Most of these people were young and had hardly experienced any war. When they heard a deafening roar from a distance, they were so frightened that they were shaking like chaff.

Nan Yan moved a chair down the corridor and sat there upright.

The dark sky above her head and the dim light in the room behind her made her whole face fall into shadows. She didn't look like a pampered concubine, but more like a god.

She looked down at the servants who were reunited in twos and threes, all of them pale and terrified, like shivering birds under the nest, and a gust of wind would blow them away from nowhere. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but think back to the year when she followed Zhu Feng to Yongzhou for the first time. In fact, she was just like them, and she was so frightened, but she was just a precarious little palace maid.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help sighing.

At this time, Ruo Shui came out of the room, held a bowl of hot tea in his hand and brought it to Nan Yan, and said softly, "Miss, the dew is heavy in the middle of the night, don't catch a cold. Drink something hot."

Nan Yan nodded, and was about to take the tea bowl from her hand when she saw the little maids huddled in the corner chattering—

"Can we survive here?"

"I heard my father say that if the Vietnamese people come in, they will burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil. We gather here, there is nowhere to hide or hide, it's just the meat in their mouths."

"Yeah, as I said, it's better to run."

When the people around listened to the roar in the distance, they were like frightened birds at first, but now hearing them say this, they were even more panicked.

Someone asked, "Where can you go?"

A maid bit her lower lip and said resentfully: "Wherever you go, it's better than staying here and being meat on a knife."

If it was normal, how dare they be so bold, but when people are in an extreme environment, their thinking and actions are very different from their usual cautious appearance, especially when they feel that they are dying in an instant, they suddenly have audacity.

Hearing these people talking louder and louder, and more people were incited by them, Aunt Tongyun who was standing behind Nan Yan immediately stepped forward and said sharply, "You all stay calm and stay here. , at least there are guards outside to protect you. At this time, you run out, aren't you courting death?"

A daring maid raised her head and said to her, "The guards here are not protecting us!"

Hearing this, everyone agreed.

"Yes, the guards here are not to protect us, but to protect others."

"When the Vietnamese come in, no one will take care of our lives."

"Leaving us here, isn't it just to be buried with others!"

Hearing their words becoming more and more presumptuous, Ruo Shui's face sank, and Delu, who was beside him, was also angry, and immediately stepped forward to point at them and scold them.

At this moment, Nan Yan raised his hand and stopped them.

She sat upright, with one hand on her knee and the other on the arm of the chair. She looked majestic and light, as if the fierce battle outside could not affect her. She is by no means.

Seeing her like this, some people who were not very determined in the first place became cautious again.

Nan Yan lowered her head, glanced at the young and childish faces lightly, and said, "Who said you want to go out?"

"..."

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Everyone, look at me, I'll look at you, although you don't dare to take the lead, but when life and death are at stake, you don't care too much.

The daring maid said shiveringly, "Niangniang, we just want a way to survive."

As soon as she opened her mouth, several people around said, "Yes, we will die if we stay here, so let's go out."

"Let us go out, maybe there is still a chance."

"Even if I die, I will go home and die with my parents."

Once someone starts to resist the authority, the people who follow him will become more and more bold, and a few people have even stood up and said, "The imperial concubine is protected here, but we don't."

"We just want to live."

"Yes, we are only here to serve you, not to be buried with you!"

Ruo Shui was furious, pointed at them and said, "Bold! How dare you be rude to the noble concubine!"

Someone was hiding in the corner, and said yin and yang angrily: "If your life is gone, who cares about being polite or not?"

Immediately, it was as if something had been ignited, and everyone's uneasy and restless emotions were ignited like gunpowder. Several people stood up and pointed fingers.

The guards who stayed in the courtyard also felt that the atmosphere was not right at this time. I was afraid that the people outside had not broken in, and the people inside would be in chaos. Internal and external difficulties, I am afraid it will be more troublesome.

So, several guards immediately walked to Nan Yan's side, wanting to let her enter the house to avoid it.

But Nan Yan stood still.

She looked at the person below coldly, without saying a word, but that arrogant and deep gaze was like a sharp sword. When the most powerful person saw her like this, her voice involuntarily lowered, and several people silently lowered their heads.

The voices of the crowd gradually subsided.

Then Nan Yan said lightly: "Do you think that Ben Gong called you together to be buried with Ben Gong? Unfortunately, those buried with Ben Gong must be people of merit, none of you here has such qualifications. "

Everyone was ashamed and angry when she said this.

Nan Yan continued coldly: "You just said it well, the guards here are all left by the emperor to protect this palace. They really don't need to protect you—"

Speaking of this, everyone was eager to move again.

But then, Nan Yan said again: "But Ben Gong called you all here, that is to protect you all under Ben Gong's wings. As long as Ben Gong is still there, the soldiers here will fight with blood for a moment. I can protect you for a moment."

"..."

"But if you leave, who can protect you, you have to find it yourself."

"..."

"Remember, you have to go, you can."

Her hand resting on the armrest of the chair slowly lifted up and grasped the armrest of the chair, her whole body also faintly exuding a chilling air—

"But those who go out can't come back."
