"General Yao, do you really intend to persuade him to surrender?"

The tit-for-tat dialogue between the two Yaos did not last long, and Xun Jian questioned Yao Yan with a smile before he retreated from the battle.

"Heh, you don't really want Yao Yuanwang to surrender, you just let me go through the motions, so why are you so fussy?"

Yao Yan took off the armor on his upper body with a cold face, and left from the front of the formation without looking sideways.

From the time he followed Hua Nongying to Yuzhou, he knew that he was just a pawn in their hands.

The Jiangnan gentry needed some confidence, and more importantly, an excuse.How far-fetched and ridiculous is it that he, a general in the northwest, provoked the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River to complain about him?But this does not prevent these literati from covering their eyes and deceiving themselves.

Yao Yan couldn't help but glanced back at the wall of the Drum Tower. Yao Yuanwang was no longer there, but he was determined.

There are also differences between literati and literati, and at this moment he understands this more deeply.

These gentry clans have decayed to their foundations, and they are nothing more than dying, walking corpses.

But on the other hand, his colleagues and his confidants are still proud and independent.

This is Dayan's hope.

He has missed it once, and he must never make the same mistake again.Brother Yuan Wang was indeed his confidant, his good teacher and helpful friend. The two of them had no chance to communicate in advance, but Brother Yuan Wang came out with Hu Zi when he asked to meet.

"Father!" Seeing Yao Yan's happy face, Li Xuan said happily, "Have you finally figured it out?"

He was wearing a silver armor, carrying a red-tasseled gun, and his long hair stood tall. He looked vigorous and elegant.

Yao Yan looked at him but said nothing, with a gloomy face.

Li Xuan seemed a bit timid, but after only shrinking for a moment, he said firmly: "Father, I know there are still hurdles in your heart that you can't overcome, but the matter has come to this point and we have no way out.

Do princes and generals care about each other?His Liu family has only been in the country for decades, why can't someone else sit in?

With my father's ability, what's the difficulty in being a king and worshiping a minister?The Liu family doesn't value us, but others do. Why don't you understand this truth?Since ancient times, how many foolish and loyal people can end well? "

Yao Yan took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly.

"I have been on the battlefield for decades, and I have led the army and taught many soldiers. Today I know that the best teacher is my son."

Li Xuan was not angry when he heard his sarcasm, he just smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, you can't accept it now, and when the situation is finalized in the future, you can accept it.

The child follows you to learn this skill, don't you have the heart to watch the child do nothing for a lifetime?

Even if I can't be called a hero, I still want to be a hero of the generation, and I will do something earth-shattering, and I will be more praised than you, General Yao! "

Yao Yan originally came to be a hostage and puppet to save his eldest son, but after seeing him voluntarily follow the rebels, Yao Yan was finally extremely disappointed.

From the time he met Li Xuan, Li Xuan never asked his younger brother how he was doing, and he was so obsessed with interests that it was hopeless.

For Yao Yan, who was an orphan since he was a child, family has always come first.

When he chose to save his wife between his wife and loyalty, he didn't regret it.Now, he needs to make a decision again that he will not regret.

"Lord Yao, I have some doubts in my mind, please answer one or two questions for me."

Wen Shi knew that Yao Yuanwang must have ulterior motives in deliberately bringing a child up, and when he specifically ordered Huo Wutong to take the boy away, leaving only himself to be with him, Wen Shi affirmed this conjecture even more.

Yao Yuanwang sighed, and looked up at the gradually darkening sky: "I know what you want to ask, and I will tell you in detail."

"Yuanzheng did release the people from Baiyun Villa back then, but it is false to say that he colluded with Baiyun Villa to deliberately disturb the Northwest.

Yuanzheng and his wife met in their infancy, they have always supported each other, and their husband and wife are deeply affectionate.

Back then Baiyun Villa threatened his wife... I didn't mean to excuse him, no matter what the reason, his behavior violated the law of Great Yan. "

Hearing this, Wen Shi understood the follow-up development, cupped his hands and said, "Lord Yao values ​​love and justice. General Yao was able to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River without being wanted by the imperial court. Is it because of your help?"

Yao Yuanwang covered his face with his sleeves, and said shamelessly: "Yao knows that breaking the law should be a higher crime, but now he is in a dire situation and can't immediately plead guilty. Waiting for this matter, the guilty minister will go to the Holy Majesty to accept the crime."

Wen Shi hurriedly said: "My lord speaks seriously, you are deeply trusted by the Holy One, and the Holy One must understand your painstaking efforts... What I don't understand is, why is that child here?"

Yao Yuanwang said that the boy was "Yao Yan's second son", and Yao Yan could also be a pun.Wen Shi pretended that he was the son of Yao Yuanwang at that time, and did not investigate further in front of Huo Wutong and others.

"This kid is called Huzi, he fled to me a few days ago, and he has an older brother.

According to what he said, his elder brother was taken away by the gangsters, and Yuanzheng went after the gangsters to save his elder brother. "

"Then why did you bring that child up to the Drum Tower..."

Yao Yuanwang nodded: "It's up to him to threaten Huzi's safety to ensure his safety."

"But according to what my lord said, General Yao is probably just a puppet of the rebel army, even if he wants to help us, he is powerless."

