A cold wind blew, and there were almost no people in the courtyard of the Xiang family's house, and many women and children moved to Li Mingqi's Zhuangzi, and the courtyard that had always been crowded and narrow seemed a little empty.

Master Xiang Wu walked slowly alone, and after receiving Xiang Nan's letter again, he came out of the grief of losing two sons in a row, and he visibly raised the thin flesh again.

He walked into Mrs. Xiang's study, Mrs. Xiang's study was warm, exuding the fragrance of wine, and comfortable, but Mrs. Xiang, who was flushed, frowned.

"Father, what's the matter?" Master Xiang Wu hurriedly put away his pleasure and asked nervously, "What news is there about Xiao Nan?" ”

Old lady Xiang waved his hand: "It's Xiang Yun." ”

Xiang Nan is his lifeline, Xiang Yun is the sky above his head, and he is the biggest backer of the Xiang family's glory, and the fifth master Xiang is even more nervous: "How is the sixth brother?" Hurt again? ”

The injury is not serious, but the serious thing is the injury that caused it, and the old lady Xiang said that Jiannan Dao borrowed the soldier Xiang Yun to fight but was assassinated.

After hearing this, Master Xiang Wu's face was solemn and uneasy: "This assassin is really inseparable from Jiannan Dao?" ”

"Although Jiannandao and Yun'er both said to the outside world that they were assassins sent by Ankang Mountain, but." Old Lady Xiang shook his head, "We don't need to deceive ourselves, Yun'er is not worthy of Ankang Mountain sending assassins alone. ”

Although in the old lady's study, Master Xiang Wu couldn't help but look around and lowered his voice: "Is it that Li Feng'an's matter has been discovered?" ”

"The physical evidence has been eliminated, the human evidence is dead, and there is absolutely no evidence left in this matter." Old lady Xiang said affirmatively, but also shook her head, "But everything in this world will inevitably leave traces if it is done, and nothing is absolutely foolproof, so someone on the Jiannan Road side must have guessed something." ”

Master Xiang Wu pondered and groaned: "Is it that Yuanji?" So he disappeared with the eldest lady, in fact, he didn't want to marry us, let alone send the eldest lady to us. ”

Old lady Xiang nodded: "Yun'er and I also guessed like this. ”

Master Xiang Wu moved uneasily in his chair: "Yuan Ji is Li Feng'antuogu's person, and Jiannan Dao is also his person, how can this be good?" ”

Old lady Xiang smiled instead, and spread her hand on the armrest: "So what? He did not directly kill Yun'er, but hid, which shows that there is no evidence, and he has no ability to bear the consequences of exposing this matter. ”

Master Xiang Wu nodded: "The status and character of the sixth brother in Jiannan Dao are also unquestionable, Li Feng'an is gone, and Jiannan Dao can't withstand the turmoil." He frowned again, "But he doesn't get rid of it for a day, he is always in trouble, and now he has trapped the sixth brother, and the sixth brother can't even go to Jiannan Dao, so how to control the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Dao?" ”

Old lady Xiang rubbed the handrail and squinted: "We have Xiao Nan now." ”

Master Xiang Wu sat up straight.

"Yuan Ji is hiding and putting Master Li San out, then we will rely on Master Li San, after all, it is his daughter who is now married to our family." Old lady Xiang said, "What should I do if I look at Yuan Ji who can't see people." ”

A smile spread on the face of Master Xiang Wu: "Master Li San's daughter is really good, we don't need to remind her, she has already written a letter to ask Xiao Nan to come back and lead the troops." ”

Old lady Xiang sighed, and was more concerned about another thing: "She sent the letter to you?" ”

Master Xiang Wu nodded and took out the letter: "I came to show it to my father." ”

The letter was opened, and he had apparently read it.

Old lady Xiang waved his hand: "Don't read it, she doesn't need to send the letter to Xiaonan from the Li family, but hand it over to us, this is the sincerity she expressed." ”

Master Xiang Wu also reacted when he thought about it: "She's quite smart." ”

Old lady Xiang smiled: "Because she is fake, the real eldest lady doesn't need to be smart." ”

The real eldest lady has no desires and no desires, and she doesn't need to think about whether she is thoughtful or not.

