Lu Yan strolled over to the place where prisoners were being held.
Before I even got close, I heard a series of muffled thuds as if punches were landing on flesh.
Interspersed with indistinct curses.
He raised an eyebrow and walked over with interest.
Two burly men were wrestling together, like two bulls locked in a struggle.
Tu Rong was tall and strong, half a head taller than Ye Xiao.
His body was all muscle, like a lump of iron; he looked like a tough guy.
But right now, he was being pinned to the ground and rubbed like a dead dog by Night Owl.
Night Owl straddled him, raining down punches that grew increasingly brutal, all the while unleashing a torrent of curses:
"You dare to kill people indiscriminately! You dare to go against me! I'll beat you until you're begging for mercy!"
Tu Rong's face was swollen like a pig's head, and all his teeth had been knocked out.
All it could do was wail and moan.
The owl, panting heavily, finally stopped.
Looking down at Tu Rong, he said:
"I know you're not convinced. Come and challenge me anytime you're better."
As soon as he finished speaking, a round of applause came from behind him.
"Well done, Night Owl!"
The owl turned around and saw Lu Yan. He immediately scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Sir, when did you arrive?"
Lu Yan nodded in satisfaction.
"If you encounter someone who doesn't listen, you have to spank them hard."
Chen Qingwan also came over; she had personally witnessed Tu Rong's rampage on the battlefield.
Like a god of war, such a person is comparable to a thousand troops.
And Lu Yan actually has a subordinate who is even more powerful than Tu Rong, Night Owl.
If we can get help from one of them, the future of the Datong Dynasty is promising.
Lu Yan looked at Tu Rong, who was beaten like a dead dog, and said in a calm tone:
"Have you vented enough?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Tu Rong shuddered.
He struggled to his feet and knelt on the ground.
"My lord, I've vented enough!"
"That's fine, I don't need bloodthirsty soldiers."
"Go back and recover from your injuries. I need you to fight for me."
Lu Yan's tone was calm, but it filled Tu Rong with immense gratitude.
"Thank you for your concern, sir!"
Tu Rong kowtowed and said.
Upon seeing this scene, Chen Qingwan said:
"Under Lord Lu's rule, there is truly an abundance of talented people."
"Not at all, they're just roughnecks, nothing like Miss Chen's shrewdness and competence."
Lu Yan waved his hand, but his eyes were looking at Chen Qingwan meaningfully.
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the distance, breaking the eerie tranquility of the camp.
A soldier stumbled and crawled over, his face contorted with terror, shouting:
"Report...Reporting to Your Excellency! Something terrible has happened! Princess Mingyue...Princess Mingyue, she..."
Lu Yan's previously nonchalant expression vanished instantly, his eyes sharp as a knife.
"What's wrong with Princess Mingyue? Why are you stammering like that? Are you looking for death?!"
The soldier trembled with fear and stammered:
"Princess Mingyue...she...she's been kidnapped by a group of men in black!"
"What?!"
Lu Yan suddenly stood up, kicked over the wooden stool next to him, and his face turned ashen.
Damn it, someone actually took advantage of the chaos to kidnap Princess Mingyue!
Although this little girl is willful and capricious, she is still a princess of the Northern Xiang Kingdom.
If something really happens, wouldn't that old fellow from Beixiang Kingdom immediately send troops to attack Shannan Prefecture?
Then another bloodbath will break out, and my carefree days will be ruined.
Chen Qingwan was also shocked. Princess Mingyue had been kidnapped, which was no small matter.
She observed Lu Yan's reaction discreetly, wanting to see how this man would handle the matter.
Lu Yan paced back and forth a few times, his brows furrowed.
He wasn't worried about Princess Mingyue's safety; that little girl was too clever for her own good.
It's estimated that those men in black might not be able to do anything to her.
What he was worried about was the reaction of the King of Beixiang, that old fellow was no pushover.
If they use this as an excuse to cause trouble, Shannan Prefecture will be in real trouble.
"Night Owl!"
Lu Yan shouted sternly.
Night Owl emerged from the crowd and knelt on one knee.
"What are your orders, sir?"
"Take men and pursue her immediately! Bring Princess Mingyue back safely!"
Lu Yan's tone was icy and left no room for argument.
"yes!"
Night Owl accepted the order and left, his figure quickly disappearing into the night.
Lu Yan rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
He secretly pondered who was responsible for Princess Mingyue's abduction.
Is it a conspiracy by the Northern Xiang Kingdom, or is it someone else?
One mess after another, can't I just give myself a few days of peace and quiet?
He glanced sideways at Chen Qingwan and said with a half-smile:
“Miss Chen, why don’t you go back and rest first? I will send someone to inform you when things are settled.”
Chen Qingwan smiled slightly.
"Lord Lu is very busy, so I won't disturb you any longer."
"However, Princess Mingyue's abduction is a matter of great importance. I wonder if Lord Lu has any solutions?"
Lu Yan laughed heartily.
"Don't worry, Miss Chen. Our Shannan Prefecture has a strong and well-equipped army. A few men in black can't cause any trouble."
"As for Miss Chen, you must be careful, being all alone out there."
Before Lu Yan could finish speaking, Night Owl returned.
The figure reappeared before everyone like a ghost.
Chen Qingwan frowned slightly, a question lingering in her mind:
How could Lu Yan's men be so swift in apprehending the man in black who kidnapped Princess Mingyue so quickly?
"Night Owl, have you caught him?"
Lu Yan's tone was slightly mocking, as if he wasn't particularly worried about Princess Mingyue's safety.
