Chapter Seventy-Eight: Finally Nothing Happens
Chun Ying almost thought they were exposed, and her heartbeat almost stopped, but then, the spear head and blade that stabbed through several other gaps rekindled her hope.
Those guns and knives stabbed a few times, and then changed to other stabs, and the sound of metal and mountain stones rubbing and colliding came and went. Hou Ye was startled at first, and when he saw that none of those knives and guns had stabbed any foreign objects, he laughed angrily: "It's really eye-opening!" The people brought by the Taishi not only stabbed my house, but also didn't let go of the mountain in the garden, dare to love the person you want to find has become my mountain, and if you poke it, you will scream?! ”
Taishi watched the movements of the soldiers with a calm face, and then looked up at the bamboo house that had been demolished, and squeezed out a smile: "Li Hou said that he laughed, you must know that your mansion has been beautiful for hundreds of years, and I often hear that those people who have a long history always like to cultivate some secret passages and secret rooms at home, especially in the rockery or bedroom, where important belongings and documents are put in...... Of course, this is all rumor from the outside, but I am quite interesting to see this mountain, so I have this idea. Li Hou can't be misunderstood! I am also dedicated to sharing worries for the emperor! ”
"Hahaha-" Hou Ye laughed a few times mockingly, "Our Hou Mansion has always been loyal to the emperor, and those unsightly secret rooms that are specially used to store secrets are ...... It is built by people who have ghosts in their hearts! But...... Taishi seems to be familiar with it, huh? Could it be that Taishi also has this kind of thing built at home? That's right! I heard that there is also a large rockery in the garden of the Taishi Mansion, or the Taihu Lake Stone specially transported from thousands of miles, which is beautiful...... Presumably there is some unspeakable mystery in it? ”
"Haha." Taishi Liang laughed dryly, "Li Hou is really good at laughing......"
"Who's laughing?!" Hou Ye suddenly lowered his face and interrupted his words, "According to the Taishi, you can't find anyone here, so you're going to stab a knife and gun into my bedroom?!" Hum...... If I really let you do this, Ming'er won't have the face to go out to meet people! My grandparents will disturb me when they are under the spring! He turned to the officer and said coldly, "Are you done searching?!" When you're done, get out of here with your soldiers! Leave your name, Ming'er, I will ask your superiors and ask him how he disciplines his subordinates! ”
The officer smiled contemptuously at the soldier. He made a gesture: "Get some torches!" I don't believe where he can escape! ”
Hou Ye's face darkened, and at this time, Li Youshang. A step forward, a word was whispered in his ear, and he sneered and said, "I see...... Taishi, is this your nephew? I heard that he only received a spare position in the military department, but I don't know when he became a general? And you came to my house and set it on fire? It's so imposing! ”
"Hehehe......" Taishi Liang stroked his beard with a look. was a little reluctant, "Shan'er is young and vigorous, and it is inevitable that she will be negligent in etiquette, which makes Li Hou smile." He glanced at his nephew, suggesting that he should not overdo it. But Liang Shan hesitated, as if he didn't want to listen, paced to Taishi Liang's side, lowered his voice and whispered: "Uncle, we have already done this step, if we can't find anyone, we can't explain to anyone!" The spies had made sure that before we came, they were in the house at the bottom of the mountain, and the spy who had just been guarding the other gate also reported that he had not gone out, and that he had nowhere else to hide but from this mountain! Master Liang was silent.
Hou Ye was a little anxious, since he couldn't find Zhou Nian, he must be hiding in. The secret chamber on the side of the mountain went to it. It was originally a secret place that an ancestor dug up to collect his belongings in the early years, and then found a better place, so he abandoned it, and he told Zhou Nian there, just in case, but he didn't know if there would be anything wrong with hiding there, whether it would be stuffy with people, and he was more worried that if Liang Shan really asked someone to set fire, would he force Zhou Nian out, and he had to find a way to drive these people away as soon as possible!
