General is a Villain - Chapter 381
“Grandpa, you give Yi Xiaoqiao the crossbow and arrow. Isn’t it embarrassing? How can she dismantle the crossbow and arrow?”
Han Youjun poured a cup of tea for Han Zifei and said carefully.
Han Zifei snorted and smiled, “this girl doesn’t take an ordinary road. I think she can open it.”
“Open it or break it.” Han Youjun smiles.
“Does it make any difference to her to open it and break it?”
Han Youjun couldn’t help laughing. She remembered several mechanism boxes smashed by Yi Xiaoqiao. I’m afraid it’s true for her. In a rage, it’s impossible to directly smash the crossbow and arrow.
“There are thousands of fine needles in this crossbow. I’m afraid she can’t fit it when she takes it apart.”
Han Zifei slowly nodded his head: “that’s true. Anyway, did you remind her of any hidden weapons?”
“I told her there was a mechanism in it.”
Han Zifei frowned: “mechanism? Which one has no mechanism?”
Han Youjun opened his mouth and his head exploded like thunder. He screamed bad and turned and ran away. Yi Xiaoqiao, that fool, don’t trigger the mechanism. There are hundreds of fine ox hair needles hidden there, which can kill people in an instant!
He was also stupid enough to forget to remind her that those needles were unusual. If he was hit, he might die.
“Little Joe, Little Joe.” Han Youjun patted the iron door outside: “Xiao Qiao, are you still awake? Talk back!”
He listened carefully on the iron door. There was no sound inside. He hurriedly climbed to the roof and looked inside through the air window.
The room was quiet and there was no trace of Yi Xiaoqiao.
“Little Joe?” Han Youjun looked left and right worried.
But the air window is too small, and the visible position is limited. At most, it is a distance of one or two meters around, and this distance is only empty, and there is no trace of Yi Xiaoqiao.
“Little Joe!”
No response.
“She won’t really punish the authorities. Is something wrong?” Thinking of the fine needle of ox hair inside, Han Youjun was even more worried. After shouting a few more words, there was still no reply. He couldn’t wait any longer. He turned down from the roof, ran to the tree at the door and knocked heavily on the tree.
Suddenly, I heard a “karala” mechanism sound, and all the iron plates around the room rose.
The strong sunlight shone in, and through the window, the paper sprinkled in front of the window.
“Little Joe!”
Han Youjun pushed the door in and saw Yi Xiaoqiao lying on the ground silently, but there was a dark red on her face
……
Dong Dong Dong — Dong Dong Dong——
In the evening, there was a sudden rush of drums.
Although they were still a long way from the border town, the drum was so loud that they could hear it faintly. The hurried sound seemed to be urging something.
Duke Li came out of Yi Lan’s room. His anger didn’t decrease, but he became more and more angry. A word “fire” had to be pasted on his forehead.
“Father in law? How’s it going?”
“Hum, Yi Lan, an old fox, is definitely in collusion with Mu Yi’an. These two people must have some ulterior purpose!” As long as father-in-law Li remembered the words that Yi Lan pushed away, he felt unhappy in his heart.
“I just received a letter from the emperor’s Flying Pigeon asking about our border town. What should I do?” The man whispered.
“Of course, answer truthfully!” Duke Li said so, but he muttered in his heart that he must make a good “good word” for Yi Lan in front of the emperor later, so that he can’t afford to go away.
“What’s that noise outside?”
Grandpa Li asked strangely.
The man listened attentively.
“It’s like a drum.”
“The drum? Where did the drum come from at this time? Is it the twilight drum?” Duke Li thought carefully that he didn’t seem to hear the sound of Twilight drum from the border town these days, and the sound was different from that of Twilight drum. It should be more urgent.
He murmured in his heart and came to the door.
The inn is built on the roadside, next to a cliff, which can be climbed easily.
Duke Li climbed up the cliff and looked around. He could see the scenery under the cliff at a glance, even the border town in the distance.
In the border town, you can vaguely see the formation of soldiers. Outside the border town, there seem to be many soldiers. He said in his heart, “what’s the situation?”
“Grandpa Li?”
The little eunuch around him just wanted to answer, but Yi Lan held his waist and came trembling. He didn’t climb up, but asked anxiously, “Grandpa Li, what’s the matter with the border town? Why is the drum so fast?”
Father-in-law Li glanced at him disdainfully. He was still angry because of what had happened before, so he was unwilling to answer.
“Doesn’t father-in-law Li understand what this drum means?” Yi Lan beckoned a soldier to escort them and asked, “do you know what the drum means?”
“Hui Xiangye, it seems that he is recruiting troops.” The man answered respectfully.
“Assemble? For what?”
“Listening to the drum should mean gathering to fight. I think there may be a war.”
“There was a war?” Duke Li’s face changed greatly. He stood on tiptoe and looked in the direction of the border city. He saw thick smoke rolling like a sandstorm coming from a distance. Within a moment, he swallowed the border city. If he thought it strange before, now this scene can fully explain the problem. Someone attacked the border city.
He had been in the palace since he was a child. Although he had been fighting in the palace for decades, he had never seen such a grand scene of war. The sand and dust coming face-to-face was almost incarnated as soldiers waving big knives. They rode horses, dragged knives, waved them one by one, and their bodies were everywhere.
Duke Li hurried down from the hillside: “what’s the matter with Yi Youxiang? It seems that there is a fight?”
Yi Lan coughed and won in a row. His face turned pale again. He seemed to faint at any time. He whispered, “why, Duke Li didn’t hear? Before, a large number of northern troops had gathered in the border city with an evil intention. Now I can’t bear it.”
“What? Why don’t I know such a thing?”
Yi Lan looked at father-in-law Li and said strangely, “father-in-law Li has been anxious to go to the border town these days. I thought father-in-law Li already knew about it. Originally, father-in-law Li didn’t know?”
This implies that it is false for him to care about the border town.
Duke Li’s face was ugly for a moment. He laughed: “how can you tell others about this border defense event? I know a lot about Yi Youxiang?”
Yi Lan smiled and said, “you only need to send more people to observe this kind of thing.”
“Oh? So Yi Youxiang hasn’t been close to the border town these days because he is aware of the danger?”
Yi Lan’s Old God nodded: “yes, Grandpa Li is really smart!”
Hui… Eye
I really believe your evil!
