Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

The woman dressed as a man was now kneeling on the ground, looking dazed, but it was too late to do anything about it.

She had originally thought that her disguise would fool everyone.

When the other women saw their accomplices being arrested, their fear and anxiety vanished instantly, and they were overjoyed and relieved.

They huddled together, weeping with joy, celebrating their survival.

Lu Yanqing immediately ordered his men to take the woman back to the Shadow Division's prison.

They then allowed the customers to leave.

As if granted a pardon, everyone hurriedly left in a swarm.

The shopkeeper and his staff were so frightened that they retreated to the backyard.

At this moment, Lu Yanqing turned to Ling Yan and asked, "This woman's figure is similar to that of a man, and her disguise skills are superb, without any flaws. How did you see through her?"

Lingyan replied, "Judging from the bone structure, a woman's bone structure is ultimately different from a man's. Although she is very clever to disguise herself as a man, she is ultimately not a man."

We have to thank her for studying medicine; doctors can easily tell the difference by looking at the bones.

Lu Yanqing looked at her with admiration; this woman was exceptionally intelligent and had keen observation skills.

At this point, he no longer doubted her at all.

After all, their accomplices have already been caught.

Lingyan then asked curiously, "It's rumored that the Shadow Division has arrested many innocent people. No matter who they are, if they are suspected of anything, they will be arrested. Why weren't all these customers arrested this time?"

She was just wondering about that.

The accomplices on both sides must be among these people. If they arrest everyone and interrogate them one by one, they will definitely be able to find out the truth. Why waste time?

Lu Yanqing said helplessly, "The Shadow Division is not as ruthless as rumored, not even sparing ordinary people, let alone innocent people. It's just that the rumors are exaggerated."

That's definitely an exaggeration.

Judging from their actions today, they are definitely not as rumored.

Rumor has it that the Shadow Division combats corruption and monitors all officials.

Their duties included guarding the emperor, patrolling and arresting criminals, and carrying out tasks such as investigation, arrest, and interrogation.

Moreover, they were only accountable to the emperor and were not subject to supervision by any other department, allowing them to arbitrarily monitor and arrest officials and commoners.

They can also be interrogated or executed without any judicial intervention.

They are the court's henchmen, the emperor's most loyal secret service.

From imperial relatives and high-ranking officials to ordinary people, everyone hated them to the bone and trembled at their mere mention of their name.

They were brutal and arbitrary, wielding power arbitrarily, lawless, insidious and wicked, autocratic and treacherous, shameless and tyrannical, oppressive and notorious.

Everyone who saw them went out of their way to avoid them.

Commander Lu Yanqing was someone no one dared to provoke.

He is a being more terrifying than any evil spirit.

Rumors say he is perverted, ruthless, bloodthirsty, and merciless.

It can break a person's bones inch by inch, then repair them and break them again, repeating this process repeatedly, causing immense torment and pain.

It is a double torment of mind and body.

They also like to peel off people's faces to make lanterns and drums.

He also personally invented dozens of cruel torture methods, each one extremely perverse.

I enjoy watching others scream in pain, and I enjoy seeing the desperate yet inescapable look in their eyes.

He himself committed countless murders, and no one knows exactly how many people he killed.

Therefore, even though he was already twenty-six years old, no woman dared to get close to him.

I really don't dare!

Even if he's incredibly handsome, life is still the most important thing!

Being single is great! It's good that no woman dares to approach me!

Lingyan expressed great satisfaction.

It is said that he was the son of a wealthy merchant. When he was young, he went out to play with his family, but was killed by bandits.

His parents hid him under the carriage during the chaos, which saved him from disaster.

After escaping, he was noticed by the new commander and brought back to the company, where he started from the lowest position and worked his way up step by step.

The previous commander passed the position to him on his deathbed, and seven years have passed since then.

Ling Yan's interest grew even stronger.

This is a crazy beauty!

Who can resist a beautiful woman?

She'd never encountered a lunatic in modern times, but she never expected to meet one in ancient times.

This is so cool! She loves it.

She was determined to win him over.

Lu Yanqing felt her burning gaze, as if she wanted to devour him.

If he wasn't mistaken, this princess was truly extraordinary, and his interest was piqued.

Just now, Mistblade returned and confirmed her status as a queen.

Therefore, he respectfully apologized, saying, "Princess Rui, please forgive me. I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. Please forgive me."

Ling Yan smiled nonchalantly, "It's alright, Commander Lu is just doing his duty."

Seeing that she did not take his rudeness to heart, Lu Yanqing took his leave, saying, "Since Your Highness does not mind, then I will take my leave."

Lingyan thought for a moment, then asked, "Commander Lu, are you going back to the Imperial Prison to interrogate those two people? Can I go with you?"

Watching a crazy beauty go crazy on stage must be really exciting.

Lu Yanqing was surprised.

This princess's style of doing things is quite bold.

But it suits his taste quite well.

Therefore, he smiled and said, "I am deeply honored by the Princess's kindness."

Lingyan smiled sweetly and said, "Commander, there's no need to be so polite. There will be many people and eyes in the prison later, so please don't call me Princess. Just call me Miss. I don't want anyone to know about this."

Lu Yanqing indicated that he understood.

Indeed, if word got out that a princess was imprisoned alone, it would undoubtedly cause a great deal of speculation and discussion.

Therefore, Lu Yanqing prepared a carriage for her.

Before Lingyan boarded the carriage, she watched as Lu Yanqing prepared to mount his horse.

He then extended an invitation: "Commander Lu, would you mind sharing a carriage with me?"

Lu Yanqing's heartstrings trembled.

What does she mean by that?

Is that what he meant?

If that's the case, that would be really interesting.

He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Alright, thank you for the invitation, young lady."

Ling Yan smiled gently, making her already beautiful features even more radiant.

………………

On the carriage.

Ling Yan sat in the center, with Lu Yanqing sitting to her left.

The atmosphere between the two was quiet yet subtly restless.

It was under these circumstances that Lingyan slowly began to tell a story.

"In the bustling and vibrant water towns of Jiangnan, there lived a woman named Lan'er in this picturesque place. She was the wife of the son of a wealthy merchant in the city."

"Lan'er was extremely beautiful, with skin as smooth as cream, eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, and a graceful figure. Every frown and smile exuded a captivating charm."

"However, despite her outstanding appearance and marriage into a wealthy family, she often felt a nameless emptiness and loneliness deep down."

"Because although her husband was well-off and honest, he lacked talent and charm, and his communication with Lan'er mostly focused on trivial matters, making it difficult for him to reach Lan'er's deep longing for romance and passion."

Lu Yanqing knew that the most exciting part was about to begin.

"It was a bright and sunny spring day. As usual, Lan'er went to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. The temple was filled with the smoke of incense and the sound of wooden fish drums. Lan'er knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, put her hands together, and prayed silently."

"Just as she stood up, she turned her head unintentionally, and her gaze met a pair of deep and bright eyes."
