At this time, they were already exhausted, hungry and tired. Having taken this respite, several men laid down their weapons, took water and food from their horses' burdens, and ate and drank at once. From the time they left the city in the morning to break through the siege, it has been a whole day, and they have not been able to eat a bite of food or drink a drop of water. Obviously the food and water were in the backpack behind him, but he never had a chance to open it. Now it's finally time to take a break.

However, they did not dare to dismount. After all, this is a battlefield. Although Li Xianzhong was here, they still didn't dare to be careless.

Li Xianzhong's horse team was a little chaotic, they were not like the Ming army, but more like the Mongols outside the Saiwai, attacking Huang Yudie's team in a scattered and disorderly manner.

Look at Topaz Butterfly again. Although her team was only one-fifth of the opponent's, they did not panic, but lined up in an orderly manner. Li Xianzhong led his team like a swarm of bees out of the nest, impacting Huang Yudie's team. But Huang Yudie calmly coped with the impact of Li Jiajun's batch after batch. It's like a rocky reef standing still in the waves.

Yu Ren sat quietly on the back of the horse on the side, eating the flatbread in his hand while observing the battle situation. On the surface, Li Xianzhong has the upper hand. But Huang Yudie was as steady as Mount Tai, so Li Xianzhong couldn't help her for a while. Seeing that the battle situation on the other side was dragging on for more and more time, Yu Ren couldn't help but get anxious. Because he knew that Huang Yudie still had a large number of backup teams that were about to arrive.

If they waited for Huang Yudie's tens of thousands of reinforcements to arrive, it would be difficult for them to get out again. Although his purpose in leaving the city this time was to distract the enemy, he did not want to die yet. If Huang Yudie's tens of thousands of troops were to surround them, then they would have only one way to die.

Thinking of this, Yu Ren shouted to Li Xianzhong, "Brother Li, this gang of thieves is too difficult to bite. Let's quit first! When the army arrives tomorrow, everyone will work together to destroy them! ”

Where did Li Xianzhong listen to Yu Ren's advice, all he wanted at this time was to eliminate the rebels in front of him as soon as possible, so that he could show himself in front of the county lord of Luyue. Yu Ren's advice, to his ears, was that Yu Ren was worried that he would rob him of the great work in front of him, so he would deliberately scare himself.

Yu Ren shouted again, and seeing that Li Xianzhong was unmoved, he knew that he couldn't listen to his words, so he had to sigh.

"It seems that Li Xianzhong is determined to spend time here with Huang Yudie. Then let them consume! We'll have to go first. Otherwise, when Liu Yurong and Cao Wenzhao lead the main force to arrive, we will really have only one dead end. ”

"But where are we going? Now Shandong is full of thieves, and the officials of various states are also arrogant and dare not send troops to support Yanzhou. Lu Yue said.

Yu Ren looked up at the sky.

"It's getting late now. Let's get out of here first, find a hidden place to rest for the night, and recuperate well. Let's talk about the next steps. Anyway, we've pretty much done the first step. Topaz Butterfly has been successfully brought out by us. With this respite, the prince should be able to keep it for at least another twenty days.

The next step is where to go for help. ”

Lu Yue glanced at Li Xianzhong, who was still desperately entangled with Huang Yudie not far away, and said to Yu Ren, "Let's go!" Let's get out of here. You're right! Only if we survive can we have the opportunity to invite reinforcements to relieve the siege of Yanzhou. ”

After speaking, the little girl rushed forward first.

The six of them ran forward twenty or thirty miles in one breath before they came to a stop at the bottom of a hillside. There's a pine forest here. Yu Ren found some branches and made a few torches, and then led a few people into the pine forest.

They found a small clearing in the woods and made a fire there. At this time, the moon had risen above the treetops. A few people gathered around the fire, roasting two hares that were halfway up.

"We should get rid of them." Ruolan said while roasting the hare.

"Shake off is shake off. But where do we go next? Is it possible to run directly to the capital to ask the emperor for help? In that case, I'm afraid that before we invite reinforcements, Yanzhou City will already be breached by the thieves. When the time comes, my father is only afraid of ......" Speaking of this, the little girl choked up a little. She sat next to Yu Ren, leaning half on Yu Ren's body, obviously tired. escaped the immediate crisis, and she couldn't help but worry about her father again.

