As soon as Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, a sneer suddenly came, "If your father Zheng Zhilong hadn't been afraid of death and had been reluctant to summon you from Fujian, how could it lead to today's situation?"

The person who came was a thin middle-aged man in his early fifties, with his long and narrow triangular eyes emitting a cunning light.

Chen Yilong glanced at the man, and soon his face changed and bowed, "So it's Lord Ruan, Minister of War! Why are you here too?"

Lord Ruan, Minister of War? Isn’t it Ruan Dacheng? Yu Wan stared at him for a moment, and it took a long time to confirm the identity of this person.

"As the Minister of War, after hearing the news of the crisis in Nanjing, I spent all my money and recruited 30,000 to 40,000 village warriors from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to go to Beijing to serve the king. I naturally want to relieve my worries. When my father is in danger, I don't stand by like some people who want to protect themselves!"

Zheng Chenggong naturally heard Ruan Dacheng's implicit voice. It seemed that he was not very interested in the Minister of War. "Mr. Ruan's loyalty and sincerity is really touching. It's just that Yangzhou has been surrounded for nearly a month. Could it be that these people were recruited from overseas? It took so long?"

Ruan Dacheng, a man named Yu Wan, was a treacherous minister who was ranked alongside Ma Shiying. In official history, when the Qing army crossed Qiantang, Ruan Dacheng took the lead in shaving his hair and surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. Yu Wan naturally looked down on this national scum.

He was nowhere to be seen when he was fighting alone, and Zheng Chenggong came as soon as he arrived. It was estimated that this grandson was about to lead the crowd into the capital to capture the king and sacrifice to the Qing court, but unexpectedly, his appearance disrupted the overall plan, so he appeared at the last moment to grab the credit.

Now that the strong enemy has just retreated, Nanjing City has finally been temporarily saved, and the signs of internal strife between the Dongming army have begun to appear.

The two major groups, led by Zheng Chenggong and Ruan Dacheng, will greatly consume their already weak and limited forces.

But Yu Wan was very happy to see this result. After all, his fundamental purpose was to protect the weak Western Ming court. If the Eastern Army united in unity, the losses he suffered in the future would be immeasurable.

His current strategy for Dongming is: not to let the other party perish or not to let the other party be powerful. Now that the goal has been achieved, it is not appropriate to stay in this place of right and wrong. While the two giants are fighting hard, they quietly retreated with Chen Yilong.

After a big battle, Yu Wan was so tired that after returning to Chen's mansion, he kept saying that Chen Yilong's wife was scolded, and after having a full meal, he prepared all the items before setting off.

After taking the medicine, the toxicity in the body was no longer serious. Although his arms were still not very flexible, he could ride a horse.

After the two bid farewell to Chen Yilong and his wife, they rode back in the scorching sun!

This time, the eastward journey was quite rewarding. Not only did he find the ordnance expert Dai Zi, but he also repelled the Qing army and saved Nanjing City. He also met Zheng Chenggong and Chen Yilong and other pillars, which laid a good foundation for the future Eastern Expedition.

———

Three days later, Jiangjiazhuang.

This place is located 60 miles southwest of Wuhu, and is a transportation hub that combines water and land. The reason why Yu Wan took the Yu River here was to explore the battle between Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong.

Zuo Liangyu wanted to annex the Dongming in one fell swoop. It was a good thing to have such ambition, but the Western Army itself was a mob, and the supply of military supplies and food supplies was also a difficult problem.

What's more, Guo Shixun was making trouble - Yu Wanke didn't think he would sit idly by and watch Zuo Liangyu annex Dongming, so this person would definitely make small moves behind his back.

Therefore, the best result of Zuo Liangyu's expedition this time was to escape unscathed, otherwise the entire army would be lost here!

The situation in Jiangjiazhuang has made Yu Wanxiang’s premonition even stronger.

If this place of water and land intersecting, it should have been prosperous and lively, but Yu Wan walked along the way and saw that there were only a lot of people everywhere.

It was too incredible that the whole village was bright at all at night.

"We'll just have one night here first?"

