The old head of the Yi family was seriously ill recently and could only lie on the bed all day long.
It was approaching early spring, and the sky still felt like a world of ice and snow, so the bedroom of the old family master Yi was still heated.
The two little ladies were taking care of her carefully beside the bed.
Patriarch Yi was also a powerful figure in the battlefield back then. He even fought against the Huangchao rebels during the Huangchao Rebellion. As he got older, he became more and more greedy for beauty.
These two beauties, no matter where they are, are oiran figures who can attract the attention of scholars, but they were only taken into the old man's room and started working as maids.
The commotion outside had already made the two beauties pale, but they could only hear the chaos outside, but no one came in to report what was going on.
At this time, Patriarch Yi was lying on the bed, still in the middle of the lost lake.
Last year, a wandering alchemist passed by Yijiabao. At that time, he happened to meet the master of the Yi family returning from Chang'an City. He happened to meet this wandering alchemist looking around outside Yijiabao. The old head of the family didn't believe in destiny, but because of his old age, he became obsessed with these things for no reason. After bringing him for questioning, he told the master of his hometown that within two years, a real dragon might appear in Yijia Fort.
At that time, Zhu Wen had just changed his name to the Yuan Dynasty. However, the master of the Yi family was willing to believe this, so he drove the alchemist out of the Yi family fort.
When he regrets it later, he will send people out to search for him. What's strange is that the alchemist has only been away for half an hour, but he can't be found for miles around.
Because of this, Patriarch Yi became interested in this. Within a year, the food stock in the fort doubled, and armor and other utensils were bought and built for free.
At this moment, Mr. Yi, who was still in a drowsy state, could only hear the sound of firecrackers and bursts of cheers ringing around him.
In his subconscious mind, he just felt that something big must have happened in the castle.
Perhaps, something big must have happened that could take Yijiabao to a higher level. These can directly overturn the foundation left by our ancestors!
I, Yijiabao, have finally flourished in my hands...
The two beauties, who were in constant panic, didn't realize that the white beard beside Yi's lips was trembling slightly when he was lying on the bed. After a while, he finally opened his wrinkled eyes. .
"What happened outside..."
At this moment, the two little ladies heard Patriarch Yi's slightly weak voice. They turned their heads and looked at Patriarch Yi, who had been resting for a long time. His eyes were exceptionally clear at this moment.
"Old Patriarch, there seems to be a chaos outside. The Patriarch may have brought people to quell the chaos."
At this time, the earth-shattering movement in the north had stopped, and the panic in the hearts of the two women stopped. One of them walked away, and the other of them lowered his body and whispered to the old master Yi.
fo
At this moment, Patriarch Yi found that his consciousness was particularly clear, and his limbs, which had been weak and unwilling to move much, seemed to have become more active.
His forehead full of horizontal lines wrinkled, the white beard on his face trembled slightly, and he struggled to sit up.
what happened?
Chaos?
How could there be chaos in Yijiabao?
He was full of doubts, and with the help of one of the little girls, he insisted on getting off the bed.
He just wanted to see what was going on outside.
Because Patriarch Yi needed to rest, there were only some maidservants outside. Therefore, when the Qi army bombarded the fortress wall, no news could reach here.
At this moment, the little girl who went to open the door just opened the door and suddenly let out an exclamation.
She saw that in the small courtyard that was already shrouded in the dark night, several firelights suddenly lit up, and bursts of noisy and messy footsteps came straight towards this direction.
But it was a group of heavily armored soldiers that they had never seen before. They all had long knives at their waists and held torches in their hands. They walked over with a person in their hands.
Taking a closer look, if he wasn't the chief steward in the fort, who was he?
And the moment the little girl opened the door, the tall soldiers striding in from the outside pulled out the sabers from their waists in an instant, and an inexplicable sense of chilling filled the entire courtyard. .
When they saw a frail little lady standing at the door, everyone restrained their murderous intent.
The chief steward looked bitter, pointed at the little girl who was too frightened to stand, and said tremblingly.
"My dear generals, the old master of the house is here. He is seriously ill now, so he doesn't dare to..."
But at this moment, there was a low sound of footsteps inside the door, and an old man with messy hair and beard, but his eyes were still bright in the firelight, leaned out of the door.
Behind him was a little girl who was so frightened that she huddled in the back.
"The head of the family..."
The general manager exclaimed, but stopped immediately, and looked at the several heavily armored soldiers around him in panic.
With just one glance, Patriarch Yi understood the current situation of Yi Family Fort.
It really overturned the foundation of our ancestors...
But after all, the old head of the family has seen ups and downs. At this moment, he holds the door railing with one hand and wraps himself in a cotton coat.
"May I ask which king your army belongs to..."
The heavy-armored warrior at the front had cold eyes and placed one hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist.
"Prince Jing of the Tang Dynasty heard that the old patriarch has a good reputation and asked me to invite the old patriarch to come and see him."
Datang?
Patriarch Yi's eyes were a little confused. Wasn't the Tang Dynasty destroyed by Zhu Wen a few years ago? Where did the Tang Dynasty come from?
But those heavy-armor soldiers didn't want to explain. They just waved their hands and asked the two little girls to put a new layer of thick clothes on the old master Yi, and then led the people in the courtyard out. Leave.
Along the way, Patriarch Yi could see that the entire Yi Family Fort was full of bright torches. The doors of every household in the fort were closed at the moment, and there were occasional blood stains on the roadside. Although it could be seen that it was It had been rinsed with clean water, but the smell of blood could still be clearly smelled in the air.
The streets that had been carefully maintained were now lined with soldiers in red armor, holding torches and guarding the streets meticulously.
They all had a fierce aura, and just standing there was enough to intimidate Xiao Xiaoye in the dark.
The meeting hall that originally belonged to the Yi family was also bright at the moment. Looking from the outside, one could only see the longing figures inside, but the figures of his son and grandson could be clearly seen in them.
Patriarch Yi's heart was suddenly tugged.
It's just that he couldn't get out, he was just an old skeleton. How come they didn't know how to escape?
Sighing in his heart, Patriarch Yi was sent into the lobby.
"Your Highness, the old head of the Yi family has brought it."
