Coming out of the pine forest, Yu Ren did not go back, but left Changdaozhai directly with Lu Yue.

After meeting with everyone at the foot of the mountain, Yu Ren briefly told everyone about the situation of Changdaozhai and the grievances between Zhang Pan and Yao Wenguang.

"This Yao Wenguang really deserves to be killed. Even if we don't kill him, sooner or later someone will kill him. Ruolan listened to Yu Ren's relays and was very angry.

Li Zhaoji stroked his long beard and sat against the tree. He lost most of his long beard in yesterday's fight with the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and only a few wisps remained, but his habit of brushing his beard still hasn't changed.

"But he must be Zhao Shangshu's protégé! If we kill him, Zhao Shangshu will be blamed in the future, but I'm afraid we won't be able to afford it! ”

Yu Ren waved his hand, "This, Master Li can rest assured." I will bear this matter alone, and I promise that I will not implicate adults. ”

Li Zhaoji's face turned red. "I'm not afraid of responsibility. It's just that even if we decide to kill him, we don't have soldiers and horses in hand now, and he, Yao Wenguang, has three or four thousand soldiers guarding the city in his hands. And he shut the gates of the city again. We can't even get in, how can we kill him? ”

"Well, Master Li doesn't have to worry about it. As long as you lend me your Great Seal for a few days, I promise to bring Yao Wenguang's head back. ”

Li Zhaoji stood up with a big knife, "Let's go with General Yu!" After all, everyone is for the sake of the court and the emperor, and I, Li Zhaoji, should not be in an accident and let you take risks. I just don't know what kind of plan General Yu has? ”

Yu Ren was naturally happy to see that Li Zhaoji was willing to take the initiative to work with them. At least then he wouldn't have to find someone to impersonate him. In many cases, it is much more difficult to use fake than to use real.

"I've already figured out this matter, but there are some details that need to be acted upon." After speaking, Yu Ren attached his ear to Li Zhaoji's ear and told him his plan.

"That's a good idea! Good! Li Zhaoji said as he was excited to set off across the horse.

"Master Li, where are you going?" Ruolan asked from the side.

"To Taizhou, of course." Lee Siu Kee said.

"My lord, don't look at what time it is! Taizhou is only more than ten miles away from here, and it takes us less than an hour to get there on horseback. Now is the time to be a genius! Who will open the door for us when we arrive in Taizhou in the middle of the night?

At present, Shandong is in chaos, don't say that you are just a general soldier, even if you are the first assistant of the cabinet, then Yao Wenguang is afraid that he will not open the city gate for you. Let's wait until dawn before we go! ”

Li Zhaoji put down the horsewhip embarrassedly. "It's still Miss Ruolan who thinks about it carefully. Okay, then let's wait until dawn before leaving. ”

After a night's rest, Yu Ren and his party were full of energy. When they arrived in Taizhou, it was already the middle of the day.

Taizhou City is still the same as when they came yesterday, although it is not like a great enemy, but it is also a closed city, and there are many soldiers patrolling back and forth on each city tower. Before Yu Ren and the others approached, someone in the city had already asked loudly.

"Stop. Don't you see the gates closed? These are extraordinary times, and no one is allowed to enter the city casually. ”

Everyone restrained their horses, and Liang Zongyi rode forward alone and came to the city. He shouted to the guards of the city, "What don't you see, look what it is?" ”

As he spoke, Liang Zongyi raised a holy decree.

"This is the new Shandong General Soldier appointed by the emperor himself, Li Zhaoji and Lord Li. Hurry up and open the gates. ”

The guard was taken aback when he heard this, but he was still cautious.

"Please send the holy decree here, and let our general confirm it before opening the door."

With that, the guard told the drawbridge to be lowered. Liang Zongyi dismounted and walked to the city with the yellow silk holy decree in hand.

At this time, a hanging basket had already been laid down under the city. Liang Zongyi put the holy decree into the hanging basket and retreated to its original place.

Waited for about a quarter of an hour. A group of people came up from the castle tower. The leader was Yao Wenguang, who was sent here by Zhao Yan to be responsible for guarding the city, and Yao Wenguang was followed closely by Liu Changle, a former Jinan garrison who was almost shot to death by Yu Ren.

"It turned out to be Master Li's master. I'm really sorry, Shandong is in turmoil, and the governor sent officials to guard the city here, responsible for blocking the anti-thieves of the Wenxiang Sect from going north. The subordinate officials are responsible for their duties, and they can't open the city to greet Lord Li, so I hope that the adults are not strange! ”

Li Zhaoji snorted coldly. "What did Lord Yao say? You and I are both important ministers of the imperial court, and now Shandong is full of thieves, it is the time for you and me to work together, so why do you have to see the outside world like this.

