Yu Ren looked at Qi Shijiao and didn't speak for a long time. Because he had fled Beijing with Zhao Rui last time, he had never been in contact with the Donglin Party. He really didn't have much confidence in this requirement of Qi Shijiao. He believed that Zhao Nanxing must have hated him at this time. And Zhao Nanxing is a person with absolute authority in the Donglin Party, and now he is in the position of secretary of the Ministry of Officials, holding the appointment and dismissal of officials.

Thinking of that stubborn old man, Yu Ren couldn't help but frown.

"I'm only afraid of ...... in this matter"

"I know that this matter is also difficult for Yu Gongzi. But I don't expect Childe to be able to do it. As long as you do your best. I believe you! ”

After speaking, Qi Shijiao held Yu Ren's hands and looked at his eyes seriously, as if he was afraid that he would refuse.

Yu Ren looked at him, and he could feel the trust and sincerity in the other party's eyes.

"Alright! I'll do my best to do that. But if it can't be done, I don't dare to talk about it. ”

"Good! That's it! A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase! If there is a violation of the word, the sky will thunder! After speaking, Qi Shijiao raised his hand.

High-five with both hands as an oath.

After completing this agreement, the two immediately went their separate ways. Qi Shijiao didn't wait for dinner, so he followed Yu Ren to their temporary camp outside the city.

And Yu Ren handed over the matter of immigration to Qi Shijiao, and began to think about quelling the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect. After he handed over the Qi Shijiao, it was already the middle of the moon. Yu Ren called Liang Zongyi.

"Zongyi, according to your latest letter. When did the Smelling Church rebel? ”

"They had agreed to start next year. But this time, Liu Ziming was hit hard by us and fled to Yanzhou, and he must be worried that we will cause something about them. So I guess they will definitely rebel in the shortest possible time. ”

Yu Ren looked at the sky, "If you rush to Yanzhou City from here, how long do you think it will take to arrive?" ”

Liang Zongyi lowered his head and thought about it. "It should arrive after dawn tomorrow."

"So, what if you walk?"

"It's slow to walk. At an average marching pace, it would have taken five days! ”

Yu Ren waved his hand, "No, it's too slow." We don't have that many horses at the moment. But I want you to rush into the city tomorrow before the gates of Yanzhou City are closed. Can it be done? ”

Liang Zongyi hesitated. "I'm afraid it's too difficult!"

Yu Ren waved his hand again. "I know it's hard. But we have to do it. Judging from the time Liu Ziming fled to Yanzhou, he should have rebelled below. At present, it is unknown whether Yanzhou City has been captured by them. In case they take it. Then this rebellion will be very difficult to deal with.

Therefore, you must rush to Yanzhou as soon as possible and try your best to hold Yanzhou.

I, too, will be with you. ”

"Yes!" Liang Zongyi knew that now this was no longer a discussion, but an order.

"So, how many people are we going to bring?"

"Fifty." Yu Ren said firmly.

"What? Fifty people? Before Liang Zongyi could speak, Ruomei on the side had already opened her mouth in surprise.

"If the Wenxiang Sect rebels in Yanzhou, the number of people will be at least more than 100,000. And we want to defeat them with these fifty men? ”

"Is it possible to select some of the able-bodied people from our group of disaster victims to come with us?" Liang Zongyi asked.

"No, I can't. For one, they don't want to. Two, we don't have time anymore. These men had never fought before, and they had been hungry for so long, that they had suddenly marched as quickly as we did. They must not be able to stand it. So, all we can take with us are the fifty people left behind by your uncle.

Go for it! ”

"Yes!" Liang Shouyi agreed loudly and immediately gathered his subordinates.

Yu Ren took these fifty people to Yanzhou City from midnight. They don't walk at all, they run. Originally, they had more than a dozen war horses. But in order to boost morale, Yu Ren left all the ten horses without belts. He ran with his brothers.

It was a difficult march. They had less than ten hours, but they had to walk nearly two hundred miles.

Originally, Yu Ren planned to leave Ruolan Ruomei behind, but these two little girls heard that Yu Ren only took fifty people to Yanzhou to quell the rebellion, and they had to go with them if they were killed.

Yu Ren had no choice but to let them.

It's tough though. But in the end, Yu Ren and they still created a miracle. Just when Yanzhou was about to close the city gate, they rushed to the city of Yanzhou.

