"My lord, did you promise Hu Zongxian to help him?"
She didn't even have time to knock on the door, so she pushed the door and went in and asked.
Lu Yi put on his homely robe and asked sideways, "Why do you think so?"
"If you go to the army, you will definitely need Hu Zongxian's approval. On the other hand, since he promised to let you go to the army, he must believe that you will help him." This summer frowned, "This morning, he invited you to come to the residence for the purpose of To coerce you? Or…”
Lu Yiwen smiled and said, "You don't have to guess, it's not. He didn't coerce me, but I just wanted to learn more about the current situation of Japanese pirates along the coast."
This summer looked at him suspiciously: "Brother, don't you investigate his fornication with Japanese pirates?"
"Going to the army is for this. If he just wants to use a trick to lure Wang Zhi ashore and control it, then it corresponds to what Wang Zhi said before his death. I just want to confirm this."
"Confirmed?" How smart this summer, he immediately guessed, "He told you that he was using a scheme against Wang Zhi?"
Lu Yi nodded.
"This old fox!" she said fiercely, "I understand, seeing that he can't kill you, he can't stop us from checking his details, so he prepared this rhetoric to deceive you. Brother, you can't fall for him. count!"
Lu Yi said with a smile: "Before, didn't you guess that he was playing tricks on Wang Zhi?"
"I guessed so, but... don't forget, he still wanted to kill you last night, and he told you about it today, is it credible? Besides, the army is all his people, with guns and knives standing around, and he just gave a secret order to it. I think it's very dangerous to let someone kill you."
"Yes, now his backing has fallen, and the Yan family can't count on it. The only chance of survival lies in me. He will only use me as a life-saving straw. How can he be willing to harm me." Lu Yi pinched her cheek, He smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about me. You have to be careful on the way to Xinhe City tomorrow. Fortunately, you are still lame, and you can't cause anything. I finally feel relieved."
This summer, he bared his teeth and said triumphantly: "... My aunt said that the wound has healed, and I will be able to move freely in two days."
"Mrs. Shen's medical skills are indeed extraordinary."
"That's right, my aunt really has nothing to say to me." Thinking of this summer, my heart warms. "My uncle said that she even went to the street to cut fabrics and wanted to make clothes for me. Also, she saw it today. I was bitten by mosquitoes several times on my body, and I was so sad that I burst into tears. Do you think it's strange? My mother never felt so sorry for me."
After hearing this, Lu Yi really felt strange: "Does she think she has a special affinity with you?"
"I don't know either, but I always feel that I won't be rewarded without merit, and I have no idea in my heart."
This summer sighed quietly.
Mrs. Shen's sudden willingness to stay before, Lu Yi had already found it strange, and now she is so good to this summer for no reason, which makes him even more surprised. He thought back carefully and asked Jin Xia, "I remember that Mrs. Shen was willing to stay because you and Yang Yue invited her to a meal. What did you say during the dinner?"
"Speaking of moist cakes, Fujian specialties and so on..." I tried to recall this summer, "Dayang said that because the boss also likes to eat, by the way, after hearing the boss's name, she said that there was an old friend in the capital, whose name and boss It's almost the same, but it's a pity that it's the same pronunciation. I said I could help her find her old friend, and then... then she looked weird."
"Could it be related to Senior Yang?"
"Whether the boss is her old friend, but because of her identity, she dare not say it explicitly." This summer guessed, "So she sees me as the boss's apprentice, so she treats me very well."
"If so, she should treat Yang Yue better." Lu Yi asked, "How does she treat Yang Yue?"
"... Compliment him for his good cooking, but nothing else seems to be there."
Lu Yi tilted his head to look at her and thought about it: "In this case, it should be that she sees you as talented and smart."
Hearing this, it was really useful this summer, smiling like a spring flower: "Where is it."

At night, when Mrs. Shen went to the stove to boil the medicine, she happened to meet Yang Yue kneading dough in it.
