Lin Yiran's mouth twitched as she looked at the upper-level soldiers of the Xiao family's private army who were in a panic, and she pulled the corners of her lips helplessly.
She glanced at the tens of thousands of excited and restless Xiao family private soldiers on the parade ground.
"You are all waiting at the parade ground. General Xiao Yunhao will definitely come here to see you."
After saying that, Lin Yiran lowered her eyes and looked at Prefect Tian who was rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Master Tian, I leave this place to you."
"Lin Changshou, you are responsible for helping Lord Tian guard the parade ground. I will be back soon."
As soon as Lin Yiran finished speaking, she clamped her legs against the fire beneath her and ran out without waiting for Prefect Tian to say anything...

Xiao Yunzhan ran to the city gate and immediately dismounted.
"All of you get out of the way, I'll do it myself."
Xiao Yunzhan stopped the guard who was helping him open the city gate, and walked forward with red eyes to open the gate bolt.
At this time he was not the King of Yongchang, he was the younger brother waiting for his brother to come home.
"Squeaky~"
Xiao Yunzhan opened the extremely heavy city gate easily by himself.
The moment the city gate opened, he saw a strong man with a full beard, thick hair and ragged clothes standing at the gate.
When Xiao Yunzhan met the sturdy man's sharp eyes, tears immediately fell like rain.
It is said that men don't shed tears easily, but they do when they are heartbroken.
He was so excited at this moment that he couldn't stop crying.
"Big---Brother!"
Xiao Yunzhan walked forward choking with sobs.
With every step he took, his tears would be spread on the ground, paving the way for his footsteps.
When Xiao Yunhao saw his fourth brother who was even more handsome and strong, his eyes turned red instantly and tears fell unconsciously.
"Fourth brother!"
Xiao Yunhao rushed forward and hugged Xiao Yunzhan tightly.
Xiao Yunzhan raised his hands tremblingly and hugged Xiao Yunhao tightly.
"Brother, you have suffered."
He hugged his elder brother, whose body was covered with bones, and burst into tears.
My brother used to be all lean muscle, tall and strong. He must have gone through so much hardship that the strong lean muscle on his back has turned into bones.
"Brother, it's all my fault. I blame myself for not looking for you. I blame myself for accepting my fate..."
"Blame me, it's all my fault..."
Xiao Yunzhan hugged Xiao Yunhao, and the feeling of regret almost overwhelmed him.
When Emperor Wu of Liang said that his father and brothers had all died in battle, he certainly didn't believe it at the time and came here to search for them.
But no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find any clues. After a while, he really thought that his father and brothers were all dead.
It was all his fault that he didn't keep searching, but chose to lie dormant and train secret guards.
As a result, while they were training him, they confiscated the property of the people trained by the Duke of Zhenguo and exiled them.
Not only did he fail to find his father and brother, but he also made his mother and sisters-in-law suffer with him.
Fortunately, I met Ranran.
Otherwise, he couldn't imagine whether his mother and sisters-in-law could survive the road of exile...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunzhan felt extremely guilty and self-blaming, and kept muttering,
"It's all my fault..."
"You have been imprisoned for so long..."
"I'm sorry, brother..."
“…”
Xiao Yunhao cried, laughed, and patted Xiao Yunzhan's back helplessly.
"I don't blame you, Fourth Brother, don't blame yourself. You were only a little kid back then."
"Emperor Wu of Liang is determined to destroy the Xiao family. No matter what we do, we can't escape."
"The world is vast, and it belongs to the king. There is no escaping it."
Unless we rebel against the dog emperor, our own people will be in charge.
Xiao Yunhao didn't say this, after all, there were so many soldiers watching at the city gate.
It would be disastrous if someone found out that they were planning to rebel and secretly reported it to Emperor Wu of Liang.
They had not yet become powerful enough, and their chances of winning were slim if they fought against Emperor Wu of Liang.
Xiao Yunhao looked at the strange general's uniform on Xiao Yunzhan and smiled with relief.
"Fortunately, Emperor Wu of Liang has been asking you to guard the border. Otherwise, I would not be able to enter the city even if I came back."
"besides......"
Xiao Yunhao took a deep breath and asked in a trembling voice,
"Are mother and your sisters-in-law all right in the capital?"
According to Emperor Wu of Liang's character, he designated to leave the women of the Shen family in the capital as hostages before he dared to use his fourth brother.
He hadn't seen his wife for so long, and he couldn't help feeling a little flustered because he would be seeing her soon.
"Oh!"
Xiao Yunzhan left Xiao Yunhao's arms and couldn't help but sneer when talking about Emperor Wu of Liang.
"Brother, what are you thinking? A tyrant emperor wouldn't trust me to guard the border."
"Two months ago, the tyrant emperor issued an order to confiscate the property and exile the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion no longer exists."
"What!?" Xiao Yunhao's eyes widened in shock. "You bastard, how dare he do that?"
"Where are mother and your sisters-in-law?"
"Tell me, how are they?"
Xiao Yunhao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
When he first heard his fourth brother directly say "tyrant", he was a little surprised that he was so bold.
Then I heard that the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion was ransacked and the people were exiled. The mansion was full of women, so how could they endure the suffering of exile?
Xiao Yunhao clenched his fists in anger, wishing he could twist the tyrant's head off right now.
