In the Days of Being a Maid In Ancient Times - Chapter 496

Fortunately, a group of people arrived at the border town safely along the way.

Yang Yu stopped on horseback at the gate of the city, looked at the guard in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief, raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his face, but smelled a foul smell, and tugged at the corners of his mouth helplessly, slightly disgusted. dropped his sleeves.

I wanted to ride into the city in one go, but I didn’t expect to be stopped as soon as I arrived at the city gate.

Yang Yu’s expression was a little unswerving. She left at night to check on her, and she stopped her during the day. What’s the situation, doesn’t she look like a good person.

Just when Yang Yu was about to get angry, he saw Wang Yi’an coming from behind on horseback. After asking a few questions in a low voice, he took out a token from his arms and handed it over.

After the officers and soldiers checked, they did not let them go in time. Instead, they found their companions and muttered a few times. Not knowing what to say, they saw the person who was called trotting away.

Yang Yu was tired all the way and was very tired at this time. Seeing that it was so troublesome to enter a city, he started to get irritated, “Hey! What do you guys need to check in the daytime!”

The officers and soldiers said solemnly with a sullen face: “Please wait a moment.”

Originally thought that Wang Yi’an would let people go after the token was released, but he didn’t expect that not only did he not let the guard down, but he also became stricter. Yang Yu couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Yi An, what did you show him! It’s useless at all.”

Here, Wang Yi’an also had a cold face. Seeing Yang Yu’s curious look, he reacted and said to her: “Auntie, you don’t know, every time the border war is tense, the border town will be on guard. , check in and out.”

After hearing this, Yang Yu froze all over. As Wang Yi’an, he had to undergo such a strict investigation. That doesn’t mean that the war is very tense now.

Just when she was about to ask a few more questions, she saw a man in iron armor with a resolute face striding forward, heading straight for Wang Yi’an.

Yang Yu stood on the side and watched the two people chatting, looking at the familiar appearance, he should have known each other.

The two did not turn their backs on her when they spoke, and when the two of them finished speaking, Yang Yu also knew the ins and outs.

The day before yesterday, the Beixin people didn’t know what went crazy, but they led the army straight to the hinterland of the frontier. If Zhou Yu had not been prepared, Zhou Wei was sitting here, maybe the frontier city would have been destroyed by now.

Yang Yu was pounding in his heart when he heard Wang Yi’an say, “Auntie, I’m afraid my nephew won’t be able to send you back to the mansion safely.”

“Now that General Tokon is sending you back, please forgive me.”

Only then did Yang Yu regain his senses, tightening the reins with both hands nervously, and said dryly, “I’ll go back with you.”

Wang Yi’an refused without thinking, “Auntie, the frontier camp is not a place where women can stay. Besides, you can stay in the city safely, and it will give us motivation to defend the city.”

Yang Yu thought about what Wang Yi’an said just now, and felt that it made sense. Besides, with her current state, she might not be able to help if she went, and she might be a burden.

“Okay, I’ll go home and wait.”

“Half of the food we brought is left in the border town, and half of the food you bring to the barracks.”

Wang Yi’an did not refuse after hearing it, and readily agreed, because it was not too late, and the few people were not greeting each other. Except for Xiao Shi and Yang Yu who stayed, everyone else changed horses and galloped away.

Yang Yu stayed where he was and looked at General Kong, and said lightly, “General Kong, please send a few people to deliver the things to the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“I don’t need you to send it.” After saying that, he took Xiao Shi back to the City Lord’s Mansion.

When he arrived at the mansion, Yang Yu neatly dismounted and handed the reins in his hand to Xiao Si at the door. Before he could say more, he hurriedly walked back to the yard. As soon as he entered the door, he said loudly, “Xiaoyue, prepare water for me to take a bath.”

Xiaoyue had been sitting at the door of the house doing embroidery, and when she saw Yang Yu come in, she immediately responded happily and went to prepare water.

Yang Yu took a bath comfortably, then lay down on the bed and slept until the next afternoon.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhou Rui sitting beside him with a worried face.

Yang Yu asked in a hoarse voice, “You didn’t go to the government office today?”

Zhou Rui stepped forward and carefully helped her up, “Mother, you are so tired, do I still have the heart to go to the government office?”

Yang Yu lifted the quilt and got out of bed with Zhou Rui serving him. He walked to the dressing table and said, “You brat, I don’t know you yet. I’m afraid the sky will fall and it won’t affect your case handling.”

Zhou Rui was aggrieved, “Mother, you are more important than the sky in my heart.”

Hearing him say this, Yang Yucai raised his head to look at him lazily, “What’s wrong with you today, your mouth is so sweet.”

Zhou Rui thought about seeing his pale mother when he first came back, and secretly made up his mind that he must be nice to his mother.

“Mother, haven’t I been so sweet since I was a child.”

Yang Yu pouted, thinking that when you were a child, you were not sweet but poisonous, and it wasn’t bad for Zhou Ze to be pitted at that time.

Thinking of Zhou Ze Yang Yu, I remembered the scene when he came back yesterday, his eyes darkened, and he asked quite seriously, “Where is Zhou Ze?”

Knowing that his mother was going to talk about business, Zhou Rui also became serious, “It’s a little serious, there are far more people in Beixin than we thought.”

Yang Yu: “How much?”

“Twenty thousand.”

Yang Yu repeated it in his heart, looked up at Zhou Rui, and asked without refusal, “Your father, they are sure.”

Zhou Rui originally wanted to lie to his mother and say something reassuring, but when she saw her mother’s eyes that were straight into her heart, she turned the conversation and replied honestly, “Forty percent.”

“If we really can’t resist, we may have to retreat.”

Hearing this Yang Yu calmed down, unlike the previous excitement, looked at Zhou Rui and said, “Since this is the case, we can’t just sit and wait like this, why don’t we think of some ways to help them.”

Zhou Rui nodded, “Mother, I have already agreed with the yamen and the generals guarding the city, and I am ready to support them at any time.”

“Okay.”

“Do you know how many people there are in our city?” Yang Yu paused after asking, and continued: “Can you gather them and help them strike, can they go into battle to kill the enemy, help lift the wounded, cook and cook? It is also possible!”

Zhou Rui’s eyes lit up after hearing this, and immediately said, “Mother, this method is feasible, I’ll find someone now.” After speaking, it seemed that he had gone into what he just said, and in a blink of an eye, no one was there.

Yang Yu didn’t have time to pick his reasons, so he quickly sorted himself out and went out to find the housekeeper to arrange staff.

Because Zhou Rui insisted on opening the court every day to accept the case, he also had a certain weight in the hearts of the people. He just went out to find someone, and he gathered most of the people in the city after a while.

At this time, Yang Yu also arranged for the servants in the house, and went to find Zhou Rui together.
