Chapter 465 Victory without a fight
No need to hit the wood.
The gates of the Mu residence opened automatically.
Old Madam Mu and Yan Cheng'an appeared at the door.
The old woman glared at the rebel leader who had just been ordering the door to be rammed: "What's your name?"
"Chen Lin..."
Perhaps the old lady's intimidating presence was too much, for the rebel leader subconsciously revealed his name.
The woman before them was a first-rank imperial consort, and also a member of the Empress Dowager's family. In the past, they would never have been able to meet her.
The key point is that she was the widow of the old Duke who died on the battlefield.
In the hearts of these martial artists, the old Duke was a hero of the Great Liang.
They became rebels out of necessity, but even so, they still respected the Mu family.
Madam Mu glanced at the crowd and said, "Who gave you the audacity to surround my Duke's mansion?"
"Madam, we are just following orders." Chen Lin didn't even dare to look the old lady in the eye.
He originally wanted to ask Old Madam Mu to come with him.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
Because the group of women opposite him were staring intently at him.
Two women appeared out of nowhere and brought all of Prince Chen's wives, concubines, and mother with them.
I heard that Prince Chen's favorite concubine is the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, whose status is comparable to that of a princess, while the princess is not so favored.
Although Chen Lin had never met these dignitaries, he recognized the steward of the Prince Chen's residence. Since the steward said they were them, it should be true.
So now, he's caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.
What's worse, they dared not move at all, because if they did, the crows circling overhead would defecate on their heads.
At first, they thought it was a strange phenomenon from the sky.
It is divine punishment.
But when they saw the little girl riding a white wolf, they were completely stunned.
The little girl was extremely beautiful, dressed in purple, and riding a huge white wolf.
Exuding an air of nobility.
They had hunted countless times, but had never seen such a large wolf.
Neither the white wolf nor the human seemed to belong to this world.
That wolf howl was chilling.
The strangest thing was that the little girl kept playing the flute, and when she stopped playing, the crows above them also stopped attacking.
"It's her...it's actually her!"
The rebels immediately realized that she was the one controlling the crows.
Their bodies, covered in bird droppings, are all thanks to her.
hateful!
Although they were angry, no one dared to step forward.
This is too weird.
It's incredible that someone can control hundreds of birds and even tame wolves.
What exactly is she?
Before they could tell whether this girl was human, demon, or immortal, no one dared to make any rash moves.
Moreover, the people around her all looked to be experts.
I had no choice but to grit my teeth and bear it.
Some people on one side are gritting their teeth, while others on the other side are laughing.
Miao Miao was overjoyed and paraded around town without any restraint, because her melodious flute music had actually summoned the little white wolf.
It's most likely that Xiaobai knew she was in danger.
Because on the way here, there was a tail following her, but she hadn't noticed it yet.
The tail disappeared.
The little white wolf was very happy to see his master again, and he jumped around with his little master in front of everyone.
The wives and concubines of Prince Chen, who were still cursing and crying, were terrified out of their wits.
The rebels were so frightened that they retreated in fear.
No one dared to make a sound.
"Grandmother Mu, Brother An..."
Miaomiao and the wolf bounced over to Yan Cheng'an and Madam Mu.
Madam Mu's brows twitched.
Even though she had seen a lot, when she saw the white wolf, she still pulled her grandson back several steps.
Yan Cheng'an broke free from her hand and went to meet her.
He hugged the little white dog around the neck and stroked its fur.
The white wolf struggled for a moment and took several steps back.
Old Madam Mu was worried for her grandson and wanted to go forward and pull the little rascal back.
He was afraid that he would anger the white wolf.
With thin arms and legs, he was gone in a single bite from the wolf.
His old legs, however, felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't move them.
Yan Cheng'an caught up again and reached out to pet the wolf, but was stopped by a small hand.
He moved closer to the white wolf, stared at it for a while, and said with a surprised look, "Sister Miao'er, why do I feel like this wolf is rolling its eyes at me? Wolves can actually roll their eyes!"
He looked completely incredulous.
Miaomiao: ...It is indeed rolling its eyes at you.
