    After hearing what he said, Shi Quan looked down at the city and said, "Then let's help defend the city quickly. Encourage more people to hold on to the city and wait for reinforcements to come to relieve the siege."

    Fang Jinshi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm wondering whether the west city gate is closed and whether I can escape at this time." Shi Quan's first thought was how to defend the city, and what he thought about was how to escape.

    Shi Quan asked in surprise: "Didn't it take a lot of effort to get into the city? When we go out now, there are golden soldiers outside."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I know this, but less than fifteen miles to the west from the West City Gate is Xuanyuan Pass in Yong'an County. That pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You can also take a detour back to Shijiazhuang. If you don't leave now, wait for the gold.  The soldiers attacked the county town of Yanshi, and looking at what they did outside the city, I was afraid that they would massacre the city."

    He didn¡¯t continue talking. Shi Quan¡¯s expression was serious. Fang Jinshi continued: ¡°There are few Jin soldiers at this time and they cannot surround the county town. In any case, we must go to the west gate first.¡±

    Shi Quan had no choice but to disagree with him. The three of them walked from the top of the city to the bottom of the city. Fang Jinshi didn't say much, and briefly told everyone that they should go to the west gate of the city to have a look. The Feng family and the Shi family hurried to the west gate of the city. At this time, the city  The west gate had also been closed a long time ago. Fang Jinshi saw from a distance that the city gate was closed and shouted several times: "Oops, oops."

    He quickly climbed to the top of the city and took a look. Sure enough, there were no golden soldiers under the west gate of the city, because there was a deep ditch very close to the city gate. After exiting the deep ditch, he entered the high mountains. The road was inconvenient, and it was midsummer and the trees were lush.  , Jin Bing may not have noticed that there is a city gate to the west.

    Fang Jinshi couldn't help but go to the city gate to take a look. Seeing him scratching his head and scratching his head anxiously, Shi Quan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Do you really have to leave the city?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "Brother, can't you still see the situation at this time? I saw the Jin soldiers attacking the city when I was in the northwest. Such a city can be captured in just a moment. If you can get out of the city, there is still a glimmer of hope. You can still fight hard.  Just some luck."

    Shi Quan sighed and said, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, everyone wouldn't be in this situation."

    Fang Jinshi said: "What did brother say? Look around. That one is not your family, that one is not your relative. Isn't it too outrageous to say who is to blame?" Feng Bao and Feng Qing also stepped forward.  To comfort him, Feng Wan stood beside Shi Quan although she did not speak.

    Fang Jinshi looked at the sky, gritted his teeth, and said to everyone: "Take out all the money you have." Everyone listened to him and took out all the money and handed it to him. Fang Jinshi wrapped it in cloth and carried it to the city.  At the door, I found an officer who seemed to be the leader. He stepped forward and said, "Master, can you be accommodating? If my family has something urgent and wants to leave the city, can you open the city gate a crack so that I can wait out?"  ?¡±

    The officer looked at him up and down curiously and said: "Nowadays, people outside the city can't even come in, but you want to go out and die. Are you not mentally ill?"

    Fang Jinshi hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master, Master, there are no thieves outside for the time being. I really have a very serious emergency and I have to go out. Please be accommodating." As he spoke, he handed the bag of money to the officer, who opened it.  After looking at it, it turned out to be so much money. At this time, if someone said that someone gave him money and asked him to let people into the city, and someone still believed it, or someone gave him money to go out, he would suspect that there was something wrong with this person.

    Seeing his hesitation, Fang Jinshi said again: "Master Jun, I am a messenger from Kaifeng Mansion. I have an urgent document to be delivered to Bianliang. If it is delivered late, I will not be able to eat and carry it away. Please do it, Master Jun."  It¡¯s convenient.¡±

    When he said this, the officer believed him a little, looked at him again and said: "Hmm Okay, but as promised, if you want to come back after leaving the city, I won't open the door again."

    Fang Jin and Shi Weiwei agreed. He asked the officer to wait, and then returned to Shi Quan and others and said, "The city defenders agreed to let us leave the city. However, it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad to leave the city. No one knows whether it is better to stay or leave the city.  Life is everyone's. The three of us, husband and wife, are going to make a bet. We all decide for ourselves." When he spoke at this time, there was a sense of tragedy. In this situation, it was hard for anyone to say whether he would leave the city or not.  It just depends on luck.

    Shi Quan immediately said: "Don't you just say that we are a family? If we want to go, we will go together. If we want to stay, we will stay together. We will live and die together."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Okay, let's go." He reached out and held Huang Jinmian's hand beside him, and extended his hand to Liang Cuirong. Liang Cuirong walked closer to him and asked him to hold his wrist, and Fang Jinshi held it with one hand.  Holding one, he walked to the city gate with his chest raised and his head raised, and everyone followed him. When the officer saw him coming, he asked the officers and soldiers to open the city gate with sharp swords, disperse the crowd outside the city who could not enter, and make way for them. At this time, outside the city  It wasn't like there were so many people at other city gates, and some people took the opportunity to squeeze in a lot of people.

