Lady Wan Guan

Ji Yunchen sneaked back to Dengzhou that night, but did not enter the city. He asked someone to bring a message to Jiang Wanning, and he settled in Wangjiatun.

In the afternoon of the next day, Jiang Wanning asked Zheng Guan to bring him a note.

Tomorrow night, at Chou time, there will be an ambush at Qilipu on the post road in the north of the city. If no one comes from Chouzheng, evacuate Dengzhou immediately and wait for me on the road to Yanzhou.

Ji Yunchen read the content on the note and frowned: "She has figured out when the Seventh Family will take action?"

Zheng Guandao: "Ms. Jiang got the news today. The Seven Families are sending people back from various villages one after another. I guess they will start taking action tomorrow night."

"Then why not tonight?"

"Ms. Jiang said it's because it's forbidden to travel today."

Ji Yunchen: Uh...

What is this strange reason?

"Ms. Jiang found out that the head of the Zhou family likes to choose auspicious days when doing things, and tomorrow is a good day."

"Is she so sure that they will take the post road at Qilipu in the north of the city?"

"Your Highness, whether the food is transported to Zhenbei Military Camp first or directly to Dayuan, Qilipu is the only way."

Ji Yunchen is skeptical of Jiang Wanning's inference, but for now he can only listen to Jiang Wanning.

Lady Jiang, I hope you are right.

"Do you know what other arrangements she has made?"

"The younger one doesn't know the specific arrangements, but she whispered to Chen Song for a long time, and then Chen Song left. Oh, by the way, Madam Jiang also said that she hoped that His Highness the County Prince could arrange for Chen Song and the others to enter the Beida Camp afterwards."

Ji Yunchen waved his hand: "These are all trivial matters."

If Chen Song can really make a contribution in this matter.

The next night, the watch drum was beaten three times. Soon after, the west corner door of the Zhou family's mansion opened, and carriages filled with food came out.

In the long motorcade, no one spoke a word. They all wrapped themselves tightly in their clothes and moved forward silently with their necks hunched.

The cold moon is desolate, and in the silent streets, there are only the sounds of horse hooves tapping and wheels rolling.

Suddenly there was a faint fragrance in the biting cold night wind.

Everyone couldn't help but take a few deep breaths and wonder, where did the fragrance come from?Only plum blossoms are in bloom at this time, but the fragrance does not smell like plum blossoms.

At this time, the horse also stopped, lowered its head and sniffed on the road.

"Go, why don't you go?"

The servant driving the cart pulled the reins and shouted softly.

But the horse was not obedient at all and kept sniffing around.

It was pitch black, and there were no torches in the team, so no one knew what had happened.

Then someone fell down.

Thump, thump... they fell down one after another.

What... what's wrong?
Anyone who realized something was wrong didn't even have time to scream before he fell down.

After about half a cup of tea, a man wearing a face covering ran out of the darkness. He stepped forward to check and made sure that everyone was unconscious. He turned around and whistled.

A large number of people came out of the darkness. They used knives to open the bags containing food, put all the food into the cloth bags they had brought, filled it and left.

One group of people followed another.

Everyone gathered their heads together in tacit agreement.

In less than one stick of incense, more than twenty carts of grain were emptied, leaving only broken cloth bags and scattered rice grains on the ground.

At the same time, the same scene was playing out in seven places in the city.

Ji Yunchen and others who were ambushing in Qilipu looked in the direction of Dengzhou City with their eyes almost bleeding.

"Jiuli, what time is it?"

"It's time for ugliness, Your Highness, we are here early."

Ji Yunchen rolled his eyes, feeling uneasy, fearing that something might go wrong with Jiang Wanning's plan.

Jiu Li suddenly put his ear to the ground, listened for a while, and said, "Your Highness, someone is coming." Ji Yunchen signaled everyone to ambush.

After a while, I saw a group of people coming from the direction of Zhenbei Military Camp.

The team stopped at Qilipu.

By the moonlight, Ji Yunchen estimated that there were about three hundred people in the shadowy place.

Good guy, Jiang Wan Ning is really awesome, the handover time and place are right.

"Your Highness, we only have 50 people." Jiuli reminded.

There is a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves. Are you sure you want to take action tonight?
They had brought a lot of kerosene, so burning the food would be fine, but escaping intact would be difficult.

Ji Yunchen's eyes were cold: "Act according to the opportunity."

Time passed by, but there was still no movement in the direction of Dengzhou City.

The commander in charge of escorting the food this time had a serious look on his face and thought to himself: Why aren't you here yet?
It was said that it would be handed over in two seconds.

Because this matter was confidential, he only told his most trusted subordinates about it, and no one else knew about it.

We can only continue to wait patiently, maybe we will be delayed due to the difficulty of traveling in the dark.

If something had happened to Commander Duan a few days ago and he was gone, otherwise such a secret mission would not have been his turn. He must handle this errand. From now on, he will be General Lu's confidant.

After another quarter of an hour, the commander couldn't help but ask the people around him: "What time is it?"

"Commander Yao, it's been three months since he was ugly."

Commander Yao's face turned dark, as the agreed time had passed.How did everyone do things?Such delays.

Commander Yao decided to wait another quarter of an hour. If no one came, it meant something had happened.

Ji Yunchen was at peace. The Zhenbei Army's people were here, so he only had to keep an eye on the Zhenbei Army.

I don't know what time they agreed on, but half an hour has passed.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, it was already the time for retreat that Jiang Wanning said.

"Your Highness, it's time to withdraw."

Ji Yunchen was unwilling to give in and had not seen the grain truck yet.

"Your Highness, it's time to withdraw. If the grain truck doesn't show up now, Lady Jiang must have succeeded." Jiuli reminded.

Ji Yunchen gritted his teeth: "Withdraw!"

He really couldn't think of any method Jiang Wan Ning used to stop this.

Commander Yao couldn't wait any longer, so he waved and whispered a few words to his confidants, who led a dozen people towards Dengzhou City.

When they came to the city gate, they called for it to be opened. After asking, they found that no one had left the city after the gate was locked.

They went straight to Zhou's house of the Seventh Family. Halfway there, they found a convoy parked on the road. All the food on the twenty-odd carriages was gone, leaving only torn bags, and the people transporting the food were lying neatly on the street. side.

Too bad, the food was looted.

The heads of the seven families were woken up from their sleep. When they heard that the food had been stolen, they were so shocked that their sleepiness disappeared and they got up quickly.

When he arrived at the scene of the incident and saw the empty grain truck, the head of the Zhou family almost fainted.

"Check, check for me. Find the people who dig three feet into the ground to steal food." The head of the Zhou family roared.

In the Zhou family's nursing home, the servants knocked on the door from door to door and asked the nearby residents, but no one heard any movement at night.

The servants who had fainted were stunned after being splashed with cold water.

I just said I smelled a fragrance, and then I didn’t know anything else.

Soon everyone got the news that the grain truck had been looted, and they all panicked.

Many people are destined to have trouble sleeping this night.

It's just that some people are angry and panicked, while others are excited and a little nervous because their rice jars are full.

But that person said that as long as everyone insists that they bought the food themselves, everything will be fine.Because they left no evidence.
