After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 537: Taking it out on others

Upon hearing the word "I," Lin Rusi immediately looked towards the back of the line and, finding no trace of the thin figure, furrowed her brow.

"He was unwilling to leave, saying that a disabled person would hinder our progress, so he left a few people there to take care of him."

"That's good. I wonder what brought you back so suddenly?"

The other person paused slightly, then looked up and stared at the two of them for a long time before finally managing a smile.

"I want to get rid of that bastard who turned my second son into this."

"So you want Fan Zhe? But you should know that this matter is not that simple."

Upon hearing this question, Mr. Fan twitched the corner of his mouth, and before he could say anything more, Li Jingyang interrupted him first.

Just when the other person thought he was about to be rejected, he suddenly let out a sigh.

"I can give you people, but there's one thing you must know."

"Please tell me directly, and I will definitely comply."

Seeing that Master Fan was so obedient, Li Jingyang didn't say much, only instructing people to be careful so that no one could escape.

He hadn't expected it to be so simple, so naturally he wouldn't refuse. He nodded repeatedly to the two of them and turned to look in the direction of the prison.

But just as the other person was about to walk forward, Lin Rusi suddenly spoke up again.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to go back for some time. I need you to do some things here."

"It's a bit troublesome, but it should be solvable."

Master Fan realized this and understood that they were trying to find out who else was behind that person. He frowned slightly and looked in the direction of a city gate.

If that's the case, it might take some time before I can go back.

"Don't worry, even if we could go back now, we wouldn't see him, since he still has some things to do."

"what?!"

Master Fan was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand what was going on, and couldn't help but defend the word "muddled".

The distressed voice kept repeating, which made Lin Rusi sigh again.

"Don't worry, the people around him should notice something, and we'll also have someone follow him. You just need to focus on your own work."

"Is it my own business? I just don't know how long it will take."

Master Fan wanted to say something else, but then he heard the two people standing there.

"Can this really be done?"

"That's certainly possible, but please speed things up a bit, otherwise the two of you won't be able to meet, which will affect the other person's health."

After saying these words, Lin Rusi placed her hand on Li Jingyang's arm, which was hanging down to his side.

Feeling the other person's touch, he naturally took the hand gently. Just as he was about to make another move, he heard Master Fan's words.

"I understand. I will deal with it today. However, I would like to obtain a promise from Madam."

"A promise, is it?"

Lin Rusi withdrew her drooping hand and a smile curved her lips.

"Okay, I agree to this. I will definitely protect both of you."

Upon hearing this voice, Master Fan finally smiled and turned to leave.

Once the figure disappeared, Lu Xiaoke ignored it and walked straight in another direction.

Li Jingyang didn't understand what this meant, and rushed forward, but was stopped by another voice before he could speak.

"Your Highness, this matter is not simple. Perhaps we should discuss it again?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang hesitated for a moment, when he heard someone on the other side calling Lin Rusi over.

Knowing that the area hadn't been completely cleared yet, he was worried that Lin Rusi might be in danger, so he left her behind and went over.

"Madam, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you..."

"You guys go first, he just wants to talk about everyday things."

After hesitating for a moment, the group finally turned their attention to Lin Rusi.

"It's nothing really, I just wanted to invite you to have something to eat."

"Would you like something to eat? No, thank you. We haven't eaten together in a long time, so we won't disturb you."

After all, this place hasn't fully recovered yet. If we just eat food from other places, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long.

Having finally managed to get out, Lin Rusi tried to leave again, but was grabbed once more.

"Didn't we just say we wanted to eat? Are we not going to now?"

"I have other things to do, and I don't have time to eat right now."

Lin Rusi threw down those words and was about to walk forward again when she felt her arm being grabbed.

She casually pushed him away, and before she could say anything more, she heard even more aggrieved words.

"What do you want in return for your forgiveness, or for your willingness to let me finish what I have to say?"

"I don't think there's any misunderstanding between us."

After uttering those words, Lin Rusi finally pushed the hand away and quickly walked forward.

Watching the figure disappear into the distance made Li Jingyang's face even more grim, and he finally let out a sigh after a long while.

This is really troublesome; I don't know how to explain it clearly to people.

Just as Li Jingyang was getting even angrier, a voice entered his ears again.

"Master, what should we do?"

"What should we do? We must deal with these soldiers before they make a move."

How is it handled?

Before the guards could react, Li Jingyang had already headed towards the military camp.

The group stood there, clearly wanting to say something more, when they heard a cold laugh.

"What are you doing? Do you one or two really think everything is resolved?"

"Of course not, we just finished training and are about to rest for a while, it's not like what you said."

Li Jingyang knew exactly what those words meant, and after a moment's hesitation, he smiled.

"Since they've all been trained, why don't they have a match with my personal guards?"

"This……"

Before he could finish speaking, the guard grabbed one of them and led him forward.

The competition began immediately.

Unfortunately, the group was beaten to the ground in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"You guys are really pathetic."

"Not letting you play is the best choice."

Li Jingyang's expression became even more terrifying, and he made a gesture towards the person with his backhand.

Upon learning of this, the two guards immediately stepped forward and began training the other soldiers in the same manner.

Having never been trained like this before, the already lazy group was trained to the point that they could no longer speak, and could only use their spears to support their bodies and barely stand in place.

"Isn't this too cruel? Do we even have a chance to leave alive?"

"Yes, it should be okay."

The next moment, the man fell to the ground and trembled for a long time before he was able to stand up.

When their eyes met, the person clearly wanted to argue, and then they heard another thud as they hit the ground.

Everyone fell silent, staring at Li Jingyang standing there.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"Don't worry, I'm afraid the Crown Prince won't give us that opportunity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jingyang's voice reached everyone's ears.
