Chapter 251: Reappearance of Discord
They are all old people from the Xu family, and they are the ones who have watched Xu Keming grow up since childhood. They know very well what Xu Keming is. Therefore, they believe that if Xu Keming really wants to take charge of the Xu family at this time, it will not take long for them to develop into today's situation. The Xu group, which has finally developed to this situation, will collapse soon. Therefore, they strongly oppose Xu Keming as the boss.
Now that Xu Qian said that Yu Ren was actually in power, they were relieved. So no one raised any objections.
In this way, the first point proposed by Yu Ren was considered to be passed. Then the second point was.
"Why do you want to escape?" someone asked.
Many of these people have lived on Nansha Island for decades, and now they suddenly say that they will give up Nansha and go to other places. Naturally, they are unwilling to do so.
Yu Ren shook his head. I don’t have time to explain to you slowly now. I can only tell you that if everyone doesn’t leave, they will be afraid they won’t be able to leave. Within three days, the army of officers and soldiers will surround Nansha Island. This time, I’m afraid there will be no good things like the last time, and they can easily defeat them.
Since everyone trusts me and lets me take power for the time being, I will be responsible for everyone. If you believe me, do what I said.
Huang Ji'an, Yang Changqing and others responded together after hearing Yu Ren's words. "Yes, yes, we all listen to Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu has always been predicting things like a god. He said we should withdraw, so we should withdraw. Go and pack up your things." After that, Huang Ji'an and Yang Changqing took a large group of people away respectively.
Liu Long and his men stood there without moving.
Xu Qian walked forward, "Uncle, since I said that Mr. Yu is temporarily in power, you have no objection, so you should listen to Mr. Yu now. You should take them to pack up your things quickly!"
Liu Long glanced at Xu Keming and saw that he had no objection, so he took his brother away.
As soon as everyone left, they saw Li Ying and a few people hurried in.
"You are here!" Yu Ren was not surprised by Li Ying's arrival. Xu Xinsu was also a person with great kindness to them. If he had not fully supported himself to save Li Ying in Hirado, they would have been separated from the two places until now! Therefore, in the hearts of Yu Ren and Li Ying, they have always been grateful to Xu Xinsu. This is why everyone had been asking him to be the boss just now, but he refused again and again.
In his heart, Yu Ren always felt that if he became the leader of the Xu family at this time, he would have taken advantage of others' danger. Xu Xinsu treated him as his own son during his lifetime, but after he died, he took the position that should belong to his son. In terms of conscience, Yu Ren could not accept that he did this. Later, after listening to Huang Ji'an's narration, he learned that the assassin was probably sent by Li Dan, and he felt even more guilty about Xu Xinsu. It was at this moment that Yu Ren secretly made a decision in his heart that he must assist Xu Keming in the future and grow the Xu family. Only in this way can he be the dead Xu Xinsu be right.
Li Ying hurried in. She kowtowed three times in front of Xu Xinsu's mourning hall, and then said to Xu Keming and Xu Qian beside her, "Hurry up and ask your brothers to pack up and withdraw from Nansha Island. When I came, I just received a tip. The officers and soldiers were dispatching a large number of navy troops from Nanjing, but I was afraid that they would form an encirclement of Nansha soon."
After hearing Li Ying's words, Xu Keming's face turned pale. Although he had heard Yu Ren say that the officers and soldiers might surround them, it was just Yu Ren's guess, and Xu Keming could still remain calm. At this time, Li Ying's place was confirmed, and Xu Keming suddenly panicked.
"Sister Ying, brother-in-law, what should we do now?"
Yu Ren looked at Xu Keming's panic and shook his head secretly. This kid really didn't have the heroic spirit of his father, and Yu Ren couldn't help but worry. He was really afraid that he would not be able to help this realistic version of A Dou. But Yu Ren also knew that he could never let go, otherwise, how could he be able to defeat the dead Xu Xinsu?
So Yu Ren walked up and patted Xu Keming on the shoulder. "Don't worry! Although the officers and soldiers are coming, they are crowded and they must gather, and it will take at least three days to arrive. We have time to retreat. The key is Uncle San."
"What's wrong with Uncle Third?" Xu Keming heard Yu Ren suddenly mention Xu Hai, but he didn't know what he meant.
