Chapter 94: The Hideout
The west city was destroyed, and the city fell into chaos in an instant. The sound of shouts, screams, and fire light awakened the entire sleeping Fufeng City. Mrs. Ye had lived in Fufeng City for ten years. Because of her special status and experience, she She was very alert to such turmoil, and immediately got up and went out to investigate. When she figured out the cruel reality, her face turned pale.
This night was never similar to the night ten years ago, except that this time the enemy was replaced by Donghu people. The rumbling sound of horseshoes was clearly distinguishable. Maybe in the next moment, Donghu people would appear at the door of the house, and Mrs. Ye turned around and walked in. Behind her, several maids and Ye Jing'er Ye Feng were trembling all over, looking at her helplessly.
"You guys, hurry up and run for your lives!" Mrs. Ye took a deep breath and said to the girls: "Go to Dongcheng, the county captain and the others are there, maybe they can protect you."
"Ma'am, what about you and your young lady?" a girl asked.
Mrs. Ye shook her head, "This is our home, we're not going anywhere, we're here, you hurry up, if those Donghu people get here, you won't be able to leave, hurry up." Mrs. Ye waved his hand, Destroy Road.
Seeing the figures of the girls leaving in a hurry, Ye Jing'er's pale face showed puzzlement, "Mother, why don't we go there? It's too dangerous to stay at home."
Ye's face slowly calmed down, shaking his head, "Jing'er, we can't go there, it's more dangerous than staying at home now, you come with me."
Mrs. Ye strode towards a woodshed at the back of the house. There was always a place where sundries were piled up there. After pushing away some sundries, Mrs. Ye struggled to push open a tattered cabinet, and a dark hole appeared in front of the three of them. , "Quick, go in!" Ye Shi urged.
"God, why is there a hole in our house?" Ye Jing'er covered her mouth and shouted.
"I dug this hiding hole when I first came to Fufeng City. I never used it. Unexpectedly, it came in handy today!" Ye sighed, "It's also fortunate that I dug this hole back then, otherwise, today I really don’t know how to escape this catastrophe!”
The three of them bent down and walked into the hole. The hole was not big enough to accommodate the three of them to hide. Mrs. Ye was the last one to go in. There was a hemp rope tied behind the broken cabinet. Mrs. Ye dragged the hemp rope with great difficulty. Little by little, the cabinet was moved back to the previous position, and there was a clattering sound from outside. It was that some sundries piled on the cabinet fell down, almost burying the whole cabinet.
Mrs. Ye hugged Ye Jing'er tightly, Ye Jing'er held Ye Feng in her arms, the three of them snuggled together, the cave was extremely dark, and the sound of shouting for killing outside seemed much quieter.
"Mother, why do you say that Dongcheng County is more dangerous?" Ye Jing'er asked in confusion.
"Jing'er, isn't this obvious? When Gao Yuan came back last time, he said that outside Fufeng City, there is only one Donghu tribe with more than 400 riders. With more than 400 riders, how can they break through under normal circumstances?" Fufeng City Wall, but the Donghu people just came in, this can only show that there is an internal raid in the city, and someone helped them open the city gate."
"Is there a traitor?" Ye Jing'er exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, there are traitors, and their status is not low, otherwise it would not be so easy to open the city gate!" Mrs. Ye sneered, "This matter, if you think about it, it is self-evident who the traitor is. The target of this person is Lu Hong, Wu Kai, and even Gao Yuan. If this person really colluded with the Donghu people, then the target of the Donghu people's attack must be the county government of Dongcheng. Where are we going now? Wouldn't it be self-inflicted?"
"Mother, do you know who the traitor is?" Ye Jing'er asked in surprise.
"Who else could it be except Huo Zhu?" Ye sighed: "Look at the six thousand coins that Gao Yuan brought back the day before yesterday, it was only a three-month bonus. As you can imagine, Wu Kai made a lot of money." How much? And how much did their big backer Zhang Shouyue earn after the whole incident? Zhang Shouyue earned a lot, and the Linghu family was most affected. Because Zhang Shouyue had money, he was very likely to ban The Linghu family smuggled to Donghu through Liaoxi County, which was tantamount to cutting off the Linghu family's wealth. How could they tolerate it? The Linghu family couldn't keep their promises, but they beheaded Wu Kai, Lu Hong, and Gao Yuan who raised money for him. Waiting for people is very easy, these Donghu people are just a knife."
"So, Brother Gao is very dangerous!" Ye Jing'er's voice trembled.
"In comparison, Gao Yuan is much safer than Lu Hong and the others!" Shaking his head, Ye Shi said, "He is in Juliguan, and he has hundreds of soldiers under his command. Don't worry, he will be fine, but after this incident, Huo Zhu will definitely marry Wa to Gao Yuan, and the charge of ineffective resistance to foreign enemies is enough to make him unstoppable."
"Mom, then, what should I do?"
"Jing'er, this matter involves a very high-level struggle. Gao Yuan is just a catastrophe. We can't help, and we can't help. The most important thing now is to survive, you know? Why did I drive those girls away? Just because this cave can only hide the three of us, those girls are still here, so there is nowhere to hide, if the Donghu people catch them, they might confess us, so we can only drive them away!"
