Yu Ren, who was pretending to be asleep, almost woke up when he heard this. But his heart trembled at the same time. He remembered that the little girl in front of him was still an uninformed girl, as simple as a piece of white paper. It was really inappropriate to tease her like this.

Thinking of this, Yu Ren quietly withdrew his hand, turned over, pretending to be asleep.

Lu Yue watched Yu Ren take his hand back, feeling relaxed and a little disappointed. She felt that she was expecting something in her heart, but she couldn't say it.

Seeing Yu Ren asleep, Lu Yue carefully looked at the man who got up. This was a hero who was extremely brave on the battlefield, but when he fell asleep at this time, he was no different from an ordinary person.

Looking at the face that had been deeply imprinted in his mind, Lu Yue gradually felt a little tenderness in her heart. She really wanted to keep looking at this face like this until the end of time.

Thinking of this, Lu Yue couldn't help but stand up. She wanted to have the man in front of her, but she didn't know how to have him, and she just felt a huge wave rolling in her heart.

Lu Yue gently picked up Yu Ren's hand and held him in the palm of her hand. She wanted to kiss it, but she didn't dare.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside, "It's time to go!"

Lu Yue was so scared that he quickly put Yu Ren's hand back on the bed, like a cat that was discovered by someone.

At this time, the shouts outside became louder and louder.

"It's time to go! Put out the fire!" Just one person shouted just now. At this moment, many people shouted. Yu Ren knew that he could no longer pretend to be asleep, so he had to sit up.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know either. When I ask the girl outside, I'll take a look." As he said that, Lu Yue shouted outside. "Xiao Qin, Xiao Qin."

A little maid who was just serving outside trotted in.

"Miss, what are the instructions?"

"Where is the fire outside?"

"I don't know, I'll go and take a look first."

Before Xiao Qin could finish his words, another maid had already rushed in.

"Princess, it's not good. The Cuizhuyuan caught fire."

Lu Yue stood up suddenly, "Cuizhuyuan? There are only a few rooms left here!" After that, Lu Yue pulled Yu Ren and was about to run out.

"What, what's wrong, I'm so anxious. I'm not wearing shoes yet!"

"Oh! My general, the fire in this Cuizhuyuan will soon burn us. At this time, I can't even care about my shoes."

Yu Ren was hurriedly pulled out of the yard by Lu Yue. Sure enough, he saw a large courtyard next to the small courtyard where they lived. Looking at the fire, it was really not something that could be extinguished in a short while.

"The weather has not been dry these days, why did you burn such a big fire for no reason!" Yu Ren said to himself.

No one paid attention to her words, everyone was busy putting out the fire. Dozens of male servants were constantly carrying buckets in and out, trying hard to put out the fire.

At this time, Ruolan and Ruomei also came out.

From a distance, the two of them saw Yu Ren and hurriedly ran towards him.

"General, are you okay?"

"It's okay!" Yu Ren was just talking, and a male servant ran past him with a bucket, suddenly his feet slipped and he fell down.

Yu Ren hurriedly reached out to help him, and suddenly saw a cold light flashing from the man's hand.

"Be careful!" Ruolan in the distance had also seen the dagger in the man's hand, but because she was too far away from Yu Ren at this time, there was no way.

Yu Ren had already made a gesture of helping others, and it was too late to stop the other party's dagger.

Seeing that the other party's dagger was about to pierce Yu Ren's chest, the male servant suddenly got kicked away with his knife. The dagger was only a few inches away and it touched Yu Ren's skin. But at this critical moment, someone rescued him in time.

Yu Ren never expected that some people in the royal palace wanted to assassinate him. He looked at Lu Yue gratefully.

But Lu Yue raised his chin to him, and the meaning seemed to be saying, "See it! What I said just now. If I hadn't followed you in a row, could you escape?"

Yu Ren was about to walk forward and see who the person who attacked him was. But Lu Yue stopped him.

"This is too dangerous. General, you can't go. Let's get out of here soon! There are too many servants here, too many people, too dangerous." Lu Yue said while hugging Yu Ren into a small courtyard.

At this time, Ruolan had also followed in.

