First Lady of the Crown Prince

Chapter 874 Granddaughter Control (1st update)

After the south city gate was breached, the remaining members of the Han family were defeated and fled in all directions. The Jin army did not send reinforcements.

It is true that the Jin army was too lazy to care about the life and death of the Han family, but the final reason was that the other three major city gates also suffered terrible attacks.

 Hou Xuanping snatched from the hands of the Liang people their first attack on the city ordnance, which made the situation of the Jin army worse.

The Jin army originally had the geographical advantage to defend the city. It could defend the city with half of its troops, but now it had to deal with it with all its strength.

 Gu Jiao was successfully rescued, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The people rescued by Gu Jiao were taken away by Wen Renchong. He found a cavalryman to take him to a nearby medical center, while the others stood by and waited for the next task.

The old Marquis placed Gu Jiao on a small stone pier on the street in the city. The Black Wind King came over and sniffed her.

Just when Gu Jiao was about to say "I'm fine," she glanced at the old Marquis beside her and patted it gently with her hand.

 Wenren came over to the three of them.

Zhao Dengfeng looked at Gu Jiao and asked, "Commander, are you okay?"

Gu Jiao took out a small notebook and scribbled: "I'm fine."

 The three of them frowned.

What's going on?

 Why is it still written?

 Has your throat cracked?

The old Marquis clasped his hands behind his back and stood aside with a cold face. There was an unknown fire in his heart that could not be released.

Having been in Yan for so long, he has learned a lot of Yan dialect. He can understand and speak a little bit of Yan dialect that is not too complicated.

 He heard the three old members of the Xuanyuan family repeatedly mention a name - Han Ye.

 “Go and arrest him!” Li Shen said.

“It’s better for me to go!” Zhao Dengfeng said, “Your arm is injured, let the medical officer bandage it for you.”

Li Shen glanced at his left arm nonchalantly and said, "It's just a minor injury."

Wenren rushed and said, "You two stay here to guard the city, while Mr. Zhou and I will go catch him."

The old Marquis opened his mouth, hesitated, and spoke in the not-so-standard Yan dialect: "Is the man named Han Ye in his twenties, very young?"

 The three of them nodded in unison: "Yes!"

The old Marquis pointed to an alley not far away: "I wonder if the person **** inside is the person you want to arrest?"

 Zhao Dengfeng hurriedly directed two cavalrymen to go to the alley and carry out the man who was knocked unconscious and tied behind his back.

A few people took a closer look, who was this if not Han Ye?

Zhao Dengfeng’s mouth twitched: “Do you know Han Ye?”

The old Marquis said: "I don't know him. I thought he was a deserter."

 Everyone: “…”

Gu Jiao nodded seriously and gave the old Marquis a thumbs up.

 Brother, as expected of you!

 Lao Houye: “…”

Okay, Han Ye has solved it, but the matter is not over yet. Zhao Dengfeng said angrily: "There is still one month left for Liu Yi! She was the one who set up the mechanism just now! She almost killed the young commander, I will definitely catch her! Put her Shattered into thousands of pieces!"

When the three of them rushed to the city tower, although they didn't see Yue Liuyi's person, they heard her arrogant and vicious voice.

They all made her very angry.

 She is so evil-hearted at such a young age, she must be killed quickly, otherwise she will harm many people if she is kept alive!

Wenren rushed and said: "There seems to be a mechanism under the city tower. Let's go look for it later."

 The old Marquis was silent for a while, and then spoke again: "Maybe...it's not necessary."

Several people looked at him in unison.

Zhao Dengfeng asked blankly: "You won't...arrest her too, right?"

 “That’s not true,” said the old Marquis.

 The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

　That's right. You showed up not long after Yue Liuyi left. Is it fair to arrest everyone in such a short time?

 It doesn’t give the masters a way to survive at all.

Mr. Hou said: "I just moved the mechanism of the underground room. She should be trapped in it now."

 Three people: “???”

The old Marquis has been in Pucheng to inquire about information these days, but he did not sneak into the military camp or the city lord's mansion. Instead, he followed a few suspicious soldiers to a gambling house outside the mansion.

Yue Liuyi took over the gambling house and turned it into a place for her to test drugs and mechanisms.

 Lao Houye has his eyes on Yue Liuyi.

In the past few days, I tracked the trace of Yue Liu Yi, and I almost touched the agencies under her in Pucheng.

“Then, where do we go in?” Zhao Dengfeng asked.

 The old Marquis pointed in the direction: "That's right, behind that door."

Yue Liuyi is a dangerous person, so the three of them did not resort to help, but went to investigate the situation themselves.

 In the end, they found the darkroom and saw Yue Liuyi being pressed to the ground by a huge jack.

Yue Liuyi's leg bones were crushed, several ribs were broken, her Dantian was completely destroyed, and she vomited blood all over the floor.

