Chapter 239: Round-up of Officers and Soldiers
Seeing this, the other people rushed up, wanting to borrow more people and capture Ruolan in one fell swoop. However, this Liang Ruolan is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but her martial arts are not low at all. The seven or eight people surrounded her and fought for a long time, but they still couldn't help her, but she injured two of them.
Seeing that people couldn't beat it, the fire around them burned bigger and bigger. These big men finally couldn't help it, and without saying a word, they left Liu Ziming and fled.
Liu Ziming originally wanted to give it a go, but when he saw that the brothers around him had run out, he knew that the general trend had gone, and it was impossible to kill Liang Ruji today, so he left everyone behind and fled outside.
Before Liu Ziming could run out of the door, he heard someone outside loud loudly, "Oh no!" Officers and soldiers are coming! ”
Liang Ruji and the others in the courtyard were taken aback when they heard this, but they didn't panic. Seeing that the people of the Xiangjiao Sect had finally retreated, Yu Ren quickly put away his longbow and handed it to Ruomei on the side, and then picked up Liang Zongren, who was lying on the ground with several arrows in his body.
"We have to find a place quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid that the injuries of the two brothers will be in big trouble."
Liang Ruji nodded, the poison in his body at this time also began to attack one after another, and he urgently needed to find a place to heal.
As soon as a few people walked out of the Liang family's compound, they heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of them. Yu Ren hurriedly wanted to take everyone to hide in the bushes first, but it was too late. Forty or fifty heavily armed cavalrymen rushed into the village like the wind, and at once surrounded them.
Yu Ren knew that this time, Wan Wanqiang couldn't rush out, so he had to signal everyone to stop.
After the dozens of cavalry surrounded them, they divided into more than 20 horsemen and searched the two ends of the village. Soon, these people returned.
These cavalrymen surrounded Yu Ren and the others, but did not talk to them, and one of the leading officers summoned one of his subordinates and said to him, "Go and report to your lordship, and say that we have caught seven thieves from the Smelling Fragrance Sect here." ”
"We didn't smell the incense, the people from the smelling incense sect just left."
The two officers and soldiers ignored Yu Ren's words, and the cavalry transferred the horse's head and galloped away.
Yu Ren looked at all this and secretly worried, knowing that this time he was afraid that it would be another big trouble.
Ruomei whispered in Yu Ren's ear, "These greedy officers and soldiers can't be justified with them. Let's take advantage of the fact that they haven't arrived yet, and rush out! ”
Yu Ren shook his head, "No, we didn't rebel in the first place, and we are not people from the Smelling Fragrance Sect, if we don't do anything with them, we may be able to deal with this matter." If you attack officers and soldiers, then the crime of rebellion will be confirmed. What's more, there are seven of us here, three seriously wounded and one child. On the other hand, there were forty or fifty heavily armed heavy cavalry. You can't beat them, and you can't escape them. It is better to respond to all changes with the same. Let's look at the situation! ”
Ruomei listened and didn't speak again.
After a while, hundreds of officers and soldiers came from behind, most of them infantry, and only a few who were probably officers rode horses. The leader of them was a young man of small stature, dressed in a shiny suit of armor.
The young officer at the head rode in the middle of the crowd, but his hand was tightly grasping the reins of the horse, and it seemed that he had not been learning to ride a horse for a long time.
Yu Ren was thinking about who he should bring out when they interrogated for a while, so it would be appropriate. Originally, at this time, the Donglin Party was being recognized by the emperor, and he could carry anyone's name as he wanted. But he didn't want to. After all, everyone in the Donglin Party is a person with a very high reputation, and they are different from him. What's more, now that Wei Zhongxian has appeared, if he brings them out, they will certainly come to prove their identity, but they will also leave an excuse to falsely accuse Wei Zhongxian in the future.
When Yu Ren was in a dilemma, the young officer who was the leader suddenly panicked, jumped off his horse in a hurry, and almost tripped and fell down in the saddle, but fortunately the men who followed him helped him, but the helmet was crooked.
The two Ruomei Ruolan sisters on the side couldn't help but laugh when they saw the ridiculous appearance of this officer. Liang Ruji glared at the two of them, the two little girls quickly put away their smiling faces, and Ruomei quietly stuck out her tongue at her sister.
The young officer dismounted, threw down his obstructive helmet, and ran to Yu Ren panting.
