Chapter 901: Youzhou Attacked

The emperor couldn't help but think of Jiang Youzhen, and suddenly an idea came to him.

Jiang Youzhen is a man of strategy and he has a wide range of interests, so military deployment should not be a problem. As for military force, he heard that Jiang Youzhen also has some.

But soon the emperor shook his head again, No! Absolutely not!

After being anxious for more than an hour, the emperor finally had a candidate in mind.

"Zhou Zhong, quickly and secretly summon Duke Qin to see me!"

The emperor gave instructions to the chief steward Zhou, and then asked him to call a young eunuch in and prepare to go to the imperial study.

He had to draft an imperial edict immediately because the border guards couldn't wait a moment.

Two days passed like this, and finally someone couldn't sit still anymore.

"That Ke Zhenqiu wants to see you!" Qin Yandong walked into Jiang Youzhen's study and said.

"He has been left alone for so long, he should be getting anxious." Jiang Youzhen put down his paintbrush and admired his painting of the snowy mountains.

"You actually still have the leisure to paint. Prince Yuanming has sent someone to urge you to find the tiger talisman as soon as possible."

Qin Yandong walked over to Jiang Youzhen, took a look at the painting, and said in surprise: "Your painting is pretty good!"

This is a picture of an eagle on a snowy mountain. The bleak snow scene makes the eagle hovering in the sky seem even more lonely.

"But it seems like something is missing! The lower right corner is a bit monotonous." Qin Yandong pointed at that place.

Jiang Youzhen just smiled slightly, then picked up the brush. With just a few strokes, a soldier wearing armor and riding a horse appeared on the paper.

"Why is Prince Yuanming in such a hurry? Now that the tiger talisman is missing, he can only wait for the court to send a brave general with the tiger talisman. He can just wait patiently.

Anyway, there has been no movement from Beiming recently, so he is just afraid that Beiming will invade, but definitely not in the next few days. "Jiang Youzhen sneered.

"That's right. If the enemy invades, he will be the first to suffer. Without General Dingyuan in charge, he will be the first to go up to meet the enemy. How can he not be afraid?" Qin Yandong snorted coldly.

"I don't know what's going on in the capital. Who do you think the emperor will send?" Qin Yandong said with a sigh.

He wanted his grandfather to come, but he was also afraid that it would be dangerous for him to come. His grandfather was already old and had not fought against the enemy at the border for many years. He was afraid that he would not be able to do the job!

To be given a task in a time of crisis means a life-or-death situation!

"Don't worry! If we calculate the time, our people can reach Youzhou. Youzhou is also close to the capital, so we still have time to ask for help. Besides, Duke Qin is both wise and brave, how could he be plotted against by those villains?"

Jiang Youzhen shook his head. If it was really the Duke of Qin, then things would be easy.

The Duke of Qin, whom they were discussing, was experiencing a bloody battle at this time. He had just arrived in Youzhou and was attacked before he had time to check into the inn.

Hundreds of assassins were at the city gate, ambushing them less than three miles away. This time he went to the border with a total of fifty guards, setting off at night and walking for less than two days.

Although the emperor did not announce it, the court soon received the news, and a fierce battle broke out shortly after leaving the capital.

The emperor ordered elite troops from the Capital Guard to escort them, but several of them were killed just after they left the capital.

Originally, Duke Qin had no plan to stay in Youzhou, but he changed his mind and realized that going to the border would be dangerous and if he didn't have reliable and capable generals, he would be in danger of death.

So he traveled day and night, preparing to go directly to Youzhou to join Lu Bei. Lu Bei was the deputy commander of Youzhou, and his eldest son was also a very powerful warrior. With the help of the two of them, he had a better chance of winning.

I didn't expect that those people would dare to ambush just three miles away from the city gate. They simply didn't take the imperial court seriously.

The noise was so loud that it attracted the guards at the city gate. Soon the government sent reinforcements, but unfortunately the ambushing black-clad men were well-trained and skilled in martial arts, and the guards were no match for them.

Duke Qin looked at the men in black with brutal moves and realized that they were probably all death warriors.

The Commandery was far from the city gate, and it would take about half a day to get there. It was impossible for Lu Bei to come to the rescue because he had not yet informed Lu Bei of his arrival in Youzhou.

"Master! The situation is critical. We can't enter the city gate. It's better to go directly to the Metropolitan Commandery."

The Commandery was outside the city, and there was still a half-day journey ahead. Duke Qin originally wanted to go into the city to rest and directly notify Lu Bei to meet him in the city. Because the Commandery needed to take a detour, he couldn't catch up, but now he was afraid that he couldn't enter the city.

Suddenly, a group of masked men in black clothes and wearing purple waistcoats quickly attacked from all directions.

At some point, a lot of archers appeared on the trees.

"Master?" The guard was horrified, thinking that the enemy had arrived to reinforce.

It was already difficult enough to deal with those men in black, and if more reinforcements came, it would be impossible for them to escape unscathed this time.

Duke Qin's face was solemn. He originally wanted to say that he would lead his men to leave first, and the others would cover the rear. Because he had the tiger talisman given by the emperor himself, he could not lose any of it.

However, just as he gave the order, he discovered that the masked men who came later had already started fighting with the previous group.

The situation immediately turned around, and the guards brought by Duke Qin finally got a break. With their participation, they were invincible. In just a few moments, all those assassins were killed by the sword.

A leader immediately came to Duke Qin and bowed, "I am Jiang Feng, a subordinate. I am here on the orders of the Imperial Envoy, Lord Jiang, to reinforce the Duke and escort him to the border with my guards."

"Who is it? Lord Jiang?" Duke Qin was surprised. "Is it Jiang Youzhen?"

"That's right! My master specially ordered me to rush to Youzhou from the border seven days ago to meet you. The border is dangerous and I'm afraid it will be difficult and dangerous, but the situation at the border is serious. I hope you can arrive as soon as possible. Please forgive me for your hard work!"

Duke Qin was shocked. "How did your master know that the court would send me to the border? And why did he stay in Youzhou?"

"My Lord has asked Qin Sicheng, and he knows that you have an old friend in Youzhou. I'm afraid you will go to the border with me this time, so I was ordered to wait here. Lord Lu has already brought people to wait in the teahouse ahead, waiting to go with you."

Duke Qin was speechless, for he knew very well that Jiang Youzhen had not recommended him to the emperor in his memorial, and that the emperor had carefully considered letting him come to the border.

His decision to bring Rubei along was also a spur-of-the-moment decision, but Jiang Youzhen was able to calculate that the emperor would send him to the border, and also calculated that he would bring Rubei along, which was simply unbelievable.

The imperial edict requesting Lu Bei to go with him was still in his arms, but it turned out that Lu Bei was already waiting for him on the road.

"Your master is indeed a man of worldly wisdom!"

Duke Qin originally had no confidence in guarding the border, but now after seeing Jiang Youzhen's strength, he suddenly became more confident.

Jiang Youzhen is at the border, what is he afraid of?

"Okay! Lead the way!" Duke Qin waved his hand, and the group quickly sped towards the official road again.

That night! Prince Yuanming invited Jiang Youzhen to a banquet and was determined to welcome her back.

The sound of stringed instruments was heard throughout the banquet. Jiang Youzhen watched the beauty dancing in front of him, but his eyes swept across to Ke Zhenqiu who was sitting diagonally opposite him.

She was really surprised that this kid could actually convince Prince Yuan Ming to plead with her and release him.
