Zhou Yuting really didn't deliberately want to hang Chen Ningning, she tossed and turned on the ** last night and thought about her thoughts, and she didn't fall asleep until Linchen, so she naturally got up late. Reading artifact

Moreover, Chen Ningning specially told the red-clothed girl not to disturb Zhou Yuting's sleep, after all, Zhou Yuting is the main room in the future, and she is waiting here for something that is natural.

When Zhou Yuting woke up, the sun had risen very high, and she felt very strange when she learned that Chen Ningning had come to visit, she and Chen Ningning did not have any friendship.

After being reminded by the red-clothed girl, she realized that Chen Ningning was here to "ask for peace" for herself, nominally she is now Li Yuntian's fiancée, and she will be in charge of the Li family's back house in the future, Chen Ningning naturally wants to have a good relationship with her.

Zhou Yuting actually didn't want to see Chen Ningning, she hated Li Yuntian very much now, and didn't want to have anything to do with Li Yuntian, and Chen Ningning's visit was undoubtedly equivalent to admitting that she was Li Yuntian's fiancée.

Since Li Yuntian had just been beaten for her, Zhou Yuting decided to wait for Li Yuntian's injury on his buttocks to heal before mentioning the matter of withdrawing from his family.

However, since Chen Ningning has "killed" the door, how could Zhou Yuting retreat, so she dressed up under the service of the red-clothed maid, still dressed in men's clothes, with a fluttering white shirt and a heroic posture.

"Miss Zhou." When Zhou Yuting entered the living room, Chen Ningning was sitting there drinking tea, and when she saw this, she quickly got up, blessed her with a smile, and bowed.

Chen Ningning originally wanted to call Zhou Yuting "sister", but after thinking about it, it would be more appropriate to call her "Miss Zhou", no matter how Zhou Yuting has not passed the door yet.

"Miss Chen, please be seated." Looking at the pure, beautiful, gentle and elegant Chen Ningning, Zhou Yuting was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that Li Yuntian's concubine room would have a moon-shy appearance and an elegant and noble temperament, so she was quite surprised and made a gesture to Chen Ningning.

Chen Ningning did not mention Li Yuntian's affairs, but introduced the customs and cultural landscape of Jiujiang Mansion to Zhou Yuting, she has prepared a painting boat, if Zhou Yuting is interested, she can accompany Zhou Yuting to play on Poyang Lake, now is a good season to visit the lake.

Because Chen Ningning is humble and polite, and her personality is hearty and generous, she has no pretentiousness in those ladies, so Zhou Yuting quickly had a good impression of her, and then was moved by Chen Ningning's words and decided to go to Poyang Lake to play.

Anyway, she didn't have anything to do when she came to Hukou County, and the injury on Li Yuntian's buttocks was difficult to recover from in a short period of time, so it was better to swim in the lake to pass the time.

How did Zhou Yuting know that Chen Ningning's heartiness and generosity were deliberately done to win her favor and get close to her, because Chen Ningning saw that she was a cheerful and straightforward person, so she did what she liked. The update is the fastest and most stable

Compared with Chen Ningning's scheming and the city government, where is the opponent of the simple-minded Zhou Yuting, Chen Ningning unknowingly controlled the situation.

After learning the news that Chen Ningning was going to take Zhou Yuting to the lake, Li Yuntian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, which meant that he could be clean for a few days and no longer have to be entangled by Zhou Yuting.

Due to the injury on his buttocks, Li Yuntian spent the next few days lying on his stomach, dealing with some official business at hand.

During this period, the white-robed young man invited a well-known salt merchant from Jiujiang City to guarantee He Renwei, he originally wanted to find Chen Zhanpeng, who had dealt with him, but unfortunately Chen Zhanpeng went to Yangzhou City last month, otherwise Chen Zhanpeng would definitely accompany them to drink in the restaurant at that time.

"My lord, a bandit has come to report that Wu Scar is going to attack the two ladies tonight!" That afternoon, when Li Yuntian was strolling in the courtyard, Luo Ming hurriedly walked in.

