Chapter 218: Birth of a Daughter
In the darkness, under the cover of some slaves, the magistrate of Ruian County rode a fast horse and rushed towards another city gate where a fierce battle was still taking place.
In order to escape Ruian County faster, in addition to gold and silver, the county magistrate even left his concubine in the government office.
He was afraid that those women would hinder his escape speed.
"If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as you have these gold and silver treasures, you can open up the door to Eunuch Liu!"
"There is always a scapegoat!" After making up his mind, the new county magistrate did not want to stay in Ruian County for a while.
Seeing several fast horses rushing out of the city gate at a very fast speed, the sharp-eyed soldiers recognized that the person riding on the horse was the magistrate of Ruian County.
Even the general ran away, and their defense suddenly collapsed.
"The county magistrate has run away, the county master has run away!"
"It's over, it's over!" Those who originally resisted the Japanese slaves and pirates were defeated and ran away.
Suddenly, the whole situation became more chaotic.
And those pirates, who were already arrogant, headed towards the center of Ruian County to kill like crazy.
The Lu family mansion.
Several people from Zhang Cheng gathered some people who were good friends with Huang Tinghui in the Lu family's house.
Relying on the Lu family's residence, the Japanese slave rogues will not be able to attack them for a short period of time.
The wanderers and pirates of the Japanese slave country also know that these big houses are the hardest nut to crack and are also the places with the most wealth.
However, over the years they have been wreaking havoc on the southeastern coast of Dasheng Dynasty, they have naturally plundered many cities.
To deal with such a difficult problem, they naturally knew that they would not be able to solve it in a short while.
Therefore, the pirates, who are cruel by nature, usually raid the surrounding ordinary houses before concentrating their efforts to capture these big houses.
Once these pirates are freed up, they will be protected by Zhang Cheng and others, plus some servants who are not weak in skills.
It's only a matter of time before the palace falls.
Unless reinforcements can arrive, can reinforcements really arrive in a short time?
Since the pirates have been wreaking havoc on the southeastern coast, almost every time, the officers and soldiers have been late to arrive.
Therefore, there is almost no big difference between staying in the house and waiting for death.
"Master Lu, let's stay here!"
"As long as reinforcements come, we still have a glimmer of hope!"
Zhang Cheng held a long knife in his hand, which was covered with blood.
He had a murderous look on his face.
Just now, he had killed two pirates.
"The pirates are so cruel that no grass grows anywhere they go!"
"My Lu family is a big house, they must have been targeting the Lu family for a long time!"
"You will hide with us in the Lu family's mansion, but you will die!"
At this time, the scholar Lu Daoming, who seemed rather pedantic, had an extremely clear mind.
His hands tightly grasped the lady on the other side of the curtain, and across the curtain, Chen Qiuniang roared at the top of her lungs.
She is giving birth!
Even Lu Daoming and Chen Qiuniang did not expect that their child would be born at this critical moment.
"Brother Zhang, you and Tinghui are brothers, and Tinghui and I are also very good friends!"
"I know you always listen to Tinghui, and today I will give instructions to Brother Zhang on behalf of Tinghui!"
"Brother Zhang, there is only one gate in Ruian County that has fallen!"
"My parents, Shen Rou and the others got on the carriage. With the protection of those of you who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they will definitely escape from another city gate!"
"Daoming only asks Brother Zhang to take my parents and escape from Ruian County!"
"That's enough!" After the words fell, Lu Daoming knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng.
"Qiuniang is my married wife. Now that my wife is giving birth, Daoming absolutely cannot abandon my wife or my child!"
"Brother Zhang, please protect them and leave!"
Zhang Cheng knew in his heart that Mr. Chen, who was in the stage of childbirth, had difficulty moving.
It was absolutely impossible for her to move, so he could only ask Zhang Cheng to protect his parents and protect others and leave first.
Hearing Lu Daoming's words, Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth.
"Mr. Lu, Brother Hui and I are close friends of life and death. If Brother Hui knows that Zhang Cheng has abandoned Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu!"
"He is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"How can Zhang Cheng have the dignity to meet Brother Hui?"
Zhang Cheng rejected Lu Daoming's suggestion, but he also knew that now might be the best chance to escape.
After all, these pirates have not completely controlled the entire Ruian County. As long as they act resolutely, they may not be able to break out of the city gate and escape.
Rather than just sitting in this courtyard and waiting to die, that method is much better.
"In this way, I will let my brothers protect them and leave!"
"How about Zhang Cheng accompanying you and your wife here?"
Zhang Cheng was also a decisive person, and he made up his mind immediately.
"Brother Zhang is being dragged down!" Knowing that Zhang Cheng's mind could not be shaken, Lu Daoming could only say to Zhang Cheng.
"In that case, let's get started without further delay!"
"I'll make arrangements here!" After finishing his words, Zhang Cheng turned around and left.
As for Lu Daoming, he held the hand of his wife Chen Qiuniang tightly and listened to Chen Qiuniang's voice.
Lu Daoming was also heartbroken.
"Madam, please bear with me, my husband is with you!"
"Husband, you are not going anywhere, I will protect you!"
"Even if your husband is killed by the swords of those pirates, your husband will not abandon you!"
Holding Chen Qiuniang's hand tightly, Lu Daoming seemed to be unable to hear the sounds of fighting outside.
He just wanted to see his wife's relieved expression and hear the most beautiful cry in the world.
Even if it's just once.
Under Zhang Cheng's arrangement, his brothers and some slaves protected Lu Daoming's parents who were knocked unconscious, and Shen Rou and others got on the carriage.
The door of the Lu family's mansion was opened. Those pirates never expected that this troubled house would actually open the door and rush out in a carriage.
Most of Zhang Cheng's brothers were soldiers. Like Zhang Cheng, they were even from the frontier army.
The fighting power is naturally extremely tough!
The pirate who didn't react for a moment was killed directly.
Under the cover of the powerful border troops, several carriages rushed out at the fastest speed.
Those pirates are all two-legged, so there is no way they can catch up with a carriage pulled by four legs.
They could only look at the carriage and utter the most vicious curses.
"Bagaya Road, Baghya Road!"
"Everyone in this house, no one is left alive, sons and daughters!"
"Do you understand?" The pirate leader yelled, and some pirates began to gather and attack the Lu family mansion.
The sound of fighting sounded again, among the sounds of fighting.
Chen Qiuniang clutched the sheets tightly, accompanied by a loud cry.
Po Wen shouted happily, "It's born, it's born!"
"Mr. Lu, I'm pregnant, my lady is pregnant!"
"It's a daughter, it's a daughter!"
The joy of giving birth to a child is in sharp contrast to the bloody fighting outside.
Lu Daoming held Chen Qiuniang's hand tightly, his eyes becoming firmer.
