Xie Ming

A promise made by the green hills carries immense weight; a child mends old wounds with fresh mud.

Do not say that the world is full of storms, though the armor is removed, it protects the loyal soul.

Around 9 PM that night, just as Liu Zhecheng of Beiguan was making a desperate explosion that shook the world, Qin Jing, who was guarding the Huang residence in Bingjia Lane in the east of the city, also sensed that a storm was brewing and that a crisis was imminent.

So, he secretly instructed his subordinates to carry out the order in front of the house. He looked dejected and uneasy. He threw off his robes, turned around, pushed open the door, and went into the house.

Upon reaching the inner room, he explained the advantages and disadvantages to everyone and urged them to pack their belongings and flee immediately.

A flurry of kicks landed on the back of his head, creating chaos, and his family hurriedly packed their belongings.

Marquis Qin Jing was also anxious and paced back and forth in front of the main house of the residence.

About half a quarter of an hour passed.

Just as the Qin general was getting impatient and about to push open the door...

Suddenly, the door to the inner room was pulled open halfway, and a woman in a bright green dress popped out from behind the door, causing Qin Jing to awkwardly take two steps back.

Who exactly is this person?

In fact, it was Xu Jingyi, the second daughter of Xu clan chief Jialin, from Jiulong Town in Jixi.

Over a year ago, his daughter disregarded her family's objections and followed the Third Prince Zhu Cijiong south to Guide Prefecture. There, she met Xiao once and they had a falling out.

But this young woman is fiercely stubborn, and it's hard to persuade her to stop loving him.

After arriving in the south, she devoted herself to the Duke's mansion as a maid. After several twists and turns, she unexpectedly became the confidante of the Duke's wife, Shen Yu'e.

At present, the situation has deteriorated rapidly, and the Southern Ming Dynasty is in jeopardy.

The Duke's family was in turmoil in Nanjing, and they were forced to follow the Emperor's southward flight to Hangzhou.

Last night, the Hongguang Emperor suddenly passed away, and Ma Shiying, in collusion with Liu Wenbing, managed to trap the entire household in the Huang residence.

"Ah, how about it?"

"Is everything ready?"

"Come on, come with me quickly."

Seeing Qing Jingyi's face, Qin Jing, who was not familiar with her and was also anxious, did not mince words with the woman. He quickly stepped back and asked her what was wrong.

Hearing this, Xu Jingyi was unaware of the dangers outside and even felt some disapproval of Qin Jing's reckless behavior.

And considering that, she also has an excuse to make up for the situation at this moment.

So, he braced himself on his arms and pushed the person out again, complaining and giving orders.

"Oh no, that's not it."

"General, General Qin, right? Don't just stand there."

"Quickly, doctor, go find me a doctor." Jingyi ordered, assigning tasks.

However, she didn't understand at this moment, but Qin Jing certainly did.

At a time of extreme urgency, when he heard these words, how could he not be furious?
"What? Big?"

"Hey, what time is it? Where am I supposed to find a doctor for you?"

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Qin Jing said, his expression showing a hint of exasperation and impatience.

Upon hearing this, Jingyi refused to budge and made things difficult for him.

"General, it's the Madam! She's experiencing severe abdominal pain; it might be the baby in her womb."

"Oh dear, I have nothing to do with you."

"Go quickly."

"Well, if it's hard to find a doctor, a midwife or a midwife will do."

“The inner workings of a woman’s family are not to be taken lightly.”

"We need to find someone to take a look at."

"Did you hear me? Why aren't you going?!" Jingyi snapped.

Right now, aside from the fact that her family members are unaware of the situation and dare not rashly flee, Xiao'e is indeed experiencing severe abdominal pain.

Xu Jingyi's concern for her safety and her willingness to stand up for her shows the true friendship between the two sisters.

But Qin Jing was caught in an undeserved disaster, and he had no time to waste chatting with Jingyi in front of the door.

So he resorted to force, but when reasoning failed, he simply decided to use brute force.

Even if there is some conflict, it is still better than leaving someone to die.

"Oh dear, it's pitch black, where am I supposed to find it?"

"Let's go, stop causing trouble."

"Is it inconvenient for you to move around?" "I... I can't worry about that anymore. I'll carry you, I'll carry you."

After Qin Jing finished speaking, he was no longer willing to be coy with the people at the door. He strode forward, his posture firm, and it looked like he was about to barge into the house.

"Hey, no, General, how can you barge into Madam's room?"

"you"

Seeing this situation, Jingyi was also startled. As a weak woman, she couldn't control the situation and was pulled and dragged around, making the scene quite awkward.

"Hey, go away, go to the side."

"You little brat, what are you dawdling for? There's no time to waste."

"Madam, Madam!"

“The armored soldiers guarding the outside are not all my relatives.”

"To protect the warlord's bloodline, I, Qin Jing, was forced to come here to garrison the area."

"If we don't leave quickly while things are in chaos, things will change if we delay."

“My future is uncertain, but if the situation changes suddenly, even if Madam wants to leave, it will be difficult.”

After being roughly pulled and tugged, Qin Jing, with half of his body hanging on Jingyi, hurriedly shouted these words into the house.

This can be seen as an expression of his own helpless predicament.

"Uh, where exactly are you taking us?"

Suddenly, through the door, Shen Yu'e timidly asked from inside.

"Please answer my question," Qin Jing replied hastily.

"In the southwest of the city, Lingyin Temple has several dining halls within the city, all of which have been arranged."

"Madam, please stop asking and hurry up," Qin Jing replied, stunned.

"Hey, you! I won't let you in."

"How could Madam have traveled so far?"

"Prepare the sedan chair outside first," Jingyi said protectively, still not backing down.

However, upon hearing Qin Jing's message from outside, Xiao'e, having traveled all the way south and experienced many things, had become much more composed.

She has some understanding of her own current situation.

Therefore, she had to seriously consider Qin Jing's words.

creak-

"General Qin."

"Jingyi, you, you wait, don't be so rude."

Finally, Xiao'e opened the door and revealed herself. She was six months pregnant, and two other nannies were supporting her.

Moreover, much of what Jingyi said when she first arrived was true.

The lady was currently experiencing severe pain in her arms, and it was not difficult to tell from her complexion that she looked rather weak.

However, they could not escape living under the roof of others all the way.

It's best not to provoke those in military or civilian positions outside the capital, lest you bring trouble upon yourself.

As soon as she came out, Ye quickly advised and stopped Jingyi from making any rash moves.

On the other side, Qin Jing, having now seen the True Venerable, could no longer act rashly. He took two steps back and hurriedly clasped his hands in a bow.

"Ah, Madam, yes, I am Qin Jing."

"He had previously followed Governor Xiao all the way south and was once the commander of the governor's personal guard."

"Madam, I suppose you also heard the explosion at Beiguan just now."

"You must have your own thoughts about what happened last night."

"Alas, the situation is inexplicable and extremely urgent. I apologize that I have no time to explain further."

"In any case, please believe what I have to say."

"Quick, come with me, or it will be too late."

Qin Jing didn't have time to reveal everything. Firstly, he genuinely didn't have the time, and secondly, he was afraid that the women would be horrified by what they heard, causing chaos and making it even harder to mobilize them.

Therefore, after explaining the pros and cons, the expression on everyone's face remained unchanged, and that was all that could be done.
