He waited until dusk, and did not see the return of the Son of Heaven.

Lu Xun couldn't help but feel a little deflated, and pleaded pitifully: "Sister, it's going to be dark in another hour, let's go back to the city?" ”

"Do you still want to be a general, do you still want to be a metropolitan governor?" Wu Ruyi stroked/touched his brother's angular face and asked very sternly.

"Of course!"

As soon as he thought of this question, eight-year-old Lu Xun felt happy from the bottom of his bones: "My sister will become the queen in the future, of course I will be a general, and I will be the governor of Dadu!" ”

"Shh

Wu Ruyi made a silent gesture, and said: "Sister reminds you again, you must not say this nonsense in the future, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth!" Do you think it's so easy to become a queen? Also, even if my sister becomes the queen, do you think you can be a general and a governor? If there is no merit, how can you serve the people? ”

Lu Xun wiped the snot that flowed out of the cold, and there was no squeak.

He still doesn't understand what his sister said, and he doesn't understand why his sister is so smart and handsome, why can't she be a queen? Why is it that even if my sister becomes the queen and the Son of Heaven becomes my brother-in-law, I can't be a general or a metropolitan governor, but I still have to rely on merit? Isn't there any special treatment for the brother-in-law of the Son of Heaven?

Seeing that Lu Xun didn't squeak, Wu Ruyi said softly: "That's why my sister brought you to greet Your Majesty, and try to leave as many prints as possible for the Son of Heaven, it will be good for you in the future, you know?" Concubine Tang is about to give birth, His Majesty will definitely hurry day and night, in case we cross the river at night and return, won't we have lost all our efforts? So we have to wait day and night by the river until His Majesty returns! ”

Lu Xun turned his head and glanced at the bustling crowd on the riverbank. Many people have already figured out how to make a picnic for cooking. In order to cross the river earlier, they preferred to wait day and night on the shore.

"What my sister said makes sense. Then wait on the shore, we have tents anyway. You see the people are sleeping in the open! Lu Xun rubbed his somewhat cold face, and finally found something to be happy about.

Gao Changgong walked over at this time and arched his hand: "Wu Meiren, little boy, the camp tent has been set up, and the wind is strong by the river, please go into the tent and rest!" ”

Wu Ruyi nodded and led Lu Xun into the tent. Gao Changgong followed.

"Did you send someone across the river to hear the news?" Wu Ruyi picked up the porcelain bowl and asked while drinking hot water.

No matter how cold it is, it will be bitter. I want to be the first to come and greet the Son of Heaven! As long as you can win the emperor's smile, no matter how much you pay, it's worth it!

Gao Changgong nodded: "An hour ago, I had already crossed the river with people and horses, and seven or eight brothers had gone to several post roads to inquire about the news, as long as I saw the traces of the return of the Son of Heaven, I would report back as quickly as possible." It's just that the boatman is too dark, and he spent a lot of money for no reason! ”

"As long as you can win the favor of Your Majesty, a little money is nothing!" Wu Ruyi said with a pleasant face, expressing satisfaction with Gao Changgong's arrangement.

After a bowl of hot water is served. Huo Ran got up: "Changgong, you take the doorman to protect my brother and wait by the river, I want to go back to the city!" ”

"My sister deceived people, and even deceived her younger brother to freeze by the river. But you have to run back to the city and enjoy yourself! ”

As soon as Wu Ruyi's words fell, Lu Xun immediately protested, pulling his sister's sleeve and not letting him leave.

Wu Ruyi glared at his younger brother sternly. Zhengse said: "My sister has something important to do when she returns to the city, and she will return as quickly as possible!" ”

Gao Changgong seemed to have realized: "Could it be that Wu Meiren is returning to the city for the sake of the demon road?" ”

"Exactly!" Wu Ruyi's answer was concise and crisp.

Gao Changgong smiled. Half of the sword was unsheathed, and he said confidently: "Why bother? Tonight, let someone touch the thatched house where this demon road lives. Kill it with a sword, set fire to the corpse and destroy the traces! ”

Wu Ruyi shook his head and said solemnly: "This can't be done, this demon Dao slandered me today, compared me to Daji, Bao Xi and the like, and clarified my identity to tens of thousands of refugees!" If he dies suddenly, gossip will be rampant, and I am afraid that the impact on me in the future will be immeasurable. I've already thought of a plan to get both, not only can I end the life of this demon in the open, but I can also erase the words he spit out! ”

After Wu Ruyi finished speaking, he strode out of the tent, turned over his horse, and went straight to Jinling City with more than a dozen doormen.

Gao Changgong held the long sword in his arms and stood at the door of the tent, letting the afterglow of the setting sun shine on his body. Looking at the back of Wu Ruyi riding away from the horse, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

"Tsk...... It seems that I still don't know this woman! Under his weak and beautiful appearance, there is a heart that is not inferior to a man! I am so thoughtful that I can't be respectful! ”

The distance from Moling to Jinling City is more than 20 miles, and it can be arrived in half an hour as soon as the horse is whipped.

Although it was dark, because the city wall was demolished and built, as long as there was a certificate to enter and exit the city, you could freely enter and exit Jinling at night.

