The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 277 Defending the City (1)

283
"Grandma Lou, come in and sit down!" The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law invited Mi Congcong into the room.

"Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao, I came here today to ask for something." Mi Congcong cut to the chase as soon as he entered the room.

Aunt Zhao was taken aback, looked at her daughter-in-law, and said: "What did Grandma Lou say? You are the benefactor of our family. If you have something useful to us, just ask, but don't ask for anything. of."

Hearing from her son that Lou's family is a big family, she was afraid that she would not be able to help with Grandma Lou's help, so she would feel embarrassed.

"Ms. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, I have a letter I would like to trouble you to forward to Mr. Zhao." Mi Congcong took out a letter, looked at the two of them, and asked, "I wonder if Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao could help me with this? "

"Is this letter for my son?" Aunt Zhao asked in surprise, with some hesitation in her eyes.

She didn't know what her son was doing, but she could feel from his son's words that his situation was not good, and she didn't know why Grandma Lou sent a letter to Zhe'er?

Seeing the hesitation of the two, Mi Congcong sent Zhao Youchang out and asked him to watch at the door. He lowered his voice and told Mrs. Zhao the news of the call from the rebels. Anyway, the news would spread in a few days. I can't hide it.

"Ms. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, this letter is related to the life and death of the people in Feiyu County. Please help me deliver the letter to Mr. Zhao." Mi Congcong said earnestly.

She didn't know when the rebels would reach Feiyu County, but if they acted quickly, she believed that this letter would be delivered to Zhao Chuanzhe in time. As long as the prince was willing to help, Feiyu County would be saved!
"Grandma Lou, is what you said true?" Mrs. Zhao turned pale with fright when she heard that there were rebels.

Zhao Chuanzhe's daughter-in-law also looked panicked, but she still asked the question in her heart: "Grandma Lou, the rebels are calling, what's the use of you sending a letter to my husband?"

From the reaction of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it can be seen that they didn't know that Zhao Chuanzhe was working for the prince, and Mi Congcong couldn't point it out, but said: "Mr. Zhao has a lot of contacts, I just want to do my best and obey the fate."

"Grandma Lou wants my husband to help you find a solution?"

Zhao Chuanzhe's daughter-in-law obviously misunderstood what Mi Congcong meant, but Mi Congcong nodded without further explanation.

"Mother, didn't the husband ask us to find an uncle surnamed He at the end of the village before he left? How about we give the letter to that uncle He and ask him to help deliver the letter to the husband?" Zhao Chuanzhe's daughter-in-law asked.

That Uncle He moved to Leping Village just before Chinese New Year, but they heard that Uncle He didn't like to associate with people in the village, so they never dared to bother them, but now the matter is so important that they can't take care of that too much.

Hearing this, Mi Congcong's thoughts moved slightly.

If she guessed right, the Uncle He that Zhao Chuanzhe's wife mentioned should be Zhao Chuanzhe who stayed here to take care of his family, right?

"Grandma Lou, I will send this letter to my husband, but if the rebels really come, should we flee?" Zhao Chuanzhe's wife asked worriedly.

"Aunt Zhao, Sister-in-law Zhao, don't be in a hurry, wait two days to see the situation, everything is so chaotic now, even if you want to escape, you have to think of a good place first." Mi Congcong persuaded.

Aunt Zhao sighed: "Grandma Lou is right. We are old and young. Even if we escape, we don't know where to go? I hope the rebels won't come here."

"Mother, the rebels are coming, should we store more food?" Zhao Chuanzhe's daughter-in-law lost her mind and asked again.

The husband left her a lot of silver when he left this time, and she didn't dare to spend it for fear of attracting people's attention. If the rebels really came, the price of food would definitely increase by then, so it's always right to save more food, right?

Mi Congcong opened his mouth, wanting to say that even if the rebels did enter the city, they wouldn't stay for long and there was no need to store food, but she couldn't tell them that.

After thinking about it, I still reminded: "Don't buy too much food, or it will attract attention."

"Then let's buy a hundred catties first." Aunt Zhao said after thinking about it.

If the rebels came, they had to take Youchang away, even if they bought too much food, they couldn't take it away.

"Mom, then I'll go there in the evening, so I won't attract attention." Zhao Chuanzhe's wife said.

Mi Congcong didn't stay in Leping Village for too long. As soon as the carriage drove out of Leping Village, he heard the sound of gongs in the distance.

Mi Congcong opened the curtain and listened carefully, and found that the sound of the gong was coming from the city.

In addition to the sound of gongs, there were also faint screams and shouts. Could it be that the rebels broke in?

Thinking of this, Mi Congcong's heart sank, and he said to the driver: "Quick, go back!"

Before returning to the center of the city, Mi Congcong saw a government servant running along the street, beating the gong in his hand as he ran, and shouting: "Old people and children go home, and all men gather at the city gate." !"

Following the yelling of the yamen servants, many men in the city rushed towards the center of the city, while the women, old people and children were frightened, and some timid children were frightened and cried.

Mi Congcong's heart sank a little more.

She guessed right, the rebels really called? !
The carriage drove into the main street in the city. Mi Congcong saw many yamen servants maintaining order on the street. It was not as chaotic as she imagined. She was a little surprised. She really didn't know there were so many arresters in the yamen before.

Suddenly, Mi Congcong saw Wen Tiancheng walking this way with two yamen servants, she lowered the curtain and jumped out of the car, shouting at him: "Wen Butou!"

Wen Tiancheng turned his head and stared at her for a while, his eyes flashed with astonishment: "Mr. Mi?"

This appearance, this voice is obviously that he knows that Mi Xianshi, Mi Congcong!

"Wen Butou has good eyesight." Mi Congcong smiled, glanced at the street, and asked, "I want to ask Wen Butou, what happened in the city?"

Now that the identity of the woman is confirmed, Wen Tiancheng will not have the time to find out whether she is a man or a woman, and said: "The rebels are coming soon, we call the men in the city to find a way to defend the city!"

After finishing speaking, Wen Tiancheng didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly left with his two subordinates.

Mi Congcong's eyes lit up. There are people from the government leading the city, and the people are willing to stay and guard the city. Maybe Feiyu County can really hold it!

Mi Congcong pondered for a while, then said: "Let's go to Xieyang Street!"

There were not many patients in the pharmacy on Xieyang Street at this time. When Xiao Can saw Mi Congcong, he handed over the work of picking up medicine to two drug boys, and went into the backyard with Mi Congcong.

"Girl, I heard that the rebels are coming." Xiao Can said worriedly.

The government has gathered the people to prepare to defend the city, Xiao Can did not doubt the authenticity of this matter, he was only worried that the rebels would attack, and there would be countless casualties.

"Doctor Xiao, I'm here for this purpose." Mi Congcong said: "There will definitely be a tough battle for the rebels to fight, and we can't help with the rest, but we can prepare some wound medicine in advance."
