Lu Chun and Lu Xia were both good at martial arts, and they slaughtered the remaining men in black in a short time. Lu Qiu and Lu Dong stepped forward, and the four of them quickly dealt with the bodies of the men in black.
Situ Yi walked to the front of the carriage.
"I don't know which sister is in the carriage. I am Situ Yi from Prince Jing's Mansion."
Situ Yi had actually just seen Situ Yi from the carriage curtains and had recognized Situ Yi, and said.
"Brother Yi, I'm Yao'er. I'll be down right away."
When Situ Yi heard it was Situ Yao, he was also surprised. Who had the guts to assassinate the legitimate daughter of Prince Zhong's mansion? You have to know that Situ Yi is not an ordinary princess. This is a princess with a title and a fiefdom. Yes, their generation has few daughters. Besides the two daughters born to the emperor, there are only two daughters born to His Royal Highness Prince Zhong. Among them, Situ Yao is a legitimate daughter, and the emperor is very fond of her. When she was very young, he bestowed her with the title of Princess Yuyang and even made Yuyang County in Luzhou Prefecture in Jiangnan her fiefdom.
This is also the only princess from the royal family who was granted a title and fiefdom, but now someone wants to assassinate her. It seems that I have to inform my uncle the emperor about this.
When Situ Yao got off the carriage, she saw Situ Yi standing beside her carriage in a daze.
Situ Yao waved her hand in front of him, and Situ Yi came back to his senses. Situ Yao chuckled and said coquettishly.
"Brother Yi, what are you doing? I asked you to wait for me to get off the carriage, but you are still daydreaming for just a moment?"
Situ Yi smiled awkwardly and explained.
"Sister Yao, please don't blame me. I was just wondering who dared to assassinate you. You know, there aren't many princesses in the entire royal family!"
After hearing what Situ Yi said, Situ Yao's pretty face, which had just been smiling like a flower, suddenly fell and she said bitterly.
"Who else could it be but my good sister!"
Situ Yi asked with a frown.
"You mean your sister, the eldest princess?"
Then Situ Yi asked again.
"Why would she want to kill you? You didn't provoke her. Besides, she's already married. You two don't have much in common, right?"
In fact, Situ Yao didn't know the problem about Situ Yi, but she had experienced these assassinations many times, but she had never been able to find out who was responsible. Even His Royal Highness Prince Zhong investigated, but unfortunately he found nothing. Now, after thinking about it, the only possibility was the eldest princess, but there was no evidence.
Seeing the brother and sister talking, Lu Zifeng did not go forward to speak, but stood aside and watched Zhijian and Lu Chun fighting. Zhijian was Situ Yi's servant, and his martial arts were also very good, but he preferred to use a sword, while Lu Chun preferred to use a knife. Therefore, Zhijian's martial arts were relatively light, while Lu Chun's martial arts focused on strength. After a comparison between the two, Zhijian was still at a disadvantage.
There was no way. Lu Zifeng had strength-based abilities, so the martial arts he practiced were generally strength-based, so the sword techniques he taught Lu Chun and others were all strength-based.
The two siblings talked for a while before they remembered Lu Zifeng. Situ Yi then brought Situ Yao to Lu Zifeng.
"Brother Feng, this is my uncle Prince Zhong's sister, Situ Yao. You don't know her yet, do you?"
Lu Zifeng bowed to Situ Yao.
"Meet Princess Yuyang."
Situ Yao blushed as she looked at Lu Zifeng. She glanced at Lu Zifeng with her almond-shaped eyes and quickly lowered her head.
"Prince Dingguo, please don't be so polite. We are of similar age, so there is no need to be so polite. Besides, I should be the one to thank Prince Lu for saving me today."
Lu Zifeng wanted to say a few more polite words, but Situ Yi on the side spoke up.
"Alas, we are all friends, there is no need to be so polite. Let's not stay here any longer. The smell of blood is everywhere. Let's hurry back to the city!"
After Situ Yi said this, Lu Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief. He was really not very good at dealing with girls, so he also said it.
"Well, we should hurry back to the city. We don't know if those people will come again."
Although Situ Yi was quite courageous, no one wanted to experience such an assassination again, so he stopped hesitating and said.
"That's right, let's go back to the city!"
Then everyone rode their horses or took carriages and headed towards the capital.
In just a quarter of an hour, the group arrived at the east gate of the capital.
The group entered the capital smoothly. After saying goodbye to Situ Yi and his sister, Lu Zifeng went straight back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
The reason why I didn't go back to the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion first was because although I didn't need to go to the palace to report to the emperor for this mission, I still needed to tell my uncle about it.
Old Madam Kang was sitting in the garden to enjoy the cool air. She heard the little maid downstairs say that the prince had returned. The old lady was so happy that she quickly gave orders.
"Madam Cheng, go to the kitchen and prepare some food. Have them cook more of Feng'er's favorites. Also, go to the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion and tell them to call the whole family back for dinner. Feng'er has been away for over a month, and now that he's back, the whole family should get together."
Nanny Cheng looked at the old lady's happy expression, smiled and said.
"I understand, old lady. Don't worry, I will definitely invite the Marquis and his family."
It is shown here that Lu Zifeng went to the study in the front yard to meet Lu Minghan.
"Meet uncle."
Lu Minghan then raised his head and glanced at Lu Zifeng. Seeing that he seemed to have lost weight, he frowned and said.
"What do you mean? I've lost some weight after going out."
When Lu Zifeng heard his uncle say this, he looked down and said.
"Uncle, I guess you haven't seen your nephew for a long time. Actually, your nephew is not thin at all. Don't worry, your nephew will never compromise his size at any time. He will definitely eat and drink well."
Lu Minghan nodded after hearing this. "This time, you handled it very well. Fortunately, you were cautious. The emperor didn't expect that Lieutenant General Xue would eventually rebel."
Lu Zifeng shook his head. "No, uncle, in my opinion, Lieutenant General Xue was never the emperor's man. He just gained the emperor's trust back then. The man I arrested that day was indeed his brother from the same clan. That's when I became suspicious. Because according to his strength, plus his cousin, the two of them could easily take those private soldiers back to the court. But he insisted that the emperor send someone, which was a bit strange. That's why I suspected him and took advantage of his trick to deal with them."
Lu Minghan looked at Lu Zifeng with relief. "The Emperor said that after you return this time, you should rest for a few days and then report to General Lan! However, your position is very flexible. This means that the Emperor can ask you to help whenever he needs you."
