"So the goddess is actually so young."

"She looks much younger than me."

"I heard that you and my elder brother Ji Wenxuan are very close, so we can be considered family!"

"My lord has asked me to invite you over!"

"We would like to invite you, Goddess, to Kyoto to discuss important matters."

The man in black next to him saw him shamelessly trying to get close to him!

I was so angry I almost drew my knife!

"Ji Wenzhuo! Everyone knows you've been jealous of Ji Wenxuan since you were little! And now you've recognized him as your older brother!"

"I don't know who it was a while ago, but they managed to get Ji Wenxuan and his mother sent to some godforsaken place to be county magistrates!"

Ji Wenzhuo chuckled as he closed the fan and rhythmically patted it in his hand!

He looked at the man in black who was in the lead!

"How do you know so much about the Ji family's affairs?"

"And why do you always speak in a low voice?"

"Looks like an old acquaintance!"

Ji Wenzhuo tapped his head with his fan, then looked as if he had just realized something!

He pointed at the man in black opposite him with his fan and laughed heartily!

"Oh! I remember now! You must be Lu Jingshuo!"

"I wonder how Uncle Lu is? His wounds have healed. Hou Ye has been thinking of you all very much. I never expected that you would actually join the forces of Prince Kang."

"Didn't your family always say you wanted to support the legitimate heir? Why don't you go to Prince Shun? Could it be that Prince Shun doesn't want you at all?"

The masked man in the lead could no longer hold back and angrily ripped off the black cloth covering his face!

No matter how hard the people around tried to stop him, they couldn't!

"Ji Wenzhuo! I'm going to kill you! If your father hadn't stabbed me in the back, my father wouldn't have been injured, and His Majesty wouldn't have died!"

"Your whole family are traitors."

May he die a horrible death!

Ji Wenzhuo burst into laughter!

"I was just testing the waters, I didn't expect it to really be you."

"Lu Jingshuo! You're still as stupid as ever."

"Isn't he just the son of a great general?"

"Then let me see today! What exactly did your father teach you?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two groups started fighting!

Judging from this posture, it seemed like it was a fight to the death!

She had actually noticed that someone was following her all along, and Xiaoyue also sensed two different auras nearby, frantically alerting Lin Ru in her mind!

Lin Ru then kicked Xu Yixuan down!

She had thought it would take some effort to get the two groups to fight, but before she could even speak, they had already started fighting!

Judging from their appearance, the people Lu Jingshuo brought over were indeed quite formidable. They were clearly seasoned veterans who had been through many battles, and they used deadly techniques, each strike fatal!

Ji Wenzhuo's side is relatively weaker; judging from his expression, it seems he still has a backup plan!

Lin Ru called Wu Ling over and whispered a few words in his ear!

Then we sat in the carriage and watched the play!

If someone is at a disadvantage, you should lend a hand!

As time went on, Ji Wenzhuo's complexion worsened, and he was no longer the confident man he had been before!

When Wu Ling returned, she learned that Ji Wenzhuo had ambushed many more people ahead of her. These people were all very strong and had undergone systematic training!

However, there was one very strange thing: all those people were women!

Judging from Ji Wenzhuo's nonchalant demeanor and the disdainful look he gave Lin Ru, it's clear that he doesn't respect women at all. So why are all his subordinates women?

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought!

After about half a cup of tea's time, the two sides finally stopped. Although both sides were badly injured, Lu Jingshuo had a slight advantage!

He ruthlessly trampled Ji Wenzhuo under his feet!

And with a forceful stomp, he ground his foot hard against his face!

"Ji Wenzhuo! You traitor! I will kill you! To avenge His Majesty!"

Although Ji Wenzhuo's face was being stepped on, his mind was entirely on the group of people he had ambushed. They had clearly agreed that as soon as they heard fighting or shouting, they should come over immediately!

It's surprising that so much time has passed and no one has come. Could it be that these people have discovered something? Are they planning to betray him?

He went to great lengths to get his hands on these people!

They had originally planned to use these people to deal with Ji Wenxuan, making them fight amongst themselves! But an unexpected incident occurred halfway through their journey!

He had no desire to waste any more time!

"Lu Jingshuo! If you kill me now, I guarantee that the Marquis of Zhenxi will go to war with Prince Kang! You can try me if you don't believe me."

"If you don't dare, then release me right now!"

Lu Jingshuo understood in his heart that Ji Wenzhuo's identity was too special. If it were anyone else, perhaps the Marquis of Zhenxi would turn a blind eye, but this was the son of a meritorious official!

When the Marquis of Zhenxi rebelled and attacked the city, Minister Ji was there to provide support from the palace, and Ji Wenzhuo led his men to open the city gates! Now everyone is acting independently, and some people are already considering joining the Marquis of Zhenxi!

King Kang, however, had the smallest territory and the weakest military force among these people! Therefore, he could not force a direct confrontation with Ji Wenzhuo at this time, otherwise he would not have come masked to capture the goddess!

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to let go of his foot!

When Ji Wenzhuo stood up, he felt a burning pain on his face and spat out a mouthful of saliva with disdain!

"You're smart to be sensible! Since that's the case, hand over the goddess and the divine artifact to us! Otherwise, do you know the consequences?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingshuo's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again!

"Ji Wenzhuo! Don't push your luck!"

Lin Ru saw that the two were about to start arguing again!

He quickly said, "Your masters must have heard the rumors outside, which is why they sent you here."

"There are two of you, and I am only one. It's not enough to go around. I'm sure your master wouldn't want half a goddess to go back!"

"How about this! One of you takes the divine artifact, and the other can only capture me and take me back to report!"

"Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds!"

"I would like you two to continue fighting, so that I might have a chance to escape. But I am, after all, a goddess, sent down by heaven to save all living beings. You are all among living beings, and I don't want you or anyone else to lose their lives because of this!"

"So, I'm willing to go with you!"

When Wu Juan and the others heard this, their mouths dropped open!

What's going on here? This isn't something her young lady should say!

Shouldn't the normal response be, "If you're not happy, then fight!"?

What's going on here now?

Although they were surprised, no one spoke, afraid of disrupting Lin Ru's plans!

Ji Wenzhuo and Lu Jingshuo looked at each other, they never expected that the goddess would say such a thing!
