Yu Ren, who was pretending to be asleep, almost didn't wake up when he heard this. But his heart trembled at the same time, remembering that the little girl in front of him was still an untrained girl, as simple as a blank piece of paper, and it was really undeserving for him to tease her like this.

Thinking of this, Yu Ren quietly withdrew his hand. One rolled over and pretended to be asleep.

Lu Yue watched Yu Ren withdraw his hand, both relaxed and a little disappointed. She felt as if she was expecting something, but she couldn't say it.

I saw that Yu Ren was asleep. Lu Yue looked at the man who got up seriously. This is a hero who is extremely heroic on the battlefield, but at this time he is asleep, but he is no different from ordinary people.

Looking at the face that had already been deeply imprinted in his mind, a trace of tenderness gradually rose in Lu Yue's heart. She wanted to look at this face like this until the earth was desolate.

Thinking of this, Lu Yue involuntarily stood up. She wanted to have the man in front of her, but she didn't know how to have him, she just felt that there was a huge wave rolling in her heart.

Lu Yue gently picked up Yu Ren's hand and held him in the palm of her hand. She wanted to kiss it, but she didn't dare.

At this time, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Go out of the water!" ”

Lu Yue was frightened and hurriedly put Yu Ren's hand back on the bed gently, like a stealing cat that had been discovered.

At this time, the shouting outside became louder and louder.

"Let's go to the water! Hurry up and put out the fire! "Just now it was just one person shouting, and at this moment, it was the voice of many people shouting. Yu Ren knew that he could no longer pretend to be asleep, so he had to sit up.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. Wait for me to ask the girl outside. As she spoke, Lu Yue shouted outside. Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin. ”

A little maid who had been waiting outside trotted in.

"What do you have to say?"

"Where is the fire out there?"

"Little maid doesn't know, I'll go and see it first."

Before Xiao Qin finished speaking, another maid had already hurried in.

"County Lord, it's not good. There was a fire in the temple of Tsuichiku. ”

Lu Yue stood up suddenly, "Cuizhu Courtyard? There's only a few rooms away from us! After speaking, Lu Yue pulled up Yu Ren and was about to run out.

"Why, what's the matter, rush like this. I haven't had shoes on yet! ”

"Oops! My general, this Cuizhu Courtyard is on fire, and it will soon burn to us. At this time, I don't care about my shoes. ”

Yu Ren was hurriedly pulled out of the courtyard by Lu Yue, and sure enough, he saw that a large courtyard next to the small courtyard where they lived had already ignited a raging fire, and looking at the fire, it really couldn't be extinguished in a while.

"The weather is not dry these days, how can such a big fire be burned for no reason!" Yu Ren said to himself.

No one paid attention to her words, and everyone was busy putting out the fire. Dozens of valets were constantly carrying buckets in and out, trying to extinguish the fire.

At this time, Ruolan Ruomei also came out.

In the distance, the two saw Yu Ren and hurriedly ran over here.

"General, are you alright?"

"It's fine!" As Yu Ren was talking, a male servant ran past him carrying a bucket of water, and suddenly his feet slipped and he fell.

Yu Ren hurriedly stretched out his hand and was about to help him, when he suddenly saw a cold light flash from the man's hand.

"Be careful!" Ruolan in the distance had also seen the dagger in the man's hand, but because she was too far away from Yu Ren at this time, she had no choice.

Yu Ren's posture of helping people has been made, and it is too late to stop the other party's dagger.

Seeing that the other party's dagger was about to stab into Yu Ren's chest, suddenly the manservant was kicked and flew up with a knife. The dagger was only a few inches away from touching Yu Ren's skin. But at this critical moment, someone rescued him in time.

Yu Ren never expected that among the people in this palace, there were also people who wanted to assassinate him. He glanced at Lu Yue gratefully.

Lu Yue raised her chin at him, as if to say, "See! I'm just talking about something. If I hadn't followed you every step of the way, would you have been able to escape? ”

Yu Ren was about to step forward to see who the person who attacked him was. Lu Yue stopped him.

"It's too dangerous, general, you can't go. Let's get out of here quickly! There are too many people here, too many people, too dangerous. Lu Yue said while hugging Yu Ren into a small courtyard.

