Chapter 2856 Mutation, Salvation
"If you search again, I won't believe it. How can a group of weak women and children escape from us?!" Zheng San was in conflict with Mrs. Ye and the others.
But they had no chance to search again. Zhang Laoba sent someone back and told him: "Zheng Qianhu, young master, they have already arrived at Yangji Mansion. Zhang Qianhu asked me to tell you, if you want credit, hurry up and lead the troops." If we go to attack the city too late, I’m afraid we won’t get any credit.”
Liu Hou is dead, Wei Xiao and General Xiao are not here, and there are still their internal agents in the Yangji Mansion. The city can be destroyed in the blink of an eye, so don't waste time on the female members of the Ye family. There is the second young master Ye and the Wu family. It's the same with my uncle as a hostage.
Zheng San thought for a while and finally decided to attack the city: "Take the three of them and rush to Fucheng to accomplish the feat of following the dragon and establish the great cause of the dynasty!"
As for Mrs. Ye and the women of the Wu family?
There are their people within a radius of thirty miles and on the way to Jiqing Mansion. Those women will be caught by their hidden stakes as soon as they show up, and they will not be able to escape!
"Qianhu Yingming, attack the city, attack the city!" shouted the mountain ghost army, who had already gathered their horses and rushed to the city soon.
They also threw Young Master Ye and Uncle Wu onto their horses and carried them to Fucheng as hostages to persuade them to surrender... However, they breathed a sigh of relief. The female relatives were not found, which was a great blessing among misfortunes.
And Mrs. Ye and the others did not escape from Zhuangzi... The tomb of the Wu family's parents was repaired, and there was a tomb inside. Under the coffin, there was an entrance, and there was a secret room inside. Mrs. Ye and the women of the Wu family were hiding in the secret room. Here, the mountain ghost army only opened the tomb, searched the tomb chamber, and took away the burial objects, but did not move the coffin. Therefore, they escaped.
But this is not a place to stay for a long time, but Mrs. Ye and the others did not dare to come out easily for fear of encountering the mountain ghost army. It was not until three days later that the water she brought had been drunk, and Mrs. Ye took the risk of taking the Wu family's eldest aunt out... They are all old Now, if you meet the mountain ghost army, you won't be afraid of being insulted.
They came out at night, taking advantage of the moonlight, crouching and heading to the river. They wanted to get some water first and bring it back to the tomb for the other female family members to drink, otherwise they would die of thirst.
But as soon as they finished fetching water, they were held down by a group of ambushes.
"Uh huh!" Mrs. Ye and Aunt Wu were almost crazy with fear, thinking it was the mountain ghost army.
But the person holding them down said: "Don't shout, we are relatives of the Duke of Qin's family, and we are here to help."
Relatives of the Duke of Qin’s family?
Mrs. Ye was dubious, but at least she stopped struggling and was taken to the sorghum field by the river by the group.
"This is Mrs. Ye's village. Are you from the Ye family? Do you know what happened to Yangji Mansion?" After Fei Jiawang finished asking, he let go and let Mrs. Ye and the others talk.
Mrs. Ye cried: "Are you really a relative of Duke Qin? Do you have a token?"
Fei Jiawang said: "This is a letter from Qin Guogong and his wife to my family. We are the Fei family from Dahushan Village, Shanmang County, Jiqing Prefecture."
The Fei family is a hidden stake placed by King Qingma in the Northeast. In order to control the situation in the Northeast, the Fei family will travel around the Northeast in the name of selling ginseng and medicinal herbs.
This time I was passing by and noticed something was wrong with Yangji Mansion. After knowing that this was the Ye Family Village, I came in and wanted to find people in the village to ask about the situation. It turned out that the village was empty and there were many corpses. Fortunately, it was Met Mrs. Ye and others.
Mrs. Ye quickly took the letter. Fei Jiawang had already asked someone to light a candle and let her read the letter by the light of the candle.
When Mrs. Ye saw Qin Sanlang's name, she cried with joy: "God bless us and let us meet our savior."
He also hurriedly told about the situation in Yangji Mansion, what happened to the Ye family, and Magistrate Ye's concerns.
Fei Jiawang was shocked: "People from Dongqing actually came here."
