"Lian Xian, do you have any good suggestions?" The Old Ancestor looked at Lian Xian and asked.
"Besieging the city today is a good idea. Wait! Declare that there is water in the city, then we will cut off their food supply and see how long they can hold out. At the same time, we will have people shout and curse during the day to disturb the defenders. At night, we will have archers shoot tens of thousands of letters of persuasion into the city to confuse the people. At the same time, the spies in the city will incite public anger. The people's hearts can be used! "Lian Xian thought about it and said confidently.
"Good, good, what a good idea. Besieging but not attacking. Even if the Zhong Residence does not move, the people will not be able to take it. Once they can't take it anymore, as long as someone incites, these people will want to leave the city and even incite a rebellion in the city. Even if they don't charge into the Zhong Residence, there will be people who will leave the city and declare the city's collapse. At that time, when the 800,000 soldiers enter the city, they will be able to kill Zhong Shan. "The Old Ancestor nodded with a smile.
Everyone nodded. Among them, Eunuch Wei from the Su family's side narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement with everyone.
Outside the city, a large army was pressing down on the border. Within the city, there were also waves of conflicts occurring in the Zhong Residence.
Outside the courtyard where Zhong Shan was in seclusion, a large number of archers were arranged around by Inglan. Inglan looked at the twenty people in front of her with anger.
There were more than twenty people, each of them wearing luxurious clothes, but their expressions were all different. Some of them were more aggressive and yelled at Ying Lan, while others followed suit and went with the flow. Of course, there were also some who looked on coldly and did not say anything.
"Inglan, what right do you have to stop us here? You are only Foster Father's grandaunt, and we are your uncles. What are you trying to do? "The leader of the group, a fat man, shouted angrily.
"It is very urgent now. Other than us who came back, the other brothers are all dead. Do you want to wait until the army breaks into the city?" Another man who was more aggressive shouted.
"Uncles, listen carefully. I will say it again. Granduncle is in seclusion now. Before he went into seclusion, he said that no one is to disturb him. Who dares to disobey? Also, all of you should know that no one is allowed to take half a step into this courtyard without Granduncle's permission. Could it be that all of you want to disobey Granduncle's orders? "Ying Lan glared at the group of uncles before her as she spoke.
"That depends on the time. Now that the army is here, the Zhong Residence is on the brink of life and death, what rules are there to talk about? Foster Father doesn't know the current situation.. "The Old Ancestor......." The fat man was the fat man........
"Hmph, blind loyalty? What I want is blind loyalty. I'll say it again. If anyone dares to take another step into that line, don't blame me for being impolite. "Ying Lan's eyes flashed with a hint of hostility.
....... . I. you...... I......... You've become arrogant just because you're favored by Foster Father? "The fat man asked again.
. "Archers, get ready. Kill whoever dares to step into that line." Inglan said fiercely. Even if they were Granduncle's foster sons, Inglan would show no mercy. For Granduncle, Inglan was willing to bear the crime of killing her uncles.
"Let's see who dares? Housekeeper, whose side are you on? "The fat man also said fiercely.
The housekeeper shook his head and looked at the fat man with a bitter expression. "Young Master, listen to Young Miss. Master said that no one is to disturb him."
"Hmph, that's because you didn't inform Foster Father that the army is coming. This conflict is because you didn't do your job well. If Foster Father knew, he wouldn't be in seclusion now. Today, we will definitely break through this gate. Let's see who dares to shoot at me," the fat man said angrily.
He stepped over the line. The archers were also in a difficult position. They didn't know whether to shoot or not.
Seeing the archers hesitate, the fat man became even more complacent. Some of the people behind him also walked over the line. Now, the archers didn't dare to shoot.
Inglan looked at her uncles who had crossed the line. The anger in her eyes grew. She couldn't count on these archers.
"Shing ~ ~ ~"
Ying Lan quickly pulled out a sword and blocked the entrance of the small courtyard.
"No one is allowed to enter!" Inglan roared again.
"Shing, shing, shing."
Following the fat man, two other people took out their swords and pointed them at Inglan.
"Inglan, get out of the way. This matter concerns the life and death of the Zhong family. It's not a game. Get out of the way. Otherwise, don't blame Uncle for being ruthless," said the fat man.
"Inglan, Foster Father should have heard us already. Did something happen to him? Why hasn't he come out? Today, we must go in."
"As long as I'm here, no one is allowed to enter." Inglan coldly said again. She pointed her sword at these former uncles.
