Talking about it, the mourning hall has been decorated. The entire Cai Mansion is decorated in black and white, which makes people feel lifeless. Most of the servants don't know about Taitian's robbery. Cai Yan is a smart man and knows what to do when.
In the early morning, there was silence in the inner city, but Cai Yan couldn't feel the peace. He was so panicked, and a little restless and uneasy. A pair of small hands grabbed the skirt of his clothes, and his knuckles turned white. Although he pretended to be calm, there was just an unconcealable look in his eyes.
Anxiety betrayed her current state of mind.
"Xin'er, do you think they will succeed?" From time to time, you can hear Cai Yan smelling the maid beside him.
"Miss, don't worry, you will definitely do it. I heard from Wang Shuang that that man is the famous Marquis of Wu and the General of the Southern Conquest. He has never been defeated on the battlefield. As long as he is here, the master will be fine.
..." The pretty maid sat next to Cai Yan, constantly comforting her and trying to stabilize Cai Yan's mood.
"Maybe..." Cai Yan nodded, but her expression was a little helpless. She had no idea what General Zhengnan was like. The battle at Hulao Pass and the war in Jiangdong were too far away for a writer and musician.
, and I don’t have much idea about it, but there are too many legends about Tianlao in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties due to its strictness. Born in a scholarly family, the fear of the army is not as great as that of Tianlao.
Cai An is also busy. The funeral must be arranged, and he is not stupid. At this time, no matter what, even if the master is rescued, he must not make it public. The Cai family is usually very kind to his family, but there is no guarantee that this place will be safe.
There is nothing arranged by others. Compared to Cai Yan, he has more confidence in Taitian.
Ever since he knew Taitian's identity, he was very confident about the success of this prisoner robbery. Unlike Cai Yan, who stayed away from home all day long, as the housekeeper of Cai Mansion, he had a thorough understanding of many situations in the outside world.
General Zhengnan, this official position is not prestigious for the Cai family, but the current owner is very impressive. The battle of Hulao Pass turned the tide. After Hua Xiong was seriously injured, he single-handedly led the army to fight against the millions of coalition forces of the princes who took turns attacking for three days.
, and persisted until reinforcements arrived.
After returning to Jiangdong, Yuan Shu suffered a lot of losses. Who was Yuan Shu? The fourth generation of the Three Dukes, or his legitimate son, he ruled hundreds of cities and had millions of soldiers, but he continued to suffer losses from Taitian. In the end, not only
He lost his army and lost his generals, and even had to pay a large sum of money to redeem his life. He was reduced to a laughing stock in Chang'an and even among the princes.
After that, they fought in all directions. In one year, Wu County, which was not even a complete county at the beginning, expanded to three counties, and defeated two princes in a row. Such a record, let alone a small Tianlao, if
With enough troops, he believed that Chang'an could be captured.
The Heavenly Prison may be scary to these civil servants who have no military power, but it is nothing to people like Tai Tian.
With this in mind, he arranged the funeral in an orderly manner, but secretly cursed Wang Tu in the city to be killed. Such a person has the nerve to live in the world and does not feel ashamed.
"Miss, everything is ready. You go and have a rest, and leave the rest to me..." Cai An came to Cai Yan's side and said respectfully. At the same time, he whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Forget it.
Counting the time, it’s time for General Zhengnan to come back.”
"Huh?." Cai Yan was a little confused at first, so she realized later that she was being asked to go back to the inner courtyard to have a look. After all, even if Qin Tian rescued the person, he couldn't walk in from the main entrance openly. In that case, he probably wouldn't need to do it tomorrow.
, within an hour at most, Wang Yun will lead a large group of troops to completely surround the Cai Mansion.
"Uncle An is here for you..." With a hint of fatigue and despair on his face, Cai Yan nodded and his helpless back slowly disappeared in the night, making the servants in the hall feel extremely sad.
The candlelight in the inner courtyard turned on at some unknown time, and in the room that originally belonged to Cai Pa, a figure seemed to be flashing. Cai Yan's originally fearful and uneasy heart suddenly became excited, and his pace also accelerated a lot.
The pretty maid Xin'er also noticed this and followed Cai Yan closely.
"Miss, is this the master?..." Xin'er asked in a low voice with a hint of anxiety and excitement.
"I don't know, I didn't see the three of them..." Cai Yan shook his head, but his beautiful eyes lacked the usual calmness and wisdom, as if he was a little girl with expectations.
"It must be, let me tell you, that General Zhengnan is a capable person..." Xin'er said with some excitement as she walked.
"Didn't you say they were not good people two days ago?..."
"Uh... Yes, he is not a good person, but he is a capable person!..." Xin'er argued forcefully...
Cai Yan shook his head, but after such an interruption, the tension and anxiety in his heart also dissipated a lot. He had already arrived in front of the door, but he hesitated, and finally opened the door and looked inside.
The charcoal fire in the room was crackling. Taitian and Zhang Xiu, as if they were two innocent people, were admiring the layout of the room and some calligraphy and paintings on the wall. They were all authentic works by Cai Pa and were of great artistic value. It was hard to come in.
It’s natural to take a good look at it.
There was a figure lying on the bed. His eyes fell on that figure. Cai Yan's delicate body trembled. He breathed a sigh of relief and was a little nervous at the same time.
