The return of the late emperor

At noon on the same day, the reinforcements sent by Dong Da, who had been on the road for a long time, finally arrived at Juyan City.

These days, the common people were so desperate that they were numb. It was not until the moment when the reinforcements entered the city that they had long-lost smiles on their faces, and they all welcomed them by the side of the road.

Therefore, on this day, the atmosphere in Juyan City was rare and peaceful, and the old, weak, sick and children who did not go to guard the city gate spontaneously left their small courtyards.

"Ping'er, take a look at how I am dressed today, sir." Ren Chengqi sat firmly on the horse, smiling, and waving to the people who greeted him by the side of the road.

Ping'er was leading the horse for him in front, when he heard this, he rolled his eyes to the sky, and said perfunctorily to him without turning his head: "Master is as majestic as ever, and the people naturally admire your demeanor." He was in a good mood, and quite willing to perfunctory this person.

"Really? I think so too." Ren Chengqi raised his hand, lightly brushed his beard under his chin, and continued to enjoy the pleasure of being welcomed by people.

"Daddy, where is the General Shang you mentioned?"

A child by the side of the road stretched his neck to look this way, the adult who was leading him didn't speak, but his eyes skipped over Ren Chengqi, and he was also looking around.

It was only then that Ren Chengqi realized that something was wrong. None of these people were paying attention to him. He was a little annoyed when he realized this fact. The horse stopped at the side of the road where the father and son were.

Seeing the high-ranking official on the horse approaching, the surrounding people retreated subconsciously, and there was a small space around the father and son. Ren Chengqi and his men and horses entered the area, but it still seemed empty.

"You..." Ren Chengqi raised his hand, but forgot that he was still holding the whip tightly in his hand, which gave people a very threatening feeling.

The man glared at him quickly, then took the child he was holding into his arms, and bowed his head in silence.

"Don't be afraid." Ren Chengqi quickly put down the whip in his hand, and handed it directly to Ping'er for safekeeping, "I just want to ask, do you know who I am?"

He tucked in his belly, raised his head, and was ready to receive a wave of compliments from the people. He always thought that he should be praised by the people, but in the next second, reality poured cold water on him. .

"Dog officer." The man didn't look up, he just said bitterly, and then hugged the child in his arms even tighter.

Ping'er raised his forehead, feeling that he was also ashamed, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the hem of Ren Chengqi's clothes on the horse.

Ren Chengqi turned half of his body on the horse in confusion, and asked Ping'er: "What's wrong?"

Ping'er gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Master, I probably forgot that General Shang was the one who got it back from you."

"Uh, isn't that..." He wanted to say, didn't that brother instruct him to do this, but Ping'er pinched the leg that was clamped on the horse's belly in a casual way, and the pain caused him to immediately forget what he had done before. What do you want to say for a moment.

Ping'er withdrew his hand calmly, and said calmly: "Master, it's time to go, don't make Master Fan wait too long."

When Ren Chengqi thought of Fan Zhi, he lost face immediately, "Then let's go." If Fan Zhi was made uncomfortable, I don't know how many papers he would have to hand over to Brother, accusing him of malfeasance.

Ren Chengqi turned the horse's head, pinched the horse's belly, and within a few steps, was hit on the back of the head by an object. He touched the back of the head and looked carefully at the back of the head. It was sticky and mixed with broken eggshells. , put it under his nose, and sniff it carefully, a stench hit his face, someone threw an egg on the back of his head, and it was a rotten egg!

The common people gathered here today, one is to greet General Shang, and the other is to 'entertain' the rumored prime minister who is hostile to General Shang.Just now, after Ren Chengqi made such a fuss, they guessed his identity, so the stinky egg that had been prepared a long time ago came in handy...

Ren Chengqi turned his head angrily, but saw that the people behind him still had normal expressions on their faces, they didn't pay attention to him at all, they kept looking around for someone, thinking with their toes, they knew they were looking for Shang Yong .

Ping'er patted the horse's belly, grabbed the rein from Ren Chengqi's hand, and didn't care what mood he was on the horse, just lowered his head and kept going forward, and only after walking far away did he whisper: "Master , don’t forget what Taijun told you.”

Ren Chengqi looked around subconsciously, making sure that the people around couldn't hear what he was about to complain, then sighed and said: "How do they know that Shang Yong is not on the same road as us at all, even I don't know at this time Where is he?"

"These are not things that the master should worry about. You'd better go see Mr. Fan quickly. Also, write a letter to the Taijun, and tell how you spent half a month's journey for twenty days." Ping The son sneered.

"My lord, how did I know that there would be so many situations along the way, and that the food pressure officer could get lost."

Ren Chengqi was so angry when he thought of that day, and his younger brother still hated himself for being stupid, so he knew that the food pressure officer he personally sent was even worse than himself, and he could do it on this road that he had traveled countless times. lost way.

