Rebirth of the Second Young Master of the Ren Family

Chapter 18 Kangzhuang Avenue

A pot of dishes has been cooked steaming hot, and only the last condiment is ready to come out of the pot, so naturally someone added this ingredient: proposed to use large stone bricks to pave the road, and then was led to that place. Go to the city wall of Zezhou City.

Sure enough, this idea had just been proposed, and the young people hadn't responded yet, but several old people firmly expressed their disapproval.The younger generation grew up in a peaceful environment, so they don't know the tragedy of Zezhou more than ten years ago, but the few old people have seen it, and they will naturally not allow the barrier of Zezhou to be dismantled.

Ren Ren bowed to an old man on crutches and said: "Mr. Zhang, Ren Ren is young and ignorant, how dare you ask where Zezhou City was a hundred years ago?" A literati, sour and old-fashioned, is the hardest rock to crack.

"It's the former capital of the water bandits." The old man replied inexplicably.

"If this city wall is really Zezhou's indestructible barrier, why is the capital of Zezhou now the city of Zezhou in China?"

The old man was at a loss for words for a while, then he paused and said: "It is the king of the Ze Kingdom who is defeated, no matter how strong the city wall is, how can it compare to my country of Hua, which is sage and brave?"

Ren Ren curled his lips in private, secretly thinking that he could really speak, but continued: "Since His Majesty Hua is wise and his soldiers are brave, what is there to be afraid of without this barrier?"

The old man rolled his eyes in choking, but he didn't expect to get himself involved.

As if he didn't see Mr. Zhang's displeasure, Ren Ren asked the young men who stood quietly and listened to his conversation: "Let me ask first, since my father was stationed in the border, has this water bandit ever been big?" Has it harassed the Zezhou area on a large scale?"

Everyone shook their heads again and again. Although there are small groups of water bandits who flee to commit crimes every year, the number is too small and they are good at hiding among the people. It is impossible to guard against them. The people who have lived in Zezhou for a long time naturally understand this situation. They only sigh that the water bandits are cunning, but also No wonder it happened to General Ren.

"But that can't tear down the last barrier of our Zezhou City!" Mr. Zhang poked the ground with his crutch angrily, and said bitterly.

Ren Ren took a look at him, stood with his hands behind his back, and said loudly to the crowd: "If there is such a day that the enemy bullies the outside of Zezhou City, and this city wall really becomes the last barrier, I only know that it must be my father and brother. I have already died in battle. At that time, our generals must have died together with the enemy! I believe that if there is only one soldier in our country alive, they will never let that water bandit enter the lake. Under the city!"

"Yes! Old General Ren will naturally protect us until the last moment!" Over the years of trust in Ren's army, the common people naturally had no doubts about Ren Ren's words, and for a while they were all excited and shouted together.

"At that time, both my father and brother had died on the battlefield, and our soldiers were all shrouded in horse leather. Facing the water bandits who destroyed my homeland and killed my compatriots, could it be that I can only hope for this last barrier and hide behind this city wall? Don't you dare to fight the enemy to the death?!" The young man's clear voice suddenly raised his voice, and his eyes stabbed at Mr. Zhang like swords.

"Of course not! Even if you risk your life, the thief will never come back!"

"Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair!"

After all, the young men are hot-blooded men. Enraged by the scene described by Ren Ren's few words, they waved their fists and shouted.

As a literati, Mr. Zhang is the most important.Of course, he would not say anything about escaping and fleeing without a fight, so he had to follow suit and say: "Although I, Zhang, is old and incompetent, I will definitely live and die with Zezhou."

Li Zhoushou stood aside and watched Ren Ren's performance, secretly feeling that this young man is really eloquent.With just a few words, the simple matter of tearing down the city wall was taken to the height of defending the country, but everyone didn't realize that they were being led by the nose.

However, Li Zhoushou still underestimated Ren Ren.I saw the boy waved his hand to calm everyone down, put on a heartbroken expression and sighed: "But if that day really comes, what will the younger generation in Zezhou be doing? Ordinary people will only know how to farm. Digging the land, the children of the rich family are even more luxurious and sensual, what power do they have to fight against the water bandits? Is it true that they can sleep peacefully with the Ren family army guarding the border? Is it true that they are hiding in this seemingly solid place? After the city wall, is Zezhou City really impregnable?"

