Traveled through time with my ex-boyfriend [Chang Tian]

Chapter 87

【Just... accept your fate like this? 】

The court's army came aggressively.

Different from the previous hesitation and temptation, this time the court has an unprecedented unanimous opinion—to win over Ye Fan and get the fruit seeds.

The results left behind by Vice General Fan let them see the huge benefits hidden behind it, and of course, there is also a crisis—if it is in the hands of the enemy.

Those in power were worried that Li Yao would use this as a bargaining chip to win over the court and establish prestige among the people; the governors from all over the country were also worried that Daning would use this to recruit troops and make his family dominate.

Therefore, the forces of all parties hit it off, and the three defenders of Jingzhao Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion, and Xijing marched towards Daning at the same time.

King An was sitting in Anzhou, he did not respond to the capital's orders, nor did he stand by Li Yao's side, obviously wanting to reap the benefits.

An Rong knew that he couldn't talk to King An, so he sent Ye Fan [-] carts of New Year's goods in the name of exchanging noodles.

In fact, there were hidden boxes under the flatbed trucks, and even the escorts didn't know that they belonged to An Huai, the son of Prince An.

If An Rong hadn't offered to ask An Huai's people to escort the cars in the name of changing noodles, these cars wouldn't be able to get out of the city at all.

"Isn't it just a pig's head, a bull's head, and a deer's head? There are also local people in Daning, so why ask someone to send them all the way?"

Ye Fan poked at the pigskin, tapped the horns of the goat, and muttered in a low voice: "It looks like a fight is about to start, not to mention bringing someone over to help, but also wanting my face fruit, I usually treat him as a friend!"

Hearing his dissatisfaction, Li Yao didn't defend An Rong at all - even though, he already knew in his heart that An Rong's move was definitely not for sending three animals, let alone for changing face.

When the convoy entered the village, he noticed that there were obvious ruts on the compacted road surface, which showed that the vehicle was very heavy.

What's more, the twelfth lunar month has not yet arrived, but the New Year's gift is delivered early, and it is still in this sensitive period, which does not look like An Rong's style.

Li Yao squinted his eyes looking at the "Jie Li" on the car.

In ancient times, when a sword was made, the heads of three animals were sacrificed to the gods after the sword was made. The three animals used were pigs, sheep and deer.

What An Rong meant was self-evident.

Li Yao winked at Mo Bai.

Mo Bai understood immediately, and with a smile he invited the soldiers escorting the carriage to drink.

Under An Huai's orders, these people didn't dare to leave the car at first, but they couldn't hold back Mo Bai's eloquence, and finally they couldn't hold back, and were dragged by Mo Bai to the Li family's big stove to eat noodles and pastries.

Ye Fan gave Li Yao a thumbs up, "The people around you are better than each other."

Li Yao smiled, "Second Sister called twice, don't delay, let's go eat."

"Aren't you coming? My sister said that today I steamed the steamed buns, and there are sweet buns."

When he said this, Ye Fan's tone was a little low - thinking about the current situation, I really don't know how long this peaceful life can last.

Li Yao lowered his eyelids and looked at him intently.He raised his finger, put the belly of his finger next to the corner of his mouth, and lifted it up.

"Childish." Ye Fan raised the corner of his mouth, and put his elbow on his chest, "I invite you to dinner, do you want to go or not?"

"You go first, I'll come later."

"Then let's eat first, we won't wait for you."

"it is good."

"Don't worry, I'll leave you two steamed buns that look like mice, haha!"

Ye Fan took advantage of the verbal advantage, and ran up the slope with a smile.

The white deer didn't enter the yard, but went to the south slope to eat mushrooms.

The fat group looked at this, then at that, finally waved to Li Yao, and flew to find Ye Fan.

Li Yao stood with his hands behind his back, until Ye Fan's figure disappeared from sight, then he withdrew the warmth in his eyes, and walked towards Li's manor with a serious expression.

Thirty carts of flatbeds were neatly parked in the inner courtyard—this was the safest place in the entire manor, where it was least likely to be prying eyes.

The female relatives in the courtyard had already avoided the order of the second lady.

Li Yao ordered people to remove the pig's head and sheep's head from the car, and pry the car board open, revealing a black box more than five feet long and three feet wide.

The camera obscura is filled with thatch, and among the thatch are sharp arrows!

Without Li Yao's words, the attendants excitedly disassembled the rest of the cars one by one. Sure enough, there were all hidden boxes. In addition to the arrows, there were also long knives, guns, etc. in the box.

Mo Qing was amazed, "Wrapped in thatch, it won't make the sound of copper and iron colliding. Remove the wooden pole and only leave the arrowhead, which can hold ten times more. This An Erlang is really smart!"

It has to be said that these [-] carts of "gifts" are indeed very helpful to Li Yao.

"Don't make a fuss about it."

"Immediately order someone to rebuild the car, and remove the black box."

"Don't leave any openings."

Mo Qing responded one by one.

After thinking about it again, I couldn't help asking: "Isn't Xiao Lang talking about it?"