He glanced at the other officer who was following behind him, and suddenly had an idea: "Yu. General Tai...... If I'm not mistaken, it seems that your duty is to guard the Imperial Family...... I didn't expect you to become the private of Taishi Liang, as soon as he gave the order, you abandoned the emperor's trust and led the troops to my mansion to set fire to kill people? ”
The officer's face was a little unsightly, and when he heard this, he was even more solemn: "Li Hou Mo wants to say that the last general was only ordered to escort the Qin Messenger to announce the decree, how could there have been murder and arson?" He glanced at Liang Shan: "Lord Xiao Liang made up for the military position, and the last general didn't know about it in advance, let alone why he brought people here...... However, Lord Xiaoliang did not kill anyone. ”
Hou Ye sneered: "If it weren't for the cowardice of my family's servants, wouldn't you think he would kill him?" General Tantai and look! I don't have anyone he is looking for, but he wants to search, and if he can't find it here, he will break into the courtyards and disturb his relatives, and if he encounters a man who is tall, short, fat and thin, even if it is my son or nephew, he will arrest me and say that he is a criminal, and then accuse me of harboring, and maybe claim that person is a thief! Without waiting for the emperor to know, he killed in the name of the thief trying to escape, and now there is no proof of death, and my whole family is even guilty of complicity and rebellion! I don't understand, when the Taishi entered the door, he clearly said that he was here to make amends, but he wanted to pay for the lives of more than 500 members of my family...... Maybe it's just to give my nephew a credit so that he can become a general? He glanced lightly at General Tantai: "The general is young and promising, I thought you could resist temptation and serve the emperor loyally...... I didn't expect you to be like that...... The Taishi gave the order, and you took the sergeant to serve him, and sat back and watched a person with no merit leading the troops, if one day, the Taishi's order was contrary to the emperor's order...... I don't know how the general will choose? ”
These words were too damning, and Taishi Liang's face darkened: "Li Hou said carefully! My whole family is loyal to the emperor, how can there be a day when it goes against the emperor's order?! I couldn't help but scold in my heart.
"Oh? Really?! The Hou Ye turned around and smiled at him, "Today, the Taishi came to announce the decree, and the emperor rewarded him with countless rewards, which shows his intentions...... Isn't this contrary to the emperor's mandate? ”
General Shantai looked at Li Hou, then at Liang Taishi and Liang Shan, and then at the devastated bamboo house, and sighed in his heart, he was being used, but he didn't know if it would affect his future, so he could only hope to make amends: "Taishi, the holy decree has been read out, and the rewards have been distributed, you should also go home, right?" He arched his hand towards Taishi Liang, "The last general will go back to the guard to change shifts." ”
Liang Taishi frowned slightly, and Liang Shan sneered: "Tangtai Minghao, are you afraid?" If you don't have the guts, don't come and lead the troops! ”
Minghao was very angry in his heart, but because of the great power of the Taishi, he held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "Please be cautious!" ”
Hou Ye's heart moved, and he said to Liang Shan: "General Lantai has killed countless enemies in the frontier, and his military exploits are brilliant, Lord Xiaoliang is used to the prosperity of Beijing, if you want to say this kind of thing to General Lantai, you might as well go to the frontier for a few years of training first?" ”
This time it was Liang Shan's turn to be furious: "...... you" Liang Taishi stretched out his hand to block him, glanced at the soldier who was waiting for orders with torches, and then looked at the Hou Ye with a calm face, and even the little son with an angry face behind him just looked at the bamboo house distressedly, thinking that this child just said that the bamboo house and the house under the mountain were cleaned by him to prepare for the summer, and he was moving in to live in a little bit, which seemed to be somewhat credible. Their expressions hinted that they weren't worried about burning the mountain at all, they just felt ashamed. It made him uncertain. I'm afraid he really pounced this time, didn't he say that the spy had exposed his whereabouts? It must be the Li family who transferred Zhou Nian elsewhere!
He has been in the court for many years, although there are many times when things are good, the city government still has them, and he showed a kind smile at the moment: "This is all a misunderstanding...... Misunderstand! Li Hou Mo wants to be angry, everyone is just thinking about the emperor. Then he turned back to his nephew: "Collect the team and go back......
"Uncle!"
"Say no more!" He sank his face, and for the first time felt that this nephew was useless, "I can't find anyone like this, what else do you want?!" ”
Liang Shan looked angry, but he didn't have the courage to disobey this high-ranking uncle, so he had to wave to the soldiers: "Let's go!" A soldier asked blankly, "My lord, what about this fire ......?" he kicked him far away, and the torch in his hand fell into the weeds on the side of the mountain wall, and suddenly burst into flames. Li You's face changed, and he took a step forward, and Hou Ye stroked his beard Shi Shiran turned around, just blocking his youngest son. Li You immediately calmed down.
