Chapter 330: Conquering the Old Subordinates
However, in front of the ancestors of the Xie family, Shen Wan didn't dare to ask in detail.
But what if the villain really doesn’t want to have children?
She has already made a vow. What if she fails to do so and the ancestors of the Xie family come to her in the middle of the night to settle the score?
Can’t you say the villain is bad?
Or is it that he is just not popular with his children?
While I was daydreaming, the old servant handed me two incense sticks.
Xie Mubai and Shen Wan took it with both hands and respectfully burned incense for their ancestors.
After burning incense, the two kowtowed again before leaving the ancestral temple.
As soon as I went out, I saw the strong man and his brothers kneeling on the cold ground.
"Your Highness!" The burly man kowtowed heavily and said in a clear voice, "I am Wu Lao San, a subordinate who used to serve under the Duke."
"Brothers have all received great kindness from the Duke. If the Crown Prince does not mind, I am willing to lead all the brothers to abandon evil and join the light."
After hearing this, Xie Mubai looked at the group of soldiers in front of him with cold eyes.
They cannot be blamed for what happened this time. After all, they were also deceived by Xie Mufeng.
It is indeed difficult for them to doubt his identity as the son of the Duke of Zhenguo.
"Are you sure?" He thought for a moment and asked, "It's dangerous to follow me."
Although he did not say it explicitly, the soldiers knew clearly that he was determined to avenge the Duke of Zhenguo.
"My life belongs to the Duke, so it doesn't matter how dangerous it is!" Wu Lao San said immediately after hearing this.
After hearing this, the other soldiers also echoed.
Xie Mubai thought for a moment and said, "I'll write a letter later. You and your brothers can go to Hezhou separately."
Hezhou is his territory, so there is absolutely no problem in letting Uncle Ya be in charge of this team.
In fact, he also has his troops in Hezhou, but the Third Prince is keeping a close eye on them, so there are not many of them.
If we add Wu Laosan and his hundred-plus people, that would naturally be a good thing.
Wu Laosan was delighted and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"Let Black Hawk take you to rest first. It won't be too late to set off after the snow stops. Let's go too." Xie Mubai turned and looked at Shen Wan, "Come on, rest with me for a while."
Shen Wan did not refuse.
Xie Mufeng just died, and the villain is in a bad mood. It would be nice to have a good rest for a while.
The west wing of the ancestral temple was where servants lived, while the east wing was where the master stayed.
However, he has been busy with wars in recent years and rarely comes back to pay homage.
Xie Mubai had to pretend to be sick at home again, so it was not convenient for him to come over.
Over the years, only the four sons of Aunt Zhou could be kept back in turn.
If I'm not mistaken, Xie Mufeng chose that valley when he returned to his hometown to pay homage, and then secretly ordered people to dig a cave.
The east wing is not big, with only two small rooms.
The compartment is extremely clean and you can tell it is cleaned regularly.
It’s a pity that the dog emperor insisted that Shen Wan go to the Northwest, otherwise she really wanted to settle down in Xiejiazhuang.
Although this place is not as prosperous as Hezhou, it is simple and quiet.
"Come up." Xie Mubai climbed up the pit and looked at her.
When Shen Wan heard this, her eyes widened in shock.
No way?
This is the family temple!
Could it be that the villain is so fierce that he would do such a thing in front of his ancestors?
Seeing her terrified face, Xie Mubai seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.
"What nonsense are you thinking about?" He curled his lips and sneered, "I'm not that shameless."
After hearing this, Shen Wan blushed.
Okay, I got it wrong again.
It's so cold, the villain must want her to get on the kang to keep warm.
Thinking of this, Shen Wan got on the kang.
I thought the kang must be very warm, but it was actually freezing cold.
While she was confused, the villain had already laid down with her in his arms.
He didn't say anything, but just patted the earthen kang lightly.
Suddenly, the kang flipped over.
Shen Wan only felt that her eyes went dark, and the two of them slid down a long corridor.
Damn, even the ancestral temple has mechanisms!
Soon, the two of them landed steadily on the hard ground.
Not far away, a faint ray of light came over.
The sound of soldiers training could be heard faintly in my ears.
Shen Wan was shocked.
Am I hallucinating, or is there another world beneath this temple?
Xie Mubai didn't say anything, but just held her hand and walked forward.
Walking on the bluestone paved ground and turning a few corners, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.
By the light of the torches on the wall, Shen Wan clearly saw a well-equipped army training.
A rough estimate is that there are at least three thousand troops!
"I... I am not dreaming, am I?" She couldn't believe her eyes and looked up at Xie Mubai.
Xie Mubai nodded slightly: "This army started training five years ago."
"Did you guess that this day would come?" Shen Wan asked in surprise.
Xie Mubai frowned slightly: "That's right."
"A tall tree attracts the wind. The dog emperor will never allow the world to only know the Xie family and not the Xiao family."
He explained as he walked forward.
Upon seeing him, a man in his thirties immediately stepped forward and saluted.
Xie Mubai nodded slightly: "You guys continue, I'll bring my wife over to take a look."
Upon hearing this, the man subconsciously glanced at Shen Wan.
This is the first time a woman has entered the underground training ground since it was built.
It seems that the young master cares very much about this woman.
The man didn't say much and immediately retreated to continue training.
"Why did you bring me here?" Shen Wan was a little puzzled as she looked at the soldiers who were training hard.
Xie Mubai smiled faintly: "Nothing, I just don't want to hide anything from you."
Shen Wan felt warm in her heart.
The villain really trusted her too much, and even dared to let her know such confidential matters.
It’s just a pity for Xie Mufeng. He had been planning in Xiejiazhuang for a long time, but he didn’t know that there was such a huge army under the ancestral temple.
Three thousand troops, this is definitely not a small number.
Even the Duke of Zhenguo stationed at Yumen Pass had only a hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
"Aren't you afraid that I will betray you?" She smiled cunningly, her eyes sparkling.
Xie Mubai glanced at her: "Are you willing to give it up?"
These words were clearly heard by a soldier who was in training.
The soldier's face felt hot and even his movements became a little distorted.
"Hate it, everyone heard it!" Shen Wan's face turned red, and she reached out to pinch the villain's arm.
Xie Mubai disagreed.
Just hear it, it’s their fault they are single.
"By the way, where did you recruit these people from?" Shen Wan asked curiously.
Xie Mubai didn't intend to hide anything and confessed truthfully: "They are all former members of the Xie family. Five years ago, I ordered people to gather them all here."
"I bought some land near the ancestral temple, which was enough to support their food."
"Plus, the old manor owner is extremely low-key, so for so many years, no one knew the secret of Xiejiazhuang."
Seeing him calling him the old owner, Shen Wanxin couldn't help but move slightly.
"By the way, where's the old owner?" she asked uneasily. "Huidong said they imprisoned him in a cellar, but he didn't specify which cellar."
Xiejiazhuang is neither big nor small.
It seems difficult to find the cellar here.
