Chapter 27 My Soldiers and Horses(2/2)
Mrs. Li grabbed him with one hand and beat him across the face: "You unfilial son, what do you want to do? My eldest son came to pick me up, why don't you let me go? You want to kill me? Why do you want to kill me?"
Li Fengchang was embarrassed and did not dare to escape. He simply knelt down and allowed himself to be beaten and scolded. The women around him were crying and shouting.
The hall was in chaos.
The prefect of Jiangling stood here and seemed to exist and not exist. He looked at the crying women and finally sighed.
"It's my fault," he said, leaning down to salute, "It's my fault, old lady, please calm down."
Mrs. Li didn't even look at him, she just scolded Li Fengchang.
The prefect of Jiangling straightened his clothes and said, "Madam, please calm down. I will go and clear the way for you to disperse."
After saying that, he turned around and went out.
Mrs. Li stopped crying and grabbed Li Fengchang: "Leave immediately." Looking at the room again, "No one can think about it anymore. My son picked up me, his brother and nephew. Don't worry about those of yours anymore."
Those messy relatives, if you want to leave, just come with us; if you don’t want to leave your relatives, go to them.”
This was said to the daughters-in-law, who lowered their heads and shed tears.
"For the servants in the family, except for the ten who follow the carriage in each room, the rest can follow if they want to leave. If you don't have a carriage or a horse, you can find your own way. Those who don't want to leave will be rewarded with a reward of ten taels for guarding the house."
Is this all the servants can take with them? Even if there are no cars or horses, there are a large number of soldiers and horses in front of them. They are chasing after them with hope. Suddenly, cries of joy can be heard in the hall.
Mrs. Li was quick to make a mess, and the hopeful servants quickly prepared the carriages and horses. Those who didn't want to leave were given gold and silver on the spot, and those who wanted to leave picked up the baggage they had packed long ago and ran out to buy a car.
A horse buys a donkey. As a servant of the Li family, you are a self-sufficient family.
The owner does not provide carriages and horses, so they can afford them themselves.
The door of Li's house, which had been closed for many days, was opened, but no one rushed towards it.
"Everyone is getting out of the way." Li Mingran lifted the car curtain and looked out, "There are still soldiers and horses to clear the way for us."
There were many people at the door, but they were standing on both sides without blocking the road. They were not making any noise or crying, looking sad or angry. There were soldiers on both sides holding weapons to block them.
These soldiers and horses are not from Jiannan Road, but from Jiangling Mansion.
"Hurry up and put down the car curtain." The sisters-in-law sitting in a car said hurriedly and pulled Li Mingran's hand down.
It's so boring. She looked at her sisters-in-law who were crowded in the carriage and avoided the windows. Was it because she didn't dare to look or because she was ashamed to be seen? Li Mingran pouted. She had never been like this before in her whole life. It didn't matter whether she was riding in a carriage or riding a horse.
Well, whether walking or walking, I feel proud and upright.
Li Minghua sat by the window without lifting the curtain, looking out the window and listening to the prefect's voice coming in from outside.
"We have five thousand soldiers and horses in Jiangling Mansion, who will protect everyone and the city."
"The rebels are still far away from us. The Governor of Qi in the Southeast Road leads the Pingyuan Army and the Jianzhou Army with tens of thousands of troops to fight against the rebels."
"We are close to Huainan. Mrs. Chu of Huainan Road is recovering Huainan Road. The rebels are retreating steadily. I have sent people to ask for help from her."
"The lady of Chu State was kind-hearted, rescued orphans and helped the poor, and was brave and good at fighting. She rushed to help Yizhou, raided Anton, and the Zhenwu Army was famous."
"Even these can't stop the rebels. I, Hu Wangjiang, will definitely send you to Huainan Road."
"As long as you enter Huainan Road, Mrs. Chu will definitely let you live."
His voice was hoarse, and he shouted countless times, over and over again, shouting away the frightened people and opening a way for them to escape.
Li Minghua lowered his head and raised his hand slightly to wipe away a tear that had flowed inexplicably.
I don't know if it was Magistrate Hu's words or Mrs. Chu's words that made the people on the street become quiet and watch the long motorcade quietly.
Li Fengchang couldn't stand it even if he was sitting in the car. He got out of the car and said to Magistrate Hu: "Sir, I have asked Jiannan Road to send more troops and horses. They will arrive soon. If we reach a safe place, we will send these troops and horses again immediately."
Come back and help your Lord defend the city."
If, again, Magistrate Hu just listened to such words, he nodded and said nothing.
Li Fengchang couldn't continue talking since there was no one to cheer him up. He hugged Magistrate Hu and saluted him, then turned around and got into the car.
The long motorcade drove out of the city gate, and five thousand soldiers and horses waiting outside the city gate formed a square formation.
Behind the Li family's carriages, carriages, horses and people on foot continued to follow.
Although the Li family only asked their servants to follow them, they would not drive others away. Following these soldiers and horses might be safer than the city.
The wind lifted the car curtain and Li Minghua saw the commotion on the road. The commotion was no longer the joy and happiness of the past, but only filled with panic and sadness. There was a monk in the crowd...
He was wearing a bamboo hat, a wooden staff, and a tattered monk's robe, and he walked against the city amidst the crowds of people running out.
