Wen Mingyun returned to the camp and took the jade token to ask for an audience with Princess Pingyang, while Xiao Yushu and Meng Qinglian led Li Huo to find Lu Yihong.
Not long after, Shen Yuan and Lu Yihong met, and Lu Yihong quietly entered the mountain with more than 40 people.
Lu Yihong served as Zhonglang General in the Military and Horse Department of Kyoto, and was in charge of the daily security and defense of Kyoto. The more than 40 people he brought with him were all city defense troops, and they did not alert the Feihu Camp guarded by the Ministry of War this time.
"Brother, you are here." Lu Waner pulled on Lu Yihong's soft armor, her eyes filled with joy.
Lu Yihong saw Lu Waner standing in front of him alive and kicking, and his tense face relaxed slightly. Then, his face darkened again, and he pushed Lu Wan'er away: "I'll settle the score with you when I go back."
Lu Yihong entered the cave and glanced at Shen Zhuo and Zhang Jingyi with a dark face. Shen Zhuo and Zhang Jingyi suddenly felt a chill coming over them and couldn't help shivering. Then they picked up their backpacks and ran away.
"Hey, Jiaojiao seems a little panicked?"
Not far from the cave, sitting on a big tree next to a rock, were two teenagers who looked exactly the same. It was Shen Wei and Shen Xi.
"You must be frightened by Lu Yihong's big black face. Didn't you see the tense look on his face just now? He looked like a black-faced Guan Gong." Shen Wei coldly snorted.
"That's right! These girls are so courageous." Shen Xi leaned on a tree branch, dangling his legs and smiling lazily.
"It's not entirely their fault for what happened today. There were also people who deliberately wanted to frame them." Shen Wei looked at the three people who were tied into a ball and unconscious under the tree with a cold expression.
Not far away, Lu Yihong had helped Wei Ziyuan onto his horse, and the group walked away quickly.
"They have withdrawn. It seems that they can't wait for the people behind the scenes. Let's go too." Shen Xi kicked off his feet and jumped down from the tree. He kicked the three people on the ground and asked, "What's this?" What to do with the three of us?”
"Qingshan." Shen Wei lowered his eyes and shouted softly.
A black shadow flew out of the woods behind him and stood next to Shen Wei.
"Take these three people back to the camp and keep them under good supervision." Shen Wei ordered.
"Yes." Qingshan responded.
After saying this, he let out a few bird chirps, and three men in black flew out of the woods. Each of them picked up a man on the ground, and quickly disappeared into the forest.
"Tsk, tsk, Ah Wei, I remember that Qingshan was your long-term follower given by your father, right? When did you get trained to be the leader of the secret guard?" Shen Xi said in surprise.
"Are you envious?" Shen Wei glanced sideways at Shen Xi, "If you are envious, just call me second brother, and I will reluctantly help you train a secret guard."
"Oh, it's just a few secret guards, who cares!" "Second brother" made Shen Xi jump up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, "I'll go to the Nine Swords Gate and pull out a few people, who's better than you?" Is the secret guard strong?"
Shen Wei glanced at the furious Shen Xi and said softly: "I was born a moment before you, and he was your brother. It's useless for you to jump around, and it's even more useless for you not to accept it."
After saying that, Shen Wei turned around and walked out.
"Shen Wei! Don't bully others too much~~~" Shen Xi cursed and followed behind.
When Shen Wei and Shen Xi returned to the camp, they saw that Shen Yuan's tent was brightly lit, and four people, Qingfeng, Qingyun, Qingyue and Qingliu, were guarding the tent door. The two of them looked at each other and felt something was wrong, so they rushed to Shen Yuan's tent.
As soon as the door curtain was opened, Shen Zhuo was seen kneeling in the middle, with Princess Pingyang and Shen Yuan sitting on top, and Shen Yao, Shen Ting and Han Mei sitting on both sides.
As soon as the two of them came in, they heard Shen Yuan say in a cold voice: "Kneel down."
Shen Wei and Shen Xi looked at each other, then obediently walked to Shen Zhuo and knelt down side by side.
Shen Zhuo looked at the two of them strangely, wondering why Shen Wei and Shen Xi were also kneeling.
"Jiaojiao, what did I say last time when I went to the house for justice?" Shen Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Well, my father said, 'A gentleman does not build dangerous walls, and a rich man's son does not sit down in the hall.'" Shen Zhuo replied in a low voice.
"But, but this time is different, you can't just ignore it!" As soon as Shen Zhuo finished reading, he hurriedly defended.
"The opponent is three brave and skilled soldiers, how dare you!" Shen Yuan was furious and put down the tea cup in his hand.
"I didn't want to either. I was chasing Jingyi, but as I chased him, I was assassinated. Dad, we can't do it. The other party has already discovered us." Shen Zhuo said loudly.
"Come here!" Shen Yuan shouted loudly.
Shen Zhuo was startled and was about to pounce on Princess Pingyang. Dad's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot and he looked scary. If I ask for help again, I'm afraid it won't be over after just five blows.
Before Shen Zhuo could jump up, he heard Shen Yuan continue: "Pull these two scoundrels out and hit twenty big boards each!"
"ah?!"