She probably never dreamed that she would be destroyed by the mechanism she designed.

 …

 The next step is to formulate the next plan. The Han family still has 20,000 troops in the city, and the old marquis does not agree to pursue them.

The old Marquis said: "It is easy to capture the South City Gate, and it is also easy to break the defense in a short while. If the Jin army finds that they are defeated and wants to evacuate from the South City Gate, what are you going to do? Should you let the Jin army go or guard the city gate?"

 That’s right.

After all, this is not the territory of the Jin State. The Jin army will not defend it at all costs. The worst case scenario is to withdraw its troops.

 It seems that the troops here cannot be moved.

Gu Jiao took out a small notebook and scribbled: "Brother is still experienced in many battles and considers everything carefully!"

The writing is not very good, but the proud little tone is almost overflowing!

 Lao Houye turned his face away coldly.

Gu Jiao touched her chin. Brother, was he not in a good mood?

The soldiers from the Black Wind Camp and the Shadow Division repaired on the spot. Zhou Ren led his men to camp and clean the battlefield, while Zhang Shiyong went to collect and dispose of the prisoners of war. Wen Renchong and the other three returned to their respective posts, repairing armor and repairing armor. Those who cook cook, those who chop wood chop wood.

Gu Jiao sat on the stone pillar outside the camp, looking at the new information sent by the spies.

 The old Marquis sat opposite her and looked at her coldly.

Wearing armor and a helmet, with a dirty face, he looks like a tomboy.

The old Marquis had cold eyes and began to shake his legs. After shaking his right leg, he shook his left leg. After shaking his left leg, he changed his position and continued to shake his legs.

 Gu Jiao was fascinated by this and was constructing coping strategies in her mind from time to time.

 Lao Houye held his arms in his arms.

After a while, Gu Jiao still didn't look this way.

He stood up in a hurry and walked to Gu Jiao. His tall and mighty figure suddenly enveloped Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao was slightly shocked, who blocked my light?

 Gu Jiao’s stomach growled.

 She saw the brocade bag on the old Marquis's waist, which exuded an alluring fragrance.

The master frowned when he saw her drooling. He took off the brocade bag from his waist and threw it to her.

  In the kit are a few pieces of halva and a few walnuts.

Gu Jiao doesn't eat halva very much, so she took out the walnuts.

Normally, when a daughter brings walnuts to her home, she will hand them to her grandfather delicately and shyly say, "The walnuts are too hard and I can't open them. Please help me open them."

 She is doing well.

 He grabbed two of them and smashed them on his helmet with a loud bang!

The picture of the petite granddaughter in the old Marquis’ mind was suddenly destroyed by her!

 He trembled all over and looked at Gu Jiao in disbelief!

Gu Jiao handed the opened walnuts to him.

Hey, do you want to eat?

 Lao Houye: “…”

 …

But he said that on the other side, after Liao Chen and Taoist Master Qingfeng parted ways, he used Qinggong to come to the city lord's mansion.

 He came to kill Gongsun Yu.

 But when he sneaked into the city lord's mansion and searched carefully, he found no trace of Gongsun Yu.

He stood on the roof, frowning and looking at the city lord's mansion where the guard was obviously much looser, and said to himself: "Strange, where did Gongsun Yu go?"

 …

 “Your Highness, be careful!”

 In a small cowshed, Mu Qingchen reached out to support Shangguan Yan who almost missed the point.

Shangguan Yan stabilized his body, collected himself, and said, "I'm fine."

Mu Qingchen said: "It just rained, and water seeped into the entrance of the tunnel. The road surface is slippery, so be careful."

This tunnel was the route Xuanyuan Qi took with Gu Jiao and Tang Yueshan. After they came out, Xuanyuan Qi did not activate the destruction mechanism, so they could walk a second time.

 Gu Jiao drew a detailed map.

Pucheng was surrounded by war, and the concubine took Mu Qingchen and a group of masters to the tunnel to meet with Shangguan Qing.

Mu Qingchen took the lead, and the group walked down the tunnel holding torches, and the last person closed the wooden door on the ground.

The tunnel was wet, and Shangguan Yan's shoes got wet after just a few steps.

She couldn't care less about this little discomfort. Her heart was full of her son. A day and a night had passed. How was the situation in Guishan?

The south city gate has been captured, and the battle at the east city gate should also begin. I wonder if Gongsun Yu sent someone to ask Xie Xingzhou to withdraw his troops.

They don’t know that Dayan’s emperor’s eldest grandson is trapped underground in the Ghost Mountain. He won’t wait until he withdraws his troops, right?

In case Xie Xingzhou really refuses to withdraw his troops, then this passage is the only hope to rescue them.

 Qing'er, you must hold on.

Mother is here to save you.