"It's more appropriate to marry someone who comes in this way." Master Xiang Wu smiled, a little impatient to get up, "I'll go and write a letter to Xiao Nan." ”

Old lady Xiang motioned for him to sit down: "Forget it, Xiao Nan doesn't like to listen to you, his sixth uncle has already written, so don't make trouble." ”

Master Xiang Wu sneered: "This rebel doesn't know what to think, he has bothered the sixth uncle since he was a child." ”

Old lady Xiang looked out the window, and the snow particles in the cold wind were all falling, and the drunkenness seemed to be condensed in his eyes again: "Young people think too much, they don't know how thick the sky is, they think that they can prove that they are powerful by doing what they want, and without a family, where can they do whatever they want." ”

The snow particles gradually turned into snowflakes, and the four servants wore thick uniforms and carried sophisticated weapons in the snowflakes flying in the sky, and galloped out of Taiyuan Mansion on horses.

A line of soldiers and horses standing in the withered grass in the wilderness watched them.

"Master, shall we follow?" A soldier asked.

The housekeeper Jiang Hui twisted his beard: "No need, the news from the eldest lady says that Xiang Nan is near Yizhou, Yizhou and Xuanwudao have our people, and they can't turn over the storm when they get there." ”

As soon as he had spoken, a herd of horses came running in the snow, and the soldiers in the grass mounted their horses.

"The governor sent us the soldiers and horses according to the instructions of the eldest lady, so we will do our best then." Jiang Hui said, "We will calm the rebels nearby, we will protect the people, and we will check and control the roads on all sides." ”

This was obviously not the order of the eldest lady who asked him to guard the town manor and the rich and rich, and the soldiers and horses laughed in response.

"You can't even be as good as that kid in Zhongqi."

"Have you seen the letter written by Form 5? even boasted of being a small eight generals. ”

They laughed and urged their horses, their hooves neighed, and the people who traveled far away were drawn back by the noise to see a figure looming in the snow and mist, but still recognizable.

"It's the soldiers and horses of Jiannan Province." An entourage of the Xiang family said, "Now the eldest lady is leading the troops." ”

A smile appeared on the face of the other attendant: "Soon it will be the soldiers led by Nan Gongzi." ”

He said that he would raise his whip and urge his horse.

"Let's go!"

The horse's hooves galloped eastward in the snow, taking the big road through the small road, braving the wind and snow to clothe the night, passing through the small city adventure, the more difficult it was to walk, the more withered the cities and towns passed, more and more displaced people fled on the road, and the striking scene became more and more miserable.

The city is full of rebels, the wilderness is full of bandits, and everyone is running in panic, trying to escape to a place where they can live in peace.

Today, the four servants of the Xiang family settled in a city with high walls, but despite this, everyone was still vigilant when they fell asleep in the middle of the night, and when the first movement came from outside, the four of them turned over.

"There was a shaking on the ground."

"It's horses."

"There is a run at the gates, and the guards are going up to the city."

So there are rebels coming? The four of them hurried out of the inn, looking at the soldiers and horses running on the street, the whole town was alarmed, and the sound of fighting was heard outside the city gate.

"Don't be afraid, everyone! Not a siege! It was the rebels who were chasing the people. ”

"Only a dozen rebels!"

When the more accurate news came, the frightened people breathed a sigh of relief, but then they were sad, and the rebels were not happy news about the pursuit and killing of the people, but there were too many such things, and the sorrow was numb.

The city gate was never dared to be opened, even if there were thousands of guards in the city who were more than a dozen rebels, who knew if there were hundreds or even more people after those dozen rebels.

Those with high walls may not be able to stop it, and when the city gates are opened, there is no hope at all, all they can do is wait for the rebels to finish killing and leave, and go out to collect the bodies of these poor people.

The guards on the walls gritted their teeth and blocked their ears, but a moment later someone shouted.

"Bah, it's not the rebels who are slaughtering the homeless, it's the rebels who are besieging a person."

"The rebels still can't beat that man!"

Is it so powerful? The guards stood up in surprise and looked out of the city.
