After playing in the hot springs for a few days, the group headed back home.
The spies came with the news that the Prince of Ningguo Palace had arrived with food.
Jieshi County Government Office, Study Room.
Xiao Jiyuan pointed at the map and said to Xiao Yu: "I will lead the people from the Yumen Sect over here. Guo Zhanhe's men and horses must be separated when the time comes, otherwise the Yumen Sect will probably shrink back because there are too many people on the other side."
Xiao Yu nodded, "Don't worry about this. On the other side of Guo Zhanhe, Ping'an will go there in person. There are only five hundred people following the Ningguo Duke's Prince's grain team, but another thousand people will be dormant on both sides. However, you need to ensure that Yu
People from the sect will not check out the spots in advance."
Xiao Jiyuan smiled: "It's okay to visit the spot in advance. I'm not afraid of this. I can handle it."
As he spoke, he looked away from the map and looked at Xiao Yu, "Okay, that's it. I'll go to Ruyi Winery now, and then set off directly."
After saying that, Xiao Jiyuan turned and left.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Yu couldn't tell what he was feeling at this time, but he just blurted out something.
Xiao Jiyuan paused, turned back, raised his eyebrows, "Huh?"
Xiao Yu pursed her lips. The young prince, who had always been generous with his time, was acting like a little girl in his boudoir. He said, "Um, please pay attention to your safety."
Xiao Jiyuan curled up his lips and smiled, "Are you worried about me?"
Xiao Yu was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He immediately put on a handsome face and said, "Why are you worried about me?"
Xiao Jiyuan sighed, "Tsk~ If you don't worry, don't worry. I'm used to it too."
After saying that, he turned around and left with a sad and disappointed look on his face.
Xiao Yu clenched his hand.
Guo Zhanhe's men would be fine, but Xiao Yu was worried that at the scene, the Yumen Sect would discover Xiao Jiyuan's true purpose and kill him.
Seeing that Xiao Jiyuan was almost reaching the door, Xiao Yu couldn't hold it back and added, "Anyway, be careful and don't get hurt, otherwise... I won't let you see my mother!"
Xiao Jiyuan suppressed his laughter, paused for a moment, turned around, and said sadly: "I'm about to go, you... don't call me daddy?"
Xiao Yu's heart suddenly tightened.
Xiao Jiyuan was not in a hurry and stood there looking at him.
Xiao Yu only felt that his throat and eyes were tight. He had never been so nervous during the wedding night. He didn't know when the sweat on his palms appeared. Anyway, by the time he reacted, he was already sweating.
"I..." He spoke, his voice was dry because his throat was too tight, and the volume was very low. He cleared his throat, and felt that he was being too arrogant, and he looked a little angry, dumbfounded, and unhappy, "
Go and come back quickly!"
Xiao Jiyuan looked sad, opened his mouth, and turned his head bitterly.
The sour look on Xiao Yu's face when he turned his head made Xiao Yu's heart skip a beat. He didn't know what was wrong, so he opened his mouth and said, "Dad!"
Xiao Jiyuan turned his head and said, "You bastard!"
The corners of his mouth were clearly smiling, and his eyes were full of smiles.
Xiao Yu immediately realized that he had been tricked by this bad old man!
He immediately jumped up and said, "Why are you still playing tricks on your own son at such a young age?"
Xiao Jiyuan couldn't stop laughing, "Who made my son stupid!"
puff!
Ping An stood behind Xiao Yu, unable to hold back, he laughed out loud.
Xiao Yu turned around and glared at him. When he turned around again, Xiao Jiyuan was already gone.
Xiao Yu looked back at Ping An, "Why are you so bad and tricked me into calling him dad? Is there such a person to be a dad?"
Ping An is not a good person, "Don't you also scream happily? It looks like you are in a hurry!"
Xiao Yu:......
Hey, I have a bad temper. I can't beat dad, and I can't beat you like a bastard either.
The copyist slapped Ping An on the head.
Ping An screamed and ran out. Xiao Yu missed the target and could only grit his teeth and yell at Ping An's back, "Be smart, don't get hurt!"
A peaceful response floated in from afar, "Relax your mind! Wait for the harvest!"
...
Ruyi Winery.
