"Lian Xian, do you have any good suggestions?" The ancestor looked at Lian Xian and asked.
"Our siege today is a good idea. Wait! If there is water in Xuancheng, then we will cut off their food and see how long they can defend it. At the same time, we will harass the defenders every day by shouting and cursing them. At night,
Then use the archers to shoot tens of thousands of surrender letters into the city, cholera the people's hearts, and the people in the city should at the same time incite the anger of the people, and the people's hearts can be used!" Lian Xian thought for a while, and said with confidence.
"Okay, okay, if you use the people's support and surround but don't fight, even if the Zhongfu doesn't move, the people won't be able to stand it anymore. Once they can't stand it, as long as someone incites it, these people will leave the city and even trigger a civil uprising in the city.
Even if we don't rush into Zhong Mansion, people will leave the city and Xuancheng will be destroyed. When the time comes, 800,000 troops will enter the city, and even if they fill it with people, they will be able to fill Zhongshan to death." The ancestor nodded and said with a smile.
Everyone nodded, but Eunuch Wei from the Su family's side shrank his pupils and nodded in agreement with everyone.
Troops were pressing down outside the city, but inside the city, at the Zhong Mansion, there were also bouts of conflict.
Outside the retreat courtyard of Zhongshan, a large number of archers were arranged by Yinglan. Yinglan looked at the twenty or so people in front of her with an angry look.
There were more than 20 people, all dressed in gorgeous clothes, but their expressions looked different. Some were more aggressive and shouted at Yinglan, while some were in agreement and seemed to follow the crowd. Of course, there were also some who looked at her with cold eyes.
Say nothing.
"Yinglan, why are you stopping here? You are just the grand-aunt of your adoptive father, and we are your uncles. Uncle, what do you want to do?" A fat man in the leader yelled angrily.
"It's urgent now. Except for those of us who came back, all the other brothers are dead. Do you want to wait until the army breaks through the city?" Another more radical man shouted.
"Uncles, uncles, listen carefully. I will say it again. My uncle is now in seclusion. Before the retreat, he told me that no one is allowed to disturb him. No one. Who dares to disobey? Also, you should all know that in this courtyard, except for my aunt,
Grandpa has given permission, and no one is allowed to take a step forward. Do you want to disobey grandpa's order?" Uncle Yinglan said, glaring at the group of uncles in front of her.
"Then it depends on when. Now that the army is approaching and the Zhong Mansion's life is at stake, what rules are there to talk about? My adoptive father doesn't know the current situation, otherwise, he will definitely come out. You are foolishly loyal. Not only does it delay my adoptive father's judgment,
It even pushed us to the point of death." The obese man shouted angrily again.
"Huh, Yu Zhong? What my uncle wants is Yu Zhong. I say it again, whoever dares to step into that line again, don't blame me for being rude." Yinglan said with a fierce look in her eyes.
"You're welcome? You yellow-haired girl, I watched you grow up, what's the matter? You are favored by your adoptive father, so you are proud of it?" the fat man said again.
"Archers, prepare. Anyone who dares to step into that line will be killed." Yinglan said fiercely. Even if these are the adopted sons of her great-uncle, Yinglan will not show mercy. For her great-aunt, Yinglan will even carry this murder on her back.
Uncle, the crime of parricide.
"Who dares to do that? Butler, where are you on?" the fat man said harshly.
The housekeeper shook his head, looked at the fat man with a grimace and said, "Master, just listen to the young lady. I told you that no one should disturb you."
"Humph, that's because you didn't notify your adoptive father that the soldiers were approaching. This conflict was entirely due to your failure to do things properly. If your adoptive father knew, how could he be in seclusion at this time? Today, we have broken through this door. I see what happened.
Who dares to shoot me?" the fat man said angrily.
He stepped forward and crossed the line, but the archer was also in a dilemma, not knowing whether to shoot or not.
Seeing the archer's hesitation, the fat man became even more proud. Some people behind him also followed him across the line and walked over together. Now, the archer was even more afraid to shoot.
Yinglan looked at the uncles who had crossed the forbidden line in front of her, and her eyes became even more angry. These archers could not be counted on.
"Yin~~"
Yinglan quickly pulled out a sword and stopped at the entrance of the small courtyard.
"No one is allowed to enter." Yinglan shouted again.
"Yin, Yin, Yin"
Following the fat man, two more people drew their swords and pointed at Yinglan.
"Yinglan, get out of the way quickly. This is a matter of life and death for the Zhong Mansion. It's no joke. Get out of the way. Otherwise, don't blame your uncle for being ruthless." The fat man said coldly.
