The bailiff of the magistrate's office hurriedly ran into the back hall. He ran so fast that he fell two times and didn't even care that his hat had fallen off. Because he was too afraid, his shouts had changed pitch.
"Panicking, what's wrong with you?"
When old Qin saw how flustered the bailiff was, he scolded him with a black face. The bailiff ignored old Qin's scolding and knelt on the ground, pointing outside the Yamen as he reported in a sobbing tone,
"Elder Qin, things are bad. The barbarians have attacked Jin City, burning, killing, and plundering. They're about to attack the government office.
"What? The barbarians have attacked the city?"
Old Qin was shocked. The people from the Guang and Bai armies had just escorted Bai Yin away, and the city guards had just changed to a new Lieutenant. How did the barbarians attack?
Even if they attacked the city, would the city protection Army be so easily defeated? He didn't even hear the sounds of fighting.
