“I’ve told you, if you want to discuss it, hand over Xu Zhengyong first!”
"That won't work. Apart from Xu Zhengyong, we have other solutions that can be discussed."
“Damn, you’re wasting my time!” Tian Yuande finally lost his patience and ordered his subordinates to lay siege to the farmhouse in front of him.
Yu Zixiu hurriedly protected Wei Ruo behind him: "Miss, this person can't listen to what you are saying. Please go back to the house and leave it to us to deal with it."
"No, my goal has been achieved, time is enough." Wei Ruo was not panicked.
Yu Zixiu looked at Wei Ruo in surprise and didn't understand what Wei Ruo meant when he said the goal was achieved and time was enough.
Just when he was doubtful, a rapid sound of horse hooves attracted everyone's attention.
This sound is so loud that you can tell that there are a lot of people coming.
Tian Yuande looked behind him in confusion, only to see an army even more spectacular than his team coming towards this side.
Tian Yuande was greatly shocked and quickly sent someone to inquire.
However, before his people could pass by, the army had already arrived in front of him.
Seeing the flag, Tian Yuande's expression changed drastically, and then he quickly dismounted his horse and hurriedly rushed to the opponent's team to kneel down and salute.
“The last general, Tian Yuande, pays homage to the governor!”
In the cavalry team, there is a man in armor who is about fifty years old and has a gray beard.
"Tian Yuande, what are you doing here? What do you want to do if your people don't guard the pass?"
“Reporting to the Governor, my subordinates are here to catch the spies from the Jurchen tribe!” Tian Yuande replied quickly.
“There are people from Prince Rui’s Mansion over there. Why are you arresting spies to surround the people from Prince Rui’s Mansion?”
Facing Governor Lu Wei’s question, Tian Yuande was dumb on the spot. He didn’t know how to answer and looked around with twinkling eyes.
The appearance of Governor Ji Liao also surprised Yu Zixiu and others.
Why did Governor Ji Liao appear here?
Yu Zixiu's surprised eyes fell on Wei Ruo. He saw Wei Ruo asking: "Miss, did you invite this Governor of Ji Liao?"
Before Wei Ruo could answer, Zhang Yi, who had returned with the governor, returned to Wei Ruo and reported to Wei Ruo.
“Miss, I’m late.”
"The time is just right, not too late." Wei Ruo had calculated the time it would take to go from her place to the Governor's Mansion and back. She had just estimated that they would be arriving soon. As long as there were no accidents, there wouldn't be much time difference, so she deliberately delayed it. After a while.
She was indeed talking nonsense to Tian Yuande, and her original purpose was not to persuade Tian Yuande.
Yu Zixiu couldn't help but ask Wei Ruo: "Why did the eldest lady predict that Tian Yuande would come to her door?"
"I had guessed the reason why Xu Zhengyong was captured before, and this was confirmed after I met Xu Zhengyong. He was indeed ordered to lead a small team on patrol when he ran into a large Jurchen tribe and was arrested. It was Tian A trap set by Yuan De in order to eliminate dissidents.”
"And the place where he has the best chance to catch Xu Zhengyong and silence him is in Ji Town. Once he leaves Ji Town and his sphere of influence, it will not be so convenient for him to do anything again." "So I am sure that he will be in danger. , the time is within these two days. And I sent Zhang Yi to ask Governor Jiliao in advance to be safe. Regardless of whether Tian Yuande will come to us at this time, I will report this matter to Governor Jiliao. "
Wei Ruo had heard before that Governor Ji Liao was an upright and patriotic man, so she decided to give it a try.
And even if the rumors are false and her judgment about Governor Ji Liao is wrong, then she will not make things worse by inviting Governor Ji Liao over, fighting Tian Yuande's army and the soldiers and horses brought by Governor Ji Liao Fighting is extremely difficult for people like them now.
But for her poison, there is no difference between the arrival of a thousand people and the arrival of ten thousand people.
So if she bets right, she will save herself a trouble; if she bets wrong, it will not be worse.
After listening to Wei Ruo's explanation, Yu Zixiu couldn't help but feel impressed. He originally thought that the eldest lady was worried about the prince's injury and did not consider these things, but he did not expect that the eldest lady thought of something that they did not consider.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but ask: "Okay, okay, it would be bad if Governor Ji Liao didn't come with me immediately, or if we were delayed on the way."
"It's not that bad. I delayed it for so long not only to wait for you to come, but also to wait for the opportunity to poison me." Wei Ruodao.
Thanks to Chu Lan at this point, because of Chu Lan's incident, Wei Ruo had a long eyes and began to try to develop methods that can quickly deal with the army.
Because she didn’t want to have no power to resist again when Chu Lan led his troops to surround her.
The method she developed is to mix poison into gunpowder. When a small thunderbolt is ignited, what is released will no longer be ordinary smoke.
And the amount of ammunition she carried was enough to deal with the people brought by Tian Yuande.
However, since she has asked Zhang Yi to invite Governor Ji Liao, it is best to wait until Governor Ji Liao comes to solve the problem, and poison is a last resort.
As Wei Ruo spoke, she was holding black spherical objects the size of fingernails in her hands. It turned out that she had already planned to do something.
Yu Zixiu and Zhang Yi looked at Wei Ruo with expressions of wonder and admiration.
Among them, not everyone was convinced by Wei Ruo from the beginning. Yu Zixiu was the one who was not so convinced by Wei Ruo.
He believed that their master's decision to give up the throne for Wei Ruo was a very unwise decision, and even felt that their master had paid too much for Wei Ruo.
It's just that because she is the person recognized by the master, he has to obey her orders and protect her.
But now his thoughts about Wei Ruo have completely changed, and for the first time, he begins to admire and respect Wei Ruo from the bottom of his heart.

Wei Ruo returned to the room. On the bed, Wei Jin also watched Wei Ruo walking towards her and asked softly: "How is it?"
He can now speak. His throat is not as dry as before, but his voice is still hoarse.
"Governor Ji Liao took Tian Yuande away and said he would handle it according to military law. He also asked Brother Xiaoyong to report back to the military camp after he recovered from his injuries. We should be safe for the time being." Wei Ruodao.
"Thanks a lot."
"Second brother told me no matter how hard it was, he always protected me, and I always had to switch to protecting him several times." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Ruo sat down by Wei Jinyi's bed: "Second brother, I am not a weak woman. There are many things that I can handle well."
Wei Jin also looked at Wei Ruo, something flashed in his beautiful eyes like stars. (End of chapter)
