With the help of the bright moonlight, Zhu Youzhen and Sun Chuanting watched intently, and found that Rui'er had an extra golden token in his hand, with several ancient seal characters cast on the front, but a five-clawed golden dragon walking between the auspicious clouds on the reverse.

Zhu Youzhen didn't recognize the seal characters, so he had to look at Sun Chuanting for help.

"Your Majesty!" Sun Chuanting was immediately shocked, immediately knelt down, and bowed three times and nine times to this token!

"Wait, what does that mean?" Zhu Youzhen was a little confused by the second monk.

Sun Chuanting got up slowly, and then said in surprise: "Your Highness, the seal on this token is 'If I am here'." This is the token of today's Holy Grace! With this token, it's like having a holy decree, and no matter what you do, you can get it unimpeded! ”

Zhu Youzhen was also overjoyed when he heard this: "That's a good dare!" Rui'er, how can you have such a treasure? ”

Rui'er said embarrassedly: "The prince will use it." ”

Sun Chuanting is a very smart person, seeing that Rui'er didn't want to say it in front of him, he knew that he still had hidden secrets, so he immediately said: "Your Highness, if Chuanting goes to He Renlong with a token in hand, he will definitely be able to move to rescue the soldiers." ”

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly handed him the token, Sun Chuanting carefully put it away, and then took his leave and walked towards the Yellow River.

After Sun Chuanting left, Zhu Youzhen still asked about the origin of the token. Rui'er turned red and said: "This token was given to the queen by Banzai, and the queen secretly gave it to Rui'er." Before leaving, the queen told her not to use this token until the last resort. Rui'er doesn't know if it's a last resort, and she is still a little apprehensive in her heart! ”

"Yes, of course!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly smiled, "The thieves are attacking the city, this is a major event involving the lives of thousands of people!" Rui'er, the queen is so good to you! ”

"Actually, the queen is really good to the prince!" Rui'er said faintly, "Lord, didn't you see Rui'er's heartbroken look when she said goodbye to the queen!" She also said that if there is news about the prince, she must be reported to her as soon as possible. Rui'er is now disobeying! ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, remembering that the night before he was about to leave Beijing, he secretly met with the queen in the Fengxian Palace. How can the queen's gift to be easily forgotten?

He hurriedly shook his head desperately, drove some dirty thoughts out of his mind, and said after he settled down: "Mr. Sun has gone to move the rescue soldiers, let's not be idle!" Let's sneak up and see if we can clean up the thieves!" ”

"Lord Wang, by all means!" Rui'er hurriedly stopped, "There are many thieves, and although Rui'er knows some martial arts, it is difficult to protect the prince's safety." If the prince has a mistake, Rui'er is really guilty and deserves death! ”

As she spoke, Rui'er thought of the turbulent waves that Zhu Youzhen had experienced in the past few months, and couldn't help but shed tears in distress.

Zhu Youzhen was also moved, and wiped away her tears with a busy smile: "Rui'er, don't worry, let's just follow secretly, and we are not going to fight with thieves, what is the danger?" If the situation is not good, let's just run. Anyway, the thieves don't have a few horses, they definitely can't catch up with us, we call it invincible, hehehehe. ”

At Zhu Youzhen's insistence, Rui'er had no choice but to follow the route of the thieves with him and chase all the way north.

After walking for more than ten miles, I suddenly saw the fire in front of me, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

"Oops! The thieves have begun to attack the city! Zhu Youzhen's face turned cold and he sped up.

Turning a mountain beam, the city wall of Ruicheng County appeared not far ahead. Zhu Youzhen looked at it, but he couldn't help but be so angry that his chest was about to burst!

It turned out that the thieves had gathered near the south gate, and set fire to all the dozen or so houses outside the city, and the sky-high flames came from here.

What's even more outrageous is that they drove out all the people in those houses, and all the men were beheaded, but the women were stripped naked, and pushed to the front of the gate, from the old women in their fifties and sixties to the girls in their sixties and sevens, none of them were spared!

On the city wall, I only saw a few soldiers with frightened faces and a man in official uniform, answering the bandit leaders under the city in the air.

Seeing this scene, Rui'er's face turned pale with anger, and she said hatefully: "These thieves have really lost their conscience! ”

The two of them secretly marched forward again, until they were a few dozen paces away from the bandwagon, and then hid in a wood, where they could clearly hear the conversation in front of the formation. However, the vigilance and combat experience of that gang of thieves were too far behind those of the Jurchens, and there were no fixed or mobile posts, and their backs were completely exposed to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen listened attentively, only to hear the official at the head of the city shouting in a trembling voice: "The next official is Li Fengyuan, the commander of Ruicheng County!" Where are the heroes in the city, and why did you come to Ruicheng County? ”

