Quickly wear it with your skills

Lan Hanlu thought that this farm was not hers in her previous life, and she didn't know whether anyone was dead or not. Because of the rumors, she didn't teach people well to be isolated from the news.

It only took a moment for her to think about it. She realized the most important thing was to respond in a way that would protect her own life and that of Master Zhuangzi. So she tossed the towel aside and gave instructions as she walked out.

"Madam Du, Lizhi, go inform everyone in the manor. All the old, weak, women, and children, go into the wine cellar. The young and strong men, armed with whatever weapons they have, will guard the gate.

The guards I brought with me, along with Xiangcheng and Lemon, will follow me out to guard the outside of the manor. Madam Huang and Litchi will go change my clothes first and then go into the wine cellar."

As she spoke, she walked out, and by the time she finished, she was already at the bedroom door. However, all the humble servants who followed her orders knelt on the ground. "Master, please don't be impulsive. You and Xiangcheng should go to the wine cellar together. Chief Zhang and I will go outside to guard the manor."

Lemon, who is usually quiet, said so much, mainly to prevent her from taking any risks.

Others were about to come forward to dissuade him, but Lan Hanlu turned halfway around and looked at the people kneeling on the ground with a cold expression. "Don't bother trying to persuade me. I'm not powerless, so I can't expect you to risk your lives for me in this manor."

"It is our honor to protect Madam and sacrifice our lives for her. If Madam is implicated in our case, she deserves death." Zhang Yao replied in a resounding voice.

Lan Hanlu flicked her sleeves and said, "There's no need to persuade you. Instead, use this time to make arrangements. The more prepared you are, the less danger there is."

After saying that, he went straight into the house. Zhang Yao didn't feel comfortable following him. Thinking of what Lan Hanlu had just said, he quickly turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Lan Hanlu entered the house and first took off all the headdresses from her hair. Her hairline was raised high and tied with a ribbon, and then she began to take off her clothes.

Grape, who followed in, immediately took out a neat set of riding clothes and helped her change into them, and then took off her cloth shoes and put on boots.

He took out a short knife from the bedside.

This was a gift from the emperor. It was inlaid with gold and jade and was very gorgeous. She carried it with her, firstly for self-defense and secondly because she liked it. She didn't expect it to come in handy today.

"Grape, you and Madam are too busy. Go hide in the wine cellar and don't distract me outside." Grape and Madam were about to say something, but nodded with tears in their eyes and ran to the backyard hand in hand.

Lan Hanlu stepped out of the door with a dagger in her hand and saw a guard waiting for her. She nodded to the guard and walked forward.

Orange and Lemon hurried along with the two men as the guards quietly explained the situation outside. Lan Hanlu would nod or whisper in response from time to time.

By the time we arrived at the gate of the manor, we could vaguely see the group of people. Each of them had extraordinary martial arts skills and was ruthless in their attacks.

The two groups, one wearing exquisite masks and the other wearing turbans, were obviously at a disadvantage, and some of them had no fighting power.

They did not take action, but stood at the door and watched. Suddenly, a masked man swung a knife all over the body, and Lan Hanlu's pupils shrank.

Orange and Lemon shouted anxiously, "Madam," which made her even more certain that she had not made a wrong judgment.

She gripped the short knife tightly in her hand, and quickly pulled the scabbard open. "Guardians of the General's Mansion, take action! Target those masked people."

They didn't have the same thoughts as the housekeeper. They didn't obey Lai Hanlu's words, but they also didn't pretend to obey them. Seeing the lady in a strong outfit and with a frosty face, they obeyed her orders unconsciously.

They drew their swords and rushed forward to fight. Some people who were on guard against this group of people turned their swords towards them when they saw this group of people move.

The masked leader, however, turned his head and saw Lan Hanlu's face, his pupils shrinking slightly. Then he saw the woman rushing towards him with a dagger.

As they passed each other, she swung her knife, severing the arm of a man about to attack him, and blood splattered on her face, adding a touch of devilish beauty to her cold and solemn face.

With their joining, the situation quickly turned around, and gradually more and more people on the other side died. Orange and Lemon were both secret guards and were in their prime, so they were even more invincible in the fight.

When these people saw that the situation had reached a point where there was no way out, they looked at each other and fought even harder, then two of them turned around and were about to jump out of the melee.

The masked leader said loudly to Lan Hanlu, "Madam, you can't let them go back."

Lan Hanlu did not respond when she heard the voice, but jumped up several times and blocked the two people who were about to retreat.

The two men, wounded, barely managed to fight her to a draw, but soon someone dared to come to support them. Without a doubt, these people were left with only corpses in the end.

Uncle Zhang limped over. "Madam, we have two seriously injured and five slightly injured."

"If you are injured, hurry back and get treated. If you are not injured, please work harder and lead the people in the manor to deal with these bodies and bloodstains. If there is an accident, the government will provide pensions, take care of the elderly until they die, and raise the children until they grow up."

Uncle Zhang nodded and went to make the arrangements. Lan Hanlu walked up to the leader and knelt on one knee. "I am late in rescuing you, Your Majesty. Please punish me."

When the others heard what she said, they all knelt down.

A soft laugh came from above her head, "Madam, you are as capable as any man." Then a pair of cold but slender and strong hands grasped her elbows and lifted her up.

"Madam, you have worked hard to save me, but I will have to trouble you again. Please arrange a place for me to recover."

"Your Majesty, please follow me to Zhuangzi to recuperate."

A group of people came back with wounds all over their bodies and the smell of blood in their noses, and the village began to get busy.

As the emperor, Qi Linmu was arranged to live in the main courtyard. Nanny Du knew medical skills and could prepare medicinal herbs, and even the other injured people were accommodated there.

Lan Hanlu took out her medicine box and wanted to give it to Lemon to apply the medicine. But Qi Linmu turned around and took off his coat, saying softly, "Thank you, Madam."

Normally, she didn't think it was a big deal to call her Madam, but why was the address just now so ambiguous? You know, a woman applying medicine to a man was a very ambiguous thing in ancient times.

But she didn't say anything and just curled the corners of her mouth.

She washed her hands first, then sat behind Qi Linmu, took the scissors handed to her by Lemon, gently cut open the bloodstained underwear, cleaned the wound, applied medicine and bandaged it.

There was no excessive touching during this period. However, when bandaging, the man stopped Lemon with his eyes and wanted to help.

Lan Hanlu had no choice but to kneel down and bandage the wound half-heartedly. When Nanny Du came in with a bowl of medicine, he also signaled Lan Hanlu with his eyes.
