Qi Junze snorted coldly

“My maternal family is about to be exiled, so it’s nothing for me to do something impulsive at this time.

My father will definitely turn a blind eye to it, and maybe he will even think that I am kind and sentimental."

Qiu Wu bowed and said

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

Not long after Jiang Sheng returned home in the afternoon, someone came to tell her that she could go back to the house to get her things. Jiang Sheng hurried over with several large boxes.

When they arrived at the gate of the general's mansion, Qiu Wu also arrived with his men.

Qiu Wu took out Qi Junze's token

"His Highness ordered me to accompany Miss Jiang to the Lu Family Ancestral Hall to retrieve the tablet of the Lu Family hero. Please help me."

Jingjiwei looked at the token and then at Jiang Sheng behind her and bowed.

"We have been ordered to guard the General's Mansion. The General's Mansion has been confiscated and no one is allowed to enter or leave. It is difficult for us to obey your orders."

Qiu Wu just chuckled and said

"You are so selfless, there is no room for negotiation?"

The man said in a deep voice

"Feel sorry."

Qiu Wu was not annoyed, and said with a smile:

"Well...."

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the man, who flew out and fell on the sealed door of the general's mansion. It was unknown how much strength he used.

Jiang Sheng, who had a look of disappointment just now, was suddenly dumbfounded. How did things develop to this point?

The Third Prince’s guards and the people from the Capital Guards actually started fighting?

When the people from Jingjiwei saw him taking action, the scattered guards immediately stood in a row and showed their weapons to them.

Qiu Wu brought a lot of people with him, and they didn't look like they were afraid of anything. When they saw them displaying their weapons, they stood in a row and protected Jiang Sheng and the others behind them.

Seeing that the two groups were about to start fighting, Jiang Sheng hurried forward

"Master Qiu Wu, please don't be impulsive. Don't cause trouble to His Royal Highness the Third Prince because of this matter. I have thought of another way to take the things away. You should take your people away from here first."

When she said she had a way, she was not trying to deceive Qiu Wu. Since she couldn't take him away openly, she would take him away quietly. Although she didn't know kung fu, she had cheats. It was better than making a fuss and causing trouble for Qi Junze.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Wu bowed respectfully to her and said

"Somebody come!"

"exist!"

"Protect Miss Jiang and the others. Everyone else, follow me!"

"Yes."

Jiang Sheng was stopped by someone behind him, and the two groups started fighting immediately.

Swords and knives were flying everywhere, and blood was even seen.

"Qiu Wu! Stop! Stop now!"

Unfortunately, her voice was quickly drowned out by the sound of swords clashing and fighting.

I don't know how long it took, but when it seemed that Qiu Wu was about to win, there was a sudden shout from behind Jiang Sheng and the others.

"Qiu Wu, what are you doing? You broke into the general's mansion and injured the Jingji Guards. What do you want to do?"

Qiu Wu looked at the person who came and sneered

"Why are you acting like a leader after only being in this position for a few days?"

The man choked and then drew his sword in anger.

"Qiu Wu, you are going too far!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and the people behind him rushed forward.

They were outnumbered and powerful, and Qiu Wu was obviously unable to defeat them.

At this moment, a man suddenly appeared on horseback galloping towards him. It was Eunuch Gao, the eunuch in charge of His Majesty's affairs.

"Stop it, everyone!"

Hearing his voice, both sides stopped fighting.

Eunuch Gao sat on his horse and said condescendingly:

"Pass on His Majesty's order: Allow Miss Jiang to enter the mansion to take the Lu family's ancestral tablet, and leave immediately after taking it."

The leader of the Jingji Guard wanted to say something, but Eunuch Gao waved his hand and said

"The Jingji Guards have performed their duties faithfully. In compliance with the order of His Majesty, each of them will be awarded three months' salary. This matter ends here, and everyone can go their separate ways."

After saying this, Eunuch Gao went back.

Everyone in the Jingji Guard looked at Qiu Wu's face with great indignation, but in the end, due to the emperor's oral order, they supported each other and left.

Jiang Sheng wanted to check the injuries of Qiu Wu and his group, but Qiu Wu refused.

"Don't worry Miss Jiang, they are just minor injuries. You should go in and get your things."

"It doesn't matter a moment. If it's really serious, you should go to the hospital in time."

Qiu Wu couldn't refuse, so he had to let her take their pulses. After confirming that they only had superficial injuries and were not seriously injured, Jiang Sheng took Nan Zhu and the other three in to collect their things.

It would be a lie for Jiang Sheng to say he didn't feel sad when he returned to the general's mansion.

Looking at every familiar scene and thinking about all the things that had happened, she couldn't help but feel tears in her eyes again.

The scenery remains the same, but the people are different.

Nanzhu held the man

"Miss, let's go get our things and leave early. Although the Jingji Guards have left, they may come back."

Jiang Sheng nodded slightly and took them to the ancestral hall.

The candles in the ancestral hall had been extinguished, and the fruit and snacks on the table had already rotted and spoiled because no one had replaced them. There was even a faint musty smell in the hall.

Jiang Sheng knelt on the mat and kowtowed three times respectfully.

"The Lu family's heroic spirits are above us. Now the situation has changed suddenly. Everyone in the Lu family will be exiled to Lingbei soon. In order to ensure that no one worships our ancestors, today Jiang Sheng, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, has come to lead all the ancestors to the north together."

After saying that, he kowtowed three times before letting Nanzhu and the others collect the things one by one from the outside to the inside.

There were so many tablets that the large boxes we brought with us were all filled to the brim before we returned.

When they walked outside, they found Qiu Wu still waiting outside. Then, under Qiu Wu's protection, they returned to the house.

In the blink of an eye, the day of exile arrived.

Jiang Sheng drove the carriage to wait for them at the city gate early in the morning.

The last time she appeared here was to see her grandfather off, but this time, she became a fellow traveler.

Soon, the sky began to lighten up. The sun was hiding behind the mountain, ready to appear at any time. More people came to the street, and the sounds of hawkers coming and going were constant.

Many small vendors have already set up their stalls. Jiang Sheng asked Nan Zhu to order some meat buns and wontons so that they could at least have a hot meal when they came out.

Jiang Sheng only looked at the sunrise for a few seconds before he heard Yuzhu say in surprise:

"Miss...Miss...Look, is there anyone coming over there?"

She walked over there, but after not seeing them for a few days, they all seemed a little haggard.

Seeing that they were still wearing the clothes they had worn on the day their house was searched, he ordered the people behind him to quickly take out the clothes they had made earlier and walked over.