Shen Zhuo moved for a moment and was at a loss. How come it was the second brother and the third brother who was being beaten?
Shen Wei and Shen Xi took the initiative to go out and receive the punishment without waiting for anyone to come and stop them.
"Dad, why are you punishing the second and third brothers?" Shen Zhuo looked confused.
"If you see your little sister in danger and you don't stop her, even beating them twenty times is an easy thing."
"They have been following you, and you didn't notice it at all. How dare you imitate others and act chivalrously!" Shen Yuan became angrier as he spoke, and the beard under his chin trembled.
Shen Zhuo suddenly realized that the person guarding the rabbit outside the cave was the second brother and the third brother.
Shen Zhuo hurriedly told about the sudden danger in the cave, blinked a few tears, and kept begging for Shen Wei and Shen Xi.
Princess Pingyang couldn't stand it anymore and advised: "Okay, you should calm down."
"Even if the third child is ignorant, you should always trust the second child. He has his own ideas for doing this. Since they have been following Jiaojiao, they will never let Jiaojiao really be in danger."
Only then did Shen Yuan wave his hand to stop the people outside the tent. Shen Wei and Shen Xi limped into the tent, supporting each other.
Qingfeng's eyes twitched as he watched the execution. He just hit three big shots each, okay? The two young masters shouldn't go too far in their acting.
While Shen Zhuo was kneeling in the tent to be punished, Lu Waner was also kneeling in Lu Yihong's tent to be punished.
"Is that wrong?!" Lu Yihong said sternly, holding a long whip.
"I'm right!" Lu Waner frowned.
"Hu~~~Pa~~" With a sound, Lu Yihong waved the long whip in his hand, whistling and throwing it heavily on the ground, making a huge sound.
Lu Waner's face turned pale, but she remained stubborn and said loudly: "If I do it again, I will still go and save people!"
"When I was rescuing people, I just thought, if, if my father and brother are in danger one day, some kind-hearted people will come to save you."
"Even if you beat me to death, I won't admit your mistake!"
Lu Yihong felt sad, and the hand holding the whip suddenly became heavy, and he slowly lowered it.
"I'm afraid Wan'er's impulsive temper can't be changed. Instead of scolding her and lecturing her, it's better to find more self-defense tools for her." Lu Jinxuan, who was standing aside, walked over and gently took the whip away from Lu Yihong's hand.
"It's just that my charming third brother gave her a lot of things, including medicine and weapons, but I didn't have anything." Lu Waner got up in a hurry, complaining.
Lu Yihong was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted: "Who told you to get up? Kneel down! You are not allowed to get up until you kneel for an hour."
"I'll take you back to Kyoto early tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, Lu Yihong walked out of the tent like a gust of wind. No one knew how deep the fear was in his heart when he saw Li Huo coming back with an empty horse. And when he saw Lu Wan'er standing in front of him with her hair and beard intact, all the tense muscles in her body relaxed.
Lu Yihong tore off the soft armor on his body, found a big knife, and started practicing "swishing, swishing, swishing" until he was sweating profusely and the panic in his heart calmed down.
"Your Majesty, do you want to send Miss Lu back to Kyoto?"
A clear voice came from behind. Lu Yihong turned around and saw that it was Shen Wei, the second son of the Shen family. He put the knife away, picked up the clothes on the side and put them on, and said, "Second Young Master, do you want to send the Fourth Young Lady back as well?"
"No." Shen Wei shook his head, "It's better to keep it safe under your nose than to send it back."
"Second Young Master means..."
"Gather a few of them in a tent and send someone to guard them, so that everyone can feel at ease."
So, early the next morning, all the six fairies of Mingshan gathered in Lu Waner's tent to play leaf cards.
"If I had known I would still be playing leaf cards in the tent, I wouldn't have gone to the riding and shooting class." Zhang Jingyi looked bored.
"Tsk, didn't you hunt General Wei during this hunting trip?" Meng Qinglian glanced sideways at her and hummed, "We suffered a big loss, so we took one look at the handsome man and were grounded for five days."
"Oh, you don't know, last night my eldest brother tried to beat me with such a thick whip." Lu Waner made a gesture as big as a bowl, "Fortunately, my second brother persuaded me to stop."
"But, yesterday was really fun. We saved General Wei!" As she said this, Lu Waner's eyes shone, and she still had some unfinished thoughts.
"Yes, I'm afraid I will never encounter this kind of opportunity again." Xiao Yushu also sighed.
"How about we write this matter into a playbook?" Lu Waner said excitedly.
"Stop it!" Shen Zhuo pressed down Lu Waner, "This is different from beating up Jin Zhi. The mastermind behind the scenes is not a weak woman who is jealous of a man."
"Who could that be?" Zhang Jingyi asked.
Shen Zhuo knew, but she couldn't tell. If this matter is leaked, many people will die.
Wen Mingyun said: "Jiaojiao is right, this is not a family matter in the backyard, but a state matter involving the court and the border. We must not talk about it outside at will, otherwise there will be greater danger."
"But I still want to know who it is?" Zhang Jingyi said a little discouraged.
"Don't worry, your Carrot-Tou brother is at least safe now." Xiao Yushu joked.
But few people know that the carrot-headed brother they call is not safe.