"Wouldn't it be very dangerous for them to go out at this time?" Ye Jing'er asked worriedly.
"We are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, we can't protect ourselves, and we can take care of them there!" Ye shook his head and sighed, "Wu Kai, Lu Hong, Gao Yuan and the others are far behind the cruel heart of Linghu's family. Come back, they are going to be defeated."
"Mother!" Leaning in Ye Shi's arms, Ye Jing'er burst into tears, "What can Brother Gao do?"
Ye sighed: "Perhaps the auspicious person has his own aura. Gao Yuan is very clever. If he is fine, we will follow him to escape again. Without him to help us, we will still stay in Fufeng City. Then Huo Tianliang will definitely not let you go."
The sound of horseshoes outside suddenly became clear, and the strange yelling of the Donghu people clearly spread into the cave. Ye Shi stretched out her hand and covered Ye Pu'er's mouth, and Ye Jing'er also stretched out her hand to cover Ye Pu'er's mouth. touched Ye Feng's mouth.
There was the sound of the door collapsing, and the Donghu people broke in. In the darkness, the three of them cuddled tightly together, their eyes shining with terror.
The Hutu tribe's old camp, just like Fufeng City, was still in flames, but unlike Fufeng City's tenacious resistance, the battle here was over.
La Trobe was too big, and there were actually less than twenty soldiers left in the old camp. After Gao Yuan launched an attack, it was only a wave of attacks. Almost all of these guards who hadn't even installed saddles collapsed.
Thousands of old and weak women and children of the Hutu tribe became Gao Yuan's captives after two hours. There were too many captives, but Gao Yuan had too few people, so Gao Yuan simply adopted the method of thunder and education, and there must be some people who were slightly dissatisfied. From then on, the big knife roared and chopped off immediately. After beheading dozens of people, the Donghu people finally calmed down when they saw that there were only about a hundred enemies. Although there were few enemies, they were well-equipped soldiers. Almost no one fought.
What is even more beneficial to Gao Yuan is that in this old camp, there are as many as a thousand Fufengyan people who came from Donghu people's looting last time. Although not many are strong, these tortured old people and women are also can be utilized.
Seeing Gao Yuan falling from the sky and capturing these ferocious Donghu people, the slaves in handcuffs and feet were ecstatic. Gathered weapons and assisted Gao Yuan to drive all the Donghu people together.
Hundreds of people were strung together on a rope, and these Donghu people were driven out of the old camp in a row, and they were forced to kneel to the ground.
"Little Yanzi!" Walking in front of rows of captives, Gao Yuan didn't feel much joy in his heart. This was just the first step, and the real battle had yet to come.
"Bing Cao, big victory!" Yan Haibo ran over with a happy face.
"How many casualties do we have?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Where will there be casualties when beating such old and weak people?" Yan Haibo said happily, "It's just that a few brothers just sprained their feet and fell, and their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, but it's not a big problem!"
"Have you let anyone out?"
"Let it go, let it go. As soon as the battle started, some people rushed out. According to Bing Cao's order, we deliberately let a few people go out to report."
"Okay, you go and make arrangements, hand over these captives to the care of the Fufeng people we rescued, and tell them, whoever dares to mess around, just kill them!" Gao Yuan said.
"Don't worry, Bing Cao, these people are much more ruthless than us. It seems that these days they are being bullied a lot here. Just now I saw a half-old kid chop off the head of a Donghu man who was about his age without hesitation. His head and blood splashed all over his face, and he didn't even bat an eye." Yan Haibo said.
Gao Yuan frowned, "Let's prepare for the next battle. If the plan is correct, we will have La Trobe's counterattack in a day's time!"
"Bing Cao, Bing Cao!" The infantry trotted over, "Bing Cao, look who I found?"
Gao Yuan turned his head to look, but saw the infantrymen running towards him, dragging a woman in rags with one hand and a half-grown child holding a bloody machete in the other.
"Brother Cao's daughter and son, I found it. This time, Brother Cao is going to die of joy!" The infantry laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
"Hey, isn't this the murderer kid? Tsk tsk, I said he looked familiar, but I didn't expect him to be Lao Cao's son!" Yan Haibo exclaimed.
The woman who was pulled over by the infantry was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear bruises on her face, and she was almost naked, while the child beside her had a pair of fierce eyes, and the machete in her hand was dripping with blood. There was also blood on his hands.
"Tian Cheng is your father?" Gao Yuan was also extremely happy, "We are your father's colleagues, that's great, we are also safe for you."
The child did not make a sound, but the woman bent down and saluted Gao Yuan, "Cao Lian'er thanked you sir, Cao Tiancheng is my father, this is my younger brother Cao Tianci, we were robbed by Donghu people last time."
"Okay, that's great, infantry, take good care of them, and then let Tian Cheng have a good surprise!" Gao Yuan nodded repeatedly, Tian Cheng's son and daughter didn't look easy.
