Since the Liang Jun and the Hu people fought, there have been few pedestrians in the streets and alleys. Fortunately, everyone has stocked up the New Year's goods, so there is no need to worry about the problem of food.

    The county governor of Yunzhong County ordered the city to be sealed off, and no one was allowed to enter or leave Yunzhong County, especially the Hu people.

    Meng Guqing sat on the stool with her short legs hanging in the air, holding a piece of white glutinous rice cake while eating, looking at Jiang Wan with watery eyes, "Madam, will my brother be caught by them? stand up?"

    This question, Jiang Wan really can't answer, after all, she doesn't know the transaction between Zhong Lizhao and Su Litan. But from what she knew about Zhong Lizhao, Su Litan should not be in danger.

     

    "No, your brother is going to do important things." Jiang Wan lowered his eyes and touched his soft hair, comforting: "Even if your brother is caught, Madam and The son will also save him."

    Meng Guqing didn't know the identity of her and Zhong Lizhao, and she and Zhong Lizhao were usually referred to as the wife and son.

    "Young Master is a very powerful person!" Meng Guqing was no longer afraid and continued to eat the snacks in his hand.

    Jiang Wan laughed, "Yes, son, he is a very powerful person."

    So even though the Liang army had only 70,000 to 80,000 horses, and the Hu people had 100,000 horses, she still blindly trusted Zhong Lizhao, believing that he would definitely be able to repel the Hu people.

    Her Highness is the most powerful person in the world.

    So even though the people outside were panicked, the people in Jiang's house were still orderly because of her poise, and they were not affected by the outside world at all.

    Jiang Wan is surrounded by the people Zhong Lizhao gave her, Liu Yu and Liu Lan, as well as a guard of nearly a hundred people, not only to protect her safety, but also to provide accurate war news.

    From the 27th of the twelfth lunar month to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Liang Juntong fought with the Hu people seven times, two of which were sneak attacks at night, but they were all guessed by Zhong Lizhao. defense.

    The Hu people did not take advantage of several attacks and sneak attacks, so they stalemate with Liang Jun. On the evening of the 29th, the Hu people retreated ten miles and hung up the flag of a temporary truce.

    "His Royal Highness said that I can't celebrate the New Year with the princess this year, and please don't be angry with the princess. After he repels the barbarians, I will accompany the princess to celebrate the Yuan Festival." Liu Yu presented the letter in his hand to Jiang Wan.

    Jiang Wan opened the letter and read it very quickly, with a look of resentment and embarrassment. "

    There are only a few words in this letter, the handwriting is scribbled, it looks like Zhong Lizhao wrote it hastily.

    In the letter, he also apologized, then explained the recent situation, and finally wrote a sentence at the end: Caige Caixiao, I haven't seen it for a day, it seems like three autumns.

    It was because of this sentence that Jiang Wan was secretly embarrassed in front of Liu Yu. Although she knew that Liu Yu didn't know the content of the letter, she was subconsciously embarrassed and closed the letter immediately.

    I didn't expect that someone as sullen as Zhong Lizhao would even say that he misses himself in the letter.

    Jiang Wan took the rabbit made of Xiao grass that fell out of the envelope, found a wooden box to put the letter in, and walked briskly to the desk without calling Liu Yuyan Mo, after rolling up his sleeves and researching the ink, he drew a little man lying on the table on the rice paper with a pen, with the words: eat, sleep, miss His Highness.

    After writing, she wrapped it in a letter and gave it to Liu Yu, "Take the brand of King Jing's mansion, put a portion of the food made in the kitchen, and send the letter with them."

    The city gate is now blocked, but you can still enter and exit with the jade plaque representing the palace of King Jing.

    There were snowflakes in the sky again, and after sending the letter, Jiang Wan took the maid to the corner of the backyard, folded a few branches from the plum tree that just opened, and went back to the house and inserted it into the jade vase After entering the house, he nestled on the soft slump and learned to cut window grilles with Feng Feng.

    "If there is nothing to do tomorrow morning, why don't the princess write the Spring Festival couplets this year?"

    Jiang Wan shook her head like a rattle, "No."

    Her calligraphy can only be called graceful, and she can read and write normally, but not in couplets.

    "But no one can write except you." Liu Yu answered.

    Jiang Wan asked curiously, "Who wrote the Spring Festival couplets in previous years?"

    "In previous years, His Majesty would bestow handwritten couplets, and our Highness would also write a few of them. But this year is not in Chang'an for Chinese New Year, and His Highness fought in Qin Township and could not return for the time being, leaving only you, Princess, I can write."

    "Okay, let me write it tomorrow." Jiang Wan sighed.

