Chapter 297 Why did the second princess start picking people up?

"No conditions. You are a citizen of Da Xia and deserve the protection of Da Xia. We save you to punish evil and bring justice to the people. You don't need to pay any price in exchange." Lu Qi looked serious.

"That's right!" The little follower Lu Li nodded beside him.

"Thank you, princesses." After hearing this, Jin Yulu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them three times.

"Get up quickly, you don't have to do this." Lu Qi quickly pulled her up.

"Come on, come back with us, wash up, and have a good sleep. Then we'll see how we can give you justice."

"Okay." Jin Yulu agreed with a sob.

Lu Qi and Lu Li took her back to the inn and ordered someone to settle Jin Yulu.

Meng Shanchuan widened his eyes in surprise.

Has the Second Princess been infected by the Emperor? Why has she started picking people up too?

They brought back Jin Yulu in secret, and the Shen family was unaware of it.

At this moment, they were still dreaming about killing Lu Yanshi and his group tomorrow night.

"Caoyang City, has there been any reply from Chujiu?" Lu Yanshi asked the leader of the secret guards, Chuyi.

"In reply to Master, the prefect of Caoyang has been executed, and our people have taken up their posts immediately. The troops you requested will arrive the day after tomorrow morning, and the magistrate of Li'an County who sheltered the Shen family will also be dealt with." Chuyi told him all the arrangements.

"Well, good, follow the plan."

Lu Yanshi was very satisfied with this.

So a group of people got ready and waited, waiting for the Shen family to fall into the trap tomorrow night.

…

The next night.

After eating, everyone received the emperor's order and began to pretend to be unconscious on the bed, but in fact they all held long swords in their hands, ready to be on duty at any time.

The guards in the yard fell down on the spot.

The waiter hurriedly gave a secret signal, asking the Shen family to bring people over.

Shen Zhang is dead, and the leader is Shen Tuo, the eldest son of the Shen family.

He looked at the guard lying on the ground with a smug smile.

But he cautiously did not go forward, but ordered someone to bring in cigarettes.

[Wow, they are quite cautious and use smoke! ]

Lu Li, who was nestling in her father's arms, saw this scene through the melon-eating system and suddenly became anxious.

"Father, they are going to use smoke. Let's not pretend to be dizzy. It's useless." She pushed Lu Yanshi hard.

"Don't be afraid, father has made all the arrangements." Lu Yanshi didn't expect to gain the Shen family's trust by pretending to be unconscious.

[Hey, when did Father order people to prepare smoke? ]

Lu Li sat up.

Now she is not sleepy anymore.

"Where did the smoke come from?" Shen Tuo was a little confused.

“Is it ready so soon?”

"No, young master, we just moved the smoke here and are going to blow it towards the room inside," his servant replied dazedly.

"Oh no, young master, it's smoke blowing out of the guest inn." Another servant shouted in surprise.

After he shouted this, his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

"What's going on? Let's go." Shen Tuo was startled and wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

The wind blew the smoke outward, directly making all the Shen family members dizzy.

"Wow, father, you are so awesome. How did you know that the wind would blow in their direction today?" Lu Li looked at Lu Yanshi in disbelief.

"General Meng deduced it." Lu Yanshi smiled slightly.

"General Meng has been on the battlefield for many years. He is good at observing the stars and identifying wind direction. He predicted that the wind would turn to the east today, so my father arranged this wonderful show."

"This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Did you remember this, Xiaojiu?"

Lu Li nodded randomly and secretly complained in her heart.

[I didn't expect General Meng to have this trick. ]

[No wonder my father brought him along.]

[I thought he only knew how to eat. ]

After all, every time the beautiful brother cooked a meal, General Meng was the one who ate the most.

Lu Yanshi was amused by her inner voice and started laughing.

"Let's go. No need to pretend. Let's see who else has not been knocked unconscious and capture them alive."

Lu Yanshi carried her down to the yard.

"Your Majesty, the eldest, second, and third sons of the Shen family are all here. The others are still at the Shen family." Meng Shanchuan counted the number of people and came to report.

"Well, tomorrow morning, Chen Shi will bring troops and directly raid the county government and the Shen family. Don't expose our whereabouts." Lu Yanshi made the arrangements.

He has had enough of Li'an County.

"Your Majesty, can you let me kill these members of the Shen family with my own hands?" Jin Yulu couldn't contain her excitement and anger when she saw her enemies so close.

"Daxia does not encourage the people to abuse lynching." Lu Yanshi replied calmly.

Jin Yulu was stunned, with uncontrollable disappointment on her face.

If she is not allowed to kill her enemies, what is the point of her living? How will she face her dead family members?

"But killing someone to pay for his life is only natural. Four people from your Jin family died, so I will make an exception and allow you to kill four people from the Shen family to pay for their lives. You have already killed the four sons of the Shen family, so who else do you want to kill? It's up to you to decide."

Lu Yanshi's words gave Jin Yulu hope again.

"Your Majesty is wise, thank you very much." She knelt down again excitedly and kowtowed to Lu Yanshi.

"Let's go, it's time to go to bed. If the child doesn't go to bed early, he won't grow tall in the future." When Lu Yanshi looked at the daughter in his arms, his voice became very gentle.

"No, no, I want to grow taller." Lu Li shook her head hurriedly and pretended to fall asleep on the spot.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep in Lu Yanshi's arms.

Lu Yanshi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This kid really would go to sleep whenever he was told to.

Jin Yulu looked at the unconscious members of the Shen family lying on the ground. She had no choice but to take action now.

After all, letting them die like this would be too easy for them.

They should be allowed to experience the despair that their parents, grandparents felt before they died.

"General, can you hand these people over to me?" Jin Yulu looked at Meng Shanchuan.

"Of course." Meng Shanchuan nodded.

The emperor has agreed, so why shouldn't he agree?

"Please give me a hand, General." Jin Yulu pleaded again.

"Okay." Meng Shanchuan helped her tie up the three men separately and took them into the woodshed.

Jin Yulu found some water and splashed it to wake Shen Tuo up.

She remembered clearly that he had deceived her mother, saying that if she handed over the recipe of Golden Wind Jade Dew Wine, he would release her father and grandfather.

It turned out that this person did not keep his word.

"It's you. You're not dead?" Shen Tuo was startled by the cold water and suddenly came to his senses.

The first time he saw Jin Yulu when he woke up, he was so scared that he almost died.

"Is Mr. Shen disappointed that I'm not dead?" Jin Yulu sneered and pressed the dagger against his Adam's apple.

"No, how could that be? I'm just surprised. After all, you are my fourth brother's wife. We are all family. Why should we use swords against each other?" Shen Tuo forced a smile.

"Who is a family with you?" Jin Yulu was completely overwhelmed with emotions when she heard this.

The dagger was raised and slashed his face.

Blood flowed out of the wound, and Shen Tuo's face, which had originally looked acceptable, suddenly became somewhat scary.
