After returning from Huo Changze's place, Shen Jiao was not idle either.
She still tried to figure out how to get out before finding Qi Yu.
She tried to leave the city gate, but was stopped and told that she needed a token to enter or exit.
Token? How could Huo Changze give her this thing? She didn't even know what it looked like.
She had no choice but to go back in despair.
The city gate was impregnable and there were soldiers patrolling it at all times. It was impossible for her to get out from there.
She must get the token.
And Ayu...
Shen Jiao went to the martial arts arena again, but this time she didn't stand outside watching like she did last time, and almost got into trouble. This time she was standing guard outside, waiting for them to come out of the martial arts arena.
She hid in the corner and quietly looked at everyone passing by. However, there were too many people to look over. Shen Jiao was dazzled after looking for a long time, but she still couldn't find Qi Yu.
Logically speaking, Qi Yu had a special appearance and should be easy to recognize. Shen Jiao was confused, could he not be here?
But there were still people inside who didn't come out. Shen Jiao didn't give up and continued to stay there to peek. But suddenly there was a person who didn't follow the direction of the large army. Instead, his footsteps turned towards her.
Shen Jiao found out that he was the one who warned her not to come here again last time.
Shen Jiao's heart suddenly sounded alarm. Last time she could still say that she didn't know and didn't mean to offend. If he was discovered again this time, it would be impossible to defend himself.
She looked around and found that the only place to hide was a bush next to the courtyard wall.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Shen Jiao panicked and hid in the bushes.
But she didn't notice the pebbles under her feet. She slipped and fell to the ground.
As the warlord, Lu Xianfeng had just come out of the martial arts field and was about to return to his yard when he suddenly heard a loud noise not far away. He looked stern, thinking it was the lazy recruits hiding here.
So he strode over directly.
Lu Xianfeng saw no one, but the grass in front of him was still shaking slightly.
"Who is here!"
Shen Jiao sprained her ankle and endured the pain and hid in silence the second before Lu Xianfeng appeared.
Lu Xianfeng looked at the grass and sneered, placing his right hand on the saber at his waist, "Don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword if you don't come out!"
The people in the grass were still silent. Lu Shanfeng clicked his tongue and directly drew out his sword and cut half of the grass. The sharp blade could barely stop at the tip of Shen Jiao's nose. If he got any closer, her nose would be gone.
Lu Xianfeng frowned immediately after seeing who it was, "Is it you?"
Shen Jiao looked at him timidly, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, looking completely pitiful.
Lu Xianfeng put his sword back into its scabbard, thinking that she was here to have a private meeting with her lover, and asked in a bad tone: "Are you here to look for someone again?"
"I……"
Seeing Shen Jiao's hesitant expression, Lu Shanfeng knew that he had guessed correctly. He felt inexplicably anxious and turned around to leave.
Shen Jiao became anxious when she told him to leave. Her foot was sprained and now she couldn't get up at all. The one person in front of her was Lu Xianfeng. If he left, I'm afraid she would have to sit here all the time.
So Shen Jiao quickly called him, "Wait!"
Lu Xianfeng stopped and asked coldly: "What are you doing?"
Shen Jiao choked at his impatient tone and felt that he seemed to dislike her.
She spoke cautiously and in a very humble tone, "Can you help me? My foot is injured..."
Then Lu Xianfeng's eyes fell on her feet, and he saw a section of white ankle exposed under her skirt. Because it was just twisted, it only looked a little red and swollen, but no bruises appeared yet.
Lu Xianfeng's eyes seemed to be burned. He quickly looked away unnaturally, secretly annoyed that she, a woman, acted so boldly and exposed her feet in front of other men.
Lu Xianfeng's tone became even colder, "Since you are married, you must know how to keep a distance from other men. Don't you understand this?"
"What?" Shen Jiao was so confused by his words that she didn't react for a moment.
Lu Xianfeng took a deep breath, turned his back to her and said, "Tell me who your husband is, and I will go find him."
This time, Shen Jiao heard every word clearly, but... why couldn't she understand them when they were connected?
"But I'm not married, and I don't have a husband..."
Lu Xianfeng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "Then who are you looking for?"
Shen Jiao said: "Look for my brother."
"Your brother?"
"Um."
Seeing her calm expression, Lu Xianfeng seemed to have not lied. However, in this army, only generals with official positions can bring their family members with them. This woman looks young, and there are no generals similar to her in the army.
Shen Jiao sat on the ground, looking at Lu Xianfeng's face and not knowing what he was thinking.
She suddenly interrupted his thoughts and asked him for help cautiously, as if she was afraid that he would run away, "Can you help me get up... I really can't move..."
Hearing Shen Jiao's request, Lu Xianfeng was a little at a loss for a moment. The tips of his ears were reddish, and the hand holding the sword hilt was slightly sweaty.
In the end, Lu Xianfeng knelt stiffly on the ground and picked her up in an unskilled manner. His eyes didn't seem to know where to look, and his voice was a bit nervous, "You...where do you live? I'll take you back." "
He has never been so close to another girl...
Shen Jiao didn't dare to say it because she was afraid of bumping into Huo Changze when she went back. So she lied unnaturally: "I...I don't have any medicine there."
Fortunately, Lu Xianfeng himself was too nervous and didn't notice her expression.
Lu Xianfeng heard her say that there was no medicine and that his yard was very close to here, so he carried her directly to his yard.
Shen Jiao sat on the stool and looked down at Lu Xianfeng who was applying the medicine to her.
Lu Xianfeng looked serious, as serious as if he was fighting the enemy. But his movements were very gentle, for fear of hurting the tender skin under his hands.
Shen Jiao, who thought Lu Xianfeng was extremely vicious a few days ago, suddenly changed her view of him. She thought silently, it doesn't look very vicious after all...