Scanning a group of people, the dark-complexioned peasants turned their eyes away in embarrassment, and then remembered that although he had brute force, did he have a chance of winning against the water bandits?But I have long heard that the water bandits practiced martial arts since they were young... The faces of the old men who came with them were also a little uncomfortable. Except for Mr. Zhang, most of them were from wealthy families, and their children and grandchildren were indeed rich. of that kind.Now after hearing what Ren Ren said, I thought that if he really faced the water bandits, let alone fighting, he might not even be able to run.

"Of course, we don't have to worry too much." Ren Ren softened his tone when he saw everyone thinking, "Since my father and brother are alive, Zezhou will be safe for a day, but if the water bandits are not eliminated, I feel uneasy. It is said that the battlefield is impermanent, if my father and brother one day...maybe our generation can live without incident, but what will our younger generations do when they face water bandits?"

Following Ren Ren's words, the faces of the people present also sank.Even young men have already married wives and had children. When they think that their children may be bullied by water bandits, they are angry and worried.And the old men experienced the evil deeds of the water bandits when they were young, and they couldn't help but start to reflect on whether they have lived too much in comfort and forgotten the sufferings of the past. If the water bandits bully their children and grandchildren again, how will they deal with themselves?

"A few days ago, my father and brother came to Taoism, and a large-scale encirclement and suppression of water bandits will be carried out by the end of the year." Ren Ren's words immediately caused many young people to raise their heads and stare at him with burning eyes.

Ren Ren said again: "In a few days, I will also rush to the front line to contribute to my country. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and life and death are impermanent. Maybe it will be difficult for me to see you again. But what I want to say Yes, the sons and daughters of our country should fight bloody battles and win the victory by killing the enemy," said with one side of his body pointing in the direction of Zezhou City, and said loudly: "How can we live in peace and hide in that city without fear of danger! Today, I have a question: Is there anyone who is willing to go to the front with me and kill all the water bandits, so as to keep Zezhou City from falling down for a hundred years and my descendants to live and work in peace and contentment?!"

"I, Li Dazhuang, would like to go!"

"I, Zhang Yu, would like to go!"

"I am willing!"

"I'll go with Second Young Master too!"

……

Li Zhoushou silently looked at the people who stood up from among the young people, and glanced at the smiling and moved Ren Ren, looking at the sky secretly and speechless.

He just said a few words to Ren Ren the day before yesterday that the general offensive will be launched at the end of the year, but the supply of troops is scarce. If the young and middle-aged people in Zezhou City are willing to join the army, it will be fine.It's just that Zezhou City has not been attacked by the enemy for more than ten years. The old people have experienced the tragedy of their wives and children. How could they be willing to let the younger generation go to the battlefield to fight for their lives?So Li Zhoushou was very worried.

No wonder Ren Ren specially asked him to bring his deputy who was in charge of registering to join the army when he came here today. It seems that he wanted to take this opportunity to encourage some young people to join the army.Now seeing that almost all of the hundreds of young people present went to register and pressed their fingerprints, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.Let them register when their emotions are incited, even if they are persuaded by their family members when they return to the city, they cannot go back on their word when they calm down.As long as you put your fingerprints on the army registration book, you will be a soldier of Huaguo. Unless you are physically disabled or seriously ill, don't think about going back on your word, otherwise you will be punished as a crime of fooling the government.

And after this fanfare, I'm afraid it's not just these young people. After the news spreads, more people will come to join the army. The source of soldiers is not a problem.

Silently watching the problem of the source of troops being resolved, Ren Ren felt that it was time to bring the topic that was a few hundred miles away to the right path, and winked at the people who were placed among the common people.

The man immediately understood, and hurriedly shouted to everyone: "This city wall should also be demolished to pave the road! We need to let the younger generation know that it is not the ignorant stone tiles that have protected them for a hundred years, but our hard-working soldiers." Father and brother!"

The young people who had just turned from peasants to soldiers were still very excited. They didn't have any obsession with the city wall. After Ren Ren's instigation, they felt that the so-called last barrier was an insult, and they immediately agreed.

Seeing the young people discussing a lot, Ren Ren whispered to the old men who still wanted to refute: "When the water bandit rebellion subsides, the official road paved with stone slabs will become a commercial road, even if it takes less than a day for a carriage You can reach the frontier. There are less bumps and less wear and tear on the carriage, and the business with overseas is much more convenient, which is really a good thing for the benefit of future generations."

