Chapter Seventy-Two: Solemnly Receiving the Wind

This time, Yu Ren undoubtedly made a great contribution to their Li family. Not only did they capture Chenqian Island, but they also suffered very few casualties. Because Mr. Qu had sent the news back to the clippers in advance, Yu Ren and his fleet had not yet reached Daqu Mountain, and the good news had already reached the headquarters here.

Li Ying received the battle report and was both surprised and delighted. What was surprising was that Shi Tingzhu, a person she had always valued very much, would actually rebel before the battle and assassinate Yu Ren, and Jiang Jiulang did not rush to Chen Qian Island to support in time. Happily, Yu Ren actually relied on these fifty people to not only blow up the fort on the island, but also capture Zhong Laosan and his more than 300 subordinates in one fell swoop. And this time, they obviously underestimated Zhong Laosan's strength, originally thought that there were only about a hundred people on Chen Qian Island, but they didn't expect that there would be three or four hundred.

Of course, the greater the risk, the greater the credit. This time, Li Ying can finally justifiably give Yu Ren a good show in front of his subordinates. This is her selfishness, in order to help Yu Ren establish prestige in their Li family. In fact, she has always had a wish in her heart, hoping that Yu Ren can run this caravan with her. However, she also knew that she was a little naΓ―ve in this idea.

The first is that she doesn't know what Yu Ren thinks. After all, they are pirates in the eyes of the court. And Yu Ren's identity, she had already inquired clearly. He was the cousin of Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general, and his father was the head of the Criminal Department in Nanjing. Although their family cannot be said to be important ministers of the imperial court, the head of the criminal department is also a sixth-rank rank, and his official rank is almost equal to that of Zhizhou, which is two levels greater than that of Zhixian. To say, it can be regarded as a child of a high-ranking cadre.

To be such a high-ranking cadre, follow them and the pirates, not to mention what Yu Ren thinks. Li Ying herself felt that she had wronged him too much from the bottom of her heart. However, to Li Ying's surprise, judging from Yu Ren's performance in the last few days, not only did he not have the slightest contempt for them pirates, but also seemed to be very proud to be able to mix with them.

This made Li Ying both happy and a little worried about Yu Ren. She always felt that Yu Ren was a talented person, as the saying goes, a good man has ambitions in all directions. She also wants Yu Ren to make a difference. However, she knew very well that Yu Ren's future was in the imperial court, not in them pirates.

However, if Yu Ren really made great contributions to the imperial court, and by that time, he would have become a big man in all directions, would he still care about himself and value himself as much as he does now?

Li Ying didn't know, so she was very annoyed.

This question has been bothering Li Ying since the moment Yu Ren appeared in Wentao Courtyard, making her very conflicted. However, when Yu Ren and Liu Qiang led people to attack Chen Qian Island, she didn't have the heart to think about these issues anymore, because her whole mind was on Yu Ren's safety.

This is not the first time Li Ying has fought a naval battle, and she knows the biggest feature of this naval battle very well. Fight on land, if you are defeated, you can escape. And at sea, if you are defeated and your ship is hit or sunk by someone else, then you will not even have a chance to escape. And Yu Ren's sneak attack on the island this time went deep behind enemy lines, in case they were discovered by the enemy before they blew up the fort. If Jiang Jiulang and they can't attack the island in time. Then Yu Ren's fate is only to be killed or captured

Because the only way out is the sea.

It is precisely because Li Ying knows the danger that she is so worried. If there is another way to choose, Li Ying is absolutely unwilling to let Yu Ren take this risk, and she is even willing to take the same place. But she also knew that no one could replace Yu Ren in this mission.

Since Yu Ren and the others left Daqu Mountain, Li Ying has been guarding the dock and has never moved. It wasn't until Mr. Qu's clipper brought the news that Li Ying's heart that had been hanging was put down.

Next, she immediately sent someone to gather all the people on the island, men, women, and children. Everyone goes to the dock together to greet their heroes in triumph.

When Yu Ren arrived at the dock, he was really startled to see nearly 1,000 men, women and children standing on the pier together. "What's going on?"

