Hearing this, not to mention that Xia Ruoyan was stunned, even Gai Yan and Long Yuan were taken aback. Do you want to bring Xia Ruoyan into the camp of the rebel army? She's a woman!

Seeing the doubts in everyone's hearts, Liu Xiu smiled indifferently, first pointed to the clothes on Xia Ruoyan's body, then bent down again, swiped the dust on her fingertips on the ground, wiped the dust on her face with her fingertips, and said, "Who knew she was a woman?!" ”

Xia Ruoyan understands, now that she is wearing men's clothes, and her cheeks are stained, it is indeed difficult for strangers to tell whether she is a man or a woman, and the rebel army is loosely controlled, and Liu Xiu's eldest brother Liu Xiu is still the leader of the rebel army, and it is not difficult to hide such a person as her.

She nodded thoughtfully, and Liu Xiu continued: "Early tomorrow morning, the rebel army will go to Zhushan to exterminate the local Green Forest Army, this is your only chance to get out of the city, and it is also the best chance!" ”

Xia Ruoyan took a breath abruptly and said in surprise: "The righteous army ...... The rebels are going to exterminate the Green Forest Army? ”

Liu Xiu smiled bitterly and said: "This is an order from Lian Dan, and the rebels have no choice but to obey it." ”

Failure to comply with the order is a capital offense.

It's just that Lian Dan's order is really weird, exterminate the Green Forest Army, isn't that the job that the Jingshi Army should do, why should it be handed over to the righteous army to do?

Although Liu Xiu hadn't figured out what medicine was sold in Lian Dan's gourd, his intuition told him that Lian Dan was not well-intentioned.

Xia Ruoyan was silent for a moment and asked, "Only the righteous army goes to Zhushan?" ”

"There is also a cavalry under Lian Dan, with a thousand men and horses!"

Xia Ruoyan's whole heart suddenly hung in the air. The rebel army has little combat effectiveness, but the cavalry under Lian Dan is extremely combative, and even the barbarian army, which is known for its fierceness and fierceness, is like a mustard in front of the Lian Dan cavalry, and it is vulnerable.

She said urgently: "The people of Zhushan County were slaughtered by Lian Dan, and many people defected to the Green Forest Army when their families were killed!" "She also joined the Green Forest Army because of this.

It's just that she doesn't want to involve the Ye family, and in the Green Forest Army, there are very few people who really know her identity.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "The Green Forest Army is full of people who have been forced to live by Wang Mang's tyranny, if I have the opportunity to help them, I will naturally be duty-bound." ”

In fact, Liu Xiu may not appreciate the Green Forest Army much, although Green Forest and Red Eyebrows are all rebel armies forced by life, but they have not done many ugly things such as robbing homes and houses, killing people and stealing goods.

It's just that Green Lin and Red Eyebrows have a clear attitude under the banner of resisting Wang Mang's tyranny, and in terms of righteousness, their approach is consistent with Liu Xiu's philosophy.

Whether it is public or private, Liu Xiu will of course stand on the side of the Green Forest Army at present.

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Xia Ruoyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xiu is Liu Xiu's younger brother, his attitude can completely influence Liu Xiu's attitude, as long as the righteous army is on his side, for the Zhushan Green Forest Army, this battle still has to be fought.

They went to the camp of the righteous army, not for the time being, and said that Lian Dan and his party went to Yefu in a mighty way.

Lian Dan hadn't arrived yet, and the cavalry under his command had already surrounded Yefu first. The cavalry and horse team of 2,000 people surrounded the huge Ye Mansion with three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water could not be drained.

The servants of the Ye Mansion didn't understand what was going on, so they ran into the mansion in fright, and the door was closed.

Lian Dan took a carriage and came to the gate of Yefu, supported by his guards, he walked out of the carriage and looked at the gate of Yefu, and the old god said on the ground: "Call the door!" ”

The two guards strode to the gate of the Ye Mansion, slapping the door panel vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Open the door, open the door, open the door!" General Lian is coming, and you can't open the door quickly! ”

After a while, the guards outside were about to forcibly knock open the door of the mansion, but at this time, they heard the door creak and slowly opened, and Ye Tian and more than a dozen guards and servants walked out of the mansion gate.

When I got outside, I saw that everywhere I looked, there were officers and soldiers, black pressure, dense turns, and I couldn't count them.

Ye Tian looked at it, his eyes fell on Lian Dan's body, the relationship between the two of them was not very familiar, but they had met before. Ye Khotan took a few steps forward, and was about to approach Lian Dan, when the left and right guards stepped forward to block Ye Khotan, and at the same time pulled out half of the saber under his ribs. Ye Tian's face changed suddenly, and he involuntarily took a step back, looked at Lian Dan with a shocked face, and asked, "General Lian, what is this?" ”

Seeing this, Lian Dan smiled, separated his guards, walked to Ye Tian, and said, "Ye Gong, it's been a long time, don't come to harm?" ”

Ye Tian hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Villain Ye Tian, meet General Lian!" ”

"Ye Gong doesn't have to be polite."

"I don't know what happened to General Lian's sudden visit to Ye Mansion?" Ye Tian asked with curiosity on his face.

Lian Dan sneered in his heart, old thing, you can pretend to be quite good, I want to see how long you can pretend?! He said happily: "Ye Gong, Ben Shuai was ambushed by assassins yesterday, I wonder if Ye Gong has heard about this?" ”

"The villain heard about it."

"My men were chasing an assassin when they found her fleeing into the Ye Mansion."

Ye Tian was stunned for a moment, then his head shook like a rattle, and he said urgently: "General Lian, there is no such thing, there are no assassins in the Ye Mansion!" ”

"Really? Ha ha! Lian Dan looked up and smiled, and said, "It is said that the Ye family's cousin suddenly visited the Ye Mansion, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"Miss Table? Which watch lady? ”

"Xia Ruoyan!"

