Chapter 239 stalemate

What should come, it's still here.∏∈,

Master Ji Er, Mr. Ji Er, and Ji Xiaotang were in the house. While asking someone to inform Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun, they were anxiously waiting for the previous news. Soon, Master Li beat someone and sent the latest news.

The situation is not optimistic.

Although he did not open the door of the Ji family as he wished, the number of people besieging the Ji family outside still predicted that Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang.

Compared with the people outside, the number of people with combat effectiveness in the Ji Mansion is obviously at a disadvantage.

"It seems that the other party is determined to win." Master Ji Er said.

This is because they took precautions in advance. For example, Master Li, who was supposed to be escorting food and grass, quietly brought the escorting food and grass back to Qingyuan with the escorting food and grass.

If it weren't for these people led by Master Li, I'm afraid that the gate of the Ji family would have been broken in this time.

And the other party is not without scruples.

Among the people besieging the Ji family at this moment, there were no dead soldiers that Ji Xiaotang had ever seen. After all, although the other party had been guarding against the Ji family, he had to hide his eyes and could not mobilize people to come to Qingyuan with great fanfare.

However, these concerns ended here. If these people outside could not conquer the Ji family, then a large number of dead soldiers would arrive soon.

"No matter what, you must hold on until reinforcements arrive." Ji Xiaotang ordered the person who came to report the news.

The servant who reported the news agreed and hurriedly stepped back and went forward.

"Let's go to the old lady's place." Master Ji Er said. He had to properly place these people in his family first so that he could let go and go to the front to fight against the enemy with the guards.

Master Ji Er carefully hugged Changsheng from Mrs. Ji Er's arms. While holding Mrs. Ji Er's hand, Ji Xiaotang hurriedly came to Mrs. Ji's yard with Madam Cheng and a group of confidant maids and wives.

The lamp was already on the house. Old Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun were both dressed neatly, and they were sitting on the kang with nervous expressions.

Ji Xiaoyun leaned in Old Lady Ji's arms, but Old Lady Ji's waist was straight.

"It's outside..." Old Mrs. Ji asked hurriedly when she saw them coming.

"Old lady. This is the disaster I mentioned." Mr. Ji Er told Old Lady Ji.

"Are those victims in Qingyuan? How can people's hearts be so bad? Without us, they would have died long ago.∏∈, now for food, I will repay my grudges!" Old Mrs. Ji's eyes were slightly red, and her tone was full of indignation.

"Grandmother, not a disaster victim." Ji Xiaotang stopped Mrs. Ji. The people outside pretended to be someone sent by Master Ji San, but wanted to open the Ji family's door but failed. Some of them recognized Master Li and suddenly realized that the Ji family had prepared in advance.

These people began to attack the Ji family, urging the banner of disaster victims in the city. They said that the Ji family would hand over the grain stored in the warehouse, and would let the Ji family go.

This is naturally the trick of the thief.

The Ji family's manager is stationed at the gate of the Ji family, who often have frequent contact with the victims. Among those people, there are indeed victims who live in shantytowns now, but those idle and inappropriate people among the victims, not the young and strong victims who have been organized by the Ji family long ago.

"Grandma, they said that, but they still wanted to open the door of our family and let us surrender." Ji Xiaotang further explained to Old Mrs. Ji.

"If it's not them, who can it be?" Old Mrs. Ji was surprised.

"Someone recognized Jiang Qingshan." Master Ji Er told Old Lady Ji that among the people who besieged the Ji family, Jiang Qingshan. Although he was pretending, he was at the forefront and was very familiar to the servants of the Ji family, so he was soon recognized by the gatekeeper.

Not only did Jiang Qingshan come by himself, he also brought his son-in-law Ma Wenhong and the servants and guys at home.

"I'm afraid those other people were bought by him." Master Ji Er said.

"He... was so deceiving!" Old Mrs. Ji was shocked and angry.

"Grandma, it's not the time to talk about these things. The situation outside is not good. Please take my mother quickly, sister and Changsheng to hide." Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly.

Master Ji Er nodded, and he came over to place Old Mrs. Ji and others.

"What am I hiding? Am I still afraid that he will not succeed?" Old Mrs. Ji said, knowing that the person who came was Jiang Qingshan, although Old Mrs. Ji was surprised and angry, she seemed to be less afraid.

