Chapter 91: Unrest in Taiyang
Because they needed to prepare some things, Han Lang and the other two stayed for one more day.
When passing through the west gate, Han Lang saw that the defense was much more than usual, and he couldn't help but frown.
Outside this west gate is the national gate to Jixia and Huiyong.
He then mounted his horse and rushed to the yamen.
Fang Zhaoxin was discussing matters in the study when Han Lang kicked the door open.
Two petty officials stepped forward, and he drew his sword directly. Before the other party could even see the sword, their heads fell to the ground.
Since Feng Aoqing and the children were not around, he didn't have to hold back any longer.
"Master Han! What are you doing!"
"If you don't tell the truth, I will kill your whole family!" Han Lang's face was full of sinister look.
Fang Zhaoxin looked out through the broken door and saw that An Qiao and An Lei had already taken all his family members into the yard.
"Sir Han! This is not possible! What do you want to know?!" Fang Zhaoxin begged.
"What on earth happened in Yantai City?!" Han Lang asked sternly.
"Yeontae...Flood..."
"An Lei!" An Lei held a short knife against the neck of Fang Zhaoxin's youngest son, ready to strike.
The youngest was the one who was most loved. Fang Zhaoxin had already collapsed. He shouted, "Jixia! Jixia's people!"
Han Lang narrowed his eyes and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Before the flood, someone sneaked into the city of Yantai using fake documents, claiming to be from Jiuguang Kingdom who came here to do business. As a result, he caused trouble and revealed his identity.
But several of them escaped and they only caught one person. The interrogation yielded no results and the man committed suicide.
"Then how do you know he's from Jixia?"
Fang Zhaoxin hurriedly handed over a knife, which was one of the weapons used by the Jixia army.
"Do you think it's Jixia who's here to scout out the camp?" Han Lang thought, as a border city, you should still be a little wary.
"That's right, I thought Jixia was making unusual moves."
"Why didn't you deliver the message to the garrison?!"
"I did, but due to the flood, there has been no news. The roads are also blocked, and I'm afraid the defenders can't come. I can only close the city gates."
Presumably, this letter, like the eldest princess's letter, was intercepted by someone.
Han Lang also became nervous when he heard this, because the border issue was a big deal.
He then asked, "What news did those people get?"
Fang Zhaoxin shook his head. He only sent people to check on Yantai to make sure that those who were not caught had indeed escaped, and did not ask anything else.
After Han Lang came, he was afraid of being accused of knowing the truth but not reporting it, and of not doing his job well, so he didn't dare to tell him. He just thought that Han Lang was just passing by, but he didn't expect that he was still seen through.
Han Lang glanced at him and said hurriedly, "I'll go check it out right now!"
"I'll give you half an hour. If you can't find the truth, your position as city guard will be over."
"Yes." Fang Zhaoxin's legs felt weak, and he leaned against the wall and went out to check.
Han Lang asked An Lei and An Qiao to release all the members of the Fang family.
Then he ordered the two men to take the message back to Beijing.
"You change your clothes and return to the capital. Split into two groups. An Lei, you take the route we came from and lure away those who intercepted the letter. An Qiao, you go around Shuzhou. Remember, the letter can only be spoken to the Princess, and no one else can tell it."
"Yes." They both answered at the same time.
An Lei didn't even care that he was a sitting duck.
"An Lei, there's no need to lure them too far, and there's no need to linger. Just provoke them. Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, sir." An Lei answered confidently.
"Let's go now!"
"Sir, you are alone..." An Lei asked with concern.
"Why, you want to be my master again?"
"No, no, sir, we're leaving." Seeing that he was about to take out his badge again, An Lei hurriedly left the door with An Qiao.
Han Lang didn't understand what Ji Xia was doing. Could it be that the third prince had lost his power and was destroyed by the crown prince?
Or was it the Third Prince who did this?
Why would he do such a stupid thing?
Even though Jixia's military force is stronger than Zhaojing's, Zhaojing is not vulnerable either. With the Third Prince's intelligence, how could he not understand that both sides would suffer losses?
There is only one conclusion, for the eldest princess.
Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?
Not long after, Fang Zhaoxin came back in a hurry.
He told Han Lang that the group of people claimed to be in the grain business and had inquired about whether there were any caravans passing by recently and wanted to find a big customer.
"They also mentioned... the exile team..." Fang Zhaoxin said tremblingly.
A look of surprise appeared on Han Lang's expressionless face.
He walked a few steps out of the yard, jumped over the wall, landed on the horse outside the gate, kicked the horse and left.
Going through the city was faster than taking the official road around the city. He whipped the horse again and again, making it gallop forward.
People on the street were dodging, and wherever he went, there was chaos.
The last time they were attacked in the mountains, they did see Jixia's weapon. He and Mo Beiyuan both thought that someone might want to frame Jixia, and ordinary people could not use such good weapons.
Now it has finally been confirmed that they are from Jixia, and their target is Mo Beiyuan.
The reason why they were such good weapons was because those people were the personal guards of the Third Prince.
Last time, there were more than 40 people, and this time, I don’t know how many there are!
Han Lang had never been so anxious, never been so panicked.
Don't be afraid, she is a secret guard, she is not that weak.
Don't be afraid, if she can kill forty people, she can also kill four hundred!
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
Thinking of this, Han Lang immediately realized that the person he was worried about was Feng Aoqing, not Mo Beiyuan!
Mo Beiyuan cannot die, he is still useful, and the eldest princess is still useful.
Feng Aoqing cannot die either. She is also useful and the eldest princess wants to use her.
It must be because of the eldest princess's instructions, and nothing else.
......
Feng Aoqing and his group walked around the city.
After exiting the north gate of Yantai City, you will reach Lianzhou. Lianzhou is mountainous and each city is located in the flat area in the mountains, so crossing the mountains and taking the official mountain road has become a daily routine.
As soon as you exit the north gate, you will reach Lianshuling.
Mountains are also natural barriers. If a war breaks out, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Compared with the mining city of Liansheng in the mountains, the cities in Yanzhou are much easier to attack, so the defense of Yantai City is so nervous.
Before setting off, Jiang Yi counted the number of people. The Mo family was missing Jing Tao, so there were now nineteen people. There were sixteen other exiles. The team was getting smaller and smaller.
With food in hand, they were not worried. Now that they were out of the flood and had bought all the things they needed, everyone felt at ease.
Feng Aoqing wanted to protect the two children, so she stared at Mo Shuyuan whenever she spoke.
"What are you looking at? I won't say anything nonsense! They are my nephews and nieces too." Mo Shuyuan felt uneasy when she was staring at her, so she explained in a low voice.
"It's good that you know they are your nephews and nieces. If it weren't for them, I would have killed you and your mother long ago! I haven't forgotten the lotus pond in the palace! I haven't forgotten the poison I drank!"
When Mo Shuyuan heard He Chi, she looked nervously at Qin Mu beside her. She didn't want Qin Mu to know about this.
He is a young master from a wealthy family and he cannot accept that she has done such a thing.
"I won't tell you!" Mo Shuyuan waved her hands.
Feng Aoqing glanced at Chen Yilan again. Chen Yilan became quieter and quieter, and no one knew when she would start to act up.
Tong Aoqing secretly thought that when they went to Hantian Valley in the future, they must not let the children stay with these two people.
Not far away, a soft cough was heard.
Feng Aoqing raised her head and glanced in that direction.
