"Ugh..." Tuoba Min vomited violently, but unfortunately, thanks to Feng Yan's punch, he didn't spit out a single piece of flesh.
Jiang Chuan asked curiously, "Why go through all this trouble, chopping it up?"
“I’m afraid he won’t be able to swallow it, so I’ll help him.”
"You're actually a pretty nice person."
Feng Yan wiped his hands and nodded lightly, "Hmm, it's alright."
Tuoba Min was going crazy. "You fucking call this guy nice? Which bastard trained you? He's so perverted!"
ah!!
Lu Xiaoyun walked over, looked around, and saw that there seemed to be nowhere for her to strike. So she swung her fist and punched his severed limb.
Are all of you mothers so lacking in martial ethics?!
Ahhh, help!
Tuoba Min was in so much pain that her whole body convulsed, and she collapsed to the ground, rolling around, forgetting even to vomit up the disgusting thing she had just eaten.
"Master, all the men he brought are imprisoned in one place. One of them, who seems to be his confidant, said that he wants to speak to you personally about Tuoba Min." Wu Chuan whispered in Lu Xiaoyun's ear.
Lu Xiaoyun nodded, glanced at Tuoba Min rolling on the ground, and followed Wu Chuan over.
Zhu Yu glanced coldly at Tuoba Min, who lay in a pool of blood. The man had lost too much blood and hadn't fainted yet because of the extreme pain. They were far from the town; if he didn't want to die, he wouldn't leave, so he followed Lu Xiaoyun there.
The north wind howled, and Tuoba Min's forehead was covered in blood and cold sweat.
He forced himself to sit up, clutching his bleeding arm tightly, and ran toward his main tent, where there were medicines to stop the bleeding.
No one stopped him along the way. He took out some hemostatic medicine, and with trembling hands, he poured it haphazardly onto the wounds on his arms and groin, then tore off a piece of cloth and tightly wrapped the wounds.
She only fainted completely after doing all of this.
Lu Xiaoyun and Wu Chuan went to the place where Tuoba Min's guards were being held.
There were quite a few people, so Wu Chuan and Xi Yi, along with a group of guards, kept them under surveillance in an open area. At that moment, the people were crouching on the ground with their hands behind their heads, a large, dense group.
Nanliang is arid and prone to sandstorms, so with so many people together, the air has a pungent, unpleasant smell.
Zhu Yu, who has always had a slight obsession with cleanliness, frowned unhappily.
As soon as Tuoba Min's confidant saw Lu Xiaoyun, he knelt down before him with a thud, thinking to himself that this group of people must be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince, who has many capable and extraordinary people around him.
"I... I am a confidant of the Third Prince and know many things he doesn't allow others to know. I can tell you anything you want to know, I just beg you to let me go. Please, please put in a good word for me in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Lu Xiaoyun glanced at him impassively. Did this person mistake them for the Crown Prince of Southern Liang's men? He's quite the imagination, isn't he?
"Bring him here," Lu Xiaoyun ordered.
A gust of north wind blew by, and Zhu Yu felt a little cold, so he hugged his arms and rubbed them together.
Lu Xiaoyun saw this and said to Wu Chuan, "Find a warm place."
The confidant hurriedly bowed and flattered, "There's a charcoal brazier burning in Tuoba Min's tent; it's warm there. Our Southern Liang is not like the Central Plains; winter comes in September, and it's late at night now. If this young lady is cold, that place is just right, just right."
Lu Xiaoyun nodded to Wu Chuan, took off her cloak and draped it over Zhu Yu, turned him to face her, and then personally tied the cloak for him.
She took his hand and led him toward Tuoba Min's main tent.
Wu Chuan grabbed the man and pulled him over.
The cloak, carrying Lu Xiaoyun's body heat and her faint pine scent, immediately warmed Zhu Yu considerably.
A charcoal fire had already been lit in Tuoba Min's tent, but the person covered in blood and unconscious ruined the atmosphere.
Without Lu Xiaoyun and Zhu Yu giving any orders, a guard came over, grabbed the unconscious Tuoba Min, and threw him into the dilapidated tent where cattle and sheep were kept.
Lu Xiaoyun gestured for Zhu Yu to sit closer to the charcoal brazier, and then sat down beside him before saying, "Speak, tell me everything you know, and I will speak well of you to the Crown Prince."
The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, these people were the Crown Prince's men; he hadn't made a wrong bet.
He bowed and said, "His Highness the Third Prince has always been at odds with the Crown Prince..."
“Say something useful,” Lu Xiaoyun interrupted coldly. “I have limited patience. I’ll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to tell me everything you know.”
"Yes, yes. There is a secret dungeon in the Third Prince's residence. Several ministers who did not support him and disappeared were skinned alive by him, and their bodies are inside."
"Furthermore, the former Crown Princess did not die at all. Tuoba Min coveted her beauty and imprisoned her in his secret chamber for his own pleasure."
"There is one more crucial matter: Tuoba Min has united several major tribes and is preparing to take action against the Crown Prince at the end of this month, killing him and replacing him."
He swallowed hard. "That's why Tuoba Min has been hesitant to return to the capital; he wants to establish an alibi."
"In fact, in a few days, he will disguise himself and return to the capital. Once the crown prince dies, he will return here to pick up the princess of the Great Zhou and bring her back to the capital."
He finished recounting the most important things he knew in one breath before catching his breath: "I have told you everything I know. Please put in a good word for me in front of His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Yes, very good, I will consider it."
The things this person mentioned were all extremely important, and Lu Xiaoyun waved for Wu Chuan to take the person out.
Feng Yan: "Master, should we kill this person?"
Zhu Yu snorted: "Such a good person should naturally be reserved for Tuoba Min."
Lu Xiaoyun nodded. Only internal strife in Nanliang could weaken their strength and stop them from thinking about sending Ruoling for a marriage alliance. How could they miss such a good opportunity?
Inside Ruoling's tent, Lu Yuyan held her tightly in his arms: "Ruoling, don't be afraid. It's me, Ayan. I'm here. Don't scare me, Ruoling..."
Ruoling's consciousness slowly returned, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to be in a man's arms. The fear she felt when she was pressed down by a strange man rose up from the soles of her feet again. She trembled all over, felt cold all over, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
Her heart pounded wildly for a moment, and just as she was about to cry out, she heard a man's whisper in her ear: "Ruoling, it's me, it's Ayan, I'm here, don't be afraid..."
Ruoling slowly raised her head, her gaze began to focus, and this time she finally saw the face of the man in front of her clearly. This face slowly overlapped with the face of the boy she had been longing for.
Ruoling's terrified eyes gradually turned into aggrieved ones, and a layer of wet mist gradually covered her eyes. Suddenly, she hugged Ayan's waist tightly, buried her face in his chest, and finally let out a loud cry.
It's good that she can cry; what I feared most was her dazed, bewildered look just now.
Ruoling curled herself into a small ball, trembling slightly in his arms at first, then gradually increasing in volume, her cries growing louder and louder until she was breathless, as delicate and fragile as a baby.
