She hurriedly put on her clothes and ran out without even having time to comb her hair, but it was still too late. Bai Yuan had already left for a while. Ai Xi stood with disheveled hair at the gate of the White Mansion. Lu Ange, who rushed over, held her shoulders and said, "What's wrong?"

Essie lowered her head and said, "I didn't have time to send dad off."

Lu Ange was silent for a moment and advised: "It's okay. If you have anything to say, wait until the commander comes back to tell you."

Ai Xi glanced at Lu Ange, wondering if this was what he said sincerely. What he said to Luan Hong that day always worried Ai Qian. Ai Qian looked at Lu Ange and wanted to ask him what he said that day.

Lu Ange looked into Ai Xi's eyes and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Ai Xi looked at Lu Ange's beautiful chin and said, "Have you met Luan Hong recently?"

Lu Ange: "Why do you ask this?"

Ai Qian said: "I went to the street with Xiaoxing yesterday and saw you two going to a Western restaurant together. What did you say?"

Lu Ange's face looked unnatural for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Are you jealous again? I didn't say anything. Luan Hong is leaving here, so he asked me out to say goodbye."

"That's right..." Lu Ange didn't tell the truth, and Ai Xi suddenly became afraid. If he really likes himself now and thinks about himself wholeheartedly, there is no need to lie to himself. But he lied to himself, which means that he and Luan Hong are discussing something that cannot be told to him.

Ai Xi didn't speak, and Lu Ange said, "What's wrong with you? You look so ugly."

Elsie said: "I'm worried about dad."

"Don't worry." Lu Ange helped Ai Qian walk back, "I will tell you as soon as there is news about the commander in the future, so don't worry."

Essie looked into his eyes and said, "You must tell me as soon as possible."

"Yeah, I promise."

Lu Ange sent Elsie back to her room, holding a comb and saying, "You are so sloppy, you ran out without combing your hair."

Essie looked at herself in the mirror and said absently, "I haven't washed up yet."

Xiaoxing covered her face...

In the following days, there were battle reports from the front line every day. Ai Xi knew that the situation on the front line had finally stabilized after Bai Yuan left. This is reflected in all aspects. Even the president of Citibank is not in a hurry to leave, and the bank's windows are also open. The situation seems to be improving, and some people who are preparing to sell off their belongings and leave are starting to wait and see.

Ai Qian still did not stop selling off her jewelry, and she did not do so because she heard the conversation between Lu Ange and Luan Hong. But the situation is like this. The war of resistance has not started in an all-round way. To be honest, this is not a battle that Bai Yuan can win.

She felt that she was a bit self-inflicted. She couldn't write anything well but she chose to write about this kind of background. In this era, no one can be alone. It is not easy for everyone. She, the commander's daughter, lived in trepidation, let alone ordinary people who couldn't do anything.

A month later, news of the first major defeat came from the front line. In fact, they had never won much before, but the losses were all small-scale, so the situation was not bad. However, this defeat pushed the entire front a lot further inland.

There was chaos outside again, not to mention signs of chaos outside the White House. That day, Ai Xi witnessed Luan Hong and Lu Ange having a big fight in the front yard. Luan Hong gave Ai Qi a deep look as she left. Ai Xi asked Lu Ange, "What are you arguing about?"

Lu Ange has lost a lot of weight recently. He twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a gentle tone: "It's nothing. You can go back and rest."

Ai Xi said: "Did something happen on the front line?"

"We lost the battle on the front line." Lu Ange smiled reassuringly: "But the commander is fine. Didn't you say that as long as there is a war, there will be winners and losers? It's nothing."

Ai Xi still had the last batch of jewelry to sell. She took Xiaoxing out and was shocked by the chaos on the street as soon as she went out. The streets are full of people with their families, dragging suitcases and luggage. Those who can take a car take a car, and those who cannot take a car run on the road.

Elsie went to Citibank. The door of the bank was full of people, and proofs were hung on the door.

