My son sleeps lightly

The war drum on the city wall suddenly sounded, and the civilians in Luobei City were startled and hid one after another.

The last time it was like this was two years ago when He Ying and He Yu were fighting each other.

Although the terrain of Luobei City is low and flat, no one dares to attack from the outside. This is almost an obsession in the hearts of urban residents.

But today, this towering city wall can no longer protect them completely.

Ye Lan, who was waiting in Ye Mansion, was very anxious. Hearing the chaos outside, he also panicked.

According to Xiao Chong's prediction, with He Yu's strength, he will definitely be able to attack the city before nightfall, and as soon as night falls, he can immediately take his family and escape in the chaos.

But he can't talk about it yet.

He must keep such a mind, if the matter fails, he can still excuse his family's ignorance and leave everyone a way out.

"Second Young Master!" Tao Hua stood beside Ye Lan, a little nervous, "What should we do?"

Ye Lan pursed her lips, "Taohua, don't worry."

At this time, Zhang Tao came over, exchanged glances with Ye Lan, and then walked back to the horse yard as if casually. He also had a lot of preparations to do.

The same anxious people are across the street from them.

Xiao Chong was dressed in military uniform, listening to the voices outside.

They arranged for people outside the city to send in letters constantly to exchange news from both sides, so that he could grasp the situation as quickly as possible.

Chang Qin sat next to him, tapping his fingers on the table, it seemed that he was also in a hurry.

Chang Qin's subordinates are small but capable, and they are responsible for taking away Ye Lan's family. This matter must be done cleanly, and it is best to make people feel that their family was robbed while taking advantage of the chaos.

He Ying is not an easy person to deal with. If he finds out that Ye Lan and the others are fleeing with a purpose, he will definitely retaliate severely.

Therefore, if you can reduce the risk, you must reduce it a little.

The sun had already set, but He Yu's mercenaries didn't seem to be able to break through Luobei City at all.

He Yu's mercenaries are all dead soldiers, who have received strict training. They are different from those young men Yunni who were temporarily captured in Luobei City.

"General!" A soldier ran in panting heavily. He stood in front of Xiao Chong and took a deep breath before he finished speaking, "We miscalculated, the number of troops defending the city is twice as large as we thought. !"

"Double!" Xiao Chong was surprised.

Oops.

Xiao Chong and Chang Qin have the same mind.

"People outside can't last long!" the soldier went on.

Xiao Chong clenched his fists, "Quickly, send a letter to Ye Fu to tell them to stand still."

The soldier immediately turned around and ran out, "Understood."

But not long after he ran out, another person came in, a Changqin person.

He whispered a few words in Chang Qin's ear, Chang Qin immediately changed his face, and said to Xiao Chong, "Go."

Xiao Chong was puzzled, "Where are you going?"

"He Ying found out."

"Found what?"

"The Lord of Luobei City has sent people to search Nuanxiang Pavilion." Chang Qin's spy replied, "We will be found soon."

He knows! ?

What Xiao Chong first thought of was not his own safety, "Then Ye Lan?"

Chang Qin stared at Xiao Chong, rolled his eyes, and stood up.

"You don't have to worry about him."

Xiao Chong just wanted to refute, but his eyes went dark.

When he woke up again, he was no longer in Luobei City.

This is Nandu, an uninhabited city about a day away from Luobei City.

As soon as Xiao Chong asked, he was startled, had he been in a coma for a day and a night?

Enduring the dizziness still in his mind, he pushed the soldier guarding his bed hard, "I'm going to find Chang Qin."

"General!" The soldier pulled Xiao Chong back, "Your medicine is not over yet."

Xiao Chong turned his head, and the murderous look in his eyes shocked all the soldiers who had experienced battle, "He gave me medicine?"

The soldier was anxious, "There's nothing we can do about it. If we didn't back out then, He Ying's people would definitely catch us all."

"So we gave up on Liang Qiu and Ye Lan?"

Xiao Chong clenched his teeth, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself if he said another word, so he closed his eyes hard, kicked his shoes, and walked towards the door of the room.

As soon as he reached the door, the door opened abruptly.

The person who entered was Cheng Yuan.

"Little master!" Cheng Yuan pressed Xiao Chong's shoulder, "Go back and rest first!"

Xiao Chong brushed his hand away, "I'm not hurt or sick, why rest!?"

He shouted, "Prepare two hundred people for me, and I will go back to save Ye Lan."

Cheng Yuan stared, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know what's going on in Luo Beicheng now? You plan to go back and return two hundred people." He was so angry that he couldn't speak, "Did you die in vain?"

He never imagined that Xiao Chong, who had always been calm, was now like a demon.

When Xiao Chong proposed to rescue the Ye family from Luobei City before, he didn't think much about agreeing, but seeing Xiao Chong's firm attitude, he didn't mention it. Seeing Xiao Chong losing his mind now is really unbearable for him.

He is Xiao Hantian's son!

He should be calm, decisive, and not be affected by personal feelings, "Then what is the importance of the Ye family boy to you!?"

Xiao Chong opened his eyes, as if he didn't hear Cheng Yuan's words, he still walked out the door, "Give me 200 people."