How did so many troops cross Xinliu City and come to Yangji Mansion?
However, the hidden stake placed by King Qingma in Dongqing did not reveal any clues at all!
And those people wearing mountain ghost masks... they should be the mountain ghost army entrenched in Tianshu Mountain, but I didn't expect the mountain ghost army to be so powerful? I thought they were just ordinary bandits.
"Master Fei, save my master, save the people in Yangji Mansion!" Mrs. Ye begged.
But Fei Jiawang said: "Liu Hou is dead, and most of the Wei army has gone to the capital. Now the only one who can relieve Yangji Mansion's crisis is Rui Xiong of Xinliu City..."
But Mrs. Ye said that Rui Xiong might have rebelled.
If they really rebelled, not only would the Yangji Mansion be lost, but even the Jiqing Mansion would be in danger, because the soldiers and horses of the Jiqing Mansion were no match for Rui Xiong's army!
"Then what should we do? We have to save the big guy!" Mrs. Ye cried in collapse, and the eldest aunt of the Wu family was even more confused. She didn't know what to do.
Fei Jiawang said: "I will first send people to escort you to Jiqing Mansion to ask for help. After the people who went to Yangji Mansion to find out the news come back, I will go to Xinliu City to ask for help. If Rui Xiong has not rebelled, I will lead troops to rescue him." Yangji Mansion, if he rebels, I can escape with my skills."
Mrs. Ye had no better way, so she nodded while crying: "Sure, I listen to you."
After saying that, he took Fei Jiawang and the others to the cemetery and brought out the other female family members.
Fei Jiawang was shocked when he saw the female members of the Wu family. There were nine of them, including Mrs. Ye's sister-in-law, that was eleven female members. It was really not an easy task to send them safely to Jiqing Mansion.
"I will accompany you for a while and send you to a safer place, and then go to Xinliu City to explore Rui Xiong's background." Fei Jiawang said.
"Thank you, Master Fei." Mrs. Ye was very grateful and asked, "We want to wait for news from Yangji Mansion, is that okay?"
She wanted to know, how is the master doing now?
Fei Jiawang thought for a while and agreed, but he was not idle. He sent someone to explore the way first... There was no room for failure in escorting the female family members. They had to send someone to explore the way before leaving. If they found any trace of the Mountain Ghost Army, they would have to Take a detour.
When it was almost dawn, the people who went to explore the road came back. Fei Jiawang grabbed the people who went to Yangji Mansion to investigate and asked, "What's going on? Is there really a fight?"
Ma Shisan nodded: "Well, we have been besieging the city for three days. There seems to be some internal agents in the city. They want to open the city gate to let the enemy into the city. Fortunately, they were discovered and the city gate was not opened."
Fei Jiawang was shocked: "All the internal officials have sneaked into the city. It seems that Dong Qing came prepared this time and vowed to avenge the Wei family's seizure of the city four years ago!"
"How is my master? But, is he still alive?" Mrs. Ye asked about Magistrate Ye's situation.
Ma Shisan looked at Fei Jiawang.
After Fei Jiawang revealed Mrs. Ye's identity, Ma Shisan replied: "Prefect Ye is still alive and is currently leading troops to defend the city..."
But Dongqing has too many soldiers and horses, as well as a large number of mountain ghost troops. Magistrate Ye and the soldiers and horses in the city alone cannot defend the city. Without reinforcements, the city will be destroyed today and tomorrow!
But Ma Shisan didn't say this.
Mrs. Ye cried with joy when she heard that Magistrate Ye was still alive.
Fei Jiawang said: "Mrs. Ye, let's set off quickly, we can't stay in this place any longer."
"Hey, hey, Master Fei is here for you." Mrs. Ye went to call the rest of the female family members. Under the escort of Fei Jiawang and others, she left Zhuangzi and took the mountain road to Jiqing Mansion.
The female relatives walked too slowly, delaying the rescue. Fei Jiawang sent Ma Shisan to take the lead and rushed to Jiqing Mansion to deliver a message asking for help.
He escorted Mrs. Ye and the others for another day and night. After reaching a relatively safe mountain road, he handed over Mrs. Ye and the others to his subordinates. He led the three of them away, took a small road, and rushed to Xinliu City.