When the leader of the cavalry saw the young man, he immediately jumped down from his horse and gave him a military salute. "Report to your lordship, we have caught seven anti-thieves of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. Adult, please. ”
But the young officer raised his hand and gave the little cavalry leader a whip.
"I'll hit you with a blind thing. This is my Mr. Engong Yu, how can I say that I am a thief. A few of you, give me an honest explanation, who made my father-in-law look like this? ”
After speaking, the young officer turned to Yu Ren, "Engong, why did you come here?" Is the injury serious? A few of you who don't have long eyes, why don't you hurry up and get a soft sedan chair and carry it up for my father-in-law. ”
The abnormal behavior of the young man made Liang Ruji and several others like two monks, and they were confused. But Yu Quan was completely relieved. It turns out that this is really no coincidence. The young officer who led the team today was none other than Hou Jingru.
Originally, these people were all subordinate to Jinyiwei and had nothing to do with Hou Jingru at all. However, at this time, Wei Zhongxian had already taken up the positions of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. At this time, he was trying his best to get a tie to the emperor's nurse Keshi, so he tried his best to promote Hou Jingru.
At this time, someone in Jinyiwei reported that a group of bandits from the Wenxiang Sect had been found in Shilipu outside Beijing, and they were about to gather to make trouble. As soon as Wei Zhongxian heard the joy, he immediately changed the disturbance to a rebellion, and then asked Hou Jingru to rush to arrest him with five hundred brocade guards.
Wei Zhongxian's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants to give Hou Jingru a great credit, and then give him a promotion. Unexpectedly, Hou Jingru met Yu Ren here.
After speaking, Hou Jingru stepped forward to support Yu Ren, "Where is Engong's injury, I will send you into the city immediately and find the best doctor in Beijing to treat you." Hou Jingru saw that Yu Ren's clothes were torn, and his face was covered with blood, so he naturally thought that he was seriously injured.
In Hou Jingru's mind, Yu Ren has always been his idol, and Yu Ren in his mind will always be dressed in a white shirt and elegant appearance. Therefore, suddenly seeing Yu Ren's appearance, Hou Jingru couldn't help but have a sour nose. Then he pointed hatefully at the forty or so cavalrymen beside him with his leather whip. "You guys wait for me until I find out who made my father like this. I'm going to have him cut him down. ”
As soon as these words came out, the frightened cavalry Hulala all jumped off their horses and knelt in front of Hou Jingru.
Yu Ren shook his head, "I'm not hurt. It's none of their business. It was done by the people who smelled the incense. Yesterday I was invited by a friend to be a guest here, but I didn't expect it to be just in time for the Smelling Fragrance Sect to attack the village. A few of us fought them fiercely, and that's how it came to be. Fortunately, your men came down in time, and those villains of the Smelling Fragrance Sect were scared away. Otherwise, you'll have to collect the body for me today. ”
Hou Jingru heard Yu Ren's words and turned his anger into joy. "I see. That's great. As he spoke, he turned to the group of men kneeling beside him.
"It turns out that you have not had it, but you have merit. Okay, when I go back, tell Grandpa Wei and let him reward each of you with fifty taels of silver." ”
Those people had just come back from the ghost gate, and then they heard Hou Jingru say that they wanted to reward them, and they hurriedly kowtowed to Hou Jingru one by one to thank them. All of them know that this inconspicuous figure in front of them is the emperor's brother, and he is the person who even Gonggong Wei has to stammer.
Hou Jingru heard that Yu Ren was not injured, and that his subordinates arrived in time to save his life, and his heart suddenly became happy.
"Alas! What about the soft sedan I asked you to find? Why haven't you come yet? ”
An officer walked up and replied cautiously, "Lord Hui, we didn't bring a soft sedan chair." Why don't you chop some branches here and make a few? ”
"Yes, you can do it! Be quick. Only then did Hou Jingru remember that he was here to arrest people today, not to invite people.
At this time, a brocade-clothed Wei Qianzong walked up to Hou Jingru and whispered in his ear, "My lord, Gonggong Wei has already sent a bodyguard to the emperor this time, saying that if you go out this time, you will definitely succeed, and you will definitely be able to wipe out the Wenxiang Sect."
But this time, we will only arrest so many people, and if we let them go again. How do you explain to the emperor when you go back? ”