"Haven't eaten yet?" she asked.
Yang Yue smiled: "Isn't this going to Xinhe City tomorrow, I want to bake some cakes and prepare them to eat on the way."
"Why don't you tell the shop assistant to prepare."
"It's better to bake more cakes and porcelain. Besides, I like to eat them this summer." Yang Yue replied while kneading, "In the past, we had to bake a lot of cakes with us when we went on business."
"You are so kind to this summer."
Putting the medicinal materials into the medicine jar, Mrs. Shen looked at him while scooping up the water.
Yang Yue smiled and said: "My family, there is nothing good or bad. We grew up together, and she is just like my own sister."
"According to this summer, your father is also very kind to her."
"That's right, even if my father has a daughter, it's probably nothing more than that." Yang Yue recalled, "If there is delicious food at home, I will always send a copy to her house.
"Are you two neighbors?" Mrs. Shen slowly stirred the medicine with a silver pick and asked casually.
Yang Yue didn't take much precaution, and replied: "On a street, I remember that I had just moved there, and I had a fight with this summer. At that time, although she was tall, she was very imposing. Daddy liked her very much, and he called her. I bought peach cake and shared it with her."
"How old were you then?"
"It's only six years old..." Yang Yue saw that the medicine jar was on the fire, and Mrs. Shen was standing beside him, so he said enthusiastically, "Senior, go and rest, I'll just watch the fire, and when the medicine is ready, I will call you again."
Mrs. Shen instructed: "Just boil it into a bowl of water."
"Okay, I remember."
Before Mrs. Shen walked out of the kitchen, there was a flash of clothes in the corner, Lu Yi smiled calmly at the oncoming Uncle Beggar, and returned to his room as if nothing had happened.
**************************************************** ********************
Early the next morning, everyone's luggage should be loaded into the carriage, and they are all packed up.
Sitting on the carriage this summer, he looked out to see that Lu Yi was not far away, as if he was instructing Cen Shou, then he walked to Chunyumin's carriage and seemed to say a few more words, and then Uncle Beggar and Mrs. Shen...
After finally waiting for him to walk towards her, Yang Yue saw that the carriage in front was moving, so he hurriedly reined in, and the carriage dipped forward.
I was anxious this summer: "Dayang, wait a moment, that... Mr. Lu must have something to say."
Yang Yue had to rein in the reins.
Lu Yixing came over and said briefly to Yang Yue, "Be careful on the road, let's go."
I waited eagerly for him for a long time this summer, but I didn't expect that he and I didn't even say a word.
The carriage moved forward, and it was about to cross him. Lu Yi smiled slightly, moved his lips, and seemed to say two words to her, but did not say a word.
"wait for me!".
Recognizing his mouth shape this summer, the anger in his chest suddenly vanished, and his heart was sweet, and he leaned out of the carriage and looked at him a lot. I just felt that he was standing there, tall and straight, gentle and handsome, and couldn't help marrying him several times in my heart.
It wasn't until the carriage turned the corner that Lu Yi took his eyes back. At this time, Cen Fu and a sergeant led the horse over.
Lu Yi took the horse from Cen Fu's hand, jumped over, and rode the horse: "Let's go!"
The horses' hoofs flew, and the three horses left Beicheng and galloped away in the direction of Cengang.
The night before going to Cen Gang, Cen Fu had already shown Lu Yi the information about Yu Dayou.
After watching it, Lu Yi reminded him: "This General Yu was promoted on the basis of his military exploits, and he must not be very fond of me, my son who relies on his father to make things happen. Remember, when you arrive at the barracks, you will act according to the rules of the barracks, and Don't put on airs, and you must be measured in your words."
Cen Fu said with a smile: "Eldest son, you underestimate me too. When did I flaunt your name outside?"
"The army led by this General Yu is also called the Yu Family Army. All of them have been trained by him, which is different from other places. When we are in the army, we are on his territory, and we must act cautiously."