Elsie thought for a while and went to the back door. The back door of the bank was also closed, but she knew that a man who worked in the bank lived on the street behind. Sure enough, when she got to the street behind, she happened to see the man moving things.

Ai Xi walked over and said, "Mr. Chen."

As soon as Mr. Chen saw Ai Xi, he said, "Miss Bai, why are you here?"

Ai Xi said: "What's going on on the street?"

Mr. Chen said: "You don't know yet? This place is about to fall. Our president left yesterday. You should prepare to leave quickly."

"The front line just fought a losing battle. It has not completely failed. Why do you say this place is going to fall?"

Mr. Chen pointed in the direction outside the city and said: "There is only one army on the front line. After the news of the defeat came, the defenders here were not prepared to go to the front line to support them. Go to the south gate and take a look. The defenders there are preparing to withdraw. Well, even the army has left, why are we still here?"

is this real? Why didn't Lu Ange tell him?

Elsie called a rickshaw and went to the south of the city, where she saw groups of troops retreating. Ai Xi's heart sank to the bottom. Xiao Xing didn't understand anything, but she also knew that something big had happened. She shrank next to Essie and said, "Miss, what's going on?"

Essie thought for a moment and said, "Go buy some clothes."

Xiaoxing said: "What clothes are you buying at this time, young lady?"

"Go if I tell you to go. Buy some small-sized men's clothes, shabby ones. When you wear them, you will look like a poor man." Aisie pushed Xiaoxing, "Go quickly!"

Xiaoxing left in a daze, and Ai Xi returned to Bai Mansion. Lu Ange found her immediately, "Where have you been?"

Aisie said: "I'll just go for a walk on the street."

"You... it's not peaceful outside recently, you'd better not go out." Lu Ange said: "If you insist on going out, just tell me and I will accompany you."

Seeing that the worry in Lu Ange's eyes didn't seem to be fake, Ai Xi asked, "Do you know about the evacuation of the defenders? My father is still on the front line, why don't you go to support him?"

Lu Ange was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly: "This is very complicated. I..."

"Are those revolutionary party members unwilling to support?" Essie said: "I know that my father has just returned from fighting in the south, and the army has not been completely reorganized. There are many people from other warlords inside, and some are not of the same mind as my father. revolutionary party members. Are they unwilling to support?"

Lu Ange didn't expect Ai Xi to know so clearly. He had to tell the truth, "It's true. Luan Hong is actually a revolutionary party. She came today to persuade me to evacuate with them. I didn't agree, so I fought with her." There was a fight.”

Essie thought for a moment and said, "Then do you still have a way to get them to go to the front line to support us?"

Lu Ange was silent for a while, then shook his head.

Essie added: "Then how many more troops can you deploy?"

"Very few." Lu Ange said: "Most of the troops that the commander took away were his direct troops. The ones left here are basically those who were recruited later. I can't command them."

"Oh." Ai Xi probably understood what was going on. It was all because this war was too sudden. If Bai Yuan had been given more time to prepare and not be so hasty, the situation would at least be much better than now.

Lu Ange was afraid of Elsie's random thoughts, so he grabbed Elsie's hand and said, "Don't worry too much, as you said, no matter what the situation is, there will always be someone to protect the commander and retreat. You really need to be prepared now. "

Essie looked up, "What preparations?"

"Prepare to evacuate with me." Lu Ange said: "The people I have now are simply not enough to go to the front line to support you. These are all left by the commander to protect you from leaving safely. This is the preparation that the commander has made long ago. You have to listen Do you know what the commander said?”

"Oh." Essie nodded and said, "I understand."

She turned around and walked toward her yard. After walking for a while, she turned and looked back. Lu Ange was still standing there looking at her, and she couldn't see clearly the expression on Lu Ange's face. She liked Lu Ange, he was the protagonist in her novel, and she spent too much energy on him. But she couldn't believe Lu Ange because she knew Lu Ange so well.

Xiaoxing came back after buying a large bag of clothes, and happened to meet Lu Ange on the way back. Lu Ange asked curiously: "What is this big bag of yours?"

Xiaoxing blurted out: "It's clothes."

