Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 339 Retreat

Don't you know that after the other armies of the Yan army captured the city, they killed or arrested the officials in the state or county offices, and they were full of evil, and there were probably many cases of rape, abuse and abuse.

Zhu Xiuyuan would never sit still and wait for death!
If you live or die with Jiangzhou City, you will die of humiliation.

Why bother?
Although he gradually recognized his identity as a citizen of the Chen Dynasty, he was a modern man, how could he be so stupid.

As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!
"Madam, listen to me, Jiangzhou City will be destroyed by midnight today at the latest..."

"Ah, husband...can't you keep it?"

"Get ready quickly, pack your belongings and put on civilian clothes. When the city is broken, we will rush out together!"

"Okay, okay, husband, I'll be ready right now..." The expression on Dong Shuzhen's face varied, ranging from worry to joy.

"By the way, husband, what about my sister and father?"

"Don't worry, you get ready first and I'll inform Shuyu."

When Dong Shuzhen, Xia Wu and Qiu Wen were rummaging through boxes and boxes to prepare their luggage, Zhu Xiuyuan arrived at Dong Shuyu's courtyard alone.

Knocking on the courtyard door, it was Haruyuki who opened the door.

"Is Shuyu here? I have something urgent to discuss with her." Zhu Xiuyuan stepped into the courtyard gate and asked casually.

"Uncle, Miss is still reading in the study, please come with me."

Chunxue knew that this was an extraordinary time, and his uncle came to see the eldest lady in person. He was worried that there was something urgent, so he didn't care much and took Zhu Xiuyuan directly to the study.

Soon, Zhu Xiuyuan came to Dong Shuyu's study.

"Xiuyuan, you... look a lot more haggard..." Dong Shuyu stood up from the chair behind the desk and ordered Chun Xue to serve tea.

"No need." Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hand, rubbed his temples, and kept his spirits up, "Shuyu, at midnight today, Jiangzhou City will be destroyed."

Snapped!
Dong Shuyu took the teacup from Chunxue's hand and dropped it to the ground. It immediately broke into pieces and the hot tea splashed everywhere.

"Are you OK?"

Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked, because in an hour and a half, there would be chaos in Jiangzhou. Zhu Xiuyuan was tired and worried, so he was inevitably like a frightened bird.

After regaining his composure, he walked over again and spoke out words of comfort. Not only was he shocked, but Dong Shuyu was even more frightened.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Dong Shuyu gently lifted up her long white skirt. Some of the tea she had just splashed on it, and a few tea leaves were still stuck to it.

"Jiangzhou City, is it really impossible to keep it?" Dong Shuyu finished fixing the skirt, looked up at Zhu Xiuyuan, and frowned.

"Well, the Yan army has been attacking for three days and two nights without regard to life or death. Our Jiangzhou defenders are about to run out of weapons. I estimate that midnight today will be the time when Jiangzhou City will be broken!"

Zhu Xiuyuan faced Dong Shuyu directly and kept his spirits up. The two were only one foot apart.

"Then...what are Xiuyuan's plans?"

Dong Shuyu's brows trembled, her eyes were like autumn water, and her delicate face was flushed with blush.

The eyes are complicated and difficult to understand, there are calmness, horror, panic and fear.

It was obvious that Dong Shuyu was upset.

After all, it was a city breach, not as simple as opening the city gate.

Where will the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, her father, and the Dong family go?
Moreover, the Yan people were famous for their cruelty and reputation throughout the world. Dong Shuyu could not imagine what would happen after the Yan army invaded the city.

"Shu Yu, you don't have to be afraid. I am planning now. When the city is broken, we will rush out together. With Master, Yan Dashan, and the two elders Liu and Guan here, everything will be fine. Don't worry!" "But... …But what about Zhen’er and dad?”

"I have asked my wife to pack her bags... By the way, Shuyu, please hurry up and pack your bags. Bring the necessary things and pretend to be an ordinary civilian girl. It is best to put some flowers on your face..."

Zhu Xiuyuan talked endlessly, but Dong Shuyu quietly lowered his head, with a hint of shyness on his face.

Zhu Xiuyuan's words just now sounded to her like he was praising her for her good looks...

"As for my father-in-law, after we have packed up, we will go to the Yamen together to find him. I have sent Master a letter to him, and he will come with us together with Yan Dashan, Elder Liu, Elder Guan, and Liu Wencai. We’ll make peace.”

After Zhu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he suddenly saw Dong Shuyu lowering his head shyly.

"Shuyu, Shuyu?"

"Ah..." Dong Shuyu came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll pack my bags immediately and go to pick up daddy together."

"That's great..." Zhu Xiuyuan was just about to leave when a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Panting, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Sima... Sir, it's a happy event, a great happy event... The Yan army... has retreated!"

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his head suddenly and asked hurriedly: "What? The Yan army retreated? How is that possible!"

At this time, another person's voice came from outside: "Master Sima, so you are here...the Yan army retreated, not only retreated, but also broke up the camp overnight, crossed the Yangtze River, and set up camp on the other side of the Yangtze River..."

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned. He was already extremely sleepy, but now after hearing the news, he always felt like he was in a dream.

"Impossible, impossible, the Yan army is about to win, how could it be possible to withdraw at this time! Impossible! Impossible!"

Zhu Xiuyuan shook his head, but it made him dizzy.

Because he hadn't slept well in several days, he felt sleepy and his head was actually dizzy.

However, another person's voice came from outside, with a joyful tone: "My benefactor, they didn't lie to you. The Yan army really withdrew. They left cleanly. No one was left. I came here specially to look for my benefactor." , just to discuss together what the Yan army meant by this move..."

This was Yan Dashan's voice.

Since Yan Dashan said so and came here in person, then this matter cannot be wrong.

In other words, the Yan army really withdrew its troops!

OK, great!
There is no need to worry about the city being destroyed, and there is no need to prepare to flee...

As soon as the tight string was loosened, the will that had forcibly supported Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly disappeared.

He suddenly felt a headache and dizziness, and a strong sleepiness hit him, which was unstoppable. His limbs seemed to have been hollowed out, and all his strength was taken away.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't bear it anymore, his consciousness gradually fell silent, his limbs went limp, and the world spun for a while, but it was a rare relief.

In a daze, he seemed to hear Dong Shuyu's scream.

After some turbulence, he finally put his head on the pillow.

but……

This pillow seems... soft and fragrant, soft and bouncy, and very comfortable to sleep on.

He couldn't help moving, found a comfortable position, and couldn't wait to fall asleep...

Actually that "pillow".
