    Zhu Yueyue was the first to arrive. She was about to rescue Yu Ren alone, when Ruolan hurriedly came to inform her that Yu Ren was back.  Not long after Zhu Yueyue arrived, Ma Dacheng and Liang Zongyi also arrived.  I heard that a Jurchen came from outside the city, saying that Yu Ren was in their hands, and that they should withdraw from Zhenjiang in exchange for Yu Ren's life. Everyone couldn't help but have a headache.  "Zhenjiang City is indeed very important, and their capture of the city this time was not as smooth as they imagined. If they give up, it will be too difficult to take it back again.  But if we don't withdraw, what if the Jurchens really kill Yu Ren!  They don¡¯t dare to take this risk. The strategic significance of Zhenjiang City is certainly important, but compared with Yu Ren¡¯s life, its value in everyone¡¯s mind is very different.  In Zhu Yueyue's heart, of course, nothing can be compared with Yu Ren's life; for Liang Zongyi, although Zhenjiang City is important, it cannot be compared with Yu Ren's life.  But for Ma Dacheng, in his eyes, although the life of Yu Ren, the prince-in-law, is important, at the moment when the survival of the family and the country is at stake, a Zhenjiang city may be able to reverse the strategic passivity of the Ming Dynasty, thereby making the Ming Dynasty more competitive with the Ming Dynasty.  The battle between the Jurchens turned from defense to offense.  Therefore, compared with Yu Ren's life, Ma Dacheng still believed that Zhenjiang City was more important.  When Mao Fugui saw everyone coming, he stopped talking.  Zhu Yueyue clamored to go outside the city to have a look, but Liang Zongyi stopped her.  "Princess, don't worry. Now that the Jurchens are here, if they want to trade him for the city, they will not harm him easily. If he is not in the hands of the Jurchens, and they are just lying to us, then we  There¡¯s no need to worry. We have to figure out a way now. Even if we trade Zhenjiang City, we still have to keep a backup plan.¡± Zhu Yueyue sat down again after hearing Liang Zongyi¡¯s words.  Now that Yu Ren is away, Liang Zongyi is in charge of everything. Although she is Yu Ren's wife, she is obviously not as thoughtful as Liang Zongyi on these important matters.  The main reason for the quarrel last night was that she didn't know Yu Ren's life or death. Now that she knew he was fine for the time being, she calmed down.  "In my opinion, if the Jurchens are really willing to trade Zhenjiang City with us in exchange for their husband, there is nothing wrong with it. Anyway, we currently control Zhenjiang City. Although we evacuate, we can quietly leave a group of people and  They are hiding in the city. When Mr. Yu comes back, we will fight back. With this group of people acting as internal agents, I believe it will not be difficult to retake Zhenjiang. As far as I know, there are no important Jurchen strongholds around Zhenjiang.  It will take at least seven days to mobilize troops from the direction of Liaoyang. By then, we will have recaptured Zhenjiang." Liang Zongyi spoke first.  "I think Brother Liang's analysis is reasonable, but we should confirm first whether Mr. Yu is really in their hands. In addition, the Jurchens are afraid that they will not be so stupid. I am afraid that they will still go back to Zhenjiang.  Don¡¯t let go, sir, and wait until reinforcements arrive before fulfilling your promise. If that happens, our Zhenjiang City will really be lost.¡± It was Ma Dacheng who spoke.  The night before yesterday, when he and more than a hundred people took advantage of the lack of defenders in Zhenjiang City, the escort pretending to be Yugege deceived the city gate and then entered the city and captured Zhenjiang.  Ma Dacheng's meaning was obvious. He did not want to take this risk with Zhenjiang City.  Although Ma Dacheng only belongs to a hundred households, he is the representative of the officers and soldiers.  Now nearly half of the troops here in Zhenjiang are officers and soldiers.  In the absence of Yu Ren, Ma Dacheng naturally became the representative of that half of the officers and soldiers.  Therefore, Liang Zongyi frowned when he heard Ma Dacheng's words.  Zhu Yueyue listened to people discussing here, but no feasible solution was found, so she couldn't help but become anxious.  "What's the use of talking here. Why don't we go see our husband first? Let's see how the Jurchens react, and then we can act according to their requirements!" Liang Zongyi thought for a while and nodded, "That's the only way to go first." Everyone.  