The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

"Okay. I'll take my men around to the other side first. Give me a few people." Zhu Changji took action immediately.

Half of the people followed voluntarily, and the noise made throughout the process was very small.

Nangong Qi ran to his father excitedly, determined to be the pioneer later.

Inside the city.

Shangguan Haitong was traveling in a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage turned into an empty alley and slowly stopped.

There is a pub not far down the alley.

Huanshuang went over and saw the drunk man at first sight.

His name is Dou Jian, and he is the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard. He has always been suppressed and frustrated.

Huanshuang took the wine pot and bowed with a smile: "Deputy Commander Dou, my daughter invites you. Please follow me."

Dou Jian has a very high alcohol tolerance and cannot get drunk even if he wants to.

He frowned, "Who is your girl? What do you want from me?"

"You will know when you come." Huanshuang put down the wine jug, turned and left.

Dou Jian thought about it and decided to go and find out what was going on.

He paid for the wine and chased after him. He came to an empty alley and saw a carriage quietly parked there.

Huanshuang raised her hand: "Please."

How could Dou Jian be afraid of a woman, so he went over and got on the carriage.

Shangguan Haitong, wearing a veiled hat, nodded slightly: "Haitong greets Deputy Commander Dou."

"You are..." Dou Jian had no impression of them as they had never met before.

Inside the carriage was a long box.

Shangguan Haitong presented it to him: "This is Haitong's gift to you, young master."

Dou Jian took the box curiously and opened it, but he didn't expect there was an arrow inside.

Picking up the arrow and examining it carefully, he was horrified: "This is..."

"A treasure that can allow you to be promoted to commander. Do you understand what I mean, sir?" Shangguan Haitong said with a faint smile.

Dou Jian put the arrow back, terrified: "Where did you get this thing, young lady? Do you know that if someone outside finds out, you will be beheaded? I wish the commander would lead the troops to destroy the thieves' den. How dare I hide this thing? I advise you to destroy it as soon as possible."

Shangguan Haitong didn't care: "Deputy Commander Dou, don't you want to take another step forward? It must be very uncomfortable to be suppressed by Commander Lu all the time. This is a godsend opportunity. Opportunities cannot be missed. I hope Deputy Commander Dou will think clearly whether he wants to do it or not."

Do you want to do...

Dou Jian couldn't help but put his hand on the box. He wanted to go one step further, but...

Shangguan Haitong stretched out his hand and clenched it into a fist: "A real man should make decisions immediately. Hesitation will only lead to missed opportunities. Commander Lu has disappointed the emperor twice in a row. If you don't take action now, when will you take action? Do you want to be inferior to him forever?"

"Of course I don't want to. But..." Dou Jian was extremely conflicted. Framing someone else was really despicable.

Shangguan Haitong snatched the box back: "It seems that Deputy Commander Dou is not a man who can do big things. I will find someone else to do it. Deputy Commander Dou, please just pretend that you have never been here and have never seen me. I just hope that after the matter is accomplished, you will not regret it. After all, there is no medicine for regret in the world."

"I..." Dou Jian wanted to explain.

Shangguan Haitong said with a cold face, "Please get out of the car, Deputy Commander Dou, and don't waste my time."

Dou Jian looked at the box reluctantly, stood up and opened the curtain. He got out of the carriage, feeling depressed.

Huan Shuang said expressionlessly: "Please."

In an instant, Dou Jian thought a lot. If it continues like this in the future, he might as well give it a try!

He immediately turned around and got into the carriage: "I will do it. Please give me the treasure, young lady."

Shangguan Haitong smiled and handed over the box solemnly: "I look forward to hearing from you."

Dou Jian hugged the box as if he was hugging his progress and future.

He turned around, got out of the car, and left without looking back.

Huan Shuang lifted the curtain and got into the car, a little worried: "Girl, what if he hesitates again?"

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said, "Once Zhu Changji goes to the palace to report the battle situation, he won't be able to be timid."

Huan Shuang seemed to understand, but she was curious and asked, "Will the emperor reuse someone who reported to the higher-ups?"

"Who knows?" Shangguan Haitong lowered his eyes.

Huanshuang pursed her lips, went out and drove away.

royal palace.

Dou Jian hid the things in a food box and carried them into the palace with trepidation.

Just put the things in the commander's room, and then wait for the right time to expose it to the emperor...

Seeing that there was no one around, he went into Lu Xiao's room, closed the door, and carefully took out the things.

He chose and chose, and finally decided to hide it in a large vase. The vase was tall enough, just right.

Dou Jian finished his work and packed up to go out. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the owner of the room as soon as he left.

Lu Xiao looked back and asked: "What are you doing in my room?"

Dou Jian's heart was pounding, but he didn't show it on his face.

He picked up the food box and said, "I made some food at home and wanted to give it to you, Commander. I thought you were in the house, but there was no one there. Commander, take a look, these are all your favorite foods. It's a token of my love, please don't despise it."

Dou Jian took the initiative to open the food box.

When Lu Xiao saw the food and wine inside, his suspicion dropped a lot: "You're welcome. Give it to me."

"Okay. Commander, you like it. I'll bring it next time." Dou Jian said with a flattering smile.

Lu Xiao came into the house carrying a lunch box: "No need to be so troublesome. I'll go to your house when I'm free. It's just a meal anyway."

"Yes, yes, yes." Dou Jian looked at the vase nervously, afraid of being discovered.

After serving the food and wine to the table, Lu Xiao turned around and asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go first." Dou Jian left with a dry laugh, but he didn't dare to go far.

He was in a state of panic. What if he was discovered? Would he be exposed?

Outside the city. Village.

Zhu Changji quickly took his position. The appointed time had come, and General Nangong immediately launched his attack.

The large group of people and horses rushed and quickly approached the village. Zhu Changji did the same.

The two sides, one at the head of the village and the other at the tail, advanced forward in a fan-shaped pattern, killing anyone they saw.

These people were not defenseless. After they realized what was happening, they fought back with knives.

As they fought, they shouted, "Hold on! Commander Lu will come to rescue us!"

Nangong Qi was not afraid at all in his first real fight with real swords and guns. Instead, he was very excited and became more and more courageous as he fought.

Blood splattered on his face, witnessing the rise of a young general.

Zhu Changji commanded from his horse: "Stop the opening and don't let them escape."

People fell one by one, becoming corpses, and blood flowed on the ground, staining the land red.

General Nangong sat high on his horse, watching the bandits' stubborn resistance with cold eyes.

Commander Lu? Things are more interesting than I thought.

"We are Commander Lu's people in life and Commander Lu's ghosts in death! Kill him!"

These bandits fought hastily and were ultimately no match for the soldiers who were well prepared.

The knife hit the armor and posed no threat at all.

The encirclement continued to tighten and the number of thieves gradually decreased.

Until only a few people were left, they were covered in blood and stared at the enemy with their backs to each other.

Zhu Changji rode closer on horseback and commanded from a high position: "Give up resistance! Otherwise..."

"We only recognize Commander Lu, no one else can do that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the remaining people all committed suicide.

The incident happened suddenly, and no one expected it. General Nangong glanced at the commander meaningfully, and there was no evidence.

Zhu Changji Lema ordered: "Search to see if there are any survivors. Gather the bodies and burn them."

"Yes." The soldiers took immediate action.

Nangong Qi was so angry that he looked everywhere for any fish that had escaped the net. Unfortunately, he didn't find a single hair.
