Motuo led the men and rushed forward. It was getting dark and the horseshoe marks on the ground were about to disappear. Motuo continued to urge the horse forward anxiously. He wanted to find Mo Zheng immediately and bring him back to the clan. If it was too late, he might be afraid of the clan members.
Things have changed.
Motuo was thinking about it, when suddenly a horse-trapping rope appeared silently in front of his eyes, causing Motuo and his horse to fly out immediately.
"There is an ambush." Motuo's guard pulled out the long knife from his waist.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of men in black emerged from the surroundings and ran toward Motuo.
Motuo's eyes jumped. He had been fooled. Someone deliberately lured him here just to intercept and kill him here.
…
Patriarch Mo has not rested yet and has been waiting for news.
Mo Zhe stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice: "Father, please rest in peace. I will keep an eye on this place. If there is any movement, I will report it to my father."
"I always feel uneasy," Patriarch Mo said. "Mo Zheng's riding skills are far inferior to his father. If Mo Tuo hadn't looked in the wrong direction, he should have found the person by now.
I feel uneasy if Motuo doesn't come back. I can't lead the clan to face the enemy. The younger generation of the clan respects Motuo and he is indispensable in the clan."
"I am so useless," Mo Zhe said, "I can only watch helplessly at this time."
Patriarch Mo shook his head: "I can't blame you. You are born with a weaker body and bones than your elder brother. You have worked hard, but you are better at reading and literacy than your elder brother. In the future, when your elder brother becomes the clan leader, you will help the Haixi clan prosper.
."
"Father," Mo Zhe thought of something, "Sir Song, will they really help us? They don't have many soldiers and horses. If there is a big movement here, will they abandon us?"
Patriarch Mo didn't think twice: "They will help."
Mo Zhe was still puzzled: "Why? The Great Zhou court has never been close to our Nuergan. Not many people really want Nuergan to fully integrate into the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Beishan tribe is even more determined to break away from the Great Zhou court and stand on its own. Is it possible?
It’s really like the rumors outside…”
Mo Zhe did not continue.
Patriarch Mo asked: "What are the rumors talking about?"
Mo Zhe said: "It is rumored that Marquis An Yi got a lot of benefits from our Haixi, and it was through this that you, father, became the clan leader of Haixi."
Patriarch Mo had a complicated look on his face when he heard this. He turned to look at Mo Zhe: "You think this way too?"
Mo Zhe immediately shook his head: "I'm just afraid that people will be upset at this time. If you are prepared, you can stabilize the situation at the critical moment. They all say that my father will leave a sum of money every year, which is for the Xu family of Anyi Hou."
, I have also seen my father order his cronies to bring things out of the clan..."
Patriarch Mo looked at his son with burning eyes: "You know everything?"
Mo Zhe nodded.
Patriarch Mo closed his eyes and finally sighed after a long while: "There are some things that I originally thought I would tell you brothers in a few years, but now it seems... I'm afraid I have to let you know in advance."
Mo Zhe pursed his lips and couldn't bear to see his father's embarrassed look: "Father, it's better not to say anything. Sons shouldn't ask."
"No, it's time to tell you," Patriarch Mo said, "I do leave a sum of money every year, but it's not for Marquis An Yi. I hide the money in a safe place.
No one knows except me and the loyal servants around me.
We cannot use it unless absolutely necessary."
After Patriarch Mo finished speaking, he ordered Mo Zhe to get the map: "That sum of money is..."
Mo Zhe listened and went over.
…
In the guardhouse.
Mr. Yu Er was still waiting for news. Finally, a messenger came, and soon the deputy general of the guard knocked on Mr. Yu Er's door.
Mr. Yu Er pretended to have just stood up and came out with his coat on.
"Master Yu," said the deputy general of the Guard, "I just heard the news that Deputy General Fan and the three brothers from the Hu family returned to the Haixi tribe together, and the remnants of King Jian were found there."