     

    In the evening, Cai Feng brought in the food from outside, and patted the snow on his shoulder: "In such a cold day, the snow is almost a foot deep on the ground, and it will be ready tomorrow. It's New Year's Eve, why isn't this barbarian refusing to retire?"

    Jiang Wan took a sip from the hot tea ceremony, and said slowly: "Let's celebrate the New Year, the Hu people can't be New Year."

    Anyone with discernment can see that the Hu people are trying to harass Liang Jun during the Chinese New Year, reduce their morale, and take the opportunity to defeat Liang Jun and capture Qin Township.

    After a simple dinner, Jiang Wan sat under the window and read a book after washing, Liu Yu stood behind her and wiped her hair, just then there was a sudden noise outside, Yu Qingchong Outside the door, he said in a low voice: "Princess, the barbarians have entered the city, and now they are burning and looting everywhere. You and Liuyu will pack up your things, and your subordinates will take you to hide."

    Jiang Wan stood up abruptly, put down the book in his hand, and asked, "Where did the Hu people come from, didn't the county governor and the soldiers in the city find it?"

     

    There is a continuous mountain range in the south of Yunzhong County. The cliffs behind the mountain are difficult to climb, so there are almost no guards. Unexpectedly, the Hu people climbed up in the middle of the night this time, and quietly slaughtered in the south of the city.

    Their mansion is located at the foot of the mountain, and the barbarians will come quickly at the speed of the barbarians. Although Zhong Lizhao gave her a guard, he is not sure how many barbarians have climbed up the mountain. Qing was afraid that someone would turn into the house and it would be bad for Jiang Wan, so she chose to hide Jiang Wan first.

    Jiang Wan didn't hesitate, went into the room and quickly put on her clothes, put on a cloak and a hood, hugged the heater that Liu Yu stuffed her, and hurriedly followed Yu Qing to the backyard.

    "You hide here first, Liu Yu and Liu Lan will protect you, and go to the front yard to guard against the barbarians from breaking in." The temporary hiding place Yu Qing found for her was a The cellar, in the woodshed in the backyard, is unremarkable.

    "Be careful." Jiang Wan nodded.

    She knows that she hides well, and it is the most important thing not to cause trouble for them. Otherwise, Yu Qing and the guards will be distracted to protect themselves, but they will be afraid.

    The Hu people are very smart, and when the door is closed, there are guards to guard it. Obviously, the house of the general's family passed by in a hurry, and rushed directly into the rich merchants to burn and set fire.

    After setting the fire, they went to the next house, with a clear goal, it seemed that it was just to stir up trouble in the city.

    "How did they sneak into Yunzhong County?" Jiang Wan shrank in the corner, her heart sinking. If you guessed correctly, there is already a group of barbarians waiting at the gate of the city.

    "Go and ask Yu Qing to deliver the letter to the county governor, guard the city gate, we are in the south of the city." She took a deep breath and made a decision.

    Liu Yu immediately understood what she meant and refused: "His Royal Highness left Yu Qing and the others to protect you, Princess. If you let Yu Qing and the others go out, who will protect you?"

    "I just hide, they won't find me." Jiang Wan's attitude is firm.

    She couldn't watch the people in the city being slaughtered, but she didn't care.

     "Since the Hu people secretly climbed up from the back mountain, it means that there are not many of them. Yu Qing's guards are all elites, and it should not be a problem to deal with these Hu people." Jiang Wan calmly analyzed, "Nowadays, there are not many soldiers in the city. If the county governor sends people over, it will give the Hu people an opportunity, so they must ask Yu Qing to stop the group of Hu people."

    "Outside our house is a dead end that can be ambushed very well. You and Yu Qing will go to ambush the barbarians coming down from the mountain later, just stay by my side to protect me."

    "But princess, the task of slaves is to protect you..." Liu Yu hated those barbarians in her heart, and naturally wanted to go out to kill the enemy, but she knew that her most important task was to protect the princess.

    "I'm hiding here and no one will find out. You and Yu Qing only need to fight quickly and wipe out the barbarians." Jiang Wan opened the door of the firewood room and pushed Liu Yu out.

    There was a lot of noise outside, and a large fire was coming from the mountains not far away, almost lighting up the night, and the people around were hurriedly packing their things and running out, there were hurried footsteps and cries everywhere , and the barking of wild dogs.

    "Come on, time is running out." Jiang Wanli urged at the door.

    Liu Yu stomped her feet, turned her head and said to Liu Lan, "You must protect the princess."

    After saying that, she picked up her skirt and rushed to the front yard without looking back.

     

    I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a sound of fighting outside. Jiang Wan knew that this was Yu Qing and the Hu people, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that there are not many Hu people in this group."

