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

Chapter 197 Night Raid on the Military Commandery of Five Cities!

Mei Xingyue's mind raced as she considered the possibilities.

Lu Zhiyan asked, "Su Su, this plan is not bad, but this panda is really fierce and has great strength. More than a dozen guards from the Five Cities Garrison could not fight against it. How can we ensure that the Crown Prince can subdue it?"

Mei Xingyue also looked at Su Yunjin, the key was how to tame the panda.

Su Yunjin calmly said, "Ayan, before I saved you in Su Family Village, I saved a wandering divine doctor. The doctor said he came from a blessed land and gave me a few magical pills."

Upon hearing this, Mei Xingyue's heart stirred, but she did not think that Su Yunjin was talking nonsense.

Because Yuanxing had said before that he had a special elixir that could restore Mei Xingyue's appearance.

The excuse he made was that it was bestowed by his master "Yuanxing", and Master Yuanxing came from a blessed land!

"This pill has no other use than to feed it to animals, and the person who feeds the animal will become very close to it."

Lu Zhiyan was furious when he first heard such an absurd thing.

"Su Su, the goddess is here. You mustn't speak nonsense. How could you believe such a fabricated story?"

Su Yunjin was speechless, inwardly cursing Lu Zhiyan for being stupid and foolish, thinking that a little bit of pills was all it took?

Well, I'm a time traveler!

It seems that a native is a native; even if you carefully choose a man, he can't shake off the poor and stingy air of a native.

Mei Xingyue then comforted Lu Zhiyan, saying, "General Lu, you are too kind. I believe what Miss Su said."

"General Lu, you may not know this, but my youngest son's master came from a blessed land. Such miraculous elixirs are easily obtained even by blessed lands."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin looked at Mei Xingyue with suspicion.

The stories about blessed lands and elixirs were all made up by me, and your youngest son actually has them too?

It's obvious that it's related to the points redemption system she lost!

The thought of losing something so important to her caused Su Yunjin immense heartache.

She even thought of Mei Xingyue's inexhaustible supply of food and charcoal, which was also entirely derived from the exchange system.

However, Su Yunjin also had questions: how could Mei Xingyue's youngest son help her exchange so many things?

Why can't we exchange some pills to treat Mei Xingyue's legs and face?

"Miss Su, could you please test this pill beforehand?"

Su Yunjin immediately nodded, "Of course. That divine doctor gave me three pills. To be absolutely sure, it's best to test them twice."

The three discussed some details before leaving the warm pavilion.

Su Yunjin immediately ordered someone to bring A Bao a bunch of food, using it as bait to lure A Bao like a regular panda.

Abao was already full and had no interest in the food placed in front of it.

Zhu Qi, however, saw through the clues and gave A Bao a look.

Ah Bao, being perceptive, understood Zhu Qi's meaning and lowered his head to begin eating.

Seeing this, Su Yunjin smiled confidently at Lu Zhiyan: "Ayan, you see, I was right, wasn't I? Although pandas are ferocious beasts, they are very greedy and will even neglect their cubs for food."

At this moment, the soldiers of the Five Cities Garrison brought in a huge iron cage.

Lured by the delicious food, A Bao slowly walked inside.

Seeing A Bao go in, Zhu Qi also wanted to follow into the iron cage, but was stopped by Lu Zhiyan.

"You little beggar, are you going in to die?"

Zhu Qi calmly said, "General Lu, if you let me go with it, I will not make a move today. If you do not agree, then the consequences are hard to say."

Lu Zhiyan was furious upon hearing this. How dare a little beggar threaten him?

Just as she was about to teach Zhu Qi a lesson, Su Yunjin stopped her.

“Ayan, the Crown Prince’s affairs are more important. What can this little beggar accomplish? Let him go if he wants to.”

"Besides, once you're in the Five Cities Military Command, you can do whatever you want with you, right?"

Lu Zhiyan finally calmed down, looked at Zhu Qi, and sneered.

Since Zhu Qi is willing to die, then don't blame him for being impolite!

.........

Zhou Wei and the Eldest Princess rushed back to the Princess's Mansion, where they ran into Hongxiu and Ziyu, who were still searching for Abao.

"Princess, Sister Wei, A Bao is missing!"

Zhou Wei was startled. She wasn't worried about A Bao sneaking out, after all, A Bao was powerful and ordinary cultivators were no match for it.

What Zhou Wei fears is that some fool might deliberately provoke the panda and incite its ferocity.

The capital city has a large population, and if A Bao goes berserk, innocent civilians will inevitably be harmed.

Just as the group was about to go out to search again, the cook stumbled and made his way to the princess's residence.

Upon hearing the cook's tip, the eldest princess was the first to fly into a rage.

"Mei Xingyue is utterly outrageous! How dare she covet A Bao's fur and bear paws?"

Zhou Wei was pondering Su Yunjin's intentions; she was trying to use A Bao!

Su Yunjin is a time-traveling woman with a natural affinity for pandas; to her, the national treasure is an auspicious symbol.

It's obvious she wants to use Ah Bao to help the Crown Prince!

“Princess, that little beggar should be Zhu Qi. Now that both of them have been taken away by Lu Zhiyan, I plan to sneak into the Five Cities Garrison at night.”

“The prison cells of the Five Cities Military Command are small and cramped, and A Bao cannot enter them at all, so Lu Zhiyan will probably lock A Bao in the courtyard of the Military Command’s office.”

The eldest princess, however, did not want to make things so complicated.

“Abao belongs to the Princess’s residence. If I ask Lu Zhiyan for her, would he dare refuse?”

Ziyu and Hongxiu nodded in agreement.

That's how it should be, a princess with such domineering presence!

“Yes, Sister Wei, who is Lu Zhiyan? How dare he kidnap our A Bao? We should just reveal the name of the Princess’s Mansion and make him hand over A Bao.”

Zhou Wei replied, "Of course I know that if the princess asks for the person, Lu Zhiyan wouldn't dare refuse."

"But this also involves Mei Xingyue and the Crown Prince. I need to find out what they plan to do with A Bao at the court meeting."

"That way we can be on guard. Otherwise, even without Abao, they will still come up with other methods."

Jiang Yueli thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

"Then I will go with you tonight."

As night fell, the temperature dropped a few degrees.

The Wucheng Military Command Office was almost unattended.

Ah Bao was locked in the courtyard, the cage covered with thick snow. The little monk Zhu Qi sat cross-legged next to Ah Bao, and took off his clothes because he was so hot.

"Your body is like a big furnace, so warm."

Ah Bao grabbed a handful of snow from the cage and put it in his mouth, making a "ho ho ho" sound.

"Are you hungry again? Didn't you just eat several buckets of rice during the day?"

Abao threw a snowball at Zhu Qi and howled in dissatisfaction.

Zhu Qi smiled helplessly: "You can eat so much? It's a good thing you're Zhou Wei's master, otherwise ordinary people wouldn't be able to afford to feed you."

The two of them chatted and laughed to pass the time, and didn't feel that they were in an awkward situation.

Until A Bao's ears twitched and he suddenly stopped all movement, Zhu Qi also tensed up!

"Who?"

"It's me, don't make a sound."
