The moon is white and the wind is clear, the spring night is more than ten thousand taels of gold, the night is quiet, the Jianjian is desolate and cold. On an early spring night, such a desolate scene is the most taboo. As the temperature gradually returns, there is an even cooler feeling.
Ye Sangeng was completely shocked by his impassioned remarks. He really didn't expect that he could say such inspiring words. It seems that the principle that those who are close to the ink will be black and those who are close to the red will be red have never changed, which made Ye Sangeng unlucky. Don't sigh that you can be so eloquent when you are following your sister unnoticed.
The most important thing is that the emotions of this group of garrison soldiers who have never experienced war have been aroused to the highest level. At least for now, it seems that even if they conflict with the unknown group of people, they will not retreat.
I hope this group of people are not rogue ninjas from Fuying. After understanding the laws of Dazhou, they will naturally not attack this group of registered soldiers, and they can also use them as a shield.
With a simple arrangement, the 100 reserve soldiers were singled out in the middle of the night. After all, this group of people was not considered regular soldiers, and their skills and ability to adapt were far different.
The safety of the situation here is unpredictable, so it is better to arrange as few people as possible to rush to the front unless it is absolutely necessary. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if the protection is not complete, some people will be timid at the critical moment. That is really a rat droppings that spoils the pot of porridge.
All the 100 reserve soldiers were arranged near the government office to wait for orders. At midnight, the remaining 100 regular soldiers were broken into pieces and roughly divided into teams of more than 50 people, leaving one team behind. Responding flexibly, the remaining three teams set off one team every half hour, and he took the lead in leading the team to Xingluo Villa.
Silencing their voices, a group of people, led by the late night watchman, used the woods to hide their figures and moved forward in stealth. At present, the door of the empty manor built at the foot of the mountain is closed, but the lights are still brightly lit. Even if it is close, no sound can be heard. The hustle and bustle just now is completely gone. The lonely and huge manor is even more peaceful in the quiet night. Several lanterns lighting up the villa were shaking unsteadily, making it even more eerie.
In the middle of the night, he ordered the people behind him to stay about ten feet away from the villa, while he quietly made a circle to the back of the villa and rolled over like a civet cat to enter.
The village was completely silent, with no human voice at all. On the third night of the night, he did not dare to take it lightly in case there was a scam. He moved around on the roof and inspected the entire village, except for the dozen or so servants of the village including Qi Moyan who were in the kitchen. Anyone else?
Ye Sangen couldn't help but have doubts. I cautiously arrived at the hall and took a peek. The big table that was noisy and crowded an hour ago was only in a mess. There was no one left in the room.
After cautiously observing the surroundings and confirming that no one was around, he turned over and entered the hall at midnight. When he saw that the water in the cup on the table was still steaming, he frowned slightly.
We were pretty sure that only Qi Moyan's group was left in the manor, and Ningzhi Yubilanpo's group just left like that?
And he just left, which is really puzzling. Shrouded in darkness, a bit of mystery suddenly adds to the mystery.
After carefully groping around the village once more to confirm again that the group of unknown thieves were not in the village, he ducked into the kitchen in the middle of the night.
Seeing someone coming, the dozen or so people in the kitchen flinched. Naturally, the impression left by this group of thieves on them was not much better.
On the contrary, Qi Moyan, who was sitting in the corner, was calm. Although he had lost his usual elegance and his slovenly appearance was really pitiful, his demeanor was still as unruly. He raised his head and said impatiently: "It's over. , are you going to let people sleep?" Looking at the Phoenix City Lord who is still mild-mannered in the moonlight, Ye San couldn't help but said with a smile: "You are really a cooked duck now, all you have is a tough mouth."
"Third Young Master is back to save us." The first person to react was the little girl Lu Hua, who cheered with joy.
Hearing the voice, he was obviously stunned. Qi Moyan then raised his hand and pointed at Ye San Geng as if he had seen a ghost and asked, "Why did you come back by yourself? Didn't you go to mobilize troops?" His eyes crossed Ye San Geng for a while.
"Where's Xia You?" Ye San Geng really wanted to open the head of the city lord and see if there was nothing but paste besides the chess pieces inside. He didn't bother to talk nonsense with him and asked directly: "Where are the people outside?" He didn't see it. At the end of the night, the Phoenix City Lord who had been thinking about him stood up with the help of his steward Qi Yuan. It seemed that he had been tortured a lot this day and night. Although it was not a physical pain, it was also the most difficult mentally.
Qi Moyan asked listlessly: "Who is it?" Looking at this, he didn't know that everyone outside had left. Ye San was even more confused as to why these people caught Qi Moyan.
In the middle of the night, he said: "Those people who kidnapped you." Hearing what Xian knew, Qi Moyan's thoughts instantly became clear, and he said in shock: "There is no one outside?" He winked at Qi Yuan over there.
The housekeeper has been with Qi Moyan for so many years, and he can understand what his master means with just one look. But what is going on now? The other party is a group of reckless men who do not follow the rules. Let him investigate, in case he encounters a bad guy. If you don't leave alone, you won't have anywhere to run.