    If there are more, the crying in the streets will not disappear.

    Liu Lan also breathed a sigh of relief, ready to help Jiang Wan stand up and move around to prevent her feet from numb.

    At this moment, there was a scream from the Xu family next door, and Mrs. Xu's sharp voice rang out, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

    Immediately there was a burst of crying and a vague question to the Hu people, Madam Xu said loudly: "Jiang family, I only know that the woman from the Jiang family next door is related to King Jing!"

    Jiang Wan's eyelids jumped, and in the bottom of her heart she cursed Mrs. Xu for causing trouble, while trying to figure out how to avoid these hu people.

    "No, Princess, go away!" Liu Lan's ears were good, and when she heard the barbarian ask about Princess Jing's whereabouts.

    Jiang Wan looked back and saw her as she took off her clothes and said in a low voice, "The Hu people somehow know that you have also come to Yunzhong County, and are now looking for you. Yu Qing The adults and Liu Yu are still fighting with the Hu people in front, and they won't be able to come back for a while. You change your clothes to the slaves, and the slaves will go out and lead them away."

     

    "No." Jiang Wan refused without thinking.

    If Liu Lan went out wearing her own clothes and attracted the attention of the Hu people, even if she could protect herself, Liu Lan would be very dangerous.

    "You listened to the servants, the barbarians next door should be trying to capture you and then threaten His Highness, so you must not be captured." Liu Lan grabbed Jiang Wan's hand and whispered softly Said: "The servant is under His Highness's order to protect you, even if it costs your life. Your Highness is now at war with the Hu people, and you don't want him to be distracted, right?"

    "It's too late, Princess, take off your clothes." Liu Lan smiled, "You are a good master, and slaves are not afraid at all."

    Jiang Wan's eyes were sour, she raised her hand and started to take off her clothes, while changing clothes with her, he said, "Be careful. Be sure to come back safely."

    She knows that this is not the time to dawdle, she is now a burden to Liu Yu Liulan and others, and she better obey their arrangements.

    "Okay, my servant promises you." Liu Lan took a deep breath and instructed: "After the servant leads people away, you can find a way to go out and find a place to hide."

    After changing clothes with Jiang Wan, she took out the dagger in her arms and put it in Jiang Wan's hand, looked back at her, and rushed out without looking back.

    Shortly after Liu Lan left, Jiang Wan heard the chaos in the house, a rustling sound came from overhead, a few barbarians were whispering something, and then hurried Went to her house in front.

    There was a scream from the front, and there was a sudden confusion. Jiang Wan took the opportunity to climb out of the cellar, and then turned out from the place where the group of barbarians had turned in just now.

      He looked back and saw that the Hu people in the distance had found him and was chasing after him.

    Jiang Wan secretly said something bad, and quickly jumped off the wall and fell into the snowdrifts on the ground.

    Listening to the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer behind her, she glanced quickly, her eyes lit up when she saw the straw pile beside her, she took off her shoes and threw them at the alley, then quickly Hiding behind a pile of straw.

    The snow tonight is very thick, half of her body is buried in the snow, half of her body is covered by straw. The snow in the back alley was trampled by the group of barbarians, so the barbarians behind them chased after them and saw the pink shoes in front of them, so they chased towards the entrance of the alley.

    Jiang Wan heaved a sigh of relief, lying in the snow without moving, quietly waiting for the second wave of Hu people to run out of the alley before moving. The Hu people will definitely come back if they can't catch him, but there is a dead end behind him, and he can't run at all.

    Just as she was so anxious, her waist was suddenly poked.

    "Madam is that you?" A soft voice came from behind the wall.

    Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, "Meng Guqing?"

    "Well, it's me." Meng Guqing replied, and poked her in the waist again, "Madam, hurry in, so the bad guys can't find you."

    Jiang Wan lowered her head, only to realize that there was a dog hole behind the straw pile, but it was usually blocked and no one found it, and I don't know how Meng Guqing found it.

    She opened the straw, crawled in with her **** pouted, then covered the hole with hay, and then heard Meng Guqing softly say: "Madam, follow me, I will take you to hide."

    Jiang Wan nodded, followed Meng Guqing to the rockery next to him, and hid in a cave on the rockery.

    "How did you find this place?" Jiang Wan hugged Meng Guqing, and the two curled up in the cave.

    "I found it with my brother hide and seek." Meng Guqing rubbed his eyes and yawned.

    "Thank you, you are so smart." Jiang Wan touched his head and tried to wrap her feet in a skirt to relieve the cold on her feet. She was about to throw one shoe out just now, so there was no shoe on one foot, and she could only freeze in this icy world.

