Chapter 339: Protecting the Calf
Liu Yurong's face suddenly turned to ashes. Tears hung from his face unconsciously.
"This can't be, Daddy, you lied to me on purpose, right?"
Liu Ziming shook his head slightly. "I know that debts always have to be paid. That's why I haven't told you about it because I'm afraid. However, I also knew that I could not keep it a secret. If I don't say it today, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to know your background again. ”
After Liu Ziming finished speaking, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms. "This is the swaddling clothes you were wrapped around when I carried you out. Your father is Wan Li's sixteen-year-old jinshi, named Huang Jian. When you go to the household department in Beijing, you should be able to find out your origins and backgrounds. ”
When Liu Yurong heard this, her heart was completely dead.
At the beginning, she also reported some hopes, hoping that Liu Ziming deliberately made up this story because she wanted them to go quickly. But when she saw the little cloth that her father had taken out of his arms. She knew that all of this was true.
"Why is this happening? Why? Liu Yurong didn't take the piece of cloth in her father's hand, but rushed out of the cave screaming.
Seeing that his daughter was retreating from the cave, Liu Ziming did not call her. He handed the cloth to Cao Wenzhao. "Rong'er is emotionally unstable now, Wen Zhao, you go follow her, don't let anything happen to her."
Cao Wenzhao agreed, took the cloth in Liu Ziming's hand, and chased Liu Yurong behind.
After listening to Master's story, Yu Yuqian was also extremely nervous.
It wasn't until Senior Sister and Cao Wenzhao were gone that Yu Yufu dared to ask in a whisper, "Master, what about me?" ”
Liu Ziming glanced at his youngest disciple, his eyes were full of kindness. "You, along with Yudie and Yuan Qian, are all real orphans. I picked it up on my way out of Beijing.
I'm sorry, but Master doesn't know your background. ”
When Yu Yuqian heard this, a relaxed expression appeared on her face. And Huang Yudie, who was on the side, suddenly heard the master mention Lu Yuanqian's name, and her heart ached again.
"Let's go!" Otherwise, it will be too late. Liu Ziming urged.
Huang Yudie's heart tightened, and then she thought of the urgency of the time in front of her. "Xiaoqian, you carry the master on your back. I'll cut you off. ”
When Huang Yudie said this, she quickly drew her sword and guarded the not wide opening.
Yu Yuqian glanced at Yu Ren, who was standing aside and had not moved, and was about to step forward to carry the master. Liu Ziming stopped her.
"No, no." Before Liu Ziming's words were finished, a trace of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"I've taken poison. Hurry up, let's go! ”
When Huang Yudie heard this, she was shocked! She hurriedly turned her head and saw that after her master had said this, she couldn't hold on any longer, opened her mouth and spat out a large pool of black blood and threw herself on the ground.
Yu Yuqian screamed, "Master! And he pounced.
But Liu Ziming raised a hand with difficulty and stopped Yu Yuqian, who wanted to come over.
"Let's go!" Liu Ziming's voice, hoarse and low, seemed to gather all the last strength in his body.
"No!" Yu Yuqian wanted to rush forward, but she was afraid that as soon as she touched her master, he would fall, so she could only stand in place and howl in pain.
At this time, Huang Yudie's tears burst out uncontrollably, but she didn't notice it. In the end, she has experienced more things than Yu Yuqian, and seeing such a scene, she knows that the master has an iron heart. The most important thing now is to get the little sister away as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Huang Yudie rushed forward, holding a sword in one hand and holding Yu Yuqian's hand in the other, and ran out.
Yu Ren didn't know who this group of people came, and he didn't want others to see him and Huang Yudie together, so he also followed behind the two and quickly withdrew from the cave.
The exit to this cave is in another wooded area. Out of the woods, you are not far from the shore of the lake.
The three of them walked out of the woods, Huang Yudie did not stop, pulled Yu Yuqian and ran to the lake. Yu Ren didn't follow anymore, because he knew that he still couldn't keep them. Instead, let yourself arrange a way out for them in the future. Yu Yuqian is okay, but Huang Yudie's proud character, she will never accept her kindness.
