night.
"Auntie, don't worry." Zhou Shiliu put the folding fan into his belt and lay in front of the window with a bright smile.
Xiao Luolan took her daughter to sleep together. They hadn't rested yet, and they both looked at Zhou Shiliu by the window.
Xiao Luolan smiled softly, walked to the window and picked off the stray leaves on Zhou Shiliu's head: "I feel at ease. Thank you very much this time."
Xiao Qingxue slightly changed her view of Zhou Shiliu: "Why don't you come in?"
Zhou Shiliu was speechless about this little girl's movie. How could he enter his aunt and her room so late? He still wanted to live.
"Aunt, cousin, you can sleep peacefully while I go on patrol." After receiving the compliment on Zhou Shiliu, he prepared to tell his uncle when he came back. There will definitely be a lot of rewards then, and maybe he can even make a pair of golden donkey hooves. Strap for his love donkey.
Humming the donkey song that his cousin taught him, Zhou Shiliu walked away with his hands behind his back.
"I have a little donkey that I never ride."
“One day I rode it to the market on a whim.”
…
Listening to Zhou Shiliu's off-key singing, Xiao Luolan couldn't help but laugh and felt much more relaxed.
Chapter 207
Late at night, Xiao Luolan was gently awakened by Dong Xue while still sleeping.
As soon as she opened her eyes, the confusion in Xiao Luolan's eyes quickly dissipated: "Is there something going on outside?" Otherwise, Dongxue would not wake her up for no reason.
After saying that, Xiao Luolan put on his clothes and stood up.
"Vice General Yi would like to see you." Dong Xue replied softly.
Xiao Luolan felt a chill in her heart. She straightened her clothes and went to the hall. In the brightly lit hall, Yi Fan was dressed in armor. When he saw the princess, he bowed to him: "I will pay my respects to the princess." He said concisely: "One hour Ahead, Gao Chongying met another army that was galloping late at night. General Yimo saw that there were quite a few people, probably a cavalry force of over a thousand people."
Xiao Luolan calmed down: "Have you found out the identity of that army?"
"It is suspected that Hailing Town is trying to suppress Tian Jian's Haiyun City." Yi Fan took out a map, spread it out for the princess to see, and pointed to the location of Hailing.
Xiao Luolan took a look and found that Hailing was not very far away from Shennong, but why did the army come to Shennong Town late at night? Xiao Luolan couldn't figure it out. She looked at Vice General Yi and asked, "In Vice General Yi's opinion, what should we do?"
"Stay still for now and continue to investigate." Yi Fan said respectfully, "We can explore Gao Chongying's tone tomorrow."
Xiao Luolan thought for a moment and realized that what Vice General Yi said was similar to her own. She also felt that stability was the priority, so she said, "Then follow what Vice General Yi said."
After Vice General Yi left, Xiao Luolan lost sleep.
She sat on a chair and looked at the dark sky in the distance. She felt a little relieved when she thought that her party had four thousand more people than the other party.
On the other side, Gao Chongying looked at the uninvited Hailing Town Envoy, frightened and angry: "Tian Jian, what are you doing with the cavalry late at night? If I hadn't seen you leading the team, I would have We need to send troops to fight!"
"Don't make any noise." Tian Jian was only twenty-eight, but he had a frightening and ferocious black face. He looked thirty-four or five years old. He sat down and said to his colleague who was also a suppressor: "I'm here just for one thing."
"What's the matter?" Gao Zhongyang was still angry, but he had heard about this fierce man's achievements, so his angry tone was a bit weak.
"Lend me your soldiers!" Tian Jiandao.
Gao Chongying once again suspected that there was something wrong with his ears: "What did you say?"
"To tell you the truth, Gao Chongying, I learned from a confidant two days ago that the governor of Guangling County was imprisoned. My life was saved by Mr. Wu. Now I want to save Mr. Wu. Can you borrow this soldier?" Borrow it!" Tian Jian said with eyes wide open in anger.
Gao Chongying was immediately shocked by the news. Seeing that Tian Jianzhen was not joking, he stood up suddenly and asked urgently: "Who gave the order and on what charge was Magistrate Wu arrested?"
"Huainan Jiedu Envoy, and the Southeastern Recruitment Envoy Shi Funan." Tian Jian stood up. Under the candlelight, Gao Chongying discovered that his armor was stained with blood, and his heart sank. It seemed that Tian Jian was coming with bad intentions. Those who don't come.
