The Lizhou bandits were not fools, so they naturally chose to surrender upon seeing this.
However, Chen Yan did not capture them and bring them back to Lizhou City. Instead, he placed his own men in the bandits' stronghold and allowed this group of people to remain as they were, but forbade them to do evil.
Bai Zhu was behind Shen Yan, a little puzzled: "Major General, why don't you take them back directly?"
Shen Yan said calmly: "What are you going to do with it? To make military achievements for Wei Mingtang?"
Bai Zhu thought about what he said and asked, "What the young general means is to lure the snake out of its hole?"
Without telling Wei Mingtang, Chen Yan and his men had subdued the bandits in the area.
Shen Yan wanted to quietly find out what was going on behind Wei Mingtang and the bandit problem.
"Let's go."
Shen Yan pulled the reins and turned around: "It's been a waste of two days, someone should be worried."
Bai Zhu touched his head and asked subconsciously: "Who would worry?"
"No one is worried about you," the young man on horseback turned around and glanced at him, his dark eyes twinkling with stars, "but someone is worried about me."
Bai Shu: “…”
-
Unknowingly, Lu Wan walked to the grove outside the yard.
She woke up when she heard the breeze blowing past her ears, and stared at the tree in front of her in a daze.
It was under this tree that Chen Yan carefully helped her complete three articles.
Lu Wan knew clearly that Shen Yan was an important character and he couldn’t possibly die.
But when she touched the crushed petals on the ground, she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.
"Ms. Lu."
That sticky, cold, thorny tone sounded again behind Lu Wan.
Perhaps it was the chilly spring breeze, Lu Wan shivered.
"Third Prince." She turned and saluted.
Wei Mingtang looked at her with interest and asked softly, "Miss Lu looks very sad. Are you grieving for Chen Yan?"
He tried to make his voice gentle, but Lu Wan could hear a strong malice in it.
She felt sick and frowned, unwilling to answer, and only said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."
Wei Mingtang smiled lightly.
The corners of his lips curled up, but his eyes were cold, staring at Lu Wan: "Miss Lu, you'd better make plans for yourself as soon as possible."
“It’s been two days, and the people I sent out haven’t found the whereabouts of General Shen.”
"The mountains and forests are remote, and it's a good season for wild animals to hunt. I heard that there are wolves on the scene."
Lu Wan looked up suddenly.
Wei Mingtang gently curled his lips towards her: "I remember that General Shen's injury has not yet fully healed. If he encounters any accident..."
She heard the sinister malice behind Wei Mingtang, and he was extremely looking forward to something happening to Shen Yan.
“Miss Lu is as beautiful as a flower. If something unexpected happens to you, General Shen will not be able to protect you.”
Wei Mingtang was still talking: "Ms. Lu, I think you are a smart person. I am waiting for you to make the right choice."
His eyes swept over the girl's slender body, and the darkness in his eyes grew darker. "Don't make me unhappy, otherwise, I don't know what I will do."
Lu Wan frowned.
She was not a fool, and she heard Wei Mingtang's hint clearly.
Shen Yan was not around, so he was ready to attack her.
If Shen Yan died, it would be just what he wanted.
If Shen Yan came back alive, he would be disgusted.
No matter what, for Wei Mingtang, Lu Wan is a chess piece that can be used and manipulated at will.
At night, when Lu Wan closed her eyes, she could only see Wei Mingtang's creepy gaze, and she couldn't fall asleep.
As he said, Lu Wan’s biggest backer now is Shen Yan.
If Chen Yan was still there, Wei Mingtang would still be afraid and would not dare to act recklessly.
But now he is missing and his life or death is unknown, so Wei Mingtang begins to make moves.
In addition, he has a serious illness and cannot think in a normal way. If Wei Mingtang really wanted to do something to Lu Wan, she would be completely powerless to fight back with her current abilities.
The world is always harsh on women, and it is easy for a prince like Wei Mingtang to harm her reputation.
Lu Wan kept his eyes wide open until the second half of the night when he felt a little sleepy. But when he finally fell asleep, he had a nightmare.
In the dream, there was no news from Shen Yan. She was captured by Wei Mingtang and locked in a pure gold cage like a bird, with her hands and feet locked with thin iron chains.
Wei Mingtang was playing with a dagger that was shining with cold light in his hand and slowly approached her.
With a wicked smile on his face, he used a dagger to open her clothes, and the sharp blade moved across her smooth skin.
He smiled and asked, "How about using this to paint on yourself?"
Then Lu Wan woke up in a cold sweat.
She had never missed Chen Yan so much before. He was a bit of a dog, but the little villain's sense of security was really overflowing.
No, Lu Wan made up his mind to turn the passive situation into active one.
Wei Mingtang waited for her to pack the items and deliver them to his door, but this was absolutely impossible. Then she had to get out of Wei Mingtang's sight before he went crazy.
She was going to find Shen Yan.
Lu Wan thought it over, and Chen Yan left them a secret guard, Suzaku.
She asked Zhuque to protect Chen Yun and take Chen Yun back to the capital when necessary.
As for herself, she went to find Chen Yan alone.
Suzaku naturally refused.
In her eyes, Miss Lu was frail and had no martial arts skills, so how could she allow something to happen to her?
Lu Wan was very moved by her loyalty and responsibility, and then expressed a strong refusal: "If you don't agree, I would rather commit suicide now."
Threat, a blatant threat.
Suzaku was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why are you so persistent, young lady?"
"Because I'm worried about Brother Ayan."