When Xiao Jiyuan passed by with an anxious look on his face, the head of the Yumen Sect was arguing with his subordinates.
"Palace Master, there must be a fraud here. We heard it clearly at the door of the winery that day. The groom on the side of King Nanhuai said very clearly that King Nanhuai sent Xiao Jiyuan to deceive us. You can't
So impulsive."
"Yes, Palace Master, brothers went over there this morning to do some digging. Guo Zhanhe's people are ambushing there. This is obviously a trap, Palace Master!"
The Palace Master of the Yumen Sect looked at the subordinates in front of him with a cold face.
"If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you can leave on your own. There is no need to confuse the public with your lies here. What can King Nanhuai do to deceive us by setting this trap?"
"You can trick us into going there, and then meet Guo Zhanhe's soldiers and horses, and then both sides fight. Palace Master, the King of Nanhuai just wants us to consume each other and reap the benefits."
"What's the point of setting a trap? If we go over and find something wrong, we will retreat on the spot. Can Guo Zhanhe's soldiers and horses still run faster than you?
Furthermore, the news we received is that Guo Zhanhe is robbing the grain and grass from Ningguo Gongfu, and we are in Jieshi County. If we watch the Ningguo Gongfu being robbed of grain and grass without doing anything, can Ningguo Gongfu let us go?"
Regardless of whether what Xiao Jiyuan said is right or not, the Yumen Sect must take action, at least to show it to Duke Ningguo.
When the palace master said this, several of his subordinates had nothing to say.
One of them said aggrievedly: "We can go there first, but there is no need to fight hard. Duke Ningguo's mansion can't protect its own food, so there is no need for us to sacrifice our lives for them!"
"Of course I know this!" The palace owner waved his hand and was about to say more when he saw the door was pushed open and Xiao Jiyuan came in from the outside. He immediately greeted: "Brother Xiao!"
Several of her men looked back at Xiao Jiyuan with unkind expressions.
Xiao Jiyuan ignored the looks of others and hurried forward with a panic look on his face, "Pei'er, the eldest son of Duke Ning is being held captive by Guo Zhanhe! Xiao Yu wants to use the eldest son of Ning Guo to negotiate with Ning Guo and push north! Guo Zhanhe's
Soldiers and horses are ambushing you on the road now, you must not go!"
Several of his men were stunned.
ah?
Weren't you the one who encouraged our palace master to go?
Why are you now urging us, the Palace Master, not to go?
These subordinates always felt that Xiao Jiyuan was not well-intentioned, and immediately thought in the opposite direction of Xiao Jiyuan.
The palace owner said to Xiao Jiyuan: "Are you sure? It was the prince of Duke Ning who was taken into custody by Guo Zhanhe?"
Xiao Jiyuan nodded, "It's absolutely true. I heard it outside Xiao Yu's study. I didn't have time to think about it and ran over to give you the news. I'm afraid I've been exposed to Xiao Yu and I can't go back. But I
I also have some people in my hands, and I’m ready to give it a try!”
Xiao Yu and the others went to the hot spring village and met the bandits, but the head of the Yumen sect had already received the news about the bandits being recruited inexplicably.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Jiyuan, "Who do you have?"
Xiao Jiyuan said: "I won't be able to explain this for a while. Anyway, my people are absolutely reliable, and they all have some abilities. I want to take them to save the eldest son of Duke Ning, and I must not let him fall into Xiao Yu's hands."
, even if he dies, he can’t fall into Xiao Yu’s hands, Pei’er, please leave quickly!”
After Xiao Jiyuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
"Wait!" The Palace Master of the Yumen Sect immediately called him, "I'll go with you."
"No!" Xiao Jiyuan objected firmly, "It's too dangerous. Guo Zhanhe's soldiers and horses are ambushing you over there. Xiao Yu has arranged a thousand troops and horses on both sides of the road. You can't go. Our son is gone. You can't go there.
Die!"
Xiao Jiyuan finished speaking decisively, raised his feet and left.
"etc!"
The Palace Master of the Yumen Sect called him from behind, but Xiao Jiyuan did not stop and left the courtyard in a blink of an eye.
The Palace Master of the Yumen Sect immediately called to his men, "What are you doing standing still? Let's go!"
