Chapter 346 Fright (2)
However, the situation in front of her was somewhat unexpected, and she hurriedly pulled up the horse rope to slow down the horse's speed.
"Call-"
It was not yet time, but the East City Gate was already closed, and a row of soldiers in armor stood at the head of the city wall, all of them with serious expressions and a chilling air all over their bodies.
What exactly is going on?
Lily was stunned for a moment, then jumped off her horse neatly, grabbed a passer-by and asked politely, "Auntie, what's the matter? Why is the city gate closed now?"
The aunt was stunned for a moment, and said with a worried face: "Little girl, you don't know yet! A large number of refugees outside the city are approaching the capital. I heard that they are more than ten kilometers away, and now there are five cities with troops and horses. The official of the Secretary has ordered the city to be sealed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
"What?!" Lily exclaimed in disbelief. Unexpectedly, the letter from the young master arrived, this Huaibei refugee has already rushed outside the capital city! Three girls and Baihui are still in Cuiwei Mountain! In the event of a riot among the commoners... Lily couldn't even think about it.
What can we do now?
Lily is very anxious. She has only been in the capital for a few months. She usually stays in the Nangong Mansion. How should I be myself?
She looked at the city gate again and was convinced that she had no ability to break through, so she could only turn around on her horse. She had to reply quickly and notify the second master of the matter.
Now we can only rely on the strength of the Nangong family!
...
At the same time, Nangong Yue, who was far away on Cuiwei Mountain, didn't know anything about the refugees in the north. She was anxiously waiting for news from Nangong Tsang in the Yuewei Pavilion.
Time has passed a stick of incense, and it is still raining heavily outside.
Seeing that Han Huaijun and the others had not returned, Nangong Yue could no longer contain the anxiety in her heart.
"Yimei, Baihui, let's go and find Big Sister!" Before she could finish her sentence, she hurriedly rushed into the rain screen with her two maids.
Xiao Yi, whose mind never left her, followed without a word.
"Sister Yue!" Jiang Yixi reached out to stop her, but she was still a step behind, and Nangong Yue had already run away. She frowned, and immediately made a decision in her heart, "Wait for me, I'll go with you too." After speaking, she also planned to rush out of the pavilion, but before she could make the trip, she was anxiously stopped by her personal maid. .
"Big girl, it's raining so hard, the road outside is wet and slippery, you can't go!"
Jiang Yixi was stopped like this, and when he looked up again, Nangong Yue had long since disappeared, so he had no choice but to give up.
The rain curtain was like weaving, obscuring Nangong Yue's vision. The visibility was extremely bad, not to mention the fact that he was in the mountains at the moment, surrounded by tall trees and lush bushes and weeds, which hindered the vision even more.
She could only look for it while shouting: "Big sister..." I hope Nangong Chen can respond when she hears it.
"Big girl..." Yimei and Baihui also called out.
Xiao Yi followed closely behind them, and while searching around, he always paid attention to Nangong Yue.
The torrential rain quickly soaked the clothes of the four of them, and the temples were wet against the foreheads, and the skirts and robes were splashed by the muddy water on the mountain road, but Nangong Yue could no longer care about it. Difficult to move forward in the rainstorm.
"Big sister! Big sister!"
Nangong Yue's voice was drowned out by the sound of torrential rain, but she still did not give up, let go of her voice and continued to shout.