Cheng Yuan directly grabbed Xiao Chong's neck. His current kung fu is incomparable to Xiao Chong's, but he still has a lot of strength, "Then we have to wait a few more days!"

"I want to save him!"

Xiao Chong just woke up from a coma, he couldn't think too much at all, Ye Lan alone had occupied all his thoughts.

"But you have to know where he is locked up!"

Cheng Yuan's words successfully made Xiao Chong stop, but made him even more anxious, he could hardly breathe, "Is he really locked up?"

Cheng Yuan sighed, since he couldn't stop Xiao Chong, he had to help him!

"I have already sent people in to inquire, saying that the people in the Ye Mansion are doing as usual, probably to deal with Ye Cang who is in the extreme north, but Ye Lan was taken away by He Ying's people that night, in name He entered He's mansion, but..." Cheng Yuan looked at Xiao Chong with complicated eyes, "You also know what might happen, so acting rashly may not save him, and it may make He Ying doubt him even more. , he is dead."

Xiao Chong finally regained consciousness, leaning against the door like falling apart, "I understand."

"He Hui has already brought special soldiers to drive here. If you want to lead people to sneak into Luobei City, you must be accompanied by them."

Xiao Chong nodded slightly, "I see."

He finally calmed down a bit, he escaped from the almost crazy attitude just now, his eyes regained clarity, "Where is Liang Qiu, is he also locked up?"

"He didn't. It seems that He Ying sent someone to search for him first, and only then did he arrest Ye Lan."

The Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves, with Liang Qiu's scheming, he must have found a way out.

But he must not have thought that Ye Lan would be implicated by him.

"Where are the people we arranged in Luobei City?" Xiao Chong asked again.

"They didn't show their heads. You and Chang Qin escaped. They don't have a backbone, so they definitely don't dare to act rashly. Now Luobei City's defenses are very tight, and even a messenger pigeon can't fly out. They won't take this risk."

Xiao Chong's face turned cold, "Call everyone who can talk to the hall now."

Cheng Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, this is what Xiao Chong should look like, he nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it for you now."

……

The cage is dark, and Ye Lan has spent so many years in He's residence, but she didn't know that there is such a world underground in their house.

His breathing rate was very slow, and he could hear every sound clearly.

There was a person sitting opposite him, that person looked very leisurely, occasionally raised his eyes to look at himself, and then looked down at the small box in his hand.

There were silver needles in the box, and when they were stuck in the fingertips, they would not bleed or leave any marks, but the pain made people scream.

This is already the third day.

Ye Lan curled up against the wall and swallowed hard, his throat was really dry.

"Second young master, just say it," the guard is the servant of the He family, and he has seen Ye Lan many times. Looking at such an energetic person, his eyes are all bloodshot, and his whole body is trembling with exhaustion. Feeling sorry, "If you continue like this, you will die."

"Something I don't know," Ye Lan gritted her teeth, "What should I say."

He had heard of many cruel torture methods from Liang Qiu, and he thought that the one that didn't make people sleep was the easiest one, but he didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable.

He couldn't close his eyes, otherwise his guards would try to wake him up in various ways.

Unless he can tell the whereabouts of Liang Qiu and Xiao Chong.

He was really grateful that the two of them had kept the location of their hiding places a secret from him.

Otherwise, it wouldn't take that much time at all, he must have told He Ying everything.

Now as long as there is someone who says he can get a good night's sleep, he can be desperate.

Such a stalemate, and I don't know when it will stop, but Ye Lan is actually relieved. After being dragged to He's house for so long, his impatient mother must have been unable to sit still. Once she comes to ask for someone, He Ying will not stop. Hand it over, unless he really wants to break with the Ye family.

Ye Lan didn't dare to think about the worst.

Why did He Ying only ask Ye Cang to take half of the people out, why did he find someone to search Nuanxiang Pavilion just after he successfully defended...

How long has he known about this, and how much has he known...

Ye Lan laughed when he thought of this, he was thinking so much, even if he was really asked to sleep, he would not be able to fall asleep.

The servant glanced at Ye Lan and asked, "Second Young Master, what did you think of?"

Ye Lan raised his eyes. In just three days and three nights, he seemed to have lost a whole circle of weight. His reaction power has dropped a lot, and his speech speed is extremely slow. It seems that one word can use up all his strength, "No."

The servant sighed. He and He Ying had reflected that he really felt that the second young master didn't know anything.

But He Ying just smirked, "He must know everything. I never thought that Ye Lan has such perseverance, but it will be soon, and the trial will be re-examined."

retrial.

How else can it be judged.

Jia Ding looked at the silver needle in his hand...

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, as if it has never snowed a few days ago.

The reason why the Southern Capital is called the Southern Capital is because this spring comes the fastest. If it weren't for the dewdrops from last night on the petals in the morning, it would be hard to tell that this is still in the North.

Chang Qin sat on the horse, feeling uneasy, and didn't know where to put his eyes.

He was asked to meet He Hui at the gate of the city.

It's been two years since I've seen each other, and even the letters haven't been passed. The person who was closest to me doesn't know how to deal with it.

