Jiaohua

Guo Wanwan was indeed very obedient during this period and did not take any action against Sun Ziyi's concubines.

But after Pei Huirao found Zhu Xiaohui, she discovered that she was running a fever. She captured others and questioned them. She learned that Guo Wanwan not only did not care about the lives of these concubines, but also did not allow the doctors in the mansion to see them. So Pei Huirao went directly to find Guo Wanwan.

There was a reason why Pei Huirao chose to take action during the day, because the general's mansion would be heavily guarded after dark and extra personnel would be sent to patrol.

During the day, when she was on her way to find Guo Wanwan, she encountered almost no obstacles except for a dozen security guards who came to scold her, but the problem was easily resolved.

Guo Wanwan was eating grapes and reading a book in the house when Pei Huirao broke in. The two people who had never met before exchanged a few words. After confirming their identities, Pei Huirao pulled out a dagger and rushed forward to stab Guo Wanwan twice.

The maids nearby screamed in fear and the nuns also ran away.

Pei Huirao's two knife strikes deliberately avoided Guo Wanwan's vital points and did not penetrate her. As long as the doctor arrived in time, Guo Wanwan could still be saved.

Pei Huirao didn't kill her because she was afraid that Tian Wu would have a hard time living in the future.

But if she didn't hurt her, Pei Huirao would find it hard to swallow the anger in her heart.

After throwing Guo Wanwan, who was holding her stomach and screaming, to the ground, Pei Huirao led her men away. Following the route set by Qingque Pavilion, they quickly left Yong'an before the Jingzhao Prefecture government and the imperial guards noticed.

Also because of the pursuit of speed, they did not take detours or choose the alleys, but went directly on the widest street, with the carriage galloping all the way, and finally rushed out of the city gate.

Now, Pei Huirao could easily imagine with her toes how much of a commotion she had caused in the city by stabbing Guo Wanwan in broad daylight and snatching a beautiful concubine from the general's mansion.

This matter will inevitably cause huge pressure on Tian Wu, but she can only feel sorry for him.

Zhu Xiaohui opened the carriage curtain and looked at the autumn scenery outside the city. She turned back to look at Pei Huirao. After confirming that everything was not a dream, Zhu Xiaohui cried: "Sister Pei, the villagers said that you found a man who is a high-ranking official and your life is very good. Can you go back now?"

Pei Huirao wiped away her tears: "There's no going back."

"Is it because you saved me?"

"Don't cry," Pei Huirao smiled at her, "There are plenty of men. I'm used to seeing them in the brothels."

Zhu Xiaohui's tears fell more and more fiercely, and she threw herself into Pei Huirao's arms: "Wuwuwu..."

The next morning, at Pingyuan Temple, Lian Yin ran quickly up the mountain with the note sent by carrier pigeon.

Because she was in a hurry, Lian Yin tripped and her palm was cut.

After handing the note to Yan Qinglin, Lian Yin lowered her head and dared not speak, let alone look at Yan Qinglin's expression.

Although I didn't see the note, the red word "urgent" on it showed the seriousness of the content.

As expected, Yan Qinglin slammed his palm on the desk and roared, "Are you all going against me? Why is Pei Huirao like this too?!"

Hearing this name, Lian Yin was dumbfounded and looked up and asked, "Madam, Pei, Pei Huirao?"

You should know that Yan Qinglin has always been stingy with compliments, but regarding Pei Huirao, Yan Qinglin has praised her more than once, saying that she is smart and capable, generous and resourceful, and that as a concubine, she has firmly grasped the heart of a powerful official like Tian Wu for ten years, which is far better than the jealous and violent Guo Wanwan.

Lian Yin could never have imagined that over the past month, there had been various "surprises" one after another, but this time it was Pei Huirao who was the one who failed.

Yan Qinglin crumpled the note into a ball and threw it at Lian Yin.

Lian Yin took it and opened it. The words on the note were concise and could be read at a glance. Lian Yin was dumbfounded and looked at Yan Qinglin: "She actually stabbed Guo Wanwan!"

