Even if Zheng Xuan didn't want to get on the ship again, he couldn't stand the persecution of Lu Ren and Zhao Yu, so he had no choice but to board the ship. Fortunately, Mr. Zheng can be regarded as a person who grew up by the sea, and he is accustomed to the wind and waves of the boat, otherwise at his age, he had been in the car for so long before, and then suddenly turned to the sea boat, and there would be ghosts if he didn't spit out a few words.

Hundreds of people rode ashore on the ship, and Lu Ren held a telescope at the stern of the boat for a while before relieving himself and turning back to the cabin. As soon as he saw Old Man Zheng's face, and saw Old Man Zheng blowing his beard and glaring at him, Lu Ren smiled helplessly, and said after bowing to him: "Old Man Zheng, if you want to scold me, scold me." ”

"You, you ......"

Old Man Zheng pointed to Lu Renlao for a long time, but he couldn't say a word. Old Man Zheng is a real cultural person, and he really can't scold those scolding words. After another long time, Old Man Zheng finally squeezed out a sentence: "Where is Lu Servant going to send the old man again?" Are you going to send the old man to Xudu? ”

Not only Zheng Xuan, but even Zhao Yun and Zhao Yu thought that Lu Ren would nod and admit that after all, Lu Ren's official status was there, and it seemed that apart from Xuchang, this old man Zheng seemed to have nowhere else to send.

But to their surprise, Lu Ren shook his head after being silent for a long time: "If it is common sense, and my current official status, I should send you, Mr. Zheng, to Xuchang." But here I will tell you the truth, if I really did that, what is the difference between me and Yuan Shao? ”

Zheng Xuan and the Zhao brothers and sisters were stunned together, and they all looked at Lu Ren in confusion. Looking at Lu Ren again, he sighed, still shook his head lightly and said: "The reason is very simple, Yuan Shao forced Mr. Zheng to join the army, in order to give him Yuan Shao's long face and add some prestige. But if I send Mr. Zheng to Xuchang, Lao Cao will probably do the same thing as Yuan Shao. These two people are the same heroes in the world. But whatever is good for them, there is nothing they can't do. That's why I said that if I send Mr. Zheng to Xuchang, there will be no difference between you and Yuan Shao, and it will only hurt you the same Mr. Zheng. ”

Zheng Xuanhuo is true, but deep in his heart, why don't he want to be able to protect his name without endangering his family? It's just that you couldn't have it both ways. Now that he has been on the road for a while, Zheng Xuan's anger has faded a lot, and seeing that Lu Ren said such things at this moment, his original good impression of Lu Ren has also resurfaced. And deep in his heart, he sincerely hopes that Lu Ren can come up with some way to get the best of both worlds.

And Lu Ren did not disappoint Zheng Xuan. After all these years, if Lu Ren couldn't even think of this, then he could really turn around and jump from the boat into the sea. After looking at Lu Ren for a pause, he said to Zheng Xuan very sincerely: "Mr. Zheng, although I was offended before, I really wanted to save you, and I didn't want to harm your family, so I asked General Zhao to come forward." In the name of the remnants of General Gongsun, the White Horse Righteous Servant, he robbed you here.

"After arriving in Xuzhou, please take a moment of hiding incognito, I will wait here for some things to be prepared, and I will send Mr. Zheng to a peaceful and undisturbed place. You can go to the classics of history in peace there. As for your family, I don't dare to say that they can be rescued all, but how much can be saved, and I will send them to you in the future. ”

Zheng Xuan hesitated. asked: "In today's troubled times, where is there any peace and tranquility in this world?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Of course there is, it's just not so easy to find...... Let's put it this way. If I say it now, Mr. Zheng, you probably won't believe it, then I can only say that I will send you to my hometown of Jiangdong Wu County first. Although it is not a peaceful and undisturbed place, compared to the current situation, there is no war for the time being. ”

Zheng Xuan lowered his head, pondered for a while, and then responded, "Jiangdong Wu County...... Indeed, it is a relatively peaceful place, and I have been there in the early years of study tours. Anyway, the old man can't help himself now, so everything will be arranged according to Lu Servant's arrangement. But how are you going to rescue the old man's family, disciples, and neighbors? ”

Lu Ren didn't have time to speak, but Zhao Yu said impatiently: "You old man is really annoying enough, Lu Servant has actually arranged it a long time ago." The people we sent to your village to spread the news deliberately led everyone to Xuzhou......"

"Light rain!" Zhao Yun glared at Zhao Yu fiercely.

Lu Ren picked up the words on the side and said: "It is inevitable that Cao Yuan will fight each other, and the people that the Yuan family wants to kill, of course the Cao family will take them in, which can be regarded as acting according to common sense, and no one will doubt it." I am now the assassin of Xuzhou, and it is very convenient to take in the people who have fled. When the time comes, I will find a way to let Mr. Zheng meet with your cronies, and then you can go to Wu County. ”

Zheng Xuan nodded lightly after another period of silence and said, "It can only be like this......"

