Even though their soldiers were dressed in civilian clothes, over time, King Lu Shi eventually discovered something was amiss.
Qiu Yan and Ling Ba had already thought of this.
King Lu was timid and would not give up until he found the three men.
Originally, King Lu was not so cautious.
The reason is that the whole country is currently in chaos.
Moreover, the barbarians had always coveted their small kingdoms in the Western Regions, attempting to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Therefore, he would rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free.
Inside the city, the cries of people from the Central Plains could be heard everywhere. They were struggling to break free, not wanting to be captured, but could they really do as they pleased?
Outside the city, everything was in complete chaos.
The few people from the Central Plains all quietly hid at home, planning to go out again after things calmed down.
Others packed their things and left.
Things seem to have gotten a bit out of hand.
Ling Ba shook his head inwardly, "What a sin, what a sin."
He still thought it was because of the three of them.
I don't want to, because of their army.
However, it's also because of them.
The people from the Central Plains here are mostly settled, and their clothing is also in the style of the Western Regions.
With only the three of them dressed in Central Plains attire, it would be difficult for them not to attract the attention of Lu Shijun.
Qin Susu's face showed anger:
"That's outrageous!"
Are these Lu troops deliberately trying to provoke a war?
Her smiling face turned serious.
Seeing a man from the Central Plains pleading with the Lu army to let him go, Qin Su wanted to step forward to stop him, but Qiu Yan waved her hand to stop her.
"Susu, calm down."
Qin Susu has always hated evil and possessed a constant heart of kindness.
Qiu Yan knows her almost better than she knows herself.
However, given the current situation, they must remain calm.
Seeing Princess Mayi's gradually changing expression, she said:
"Princess Mayi, I wish to see your father."
Because of her compatriots in the Central Plains, she felt it was necessary for her to meet King Lu.
Once things are out in the open, everything will be fine.
The people of the Central Plains are innocent, and Qiu Yan doesn't want to disturb their lives.
Upon hearing this, Princess Mayi shook her head vigorously.
"Why would you want to see him? My father is very fierce. Even if he does see you, he will definitely treat you as spies and imprison you."
Can't you see they're arresting people from the Central Plains everywhere in the city?
In Mayi's heart, Qiu Yan and the others were someone she wanted to avoid at all costs.
Qiu Yan: "Save these innocent people from the Central Plains."
Ling Ba and Qiu Yan shared the same idea.
“Princess Mayi, please inform them that an envoy from Dongjin in the Central Plains has come to meet us.”
Princess Mayi hesitated, "But..."
It turns out that the three of them were from Dongjin in the Central Plains.
After hearing this, Qiu Yan nodded secretly.
Ling Ba's words were exactly what she wanted to say.
“If you say it this way, your father will definitely see us.”
Dongjin is a great power; I imagine King Lu Shi would not refuse.
"All right."
Mayi had heard of Dongjin Kingdom, but because it was so far away, she had never been there.
She did not believe that Qiu Yan and the other two were envoys from Dongjin.
Only important figures would receive such a mission.
But what are they doing coming from so far away?
She was thinking, "Aren't you three afraid of being punished by the Emperor of Dongjin for impersonating envoys from Dongjin?"
After all, they are just a small country; they didn't receive such treatment in the past.
Mayi led Qiu Yan and the other two back to the palace.
Unbeknownst to Qiu Yan, Vera appeared in Lu Shi City at that moment.
Vera watched as these people from the Central Plains were ruthlessly captured.
They started by leading their own people to desperately try to stop them.
