Chapter 2853: Mutation, dodged a disaster
Chapter 2853: Mutation, escaped disaster
Mrs. Ye's eyes were red and she choked with sobs: "Don't worry, sir, I know what to do and I won't come back to die."
They have a tacit understanding between husband and wife. If there is a war and Magistrate Ye is trapped, Mrs. Ye does not need to rescue him, she can just take her family and escape.
Zhifu Ye was very pleased and whispered: "If something happens, remember to add a sentence in the letter, beware of Rui Xiong."
Then he looked at his second son and gave him a small token: "What Liu Hou gave him can mobilize all the troops and horses in the Northeast. After leaving, go to other cities in the Northeast to mobilize some troops and horses... If Yangji Mansion is trapped, rescue them." There was no hope, so we gathered all our soldiers and horses in Jiqing Mansion and managed to hold Jiqing Mansion."
this?
After hearing this, Second Young Master Ye only found it funny: "Dad, Lieutenant General Xiao Lu is right. Are you thinking too much? Not to this extent, right?"
and…
"Using Liu Hou's order to mobilize troops when there is no war is a violation of military law. If the court pursues it, not only will you be severely punished, but our whole family will suffer."
The family finally managed to get a Conglong Gong. After two more years, when the David Dynasty is stable and the new prefect comes to take over the Yangji Mansion, his father will be promoted to the capital. Not to mention the elder, he will definitely be a minister of the six departments. If you can get it, you don't have to take the risk of deploying troops and ruining your own future just because of a panic.
"You bastard, if you don't dare to go, just bring me the token. I'll mobilize the troops myself. If something happens, your father and I will take care of it, so you won't be hurt." Mrs. Ye scolded Young Master Ye, and then said: " Dad You has worked with Liu Hou all his life. He knows in his heart whether something might happen. Let’s listen to him and take precautions. Otherwise, if something happens, all the people of Yangji Mansion will die! All the people in this city will die. Compared with life and punishment, I naturally choose punishment!"
The second young master Ye said hurriedly: "Mom, my son is just talking. He doesn't believe me... I will go to Jiqing Mansion to ask for help. If I am really punished by the court, my son will come to receive the punishment. I will not let my father lose his official position."
Having said that, he put the token away.
"Okay, you have grown a lot since your eldest brother came to Beijing." Magistrate Ye was very pleased and gave them another reason to leave the city: "Madam, I will tell the outside world that you are going out of the city to pay homage to your father-in-law and mother-in-law. And this matter was settled early in the morning by asking an expert to settle the matter. If outsiders ask about you, you and your three uncles can just say the same thing, lest you leave the city in a hurry and arouse people's suspicion."
"Okay, I know how to do it. Don't worry, sir." Mrs. Ye held Magistrate Ye's hand and said, "Master, please be well."
After saying that, he took the second young master Ye away without saying anything more to prepare for leaving the city.
Mrs. Ye's three brothers soon received the news that they were leaving the city to offer sacrifices. Without asking any questions, they immediately took the whole family with them in a carriage and left the city with paper money and other sacrifice items.
“Why is this magistrate Ye’s family leaving the city at this time?”
"The middle of the month is the joint burial day of Mrs. Ye's parents. The Wu family goes to pay homage every year. I heard that Magistrate Ye is going to be promoted to Beijing and may never come back, so this year it will be very grand. Prepare to leave the city at this time. , so that you won’t be too hasty when worshiping.”
"I see."
Zhifu Ye has been in Yangji Prefecture for many years. As soon as the news was released, many people believed it.
But the mountain ghost army in the government office still has doubts...
“Qianhu, could it be that the man named Ye discovered something?”
Otherwise, the Ye family and the Wu family would have left the city as soon as they arrived. What a coincidence!
Shangui Jun Qianhu said: "It's impossible, we are genuine, he can't find it, unless he suspects it early..."
Rui Xiong!
but…
He took a bite of the meat buns sent from the government office's kitchen, chewed them twice, and said, "Whether it's a coincidence or not, this matter must be reported... Send a letter."
