On March 16 of the twelfth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Yanru, who was anxious like an arrow, arrived at the mountain 'east of the Qing Dynasty, and entrusted Yu Guozhen's blessing, the water and the like that were rampant in the past along the way had already been exterminated, even if they were lucky enough to not die, they fled to a foreign land, so the trip was very smooth.

But when he arrived in Linqing, his boat was stopped.

"This is the ship of the old man Zhou of the former cabinet, and you dare to stop it?" There is no need for Zhou Yanru to come forward, and someone has come to reprimand.

"Former elder? Even the old man has to wait, no matter who it is, he is not allowed to sail at this time, and wait for the ship from the north to pass first! ”

"A ship from the north?" Zhou Yanru signaled, and suddenly someone went up to inquire.

"The wounded Tiger Guard came back by boat, do you think you should let it?" The water shut-off man said proudly.

"Tiger Guard wounded? A group of Qiu Ba dare to stop the master's boat? A cronie beside Zhou Yanru was furious: "Why don't you let them go?" ”

Zhou Yanru waved his hand: "Don't worry, don't worry...... Yu Jimin's soldiers, so they have done their best for the country, so what does it matter if the old man lets him go! ”

"The elder pavilion is really large, the so-called prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and he is talking about the elder pavilion!" Of course, there is a tide of rhetoric around, and Zhou Yanru must be used, only feeling that although he has not yet reappeared, he has already felt the majesty of the reappearance.

But then he remembered something that made him feel a little unhappy.

Before leaving Nanjing, Zhang Pu actually came to talk to him and said many words that made him extremely angry.

But he had to listen to this madness, even though he had been his teacher. The reason is simple. Zhang Pu is not wrong about one thing, the reason why he was able to recover is completely because Zhang Pu has been running around without fear of hardships and dangers in the past few years, and he has the cheekiness to borrow a sum of money from the boss.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yanru felt that it was necessary for him to see Yu Guozhen with his own eyes and see the famous Tiger Guard who moved the world.

He'd heard about it. When the news of the great victory in the Battle of Haihe reached Jinling, how did the nearly 1,000 people gathered in front of the Jinling Minsheng Express Hall be ecstatic. He knows that this is the will of the people!

If it's another general. Winning this kind of popular support is a curse rather than a blessing, such as Yue Wumu. But it was changed to Yu Guozhen......

Zhou Yanru scratched his head, Yu Guozhen is one of the most incomprehensible people in the world, and he doesn't know if his old opponent Wen Tiren, who has swallowed his breath, can see through him.

Just as he hesitated, he saw ships coming from the north, all of which were coming from the north to transport the tiger guards who were injured and inconvenient, as well as the women, children, old and weak among the people, and they would be transported to Linqing, where they would be transferred to the land. Therefore. Zhou Yanru soon saw the tiger guard he wanted to see.

Groups of soldiers disembarked from the ship, their clothes and armor were dirty, but their aura was extremely high.

Zhou Yanru only glanced at this soldier, and felt that his temples were jumping suddenly!

Where are these soldiers, it is clearly a group of tigers and wolves! And it is the most ferocious and fierce tiger wolf!

"Twenty thousand...... Twenty thousand! ”

How many such soldiers are there in Xinxiang? It's not a secret to Zhang Pu, when he met Zhou Yanru, in order to let Zhou Yanru face up to the threat of Xinxiang, he also specifically said that there are more than 20,000 tiger guards, in Zhang Pu's mouth, if the Ming Dynasty no longer clamps down on Yu Guozhen. Let Yu Guozhen absorb the population from the Ming Dynasty, and in a few years, when Yu Guozhen has 100,000 soldiers in his hands, Yu Guozhen himself has no objection, and his subordinates will force him to rebel!

What's more, Yu Guozhen is simply unruly!

Zhou Yanru looked at it for a while, retracted into the cabin, and shook his head: he had only been away from the center of the imperial court for such a short time, and Yu Guozhen had actually pulled out 20,000 such sergeants!

They sat idly on the boat, and Zhou Yanru was anxious to go north, so in addition to the necessary servants on the ship, there were a few cronies and staff, and when they were bored, someone proposed to play chess. Zhou Yanru didn't have this thought, so he became a spectator, but halfway through a game of chess, he heard someone outside the boat: "Is this Zhou Ge Lao's boat?" ”

The person who spoke was very angry, Zhou Yanru's heart jumped suddenly, naturally someone went out to take a look, and then turned around and said, "It's a military man!" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Yanru nodded, since the other party said so, he must have known that he was on the boat, and he was timid at this time, just to provoke people to look down on him in vain.

The person who went out to see raised his voice and said, "It's Zhou Ge Lao here, what's the matter?" ”

"The master of the house, please see Zhou Gelao." The military man arched his hand and said, "Please also ask Elder Zhou Ge to move." ”

"Rude!"

Immediately, the person who received it was angry, what kind of person can the master of the army and Han be, Zhou Yanru entered Beijing this time, and he is about to recover, and he will be the first assistant of the cabinet, and he will be the governor of Shan'dong to see him, and he has to come to worship in person!

"The master's surname is Yu, and he is a Guozhen." Dahan said quietly.

As soon as these words came out, the receptionist was stunned, and Zhou Yanru in the boat was also moved.

He wanted to see Yu Guozhen, and sure enough!

"Master, you can't go!" A staff member next to him whispered: "Yu is so rude and domineering, if the master goes, he will be humiliated, and he must not go!" ”

Zhou Yanru glared at him, since Yu Guozhen opened his mouth to invite, how could he not be allowed to go?

He stood up, and when he saw that those staff members also wanted to follow, he waved his hand: "Nanhai Bo only invited the old man alone, you wait here!" ”

After coming out, seeing the man who came to invite him, Zhou Yanru sucked it again. Air conditioner: What a majestic man!

