Chapter 253: War Breaks Out

Seeing this, the old woman happily put away the silver ticket and said, "Then thank you Madame for the reward." ”

I smiled and got up and got out of bed, but the old woman stopped me at once, "Well, ma'am, where are you going?" It's not early at this hour, and it will be dark in a while, and Madame looks like such a flower, if she meets a bad person, what should I do? ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I'll be fine, but I must go back today, can you help me find a carriage."

The old woman thought for a moment, "I'm afraid it's hard to find a carriage in this wilderness...... Oh yes! I remembered that the old Zhang family in the west of the village seemed to have a carriage, so I went to ask, I don't know where you are going, madam? ”

I took her hand, took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into her, and said, "Mother-in-law, you take this, it's so late, I'm afraid that people don't like to go, it can be more convenient with silver, I want to go to the Yuan Mansion in Xuyu City." ”

The old woman was startled, and hurriedly returned the silver in her hand to me, and said, "Madame, why are you going?" Yuan's Mansion has not been peaceful these days, the emperor has arrested General Yuan and the two sons, and the whole Yuan Mansion has been imprisoned, saying that they collaborated with the enemy and treason, and now no one dares to admit that they know the people of Yuan's Mansion, they can hide as far as they can, madam, you still don't want to go. Besides, even if you give money, no one dares to go to Yuan's mansion, isn't that dead. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "I see, then you can help me rent a carriage, as long as I can return to Xuyu City." ”

The old woman thought for a moment, took the money, and said, "Well, madam, you wait here first, and I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

I watched the old woman go out, and I was very upset, I don't know what is the situation of the eldest brother and them now, although I am here now, but how can I meet the emperor, and after seeing the emperor, how can I persuade the emperor to let them go? I really don't know what to do, and now my mind is in a mess.

After a while, the old woman came back and said, "Madame, the carriage is ready, and it is waiting outside." ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

The old woman suddenly stopped me and said, "Madame, wait," she said, took out a piece of white yarn from the box and handed it to me, "Put it on, be safe, General Yuan's child can't be fine." ”

I looked at her in shock, a hint of wariness in my eyes.

The old woman explained: "Don't hide it from Madame, my dead old man once received the favor of General Yuan, and my son's life was also saved by General Yuan from the battlefield, but unfortunately my son still has no blessings, and it will be gone within a few years after his return." Some time ago, the emperor arrested Yuan Dagongzi, saying that he collaborated with the enemy and treason, and later General Yuan and the second prince were also arrested, and Yuan's house was raided, but my wife believes that General Yuan is definitely not a bad person, and General Yuan's two sons are definitely not bad people. ”

"Then how do you know that I am from the Yuan Mansion?"

The old woman took my hand and said, "I didn't know at first, but just now you said that you were going to Yuan's Mansion, and after I went out, I thought that there was a very beautiful young lady in Yuan's Mansion as I walked, and she was the first beauty of our Yaoyan, and later married Mingne." Now everyone avoids the people of the Yuan Mansion, but you are going to the Yuan Mansion, I guessed that you are the third lady of the Yuan Mansion. General Yuan has a great kindness to my family, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Yuan San this time, and God arranged for my wife to repay General Yuan. ”

I no longer doubted, took the white veil and put it on my face, "Thank you, mother-in-law." ”

When I went out, I saw a middle-aged man standing next to the carriage, looking like an honest farmer. The old woman put me in the car, took my hand and said, "Madam, be careful all the way, if you have something, you can come back here at any time to ask my old lady Zhang for help." ”

I nodded, the carriage started slowly, and Granny Zhang stood there and watched me leave, if my father knew that the people trusted him so much, he would also feel very relieved!

The carriage staggered for more than two hours, and at last it reached the outside of the city, and it was getting dark, when the coachman suddenly reined in the carriage so hard that I almost crashed into the carport. "Big brother, what's wrong?"

The coachman said apologetically, "Madam, I'm really sorry, I'm not hurt, are you?" ”

"It's fine."

"That's fine, but I can't get through the front, it seems like there is going to be a war, and a lot of soldiers are gathered outside the gate of the Void City!"

I was shocked in my heart, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to look, and sure enough, there were many soldiers densely lined up in front of the city gate, such a huge team, it seems that there are estimated to be more than ten or two hundred thousand people, and all of Yaoyan's troops add up to only 130,000, and now there should be more than these gathered in front of the gate, what happened?

"Big brother, do you know which country's army this is?"

The coachman shook his head and said, "I don't know, there were no soldiers when I came out of the city this day, I don't know when they came." ”

I looked at the army not far away, because the sky was too dark, I couldn't really see their costumes, but I always felt that the clothes of these soldiers were a little familiar, and suddenly the flag in front of the team was raised high, as if it was going to attack the city, and I saw the appearance of this banner clearly, the phoenix was reborn from the fire, fluttering its wings and soaring, it was the banner of the Mingne Dynasty.

My brain suddenly exploded, how could this be, why didn't I hear that they were going to attack Yaoyan in Mingni?

"Big brother, just put me in front, hurry up and go home!"

This honest and simple coachman was a little worried about my safety, "Madam, now that the army is in chaos, you should not enter the city alone, go back to the village with me to avoid it first, and it will not be too late to come back when the war has subsided!" ”

I looked at the high walls in the distance, "My home is there, and my relatives are there." It's okay big brother, just put me in the woods in front of you close to the city wall in a while, hurry up and go home, if the Void City falls, let the people in the village run for their lives quickly! ”

The coachman said with some excitement: "Madam, I'll send you into the city!" ”

I saw that the city wall was already close in front of me, and before he could finish speaking, I jumped out of the carriage, "Big brother, go back quickly, I have a way to protect myself, but I can't keep you safe when you're here." ”

The coachman replied: "Then take care of your wife, I have a dagger here, give it to your wife for self-defense!" ”

I took it, and though it was just an ordinary dagger, it was enough to defend myself, and I thanked him, and the coachman drove away in his carriage.

I slowly approached the edge of the woods, and watched as the gate of the Void City opened, and a man galloped on a good horse, it was Daddy!