――――――――――――――――――――

It was getting late, and everyone who should have rested had already rested, and Lu Ren chatted with Zhao Yu at the bow of the boat and returned to his cabin, and after making sure that there was no one around, he blew out the lights, and then sat on the edge of the window with a wide coat, and made a ghost by the bright moon and moonlight shining in from the window.

Looking at Lu Ren a few times in his arms, he took out a pistol...... Not a pistol in the modern sense, but a musket popular in the sixteenth century during the European Voyage.

Then he took out a bag of gunpowder powder and fine iron sand from the large pillow, and then removed a ramming rod from the outside of the scabbard, and then carefully stuffed the gunpowder into the chamber of the gun and tamped it and then put in the iron sand, and then smashed a paper ball on the outside of the iron sand to prevent the iron sand from leaking out......

While doing these things, Lu Ren also looked at the hatch vigilantly, for fear that someone would suddenly come to visit at this time, and his affairs would be exposed. During the day, he did not dare to do it because he was afraid that someone would suddenly come to his tent to visit him, so he had to wait until night to do these things.

After loading the bullet, Lu Ren looked at it with a gesture, shook his head lightly and said secretly: "The power of this thing is okay, but it is too troublesome to load." I made two of them, but at best I could only shoot them twice. I didn't dare to carry gunpowder and iron sand with me...... No way, with the current point of productivity, it is already good to be able to make these two. It is better to use less as a last resort. ”

The steel craftsmanship of the late Han Dynasty was originally not up to the requirements of making this kind of musket, but when Lu Ren was in Meng Village before, he had spent a lot of effort to ask craftsmen to make a batch of high-quality steel for him, and even a small amount of tungsten alloy swords. During the Battle of Xuzhou, Lu Ren's sword had been hard against Lu Bu's crazy halberd but did not break, but it was just knocked out of his hand. Therefore, although it took a lot of effort to make these two muskets, they still made a qualified product. Of course, when Lu Ren secretly tested it, there were several blow-ups.

In contrast, it was much easier to prepare gunpowder. The business environment in Xuchang is good, and things such as Liuhuang and saltpeter can be bought in pharmacies. And with Lu Ren's identity, no one is suspicious of buying a lot of medicines.

Looking at the musket in his hand, Lu Ren's mind suddenly had such a picture-

In front of the two armies, Lu Ren launched a provocation against Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao was furious and did not intend to let Lu Ren go, and suddenly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Generals, who will take off his head with me!?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a general in the Yuan army's array came out on horseback and chased after Lu Ren. Because Lu Ren is on foot, he will come to the horse, and he will soon catch up with Lu Ren, but Lu Ren is still facing away from the comer!

Seeing this, Cao Jun shouted in unison: "Be careful of the plot behind your back!" ”

And in the shouting, Zhang Liao came out and prepared to block the people who came to save Lu Ren.

What about Lu Ren? Suddenly, he turned around, with a gloomy sneer on his face: "If I didn't use the 'Dao Method', did I really think I was a bully?" ”

The horses that came to the general were fast, fifty, forty, and thirty steps away from Lu Ren...... The spear over there had been raised, but Lu Ren had never moved, and he hadn't even drawn the long sword that had been inserted back into the sheath! Seeing that the future was getting closer and closer, Zhang Liao had no time to rush over, and when everyone in Cao Ying was pinching a cold sweat for Lu Ren, Lu Ren slowly raised his right arm and pointed to the front chest of the coming general, but his left hand pinched a sword trick......

Bang -

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound on the battlefield that almost everyone had never heard. It's just that at the same time as this sound sounded, the war horse of the coming general was so frightened by this sound that it stood upright, and the war general on his back fell off the horse!

Zhang Liao had just arrived at this time, and he looked at Lu Ren in astonishment and slowly lowered his hand. A few steps forward and looked at the general of the Yuan army lying on the ground, Zhang Liao, a general who had been on the battlefield for more than ten years, was shocked by a chill down his spine - looking closely at the general, there were five or six small holes in the armor on his chest that were bleeding, and the area of his face and throat was already blurred with flesh and blood, and the person had already died!

"Lu, Lu servant, this, this is ......"

Lu Ren's hands were inserted into the wide sleeves, and it seemed that he was pushing his arms, and he replied casually: "My secret technique of protecting my body...... But my right arm won't be able to use it for three days. ”

As he spoke, Lu Ren's right arm had slackened, and it seemed that he could no longer lift it, so Zhang Liao saw this and slowly retreated behind Lu Ren, escorting Lu Ren back to the formation.

After a while, Lu Ren walked back in front of Cao Cao and the generals, who should have bowed with both hands, but now Lu Ren only reluctantly raised his left hand and saluted Cao Cao on the horse, and sighed lightly: "Please forgive Cao Gong." Lu Ren was greedy for merit, and he lost his self-control for a while, and he was afraid that he had violated military regulations. Hope that Cao Gong will surrender, and Lu Ren will accept it......"
