Butler Wan cursed Lord Zhou’s ancestors in his heart, but he smiled apologetically. “Oh my, I wouldn’t dare to say that. Our prince is blessed by the heavens. He’ll definitely be fine.”
“Is that so? I hope so.” Lord Zhou was furious at Butler Wan’s stubborn expression. He flicked his sleeves and stood up.
“Lord Zhou, aren’t you waiting for my lord to return?” Butler Wan asked.
“I’m afraid I won’t be lucky enough to wait for His Highness to return.” He flicked the nonexistent dust off his robe. “Since His Highness is busy, I can only go straight to the military camp.”
At this moment, Eunuch Li also stood up. He glanced at Butler Wan and left.
As soon as they walked out of the reception hall, someone ran out of the back door of the prince’s residence and ran straight to the Shen residence.
Song Jingchen didn’t punish Shangguan Han. After he left, Shangguan Han knew that he had almost made a big mistake on impulse, so he ran to the courtyard to do squats as punishment.
He also brought Youde along to accompany him.
Their injuries looked serious, but they were actually just superficial wounds. They got used to the pain.
“It’s fine if you punish yourself, but why did you bring me along?” Qian Youde said angrily.
Shangguan Han pursed his lips. “Thank you for stopping me just now.”
Qian Youde stood up straight in disbelief. “You’re thanking me, but you still want to harm me? Aren’t you repaying kindness with ingratitude?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a stone hit his knee. The force was neither light nor heavy, and the warning was obvious.
Qian Youde looked aggrievedly at Shen Yijia, who had moved a chair and was sitting under the porch to supervise them. He squatted back down obediently.
Shangguan Han said, “I fought with you just now and realized that your foundation is too weak. You need to train more.”
The corners of Qian Youde’s mouth twitched. Should he thank Shangguan Han for thinking about him?
Shangguan Han suddenly added, “You don’t have to thank me. Let’s call it even.”
He had learned this from his sister-in-law. She often bullied him in the name of doing this for his own good.
Shen Yijia was amused by the two of them bickering.
When the servant of the Prince’s residence saw this scene as soon as he entered, he was stunned for a moment before lowering his head and telling them about Lord Zhou and the others going to the military camp.
Shen Yijia suddenly stood up. “Mo Yuan, let’s go take a look.”
“Hey, I’ll go too.” Qian Youde quickly followed.
Shangguan Han thought to himself, “I want to go too, but Lord Zhou and the others know me. Moreover, I’m still punishing myself.”
The soldiers of Xunyang City were stationed in the inner city. Because it was east of Xunyang City, it was called the Eastern Barracks.
There were two soldiers guarding the entrance of the camp. Shen Yijia and the others approached.
The two of them crossed their spears. One of them shouted coldly, “This is an important place in the military camp. Anyone who trespasses will die!”
Qian Youde shrank back and hid behind Shen Yijia. Shen Yijia glanced at him in disdain.
She coughed dryly and said, “We’re not trespassing. Don’t worry.”
The soldier looked at each other in disbelief.
Shen Yijia originally wanted to mention Song Jingchen’s name, but after thinking about it, she was afraid that it would affect him negatively, so she decided not to.
Without bothering with the soldiers, she turned around and left.
“Are we leaving just like that?” Qian Youde followed in disbelief and asked softly. This was too much for Shen Yijia.
“What else?” Shen Yijia rolled her eyes. She was not an unreasonable person.
Shen Yijia brought them around to the back door of the camp and knocked out the three passing soldiers when no one was paying attention. The three of them put on the armor.
Qian Youde almost believed her nonsense.
The three of them swaggered in through the back door with the identities of the three unlucky bastards.
Just as he was about to ask where Lord Zhou was, a deep voice came from behind.
“Stop right there!”
Shen Yijia turned a deaf ear and continued walking. The person definitely wasn’t calling them.
“The three of you! Did you not hear me?”
Shen Yijia was speechless.
The person walked in front of them and realized that they were all unfamiliar faces. He frowned and asked, “Which battalion are you from?”