"Yinglan, we are so loud, my foster father should have heard it a long time ago. Did something happen to my foster father? Why didn't his foster father come out? We have to go in today."
"While I'm here, no one is allowed in." Yinglan said coldly again, pointing her long sword directly at these former uncles and uncles.
The sword was on the verge of breaking out. Outside the Zhongshan retreat, there was an oppressive atmosphere that seemed to make everyone unable to breathe. Yinglan stared at this group of people. The long sword in her hand was raised, as if if they stepped on it again
If you take one step forward, it will be like life and death.
The scene is very depressing!
"The eldest young master is back, the eldest young master is back!" A long shout suddenly came from the distance. The voice was full of surprise.
Eldest young master? Which eldest young master?
Yinglan was stunned at first, and then her face lit up with joy.
Among the adopted sons, the obese man's expression changed, while the others also had different expressions.
The eldest young master? The eldest young master Zhong Tian, the eldest young master of the Zhong family who disappeared suddenly more than a year ago. Apart from Zhong Shan, he is the most powerful person in the Zhong family. Among all the adopted sons, the biggest adopted son is Zhong Tian.
Zhong Tian, Zhong Tian also just entered the city today and saw 800,000 troops outside. Something big happened in Zhong Mansion.
Without any hesitation, he quickly ran towards the Zhong Mansion. When he arrived at the gate of the Zhong Mansion, he saw all the secret whistles lined up around the Zhong Mansion. Something big must have happened.
A housekeeper happened to be standing at the door and he saw Zhong Tian at a glance. Zhong Tian looked much younger. But this housekeeper happened to know the young Zhong Tian, so he recognized him at a glance.
"Young Master," the butler immediately shouted in surprise. Naturally, the guard at the door did not dare to stop him.
"What happened at home?" Zhong Tianyi asked with a frown.
"Quick, quick, Miss Yinglan and the young gentlemen are going to fight in front of the master's retreat," the housekeeper said immediately.
"What's going on?" Zhong Tian asked as he walked away.
The butler didn't dare to hide anything and quickly told what happened.
When Zhong Tian walked to the courtyard, he happened to see a situation of tense situation. The housekeeper screamed and woke everyone up.
"You bastards, what are you doing?" Zhong Tian roared angrily.
Zhong Tian stared at this group of people with wide eyes.
"Big Brother" "Big Brother"...
The young masters immediately shouted timidly. Obviously, except for Zhong Shan, no one in the Zhong Mansion has as much prestige as Zhong Tian. Even Yinglan does not have this prestige.
"Don't you know where this place is? Who gave you the courage to break into the forbidden courtyard?" Zhong Tian glared at everyone.
"Uncle, you are back." Yinglan shouted immediately.
Turning to look at Yinglan, Zhong Tian thought about it in his memory and finally confirmed that she was Yinglan. After all, she was only a teenager when she saw Yinglan.
"Are you Yinglan? Well, you did a good job this time." Zhong Tian said immediately.
"Yeah" Yinglan just nodded, not too happy. After all, her great-aunt didn't come out, so nothing mattered.
"Brother, now the life and death of the Zhong Mansion is at stake. Our adoptive father is not here, so we have no choice." The fat man immediately stepped forward and said.
"As a last resort, huh, did my adoptive father tell you at the beginning that even if the sky falls, you are not allowed to enter this forbidden courtyard? Let me reflect on it carefully. Also, after half an hour, everyone will go to the 'Yilan Hall'.
"Zhong Tian said in a deep voice.
"Yes, brother." All the young masters could only nod.
After everyone left, Zhong Tian looked at Yinglan, smiled softly and said, "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. Yinglan has become a big girl. If you hadn't called me, I wouldn't have recognized her."
"Yes, I am getting older gradually, but my uncle and uncle are getting younger and younger." Yinglan immediately smiled. Since Zhong Tian said this just now, he was on the same line as himself, so naturally
Got a lot closer.
"Is your foster father okay now?" Zhong Tian asked, looking at the courtyard behind Yinglan.
"Grandpa suffered some skin trauma and is currently recovering. I told you before that no one is allowed to disturb you." Yinglan nodded.
"Well, you did very well before. Follow me to Yilan Hall later. Now tell me what's going on. I just came back and there are still many things I don't understand." Zhong Tian said.
"Okay" Yinglan said.
Zhong Tian nodded, then looked at the archers around him and said: "Remember, if someone comes again, no matter which young master it is, even me, as long as someone breaks into this line and shoots for me, no one will
I blame you. If you didn't stop the intruders, it would be your dereliction of duty. You know the rules of the Zhong Mansion."
"Yes" the archers responded in silence.
Now, after receiving the order from the eldest young master, who dares to hesitate any longer?
