Yan Ye could imagine how these rich people would think in their hearts.

He just felt that if these refugees hadn't come, this wouldn't have happened.

The moment Xu Yanzhu opened his mouth, Yan Ye understood her meaning. He looked at Xu Yanzhu, and only spoke after pausing for a moment: ”When Ye Shuo and Yanhao return from their search, I will send you two away.”

Almost at the same time Yan Ye finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu looked at him and shook his head.

Before Xu Yanzhu could speak, Empress Dowager Hu, who was sitting at the seat of honor, looked at Yan Ye and said, ”Can we leave the city smoothly? ”Where else can you put us outside the city?”

Once Empress Dowager Hu opened her mouth, Xu Yanzhu didn't know what to say.

She could hear Yan Ye's intentions. He wanted to send them off, but what about himself?

How could Empress Dowager Hu not understand what her grandson meant? However, she had her own thoughts too, as long as Yan Ye sent them out of the city, she would naturally have ways to make it so that he wouldn't be able to come back.

The Elder Sun sat beside them and listened until Empress Dowager Hu spoke. Then he took the initiative and said, ”Others can't, but our Sun family can. However, I don't think we should have too many people leaving together, otherwise it would be too conspicuous. ”

After saying that, the Elder Sun paused for a moment before continuing, ”Didn't you say that Ye Jingde was here as well? If someone leaves the city, will they be targeted? ”

Elder Sun knew about this, and everyone else seated knew as well.

Now that Xu Yanzhu was already eight months pregnant and was about to give birth to a baby, she didn't know whether this plague was real or fake, and she didn't even know when she would be able to suppress it. Her family wasn't at ease at all, allowing her to continue to stay here.

Xu Yanzhu also understood this point, but even if she understood, it did not mean that she could accept this arrangement without worry.

Just as Elder Sun had finished speaking and no one was responding, Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao who had gone out to look for news had returned.

”Almost all the shops in the city were closed, but some of the refugees still continued to rob and rob the shops. ”There are some shops with thick foundations. It's alright to have a lot of shop assistants. However, some shops with small businesses are in trouble this time.”

Just as Ye Shuo finished speaking, he held onto the teacup that Yan Ye had brought over to him to drink, Xu Yanhao who had already finished drinking continued, ”There are indeed many rich families that are thinking of ways to leave the city, it's just that the county magistrate seems to want to order everyone to seal the city, but we are worried that this matter might cause even more chaos and are still hesitating. I have arranged for some of the soldiers with Iron Eagle Brigade to go over and help. They have all experienced life and death situations and are not afraid of these things. ”

”Cousin is right, but I think that the north side of the city will definitely be sealed. It's just that the city won't be safe for a long time. Cousin, do you want to leave the city for a short period of time?”

The moment Ye Shuo finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu looked at him and shook his head. After Ye Shuo understood what he meant, he ignored the look in Yan Ye's eyes and continued to speak: ”Actually, I think it's better for cousin to stay in the city. I keep having the feeling that there's a shadow of Ye Jingde behind this.

When Ye Shuo said this, Xu Yanzhu's eyes lit up.

”Brother Shuo is right, what if you send me out of the city and meet Ye Jingde's men?” Xu Yanzhu was happy in her heart, but she still showed a face full of recognition and worry.

Yan Ye understood Xu Yanzhu, so how could he not understand her thoughts after hearing her words?

Because of Ye Shuo's words and Xu Yanzhu's persistence, it was not good for Yan Ye to insist on sending him off.

Not long after they finished talking about this matter, the Iron Eagle Brigade Soldiers, who were asking for information outside, brought them the latest information.

”I don't know why, but the news came from the camp that the county magistrate was going to bury them alive. Now, all the refugees in the camp have gone crazy. They started rushing out at all costs, and when I came back, there were already some robust refugees heading towards the east city. ”

The news that the Iron Eagle Brigade Soldiers had brought back caused Yan Ye, who was originally thinking of how to send Xu Yanzhu away, to instantly forget about her previous thoughts.

After what had happened, even if Xu Yanzhu agreed, he wouldn't dare send her away.

It was true that he could send people to protect Xu Yanzhu, and it was also true that he could even personally send her out, but there were so many refugees outside that were already crazy, and they were not people that he could control.

Knowing that this matter was urgent, Yan Ye immediately arranged everything.

The guards at home, along with the people Ye Shuo and the others brought over, were quickly put away.

The Elder Sun knew that the matter was serious and did not stay at Yan Ye's home for long. After hearing the news, he left through a small door between the two families and returned home.

After returning home, the Elder Sun made some arrangements, and finally, the two families made their defenses before the refugees arrived.

After knowing that the refugees had already rushed to the east side city, Yan Ye made Xu Yanzhu obediently stay in the backyard, while he himself led a few people to stand on a temporary wooden shelf in the front yard and look outside.

The refugees had no weapons and were carrying stones and tree trunks that they had picked up casually. They were clamoring to charge into the great mansions of the eastern city.

They knew that as long as they could break open one of the big houses in the eastern part of the city, they would be able to live without worry in the future.

Yan Ye looked coldly at the refugees outside, and asked Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao who was beside him: ”Do you guys think that Ye Jingde has something behind this?”

”Definitely!”

Almost at the same time Yan Ye finished speaking, Ye Shuo opened his mouth.

After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing, ”Although these refugees do not seem to be organized, they are still charging towards our two families. Although we are not able to hear what they are saying, they are definitely discussing how to charge into our two families.”

Although Yan Ye's family did not have the arrows or weapons that could only be found in military camps, they did have a lot of sturdy wooden sticks, hoes and machetes that did not belong to the military camp.

Adding on the Iron Eagle Brigade soldiers that Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao had brought with them, they all had weapons, so at this time, they really did not put the group of refugees outside in their eyes.

Even if Ye Jingde's people managed to infiltrate this group of refugees, they had the confidence to stop them.

But just as Yan Ye, Ye Shuo and Xu Yanhao were discussing how to take down all these refugees when they did not break the law, people suddenly threw many oil cans that were already on fire into Yan Ye's backyard.

Almost in an instant, the refugees who were initially wandering around Yan Ye's doorsteps all clamored and rushed towards Yan Ye's home.
