Chapter 506: Resistance

Xiangshan Villa.

Song Han's roar made Dou Zhao and others freeze in their tracks, and the room became even quieter without a single sound.

"Mom!" Yuan Ge'er, who was sleeping soundly, rubbed his sleepy eyes and climbed up, "I want to pee!"

He stood on the kang and stretched out his little hand towards Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao secretly groaned.

Why did this little ancestor wake up at this time?

I don't know if it will scare the children?

Grandma hurriedly picked up Yuan Ge'er and coaxed him softly, "Be good, your mother is busy, great-grandma will take care of your urine!"

Children are very sensitive. If it were normal, he would have jumped into his grandmother's arms with a smile, but at this moment, he twisted his little body and insisted on being held by Dou Zhao: "I want my mother! I want my mother!"

Dou Zhao walked over with a smile, kissed Yuan Ge'er's little face, and said, "Just tell me what you want to do. You are not a good kid if you make a fuss like this!"

Yuan Ge'er snuggled tightly in Dou Zhao's arms.

The people in the room turned their backs, and my grandmother found a washbasin that had been used by someone else to collect the urine.

Dou Zhao carried Yuan Ge'er back to the kang and said with a smile, "Go to sleep! When you wake up, Dad will be off duty!"

Yuan Ge'er held Dou Zhao's hand tightly and said, "Mom, stay here with me!"

"Okay!" Dou Zhao was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to show it at all.

She originally thought that Prince Liao would wait until the emperor's health was failing before taking action, just like he did in his previous life. She never thought that Prince Liao was so bold as to take the risk without caring about the consequences.

Is it because the longer he delays, the more unfavorable the situation will be for him?

There are only thieves who can be thieves for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Although Song Mo was very cautious about King Liao, he could not withstand the sudden attack of King Liao. I wonder if he discovered King Liao's conspiracy?

Dou Zhao suppressed the turmoil in his heart, took a deep breath, and patted Yuan Ge'er gently as usual to coax him to sleep.

Yuan Ge'er's eyes were wide open, and his gaze fell on Dou Zhao for a while, and then on Duan Gongyi who was guarding their bed.

Dou Zhao smiled and gently pinched his little nose, saying, "Why don't you close your eyes quickly."

Yuan Ge'er chuckled, his face full of curiosity, and asked, "Where is the wet nurse? Why didn't she stay with me but let Master Duan stay with me?"

This kid is really smart.

Dou Zhao smiled and said, "Mother is watching over you today, so I let the nurse go and have a rest!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the originally quiet courtyard was filled with the sound of arrows and Song Han's hysterical screams.

Duan Gongyi and others looked nervous.

Yuan Ge'er was so scared that he crawled into his mother's arms, calling "Mom" tremblingly.

Dou Zhao was so heartbroken that he wanted to slap Song Han to death.

She covered Yuan Ge'er's ears and kissed his soft black hair: "It's okay, mother and Master Duan are here, don't be afraid!"

Yuan Ge'er slowly calmed down.

The courtyard gradually became quiet.

Faint groans were heard, and the other party began to shout: "Madam Dou, your people are still alive. You love your subordinates so much, how could you bear to watch them die in vain? You are of noble status, and we dare not neglect you. As long as you are willing to go with us, we will not only send someone to treat your guards immediately, but also escort you to the Prince Liao's Mansion respectfully. It is almost dawn, and when I came, my master had instructed me to bring you back before dawn. If we still can't get you back before dawn, let us burn down the house. Now firewood has been piled up around the villa, and lamp oil has been poured on it. We will light it when it gets light..."

Dou Zhao and others' expressions changed drastically.

Chen Xiaofeng drew his knife and said, "I'll go see if this is true."

"No need!" Several people have been killed or injured. As many as can be saved now, the better. Dou Zhao said dejectedly, "They don't have to deceive us with such a trivial matter..." As she spoke, she looked at Yuan Ge'er in her arms, tears welling up in her eyelashes.

Duan Gongyi, don't look away.

The grandmother trembled as she held Dou Zhao's hand.

The other party was still persuading Dou Zhao: "If Madam Dou doesn't believe it, you can just send someone to find out. When two countries are at war, envoys will not be killed. As long as the person you sent out to find out the news does not leave the yard, we will not take action..."

Dou Zhao pretended not to hear.

She calmed herself down, smiled and pulled her son out of her arms, saying softly, "Yuan'er, let's play a game - Master Duan will hold you in his arms and take you out of this yard to find your father. If you can keep silent, I will tell your father to take you to the other yard to ride a horse. Can you do it?"

"Madam!" Duan Gongyi and others knelt down with tears in their eyes.

Yuan Ge'er looked at Duan Gongyi and others somewhat at a loss.

"Hurry up, all of you!" Dou Zhao said coldly, "Yuan Ge'er is the eldest son of the prince, and also his only son now. If he falls into the hands of Prince Liao, even if the prince surrenders to him, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Yuan Ge'er to return to us. If he doesn't leave, it will be even more dangerous here!"

Most people in the world value offspring more than women.

In the eyes of King Liao, Yuan Ge'er is more important.

But in the eyes of Duan Gongyi and others, Dou Zhao is more important.

"What will you do if we leave?" He shook his head like a wave drum.

