Bring a boyfriend home for Lantern Festival

Chapter 18 The South River Rebellion

Walking to the door of An Pingzhi's room, he gently punctured the window paper, and found that it was dark inside, and he could still hear An Pingzhi's snoring clearly, so he pushed his window open and entered An Pingzhi's room through the window.

This was the first time he entered his room, and the furnishings inside were very simple. Yu Tianze walked to his bookshelf, but couldn't see anything clearly, so he took out a night pearl from his waist.

Looking back and forth on the bookshelf, I saw a ledger, so I opened the ledger, which contained detailed records of the previous county magistrate's handling of disaster relief food.And relief money.

But the page behind the relief money was torn off, and Yu Tianze searched again and still couldn't find it. At this moment, he accidentally kicked a pot of grass that An Pingzhi placed on the ground.

Yu Tianze saw the verdant plants through the light of the night pearl, and at this moment there was an exclamation from behind, and An Pingzhi rushed out the door with a loud roar:

"Catch the thief!"

Yu Tianze set his sights on the closet by the wall, a group of guards rushed into the yard, An Pingzhi dared to enter his room only when he saw someone coming, looking at the quiet room, An Pingzhi set his sights on his closet.

In the closet, Yu Tianze was staring at the masked man in front of him, his nose was pressed against the man's mask, and the two of them were facing each other tightly.

Yu Tianze never expected that there would be a person hiding in the cabinet the moment he opened it, but he hid in in a hurry, and the two stared at each other awkwardly.

Yu Tianze, who was holding the Ye Mingzhu, illuminated the narrow cabinet brightly. He couldn't move at will and could only stare at the other person. Only one pair of eyes could be seen on the person's entire face.

Yu Tianze only felt that those eyes were crystal clear, and he didn't seem like a person who committed a heinous crime, but the time and place were not suitable for his wild thinking. The temperature in the cabinet rose instantly in the already scorching weather.

Yu Tianze only felt that his whole body was hot from top to bottom, at this moment he heard Anping Zhi say outside the cabinet door:

"Go open the cabinet and let me check it."

Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually approaching, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and stuffed the Ye Mingzhu into his belt. The cabinet instantly went dark, and only Yu Tianze's malicious eyes said in the ear of the masked man:

"I'm sorry."

Then he turned around and pushed the masked man out, and then closed the door of the cupboard. As soon as the masked man came out, An Pingzhi flashed and hid behind the crowd, and the others immediately surrounded him.

Seeing this, the masked man rushed out of the encirclement and ran towards the door without hesitation, and naturally all the others chased after him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yu Tianze left the cabinet and mixed into the crowd pretending to have just come down from upstairs.

"Protect the lord!"

An Pingzhi immediately stood in front of Yu Tianze. When the masked man heard that he was calling the prince, he couldn't help but look towards Yu Tianze, feeling more and more like an old friend.

Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, General Hu slashed at him from behind, and Yu Tianze, who was standing beside him, was suddenly startled. Fortunately, the masked man was so powerful that he narrowly avoided the slash, then tiptoed, and got rid of the sword behind him , Flying to the roof, how could this kind of light work be done by ordinary people, the dark mask on his face reflected the moonlight was a bit dazzling.

Just watching him fly away surrounded by the crowd, Yu Tianze watched the man in black leave until the man disappeared into the moonlight, he narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

General Hu immediately stepped forward to plead guilty, Yu Tianze let them disperse as usual, and returned to the room alone, and stayed up all night.

On the second day, General Hu accompanied Yu Tianze to the mountains to retrieve the people. An County Magistrate continued to manage government affairs in the mansion, and Yu Tianze took a group of people to the mountains.

County Magistrate An stood at the street corner and watched them leave, until they disappeared at the corner of the street, he slowly returned to the mansion, muttering in his mouth, "If you don't leave the Yangguan Road, you will run into this ghost gate! Destiny is here! You can't blame me!"

As soon as he wandered into the yard, he saw the door of his room opened wide, his originally leisurely face suddenly became serious, he looked around and immediately entered the room.

Sure enough, there was a person sitting by the desk, that person was dressed in the uniform of a yamen servant, but when An Pingzhi saw him, he immediately fell to his knees, lowered his head in concern,

"I don't know if my lord is visiting, there is something to be done by my subordinates."

Seeing him like this, the man sneered sarcastically, but stepped forward and pulled him up again, speaking a bit awkwardly,

"We have already seen Mr. An's sincerity. I also read the letter you sent today. Mr. An wants to be alone?"

An Pingzhi raised his head and looked at the man in front of him in panic, but he still forced a smile on his face. He didn't know how this foreigner could use these words.

"You have really wronged your subordinates. Your subordinates are in the same boat as the adults. How dare you be alone? You just want to do something for the adults!"

The man nodded half understanding, then looked at An Pingzhi contemptuously, turned his back, and reminded him in a threatening tone,

"Master An doesn't need to play word games with me as a foreigner, but since we choose to cooperate, we will definitely not break our promise. At that time, I will send someone disguised as a commoner to assassinate King Yuexian to help your people, but the main role is still It’s up to you to play it yourself.”