“Hey.” Two scouts from the Mountain Ghost Army hurried to do it, and soon used birds to deliver the message to the hidden pile outside the city.
After receiving the letter, Anzhuang immediately sent people to keep an eye on Mrs. Ye and her party, and also sent people into the valley to deliver the letter to Yiwei and the others. When Yiwei received the news, he did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly reported it to the young master of Shangui Army.
"As expected of the old fox who has been entrenched in Yangji Mansion for many years, he has sensed danger so quickly. It just so happens that I don't want to wait any longer." The young master of the Shangui Army took the letter to Ping Nantian and the others and said, "Attack the city in advance and take Yangji first." Let’s talk about it after Ji Mansion takes over.”
Young Prince Zhou was the first to agree, and said viciously: "The Wei family has occupied our Da Yinzhou and Jingchuan Prefecture for four years and harmed countless people. It's time for the Wei family to pay the price!"
Ping Nantian did not object: "Okay, attack the city in advance!"
Little Prince Zhou was very happy: "Thank you, General Ping."
Then he said to the young master of the Shangui Army: "The Wei family's success depends on the Liu family and the Ye family helping them stabilize the Northeast. The Liu and Ye families have committed serious crimes and cannot let go of the Ye family. They have to attack Zhuangzi and kill them." Get the Ye family’s flag for sacrifice!”
The young master of the Shangui Army agreed and said to the person who came to deliver the message: "Lead a hundred soldiers and horses to attack Zhuangzi. Capture alive if you can, and kill if you can't. But the most important thing is to cut off the road from Yangji Mansion to Jiqing Mansion. Make sure the Ye and Wu families don’t send any letters asking for help... go ahead and do it.”
“Yes.” An Zhuang took the order and left, rushing to Yejiazhuangzi.
The young master of the Shangui Army, Ping Nantian and others are preparing to attack Yangji Mansion.
…
Second Master Ye stayed one night in Zhuangzi, and the next day he led a team of guards and rode to Jiqing Mansion, preparing to find the guard general of Jiqing Mansion to mobilize troops.
However, while we were on our way...
Swish swish!
Swish swish!
A hail of arrows shot out from the woods on both sides of the official road, directly shooting the guards running on the side into sieves.
Bang, bang, bang!
The nurses fell to the ground, were trampled by the horses, and soon lost their breath.
"There is an ambush, protect the second young master!" The master guarding the courtyard was very skilled. He rolled off his horse in advance. After avoiding the arrows, he raised the cane shield, jumped forward, and jumped on the second young master Ye's horse. He kicked the horse in the belly, causing the horse to feel pain. It ran forward wildly and shouted to the nurses behind it: "Hold them!"
Sharp arrows turn into rain. Even if three arrows are fired at once, it can be estimated that there are many people in ambush, several times their number. It is impossible to fight head on. We can only sacrifice some guards to buy time for the second young master to escape.
"Yes!" the guards responded and hurriedly stopped the charging mountain ghost army.
But they were no match for the Mountain Ghost Army. After several waves of arrows, the guards died cleanly.
"Hahaha, you are a bunch of trash, you still learn to be a guardian? Do you have the ability to protect people?" The mountain ghost army laughed and followed the leader Qianhu to pursue the second young master Ye.
Young Master Ye looked back, his face turned pale with fright, and he made a decision in a blink of an eye: "Run to Jiqing Mansion for help, hurry~"
After saying that, he jumped off his horse and rushed towards the woods beside the official road.
The master guarding the courtyard understood what Young Master Ye meant and rode his horse to the mountains on the other side.
When the Mountain Ghost Army saw this, they gritted their teeth angrily: "Split up and chase!"
The soldiers were divided into two groups to chase the master of the Ye family's nursing home and the second young master Ye.
Second Young Master Ye couldn't escape at all. In just over two quarters of an hour, he was surrounded by the Mountain Ghost Army.