When he came to the outside of the city with "Mao Wenlong" in his arms, seeing Yang Gutai still waiting at the bottom of the city, Ma Dacheng immediately shouted, "Jurchen, you said General Yu is in your hands, where is he? You have to show us  Take a look!" Yang Gutai raised his head and said to the city, "I know you won't give up." After saying that, Yang Gutai put his hand in his mouth and let out a scream.  Yu Qier, who was hiding in the dense forest not far away, heard the whistle and rode Yu Ren to the city.  She knew that she had guessed it right.  This Mao Wenlong must have a close relationship with Yu Ren.  It seems that as long as Yu Ren is in hand, it will be easy to take back Zhenjiang City.  However, Yu Qier has no plans to take Zhenjiang City back immediately.  Because they had too few men and horses at hand, even if they exchanged Yu Ren for Zhenjiang City, they still couldn't hold it.  Liang Zongyi thought of this, and so did she.  With Yu Ren, a heavyweight player, in her hands, Yu Qier felt that Zhenjiang City had already?'s not important anymore.  The reason why she wanted to take Yu Ren to the city was just to show Yu Ren how she could expose his lies.  Yu Qier brought Yu Ren, who was "tortured" and miserable, to the city.  When everyone saw that it was indeed Yu Ren, they couldn't help but feel relieved.  Yu Ren disappeared before. Although they were probably captured by the Jurchens, their life and death were uncertain. Although he became a prisoner at this time, at least everyone knew that he was still alive.  Yu Ren is already the soul here and the backbone of everyone. If he dies, they really don¡¯t know what to do next.  When Zhu Yueyue saw Yu Ren's "miserable" appearance, she couldn't help but feel an unknown anger rising in her heart.  Especially when she saw Yu Qier holding Yu Ren's neck with a knife, she almost couldn't help but rush down to the city with the sword.  Ruolan, who was on the side, also felt Zhu Yueyue's murderous intent, and quickly and quietly pulled her back a few steps, whispering, "Princess, please don't be angry, your husband is still in their hands, we must not anger them, so as not to hurt your husband.  Let's exchange the city for the husband first, and then slowly deal with that Jurchen Gege. "Ruolan is a smart person, and she has been getting along with Zhu Yueyue for a long time. In addition, she is very careful about Zhu Yueyue's temper.  clear.  After listening to Ruolan's advice, Zhu Yueyue suppressed the anger in her heart and stood behind everyone.  But Yu Qier, who was under the city, felt something at this moment.  She felt the "Long Yuan" in her hand trembled slightly in the sheath, and made a low sound.  Although Yu Qier didn't know the origin of this sword, she knew that it was a divine sword.  Such an artifact will connect with the owner¡¯s spirit.  Since the sword is whispering, it means that its owner is not far away at this time, and he has obviously had murderous intentions against him. Only the murderous intention of the owner can trigger the whisper of the divine sword. Yu Qier has heard it said before.  Yu Qier is a smart person, she knows that she is absolutely no match for this mysterious man.  If he didn't leave, he might leave without his life.  So, before everyone in the city could say anything, Yu Qier decisively shouted to the city, "I'll give you one day, and I will bring people to capture the city at midnight tomorrow. If you haven't evacuated Zhenjiang by then,  Then don't blame me for being ruthless." As she said that, Yu Qier deliberately moved the knife a few inches closer to Yu Ren's neck.  "Okay. It's settled then. Tomorrow at midnight, we will hand over the people with one hand and the city with the other." Under Liang Zongyi's instruction, Mao Fugui replied loudly to the city.  Yu Qier didn¡¯t wait for Mao Fugui to finish what he said, turned his horse¡¯s head and rushed towards where he came from.  When she came to the forest where her subordinates gathered, Yu Qier called Yang Gutai to her side and asked him to find a subordinate with a similar figure to herself to pretend to be herself. She also found someone to pretend to be Yu Ren, and also specially put her own mount on it.  Left to them.  Then she changed Yu Ren and herself into peasant clothes snatched from a Han village, mounted a mule, and made a large circle toward the east of Zhenjiang.  Yu Ren silently watched Yu Qier do all this. It was not until Yu Qier took him to ride a mule eastward alone that he sighed.  "We Han people are all said to be cunning, but I think Yu Gege is even worse than us Han people!" Yu Qier smiled softly, "I don't understand what my brother-in-law said. You have been the one who has been deceiving me all this time.  Why do you think I'm being cunning now?"