But then there is a big problem. Since they were all heavily armed, and Liu Ziming and others had already launched a rebellion in Yanzhou. The sergeants defending the city did not open the door to them at all. Before they could get closer, the gates were closed, and the drawbridge was closed.

"Open the door. We will go into the city to see King Lu. Yu Ren stood under the city and shouted.

"Who are you?" One of the city's guards asked in a loud voice.

"We are the defenders of Taizhou City. I heard that the Wenxiang Sect had rebelled, and Lord Qi specially ordered me to wait for the starry night to rush to Yanzhou to help. I also have a handwritten letter from Lord Qi to King Lu. Yu Ren said, waving the handwritten letter that Qi Shi taught him to write.

"Shoot the letter!" The Keeper said.

Without saying a word, Yu Ren drew a long arrow and shot it at a wooden pillar in the city tower.

The general took the letter and hurried down to the city.

In a short time, the gates of the city were wide open. Then, the drawbridge was lowered.

Yu Ren then led his men into the city.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw a group of men and horses coming up.

The men and horses were all richly dressed, and the carriages were extremely luxurious. A fat man in his mid-forties stood in the car. Seeing Yu Ren, the fat man immediately jumped out of the carriage.

"Yu Zhuangshi has worked hard all the way."

The guard who was talking to Yu Ren in the city introduced Yu Ren, "This is King Lu. ”

Yu Ren heard that the fat man in front of him was King Lu, so he hurriedly saluted him. "Yu Ren, a grass citizen, was entrusted by Lord Qi to come from Taizhou to help the prince quell the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect.

King Lu nodded, reached out and patted Yu Ren's shoulder gently.

"Zhuangshi Yu has worked hard." Then, King Lu raised his head again and said to the people behind Yu Ren, "Everyone has worked hard. As long as everyone helps me put down this rebellion of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. I will personally go to the emperor to ask for credit to everyone, and promise not to treat everyone badly. ”

After speaking, King Lu personally took Yu Ren's hand and welcomed them into King Lu's mansion.

The servants in the palace were busy at this time. A banquet had been set up in the vast courtyard, and the servants were busy going back and forth.

King Lu took Yu Ren's hand and let him sit down on the chairman of the middle.

"Yu Zhuangshi came suddenly, and the king was not prepared, but the people were already busy. In less than half an hour, the banquet must be set up. ”

After speaking, King Lu personally poured Yu Ren a glass of wine. "Lord Qi and this king met in their early years, and they can be regarded as close friends. But I don't know how he knew that the Wenxiang Sect rebelled in Yanzhou? ”

Yu Renzheng was thirsty, and he was not polite, so he reached out and drank the glass of wine. "Because this group of incense smellers had a disturbance in Taizhou not long ago, and several people were arrested later. As a result, the magistrate tried it in the first instance and found out that they were going to rebel. Therefore, when I heard that they were going to rebel in Yanzhou, Lord Zhizhou notified Lord Qi as soon as possible. Our Lord Zhizhou is still a protégé of Lord Qi.

When Lord Qi got the news, he was worried that King Lu would not know, so he sent me to wait for the starry night to come and inform him, and help the prince to quell the rebellion by the way. ”

When King Lu heard this, he quietly nodded to the general guarding the city who was guarding the city. The general arched and retreated.

Yu Ren saw all this in his eyes and knew that this King Lu didn't really believe him. He deliberately pretended all this. The guard must have quietly brought someone with him, ready to respond at any time around. Now that he is gone, it means that King Lu has let go of the doubts in his heart.

Yu Ren saw that the servants of King Lu's mansion were busy coming and going, and they were full of fruits, candied fruits and other things. And his brothers, who had traveled so long, had scarcely eaten much, and were now hungry, and none of these things could satisfy their hunger.

Seeing that the brothers were hungry, but no one did anything to face a large pile of food. Yu Ren couldn't help but say, "Lord Wang." You don't have to. Our brothers are rough people, and we are satisfied with every meal as long as we are full. If you can, you can eat meat occasionally, it's good. Nothing else, nothing extravagant. Now everyone has been on the road for more than a day, and they are all hungry. If you have anything to satisfy your hunger, can you take it out and fill your brothers' stomachs first? ”

When King Lu heard this, he nodded again and again.

"Yes, yes, yes. It is the king who does not consider it. After speaking, King Lu waved behind him. Chamberlain. ”