Swords were drawn and bows were about to break out. Outside the small courtyard where Zhong Shan was in seclusion, there was a stifling atmosphere. It was as if everyone couldn't breathe. Inglan stared at this group of people. She raised her sword. It was as if if they took one more step, they would fight to the death.
The atmosphere was very stifling!
"Eldest Young Master is back! Eldest Young Master is back!" Suddenly, a long shout came from afar. The voice was filled with surprise.
Eldest Young Master? Which Eldest Young Master?
Inglan was stunned at first, but then her face lit up with joy.
Among the adopted sons, the fat man's expression changed. The others also had different expressions.
Eldest Young Master? Eldest Young Master Zhong Tian. He suddenly disappeared more than a year ago. In the Zhong family, other than Zhong Shan, he had the highest authority. Among all the adopted sons, he was the oldest. Zhong Tian.
Zhong Tian. Zhong Tian had just entered the city today. He also saw the eight hundred thousand soldiers outside. Something big had happened in the Zhong family.
Without any hesitation, he rushed to the Zhong family's residence. When he arrived at the Zhong family's entrance, he saw all the hidden sentries around the Zhong family's residence. Something big must have happened.
A housekeeper happened to be standing at the entrance and saw Zhong Tian at a glance. Zhong Tian's appearance was much younger, but this housekeeper happened to know the young Zhong Tian. Therefore, he recognized him at a glance.
"Eldest Young Master!" The housekeeper immediately called out in surprise. The guards at the entrance naturally didn't dare to stop him.
"What happened in the family?" Zhong Tian frowned and asked.
"Quick, quick, Miss Inglan and the other young masters are about to fight in front of the Old Master's courtyard." The housekeeper immediately said.
"What's going on?" Zhong Tian asked as he walked.
The housekeeper didn't dare to hide anything and quickly told him what happened.
When Zhong Tian walked to the front of the courtyard, he just happened to see a state of mutual hostility. The housekeeper's loud shout woke everyone up.
"Bastards, what are you doing?" Zhong Tian roared furiously.
Zhong Tian's eyes widened as he stared at this group of people.
"Big Brother!" "Big Brother!"
The young masters immediately called out timidly. Clearly, other than Zhong Shan, no one had more prestige in the Zhong family than Zhong Tian. Even Inglan didn't have this prestige.
"Don't you know where this is? Who gave you the courage to break into the Forbidden Courtyard? "Zhong Tian angrily glared at them.
"Uncle, you're back." Inglan immediately called out.
Turning his head to look at Inglan, Zhong Tian thought for a moment and finally confirmed that she was Inglan. After all, when he saw Inglan, she was only a teenager.
"You're Inglan? Good, you did well this time. "Zhong Tian immediately said.
"Yes." Inglan only nodded without much joy. After all, her granduncle hadn't come out, so nothing was important.
"Big Brother, right now, the Zhong family's survival is at stake. Foster Father isn't here, so we had no choice." The fat man immediately said.
"No choice? Hmph, didn't Foster Father tell you that even if the sky falls, you're not allowed to enter the Forbidden Courtyard? All of you, properly reflect on this. Also, in an hour, everyone is to go to the Yilan Pavilion. "Zhong Tian said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Big Brother." The young masters could only nod.
After they left, Zhong Tian looked at Inglan and gently smiled. "After ten years, Inglan has become a big girl. If you didn't call out to me, I wouldn't have recognized you."
"That's right. I'm slowly getting older, but uncle and uncle are getting younger and younger." Inglan immediately smiled. Since Zhong Tian had said that, it meant that he was standing on the same side as her. Naturally, they were much closer.
"Foster Father, are you alright?" Zhong Tian looked at the courtyard behind Inglan.
"Granduncle received some external injuries and is currently healing. He said that no one is to disturb him." Inglan nodded.
"Yes, you did very well. Come with me to the Yilan Pavilion. Now, tell me what happened. I just returned, so there are still many things I don't understand." Zhong Tian said.
"Alright." Inglan nodded.
Zhong Tian nodded. He then looked at the surrounding archers and said, "All of you, remember this. If anyone else comes, no matter which young master it is, even if it's me, as long as they cross this line, shoot them down. No one will blame you. If you fail to stop the intruder, that would be your dereliction of duty. You all know the rules of the Zhong Clan."
"Yes, sir." The archers were as silent as cicadas in winter.
Now that they had received their eldest young master's orders, who would dare hesitate?