If only Jiang Qingshan came, it would be really not scary. However, unfortunately, Jiang Qingshan was just a pawn, and the truly terrifying person was still behind.

Mr. Ji quickly explained to Mrs. Ji, and focused on mentioning that he had lived forever. Mrs. Ji was actually out of his mind at this time, so he nodded quickly.

"Maybe where can we hide? By the way, the old man left a cellar with silver hidden in the past. It was quite spacious, so let's hide where we go." Old Mrs. Ji said.

"Grandmother's cellar should have been built by Jiang Qingshan's father at the time." Ji Xiaotang said.∏∈,

"So, Jiang Qingshan is afraid that everyone knows where people can hide in our family!" Old Mrs. Ji said.

"This is what is called "guarding everything" and "guarding everything is hard to defend against." Master Ji Er said with a calm face.

"What should I do?" Old Mrs. Ji was a little anxious, "I'm fine. Even though I've lived at these ages, I'm not considered a death today. But there are Xiaoyun, Xiaotang, and Changsheng."

At this time, Old Mrs. Ji was really worried about Ji Xiaotang and the others.

Although it is difficult to guard against family thieves, fortunately they have long been suspicious of Jiang Qingshan.

"Don't worry, grandmother, dad and uncle have prepared another place to hide." Ji Xiaotang said.

When Ji Xiaotang suggested that the granary be built secretly, she also thought that there might be such a day. She planned ahead, so she suggested to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San to build another dark room at home.

The location of this dark room is located underground in the library.

All the servants in the back house had been gathered in one place at this moment. Ji Xiaoyun supported Mrs. Ji Er, and Master Ji Er, held Changsheng, still holding Mrs. Ji Er's hand. Ji Xiaotang quickly arrived at the library with Madam Cheng, the wet nurse and a few confidant girls.

Master Ji Er opened the door of the dark room and asked Ji Xiaoyun to help Mrs. Ji in first, and then handed the immortality to Mrs. Ji Er's hands.

Mrs. Ji Er took over Changsheng. Changsheng just woke up, but was coaxed to sleep again. Now she was in a thick quilt. Her little face was blushing and the cuteer she was. Mrs. Ji Er kissed Changsheng gently on Changsheng's face, and then she was so cruel that she stuffed Changsheng into Ji Xiaoyun's arms.

Old Mrs. Ji and Ji Xiaoyun were both shocked.

"It's good if the old lady takes the children to hide. I'm with the master." Mrs. Ji Er said, her expression and tone were extremely firm.

Master Ji Er was very moved, but obviously he was not willing to do so.

When Ji Xiaotang met next to him, he knew that the two people had arguing about this issue, and it would definitely be endless.

"Mom. I can't live without you. My father and I will not have any trouble outside." The people of the Ji family can stop Jiang Qingshan from outside, and rescue soldiers will soon come from the young and strong side of the disaster victims.

"And, there are grandfathers, uncles, and Ayou." Until now, Ji Xiaotang has been calm and composed, and his words and deeds are no different from usual.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang like this, you will have an illusion that the things in front of you are actually no big deal, and they will eventually develop a good direction.

Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang insisted on letting Mrs. Ji Er stay.

While Old Mrs. Ji was relieved, she saw Ji Xiaotang standing outside.

"Xiaotang..." Old Mrs. Ji meant that Ji Xiaotang should have hid with them.

"Don't worry, grandma, it's okay for me to be outside." Ji Xiaotang comforted Mrs. Ji, and then asked Madam Cheng and a few girls to follow in.

"Madam, I'll leave it to you here." Ji Xiaotang looked at Madam Cheng and whispered.

Ji Xiaotang's words are not just superficial. She needs Madam Cheng to take care of Madam Ji and Madam Ji Er in the secret room. If something goes wrong, she and Madam Ji Er cannot come back safely. She also hopes that Madam Cheng can take care of the elderly, women and children who are left behind by the Ji family in the future.

Because I met Mama Cheng in the turmoil in the previous life, I had seen how she calmly and properly cared for a large number of victims. Ji Xiaotang trusted Mama Cheng very much. She believed that if the worst thing happened, Mama Cheng would not leave the Ji family's old and weak, and she would also have the ability to take good care of them.

Staying behind Madam Cheng is of course not just for this reason.