"Master, this also belongs to the category of your supervision." Ping'er said lightly, with no expression on his face, and a rare smile appeared on his face when he said the latter sentence, "You beat Master Yang with a board. , he is fine, when we return to the imperial capital, Taijun will carefully settle your responsibilities."

The three armies have not yet moved, and the grain and grass go first. The grain press is always at the forefront of the team. The grain press officer surnamed Yang led them on the wrong road for a few days. Come to report to yourself, maybe you won't be able to reach this Juyan in another month.In this way, Ren Chengqi was very angry, but he didn't know that the man surnamed Yang was arrested and questioned. It turned out that he knew the wrong way as early as the day before, but he didn't dare to say it, so he just walked on with his neck stuck. Wait until there is nothing to hide.

It's a serious crime to mislead the army, and it's not an exaggeration to kill the grain officer directly, but although Ren Chengqi is not a good man, he still has a kind heart, watching him cry with snot and tears , there is still a widowed father in the family, so he only ordered him to be punished, beat him half to death, and then took care of him well, determined to take this responsibility on himself. He will not be dealt with directly under military law.

So Ren Chengqi only turned around and stepped up his marching pace, marching towards the correct path leading to Juyan, hurriedly and slowly, and finally arrived at Juyan on this day...

Hearing Ping'er's words, Ren Chengqi shuddered reflexively. At that time, he was thinking of pretending to be a hero, but when he calmed down, he remembered how his younger brother would deal with him when he returned to the imperial capital. Going back to be his own bear, he hesitated and said: "Ping'er, tell me, if I behead that kid surnamed Yang now, is there still time?"

Ping'er rolled his eyes again, but completely ignored him, and his subordinates pulled the reins violently again, causing Ren Chengqi on the horse's back to almost lose his waist.

"Master, I'm serious. It's his responsibility. If he didn't cry pitifully that day, I would definitely kill him on the spot. Thinking about it now, it's not too late. Otherwise, I won't go to see it this time." , you pass on my order directly..."

Ping'er sneered, and simply raised his whip, and lashed the horse's buttocks hard. The next moment, the horse suffered from pain and ran forward.

"Hey……"

"My lord, I can't ride a horse..."

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

……

As soon as Ming Ke and the others came out of Fan Zhai, they ran into someone who came to deliver the message, so instead of going to the gate tower, they went directly to the official office to wait for the visitor.

These days, all the strong laborers in the city have gone to guard the city, let alone those who eat public food, so when Ren Chengqi arrived, he saw the empty gate of the official office in Juyan City. After waiting for a long time, tomorrow Only Ke San approached slowly from a distance.

"Lord Fan, please let me wait." Ping'er is Ren Ming's man, and Ren Chengqi's waist is almost torn apart by him, but he dare not complain in front of him. Now seeing his former rival Fan Zhi, he felt even more yin and yang.

"It's better than Ren Xiang. I don't know if the scenery along the way is enough?" Fan Zhi knew early on that the supervisor was Ren Chengqi. He always knew that he could not be counted on for big things, but he didn't expect that the superior would be so confused. , As a result, this person really dawdled on the road for a long time, and finally waited until this person arrived with reinforcements, and the meeting was full of yin and yang. He was not going well in the past two days, and this person just hit him on the edge of the knife, "If I haven't seen enough, it's nothing, the officials have already given the emperor a few tips, and when Ren Xiang returns, he will probably be in a happier mood."

"You..." Ren Chengqi turned pale with anger, and pointed at Fan Zhi with shaking fingers, unable to say a word for a long time, he couldn't imagine the expression on brother's face when he received the brochure.

Fan Zhi directly knocked down Ren Chengqi's hand, and said in a cold voice: "Okay, Prime Minister Ren, since the reinforcements have arrived, let's go in and talk about what to do next. By the way, where is General Shang?" Fan Zhi Frowning, he looked around, wondering, why didn't he see Shang Yong?Didn't it mean that he was in charge this time?

"This... this..." Ren Chengqi clasped his hands nervously, he didn't know what to say, and his younger brother didn't tell him what Shang Yong was going to do. These days, Shang Yong himself was not here, so he didn't go with them. He kept the news to himself all the time, he didn't expect that Shang Yong didn't show up when he came to Juyan, so what can he say now.

Ming Ke on the side also frowned, Shang Yong set off first and the two of them should have arrived at Juyan a long time ago, he and Ren Ming arrived in Juyan a few days later, Shang Yong still did not show up, Ming Ke still wanted to He wondered if he had gone back to find reinforcements, and now listening to Ren Chengqi's hesitation, it seemed that Shang Yong hadn't gone back either, so where is he now?

"What's this, that, tell me, where is General Shang?" Fan Zhi was also in a hurry, he didn't care about the official rank, Ren Chengqi was not only one or two ranks higher than him, he yelled at Ren Chengqi directly.