Yao Yuanwang said: "You may not know the talent of Yuanzheng, but thank God that he is not our enemy.

That Xun Jian is just a mediocre person, how much can he lead a gang of mobs?

Yuanzheng is different, even corruption can be turned into magic in his hands, otherwise do you think these gang of Jiangnan gentry would dare to commit crimes? "

The more Wen Shi listened, the more he frowned: "According to what your lord said, the Jiangnan gentry dared to rebel because they thought General Yao was the commander in chief, but General Yao was obviously under the control of others. There must be some people playing tricks, trying to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the fisherman. .”

"From this point of view, it is very likely that it is the Baiyun Villa that Master Wen mentioned."

Indeed, this is the most reasonable guess—especially since the two of them didn't even know that Bai Yan and Shen Zheng, the principals of Baiyun Villa, were dead.

The two were speechless for a while, Yao Yuanwang was silent for a while and then sighed: "So...the Holy Majesty's precautions against martial arts people are not without reason."

Why don't you understand this truth?

It's just that different backgrounds are destined to have different positions, just like this Jiangnan gentry.

Is it true that so many of them don't understand that they are risking the disgrace of the world at this time?

It's just that the situation is so far that it's hard to ride a tiger.

How many Shen Yunpos in the world can take their own interests lightly, let go of the power they have, and choose to retire from the rivers and lakes to put the common people in the world first?

Those born in a family but reduced to the knowledge of Tianming Sect may be the ones who feel the most deeply about this.

Yao Yuanwang is very clear about Wen Shi's background, and the contact during this period of time has made him understand her talent.

These words can be said to be his words from the bottom of his heart, and it is also a statement of his hope that Wen Shi can completely change his concept and serve the court loyally.

Wenshi just answered in silence.

Yao Yuanwang stopped talking about it, and said again: "Master Wen, you said to wait earlier, what kind of timing are you waiting for?"

While the two were talking, the sky had gradually darkened, and the autumn rain that had been falling for three days and three nights finally showed a tendency to stop.

Wen Shi raised his head and looked to the northwest. The cold current from the northwest seemed to have finally broken through the humid water vapor in the south of the Yangtze River. While bringing coldness and chill, it also drove away the haze covering the sky, revealing a corner of the beautiful mountain peaks in the distant suburbs.

"The weather is beautiful, and it is sunny at this most opportune time."

"But didn't you say that Xun Jian and others will attack with fire once the rain is gone?"

"That's right, but it's been raining for three days, so it's too late for Xun Jian to attack."

Wen Shi pinched his fingers and said to Yao Yuan, "Master Yao, please organize the personnel of the two divisions. At three o'clock tonight, reinforcements will come to help."

Yao Yuanwang asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

"Of course it was calculated."

Yao Yuanwang was shocked, but Wen Shi secretly laughed in his heart—this time it was "revenge" against Master Yao who forced her to express his opinion earlier.

She doesn't have the ability to pinch and calculate like Si Ming, but it's not a lie to say what she calculated.

Even if the news could not be conveyed at the beginning, according to Xun Jian's troubles, Yan Zhou should have received the news.

She has no confidence in other people's knowledge, but she has always had full confidence in Shen Cuo.

The young master will definitely come to rescue her immediately, if he doesn't show up immediately, then the young master must be planning something.

At the beginning, Wen Shi followed Shen Cuo, and he often went into the government office at night to punish corrupt officials, so he knew her way of action.In the middle of the night, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, it is the most suitable time for killing people.

The northwest wind is blowing tonight, and Yao Yan and his son from the northwest are here again. I heard and believed what Si Ming said, and the auspicious omen must be tonight.

"The rain has stopped!"

Shen Cuo waited for a whole day, and finally waited until the damn autumn rain stopped.

"Be safe and don't be impatient, the sky is not completely dark yet."

Shen Yunpo looked at the dozen or so people behind Shen Cuo, and said with a solemn expression: "Although this trip is not facing thousands of troops, it is also very dangerous. The elders and protectors are willing to come to help, and Shen is very grateful."

There was a commotion in the crowd, and someone immediately said: "Master, what do you mean by this? As long as you say a word, we will be heartbroken for the leader. How can we be grateful for such out-of-the-ordinary words?"

When everyone heard it, they immediately echoed.

"That's right, Master, why are you so out of touch?"

"It's just..."

"I will wait to obey the orders of the leader at any time."

However, Shen Yunpo shook his head: "I am no longer the leader of Tianming Sect, neither Tianming Sect nor Shen Yunpo should exist in Dayan.

Today is an entirely personal plea to all of you to be a part of this rescue.Also, I don't need your brains, it is my greatest wish that you can return safely. "

"Master!"

Tears welled up in the eyes of more than a dozen people, even some old ones.Shen Cuo was anxious, feeling that their mothers-in-law and mothers couldn't show it on their faces, so he cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Wu Wang also asks the elder protectors to save the knowledge... and those innocent old and weak women and children in Yuzhou City."

"Young master, why even you..."

"That's right, young master, you are actually so polite."

"That's right, young master, we are afraid that we will lose our lives!"

More than a dozen people were apprehensive and flattered, and Shen Cuo frowned—how could I hear that the words of these old guys had any meaning, it didn’t seem like respect to my aunt, but a bit ironic—her past reputation was so bad ?
