Reborn Before My Husband Ascends the Throne
Chapter 77

Er Bao was very nervous, worried that Ye Suijin was mad.

Fengshou steward once secretly went to visit brothels, his wife found out, and she went mad.

She laughed first, after laughing, then chased and beat Fengshou steward until his nose swelled and his face bruised, and he didn't dare fight back.

Er Bao hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Ye Suijin again.

He heard Ye Suijin ask: "What are Xiang Da and Ye Mancang's attitudes? Did they participate?"

On the way here, Er Bao had reviewed the situation he was going to report many times, just waiting for Ye Suijin to ask.

It was mainly about how that dog man Zhao Jingwen and that delicate and arrogant beauty from the Pei family got involved.

Unexpectedly, Ye Suijin didn't ask about this dog couple at all, but asked about Xiang Da and Ye Mancang first?

Er Bao replied: "They both participated in preparing everything and went to Fangling together."

After a pause, he also told how he discovered something wrong at the time, how he tried to probe Ye Mancang, and how Ye Mancang lied.

Ye Suijin's face turned cold.

Right, this kind of expression was normal.

It wasn't so...frightening.

Ye Suijin asked about the situation at the river mouth again.

Er Bao said: "Two hundred people were left to garrison the river mouth, and the others were all taken to Fangzhou."

He added: "Our hundred people all stayed, those who left were all newcomers."

Ye Suijin nodded: "You've worked hard, go rest well."

She called for someone.

The servant quickly entered.

Ye Suijin let the servant arrange for Er Bao to rest.

She also called Duan Jin: "Call everyone together for a meeting."

The prefect of Biyang suddenly notified that an emergency meeting would be held.

Fourth Uncle Ye hurried over and saw the others, asking: "What happened?"

However, no one else knew either, even Duan Jin looked at Ye Suijin.

He only knew that when Er Bao came back, he went directly to Qiusheng, and then Ye Suijin talked privately with Er Bao.

It meant that the things Er Bao came back to report were on the same line as Qiusheng, they were all about Zhao Jingwen's side.

It was the thing that Ye Suijin would let him abstain from before.

When everyone arrived, they were all waiting for Ye Suijin to speak.

Ye Suijin said, "Zhao Jingwen remarried in Fangzhou, I'm going to the river mouth."

The room was quiet for a moment.

Probably because everyone's mind stopped working for a while.

Because everyone had imagined many possibilities, most of them were related to the things they were responsible for, or related to the things they cared about.

No one thought that Zhao Jingwen, this son-in-law, would remarry outside.

Even Mr. Yang's mind froze for a moment.

Everyone felt incredulous - Zhao Jingwen, did he get his head clipped by a door?

What was the situation with his wife Ye Suijin now!

He remarried???

Unbelievable!

And no one knew what to say about this matter.

Fourth Uncle Ye's mouth opened several times, but he didn't know how to phrase it.

Finally, Mr. Yang spoke up: "Is it true? Confirmed?"

Ye Suijin nodded: "I had planted people to keep an eye on that side, this was reported back urgently by a fast horse."

Mr. Yang asked about the specifics, and Ye Suijin told everyone the general situation.

She also told them: "Pei Ze's father and grandfather were both the Military Governor of Jian'nan. Now the Emperor of Shu, Wang Rong, was originally his father's deputy. During the handover between the old and new leadership after his father's death, he launched a mutiny and usurped the position of Military Governor of Jian'nan."

"Pei Ze wandered to Fangzhou after vicissitudes, and took root there." "He occupied a prefecture, accumulated strength, and hoped to regain Jian'nan Road one day."

Mr. Yang didn't ask where she got all this information from, he just asked, "How many people are you taking?"

Ye Suijin said, "A thousand is enough."

Fifth Son Ye jumped up: "Sis! I'm going with you! Let's tie Zhao Jingwen back! I'll help you beat him up!"

"Ah." But Ye Suijin laughed, "I'm not going there to tie up Zhao Jingwen."

Fourth Uncle Ye wasn't sure, so he asked, "Then why are we going...?"

Ye Suijin tapped on the map: "Of course it's to take over the river mouth!"

"Where the Zhishui and Hanshui rivers converge, and with mountains opposite, it forms a gorge. It is suitable for stationing troops." Ye Suijin said, "If we take this place, we can look south."

Where is south?

Everyone's eyes followed Ye Suijin's finger to move over.

But that finger suddenly moved again, sliding northwest for a while, stopping on the place name "Fangling".

"I also need to see someone..." Ye Suijin said, "important."

Who?

It was just said that Zhao Jingwen was going to marry the Pei family's daughter.

This was the resentment of stealing a husband.

So she couldn't swallow this anger, and wanted to see the Pei family's daughter, right?

Right?

Everyone thought so.

Only Mr. Yang squinted, staring at the map.

Er Bao's few guards at the river mouth, helping to cover up Er Bao's disappearance, no one discovered that Er Bao was gone after all.

Those few were also curious about exactly what mission Er Bao was executing, and couldn't help gathering together to make wild guesses.

On this day, someone finally muttered: "Don't know when Er Bao will come back? Will he come back or not?"

They had also been away from home for several months, and to tell the truth, they were all a little homesick.

Right after muttering, a local from the river mouth town ran over in a panic to report: "General! General! This is bad! A lot came! A lot of..."

A lot of what?

"A lot of troops!" the local panted.

The squad leaders looked at each other, none quite believing it.

"Where are the scouts?"

"Where are the sentries?"

"How could there be no movement at all?"

This was impossible. If they encountered a raid, one or two of them would have died, it was impossible for all of them to suddenly die. It was impossible for none of them to send a warning.