"It is said that a witchcraft villain was found in Mr. Wu's house. It has the birth date of the saint on it, and he intends to use witchcraft to harm the saint." Tian Jiandao.
Gao Chongying's scalp was numb. This was a serious crime, especially since Fu Nan was the immediate boss of the officials in Huainan during the Huainan Jiedushi period, and he was the legitimate and supreme leader of Guangling.
"Do you want to borrow it or not?" Tian Jian said murderously.
"I..." Gao Chongying didn't want to borrow it, but he couldn't beat Tian Jian, who was brave, aggressive and good at fighting. He suddenly remembered how Tian Jian bypassed Tianshui Town. You must know that Tianshui Town's suppression made Tao Changchun always Don't deal with him.
"What did you do to Tao Changchun?" Gao Chongying asked.
"Kill." Tian Jian smiled ferociously: "My subordinates have occupied Tianchang."
Cold sweat broke out on Gao Chongying's forehead. Seeing Tian Jian getting closer, he shouted: "Tian Jian, don't worry, there is someone who may, no, definitely can save Sheriff Wu."
At dawn.
Xiao Luolan sat behind the curtain. Although Gao Chongying took all the trays without having to investigate, her mood became heavier and heavier. Listening to Gao Chongying's story about last night, her face changed slightly. She never expected that Sheriff Wu was actually imprisoned. If you think about it carefully, Chen Qing who was far away in Chang'an might also be implicated in this matter. After all, Chen Qing has been with the emperor all year round. As a Hanlin scholar and a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he was trusted by the emperor.
Commander Wu and Chen Qing were brothers, and the emperor would definitely be the first to suspect him.
Xiao Qinghe stood behind his aunt, his face pale.
Xiao Qingxue frowned, glanced at her aunt on Saturday, scratched her head, walked to her and whispered: "What he said must be true. Vice General Yi and I saw the military flag of Haiyundu in the distance. I have also met Tian Jian, aunt, he has a sinister face and I am afraid he will not leave easily. Do you want me to step in and tell him off later?"
"No, wait a minute." Xiao Luolan told Shiliu not to be so impulsive first. If what Tian Jian said was true, he was a helper on the side of Governor Wu.
It was just that this helper was a little too impulsive, killing his colleagues and occupying the land to raise troops. If Shi Funan, the military governor of Huainan, reacted, he would definitely not be able to gain favor.
"Princess, Tian Jian is waiting outside the palace. He wants to pull me to rescue Governor Wu, but I don't want to. It is really an order from a superior. Raising troops without permission is a serious crime of beheading." Gao Chongying stood up and said: "Because Governor Wu is Mr. Xiao, so I want to report to you first, I wonder if you can let me see Master Jiedu now?"
Xiao Luolan came up with an excuse and said, "My husband went to the camp early in the morning. I will tell him about this when he comes back."
Gao Chongying hesitated for a while, then sat back on the chair: "Then I'll wait here for Master Jiedu."
If Zhou Youzhou agrees to go to Guangling to rescue Wu County Governor, then he will follow the large army and pretend to be coerced. If he does not agree, then he will pretend that it is not the case. Tian Jian can tell Zhou Youzhou when the time comes. go.
Gao Chongying thought about it in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that his method was exquisite.
Xiao Luolan clenched her palms and suddenly heard the noise outside. It turned out that Tian Jian was impatient with the wait and led people to barge in, shouting so loudly that the sound could be heard from a distance.
"Zhou Youzhou, you can't just die without saving him. The imprisonment of Governor Wu has a lot to do with you."
Zhou Shiliu sneered, what's the point? Uncle is not here, so it can be blamed on him. He walked straight out of the side room and said to the tooth general at the door: "Go and meet him, ask him What’s the point of kidnapping me and letting my aunt listen?”
Yi Fan looked at the princess.
Through the bead curtain, Xiao Luolan looked at Shennong Town's envoy Gao Chongying who was sitting on the chair, and said softly: "It's fine if you don't tie him up. Just ask him not to make any noise."
Yi Fan got the order.
When Ya Jiang heard the princess's order, he smiled innocently on his dark face, and when his fingers intertwined, there was a sound of exploding soybeans, attracting the attention of He Jin and Zheng Yuxin.
Yajiang held out his belly and walked out.
A quarter of an hour later, Tian Jian came in with his teeth pressed against him. Tian Jian had his hands tied behind his back. The stubborn old Gao did not even kneel down after entering the lobby. He only shouted: "Zhou Youzhou, although I haven't read many books, But I also know that one cannot be ungrateful, and I know the real reason why Governor Wu was imprisoned."
