After coming out of the pine forest, Yu Ren did not go back, but took Lu Yue to leave Changdao Village directly.

After meeting with everyone at the foot of the mountain, Yu Ren briefly told everyone about the situation of Changdao Village and the grudges between Zhang Pan and Yao Wenguang.

"Yao Wenguang really deserves to be killed. Even if we don't kill him like this, someone will sooner or later." Ruolan was very angry after hearing Yu Ren's remarks.

Li Zhaoji stroked his long beard with his hand and sat on the big tree. His long beard lost most of his long beard in the fight with the Scented Sect yesterday, leaving only a few strands, but his habit of stroking his beards still remained.

"But he is a disciple of Zhao Shangshu! If we kill him, Zhao Shangshu will blame him in the future, I am afraid we will not be able to bear it!"

Yu Ren waved his hand, "This, Lord Li, don't worry. I will bear this matter alone, and I will guarantee that I will not implicate Lord."

Li Zhaoji's face turned red. "I'm not afraid of taking responsibility. But even if we decided to kill him, we don't have any soldiers in our hands now, and Yao Wenguang has three or four thousand soldiers guarding the city. He closed the city gate. We can't even get in, so how can we kill him?"

"Mr. Li doesn't have to worry about this. As long as you lend me your seal for a few days, I promise to bring Yao Wenguang's head back."

Li Zhaoji stood up with a big knife, "It's better for General Yu to go together! After all, everyone is for the court and for the emperor, I, Li Zhaoji, shouldn't be surprised and let you take risks. I just don't know what General Yu has to do?"

Yu Ren was naturally happy to see that Li Zhaoji was willing to take the initiative to work with them. At least in this way he would no longer have to find someone to pretend to be him. Using fake is often much more troublesome than using real ones.

"I have already taken care of this matter, but there are some details that need to be done according to the opportunity." After saying that, Yu Ren held his ear in Li Zhaoji's ear and told his plan.

"This method is good! Good!" Li Zhaoji said while being excited and he was about to set off.

"Mr. Li, where are you going?" Ruolan asked from the side.

"Of course I'm going to Taizhou." Li Zhaoji said.

"My sir, don't you see what time it is now! Taizhou is only more than ten miles away, and it takes us less than an hour to ride a horse. Now is the time of a talented man! Who will open the door for us when we arrive in Taizhou in the middle of the night?

Now that Shandong is in chaos, don’t say you are just a general, even if you are the chief minister of the cabinet, Yao Wenguang will not open the city gate for you. It’s better to wait until dawn before setting off!”

Li Zhaoji put down the whip embarrassedly. "Miss Ruolan thought carefully. OK, then we will wait until dawn before leaving."

After a night of rest, Yu Ren and his group were full of energy. When they arrived in Taizhou, it was already Si.

Taizhou City still looked like they did when they came yesterday. Although it was not like facing a great enemy, the four cities were closed. There were many soldiers patrolling back and forth on each city tower. Before Yu Ren and the others could approach, someone in the city had already asked loudly.

"Stop. Haven't you seen the city gate closed? It's an extraordinary time, and no one is allowed to enter the city casually."

Everyone strangled the horse, and Liang Zongyi rode his horse forward alone and came to the city. He shouted loudly to the guards on the city, "Look at what is this without eyes?"

As he said that, Liang Zongyi raised an imperial edict.

"This is the new Shandong general personally appointed by the emperor, Lord Li Zhaoji and Li. Open the city gate quickly."

The guard was shocked when he heard this, but he was still very cautious.

"Please send the imperial edict here so that our general can only open the door if it is confirmed."

After saying that, the guard asked someone to put down the suspension bridge. Liang Zongyi got off the horse and walked to the city with a yellow silk decree.

At this time, a hanging basket had already been placed under the city. Liang Zongyi put the imperial edict into the hanging basket and retreated back to his original place.

After waiting for more than a moment, a group of people walked up the city tower. The leader was Yao Wenguang, who was sent by Zhao Yan to be responsible for defending the city. Following Yao Wenguang was the former Jinan garrison Liu Changle, who was almost shot to death by Yu Ren.

"It turns out that Lord Li is in the prefecture. I am really embarrassed. Shandong is in chaos. The governor sent his subordinates here to defend the city and be responsible for blocking the rebels from the Yinxiang Sect to go north. The subordinates have their responsibilities and cannot open the city to welcome Lord Li. I hope you don't know how to be so good!"

Li Zhaoji snorted coldly. "What are you saying? You and I are both important officials of the court. Now there are thieves everywhere in Shandong. It is the time when you and I work together, so why bother to see you and I like this?

