The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

As soon as Gao Yuzhu heard that the real princess had been found, she rushed over immediately. She first went to Mingde Hall to pay her respects to her aunt, and happened to run into her cousin, the prince, and followed him all the way to the parade ground.

I saw a strange girl in red standing on the open space in the training ground.

When she saw her face clearly, Gao Yuzhu was speechless.

Zhou Boli calmly placed Lu Yun behind him and said with a loud laugh, "If you want to compete with the princess, you have to get past me first."

Everyone became excited, especially Lu Jian. He was about to take a step forward when he heard a voice coming from the side.

"Cousin, since the princess has said so, I think she should accept this competition. Otherwise, how can she convince the others?"

Lu Yun looked in the direction of the voice. She saw a young woman in colorful clothes, with skin as white as snow, a high nose, and deep eyes. Her eyes were the same color as Princess Gao's, but they seemed full of hostility towards her.

Lu Yun's eyes rolled around and finally fell on Zhou Boli. She snorted softly, stood there with her arms folded across her chest without moving.

Zhou Boli suppressed the corner of his mouth and asked, "What do you think, my Lord?"

Lu Yun glanced at him and said, "Whatever Prince Zhou says is fine."

Gao Yuzhu watched the exchange between the two, a flicker of jealousy flashing across her face as she spoke again, "Could it be that the princess is afraid? Afraid that a Central Plains person like her will lose face in front of us South Vietnamese?"

Zhou Boli frowned, "Gao Yuzhu, don't say anything!"

Gao Yuzhu's eyes flushed slightly. "Cousin, don't you usually dislike those who deceive the world and seek fame? Why do you keep favoring an outsider today?"

Lu Yun's heart was raging with anger. He casually pulled out a long sword from the shelf and raised his chin slightly. "Zhou Boli, please!"

Zhou Boli sighed, "My lord, these words are all from Gao Yuzhu alone. They have nothing to do with me."

Lu Yun snorted, "Whether it matters or not, this princess knows it perfectly well. It's been a while since we've sparred, so how about we compare ourselves in front of everyone today?"

Zhou Boli bowed and said, "My Lady, it is difficult to refuse your kindness. I am honored to receive it."

What a humble and polite Crown Prince! I hope Princess Ning'an won't cry after losing, Lu Jian thought with glee.

In the open space in the middle, there were two figures, one black and one red.

Zhou Boli thought she looked like a big, furry mountain cat, funny and cute. "Princess."

"What are you doing!" Lu Yun was still fierce. "Prince Zhou, don't say anything more."

The intertwining of two figures, black and red, accompanied by the resounding sound of swords clashing, captivated everyone present. Lu Jian swallowed in horror, worried for the Crown Prince. My goodness, the princess was so young, yet her martial arts skills were already extraordinary. Incredible!

One move, two moves—the sixth move.

A long sword was already at Zhou Boli's neck. Zhou Boli threw the sword down in defeat. "I admit defeat."

Gao Yuzhu's face turned pale, and she said stubbornly, "My cousin is a gentleman, and I admire him."

What a love-brained idiot! Lu Yun made a face at Zhou Boli and whispered, "Cousin, you are the best man in the world."

Zhou Boli: “——”

Lu Yun once again looked at the man hiding in the crowd with his neck shrunk, and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Come out and fight with me."

Seeing everyone's eyes on him, Lu Jian straightened his thick pectoral muscles and stammered, "Princess, please show mercy."

Lu Yun showed her eight teeth and said, "Come on, I'm rooting for you!"

Lu Jian's face instantly turned red all the way to his neck. "Little one, little one——"

Lu Yun threw a long knife over and said, "Catch it!"

The moment Lu Jian grabbed the long sword, he rushed towards Lu Yun. Lu Yun was not afraid and used the strength of his wrist to raise the sword to meet the attack. They only met for a short time.

In full view of the crowd, Lu Jian was pushed back three steps with his sword.

The numbness spread from the base of his palm to his shoulders. Lu Jianjue's arms were no longer under his control. He gritted his teeth and held on to prevent the long sword in his hand from falling out.

Lu Yun seemed to throw the blade casually, and the blade slid into the scabbard exactly.

As far as she could see, no one dared to look at her, and Lu Yun was extremely satisfied.

In Sansi Hall, after hearing what happened, the King of Nanyue laughed out loud, "Ning An is such a good kid, I like him!"

Gao Yuzhu returned to Mingde Hall and couldn't help shedding a few tears. "Aunt, the princess is very fierce. It's really hard for my cousin to live with such a woman for the rest of his life."

Princess Gao raised her eyelids and said, "Oh."

"Aunt?" Gao Yuzhu carefully observed her aunt's expression.

Princess Gao raised her eyes and said, "Yuzhu, this marriage is a marriage between two places. The prince personally made the decision. I have no right to interfere."

Gao Yuzhu's face turned green and red. "Aunt, that's not what I meant."

If it wasn't this meaning, what else could it be? Princess Gao was fed up with it. Back then, it was Diao who relied on this crying and making a fuss, and her hesitant behavior to charm her second brother to death.

"Go down, I'm tired."

"Yes." Gao Yuzhu sobbed and retreated.

In the Heyue Pavilion, Lu Yun lay on the couch, flipping through the book at hand. "We have the boat and the people, now we just need someone to drive the boat." I wonder how many people Director Wan has found.

Hearing the footsteps coming from outside, Lu Yun turned around with her head facing inside and her butt facing outside.

"Ayun?" Zhou Boli walked over to her and sat down, calling softly.

Lu Yun flipped the book in her hand noisily, ignoring him.

Zhou Boli smiled and bent down to look at what she was holding. "What are you looking at?"

Lu Yun turned her head slightly and met a pair of clear, blue-gray eyes. Her image was fully reflected in those crystalline eyes, and the air was filled with the pleasant fragrance of pine wood.

Lu Yun pushed him away with one hand, "Mr. Zhou, please respect yourself!"

Zhou Boli took the opportunity to sit aside and said, "Gao Yuzhu is my uncle's daughter. She has always liked to follow us brothers, but her mother and aunt Diao don't get along, so she can only be treated well on the surface."

Lu Yun later found out that Grandma was Zhou Boli's grandmother, and the mother of Princess Gao.

"Why is Princess Gao at odds with your aunt?" Lu Yun was puzzled. Princess Gao was not a difficult person to get along with.

Zhou Boli did not hide it. "It is said to be related to my uncle's disappearance."

Lu Yun frowned. "Is grandma's retreat to Mount Gongga also related to your uncle's disappearance?"

Zhou Boli sighed softly, "My uncle fell into the Nu River that year and has been lost ever since. My grandmother left the Yunnan Tusi Mansion and lived deep in the mountains."

The figure of the old woman emerged in my mind. Grandma guarded the lower reaches of the Nujiang River day after day to collect the homeless wandering souls. She must have hoped that her kindness could buy a peaceful resting place for her son. But his body would be exposed in the wilderness, baked by the scorching sun, or sunk to the bottom of the river, washed away by the sand, and he would never rest in peace.

Although Lu Yun had only been in contact with the old woman for a period of time, based on her understanding of the old woman, Princess Gao's guess was most likely true.

Seeing her uncertain expression, Zhou Boli tried to persuade her, "Father has heard about this matter and has sent people to look for your uncle, but to no avail. Over a decade has passed in the blink of an eye."
