"Join?" Yun Zhuo thought of the suffering his aunt had endured, and his heart moved.
"Look at how hard life is for the people in Tahui Pass. Now that we are here, how can we not help them vent their anger?" Song Wan thought, although Yun Zhuo's martial arts skills are not very good, he still looks strong. If there is too much silver, one more person can help move more.
"We're not stealing, we're robbing the rich to help the poor." Song Wan continued to tempt him.
"Alright!" Yun Zhuo slammed the table. "Join us!"
With his joining, the team of five people instantly expanded to eight people.
After a hearty meal, it was still light outside, and Song Wan thought it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day, and she thought today was a good day.
Joining a gang is one thing, but it doesn't mean you have to act impulsively. When Yun Zhuo heard that she was about to charge in without any preparation, he quickly stopped her, "Miss Song, don't we need to make some preparations? For example, we should first inquire about the defenses of the General's Mansion."
Song Wan shook her head and said, "Why bother asking about this? It's a waste of money."
She understood that no matter where you are, information has to be bought.
Yun Zhuo: "But if we go directly, we'll easily be captured alive."
How could the residence of a local prefect compare to the prestigious general's mansion?
"That's true." Song Wan nodded in agreement.
Just when Yun Zhuo thought he had a chance of persuading them, Song Wan spoke again, "Just go over there and it'll be easy to capture them alive."
Not difficult at all, she thought.
Yun Zhuo nodded subconsciously, but halfway through he suddenly realized something was wrong. What she said seemed to be the exact opposite of what he meant.
Song Qi and Gu Wu recalled what happened in Xinzhou and nodded in agreement.
Yun Zhuo saw their attitudes and couldn't help but look at Gu Yan anxiously, "Are you not going to stop them?"
Gu Yan hurriedly poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Song Wan. "The lunch was a bit salty. Drink some water."
He waited until Song Wan finished drinking the water before replying to Yun Zhuo, "Ah Wan is much more capable than you think. You just need to trust her."
Song Wan arched her eyebrows, secretly touched Gu Yanji's hand and said, "You still understand me the best."
Qi Fu snorted, "Sweet talk!"
Song Qi and Gu Wu looked at each other, then went up and covered Qi Fu's mouth. The two masters had a good relationship, so why would he cause trouble?
Yun Zhuo...it's not that he knows the most, it's probably just blind worship.
He really wanted to know what kind of woman could make these men willing to entrust their lives and fortune to her.
However, he seemed to understand the answer completely at night when everyone climbed over the outer wall into the general's mansion.
This Miss Song might be a deity who has experienced many tribulations and come down to earth. Who can tell her why they entered the general's mansion so openly without the other party noticing at all?
Yun Zhuo, who was doubting his life, asked the servant, "Yuan Bao, can you see me?"
He suspected that the gods had cast some kind of invisibility spell on them.
Yuan Bao, dressed in night clothes, was nervous. It was the first time for him to do such a thing. When he heard the young master asking him, he quickly made a "hush" gesture and said almost silently, "Young master, you can see it, but young master, Miss Song said that we should not make any noise~"
Yun Zhuo quickly covered his mouth, he almost fell behind.
Song Wan was aware of every move of the master and servant. Fortunately, she had used her mental power to interfere with the mental cognition of the guards in the mansion in advance. At this moment, in the eyes of those guards, they were just a few big trees swaying in the wind.
This general's mansion was indeed very different. On the surface, it seemed to be very simple and clear. In fact, as soon as Song Wan entered the front yard, she felt that there was a tunnel under a wing room. Going further in, she felt exactly the same as the golden wall in Yao Xu's study.
So Song Wan pointed to the location of the wing room and said, "The target is there, let's go over there."
If you want to enter the back wing, you have to pass through Xu Lie's outer study, which is the safest and most dangerous place in the entire general's mansion.
So even though he knew that Song Wan had that ability, Gu Yan was still nervous. As if sensing his uneasiness, Song Wan held his hand. Gu Yan looked up in a hurry and was caught off guard by a pair of sparkling eyes.
She said, "Don't be afraid, he can't find us."
Gu Yan hurriedly held her hand and said, "Awan, protect yourself, and I won't be afraid."
Song Wan frowned. She suspected that Gu Yanji was questioning her ability, so she emphasized her tone and said, "A captain who only cares about his own safety is not a good captain. Since I brought you here, I will definitely bring you back safely."