"What happened just now?" Ruolan asked Lu Yue.

"Someone pretended to be a servant of the royal palace and wanted to assassinate the general in a mess! I guess it was probably done by those accomplices of the fragrance sect." After Lu Yue said that, he said to Ruolan, "Go and bring people. Let's take a good trial to see if he has any other accomplices lurking in the royal palace."

Ruolan was about to turn around when she saw Ruomei following in.

"No need to be tried. He is dead."

After saying that, Ruomei threw a dagger on the ground.

"This dagger not only cuts iron like mud, but also contains a huge poison. As long as you cut a little skin, you can immediately block blood."

Yu Ren was startled, "It's so powerful!" As he said that, he couldn't help looking down at his chest. Fortunately, his chest was fine, but he cut a small hole in his clothes.

The fire was quickly extinguished. When King Lu heard that Yu Ren was assassinated in his mansion, he was also surprised. He called several housekeepers over, scolded them, and asked them to find out how the assassin got involved in the prince.

Soon, the problem was found out. This man was disguised as a vegetable farmer who delivered vegetables to the mansion. The fire was also deliberately released by one of his companions, with the purpose of deliberately creating chaos so as to find an opportunity to assassinate Yu Ren.

While Yu Ren cursed several housekeepers, he asked them to strictly check the people outside the palace entering and leaving the prince.

After a mess all night, Yu Ren couldn't get a good sleep in the end.

Seeing that Dongfang was already white, Yu Ren hurriedly put on his clothes and came to the top of the city. He had a premonition that these incense-smelling scholars would launch a fierce attack on Yanzhou City today. Because they had lost all their means and had only one way to attack.

Sure enough, just after Chen Zheng passed, the enemies outside the city carried the ladder in groups and rushed towards the city with bamboo bridges. On this side, they no longer fought on one side, but attacked the city at the same time.

After Yu Ren and King Lu’s emergency preparations over the past few days, Yanzhou City has been fully prepared. Yu Ren is not very worried when facing the fierce attack of the Winter Sorcerer. These Winter Sorcerers do not have any heavy weapons to attack the city, but rely on the large number of people to carry out the tactics of the sea of ​​people. However, such consumption often involves the enemy killing and injuring ten or even dozens of people, so that a soldier in the city can be killed or injured.

However, these incense-smelling scholars were really not afraid of death. After several days of hard fighting, thousands of corpses were already lying in the city of Yanzhou, but they still had no intention of retreating. Instead, they attacked more and more fiercely.

Especially Liu Ziming's branch in the North City. Among the enemies attacking from all sides, the enemy in the North City is the most fierce, the soldiers guarding the city also suffered the most casualties, and the city was damaged the most.

However, the problem was not just that. On the ninth day of the battle, Yu Ren discovered that the small explosive pack of the sharpest weapon he ordered to make had been used up. The arrows in the arsenal were also consumed very quickly. Seeing that reinforcements were still far away, most of their arrows had been consumed.

If they continue to fight like this, it won’t take long to defend the city with stones.

After convening a meeting of several generals, everyone thought that they should save the use of arrows and try to put the enemy closer and then shoot.

After such adjustments, the speed of loss of arrows has indeed slowed down a lot, but at the same time, the daily casualty rate of soldiers guarding the city began to rise.

On the 23rd day of perseverance, although Yu Ren recruited more than 3,000 new young soldiers from the city and mobilized many people to help, the people guarding the city still felt very tight.

On this day, after repelling the last round of enemy attacks, Yu Ren urgently summoned all his generals to meet at the Lu Palace.

"I don't know when the reinforcements from the court will arrive. If we continue to waste this, we will be very dangerous. Sooner or later, we will be out of ammunition and food. Let's think of a solution." Yu Ren said straight to the point.

"The other enemies are easy to deal with, but the subordinates of Liu Ziming from the North City are the most difficult to fight. Almost half of the casualties of our soldiers are injured in the North City. The arrows and stones that defend the city every day are also damaged by more than half of the losses of the North City.

If we can deal with this group of people in the North City, we don’t have to worry.” Liang Zongyi was the first to stand up and said.