In this situation, Ji Xiaotang hopes to minimize innocent casualties. Madam Cheng is not a member of Ji's family, and those people have no reason to have to kill the city. Ji Xiaotang hopes Madam Cheng can survive.

Moreover, Ji Xiaotang also considered the identity of Madam Cheng...

If she and Mr. Ji Er were unable to survive this disaster and Mrs. Ji Er and his wife survived, then they would likely fall into the hands of the court. At that time, with the relationship between Madam Cheng and Prince Jing'an, they could protect the elderly and weak people of the Ji family to a certain extent.

"Madam." Ji Xiaotang shook Madam Cheng's hand, everything was silent.

Madam Cheng's face moved slightly. After such a thing happened, she should have been with Ji Xiaotang outside, but Ji Xiaotang gave her the opportunity to live. Madam Cheng understood Ji Xiaotang's kindness and her instructions.

"Xiaotang, don't worry, as long as I'm here..." Madam Cheng said solemnly. As long as she has a breath, she will try her best to protect these people.

Ji Xiaotang nodded, then looked at the person inside again, smiled and made a gesture of silence, then looked away neatly, and closed the door of the secret room with Master Ji Er.

...

Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji Er walked out of the library. Master Ji Er couldn't help but look back and looked at it. There was a deep reluctance in that look. He and Ji Xiaotang both knew that maybe they had met their family just now.

Just as they closed the door of the secret room, Old Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji Second and Ji Xiaoyun clearly had tears in her eyes. Ji Xiaoyun even wanted to rush out and said she wanted to replace Ji Xiaotang.

"Dad don't worry, no matter what, mother and the others will be safe." Maybe they couldn't stand the reinforcements, but she firmly believed that Mrs. Ji Er and Changsheng would definitely do it.

"Yes." Master Ji Er nodded heavily. In any case, even if he died, he would protect the Ji family, hold the bandits outside, and wait for reinforcements to rescue his family. "Xiaotang, Daddy, I'm sorry for you. This shouldn't be your responsibility."

"This is the responsibility of every Ji family, but now, only my father and I can take on this responsibility." Ji Xiaotang said calmly. This arrangement is the most correct and the least expensive arrangement.

Neither father nor daughter said anything more, because even here, they could hear the shouts of killing from all sides. The Ji family was completely surrounded, and the thieves were besieging the Ji family from all sides.

"I'll go ahead." Master Ji Er said.

"I'll guard the back corner gate." Ji Xiaotang said.

The front door and the back corner door are the most easily compromised places, and are guarded by Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang respectively. As for other places, they are left to Master Li to guard them.

The father and daughter said a few hurriedly, then parted ways. As Master Ji Er walked, he covered the soft armor sent by the servant and took the sword from the servant. Although he was a scholar, as long as Master Ji Er appeared at the gate, he could greatly boost the morale of the Ji family.

Seeing that Master Ji Er left in a hurry, Ji Xiaotang also brought people to the back door quickly. Jin'er and Xiu'er gave each bow and arrow and the other a long sword. Ji Xiaotang was wearing it neatly as he walked.

Ji Xiaotang's close-fitting girl did not stay in the secret room, but chose to be with Ji Xiaotang. Jin'er, Xiu'er, Bi'er, Cui'er, and the new Yao'er all held swords and swords in their hands, as well as several strong wives and mother-in-laws, all holding kitchen knives and sticks in their hands, followed Ji Xiaotang.

There were not enough guards, so Ji Xiaotang gathered all the girls, daughters-in-law and mother-in-law. These are usually confidants in various yards, and they all understand very well that now the war is in chaos. If the Ji family is really broken, then the ending that waiting for them will definitely not be good.

This is not only guarding the Ji family, but also fighting for their own wealth and life.

Ji Xiaotang has made everyone in the Ji Mansion clearly realize this.

When Ji Xiaotang came to Houjiao Gate, Houjiao Gate was in danger. Ji Xiaotang's arrival not only instantly boosted morale, but also guarded Houjiao Gate, which was about to be broken.

The person in charge of leading people to guard the Houjiaomen was the head of the farm. He should have been in the farm, but he reported to Mr. Ji Er because of the food matter. He stayed in Ji Mansion late.

The Ji Mansion was besieged, and Tianzhuangtou was the first to stop. He was still stronger and stronger. Although he was covered in blood, he was dancing with a big ring of swords.
