Chapter 221 Reinforcements Arrive
"Mr. Prefect!!! The assassins inside, please release our Lord Prefect!! You are surrounded. If you release our Lord Prefect now, we can still leave you with an intact body."
Li Wanhua ordered people to throw away the body of Magistrate Wu.
He said loudly: "If you dare to rush in, the rest of the Yang prefects will end up like this."
The enemy soldiers didn't expect the assassin inside to be so vicious. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!!!" I don't know who shouted first.
Only then did everyone discover that a fire had broken out where the food and grass were stored.
The young general hesitated for a moment, then left some people to continue to surround the tent and think of a solution, while the rest went to put out the fire.
When Li Wanhua heard the sudden shouting outside, she knew that her team members had already started to take action.
So he immediately asked Fox and others for help, stripped off Magistrate Yang's clothes, put them on himself, then let his hair down, and took a handful of blood from the dead body and smeared it on his face.
The fox took advantage of this opportunity to set the military tent on fire, and then slapped Governor Yang in the face to wake him up.
When Yang Zhifu woke up, he saw the fox smiling and pointing the dagger at him. With murderous intent in his eyes, he couldn't help but yell in fear: "Ahem, help me..."
But my neck felt cold and I couldn't scream anymore.
Li Wanhua stepped forward and kicked him to the ground, then stabbed him again in the chest. Seeing that he was dead, she nodded to Fox and the others, and ran towards the military tent.
"Help, quick! The thief was stabbed by the guards, quickly catch the thief inside! Where is the military doctor? I'm injured!!!" Li Wanhua lowered her voice and imitated the voice of Governor Yang.
The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yang Zhifu and his guards suddenly running out with blood all over their faces and disheveled hair. They rushed in without thinking.
Li Wanhua took the opportunity to separate from the team members and ran to different places.
"Prefect Yang is dead! That one was a fake prefect! Chase him quickly!!!" Soon the voice of a soldier was heard from behind.
However, many soldiers were busy putting out the fire and did not hear it.
Li Wanhua took off her clothes and tied up her hair while running, revealing the soldiers' clothes underneath. When no one was paying attention, she mixed in with the firefighting team.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly blocked Li Wanhua's way: "I caught you."
……
It's getting dark.
The enemy did not attack again. The people and soldiers were all happy, except Yunyue, who was becoming more and more panicked.
Wanhua...you must come back alive...
Lingyao brought a glass of water and said, "Master, do you want to go back to the mansion and rest for a while?"
"No, I can't leave yet. How is that Zheng?" Yunyue was referring to Zheng, a grain merchant in the city. I don't know where he got the courage to raise the price of grain at this time.
Yun Yue was in a bad mood, so he asked Chu Ren to bring people to capture him.
"Humph, of course he was scared to his knees and begged for mercy. He was quite brave when the price was raised, but now he is scared. Chu Ren dragged him out in front of the people, beat him with 20 boards, and then fined him 5,000 taels. The people cheered, and the other merchants also behaved themselves."
"Well, Lingyao, the merchants who provided the oil and medicinal materials this time, remember to remind me to reward them after this matter is over. Those who made mistakes will be punished, and those who actively cooperate with the government will also be rewarded."
"it is good."
Yunyue thought of her son whom she hadn't seen for several days, and couldn't help asking, "How is Fubao?"
"Master Fubao has been asking to see you every day. He even tried to sneak out this morning, but failed."
"This kid is becoming more and more petty. People have to keep an eye on him. I'm afraid someone will use him to threaten me."
"Everyone saves money. Old Madam Yu is now following Master Fubao closely every day. The two of them are competing with each other in wits and courage every day."
Yun Yue had a picture in her mind, and she wanted to laugh: "I wonder what my parents would say if they knew how naughty this kid is now."
"The old lady and the others must be very happy. Alas... I don't know when His Highness will arrive."
"It should be soon."
The two of them sat down on the ground. Yunyue felt a little tired and leaned her head on Lingyao's shoulder.
"Enemy attack!!! Enemy attack!!" Suddenly the alarm sounded again.
Yun Yueyun quickly stood up and looked outside the city. Under the dim sky, countless cavalrymen were galloping towards them, like waves on land.
