I was kicked out of the house, and I was reborn and became the emperor

"My Lord, please wait a moment. When the guards come to relieve the guard, I will find a way to hold them back and buy you an incense stick of time."

After Master Lin finished speaking, he handed over another key and said, "Whether we can successfully rescue Mr. Lu depends entirely on your ability. This is all I can do."

Before Master Lin finished his words, he turned and left, leaving Fang Yi and Lu Qingxue hiding in the dark, their eyes fixed on the patrolling sentry at the door of an abandoned mansion not far away.

Soon, the sentry left his post and his replacement was late, apparently being cleverly tripped by Master Lin. Fang Yi knew that time was running out, so he quickly took Lu Qingxue's hand and broke into the desolate old house. Just as he was about to use the key to open the copper lock, he was surprised to find that the lock was not locked...

Lu Qingxue couldn't wait to push open the mottled door, only to see that the house was empty and no one was there. She was immediately filled with fear, "My Lord, what is going on? Where are my family members?"

However, Fang Yi's face remained calm. He turned his head and saw dozens of soldiers illuminated by torches quietly and silently surrounding the old house!

What was even more surprising was that Lu Dongxun and Master Lin were standing in front of the gate of the mansion!

"It's unbelievable that I was tricked by you guys!" Fang Yi sneered with sarcasm.

Lu Dongxun walked in with a torch in his hand, approached Fang Yi, and sighed, "My Lord, why are you so stubborn? Isn't it a good thing for us to jointly govern this paradise on earth in Jiuyuan County?"

"A paradise on earth? I think it's more like hell on earth! Could it be that Magistrate Lu is trying to kill people to silence them?" Fang Yi's voice was low and every word was weighty.

"How dare I do anything bad to My Lord Marquis? You are the living Bodhisattva of Jiuyuan County. I have no choice but to obey your orders respectfully." Lu Dongxun raised a sly smile and bowed.

Fang Yi snorted coldly, "How hypocritical! If that's the case, then make way for me. I want to go back home!"

"Your Majesty, we respectfully send you off. However, Lu Qingxue must stay. I would like to know why she wants to sow discord between us?" Lu Dongxun glared at Lu Qingxue and asked harshly.

"I didn't instigate anyone. What I said to the Marquis was from the bottom of my heart!" Lu Qingxue grabbed Fang Yi's sleeve, her voice trembling but firm.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense. Come here, capture that woman for me!" Lu Dongxun waved his hand, and several guards rushed forward to capture Lu Qingxue.

Fang Yi immediately stood in front of Lu Qingxue and shouted angrily: "What do you want to do?"

"How dare this humble official be rude to the Marquis? As for Lu Qingxue...as her brother-in-law, I have the right to bring her back to the mansion and discipline her strictly."

"This is absolutely unacceptable! Lu Qingxue is already my concubine. To hurt her is to be my enemy and it is a disrespect to the royal dignity!"

"Hmph, there is no matchmaker and no formal ceremony. Lu Qingxue is just a maidservant beside the Marquis. Marquis, please don't make things difficult for me." Lu Dongxun waved his hand, signaling the guards to continue.

"My Lord..." Lu Qingxue tugged at Fang Yi's sleeve pitifully. Fang Yi knew very well that once Lu Qingxue fell into the hands of the enemy, the consequences would be disastrous.

Seeing the guards approaching, Fang Yi drew the Youlong Sword from his waist and used his life-saving skill - Yin and Yang Reversal, forcing back the guards on both sides with one move and cutting their solid scales at the same time.

The guards staggered back. Fang Yi concentrated his energy on the tip of his sword and swung it. The stone table in front of him broke into two pieces!

"Anyone who dares to come in will end up at the same table!"

Fang Yiqiang remained calm, for he knew that if he showed any sign of weakness, Lu Dongxun would give orders again.

Fortunately, the shocking power of this sword was enough to scare everyone. Lu Dongxun and Master Lin, who did not know martial arts, were also shocked and at a loss.

Fang Yi tightly grasped the Youlong Sword, and the other party was on the verge of a showdown. Obviously, Lu Dongxun was not going to give up easily tonight...

The reason why Lu Dongxun was so arrogant and domineering was that he knew very well that Fang Yi, as a marquis from outside the country, could not leave the country without the emperor's order.

Therefore, he was not afraid of Fang Yi reporting to the court. Moreover, under strict surveillance, no letter from Fang Yi could escape his hands.

However, Lu Dongxun overlooked one point - although Fang Yi was surrounded, it did not mean that people from outsiders could not enter Jiuyuan County.

Zhuge Jingqi was leading a large army and rushing here quickly, but Fang Yi would naturally not be stupid enough to reveal any of this news.

"Lu Dongxun, when I leave the capital, the Royal Guards will accompany me. If I get lost, you can see whether the Royal Guards will investigate you."

As soon as the Jinyiwei was mentioned, Lu Dongxun's calmness instantly collapsed, his face changed suddenly, and then he waved his hand to let the soldiers patrolling on both sides retreat.

"My lord, since Lu Qingxue is already your concubine, her family can be considered royal relatives. If you can promise not to embarrass me in the future, I will release Mr. Lu's family when the time comes." Lu Dongxun said flatteringly with a smile on his face.

Fang Yi did not want to disrupt the overall situation and affect his careful deployment due to momentary impulse.

He thought the time was ripe, so he compromised and said, "Okay, as long as you don't attack Mr. Lu's family, I can give in for the time being."

"Thank you, Lord. But there is one more thing. Master Lin mentioned an imperial edict..."

Fang Yi glared at Master Lin and sneered, "I lied to Master Lin about it. It was just a pardon decree. Your Majesty is so busy with all kinds of affairs. How could he pay attention to Jiuyuan County?"

Lu Dongxun heaved a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good. Lord, please forgive me for my rudeness. Please rest in your house for the time being. I will immediately arrange for patrol soldiers to escort you and Miss Lu back to your house."

"Well, that sounds nice, but it's still house arrest."

"How dare I? I just want to ask My Lord Marquis to take a few days' rest. After the storm has passed, no one dares to stop My Lord Marquis from going anywhere he wants!" Just as Lu Dongxun finished speaking, several patrol soldiers arrived in front of him.

"I can leave on my own!" Fang Yi snorted coldly, and returned to the mansion surrounded by two rows of patrol soldiers.

The mansion has been surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers, and the roof is also covered with sentries. Escaping from here seems to be a luxury.

Entering the bedroom, Xiaorou looked at the two of them with concern, eager to ask about the situation outside.

Fang Yi recounted every scene that had just happened.

"It's really a disaster." Fang Yi smiled bitterly.

"My Lord, you are still in a good mood to laugh. What should we do next?"

"What else can I do? Go to sleep! It's only two hours until dawn. I've been busy all night, so I should rest."

"It's such a mess outside, who can sleep peacefully?" Xiaorou was extremely anxious.

"It's best if you don't sleep, so you can give the bed to me." After Fang Yi finished speaking, he crawled into the warm quilt.

"My Lord, you are becoming more and more confused!"

"What do you know? According to the plan, the reinforcements should be arriving soon. Then, it will be our time to turn the tide. Let Lu Dongxun be proud for a while." Fang Yi turned over and fell into a deep sleep.
