"Close the doors tightly, have everyone ready with hoes and cleavers. The courtyard guards and servants, form into groups of five, each with weapons, patrol along the wall roots and report any situations immediately," instructed Tong Huaqiong.
The city is so chaotic now, it's hard to tell if someone will take advantage of the mess.
A house full of women and children.
We must stay vigilant.
Gu Dashu and Gu Dahuan stood up to allocate and assign personnel after hearing Tong Huaqiong's words. The two divided the courtyard guards and servants into two groups, each brother leading one group, patrolling the courtyard continuously in shifts throughout the night.
Gu Jingzhe put down his book and went out to help his brothers assign personnel.
"Let's also keep the cleavers and sticks within arm's reach."
Tong Huaqiong had everyone gather in the front hall with cleavers and sticks placed nearby for easy access.
Tonight is destined to be sleepless.
