Chapter 696: Marquis, We’re Here!

Bai Yi was very astonished.

He hurriedly walked to his study.

The imperial edict on the shelf was gone.

He turned to Ye Siming’s room and saw that it was so neat that it looked like no one had lived in it before.

He almost hadn’t brought any clothes from his wardrobe.

He seemed to have only taken the sword that Bai Yi had given him.

After a while, the attendant in the front courtyard also ran over in a panic. “Master, bad news! The warhorse has disappeared too!”

At this moment, Ye Siming was riding a warhorse and had met up with Censor Zhang at the city gate.

Lord Zhang was a little surprised to see Ye Siming.

He looked behind the youth and asked suspiciously, “Marquis, why did you come alone? Where’s General Bai?”

“His wife is very sick. I asked him to stay and take care of her. I’ll go with you on this trip.”

The youth sat on the back of a horse, his black hair neatly tied up in a golden headgear.

At this moment, his raised eyes were filled with a hint of laziness and arrogance.

When Lord Zhang heard this, he was slightly surprised.

Then, he said with a troubled expression, “Marquis, I’m afraid this isn’t appropriate. Apart from sending disaster relief to Ning’an Village to save the people, we also need to borrow General Bail s military strength to intimidate them.”

Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “With me around, are you still afraid that someone will escape?”

Lord Zhang laughed dryly and didn’t say anything.

However, the answer in his heart was obvious.

Was there a need to ask?

How could the two of them alone restrain thousands of commoners?!

When people were sick, they would feel flustered and afraid.

These people didn’t have a sense of security and might cause a riot.

Lord Zhang didn’t say it explicitly, but Ye Siming seemed to have seen through his thoughts.

The youth sneered and narrowed his eyes to look into the distance. “You’re really troublesome.”

At this moment, Lord Zhang heard the sound of many horse hooves approaching.

Under the light of the morning sun, a group of soldiers on horses ran over from the other side of the street.

The person in the lead was Qin Song. As he rode his horse, he shouted, “Marquis, we’re here!”

Lord Zhang was surprised. “This is… Marquis’s soldiers?”

“That’s right,” Ye Siming replied casually.

The youth said in a lazy tone, “I told Qin Song in the middle of the night. I didn’t expect him to be able to gather the team so quickly. I’ve underestimated him.”

When Qin Song ran closer with his men, he got off the horse and cupped his fists to report to Ye Siming, “This time, I brought a total of more than 300 soldiers who had volunteered to follow the marquis to save the people!” Ye Siming looked up at the crowd.

“I heard that the place we’re going to this time is dangerous. It’s not that the people there are bad, but that the epidemic spreads very quickly. At the moment, there’s no prescription that can cure it.

“If any of you regrets the decision, turn around and leave now. I won’t blame you.

“However, after we go there, if anyone dares to desert and surrender at the last minute, I’ll punish them according to the military rules. I won’t show any mercy.”

After he finished speaking, none of the soldiers backed off.

Ye Siming raised his eyebrows and flicked his whip. “Alright, let’s set off now.

Let’s hurry up there and come back quickly.”

After saying that, he rode ahead and left.

Everyone hurriedly spurred their horses and caught up to Ye Siming.

Lord Zhang quickly got into his carriage and instructed the coachman, “Hurry up and follow!”

Along the way, the cold northern wind blew the hair on the youth’s forehead slightly.

He reached out and took out a small hard object.

It was a seal.

That was something Gu Nuo’er had given him.

On this trip, Ye Siming only brought along a sword, a horse, and two sets of clothes.

However, the one most precious item that he kept close to him was still this small seal.

He had set off without informing Gu Nuo’er this time because there wasn’t enough time..
