As their hearts beat, many people lowered their eyes and looked away.
Few people dared to look directly at Lu Yunqi without moving their eyes away.
Firstly, his identity is intimidating, and secondly, his appearance.
Strictly speaking, he is not ugly, and he is quite good-looking if you look closely. But I don’t know if it’s because of his expressionless face or the natural coldness of his eyes, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable when they see him.
So when people saw that it was Lu Yunqi coming, they avoided his gaze.
Miss Jun did not dodge. The people's feelings were not the same as those of the Nine-Year-Old Princess, whether before or after the marriage.
No matter how fierce Lu Yunqi was before, he was just a subject.
After they got married, he became even more gentle and kind in front of her.
Miss Jun clenched her hands in front of her again.
"It's been a long time since we last met! You haven't changed at all, still so frugal with words." Zhu Zan's voice resounded in the silent street, "Why don't you even say hello when you meet people?"
Are Zhu Zan and Lu Yunqi very familiar with each other?
Miss Jun had this doubt in her mind. She had never heard Lu Yunqi mention it before.
He is also very frugal with words, an evaluation that Miss Jun finds very unfamiliar.
It turns out that he is a man who values words as if they were gold.
When I'm with myself, I talk a lot.
It was really difficult for him to marry me in the beginning, and he had to act in a way that went against his nature.
Standing behind the crowd, Miss Jun looked at Lu Yunqi through the gaps in the swaying crowd.
Lu Yunqi still had no expression on his face and had no intention of speaking. He glanced at Zhu Zan and just shook his head slightly.
He shook his head slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly froze. The Jinyi Guards raised their swords and rushed towards Zhu Zan. There was only Zhu Zan in their eyes, and the officers and soldiers who stood in front of Zhu Zan turned a blind eye.
They just wanted to catch this person. In their eyes, the others were not human beings, but just objects that could be kicked over or chopped down in the way.
Lord Wu and the officers and soldiers also looked serious and determined.
Unexpectedly, the two sides started fighting without even saying a word when they met. Lu Qianhu was indeed strong and decisive in his actions, and the people fled in all directions with a shout.
Miss Jun was knocked back to the corner by the crowd, still looking over there.
Amid the chaos, the sound of horse hooves could be heard again, accompanied by shouts of rebuke.
"stop!"
Miss Jun looked and saw another group of people coming.
"All the people from the Five Cities Military Department are here!"
"Now the fight gets even more intense."
“Who are they helping?”
The people hiding in the corners were talking quietly.
But to their regret, the people from the Five Cities Military Department did not help anyone. Instead, they escorted a red-robed eunuch in his forties out.
"Stop, stop! What are you doing!" he screamed, looking angry and terrified.
Before he finished speaking, someone else started shouting.
"Eunuch, sir! Help! Lord Lu is trying to kill me!"
Who else could it be but Zhu Zan.
His men also ran up to the eunuch and grabbed his sleeve.
Just like a child who gets into trouble and is chased and beaten.
The eunuch still had some impression of this scene. It seemed that there was a similar scene many years ago.
A young boy rolled and crawled over his legs.
"Help me, eunuch. I'm going to be beaten to death by the man pretending to be the prince." He screamed miserably, almost unable to stand.
The man who he said was going to beat him to death was lying on the ground with his face covered with blood.
The eunuch couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling when he thought of what happened back then. What a fool! How can he be 22 years old but still act like a 12-year-old?
"My Lord, you are not a child anymore, stop acting like this." He sighed.
Zhu Zan looked at him and uttered a sound.
"It's you, Eunuch Du." He said, his face full of joy and gratitude, "It's you who saved me again."
He looked like he wanted to hug him, and Eunuch Du couldn't help but shudder.
He is a eunuch. Many people avoid them. Even if they try to please them, they still hate them in their hearts, especially they don't want to have physical contact with them.
But Zhu Zan didn't care at all.
Eunuch Du felt an inexplicable warmth and some discomfort in his heart. He stepped back and avoided Zhu Zan, and his expression became much more relaxed.
"Master Zhu, stop talking nonsense. You know why Lord Lu wants to arrest you," he said.
