"I'm back!" You Miao shouted.
"Master!"
"It's the young master!"
The tenants were terrified as they passed it on from ten to ten. Li Zhifeng followed closely behind him and said, "Hurry up and don't fall!"
You Miao reined in the horse, kicked off the stirrup, turned over and dismounted from the horse and staggered towards the mansion like a bereaved dog. Shen Yuan's plaque was still there, a servant was cleaning the door, You Miao rushed up and gave him a kick, then laughed and stepped into the door.
"Master!" The little servant shouted in an instant, "Young master is back!"
"Master!"
All the little servants were startled, crying and laughing, rushing out from all directions to hug You Miao, Cheng Guangwu came over crying, You Miao stood in the front yard, heaving a long breath. There is a string of Buddha beads hanging on the shadow wall.
Li Zhifeng tied his horse and entered the door, and another humane said, "Butler Feng is back too!"
"I'm back." Li Zhifeng said lightly: "Call everyone out, where's Uncle?"
"Uncle went to Yangzhou!" Yaoguang smiled and said, "That's great, the young master is home!"
The villa was quiet, and there were many fewer people. Only then did You Miao realize something was wrong and asked, "Why are there only a few of you left?"
Cheng Guangwu continued to talk about the gestures, and You Miao and Li Zhifeng realized that as soon as Jiangbei fought and Anlu retreated south, Qiao Jue saw that something was wrong, so he had to take all the valuables to Yangzhou and take refuge for the time being. Several servants who served You Miao were unwilling to leave, and they all stayed behind. Qiao Jue said nothing, so he had to instruct Cheng Guangwu to let them flee south as soon as they saw that the momentum was not right.
"The spring wave is green under the sad bridge. It used to be a shocking shadow." Zhao Chao's voice said from the door: "Good poem."
Zhao Chao and Nie Dan only came at this time, and You Miao said, "Brother Nie, your third highness, just go to my younger brother's house and sit down. They are all busy! Cooking and cooking! Is Mrs. Qian still there? She also ran away?"
"I'm here." Guang Wu continued: "Chang Yuan was watching from the other side of the bridge. Sister Qian didn't leave. There are still a lot of people in the villa. They come up to clean them every day."
You Miao led Nie Dan and Zhao Chao in, and even if a servant came over to clean the couch and boil water, Nie Dan said with a displeased face: "You don't need to drink tea, what are you bringing us here for? The military situation is urgent, If you have nothing to do, then leave."
You Miao said, "I'm not busy, I have something important to do. Brother Nie, sit down first."
Zhao Chao ordered: "Sit down."
You Miao made a bowl of tea for each of them, and Li Zhifeng came over with a large map of the villa and said, "Table."
The servants moved the table into the hall, and Li Zhifeng said to You Miao, "The suspension bridge is still there."
With a clatter, as Li Zhifeng withdrew with one hand, the map was spread out, and Li Zhifeng pulled back in a dashing manner, covering the entire desk. You Miao pondered the map for a moment, and said, "This is the map of Jiangbo Villa. It goes to Guozhuang in the north and Anlu in the south. We don't care about it in the south, but in the north, there are two iron cable suspension bridges. One is that I just arrived at the villa four years ago. It was repaired at the time, and the other one was repaired just last year, and everyone can leave."
Nie Dan seemed to understand and said, "Night raid?"
"There is a chance." Zhao Chao muttered.
You Miao took the ink pen, made a circle at the downstream of Guozhuang, and said, "There is a wharf here. When we get here, the river is narrow and the wind and waves are turbulent. There is no way to go by boat."
"Hmm." Nie Dan narrowed his eyes and nodded.
You Miao said again: "We can evacuate all the people to Jiangnan, 2,000 people. After the evacuation, the Jie people will definitely think that we have all escaped and will camp on the south bank. The cavalry will go north of Jiangbo Villa and give them a place to stay. Attack from behind and rush down from the heights. If they cut off the back road, they will be forced to the riverside.”
