She tried to pry the man's hands off her waist, but she couldn't; his arms were as stiff as steel.
"Let go of me, you're hurting me."
Lu Ziqian released her and turned her around so that she was facing him.
She has beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and a fair complexion; she is as beautiful as ever.
Just one glance was enough to trigger a reaction in his body.
I want to sleep with her, right now!
He wanted her to cry beneath him, to hear her moan and beg for mercy.
After seeing her, he seemed to forget everything else, his mind filled only with those things.
Su Yujiao looked into his burning, naked eyes, which seemed to glow with a green light, and wanted to run away in fear.
However, Lu Ziqian did not allow her to escape even a little, trapping her firmly between himself and the table.
"I've written you so many letters, why haven't you replied to a single one?"
Do you know how much I miss you?
Still angry?
"We haven't seen each other for almost a year, why are you still so short-tempered?"
Without saying a word, Su Yujiao was suddenly picked up by Lu Ziqian, who strode towards his tent.
"Ah... put me down!"
"Lu Ziqian, have you no shame?"
"I'm here to practice medicine, not to warm your bed." Su Yujiao hit and bit him, kicking and struggling.
Unfortunately, the two were too different in size, and no matter how much she struggled, it was no use.
The man chuckled: "No problem, I'll warm the bed first and then go practice medicine. I'm about to explode with frustration."
Lu Ziqian didn't stop; instead, he quickened his pace, disregarding anyone's gaze.
He married his own wife with great ceremony and formality, and could hold her however he wanted.
Su Yujiao wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. After struggling to no avail, she could only cover her face with her sleeve and pretend to be dead.
Just as the two arrived at the military camp, Mo Shu's shout suddenly rang out from outside the gate.
"General, Ashina has led his men to attack the city."
Lu Ziqian frowned deeply. Damn it, they really know how to pick their timing!
Helpless, the man could only leave Su Yujiao on the bed and reluctantly leave!
"Throw rolling stones!"
"Pour the kerosene!"
"Use crossbows!"
Lu Ziqian personally stood on the city wall to direct the troops, looking down at the thousands of soldiers below without any fear.
However, despite Lu Ziqian's exhaustion of all means, his men continued their relentless attacks.
Just as the city gate was about to be breached, a group of elite soldiers came from the south and joined the Jurchen forces in a direct confrontation.
Lu Ziqian stood on the city wall, staring at the group dressed in southern Xinjiang attire, trying to determine whether they were friend or foe.
When the Jurchen cavalry faced the poisonous insects and snakes of Miao territory, their formation was thrown into chaos, horses neighed and fled, trampling and killing countless people.
No matter how ruthless Ashina was, he could not control this sudden situation.
Helpless, he had no choice but to call it quits!
Lu Ziqian breathed a sigh of relief. This battle was finally over, and Ashina would not easily attack the city again.
He only hoped that the soldiers of the Lu family army would recover quickly.
These past few days have been filled with defeats, with him only defending and not attacking. He has never felt so humiliated in his life.
Mo Shu reported: "General, the army below the city is from the Southern Frontier Kingdom, led by Prince Nan Sheng of the Southern Frontier."
"We don't know why he helped us, and they don't seem to be leaving. What should we do now?"
"I'll go down and meet him myself."
"Master, you mustn't!"
"We don't even know if they are friend or foe, how can we open the city gates so easily?"
Lu Ziqian ignored him and instead used his lightness skill to fly down from the city wall.
There's absolutely no need to open the city gates!
When Nan Sheng's guards saw Lu Ziqian come down, they immediately stood in front of the Crown Prince to protect him.
"Thank you for your help, Prince Nan."
"Why would the Southern Prince help us?"
The man on horseback was dressed in black, with countless braids in his hair and his body adorned with various silver ornaments, a style very characteristic of Miao region.
Nan Sheng was very good-looking, with a sickly pale complexion and delicate features, especially his long, narrow almond-shaped eyes, which made him seem unapproachable.
While Lu Ziqian was sizing him up, Nan Sheng was also sizing up Lu Ziqian.
"Are you the man the saintess loves?"
"It's nothing special."
Lu Ziqian frowned, disliking his condescending attitude, but the other man had indeed helped him just now.
He cannot turn against someone just because they have a bad attitude.
"Saintess?"
"Chen Yunniang is the newly appointed Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang. I have come here to welcome the Holy Maiden back to the country, not specifically to help you."
Lu Ziqian's brows remained furrowed, but he was also deeply shocked.
How did Chen Yunniang become the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang?
"I have no obligation to explain to you."
A dashing young man in fine clothes looked down at him from above.
Lu Ziqian also lost his temper and severed the opponent's horse's leg with a single sword strike, telling him to be arrogant.
He has never liked looking up to others!
As Nan Sheng fell from her horse, countless snakes, insects, and rats flew out, and Lu Ziqian swiftly cleaved them all in two with a few sword strokes.
"Can you speak to me properly now?"
"stop!"
Nan Sheng took control of the guards behind her.
He smiled like a fox: "Won't you invite me in for a seat?"
"Is this how your Great Ming Kingdom treats its guests?"
Lu Ziqian snorted coldly: "Whether they are guests or not is still hard to say."
"Chen Yunniang is a wanted criminal of our Great Ming Kingdom, and you will not be allowed to take her away."
"Your Highness, please return."
Nan Sheng's expression changed: "How could I, the Holy Maiden of Southern Frontier, be a prisoner of your Great Ming Kingdom?"
"Does General Lu intend to declare war on my southern border?"
Lu Ziqian was speechless: "You call her a saintess? How did she suddenly become the saintess of your Southern Frontier?"
