Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 709 Mr. Yao

The candlelight was weak, and the unknown light and shadow swayed gently with the wind in the dark night.

Helan Chang'an dragged his exhausted body back to the mansion, most of the family members in the mansion had a rest, only the poor wife and a few maids were still waiting for him to return home.

This has been a habit for many years, as long as he doesn't go out, no matter how late, Helan Chang'an knows that his wife will definitely be waiting for him in the mansion.

Therefore, as long as he didn't go out, no matter how late it was, he still had to go back to the mansion.Even if the military affairs are busy, they will inevitably send someone to the mansion to say hello.

"Master, let's have a bowl of porridge!" Madam took a jade bowl from a maid and said.

Usually, if you come back at this time, most of Helan Changan has already eaten outside, so Helan Changan's wife will not prepare any complicated food, usually a simple bowl of porridge.

However, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Helan Changan glanced at the hurried figure impatiently and said, "What's the matter with the housekeeper this evening!"

He Lanmu hurriedly knelt down, his forehead dripped with sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it off. He held his breath and only kowtowed to plead guilty: "The villain disturbed the general, please forgive me."

He Lanmu expressed that he was very tired, and every time he saw the general, he was terrified to death.The general mostly slept in his wife's yard at night, and was basically out of the mansion all day during the day.Every time he saw the general, his heart was in his throat, for fear that the general would withdraw his status as a housekeeper if he got angry.

Although he was a slave of the Helan family for generations, he was not chosen by the general himself, but by the old lady, and the old lady actually didn't like her.

Therefore, the general didn't like him, so he didn't dare to deal with the big and small affairs in the mansion lightly, and it was like walking on thin ice to ask his wife for instructions on everything.

Fortunately, although He Lanmu was very afraid of the general, his wife was still very talkative. He Lanmu bowed to Helan Chang'an, lowered his head and replied respectfully: "General, Mr. Yao said he wants to see the general."

As for the so-called Mr. Yao, He Lanmu actually didn't know who he was. He only knew that he came to visit the general suddenly some time ago, and he seemed to have had a long secret talk with the general.

However, since then, he has been "entertained" by the general in the mansion.Although it was a delicious treat, it was actually no different from house arrest.

And the general would go to see Mr. Yao every few days, and each time the two of them stayed together for half a day.

Very few people in the mansion know about this matter, and only people like him who have been slaves of the Helan family for several generations are qualified to know.And these people of his were also the ones who were arranged to "protect" Mr. Yao.

If Madam Leng Yue saw Steward He trembling in shock, she didn't dare to look at Helan Chang'an, so she took the initiative to say to Helan Chang'an: "Some things should be decided. Since Mr. Yao is looking for the master, why not invite Mr. Yao to come over?" A story."

Because of her birth, the relationship with Helan Changan's mother was very tense, even to this day.

It is precisely because of this that Helan Chang'an has always disliked He Lanmu whose mother placed him in.But Leng Yueru knew that this servant of He Lanmu had been loyal to He Lan's family for generations, and that was enough, so she treated him leniently.

As for Mr. Yao, Leng Xinru knew the origin of this person clearly, but it was precisely because of this that they had to treat it with caution.Behind every successful man, there is a great woman.Few people know that Leng Xinru is the woman behind Helan Changan.

Husband and wife half their lives, Helan Changan made many decisions, behind which there is a shadow of Leng Xinru.

He Lanmu's figure was heading towards the west courtyard, while Leng Yueru withdrew from the screen behind the lobby.She is a person in the inner room, and it is in the middle of the night, so it is not convenient for her to receive outside guests.

However, Leng Yueru fell into deep thought at this moment.

Today, Han Xin's soldiers and horses just arrived outside Zuozhen City, but this evening, when Helan Changan just returned home, this Mr. Yao was already impatient to see Helan Changan.

Could it be a coincidence?

If Leng Yue doesn't believe that there is such a simple coincidence in this world, she even more believes that it is because of the other party's inner ghost in the mansion.

No, Leng Yueru quickly thought about it again!
Although she, a person in the inner room, had no direct contact with that Mr. Yao, but from Helan Changan's description, she knew that the other party was definitely not such a simple person.

There is the other party's inner ghost in the mansion, this is probably the information that Mr. Yao deliberately exposed.As the guard of the left guard, Helan Chang'an's mansion has other people's inner ghosts, so what about other places?
Mr. Yao, this move is to tell them that Zuo Zhencheng will never be able to defend, and he wants to further let go of their defenses!
"Mr. Yao, I don't know what it means to ask to see this general at night!" He Lan Chang'an said in a bad tone.

Most people would not have a good attitude towards such a capitulator.Under the background of ancient times, which emphasized filial piety and righteousness, the words "betray the lord" are definitely much heavier.

"Didn't the general already know about it?"

Yao Guangxiao didn't wait for the host to entertain him, instead he turned to the guests, sat down on a chair, poured a cup of tea and began to savor.

"General Han Xin's army has arrived, I wonder if the general thinks this Zuo Town can be defended?" Yao Guangxiao asked proactively.

"Why not?" Helan Changan asked back.

Negotiations are all about who has more bargaining chips and who has more confidence.The side with more confidence will have a greater advantage.Regardless of whether he is really confident or not, at least he has to make such an appearance on the surface.

"Han Xin has [-] soldiers, but my left town also has [-] strong soldiers. With this city, why can't it be defended?" He Lan Chang'an said confidently.

"The city of Ye has fallen, the army of Hebei Province has lost their morale, and the whole country has become a piece of scattered sand. Even if the army is strong, it will be nothing to the ear!" Yao Guangxiao said with a light smile.

Yecheng, this is the entire central hub of Hebei Road, the entire political center of Hebei Road.What is the use of military power without the political support behind it?

The important officials of Hebei Province are all in Yecheng. If it is gone here, if nothing else, who can command the orderly delivery of grain and grass to the front line?
Furthermore, no one is in charge of governing the area, and the rear is a mess, so how can the frontline battles not be affected in any way?

And so on, all aspects have a huge impact, and these will eventually affect the frontline warfare through direct or indirect means.