This time, I did not go directly from Zhili to Jinan, but took a risk to detour through Yanzhou and then returned to Jinan, just to investigate the military information of the traitors along the way. At present, I have basically figured out the situation of the traitors and was about to inform Lord Yao. Please open the city gate quickly so that I can go into the city to discuss the plan with you."

Yao Wenguang wanted to make things difficult for him, but saw that Liu Changle had already sent someone down the city gate to open the city gate. Yao Wenguang was too impatient and had to stop talking.

You should know that Li Zhaoji is the new general of Shandong. Although the official is under Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan is a civil servant. The real person in charge of the army should be Li Zhaoji. Therefore, Yao Wenguang didn't really want Li Zhaoji to enter the city. He was worried that after Li Zhaoji came, he would weaken the military power in his hands.

However, Liu Changle had already opened the city gate, so Yao Wenguang could not stop him anymore.

Several people met at the city gate, and Yu Ren finally saw the timid prefect of Jinan for the first time up close.

Yao Wenguang looks about 45 or 46 years old, with a clear appearance, medium-sized figure, and a long whisker. He looks a bit literary and seems to have nothing to do with the word pervert.

Yao Wenguang showed great enthusiasm, and he personally took Li Zhaoji and his party to his official residence. He ordered his servants to prepare a sumptuous banquet.

Although Yu Ren had dealt with Yao Wenguang and Liu Changle, because he had been hiding in the dark at that time, the two did not know Yu Ren.

When Li Zhaoji introduced Yu Ren, he just said lightly that he was the special envoy sent by the King of Lu from Yanzhou.

While drinking, the few people talked about the battle situation in Shandong. Seeing that Li Zhaoji did not mention the topic of adjusting the deployment of Taizhou, nor even asked to inspect the city guard team. He only said that they would guard Taizhou well, and he would leave here tomorrow and go to Jinan to take office.

After hearing this, Yao Wenguang completely relieved.

After chatting with Li Zhaoji for a few words, Yao Wenguang's eyes suddenly lit up. It was like a greedy hungry wolf who discovered his prey.

Yao Wenguang saw a woman with elegant temperament standing next to the envoy of King Lu. The woman was about her early twenties. Although she was dressed in ordinary clothes, she had a pure and refined nobility in her bones.

This made Yao Wenguang feel like he was caught by a cat. He has played with many women in his life, especially in the past six months. However, he has never played with a woman with such a unique and noble temperament like this woman.

"Who is that woman?" Yao Wenguang pretended to be careless and asked Li Zhaoji.

Li Zhaoji looked back.

"I don't know either. It should be someone like Yu's maids and concubines!" Li Zhaoji said, and then discussed the battle situation in Shandong with Liu Changle beside him.

"This kid is really lucky!" Yao Wenguang couldn't help but sigh.

After hearing this, a light suddenly flashed in Li Zhaoji's eyes. But this light just flashed and disappeared. He lowered his head, so it did not attract anyone's attention.

Although Yu Ren was the envoy of King Lu, his status was much worse than Yao Wenguang and others. Therefore, he did not sit at the same table with Yao Wenguang and others. Yao Wenguang sent two thousand generals to accompany him.

Although Yu Ren seemed to be concentrating on eating and drinking, he was actually always paying attention to Yao Wenguang's every move. Yao Wenguang just now showed a confusion about Jiang Xiaowan, and Yu Ren also secretly saw it. But he still ate his banquet and did not show it at all.

Yu Ren was drunk at this meal. They were arranged by Yao Wenguang to live in the most remote courtyard in the official residence. Yu Ren was carried back to his residence. He was so drunk that he could not walk.

After a few people finally sent him back to the room, he turned over and vomited.

Everyone had to quickly clean up for him. When everything was done, Yao Wenguang sent several subordinates to take the lead and left.

In Yu Ren's room, Jiang Xiaowan was left alone, responsible for taking care of him. No one else knew where to go.

Jiang Xiaowan sent away several servants from the Yao family, closed the door, and used the newly incoming hot water to wipe Yu Ren's face seriously, and then settled him down.

But she didn't dare to sleep, for fear that Yu Ren would not be able to find someone when he woke up in the middle of the night. So she moved a chair and sat on the head of Yu Ren's bed to guard him.

After Yu Ren vomited, Jiang Xiaowan cleaned him and became much quieter. Soon, he snored like thunder. Jiang Xiaowan was busy for a long time and was tired. Seeing that Yu Ren was sleeping quietly, she closed her eyes with confidence.

When she slept until midnight, Jiang Xiaowan suddenly heard the sound of someone prying the window, and she was immediately awakened. She turned her head and saw a masked man wearing black jumping in from outside the window.

"What……"

Before Jiang Xiaowan could finish her words, the man in black had already rushed up and held her mouth down so that she could no longer speak.

Then, Jiang Xiaowan only felt that someone had gently tapped on her back and lost consciousness.