"Everyone get ready!!! This time, we have to rely on ourselves."
Yun Yue looked at the charging army with a serious expression.
"Master!! This doesn't seem to be the enemy's army, it looks a bit... like His Highness's army!! Look!! Is that His Highness's military flag?" Ling Yao suddenly looked into the distance and pointed excitedly.
Yunyue squinted her eyes and looked into the distance. It was dark and she couldn't see clearly. She could only see a flag with white letters on a black background.
As they slowly approached, Yun Yue's face was covered with a smile, her tone was full of joy, and she shouted loudly with a megaphone: "Everyone!!! We are saved, Prince Rong is here with his troops!!"
Everyone cheered excitedly, hugged each other and jumped.
"Prince Rong opened it! We are saved!!"
"Master Yue didn't lie to us. Prince Rong really came! He really came to save us. We held on!"
“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WE WON!!”
……
The army stopped at the foot of the city wall. Xiao Yinmo, wearing ink-colored armor and riding on a black horse, walked to the front of the army.
He raised his head, looked at Yunyue on the city wall and said with a smile: "Yue'er, I'm here."
Yunyue was so happy that she was like a child. She waved excitedly to the people below. Look! My dark horse prince is here!
Then he quickly walked down the city wall and ran towards the city gate.
"Open the city gate! Open the city gate quickly!" Zhang Yuankai said to his subordinates with a grin.
As soon as the city gate opened, Yunyue flew out.
Xiao Yinmo dismounted and walked towards Yunyue, smiling and opening his arms.
Yun Yue went straight to Si Yin who was beside him.
"Si Yin! Have you seen Wan Hua?!"
Si Yin shook his head.
"Yue'er..." Xiao Yinmo on the side silently put down his arms and stood there like a fool, feeling very aggrieved.
Yun Yue looked apologetic, walked to his side, covered his hand with her sleeve, and gently held his big hand: "Xiao Yinmo, you came just in time, thank you."
Seeing that he was still feeling aggrieved, he whispered, "There are too many people here, go back and hug him. Ahem."
Xiao Yinmo raised the corner of his mouth slightly and gently scratched Yunyue's palm.
"Sister!!! Are you okay? Is Fubao okay?" Yun Changgeng came forward anxiously.
Yun Yue let go of Xiao Yinmo's hand: "Brother!!! We are all fine. Where are those people? Where are the enemy generals?"
"The enemy general and the two prefects are already dead. It is said that they were killed by assassins. So these soldiers without their generals surrendered when they saw your highness's flag."
"Brother, please ask someone to help me find Wanhua! Those two prefects must have been killed by Wanhua. She was trying to buy time for us..."
Yun Changgeng saw Yun Yue's anxious and worried look and knew that Li Wanhua must be very important to her. He was also very curious about this Li Wanhua. Although he had never seen her, he had heard this woman's name many times from His Highness, his third brother, Si Cheng and others. "Okay, I'll go right away and find her..."
"Your Highness, should we let the army camp outside the city first?" A heroic woman in armor and with her hair tied up walked over and clasped her fists to Xiao Yinmo.
After saying that, he looked Yunyue up and down with his peripheral vision.
"Yes. The same goes for the surrendered soldiers. They will be stationed outside the city temporarily." Xiao Yinmo nodded, then looked at Yunyue gently.
Yue'er, let's go in first."
"Yeah." Yunyue was worried about Li Wanhua, but there was no point in just standing here and waiting.
"Your Highness! Can I go in with you? I... want to borrow something from them." Huo Tanguo spoke in a coquettish tone with a slightly blushing face.
"Borrow something?" Xiao Yinmo frowned, not understanding what she wanted to borrow.
"Hmm... something for women." Huo Tanguo hadn't expected that her day would come. If she didn't go, she would be embarrassed.
Yunyue reacted immediately: "Lingyao, you brought this person...?"
"My name is Huo Tanguo, and I serve as a centurion in the prince's army."
"Lingyao, take Captain Huo with you to the city first."
"Miss Huo, please." Lingyao nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, I'll go first." Huo Tanguo bowed to Xiao Yinmo again and followed Lingyao.
"You still use women in your army?" Yun Yue looked at Xiao Yinmo in surprise.