"Don't worry, the subordinates have already made arrangements. Don't worry, my lord."

Suddenly An Pingzhi's door was pushed open, and the two immediately looked out the door. An Pingzhi said in a panic:

"Oh! Isn't this Mr. Liu? Why are you here? Is there something you want to dismiss?"

"That's enough. I didn't expect you, a small county magistrate, to collude with foreign enemies to murder the prince. I'm afraid you are getting impatient."

An Pingzhi couldn't help comforting him when he saw his distraught look:

"I said, Mr. Liu, you are not too young, why don't you know the ways of the world, and you don't look at whose place this is, and who is impatient to live."

"Hmph! If you dare to touch me, I'll see how you deal with General Hu when he comes back."

"Tsk tsk! I'm afraid you've lost your mind. General Hu and I are both ministers, and you're probably in the wrong formation."

"What are you talking about? Could it be that even the assistant minister?"

"Don't you have a saying that you will lose if you talk too much, so be careful when there are too many people here!"

The man cut off Master Liu's neck with a single knife, An Pingzhi still had some lingering fears, so he ordered someone to dispose of Master Liu's body quickly. On the same day, it was reported that Master Liu's room caught fire and unfortunately died.

Yu Tianze and his party reached the largest mountain forest in Nanhe within half a day. An Pingzhi once said that this is the Baiyao forest, which contains many rare trees and medicinal materials.

Yu Tianze felt that it would be more efficient for everyone to search separately, so he dispersed the people, and General Hu followed him all the way for his safety.

The forest was dense. They put their horses in the forest and searched on foot. Most of the vegetation here is withered, but there are still some dying. Yu Tianze asked General Hu,

"If you were a commoner, where would you choose to go?"

"Nature is where there is water."

"That's right, but most of the trees here are withered, so it should be far away from the water, why don't we go further inside."

The two walked to the depths of the woods. About an hour later, Yu Tianze finally saw some trees whose bark had been peeled off, and immediately quickened his pace, and sure enough, he found more trees without bark.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the woods. General Hu pulled out his knife vigilantly and checked the surroundings for any abnormalities. Suddenly, several people appeared in the forest.

Looking at their emaciated faces and clothes, they guessed that they should be refugees. Seeing the refugees appear, Yu Tianze immediately stopped them, and the group of refugees started to run back after seeing them.

Yu Tianze hurriedly chased after him, and General Hu took the lead to block the way of these people. The refugees saw him holding a big knife and looking fierce, they were too frightened to move, and repeatedly begged for mercy.

Yu Tianze stepped forward to help them up, these people relaxed a lot after seeing Yu Tianze, seeing that his face was soft and he should be easier to talk, so they begged him for mercy again.

Seeing them like this, Yu Tianze suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart. This was the first time he felt this kind of feeling. His sympathy made him slow down his tone and told them that he was an official sent by the imperial court to relieve the disaster.

After hearing that he was an official sent by the imperial court to relieve the disaster, the group of people immediately knelt on the ground like ordinary people seeing a god, weeping uncontrollably.

"So the emperor hasn't abandoned us yet! We are saved!"

General Hu wanted to reprimand them, but Yu Tianze stopped them first, helped them up from the ground, and told them that he had brought relief food, and asked them to go back to get the food first.

They were a little excited and didn't know how to describe their feelings, but one of them seemed to have something to say, but he was worried about something, so he didn't speak in the end.

"What about the other common people? It won't be just a few of you, right?"

"We got separated from others, but we know where some of them live, and we're going to find them now."

"Okay, you take me to find them together."

These few people led Yu Tianze to the depths of the woods. General Hu followed him all the time. The woods were overgrown with various shrubs, and it was a bit troublesome to walk.

Suddenly there was a splash of blood. Before Yu Tianze could see the situation ahead, he was splashed with blood by the refugees walking in front. General Hu immediately rushed forward to fight with a group of men in black.

It was the first time that Yu Tianze saw a living person being beheaded in front of his eyes, and his head went blank for a while, until a man in black appeared in front of him, and he came back to his senses.

While fighting the assassin, General Hu had to take into account Yu Tianze's safety, but his hands were hard to beat with heavy punches, and he himself was a little bit hard to protect himself, when the man was about to slash Yu Tianze's body with a knife.

Yu Tianze suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist and caught the opponent's knife. The opponent obviously didn't expect Yu Tianze to have the power to fight back, including General Hu beside him.

While he was in a panic, the assassin slashed at General Hu's arm. Before he could dodge, he was stabbed in the arm. Seeing this, Yu Tianze could only bite the bullet and fight.

He had never killed anyone before, and he didn't want to see blood, but this was not what it used to be. Someone had already put a knife on his neck, and he had to fight back and kill people.

The man in black, who underestimated the enemy, was stabbed to death by Yu Tianze with a sword. He took the opportunity to help General Hu escape from this place, and the assassins behind him chased after him.

Yu Tianze would never do such a thing of abandoning his compatriots. Seeing that he was so stubborn, General Hu said seriously:

"My lord, today is different. If both of us can't escape, the consequences will be unimaginable. This subordinate is just a general. It is an honor to die for the court, but you are different. Please put down your subordinate and go!"