There was no one in the southern capital, so the city gates were naturally opened at will. Chang Qin took the horse rope and wandered around without raising his head.

He wanted to look at him, but didn't dare.

Especially now that he didn't do anything to help Ye Lan, it doesn't matter if Xiao Chong doesn't want to talk to him, if He Hui also...

Chang Qin felt that he was not flustered at the moment when he was killing the enemy on the battlefield.

"It seems to be here!" Someone said.

The people behind Chang Qin began to respond.

Only then did Chang Qin raise his head, and the wind and sand blown up by the horse's hooves in the distance were very obvious. He looked forward in a daze, but it was beyond his expectations.

The leader is He Hui.

It's He Hui, but not like him.

He almost forgot that He Hui could ride a horse.

When He Hui fell off his horse, his legs were almost disabled and he couldn't walk. Later, he invited many famous doctors to take care of him, and he was just able to walk.

It took many more days before he could be no different from ordinary people, but he would be tired from standing for a long time, let alone try to ride a horse again.

Chang Qin couldn't believe it. He Hui was the one riding towards him now that he was riding a horse.

With mixed feelings in my heart, my eyes are hot and humid.

In the past two years, not only himself has changed, but he has also changed.

Become more dazzling, so that the self in the dark cannot look directly.

Seeing someone waiting, He Hui slowed down the horse's speed a little, and before it even stopped, he calmly overtook the horse and jumped off.

"Changqin!"

He Hui's voice didn't change, it was still the same soft.

Chang Qin felt trembling in his head, took a breath before responding, "You're here."

He Hui nodded, turned around neatly, and ordered to the people behind him, "Go in first."

Holding the rein in one hand, he said to Chang Qin, "As soon as I received the letter, I rushed here with my men, but I don't know the specifics very well, so you have to explain it to me in detail."

Chang Qin blinked, and He Hui's attitude was too frank, making his twitchiness pale by comparison. He quickly adjusted himself, cleared his throat, and said seriously, "It's like this."

He Hui walked and listened all the way, his eyebrows stretched slowly into a frown, "Isn't Ye Lan's life and death uncertain now?"

Chang Qin lowered his head.

"It's not your fault." He Hui looked at Chang Qin and said sincerely, "If it were me, facing the choice at that time, I would take Xiao Chong away first."

Chang Qin didn't respond, but kept his face sullen, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.

But this is only limited to others. He Hui is still the one who can feel his emotions most sensitively. He touched Chang Qin's shoulder, "I know you blame yourself, so we have to work harder to rescue Ye Lan."

It's still the same, He Hui, who always looks after everyone like a brother.

Chang Qin was silent for a long time, and He Hui didn't bother him, the two of them walked up to Xiao Chong without stopping.

Xiao Chong was also surprised when he saw this energetic He Hui at the beginning, but he had more important things than these, "How many people did you bring?"

"A total of thirty."

"Is this enough?"

He Hui was much more stable than he was at this time, "Don't worry, I personally picked out these thirty people. Not to mention their excellent skills, their night vision ability and lurking level are all one in ten thousand," he said to Xiao Chong again. Explain, "When the time comes, I will personally bring people in."

Seeing Chang Qin staring at him, He Hui smiled, "There is no one who knows the house better than me."

"Then I'm going too."

"Okay," He Hui promised Chang Qin would treat him like a child, "You must go."

Xiao Chong understood Chang Qin, the first reason he went was to protect He Hui, and the other was to personally rescue Ye Lan so as to make up for his guilt.

He didn't blame Chang Qin, it's just that he couldn't pass his test, so, "I'll go too."

He Hui pursed his lips, "Chang Qin can go, but you can't."

"why?!"

"Concern leads to chaos," He Hui said with reason and evidence, "Look at your current state, I don't think your state can bring Ye Lan back. If you really want to contribute to this matter, just sit down Here, let everyone rest at ease."

"but I……"

He Hui looked at Xiao Chong's distressed appearance, obviously he was anxious these days, he couldn't eat well or sleep well, even if he had unrivaled kung fu, he couldn't help at all, he gestured to Xiao Chong with his eyes, and shook his head. Nodding your head, "Listen to me, compared to people who often do these things, your experience is not enough at all. There is no room for mistakes in this matter, can you trust me?"

Xiao Chong has always promised, but in fact he has long since lost his backbone. Seeing that He Hui is so reliable, he has no choice but to entrust everything to him, "Then, please."

He Hui nodded, in fact, he had his own plans in mind.

He knew He Ying's methods well, and now Ye Lan might have been tortured. If Xiao Chong went and saw Ye Lan's appearance, he would inevitably be furious, and he might do something. The preparations are all over.

He supported Xiao Chong's shoulders, "Listen, you are going to prepare something for us now, you are more familiar with this place, let me discuss it with others first, tonight," he repeated to reassure Xiao Chong, "tonight We will set off, and the news will be sent back every two hours, and we will send you a message as soon as we receive Ye Lan, and you must always be ready to find someone to respond."

After a while, Xiao Chong seemed to have made up his mind, and nodded vigorously, "I understand."

He Hui immediately gathered the thirty people he had just brought together, plus Chang Qin, to discuss the plan together.