"I know." Zhu Zan said, his expression was serious and not perfunctory, "So I will go to explain and confess to His Majesty. Take me to see His Majesty quickly."
As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Yunqi over there.
Lu Yunqi still looked at him expressionlessly.
"Look how scary he is. I don't want to be taken away by him," said Zhu Zan.
Lu Yunqi is very scary.
But can he scare you? The eunuch sighed in his heart. You even beat the prince at will, and you can pretend to be innocent after beating him. Who can compare with you?
You really have a good dad.
"Lord Lu." The eunuch looked at Lu Yunqi and raised his hand to salute, "His Majesty has ordered that Prince Zhu be summoned to the palace."
Lu Yunqi stretched out his hand.
The eunuch immediately understood and took out the warrant. A Jinyiwei guard stepped forward to take it and examined it carefully, then turned around and nodded to Lu Yunqi.
Lu Yunqi waved his hand, and the Jinyiwei sheathed their swords again and made way.
"Your Highness, please come in," said the eunuch.
Zhu Zan responded yes.
"Please come in, Eunuch Du," he said politely, without any trace of the unruly attitude he had shown earlier.
The two of them walked towards the front imperial city, surrounded by the Five Cities Army.
"Eunuch Du, we haven't seen each other for many years. You haven't changed at all. You are more energetic than you were seven or eight years ago."
"Eunuch Du, your badge has been upgraded to this level, it's amazing."
"Eunuch Du, what kind of tea do you like? You see, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything..."
The chattering never stopped as soon as they took a step. The eunuch couldn't help laughing, but then he quickly put on a stern face.
"Prince, according to the rules when we are out on duty, we cannot talk," he said.
Zhu Zan made an apologetic expression, bowed to him, and then put on a well-behaved expression without saying a word.
Clever.
Qiaoguai is pretty good.
Eunuch Du didn't dare to really think of him as a well-behaved person in his heart, because who knows where this ancestor might have tricked you.
Watching them walk away on the street, Lord Wu waved his hand.
"Let's go and guard the city gate." He said, as if nothing had happened. Without even looking at the Jinyiwei over there, the officers and soldiers also left in a hurry.
Only Lu Yunqi and others were left on the street, and the scattered people were looking around carefully.
The Jinyiwei wanted to arrest someone, but were first stopped by a group of soldiers. Then the arrested person clamored to see the emperor, and the emperor really sent someone to pick him up.
After all these years, this is the first time I've seen the Royal Guards be so shameless.
The people looked at them in surprise and excitement.
"Sir, is that all?" Captain Jiang said in a low voice.
Lu Yunqi glanced at him.
"We have done our work," he said, "so let it go."
Are they done?
Zhu Zan still hadn't been caught. If he came before the emperor, there would surely be a lot of ministers who would speak to him, and it would be even more difficult for the Jinyiwei to interrogate Zhu Zan again.
Jiang Baihu frowned.
Lu Yunqi has already mounted his horse and turned around.
"Your Majesty asked us to escort Zhu Zan to the capital, and Zhu Zan has returned now," he said.
That's fine too.
Captain Jiang hurriedly followed and mounted his horse, and Lu Yunqi glanced at him.
"We obey your majesty," he said.
He talks very little, but fortunately his subordinates are used to it.
We obey your majesty.
Your Majesty, we will do whatever you ask us to do and stop when you ask us to stop.
As for other people’s opinions, they don’t matter at all.
Captain Jiang smiled and answered yes, motioning everyone to mount their horses.
"Back to the town doctor," he said.
Watching these Royal Guards leaving on the street, the people came out from their hiding places, talking and pointing. Suddenly, the team stopped and Lu Yunqi, who was in the middle, looked back.
The noisy crowd seemed to be frozen in an instant, and became silent.
Lu Yunqi's eyes swept over the people around him, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, some were panicking, some were dodging, some were trying to please, and some had no expression on their faces.
"What's wrong, sir?" Jiang Baihu asked, looking back, "Is there something wrong?"
Lu Yunqi said nothing.
The master was not a talkative person, so Captain Jiang did not ask any more questions.
But Lu Yunqi spoke.
"I think..." he said suddenly.
He suddenly felt that someone was watching him.