"Clothes? Did the lady ask you to buy them?" Lu Ange reached out to take them over and looked at them, "Why did you buy so many clothes?"

Although Xiaoxing didn't understand anything, she also knew that the young lady didn't want her uncle to know about it, so she said, "Oh, I bought it myself. It's been very chaotic outside these two days, and many shops are closed, so I just wanted to buy more." Save the clothes, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t buy them for a while.”

"Oh." Lu Ange said, "I bought them all for you? Does your lady want to buy two of them too?"

"Young lady also has it." Xiaoxing said, "The money given by the lady was used to buy it for the two of us."

After Xiaoxing came back, Ai Xi took the clothes and asked Xiaoxing, "Did anyone notice you buying these clothes?"

"My uncle knows."

Before Ai Qian could get angry, Xiao Xing said, "But I said this is to store clothes. I don't know what kind of clothes are inside."

"That's good." Essie took out all the clothes and was very satisfied after taking a look. Sure enough, they were all very shabby clothes.

Xiaoxing said: "Miss, what do you want these clothes for? Are you going to sneak out?"

Ai Qian put her clothes away and said to Xiao Xing, "You have to help me."

Little Yes, I’ll take this myself. Anyway, it’s better to prepare it for me. I want to leave as soon as possible.”

"Where are you going, miss?" Xiaoxing said with tears in her eyes, "I'll go with you."

Ai Qian patted Xiaoxing's shoulder and said, "You won't go. If you go, it will drag me down. You stay in the Bai Mansion. If Lu Ange wants to retreat, you go with him."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Xiaoxing finally cried, "I want to follow the lady."

Essie threatened her, "Go and get ready, or I will sell you to the lowest brothel!"

There is a pharmacy in Baifu, which has a complete range of medicines. When Ai Xi arrived at the door of the pharmacy, the soldier at the door said, "Why are you here, Miss?"

Ai Xi said: "Oh, I've finished taking the medicine, come and get it."

The soldier asked, "Why did you come to get the medicine in person? Call someone and we will deliver it to you."

Ai Qian smiled and said: "People in the house are often invisible recently. I wanted to send everyone over but they couldn't find anyone, so I just came by myself."

The soldiers also knew that there had been a lot of chaos in the house recently, so they said: "What medicine does the young lady want, we will find it for you."

"No need." Ai Xi said, "I'll get the medicine and come out."

Essie took a medicine box into the pharmacy and looked for some medicine to treat common colds and fevers, focusing on antibiotics such as penicillin. She also took a syringe and some trauma medicine and bandages. She was very nervous when she came out, but luckily nothing was discovered.

Elsie didn't leave that night. It was easiest to be discovered if she left at night. No matter how busy Lu Ange was, he always came to see Elsie every morning and evening. Elsie slept until the next day, when Lu Ange came to have breakfast with her.

Seeing Lu Ange leaving, Xiaoxing said, "Miss, how do you want to leave?"

Aisie said: "You take your things and walk quietly from the back. I'll go from the front door. You go to the store where I bought cosmetics and wait for me."

Little

Essie nodded, "Then follow."

The soldier immediately called a few people to follow Ai Xi, and Ai Qi got on a rickshaw and went to Jia's house. The Jia Mansion is also in chaos now. Bai Xunmei's aunt shouted as soon as she saw Ai Xi, "Xiao Mei, is the situation outside really as serious as the rumors say? Do we have to move away?"

Essie pushed her aunt and said, "Where's my cousin? I have something to do with my cousin."

The aunt wiped away her tears and said, "Your cousin doesn't stand up to anything and is still fooling around with the dancers in the backyard."

"The backyard, right? I'll go find him..."

When Ai Xi found Jia Renlu, he was playing hide and seek with a very charming girl. He heard the footsteps when Essie walked over, hugged Essie's waist and said: "Hey hey hey, little goblin, I've got you, see if I don't make you hey hey..."

Essie looked at him coldly and said, "You want to have sex with me?"

Um? What's wrong with this voice?