"In this way, the soldiers of the Jiebu will have to follow the river. They are all cavalry. When they go upstream, it is a mud stall, and the horses' hooves are easy to sink in. They have to go downstream."
Nie Dan immediately said, "Got it."
Then he drank the tea and said, "Take me to see the suspension bridge."
You Miao said: "I haven't finished yet!"
"Needless to say." Nie Dan said, "Go out and give orders to let the brothers cross the river in secret."
Li Zhifeng said, "Here."
Saying that, he pointed at one of them, the cliff on the river bank, and said, "If I remember correctly, there are still tens of thousands of kilograms of stones. You can wait for the Jieren to come, and then push all the stones piled on the cliff at once. down."
You Miao was taken aback and asked, "Where did the stone come from?"
Li Zhifeng said: "Last summer, when the mountain torrents brought down the Yangtze River, my uncle sent people to push stones and wooden carts onto the cliffs to prepare embankments.
Outside, there was a little servant who probed his brain, and You Miao said, "What?"
"Young master." Chang Yuan smiled and came in with his sleeves wrapped around him. Except for Cheng Guangwu, You Miao's servants took him as their leader. You Miao then smiled and waved, "Come here."
Chang Yuan came in, You Miao hugged him, and Chang Yuan hissed: "Please say goodbye to the young master, everyone has been crazy in the past few months."
You Miao smiled and said, "Isn't this coming back?"
Chang Yuan bowed again and said, "Sister Qian heard that the young master was coming back and was about to cook. Guang Wu said to make something simple and use it first. Now I have made some noodles in the stove. The young master will decide whether to eat it now or wait for a while."
"Eat first, eat first." You Miao almost made her eyes darken again, and said, "Bring four bowls up."
The servant outside was holding a wooden plate and waiting, and as soon as he heard the order, he brought it in immediately. Four big bowls, with neatly sized, crispy and fragrant roast pork, two poached eggs in each bowl, soaked in tender green rape. You Miao's eyes turned green when she smelled the fragrance. The first bowl was given to Zhao Chao first, and Li Zhifeng was going to take it out to eat, but You Miao said, "Li Zhifeng has always eaten with me. It's like this on weekdays, and it's the same rule when guests come."
Zhao Chao couldn't care about anything when he saw the face, he waved his hands to show it was okay, and sat aside to eat.
Nie Dan just took two bites and put it down, frowning deeply, still looking at the map.
You Miao and Zhao Chao finished eating the noodles like ghosts, and You Miao said again, "Li Zhifeng, here's some high-quality tea."
Li Zhifeng snorted and made four cups of oolong. Nie Dan discussed with Zhao Chao for a while, and decided on the tactics. Fang Feng finished eating the noodles and said, "I'll arrange the withdrawal of the troops."
Zhao Chao said: "I will take someone to guard the suspension bridge of the villa, and arrange the organs by the way."
Li Zhifeng said, "I'll go."
Zhao Chao said: "It's hard to come back, you two can rest."
Li Zhifeng said, "This is my home, and the Jie people have hit the door. I have to fight."
You Miao looked at Li Zhifeng with a warm heart at this moment, and said, "I'll go too."
However, Li Zhifeng instructed: "Chang Yuan served the young master to take a bath, Wei Zhen followed me to spread the word, and Shao Wei went to Yangzhou to deliver a letter to the uncle. Guangwu, go outside and call back all the tenants who have left the villa, and let them prepare for the spring. If you plant the seeds, you say that the young master is back, and if you don’t go back to the villa, the land will be rented to others.”
All the servants said "yes" and went away. You Miao couldn't help smiling, but Li Zhifeng said to You Miao, "I'll let Weizhen come back to talk to you later, you can rest assured."
You Miao hummed, Li Zhifeng had already left. Zhao Chao thought about it and said, "I'm going too."
You Miao nodded, and everyone dispersed. You Miao sat in the hall, feeling that it was really nice to go home.