Mr. Qu hurriedly explained to him: This is what the eldest lady meant, and she wants to give you a good scenery. said that you have made a great contribution to the Li family this time. The eldest lady decided to hold a banquet on Daqu Island for three days to celebrate.

Saying that, Mr. Qu gave Yu Ren the lead, so as not to steal his limelight.

When Yu Ren was the first to step down from the boat, there was a burst of cheers on the dock. Yu Ren was nervous in his heart, he had grown so big, it was the first time he had become the focus of attention in front of thousands of people like today. Yu Ren glanced back weakly, wanting to find some spiritual support from Mr. Qu. However, when he turned around, he found that Mr. Qu had stopped.

Their brothers had all left him behind at this time, leaving him alone in the eyes of the thousands of fans who welcomed him. And they all stopped on the deck of the ship, and none of them disembarked with him. On the long springboard, there was only him - a lonely man.

Yu Ren secretly scolded: There is no righteousness. Then he had to follow the example of the visiting heads of state, raised his hand, and waved to the crowd below.

It wasn't until Yu Ren completely stepped off the gangplank that Mr. Qu led the others off the boat one after another. Then there were more than 300 captives on Chenqian Island. The captives did not tie their hands and feet with ropes, but sent a few brothers to guard them in front and back.

On the docks, the people who greeted them were even more excited to see that they had brought so many captives. Someone praised Yu Ren on the spot as the first capable person who has not met in a thousand years.

Even a cheeky person like Yu Ren couldn't help blushing after listening to their praise. Shame!

Li Ying seemed to be very satisfied with these evaluations.

Out of the dock, under the leadership of Li Ying. They came to a large empty rice field. It was originally used by the islanders to dry rice. But at this time, hundreds of tables were on the table. There are also people on the side who are constantly serving food to the top.

Yu Ren was led by everyone to sit down on the chief seat, and the other brothers who went to sea this time also sat on the table. At Yu Ren's seat, Li Ying personally sat on the side, in addition to Mr. Qu and several leaders of Daqu Mountain. As soon as he sat down, someone suggested that Yu Xianggong should be allowed to say a few words.

Yu Ren couldn't refuse, and was surrounded by everyone and stood on a vacant table next to him. Yu Ren understood that this time the welcome ceremony, so it was so grand, it was obviously Li Ying's intention. It seems that she wants to establish her prestige here as soon as possible! Yu Ren is not a stupid person, so he can naturally understand Li Ying's intentions.

"Brothers and sisters! I, Yu Ren, am not a member of our Li family yet. But, in fact, in my heart, I have long regarded myself as one of us. This time, we were able to successfully capture Chenqian Island, all of whom were brothers, and everyone was willing to take risks together and earned it desperately. Of course, I also contributed some efforts, but Yu Ren would never dare to do it alone. ”

Before Yu Ren's words were finished, several people in the audience burst into good-natured laughter: "Why did Yu Xianggong regard himself as a member of our Li family a long time ago?" ”

Another person next to him heard this, and immediately said, "It's not clear, of course it's Yu Xianggong who is interesting to our eldest lady!" People often say, talented and beautiful, don't you know? In terms of talent, Yu Xianggong is known as the first in the world, and no one dares to call him second. And the appearance of our young lady, that's too, that's too, ah, ah, haha......" When this person said this, he suddenly saw his eldest lady staring at him, and he hurriedly swallowed the next words in fright.

Actually, Li Ying wasn't really angry. Most of her men were rude, and she knew it. These people have always been open-mouthed, and she doesn't really blame them. It's just that she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet at the end, although she has been with these men all the year round, she is not as shy as other ordinary girls, but when others say it so naked, she still can't help blushing.

Li Ying thought that Yu Ren would not be very accustomed to the straightforwardness of his subordinates, after all, he must be a scholar, Confucianism has always emphasized such things as etiquette, righteousness and shame for thousands of years, and has always been secretive about the affairs of men and women.

Unexpectedly, this guy was so calm that he nodded again and again, "That's what it means!" That's what it means! ”
