Soon, everyone rushed over. The leader saw the guard with a sword at his neck, but he didn't seem surprised or concerned. It seemed that he was sure that Shen Xining would not really do anything.
"Miss Shen, this guy is a soldier rogue. I didn't manage this matter properly. Please don't take it to heart."
Having said that, the guard prepared to take the person away.
Oh.
He is so skilled. It seems that this is not the first time he has done this.
The sword in Shen Xining's hand was placed at his neck. The guard stared, feeling the force of the sword. Some of them dared not move, and were also unsure of Shen Xining's intention.
"Ms. Shen, please leave some space for us so that we can meet again in the future. You came here to find out the truth for the Shen family and clear their name. We are also here under orders to help you find the truth. Let's each give in. Why make things so awkward? It's of no benefit to either of us."
The guard spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, but with a hint of threat in his voice.
"According to you, am I meddling in today's affairs?"
The guard saluted, but his tone and attitude were stiff. Shen Xining did not feel the slightest respect. Instead, he felt vaguely threatened.
"Ms. Shen, I dare not, but I am only considering Miss Shen."
Shen Xining closed his eyes and looked at the guards around him. Although they all bowed their heads, he could not see any obedience from these people.
"Good, good, excellent!"
Shen Xining swung the sword in her hand hard on the back of the kneeling guard. Because he had just attempted to do something indecent, he was not wearing armor. Blood gushed out, and Shen Xining's face was covered with blood. The blood slid down her cheeks and fell off at her chin.
The guard screamed and fell to the ground. Shen Xining stared at the leader and said coldly: "No matter what, he has violated military discipline. Am I violating the rules by doing this?"
The leading man shook his head in a daze. He had never expected that Shen Xining would be so aggressive in his dealings with others.
"Never..."
Shen Xining threw down the sword in his hand and looked at everyone.
"Since this is the case, remember this. From now on, no matter what kind of work style you have had before, in my opinion, anyone who violates military discipline or military orders will have his or her consequences fulfilled."
Her words were sonorous and powerful. She threw down her sword and left, her chest heaving with anger.
On a tree not far away, Xie Zhaoan leaned lazily against the tree, looked in her direction, pulled his lips and laughed.
The attendant beside him whispered, "She is indeed a family friend of Young Master Jiang. Although she is an unmarried woman, she has the heroic spirit of a soldier. We really didn't make a mistake in her, Mr. Yue."
However, the servant did not notice that his flattery hit the horse's butt. Xie Zhaoan looked at him coldly, and kicked him down when he was not paying attention.
"Mr. Xie... what are you doing?"
Xie Zhaoan jumped down from the tree with a light figure. He raised his eyebrows and stood in front of the servant who fell to the ground.
"Didn't you fall down by yourself?"
The servant touched his butt and there was clearly a footprint on it, but watching Xie Zhaoan leave leisurely, he felt extremely resentful. The servant did not dare to say anything more. He could only touch his butt and secretly wonder in his heart how he had offended this ancestor again.
It's late at night.
The entire garrison was serene and silent. There was no sound at all, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
However, in the corner of the garrison, a torch fell quietly. Since everyone was asleep, the soldiers did not patrol carefully. By the time they discovered the fire, it had already reached the entrance of Shen Xining's room.
Haruyuki wanted to rush in, but was blocked by the flames. The guard who had been slashed by a sword earlier was about to rush in with a wet towel covering his mouth, but the leading guard stopped him.
"The fire is so big, it would be difficult for you to get out if you go in."
The guard gritted his teeth.
"Then I want to go in too! Get out of the way!"
The guards pushed everyone away and rushed in in anger. Haruyuki was extremely anxious and was stopped by the guards, but these people had no real intention of saving anyone. Haruyuki's tears flowed down her cheeks and she bit her lower lip.
"What are you doing!!! The young lady is now going to war under the order of the emperor. If the young lady's life is in danger here, can you bear the responsibility? I think you are crazy!"
"Girl, you can see that our people are out to catch the arsonist. The fire is not our fault. How can you put the blame on us? You are really asking for trouble!"
This person was clearly being unreasonable. Haruyuki became anxious. She wiped her tears and without saying a word, prepared to put out the fire herself. However, the guard grabbed the back of her neck and lifted her up.
"Miss Haruyuki, you are a girl, and this is a fire scene. It would be bad if you get hurt. Please don't make things difficult for us, okay?"
Haruyuki gritted her teeth and struggled, her nails accidentally scratching the face of the person in front of her. Her nails were very long and she used so much strength that she actually scratched the face of the person in front of her.
"Hiss... She's shameless! Master and servant are the same, right? Someone, lock her up! Then her master will collect her body!"
Haruyuki was dragged aside by the guards. She dug her nails into the ground, trying not to be dragged away. However, she found that she was overthinking it. This group of people were very strong. Her nails were embedded in the ground and bled. Her hair stuck to her ears and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Miss...Miss..."
At this time, Shen Xining had been awakened by the thick smoke. She wanted to go out, but the fire in front of her was so big that she had no place to step. Someone suddenly rushed in. Shen Xining wanted to go over, but when she saw who was coming, she stopped. She covered her mouth and nose with her hands, and panic flashed in her eyes.
"Ms. Shen, I really didn't expect to see you so panicked today!"
Shen Xining frowned and tried to take out a weapon that was convenient for him to use, so as to at least protect his own safety.
The guard came closer and closer, and because he was carried away by his pride, he threw the wet wipes in his hand aside and it was immediately burned.
"Miss Shen, you are so angry. I rushed in here just to make you die in my hands. Are you happy? Are you touched? This is the first time that my arrow has been pulled down since I joined the army. I was stabbed by a sword. I will return the sword on your back today!"
As he spoke, the guard raised his sword and prepared to stab.
