The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

After ten days of civil war, the men left behind by the Duke of Zhenguo finally suppressed all the rebels.

The Su family was very happy. Now that the matter was over, Dad Su should be able to go home.

They haven't seen Su's father for almost a month.

Just as everyone was cleaning up the ruins caused by the rebellion in the city, the streets gradually returned to their usual bustle.

Unexpectedly, something happened that made everyone even more panicked.

The Northern Di army of 100,000 had already arrived at the gate of the border town and were clamoring.

In an instant, people in the city were in panic, because the Duke of Zhenguo was the backbone of the border town, but the old emperor called him back to the capital.

Su Weixi only then realized that perhaps it was the heroine, Concubine Wei, who took action.

Taking advantage of the emperor's order to have the Duke of Zhenguo and his son return to the capital, they arranged for people in the military camp to cause civil unrest and spread the rumor that the Duke of Zhenguo was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.

The most fatal thing is collusion with the Northern Di people.

When people in the military camp were at their most restless, the Northern Di officially sent troops to the border town.

Fortunately, although the Duke of Zhenguo was not there, the men he left behind were no pushovers and repelled several attacks from the Northern Di people.

Just as people's hearts were gradually calming down, a rumor suddenly spread in the city.

The general meaning is that the Duke of Zhenguo has colluded with the enemy and committed treason, and has been ordered to be executed in the capital by the emperor.

This rumor quickly spread throughout the city, the countryside and the military camp. Many people believed it to be true, thinking that the Duke of Zhenguo was really dead, and began to move their families away from the border town.

If the city gates had not been closed off, half of the border town would have been empty.

"I heard that many wealthy families in the city have fled. Do you think our master will also leave?"

"You see there's no movement in our house, I guess I won't leave."

"Yes, and besides, our master is in the military camp, and the madam and the others will not leave."

"Then what should we do?"

In a corner under a tree in the garden, several maids gathered together and talked.

Su Weixi was just going to Su Ma's yard to look for her and happened to hear it when she passed by.

When Nanny Sun saw Su Weixi leave without changing her expression, she walked forward with a grim look and went to deal with a few maids.

"Have you finished your work? Why are you gossiping here?" Nanny Sun scolded.

When several maids heard the voice, they turned around and saw the receding backs of Nanny Sun and Su Weixi. Their expressions immediately changed and they all begged for mercy.

"Mammy, we were wrong."

"Mammy, please forgive us. We don't dare to do it again."

"I think you are just bored and have nothing better to do. You dare to talk about the right and wrong of the master's family." Nanny Sun swept her fierce eyes over the maids one by one.

Several maids trembled instantly, as they all knew Nanny Sun's methods.

Su Weixi, who was not far away, naturally also heard Nanny Sun's scolding, but did not react and continued walking forward.

There's not much to say. It's normal for people to feel uneasy in this situation, but someone really needs to keep a tight rein on the family.

After Su Weixi arrived at Su Ma's yard, he told her what had just happened.

In the afternoon, Su Ma asked the housekeeper to call everyone to the yard.

"As you know, the situation is tense now, and many people have left the border town." As soon as Su Ma finished speaking, many people lowered their heads even deeper.

"What I want to tell you is that our family will not leave. If any of you want to leave, come to me and get your indentures. This will also complete our relationship as master and servant."

"Madam, we are not leaving." The butler spoke first.

"Ma'am, I won't leave either."

"Ma'am, we're not leaving either."

More and more people followed suit.

You know, they have never met such a good master, who never beats or scolds the servants, pays them generous wages every month, and the food is good, with a meat dish for every meal.

"Are you sure you don't want to leave?" Su Ma looked at the people below who said they didn't want to leave, but still didn't smile.

"Ma'am, we're not leaving." Everyone responded in unison.

Su Ma smiled when she heard this and announced, "Okay, since no one is leaving, everyone's monthly salary will increase by 30%."

"Thank you, ma'am." Everyone smiled and thanked Su Ma.

Su Ma was very satisfied with the result. Only when everyone is united can there be no major chaos in the mansion.

As for the maids who gossiped this afternoon, Su Ma did not punish them too much.

After all, it's normal to have some concerns at times like this.

The internal problems of the Su family were solved, but the war outside the city was becoming more and more intense day by day.

Both sides won and lost, and many soldiers were killed or injured.

It is said that many doctors in the city were called into the military camp to treat the wounded.

Even though there are weapons of mass destruction like explosives, they are not omnipotent and there are limitations when using them.

After all, the Xiao family army, without the Duke of Zhenguo in charge, no longer has the morale of the past.

On the 15th day of July, the Northern Di launched a massive attack.

Knowing that people in the Da Sheng Dynasty believed in ghosts and gods, they declared that on the day when the gates of hell opened, all the people in the border town would go to hell.

This news quickly spread throughout the city, and many people were very angry.

Many men in the families knew that there was a shortage of manpower on the city wall, so they picked up their kitchen knives and hoes and went to the city wall to provide support.

But they had not received any training, and the city guards dared not let them go to the battlefield, so they asked them to be responsible for carrying the wounded away.

The wealthy families who had not left the city also sent some people to help under the city wall, and many women went to help boil hot water and gold juice.

Many families even sent their own toilets to the foot of the city wall.

Many wealthy families also donated food, because the soldiers had to be well fed so that they would have time to fight.

The Su family also sent a lot of meat buns, which are the most convenient for the soldiers to eat.

Even though everyone is so united in fighting the enemy, the strength of the Northern Di cannot be underestimated.

The battle at the North Gate was so fierce that the gate was already on the verge of collapsing.

Everyone was ready. Once the Northern Di people broke into the city, they were prepared to fight to the death.

Just then, a horse came running with the flag of the Xiao family army.

At the same time, people were shouting: "The Duke of Zhenguo is back!"

"It's the Duke of Zhenguo!"

"The Duke of Zhenguo is back!"

The people shouted loudly with joy.

The noise prompted many households that had their doors tightly closed to open a crack and secretly check what was happening outside.

Behind the messenger, there was the Duke of Zhenguo leading a group of men on horseback, galloping over.

After the Duke of Zhenguo rode to the foot of the city, he wielded his light bow and flew to the top of the city wall.

He picked up the drumstick and started beating the drum, then used his inner strength to issue several commands.

The soldiers fighting outside the city were overjoyed.

"It's the Duke, it's the Duke who's back!"

"Brothers, kill them."

Suddenly, the soldiers seemed to be full of strength again and fought bravely.

After a day and night of bloody fighting, the battle ended with the Duke of Zhenguo beheading the eldest prince of Beidi.

Without their leader, the Northern Di were in disarray and finally called off their troops.

In this battle, the Dasheng Dynasty won!
