Chapter 202: Frighten the snake
Chapter 202 Surprise the snake
After more than a day, the posthouse was quite unusually quiet, even though it was as slow as Zheng Fengshou, and from this strange quietness, I felt a bit of depression and tension that was about to come.
Ye Anlan seemed to have nothing to do on the surface, but actually made a lot of arrangements intensively.
After another night like this, everyone finally ushered in the official day of Xie Yuan's wedding.
According to the customs of this era, Xie Yuan went out on time at noon. He rode a tall horse covered in red and colorful, followed by a welcoming team of the same color, festive and energetic.
Ye Anlan, who didn't seem to notice anything, took Yang Xiaotao and others, and found a place to observe the ancient wedding on the spot with great interest.
Unlike the ordinary people in Tancheng, Ye Anlan neither rented a restaurant or a private room in a teahouse where you could see the wedding procession, nor did she run back and forth with the wedding procession. walk on the wall.
Their flamboyant operation, which showed off the sky, stole a lot of the limelight from the protagonist Xie Yuan. At least half of the Tancheng people who followed the wedding procession to watch the excitement were discussing what the three idiots were up to.
If they had no background, how could they have the guts to do such sensitive things on such a day? Aren't you afraid of being shot down by the guards protecting Xie Yuan as an assassin?
What these people don't know is that the three Ye Anlan, who seem so weird to them, actually don't want to steal the groom's limelight at this time.
But what can they do? If they don't do this, it's not certain whether Xie Yuan's wedding can be successfully completed today.
Just last night, Chang An avoided the eyes of everyone, and quietly came to the courtyard that Ye Anlan and the others had just changed.
He was going to send news to Ye Anlan, and at the same time, he was also going to ask Ye Anlan to help Xie Yuan.
Xie Yuan's every move was watched by others, so he couldn't come to discuss countermeasures with Ye Anlan in a big way, so he entrusted Chang'an, who was very skilled and able to win Ye Anlan's trust, to help him find Ye Anlan for help.
Ye Anlan didn't know until then that the representatives of the various rebels who came here to "congratulate" had never targeted her, the little girl who was suspected of Xie Yuan's dark chess.
They wanted to kill Xie Yuan, not because they suddenly discovered the same family relationship between Xie Yuan and Ye Anlan.
The conflict between Xie Yuan’s future uncle and his righteous brother has been going on for a long time. There have long been leaders of other rebel forces who have moved to separate them, divide them, and then eat away at their thoughts bit by bit.
These people have already had private contact with Xie Yuan's future brother-in-law's brother-in-law. This time, Xie Yuan's big marriage just happened to give these people a platform to have close contact with each other in an open and honest manner.
So they all went straight into Tancheng with a large number of elite soldiers under the banner of coming to congratulate.
Although Tancheng is Xie Yuan's territory, the forces he deploys here will certainly be able to completely crush other rebel forces, but this does not prevent other rebel forces from wishing to capture thieves and kings.
The brother-in-law of Xie Yuan's future brother wants to take this opportunity to cut off the powerful foreign aid of his brother-in-law. The opportunity split the two families and hit Xie Yuan hard.
They stayed in the posthouse, pretending that they only wanted to use others but didn't want to end themselves, in order to show Xie Yuan that although they had common interests, they were separated because of their own little calculations. Unable to get together.
If Xie Yuan's vigilance is not so strong, and the monitoring of them is slightly relaxed, or if Xie Yuan's subordinates do not have those Jianghu people with high martial arts skills who can be used to listen to the wall, then these people might really be able to fight against Xie Yuan. He played tricks under his nose.
But now, Xie Yuan has seen most of their plans.
He divided half of the martial arts masters under his command to protect his fiancée. As a result, his manpower was somewhat stretched.
Fortunately, Ye Anlan is in Tancheng right now. She is clever, capable of poisoning, and skilled enough. There are still many people available under her command. She is the most suitable powerful foreign aid.
So, the moment Xie Yuan realized that he was short of manpower, he honestly and bluntly included Ye Anlan in his counterattack plan.
What can Ye Anlan do? Even if she doesn't want to act like a fool in public, for the long-term interests of her and Meng Shan, she can only pinch her nose and help Xie Yuan startle the snake.
Entrusting the people at the posthouse to Zhou Mingzhe and Wen Liuniang, Ye Anlan led Zheng Fengshou and Yang Xiaotao, who were good at skills and didn't care much about face, along the only way to welcome Xie Yuan, like a cat catching a mouse. Yes, climbing walls, jumping windows, and going up to the house all the way, tossing out an unknown number of ambushes hidden in the courtyards and houses along the street.
The three of them are in charge of weeding everywhere to find the hidden snakes and insects. Chang'an, who is far behind them, is in charge of leading Xie Yuan's elite soldiers to encircle and suppress those who have been disrupted by Ye Anlan and the others with lightning speed. Ambushes.
The two parties cooperated tacitly, and Xie Yuan arrived at the house where his fiancée lived temporarily without any risk.
After confirming the identity of the person who came, the gatekeeper slowly opened the door of the house, and then Xie Yuan saw the thick blood flowing on the ground of the house at a glance.
He took a deep breath and asked his subordinate who heard the movement and greeted him, "How is the situation?"
The Jiang Hu man sent by him to protect his fiancée wiped the sweat off his face, "There are a few insiders, luckily we arrived in time."
Xie Yuan frowned, "Are there any casualties?"
"Yes." The man led Xie Yuan in, and briefly explained the situation, "Twelve servants died, more than 30 soldiers died, and more than 140 wounded. One is that the young lady's sister-in-law was scratched on her arm."
Xie Yuan's heart skipped a beat. The women in the inner house who were protected by layers of protection were all injured, which shows how dangerous the situation was at that time.
He asked the quack, "You said there is an inner ghost, who are the inner ghosts?"
"It's a woman next to the young lady, a maid next to the young lady's sister-in-law, and the two long-term followers and a dozen rebels brought by them."
Xie Yuan was dumbfounded. It took him a while to ask back in disbelief, "So many?"
The Jianghu man nodded his head very honestly, "I don't know how the young lady and her brother choose people."
Didn’t it mean that all the trusted confidantes and confidants were selected? Why did this "credible confidant" betray nearly twenty people all at once?
If it weren't for his son's foresight to send them, who can fight, to protect the young lady, the young lady's sister-in-law and nephew, their young master would have to directly change the wedding ceremony into a funeral_( :з"∠)_
