Chapter 116 Humiliation
This is the second time that Lu Jiuan lied to Shen Tianming. The first time was when Shen Qingtang escaped from the palace.
Shen Tianming had already given Lu Jiuan a big good guy card. He had no doubt that Lu Jiuan would lie to him.
However, such a serious accident happened within the scope of Lu Jiuan's jurisdiction. He couldn't stay out of it no matter what he said.
"I have to punish you well, otherwise I will not be able to convince the people."
To be honest, Shen Tianming still blamed Lu Jiuan a little in his heart. If he could get there earlier, Shen Muchin would not die.
Shen Tianming was still a little emotional until now. He had not realized that he had ignored the problem of opening the formation.
Shen Qingtang had to do it himself to activate the formation. If Shen Qingtang only appeared during the fight with Xie Jingchen, it would not make sense.
But for Shen Qingtang's safety, Lu Jiuan would not remind Shen Tianming even if he found out about this flaw.
Shen Tianming was angry, and he directly demoted Lu Jiuan to a captain to work under Deputy Commander Duan Ci.
What a coincidence, Duan Ci was one of the spies planted by Beiming Kingdom in Fengyin Kingdom.
Lu Jiuan was arranged to go there that day. Duan Ci was well-informed and had already learned about the murder of Xie Jingchen.
Although it was Shen Tianming who killed Xie Jingchen, if Lu Jiuan had not seriously injured Xie Jingchen, the prince might have escaped successfully.
Duan Ci's face was gloomy, and his eyes were staring straight at Lu Jiuan who was kneeling on the ground.
He sneered in his heart. Isn't the invincible Lu Jiuan of Fengyin Kingdom now his subordinate, kneeling in front of him obediently?
Haha, that's all.
Duan Ci thought secretly, now that the prince is dead, the emperor is likely to send troops to attack Fengyin Kingdom. It is estimated that it won't be long before he will receive the news from the emperor asking him to take action.
He can't let Lu Jiuan notice anything unusual.
Duan Ci's eyes flashed with sinisterness. If Lu Jiuan falls into his hands, he will have no good days.
"Okay, go down first, someone will take you to do things."
Lu Jiuan replied respectfully: "Yes, deputy commander."
He has been kneeling here for two hours, and it seems that Duan Ci is deliberately targeting him.
Lu Jiuan followed the guards beside him and walked down.
He really couldn't understand why Duan Ci targeted him when he had no grudges against him?
The next moment, the word "traitor" suddenly flashed through Lu Jiuan's mind.
Could it be that Duan Ci is a spy from the enemy country?
Thinking of this, Lu Jiuan planned to find an opportunity to meet Shen Qingtang, maybe he could get some information from the fourth princess.
However, Duan Ci arranged one task after another for him, and didn't want him to rest at all.
And all the tasks assigned by Duan Ci were humiliating.
Lu Jiuan was required to hand-scrub everyone's toilets, hand-wash everyone's clothes, and clean the living environment by himself. These tasks had nothing to do with his job.
The guards here were all Duan Ci's men, and they also hated Lu Jiuan.
Lu Jiuan immediately went to find Duan Ci, but Duan Ci's answer to him was: "If Captain Lu is not satisfied, go and talk to the emperor yourself."
Lu Jiuan looked at Duan Ci with dissatisfaction. At this juncture, how could the emperor speak for him?
Lu Jiuan is a kind person, but that doesn't mean he is willing to be bullied.
"Deputy Commander Duan, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."
Hearing this, Duan Ci's eyes lit up. This is what he was waiting for!
He raised his voice: "How dare you! Captain Lu dared to disobey my words on his first day here!"
