The crowd was taken aback.

"No, it won't! Could it be that the thieves have really taken Taizhou City? Li Zhaoji couldn't believe it.

"Not necessarily, in my opinion. That Liu Changle is a veteran with rich battlefield experience, and there are more than 4,000 guards in Taizhou City. It was almost impossible for the Smelling Fragrance Sect to take this city in such a short period of time. ”

Li Zhaoji ordered the team to stop first and seize the time to build fortifications on the spot.

"Why don't I go and see the situation first!" Yu Rendao.

Li Zhaoji nodded. "But General Yu remembers to be careful not to rush in lightly."

Yu Ren nodded, and rushed towards Taizhou City with more than a dozen of his personal guards.

This way to the south, Yu Ren brought out all the men and horses of Zhang Pan when he passed Mount Tai. After a few days of recruitment, Zhang Pan's men have expanded to 2,000. has faintly become the elite vanguard of Li Zhaoji's team.

Yu Ren searched in the direction where the horse had discovered the enemy, and sure enough, he found a large number of incense smelling disciples in a mountain col not far away.

The col is relatively remote, and there is no road to the official road, only a small path full of weeds leading outside. If it weren't for the attentiveness of their spies, they wouldn't have discovered this place at all. Yu Ren was secretly glad that if Tanma hadn't discovered this hidden enemy, their army might have fallen into the enemy's trap.

But what kind of trap are these people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect laying out, and whether they have taken Taizhou City or not, Yu Ren feels that these two issues are very important, and he must find out as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too risky for the army to move forward.

Thinking of this, Yu Ren ordered all the horses to be tied in a dense forest next to him, and arranged for one person to stay behind, and the other nine people continued to move forward with him, trying to find out the enemy's intentions to garrison here.

At this time, it was already dusk, and for fear of being discovered by the enemy's secret sentry at the mouth of the valley, Yu Ren bypassed the mouth of the valley from a distance and chose a cliff that seemed impossible to climb the mountain. Fortunately, because he had a professional climbing tool, the Flying Claw, he didn't have much work to climb the mountain. Then, one by one, the rest of the people were hung from above.

When they climb to the top, they can clearly see the panoramic view of the col.

Seeing that this small col was full of military camps at this time, Yu Ren roughly estimated that there were at least two or three thousand people.

Yu Ren took out a simple telescope he had made earlier from his arms and looked down carefully. The barracks here are well arranged, and almost all the soldiers are young and strong. They are not like the ordinary Smelling Fragrance Sect team, and they have a variety of weapons, including hoes and shovels. Everyone here has a sword. Obviously a more combat-ready team.

Yu Ren was looking at it intently, and a familiar figure suddenly broke into his lens. It's a woman, and it's a beauty.

Yu Ren's heart ached. This is a woman who always makes him feel indebted - Yu Yuqian.

Then, he saw an old friend - Li Xianzhong.

Yu Ren was secretly strange. Why did these two people appear in the same place, it stands to reason that the two of them are enemies! This is the camp of the Wenxiang Sect, and Li Xianzhong, as the second generation of officials in the imperial court, should not appear in the barracks of this anti-thief under any circumstances. If he was captured, he had no rope on him.

This made Yu Ren feel more and more unreasonable.

More importantly, Yu Ren saw a trace of greed on Li Xianzhong's face. He couldn't help but feel uneasy about this former playboy. Although he knew that he would not have any results with Yu Yuqian now, and maybe she had already hated herself to the bone marrow now, but when he found that other men were approaching her, Yu Ren still couldn't help but want to stop her.

"Wait for me here. I'll go down and take a look. Yu Ren whispered to Sister Lu Yue and Ruolan on the side.

"No! It's too dangerous. Besides, it's all their people down here, how are you going to get there? Lu Yue firmly objected.

Yu Ren gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound. He knew that what Lu Yue said was right. The group of enemies in front of them are numerous, and most of them are elites, and if they are discovered, it will be a dead end.

Yu Ren stared hatefully at Li Xianzhong, who was staring at Yu Yuqian. He seemed to be deliberately currying favor with Yu Yuqian and took the initiative to talk to her, but Yu Yuqian looked like she was rejecting people thousands of miles away. This made Yu Ren feel a little relieved.