The two of them came to a thatched hut at the east end of the village, and Yu Wan tied up a horse and said to Chu Yan.

"what ever."

Chu Yan was still as cold as frost. He pushed the door and went in, lit the flint with a "swish" and lit the candle on the desk.

I thought that the last time I stood up to save the beauty had captured the hearts of the beauty, but I didn't expect that she was still so unsavory to herself, so Yu Wan had to shake her head and smile bitterly into the house.

The house is not big, only more than 20 square meters, with no kitchen, balcony, and bathroom. The house is filled with dry firewood and dry grass. The most valuable one is the can of rice wine hidden in the corner of the wall. It seems that it has been a bit old.

Let’s sleep here for one night first, and find a way to find out the battle situation in Wuhu tomorrow morning!

Yu Wan brought a bundle of thatch, threw it straight beside Chu Yan, and lay down beautifully.

"You're going to sleep next to me tonight?"

Chu Yan stood up suddenly, tightened the buttons on his chest, and glared at Yu Wan with cold eyes.

Yu Wan said innocently, "You can sleep in the whole room with you. Where can I go if I don't come here?"

"If you are not afraid of death, just sleep. If you dare to do something transcendent at night, I will definitely cut off your hands!"

"Why are you so fierce? I said, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I am not that casual, right?"

Just when Yu Wan was teasing, Chu Yan's face suddenly changed, he looked outside the door and said, "Someone is coming!"

After half a cup of tea, there were indeed bursts of rapid footsteps outside the house, and a young girl in torn clothes pushed the door and broke in.

When she saw Yu Wan and Chu Yan both holding the sharp blades tightly, her originally panicked pretty face added a bit of fear.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Wan put down the Yufeng Sword and slowly stepped forward to pull her to Chu Yan's side.

The girl seemed like a frightened rabbit, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and hid behind Chu Yan tremblingly, "There are... officers and soldiers chasing me...they...they are about to arrive!"

Officers and soldiers?

Yu Wan frowned slightly. Could it be that the war in Wuhu has affected Jiangjiazhuang dozens of miles later? Is the person coming from the East or the West?

Just as Yu Wan was thinking hard, there were crisp sounds of horse hooves and long shouts coming from outside.

"Brother Zhang, there is a light, this little girl is probably hiding there!"

"I slaughtered the whole village and chased it all the way from the swamp by the river. Just for this little girl, I can't let her run away anymore."

"Hey, why are there two horses at the door? Is there anyone outside entering the village?"

"Can it be Zuo Liangyu? Brothers, go in and take a look!"

...

After a noise, the disrepaired door was kicked away, and then more than a dozen strong men in Eastern Army armor rushed into the head, with a big, thick and thick face full of flesh. It was obvious that it was not easy to mess with.

The group of officers and soldiers quickly surrounded Yu Wan and the others. After headmaster Zhang glanced at the situation in the room, he quickly turned his attention to the young girl, but soon his eyes were glowing and breathing rapidly to Chu Yan.

"Oh, I really didn't expect to meet such a fairy here. It's really a reward for hard work. It's not wasteful for me to work hard all night. God is not bad to us!"

The other soldiers also drooled. More than a dozen pairs of thieves' eyes had already stroked Chu Yan's three-dimensional dimensions. It took a long time to flatter, "The most beautiful one is naturally enjoyed by Brother Zhang. Let's play with the other little hoof! Hahaha, I can finally get a meaty meal tonight!"

After hearing what my subordinates said, Leader Zhang said with a carefree heart, "I, Old Zhang, have always valued loyalty the most. No one can blame you for your brothers. Since everyone has fallen in love with the little beauty in front of me, I will reward you with my brothers after I finish my work and let you be immortals!"

The group of officers and soldiers looked at Chu Yan like a hungry tiger, as if Yu Wan had no air.

While speaking, Leader Zhang had already taken off his armor and walked up with a lewd smile, wishing he could swallow Chu Yan alive immediately!

"I'm resting, why do you guys come in and disturb me?"

Yu Wan stood up coldly, glanced at everyone with cold eyes and said.

Thank you for your rewards from brothers Liu Yifan! Thank you for your support
