Chapter 19 Their Own Conspiracy
Yao Xiu went back to his home. Her mother, the sister of the lord of Yanyun, and Princess Yuyue, naturally received a notice from her servants. After that, Yao Xiu's suffering began.
"Xiuer, aren't you in Yao Shubao? Why did you suddenly come back?" Gui Yueru walked into Yao Xiu's room and asked her calmly.
"Oh! Mother." Yao Xiu first agreed, and she was a little shocked every time she saw her mother. This is not because Gui Yueru is such a strict person, but because Gui Yueru is always dissatisfied with Yao Xiu's wandering personality, so she will inevitably discipline her, so she will always be a little rebellious. I... I just came back from Yao Shubao."
"Is it?" Yu Yueru's face was still calm, "How did I hear that you sneaked out?"
"Me? No!" Yao Xiu shook his head and said. However, her heart is also very good. It must be his grandfather Yao Ju who told Yu Yueru the news of his escape.
"Isn't it?" Xiang Yueru glanced at Yao Xiu and said, "Xiuer, you are going to be 18 years old. You see, you are still wandering around all day..." Yao Xiu listened to Yu Yueru's reprimand. She simply stood aside, stared at the ground, and pretended to be very obedient. However, in fact, she didn't even listen to a word of what she said. Any woman should be gentle and virtuous and so on. Yao Xiu can't listen to a word.
"Why did you get your clothes dirty like this?" After talking about her sermon, her eyes glanced at Yao Xiu again. As a mother, she would feel sorry for her children. When she saw Yao Xiu's dusty clothes, she couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken. "Where do you think you have gone crazy these days?"
"Me? Me?" Yao Xiu raised her head and looked at her mother innocently, "Mother, I didn't go anywhere!" Yao Xiu originally wanted to change her clothes before seeing Xiang Yueru, but she didn't expect her to come so quickly.
"Don't tell the truth? Did something happen again?" Yu Yue looked at Yao Xiu with wide eyes, "Say it! In other ways, the family law will serve you.
"Mother, isn't it?" Yao Xiu listened to Yu Yueru's words, and she curled her lips and replied, "My daughter just went out for a few days. You don't have to do that, do you?" After saying that, she glanced at Yuyue with sad eyes, and then said, "If it hadn't been for my daughter's alertness, I'm afraid our Yanzhou... Alas! Mother, I will be a good daughter in the future.
"What's wrong with Yanzhou?" When Yu Yueru heard something in Yao Xiu's words and saw her hesitant look, she guessed what Yao Xiu had hidden from her. As for Yao Xiu's promise to be a well-behaved daughter Yun Yun in the future, she didn't take it to heart at all. As the saying goes, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change."
"In the past few days, I wanted to..." Yao Xiu saw that Chang Yueru took the initiative to ask, and she no longer concealed it. She told Yu Yueru how Zhang Zhentian got to Yao Shubao and why he left. After that, how they found the orc tent and other things. Of course, Yao Xiu won't tell the truth about why she went to northern Xinjiang. She only said that she missed her father and brother, and Zhang Zhentian and the others were not familiar with the way, and they took the initiative to beg her, so she agreed to lead the way. As for why she left her grandfather Yao Ju without saying goodbye, Yao Xiu said it lightly. She said that she was afraid of the old man's worries and did not agree to go to northern Xinjiang to see her father and brother, so she did so.
When Yu Yueru listened to Yao Xiu's words, she knew that there must be moisture in it. However, when Yao Xiu took out the letter from her arms and put it in front of her, Xiang Yueru had to believe Yao Xiu's words. It seems that his brother Guangcheng Gongxiang Huaide is really unindeserving, and he does have the intention to rebel.
"Xiuer, since it's urgent, what's the matter with you going home?" Although Yu Yueru was a little talkative in Yao Xiu's eyes, she knew that Yu Yueru was definitely not a timid person. If something happened in the country, Yu Yueru knew what was big and what was small.
"Mother. You have also read this letter. Originally, it was written by cousin Yuqun to Master Jiang Yue. Unfortunately, the master is not in the city, so I think..." Yao Xiu said this, and she looked up at Yu Yueru's expression. She was not sure whether Yu Yueru would help her.
