The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

In the procession of carriages, the front row was filled with the Marquis's wife and Song Zhirou, followed by people from the second and third wives, both of whom had children.

Zhao Rong had his own carriage, which contained many valuables.

Now the Marquis's convoy is being dragged along by the common people, which is indeed not safe.

During wars, not all of these refugees were good people. It was very likely that they turned into thieves and began to rob the rich.

Song Zhirou looked outside the car and said, "Aunt, we are going too slowly now. At this speed, we will be easily caught up by the Hu people's team."

The Marquis's wife was also worried, "As long as the Hu people don't come, we will be safe!"

Mrs. Hou was also unsure. She did not expect that the Hu people were not joking this time and really wanted to go to war with the Shang Dynasty.

The Marquis' wife once heard from the Marquis of Zhenbei that the imperial court had delayed providing military pay and food to the north in recent years, almost leaving the Zhenbei Army to fend for themselves.

If the Marquis of Zhenbei had not classified civilians as military households in recent years, the army would have been cut off from food and fodder long ago.

The people's identities have changed, and they are not without complaints, but what can they do?

They were harassed by the Hu people on the border all year round. Even if they were not military households, they could have died at any time.

Comparing the two, it is safer to become a military household, at least they are protected by the army.

Suddenly, the carriage shook and started to speed up. Song Zhirou shouted, "Aunt!"

Madam Hou held onto the carriage, "Zhirou, hold on!"

Unexpectedly, the carriage was running very fast and threw Song Zhirou out in an instant, "Aunt, save me!"

Song Zhirou fell to the ground and only then could she see clearly what was happening outside.

It turned out that a group of Hu people were chasing them.

They rushed towards the Han people quickly.

Many refugees, seeing the Hu people coming, fled in all directions.

Of course, there were also some people who took advantage of the situation and, relying on their youth and strength, set their sights on these luxurious carriages.

So, everything became chaotic all of a sudden.

The soldiers led by General Hu could only resist hastily, but there were both Hu people and civilians, and the scene was in chaos.

Song Zhirou fell to the ground, and just when she was about to ask for help, a carriage rushed over, "Cousin, hurry up and hold my hand."

Song Zhirou saw that it was Zhao Rong and said, "Cousin, you have to save me."

Zhao Rong sat on the shaft of the cart, stretched out his hand, and pulled Song Zhirou up.

Although Zhao Rong is only 15 years old, he was born in the north and is already very tall and strong.

Song Zhirou sat on the shaft of the cart, her heart still pounding, "Thank you, cousin."

Zhao Rong was driving a horse-drawn carriage, but the driver had fallen off. There were pursuers behind him, so Zhao Rong had to drive the carriage himself.

"Cousin, please get into the carriage."

Song Zhirou didn't hesitate, "Okay!"

The carriage moved forward and encountered several overturned carriages.

Zhao Rong saw the second family falling down and shouted, "Second uncle, second aunt!"

Seeing this, Zhao Nanyan shouted, "Rong'er, Rong'er!"

The second wife's daughter Zhao Qing and son Zhao Yi also shouted, "Third brother, third brother, save me!"

Zhao Rong had no choice but to jump off the carriage and go to rescue people.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Hu people who were chasing behind also rushed over.

Song Zhirou was in the carriage. She wanted to tell Zhao Rong not to bother with the second house, but Zhao Rong jumped down directly.

Song Zhirou was in the carriage. When she saw the Hu people rushing towards her, she hardened her heart, picked up the whip and poked the horse's butt.

The horse pulling the cart felt pain and rushed out quickly.

Zhao Rong: “…”

Zhao Rong watched the carriage leave coldly.

He just saw the whip moving, but without anyone controlling it, the whip wouldn't move. It could only have been done by his cousin in the car.

He closed his eyes, still unable to believe it.

In order to save her own life, my cousin abandoned him.

When Zhao Nanyan saw the carriage running away and his nephew still standing there in a daze, he immediately grabbed him and said, "Rong'er, let's run!"

After saying that, he pulled Zhao Rong with one hand and Zhao Yi with the other and ran quickly.

Second Madam Han Lingyan dragged Zhao Qing behind her, cursing, "Damn you beast, running away at this time."

Zhao Nanyan shouted, "You also know that it is a beast. Can it understand human language? If there is someone in the car, they can still control it."

Zhao Nanyan didn't know that Song Zhirou was sitting in the carriage.

Zhao Rongmu just let Zhao Nanyan pull him to run, but he felt very shocked.

The main reason was that he didn't expect Song Zhirou to do this. The cousin he had liked for so many years turned out to be such a person.

Zhao Rong felt extremely distressed.

The Hu people came and scattered the fleeing people and the marquis's convoy.

Fortunately, Hu Wanchou was not a good-for-nothing, but still had some skills, so most of the people in the Marquis' Mansion were saved.

When the final headcount was taken, it was discovered that apart from the second house family and Zhao Rong and other masters, only a few maids were missing.

When Madam Hou heard that Zhao Rong was missing, she immediately ordered, "We must find Rong'er. We must find him."

Hu Wanchou shook his head, "Madam Hou, our top priority now is to run away. We finally got rid of the Hu people. If we go back to look for them now, we won't be able to escape."

Madam Hou refused to give in, "We must find the third brother."

Song Zhirou grabbed Madam Hou's hand and said, "Aunt, there are too many people fleeing now, and the Hu people are chasing them relentlessly. It is really not appropriate to go back to look for them."

Madam Hou was not satisfied, "Rou'er, are you just going to give up on your cousin like that?"

Song Zhirou shook her head, "Aunt, our team will go first, and let Captain Hu leave two people to look for the person. We can't all stop."

At this time, the third wife also advised: "Yes, sister-in-law, what the cousin said is right. We can't help if so many people stay. Besides, the third child looks blessed and will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. Let's run now."

The Marquis's wife also knew that leaving first was the right thing to do, but she was a little unwilling because her son was lost.

Hu Wanchou listened attentively to the noise in the distance, "Madam Hou, get on the carriage quickly, the enemy is catching up."

Now the marquis's wife stopped making a fuss about looking for someone and got into the carriage swiftly.

In this way, the soldiers escorted the convoy forward quickly.

Yanbei City.

Qin Wan was building a wall. The mansion was so big that it would definitely be occupied by the people or soldiers of the Hu people, but she didn't want to move yet.

Fortunately, the marquis' mansion covers a large area, and her Cuiyuxuan is located in the northwest corner of the mansion, the most dilapidated place in the corner. The four directions of the courtyard are surrounded by alleys on one side, courtyard walls on two sides, and only one side is the gate.

Qin Wan blocked the wall of the gate without hesitation.

In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, she kept the gate and did not tear it down. Instead, she expanded it outwards and rebuilt a wall with bricks of the same color.

When you look at the Marquis's mansion like this, you can't tell that there is a courtyard hidden inside.