This time, I did not go directly to Jinan from Zhili, but took the risk of making a detour to Yanzhou, and then turned back to Jinan, precisely to find out the military situation of the anti-thieves along the way. Right now, I have basically figured out the situation of the thieves, and I am about to inform Lord Yao. Please open the gates of the city quickly, so that I can go into the city and discuss the plan with you. ”

Yao Wenguang still wanted to make things difficult, but saw that Liu Changle had already sent someone to the city to open the city gate. Yao Wenguang was impatient, so he had to say no more.

You must know that this Li Zhaoji is the new Shandong commander-in-chief, although the official is under Zhao Yan, but Zhao Yannai is a civilian official, and the person who is really in charge of the army should be Li Zhaoji. Therefore, Yao Wenguang didn't really want Li Zhaoji to enter the city, he was worried that after Li Zhaoji came, he would weaken the military power in his hands.

However, Liu Changle has already opened the city gate, and Yao Wenguang is not good at stopping him again.

Several people met at the city gate, and Yu Ren finally saw this bold Jinan prefect up close for the first time.

Yao Wenguang was about forty-five or sixteen years old, with a clear appearance, medium height, and a long beard. looks like a bit of a literati temperament, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the word pervert.

Yao Wenguang was very enthusiastic, and he personally took Li Zhaoji and his entourage into his official residence. He also ordered his subordinates to prepare a sumptuous banquet.

Although Yu Ren had already dealt with Yao Wenguang and Liu Changle, because he had been hiding in the shadows at the time, the two did not know Yu Ren.

When Li Zhaoji introduced Yu Ren, he only said it lightly, saying that he was a special envoy sent by King Lu of Yanzhou to ask for help.

Several people were eating and drinking while chatting about the battle situation in Shandong. Seeing that Li Zhaoji did not mention the topic of adjusting the deployment of Taizhou, he did not even mention the inspection of the city defense team. only said that let them live well in Taizhou, and he will leave here tomorrow and go to Jinan to take up his post.

Hearing this, Yao Wenguang was completely relieved.

After chatting with Li Zhaoji for a few words, Yao Wenguang's eyes suddenly lit up. It's like a greedy hungry wolf that finds its prey.

Yao Wenguang saw that next to King Lu's envoy, there was a woman with an elegant temperament. This woman is about in her early twenties, and although she is dressed ordinarily, she has a beautiful and refined nobility in her bones.

This made Yao Wenguang feel like he had been scratched by a cat. There are not many women he has played with in his life, especially in the last six months. But he had never played with a woman with such a unique noble temperament like this woman.

"Who is that woman?" Yao Wenguang pretended to be careless and asked Li Zhaoji.

Li Zhaoji glanced back.

"I don't know. It should be someone like the concubine of Special Envoy Yu! Li Zhaoji said, and discussed the battle situation in Shandong with Liu Changle on the side.

"This kid is really blessed!" Yao Wenguang couldn't help but sigh.

When Li Zhaoji heard this, a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes. It's just that the light only flickered, and he kept his head down, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.

Although Yu Ren said that he was the envoy of King Lu, compared with Yao Wenguang and them, his status was much worse. Therefore, he did not share the table with Yao Wenguang and them. Yao Wenguang sent two thousand presidents to accompany him.

Although Yu Ren seemed to be concentrating on eating and drinking, he was actually paying attention to Yao Wenguang's every move. Yao Wenguang showed a look of fascination with Jiang Xiaowan, and Yu Ren also secretly looked at it in his eyes. But he still ate his banquet as usual, and did not show it in the slightest.

During this meal, Yu Ren was very drunk. They were arranged by Yao Wenguang to live in a small courtyard in the most remote part of the official residence. Yu Ren was carried back to his residence. He was too drunk to walk.

The men easily sent him back to the room, and he rolled over and threw up again.

Everyone had no choice but to hurry up and clean up for him. When everything was done, Yao Wenguang sent a few subordinates who were responsible for sending people off.

In Yu Ren's room, only Jiang Xiaowan was left alone, responsible for taking care of him. The others are gone.

Jiang Xiaowan sent away a few Yao Mansion subordinates, closed the door, and wiped Yu Ren's face seriously with the newly brought hot water, before settling him down.

But she didn't dare to sleep, for fear that Yu Ren would wake up in the middle of the night and find no one. So she moved a chair and sat at the head of Yu Ren's bed to guard him.

After Yu Ren vomited, Jiang Xiaowan scrubbed him clean, and it became much quieter. Soon, he was snoring like thunder. And Jiang Xiaowan was busy for a long time and tired, and when she saw Yu Ren sleeping quietly, she also closed her eyes with confidence.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xiaowan suddenly heard the sound of someone prying the window, and she was immediately woken up. Turning his head, a masked man dressed in black jumped in through the window.

"What ......"

Before Jiang Xiaowan's words were finished, the man in black had already rushed up with an arrow step, holding her mouth down, so that she could no longer speak.

Then, Jiang Xiaowan only felt that someone had lightly knocked on her back, and she lost consciousness.