"It's not okay to go to Jingshi. Far water can't dissolve near fire. In my opinion, let's go to Jinan and try it. I heard that Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, was also actively preparing to counter the rebellion. He should be able to give us some reinforcements. As long as there are 5,000 soldiers and horses, and some supplies are brought, Yanzhou can hold out for two more months. At that time, the counterinsurgency army of the Beijing division will definitely be able to arrive. ”

When Lu Yue heard this, she was able to settle down a little.

After a tired day, they ate some dry food, and divided the rabbit meat, and then they slept by the fire and their clothes. In the pine forest here, there are a lot of pine hairs, so find some pine hairs to cushion underneath, and sleep comfortably.

Yu Ren also found some pine hair by himself, put it on the ground, and prepared to sleep, but saw Lu Yue leaning alone by the big tree on the side, in a daze.

Yu Ren walked over gently.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Yue looked up and saw that it was Yu Ren, and said softly, "It's nothing, I can't sleep." ”

"Why can't I sleep? Aren't you tired? We don't know what kind of situation we will encounter tomorrow, so how can we do it without resting now! ”

Lu Yue looked at the moon in the sky. "I never told you who I really am, don't you blame me?"

Yu Ren looked at her. "No! I've had times when I've been incognito! For example, not long ago, I pretended to be a small merchant and infiltrated the Smelling Fragrance Sect. I also found out a lot of their secrets. That's why Huang Yudie hates me very much. ”

When Lu Yue heard this, she became happy. "Really?"

"Of course. If you don't believe it, tomorrow you can ask Ruolan about them. ”

Lu Yue glanced at Yu Ren, "I know." I didn't expect you to be so bad! ”

"What do you know?" Yu Ren was a little strange, I don't know what this little girl thought.

"You must have pretended to be a merry merchant, and then you were fascinated by that woman Huang Yudie. You take advantage of her infatuation with you to secretly find out the secrets of their incense smelling sect. I'm right! ”

Yu Ren gently patted Lu Yue's head. "I mean, what are you thinking all day long! Am I that bad? Besides, the person this Huang Yudie loves is his senior brother. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought Mrs. Lu out. It was precisely because Madame Lu was her rival in love, and Huang Yudie vowed to kill her as soon as possible, that I was able to use this to provoke her, so that she finally lost her reason and led a large army to pursue us.

This woman's love for her senior brother is simply to the point of madness, how can she fall in love with me! ”

Speaking of this, Yu Ren's mind naturally appeared with a beautiful figure, the girl who was fierce and persistent in her heart - Yu Yuqian.

"I wonder how she's doing?" Yu Ren asked himself in his heart.

But Yu Ren is rational, and he knows that he shouldn't think about her anymore. So, he deliberately squinted at Lu Yue, wanting to divert his attention.

"Why did you suddenly have such a strange idea?"

Lu Yue's face was a little red. "I, I just thought of it out of the blue!"

Yu Ren saw Lu Yue's cute appearance, and suddenly understood in his heart. She must have been interested in him because she was interested in him, so she naturally inferred that Huang Yudie must also be interesting to her.

Thinking of this, Yu Ren couldn't help but chuckle.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Yue asked.

"Oh! It's nothing? Yu Ren replied with a smile.

"Don't laugh!" Lu Yue once again showed the domineering spirit of her daughter.

Yu Ren had no choice but to put away his smile.

"You,...... Don't you want to know my real name? Lu Yue saw that Yu Ren repeatedly accommodated herself, and she was a little unbearable.

"County Lord, please speak!"

Lu Yue glared at Yu Ren and suddenly became angry. "I suddenly don't want to tell you again!"

After speaking, Lu Yue stood up and ran forward.

Yu Ren didn't know why this girl suddenly became sexual. But he feared it wouldn't be safe here, so he followed her closely.

As soon as the two of them ran out of the woods one after the other, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them. Then I heard someone shouting, "Don't let this kid run!" ”

Yu Ren was taken aback, and Lu Yue also stopped in surprise, but she seemed to be because of this sudden accident, she didn't know how to deal with herself for a while, so she stood in place so fixedly.

Yu Ren pulled her up, and the two hid in a bush on the side of the road.

As soon as he was hiding, he saw a man galloping on a horse.
