Ordinary observers in fast time travel

All the soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, this guy just came to join in the fun!

"Knock away!" The corporal retracted his gaze, ignoring a certain scholar who was in the way.

Almost as soon as the words fell, the door was knocked open. "Bang~" The door panel fell in response, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Ahem~" Two coughs sounded, and all the soldiers immediately surrounded him.

"Huh? Why are there two...women." The young scholar exclaimed, "Could it be that the thief escaped?"

Wu Zhang frowned and looked at the two, "Take them away!"

The two soldiers immediately stepped forward, reaching out to grab them.

"Ah—" Yun Shu was so frightened that she tried her best to hide on Chu Ningyan.

"Master Jun, let's go by ourselves." Chu Ningyan asked tentatively.

The corporal squinted at her, "Let's go!"

Chu Ningyan breathed a sigh of relief, and led Yun Shu out of the house.

"Report to Lieutenant Cao, and found two suspicious-looking people!" Cao Yuan, who was counting the consumption of the siege, did not raise his head, "I will deal with it now as I did before. Do I still need my captain to teach you?"

"It has been interrogated, she is the daughter of the defected Luzhou City prefect." The little sergeant's attitude towards Captain Cao was obviously used to it.

"Huh? Chu Huan's daughter? Heh~" Cao Yuan chuckled disdainfully, "Officials of the Nanyue Kingdom, this captain is quite knowledgeable."

Then, he looked at the sergeant again, "How did you deal with the family members of the officials who were arrested before?"

"Received as official slaves or official prostitutes."

"Since there are precedents, why ask this captain?"

"Lieutenant Cao, General Xiao ordered Zhou Qi, who was going to be recruited, to intercede with those two people, and said that as long as they were released, he would be willing to surrender." The little sergeant's forehead was sweating.

Cao Yuan stared at the little sergeant with displeasure, "Since General Xiao has given the order, why are you still looking for this captain! Too much free time? Are you looking for this captain?"

"My subordinates dare not. General Xiao was summoned by His Majesty to leave Luzhou immediately after he attacked the city." Sweat dripped down, but the little sergeant did not dare to wipe it off.

"Forget it, let's go, go meet that Zhou Qi." Cao Yuan stood up suddenly with the book in his hand, and all the books at his feet fell down. The veins on his forehead twitched, and he lifted his foot and stepped over Case a few, go straight to the outside of the tent.

"Get someone to clean up!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Chu Ningyan was half rejoicing and half afraid. If she hadn't been imprisoned next to Zhou Qi and recognized by him, she and Yun Shu would have become official slaves.

"Sister Ningyan, don't be afraid, I will protect you." Zhou Qi looked at the disgraced Chu Ningyan with distress.

"Brother Yuanxing, thank you! I...I will repay you." Chu Ningyan said seriously.

"You don't need to repay, it's what I should do to protect you." Zhou Qi's eyes were full of tenderness.

Chu Ningyan felt that his gaze was burning, and couldn't help avoiding his gaze.

"Pa, pa, pa" applause came from outside, and the two looked towards the entrance one after another. A tall and straight figure walked in slowly, with that sharp aura, one could tell it was a high-level warrior.

"What a lover and concubine!" Cao Yuan looked Zhou Qi up and down, his face was white and beardless, and his figure was thin like a warrior, but from the sense of breath, he was indeed a tenth-class elder.It can be called a young talent.

"Who are you?" Zhou Qi in the cell looked at Cao Yuan displeased.

"Who am I? This lieutenant is Cao Yuan, the lieutenant of the Yueqi school, and the one who will determine your future destiny." Cao Yuan's tone was very light and his attitude was arrogant.

"Since that's the case, you should let Sister Ningyan go. She is innocent and has already been abandoned by Thief Chu! If Da Xia really wants to rule the world, he shouldn't hurt innocent people!" Zhou Qi Dayi said sternly.

Cao Yuan ignored him, and turned to look at the cell next to him, where there were two little dwarfs covered in dirt and mess.He looked up and down, but he couldn't see any flowers, "Let the maid wash her twice."

"Yes!"

