Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

"Is the matter settled?"

Fan Chuanji pushed open the door of the study and let several people in.

After entering the study, Fan Bing and the other six knelt before him and said, "Please punish us, sir. We are guilty!"

"Stand up and talk, what happened?"

Fan Chuanji took the tea prepared by the servant, poured a cup and handed it to Fan Bing.

Fan Bing took the tea and drank it all, then wiped his mouth and started talking about what happened outside Shigong City that day.

"Oh, so according to what you said, that thing can explode like a firecracker and can even kill people?" Fan Chuanji paused as he was pouring water, and he seemed unaware that the tea was spilling.

Fan Bing said, "That's right. When I saw that things were not going well, I quickly told my brothers to retreat, but it was too late. Four of them died. But before they left, I also saw the guards of the Yu Mansion escorting Miss Yu away in a hurry."

I remembered seeing Yu Xunmei, who was covered in dust, in the outer courtyard of Yu's house. It turned out that she had just returned.

Coming back to his senses, Fan Chuanji drank the tea in the cup. It was those people from Longtan again!

"In the next few days, you guys should stay in the mansion to recuperate. Don't leave the Fan Mansion until the storm has passed."

Fan Bing was worried that the Yu family would pursue the matter, "Master, what about the Yu Mansion?"

"Don't worry, I don't think they will dare to come again."

He must avenge his sister's murder!

"Master, among the people who fought with Longtan this time, we found that two of them were very similar to the killer on the day when the master was assassinated." Fan Bing hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his doubts.

"I see."

Why did you cooperate with the Yu family this time?

The biggest reason was that the Yu family put the evidence of Longtan and others assassinating his father in front of him, and he was tempted to avenge his father.

But in the end, it was still a miserable loss!

Fan Bing looked at Fan Chuanji with a sharp gaze and made a gesture of raising his hand and cutting with a knife, "Master, how about I gather some men and go to Longtan to avenge you!"

"Your gang is so powerful. How many people do you think we need to send to defeat them? Next, the most important thing we should do is to prevent Longtan's revenge."

He didn't believe that the bandits would remain indifferent after kidnapping their women.

"Yes, I'll go down and arrange it right away!"

Fan Chuanji waved at him weakly.

Sitting slumped in the chair, recalling the past, Fan Chuanji smiled.

Maybe someone from Longtan was involved in my sister's affairs.

Is this a warning to him, and to the Yu and Fan families?

Three days later, the Yu family held a grand funeral for Yu Shicheng.

Fan Chuanji sent people to Yu Mansion many times to retrieve Fan Yuejia's body, but was turned away every time.

It was not until Yu Shicheng was buried that the Yu family sent back Fan Yuejia's swollen and disfigured body. For the increasingly declining Fan family, they had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

The Yu and Fan families in Nanzhou Prefecture became enemies at this point.

During these three days, in order to arrange the funeral of Yu Shicheng, the Yu family had no time to consider sending people to rob Longtan's family.

As the rumors about the two families became more and more rampant, no one, big or small, from the noble families in Nanzhou Prefecture wanted to form an alliance or have any dealings with the Yu family anymore.

By the time Yu Fu reacted and wanted to trace the source of the rumor, he found out that the original source had quietly disappeared.

Just after Yu Shicheng's funeral, the two servants who served him personally were no longer in Yu's mansion.

After some investigation, it was learned that they had all obtained Yu Shicheng's consent to redeem themselves before Yu Shicheng got into trouble.

When Yu Xunmei reported the events of Shigong City to the two of them, they wanted to inquire more about the guards who had returned with him, but they found that they had disappeared long after Yu Xunmei returned home.

When I asked the gatekeeper at the backyard, he said that the carriage passed by the back door that day but did not enter. Instead, it drove away quickly towards the alley on the other side.

"Are you sure it was the guard you saw?" Yu Xunmei felt very strange, as she had clearly instructed them.

"Yes, I saw it with absolute certainty. There was a unfamiliar guard sitting next to him, and they both smiled at me." The doorman recalled the situation at that time and said seriously.

Yu Shida was puzzled. "Could it be that he knew that the mission had failed and was afraid that the Yu and Fan families would hold him responsible, so he fled early?"

"Impossible. On the way back, I saw that they were all normal. Besides, their families are still in our hands. They will definitely not run away." Yu Xunmei said.

We sent people to inquire about their families, and they all said that they had never returned.

They searched the military camp and Yu's farm outside the city, but it seemed as if they had disappeared out of thin air.

Yu Xunmei sat in the corridor, holding a glass of wine in her hand, glancing sideways at Yu Shida who was sitting opposite her.

"Don't you think there is an invisible hand pushing the Yu family to become enemies with the aristocratic families in Nanzhou Prefecture?"

"Sister, do you realize who is manipulating all this?"

Yu Shida is not good at strategy and has low political sensitivity. His father never taught him these things since he was a child.

Yu Xunmei snorted coldly, "Apart from those people from Longtan, I can't think of anyone else?"

"How could he have such extraordinary abilities? Now even the Fan family has severed ties with us. How should we respond next?"

"Nanzhou Prefecture is not an option. Brother, you can contact the families of my concubine's sisters-in-law. I believe they will not refuse because of our in-law relationship."

"My sister is really thoughtful!"

Yu Shida's eyes lit up. Why didn't he think of this?

He reached out to touch her cheek, but Yu Xunmei turned her head away with a faint smile on her face.

"Go quickly, it's important to do your job!"

She knew that in this round, she and Longtan had only managed a draw.

The woman from Longtan was ruthless and left no room for maneuver. They had to be prepared in advance in case they had any other tricks up their sleeves.

Reaching out and plucking the beautiful flower next to her, Yu Xunmei looked at the red color on her fingertips and a cruel sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Next, it’s still uncertain who will win or lose!

赤安

Dozens of horses galloped in the dark on the narrow mountain road, breaking the silence of the night sky and startling many unknown birds on the branches.

In the silent mountain forest, a ray of light began to appear on the eastern horizon, and the light blue sky was dotted with stars that had not yet awakened.

In the mountain village, Huzi and Datou, who were used to getting up early, had just put on their clothes when they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from outside the village.

The two men hurriedly tied their belts, picked up their spears and rushed out.

The secret guards who were responsible for staying behind heard the situation outside the village earlier than the two of them, and now they were standing in a row at the entrance of the village.

The leading secret guard was about to ask who the newcomer was when he said he heard the person running in front shouting.

"I'm Yun Mo, please get out of the way!"

When the secret guards heard this, they all made way for them. Yun Mo and Lin Yinan took the Qianxia sisters and headed straight for the courtyard where Guo Xun lived.

The secret guards who were lagging far behind quickly pulled the reins and dismounted from their horses one by one. After traveling for a whole night, as soon as they got off their horses, they were helped by the remaining secret guards to go to the camp to rest.

As soon as Lin Yinan and his friends arrived at the courtyard where Guo Xun lived, they met Chen Shi who was coming back from fetching water.

"Chen Shi, go and call Doctor Guo to come out and save us!" Qian Wu, who was on horseback, saw Chen Shi carrying water and shouted at him from afar.

Chen Shi threw down the burden on his shoulders and ran to the next yard.

After entering the room he had lived in before, Lin Yinan carefully took off Yun Shijiu from his back.