His heart moved, and he asked, "The strong man is surnamed Qi?" ”

"There is an old man from Lao Ge who asked, the villain is surnamed Qi, and the single name is a cow." Qi Niu replied angrily.

Zhou Yanru nodded, but he had a higher evaluation of Yu Guozhen in his heart.

Although it is difficult to recruit a big man like Qi Niu, it is not impossible, but it is not easy to make such a big man know how to be polite and polite! This can prove that Yu Guozhen's order and prohibition have a strong influence on his subordinates.

"I have heard of the reputation of the Mighty Bull Demon King beside Nanhai Bo, but I didn't expect to see it today, and he is really a good man who chooses one out of ten thousand!" Zhou Yanru praised first, and then asked, "I don't know what Nanhai Bo is calling for?" ”

"I know what I know." Qi Niu made an inviting gesture: "Please come here." ”

Yu Guozhen came here with the ship of the wounded soldiers, not because he wanted to be lazy. It's because he's sick.

On the third day after the end of the battle with Dorgon, he began to develop a fever, which was rare for him to be physically strong. Not only him, but the rate of illness among the tiger guards is as high as 20% - living in the warm environment of the south for a long time has made some tiger guards go to the north, and after nearly two months of hard fighting, they are extremely unwell!

So what Zhou Yanru saw was Yu Guozhen lying on the bed.

"It's not Yu's rudeness. It's really sick, and it is not suitable to blow the wind. Seeing Zhou Yanru coming here, Yu Guozhen put down the documents in his hand. smiled and bowed his hand to Zhou Yanru.

"Now the son is a super-grade earl, and the old man is still just a common people, and the son is called. It's not rude for the old man to come to see him. Zhou Yanru said.

"There is a message that I just received, so I invite Zhou Ge to come over." Yu Guozhen narrowed his eyes: "Zhang Tianru is dead." ”

Zhou Yanru's face was originally a group of harmony and joy, but when he heard Yu Guozhen's words, his beard suddenly exploded, not angry, but surprised!

"What?"

"Zhang Tianru died, died in Jinling three days ago, and the cause of death was said to be a violent pawn. But there are also people who say...... It was a sudden death after drinking with Wu Changshi. ”

Zhou Yanru looked at Yu Guozhen in a daze, he didn't believe what Yu Guozhen said!

"Yu ...... Nanhai Bo, you ...... You ......"

"I didn't do it, Zhang Tian is such a person. Ambition is big, but the means are weak, and he likes to show off, if he has no power and no power, he can still keep a lifetime safe, but if he is powerful. They will be envied...... Zhou Ge Lao suspected that I did it, but I suspected that Zhou Ge Lao did it. ”

"How is this possible, Tianru is my student, and he has helped me a lot, how am I, how am I ......?"

Zhou Yanru said this, but he couldn't say anything anymore, because he saw Yu Guozhen who was sick, and at this moment he showed a strong killing intent!

"Zhang Tianru once handed Zhou Ge Lao a booklet before sending Zhou Ge Lao away." Yu Guozhen saw that Zhou Yanru didn't speak, so he said slowly: "That booklet, can you borrow it from me?" ”

"What if...... The old man said he couldn't? ”

"Zhou Ge said that he couldn't, then Yu wouldn't look at it." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "If you don't look at Yu, you know that in Zhang Tianru's booklet, Yu must be ranked first in one of them." ”

Zhou Yanru's lips squirmed, not knowing what to say.

"Zhang Tianru must have also said to Zhou Ge Lao, I have already obtained the position of Changjiang County Commander for Wan Shihua, I have an appointment with Zhang Tianru, Changjiang is a place, and the court will ignore it within three years - he relayed this to Zhou Ge Lao, right?"

"It is true."

"Although Zhang Tianru is dead, I hope this agreement is still valid, as long as this agreement is valid, Zhou Ge Lao has been old in Taiping Pavilion for the past three years, and I Yu can still guarantee that naturally, unless Jianyu or Liukou makes trouble again - by the way, speaking of Liukou, I just received the news that the thief is in Gucheng again."

"Shhh Zhou Yanru gasped. Air conditioning.

"In addition, there are many doubts about the death of Huang Taiji, and I suspect that Dolgon, Abatai and others joined forces to get rid of it, saying that it was because of Hauge's death that they were overwhelmed - Dolgon is afraid that he is about to take over the power of Jianju. Dolgon is young, and the rest will be difficult to be stable, so he has to intrude on the defense of the Ming Dynasty and Gyeonggi, and ask Zhou Ge Lao to pay more attention. ”

Zhou Yanru didn't know what to say for a while.

"Yu is sick, so he won't stay in the old age, so as not to be infected by illness. Old Niu, send the old pavilion for me. ”

Zhou Yanru was sent away like this, he returned to the boat, he was still a little depressed, the pamphlet in his sleeve fell to the ground, and was picked up by the staff, he patted his head and said: "Die well, die well!" ”

"Who did the elder say died well?"

"Zhang Pu, Zhang Tianru, he actually asked me to deal with such a character...... Such a character, even if Zhang Taiyue is reincarnated, he may not be able to deal with it! As he spoke, he opened the pamphlet, and on both sides of the pamphlet were dense names of men, one in red and the other in black. Zhou Yanru pointed to the red side: "This is the person who wants me to promote, and the black one is the person who wants me to kill the derogatory person - Nanhai Bo is at the first place on the black list, haha...... You want me to deal with Nanhai Bo! ”

Zhou Yanru laughed hoarsely twice, he made up his mind in his heart, even if Chongzhen wanted to deal with Yu Guozhen, he must pretend to be deaf and dumb and not ask about this matter!
