The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband
Chapter 78 Mansion
"Sir, we have checked the ancestral hall and found nothing unusual," said the soldier outside the house.
"Retreat." The official ordered the soldiers who had entered the room to leave. Zhang Sui'an took a deep breath only after hearing the footsteps weakening.
"I have to leave the house before daybreak," Zhang Sui'an murmured.
Jiao Niang's behavior outside the mansion was also noticed by the soldiers inside the mansion, "You...what are you doing here? Why don't you get out of here?"
"My brother is missing."
The soldier walked towards the lady with a knife in hand. Seeing that she was dressed differently, he changed his tone and said, "This lady has been taken over by the military camp. Please look for her somewhere else."
Jiao Niang nodded and left, looking back from time to time. The soldier told the general who was patrolling the mansion about her strange behavior.
"That must mean there's an outsider in the mansion. Someone, come here! Turn the mansion upside down to find the person," the man ordered.
"Yes!"
Zhang Sui'an, who was still in the general's mansion, also felt that many more people had been added to the outer courtyard of the mansion, and muttered to himself, "Have I been discovered?"
He carefully stuck his head out and looked at the soldiers everywhere. Seeing that everyone was searching like a headless fly, he was sure that he had not been discovered.
He returned to the ancestral hall and looked for the secret passage in his memory. After searching the hall for a while without any results, he gave up the idea.
The beams in the ancestral hall collapsed and the secret passage has been destroyed. Now the only way to get out of the mansion is to follow the river in the mansion and use the previous method.
Jiao Niang was observing the situation at the mansion from a distance. Seeing the number of soldiers guarding the mansion increase, she felt nervous and asked, "Could it be discovered?"
Yan Sheng held her shoulders with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.
"It's us!" Huang Jing said. When Jiao Niang saw that it was the three of them, she quickly told them about Zhang Sui'an's disappearance.
"Go and take a look," Yan Sheng instructed Huang Jing.
Huang Jing climbed over the courtyard wall lightly and looked at the people below who were holding torches and searching every inch of the mansion.
Zhang Sui'an crouched and retreated to the backyard. Compared with these people, he was more familiar with the locations of the mansion and quickly reached the backyard.
I swam along the river to the outside of the mansion, and when I reached the courtyard wall, I found that they had blocked this escape route, leaving only a few bowl-sized holes for drainage.
Zhang Sui'an slapped the surface of the water with his hand and let out a disappointed "Ah!"
"It seems I have to find another way." As he was thinking, he heard footsteps in the distance. He quickly dived under the water with the reed in his mouth.
"This General Gong really just bullies our Xiao family army. I think he is targeting us on purpose." Someone on the shore complained.
"Yes! I think so too. If General Xiao was still alive, we in the Xiao family army would still be humiliated like this. Instead of going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, we were replaced and brought back, under the pretext of letting us recuperate. In fact, they just wanted us to find what they were looking for because we were familiar with the general's mansion."
"Who says it's not!"
"Okay, okay, keep looking." An older man interrupted him, "Remember this, don't say these things in front of other people, or you may lose your life."
"I know, I know..."
After several people walked away, Zhang Sui'an floated up from the water, "It seems that there is something wrong with this Deputy General Gong!" When he came to the shore, Zhang Sui'an felt someone behind him, so he drew out his magic sword and stabbed the man.
When those people were about to shout at others, they were stopped by the older man.
The man stared at Zhang Sui'an for a while, "You... little general, are you still alive?"
"What? He is General Xiao's son." The men exchanged lightly and looked at Zhang Sui'an. The older man half-knelt on the ground and said, "Young General, I am Mo Xuan, General Xiao's vanguard follower. Do you remember me?"
Zhang Sui'an saw the man's face clearly and said, "Yes, I remember. Weren't you sent by my father to garrison at the border between Balang County and Qingzhou? How did you end up here?"
When the others heard what Zhang Sui'an said, they immediately confirmed his identity.
"It was Lieutenant General Gong who asked us to come back to search for something," a man complained.
"Young General, why are you here?" Mo Xuan asked.
"I haven't been home for a long time. I want to go home and see..."
After Zhang Sui'an told them about his experience, everyone in their group was very angry. "Major General, don't worry, we will definitely escort you out."
"Hey! What are you guys doing standing there? Go and look for it quickly," a soldier outside the courtyard gate shouted, then walked towards them.
They blocked Zhang Sui'an behind them. Mo Xuan winked at the two people beside him, and the two men immediately stepped forward with a smile. Zhang Sui'an had already grasped the dagger behind his back. He was worried that he was in cahoots with them these days.
"Sir, the two of us have been searching here, but we haven't found anything useful."
After the man looked at the group and confirmed that they were from the Xiao family army, he suddenly ordered, "You guys, disperse! I want to see if anyone in your team is slacking off!"
Mo Xuan winked at the two men, and one of them covered the man's mouth from behind, strangling his neck tightly so that he couldn't scream! The other man pulled out the demon knife dagger, and with a "puff", the demon knife stabbed into his chest.
After they confirmed that the man was dead, they gestured at Mo Xuan for a while and said, "Change into that man's clothes and I will send you out of the house!"
After Huang Jing told Yan Sheng and Huang Jun about the situation in the mansion, they analyzed, "It should not have been exposed yet."
Huang Jun looked at the soldiers outside the mansion again, raised his sleeve arrow, "First, deal with the people outside the door to make some noise, and evacuate some of the people in the mansion, and then let Huang Jing go in to rescue him."
After the four of them determined their target, Yan Sheng gave the order: "Action!"
Yan Sheng raised his sleeve arrow and deliberately shot a few points off target. Six of the eight guards fell to the ground, and the other two were hit in the middle of the chest. Those two shouted to the general in the mansion: "General, there is an assassin!"
The adults in the mansion did not hesitate and hurriedly blew the whistle to notify everyone to gather. Mo Xuan asked Zhang Sui'an to find a place to hide and take him out of the mansion after they had dealt with the matter.
Huang Jun and Yan Sheng, both holding two soft swords in their hands, stood in front of the general's mansion.
"Who are you two?" the official in the mansion asked in an official tone.
"Mr. Chen Yan from Zuiyanlou!" Huang Jun swung his sword after he finished speaking. If his followers had not helped to block the sword, he would have been killed by Huang Jun.
The man was so frightened that he shrank back into the house and quickly sent a signal to the sky. General Gong, who was ten miles away, saw the signal and ordered the three armies to rush to the general's mansion with all their strength!
The man in black in the room stood up behind him and said, "This is not a problem that can be solved by more people. Let me go."
"Thank you, sir!" Gong Lingyuan said with a bow.
Zhang Sui'an's eyes tightened when he saw the signal, "Finally I know who reported it that night!!"