Several old people immediately fell silent.They are also from a family of merchants, even if one or two are in official positions, they are inextricably linked with merchants. Now Ren Renyi reminded them to realize that this road still has such a use.It can save the cost of wearing and tearing the carriage, and save the time on the delivery route, which is really beneficial.Besides, there is no need for these old fellows to repair this road, isn't it just to tear down a useless city wall?Take it down, take it down, what does it have to do with them?

Although Mr. Zhang was still hesitant, how could his own words overcome the enthusiasm of the group?

With a smile on his face, Ren Ren pointed at the city wall of Zezhou City and said loudly:

"So, let us walk on the road paved by the water bandits' old city walls and wipe them out!"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Benkyo, Imperial Study Room .

The air was quiet and sticky, making people breathless, Shun Fu lowered his head and carefully exhaled slowly, for fear of making a noise that would disturb the moody people from just now.

Xiao Tianhong was dressed in a yellow robe, his handsome and somewhat strange face had an inexplicable expression, his well-maintained fingers were pinching the corner of the ensemble paper, his head was already in a mess, some couldn't understand how things would change suddenly.

Two years ago, on a whim, he went to a poetry reception in Benjing in plain clothes, not wanting to get acquainted with General Ren's second son.At that time, seeing the useless appearance of that boy as a dandy, he didn't bother to talk to him, but thinking of the value of his father and brother, he pretended to flatter him, but he didn't expect that boy to fall in love with him.

There was slippery scraps of paper between the index finger and thumb, Xiao Tianhong pinched it unconsciously, and smiled coldly in his heart, although the kid didn't say it clearly, he was very familiar with that look, since he was canonized as the crown prince at the age of 12, how many women used it That look at him?That kid thought he didn't know about his little thoughts?Seeing admiration in a woman's eyes can be tiresome at times, but it can also be vain and complacent.But seeing that emotion in the eyes of a fellow man...

Xiao Tianhong narrowed his long and narrow eyes to hide his deep disgust, it's really disgusting!

But in order to contain his father and brother's power, he couldn't show his contempt, and even asked his father to be his companion, coaxing him every day until the love in those dark eyes became more and more intense. Concentrated, it was almost impossible to hide when he took the throne.

Ren Fengjiang can be regarded as a man of knowledge, knowing that he has made great achievements, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to stay in the southern border all the year round and never enter Beijing.Although he has only [-] soldiers and horses under his command, he has to guard against them, so the role of making friends with Ren Ren is now evident.Ren Fengjiang and his family were relocated, and he even generously added another [-] troops for Ren Fengjiang to take away.But at the same time, he secretly sent someone to take Ren Ren back to the capital. He was very sure that the person who only knew to surround himself every day, carefully looking forward to a smile on his own face, would be extremely happy with his arrangement and would take the initiative to return to Beijing.But what never expected was that not only did Ren Ren not come back, but the confidant he sent died in the army!

Xiao Tianhong once again browsed the secret concert that was one month late.A total of three spies were pulled out, which disrupted the entire monitoring line he had placed in the Ren family army. It was not until recently that he reorganized and submitted secret reports, but he had already missed a lot of information.

The spy routes exclusive to the emperors of the Hua Kingdom are very concealed. No matter the method or channel of transmission, they are passed down from generation to generation by emperors.If he hadn't taken the initiative to expose, he was confident that no one would be able to detect his methods.But why was it planted in Zezhou?Xiao Tianhong couldn't figure it out.

In addition, Ren Fengjiang is a scheming veteran, if he found out that his eyeliner would quietly charge him with "spies poisoning" and deal with him, it would not be surprising, but what happened to Ren Ren?

Why didn't he come back?Was it that the people who connected with him were cleared before they had time to contact him, or was their identity revealed after contacting him?Ren Ren betrayed him?Xiao Tianhong carefully recalled Ren Ren's performance and found it unlikely.

But, is this Ren Ren really the one he knows?Excellent medical skills?Descendants of the Sacred Valley of Medicine?Zezhou free clinic?How did he not know that the second young master of the Ren family, who has been inseparable from him for more than a year, knows medical skills?Still go to free clinic?He knew very well that Ren Ren had always looked above his head to those ordinary people, so how could he lower his value to go to the free clinic?

Although there is no need to worry about Ren Fengjiang's conspiracy for the time being, what happened to Ren Ren?

For the first time, the young emperor felt uneasy that things were faintly out of control.

"Shunfu, prepare ink."
