"Xiu'er, hurry up and tell your mother and your second mother to pack up."
Shen Bin gritted his teeth and made a decision after a few seconds of uncertainty, that is, to flee here immediately. After all, if a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, if he stays here, his life may be in danger.
Now the provincial capital may be captured at any time, and the fate of their family may end there.
He has also heard some rumors about the rebel army, that is, burning, killing and looting are all kinds of crimes, and many wealthy businessmen have died because of this. He doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of those people.
If the imperial army guarded the provincial capital, and now his daughter is being targeted by the soldiers, it will be a troublesome thing then.
Therefore, Shen Bin decided to leave this place as soon as possible, because if he stayed, not to mention the loss of money, his life might be lost.
"Father, have you figured it out?"
After Shen Xiuxiu heard Shen Bin's haha, a smile appeared on her pretty face, which was really bright and moving.
"Xiu'er, you are right. Money is something outside of the body. Even if we abandon the money shops in the city, we still have some semicolons in other places. We can always live on. If life is gone, then it is true." There is nothing left." Shen Bin said.
"Go and pack your things, I'll send someone to call your elder brother and second brother back."
After Shen Bin finished speaking, he called two more servants and asked them to notify the two sons who were still guarding the shop to come back.
Although the provincial capital was temporarily held, the streets were crowded with refugees pouring into the city, and the painful cries of wounded soldiers before dying sounded from time to time, filling the provincial capital with an indescribably low atmosphere.
Shen Bin has been in business for many years and has accumulated a lot of wealth. He understands the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit.
In the early years, he ordered people to spend several months digging a tunnel leading directly to the outside of the city in the backyard of his house to prevent accidents.
This tunnel has been abandoned for a long time, and Shen Bin has never walked through it, but he did not expect that now it has become the only way for their family to survive.
After arranging the guards of the shops and houses in various places, he returned to the backyard and took his family into the tunnel quietly.
The inside of the tunnel is dark and dull. Fortunately, when it was built, there were many small ventilation holes connected to the outside, so it would not be so stuffy that you would die inside.
Shen Bin only brought two wives and three children, not even the closest housekeeper.
In these turbulent years, in order to ensure safety, Shen Bin did not trust anyone except his family.
Shen Bin and his family went straight forward in the dark tunnel, passed through the city wall and moat, and then went straight to a village outside the city west.
The authentic exit is in the dry well in a small farmyard in this village. It took them a lot of effort to climb out of the dry well.
Shen Bin and others, who have always paid attention to appearance, walked in the dark tunnel for so long, and they were also in a mess, covered with mud.
However, when Shen Bin was the last one to climb out of the dry well with the rope, a group of ferocious soldiers suddenly rushed into the small farmyard holding torches.
The bright sabers and bayonets glowed coldly under the reflection of the torches. Seeing these soldiers who suddenly surrounded him, Shen Bin's mind went blank, not knowing that there was a problem in that link.
However, Shen Bin's two wives screamed in fright, and his son turned pale with fright. The panicked family was immediately surrounded, and they were nervous and at a loss.
"Master Qianjiang, there is no one in the dry well, but there is a secret passage."
A soldier of the Qinghe Army slid down the dry well along the rope, and climbed out again after confirming that no one was there.
"Who are you? Where does the secret passage lead to?"
Qian Ren Wang Hu held the handle of the knife in his hand, stared at the flustered Shen Bin and others, and asked in a cold voice.
Surrounding this village is the thousand-man team of the ninth battalion, Wang Hu, who is responsible for the blockade. The purpose is to cut off the contact with the provincial capital of the outside world.
Who knew that Shen Bin and the others got out of the tunnel and just ran into the arms of Wang Hu and the others.
"My lord, spare your life, spare your life, I will give you all the money, and please spare the lives of the little old man and his family."
With the help of burning torches, Shen Bin also saw clearly that this group of people was dressed in a mess, and they were not uniformed dynasty soldiers.
Therefore, he guessed that Wang Hu and the others were Qinghe Army, and while secretly scolding himself for being unlucky, he handed over all the gold tickets he carried with him, trying to bribe the thousand general Wang Hu.
Wang Hu took a large stack of gold tickets in the package, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he remained unmoved.
"Say! What are you doing?!"
Wang Hu pulled out his saber suddenly, pointed at Shen Bin and the others who were in a panic, and questioned sharply again.
"My lord, I suspect that they are the spies of the Dynasty Army, why not kill them!" An officer stared at Shen Bin and the others, and said maliciously.
"My lord, our lord, we are not spies of the Wang Dynasty army, I am a businessman, my name is Shen Bin, and the Shen family business is opened by my family"
Although Shen Bin was so frightened that his teeth were chattering when he spoke, he dared not tell the truth in the face of this group of murderous soldiers.
"Then where does this secret passage lead to?" Wang Hu asked coldly.
"If we say so, can you let our family go?"
At this time, Shen Xiuxiu, who had been guarded from behind, spoke.
Seeing this girl who dared to look at him, Wang Hu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect this girl to be quite courageous.
"Our Lord General said that we can't kill innocent people indiscriminately, so you are lucky to meet us. If you meet other people, you may not be able to. So just make it clear now, it doesn't matter if we let you go." Wang Hu said.
After hearing this, Shen Bin and the others felt a little more at ease. What they were most afraid of was that the other party would be unreasonable.
"This secret passage can lead to the capital city"
Although he knew that exposing this secret passage would lead to the fall of the provincial capital, but now in order to save his life, Shen Bin didn't care about anything.
"Is this true?!"
After hearing Shen Bin's words, General Wang Hu was also overjoyed. He didn't expect that this secret passage would lead directly to the city.
"My lord, the little old man dare not hide it."
Little life is in the hands of others, Shen Bin and the others naturally tell the truth.
"Dunzi!"
"The humble job is here!"
"Hurry up and inform the general!"
"No!"
After Wang Hu realized the importance of this secret passage, he immediately called a soldier and asked him to inform Chen Ziang.
Just a moment later, General Chen Ziang arrived at the village surrounded by a large group of hard-wearing soldiers.
Chen Zi'ang observed the tunnel carefully, and asked Shen Bin and others before clapping his hands and laughing.
"It's really hard to find a place to go through the iron shoes. It doesn't take much effort to get here. With this secret passage, the provincial capital is just around the corner!"
Chen Ziang didn't expect that he didn't get the main attack task this time, but he encountered such an unexpected joy.
"My lord, can you let us go?"
Seeing the cheerful Chen Ziang and others, Shen Bin asked timidly in a low voice.
"You can be allowed to leave, but now that there is chaos outside, why not stay in our camp temporarily, and when the fighting is over, I will send someone to send you away."
Chen Ziang was in a good mood, and seeing Shen Bin and others was particularly pleasing to the eye, so considering their safety and confidentiality, he decided to temporarily detain them.
"Wang Hu!"
"The end is here!"
"Send someone to escort Master Shen to the camp to rest."
"No!"
Without waiting for Shen Bin and others to speak, Chen Ziang sent soldiers to send Shen Bin and others to the camp.
"please¡ª¡ª"
As soon as Wang Hu waved his hand, more than a dozen soldiers with cold faces surrounded Shen Bin and others.
"If that's the case, let's bother Mr. General."
Although he was extremely reluctant in his heart, Shen Bin did not dare to disobey the soldiers holding sharp knives around him. With an ugly wry smile on his face, he bowed his hands in thanks.