A bandit leader under the city was shirtless, revealing his knotted muscles and flesh, and laughed loudly: "Li County Order, in the lower non-sticky mud, led the brothers to Taiyuan to play, passing by the precious land, his mouth was dry, and he wanted to go into the city to ask for a cup of tea. I don't want you to have people here who don't know how to be hospitable, so they dare to close the door and thank customers. The brothers were so angry that they killed a few people and burned down a few houses. Since you are a county magistrate, you should know how to count etiquette. If you send three thousand stone of grain and ten thousand taels of silver, and five hundred young men and women out of the city, the brothers will immediately withdraw. Otherwise, once the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left! ”

"Well... Hero..."Li Fengyuan was terrified when he heard this, and just said something in a trembling voice, one of his subordinates who was not sticky shouted: "What a good man Lai Han, this is the king of my family!" ”

"Big... My lord, now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, and there is really no food in the city! Li Fengyuan said tremblingly, "The county can let the people make up some of the silver, but they can't make up 10,000 taels in a hurry, can you give 3,000 taels first?" As for boys and girls, who can give up..."

"You're shameless!" The non-sticky mud sneered and said, "Three thousand taels? There are so many brothers in this king, and each of them can't share five taels of silver, should you send them to ask for food? ”

"That's all there is to it!" Li Fengyuan said with a bitter face.

"Since you want to be an iron rooster who doesn't pull out a hair," said Dumbmud angrily, "brothers, give me a siege!" ”

As soon as he gave the order, thousands of thieves shouted loudly, each with his sword and spear, and rushed towards the city wall in chaos. scared Li Fengyuan so much that he ran down the city wall, and he didn't know where he had gone. And those soldiers guarding the city, seeing that the county order has been scattered, who is willing to stay here and wait for death, let out a shout, and disperse in a hurry, but no one dares to release an arrow or shoot a thief!

However, although there was no one to defend the city, the thieves who besieged the city did not have ladders, battering rams and other equipment, so they had to chisel the city wall with weapons and try to dig a big hole with manpower. Although the city wall of Naruicheng County has fallen into disrepair for a long time, it is difficult to dig it up for a while.

doesn't stick to the mud but ignores everyone, and drags a young ** woman over with her hands, just in front of everyone, doing a lot of beasts! While slamming hard, he laughed heartily and said: "After the city is broken, it is still the old rule, I will keep three, and everyone will divide seven!" ”

The thieves burst into laughter and dug even tighter, Ruicheng County was already in danger!

Listening to the woman's screams, Zhu Youzhen was furious, and couldn't wait for Sun Chuanting any longer, so he hurriedly said to Rui'er: "Rui'er! Can you shoot a few of their leaders! ”

Although Rui'er was also indignant, she said worriedly: "If we are exposed, you will be in danger!" ”

Zhu Youzhen said categorically: "It's okay! These thieves are far worse than the Tartars, and the Tartars can't even live for their husbands, so they don't deserve to be hurt if they want to hurt their husbands! If you're afraid that we'll expose your target, we can shoot and change places! ”

Rui'er understood, and immediately opened her bow and set up an arrow, aiming at the head of the non-sticky mud is an arrow.

As a descendant of the Gusu Zhou family, one of the six great families of martial arts, her strength in her hands is extraordinary. This arrow was as fast as a meteor and as fast as lightning, and almost at the same time as the bowstring shook, the sharp arrow had been nailed to the back of the non-sticky head!

Although the non-sticky mud is the leader of the bandits, he is actually a peasant, but he is more ruthless than others, and if it comes to martial arts, it is really rare. What's more, he was committing atrocities again, he was about to die, and his face was facing the city wall, and he didn't expect someone to sneak attack from behind. was nailed by this arrow, and immediately pierced the skull, and died without a word.

At this time, the thieves were hurriedly attacking the city, and when they saw that the non-sticky mud was suddenly lying on the woman's body, they thought that he was exhausted and surrendered, but no one paid attention to him!

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he saw this, so he ordered Rui'er to continue to release arrows. Rui'er kept in her hands, and three more arrows were fired, and the three small leaders were killed immediately.

Only this time a small boss screamed, which finally attracted the attention of a large number of thieves.

"Oh no, the king is dead!" Someone finally found the non-sticky mud that had died and screamed in horror.

The thieves were terrified, and they all looked at the city, thinking that there were defenders at the head of the city who released cold arrows. But after watching it for a long time, the city was deserted, and I couldn't even see a figure!

"Ahh was in the midst of the thief's stunned kung fu, and another little boss screamed heartbreakingly, and was pierced through the heart by Rui'er!

The thieves looked at each other, both unbelievable and frightened!

"There's... Ghosts! I don't know who shouted first.

These thieves are a rabble, they have no combat power at all, and they can't even judge the direction of archery; At this time, I saw that the big and small leaders, including non-sticky mud, were shot to death inexplicably, and they were all frightened, and they thought that these people had done a lot of injustice, and they were finally convicted of heaven!

"Run!" The thieves shouted and ran away in all directions, and in a short time they fled cleanly!

"Both... All gone? Zhu Youzhen rubbed his eyes in disbelief, crying and laughing, did he just be hanged by such a bunch of things? Are you kidding!
