Lu Wan struggled to wake up, her delicate eyebrows slightly frowned, and she recognized Shen Yan's voice: "Brother Yan."
The bandits took the opportunity to pounce on her, and Shen Yan took her into his arms and said softly, "Awan, close your eyes."
Lu Wan closed his eyes again dazed.
She felt Shen Yan taking her around in several circles flexibly, seemingly avoiding the enemy's attacks.
There were sounds of wind, heartbeats, and screams in my ears - of course, they came from the group of bandits.
After a while, she regained consciousness and the noise stopped.
"Are you ready?" Lu Wan asked.
The forest was no longer as peaceful as it was at the beginning, and the leaves were covered in blood.
There were several bodies lying on the ground, all of them killed by a single blow.
Shen Yan stood in the middle with Lu Wan in his arms.
The long sword reflected a cold light, and the still warm blood flowed along the sword into the soil.
Shen Yan threw the sword away.
It was clearly a scene of purgatory on earth, but his gown was not stained with a speck of blood. He was still elegant, otherworldly, and graceful like an immortal.
Shen Yan lowered his head and pressed Lu Wan against his chest, and whispered, "Hold me tight, don't open your eyes."
He used his Qinggong skills and brought Lu Wan out of the woods in the blink of an eye.
After arriving at a safe place, Chen Yan took off their masks - the City Lord's Mansion should have been searched by Ye Wu and his men, so there was no need to disguise themselves now.
Lu Wan just opened his eyes and only had time to see a ray of white light.
The boy hugged her directly.
He said nothing and held her tightly.
"Brother Ayan," Lu Wan saw that he was acting so abnormally, and instead curled her eyes at him, "You came just in time, I'm fine now."
Chen Gou must have some conscience, as she was really afraid that she would be logged off here for no apparent reason.
It must be said that the moment he saw Shen Yan appear, Lu Wan's tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed.
It seemed to have been like this since childhood. Shen Yan was always silent, but he could bring endless sense of security to her and Shen Yun.
Shen Yan's pupils shrank slightly.
He almost let her be bullied by others.
He lifted up the girl's slightly pale face and looked at her carefully: "Are you hurt?"
Lu Wan shook his head.
Chen Yan hugged her tightly and said in a muffled voice: "I will never leave you alone in the future."
He prides himself on being extremely intelligent and being able to control everything. But as Lu Wan said before, no matter what, he is just a human being.
We cannot predict the future, and we cannot plan everything for the future.
When he saw the note and learned that Lu Wan was kidnapped, he didn't know how much effort it took for him to regain a bit of rationality from his messy thoughts.
It was he who dragged her into danger.
She had blocked a sword for him before. If Lu Wan was injured even a little bit today, Shen Yan would never be at peace for the rest of his life.
Lu Wan was a little breathless in his embrace, and said helplessly: "It's really okay."
"Shall we go back?" She looked up at him, "I'm a little scared to stay here."
Shen Yan nodded: "Okay."
He held Lu Wanwan in his arms and rode all the way back to the City Lord's Mansion.
At this time, the City Lord's Mansion was surrounded by the Royal Guards.
"My humble servant greets the Major General!" The leader was a young general.
Shen Yan glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "So it's you."
This man's name is Sheng Mo, and he used to be Shen Yan's subordinate when he was in Northern Xinjiang.
Later he was transferred to the Imperial Guard as commander.
Sheng Mo is also the cousin of Thirteenth Prince Wei Mingxing.
The Thirteenth Prince and the Crown Prince are brothers from the same mother, and have always been at odds with Wei Mingtang, Wei Mingjing and others.
It's very interesting that he appears here.
In just a short moment, Shen Yan thought of a lot.
Among so many commanders in the Imperial Guard, it was the inexperienced Sheng Mo who took over the matter.
Most likely, the Thirteenth Prince heard the news and knew that this matter was related to the Sixteenth Prince, so he sent Sheng Mo to watch him make a fool of himself.
Sheng Mo said: "I haven't seen the Major General for more than a year since we parted in the Northern Frontier. I wonder if the Major General is in good health?"
Chen Yan had no intention of saying these polite words to him, and only asked: "Has the Lord of Lizhou been captured?"
Sheng Mo replied: "Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion has been taken into custody, and no one has escaped."
Chen Yan nodded, and seeing Ye Wu on the side, he ordered Ye Wu: "Take Commander Sheng to arrest those assassins."
Ye Wu nodded to Sheng Mo, "Commander Sheng, please."
Hearing this, a gleam of light flashed across Sheng Mo's eyes.
It was because he heard the news secretly that he rushed here from the capital immediately.
Several princes were fighting openly and secretly. Apart from the crown prince, the most prominent ones were the third prince Wei Mingtang and the first prince Wei Mingfeng.
As the prince's younger brother, Wei Mingxing would naturally be happy to see something happen to the rival family.
Just as Chen Yan thought, the Thirteenth Prince would certainly not let go of anything that could bring bad luck to Wei Mingtang and Wei Mingfeng, so he sent his confidant Sheng Mo to Lizhou City first.
Sheng Mo led a small team and followed Ye Wu.
The rest of the people naturally followed Shen Yan's command.
Chen Yan took Lu Wan into the City Lord's Mansion, and at this time they both used their true faces.
I haven't had time to change my clothes yet.
The Lord of Lizhou City, who was under guard, saw a tall figure approaching slowly. He narrowed his eyes and was horrified when he saw the person's appearance.
"Shen! General Shen!"
Shen Yan is here!
He received the news that Shen Yan was missing and had been secretly sending people to investigate, but to no avail.
The Lord of Lizhou City felt that his clothes looked very familiar when he looked at them again, and recalled the strange and unusual behavior of his most beloved son at the gate of the mansion before.
In a flash, he suddenly realized something.
No wonder.
No wonder everything happened so suddenly. In just half a day, earth-shaking changes took place.
