Zhao Yu and his entourage, quickly stepped up, entered the Yumen Pass in the east, and there were no waves.

Because of the time spent in the Kunlun Mountains, the itinerary became more and more urgent, and finally when the agreed date was approaching, the group met Zhuang Zheng and others who arrived first in Ganzhou.

Before he had time to rest for a while, Zhao Yu grabbed Zhuang Zheng and asked about the latest situation in the Central Plains.

Zhuang Zheng frowned and said: "The situation is very bad, the Red Turban Army of the South and North Zuo has been wiped out by the Yuan Court, and Liu Futong's Northern Expedition Army of the Third Route has also been defeated, and it is trapped in Anfeng." Xu Shouhui and Sichuan Shaanxi Ming Yuzhen have a bad relationship. Zhang Shicheng in Suzhou and Guozhen in southern Zhejiang all surrendered to the Yuan Court, and Zhang Shicheng was even awarded the title of Tai Lieutenant, and he will use troops against Xuzhou in the near future, and he will defeat Liu Futong's northern barrier!"

After repeated bad news, Rao is Zhao Yu has been overjoyed and angry over the years, and after hearing the words, he still felt dizzy, and his steps became vain. The original good situation of resisting the Yuan Dynasty was reversed in a few months. Not to mention the friction and fighting between the various departments of the Red Turban Army, just the rebels from all walks of life were either surrendered or exterminated, and there was only a little spark left in the blazing prairie fire in an instant!

Taking a deep breath and calming down, Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "How is Chuzhou now?"

Zhuang Zheng replied: "The camp of the Jiqing Yuan army and Zhang Shicheng's army gathered the army in Danyang, and the army suffered two small setbacks, and the army's heart was not stable, Xu Da has already led the army to temporarily retreat to Hezhou. As for the succession of the Sect Leader by the General Banner Envoy, I have announced all the departments of the Red Turban Army in the world through the secret camp for the first time. The reactions of various departments were different, and Ming Yuzhen had already entered Lanzhou, ready to welcome the sect leader. But Liu Futong remained silent, as for Xu Shouhui, he was self-reliant according to Huguang and entered the throne. He called himself the emperor of Tianwan and was no longer controlled by the general altar. The day before yesterday, Xu Da sent a message, hoping that the sect leader could immediately return to Chuzhou to sit in the town, and take advantage of the fact that the Yuan army in the north was tired and unable to rescue after a long battle, and gathered heavy troops to overcome Jiqing in one fell swoop and sweep away the decline. ”

Zhao Yu nodded, didn't even enter Ganzhou City, so he rested outside the city for a while, and then immediately led everyone to Ganliang Road and went straight to Lanzhou.

For Xu Shouhui's self-reliance. Zhao Yu was not surprised. The position of the head of the Ming Sect has been vacant for a long time. Although the Red Turban Army was nominally controlled by the General Altar, in fact they formed their own factions and did not belong to each other. At this delicate time, anyone should be the head of the church. will stimulate the contradiction of the already detached appearance. If the new leader is a puppet. The ministries can still hold it. Void and grievance for a while. But he has always been extremely strong, Xu Shouhui was forced to be helpless, and he had to stand on his own.

Fortunately, the Red Turban Army was hit by an unprecedented blow. His succession as the leader of the Ming Sect has reduced a lot of resistance. Now the Red Turban Army is still complete, Liu Futong is too busy to take care of himself, Xu Shouhui is unruly, and Ming Yuzhen is in one place, without a unified tacit understanding. Otherwise, now it should be the generals of the Red Turban Army who greet him in unison and force himself to abdicate. Because the Chuzhou army is now sharp, if it wins the name of righteousness again, it will be even more unstoppable.

On Ganliang Road, the road is depressed and there are few pedestrians. Zhao Yu walked all the way, frowning and silent. Everyone only said that he was worried about Chuzhou, and they didn't dare to come forward to talk and disturb his thoughts.

On this day, when he came to a fork in the road, Zhao Yu suddenly pointed to the intersection in front of him and asked, "Where do these two roads lead?"

