Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

You deserve it, Su Bai looked at Liu and thought, you are allowed to play here, Kong Li’s reinforcements have arrived, right?

Alas, I was really confused by Liu Yiyan's nonsense. Kong Li's reinforcements were coming from the west gate, but there was no gunfire over there, so it was obvious that they had not arrived yet.

It must be Gao Hu's platoon that has arrived. This is the last step in Yang Huasen's plan related to the Confucius Mansion.

"How many people?" Liu Yiyan asked.

"I can't see clearly, there are at least dozens of people, maybe one or two hundred!"

"Pa!" Liu Yiyan slapped him in the face: "One moment there are dozens of people, the next moment there are one or two hundred. You might as well fart!"

He waved his arm and said, "Close the door and hold it!" Several soldiers immediately closed the door of Confucius' Mansion and propped it against a piece of wood as thick as a bowl.

Su Bai suspected that this piece of wood was also prepared for them in advance by Kong Dai.

As soon as the door was closed, someone outside shouted, "Listen, everyone inside. Put down your weapons and surrender, and I will spare your life!"

Su Bai recognized it as Gao Hu's voice.

"Damn it, I have 800 people in the city, and you still dare to attack the Confucius Mansion?" Liu Yi turned around and said to a bandit, "Damn it, there are too few of us to enter the Confucius Mansion. Let's retreat from the back door and come back to deal with them later!"

The play was finally over at this point.

"Boom!" There was a loud sound, as if something exploded outside the gate of Confucius Mansion.

Liu Yiyan led his men to run to the back door, and Su Bai also told everyone to hide in the east front yard.

There was a burst of gunfire outside the Confucius Mansion, and with a few loud "bangs", the door was blown open.

Gao Hu rushed in with his soldiers.

This guy acted well. He only chased as far as the Second Hospital and then turned back: "Don't chase anymore, go find the eldest young lady and the others in the Kong Mansion!"

He shouted to several others, "Quick, block the door!"

"Captain Gao, we are here!" the Sixth Aunt shouted.

Now, everyone is involved in the designed plot.

Gao Hu ran in: "Is the eldest young lady okay? Ladies..."

"It's okay, it's okay!" The fifth concubine rushed to answer: "Captain Gao, you're back!"

Gao Hu told everyone that Longxing City had been occupied by the enemy, with at least several hundred people. He asked all the ladies to hide here and not walk around, as they would defend the Confucius Mansion to the death.

"I believe that reinforcements will arrive from Linhua. I hope we can hold out until then!"

After saying that, he ran out of the east front yard.

Everyone came to the east front yard gate and looked into the front yard. Gao Hu's soldiers had already placed the damaged door panels horizontally at the gate of the Confucius Mansion, and moved some beds and tables from the side rooms to block the gate.

By this time, the sky was beginning to brighten.

"Let's hide in the basement!" The fifth concubine had another idea.

The third and sixth concubines responded immediately. They believed that Gao Hu and his dozens of men could not stop the hundreds of people outside, and it would be much safer to hide in the basement than in the east front yard.

The second young lady objected: "If you want to go, you go. There's so much moldy tofu down there. I'd rather be beaten to death by the bandits than be suffocated to death!"

The eldest lady finally spoke slowly: "The bandit leader has already taken the gold bars. He won't embarrass us. I don't think they will come again."

Su Bai immediately said that what the eldest lady said made sense. No matter how many people came with this group of bandits, they were just taking advantage of the shortage of soldiers in Longxing City to launch a sneak attack. They must also know that it won’t be long before reinforcements from Linhua arrive, so how could they have time to return to the Kong Mansion?

It’s too late to escape.

Only then did everyone quiet down.

However, no one was chatting. Everyone was holding their breath and listening to the noise outside.

Faint sounds of gunfire came from the direction of Xishankou, and reinforcements from Linhua arrived.

These ladies actually shouted with joy.

Su Bai's play has not yet finished. Everyone could go back to their own rooms to catch up on their sleep, but they had to stay in this yard with everyone.

After finally hearing the gunshots from the direction of Xishankou disappear, Su Bai immediately said to everyone, "Go back to your rooms and sleep. The gunshots have stopped. I think everything is fine. Come back tomorrow to ask Captain Gao what happened this morning!"

Su Bai said this and walked towards the backyard first.

She walked very fast. After the ambush at Xishankou was over, it was six or seven miles from Xishankou to Longxing City. The battle should start soon at the West Gate. She had to hurry back to the backyard and lie down first. When the gunshots at the West Gate were heard again, she would not get up when those ladies came to find her again. They would just stay in the backyard.

But what Su Bai didn't expect was that until she fell asleep in bed, Ximen's gunshots never rang out.

When Su Bai woke up, it was noon again.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the second lady Kong Yun sitting beside the bed, looking at him and smiling.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Bai sat up.

Kong Yun gave Su Bai a thumbs up.

Su Bai pushed her thumb back: "That scoundrel has taken away two more gold bars!"

There is no need to hide anything from the Second Miss, who is an insider. Whether she thinks this action was unilateral by Liu Yimiao or a conspiracy with Su Bai, there is no need to explain.

Kong Yun pointed outside the door and told Su Bai that the wives of each room were in the yard.

They had been there for a while, but it was the Sixth Aunt who didn't let them disturb Su Bai, saying that Su Bai was not only worried to death, but also scared by these bandits, so she asked her to have a good rest.

Su Bai got up and walked into the yard, and found that these ladies, each sitting on a small stool in the yard, were still recalling the thrilling experience of this morning.

Their maids stood behind them and interjected from time to time.

There are two people who are not in the backyard, one is the eldest daughter and the other is the second wife.

The eldest daughter knew the truth, so naturally she would not be as curious as these ladies and would talk about this matter for a long time.

Second Madam, Su Bai thought, she might have guessed that this group of bandits was in collusion with Su Bai. Second Miss's behavior this morning was not normal, and she did not completely hide her smile. If the Second Madam found out, she would be more certain that this group of bandits was recruited by Su Bai.

However, it doesn't matter if she really thinks so. She also saw Captain Zhao's arrogance yesterday. He lost his life in less than a day. This makes her think twice before threatening Su Bai with impersonating the eldest young lady.

Seeing Su Bai coming out, everyone stood up. The fifth concubine always talked about money. She suggested to Su Bai that since two gold bars were robbed this time, we should save a little on food and drink in the future.

"Don't worry, we will eat whatever we need to eat!" Su Bai asked everyone what was going on outside and whether reinforcements had arrived.

The Sixth Aunt kept shaking her head. She hadn't heard any news and no one dared to go out.

The sporadic gunshots in the city did not disappear until after eight o'clock. Gao Hu's guards were still guarding both sides of the door, and Gao Hu went out to inquire about the news.

"You guys just stay here, I'm going to check out the front yard!"

As soon as Su Bai arrived at the front yard, he saw Gao Hu coming back from outside.

He and Su Bai came to the lobby and told Su Bai the news that something big had happened.

Not only was Linhua lost, but even Tianlong County, which was located on the front line, was lost.

"Kong Li's security division..." Gao Li paused before saying, "I'm afraid they were all wiped out."
