At this moment, the sister of Zhang Mancheng provided Yang Rui with a choice. When they were out for some fresh air, the lady in white had learned about Bo Ji, Bo Cai, and his wife from the conversation between Yang Rui and Cheng Yu. She offered to take care of them for Yang Rui!
Yang Rui's first reaction was to reject the lady in white's suggestion. Her motive alone was very suspicious!
However, Yang Rui was still shocked when the lady in white gently pricked Bo Ji's ear and easily put him down! He didn't expect the lady in white to be so powerful!
"I've been studying the art of healing and saving people. My skills are a joke to you, General! If you trust me, you can put Bo Ji, Bo Cai, and his wife in one place and let me take care of them. I only hope that you can spare our lives! "
The woman in white clasped her hands and bowed. Her usually emotionless expression, coupled with her frank temperament, made people believe her a little more.
But how could Yang Rui easily believe her just based on her words?!
"This lady is telling the truth. If Blazing Sun can't arrange for the captive Yellow Turbans, you can trust her!"
However, after receiving confirmation from Cheng Yu, Yang Rui was relieved.
Cheng Yu's unique skill was "detection". Detecting the enemy's situation on the battlefield was only one of its functions. However, it was most effective when it came to targeting individuals!
In the next two days, after being pricked by the lady in white, Bo Ji behaved himself. Other than eating and sleeping, he didn't say a word. He looked like a fool, as if he had lost his consciousness!
In the end, Yang Rui temporarily excused himself from Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, Cheng Yu, and County Magistrate Chen. He returned to Juping County and sent Zhang Mancheng, his sister, and Bo Ji back to Mountain Town from the Storage Ring. He placed them in the broken ship in the Black Dragon Lake.
This time. The number of Big Yellow Turban leaders on the ship had reached three. Among them, Bo Cai and Zhang Mancheng were still unconscious, while Bu Ji had been turned silly by the white-clothed girl's acupuncture technique! If the woman in white could fulfill her promise, then she could take care of these people! As for Bo Cai's wife, she was just an ordinary woman, so there wouldn't be any trouble.
As for Liu Zheng and Yang Lai, who had been captured earlier. He was only a small leader of the Yellow Turban County. His strength did not exceed the level of a mid-level general. It was enough to lock him up in the wooden prison! Later, when Yang Rui and Cheng Yu worked together to eliminate the Yellow Turbans in Yan Province, they chose to directly eliminate them!
After settling the captives, Yang Rui took care of the internal affairs of Mountain Town and Wutun Town in Jiangji. He gave Wang Hai the 16 sets of basic inner force cultivation methods and related skill books he had just obtained, and asked him to arrange for him to level up and advance to a basic general. After that, Yang Rui brought along two hundred newly promoted Fourth Grade riders and hurried back to Dong Ah County to wait for the arrival of Emperor Han Ling's imperial edict. At this point, Yang Rui had brought close to fifteen hundred riders!
In truth, Yang Rui still had some hopes for Huangfu Song's memorial. He didn't know if Emperor Han Ling would give him a reward or a promotion. This way, it would be much easier to upgrade his city and territory next time. Secondly, he had to wait for the imperial edict to arrive. He had to participate in the operation to eliminate the Yellow Turbans in Ji Province with Huangfu Song's troops! Thinking about it, once the imperial edict arrived, the decisive battle between Han Ting and Zhang Jiao would be imminent!
However, after waiting for nearly half a month, there was still no reply from the imperial edict. Huangfu Song waited anxiously and had already sent three more memorials back to Luoyang. He didn't know what Emperor Han Ling was planning, so he kept delaying it.
After half a month, Yang Rui could often hang out with Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, and the others, drinking and getting closer to them. At the same time. Cao Cao was also getting closer to Cheng Yu. This wasn't a good sign.
As for the relationship between Yang Rui and Cao Cao, it was only a casual acquaintance. Due to his position and strength, Cao Cao had always looked down on Yang Rui. Yang Rui didn't want to gain any benefits from Cao Cao in the first place. He wasn't like some players who were eager to suck up to someone! Thus, even though Yang Rui could see Cao Cao every day, he wasn't able to establish a proper relationship with him!
As for the rest of his free time, Yang Rui used it all to practice the Beginner's Inner Strength Mantra! Yang Rui had obtained three Qi Fostering Pills when he looted the Wancheng County Magistrate's Mansion's treasury. He had never had the chance to use them. Now that he had nothing to do, he couldn't help but take one. Who knew that it would take him more than ten days to completely absorb the medicinal power. At this time, Huangfu Song and Cao Cao had already left Dong Ah for three days and were heading towards Ji Province!
Yang Rui didn't expect that it would take some time to use the Qi Fostering Pill, but he didn't expect it to take more than ten days! Thus, he missed the time to go with Huangfu Song and Cao Cao to Ji Province to suppress the Yellow Turbans! However, the medicinal power of the Qi Fostering Pill was indeed strong. Yang Rui's Beginner's Inner Strength had jumped from Level 0 at 46% to Level 1 at 90%. He even felt that there was still a portion of the medicinal power in his meridians that couldn't be used effectively!
"Blazing Sun, there's no need to be anxious. Before Zuo Zhonglang left, he asked Fu Yu to pass a message to Blazing Sun. He said that Blazing Sun is at the crucial moment of breaking through, so it's inconvenient to disturb him. After Blazing Sun finishes his cultivation, he can rush over to Ji Province to meet up with him …"
Cheng Yu told Yang Rui everything that Huangfu Song had said and suggested that Yang Rui should immediately set off. Perhaps he would be able to catch up with the Han Ting Army in a few days.