She is not the kind of captain who would only care about running away when encountering danger. Such a captain will quickly lose the trust of her teammates and will also affect the unity of the team.
Gu Yanji slightly curled the corners of her lips and hummed softly, "I believe in A Wan."
Likewise, he would not hold her back, either now or in the future.
Just because he doesn't hold back doesn't mean others won't.
As the distance shortened and they were about to pass the outer study quietly, a "click" sound was particularly clear in the silent night.
The culprit Yun Zhuo "!!!"
He didn't step on it on purpose! Who would have thought that the servants of the General's Mansion would be so lazy and not even clean up such a large branch lying across the road?
Everyone's eyes turned to him, making Yun Zhuo feel extremely guilty. He quickly shook his head to indicate that he didn't mean it.
But there was no time to explain now. Song Wan and Gu Yan looked at each other quickly, then tacitly picked up one each and flew to the roof.
Song Qi and Gu Wu also reacted quickly. One of them carried the ingots, and the other pulled Ada, and they quickly followed the two of them onto the roof.
Almost in an instant, the study door opened and two people walked out. Looking down from the roof, only two shadows could be seen.
Song Wan supported Qi Fu, giving him time to slow down his breathing and sit steadily. Sitting next to him was Yun Zhuo, who was thrown over by Gu Yan like a chicken in a hurry.
With the mental obstruction, Song Wan was not afraid that the other party would find out, but if they had confronted each other head-on just now, she would not have felt it was so interesting.
Robbing the rich to help the poor is all about the thrill.
Xu Lie was discussing important matters with his confidant when he suddenly heard some noise outside. Without any hesitation, he pushed his deputy general aside and opened the door of the study to come out and check.
"What's wrong, General?" The confidant Tan Min was less alert, mainly because he thought that this was the general's mansion with strict security, and no one would rush in to seek death.
"There seemed to be someone outside just now." Murderous intent flashed in Xu Lie's eyes. He looked up and around a few times, but there seemed to be nothing unusual.
But the sound he heard earlier did not seem like an illusion.
Upon hearing this, Tan Min also observed cautiously for a while before saying, "General, who would dare to break into your residence? Moreover, this is the outer study. Even if someone luckily broke in here, it's impossible for them to not make any noise."
What he said made sense. Xu Lie's eyes narrowed. Not everyone is qualified to come in here.
What's more, there are people guarding the surrounding tree trunks and rockery.
Seeing that his general had listened to him, Tan Min simply continued the unfinished discussion in the study, "By the way, General, King Yu sent a letter saying that Song Qin was nowhere to be seen on the way to the capital or to Guizhou. I guess he—"
Before he could finish his words, Xu Lie stopped him immediately, "Walls have ears, go inside and talk."
Tan Min realized his mistake and immediately stopped talking.
Even though the guards in the mansion were selected by him personally, Xu Lie did not completely trust them.
Song Wan didn't expect that just for some excitement, she actually heard her second brother's name from their mouths.
It seems that the man named Wang Shi did not lie to me. My second brother did escape and was not caught.
There was no sign of my second brother all the way to the capital. Either the people looking for him were not paying attention, or my second brother never went to the capital at all.
As far as I can remember, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was doing fine from the time my second brother left the capital until he disappeared.
Perhaps it was because of this that King Yu thought that the other party would flee towards the capital after escaping.
Even if Song Qin learned halfway that the Marquis of Li Weiyuan's mansion had been confiscated and the man had been exiled, and turned back to Guizhou, he would not be able to pass the layers of checkpoints set up by King Yu's men in various state capitals.
But the person just disappeared out of thin air.
Not only King Yu found this matter strange, but Xu Lie also couldn't figure it out, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the study for so long with his confidant.
Song Wan leaned forward, trying to hear more clearly.
In the study, Tan Min continued, "King Yu said that the general must find Song Qin at all costs."
Xu Lie touched his knuckles, half-lidded his eyes, and looked puzzled. "He's just a fugitive, why is King Yu pursuing him so relentlessly? His most important priority right now should be to seize military power in the southwest as quickly as possible. He absolutely cannot let the emperor snatch it away from him."
Otherwise, the Tahui Pass he was guarding would soon be swallowed up by the people sent by the emperor to take charge of the southwestern border.
When that time really comes, without Tahuiguan guarding the front, Yuzhou will be at the mercy of the emperor.
The author has something to say:
I'll continue to do it when I'm done! Trust me!