"Here we come..." Qin Tian looked back at the master and servant and said casually.
"My father..." When he got to the bed, he discovered a faint blue mark on Cai Pa's neck. Tai Tian acted with discretion and only made Cai Pa temporarily unconscious, but only this blue mark could not
Cai Yan's heart suddenly tightened.
"It's okay, I just fainted temporarily. As you know, it's troublesome for an old man to be stubborn, and he doesn't have much time to reason with him, so we have to knock him out first and then bring him back. It's very convenient..." Taitian didn't care.
Shrugging, he continued to appreciate the calligraphy and painting.
"You... are rude!" Cai Yan glanced at Tai Tian angrily, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is this considered burning the bridge?" Taitian asked instead without getting angry.
"Of course it doesn't count..." Before Cai Yan could say anything, Xin'er jumped out and said confidently: "My lady is naturally grateful to you for rescuing the master, but for your such rude behavior, you should naturally be criticized.
So that you don’t make the same mistake next time, say, who hit you?”.
"It's me..." Taitian looked at the arrogant little girl funny.
"You..." Facing Taitian, the little girl lost her temper. She got a lot of information from the housekeeper Cai An. The man in front of her seemed harmless, but he had no idea how many lives he had contaminated in his hands.
The girl suddenly became sullen, hummed a few times, stopped talking, and ran to Cai Yan, pouting her little mouth and sulking.
"General, please don't blame me. Xin'er is also concerned about my father's safety, and she was a bit unscrupulous at the moment. I would like to thank you two for your generous help. I have offended you many times before, and I hope you will forgive me..." Cai Yan came to Taitian and was deeply moved.
The land is blessed.
"With a little effort, my enmity with Wang Yun is even greater. If I can make him unhappy, I will be happy. Moreover, Cai Weng said that he still has this kind of guidance for me. Cai people don't need to take it to heart..." Qin Tian said.
He waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "The next thing is a bit troublesome. Wang Yun will still come here if he can't find anyone. He needs to make preparations in advance, but it won't be too bad. This is just a small thing. It may make things difficult for him.
But it will never be too much. He also has to consider the attitude of the people in the court. After all, it will not harm his wife and children. Cai Weng is a famous scholar. Cai Weng was imprisoned before and many people were dissatisfied. If he openly deals with the lady, I don’t see the need for an army outside the city.
Even the spittle of the ministers in the court can drown him."
"General is really..." Cai Yan didn't know how to describe it. What he said made sense, but the words... Now that Qin Tian was kind to her, it was hard to say anything vulgar, even if Tai Tian didn't
Even though she didn't care, she couldn't lose her etiquette and was speechless for a moment.
"Go, if anything happens, I will help you find a way to deal with it..." Taitian waved his hand.
Cai Yan was about to nod, but then she realized that this was her home, and the other party actually ordered her to be kicked out!
"Uh..." Taitian also reacted and smiled awkwardly: "It seems I should leave."
"Haha." Seeing Tai Tian leave speechlessly, a charming smile appeared on Cai Yan's face, as if he had support in his heart, like a backbone in this chaotic time.
In the courtyard, outside the bamboo house built by Taitian, Taitian and Zhang Xiu sat opposite each other. The two of them had a brazier in front of them. From time to time, they threw in a piece of firewood. Occasionally, there was an explosion, and sparks popped out of it. There was a fire coming from inside.
Cai Ba shouted angrily in a low voice. It seemed that the old man had woken up. He couldn't bear to be robbed and went home to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Lord, what should we do next? It seems that it is unlikely that the army from outside will enter the city in a short period of time..." After a while, Zhang Xiucai said, now he has no worries, plus he and Tai Tian
They got along so well that they simply recognized Tai Tian as their lord. After the affairs in Chang'an were over, they prepared to return to Jiangdong with Tai Tian.
"Don't worry, there are only 50,000 or 60,000 regular troops in the city. Although some militiamen can defend the city, facing millions of Xiliang warriors, it would be impossible for them to defend the city for so long..." Taitian shook his head.
, I have been thinking about this matter for the past two days.
"Then why..." Zhang Xiu frowned.
"On the issue of power distribution, who is in charge and who is in charge? Originally, Li Ru had the highest official position and he should be in charge. However, including Hua Xiong and Xu Rong, the manpower is only 20,000, and Li Jue, Guo Ji, Fan Chou
There are millions of Xiliang troops in their hands. In this case, without Dong Zhuo, Li Ru and others cannot suppress them. Unless they use thunderous means to kill these people, Xu Rong and Hua Xiong are among the Xiliang troops.
The prestige can also be used to gather soldiers for his own use..." Tai Tiandao said, he has already contacted Jia Xu through Luo Yun and received Jia Xu's on-demand broadcast, and he has a clear view of this matter.
"Then we just keep waiting like this?" Zhang Xiu frowned.
"It won't be too long..." Qin Tian shook his head and said: "The army's food and grass can only last for two months. Now they are just blinded by profit. When the food and grass are almost exhausted, they will naturally try their best to attack Chang'an. Otherwise, they will try their best to attack Chang'an."
, no matter who gets the power, in the end, everything will be empty without food and grass.” (To be continued.
