Hearing the sound of the warning drum, the third and fourth masters rushed over.
Even Chen Zhendong was alarmed. He walked over quickly and asked, "What's going on?"
The gatekeeper knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: "A group of officers and soldiers came outside the door. The leader called himself me. It seems that the new emperor of Beichen has come personally to conquer."
Chen Zhendong was extremely surprised. His expression changed quickly and he asked, "How many people are here?"
The guard said: "There are about two thousand people, and they are all elite soldiers."
Chen Zhendong was shocked. There were only about 500 people in Qingfeng Village. How could they resist these two thousand elite soldiers?
But at this time, Han Qiancheng was not here.
He hurriedly walked back and forth in the meeting hall, not knowing what to do for a while.
Sun Yao and Tian Meng didn't know anything about it, so they hurriedly asked: "Where is the leader of the village? Why don't you see him?"
Chen Zhendong frowned and sighed: "Yesterday, his subordinate came to report that Qiancheng had something important to do and asked me to take care of Qingfeng Village."
Tian Meng was startled, and he said a little angrily: "Didn't he capture people from the imperial court as hostages?
We at Qingfeng Village trust him so much, but he ignored us when he became the leader of the village. If I had known that he was so inactive, I might as well have supported my second brother."
"Fourth brother."
Sun Yao scolded him lightly and said, "Now is not the time to talk about this."
He looked at Chen Zhendong and asked, "Brother, please make up your mind."
Chen Zhendong said: "Hold on tight. Qingfeng Village is protected by a moat. No matter how capable they are, they will not be able to invade."
He asked Sun Yao: "How long can the food and grass in our village last?"
Sun Yao replied: "It can last up to half a month."
They all go down the mountain to buy goods every other month. They thought that with the imperial hostage in hand, they would be absolutely safe, but who would have thought that they would be besieged.
Although Qingfeng Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they can survive for half a month, but what about half a month later?
Chen Zhendong said: "If you can defend the city for a day, inform the brothers who are guarding the city and ask them to report at any time."
"yes."
The guard said yes, turned around and retreated, but as soon as he left, someone hurried in and said: "Master, it's not good, the eldest lady...she went to the tower."
Chen Zhendong's expression changed and he scolded: "This is nonsense. Why is she going to the tower?"
The visitor replied: "The eldest lady said she can save our Qingfeng Village."
Chen Zhendong was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out: "Go and have a look."
...
On the tower.
Chen Qingxue stood on it and looked at the people on the other side of the river. She heard that the imperial court sent people to attack and Han Qiancheng's whereabouts were unknown, so she came to take a look.
Since Han Qiancheng took over Qingfeng Village, he has ignored it and now he doesn't know where he has gone.
However, since people from the imperial court came to attack, it means that the hostages captured by Han Qiancheng must have escaped.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a familiar voice: "Ms. Chen."
Chen Qingxue followed the sound and saw Shen Zhixu in the crowd.
