    A cold wind blew by, and almost no one was seen in the Xiang family's courtyard. Many women and children had moved to Li Mingqi's village, and the usually crowded and narrow courtyard seemed a bit empty.

    Mr. Xiang Wu walked slowly alone. After receiving Xiang Nan's letter again, he came out of the grief of losing two sons in succession. He could see that the weight he had lost had gained back.

    He walked into Old Mrs. Xiang's study. The study room of Old Mr. Xiang was warm, smelling of wine and comfortable, but Old Mr. Xiang, whose face was flushed, was frowning.

    "Father, what's the matter?" Mr. Xiang Wu quickly put away his joy and asked nervously, "It's Xiaonan. What's the news?"

    Mrs. Xiang waved his hand: "It's Xiang Yun."

    Xiang Nan is his lifeline, and Xiang Yun is the sky above his head. He is the biggest backer of the Xiang family's glory. Master Xiang Wu is even more nervous: "How is the sixth brother? Is he injured again?"

    The injury was not serious, but the serious thing was the incident that caused the injury. Old Master Xiang told the story of Xiang Yun who borrowed troops from Jiannan Road to go to war but was assassinated.

    After hearing this, Mr. Xiang Wu looked solemn and uneasy: "This assassin is really inseparable from Jiannan Road?"

    "Although Jiannan Dao and Yun'er are said to be assassins sent by Ankang Mountain," Mr. Xiang shook his head, "There is no need for us to deceive ourselves. Yun'er is not worthy of Ankang Mountain sending assassins alone."

    Although he was in the old man's study, Mr. Xiang Wu couldn't help but look around and lowered his voice: "Has Li Fengan's matter been discovered?"

    "The physical evidence has been eliminated and the witness has died. There is absolutely no evidence left in this matter." Mr. Xiang said affirmatively, but he also shook his head, "But in this world, if something is done, it will definitely leave traces. Nothing is absolute.  It won¡¯t be foolproof, so someone on Jiannan Road must have guessed something.¡±

    Mr. Xiang Wu thought deeply and pondered: "Is it that Yuanji? So he disappeared with the eldest lady. In fact, he didn't want to marry us, let alone send the eldest lady into our hands."

    Mrs. Xiang nodded: "Yun'er and I also guessed the same way."

    Mr. Xiang Wu moved uneasily in his chair: "Yuan Ji is Li Fengan's entrusted person, and Jiannan Road is also his person. What should we do?"

    Mr. Xiang smiled instead and spread his hands on the armrest: "So what? He didn't directly kill Yun'er, but hid. It can be seen that he has no evidence and is unable to bear the consequences of exposing this matter."

    Mr. Xiang Wu nodded: "Sixth brother's status and character in Jiannan Road are beyond doubt. With Li Fengan gone, Jiannan Road cannot withstand the turmoil." He frowned again, "But if he is not eliminated, he will always be in trouble.  Now that the sixth brother has been trapped, he cannot even go to Jiannan Road, so how can he control the soldiers and horses on Jiannan Road?"

    Mrs. Xiang rubbed the armrest and squinted: "We have Xiaonan now."

    Mr. Xiang Wu sat up straight.

    "Yuanji is hiding and exposing Mr. Li San. Then we will rely on Mr. Li San. After all, it is his daughter who is married to our family now." Old Mrs. Xiang said, "Let's see what Yuanji will do with the invisible one."

    A smile spread across Mr. Xiang Wu's face: "Master Li San is a really good daughter. We don't need to remind her. She has already written a letter asking Xiaonan to come back and lead the army."

    Mrs. Xiang said oh, and was more concerned about another thing: "Did she send you a letter?"

    Mr. Xiang Wu nodded and took out the letter: "I'm here to show it to father."

    The letter was opened and he had obviously read it.

    Mrs. Xiang waved her hand: "Don't read it. She didn't use the Li family to deliver the letter to Xiaonan, but gave it to us. This is her sincerity."

    Mr. Xiang Wu came to his senses as soon as he thought about it: "She is quite smart."

    Mrs. Xiang smiled: "Because she is fake, and the real lady doesn't need to be smart."

    A real young lady has no desires and needs, and does not need to think about whether things are done carefully or not.

