The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 235 Arresting people

Chen Yueting was shocked by Ye Xinran's straightforwardness.

Come to think of it, they are both married women, but unexpectedly, they have something strange in common in this respect.

"Really... no?"

Chen Yueting asked with some regret.

Ye Xinran said: "Indeed, it's a pity, but he is a nice guy and he takes good care of me."

Speaking of Xiao Huaian, Ye Xinran couldn't help but start imagining his life at the border.

It should be snowing at the border by now, right?

Did he win the battle?

……

When Ye Xinran returned to the Lu family, she happened to see a group of soldiers arriving at the gate of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.

The butler opened the door and talked to the officer for a while, he was so scared that he broke out in a sweat.

"My Lords, please wait a moment. I will go and ask my Lord to come back."

He said tremblingly.

"No need!"

The leading officer said, "This time we are going to take away the old lady of the Lu family, not Lord Lu, so there is no need to report it!"

As the officer was about to rush in, the butler knelt down with a thud, "My dear officials, my old lady is very old. Without the order from the Marquis, we servants really dare not hand her over!"

The official glanced at him and said coldly, "I'll tell you the truth. Your old lady's matter can be big or small. It's a blessing for him that the higher-ups didn't vent their anger on Jing'an Marquis. It's best for him not to get involved in this matter."

The butler tried to stop him, but the leading officer kicked him in the heart and kicked him aside.

A group of people walked quickly into the yard with big strides.

Ye Xinran stood there without moving.

I heard bursts of screams coming from the yard, and soon, heart-wrenching shouts were heard.

"How dare you do this to me? This is Jing'an Palace, what do you want to do?"

"My old master is the general Yuanming appointed by the emperor, and my son is the current Marquis of Jing'an. How dare you come and arrest me!"

"Let me go! I'm going to file a complaint with the emperor! I'm going to file a complaint with the emperor! I have an imperial decree, I don't know who dares to touch me!"

"Gag her and take her away!"

Shi Ming ordered his subordinates.

People like them have always been following orders. As long as they get the order from above, they will not take it seriously, no matter whether it is a marquisate or an imperial edict.

When things are good, these people can ride on their heads and shit on them, but at this point, whether it is good or bad is no longer up to them.

Old lady Lu still tried to resist, so Shi Ming simply had her tied up and taken out of the house.

Ye Xinran stood at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, admiring the scene of Old Madam Lu being led out like a dog, with no expression on her face.

Old lady Lu was already exhausted, but when she saw Ye Xinran, she pounced on her like a madman.

The officer pulled the man back with force.

"Miss, Miss!"

The housekeeper crawled to Ye Xinran's feet and said, "Please beg for mercy for the old lady!"

Ye Xinran raised her foot and rubbed the shoe he had just touched on the ground, and said, "I am a nobody and my words are not taken seriously. I don't know what the old lady has done wrong, so how can I dare to speak at this time?

"My sister is very familiar with the noble ladies of the capital, and has a good relationship with Concubine Shu. Why don't you go and ask Miss Lu for help at this time? Are you scared?"

When the housekeeper heard this, he quickly said, "Yes, Second Miss, why didn't Second Miss come out?"

The housekeeper hurried to the yard again, while Lu Zhiyi was hiding in the room shivering.

When the officials came in just now, she was with her grandmother. When she saw a man breaking in, she quickly hid in the back room and crawled under the bed.

During the struggle, the old lady called out "Zhiyi" several times, and Lu Zhiyi could only cover her ears to avoid being affected.

She is going to marry the prince in the future, how can she have anything to do with such things!

When the housekeeper found her, she had just crawled out from under the bed.

Her clothes were disheveled and the hairpins on her head were scattered all over the floor.

"Second Miss, you have many connections and know many people. Hurry up and find someone to plead for the old lady!"

Lu Zhiyi was surprised and said, "I am a weak woman, where can I get the connection?"

Seeing her like this, the housekeeper immediately knew that this approach would not work.

My Lord, now we can only count on you to come forward.

The butler wished that Lord Lu could come back right now.

At this time, Lord Lu was in the Third Prince's mansion.

"Lord Lu, didn't you say two months ago that the Kosi tribe replied to my letter and was willing to send troops to support me? Why is there no news until now?" The third prince looked pale and sick.

But his eyes were very bright, forming a strange contrast with the sickness on his face.

Lu Tingen bowed and replied, "Your Highness, I came here this time just for this matter."

He felt uneasy, guessing the Third Prince's reaction, but he had to tell the truth, "There's news from the Northern Frontier that there are suddenly garrisons at the foot of Xixia Mountain. Their generals are very capable, and they raided the Kesi base camp three times within a month. Now they are too busy to take care of themselves, and can't get out of Xixia Mountain at all."

The Third Prince looked grim and sneered, "Didn't you say that Kesi was the most powerful tribe in the northern border? And you asked me to agree to give up two cities as a condition!

Now they can't even get out of Xixia Mountain, what's the use of this kind of trash! "

Marquis Lu’s face was burning, and his back was already soaked with sweat. He said carefully: “The Western part of Nako has the best horses and land in the Northern Frontier, and their soldiers and food are the most powerful in the Northern Frontier.

At the beginning, Qi Zhonglian lost 20,000 elite soldiers before he could stop them outside Xixia Mountain. In the past few years, they have been training and strengthening their troops, and they are no longer the same as before."

"Then you still can't come out?"

The Third Prince's eyes were as sharp as a blade, which startled Lu Tingen, and he said hurriedly:

“Qi Zhonglian had been defeated, but two months ago, a mysterious man suddenly appeared in their barracks.

It is said that the man was brave and good at fighting, and was very familiar with the terrain of Xixia Mountain. He often led his troops to raid Cosi's vanguard camp through valleys and rivers.

When Cosi sent out his troops, they closed the city gates tightly and refused to come out. The two sides fought for more than a month, and Cosi was already exhausted..."

“Is this what I need to know?”

The third prince suddenly took his soft sword from his waist, and the sword came out of the sheath, leaving a shadow in the air.

Lu Tingen's legs went weak, and he quickly knelt on the ground, saying, "Your Highness, although that mysterious man is very capable, the northern border has been at war for years, and the people are living in poverty. They won't be able to hold on for long!"

The Third Prince wiped the edge of his sword with his handkerchief. "I can't hold out for long. How long? If they can't come out, do I have to wait forever? I can wait, but my sword can't!"

"no, I can not!"

Lu Tingen said quickly: "The messenger said that their leader has come up with a good plan."