"At worst, I can just go to their house as a guest." Dou Zhao smiled nonchalantly and patted her son's head, saying, "I'll go out and negotiate with them later, and you can take Yuan Ge'er out. They won't have time to pay attention to grandma by then," she said, turning to her grandmother, "You can find a way to hide later, and you will definitely be able to escape danger."

Yuan Ge'er was confused and didn't know his mother's decision, but the solemn atmosphere made him involuntarily snuggle into Dou Zhao's arms again.

“You should go with Yuan Ge’er and the others!” Grandmother said solemnly. “I’ll stay here and lead them. They won’t be able to tell the difference between you and me through the window.”

Grandmother is trying to use someone else's trick.

Dou Zhao looked at the silver hair on his grandmother's temples, smiled and shook his head: "You should just listen to my arrangements!"

The other party is not so easy to fool!

Before my grandmother could say something, there was a sudden noise outside, as if something had happened.

The people in the room were cheered up, and Duan Gongyi quickly lifted the thick felt on the window and looked out.

"Madam!" He turned around excitedly soon, "It seems that someone has a conflict with them..."

The reason why Liao Wang's men were able to surround them was because no one noticed. If someone noticed something unusual in the other courtyard, they would definitely report it to the authorities, and Liao Wang's siege would be lifted. This is why they had to capture Dou Zhao and his mother and son and bring them to Liao Wang's mansion before dawn.

Everyone felt relieved. Dou Zhao handed Yuan Ge'er to his grandmother and walked to the window.

The men guarding the gate seemed very flustered. They had crossbows in their hands, but didn't know where to aim. It was obvious that the newcomer had put them in a very difficult position.

Dou Zhao frowned in confusion.

Then a young man who was prettier than the girl walked in alone with a knife in his hand.

As he walked, he cursed, "You bunch of dogs, you want to open a dyeing house after I gave you some color? Don't you even see where you are? How dare you pile up firewood and light a fire!" He said, standing in the middle of the yard with a defiant look, "Prince Liao and I are cousins, if you have the guts, burn me to death too! I'm standing here today to see if you have the courage!"

Gu Yu!

The person who came turned out to be Gu Yu!

Wasn't he in Tianjin? Why did he come back to Kyoto?

Dou Zhao’s eyes widened.

The other party couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and said: "Master Gu, why do you have to do this? We are also following orders..."

"Nonsense!" Gu Yu jumped up and down, "How could my cousin do such a thing? You said you were following orders, then take out my cousin's handwritten order and show it to me! If it was really my cousin's intention, I would persuade my sister-in-law to follow you without saying a word!"

How could there be a handwritten order for such a matter?

The other party remained silent.

Gu Yu was very proud and said, "I knew you were lying! You must be jealous of Madam Dou's wealth, so you came here to rob her in the name of my cousin! Why don't you just leave me alone, or I will hold you responsible if I investigate!"

Since the other party was entrusted with such an important task by King Liao, he must be no incompetent. The man immediately became tough in his tone: "Master Gu, since you are making such a fuss, don't blame me for being rude!"

"You have ruined my cousin's reputation and dared to be rude to me!" Gu Yu shouted angrily and strode towards the chamber. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you in there?"

As he came closer, Dou Zhao not only saw the dust on his face, but also his red eyes.

Prince Liao was plotting treason and used himself and Yuan Ge'er to threaten Song Mo. The person who felt the most uncomfortable was probably Gu Yu!

Dou Zhao looked at him with a pang of pain in his heart, and shouted, "Uncle, I'm here! Yuan Ge'er and I are both fine!"

Yuan Ge'er heard Gu Yu's voice and called out "Uncle Gu" in a childish voice.

Gu Yu's eyes became even redder.

He did not enter the house, but blocked the door and shouted: "Let's see who dares to let me go!"

The air in the yard stagnated.

Song Han crawled out from under the holly tree in the corner of the wall: "Gu Yu, save me!"

He ran towards this side using both his hands and feet.

Dou Zhao hurriedly said, "Uncle, he was the one who brought the person in!"

"It's not me, it's not me!" Song Han screamed, "I was also forced!"

Gu Yu hesitated for a moment.

Dou Zhao was so disgusted that he said to Gu Yu coldly: "Don't bother with him! He is an ungrateful person..."

But before she could finish her words, Song Han suddenly rushed towards Gu Yu, and a cold dagger suddenly appeared in his hand...

Dou Zhao and others couldn't help but exclaim.

Duan Gongyi and Chen Xiaofeng ran towards the door at the same time.

Gu Yu's expression turned gloomy, and he kicked Song Han away: "You are really like what my sister-in-law said, an ungrateful person!"

He laughed in anger.

Song Han landed in the middle of the yard with a "plop" sound, and after a long while he twitched lightly a few times.

Dou Zhao said bitterly: "Why didn't you just kick him to death?"

Gu Yu laughed when he heard this and said, "Sister-in-law, you and I are thinking the same thing!"

As he spoke, he walked towards Song Han, looking as if he was going to kill him.

"Shoot!" A cold voice came from the yard.

Duan Gongyi quickly pulled Gu Yu in, and Chen Xiaofeng quickly closed the door in tacit understanding.

The room was filled with the sound of arrows hitting the doors and windows.

Like raindrops.

Gu Yu dropped the knife, held his head in agony, and squatted on the ground: "Why don't you just let them shoot me to death!"
