With Meng Han's advance 'warning', most people in the Meng family's escort agency were quite skilled.
The mountain bandits gained no advantage against them.
Moreover, with the prior preparations of Meng Pei and Uncle Meng, the skilled members of the Meng family were outside resisting, while Meng Qi quickly organized the elderly, women, and children in the family to hide in the hidden chamber as soon as possible.
Everyone then realized that the Meng family actually had such a concealed place, with water and food in the chamber, making it very safe.
Meng Pei and Uncle Meng were the last to hold the line, but when they heard the outside screams of fighting and the bright flames, they didn't dare to enter the chamber for a while.
If the Meng family's escort agency were also set on fire, they might all suffocate to death inside the hidden chamber.