"What?" The injury on his buttocks is now basically no longer in the way of walking, and when he heard this, he suddenly looked at Luo Ming in surprise.

Wu Daoscar is one of the three major water bandits on Poyang Lake, and he is the most capable bandit on Poyang Lake.

Li Yuntian felt very strange, Wu Daoscar's territory on Poyang Lake was not in the waters of Hukou County, so the two of them had no grudges, and the well water did not interfere with the river water, I don't know why he wanted to attack Zhou Yuting and Chen Ningning.

In order to ensure the safety of Zhou Yuting and Chen Ningning's trip to the lake, the Chen family arranged for more than 20 big men to accompany them for protection, and they walked in safe waters, and they went ashore to stay at night, which should be foolproof.

In addition, Li Yuntian is the magistrate of Hukou County, so there is no need for the bandits to provoke a county prince who once exterminated Wang San.

"Wang San's sister Wang defected to Wu Scar, and was deeply loved by Wu Scar, and Wu Scar was instigated by her to attack the two ladies." Luo Ming knew that Li Yuntian was surprised, and he was very surprised when he heard the news, and then explained.

"Where are the two ladies staying tonight?" Li Yuntian suddenly felt a headache when he heard this, and asked repeatedly.

The last time Wang San's lair was encircled and suppressed, Wang San's sister, that is, Wei Kun's wife, went out to run errands and was not on the island, so she became a fish that slipped through the net, but she didn't expect her to take refuge in Wu Dao Scar.

Wei Kun has been killed by Zhang Youde, and Wang Sanqiu will also be beheaded in Jiujiang City when he decides, and the Wang family hates Li Yuntian to the core, so it is logical that Wu Daoscar wants to attack Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting.

"According to the itinerary, it should be to Ningshui Town, Wuning County." Luo Ming thought about it and replied in a deep voice.

"Ningshui Town?" Li Yuntian's brows suddenly furrowed.

Wuning County belongs to Nanchang Prefecture, which makes things very troublesome, he can be sure that the Ningshui Town Inspection Division is not the opponent of Wu Daoscar's gang of water bandits, and he may sit back and watch Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting be taken away.

Due to the urgency of time now, the only way to save the two is to bring the sergeant of the Baishui Town Inspection Department to reinforcements, but in this way, Li Yuntian has undoubtedly violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a very serious crime to bring troops into the county under the jurisdiction of others without permission, and it will inevitably cause a series of disputes between Jiujiang Mansion and Nanchang Mansion.

It seems that Wang's move is really ruthless, which makes Li Yuntian worried.

"My lord, or let my subordinates take people to change into civilian clothes and rush to Ningshui Town, and take the two ladies to the Ningshui Town Inspection Division!" Luo Ming saw Li Yuntian frowning and pacing back and forth in the courtyard, so he said tentatively.

Luo Ming's calculation is very good, as long as Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting enter the Ningshui Town Inspection Division, then even if the people in the Ningshui Town Inspection Division don't want to take care of this matter anymore, then they have to confront the water bandits, and they can't watch the water bandits rush into the inspection department to arrest people.

"What do you think of the sergeants of the Ningshui Town Inspection Division compared to Zhao's subordinates before?" Li Yuntian stopped and said to Luo Ming with a wry smile.

Luo Ming was silent when he heard this, the situation of the inspection department around Poyang Lake is much the same, there are many old, weak, sick and disabled people who are indiscriminately filling, coupled with poor equipment, so the morale is low, and they usually check the pedestrians, vehicles and boats passing by, so that they can fight against the bandits, I am afraid that they will collapse at the touch of a button.

They were just forcibly conscripted to serve in the conscription, and they were just eating in the inspection department, so how could they fight with the bandits?

"Did the bandit say how he got the news?" After a deep groan, Li Yuntian broke the silence of the scene and asked quietly.

"Wu Daoscar gathered a few bandits and prepared to arrest the two ladies together, not only to give the adults a little color, but also to extort a huge ransom from the adults and Master Chen."