Cen Fuqi said: "As the eldest son, who would dare to show us?"
Lu Yi smiled lightly: "You will know when you go."
They rushed all the way and reached Zhoushan within a day. Yu Dayou's Yu family army was stationed here. Before reaching the barracks, they encountered many defeated officers and soldiers along the way.
"Eldest son?" Cen Fu saw Lu Yi turned over and dismounted, and for some unknown reason, he quickly followed.
Lu Yi gave up the horse to the injured person without saying a word, but Cen Fu did not dare to ask any more questions, and gave up his horse as well. When the sergeant accompanying him saw this, Lu Yi's official rank was much higher than his own. There was absolutely no reason for him to walk and ride by himself, so he had to give up his horse.
In the scorching sun, Lu Yi and the defeated soldiers walked back to the camp together. On the way, they learned that Cengang is located in the west of Zhoushan. The land is winding with mountains, rugged and narrow mountain paths, numerous foreheads, and complex terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In this attack, the Japanese thieves blocked all roads, leaving only one road, and it was difficult and dangerous. The Ming army had no choice in attacking. They entered from the narrow road. When it was about to end, the Japanese thieves took the back road and attacked from the front and back. The Ming army was defeated, and more than half of the casualties were lost.
Lu Yi frowned slightly, Yu Dayou must know the terrain so easily flanked by Japanese thieves, why would he take the risk of attacking
After walking for more than two hours, they finally arrived at the military camp of the Yu Family Army. After waiting for the communication, they learned that General Yu had not returned to the camp, so they had to wait outside the tent.
After waiting for almost an hour, he saw a bearded man in a military robe striding into the camp, with a seriously wounded soldier on his back. There were officers and soldiers in the battalion to meet him and take over the seriously wounded. Big stride to the big account.
"General!" The little sergeant waiting in front of the tent quickly called out respectfully.
Yu Dayou hummed, looked at Lu Yi and Cen Fu, his eyes were surprised, the sergeant who came with Lu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to explain, and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yu Dayou.
It must be a personal letter from Hu Zongxian, Lu Yi saw Yu Dayou frowning after reading the letter, and then raised his eyes to look at himself.
"Lu Yanshi, right... Well, you haven't eaten yet, Xiangzi, take them to eat first, and then settle them down." He instructed the little sergeant, and then said to Lu Yi, "After I have dealt with military affairs, I will take care of Lu Yan. Catch the wind and wash the dust." After he said hastily, he headed into the big tent.
Seeing Yu Dayou's disdain for Lu Yi, the accompanying sergeant said embarrassingly, "I just fought a big battle, and I feel very tired when I want to come here, so please be considerate of Mr. Lu... I have to rush back to report to the governor, so I will go first. Farewell!"
Lu Yi nodded.
He was about to leave when the curtain of the big tent was suddenly opened, and Yu Dayou strode out and grabbed him.
"General, general... What is this doing?" The sergeant was grabbed by his collar and robe, almost out of breath, and hurriedly apologized.
"Monkey cub, just run away when you show up!" Yu Dayou had an angry look on his face, "I ask you, when exactly does the Governor plan to send reinforcements?!"
"General, it's not that you don't know, there are frequent Japanese outbreaks in various places, and there is no way to adjust the manpower. Taizhou was in a hurry a few days ago, and General Qi just rushed over. When it calms down, the governor will definitely send troops to reinforce Cen Gang... You are a little loose. Relax, let me catch my breath first."
Yu Dayou let go of his hand in annoyance: "I've been listening to these words for almost half a year, what about people?"
"The Governor's day and night are the news of the great victory of Cengang, and it is also full of bitterness. General, you should be more considerate and considerate," the sergeant straightened his robes and bowed his hands again, "I will retire first!"
His brows were wrinkled like a pimple, Yu Dayou didn't even look at Lu Yi again, and went straight back to the big tent.