"Needless to say." Li Yao replied without hesitation.

Mo Qing was stunned—if I remember correctly, these rituals are for Ye Xiaolang, right?

Li Yao raised his eyebrows, "What's the problem?"

"No!" Mo Qing replied instinctively.

Li Yao nodded in satisfaction, and left with his hands behind his back.

In that small kiln yard, Fanfan was waiting for him to eat, and left him flower buns wrapped in sugar.

Although... it looks like a mouse.

***

After people from all walks of life came to Daning, they realized that things were not as easy as they thought.

Let's talk about the Taiyuan defenders first. They didn't even see the city wall of Daning County, and they were beaten up by the Jinzhou army who had already ambushed.

The Jiedushi in Taiyuan is a coward, and when he is over half a hundred years old, he only counts on such a small number of people to provide for the elderly. He died in just one battle, and lost a lot of injuries for no reason.

——Come on, I don’t want noodles anymore, I’m going home to take care of my grandson!

When Li Yao heard about this, he sent someone to send over a thousand catties of noodles, firstly as a reward for his knowledge, and secondly as an exchange for those people.

There were originally many Jinzhou people in the Taiyuan army, but it was only by letting the little lady with a clear voice sing a few hometown ditties that thousands of people were attracted.

A catty of noodles can be exchanged for a few people, this deal is extremely cost-effective!

The Taiyuan Jiedu envoy was moved to tears, and huddled in his wife's bed and whispered, "As expected of a descendant of the Li family, it is Bi Shi who will come to trouble!"

"That person didn't expect it, so you just say it with empty teeth, do you believe it?"

"Isn't this time to join in? After receiving your letter, I withdrew my troops."

"This time it's you who ran fast, and the Li family boy has a big belly, so you can grow some food in the future."

"Okay, okay."

——Not only cowardly, but also afraid of his wife.

Well, definitely a virtue.

The rest are the defenders of Jingzhao Mansion and Yanzhou.

Let's talk about Jingzhao Mansion first, that is the Chang'an City of the previous dynasty, the headquarters of the Li family, and even the defenders were reorganized from the former Imperial City Army.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were three armies in Beijing—Jinwu Guard, Feilong Guard, and Imperial City Army.

The Jinwu Guards stationed in Da Nei are the emperor's personal soldiers, the Feilong Guards are the personal guards of the reserve army, and the Imperial City Army is the reserve of these two teams. At the same time, eight out of ten generals in the Imperial City Army can be called One is from two guards.

Li Yao confirmed not long ago that Huanghedian's private soldiers were formerly Prince Yude's Feilongwei.

Li Yao moved his fingers and sent the Hedian army to take care of the Jingzhao army.

As soon as the two sides met, Jing Zhaojun, who had originally dragged [-] to [-] people, was stunned, especially those generals who shouted to break the city, all of them were shocked——

"Li, Lieutenant Li, you, you, aren't you dead?"

"You fucking died, I'm alive and well!"

"Boss! Are you still alive?"

"Live well!"

……

In this way, the war scene that was originally on the verge of breaking out has evolved into a large-scale confession scene.

These people were originally single, or their family members were not in Jingzhao Mansion, and they were not afraid of being retaliated, so they surrendered very simply.

Of course, not all of them have old friends, the new generals promoted by Shi Qiu accounted for most of them.However, before they could take any action, they were tied up by people from the old Imperial City Army.

In fact, these people have had grievances for a long time, and now they just have an excuse to explode, and the existence of Li Yao also gave them confidence.

In this way, except for those who were killed and captured, the Jingzhao defenders were all incorporated into the Hedian army.So far, the Hedian army left by Prince Yude has grown from 15 to [-].

The Xijing army is Shi Qiu's old subordinate, and they are loyal, so naturally they will not be as easy to deal with as the other two groups.

Li Yao was ready to fight hard.

How do you know, he has the guts to resist, but he can't stop others from being cheap.

In terms of his attitude towards the Li family, Shen Xiong agreed with the officials, and is now a celebrity in front of the palace.

He gave the Xijing Army an idea and ordered people to hang a "wooden bird" to glide over Daning.

The so-called wooden bird is actually a simple wooden plane, which combines woodworking and mechatronics. It can not only glide by the wind, but also adjust its height and direction.

The man on the wooden bird looked very proud, wailing and flying in circles while dropping leaflets.

Shi Qiu invested enough capital, just like pen, ink and paper cost nothing, and printed thousands of copies, almost every one of the Li family troops guarding everywhere and the people in the ten miles and eight towns got a copy.

Ye Fan's portrait was drawn on the flyer, and a few words were written on it.The common people are illiterate and don't know what is written on it at all, so they just read it as a rarity.

As for what was said on the paper, it came from Beilai Village——

"The high official of the imperial court said, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as Ye Xiaolang is captured and handed over to the military master outside the city alive, he can get the reward and return it to the official!"

Before the wooden bird left, these words had already spread throughout the village.

