Standing in front of the window, looking at the fire inside and outside the valley, and listening to the faint shouts, Li Xuan's frown never calmed down.
Madam Bai, Dong Yunyun and others on the side also looked worried. Madam Bai wanted to say something several times, but in the end she just sighed and continued to remain silent.
Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er stood aside, glancing at Li Xuan from time to time, then their eyes passed from Li Xuan to Mrs. Bai, and finally glanced at the bandit standing at the door to 'protect' them.
A look of worry and helplessness.
Now Li Xuan knows very well that he is in very danger now. He wants to leave, but Fang Dongquan, Liu Bagou and the others do not allow it, because they need their own sign to raise the banner of rebellion and be satisfied.
They should serve as assistants to the young master and the dream of the founding heroes of the country.
At the same time, the officers and soldiers outside wanted to attack and take their own heads in exchange for glory and wealth.
Even though it's dangerous, all Li Xuan can do now is just wait and see how things develop. In this environment, he personally can't change anything for the time being.
The fire inside and outside the valley lit up all night long, and the shouts outside also rang out all night long. At the darkest hour before dawn, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Li Xuan looked back and saw Liu Bagou and Bai Yunqi opening the door and entering.
At this time, Mrs. Bai took the lead and asked: "How is it outside?"
Liu Bagou showed a respectful expression and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, General Fang has repelled the puppet Ming army!"
At this moment, Mrs. Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good!"
After repelling the officers and soldiers, tonight's difficulty was finally over. At least, they didn't have to worry about the officers and soldiers coming in later.
However, Li Xuan still frowned: "What should we do when the officers and soldiers attack again at dawn?"
Even if the night attack by the officers and soldiers failed, it does not mean that the officers and soldiers will give up. After daybreak, the officers and soldiers will definitely continue to attack by force. Will Fang Donglai's group of bandits be able to block the attack by the officers and soldiers by then?
Li Xuan doesn't know.
But what he understood was that even if Fang Dong came to repel or even wipe out this group of officers and soldiers this time, there would be more officers and soldiers waiting for them.
No dynasty can tolerate someone rebelling under its own eyes, and even proclaiming itself an emperor and establishing such a rebellion!
After hearing Li Xuan's question, Bai Yunqi on the side said: "We have discussed with Master Fang's family that we will evacuate this place immediately after dawn. Then I will take Xuan'er and you guys to leave first.
If Fang heads the family and they are gone, as long as we..."
But before he finished speaking, Liu Bagou frowned, quickly interrupted Bai Yunqi's words, and said seriously: "General Bai, don't forget etiquette and dignity."
Being interrupted by Liu Bagou, Bai Yunqi looked at Li Xuan and Mrs. Bai, then at Liu Bagou, and then said with a look of helplessness on his face: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty, please clean up quickly, wait and see."
Please leave!"
Hearing Bai Yunqi's various titles, Liu Bagou showed a satisfied expression, and then turned around and said to Li Xuan: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will protect Your Majesty to the death. I, the Tang Dynasty, am the chosen one.
Your Majesty is an unprecedented sage king, and this time he will definitely be able to turn danger into safety and revitalize our country, the Tang Dynasty!"
After listening to Liu Bagou's nonsense, Li Xuan was no longer in the mood to refute. He was now more concerned about how to escape and where to escape.
So he said: "Then where shall we go?"
If you want to escape, you must have a destination. You can't just run around in the mountains.
Liu Bagou said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, we are going to Huangzhu Mountain fifty miles away."
Perhaps seeing the obvious questioning look on Li Xuan's face, Liu Bagou continued to explain: "That is another stronghold of General Fang and the others. General Fang and the others settled there in the early years. Although the distance is farther, it is
The place is very secret, and those officers and soldiers will definitely not be able to find it!"
Speaking of this, Liu Bagou obviously became excited again: "Moreover, Huangzhu Mountain is not only high in mountains and densely forested, but also located at the junction of three provinces. It has always been a no-no-no zone, which is conducive to us working hard. By then we will accumulate food and train troops, and the three provinces will
In the next year, we will definitely be able to launch an army to counterattack, and then sweep the world!"
Li Xuan directly ignored Liu Bagou's last sentence. This man was bragging and didn't write a draft. Don't take seriously what he said about sending an army to attack the officers and soldiers in three years and sweeping the world. Otherwise, he will easily be fooled to death.
.
However, if Huangzhushan is a no-no zone, you can be safe for a while, so that you can calmly decide whether to leave or stay.
As for the current situation where he was facing a life and death crisis all the time, he no longer wanted it to happen again.
Since it was midsummer, the sky was getting bright very quickly, so it was still dark for the first half of the day, but after a while it was already getting light.
When the sky lit up, Bai Yunqi and Liu Bagou walked in again.
"Your Majesty, I respectfully request you to move over!" Liu Bagou still acted like a loyal minister in a stereotyped manner, thinking that Li Xuan was a young master like Liu Adou.
Li Xuan ignored him, but looked back at Madam Bai, Dong Yunyun and others, and then said: "Let's go!"
At that moment, I led everyone out. After leaving the door, I found that many people were already heading towards the back mountain outside the door, and there were quite a few of them. There were one or two hundred people in the long queue.
Most of these people were old, weak, women and children, and each of them was carrying or carrying many things. Several children were holding chickens and ducks in their arms.
Seeing them, Li Xuan felt quite complicated, and for a moment he didn't know what to say!
Speaking of which, the reason why they had to flee their homeland was because of their own arrival. If they had not been brought here by Liu Bagou, Fang Donglai and them, thereby attracting officers and soldiers, I am afraid they would not have suffered this disaster.
The men went out to plunder, while the women farmed and weaved, and lived a quiet and leisurely life.
He said lightly: "Let's go too!"
When Liu Bagou and Bai Yunqi took Li Xuan and many old, weak, women and children away from the path in the back mountain, they found themselves at a wooden fence outside the valley.
Fang Dongquan was patrolling with a few bandits.
At this moment, a young bandit who looked to be only in his twenties walked next to Fang Dongquan and said: "The boss, why should we stay and wean him? He is just a boy with no hair. We
Why do you have to sacrifice your life for him?"
"Yes, let's just say we can just hand him over to the officers and soldiers. Maybe we can still receive the reward!"
"I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate to hand them over. It would harm the reputation of our leader for loyalty, but it's okay to drive them away and let them fend for themselves."
After hearing the discussion of his subordinates, Fang Dongquan stopped and snorted coldly: "You know nothing!"