Zhou Liu curled his lips and returned to his aunt.
"Governor Wu held a banquet for students. It was said at the banquet that the stability of the border is due to you Zhou Youzhou, and the south also enjoys the fruits. When you talk about righteousness, why do you mock and bully those northern students who come to the south to study? Scholars like us read books and work as people. If people can’t do well, it’s useless no matter how many books they read.” Tian Jian had obviously memorized these words, so he spoke without any hindrance, in one breath That's it.
"Just a few days after Governor Wu said this, he was killed by a traitor. He ended up in this situation because he was trying to protect you Northland students."
Tian Jian struggled to stand up: "Aren't you, Youzhou, building a golden platform? Zhou Youzhou, as long as you save the governor of Wu County, the Hanshi of Guangling will be grateful to you."
Tian Jian wanted to say more, but Gao Chongying coughed lightly and reminded: "Zhou Youzhou is not here for the time being. Behind the curtain is his wife, Princess Zhenbei."
Tian Jian was stunned for a moment.
After hearing what Tian Jian said, Xiao Luolan felt a little confused. She was afraid that what Tian Jian had done would be discovered, which would trigger the Huainan Jiedushi to encircle and suppress them. She was also worried that if there was a real fight, she would only have Lieutenant General Yi on her side for the time being, and she would lose. What should I do?
But what Tian Jian said has some truth to it.
Xiao Luolan tried to calm down.
"It turns out to be the princess!" Tian Jian was overjoyed: "That's great. Princess, Commander Wu, who is under Mr. Xiao's sect, is your senior brother. If you don't save him, who will?"
"Princess! Princess! Your senior brother..."
Teeth closed on Tian Jian's mouth: "It's too noisy."
"Don't worry, you two. I'll discuss it with the prince when he comes back. You can retreat first." Xiao Luolan stabilized them first, especially Tian Jian.
Gao Chongying had no choice but to leave. After all, the owner had clearly issued an order to expel guests. Tian Jian looked at his back and asked his own soldiers to keep an eye on him and not let him pass on information.
at the same time.
Xiao Luolan also asked Yajiang to keep an eye on these two people, firstly to prevent Tian Jian from doing irrational things in a hurry, and secondly because he was worried about Gao Chongying.
After doing this, Xiao Luolan looked at Vice General Yi who was left behind and asked seriously: "What is your reputation in Jiangnan?"
Yi Fan didn't expect that the princess would ask this question. He hesitated and said: "Yeah, it's okay. Maybe here in Jiangnan, maybe they don't come into contact with the general very often. He has some misunderstandings about the general. The general is not as rumored. It can stop children from crying at night..."
Yi Fan said in a rare confusion: "There are too many false stories here in Jiangnan."
Xiao Luolan felt that Vice General Yi had misunderstood, and asked in detail: "A lot of people are afraid of him, right? The generals in Jiangnan have also heard of his reputation, right?"
"Of course!" Yi Fan was immediately stimulated when he heard the words Jiangnan General: "The general killed thousands of people, and everyone in the world is afraid of him."
Xiao Luolan breathed out softly and made a decision: "Vice General Yi, take out the big paper."
Yi Fan immediately knew the princess's intention: "I will obey the order." Then he left.
Xiao Luolan was nervous and worried.
Arita Jian's two towns, plus Shennong's own town and Guituqi, should have fifteen thousand on hand. They can use Youqi Dahuhu to fake the power of the tiger and pretend that the Zhou clan master is in charge. In a short time, no one will do it. Attack them.
If Sect Master Zhou's reputation is good enough, Governor Wu might be able to survive in a short time. This is the best solution Xiao Luolan came up with.
The author has something to say:
Loren imagined herself: weak, pitiful and helpless
Chapter 208
When the banner with the word "You" was fluttering above the camp, Xiao Luolan couldn't help but feel a little more at ease.
Yi Fan stood half a step away from the princess, standing on one side, and reported back: "The general has ordered his subordinates to patrol strictly, and sent hundreds of cavalry scouts to explore the surrounding area. The secret sentry has been set up, please rest assured, Princess."
Xiao Luolan smiled at Vice General Yi and said, "I feel relieved that Vice General Yi is here."
Xiao Luolan was telling the truth. At least Vice General Yi was a general who had fought victorious battles, and if Sect Leader Zhou kept him here, his strength must be good.
"Princess Miao Zan." Yi Fan cupped his hands and said, "The general actually has a few more words to say about Tian Jian."
