Chapter Ninety: A Tooth for a Tooth

  After a while, Wen Qing said calmly: "Ah Yue, what did you just say? Why did they leave?"

  Lu Xuan replied: "He asked me about the mountain bandits' attack last night. I said a few words, and then for some reason, that general stood up and ordered us to leave immediately."

  Lü Yuande replied, and the four of them made a loud humming noise. The young men and women discussed it for a while, but didn't come to any conclusion. Then Wang Shang asked: "Yuande, you said they were fine, so why did they leave?"

  Lü Yu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he's thought of something." At this point, Lü Yu raised his head and seriously said, "I think it's better if everyone is on their guard tonight."

  At this time, Lu Yue was quite prestigious among the guards. As soon as she spoke up, Cheng Jiaolong immediately stood up and started arranging night watches and setting traps to sound the alarm.

  The Chen family and others had been watching with cold eyes, they obviously never thought that Lu Yue would have such a say. For a moment, the smiles of Chen Shu and others froze.

  It was already deep into the night, and the guards were busy setting up, while the young men and women had all returned to their respective tents.

  Chen Yan returned to her own tent, biting her lip as she stared at the reflection of herself on the tent. After a moment's thought, she gritted her teeth and said: "Go and call Ah Chang in."

  The maid stepped forward and whispered: "Miss, it's so late, if someone sees..."

  Before she finished speaking, Chen Yan had already angrily said: "You won't be on guard a bit and let people discover it?"

  "Yes, yes."

  In a short while, the guard who had been following Chen Yan's side and taking good care of her appeared outside the tent.

  Chen Yan hastily called him over. Afraid that people outside the tent would see his shadow, she also blew out the candle flame.

  Achang walked in and respectfully called out: "Young lady, are you calling me?" Under the moonlight. Chen Yan's beautiful face was hazy. After extinguishing the candle, the light inside the tent was very dim, no need to worry about being noticed, Achang simply stared at her foolishly, his eyes not blinking.

  Chen Yan bit her lip, and after sniffling back tears, she said in a low voice: "A Chang, I can't take it anymore." As she spoke, she looked up at A Chang and said word by word: "I want her dead! I want her to die right now!"

  She said she was Lu Xun.

  Achang fell silent for a moment, then hesitated: "But Si Lang said..."

  "Don't mind him! He's just a coward!" Chen Yan shouted. However, she immediately restrained her voice. Twisting her waist to walk in front of Ah Meng, she stretched out her pale jade hand and gently stroked Ah Meng's collar, softly and plaintively saying: "Ah Chang, won't you even help me?"

  She leaned in so close that the fragrance of her breath wafted directly onto Ah Chang's face and neck. At such a close distance, he was enveloped by the subtle scent of his own cousin's body. As he listened to her soft voice, Ah Chang couldn't help but feel that even if he were to lose his life for her sake, it wouldn't be a big deal.

  He cleared his throat and asked in a hoarse voice: "What does the young lady want me to do?"

  He agreed.

  Chen Yan's tearful eyes flashed a hint of a smile. She left A Chang and walked a few steps before saying, "Tonight, send someone to pretend to be a thief and kidnap her, how about that?"

  After a pause, Chen Yan said: "I found that her tent is pitched relatively far away. When she falls asleep, you can use the anesthetic to knock her out. By the way, do you still have that anesthetic? If not, I also have some left here." She had always liked this kind of thing, so she was always prepared.

  Achang thought for a moment and felt that it was highly feasible, nodding his head: "I'll listen to you."

  Chen Yan smiled complacently and said, "This cheap person doesn't even have a maid or servant. It's easy to deal with her. The key is that we can't let everyone know it was your doing. That's right, you think of a way to leave some clues. Didn't she offend those mountain bandits last night? Just make everyone suspect it was the mountain bandits who did it."

  Achang thought for a moment and said, "This is easy."

  "Then you'd better get ready."

  "Yes."

  Watching Ah Chang leave, Chen Yan sat down elegantly. She slowly clenched her fists, and the long fingernails pierced her palm painfully. With resentment, she whispered: "You ruined my chance to marry that man, but I've heard he's a ruthless person who kills people like flies... But you shouldn't have also seduced General Zuo!"

  At the same time.

  Five thousand steps away from the mountain pass, a knight came galloping on horseback. Before long, the knight arrived in front of a luxurious carriage.

  In this mountain pass, the mountain road is narrow and inconvenient to travel, but the horse-drawn carriage that can stop here is luxurious and particular. It's clear that its owner is someone who doesn't forget to enjoy himself no matter where he goes.

  The knight came out of the carriage, cupped his fists and said: "Master, I've found that fellow."

  A magnetic and gentle voice came over leisurely, "Oh? Speak."

  "Yes. After nightfall, they joined forces with that group of young people heading to Chengdu and the two groups camped together."

  The carriage fell silent for a while, and after a long time, that low and magnetic voice sighed: "That little guy is also among the young people?"

  "Yes. Last night, she also used a fire attack strategy and drove away forty or fifty mountain bandits."

  "This is the second time."

  These words were incomprehensible, and the knights outside clearly did not understand them.

  A sigh sounded in the midst of the magnetic voice slowly saying: "Alright, let everyone withdraw their troops."

  "But, milord?"

  The sound of the magnet sank with a sigh, and he said gently: "She's also among those people, you say that Zuo didn't run left or right, how did she end up in their midst? This sword has no eyes, what can I do? Alright, let's retreat."

  "Yes."

