With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

Lu Yan walked to the place where the prisoners were held.

Before I got close, I heard the dull thud of fists hitting flesh.

Mixed with indistinct curses.

He raised his eyebrows and walked over with interest.

I saw two strong men wrestling with each other like two wild bulls.

Tu Rong was tall and strong, half a head taller than Ye Xiao.

His body is full of tendons and muscles like lumps of iron, and he looks like a tough guy at first glance.

But at this moment, he was pressed to the ground by Night Owl and rubbed like a dead dog.

Night Owl rode on him, punching him harder and harder, cursing heartily:

"I'll let you kill people at random! I'll let you dare to go against me! I'll beat you up today and make you call me grandpa!"

Tu Rong's face was swollen like a pig's head and all his teeth were knocked out.

He could only make a wailing sound.

Night Owl stopped fighting until he was out of breath.

He looked down at Tu Rong and said:

"I know you're not convinced. Come and challenge me anytime you get better."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was applause from behind.

"Well done, Night Owl!"

Ye Xiao turned around and saw that it was Lu Yan. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly:

"Sir, when did you come?"

Lu Yan nodded with satisfaction.

"If you meet someone who doesn't obey, you have to spank him hard."

Chen Qingwan also followed. She had seen Tu Rong killing everyone on the battlefield with her own eyes.

Like a god of death, such a person is comparable to thousands of troops.

And under Lu Yan's command, there is actually a Night Owl who is even more powerful than Tu Rong.

If we can get help from one of them, the future of the Datong Dynasty will be promising.

Lu Yan looked at Tu Rong, who was beaten like a dead dog, and said in a light tone:

"Have you vented enough?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Tu Rong was shocked.

He struggled to get up from the ground and knelt on the ground:

"My Lord, I have vented enough!"

"That's fine, I don't need bloodthirsty soldiers"

"Go back and recuperate. I still need you to fight for me."

Lu Yan's tone was calm, but Tu Rong felt extremely grateful.

"Thank you for your concern, Master!"

Tu Rong kowtowed.

Chen Qingwan saw this scene and said:

"Lord Lu's rule is truly filled with talented people."

"No, no, they are all rough people, not as smart and capable as Miss Chen."

Lu Yan waved his hand, but looked at Chen Qingwan meaningfully.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance, breaking the eerie silence of the camp.

A soldier came running over, his face full of fear, shouting:

"Report... Report to the Lord! Something bad has happened! Princess Mingyue...Princess Mingyue..."

Lu Yan's originally nonchalant expression instantly became restrained, and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

"What's wrong with Princess Mingyue? You're hesitating. Are you looking for death?"

The soldier shuddered with fear and stammered:

"Princess Mingyue...she...she was kidnapped by a group of men in black!"

"what?!"

Lu Yan stood up suddenly, kicked over the wooden bench next to him, his face ashen.

Damn it, someone actually took advantage of the chaos and kidnapped Princess Mingyue!

Although this little girl is willful and capricious, she is the princess of Beixiang Kingdom after all.

If something really happened, wouldn’t that old guy from Beixiang Kingdom immediately send troops to attack Shannan Prefecture?

By then, there will be another bloody storm, and won’t my carefree days be ruined?

Chen Qingwan was also shocked. Princess Mingyue was kidnapped, which was no trivial matter.

She observed Lu Yan's reaction calmly, wanting to see how this man would handle the matter.

Lu Yan paced back and forth a few steps, his brows furrowed.

He was not worried about Princess Mingyue's safety, this little girl was very cunning.

I guess those men in black may not be able to do anything to her.

What he was worried about was the reaction of the King of Beixiang. That old guy was not a pushover.

If someone takes advantage of the situation, Shannan Prefecture will be in trouble.

"Night Owl!"

Lu Yan shouted sternly.

Night Owl slipped out from the crowd and knelt on one knee.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Take people after them immediately! Make sure to bring Princess Mingyue back safely!"

Lu Yan's tone was cold and unquestionable.

"Yes!"

Night Owl took the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.

Lu Yan rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.

He secretly wondered in his heart, who was responsible for the kidnapping of Princess Mingyue?

Is it a conspiracy of Beixiang Kingdom, or is there someone else?

These bad things keep happening one after another. Can't you just give yourself a few days of peace and quiet?

He glanced at Chen Qingwan and said with a smile:

"Miss Chen, why don't you go back and rest first? I'll send someone to notify you when the matter has a result."

Chen Qingwan smiled slightly.

"Lord Lu is very busy, so I won't bother you."

"Princess Mingyue has been kidnapped. This is a serious matter. I wonder if Lord Lu has any plans to deal with it?"

Lu Yan laughed.

"Don't worry, Miss Chen. My Shannan Prefecture has a strong army. A few men in black can't cause any trouble."

"Ms. Chen, you're out there alone, so you have to be extra careful."

Before Lu Yan could finish his words, Ye Xiao came back.

The figure appeared in front of everyone again like a ghost.

Chen Qingwan frowned slightly, wondering:

Lu Yan's men were so swift that they captured the man in black who kidnapped Princess Mingyue so quickly?

"Night Owl, has the person been caught?"

There was a hint of teasing in Lu Yan's tone, and he didn't seem to be very worried about Princess Mingyue's safety.

Night Owl knelt on one knee and reported in a deep voice:

"My Lord, it's not the man in black, but..."

"Instead, we discovered a group of soldiers and horses galloping towards Shannan Prefecture!"

"Troops? Where did they come from? How dare you invade Shannan Prefecture!"

Lu Fei shouted from the side, he was in charge of the Shannan Prefecture Musketeer Regiment.

Being young and full of vigor, he couldn't wait to pick up his gun and mount his horse to kill.

Night Owl paused, his tone solemn:

"Your Excellency, their flag...is engraved with the three characters 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry'."

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

Chen Qingwan was shocked when she heard this, and her delicate hands unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.

How come my Tiger and Leopard Cavalry suddenly appeared here?

Could something have happened in the capital?

Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Qingwan with interest:

"Miss Chen, do you know this 'Tiger and Leopard Cavalry'?"

Chen Qingwan forced a smile and said calmly:

"I've heard a little bit about them. They are said to be the imperial guards of the capital, brave and good at fighting."

But I thought to myself:

Could it be that that old villain Liu An took advantage of my incognito visit to plot a rebellion?

"Imperial Guards? Why are you coming to my Shannan Prefecture? Are you here to show your support to someone like me, Lu?"

A playful smile appeared on Lu Yan's lips, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he saw through everything.

"Master Lu is joking."

Chen Qingwan laughed dryly twice, but her heart was beating like a drum, very nervous.

"Let's go and have a look!"

"I want to see who else dares to be so presumptuous under the emperor's feet!"

Lu Yan waved his hand and walked towards the stable first.
