Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Chapter 236

"How about this, Madam, you leave first. I will send you to a safe place and then come back to check the situation." Dongju took a step back.

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Ye Xi knew that she had no kung fu skills and could not drag others down, so she quickly supported Xia Mu, whose legs were weak, and walked out together.

Dongju picked up his sword and led the way.

As expected, there were not many rebels besieging the side courtyard. Their main targets were Wei Yuan and Wei Ye, and women were basically not within their range of capture.

Dongju held a sword and fought with one or two rebels who came to search. After a few moves, she killed them, but she was also slightly injured.

Seeing this, Ye Xi let Xia Mu walk by himself and went over to support the injured Dong Ju.

The three of them stumbled and tried to go out through the back door, but were surrounded by a group of rebels who had been guarding there.

The three people were dragged towards the main house like chickens.

As Ye Xi was dragged along, he saw the bodies of the guards lying on the ground in various places. His face turned pale and his body couldn't help shaking.

It was the first time she faced bloody corpses, and among them she saw familiar faces.

The person who greeted her in the morning was now lying quietly on the ground, separated from her forever.

The pervasive smell of death foreshadowed the predicament she was about to face.

She never thought that she would be involved in such things in her life. She thought it was just the birth, aging, sickness and death of ordinary people.

As soon as he was taken into the main house, Ye Xi saw Wei Yuan, Yao Yusu and Wei Ye who were surrounded.

Wei Yuan was injured, his clothes were torn in many places and bleeding, and his hands were tied.

Yao Yushu and Wei Ye's hands were also tied, and both of them were sobbing.

Perhaps because they disliked the noise, their mouths were stuffed with cloth.

Ye Xi and the other two also had their hands and feet tied, and their mouths were then stuffed with cloth.

There were no other familiar faces in the room except them. I wonder if all the guards around Wei Yuan were dead.

After waiting for a long time, they heard someone greeting them, and then a tall figure appeared in front of them.

He was a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes, about forty years old, with a handsome and resolute face, and more majestic than Wei Yuan.

"Your Majesty has been wronged. Come, please find a seat for You, Your Majesty." the visitor shouted.

Then someone quickly brought a chair and helped Wei Yuan, whose hands were tied, to sit down.

Wei Yuan was not gagged. He took his seat and said calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of my old bones."

The Third Prince is the leader of this rebellion.

“Originally, I did not want to embarrass the Duke, but your good grandson ruined my plan.

This king was unwilling to give in and wanted to kill you as soon as possible, but someone suggested that there was a secret treasure in the Duke's Mansion that could help me make a comeback.

So I felt compassion and thought that if the Duke knew what was happening and handed over the treasure, I would let you go."

There was a chill in the Third Prince's words, implying that if he did not know how to handle the current situation, he would probably die here.

"I wonder what the secret treasure that the prince is talking about is?" Wei Yuan asked calmly.

"Apart from the treasures of the previous dynasty, what else can help me make a comeback? Duke, please don't play dumb.

You only have one life. If you help me achieve my great cause, you will still be the Duke in the future."

The Third Prince's expression became somewhat ferocious at this moment, and he glanced at Wei Yuan sideways, as if the other party was very ungrateful.

Seeing the other party like this, Ye Xi felt that even if Wei Yuan handed over what they wanted, he would probably die.
