Lingzhou City was in chaos that night, with defeated soldiers running for their lives everywhere, and large groups of Liang troops searching for the remaining enemies.

Nangong Yu was hiding around alone, and the policemen on the street searched more and more intensively. In desperation, he had to break into a private house.

This is a very dilapidated private house. The windows have fallen out and the roof is leaking. The cold wind at night is biting and the window paper leaning against the wall is blowing. Winter is about to come. I am afraid that this will happen.

Planting a house can be used to keep out the cold.

Due to the recent war, all the strong young men have fled for their lives. There is only an old grandmother and a young granddaughter at home. When he saw Nangong Yu entering the house with a cold face, the old man took his granddaughter and huddled in the corner, trembling.

Don't dare to say anything.

Nangong Yu stared at her fiercely, and then looked around the room with his eyes.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps and noise outside the courtyard wall, followed by a knock on the door.

"Is there anyone there? We are searching for rebels, please open the door." A rough voice sounded.

"Why is the door ajar? Is there any problem?" When no one answered, another voice came from the side.

"Go in and take a look before we talk."

With a "creak", the courtyard door was slowly pushed open.

Upon hearing this, Nangong Yu trembled in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and snatched the little girl from the old man's arms. He took out a short sword from his sleeve, gave the old man a warning look, and then pulled the little girl.

Hidden behind a cabinet.

The footsteps outside the house got closer and closer, and then there was a knock on the door. The old man opened the door tremblingly, and there were several burly men in military uniforms standing at the door.

"Old man!" A Liangzhou corps commander forced a smile and looked at the old man and said, "We are Liangzhou soldiers. The rebels in the city have been wiped out. Don't be afraid."

The stubble-faced corps commander looked even more ferocious when he smiled, which startled the old man and made Liangzhou corps commander a little embarrassed.

The Wu Chief smiled coquettishly: "Old man, it's not peaceful tonight. Why isn't the courtyard door closed? Have you seen any suspicious people coming and going?"

The old woman shook her head tremblingly, not daring to speak, and glanced unnaturally at the corner where Nangong Yu was hiding.

The captain's eyes narrowed, his expression was natural, and he said with a smile: "Then let's leave the old man first. Don't worry, you can live in peace in the future. You can rest early."

Then he gently closed the door, leaving the old woman standing alone at the door.

Nangong Yu didn't dare to express his anger, and still huddled in the corner and listened quietly to what was going on outside.

"Damn! There's no one! Go and search somewhere else quickly!" the forceful voice of the team leader came from outside the house.

A soldier chuckled: "Commander, your smile is so ugly, you might as well cry! Hanging it on the door will definitely ward off evil spirits!"

"Haha!" A burst of laughter rang out, followed by the sound of footsteps walking away.

Nangong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the little girl in his arms. The little girl cried and threw herself into her grandma's arms. The old man hugged the little girl tightly and kept comforting her.

Nangong Yu casually placed the dagger on the table, pulled up a chair and sat on it, panting, his heart beating very fast, feeling grateful to have survived the disaster.

"Bang!"

The door of the house was suddenly kicked open, and the wooden door, which was not very strong in the first place, was kicked down.

"Commander! There is indeed someone!" Two Liangzhou soldiers broke into the house and saw Nangong Yu's figure, and shouted outside.

Nangong Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up suddenly, reaching out to pick up the dagger on the table.

A Liangzhou soldier stepped forward and kicked the table over. Another soldier immediately drew his sword and put the blade directly on Nangong Yu's neck. Nangong Yu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and did not dare to move.

Several more soldiers poured in from outside the hospital, holding torches in their hands. The corps commander who had just appeared burst in with a ferocious smile: "Huh, you want to fool me with this kind of trick? Tell me! Who is this!"

Nangong Yu swallowed and said in a trembling voice: "I am from the East China Sea. I fled here. Unexpectedly, there was a war again, so I had to hide here for the night."

"What about this knife?"

"The war is in chaos, you have to get something to defend yourself, Master." Nangong Yu said with a smile on his face, feeling sad in his heart. He never thought that one day he would end up in this situation.

"Fart!" The soldier on the side kicked Nangong Yu directly, almost knocking him to the ground: "Do you think we are fools? Are we still from the East China Sea? We obviously have a northern accent! Are we rebels? Tell us!"

Nangong Yu felt annoyed for a while, why he had forgotten this, and now he could only take one step at a time.

"No, I really am not. I have been doing business in the north, and I just came to the south this year. Unexpectedly, there was a war, and business is not easy to do these days." Nangong Yu started to cry hypocritically.

How could the corps commander believe such words? He snorted coldly: "Take him out first, then arrest him!"

Two arrogant Liangzhou soldiers pushed the pale Nangong Yu out.

The corps commander looked at the kicked-down door and frowned: "Xiao Liuzi! You kicked this door down, right? You kid, don't you know the rules in the army? Hurry up and fix it for the old man!"

The young man on the side, known as Xiaoliuzi, whose ferocious aura had just subsided, went to fix the door dejectedly.

The captain scanned the room, looking at the dilapidated room, and then at the two poor people, an old man and a young man.

I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in my heart. I stretched my hand in my arms for a long time and took out two strings of copper coins. I felt they were a little short, so I kicked Xiao Liuzi at Zheng'an Gate again and said, "If you have any money in your pocket, take it out!"

Xiao Liuzi looked at the two old and young people standing aside, and immediately understood what the captain meant. He quickly took out two strings of copper coins from his arms and handed them to the captain.

The Wu leader shook the money in his hand and walked to the old man: "Come on, old man, take it and buy some more delicious food for your granddaughter, and also repair the house at home."

After saying that, he put the money in the old man's hand, turned around and left. Before leaving, he touched the little girl's head with a smile. The little girl stared at these fierce-looking uncles with big eyes, but she didn't feel scared at all.

.

"Captain, please stop laughing. You might scare other children if you turn around." Xiao Liuzi's mocking voice sounded again.

This time the corps commander did not refute, but instead sighed: "Oh, for some reason, when I saw her, I thought of my little daughter at home, who was caught in the flames of war, how pitiful she is."

"It's okay, Commander, General Youchen. Now the family is living in peace." Xiao Liuzi looked calm and comforted the Commander.

After several people went out, they closed the courtyard door tightly again to prevent anyone from sneaking in.

Looking at the backs of the soldiers who left and the door that had been secured again, the old man's wrinkled face suddenly burst into tears. He picked up a few strings of copper coins on the table with trembling hands and held them tightly in his arms.