Naturally, he saw the housekeeper's dilemma in the middle of the night and said to him, "There's no need to make another trip. If there's no one, there's no one. Why should I lie to you?" Suddenly he realized that there was something missing in this group of people, and he Puzzled: "Where are those nursing homes you invited?"
"Protect this shitty hospital!" Qi Moyan, who has always given off a gentle and gentle vibe, cursed,
"It's so easy to get money one by one. Things can run faster than a rabbit. That night I saw that old witch, and the next day they came to me one by one to ask for resignation. Either my wife was sick or the child had an accident. Those faces are really disgusting." Ye Sangeng understands that these people who make a living by relying on some tricks are just some boxing and kicking skills, and they only have a glimpse of the threshold of martial arts. They may meet an expert to give them some advice. Those who can reach the upper level of Yijin among outsiders' martial arts, in fact, can only stay at the first level of body training, have a handful of strength, and know some physical skills, and that's it.
Qi Moyan suddenly asked again: "Where is Xia You?" Ye San Geng really wanted to ask what this guy was thinking about. At such a critical moment, he was kidnapped, but he was still here thinking lovingly. Some or not, this really doesn't look like a normal person.
Yesan said angrily: "In a very safe place."
"Staying in Zhizhai?" Qi Moyan was still asking for answers. At this time, I couldn't help complaining: "Brother, do you know what's happening now? As a city lord, don't you first care about the safety of the people in your city? You only care about my sister here. , are you a city lord?" Qi Moyan looked at the midnight watch like a fool,
"Why are that woman and Bilan Po looking for you and your brother to embarrass the people in my city?" A thought stirred in the middle of the night. It seemed that as expected, my cousin came just for the two of us. She could only be with them. The mixture of Bilanpo and Bilanpo is truly unexpected.
It's just that Qi Moyan, the city lord, doesn't seem to understand the stakes at the moment. He explained everything in detail on the third night, from going to the city overnight because he wanted to find people stationed in the village, to sneaking into the villa and disappearing. The traces of the gang of thieves, based on what I saw and heard for more than an hour, I briefly talked about it from beginning to end in the middle of the night.
"The guards on the city are missing? Is the city closed?" Qi Moyan felt quite overwhelmed and his eyes were full of disbelief. He pulled Ye Sangeng aside and lowered his voice for fear of being heard by others.
"You said that woman is your cousin? You won't admit it, right?" The other party asked questions one after another. In the middle of the night, he took out the piece of bamboo paper from his arms and handed it to Qi Moyan. Qi Moyan just glanced at it and shook his head. He denied: "I didn't write this. I never said the words about closing the city, and I didn't write this word." As he spoke, Qi Moyan waved Qi Yuan to the side and asked about the identity of this piece of paper. matter.
Qi Yuan had something to say and said: "Yesterday after noon, the prefect came to ask you why you closed the city. It was that woman who taught me that you had special arrangements and gave me this secret letter." Qi Moyan waved his hand to Qi Yuan. Leave, read the words on this piece of paper carefully again, and wait until you see the last sentence
"The city was closed for two days and nights." After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly felt a sense of fear and said, "What on earth do they want to do? Why are they still closing the city?" From the very beginning, when I heard about the city's closure in the middle of the night, I He asked the prefect and the captain in disbelief. In fact, it was because there were too many problems involved in closing the city. It was not just about sealing the city as soon as there was enough food and grass. In the current era of peace and prosperity, there were no wars or chaos. The impact of disasters and city closures will only cause people to panic. This is a kind of spiritual oppression and persecution for the people. As far as public opinion is concerned, over time it will affect the interests of the upper class.
Locking down a city, whether it is a city or a country, is the most undesirable and least appropriate measure for a ruler to take.
Qi Moyan was only a city lord in name only, how could he not be afraid? If this matter is investigated, even if he has no real power, it will be a serious crime of beheading.
Those in power are most afraid of gossips from their subordinates, especially in this peaceful and prosperous age, where a single spark can start a prairie fire. If someone with good intentions joins the book, they may not be easy to deal with.
Seeing Qi Mo Yan just staring at this piece of mottled bamboo paper without saying a word, Ye San Geng naturally knew the depth of it, and also wanted to avoid the mischief of others, so he asked in a low voice: "How about it? Do you want Panshan to help me then?" Qi Mo Yan was really ambitious. Some, even now, are still thinking about Ye Xia Yu, and Zheng Ruowu said unintentionally: "You two are both in trouble, so you don't need to worry about me. This little thing is not a big problem." Ye Sangen curled his lips.
I just thought that this guy didn't have any bad intentions. He was really good to himself and his sister. Just when he was about to say something insinuating to stop him from thinking too much, the chess master who became the lord of the city by playing chess suddenly sighed. .
It's lighter in the middle of the night
"Hmm" expressed confusion, and the third-rank city lord was heard wondering: "Who imitated my handwriting? It really looks like it." Ye San was speechless.
Why does this person have such strange and strange ideas?
