Qi County.
It was a small county located between the mountains.
The location was hidden.
In the smoke-filled Northern Borderline.
It had become a paradise.
There were 800 soldiers guarding the city.
Everyone was ready.
The 3,000 commoners were all terrified and uneasy.
However…
They had never been affected by the barbarians, so they could live and work in peace.
In a courtyard.
An old lady was sitting in the courtyard.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
"Old Madam, are you…thinking about Miss and Young Master again?”
A middle-aged man walked over and spoke in an ancient voice.
This old lady was Lin Qiu and Lin Xi 'er's mother.
When the barbarians went south.
She was arranged to leave the city to hide.
Then, they arrived here.
Qi County was Old Madam Lin's hometown. They had not seen each other for more than thirty years.
He did not expect to return to this place.
However, this place had long changed.
"Sigh!"
"How can I not?"
"Xi 'er got separated from me on the way, and Qiu' er is now stationed in Youzhou City. The barbarians are brutal. I wonder…how are the two of them now?”
The old lady sighed and shook her head.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
"Young Miss and Young Master are both blessed!”
"Moreover, they are all the descendants of the old master. They are very capable. Furen can be at ease!”
" I've already sent people to look for the young miss. Once we find out, we'll bring her back."
The butler quickly comforted her.
In fact, he had already received the news.
The situation in the northern border was in a mess.
Wherever the barbarians passed by, not even a blade of grass grew.
Many commoners had been killed by the barbarians.
Youzhou City acted as the main force, facing the northern border of the desert.
Young Master and Young Miss had probably already…
It had to be said that although they were secluded here, the news was really closed.
If they heard that…
The entire northern border had fallen.
Only Youzhou City was safe and sound.
He would definitely not hide it from them.
"Yesterday, I had a dream. In the dream, Qiu 'er and Xi' er were covered in blood and came crying to me!”
" It's just that I can't hear what they're saying…Old Han, do you think…they've already…"
Even so.
The old lady's tears did not flow down either.
She only looked back and forth in her eyes.
In the end.
Before he finished speaking, the old butler hurriedly said,"Furen, don't let your imagination run wild. What you think in the day will lead to dreams at night!”
"I'll tell you the truth!"
"Eldest Miss, Young Master, and the others are still alive and well!”
"As long as the barbarians are repelled, let them scram back to the grasslands!”
"They will come here personally to welcome you…"
"Ha!"
"Welcome me?"
The old lady smiled, but she was a little bitter.
"Old Han, don't lie to me!”
"I'm not stupid!"
"When I was fifteen and married Lin Hengzhi, I had already expected this day to come!”
" But, I don't regret it!"
"As soldiers of the Great Tang, even if they die on the battlefield, they are sacrificing their lives for the country!”
"I…am very proud!"
"What's there to be sad about…"
As soon as he finished speaking.
The old butler's eyes reddened and he choked, unable to say anything.
"Madam, don't think that way!"
"Young Master and Young Miss, they are both blessed. They won't die so easily!”
"Didn't you say before that the Turkic barbarians didn't have anyone who could kill the young miss, much less a horse that could outrun them?”
"Moreover, there's still Master. His spirit in heaven will definitely protect them!”
"I believe that the crisis of our Great Tang will soon be resolved. At that time…our family will be reunited!”
Hearing this.
The old lady turned around and looked deeply at the butler.
At this moment.
A servant hurried in.
"Old Madam!"
"County Magistrate Yang is outside requesting an audience, saying that he has something important to discuss!”
"County Magistrate Yang?"
The old lady was slightly startled, and her expression gradually became solemn.
"Alright, I'll go over now!"”
Hence, he decided to do it.
Accompanied by the servants and the butler.
The three of them walked toward the front hall of the mansion.
Because she had a noble status and was the wife of the border guard general.
Even the county magistrate respected her.
Not long after.
When the three of them arrived at the front hall.
He saw County Magistrate Yang pacing back and forth restlessly.
"County Magistrate Yang's sudden visit, could it be that…the barbarians are attacking?”the old lady asked.
"Barbarians?"
"No, no, no, Old Madam, you misunderstood!”
"There are no barbarians!"
"But just now, a group of people came from outside the city!”
"A general who claims to be a lieutenant of Ningzhou City has brought thousands of citizens to seek refuge!”
"I…I don't dare to make the decision myself!”
"That's why I came to look for the old madam to discuss this matter!”
"From Ningzhou Province?"
The old lady was slightly startled and frowned.
"Magistrate!"
"Is there still a piece of pure land in the Northern Borderline?”
" No, no more…" County Magistrate Yang shook his head.
"Right now, the northern border is suffering, the barbarians are rampaging, and killing the innocent!”
"How many people's homes have been destroyed, and how many people have lost their homes!”
"As citizens of the Great Tang, we can do whatever we can to contribute!”
"County Magistrate Yang, as the county magistrate!”
"I shouldn't have done it for you, but these commoners…are they innocent?”
"Let them enter the city!"
"All the expenses will be borne by our Lin family!”
"All the food can also be taken out from the Lin family's granary!”
When the old lady finished speaking.
County Magistrate Yang was slightly stunned.
After that.
"With Old Madam's words, I can rest assured!"”
"Um…General Guo, you can come in now!”
Just as he finished speaking.
He heard footsteps coming from outside the front hall.
A burly man.
It was Guo Huai.
He bowed with tears in his eyes.
"Ningzhou's lieutenant, Guo Huai, greets the old madam!”
"Old Furen is generous, and Guo Huai was moved by her words!”
"Guo Huai, on behalf of the people of Shou County, thanks Old Furen!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
He saw Guo Huaishen bow.
The old lady quickly waved her hand and said," General, you don't have to be so polite. We are all citizens of the Great Tang. It's within our power!"”
"Right, I heard from the general that you came from Ningzhou Province?”
"It's not far from Youzhou City. I have something to ask you, general!”
"If Madam has something to say, feel free to say it!"
Guo Huai nodded.
"Do you know if Youzhou City…is still there?”
…
…
Kneel!
