    Yu Ren showed a sneer and said, "Even now, you are still pretending to me! I was just careless. I didn't expect that Yu Gege was such a scheming person, so I fell into your hands. If I had known Yu Gege earlier  As a person, I won¡¯t fall for your poisonous scent.¡± Yu Gege smiled proudly, ¡°Brother-in-law, you are too kind. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t embarrass you. Otherwise, if Miss Xiaoqian finds out in the future, I won¡¯t.  It's not going to be bad. Let's go out for a walk. When they withdraw from Zhenjiang tomorrow, I will let you go." Yu Ren sneered again, "Yu Gege, do you think I'm that stupid at all?  You don¡¯t plan to change cities with them now. Don¡¯t you think I can¡¯t tell? If you really plan to change cities, why don¡¯t you stay there and wait, but find someone to pretend to be you and me to confuse them, and then disguise yourself?  Come here?" Yu Qier smiled slightly after hearing Yu Ren's words, "Oh! What do you think I'm going to do?" "If my guess is correct, why are you looking for someone to pretend to be you?  I just wanted to confuse Mao Wenlong's men who were following me quietly from Zhenjiang. But you took me in disguise and headed east, obviously wanting to go to Yizhou City and take the waterway back to Liaoyang from there because you were worried that the land route would be blocked.  Mao Wenlong intercepted. "Am I right?" Yu Qier smiled brightly, "Brother-in-law is really smart. No wonder Sister Xiaoqian is so obsessed with you. It's a pity that you are the smartest person I have ever met."  Although they have seen through my plan, there is no way to inform your people. When they find out tomorrow that what I gave them is just a fake Yu Ren, we will have already left the Yalu River Estuary by boat." Yu Qi Ren stopped talking. He knew that Yu Qi Ren.  What I said is true.  He was so weak now that it was difficult to even walk, so naturally he couldn't inform Liang Zongyi and the others.  I just look forward to seeing if I can find an opportunity when I get to Yiju.  The mules and horses they rode were not moving very fast, but Yizhou City was not more than twenty or thirty miles away from Zhenjiang, so they entered the city before dark.  After Yu Qier entered the city, she took Yu Ren to find the local general who defended the city.  Because Yizhou City is close to the Yalu River to the west and adjacent to Zhenjiang City, there are only a few dozen defenders here. Including the original Zhenjiang defenders who fled here when Ma Dacheng attacked the city a few days ago, there are only more than a hundred people in total.  And most of these are Han people who have taken refuge with the Jurchens.  Although the guards of Yizhou City had never met Yu Qier because their rank was too low, the former Zhenjiang defenders who escaped knew Yu Qier.  Hearing that Yugege wanted a boat to go to sea, the guard couldn't help but feel embarrassed.  The Jurchens never had a navy or warships.  "When will Gege want it? Although we don't have a boat, the Koreans have sea boats. I will send people to grab one from them now. However, Yiju is a small place, and you can only find some small fishing boats around. If you want to find a big boat,  It will take half a month to go to Pyongyang." The guard general of Yizhou hesitated and suggested this more risky method.  "No, it's too long. I'm going to sea tomorrow. If I really can't find a big boat, I can find a small boat. However, I still need to find two boatmen." Yu Qier made a decision immediately.  She knew that time was running out. When Mao Wenlong found out tomorrow that the Yu Ren exchanged was fake, he would surely think that she might take Yu Ren around Yizhou and return to Liaoyang by water.  With Yizhou¡¯s small number of troops, they would not be able to defend it if Mao Wenlong attacked.  Therefore, Yu Qier must run quickly.  The guard general of Yizhou was very attentive. He sent troops overnight and went to a small fishing village on the edge of Yizhou city to rob two small fishing boats and capture two fishermen.  Yu Qier felt relieved when she saw that although the boat was small, it could still accommodate seven or eight people.  In her understanding, as long as she can do it, she can go to sea.  But when the two fishermen heard that they were going to Port Arthur by sea, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.  "Our boat is too small. At this time of year, there are occasional strong winds on the sea. If we have to travel such a long sea route, we are afraid that the boat will be blown over by the wind before we reach it!" said the older fisherman.  The two fishermen were a father and son. The young man had been shaking slightly since he was captured, while the older fisherman seemed much calmer than his son.  At this time, when he heard that Yu Qier wanted them to sail this boat to sea, the old man couldn't help but speak.  But Yu Qier thought they didn¡¯t want to go and were deliberately looking for excuses to dodge. So with a cold look on her pretty face, she pulled out the "Long Yuan" sword and put it on the fisherman¡¯s neck.  "I don't believe your nonsense. If you say so, you won't sail out to sea? Do you only fish in this river every time? But I heard that there are often fish in your village.  Seafood is for sale! Don¡¯t try to play any tricks with me, otherwise I will kill you with my sword. At worst, I will just find another person to use the ship.¡± After Yu Qier said this, she took back the sword.  The fisherman was raped by Yu Qier"Long Yuan" was placed on his neck. He felt the cold air on the sword, and his face changed color with fear. He dared not say anything more, so he could only nod his head. Early the next morning, Yu Qier took Yu Ren on a boat.  Going out to sea. The two fishermen never dared to say another word since they were threatened by Yu Qier. The small fishing boat didn't move slowly. One day later, they left the Yalu River.  Entering the Bohai Sea, fortunately, the sea waves were light these days. Although their boat was small, they were not worried about being capsized by big waves. However, for the sake of safety, the fisherman and his son still drove the boat as close to the land as possible.  In order to avoid strong winds at any time, there are many islands and reefs in this area. Fortunately, the fisherman and his son are very familiar with the waters in this area. The boat did not hit any reefs after two days of traveling.  But it was obviously getting farther and farther away from the land. Yu Ren had been messing around a lot in the sea in recent years. Although he was not familiar with this area, he still knew some common sense. He saw that the boat was getting farther and farther away from the land.  , Yu Ren couldn't help but worry. He was not Yu Qier, and he knew the risks of going to sea in such a small boat. But because of his status, he knew that he would not be able to raise objections.  , he believed that Yu Qier would not believe him. She would only think that Yu Ren was deliberately making excuses to delay so that Mao Wenlong could send someone to rescue him. But now that he saw the boat moving farther and farther away from the land, Yu Ren finally endured it.  He couldn't help but ask the old man, "Old man, why don't we drive to the shore?"  If a boat as small as ours sails into the deep sea, it will definitely capsize as long as the wind and waves are slightly stronger.  The risk is too great.  " The old man glanced at Yu Qier next to him and saw that she didn't speak. Then he replied to Yu Ren, "There's nothing I can do about it!  There are so many reefs in the shallow waters near the land that I dare not leave!  Had to go a little further.  Fortunately, this section of water is not too long. As long as you go past Deer Island, you will be fine.  The water behind this is no longer reef-free for a long distance.  All the way to Changshan Island.  Although there are more reefs in the section behind Changshan Island, we can take the land route for this section instead of taking the risk of taking the sea route.  From the Changshan Island area, we can go to Hongzuibao.  You two can go to Hongzui Fort to borrow a horse from the Jurchens.  It¡¯s also very quick to go to Lushun by horseback.  " After the old man finished speaking, he looked at Yu Qier with some anxiety. In his opinion, although this method was the safest, the girl seemed a little suspicious. If she thought that she was deliberately making excuses to be lazy, she might kill her.  He killed himself. However, this time Yu Qier was not angry after hearing the old man¡¯s approach, but she was very happy. ¡°Can our ship sail all the way to Hongzui Fort?  " "Yes, there is a small river next to Hongzui Fort that leads directly to the sea.  Our boat is small and we can walk on that small river.  I walked this road twenty years ago.  "The old man saw that Yu Qier was not angry, and his worried heart was relieved. "That's great, just follow the route you said!  When you get to Hongzui Castle, I will reward you with ten taels of gold.  Yu Qier said, taking out a small piece of gold leaf from her arms and handing it to the old fisherman. When the fisherman saw Yu Qier suddenly rewarded him with a gold leaf, although he wanted it in his heart, when he thought of Yu Qier's sword, he couldn't bear it.  He suppressed the desire in his heart again. "We don't dare to ask for payment for operating the ship for the two masters.  " The Yizhou area has been ruled by the Jurchens for more than ten years. The Han people here have long been accustomed to treating the Jurchens as their masters, at least on the surface. That's why the old man called Yu Qier and Yu Ren his masters.  He thought Yu Ren was also a Jurchen. Yu Ren reached out and took the gold leaf from Yu Qier's hand and forced it into the old man's hand. "Just take it!"  This is what you deserve.  The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!  You don¡¯t get paid for your work, and you eat whatever you want.  " Seeing that Yu Ren was sincere and seeing that he was always kind and cheerful, unlike Yu Qier who always had a straight face, the old man reached out and took the gold leaf, and then thanked Yu Ren and Yu Qier.  , and then they continued to rock the boat. That afternoon, their boat approached Deer Island.
