On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 356 Chance Encounter
Boss Xiao quickly opened the door to let him in, and asked hurriedly: "Are you and your son okay? Do you know that something happened to your aunt?"

He was really happy to see Li Yan.

His daughter no longer has to be a widow, and someone has taken over the Chen family's troubles.

He no longer had to worry about accompanying King Liang.

Even though Prince Liang was not the emperor yet, he still had the feeling of being with a king like a tiger. He was deeply afraid that if he was not careful, the prince would be dissatisfied and his head would be unstable.

He is now lovingly married and has a young son to raise, so he is unwilling to do such a risky thing.

"Ah?" Li Yan perfectly interpreted what it means to marry a wife and forget about her mother, and asked nervously: "Is Xiao Xiao okay?"

But Boss Xiao was very satisfied with his attitude and said with a smile: "Don't worry, as soon as I saw something was not right, I picked up San'er and your mother and ran away."

"Now we are all living in your village?"

"Your aunt, on the other hand, felt that her natal village was more secluded, so she went to live there. Who knew she would be targeted anyway."

After carefully talking about the current situation, he also wanted to express himself in front of his son-in-law: "I thought about it a lot before I came up with the current solution."

"Now that you're back on your own, what should you do? It's up to you to make the decision, right?"

Li Yan was relieved when he heard that his mother and Xiao Xiao were safe and sound, and looked at him with admiration: "My father-in-law is very resourceful. If you lead the army in war, you will definitely be an invincible enemy." General…”

This was the first time that Boss Xiao was flattered by his young son-in-law, and the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up.

If he didn't know his own weight too well in his heart, he would believe that he was really a born general.

At this moment, he waved his hand: "If I continue talking, I won't even know who I am."

He asked again: "Why are you here? Dressed up like this?"

If he hadn't seen that he was wearing the clothes of a small soldier, he would have doubted whether the young son-in-law had switched sides to his master.

But if Li Yan really changed his family, he would still be an official, not just a soldier.

Then you can only sneak in.

Li Yan did not hide anything: "Our troops are ready to besiege the city, but many of the adults' family members have been detained by King Liang. I brought some people in to prepare for the opportunity to rescue them."

After King Jin'an escaped, he quickly gathered his troops.

After all, the base camp has been occupied, so it will be useless for King Jin'an's men to capture many places.

He gathered his troops and horses. The Li family and his son had almost defeated Yuzhang. After receiving the order, they had no choice but to make a truce and quickly return with their troops.

Li Yan is familiar with Fucheng, but he has often been away from the house in the past few years. Even if he simply decorated it, it would not be very eye-catching.

Fortunately, King Liang now has tight control over his subordinates. Most of the gold, silver and jewels previously seized from various mansions were taken away by King Liang. The people below inevitably complained and had to find other ways to make money.

Then Li Yan and the others suddenly transformed into ordinary people who wanted to hold an iron rice bowl.

Just give a hundred households twenty or thirty taels of silver.

Anyway, King Liang has already given orders to recruit some young people, who will be ready cannon fodder when there is another war.

Therefore, it was easy for Li Yan and others to sneak in and find out where the female relatives were imprisoned.

But the defense inside is very tight.

The guards were all regular troops, and they and other motley crews couldn't get in at all.

To put it bluntly, even if they risked their lives to rescue everyone, if they alert the people on King Liang's side, when the city gate is closed, they will be caught again.

Even Li Yan never expected to meet his father-in-law here. Unexpectedly, his father-in-law had already sneaked into the presence of King Liang.

This also allowed him to see an opportunity.

In the past, he had felt in his heart that his father-in-law was not an honest person, he was also a bit slippery and would not do bad things.

Now he discovered that the most powerful thing about his father-in-law is that he can talk to people and talk to ghosts.

It is not shameful to submit in front of your father-in-law.

Therefore, Li Yan looked at Boss Xiao with a pleading face: "Father-in-law, you are well-informed and have many ideas. Can you give me some advice?"

Boss Xiao also scratched his head worriedly: "You really think too highly of me, what can I do?"

He knew that it was definitely not good for his son-in-law to suddenly praise him so much.

But he only had half a son-in-law, and he didn't do anything to make his third son angry. He couldn't hope that something would happen to his son-in-law, so that his daughter would have the chance to remarry.

He could only say: "Your eldest brother-in-law's grandfather is very knowledgeable. Why don't you ask him?"

After saying that, he asked again: "When will you attack the city?"

"My Lord tentatively plans to attack the city in three days." Li Yan also felt that what his father-in-law said was reasonable. He just wanted to marry his mother and daughter-in-law, so he might as well go see them now.

So early the next morning, Boss Xiao went to the palace and asked the gatekeeper to bring a message to Manager Pan, saying that he had gone out to find the best fighting cock.

Boss Xiao didn't leave without saying goodbye because he was worried that he would be able to use his made-up identity in the future.

It was Li Yan who encouraged him to go.

Then, relying on the warrant given to him by Manager Pan, the father-in-law and his son-in-law left the city smoothly.

They hurried slowly and hurriedly, and just arrived at Zhuangzi for lunch.

Xiao Xiao was shocked and overjoyed when he saw Li Yan suddenly appeared.

When Aunt Mo saw her biological son, she was so excited that she almost shed tears.

After having lunch together, Xiao Xiao asked them urgently: "When will Fucheng send troops?"

"When I came out, I made some inquiries. I estimate that troops will be sent out today." After Li Yan finished speaking, he asked with concern: "How is the situation in Zhuangzi over there now?"

Jiang Yu also spoke: "Hou Er sent news earlier, saying that those who went behind were looking for Jiang Da, but now it has formed a three-legged situation."

But Mr. Jiang shook his head: "When Jiang Da and the bandits have negotiated terms, I'm afraid there will be no room for resistance in Chenjiazhuang."

"We also have sixty brothers lurking into the city," Li Yan also smiled bitterly: "I also want to save people, but they dare not leave their posts without permission until the hostages inside are rescued, and I dare not force them to help first. I'm here to save people."

The military orders were so strong that not even Li Yan dared to act rashly at this critical moment.

Xiao Xiao felt that he had entered an endless loop now.

Li Yan could not use the spies who lurked into the city unless he rescued the female relatives of dignitaries.

But the second sister and the others are also very dangerous and may be wiped out at any time.

"Then find a way to rescue those people first."

Boss Xiao quickly asked: "Then have you come up with any good ideas?"

Xiao Xiao wanted to take out his head and shake it: "Mom and dad, don't worry, let's think about it carefully."

At this moment, everyone was worried about Xiao Lian's safety, and they began to come up with ideas.