The note did not mention how Sun Ziyi and Tian Wu were doing now.

Lian Yin asked in panic, "Madam, will this action create a rift between General Sun and Master Tian?"

Yan Qinglin's face turned pale: "I am afraid of this as well."

"What should we do now? Madam, are you going to stay on the mountain? If you don't go back, everything will be in chaos!"

Yan Qinglin clenched his fists, and the red bloodshot in his eyes was particularly obvious.

"No!" Yan Qinglin gritted his teeth, "I can't go back, I won't go back!" "But..."

"So many things have happened, one after another, even when that little bitch led the Xia family army to play tricks on Wen Lang's army, the emperor didn't come to find me! Good, he is fine!!"

Lian Yin knelt down: "Madam, it is useless to be so angry with a man! Madam, you have lived in the mountains for a long time, and you are getting further and further away from the court. Madam, you can only go back and continue to seek power and affairs for the emperor, so that the emperor can see the good of you!"

"No, I won't!" Yan Qinglin shook his head. "I won't go back. How can I let the whole court laugh at me? Let that bitch Cao Yuxiang laugh at me!"

"Madam, you shouldn't think like that. Men should..."

"Shut up!" Yan Qinglin suddenly pointed his finger, "You want to go back, right? The poor life in the mountains makes you unbearable and you can't sit still? Well, if you want to go back, go back now, and I'll send someone to take you back!"

Lian Yin was shocked: "Madam, no! I didn't mean that! Madam, please don't chase me away!"

"Then shut up! Get out and don't disturb my peace!"

Lian Yin wiped her tears and had to get up and leave.

After the door was closed, Yan Qinglin sat in the room in a daze.

  Pei Huirao, Pei Huirao, I must kill you and cut you into pieces!

The Xia family army could not be affected at all by the ups and downs in Yong'an for the time being.

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Xia Zhaoyi, who had finally had enough of "fun", led the Xia family army out of Zheyang Road and headed straight for Beiyuan.

It was not until September 15th that Wen Lang finally confirmed that the Xia family army, which had been elusive and kept them awake at night, had completely left.

The Chief Clerk of Zhifang compiled a list of all the casualties, which made Wen Lang and his generals so proud that they vomited blood.

They suffered 112 deaths and more than 360 injuries.

The other side suffered zero injuries and zero deaths.

Their casualties were either caused by sudden attacks from the enemy or by the guards being shot dead by the enemy after they strengthened their defense.

After the first round of raids, the Xia family army ran away immediately, leaving no one with time to react!

Wen Lang's brother Wen Shuai gnashed his teeth and said, "After nearly half a month of fighting, I knew they were shameless, but I didn't expect them to be so shameless! They dared to compete with our army head-on! They only dared to do sneaky things!"

In fact, their casualties were not that many, not even as many as in the small-scale conflict with Lu Dun.

But the other party would run away after the fight, and they couldn't catch up, which was really infuriating.

The opponent's zero injuries and zero deaths are even more infuriating!

Are you always in good order and unhurried when you run?

  Otherwise, how come no one fell off the horse?

Wen Lang's cousin Zhao Xiaowei suddenly said, "General, what should we say to the emperor? We can't really..."

This zero casualties and zero deaths, please report it.

Wen Lang raised his eyes and looked at the Chief Secretary of Zhifang over there.

The hands of the Chief Secretary were shaking, but he could only bite the bullet and said, "Yes, General, I know what to do."

Wen Lang said coldly: "It's good to have more than us, don't be too exaggerated."

General Wen immediately said, "Too few is not good, His Majesty will be angry! He originally wanted us to annihilate them all..."

The military advisor and several other deputy generals felt that this matter was not a good idea because it was too easy to be exposed, and besides, they didn't even have a body to send to the capital.

Everyone was talking at once, and Wen Lang could no longer bear it. He told everyone to shut up. He looked at the Chief of Zhifang and said, "You make the decision! Leave it to me when the time comes!"

The Chief Secretary of the Zhifang Sect was about to cry, and replied: "Yes!" (End of this chapter)