Soon the soldiers brought in two buckets of water and led a servant woman in.

"Greetings to Lord Jun." The maid looked at the situation in the cell. Is there any way to prevent the two women from cleaning their faces in front of the man?
The servant girl hesitated to speak, and finally, under Cao Yuan's power, said nothing, went directly into the cell, and began to clean the dirt for Chu Ningyan and Yun Shu.

Soon, the dirt from the two of them was washed away, and Chu Ningyan's beautiful and delicate face appeared in front of everyone.

"It's really a little beauty!" Cao Yuan's tone was flirtatious, but his eyes were clear, without any evil thoughts. "No wonder Zhou Qi wants to protect you even if he surrenders to me!"

The most sad thing is the beauty pass!
"It's just, Zhou Qi, it's not up to you to decide whether to be innocent or not. My Great Xia emphasizes strict military discipline, but it's not like you are like Nanyue who decides whether a person will stay or not with just a word." Cao Yuan's head froze. Turning around, his eyes fell on Zhou Qi.With sharp eyes, Zhou Qi, a young man who has only experienced a battle, trembled in his heart.

"What do you want?" Zhou Qi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and remained strong and calm.

"Hmph! What do I think?" Cao Yuan chuckled disdainfully, "No, what do you have to do with me?" If old man Xiao wasn't here, I wouldn't bother to care about you!
"According to my Great Xia's laws, anyone who serves my Great Xia, literati, Jinshi, and warriors, can be sold as a fifth-rank official or school captain." Cao Yuan looked at Zhou Qi, "It's just that if you want to protect these two A family member of a guilty minister can be compensated by an official position, so let's start from a small pawn."

Zhou Qi nodded without hesitation when he heard the words, "I promise."

Cao Yuan looked at him in surprise, without any hesitation, he was indeed young and vigorous, heh, really thought he was so easy to be promoted in the military rank of Daxia?
"Brother Yuanxing!" Chu Ningyan exclaimed, biting her lips, but she didn't know how to persuade her.She is selfish after all, she does not want to become an official slave or official prostitute.

"I will definitely repay you!" Chu Ningyan looked at Zhou Qi firmly.

Zhou Qi shook his head, "For you, everything I do is worth it."

Cao Yuan curled his lips and looked at Chu Ningyan, "Little girl, he wants you to promise him with his body!"

Chu Ningyan's face changed slightly when she heard the words, "Brother Yuanxing..."

Zhou Qi glared at Cao Yuan angrily, and then looked at Chu Ningyan, "Sister Ningyan, you must protect yourself."

Cao Yuan rolled his eyes, he couldn't deny it, "Come here, take Zhou Qi down."

"Cao Yuan, you promised me to let Sister Ningyan go!" Zhou Qi thought he had regretted it.

Cao Yuan snorted softly, "Your sister Ningyan naturally has a place for her. Could it be that you also want her to go to the military camp?" Cao Yuan looked Chu Ningyan up and down as he spoke.

"It's true that you're a little younger, but it's not impossible."

"Cao Yuan, how dare you!" Zhou Qi shouted angrily.

Cao Yuan frowned, "Go back and ask someone to teach him the rules in the army. This Nanyue has no rules at all!"

"Yes!" The soldier said and pulled Zhou Qi away.

"Cao Yuan!"

"You send them out." Cao Yuan looked at the servant girl.

"Yes!" The maid answered quickly.

"Captain Cao, can I return my things?" Chu Ningyan mustered up her courage to look at Cao Yuan before the maid pulled them away.

Cao Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at the soldier, "What does she have?"

"A few sets of dresses, a few pearl hairpins, two ingots of ten taels of silver, and five books." said the soldier in charge of registering and confiscating property.

"what book?"

"The Analects of Confucius, The Book of Songs, Enlightenment of Temperament, Book of Rites, and Suanjing"

Cao Yuan frowned, "Have you checked?"

"Checked."

"Then give it back to her."

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Colonel Cao!" Chu Ningyan showed Cao Yuan the courtesy of a Xia Guo lady, and then left with the servant girl.

Cao Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking thoughtfully at Chu Ningyan's leaving figure. (end of this chapter)