Min Ke was also taken aback by Fan Zhi, who was always polite and never angry when he was sober, thinking, could it be that he was still drunk from last night?Thinking of getting drunk, he subconsciously glanced in Ren Ming's direction, but happened to bump into the man's gaze looking at him thoughtfully. He thought of last night, and his heart went straight to his throat. Fortunately, the next moment, Ren Ming Ming turned his gaze elsewhere.

"I don't know where he is, Taijun told me to leave it alone." Ren Chengqi gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said directly.

Fan Zhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Shang Yong was not in Juyan City at all at this time, his face turned pale all of a sudden, and he murmured: "Then what should we do, who will be in charge?"

Min Ke's lips moved slightly, hesitating for a moment, but he didn't say a word.

It was Ren Chengqi who threw away the burden in his heart, felt relieved at this moment, and looked at the two of them seriously, "Who are these two?" He looked at Ming Ke and the two, but asked Fan Zhi.

Fan Zhi ignored him, and kept thinking about Shang Yong's whereabouts.

Seeing this embarrassing scene, Ming Ke simply pulled Ren Ming two steps closer, and said softly, "I'm Li Wei."

Ren Chengqi's face turned blue all of a sudden, he was startled, and after a while he shook his fingers and said, "You, aren't you dead?"

"This is Ah Ming, and he saved me." Seeing Ren Chengqi's startled appearance, Minke pointed at Ren Ming calmly. Brother will recognize him.

Knowing the reason, and knowing that Li Wei is not some intrusive person who came back from the dead, Ren Chengqi is not afraid anymore, he even laughed out loud, and said while laughing: "Since General Li is still alive, then Fan What are you worried about, just let General Li take charge, if the Taijun blames me, I will bear it all by myself."

"No, he's not that kind of material." Fan Zhi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly became excited when he heard Ren Chengqi's sudden words, and shouted: "I don't agree."

"General." Ren Ming glanced at the crazy Fan Zhi, and suddenly called Ming Ke tenderly, and then leaned tightly beside Ming Ke.

Ming Ke understood Ren Ming's meaning, Fan Zhi looked like this, they had to speed up the pace, so he took Ren Ming into his arms and said softly: "Don't be afraid." Then he raised his head and said to Fan Zhi: "It seems that Master Fan is really questioning my ability."

Fan Zhi blushed, pointed at Ah Ming, and said excitedly: "Li Wei, don't I know how capable you are? If you want to rely on his crooked methods to force Bantu back, it's impossible, I... ..."I can't let you die again.Fan Zhi endured it, but he still didn't say the rest of the words. After last night, he knew everything. It was just a play, and it was up to see who could play it more realistically. And his tears had been shed as early as last night...

Ren Ming said softly again: "I believe in the general, he will definitely be able to do it."

"Li Wei, I don't care about you anymore. Whether you live or die this time, don't come back to look for me."

Fan Zhi was so angry that he walked away, but his tears couldn't stop flowing. In fact, he knew that the person who should have heard these words was no longer there. A liar, a big liar, even hired someone to lie to him when he was dying. When he woke up last night, he misheard the conversation between those two people, and he might never know in this life that that person really loved him, not his own wishful thinking...

Seeing Fan Zhi walking away, Ren Ming's face was expressionless for an instant, and he immediately pushed Ming Ke away. Ming Ke smiled, but he didn't care.

Ren Chengqi watched all this from the sidelines, and was so shocked that he couldn't get over his head for a long time. When Ren Ming glanced at him in disgust, he said slowly: "This little brother, not only My brother's name is similar to mine, even his temperament and eyes are similar, if I hadn't been convinced that my brother is not a twin, I would have suspected that the little brother is also my younger brother."

Ren Ming's response to this was to drop a sneer and turn around to leave, but his elder brother did not recognize him.

Ming Ke held back his laughter, and seeing Ren Ming walking away, he said softly: "Don't take offense, Prime Minister Ren, Ah Ming has this kind of temperament, maybe he got angry with Master Fan just now, so..."

"Understood." Ren Chengqi laughed irrationally for a moment, causing Ping'er beside him to give him another kick by the way...

……

With reinforcements, it was another fierce battle that afternoon.

Although the number of enemy troops was large, after all this, they couldn't bear the wear and tear. On the ladder frame, no soldiers could climb over the wall. The Bantu army continued to attack for several hours, with heavy casualties and no effect, so they stopped After finishing the offensive, he retreated to the camp 500 meters away from the city wall to rest.

Juyan City was already besieged, and it was only a temporary rest. Min Ke didn't dare to relax at all. He ordered the soldiers who were slightly injured and those who were still energetic to continue guarding the tower, and the military doctors were here to treat them directly. Seriously injured, after carefully counting the approximate casualties this time, Ming Ke went down the tower, and tonight is the highlight...
