Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Fang Qingshan quickly handed him the secret letter and said, "We will be able to descend the mountain at dusk. The surrounding floodwaters will be diverted to a remote town, and the people there have already been arranged to evacuate in advance!"

Zhan Yan's eyelids twitched suddenly. It was so fast?

As far as he knew, the people nearby had been controlled by Ye Tianqing and they refused to cooperate in moving away!

Is this a trap?

Those villagers had no idea that the floodwaters were to be released. Once the floodgates were opened, they would inevitably be drowned in the ocean.

By then, not only will you not be able to protect your homes, you won’t even be able to protect your lives!

If countless civilians were killed or injured, it would probably cause public outrage.

The Fang family army and the Yan army will inevitably be burdened with a stigma that can never be erased!

He immediately said, "Hurry up and send a letter to the old general, asking him to personally check whether the villagers of Eagle Town have really evacuated!"

Fang Qingshan shuddered all over, he understood what Zhan Yan was worried about.

He did not dare to hesitate and immediately made arrangements.

After Fang Qingshan left, Zhan Yan's expression became solemn and ugly.

He said in a cold voice: "If I'm not mistaken, the people of Eagle Town must not have evacuated. If the flood is released, those people will be killed and injured in large numbers. Ye Tianqing wants to deal with Yan's army and Fang's army without bloodshed!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and pondered, "Ye Tianqing wants to use the lives of the people of Old Eagle Town as a raft. He is so cruel!"

Zhan Yan rubbed his forehead with his hand. Because he was tied down by the common people, he was restricted in what he could do on Xiliang Mountain this time.

He sighed helplessly, "I'm too far away to do anything. I just hope the old general can successfully resolve the issue of relocating the people of Old Eagle Town. Because that area is low-lying and close to the cliff, it's the best place to release the floodwaters!"

Lin Yiwan frowned, she felt it was a bit difficult.

The old general is best at deploying troops, but he may be weak in winning people's hearts.

In addition, all the officials in the town had been bribed by Ye Tianqing, so it was no exaggeration to say that they were unyielding.

It seems that we have to think of another way.

Zhan Yan held her hand and comforted her: "It's okay, we can stay in this mountain for a few more days. The army still has some food!"

Lin Yiwan spoke in a gloomy voice, "There will be a day when the food is gone. What will we do then? We can't just starve to death, right? Ah Yan, can you please let me go down the mountain again? I'll try to convince the officials of Old Eagle Town to free them from Ye Tianqing's control!"

Zhan Yan's face suddenly changed. It was already very dangerous for her to come up with Fang Qingshan, and now she was pregnant. How could he let her leave without worry?

He subconsciously refused: "No!"

After saying that, he hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to strangle her to the bone.

She sighed helplessly and waited a moment longer!

I hope General Fang can properly resolve the problems in Eagle Town!

At this time, General Fang at the foot of the mountain received the news and immediately rushed to Eagle Town in person.

When they heard that he was coming with troops, the town officials stopped him halfway.

He said with a forced smile, "General Fang, you said you wanted to release the floodwaters, and I've already made all the arrangements. Why did you insist on coming to see this?"

General Fang hated being deceived the most in his life. He said with a sullen face, "I have always adhered to the principle that what you hear is not as good as what you see!"

The man glared at him, "What do you mean? General Fang, do you not trust me? I promise you that if anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility. Just release the floodwaters. Why do you have to see it with your own eyes?"

General Fang's suspicion grew even more serious. This incompetent official actually repeatedly obstructed him. There had to be something fishy going on.

Without further hesitation, he drew his sword from his waist and asked, "Liu Chengye, are you going to let me enter the town or not?"

As his voice fell, the soldiers following him immediately drew their swords.

The cold light reflected on Liu Chengye's pale face, making him feel guilty for a moment.

He quickly put on his playful smile and said, "Old General, don't be so anxious. We just want to go to the town to take a look. Is there any need to be so hostile? Hurry up and put away your sword. It's scary!"

He turned to look at his followers and scolded them, "What are you still standing there for? Quickly open the town gate and welcome the old general in!"

The attendant quickly agreed and hurried over to push open the heavy town door.

Liu Chengye ran up to General Fang and said, "There are absolutely no civilians staying in this town. How could I lie to you?"

General Fang glared at him and rode his horse straight into the town.

Looking around, the surroundings were quiet and it didn't look like there was anyone around.

The deputy general beside him couldn't help but ask, "Old General, could the news be wrong? Liu Chengye can't be so bold as to disregard the lives of the people, right?"

General Fang frowned and pondered: "He doesn't have such courage, but Ye Tianqing does. He is a real villain who will do anything to achieve his goal. He doesn't care about human life at all!"

The deputy general nodded, stood up and went into a house.

He searched several rooms carefully and actually found that everyone was hiding in the woodshed and shivering.

His expression suddenly changed and he dragged everyone out.

At this time, many soldiers found the civilians and brought them all to General Fang.

The moment General Fang saw those people, he was immediately frightened and broke out in cold sweats.

Fortunately, Zhan Yan reminded him to come and check it out in person.

Otherwise, once the floodgates are opened, these people will die without a burial place!

"Liu Chengye, you bastard!" General Fang grabbed his collar and lifted him up.

Liu Chengye's chubby body struggled violently in mid-air. He pleaded anxiously, "General, please calm down. I didn't expect them to stay put. I was kept in the dark!"

"Bang!" General Fang threw Liu Chengye heavily to the ground.

He fell on his face and screamed in pain.

He stumbled to his feet and questioned the people, "Didn't I tell you all to evacuate Eagle Town? Why aren't you obeying?"

The people responded one after another: "This is our home, why should we leave?"

Someone else chimed in, "I spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to build my house. If it gets damaged, who will compensate me?"

The noisy chatter of the crowd immediately made Liu Chengye feel helpless.

He looked at General Fang for help: "General, you saw it too. This isn't my fault, is it? They don't want to leave, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

How could General Fang not know that Liu Chengye was just slacking off with him? As the official of Old Eagle Town, how could he not have any solution at all?

He just doesn't want to!

He took a deep breath, dragged Liu Chengye into the alley and asked, "Tell me the truth, were you behind Ye Tianqing's instructions and deliberately causing trouble for the court?"