Hearing Lian Dan say Xia Ruoyan's name, Ye Tian's face changed slightly, he was stunned for a moment, shook his head again and again, and said: "Ruoyan's family is suffering, she is currently in Zhuxi's grandfather's house, not in the county town, let alone in my Ye Mansion, why did General Lian say that Ruoyan is here with me?!" ”

Fuck it! Ye Khotan, this old thing, is really good at pretending! Lian Dan smiled coldly at him, and shouted sideways: "Lord Zhou! ”

Hu Cao Zhouzong cautiously walked out of the crowd, came to Lian Dan's side, bowed down and said, "General Lian! ”

"You say, Xia Ruoyan is not in Ye Mansion?"

"This ......" Zhou Zong looked at Ye Tian timidly, and saw that the latter was also looking at him intently, he shrank his neck in fright, and he didn't say anything.

As the Hu Cao of the county government, Zhou Zong's official position is not small, but in Hanzhong, he really can't afford to provoke the Ye family.

Seeing his timid and scared look, Lian Dan suddenly became angry and shouted: "Say! ”

Zhou Zong's body trembled, and he almost didn't kneel to the ground. He looked at Khotan in horror and stammered, "Go back to ...... Returning to General Lian, the Ye family's cousin ...... It's in Yefu! ”

Lian Dan nodded, smiled at Ye Tian, and asked, "Ye Gong, what else do you have to say?" Ben Shuai was assassinated yesterday, and Xia Ruoyan was exactly the Ye Mansion who arrived yesterday, the assassin who escaped was a woman, Xia Ruoyan was obviously also a woman, Ben Shuai had every reason to suspect that she was the female assassin who was on the run! ”

Ye Tian frowned and said, "General Lian, you can't talk nonsense, and you can't just listen to Lord Zhou's words. The villain has already made it clear that Ruoyan is not in Ye Mansion at all, but at Zhuxi's grandfather's house! ”

Still hard-mouthed! Lian Dan hated and angry, turned his head and glared at Zhou Zong, and asked by his name: "Zhou Zong, what do you say?" ”

Zhou Zong wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, he couldn't afford to offend the Ye family, but he couldn't afford to offend Lian Dan. He swallowed his saliva, raised his eyes to look at an elderly domestic servant beside Ye Tian, and said, "Chen Yuan, you come out!" ”

The servant whose name he had called shrunk his neck and stood still without daring to move. After waiting for a while, seeing that the eyes of Ye Tian and the people around him were focused on him, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he could only slowly walk out of the crowd, salute Lian Dan and Zhou Zongshen, and said: "Villain Chen Yuan, I have seen General Lian and Lord Zhou!" ”

"Yesterday, Miss Ye of the Ye family came to the Ye Mansion, and she was dressed in men's clothes, looking flustered, this is what you told the official, right?" Zhou Zong said word by word.

"I ...... I ......" Chen Yuan's gaze floated, his face was white and red, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

It turned out to be you! When Ye Qingqiu told Ye Khotan that the Ye family had a spies, he still didn't believe it, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help but believe it.

Ye Tian took a step forward violently, scaring Chen Yuan so much that he hurriedly hid behind Zhou Zong.

Zhou Zong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Ye Gong has something to say......

Ye Tian ignored him at all, glared at Chen Yuan angrily, and said in a condensed voice: "Chen Yuan, I am not thin on you, you actually eat inside and outside and frame my Ye family?" ”

"I ...... This ......" Chen Yuan didn't know what to say, and he couldn't wait to find a place to get in.

Ye Tian looked at Lian Dan and said with a gloomy face: "General Lian, Ruoyan is indeed not in my Ye Mansion, this matter is completely Chen Yuan's framing of my Ye Mansion, and I ask General Lian to find out!" ”

The corners of Lian Dan's mouth hooked, and he said slowly: "Whether Chen Yuan is framed or not, he has searched the Ye Mansion and will know for himself." As he spoke, he waved his hand forward and shouted, "Search Ye Mansion!" ”

"Wait!" As soon as Ye Tian stretched out his hand, he stopped the officers and soldiers who were swarming up, and the guards and families around him also stepped forward one after another, opening their arms to block everyone.

Lian Dan raised his eyebrows and asked in a weird manner, "What?" Ye Gong is weak-hearted, and he doesn't dare to let me wait for a search? ”

Ye Tian Zhengse said: "General Lian, I have repeatedly reiterated that Ruoyan is not in my Ye Mansion at all, General Lian can't just listen to the villain's slanderous rumors, and launch a search of my Ye Mansion without evidence!" ”

After a pause, he said word by word: "The Ye family is in Hanzhong, and they are also a famous family with a head and a face, how can they be humiliated like this?" ”

Lian Dan gritted his teeth with hatred, but before he pulled Xia Ruoyan out, he really couldn't tear his face with Ye Tian. He pointed at Chen Yuan and sneered: "The witness is here, Ye Gong still has to quibble?" ”

Ye Tian said without giving an inch: "Just a brazen house slave, how can his words be proof?" ”

Lian Dan's face sank suddenly, and he didn't talk nonsense with Ye Tian anymore, and shouted loudly: "Search Ye Mansion!" Those who dare to stop will be killed! ”

Hearing his order, the officers and soldiers pushed the guards who were blocking the front one after another, and rushed into the gate of the Ye Mansion with a snort.

Ye Tian's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at Lian Dan and said loudly: "General Lian, you really have no one in my Ye family, but you can be humiliated with you?" If you can find Ruoyan today, I Ye Khotan will dispose of it with you, if you can't find Ruoyan, even if I Ye Tian goes to Chang'an in person, I will sue you for the royal state! ”