"Do you want to come back and take away the guards at home?" Looking at Yao Xiu's hesitant appearance, she guessed Yao Xiu's thoughts.
"Yes, yes! Mother." Yao Xiu made a grimace and then changed his pitiful look. "I hope my mother can do it."
"No!" Yuyue answered decisively.
"Mother?" Yao Xiu listened to Xiang Yueru's words, and she was a little anxious, "If you don't help, Yanzhou will fall into the hands of the orcs?"
"Ha ha, I said no, I'm not saying that you are not allowed to lead the army." Yu Yueru looked at Yao Xiu's expression and replied with a smile, "It's just that there are only a hundred soldiers in the family. What's the use if you take them all?"
"What should I do?" Yao Xiu listened to Yu Yueru's words, and she nodded gently. She also knew that the soldiers who stayed at home said that there were hundreds of people. Without the old and weak, only half of the soldiers who were strong and able to fight were at most. If they really take them, it was really useless.
"I think the concubine must have told you that there are only two courts and urban defense battalions in Yanzhou, and now there are still troops that can be adjusted?" Yu Yueru asked for a moment.
"Yes, mother." Yao Xiu must answer.
"He asked you to find Jiang Yue in order to use Jiang Yue's prestige to mobilize the Beiyue congregation to help you defend the city?" Yu Yueru said again.
"Yes! Mother." Yao Xiu still answered.
"In fact, in addition to these three places in the city, in addition to the three classes of fast-catching government officials, there are also 300 government soldiers." Yu Yueru said with a smile, "In addition, although they have no soldiers in those big and small bodyguard bureaus in Yanzhou City, they are all proficient in martial arts and spells."
"Mother, you still want to think for a long time!" While complimenting, Yao Xiu leaned his head on Yuyue's arms, "But mother, Lord Yin of Yanzhou, I don't know each other well, and those darts bureaus..."
"All right! Since it's the place I want to go, I naturally have a way!" Yu Yueru stroked Yao Xiu's hair and whispered, "You quickly changed your clothes and concentrated the soldiers in the house. Then, you take my letter to the palace to find the internal guard general of the imperial guard. When he sees my letter, he will definitely lead the army to help you."
"Okay, mother." Yao Xiu listened to Xiang Yueru's words, and immediately turned around and followed Yu Yueru's instructions. At this time, Yu Yueru sat there and asked her servants to take pen and ink. She repaired a total of two letters, one of which was written to the general of the Praetorian Guard, and the other to Xue Jin and Tao Zhu, the captains of the right battalion of the Praetorian Guard.
After Yao Xiu changed his clothes and went outside to gather his soldiers back, Xiang Yueru put two letters in Yao Xiu's hand, "Xiuer, take the letter! You go to the palace to find Jiong first and give him all two letters. After he read the letter, he naturally knew how to do it.
Yao Xiu listened to Yu Yueru's words, and she nodded repeatedly. Then, Yu Yueru couldn't help but entrust Yao Xiu again, and then the two arranged separately.
While Yao Xiu and Yuyue were preparing intensively, Guangcheng Gongxiang Huaide and Yupeng naturally got the news in the mansion. They already knew that the four gates of Yanzhou had strengthened their defense, and at the same time, there were faint people outside the Duke's Palace.
"Father, what do you think we should do?" After listening to the secret agent's return, he asked Yu Huaide in a low voice, "It seems that if we don't do it again, they will do it."
"It's better to calm down." Hearing this, Yu Huaide sat there and shook his head and replied, "Now the northern army outside the city is not ready. If we do something at this time, I'm afraid they can't give us substantial help."
"But if we wait any longer, I'm afraid they will do it!" Yu Peng replied anxiously, "And there is also this boy who has two sides and three knives and a smiling tiger!" He still has a deep affection for me at noon and comes with us in the evening.
"Yes! Peng'er." After hearing this, Yu Huaide sighed, "Although a lot of troops from the north have come in, we are not superior in numbers without the support of the city defense battalion. Once we can't take the west gate, the army of the north will not be able to enter the city.
"I think so!" After hearing this, Yu Peng said, "I will go back to the left battalion of the Persban Guard tonight to defend the Duke's Palace!"
