The man who had been released by Linley hurriedly rushed in. The guards at the gate didn't stop him, because they had all seen this man before and knew him.
He was a centurion in the army and had been to the capital before. They had a deep impression of him.
"You … aren't you Liu Wei?"
Just as Liu Wei rushed into the mansion, Li Yunzhu walked over from afar. Li Yunzhu was stunned when she saw Liu Wei.
A centurion should be training in the army at this time. Furthermore, a centurion wasn't allowed to leave the barracks without orders from his superiors. Furthermore, he was in her home. If someone reported him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Princess … Princess!"
How could he not recognize Li Yunzhu? Looking at Li Yunzhu, Liu Wei felt as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He stepped forward and knelt in front of Li Yunzhu. "Princess, please bring this subordinate to see His Highness."
"Time is of the essence. If we don't hurry, this subordinate is afraid that the commander's life will be in danger!"
"What … what danger? What commander? What are you trying to say?" Li Yunzhu frowned.
She had seen Liu Wei's anxious look, but the things he said were all jumbled up and out of nowhere. He even said that he wanted to see her Imperial Father.
"Princess, Commander Fan Jun, Commander Fan Jun brought more than thirty people with him today. He gave each of them a portrait and ordered us to search for him in the capital."
"Just earlier, this subordinate found that person. However, who would've thought … who would've thought that that person was extremely powerful. Merely his aura caused this subordinate to feel an unforgettable feeling. That dense killing intent, that despair-inducing coldness, this subordinate saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. As for that young man, he was like a king standing above the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood."
"No, that's not right. He's not a king. He's a devil. A … terrifying devil."
Although Li Yunzhu was still confused by Liu Wei's words, she understood the crux of the matter. Young man, portrait, Fan Jun.
"Could it be …"
Li Yunzhu suddenly thought of something. She looked at Liu Wei and asked, "Give me the portrait Fan Jun gave you. Hurry …"
"Yes!"
Liu Wei didn't refuse. He took out the portrait and handed it to Li Yunzhu.
Li Yunzhu didn't say anything. She picked up the portrait and looked at it. When she saw the face of the man in the portrait, Li Yunzhu was dumbfounded.
"As expected, this Fan Jun doesn't listen to father's orders."
The portrait was naturally Lin Ray. As for the portrait of an old fan, Li Yunzhu naturally understood the original meaning behind it.
However, what made her angry was not that he had dealt with the young man, but because Li Zhiping had clearly stated time and time again that he was not to do anything improper to the young man. How long had it been since then, he had completely forgotten about it and even sent out a centurion from the army? How could she tolerate this?
"What's going on? Why is the princess so angry? And why did she say that we were acting on our own?"
Liu Wei's vision blurred. He didn't understand anything, but he could clearly feel Li Yunzhu's intention.
"Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma … Ma …
The feeling of impending death suddenly arose. He was afraid. He was afraid that the young man would kill him.
He didn't want to die yet. There were old and young at home. How could he say that his family depended on his salary? Thus, he couldn't lose his reputation here.
"Speak. And what?" Li Yunzhu's interest was piqued.
Liu Wei raised his head and looked at Li Yunzhu. Gritting his teeth, he closed his eyes and continued, "The young man said that if Your Highness is too slow, those people will die. And they will die a painful death. Not a single one will be left alive."
"What?"
Li Yunzhu was furious. Although she was furious that Fan Jun didn't listen to military orders, he was still the one who watched her grow up. She couldn't let anything happen to him.
"Get up. I'll go look for father now!" Without waiting for Liu Wei's response, she turned and ran towards the depths of the royal capital. After all, she grew up in the army camp.
… … …
In Li Zhiping's room, Li Zhiping was sitting in a chair with a gloomy expression. He had just received a report that Fan Jun had brought over thirty centurions out of the army camp. His goal was unknown.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, striking Li Zhiping's heart. He had never imagined that his own commander would disobey military orders and ignore military rules to mobilize centurions without permission.
This crime could be considered small, but it was also a crime as great as the heavens. Disobeying military orders was a crime that was forbidden in the army.
"Bang!"
Fan Jun had been following him all this time, so he knew him very well. He really didn't understand what was going on that made him mobilize the army. Didn't he know that this would easily arouse the suspicion of the Emperor? Fan Jun had been following him all this time, so he knew him very well.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Unfortunately, it was too late. As soon as he received the news, he sent scouts to investigate. But who would have thought that the scouts would report that they couldn't find anything?
"Father!"
Li Yunzhu's voice rang out in the silent room. Li Zhiping's gloomy expression softened when he heard her call.
"Zhu 'er, what is it?" Looking at her daughter's panting appearance, she stood up and brought a cup of tea to her.
"Slow down. It won't be too late to talk after you drink some tea."
Li Yunzhu: "…"
Seeing that his father was not in a hurry and did not get angry, Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Royal Father, Uncle Fan Jun is leading more than thirty centurions in the city. They are surrounding the youth that I saved earlier and allowed to leave with Little Blossom."
"What?"
Li Zhiping exclaimed. His hand trembled, and the tea in the teacup spilled onto his hand. His face sank. Thinking of the information he had just brought back, he could confirm the whole story.
After all this time, it turned out that they were looking for the young man. "No, they are surrounding … here."
This word made Li Zhiping feel uneasy. Others might not understand, but he was very clear that the other party was powerful.
"Father, Centurion Liu Wei just came back and said that the young man asked him to bring a message."
"What message?"
Seeing the tense expression on her father's face, Li Yunzhu was taken aback. She didn't think too much about it and continued, "The young man asked you to hurry over. Otherwise, Uncle Fan Jun and the others will be killed, and they will die in agony."
I … f * ck, as expected, this thing still happened!
It was because he was afraid that the young man would go on a killing spree that he ordered his men not to search for the young man and to let nature take its course. However, the matter that he didn't want to see had happened, and it was done by his own subordinates.
"That bastard, he must be tired of living!"