    As soon as Fang Jinshi and the others left Yanshi County and went down to the deep ditch,Like a rabbit that had escaped from its net, it hurriedly headed towards Xuanyuan Pass. This was a pain for the obese Feng brothers. They complained endlessly along the way. During the journey, they went up ravines, down ravines, and through trees until they reached the foot of the mountain.  It seemed that we could go up the mountain soon. The Feng brothers, including Feng Wan, couldn't walk anymore, so they suggested to stop and rest before going. When Feng Bao heard that he could rest, he immediately fell to the ground with his arms stretched out. Feng Wan saw  He couldn't help but said: "I want you to be immobile all day long and only know how to eat and drink. You are an oil seller, not an oil drinker. You have more oil on your body than a pig."

    Normally everyone would smile knowingly, but no one cared about joking at this time. Although they had been walking for a long time and were a little far away from Yanshi County, the sound of shouting for death could also be heard faintly. Looking from a distance, Yanshi  Smoke has already risen from the division county town, and I think the Jin soldiers may have already begun to attack the city.

    Fang Jinshi felt that he could not stay here for long, so he stood up and said: "Let's go, rush to Xuanyuan Pass and rest again."

    Everyone else was getting up, and Feng Bao lay on the ground and said, "You guys take a step first, and I'll lie down for a while. My back is sore, and I can't get up even if those golden dogs come."

    As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of horse hooves coming from far away, and more than a dozen horses suddenly turned out on the mountain road ahead. They turned out to be more than a dozen golden soldiers holding blades. Fang Jinshi shouted: "Run quickly."

    Everyone quickly turned around and ran towards the mountain. When Feng Bao saw so many golden soldiers suddenly rushing towards him, he no longer cared about his big words. He stood up and ran towards the mountain. This small group of golden soldiers came so fast.  In a blink of an eye, the first rider arrived and Feng Bao followed. The rider on the horse waved a long-handled sword and slashed at Feng Bao while he was on the horse. Fang Jinshi, who wanted to come over to help Feng Bao, saw something was wrong and picked up Feng Bao beside him.  The branch of Baodang's crutch blocked the Jin Bing's sword. The sword came at a very fast speed and cut off the branch in Fang Jinshi's hand. Just to block it, Feng Bao fell down and narrowly dodged it. Fang Jinshi threw it away.  He picked up a tree branch and helped Feng Bao and shouted: "Go quickly." He fled up the mountain without his life.

    Those golden soldiers did not dismount from their horses and chase them up the mountain. They just hurriedly ran along the road. Another horse turned out of the intersection in the direction they came from. This horse was dozens of feet behind them. Each man on the horse was holding a scimitar in each hand.  Shouting: "Stop, there's no way to escape."

    This man turned out to be Gao Chong. His whole body was stained with blood. He was dancing with a Jurchen scimitar that he had snatched from somewhere. He was riding alone and chasing the dozen or so golden soldiers. The dozen or so golden soldiers fled in embarrassment.  , and didn¡¯t even dare to challenge him.

    Fang Jinshi turned his back to the road and just ran for his life. Naturally, he couldn't see Gao Chong, but Shi Quan and others saw it. They shouted together: "Gao Chong, Gao Chong"

    Gao Chong finally heard their shouts, reined in his horse and stopped chasing the golden soldiers. He turned around, jumped off his horse and said to Fang Jinshi with a joyful face: "Didn't you enter the city? Why?  Will you be here?"

    Fang Jinshi gasped: "We came out. How are you? Are you injured?"

    Gao Chong raised his arm and said: "I'm not hurt. I killed several of them. This knife is awkward to use, and the horse is even worse. It's said to be a royal horse. It can't run at all once it goes into battle, and it's impossible to catch up."  Come on." He was still complaining that his horse was not good. Fang Jinshi knew that he was capable, and it was not a good time to talk at this time. Meeting Gao Chong at this time finally made Fang Jinshi feel relieved.

    Gao Chong was unwilling to give up his royal horse, so he could only lead the horse up the mountain, all the way to Xuanyuan Pass. They took the mountain road and took a long detour, and finally reached the foot of Xuanyuan Pass.

    Xuanyuan Pass protects the royal tombs of the Song Dynasty, and it is in a dangerous area, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At this time, the gate is closed to allow people to enter. Fang Jinshi and his party entered Xuanyuan Pass, and then they really felt relieved. When they rested in the pass, there was a wailing in the pass.  Crying, it turned out that the county town of Yanshi fell and was captured by the Jin soldiers. The defenders fled in panic. Most of the people were massacred by the Jin soldiers, and very few escaped.

    Although the Shi family and the Feng family didn't say anything, they felt lucky in their hearts. If Fang Jinshi hadn't made a decisive decision and pulled them out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