Yang Xiao stepped forward to look at it for a moment and said, "One goes to Jingtai, crosses the river loop, and can go to Lanzhou, but the road is farther." The other is through Yongdeng and goes straight to Lanzhou. ”

Zhao Yu pondered for a long time before pointing the horsewhip and saying, "Let's take a road and go to Jingtai." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiao was slightly stunned, and couldn't understand why Zhao Yu chose a long journey. However, he didn't say anything, and ordered everyone to turn to another intersection.

After traveling for more than ten miles, Zhao Yu summoned Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng to the front and said, "I have some personal matters to deal with, you first lead the team to Lanzhou and wait for me for a day." ”

Yang Xiao and Yin Tianzheng both asked, "What is the important matter for the sect leader to deal with?"

Zhao Yu was about to answer, but a group of knights suddenly rushed on the road ahead, stopped on the road far away, and shouted: "The person who came is the Ming Sect Sect Leader Zhao and his party?"

After hearing this, everyone in the Ming Sect was a little puzzled, and looked at those knights, but they were very unfamiliar. Zhao Yu stepped forward and said loudly: "I am Zhao Wuxian, who are you?"

The knight in front of him arched his hand and said, "The cheap name is not enough to worry about, I have been waiting for Sect Master Zhao here for a long time on the orders of my master." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you would wait for me in Yongdeng?"

The knight said respectfully: "My master said that if you haven't waited for Sect Leader Zhao in Yongdeng after ten days, then Sect Leader Zhao must be a heroic figure who doesn't pity the red face and loves the country, and we will rush to Jingtai to wait for Sect Leader Zhao." ”

After listening to this answer, the others of the Ming Sect were puzzled, and Yang Qingdi was also extremely curious, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yu smiled bitterly and said astringently: "It's them, who kidnapped Miss Zhou." ”

"Now that you know, why do you ......?"

Yang Qingdi's expression changed, and he blurted out, and when he saw Zhao Yu's bitter expression, he asked after a change of heart: "Another woman?"

Zhao Yu hesitated slightly, and then nodded and said: "It is the county lord of the Ruyang Royal Mansion of the Yuan Court, Min Min Temur, and the Han name is Zhao Min." ”

Yang Qingdi took a deep breath before softly saying, "It's her?"

Zhao Yu's chest was like a block, and he said in a deep voice: "Sister Qingdi, I ......"

"Needless to say, I believe you this time. Go early and come back early!" Yang Qingdi forced himself to squeeze out a smile and led the horse to retreat to the rear.

Zhao Yu saw Yang Qingdi's slightly trembling shoulders, and knew that she had misunderstood herself. The reason why he took Jingtai was because he considered that Zhao Min would return to the Central Plains first, and he might have made arrangements that were not conducive to the people of the Ming Sect, and he didn't want to lead everyone into the urn, so he chose a side road, but there was no reverie in his heart.

However, it was difficult to explain anything now, he called Yang Xiao and the others, and ordered: "You guys set up camp near the left, and I will return in a few hours." Remember to spread the scouts widely, and if there is any change, immediately lead the troops to Lanzhou to meet Ming Yuzhen, and don't linger any longer! ”

Yang Xiao and the others knew that Zhao Yu was extremely skilled and ordinary people couldn't keep him, so they nodded and said, "The sect should be more careful. ”

Zhao Yu glanced back at Yang Qingdi, who was slightly sad, and then pulled the reins and said to the knights: "Go forward and lead the way!"

The knights in that group didn't say much more, and rushed straight to the way Mingjiao and the others came, and Zhao Yu led the horse to follow.

Returning to the fork in the road and turning onto another road, they went more than ten miles past Yongdeng, and after a few more miles, the knights turned their horses and headed towards a dirt road. Without a twist, a manor surrounded by green water appeared in front of him, and one of the knights turned around and said, "Sect Master Zhao, we have arrived." ”

"Uh, has it already arrived?"

When Zhao Yu was in a trance, when he heard this, his shoulders trembled, his qi suddenly condensed, and the horsewhip in his hand was stirred into powder by the sudden lifting of the true qi! (To be continued......)
