Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 74 The Newly Appointed Commander?

After leaving the mansion, Lu Zhiyan first went to the Five Cities Military Command.

Ever since Zhou Wei forced him to kneel with the phrase "as if the emperor were here in person," he had been harboring resentment.

Especially for Qiu Ming, the garrison commander!

He was just a low-ranking officer under his command, yet he dared to show him such disrespect.

He also followed Zhou Wei's instructions and imprisoned Su Yunjin in the Five Cities Garrison.

Now, Ning He has stepped in to ease the tension with Princess Jiang Yueli.

The thought that occupied Lu Zhiyan's mind was not saving Su Yunjin.

Instead, he sought to exact revenge on Qiu Ming for witnessing his humiliation!

Where is General Qiu?

A soldier immediately replied, "General Qiu is on leave today. Does the General have something to summon him for? I will go right away."

Lu Zhiyan sneered and ordered, "No need. Take my warrant and imprison Qiu Ming."

The soldier was startled, thinking he had misheard.

"General, you mean... arrest General Qiu?"

Lu Zhiyan looked at him coldly: "What, don't you understand what I'm saying? Or do you have a past with Qiu Ming and want to speak up for him?"

The soldier said no, but said with difficulty, "General, if we go to arrest General Qiu, he will surely ask what crime we have committed."

“Insubordination, dereliction of duty, and lax governance,” Lu Zhiyan said, his expression growing colder. “Do you want me to continue?”

The soldier's heart tightened; he knew Lu Zhiyan was angry, and dared not say another word.

They gathered a group of men and, under the cover of night, headed towards Qiu Ming's residence!

After dealing with Qiu Ming, Lu Zhiyan changed into regular clothes and went to the Zhaoyu Prison.

The embroidered-robed envoy at the entrance of the Zhaoyu prison seemed to have been notified in advance, and upon seeing Lu Zhiyan, he politely bowed.

"The General is here! General, come with me."

Lu Zhiyan abandoned his previous arrogance, put on a smile, and followed the Embroidered-Robe Envoy into the prison cell.

But as he walked, he began to feel that something was wrong.

A strong smell of blood wafted over, making Lu Zhiyan uneasy.

Seeing his reaction, the embroidered-robed messenger smiled and said, "General, this is the Imperial Prison, where important prisoners are held. It's inevitable that the smell of blood is a bit strong."

Lu Zhiyan nodded, but his expression grew increasingly gloomy.

Lu Zhiyan was shocked when he saw Su Yunjin lying in a pool of blood after walking through a long corridor.

Before the embroidered-robed messenger could investigate the situation, he rushed forward and hugged Su Yunjin tightly.

"Su Su, wake up, Su Su!"

Su Yunjin's hair was disheveled, mixed with sweat and stuck to her face.

Lu Zhiyan brushed aside her stray hairs and saw a horrifying scene: Su Yunjin's face was covered with deep, furrowed scars, and there was a huge wound on her abdomen.

He looked down at the straw mat, where there was a sharp, bloodstained stone!

"Who, who hurt you like this?"

Lu Zhiyan held Su Yunjin and roared, his heart filled with raging anger.

The embroidered-robed messenger who led him in inspected the cell where the four members of the Mei family were located.

He shouted, "General, a prisoner has escaped! I must report to the new commander!"

"General, you should take your men and leave quickly, or things will get dangerous in Zhaoyu Prison."

Lu Zhiyan nodded, knowing that the situation was chaotic and it was not the time to talk.

Su Yunjin's condition is not good; we need to take her to see a doctor immediately.

As Lu Zhiyan picked up Su Yunjin, he casually asked, "The new commander? Wasn't the commander in charge of the Imperial Prison Lord Ma Hu?"

The embroidered-robed messenger squatted down to examine the chains and casually said, "Lord Ma has been transferred to His Majesty's side, so a new commander is needed."

Lu Zhiyan also wanted to ask who the new commander was.

How could he be put in charge of such an important place as the Imperial Prison as soon as he took office?

Seeing that the embroidered-robed messenger was already preparing to leave, he abandoned his intention to ask questions and quickly left the prison cell with Su Yunjin in his arms.

Carrying Su Yunjin back to the small courtyard they had bought in the capital, Lu Zhiyan hurriedly went out to find a doctor.

Su Yunjin had regained consciousness and, with her last bit of willpower, grabbed Lu Zhiyan's arm.

"Ayan, don't go and call the doctor! Go out and leave me here alone. Don't come in unless I call you."

Lu Zhiyan was stunned when he heard this!

Su Yunjin's abdominal laceration was extremely severe; if it were an ordinary person, they would have died long ago from blood loss.

She was truly lucky to have managed to pull through.

If you don't call a doctor now, you're headed for death.

"Susu, hang in there. As long as the doctor comes, you'll be fine."

Su Yunjin gripped his arm tightly, bowing her head deeply so that Lu Zhiyan wouldn't see her terrifying face.

"Ayan, if you don't want to lose me, do as I say."

Su Yunjin's voice carried a certain resolve, causing Lu Zhiyan's heart to tremble.

"Okay, don't be angry, I'll go out now."

After Lu Zhiyan finished speaking, he walked outside, glanced at Su Yunjin with concern, and then closed the door.

Seeing Lu Zhiyan leave, Su Yunjin could no longer control the resentment she had been suppressing.

"Jiang Yueli, Zhou Wei, and that family of four! If I, Su Yunjin, survive, I will make you wish you were dead!"

"Spiritual Spring Space, I need you to heal my body and face!"

[Sorry, host, the points redemption function has been removed, and we are unable to redeem repair items for you.]

[To save the host's life, all of the host's points are reset to zero, and the space cannot directly repair your body.]

"So what exactly do I need to do to get back to normal?"

"My appearance is now disfigured and my body has suffered severe damage. Even if I survive, I will be a cripple."

"Beauty fades and love wanes; if I were not beautiful, Lu Zhiyan would surely abandon me!"

"I absolutely cannot lose Lu Zhiyan! Spirit Spring Space, please help me!"

[There is another way: the host can soak in the spiritual spring and use its power to repair the body.]

Su Yunjin was overjoyed upon hearing this. Although the points redemption function was gone, the spiritual spring was still an extraordinary existence.

As long as she still possesses the spiritual spring, she still has capital!

"I'm going to soak in the spiritual spring in this space right now!"

[Host, please be aware that the Spirit Spring space is no longer complete, therefore the depletion of the Spirit Spring's spiritual energy is irreversible.]

[If the host uses the spiritual spring's energy to repair the body, it is estimated that half of the spiritual energy will be consumed. The spiritual spring's effectiveness will be greatly reduced in the future, and the consumption of spiritual energy will increase exponentially.]

Su Yunjin felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

In other words, she has now lost not only the points redemption function.

Even the spiritual power of a spiritual spring will be gradually depleted over time?

That damned family of four, devils, they're all devils!

They stole her cheat code!

However, Su Yunjin's resentment was only momentary, and she quickly regained her composure.

"Fortunately, I had already redeemed some important items with my points, and I also prepared the Duoziwan for Ning He."

"As long as I successfully enter the General's Mansion, Ning He will be no match for me."

"Once I become the general's wife, even without the Spirit Spring Space, I will still hold a high position."

After figuring it out, Su Yunjin didn't hesitate to slip into the spiritual spring space.

Immerse yourself in the spiritual spring water and wait for your body to slowly heal!
