Chapter 1703: Anger
"What the hell is going on in the city right now. Ye Shikai asked.
"It's not a secret, it has been spread all over the city today, saying that the groom of the lord ran away overnight and escaped from the city with the Ye Mansion, the lord was furious, and sent out all the 30,000 Janissaries in the city and the 100,000 garrisons outside the city to find them, and now there are only 20,000 defenders left in Linxiang City. ”
"In addition, the lord also offered a reward for a few of you, those who can capture you alive, or those who capture Miss He alive, a reward of 10,000 taels, worship the marquis, if you can capture Lord Shangguan and Lord Mancang alive, you can have a reward of 5,000, if you bring back the corpse, the reward will be halved, so now not only the army is looking for you, but also many people, they don't even do farm work, they are looking for you. Shopkeeper Chen told Ye Shikai about the current situation in the city, and he didn't feel strange, the reward of thousands of taels of gold and silver, even if those people worked hard all their lives, could not earn a fraction.
"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper Chen, if there is no you this time, we will not be able to escape from the city, in addition, in the future, I still hope that you can maintain a kind heart and take care of the orphans in the city, there have been too many battles in the past year, and too many men have died in Linxiang City, I don't know how many children have become orphans, and how many women have become widows. Ye Shikai took out a bag of gold and silver from the storage ring and stuffed it to Shopkeeper Chen.
"Lord Ye, what are you doing, I won't accept this money, but please rest assured, I will definitely do what you say. ”
"Well, thank you very much. ”
took He Linghan's grandfather back to the "fortress" and found a quiet place for him to settle in, although when he escaped from Linxiang City, Ye Fu dismissed most of the family, but He Linghan still came out with a few personal maids, so he and the old lady will not be left unattended.
Ye Shikai counted the number of people, two hundred pro-guards and more than a hundred secret guards, plus Mancang Shangguan Jian and they brought dozens of henchmen and officers, and now this fortress has a total of three hundred and ninety-seven people, and according to the original design, it can accommodate five hundred people, so there are still many rooms vacant.
Three days later.
"Shangguan, come in and take a look. Ye Shikai took Shangguan Jian and Mancang into a large warehouse, and as soon as he opened the door, there was a strong smell of "wooden board".
"It's ...... It's all weapons. After everyone saw it clearly, they couldn't help but gasp, spears, copper ge, copper swords, daggers, crossbows, darts, almost all the weapons of this era, there are them in this warehouse, and there are a lot of them, even large ordnance such as bed crossbows, which dazzled everyone at once, and then go inside, there is a helmet, as well as the most common bronze armor, which has three layers of heavy iron armor of the ironclad army.
"Ordnance, to be exact. Ye Shikai said lightly, picked up a sharp sword from above, and made a random gesture.
"Lao Ye, when did you move these things here, even I don't know. Shangguan Jian said excitedly.
"It's mostly about secrecy. Of course Ye Shikai wouldn't tell them that these things were brought in the storage ring, otherwise so many ordnance, even a hundred horses would not be enough.
"Although we don't have many people now, the defense of the fortress still needs to be done well, and it is not enough to rely on the organs in the woods, we also need to organize patrols. Ye Shikai continued, "Although it can be planted here, iron smelting can't be done, but these weapons are enough for us to use for a long time. ”
"I agree with Lao Ye's idea, although it is not big here, but it is not small to live three or four hundred people, the reason why we are safe here is because Mi Wen doesn't know here, and the formation of a patrol team is also to prevent it. ”
……………………………………………………………
Linxiang City.
"Back to my lord, we have searched the towns and villages that are convenient for hundreds of miles, but we have not found any. ”
"Get down, and if you don't look for him again, you can come and see him. ”
"Whew...... Here. ”
High up in the position of the lord, Mi Wen's face was cold, from her body, faintly exuding murderous and bloody intent, just as she is now wearing a bright red suit, as if it was dyed with blood, Ye Shikai's escape from marriage hit her very hard, overnight, she seemed to have changed a person, moody, of course, more often, she still had a cold face, even her henchman Huo Ziqing often felt chilling.
"My lord, those Diao people who spread rumors and talk about themselves have been arrested. A rough general walked in outside the door and said.
"Among the most serious ones, they were beheaded for public display, and their bodies were hung in the bazaar and exposed for three days. Qi Wen suddenly shouted, this time it was the use of internal force, and everyone present couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"The other people ......"
"Plucked out their tongues, all. ”
"This ...... My lord, some of them are children. ”
"Are you going to disobey my orders? Mi Wen said coldly, his cold and cruel nature was vividly displayed.
"No, no, no, the end will obey. ”
"In the future, if anyone makes any more arguments, he will be severely punished. ”
"Wow. ”
The groom official escaped on the wedding day, leaving Miwen alone in the empty room, those big and small officials naturally did not dare to discuss casually, and they kept their mouths shut, but there is no impermeable wall under the sky, this matter quickly spread to the people, everyone in the streets and alleys knows, in this era, even if this matter is put on ordinary women, it is difficult to accept, not to mention that Miwen is still the king of Chu, the lord of Chu, and his status is noble, so there are naturally many people who talk about it.
Mi Wen is an arrogant person in her bones, she naturally can't tolerate someone talking about her behind her back, or laughing at her behind her back, so she issued a strict order, if someone dares to talk about this, she will be punished with a cane or beheaded......
Ahhh
Mi Wen suddenly stood up, overturned all the fruit plates and snack plates on the table on the ground, screaming hysterically, the voice was very "tragic", the whole government could hear it, her spirit had been on the verge of collapse in the past few days, anger, unwillingness, and pain filled her heart.
The maids next to him, though also frightened, stepped forward and cleaned up the fruits and pastries that had been spilled on the ground.
Qi Wen sat down on the chair in disappointment, watching the maids clean up the pastries, a clue suddenly flashed in his mind, and he rushed forward, pushed the maids aside, and picked up the pastries on the ground.
"When was the pastry bought. Qi Wen turned his head and asked.
"Returning to my lordship, these pastries are ...... It was bought by the lord and Ye Gongzi at the market. One of the maids replied tremblingly, for fear that Miwen would be angry with her.
"Give the order to go down, get ready to drive, I'm going to the market. ”
