Chapter 240 I suspect it was Lan Wanxi who did it
When Lan Shurong saw Jiang Yixuan coming back, she looked at her with a face full of grievance and said, "Cousin, I just went to the street to buy some things, but I didn't expect that I was robbed by a group of beggars."
When Jiang Yixiuan heard that the master and servant were robbed like this by beggars, he said "useless" to them and left.
Lan Shurong quickly caught up with him and said, "Cousin, I suspect Lan Wanxi was behind today's incident."
Jiang Yixuan looked back at her and asked impatiently, "Do you have any evidence?"
Lan Shurong shook her head and said, "I don't have any evidence, but Lan Wanxi did say that she would beat me every time she saw me."
"Did she beat you in Medicine King Valley?" Jiang Yixuan said, looking at her with disdain, "Please use your brain when you speak and act in the future."
After Jiang Yixiuan finished speaking, he left without looking back.
But he didn't walk a few steps before returning to her and saying, "You both have the surname Lan, and you are the eldest sister. I really don't understand why you are so different from Lan Wanxi."
He didn't understand Lan Wanxi before, and always thought that she was just a concubine's daughter and not worthy of his attention. But after several negotiations, he knew that this Lan Wanxi was not simple at all.
What's funny is that he used to laugh at Jiang Dichen for going crazy for a lowly concubine's daughter, but now it seems that he is the most blind one.
"Cousin, I..." Jiang Yixuan interrupted Lan Shurong and said, "Okay, go back to your room. We will return to Beiming early tomorrow morning."
After Jiang Yixiuan finished speaking, he left without even looking at Lan Shurong.
Lan Shurong saw her cousin treat her like this, which made her hate Shen Ruolan even more. In Lan Shurong's opinion, all her misfortunes were brought to her by Shen Ruolan. She clenched her fists, looked up at the sky, and said with a ferocious face: "Lan Wanxi, I will not let you go."
Song'er was a little scared when she saw her master like this, but she still mustered up the courage to persuade her, "Master, let's go back to the room."
Lan Shurong nodded to Song'er and followed her into the house.
At this time, outside the border of Beiming City, the Yan army had arrived here for half a month. They had been attacking for ten days in a row but had not been able to defeat the Beiming garrison. This made Wei Biao extremely furious.
He paced back and forth in the tent, cursing loudly: "Fuck him, how come the Beiming garrison is so good at fighting?"
The war had begun for ten days, but they couldn't even open the first gate.
The deputy general at the side said to Wei Biao: "General, I heard that the garrison troops in Yicheng are Jiang Dichen's subordinates. It is normal that they are difficult to attack."
It is said that like master, like subordinates. Jiang Dichen is so cruel and ruthless that few of his subordinates are easy to deal with.
After hearing what his subordinates said, Wei Biao snorted coldly and said, "Really? Then I want to see how powerful Jiang Dichen's subordinates are."
After he finished speaking, he loudly ordered his subordinates: "Come here, pass the order down, continue the attack at 3:30 pm, and we must capture Beiming City within three days."
"Yes, master." After Wei Biao's subordinate finished speaking, he quickly turned around and went to pass on the order.
The deputy general beside him quickly advised him: "General, the soldiers haven't had a good rest for two days. It's not appropriate to rush to attack now."
It is a hot day now, and the soldiers have been attacking the city for two days in a row. They are almost dehydrated. If they don't take a rest and replenish their strength now, he is really worried that they will end up losing more than they gain.
Wei Biao came out of the tent. He looked at the city gate not far away and sneered, "Don't worry, it's definitely not just our soldiers who are tired."
What he wanted was to wear down the enemy and then quickly attack Yi City. As long as they entered Yi City, their subsequent battles would be much smoother.
Seeing that his persuasion was futile, the deputy general had no choice but to accept the order and go about his work.
In Yicheng, Jiang Dichen arrived with reinforcements yesterday evening. General Dong, who was in charge of guarding the border, asked Jiang Dichen, "General, do we need to take the initiative to attack?"
Jiang Dichen stood on the tower, looking at the enemy camp and said to General Dong: "No need, since they want to enter the city, we should use their trick to help them."
Jiang Dichen's words made General Dong a little confused. He looked at him with a worried look on his face and said, "General, if this city gate is opened, I'm afraid..."
General Dong did not continue to say the rest, but he believed that his general understood what he meant.
Because the gate of Yicheng is a very important checkpoint for them in Beiming. If it is opened rashly, many possibilities will arise.
Jiang Dichen glanced at General Dong, gave him a mysterious smile and said, "Who said that I would open the door for them to come in?"
After Jiang Dichen finished speaking, he instructed his subordinates behind him: "Come here, pass the order and ask the people of the city to retreat to the outside of the South City Gate within an hour."
"Yes, General." The subordinates behind Jiang Dichen responded loudly.
Jiang Dichen then looked at General Dong and ordered loudly: "General Dong, please obey my orders."
General Dong immediately bowed and said to Jiang Dichen respectfully, "Please give your orders, General."
Jiang Dichen looked at General Dong and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "General Dong, you must immediately count 5,000 soldiers from the north gate to the south gate. After the people of the city have left the city, immediately close the gate. No one is allowed to open it without my order."
"Yes, General." Although General Dong was puzzled by the sudden mobilization of troops, he silently followed the order and went to do his job because he trusted his master.
After Yan Mo and the others left, he asked his master, "Master, do you think that Wei will be fooled?"
Although their master didn't say anything, because they knew him too well, generally speaking, they would understand what his master wanted to do with just a look from him.
Jiang Dichen said: "Whether he is fooled or not, it will not be a loss to us."
If Wei Biao doesn't come, his army can rest for two days. If he comes, he can take the opportunity to catch the turtle in the jar.
Yan Mo said: "Master is right."
At this time, Shi Nie came over with a bowl of noodles and said, "Master, it's time for lunch."
Originally, his master was going to have lunch in the military camp, but his master was too busy to go back, so Shi Nie had to bring it over.
Jiang Dichen saw Shi Nie bringing the meal over. He took the bowl and asked Shi Nie, "How is the news I asked you to find out?"
Shi Nie told his master the truth: "My master, I have already found out that the Madam and the two young masters are currently in Jieshan Yao City. If I am not mistaken, they will probably take a shortcut from Xia Country to Cangling City."
Jiang Dichen, who was eating noodles, heard that Shen Ruolan and her son were in Jieshanyao City, two cities away from him. He paused for a moment, quickly finished his noodles, and instructed Shi Nie: "Write a letter to Mu Jin, asking her to find a way to support Madam's trip. This king..."
