Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Xie Jin reminded everyone that they had already covered their faces with cloth soaked in water, and that the knockout powder was not very effective.

After a few rounds, Xie Jin and General Li led their men to capture most of the Red Lotus Men, but some of them still escaped.

Xie Jin threw the spear in his hand, and Xuan Mingzi was stabbed in the calf by the spear while running away.

Xuan Mingzi fell to the ground, unable to walk.

The Red Lotus Langjuns wanted to come to the rescue, but Xuan Mingzi shouted, "Don't worry about me, go help the young lady. We have hostages, they won't kill me."

When the Red Lotus Young Masters heard this, they knew that with Xuan Mingzi now with them, no one could escape.

Instead, he listened to Xuan Mingzi's words and went to help the eldest lady. With the two hostages, Prince Yun and the "Crown Prince", there was still a chance to turn the situation around.

"Master, we'll leave first." After saying this, Honglian Langjun ran away quickly.

Xie Jin came to Xuan Mingzi and pulled out the spear with force.

General Li praised, "Thank you, General, for your excellent marksmanship."

Xie Jin cupped his hands, "Thank you for the compliment. General Li, please have Xuan Mingzi bandaged immediately and interrogate him strictly. I will lead the others to continue the pursuit."

Upon hearing this, General Li immediately left his deputy behind to bandage Xuan Mingzi's wound to stop the bleeding, and personally escorted Xuan Mingzi back to the capital.

Capturing Xuan Mingzi is also considered as catching one of the masterminds.

Xie Jin led more than 20 imperial guards and several Jinlin guards to track them down.

The small boat came out of the Lotus Cave and sailed in the winding river. There were lush trees around and no mountain roads around.

If people chased along the shore, they would not be able to catch up with the boat, let alone on horseback, as there was no way to go.

Watching the boat disappear into the winding and steep mountains from afar, everyone was so angry that they beat their chests and stamped their feet.

"General Xie, what should we do now?" asked a guard.

Xie Jin asked: "Do you know where this stream flows to?"

The guard thought for a moment, then said, "Some of it flows into Qujiang!"

"Qujiang?" Xie Jin murmured to himself. Following Qujiang, he could enter the Qujiang Lake in the capital.

Xianglanju is near Qujiang Lake.

Xie Jin thought for a moment and said, "Come with me into the city now, to Qujiang Pond."

The guards were stunned, "General Xie, why are you going there?"

Xie Jin replied: "Lotus Cave is very hidden, and there are high mountains along the way, so it is not easy to travel. The people of Honglianfang are able to make quick decisions every time they act, so there must be a very hidden place in the city."

"This stream flows through Qujiang River, and Qujiang Pond is fed by water from Qujiang River. Only through this channel can small boats quietly enter the city without going through the city gate."

The guards were slightly startled when they heard this. "General Xie, those people are not afraid of death? How dare they return to the city?"

Xie Jin had his wife Gu Xirong's "dream prophecy", and was very confident, "The great secluded people are hidden in the city. The people in Honglianfang are good at disguising themselves, so they can hide among them. On the contrary, it is inconvenient to act in a remote place."

"We have lost him now, and we don't have a boat, so we can't catch up. Fortunately, we have captured Xuan Mingzi, so we are not without gain. Let's go into the city now, and try our best. Maybe we will get something unexpected."

The Imperial Guards and Jinlin Guards also knew that there was nothing they could do now, so they followed Xie Jin's advice and rode back to the city at full speed.

As luck would have it, at the city gate, I met Zhou Jin and a group of agricultural officials, and finally arrived at the city gate.

Xie Jin saw Zhou Jin and bowed, "Brother-in-law, the remnants of the Red Lotus are still here, you have to be more careful and return home early."

Zhou Jin was stunned, "Didn't catch it?"

Xie Jin nodded, "We captured Xuan Ming Zi, but we didn't rescue the 'prince', nor did we find Xuan Ming Zi's daughter Bai Lian."

Zhou Jin showed surprise on his face, "Congratulations to Brother-in-law Xie for his contribution. I won't keep you any longer. I have to take you all to the clinic quickly. Goodbye!"

His father was not around, and Zhou Jin didn't want to get involved.

Delivering the letter to Yuan Zhen previously was the most he could get involved in.

Today, accompanying the "Prince" to inspect Zhuangzi is one of them.

It is really difficult for him to go into battle and kill the enemy and chase after Lord Honglian.

Besides, the core interests of Changning Marquis's Mansion are in the Northern Territory and Northern Rong. Now is a critical moment, and no accidents can happen.

Zhou Jin said goodbye and led his men into the city.

They were taken to the clinic, where they were prescribed medicine for the officials from the Department of Agriculture, and then the officials were allowed to go home and rest for three days.

After Zhou Jin finished his work outside, he returned home quickly.

The gates were locked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave the Changning Marquis' Mansion at will except for daily shopping.

After Xie Jin met up with Commander Xu and discussed with him, they prepared to disguise themselves and enter the vicinity of Qujiang Lake.

While the others were searching near Qujiang Lake, Xie Jin dressed up as a scholar and entered Xianglanju.

Xianglanju is a place to buy books, calligraphy and paintings. The servants there are handsome and are selling various books and storybooks.

There are not only men but also many women who come here to buy books.

Some ladies came with their maids to choose books, and some maids came here to buy serialized novels on behalf of their masters.

Xie Jin has been in mourning recently and has not been exposed to the wind and sun. In addition, he has been recuperating from his previous injuries, so his originally dark skin has become a little whiter.

After changing into scholar's attire, he looked like a scholar, except that this scholar looked a little stout.

The waiter came forward and asked, "Sir, what book would you like?"

Xie Jin thought for a moment and said, "I like books like Traveler's Geography. Find me a few and I'll look around first."

The waiter responded, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will help you find it right away."

Xie Jin looked around, and the waiter quickly found a few books that Xie Jin had just requested.

He came to the back door of the store and suddenly covered his stomach, "Ouch, my stomach hurts. Waiter, where is the toilet?"

The waiter who had just brought the book over heard this and quickly stopped Xie Jin who was about to rush in, "Sir, if you want to use the restroom, turn right outside the store, there is a public restroom over there."

Xie Jin shook off the waiter's hand and said, "I have a stomachache and I'm about to poop in my pants. If you don't take me to the toilet behind you, I'll poop in your bookstore."

Xie Jin was very strong and had already pushed open the back door. "Where is the toilet?"

The waiter was anxious, but he saw that the man had already rushed in, and that man was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, as if he really had a stomachache. "Sir, it's not in the west, it's in the east. Please follow me!"

Xie Jin was pulled by the waiter and went to the toilet.

After Xie Jin went in, he said to the waiter outside: "Bring me some paper to wipe my butt. I don't use toilet paper. Who knows who used it? What if someone gets sick?"

The waiter heard the stench coming from inside and stamped his feet in anger, "Hurry up, I'll get you some paper."

At this time, Xie Jin was pinching his nose and stirring the shit with a shit stirrer, and the stench was overwhelming.

The waiter brought paper over and almost fainted from the fumes. What did this gentleman eat to make his poop so smelly?

"Hurry up, don't dawdle. It stinks." The waiter quickly threw the paper in.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

The waiter immediately went to open the door.

Bai Lian disguised herself and carried the unconscious "Prince" on her back and finally arrived at Xianglanju.

As soon as he came in, Bai Lian frowned, "What's that smell?"