Master Yu Er opened his eyes wide: "Is there such a thing? Then you must inform Mr. Li Xu immediately."
The deputy general nodded: "Should we make some preparations in case something happens over there..."
"That's natural," Mr. Yu Er paused slightly after saying this, "but I am not the person in charge of Liaodong Dusi. I should ask the commander to make a decision."
The deputy general understood: "The commander has sent news two days ago. The commander asked Master Yu to come and help train the troops. He asked us to follow Master Yu's arrangements and obey the authority in urgent matters. Why don't we report to the commander at the same time?
Be on guard."
Two days after the Yu family arrived at the guard station, the commander sent a document. The lieutenant general, who had been in contact with the Yu family in the past, was completely relieved after seeing the document.
The commanders all supported Mr. Yu Er, so what else were they afraid of?
Master Yu Er nodded, and the deputy general immediately went down to make arrangements.
Mr. Yu Er quickly walked into the house, and Mrs. Yu Er immediately greeted him: "Master..."
Mr. Yu Er said: "Bring the armor, there will be some movement on the Haixi side before dawn. I will immediately send troops to the Haixi tribe. You can tell the third girl so that she can rest assured."
Everything is under their control.
Mrs. Yu Er was very happy. After serving Master Yu Er, she went to Miss Yu San's yard.
Miss Yu San stood up to greet her.
"Third girl," Mrs. Yu Er said with a smile, "that Vice General Fan has already led troops to the Haixi tribe. Originally, your father was a little worried. If Vice General Fan can't succeed, we have to think of other ways.
I didn’t expect it to happen.”
Mrs. Yu Er took her daughter's hand and said, "That Vice-General Fan is also a reliable one. After this incident, your father will definitely treat him favorably." She said with a slight smile, "Tell the truth to your mother. Is that Vice-General Fan Li?"
Xu recommended it to you?"
Miss Yu San seemed to have come back to her senses at this moment: "No...it's not..."
Mrs. Yu Er continued: "Don't lie to mother. How can a female family member like you have such ability? This Li Xu doesn't say anything, but he is so interested in you. I thought he was cold before, but it seems that I wrongly blamed him."
."
Miss Yu San lowered her face and tried her best to drive Deputy General Fan out of her mind: "Mother, father needs to stay in the guardhouse to take charge of the overall situation. Should we let the second brother take the first step? I'm afraid that Deputy General Fan and those people will not be able to trap Song Chengxuan and Xu.
."
Mrs. Yu Er didn't understand this: "Your father will make arrangements for himself."
"Then you have to remind me, father," Miss Yu San said, "Song Chengxuan is very fond of Mrs. Xu. There are several masters around Mrs. Xu. Whoever catches her must be careful. It is best to catch her alive, so that she can be captured alive in the future.
Blackmail Song Chengxuan."
Mrs. Yu Er gently held her daughter's shoulders: "Don't worry, your father will think carefully. Our Yu family has been fighting for many years, and we are still afraid of a child who is still young. Song Chengxuan's reputation is only due to the Anyi Marquis Mansion."
, your father and brother paid for it with life and death. When we meet together, we will know the outcome immediately."
Miss Yu San stood up: "I also took people to live in the surrounding villages. Whenever there was a war, I would immediately take the doctor there. These days, my daughter has become familiar with the people in the village by relying on the looms. They
I will definitely help my daughter." After she gained fame and her father and brother achieved success, she married Li Xu with great success.
…
Lieutenant General Fan approached the Haixi tribe with his troops.
It was already late at night, and only the tribe's checkpoints were still lit by firelight, while the rest of the place was pitch black.
"Song Chengxuan and his family have not left." Deputy General Fan reported to the guards around him.
Vice General Fan raised his lips slightly: "Are you ready, elders?"
The guard said: "We are ready, just waiting for you to come. We will cooperate inside and outside and go straight to the residence of the clan leader and Song Chengxuan."
Vice General Fan waved his hand: "Let's go... get the head before dawn."
