On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 357 Rescue
Xiao Xiao finally understood the current situation.

For people like them, trying to save people is almost like sending death.

We still have to rescue the family members who are under house arrest first, so that Li Yan's colleagues can be free to help.

Their fifty or sixty people can definitely fight one against three, and with their support, they can rescue people.

Xiao Xiao asked again: "They all have more female relatives, right?"

"Yes, there are thirty-eight female dependents." What Li Yan is worried about is that there are so many female dependents. They are not very strong and timid, and will only hold them back when encountering problems.

Of course, if the imprisoned female relatives were as cooperative as his own mother, or as capable as his wife and aunt, then he wouldn't have to worry so much.

Xiao Xiao was a little surprised when he heard this: "Just such a small number of people? I saw that they arrested a lot of people before. I thought there were at least hundreds of people?"

"Originally there were more than 300 people, but there were too many people and too many trivial matters. Food, drink, and accommodation were all a burden." Although Li Yan had only been in for two days, he got a lot of inside information: "There are still people who want to live or die. , causing headaches for the stewards, and in the end, only the important female family members were left in each house, and the other female family members were put back. "

After all, King Liang wanted to blackmail the generals and adults by arresting people.

Rather than wanting to make enemies with all those generals.

If something happens to their family members in his hands, then even if they want to take refuge in him, they will not be able to get over the hurdle in their hearts.

After all, they are civil servants and military generals, and they all care about face.

Therefore, King Liang simply left only one important female dependent in each family, such as the head mother.

Anyway, it's either their mother, the wife they are planning to marry, or their children.

But neither the mother nor the daughter-in-law wanted to keep the child.

So much so that there are now thirty ladies inside, all in their late forties.

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao felt that he had suffered a huge loss: "If I had known this, then I wouldn't have had to run away, right?"

She was the daughter-in-law of a concubine. In the eyes of Prince Liang and others, her weight was too light.

Li Yan suspected that she was thinking that her official position was low, so he quickly said: "When I escort Prince Jin back to the palace, I will definitely be promoted again."

Xiao Xiao listened to the meaning in his words and was very optimistic about King Jin'an.

She felt that she couldn't understand the thoughts of the person above, so all she could do was believe him.

Therefore, she also came up with a bad idea: "I have an idea, that is, it will damage the reputation of the ladies."

Li Yan was delighted: "Then tell me quickly?"

"Didn't my father catch up with Prince Liang?" Xiao Xiao looked at Li Yan and said the good idea that came to him: "Then you will say that these people were ordered by Prince Liang to be sent to Zhuangzi quietly. superior."

Li Yan took a breath: "You, how could you come up with such an idea?"

There was some hesitation: "But their age is not suitable?"

Who knows that nowadays people like to have early births and have children early, and it is normal for them to become grandmothers before they are forty years old.

How many years older than King Liang are there?
"It's not difficult. The old cucumber is painted with tender paint to pretend to be tender." Mrs. Wu, who sneaked in, couldn't help but express her opinion when she heard this: "Those ladies are usually pampered and have fine skin and tender flesh. They take care of themselves." Very good.”

"The more you apply it on your face, the younger you will look."

Wu felt that Li Yan was still young after all and had not experienced many things, so she smiled at him: "You are a serious person, so you don't have those messy thoughts."

"You don't know, some people like older women, then..."

Xiao Xiaoshen was afraid that her second aunt would say something inappropriate for children, so she hurriedly coughed and said, "You don't know, if a woman dresses up beautifully, it is pleasing to the eye."

"If you don't dress up well, it's terrible." When she said this, her eyes lit up: "It's a little difficult to make people look young and beautiful, but it's not difficult to make people old and ugly, right?"

"It's a big hermit in the city. It's not easy to bring everyone out, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a place to put them for a day or two, right?"

Boss Xiao blurted out: "Even if there is a strict investigation in the city, there will definitely not be a strict investigation in the land of fireworks."

It's not that he was thinking about the place with bright flowers and green willows, but that the Xiao family used this excuse to escape from the city.

Li Yan sincerely admired and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "You should pay more attention. I should have come to you to make decisions long ago."

He was also in a hurry to go back and stood up to say goodbye: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has to say goodbye first. When things in the city are settled, I will ask my brothers to rescue people."

But even though he said he was leaving, his eyes stayed on Xiao Xiao and he couldn't bear to move away.

That meant that he wanted Xiao Xiao to send him off.

When Xiao Laoer heard that he was leaving, he hurriedly asked: "Master Li, is my elder brother following you to Fucheng now?"

Before Li Yan could speak, Mrs. Wu rolled her eyes at her man: "What do you call me, sir? This is our niece-in-law, who is one of our own."

Then he smiled flatteringly at Li Yan: "Is Da Lang okay? If you think he is useless, then let him come home."

"Look at our big family, we have a lot of things going on. The absence of Da Lang has made San'er and the others suffer."

Pity the parents of the world.

Most parents don't like their sons to serve as soldiers. They have no eyesight on the battlefield, and they are afraid that something will happen to them.

Xiao Laoer and Mr. Wu would rather their son do some small business and live a normal life.

I only regretted that I had been soft-hearted and allowed my eldest son to follow Li Yan.

Originally, they could lie to themselves that if they followed Li Yan, they would be able to protect him.

But now that Li Yan was going through life and death, they were even more worried about their son.

"Second uncle and second aunt, don't worry." Li Yan replied honestly: "Dalang didn't follow me out. Is he still practicing in the camp?"

Like this time, the people they sent out on the mission were all good at martial arts and quite clever.

Even if Xiao Dalang wanted to come, he wouldn't be able to get there?

Xiao Laoer and Wu looked at each other.

Logically speaking, they should be relieved and happy that their son was not in a dangerous place.

But why is there something unpleasant in my heart?

Xiao Xiao felt that it was not easy for them to participate in this topic. If they wanted to support Xiao Dalang and follow Li Yan, if something happened to him, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

But if you don't support it, you can't bear to see Xiao Dalang looking depressed.

She stood up immediately: "My aunt and I will take you out."

Aunt Mo declined with a smile: "I won't go, thank you Xiao Xiao for seeing him off for me."

In the past, she used to call her the eldest mistress, but calling her by her daughter-in-law's name in Zhuangzi seemed a bit unfamiliar. After Mrs. Liu and the others persuaded her, she took advantage of the situation and called her daughter-in-law's name.

Now she finally understood that her son was also thinking about Xiao Xiao. After he came in, he couldn't help but glance towards her.

It's a pity that Xiao Xiao seems to have not yet enlightened himself and is not reluctant to leave his son.

Now she must let the young couple get along more and talk more.
