The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 288 Xu Cunming Escapes
294
With Tao Yufeng and Duan Kui guarding the east gate, and Wen Tiancheng and Shi Chunbo guarding the west gate, Lou Chenxiao was not worried about what would happen.

"There are too many wounded, I may not be able to go back tonight." Mi Congcong was worried that the wounds of those seriously injured would be infected and cause fever, so she couldn't rest assured when she went back.

Lou Chenxiao pursed his lips, and pondered for a while: "Then go back and have something to eat first, and I will accompany you back later."

He didn't refuse, as Mi Congcong expected, but also unexpectedly, she stared at him with sparkling eyes for a while, said nothing, smiled, held his hand tightly and went home.

Yun Kou and Aunt Cai had prepared the meals a long time ago, and when the husband and wife washed up and went to the dining room, Mi Dayuan was already devouring it.

Mi Congcong looked at him strangely, but he had no appetite at all.

Midayuan added two bowls of rice, seeing that Mi Congcong hadn't finished half a bowl of rice, he couldn't help asking worriedly, "Congcong, what's wrong with you?"

"No discomfort, just loss of appetite."

Mi Congcong was puzzled, didn't it mean that people who kill people for the first time will have psychological shadows?Why is her cousin still eating like this?

Lou Chenxiao scooped up a bowl of soup and brought it to her: "Drink some soup if you don't have an appetite."

Although this girl was only treating the wounded today, the scene was also very bloody, and it was understandable that she had no appetite.

After Mi Dayuan finished his meal, he saw that Lou Chenxiao and Mi Congcong were still eating slowly, and after putting down the bowl, he talked about the scene of killing the enemy today.

Lou Chenxiao smiled, and occasionally glanced at his wife. Seeing the helplessness on her face, the smile in his eyes deepened.

It's a pity that his cousin, his daughter-in-law, doesn't join the army, but he can't say this to his daughter-in-law.

"Master!" Feiying walked into the dining room and Mi Dayuan stopped talking.

Lou Chenxiao picked up a vegetable and put it into his mouth, then asked casually, "What's the matter?"

"Master, Xu Cunming took his family and ran away from the south gate." Feiying said expressionlessly.

This family is his wife Yang and several maidservants. The rest of the Xu family have left before the rebels arrived.

"What?" Hearing this, Mi Dayuan's voice rose sharply: "Xu Cunming ran away?"

"Yes."

"His grandma's!" Mi Dayuan swears angrily: "Xu Cunming, a bastard, as the parent official of Feiyu County, does not live and die with the people in the city, and he can't run away just after he started fighting. If I catch him, he will be killed." He can't! No, killing him is too cheap, I have to skin him first, then chop up his meat and feed it to the dogs!"

Mi Congcong's forehead hurts from hearing this, is my cousin letting go?
She had never heard such rough words from her cousin before, so she really didn't feel used to it!
"Zirui, Congcong, eat slowly, I'll tell Tao Baihu the news, and see if I can get him back!" Mi Dayuan got up and left.

"Wait a minute." Lou Chenxiao called him to stop: "Just tell Tao Baihu to send someone to watch over the city gate, and Xu Cunming will let him go."

"Zirui, are we going to let Xu Cunming go like this?" Mi Dayuan was very unwilling.

"There's no need to chase after him, he can't run anyway." Lou Chenxiao narrowed his narrow eyes: "Xu Cunming's easy escape actually reminded us that the north and south gates must be guarded." , we must not let the enemy take advantage of it!"

Mi Dayuan's heart trembled, he didn't worry about Xu Cunming's escape, and hurried to the east gate.

Zirui was right, they had drawn all their manpower to the east gate and west gate, if the rebels attacked from the weaker south gate and north gate, the consequences would be disastrous!

After eating, Lou Chenxiao and Mi Congcong planned to change Gu Tong back to wash and eat, while Kong Zhao and Xiao Can asked Xiuxin to deliver the food.

"Lou Chenxiao, why don't you see Mo Qi?" Mi Congcong asked suddenly.

The toxin in Mo Qi's body has been cleared. Except for the arrow wound on his shoulder that has just started to scab, the wounds in other places are almost healed. I haven't seen anyone else in the medical center for the past two days, and I don't know where he went?
"He went to work." Lou Chenxiao said concisely, without elaborating.

Mi Congcong's thoughts moved slightly, and he turned his head to glance at him. Under the moonlight, his eyes were as calm as water, which made people feel at ease.

This was outside, and Mi Congcong didn't ask any further questions. Feiyu County was in such a catastrophe, she believed that the man in front of her would not do nothing.

Seeing that he was about to reach the west city gate, Lou Chenxiao suddenly tightened Mi Congcong's hand, and his footsteps paused.

"What's wrong?" Mi Congcong asked with concern.

"There's an assassin ahead!" Lou Chenxiao hugged her waist instead, and said to Feiying, "Go and see.

"Yes!"

Less than a quarter of an hour after Feiying passed by, the sound of fighting stopped, and Lou Chenxiao rushed over with Mi Congcong.

"Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise you would have hurt the wounded." Gu Tong angrily kicked the two corpses on the ground, and cursed: "You don't have eyes, you dare to assassinate me!"

"Master, are you alright?" Mi Congcong stepped forward and asked.

"Does it look like you have something to do as a teacher?" The little old man snorted coldly, looked at the two corpses on the ground, and smiled strangely: "Teacher, do you want to interrogate their souls?"

Feiying squatted down to check the meeting, and said, "There's no need to interrogate, if I'm right, these two people should be the dead soldiers by Qin Huai's side."

"Which green onion is Qinhuai?" The little old man and little mung bean stared at him: "Why did you send someone to assassinate me?"

"Master, you forgot that Qin Huai is Zirui's mother-killing enemy." Mi Congcong reminded.

After the fake yamen servant incident that day, the little old man forced Lou Chenxiao to question behind her back, and Lou Chenxiao told him everything.

"Oh, it's that guy!" The little old man said as if waking up from a dream, "but why did he assassinate me?"

Feiying glanced at the two corpses on the ground and said, "If I'm guessing right, they assassinated Mr. Gu because of today's poison, and someone from the rebel army wants to take revenge on you."

This dead man only assassinated Gu Tong, not his young master and his wife. In fact, this matter is not difficult to guess. I never thought that Qin Huai would work hand in hand with the rebels!
"Hehe, Qin Huai, right?" Gu Tong sneered, "I've written down this grudge!"

The news of Xu Cunming's escape made Tao Yufeng and Wen Tiancheng very angry, but in order not to arouse the uneasiness of the people, they concealed the news.

But what they didn't expect was that before dawn the next day, the news that Xu Cunming had fled with his family members spread throughout the city. The people panicked. Their parents and officials all ran away. The rebels were going to capture Feiyu. County yet?
The people cried and begged Tao Yufeng to open the city gate and surrender, which seriously affected morale.

Duan Kui and Wen Tiancheng haven't discussed the countermeasures to appease the people, and the rebels attacked the city again.

Seeing this situation, Mi Congcong was also worried, but the wounded on the city wall kept being carried down, so she had no time to care about other things.