One of the squad leaders was Er Bao's companion, knowing about Er Bao's matter. He suddenly had a thought, and asked: "Could you see the banners? What was written on them?"

The local said: "It was written with a big character, I don't recognize it. I can't read!"

The captain casually picked up a tree branch and wrote a character in the dirt at his feet, asking: "Is it this character?"

The local took a look: "Very similar. It seems to be it."

The squad leaders ran out: "Assemble! Assemble!"

The local was confused.

Hearing the assembly order, everyone hurriedly gathered to line up, when they suddenly heard the fierce sound of galloping horses, it was their own scout: "Assemble! Line up! The master is here! The master is here!"

The crowd buzzed for a few breaths, and everyone's pace suddenly accelerated, quickly lining up neatly.

These were naturally Ye Family Barracks troops.

But there were still some who were recruited later left at the river mouth, so they were completely puzzled. Although they followed to line up too, they couldn't help but whisper to each other: "Who is it? Which master?"

The new recruits were really lacking. The squad leader was exasperated: "Quiet! The master is about to arrive!"

The bold ones asked: "Captain, whose master is it?"

"Whose? Of course it's ours!" The squad leader said, "Our master, the Military Governor of the Ye Family of Deng Prefecture!"

The sounds of hooves and footsteps drew near.

Everyone fell silent, looking in that direction.

There were many rivers at the river mouth, and the water vapor was heavy, often foggy. Especially at this time, looking into the distance, the fog in the distance was misty, seeming like a fairyland.

The banners appeared in sight first.

The sturdy and agile horse of the standard bearer stepped out of the fog.

The banner was the same style as Zhao Langjun's banner, but bigger, and the embroidery was more exquisite.

But the character in the middle was different, a big "Ye" character.

Deng Prefecture, Ye Family Army.

Every Ye Family soldier at the river mouth tensed up, trying their best to stand up straighter.

But their eyes kept staring over there.

The locals also watched from afar.

The hoofbeats shattered the morning fog, crisp and clear.

Two rows of banners followed closely behind the standard bearer, fluttering in the wind.

A robust horse burst out of the fog, a heroic woman in military attire.

More hoofbeats trampled the morning fog, surging into everyone's sight.

The sound of hoofbeats striking the ground stimulated everyone's eardrums. Young generals with killing intent.

The long formation marched neatly, carrying spears, bows, shields, and sabers on their backs.

Footsteps trampling the heartbeat.

Not to mention these newly recruited people, even the Ye Family soldiers at the river mouth were stunned.

The banners, the uniforms, were clearly their own people. But how were they so unfamiliar. Clearly they had only been apart for a few months, how could the family have changed so much.

In the heroic aura, no one even noticed the woman's beauty anymore.

In the face of power, what was beauty worth.

Ye Suijin's horse snorted.

She reined in the horse, scrutinizing the neatly lined soldiers.

With her eyes, she could still discern which were the Ye Family troops, and which were the newly recruited.

The Ye Family troops were not negligent, and the new recruits also had formed up.

Zhao Jingwen was a halfway monk, and yet he had achieved this much. He was qualified.

Ye Suijin nodded slightly.

"Ye family army," she gathered her breath and ordered, "Fall----in!"

The flag bearer signaled with the flags.

The Ye family army at the river mouth began to move.

The formation changed, positions shifted, and in a moment, they split from the newly incorporated troops, forming two square formations.

The Ye family army at the river mouth had fallen in.

The newly incorporated troops were confused.

The nearby observing commoners were also confused.

Ye Suijin's horse slowly moved forward, circling around.

Everyone held their breaths, listening to her announce:

"From today onward--the land of River Mouth shall be the territory of the Ye Family of Deng Prefecture."

"All of you, remain calm."

...

The camp was busy.

The newly arrived Ye family army had taken over all the defense works and was rearranging the defenses.

The new soldiers were nervous, whispering to each other. They also cast envious glances at the newly arrived Ye family army.

It was visible to the naked eye that the clothing and armor of the newly arrived Ye family army were better than those of the Ye family army at River Mouth. It was clear that the treatment at Deng Prefecture was very good.

"They'll recruit us too, right?"

"They should, right? Otherwise why drill us for so many days? Wasting rations for nothing?"

Fifth Son Ye entered the military tent: "Sister Six, the defenses have all been changed."

Ye Suijin was speaking with some captains of the River Mouth Ye family army. She said, "Come over and listen together."

Duan Jin also came in and crowded over.

They were actually discussing the terrain here and the nearby powers.

Duan Jin surreptitiously kicked Fifth Son Ye.

Fifth Son Ye understood. As the younger brother, the brother-in-law, he was in a better position to speak up.

When Ye Suijin paused, he asked: "Sister, we've taken over River Mouth too. When do we go to Fangling?"

As he spoke, he cracked his knuckles.

Crack crack.

The few captains of the River Mouth Ye family army hunched their necks like quails.

They were at River Mouth, yet they hadn't known that Zhao Langjun was going to stop being married and take another wife. It was only when the adults had personally come to kill that they realized what was happening.

They didn't even dare to lift their heads.

They felt that if Fifth Young Master couldn't immediately beat up Zhao Jingwen, this anger would be taken out on them.

Young Master Duan's gaze was also like blades, ready to hack people.

"No rush. Isn't Zhao Jingwen's big wedding day on the twentieth of the third month? There's still time." Ye Suijin studied the map intently.

"Zhao Jingwen is unimportant," her finger fell on the map, pointing: "Let's take Gu City first while we have the time."

"After all, we've already come."