Although the ancestral home of the Lu family is in Wu County, the family industry is huge, and there are shops in many counties in Jiangdong. The Son of Heaven takes Jinling as the capital, and will inevitably be the best candidate for the number one town in Jiangdong in the future, so within half a year, the inland family has invested in the construction of large-scale industries such as medicine shops, silk shops, grain and rice shops, and wine shops in Jinling, which are in charge of Wu Ruyi's cousin Lu Quan.

Wu Ruyi hurriedly returned to the Lu family's house, beckoned Lu Quan into the secret room, and asked straight to the point: "Uncle, my niece wants a medicine that makes people vomit and diarrhea after eating, feel uncomfortable, but can't die?" Is it possible? ”

Lu Quan looked stunned and asked in surprise: "What did Ruyi do with this strange medicine?" ”

"Uncle, don't ask, if you can do it, just do what I tell you!" Wu Ruyi's tone was unquestionable, "My niece can assure you that it is definitely not for harm!" The niece must do this for the sake of her own future! ”

Lu Quan hesitated slightly, nodded and said: "The shopkeeper Sun of the pharmacy has been with me for more than ten years, he is loyal, and he is proficient in medical skills, such a prescription should not be difficult for him, I will go to him to dispense medicine!" ”

When he walked to the door, he stopped and asked, "I forgot to ask my niece how many doses?" Is it used in a tea bowl or in a jar? ”

"In the well!" Wu Ruyi spit out two words expressionlessly.

Lu Quan was shocked for a while, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

But for this adopted niece who can lead the Lu family to the top in the future, Lu Quan didn't dare to say anything, only nodded his head: "Uncle, let's do it!" ”

Half an hour later, Lu Quan came back with two packets of medicine, one black and one white, and solemnly handed them over to his niece: "This medicine is carefully configured by the shopkeeper Sun, colorless and tasteless, enough to make thousands of people vomit and diarrhea, think twice when you use it!" The white medicine is the antidote, boiling and drinking it with boiling water can stop the diarrhea and relieve pain, and the niece must remember it! ”

"Thank you uncle for your assistance, when my niece has a future appearance, I won't forget your great kindness!"

Wu Ruyi was very satisfied with Lu Quan's expression, gave a good promise, and finally advised, "This matter is very important, uncle must not leak it!" ”

Lu Quan smiled: "What is my niece talking about, we are all a family!" Uncle believes that Ruyi will not mess around, and there must be hardships in doing so! ”

Wu Ruyi carried the two packets of medicine, got up and prepared to leave, and instructed before going out: "Let all the servants of the Lu family stay up all night tonight, cook enough white rice porridge to supply tens of thousands of people, and send it to the riverside early tomorrow morning." The niece is going to give porridge to the refugees! ”

"Tens of thousands?" Lu Quan was taken aback, "I'm just afraid that I need thousands of stone corn, right?" ”

Wu Ruyi's tone was resolute, and he couldn't tolerate the slightest question: "Only more, not less!" If we don't have enough rice in our Lu family's granary, we will go to other houses to buy it, in short, we must send it to the river before dawn! ”

"Okay, our Lu family's hired workers and servants in Jinling are at least six or seven hundred, and they should be able to do it before dawn." Lu Quan wiped his sweat and agreed.

Wu Ruyi nodded, and finally ordered: "I also have to prepare a black dog and a fishing net!" At dawn, send someone to send it to the river with rice porridge! ”

"Could it be that Ruyi has met someone who knows witchcraft?" Hearing her niece mention the black dog, Lu Quan asked as if she had an understanding.

"If there is a demon to slander me, I will definitely convince him to die!"

After Wu Ruyi left a cold sentence, he strode out of the secret room, turned on his horse, and led more than a dozen followers out of the Lu family's house.

Leaving the city was as smooth as entering the city, and half an hour later, Wu Ruyi and his party returned to the bank of the river.

Autumn is high and cool, and the crescent moon hangs in the air and shines on the riverside, which looks cold and deserted.

Under the moonlight, tens of thousands of displaced people on the shore are waiting all night to return to their hometown by boat, and the days of wandering are really miserable, and these people who have been devastated by war and tyranny can't wait to return to their hometown.

Although the ferries on the river ferries day and night, at the end of the day, they will only be able to transport more than 10,000 people to the other side, and there are at least tens of thousands of refugees waiting to cross the river in the south of the Yangtze River, and new returning refugees will gather on the river every day. Therefore, although the ferries on the river shuttle back and forth, there are many people waiting to cross the river.

Tens of thousands of refugees stretched for miles along the river, and Yu Ji's thatched hut was under a small hill, and the horses were close to it, and candlelight could be vaguely seen inside.

Wu Ruyi turned over and dismounted, greeted an entourage, and commanded in his ear: "Secretly sprinkle this medicine into the well of the demon road!" ”

These disciples have followed Lu Jun for many years, and they are deeply favored by the Lu family, and they are all men who can give up their lives for the Lu family. Loyalty is by no means comparable to Gao Changgong, who has just met, which is why Wu Ruyi did not take Gao Changgong back to the city.

The doorman took the medicine bag from Wu Ruyi's hand, nodded and said, "Don't worry, little lady, the villain will be the same!" ”

After the doorman had just walked a few steps, Wu Ruyi changed his mind again, summoned back and advised: "This demon path is very weird, I'm just afraid that if you go to the medicine like this, your whereabouts will be exposed, and it will be self-defeating." It's better for me to entangle him in the hut, and then you wait for the opportunity to put medicine, so that you can be foolproof! (To be continued......) R1292