At this time, Ruolan had also followed.

"What the hell is going on?" Ruolan asked Lu Yue.

"Someone pretended to be a subordinate of the palace and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to assassinate the general! I estimate that eighty percent of them were done by those accomplices of the Smelling Fragrance Sect. After Lu Yue finished speaking, she said to Ruolan, "You go and bring people." Let's take a good interrogation and see if he still has any accomplices lurking in the palace. ”

Ruolan was about to turn around when she saw Ruomei coming in.

"No need to interrogate. He's dead. ”

After speaking, Ruomei threw a dagger to the ground.

"This dagger is not only as sharp as clay, but also with great poison. As long as you cut a little bit of skin, you can immediately see blood and seal your throat. ”

Yu Ren was taken aback, "So stakes!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but look down at his chest. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with his chest, but his clothes were cut by him.

The fire was quickly extinguished, and King Lu was also taken aback when he heard that Yu Ren had been assassinated in his mansion. He summoned several of the butlers, reprimanded them, and then demanded that they find out how the assassin had infiltrated the prince.

Soon, the problem was identified. This person was disguised as a vegetable farmer who delivered vegetables to the house. This fire was also deliberately set by one of his companions, in order to deliberately create chaos and find an opportunity to assassinate Yu Ren.

Yu Ren scolded several housekeepers on the one hand, and ordered them to strictly check the people outside the prince's mansion.

After a night of messing around, Yu Ren couldn't get a good night's sleep in the end.

Seeing that the east is already exposed. Yu Ren hurriedly got dressed and came to the city. He had a hunch that these Smelling Incense Cultists would definitely launch a fierce attack on Yanzhou City today. Because they have lost all means, and there is only one way left to attack.

Sure enough, just after Chenzheng, the enemies outside the city rushed towards the city in groups carrying ladders and building bamboo bridges. On this side, they are no longer fighting on one side, but four cities attacking the city at the same time.

After the urgent preparations of Yu Ren and King Lu in the past few days, Yanzhou City has made full preparations. In the face of the onslaught of the Wenxiang Sect, Yu Ren was not too worried. These Smelling Incense Cultists did not have any heavy weapons to siege the city, but only relied on the large number of people to carry out crowd tactics. However, such attrition often requires the enemy to kill and wound ten or even dozens of people before he can kill or injure a soldier in the city.

However, these incense-smelling cultists are really not afraid of death. After several days of hard fighting, thousands of corpses were lying under the city of Yanzhou, but they still had no intention of retreating, but attacked more and more fiercely.

Especially Liu Ziming in Beicheng. Among the enemies attacking from all sides, the enemy in the northern city was the most fierce, and the soldiers defending the city also suffered the most casualties and the most damage to the city.

However, the problem is not limited to that. On the ninth day of the battle, Yu Ren found that the sharpest weapon he had ordered to make had run out of small explosives. The arrows in the arsenal were also depleted extremely quickly, and seeing that the reinforcements were still far away, most of their arrows had already been consumed.

If they continue to fight like this, it won't be long before they can only defend the city with stones.

After convening a meeting of several of his generals, everyone decided that they should save the use of arrows and try to get the enemy as close as possible before shooting.

After this adjustment, the rate of loss of arrows slowed down a lot, but at the same time, the daily casualty rate of the defenders began to rise.

On the twenty-third day of the fortification, Yu Ren recruited more than 3,000 new young soldiers from the city, and also mobilized many people to help. However, the men defending the city still felt very tight.

On this day, after repelling the last round of the enemy's attack, Yu Ren urgently convened a meeting of all his generals in the Lu Palace.

"Everyone, I don't know when the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive. It goes on like this. We are dangerous. Sooner or later, we'll run out of ammunition. It's just a matter of finding a way. Yu Ren got straight to the point.

"The other enemies are easy to deal with, but this Liu Ziming's subordinates in Beicheng are the most difficult to fight. More than half of the casualties of our soldiers every day are in Beicheng. The arrows and stones that defend the city every day are also more than half of the loss of the northern city.

If we can solve this group of people in the North City, then we don't have to worry. Liang Zongyi was the first to stand up and said.