    "It seems it would be more appropriate to marry a fake one." Mr. Xiang Wu smiled and couldn't wait to get up, "I'm going to write a letter to Xiaonan right now."

    Old Mrs. Xiang motioned for him to sit down: "Forget it, Xiaonan doesn't like to hear you talk. His sixth uncle has already written it, so don't make any more trouble."

    Mr. Xiang Wu said sarcastically: "This traitor doesn't know what he is thinking. He has made Uncle Six worry about him since he was a child."

    Mr. Xiang looked out the window. Snow particles were falling in the cold wind. The drunkenness seemed to be condensed in his eyes again: "Young people think too much and don't know how high the sky is. They think that they can prove their power by doing whatever they want. Without family, how can they do whatever they want?"  .¡±

    The snow particles gradually changeSnowflakes were flying all over the sky. Four servants, wearing thick luggage and carrying sophisticated weapons, galloped out of Taiyuan Fucheng on horses.

    A group of soldiers and horses standing in the dry grass in the wilderness watched them off.

    "Master Hui, shall we follow?" a soldier asked.

    Butler Jiang Hui twisted his beard: "No need, the news from the eldest lady said that Xiang Nan is near Yizhou. We have people in Yizhou and Xuanwu Road. They can't cause trouble when they get there."

    After saying that, he whistled, and a group of horses came galloping out of the snow, and the soldiers in the grass mounted their horses one after another.

    "The governor sent us soldiers and horses as the eldest lady ordered, and we will do our best next." Jiang Hui said, "We will quell the nearby rebels, we will protect the people, and we will check and control the roads on all sides."

    "This was obviously not the order of the young lady who asked him to protect the town's manor and the wealthy people. The soldiers responded with a smile.

    "You can't be worse than that kid Zhongqi."

    "Have you seen the letter written by the fifth grader? He actually calls himself a junior eight general."

    They smiled and urged their horses, and the horses hoofed and neighed. People traveling far away were attracted by the noisy sound to look back and saw the figure looming in the snow and fog, but they could still recognize it.

    "They are soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road." A follower of the Xiang family said, "The eldest lady is leading the army now."

    Another attendant had a smile on his face: "Soon it will be Mr. Nan who will lead the troops."

    After he said that, he raised his whip and urged the horse.

    "Let's go quickly!"

    The horse's hooves galloped eastward in the snow, taking the main road and crossing the small road, braved the wind and snow at night, and passed through the adventurous environment of the small town. The further east it became, the harder it was to walk. The cities and towns it passed became more and more desolate. There were more and more refugees fleeing on the road, which was eye-catching.  The scene is getting more and more miserable.

    There are rebels all over the city, and bandits are rampant in the wilderness. Everyone is running away in panic, trying to escape to a place where they can settle down and live.

    Today, the four servants of the Xiang family settled in a city with high walls and soldiers, but despite this, everyone was still alert when they fell asleep in the middle of the night. When the first sound of movement came from outside, the four of them stood up.

    "The ground is shaking."

    "It's a horse."

    "There is movement at the city gate, and the guards are on the way up to the city."

    So there are rebels attacking?  The four people hurriedly ran out of the inn and looked at the soldiers and horses running on the street. The whole town was alarmed, and the sound of fighting was heard outside the city gate.

    "Don't be afraid, everyone! It's not an attack on the city! It's the rebels who are chasing the people."

    "There are only a dozen rebels!"

    When more accurate news came, the frightened people breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt sad again. The rebels were chasing people and it was not news worth cheering for. It was just that there were too many such things, and the sadness was numb.

    You never dare to open the city gate. Even though there are thousands more guards in the city than a dozen rebels, who knows if there are hundreds or even more people behind those dozen rebels.

    Those with high walls may not be able to stop them. Once the city gate is opened, there is no hope at all. All they can do is wait for the rebels to finish killing them and leave, then go out and bury the bodies of these poor people. They can have a mat in the troubled times.  It is also rare to be buried in a body.

    The guards on the city wall gritted their teeth and blocked their ears, but after a while someone shouted.

    "Hey, it's not the rebels massacring the refugees, it's the rebels besieging a person."

    "It seems like the rebels still can't defeat that man!"

    Is it so powerful?  The guards stood up in surprise and looked outside the city.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
