The guards dared not delay any longer and quickly went to arrange a carriage for Lu Shiyan.
The guards around Prince Rui did not move, but kept looking for an opportunity to rescue Prince Rui from Lu Shiyan.
But they didn't get a chance until the other guards hurriedly brought the carriage over.
It wasn't that they were too weak; it was just that Lu Shiyan was so powerful that he was practically inhuman.
The group was incredibly frustrated, but there was nothing they could do. After all, their skills were no match for the other group's.
The group dared not look Prince Rui in the eye.
They made such a big mistake today; they'll definitely be punished when they get back.
No, if the prince is not saved this time, it will be far more than just your punishment.
The consequences are something you simply dare not even think about.
Several guards anxiously asked, "Can you release our prince now?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Lu Shiyan said, "If I release them now, will you use them to threaten me again?"
Prince Rui was furious, his face dark with anger, and said, "Then what will it take for you to let me go?"
"When the time comes to release you, we will release you naturally." After Lu Shiyan finished speaking, he beckoned the craftsmen's families to get on the carriage.
It was clear that these twenty carriages were hastily assembled. Some were new, some were old, some were spacious, and some were cramped. But in any case, they were more than enough to accommodate all the family members.
Some of these carriages were brought by Prince Rui's guards, while the identities of others were unclear.
Regardless of whether these people were Prince Rui's men or not, Lu Shiyan would not use them. He instructed, "Who among you can drive a carriage? Those who can drive, go ahead and drive the carriage; those who can't, find a way to learn."
With Prince Rui in Lu Shiyan's hands, these guards were hesitant to harm the craftsmen's families, fearing they might injure them.
They had no choice but to obediently hand over the carriage to these people.
The families of these craftsmen, including both young and old, numbered over a hundred. It wouldn't be difficult to find twenty of them to drive the carriages.
Soon, the family members boarded the twenty carriages in an orderly fashion. Lu Shiyan, escorting Prince Rui, casually found a roofless carriage to sit in and followed at the back of the procession, wary of Prince Rui's guards causing trouble.
In reality, Prince Rui's guards were worried about his safety and dared not do anything, only following behind cautiously.
Although they dared not act rashly, they had notified the nearby army to come to their rescue while they were searching for the carriage.
No matter how powerful this man was, he was still just one person. Could he possibly be stronger than an entire army? In their view, once the army arrived, they would surely be able to rescue Prince Rui.
The key now is not to provoke the man in front of us, lest he do something rash and harm Prince Rui.
Although Lu Shiyan was unaware that they had secretly notified the nearby army, he had his own plans as he looked at the group of guards following behind him.
He had already thoroughly investigated Prince Rui's situation. Knowing that Prince Rui would not surrender so easily, he discovered that among his guards was one who was both his personal bodyguard and his strategist.
This man is known for his quick wit; by now, the army that came to rescue Prince Rui has probably already found a place to ambush him.
He originally planned to proceed gradually, and once he had sufficient strength, he would first drive out the Western Rong, and then take action against the kings.
But now, the plan needs to be changed.
As he pondered how to arrange manpower, a white eagle flew towards him. Lu Shiyan's expression softened instantly.