"Xiaobai doesn't like people petting its fur."
"Okay, then I won't touch it."
"But Brother An, it's dangerous outside, why did you come out?" Miao Miao thought the grandfather and grandson were quite brave.
That's how it came about.
In case the traitors are cornered and resort to desperate measures, they might turn around and take them hostage.
Yan Cheng'an smiled awkwardly before remembering the important matter. Seeing Aunt Lu across from him, he instantly felt more confident.
He unleashed a torrent of reckless tirade at the rebels: "I say, you people, stop dawdling! I spent the whole night setting up the formation in the courtyard, waiting for you to come. I even woke up from a nap and waited for half a day, and you still can't break through! You've truly disgraced Prince Chen..."
Yan Cheng'an looked up at the rebels with disdain.
He looks like he really deserves a beating.
The rebels really want to beat someone up right now, especially this kid.
Too embarrassing!
But when they saw the wives and concubines of Prince Chen under their blades, they withdrew their hands and legs.
Wait!
All we can do now is wait.
Once Prince Chen has taken control of the palace, he will send troops to provide support.
At that time, none of them will be able to escape.
Take them all down, especially the two younger ones.
That's so annoying!
Miao Miao's face contorted as she looked at the man named Chen Lin.
He quickly pulled Yan Cheng'an back; now was not the time for empty talk.
When others fight, they shout and curse at each other on the battlefield in order to force the other side to fight and make them make a move.
They are different.
A-niang was hoping the rebels would just stay put until reinforcements arrived to break the deadlock.
He waited until his uncle and princess mother returned.
Lu Qingyao frowned as she looked at Yan Cheng'an, never realizing before that this child had such a sharp tongue.
I almost couldn't resist going up and shoving him in the mouth.
Fortunately, his daughter pulled him back.
The best course of action now is for no one to make a move, because she is also waiting for a result.
With a huge disparity in numbers between the two sides, she couldn't touch the rebels.
The rebels dared not act rashly. Even if they kidnapped Old Madam Mu, disregarding the wives and concubines of Prince Chen, Prince Chen would not spare them.
What a dilemma!
If possible, Lu Qingyao still wanted to persuade the rebels to retreat: "General Chen, right? How about this, let's make a deal. As long as you withdraw your troops, leave the Mu residence, and retreat outside the city, I will release all the ladies. What do you say?"
"No."
Chen Lin uttered only two words and then fell silent.
Although he could not disregard the lives of Prince Chen's wives and concubines, his superiors ordered him to take away the Mu family mother and daughter, and he could not disobey the military order.
Lu Qingyao felt like she had punched cotton, or talked to a brick wall, and was speechless.
I wanted to say something, but I swallowed it back.
"Let's just wait and see, who's afraid of who?"
Miao Miao felt a bit bored, and the place smelled a bit bad. Most importantly, she was hungry.
She slid off the white wolf and ran to Madam Mu: "Grandmother Mu, do you have any food at home? I'm hungry."
"Yes, come inside with Grandma, and I'll make you something delicious." Old Madam Mu gently stroked the little girl's head.
He then looked at Lu Qingyao and said, "Yaoyao, bring everyone with me into the manor. It's time for dinner. Let them surround us if they want; consider it as guarding the gate for our Duke's manor."
“I’m here, Auntie.” Lu Qingyao nodded obediently.
No sooner had Madam Mu finished speaking than Jiang Ziyan was already standing beside his sister.
They entered the Duke's mansion as if they were fleeing for their lives.
I don't want to stay here for even a second longer.
Miao Miao felt that her second brother was a bit of a germaphobe, extremely clean, and wouldn't allow anyone else to touch him.
I don't know when this problem started.
This illness needs to be treated.
Xiuxiu was the happiest; she was so hungry her stomach was practically sticking to her back, and the worst part was how stinky the ground was.
I really admire how patient these traitors are.
She immediately took the hostage and followed them into the Duke's mansion.
The concubines of Prince Chen were initially panicked, but judging from the posture of both sides, they probably wouldn't do anything to them.
Just go with the flow.
Compared to this stinking place, they would much rather go to the Duke's mansion.