Luo Ming had already asked the bandit for details, and replied, "Last night, Wu Daoscar and other bandit leaders were drinking together and he overheard him, he didn't want to be a water bandit anymore and live that kind of frightened life, so he came to report to the adult, hoping that the adult could reward him with a sum of silver, so that he could go away." ”

"How many of those bandits are there?" Li Yuntian nodded when he heard this, and his expression became solemn.

"At least seven or eight hundred." Luo Ming thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"Give him a hundred taels of silver." Li Yuntian frowned slightly, and then instructed Luo Ming, "Let Inspector Zhao come to this official, and then send someone to inform Li Manshan, so that he can quickly bring people to reinforcements." ”

Luo Ming didn't dare to slack off, arched his hand to Li Yuntian, and walked away quickly.

"If you want to fight me, you're still far away!" Li Yuntian pondered in the courtyard for a while, his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Soon, Chen Bozhao and Zhao Hua came to Li Yuntian's study, and the two didn't know that Wu Scar was going to attack Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting under the instigation of the Wang family, and they were immediately shocked when they learned about it.

Zhao Hua had dealt with the Ningshui Town Inspection Division before, and he was sure that as long as Wu Daoscar led those hundreds of water bandits into Ningshui Town, those guys would definitely flee and wait until the water bandits were gone and then come back to bluff and clean up the mess.

"Virtuous son-in-law, if something happens to Miss Zhou, the consequences will be unimaginable." Chen Bozhao looked at Li Yuntian with a worried expression, although he was worried about Chen Ningning's comfort, but it was obvious that Zhou Yuting was the key to this incident, in case Zhou Yuting had any accidents, he couldn't explain to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

Because Li Yuntian has strictly sealed Zhou Yuting's identity to the outside world, there are very few people who know that Zhou Yuting is the third lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, which may be a great luck in misfortune.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, this official will bring someone to protect them." Li Yuntian comforted Chen Bozhao and said to Zhao Hua in a deep voice, "Zhao Inspection, immediately mobilize all the troops of the Inspection Division, and follow this official to Ningshui Town." ”

"My lord, that is not our jurisdiction, and I am afraid that going there rashly will lead to disputes." Zhao Hua knew that Li Yuntian cared about the safety of Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting, but he had to remind Li Yuntian.

"The official has already thought of a countermeasure." Li Yuntian said in an orderly manner when he heard this, he didn't explain what the countermeasure was, so Zhao Hua naturally didn't dare to ask.

Soon after, all the sergeants of the Inspection Division were dispatched and lined up on the docks in full armor, and entered the cabins of several large ships in turn, which made the people who were watching the bustle talk to each other and whisper, and they did not know what was happening.

"Father-in-law, I'll leave everything here to you." Before boarding the boat, Li Yuntian arched his hand at Chen Bozhao, and then strode onto the boat surrounded by Zhao Hua and Luo Ming.

Waiting for the big ships full of sergeants of the Inspection Division to leave the dock, Chen Bozhao returned to Chen's Mansion with a heavy heart, and in the face of the menacing Wu Dao Scar, he didn't know whether Li Yuntian was going to be fierce or auspicious this time.

Even if Li Yuntian rescued Chen Ningning and Zhou Yuting in Ningshui Town, how should he explain his cross-border move of leading troops across the border to Wuning County and Nanchang Mansion?

"Master, this is a letter from my uncle asking my concubine to hand over to my master." When he got home, as soon as Chen Bozhao sat down, his old wife handed him a letter.

Chen Bozhao was quite surprised when he heard this, what was there Li Yuntian who was not good to say in front of him, and he actually wanted to write a letter.

"Oh my God!" After reading Li Yuntian's letter, Chen Bozhao couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Master, what's the matter?" Seeing the astonishment on Chen Bozhao's face, the old wife hurriedly asked with concern.

"Nothing?" Chen Bozhao came back to his senses, stuffed the letter into his arms, and said in a deep voice to the maid ring on the side, "Inform all the clan elders that the master has something to discuss with them!" ”
