Not to mention that Su Yao felt tired, Mr. Wu was emotional before and didn't realize he was scared for a while. Now that everything was over, looking at the corpses on the ground, he realized it belatedly and felt his whole body goosebumps.
But as soon as Su Yao gave the order, he immediately woke up. Thinking that he could wash away the shame of many years and avenge his clansmen who were slaughtered by Japanese pirates, he felt that he had endless energy and agreed with great enthusiasm.
The Third Master of the Wu Family was also smart enough and quickly took over the conversation: "Your Highness, Crown Princess, don't worry, I will take people to the street to check it out immediately, and I will also take good care of the girls you placed before."
Although the Third Master of the Wu family was very smart, he was not the kind of person who would play tricks on others. Su Yao watched from the sidelines and knew that the next patriarch of the Wu family would probably be the Third Master, so he nodded in a friendly manner.
After Mr. Wu recovered his spirit, he looked at the sky and asked Su Yao to go to rest first: "You have been busy all night, you should go and rest. There is nothing to do tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
Mother Shen, who was beside Su Yao, heard this and looked at her, a little worried. After all, Su Yao had been enduring this for a long time.
The Wu family members and guards in the yard had already begun to clean up the bodies, and it seemed that the matter had been completely resolved.
Su Yao shook his head with a serious expression: "No, it's not over yet."
What
The Third Master of the Wu Family suddenly raised his head and looked at her, somewhat surprised: "Crown Princess, aren't they all here? Is there any other arrangement?"
Of course there are other arrangements. No one puts all their eggs in one basket. These pirates may just be seeking wealth or venting anger, so they become the knives of others, but what about the people behind the scenes? They must be manipulating all this for something, right
They've gone to such great lengths, colluding with pirates and Japanese pirates, and sacrificing the lives of hundreds of girls to lure her into the trap. So she is the target of those people.
Since she is the target, then the matter is not over yet.
Just as she always made preparations for both scenarios every time she made a plan, she believed that those people would do the same.
In the current situation, since external forces are not enough, it is of course time for the traitor to take action.
Old Master Wu was also confused, and then he suddenly remembered that Su Yao seemed to have sent a group of people out of the city before, so he couldn't help but ask: "Princess Crown Prince, are you talking about... the group of people you sent out to ask for reinforcements before..."
The old man had indeed experienced a lot, and his judgment of things was much more accurate than that of ordinary people. When he saw Su Yao slightly raised his chin, he couldn't help but be shocked: "But, Crown Princess, our people are all here! If, if they really rush to the city gate in the name of reinforcements, even if our people want to stop them, they can't stop them!"
He was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his head.
After all, he was old, and he swayed and was about to lose his balance.
Fortunately, the third master of the Wu family was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he supported him.
Seeing that he was a little bit exhausted, Su Yao nodded at him calmly, "Don't worry, old man. I have my own ideas about this matter. You can go back and have a rest first. Also, take stock of the ancestral house and tidy up what needs to be tidied. As for the rest, it won't be too late to discuss it after I come back."
If someone else said this, Mr. Wu would not believe it, but when Su Yao said this, the old man felt that she must have a way to solve this problem.
After such a night of trouble, Mr. Wu really couldn't hold on any longer. He nodded tiredly at Su Yao and said softly, "Then I'll trouble the Crown Princess."
Seeing that Mr. Wu was being supported by the Third Master of the Wu Family to rest, Mother Shen asked Su Yao: "Crown Princess, what should we do now..."
Mother Shen sneezed.
She had been running around with Su Yao these days and hadn't had a good rest. When the sea breeze blew in front of her eyes, she felt a little overwhelmed.
"Don't follow me. You and Madam Qin stay here and sort out our things." Su Yao saw that Mother Shen was about to object, so he shook his head and said, "It's windy at the city gate. Besides, I have people with me. If you follow me, you will just be blown by the wind. Don't worry, I will take good care of myself. Besides, Jinping and the others are following me, so I'll be fine."
Mother Shen knew that Su Yao didn't want to run around and suffer with her, and she also knew that she couldn't change Su Yao's decision, so she could only helplessly remind him: "Then you should be careful."
Su Yao smiled and patted the back of her hand.
The wind outside was getting stronger. As soon as Su Yao went out, she shivered. Jinping hurriedly pulled her cloak closer.
Liu Jie followed the carriage in silence. He didn't know how long he had been walking. He quietly called out from outside, "Crown Princess, we're here."
Su Yao came out of the carriage, the oilcloth covering her body whistling in the wind. She glanced toward the horizon and saw many militiamen standing on the city wall. She nodded slowly at Liu Jie.
They brought all their personal soldiers with them, and almost everyone who should have come had arrived. After going straight up to the city wall, they saw the militiamen with excitement and doubt in their eyes.
They all looked at these big shots from the city with some curiosity, wondering how they got here.
The west side of Wujiabao faces the sea, which is the main defensive area. Generally, the Japanese pirates attack from there.
As for the South Gate, that is where the people from the surrounding areas enter the city. It is usually calm and peaceful. Even Japanese pirates cannot get around here and break in, so the defense is not tight.
Not to mention the need to use so many elite soldiers who are obviously well-equipped.
Seeing that they were all curious, Liujie gathered them together and said something.
Then they were arranged to change clothes with the elite Yulin Guards and Jinyi Guards around Su Yao, and were asked to go down to the city.
The wind made the wind lantern on the city wall sway. Normally, there wouldn't be many people on the city wall on such a day, as most people went inside to avoid the wind.
Therefore, if ordinary militiamen were here at this time, they probably would not notice the people rolling in from afar.
But at this moment, the ones standing here were the Jinyiwei and Yulinwei. They were all elite soldiers in the court. Plus, the Jinyiwei had clairvoyance, so they had already spotted the group of people and reported it to Su Yao.
Liu Jie's face was somewhat solemn, and he whispered to Su Yao, "Princess Crown Prince, I'm afraid we may not be able to delay these people for long. I'm afraid..."
Su Yao's expression remained unchanged: "No need to delay, just let them in."
