Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Chapter 227 Ye Lingche leads the rebels to besiege the city

"Hard to say."

The speed of transmitting information is too slow now, and it will take a long time for them to receive news from other garrison troops.

After Cangmi finds the people from Yichun Pavilion in the Barbarian Country and eliminates Gongchang's influence in the Barbarian Country, Bai Sui'an will leave.

She still had to resolve the hidden dangers here, and then go find Ye Lingche.

"Is there anything else to do?" Ye Lingchi asked.

Bai Sui'an looked up in surprise, and saw the other party's hearty smile: "Everyone in the barracks is fine now. You don't have to bear the consequences alone. Leave it to me.

Are you thinking about Xiao Che?"

After the wedding ceremony, Bai Sui'an admitted frankly: "Well, the situation in the west is also very serious. I'm worried that something might happen to him."

"Xiao Che may seem easy to bully in front of you, but he is also a member of the royal family. I personally taught him the ways of survival. He is not bad and will definitely not get into trouble."

Bai Sui'an chuckled: "I hope so."

"When do you plan to leave?"

"Ok?"

Ye Lingchi: "Didn't I tell you? Tell me what you need to do, and I'll arrange for someone to do it for you. With so many soldiers here, there's no reason to always rely on a little girl."

"Okay." Bai Sui'an and Ye Lingchi returned to their previous tent and told each other what they planned to do.

Including the coordination with Jin Fuxuan, Cang Mi and Jin Fuxuan were all in the Barbarian Country. Cang Mi was responsible for clearing out the remnants of Yichun Pavilion, while Jin Fuxuan led people to ambush the Barbarian Country reinforcements.

Bai Sui'an only assigned them tasks, and they arranged the specific actions themselves. Now Ye Lingchi just needed to provide assistance when they needed help.

As for the children, Bai Sui'an wanted to leave them in the military camp, but they were unwilling.

I can only pack it up and take it away.

The whole family was quite anxious. If Ye Lingchi hadn't stopped them, they would have wanted to leave after dinner.

Now they decided to leave after dawn tomorrow, as the tiger would attract attention. Bai Sui'an planned to feed Chang'an spiritual spring water before entering the city, and then go to the city to buy a carriage to set off.

As night fell, Bai Sui'an took the children to bed.

Not long after the purchase, uninvited guests came to the military camp.

Ye Lingchi rushed to the tent where Bai Sui'an and the others were resting and woke them up.

Bai Sui'an wrapped himself in his coat and went out: "What's the matter?"

"My father-in-law sent someone to deliver the news that the imperial city is under siege!"

"Who surrounded them?"

"Everyone is saying that Xiao Che colluded with the generals and took advantage of His Majesty's serious illness to start a rebellion. Now, no one in the imperial city can leave the city, and no one is allowed to enter."

Ye Lingchi had already had an idea.

"If I leave with my troops, I'm afraid I'll also be charged with treason. The most urgent thing is for you and the secret guards to rush back and have them check on our father. You find a chance to find Xiao Che. He must have been coerced. He has the solution to this situation. It's up to you to decide how to handle it."

Bai Sui'an asked, "There has to be a winner in this matter. I don't know the relationship between you royal children. First, tell me, who is your competitor for the throne?"

Her question stumped Ye Lingchi.

After thinking for a long time, Ye Lingchi shook his head and said, "I was made the Crown Prince after I was born. The brothers in the palace have no bad relationship with me. In fact, they are more inclined towards me. But if I have to say, the only one who can compete with me in status, position and reputation is the concubine's child, the fourth prince Ye Lingzhuo."

Bai Sui'an remembered that Ye Lingche had mentioned this name to him, saying that the person His Majesty valued most now was Ye Lingzhuo.

"I understand. I'll ride away now." Bai Sui'an's eyes fell on the tent behind him and said, "I'm not taking them with me."

Ye Lingchi nodded: "There are dangers everywhere over there, it's better not to take them away."

When I entered the tent, I saw three children standing in a row. I guess they heard the conversation outside just now.

No one wanted to go with Bai Sui'an.

Lin Rongle took her sister's hand and said, "Mom, we will protect your sister. When you bring Dad home, we can be reunited."

Chang An walked around Bai Sui'an twice, feeling reluctant to leave.

Without spending much time with them, Bai Sui'an was about to leave. She pinched the children's faces and said, "When we get home, Mom will take you to the restaurant for dinner every day. We'll eat until we're fat and plump."

It was unrealistic to ask Bai Sui'an to lead the troops there, so Ye Lingchi suggested that she go to several towns around the imperial city to seek help from the garrison troops.

But the border is too far away from the imperial city, and no one can guarantee what the situation in the imperial city will be like when Bai Sui'an rushes there. Ye Lingchi can only try his best to tell Bai Sui'an more ways to deal with the situation.

It took half a month for Bai Sui'an to ride at full speed all the way to the outskirts of the imperial city.

When traveling, whenever he felt tired, he would take his horse into the space to rest. Whenever he arrived at a crowded place, he would try his best to inquire about the movements in the imperial city.

I heard that the Fourth Prince Ye Lingzhuo led the Forbidden Forest Army to fight against the rebels. The surrounding troops have already gone to support them. However, the rebels have more soldiers and horses. Even if they cooperate with the rebels from inside and outside, it is difficult to gain any advantage from them.

Everyone said that Ye Lingche’s command was too great.

Everyone believed that Ye Lingche was rebelling.

The garrisons in other places had already set up camp outside the imperial city, fighting every now and then, resulting in heavy casualties.

Bai Sui'an was not in a hurry to recognize either party. After all, this matter seemed very strange to her.

This fight seems like a joke. No one outside seems to be worried. They are still leisurely eating delicious food.

The people standing guard in the imperial city were still yawning.

Moreover, the troops stationed in the city sent people out to gather information, not only to the imperial city, but also to investigate further behind, as if they were on guard against someone coming to support them.

The defense in the rear is even tighter than in the front.

Bai Sui'an had sent all the secret guards out to find a way to enter the imperial city, so he left three of them to follow Bai Sui'an to prevent the secret guards from going out to gather information and not being able to find anyone when they came back.

Bai Sui'an didn't want to just wait, so she also looked for Ye Lingche at the rebel camp.

The city gates were closed, and Bai Sui'an had no idea what was going on inside. However, the rebels had also arranged camps and garrisons outside the imperial city, so Bai Sui'an started from those places he could reach.

With so few people and good skills, it is not difficult to sneak into the camp and look for people.

But Bai Sui'an still left a secret guard outside. If she and the others had not returned within two hours, the secret guard outside would be responsible for igniting gunpowder outside the military camp to attract the attention of most people.

No matter what happens, it will reduce the vigilance of the people inside, and Bai Sui'an and others will be able to escape better.

Bai Sui'an and two secret guards sneaked in separately, with the goal of finding where Ye Lingche was. Once they found him, they didn't need to recognize him, they could just come out and unify the information.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't cause any complications.

But when Bai Sui'an sneaked in under the cover of night wearing night clothes, he actually heard someone humming the ballad of Tianxuan Kingdom in the camp.

The melody and singing style are the same as Bai Sui'an's memory, and the dialect is also used, which doesn't seem to be learned specially.

Bai Sui'an approached and found that there were other people around the person humming the ballad. They listened to him humming and joked in Tianxuan language whether the other person missed home.

"Oh, we'll be able to go home soon, and then the land beneath our feet will be home too."
