Yu Ren felt a few drops of water dripping from his head in his sleep. He thought it was raining, so he quickly opened his eyes. It turned out that a little bird stepped on the dewdrops on the leaves above his head.

Yu Ren opened his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky. It was probably Chen Shi. He quickly got up from the ground and stretched his waist. After further debating around, Yu Ren couldn't help but laugh.

I saw a small blue brick corner in the woods not far ahead of me. Last night, I searched Wen Taoyuan, who had not found it for the middle of the night, but I didn't expect it to be so close to me. Yu Ren patted the dust on his body, tidied up his clothes, and walked towards the blue wall.

I don’t know if Li Ying is still in Wentaoyuan at this time, Yu Ren thought. But it doesn’t matter. Even if Li Ying is not there, as long as he finds Qu Jing, he will definitely bring himself to Li Ying. Since seeing Li Ying once in Lizhuang last time, Yu Ren has not seen her again.

Intuition told Yu Ren that Li Ying must be angry. Otherwise, she would never have seen her once for so long. However, Yu Ren didn't know what the problem was. In a vague way, Yu Ren guessed that it should be related to Zhao Rui. But Yu Ren thought that he and Zhao Rui were innocent. So, he wanted to find Li Ying and explain it to her in person.

Yu Ren was walking, thinking about how to explain to Li Ying if he saw him for a while, but suddenly he saw a scene that unexpectedly surprised him.

Wen Tao Courtyard in front of him is no longer what he looked like when he came last time. Half of the tall gatehouse collapsed. Through the collapsed courtyard wall, you can directly see the mess in the courtyard. None of the houses is intact. There is a mess everywhere, and there are traces of fire in some places.

Among the ruins of a large wall, there were many broken swords and large pieces of dried blood among the rubble.

Yu Ren was completely stunned by the scene in front of him. He didn't know what happened. Looking at this scene, it seemed that this place had experienced a fierce battle not long ago.

But who would have done it? Is it the government government not like it? If it were the government government, it would be impossible that there would be no news in Hangzhou. Why didn’t Cao An and others mention this matter to him? If it was not the government government, the only possibility was the Xu family.

On the southeast coast, except for the government, the only Xu family has the strength to compete with the Li family. However, why did Xu Xinsu do this? Yu Ren can't figure it out.

Although Yu Ren and Xu Xinsu had never met, he still heard something about him from others. It is said that this person has a gentle personality and is a versatile person, but he is not strong in his own opinion and a little weak in character. Therefore, he lacks some domineeringness.

Every time I discuss things with Li Ying, most of them are Li Ying's proposals, and he nods.

How could such a person suddenly strike such a blow to the Li family? Yu Ren didn't believe it. However, if it weren't for Xu Xinsu's actions, who would have such strength to openly oppose the Li family and destroy their most important stronghold in Hangzhou.

Just when Yu Ren was thinking hard that he could not bear fruit, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from a distance. Yu Ren was startled and hid behind a big tree.

I saw three detectives with swords coming from the bottom of the mountain. These three walked and chatted.

"Second brother, you said that the magistrate asked us to wander around this abandoned yard early in the morning. What's the use? If you want to catch pirates, you can send a boat to catch them at sea! Can pirates still run to our city?" a thin black-faced detective complained.

Another tall and small-eyed constable said, "Lao Wu, you don't understand this! Do you think this is just an ordinary wasteland? You are wrong, I heard from the captain. This was originally a stronghold of the pirate giants in our Hangzhou city. A few days ago, I heard that there was a sudden internal fight in their homes, and as a result, the place was destroyed.

The prefect asked our brothers to patrol this area to let us notice the people who were approaching. When they saw the suspicious person, they took them back to their house.

The prefect said that since this place was an important stronghold for the pirates, although it was abandoned a few days ago, it is inevitable that the pirates with poor knowledge will come here. Therefore, our mission is to capture these pirates who are delivered to the door. You know!"

When Yu Ren heard this, he couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. Fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly. If these three detectives saw him, there would be big trouble.

After the three constables left, Yu Ren quickly slipped down the mountain quietly. Although he wanted to know what happened to Wentao Courtyard, he did not dare to find the Li family members for the time being. Besides Wentao Courtyard, he really didn't know what contact points the Li family had in Hangzhou.

What made Yu Ren feel a little relieved was that although Wen Taoyuan had just experienced a battle, there were no dead people and no newly buried corpses were seen nearby. This shows that there were not many casualties. Yu Ren believed that with Li Ying's wit and so many brave men under her. Even if someone attacked and wanted to escape unscathed, it was not difficult. Therefore, Yu Ren was not too worried about Li Ying's safety.

It was already noon when Yu Ren returned to the inn, and Zhao Rui was sending people to look for him. When he suddenly saw him coming back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey! You are not a child anymore, so why don't you say hello when you go out. Everyone thought something had happened to you!" When Yun'er saw Yu Ren coming back, she couldn't help but complain.

"I'm sorry, I'm worried about me. I woke up early in the morning, so I walked out and walked around. Seeing that everyone hadn't gotten up, I didn't say anything." Yu Ren lied.

"Go out for a walk? You're so light. Don't you know how much Li Xianzhong and the others hate you now? Are you not afraid that they will harm you secretly? You are not convinced by saying that you are ignorant!" Yun'er is like this, and she is unforgivable. Even if she is an idol like Yu Ren, she is no exception. However, this also shows that they were really anxious just now.

"Okay OK! It's good to come back, it's good to come back! However, Brother Yu is better not to be alone next time. I heard that Li Xianzhong put down his words before leaving, saying that he wanted to make Brother Yu look good. Although his words are probably just to save face, we must be careful!" Zhao Rui came over to smooth things over and said.

"I understand." In front of Zhao Rui, for some reason, Yu Ren often had the illusion that he was a child.

Two days later, a large number of people were surrounded by a clearing in Wushan Square.

Yu Ren and Zhao Rui were also among them. A hot air balloon was placed in the center of the square. Coal was burning in the brazier in the balloon, and the balloon basket was temporarily tied to the three wooden pillars nailed to the ground with a rope. Yu Ren stood beside the hot air balloon and whispered to the onlookers.

"My friends, you probably haven't seen this thing! This thing is called a hot air balloon, which I and several friends have recently developed. The magic of it is that it can take us to fly into the sky like birds and down again.

Originally, we made this thing just to fulfill a wish and realize a dream. However, it was too expensive to study this thing, and we wanted to continue to study better aircraft. So, now I took it out and I wanted to take it to the sky to see it. Each person costs ten taels of silver each time, and we guarantee that he will fly in the sky for half an hour."

The crowd of onlookers made a commotion, and no one had ever heard of it. There was something that could bring people to heaven. However, no one believed that this seemingly weird thing could really bring people to heaven.

Some people accused Yu Ren of bragging on the spot. There were also many people who recognized Yu Ren as the one who competed with Wansong Academy on the day of the Donglin Party and the Wansong Academy, so they had a group of supporters.

Seeing that the crowd around him suddenly started to make a noise, Yu Ren signaled everyone to calm down. Then he said to everyone, "I know everyone doesn't believe me very much. It doesn't matter, you can't blame you. As the saying goes: hearing is false, seeing is true. Now I will control the hot air balloon and perform an air trip with one of my friends."

After saying that, Yu Rendang first stepped into the bamboo basket of the hot air balloon. Then, he signaled to Zhao Rui next to him.