Taishi Liang glanced at the Li family's father and son again, and saw that there was no trace of anxiety on their faces, and he was even more sure that the person was no longer here, so he glared at the spy fiercely, and left with his nephew and others.
Minghao gratefully hugged his fist to Hou Ye, and also took the soldiers down the mountain.
Li You immediately turned around and ran towards the mountain wall, but was caught by his father: "Don't be impatient!" Glancing in the direction of the back door of the garden, there were already a few servants gathered there, and even if Taishi Liang left behind, he would be quickly driven away. He turned to the servant who had come with him on the mountain: "Go and inquire everywhere if anyone is hurt and what else has been destroyed!" The two servants answered, and there was only one left, and the Hou Ye commanded: "Go and see the house under the mountain, how many things have been broken!" The man asked: "Master Hou, this bamboo house is ......" "It's all broken like this, I have to rebuild it later, you go, I will call someone to put out the fire when I turn back!" "Yes." The man also left.
Li You looked at the weeds that the fire gradually spread to the stone steps, and even burned to the bamboo house, his heart was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly, and when his father took everyone away, and Liang Taishi and others also went out of the gate of the Hou Mansion far away, he shouted at Sanqing: "Save people!" ”
Chun Ying and Zhou Nian hid in the mountain wall, originally in order to avoid knives and guns, they retreated to the center of the secret room, and when the fire broke out, thick smoke poured in from the crack in the mountain, quickly filling most of the space. Chun Ying hurriedly retreated to the place where the smoke had not yet spread, took a big breath, and pulled Zhou Nian over.
Zhou Nian raised his sleeves to cover his nose, but he couldn't help it, Chun Ying heard that the people outside hadn't left yet, so he hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth and nose. Zhou Nian also knew that it was a critical moment, so he forced the urge to cough, and after a while, his face gradually turned red, until he heard the footsteps of the team leaving, and only then did he pull Chunying's hand, cover his mouth with his sleeve and cough quietly, the cigarette choked into his nostrils, and tears flowed out.
Chunying was also not happy, her eyes were red, and she was still wondering in her heart that everyone outside had left, why didn't Hou Ye call someone to put out the fire? At this time, there was the sound of Hou Ye taking people away from outside, she was a little enlightened, but she was also very anxious, and finally waited for the entrance of the mountain wall to open again, and then hurriedly rushed over: "Brother Nian, come quickly, this way!" "I quickly took a breath of fresh air.
Sanqing's face appeared outside the entrance, and when he saw that they were fine, he grinned and pushed the mountain stone away a little more. Chunying wanted to rush out first, but seeing that Zhou Nian was choked badly, she hurriedly turned around and pulled him to the door, pushed him out of the secret room, and then followed.
Li You saw Chunying and was relieved: "You girl finally didn't disappoint me!" He helped Zhou Nian again: "Are you choking badly?" Father and I are afraid that people will find out, so we have delayed saving you, so please don't blame you. ”
Zhou Nian coughed and said with a smile: "If it weren't for the Hou Ye and you to report the news, I am afraid that my life would have been lost, how could I blame you?" I would like to thank you for saving my life. ”
Chunying pouted in the back, thinking that she was climbing the wall and running wildly, tired and half dead, how could Zhou Nian forget her?
As soon as her spirit was relieved, she found that there were several abrasions on her body, which hurt hotly, and the original brand new dress was torn in a few places, and it was stained with mud, which was quite embarrassing.
Hou Ye looked at the bottom of the mountain vigilantly, and said in a low voice: "Okay, gossip and don't mention it, Sanqing quickly put out the fire, Zisi temporarily hid in the bamboo house, and then went down when the people under the mountain dispersed." If this happens, I'm afraid that the house will have to be rectified, and I will find another safe place as soon as possible and let Zisi move. I'm afraid I can't live in the mountain house anymore! ”
Li You and Zhou Nian nodded, and then took action. Chunying opened her mouth and wanted to ask herself what to do, but Li You turned around and smiled at her: "You can come too, and then go back with me later, and you have to talk about it first!" ”
