Chapter 187 Moving reinforcements
Huan Ge'er climbed out of the academy from the back wall as if he knew the way.
Ever since his mother came and he became a good boy, he hasn't climbed over the wall for almost a year.
I don’t know if it was because he grew a lot taller because of the good food and drink his mother took care of him this year, or because he became more skilled in martial arts after learning from his father. At the beginning of the year, he looked at a high wall and took two steps at a time and jumped over it in one leap.
He landed easily and found Shi Tou and a group of guards waiting at the foot of the wall.
"Master, I was so worried! I thought you were arrested!"
Shi Tou just watched the constables rushing in. He used two pieces of dried meat to trick the constable guarding the gate into believing that they were going in to arrest the young master of the Pei family. He was so anxious that he was about to smoke.
Just now, when he saw the constables escorting someone out, he almost rushed over to grab the person. But when he saw that it was the young master of the Xie family, who was winking at him, he understood and quickly went to wait at the foot of the wall.
"Xie An was arrested in my place."
As Huan Ge'er spoke, he rummaged under a large rock at the foot of the wall. After a while, he unearthed a package. He opened it and found money, sticks, saws, marbles, a notched dagger, and even a few moldy cakes.
These were the treasures that he and Xie An had hidden when they were playing mischief in the past, in case of emergency.
I used it today.
He thought about it and took everything.
"Master, what should we do now?"
Shi Tou asked anxiously while helping to collect things.
"Take two people and leave the city right now to find Dad! You two go to the Xie Mansion to report the news, you stand guard at the entrance of the Dali Temple, and you come with me to find a way to save Mom!"
Huan Ge'er quickly assigned tasks to several guards.
The people from the Dali Temple have come to the academy, which means the General's Mansion has also fallen, and there's a high probability that Mom has been arrested. I need to find Dad and work out a solution together.
But he can't leave his mother alone.
He has to stay.
After everything was arranged, everyone went their separate ways.
The weather was cold, and it was even more freezing cold inside the Dali Temple Prison.
As Su Li stepped in, a musty and cold smell hit her in the face.
"Get in!"
The jailer opened the cell door and pushed her and Song Tao in.
There was already a person in the cell, a small figure wearing academy clothes standing in the corner.
Su Li didn't care about the jailer's unreasonableness at all and rushed towards the figure.
"Brother Huan!"
But as soon as I hugged the person in my arms, I felt a sense of tension!
Huan Ge'er was thin. Although he had stopped abstaining from meat in the past few months, he was still rather thin. The man in his arms felt plump and very firm.
When you get closer, the smell is different.
Concern leads to chaos!
Su Li looked down and saw Xie An blinking and smiling at her, pretending to cry while smiling:
"Mom, mom, you're finally here! Huan Ge'er is so scared!"
At the same time, the voice of Tan Taiting came from behind:
"Mrs. Pei, Young Master Pei, enjoy your family life. Once I capture General Pei, I'll send you both on your way."
Song Tao and Su Li had already reacted and quickly pushed Xie An behind them. Su Li turned around and said angrily:
"Master Tantai, you have captured Huan Ge'er and I. Now you can tell us who is framing us!"
Tan Tai Ting smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Madam Pei. Once I capture General Pei, I'll make sure you die knowingly before I send you off."
After saying this, he laughed triumphantly, had the cell door closed and left.
When the prison was quiet, Xie An winked and whispered:
"Aunt Su, don't worry, Huan Ge'er is very smart! Nothing will happen to him."
Su Li touched Xie An's head with a distressed look and said:
"Silly child, Aunt Su will feel just as bad if you come in for him."
Xie An tilted his head, "Aunt Su feels sorry for me. So when we get out of here, Aunt Su will convince my mother to let me become the general's disciple, okay?"
"You! Okay, Aunt Su promises you."
After saying that, Su Li opened his cloak and took Xie An in. The three of them sat down against the wall.
……
The eldest princess's mansion.
When Fang Gu heard that Shen Yanqing actually came to her in person, she was surprised and happy at the same time.
Could it be that this idiot has finally come to his senses?
How could he come to my house in person?
Fang Gu came out to greet them personally, and saw Shen Yanqing standing outside the Princess Mansion, anxiously turning around. When he saw her, he said:
"Aunt, please take me to see the eldest princess quickly."
Fang Gu smiled and said:
"Master Shen, what's the urgent matter that requires such hassle?"
Shen Yanqing stamped his feet and couldn't help but cough in anxiety.
The General's Mansion was sealed by the Dali Temple, and no one inside could escape. He was only able to escape because of his official status.
After coming out of the General's Mansion, he ran all the way to the Princess's Mansion as Su Li instructed. The wounds on his chest and back had burst open, and they were burning with pain when he moved.
"Aunt, it's urgent. The General's Mansion has been surrounded by people from the Dali Temple. They say that Young Master Pei is the son of a traitor. Madam Pei and Young Master Pei have both been captured by the Dali Temple. I've come to the Princess to report this and save her life."
Fanggu was shocked when she heard this.
"Master Shen, this is truly unfortunate. Just an incense stick ago, the princess went into the palace."
"what?"
Shen Yanqing was sweating with anxiety.
His illness had not yet subsided, and coupled with the long journey, his face was now frighteningly pale.
"It's over!"
Fang Gu stamped her feet and said:
"I'll send people after them immediately. If we can catch up, that would be great. If we can't..."
Shen Yanqing's blood was boiling and he felt dizzy.
"Auntie will do her best. Shen will take his leave."
"Master Shen, where are you going?"
"Su Mansion!"
Shen Yanqing forced himself to swallow the sweet and fishy taste in his throat and headed towards the Yong'an Marquis Mansion without even touching the ground.
After struggling to reach the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, he stumbled and fell at the door as soon as he saw the doorman.
"Quick! Go to the Dali Temple and rescue them! Madam Pei, Young Master..."
Then his head tilted and he fainted.
……
Besides, Huan Ge'er was hiding outside the Dali Temple prison. Seeing his mother and Song Tao being taken into the cell, he turned around and prepared to go to the Princess's Mansion to ask for help.
But as soon as he walked onto the street, he saw the carriage from Prince Kang's palace.
He rolled his eyes and headed straight for King Kang's carriage.
The captain of the guards recognized Huan Ge'er at a glance and politely said, "Isn't this Young Master Pei from the General's Mansion?"
"Take me to see King Kang!"
Huan Ge'er brushed past him, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.
"Hey! Hey!" The captain of the guards was unable to stop him.
There was a woman tied up in the carriage.
The woman was quite beautiful, but she was very strong with broad shoulders and a big waist. Her biceps were especially strong, and they were tied and wrapped with hemp rope. Even though she was wearing a thick cotton coat, you could still see the bulges.