Yu Ren stood at the edge of the forest, watching the two flee towards the lake, and he saw the corner of a small boat peeking out of the lush aquatic weeds. It seems that they should have been prepared.
Huang Yudie dragged her sister and fled to the lake, and was about to pull the boat in the water and grass, but saw a large number of boats suddenly appear on the lake. These boats were also fishing boats, but the people on board were not fishermen, but officers and soldiers in battle armor.
"Stop, who's who?" On the fishing boat, a man who looked like a military general shouted at Huang Yudie and the two.
Seeing that the enemy had blocked the lake, Huang Yudie grabbed her sister's hand and ran back.
Yu Ren was also taken aback when he saw more than a dozen boats suddenly appear on the lake. These ships were not their ships, and he did not know any of the people on board.
The three of them fled to one place, and chased another group of people out of the woods. The first one to come out was Ruolan, which made Yu Ren's heart relax a little. However, following Ruolan and them were a group of no less than 100 officers and soldiers. The person who led the team was another unfamiliar face.
"General, are you alright?" Ruolan asked as soon as she saw Yu Ren. The others didn't wait for Yu Ren's orders, so they surrounded Huang Yudie and Yu Yuqian.
And the group of officers and soldiers who followed closely behind them surrounded Yu Ren and them on another floor.
"Forget it, they've turned to the light. Don't be them. Yu Ren said to Ruolan.
Ruolan glanced at Yu Ren and then at Yu Yuqian. Although she was a little reluctant, she put down the sword in her hand. And Ruomei can't.
"General, these two women are important criminals of the court. You can't show favoritism just because they're beautiful! Ruomei shouted.
Yu Ren glared at the little girl with some embarrassment. "When did you see me for favoritism?"
Ruomei saw Yu Ren glaring at her, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.
"They have indeed surrendered. I promised to let them go. Liu Ziming, the main culprit of the Wenxiang Sect, is dead, and they are not the main culprits, why can't they be let go? ”
Before Yu Ren's words were finished, more than a dozen fishing boats on the lake also docked.
"The anti-thief of the Smelling Fragrance Sect is here!" Someone shouted, rushing this way.
After a while, they surrounded Yu Ren and them on another layer.
Yu Ren couldn't help frowning when he saw that there were more and more officers and soldiers.
"Don't get me wrong, they have turned from darkness to light. I promised them that I would let them live. Yu Ren said to the officer who looked like a leader.
The black-haired officer snorted, "You're in the same league as them, don't we know?" What are you pretending to be with me here!
Our general said that all the people on this island are thieves, and they must be killed and not a single one will be left. ”
"Bold!" Before the officer could finish speaking, Ruomei angrily reprimanded.
"Do you know who you're talking to right now?"
The black-haired officer was taken aback by Ruomei's reprimand, and when he turned his head and saw that it was just a little girl, he relieved himself again.
"This is personally appointed by King Lu, General Yu Renyu, the general of Yanzhou, who was ordered by the chief soldier to come here to suppress the thieves. Don't get out of the way yet. ”
When the black-haired officer heard this, he burst out laughing.
"Little girl, look at what you said as if it were true. I haven't heard of General Yu. I only know that before I came, the governor made a special confession that the thieves on this island are very cunning, and they may pretend to be officials of the imperial court, so I must not believe it, just kill them and throw them into the lake to feed the fish.
It seems that Lord Zhao guessed really accurately! You really want to pretend to be generals! ”
The black-haired officer laughed smugly again.
When Yu Ren heard this, he was taken aback. "What did Zhao Yan say to you?"
Yu Ren already had a vague premonition that something was wrong. This Zhao Yan seems to want to borrow a knife to kill people, and wants to take advantage of the chaos and kill himself here! Anyway, when the time comes, they will kill all the people on this island, and no one will know.
Even if he knew, he could still deduce that this was his general, ignorant and wrong, and had nothing to do with him.
The black-haired officer smiled coldly at Yu Ren. "The governor said that if anyone pretends to be a general, he will be the first to kill him.
This time, boy, you've miscalculated! ”