"… However, the imperial edict didn't mention anything about raising your ranks. General Huangfu advised Blazing Sun not to be discouraged. After his triumphant return, he will definitely help Blazing Sun obtain an official rank …"
It turned out that Emperor Ling of Han had only sent Huangfu Song and Cao Cao to Ji Province to assist in the battle. He didn't mention anything about their achievements. The previous act of asking for an official rank might very well be wasted!
Yang Rui wasn't too surprised by this. Although he still had some hope before, he quickly turned around. If he could obtain an official rank through normal channels, why would Emperor Ling of Han sell his rank?!
"Why don't you come with me, Mr. Cheng?"
After Yang Rui packed up a little, he prepared to leave East Ah and head straight for Ji Province to catch up with Huangfu Song's group. Before he left, he naturally didn't forget to ask for Cheng Yu's help!
"The Yellow Turbans in Yan Province have already been pacified. Although there are many Yellow Turbans in Ji Province, they are still just a mob. Therefore, the large-scale Yellow Turbans rebellion will soon be pacified! However, although the Yellow Turbans can be pacified, the remaining trouble may not be completely eliminated. I will stay in East Ah. I hope to be of help to County Magistrate Chen and help the homeless people return to their homeland and settle down as soon as possible … "
In the face of Yang Rui's invitation, Cheng Yu declined. His attitude was very obvious. Yang Rui could only dismiss the idea of taking Cheng Yu with him. He set off for Ji Province alone. In fact, in the process of pacifying Yan Province, Cheng Yu had already benefited Yang Rui a lot. At this time, it was normal for Cheng Yu to decline at this time!
After setting off, Yang Rui hurried. Because he only brought elite soldiers, other than the cavalry, the rest of the soldiers were placed in Yang Rui's storage ring and small Universal Pouch. Therefore, the speed of the army was very fast. In less than half a day, Yang Rui's army had already left East Ah County!
The soldiers Yang Rui brought with him this time included almost 1500 Fourth Grade Pike Cavalry, 1600 Fourth Grade Archers, 100 Fourth Grade Longswordsmen, 100 Fourth Grade Pikemen, 100 Fourth Grade Water Soldiers, and 38 Fifth Grade Bandit Leaders! Among them, the cavalry and the archers made up the majority of the army!
Apart from that. Yang Rui also brought along 33 beginner generals from when he pacified Yan Province, including Li Dong. The total military strength exceeded 110,000. This was the largest army Yang Rui had ever brought with him!
Meanwhile, Zhang Tian, Qi Zheng, Sun Bao, Tian Bao, Zhang Chen, and the other beginner generals, as well as Wang Hai, Molin, Chen Li, Chen Ping, and Chi Zhong, were left to guard Big Mountain Town and Wutun Town in Jiang Ji. There were more than 1000 soldiers in each of the two towns. As the Yellow Turbans in Juping County had been cleared out, the defense of the two towns was very stable!
"Who are you? Report your identity! "
Yang Rui and the others left Dong Ah County in the northwest. They crossed the Ji River, Fan County, and the Yellow River, all the way to Guang Sect. They were originally following the footsteps of Huangfu Song and Cao Cao's army. However, they were never able to catch up to the army in front of them! Four to five days later, Yang Rui arrived at the main road in the southeast of Guang County. He ran into a group of three to four hundred men.
In comparison, the other party might be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but their tone was very forceful. They started to question Yang Rui's identity the moment they ran into each other. It was as if they didn't care about Yang Rui's thousand cavalry at all! Yang Rui looked over and saw that although there weren't many people in this group, their aura was extraordinary. They were also composed of cavalry soldiers, but they were much stronger than the cavalry that Yang Rui was leading!
They were at least Fifth Grade soldiers! Yang Rui immediately came to this conclusion, and immediately became cautious of this group in front of him. Disregarding everything else, the dozen or so generals in front of the group gave off the feeling that they were at least Beginner Generals!
"Ju Ping Blazing Sun is here to suppress the Yellow Turban Bandits!"
Seeing that the other party was also part of the Han Court's faction, Yang Rui replied loudly.
"The Han Court's special envoy is here to handle matters, all unrelated people please step aside!"
Who knew that it would be fine if Yang Rui didn't reply, but after he reported his identity, the other party's attitude became even more unrestrained!
The change in attitude of the other party made Yang Rui unhappy, but Yang Rui still moved all his soldiers to the side of the main road.
After the main road was cleared, the soldiers began to arrogantly pass through. Only then did Yang Rui realize that behind the dozen Beginner Generals, there was a prisoner carriage! This group was actually carrying out the duty of escorting criminals!
Yang Rui couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. What kind of criminal would require such a large force? Thus, when the prisoner carriage slowly passed through the middle of the main road, Yang Rui took a few more glances at it. He saw a middle-aged scholar locked up in the prisoner carriage. His face was thin, and his eyes were straight, without any expression. He looked like a determined person.
"Eh?"
Even after the prisoner carriage had passed a certain distance away, Yang Rui's gaze still did not retract. At this moment, a light "eh" came from not far away. Yang Rui then noticed that there was a carriage passing by on the main road.
"Everyone halt!"
The person in the carriage pulled open the curtain and waved his hand lightly. When the guards beside him saw this, they immediately stopped the entire escort group! The person in the carriage also slowly alighted from the carriage.
"I was still wondering who it was, to have such a big scene! So it's Blazing Sun! "
