After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

Tongzhou.

Soldiers surrounded a villa in Tongzhou.

When Lu Hanting stepped into the villa, he immediately spotted a refined man leisurely drinking in the courtyard.

Shen Bazhi looked up and saw a raging fire burning in the man's eyes, hot and angry.

The two men stared at each other in mid-air, and the air around them seemed to freeze because of their gazes.

"I am honored by the presence of Governor Lu at my humble abode. I have little to offer but a cup of wine to my distinguished guest."

After he finished speaking, the wine glass in his hand shot towards Lu Hanting like a hidden weapon, carrying a faint killing intent.

Seeing the wine glass hurtling towards his face, Lu Hanting's expression was as cold as frost.

Just as Ru Feng was about to intercept him on behalf of his master, he saw that Ru Feng's figure was as fast as a whirlwind.

When Ru Feng turned his head to look again, the wine cup that had just been thrown at the prince was already firmly caught in his hand.

Shen Bazhi was surprised.

What a quick move.

Lu Hanting looked at the cup of fragrant sake and put it in his mouth without blinking.

"Sir..."

Ru Feng exclaimed in surprise.

"What a spirit!"

Shen Bazhi stood up, clapped his hands in approval, and said:

"It is said that Commander Lu is a man of great talent and strategy, skilled in troop deployment and tactics on the battlefield, and has never been defeated. He is an ever-victorious general."

Unexpectedly, upon meeting him today, I found that Commander Lu was not only highly skilled, but also not as suspicious and distrustful as rumored. The rumors were indeed unreliable.

Lu Hanting merely glanced at him coldly.

"Don't try to get close to me, where are you?"

"Hehe, Commander Lu, what's the rush? Why don't you sit down, have a couple of drinks, and talk about our alliance..."

Shen Bazhi remained leisurely as he spoke.

"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine..."

Lu Hanting's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"Like the wind!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Arrest everyone here. I want to see if the Black Hawk Gang will risk coming to rescue them."

Seeing that Ru Feng was about to make a move, Shen Bazhi finally regained his solemn expression.

"Wait a minute."

He looked at Lu Hanting.

"I only asked Miss He to come and save people, and she came with me willingly."

"If Commander Lu doesn't believe me, you can ask her yourself after she finishes treating you!"

Lu Hanting's eyes turned cold.

He stared coldly at the middle-aged man sitting on the cold stone bench.

Despite being stared at by Lu Hanting's eagle-like gaze, Shen Bazhi showed no sign of nervousness.

He was so certain because he could tell that He Yuyan was kind-hearted.

She definitely wouldn't want to see the people here taken away by Lu Hanting.

“If you dare to deceive me, this day next year will be the anniversary of your death, Shen Bazhi.”

Lu Hanting's voice was indifferent, yet it exuded a strong sense of pressure.

His men clearly saw that Yan'er was unconscious and was carried onto the carriage. How could she have willingly followed him back?

After a while.

He Yuyan finally finished administering acupuncture to Qingying.

"I have used acupuncture to force the toxins out of your body. Remember to rest well for the next two days."

"Thank you, Miss He."

"If it weren't for you, I'd probably be in big trouble..."

Qingying looked weak and frail.

"It's nothing, thank your brother instead!"

"If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have come to treat you."

Upon hearing He Yuyan mention her brother, Qingying lowered her eyes, concealing the faint disappointment between her brows.

Just then, a thunderous knocking sound came from the doorway.

"Miss He, please save Master Shen!"

Commander Lu arrived with several thousand soldiers, saying he wanted to arrest everyone here…

"what?"

Hearing this, Qingying was shocked. How could that person have found this place so quickly?

She struggled to her feet and knelt down before He Yuyan.

"Miss He, please save Shen... please save my brother!"

The reason my brother kidnapped you was to save me. If it weren't for him, I would have fallen into the hands of villains.

Once I fall into these people's hands, I'm afraid I'll... You, can you forgive him?"

He Yuyan did not expect that Lu Hanting would mobilize so many people for her sake and even come here.

Looking at Qingying kneeling on the ground, her face pale, she sighed.

"Miss He, please, please say a word for my brother!"

The reason why Commander Lu mobilized so many people was to save you.

As long as you ask, he definitely won't mind...

"Get up! I promise to plead for you, but I can't guarantee he'll listen to me..."

He Yuyan helped her up.

Once Lu Hanting has made up his mind, no one can change it.

For example, with her.

Even though she had already told him that she didn't love him, he still clung to her and wouldn't let go.

Ugh!

forecourt.

Seeing He Yuyan slowly walking towards him, Lu Hanting's expression softened.

Shen Bazhi merely glanced at her indifferently before looking away.

"Yan'er, are you alright?"

He Yuyan nodded to him with a cold expression.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Lu Hanting suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He had mobilized so many people to rescue her, and even wrote to the emperor requesting that troops be dispatched to attack Chulong Prefecture for her rescue, yet she showed no gratitude whatsoever.

If it were Weiwei, she would never be like Yan'er, so utterly...

In an instant, Wu Weiwei's image jumped into his mind.

Lu Hanting suddenly froze.

It must be because we haven't seen each other for so long; lately, I keep thinking about his clingy concubine.

Seeing that he was lost in thought in front of everyone, He Yuyan frowned slightly.

Lu Hanting wasn't like this before. Could it be that the Marquis's mansion discovered something during her trip?

After regaining his senses, he saw Lu Hanting look at He Yuyan and say softly, "Yan'er, tell the truth, were you forcibly kidnapped by Shen Bazhi?"

He Yuyan's gaze swept over the calm and collected man sitting on the stone bench opposite her.

Even at this point, he raised his glass to her as if it were none of his business.

“Miss He, since Commander Lu has asked you, just tell him the truth! I won’t blame you.”

Shen Bazhi's gentle and refined voice sounded particularly warm and pleasant in the darkness.

This man!

I don't know if he was genuinely not afraid or just pretending to be calm.

She thought of the scene where Qingying had just knelt down and begged her in the house.

He Yuyan glanced at Shen Bazhi out of the corner of her eye and saw that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was certain that she would help him.

If she really told the truth, I'm afraid Qingying would be sad!

Forget it, there's no need for her to make things difficult for Shen Bazhi.

He Yuyan looked at Lu Hanting.

"Your Highness, he didn't kidnap me. I came with him voluntarily to treat Miss Qingying..."

As soon as she finished speaking, He Yuyan felt a gaze filled with chilling intent shooting towards her.

Lu Hanting's deep, icy voice rang in her ear: "Are you really sure?"

He Yuyan felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.

Here we go again; this man is always like this.

If anything goes against his wishes, he will use his methods to force me to submit to him.

Sometimes she didn't even know why he was angry.

However, Lu Hanting ignored everyone else and suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Why are you protecting him? Could it be that you've fallen for him?"

He Yuyan looked at him stubbornly, her tightly clenched lips even drawing blood.

Seeing He Yuyan's red-rimmed eyes, Shen Bazhi frowned.

"I don't like him, I just can't bear to see the people here being implicated by me."

Please let them go! They're all good people..."

"Good people? You actually think they're good people?"

Lu Hanting chuckled; he was certain that everyone here had blood on their hands.

He Yuyan looked at him, not understanding what he was laughing at.

In her heart, no one here was as bad as him.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Lu Hanting released his hold on her.

Since she thinks these people are good, he'll show her today.

Are the good people she thinks of truly as good as she imagines them to be?