If you can get rewards, you can also be a high-ranking official!

An official as big as... the Marquis of Chang'an?

Is anyone excited?

Imagine there will be, even if only for a moment.It's just that no one said anything, and no one took any action. They just looked at the portraits on the paper and thought about each other.

Not today, not tomorrow, maybe someone will be the day after tomorrow.

This is what Shen Xiong came up with.

He wasn't stupid enough to really rely on the villagers and ordinary soldiers to catch Ye Fan, just to cast a cluster of sparks, a cluster of sparks that could set Daning and Li's army on fire.

The leaflets landed in the Ye family's cave——

Second Sister Ye turned pale all of a sudden, and almost collapsed on the ground, but was fortunately supported by Guan Erlang.

Aunt Yu yelled angrily, "Which one has no conscience, what does my Xiaolang have to do with it?"

The leaflets landed on the Li Family Manor——

Li Sanlang raised his long whip, his face was livid, "I don't have the guts to go to war, but I'm using such dirty tricks, Shen Xiong, I'll meet him!"

Li Silang's face was cold, he didn't say anything, he just followed behind him firmly.

Li Yao stood on the attic and drew the longbow to its full capacity.

There was a clang, and there was a scream in the air, and the person who had just been showing off his power with the wooden bird fell to the ground like a rotten persimmon.

died.

The huge wooden bird was smashed to pieces, and the dark red blood stuttered out from the shattered stubble.

The little ladies screamed in terror.

Ye Fan also turned pale.

This was the first time he saw a living person die in front of him.

He looked up at the attic, but he couldn't see anything, he just instinctively looked for Li Yao.

As early as the moment the wooden bird fell to the ground, Li Yao had already come down from the attic and headed towards the west slope.

Ye Fan saw his figure from a distance, and staggered towards him.

"Dead..."

In front of him, Ye Fan did not hide his fragility at all.

"I know." Li Yao circled his body with a calm tone, "I killed it."

Ye Fan trembled when he heard the words, and raised his head in a daze——Li Yao...killed him?

Forgive him, he couldn't accept this setting for a while.

Of course, he didn't think Li Yao was at fault, but simply couldn't imagine that he would kill someone, especially... for him.

Ye Fan didn't know if he blamed himself more or was more shocked.

Li Yao pursed his lips, determined to make him realize the fact, "Fanfan, this is not the first person to die by my hands, nor will it be the last."

Ye Fan stared at him blankly, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Yao brushed up the broken hair on his forehead, his tone slowed down, "Don't worry, I won't kill innocent people."

Ye Fan's mind gradually came to his senses. Yes, he should rest assured that even if Li Yao killed someone, it would be on the battlefield and would not harm innocent people.

There was a commotion on the slope, and Ruan Yu led his men and escorted a person over in a hurry.

Ye Fan was a little surprised. The person they were betting on was... Liao Hao?

The people from Beilai Village followed, some were as surprised as Ye Fan, some were puzzled, and some were angry.

"Master Hou, the man is here." Ruan Yu grabbed Liao Huan by the collar and threw him heavily on the ground.

Li Yao pursed his lips and glanced lightly.

This indifferent look greatly stimulated Liao Hao's nerves. With his hair loose, he tried to raise his neck, and said word by word:

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, intending to steal the country, will not die!"

Words filled with righteous indignation are neither painful nor itchy to Li Yao.

Ruan Yu kicked him bitterly, "Shut your stinky mouth!"

Liao Hao was just an ordinary scholar, and he spit out a mouthful of blood after being kicked by him like this.

The person who didn't know the truth couldn't bear it, and wanted to intercede for him, but was stopped by others—not to mention, he was not worthy of sympathy just because he intended to murder Ye Xiaolang.

It has to be said that Ye Fan's kindness did not feed the dogs. In comparison, the people in Beilai Village were more determined than the rest - they would never hurt Ye Xiaolang.

Liao Hao was escorted away, still yelling.

Li Yao didn't even frown, as if he didn't care at all.

Ye Fan couldn't bear it anymore, and loudly argued against his back: "What do you mean by 'rebellious officials and thieves'? Isn't Shi Qiu? Where did he get his throne from?"

Liao Hao suddenly became hoarse.

Li Yao saw that he was blushing and had a thick neck, so he patted his back funnyly.

He has no intention of stealing the country at all, why should he scold him?Even if they gather refugees and train private soldiers, it is only for self-protection.

"Will he die?"

Ye Fan calmed down, but couldn't bear it.After all, Liao Hao is also considered a talent, and has done a lot for Beilai Village.

"Maybe, maybe not." Li Yao looked straight into his eyes, "The war is just around the corner, and more people will die, and there will be others if not Liao Hao."

He hoped that Ye Fan could understand, protect himself, and at the same time not feel sad for people who don't care.

Ye Fan was startled, as if he had just realized that today, it seems that he has reached the point of immortality.

Just... resign yourself to fate like this?

No.

Ye Fan shook his head.

He is not an ancient person, he will not, and should not easily succumb to this era!