    After the few barbarians chased out, they turned back soon after, but now it was the middle of the night. Yu Qing killed a large number of barbarians at the front alley, and was about to take advantage of the victory to chase those barbarians. When the barbarians fled, they heard the guards say that barbarians had entered the house, and the princess was missing.

     

    Yu Qing grabbed her wrist and asked sharply, "Where did they go?"

    The maid hurriedly led the way, Yu Qing hurried to the backyard firewood with the **** long sword, but just collided with the barbarian who returned without success. Yu Qing's expression froze. Seeing that there was no Jiang Wan behind them, he breathed a sigh of relief before waving his hand and leading someone to rush up.

    It happened that the place where the two sides fought was under the rockery. Although Yu Qing brought a lot of people, he was injured in the front just now. In addition, these Hu people were all good at each other. The figure headed The tall man's martial arts are exceptionally powerful, and it is not a problem to have one enemy ten.

    The two sides were at a stalemate. Seeing Yu Qing gradually becoming exhausted, Jiang Wan, who was nestled on the rockery, was in a state of impatience. Just when she was thinking of countermeasures, the stone behind her suddenly loosened and rolled down, and she also Weightless, he hugged Meng Guqing and fell down together.

    "Be careful!" The Hu Ren below was startled and reminded the tall man in the lead.

    "Bang!" The man was entangled with Yu Qing and others. Hearing the voice, he turned back but had no time to avoid it. The stone hit his chest, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

     

    “…”

    The man's eyes went black and he fell to the ground with a bang.

    "Fourth Prince!"

    "Princess!"

    Two voices sounded at the same time, Jiang Wan and Meng Guqing got up from the ground and saw the man under them.

    "Princess, are you all right!" Yu Qing rushed up.

    Those barbarians also wanted to rush up, but they couldn't do anything because they were fighting with the guards.

    "I'm fine..." Jiang Wan got up from the ground, shook her dizzy head, lowered her head and asked Meng Guqing on the ground, "Do you have any pain?"

    Meng Guqing crawled up and answered obediently, "No."

    “…”

    Jiang Wan looked down at the man under him again, and quickly pulled Meng Guqing to climb up and retreated behind Yu Qing.

    I saw that the man had fainted, lying on the ground without knowing his life and death, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood.

    "He seems to be the fourth prince of the Hu people, arrest him and hand him over to His Highness." Jiang Wan coughed, embarrassed.

    If this man died, wouldn't he kill himself?

    "Yes." Yu Qing waved and told the man to be tied up.

    The rest of the Hu people were no match for these guards, and when they saw their master being arrested, they showed their flaws in a hurry, and they were subdued by the guards in a short time.

    Seeing that they were all caught, Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her palm was aching, and the shoeless foot was stepping on the snow, so cold that she could barely conscious.

    The maid wiped away her tears, took off her shoes and put them on for her, then said with a weeping voice, "The servant will help you go back."

    When she returned to the main house, Jiang Wan realized that her door had been smashed, and there was blood on the door. Being helped in by the maid, the room was in a mess as if someone had turned over.

    "Where are they?" Her heart sank, and she was suddenly a little scared.

    The maid cried: "Sister Caifeng and the others are all injured, and Sister Liuyu has already gone out to find a doctor. It's just that Sister Liulan has led a few barbarians to leave, and now I don't know where to go. ."

    Jiang Wan sat down on the stool with a sigh of relief, turned her head and said to Qing: "Tell someone to find Liu Lan, she is here to help me lure the Hu people away, you can't let her have an accident."

    After saying that, she looked down at Meng Guqing, whose face was dusty and his head a little bit, and asked the maid to take him to bed first.

    When Jiang Wan changed into clean clothes, she asked the maid to help her with medicine, wrapped her palms, and smeared frostbite ointment on her swollen feet due to frostbite, Liu Yu just invited the doctor back.

     

    She woke up as soon as it was dawn and asked Liu Yu about the current situation in the city.

    "The Hu people did attack the city last night. Fortunately, you asked the guard to send a letter to the county guard, but you did not ask the county guard to bring people over, so Yunzhong County was guarded. As for the intrusion in the city The Hu people in the sect have almost been wiped out by Yu Qing, and the rest of the fish that slipped through the net just need to ask the county guard to lead people to search from house to house." Liu Yu showed a smile.

    "That's good." Jiang Wan's spirits are low, her head is dizzy, and she feels like she has a fever.

    At this moment, the system prompt sounded again, the screen flickered a few times, and a line of words slowly appeared:

     

    1. In a place with primroses, say to your husband: Brother Zhongli, do you want to play in the wild?

    2. Leave immediately. 】