At this moment, Yu Ren saw two people who were not wrapped in red turbans come out of the barracks. It seems to be a father and son. The father and son were carrying two empty burdens and were walking out of the military tent next to Yu Yuqian and them. Yu Ren's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of a plan.

Without waiting to discuss with everyone, Yu Ren turned around and hurriedly ran down the mountain. The people in charge of protecting him were taken aback by his sudden move, especially Lu Yue. Fang just said that he was going to risk sneaking into the enemy's military camp, and then he hurried back again. Which tendon is wrong! Lu Yue followed behind Yu Ren and complained quietly.

"Our masters! It's this temper, don't be angry, county lord, you'll get used to it after a long time. Ruolan whispered in Lu Yue's ear.

Lu Yue suddenly heard Ruolan's "It's been a long time", it seemed that she had a deep meaning, and her face couldn't help but blush.

Several people followed Yu Ren and hurried down the mountain. I saw Yu Ren lurking in the grass by a path outside the valley. It's a long way from the valley mouth, and because of the turn, the view has been blocked by a forest.

Just when everyone didn't know Yu Ren's intention to do this, the voices of two men talking were heard in the distance. Listen to the voices, they are coming this way.

After a while, everyone saw that the two old men and young men who had appeared in the col just now were walking towards them without red turbans and carrying burdens.

Yu Ren gave Lu Yue a look.

Lu Yue understood, and without waiting for Yu Ren to give another order, she and Ruomei had already shot at the same time.

The two girls restrained the young and old pair at the same time with extremely fast techniques. Before the two men could utter a shout, they were clung to their necks by the cold sword.

Yu Ren ordered them to take the young and old couple into the nearby woods before interrogating them.

"Who are you? Why did it appear in the military camp of the Smelling Fragrance Sect? ”

"Great, great king, spare your life! The little and villain's name is Wang Defu, this is my son Lizhi. The old man, who was about fifty years old, stammered. And the young man named Lizhi was already speechless in fright at this time.

"Did you smell incense?" Lu Yue asked.

"W-What teach? I don't know, huh? The old man looked surprised, looking at his demeanor, he shouldn't have lied.

"Then, why did you just show up in that barracks?" Yu Ren asked.

"The villain doesn't know who they are! The villain is just a cook. It was a nephew of my family who asked me to cook for them. He said that they had a few girls there, and they had picky mouths, and they made me cook better. And let me never tell anyone about it.

So, I came in the morning with two loads of fresh vegetables. ”

"So, why did they let you go back again?" Yu Ren asked.

"They all said that the food I cooked was delicious, but I didn't bring enough food in the morning. So my nephew told me to go back and get it. The old man said.

Yu Ren nodded. He slowly took away the sword that Lu Yue put on the old man's neck, and said to him with a pleasant face. "Uncle Wang, look, how about I go home with you to pick up the food?"

The old man's frightened legs trembled. "No, don't dare!"

"Don't be afraid. I'm just trying to get into that barracks and find someone. I heard that one of my girls was caught by them. But I couldn't get in. So be it! You will treat me as if I were your son, and you are welcome. Someone asked, and you said that your son sprained his foot when he went back just now and couldn't come. That's why I called my distant nephew. How's that, that's okay, right? ”

The old man looked at Yu Ren and nodded timidly, but he didn't dare to speak.

"I'll go too. You say I'm your cousin's nephew...... Brother, that's it. Lu Yue wanted to talk about her niece. I suddenly remembered that I was wearing men's clothes.

"I'll go, I'll go!" Ruomei immediately followed suit.

Yu Ren shook his head. "No, I can't. If there are too many people, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Let's go with Lu Yue! You're here to stay, ready to answer. Also, send someone back and tell Master Li about our situation here. ”

Ruomei couldn't help but pout when she heard this. But she obeyed the order anyway. Although she is sometimes willful, in front of Yu Ren, she never dares to come nonsense.

After dark, Yu Ren and Lu Yue pretended to be distant relatives of Wang Laohan and followed him to the mountain pass where the Wenxiangjiao garrison was carrying their burdens.