Yu Ren shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm afraid that the third uncle has already gone to the island at this time. Xu Qian, please tell Liu Long and Huang Ji'an quickly, so that everyone can move faster, as much as possible. Just bring money, rice, grain and daily necessities with you, and try not to bring other things that you can't bring.
At noon tomorrow, the fleet will set off on time.
Everyone is leaving.”
After Yu Rengang said that, Huang Ji'an ran in. "Grandpa Yu."
"What's wrong?" Yu Ren saw that Huang Ji'an looked a little panicked, and knew that something must have been wrong.
"The second in commander is back!"
Yu Ren glanced at Xu Keming, and Xu Keming was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other.
"Where is the person?" Xu Keming asked. Seeing that Yu Ren would predict everything in advance, he gradually gained greater confidence in Yu Ren, and his heart was gradually relieved.
"Outside. The second leader is summoning brothers."
Yu Ren didn't say anything, but he had already had a premonition that something was wrong.
"Let's go, let's go and welcome the second leader." After saying that, Yu Ren asked Xu Keming to walk in front, and he followed Xu Keming right behind him.
Not long after walking, Yu Ren heard Xu Hai's voice coming from afar, "Brothers, what are you doing? Although my elder brother unfortunately left, I still have me! Don't worry, as long as I, Xu Hai, are there, you will never let anyone make things difficult for your brothers.
Lord Xiong just sent someone to my place. He had already told me that he didn't know about my elder brother's death. He specifically asked me to return to the island to comfort everyone and not panic. Although my elder brother was dead, the court's attitude towards us was still the same as before. As long as we did not take the initiative to cause trouble, the court would not use troops to us.
After my elder brother went there, I will take over as a guerrilla general and lead everyone to continue to serve the court."
At this time, someone asked Xu Hai loudly, "What the second leader means, then we don't have to leave here?"
"Of course!" Xu Hai said affirmatively.
"Don't believe the second leader. Miss Li just now brought news that the navy of the officers and soldiers had gathered in Nanjing and was preparing to encircle us. If we stayed on the island, we could only be prisoners of officers and soldiers. Perhaps, they might not necessarily kill us. But it would be impossible to live a life of freedom in the future!"
The person who interrupted was nothing but Yu Ren.
When everyone saw Yu Ren saying this, they hesitated again, not knowing who they should believe.
When Xu Hai saw Yu Ren and others, he hurriedly walked forward. "Nephew Yu Xian, you are here too! Just so happens, this is the letter of appointment given to you by Lord Xiong. Lord Xiong has already submitted a letter of protection to the court and promoted you to the guerrilla general of Shaoxing, so that you can take office immediately!" After saying that, Xu Hai took out a piece of yellow silk from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Ren.
After hearing Xu Hai's words, Xu Keming opened his mouth and looked at Yu Ren, and suddenly had no idea. At this time, Yu Ren was his backbone. If Yu Ren accepted this appointment from the court, he would have to be imprisoned by the officers and soldiers.
Everyone around also looked at Yu Ren. They were not as panicked as Xu Keming. After all, they had no conflicts with Yu Ren. Whether Yu Ren continued to be the pirate head or the guerrilla general for the court, they still used them as usual.
Yu Ren took the yellow silk, glanced at everyone, and then threw it heavily on the ground.
Xu Hai was surprised. "Yu Ren, you... this is an edict issued by the emperor himself!"
Yu Ren stepped on the yellow silk and said to Xu Hai. "I know this is the emperor's edict. However, he did not mean that the emperor. The emperor was only sixteen years old and had just ascended the throne for less than half a year. How could he think of a little person like me? I'm afraid that the emperor has never even heard of my name.
I know that this must be what Xiong Wencan meant. However, Xiong Wencan is still the murderer who killed the boss. When I, Yu Ren, took us in with my brothers, I was desperate. Now, the boss has been killed by this dog official surnamed Xiong, how can I accept his title of official!
Besides, this person named Xiong was named an official for me. Is it a kind thing to be honest?
He was just afraid that if you were here, you would not be able to deal with your brothers on the island. As long as I left, you would be more at ease to lead the army to encircle us brothers.
Second Chief, am I right?"