  The knight had just replied when another knight hastily came, kneeling on one knee and reporting seriously: "My lord, that fellow has left, they have set up camp a thousand steps away from the crowd of young people."

  As soon as the words came out, a low laugh was heard from the carriage, and in the gentle laughter, that magnetic voice said: "Is it the little guy's idea? Indeed not bad."

  He smiled slowly: "Withdraw the troops, everyone will rest well tonight, and I'll go to meet them myself." He didn't say whether it was Lu Yue or that young general. Of course, no one dared to ask. At this point, everyone responded with a sound. Before long, the mountain pass became bustling with activity.

  The night is getting deeper and deeper.

  Luoyan slept very soundly this time.

  When she woke up again, the moon had already moved westward. It was estimated that it would be dawn in a little while.

  The sounds of the four people below grew quieter and quieter, replaced by the sound of noses breathing and snoring, Lu Xuan stood up.

  Silently and quietly beside the forest, Lu Xuan turned back to look at those piles of fire that had been burning all night and were still emitting sparks, feeling his heart racing with anxiety.

  It's really strange. I was sleeping soundly last night, but how did my heart suddenly start racing so fast after waking up? She had set traps outside her own tent, so there's no need to worry about someone coming over, yet why am I still feeling uneasy?

  After a moment's thought, Lu Xuan saw the moon gradually being blocked by dark clouds, and there was no sound around him. He couldn't help but straighten his back and walk out quietly for a few steps.

  Just then, a dark shadow crept towards her tent.

  At this time, the moonlight was gone, and there was only the light of the starry fire pits in the sky, so Lu Xing stared at her own account, using a lot of effort to see the black shadow approaching her camp.

  That black figure was extremely agile, and he saw him getting closer and closer, pressing in closer and closer.

  Ten steps. Nine steps. Eight steps...... Four steps, three steps. Two steps, one step, center!

  When Lu Ying finished reciting the last word, the black shadow that had been sneaking up to her tent suddenly stepped on something. A whirring sound came through the air, and an object bounced heavily, hitting the black shadow with a loud "thud"!

  This blow was indeed severe. What surprised Lu Xuan was that the black shadow actually bit its teeth and didn't make a sound!

  He didn't let out a blood-curdling scream, so he didn't alarm anyone else. The dark shape merely curled up on the ground for a moment before struggling to its feet and leaving Luoyin's tent, retreating step by step.

  Before falling asleep, Cheng Jia Dalang and others set traps, she was watching, so the layout here is clear. And her own tent outside that trap, it's actually very simple, just a common hunting method used in rural areas to catch wild rabbits, using some bamboo and rope can be set up. After quietly setting it up, she told Cheng Jia Dalang not to say anything, and sure enough, they caught a big rabbit.

  That black shadow ran stumblingly, Lu Xuan came to the outside of his account, searched for a while on the ground, and touched something that the black shadow had dropped earlier, then quietly followed up.

  Before long, the black shadow arrived at one of Chen's tents. In the darkness, a soft and gentle female voice came over, "What's wrong?"

  "There is a trap. I was just approaching and got hurt." He didn't know if there were any other traps, so he didn't dare to stir up trouble and gave up.

  "That useless thing." After scolding, the woman's tone suddenly changed and she said softly, "Don't be angry, come, let me bandage you up."

  Just then, the moon in the sky gradually stretched out from the clouds.

  Lu Xuan lowered his head and took a glance at the thing in his hand, which was a bamboo tube with a blowhole on top. Lu Xuan leaned in slightly to take a sniff, and immediately felt dizzy.

  It was actually Musk.

  Lu Yu's lips curled up slightly.

  Listening to the sound of two people's breathing in the tent, Lu Xuan stepped out a few steps under the moonlight.

  She was a rural-born person, after all, and her hands were quick. Before long, Lu Yue approached the tent. At such close range to two people who wanted to harm herself, Lu Yue wasn't flustered at all. Although she had come to someone else's tent, there was a man and a woman inside, with the man injured, and as long as she shouted loudly, these two would be speechless.

  However, this is a last resort. What she did during the day didn't offend the entire Chen family yet. If she really calls out now, it would be an irreconcilable hatred.

  Slowly, Lu Xuan came to the outside of the tent. She bent down and gently opened the bamboo slip, then put it in from the corner and placed it inside the camp.

  Then, Lu Xuan slowly walked away.

  Lu Xuan silently counted for a while before picking up something from the ground and throwing it in another direction of the tent.

  A faint rustling sound was heard, and someone seemed to be whispering softly in their sleep, but the tent in front of him remained perfectly still.

  It seems that the fragrance has taken effect.

  Lu Xuan walked in.

  In the tent, two blurry figures of a man and a woman were lying down separately. Lu Xuan walked to the side of the woman, lifted her face up to take a look, and then silently sneered.

  Then she bent down and took off her clothes.

  Lu Xuan dragged them together, stark naked, and turned to leave.

  Silently and quietly returned to his own camp. About two quarters of an hour later, Lu Xuan suddenly picked up a stone and slammed it onto a trap set by Cheng Jia Laoye in front.

  This trap is just a warning. A stone hits, and a dull drum sound comes. After a loud "boom", another sharp sound comes.

  Suddenly, a shout came, accompanied by the shout, there were also intermittent screams, "Who is it? There are thieves - there are thieves -" In the midst of the screams, flames burst out in all directions! The big tents, one after another, lit up with lanterns.

  Looking for pink tickets. Not a single ticket for either of the two shows, it's really frustrating. RQ
