Chapter 190 Sister and brother recognize each other
"Hey, hey, hey, there's hope. Captain Pei is really amazing. That woman has a sword..."
"Oh no! Captain Pei seems to be unable to hold on any longer. He's got his sword..."
"That's how it should be. We can't let that woman..."
"This speed is too fast! Where is the sword? Who has the upper hand..."
"Good, great, the woman we were fighting has switched to a spear..."
"Hey, hey, hey, Captain Pei has also changed..."
"What kind of moves did this woman use? She's so clumsy with the gun. How could she hold out for so long..."
"..."
The men on the left were chattering about what was going on in the ring. Chu Yueling heard it clearly and retorted a few words, but in the end she was really out of energy. Her voice was hoarse from cheering, and she looked at the two spears that were emitting sparks, feeling very painful.
"Sister-in-law, it's been half an hour. When will the fight end?"
"It should be soon!" Lu Mingyang said.
The spear in Lu Mingyuan's hand broke, and the spear shaft blocked the spear at the moment, and the spear head flew towards Pei Mian's heart. Pei Mian's spear pierced Lu Mingyuan's shoulder, and blood splattered.
Lu Mingyang rushed to the ring and grabbed his elder sister's shoulder, angrily saying, "We agreed to compete, you're going to fight for your life!"
Shen Yan paused under the ring and the folding fan in his hand fell.
"I lost!" Pei Mian looked at the blade on his chest, and his hand holding the spear trembled uncontrollably, but he still forced himself to throw the spear back to the weapon rack.
"Your Highness, I've embarrassed you." Pei Mian glanced at Chu Mingzheng, turned around, knelt down, took off his shirt, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please administer military law!"
"Your Highness, it's just a duel..."
"Marquis Chengyang should know that military law is as hard as a mountain!" Chu Mingzheng interrupted Lu Mingyuan and motioned her to go down.
The law enforcement soldiers came on stage and hit Pei Mian with sticks again and again.
Lu Mingyang held the wound on his elder sister's shoulder and helped her down from the stage. Suddenly, the beam in the northeast corner broke and fell down.
"Be careful!" Lu Mingyuan pushed Lu Mingyang away and turned over to avoid the beam, but unexpectedly the pedal broke and his right foot sank into the platform.
Lu Mingyang bumped into Chu Mingzheng's arms and looked back, only to see the beam in the southeast corner falling down and heading straight for Lu Mingyuan's head.
"Sister!"
A shiny object flew over and knocked down the beams and pillars.
"Brother Zhou!"
Chu Yueling stared at the object that had fallen on the stage. It was the silver mask she had given to Brother Zhou. However, when she looked up, she saw a dense crowd of people outside the camp, and she couldn't see the face she had been thinking about day and night.
Chu Mingzheng said loudly: "Shesheng Camp, prepare. All civilians outside the camp, squat down. Anyone who disobeys this order will be killed without mercy."
The fields outside the camp were empty. With the people all crouching down, anyone trying to escape could be seen clearly. A dark figure turned and ran towards the dense forest in the distance.
Chu Yueling picked up the mask and ran out madly; Lu Mingyuan also left the camp to chase after him.
"They are all civilians." Chu Mingzheng watched the two men leave, stopped the archery captain from shooting arrows, and continued to order: "Changshui Battalion, Infantry Battalion, strictly investigate the civilians outside the camp, and don't let any of them go. Yueqi Battalion, Huben Battalion, follow me to arrest people. Other battalions, protect the gentlemen."
Chu Mingzheng gave the order and led his men out. When they reached the camp, he threw Chu Yueling, who had run out to look for someone, back and sternly said, "Keep an eye on the princess!"
"Brother!" Chu Yueling looked at the soldiers who were blocking her way and rushed around anxiously, shouting, "Sister-in-law, please help me."
Chu Mingzheng didn't let her go find someone, and Lu Mingyang couldn't help. Besides, those soldiers wouldn't listen to her. "Ling'er, don't worry. I'll help you find someone."
In the dense thorny forest with winding ravines, even if more people enter it, they will be as small as a grain of dust and disperse in an instant.
Seeing a mark on a small path, Chu Mingzheng signaled Pei Mian to keep an eye on it and wanted to call Lu Mingyuan over, but then he saw Lu Mingyang running towards Lu Mingyuan.
"Yangyang, what are you doing here?"
Although that person was not an assassin, there were poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the dense forest, which was very dangerous.
Lu Mingyang pulled his eldest sister over and angrily hit her: "You actually used my eldest sister to lure someone out."
Lu Mingyuan stopped his sister and asked, "Your Highness, who is that person, and why did he save me?"
"Sister, everything will become clear once we find the person." Chu Mingzheng pulled Lu Mingyang over and walked forward along the mark.
There were sounds of fighting in the distance.
Ahead, a steep ravine rose straight up into the sky. Zhu Cong and five others engaged in a fight with the masked man. The masked man gradually gained the upper hand, and Lu Mingyuan stepped forward to help.
After two moves and a glance, Lu Mingyuan froze in place.
The masked man repelled Zhu Cong and turned to run towards the steep ravine.
"Aze!"
"Aze..."
A familiar voice, a familiar name, a cry that resounded through his heart and lungs. The masked man froze. He looked at Chu Mingzheng, who was blocking his way, turned around, took off his mask, and knelt down.
"Sister!"
Lu Mingyuan walked over, holding up the familiar face, feeling the most real presence. He rubbed the hideous scars in his palm, feeling both joy and heartache.
"Aze!"
Lu Mingyuan hugged his brother and burst into tears.
Zhu Cong walked towards Chu Mingzheng and said, "Your Highness, I am incompetent. I don't know how I was discovered."
Chu Mingzheng gestured for him to take his men away, then walked towards Lu Mingyang and silently shook his empty hand. Lu Mingyang looked at him in surprise, then silently leaned into his arms.
She was really happy that her third brother was alive, but when she saw this scene, she suddenly felt like an outsider. She couldn't feel the joy of reunion, and even felt a little embarrassed.
There were faint footsteps coming, and Chu Mingzheng reminded: "Someone is coming."
"Sister, I'll go home tonight." Lu Mingze wiped away his sister's tears, stood up, glanced at Chu Mingzheng, and turned to leave.
Back in the study room of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, Lu Mingyuan seemed to be in a dream, asking his sister over and over again: "Yang'er, is this true?"
She was so afraid that it was a dream, a dream of distortion, a dream that she could no longer accept this real world.
"Of course it's real." Lu Mingyang poured a cup of tea for his elder sister and said with a smile, "Feel it. Is it hot?"
"It's hot." Lu Mingyuan smiled, and his eyes turned red again.
In the secret compartment behind the desk were the documents and seals for inheriting the title of Marquis of Chengyang. Lu Mingyuan dug them out and was about to leave when Lu Mingyang hurriedly stopped her.
"Eldest sister, what are you doing?"
Lu Mingyuan said, "Now that Aze is back, I naturally have to give these things to him. I have to go see the emperor as soon as possible."
Lu Mingyang stopped her and said, "Eldest sister, have you ever thought about why Third Brother is hiding?"
"Yes!" Lu Mingyuan's eyes widened, and he asked, "How did His Highness know that Aze was still alive? Did he know?"
"He's just guessing, and there's no way he knows why Third Brother is hiding." Lu Mingyang reminded him, "There's no rush regarding the title. Let's wait for Third Brother to come back and explain clearly before making any plans."
"Yang'er, you are right." Obviously his younger brother didn't want anyone to know that he was still alive. Lu Mingyuan dismissed everyone and waited quietly in the study with his sister.
