Shen Ruoyan's heart tightened when she heard the man tell her true identity.

If they had known that she was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, then they should also know that they told Dong Huicheng that they had a cold war with Lu Yan because Lu Yan refused to help her break off the engagement, which was also a lie.

Since they know all the truth, they want to pretend to run away from home with Dong Huicheng in order to find their base camp and catch the cicada like a mantis. They should have expected that the oriole will follow behind.

Even though they knew it was a trap, they still let Dong Huicheng bring them here.

What is the purpose?

Do you have absolute confidence in your hidden location, or do you have other plans?

Her heart was lifted high, and Shen Ruoyan did not hide her inner nervousness. She raised her hand arrogantly, pointed at the man and threatened: "Huh, since you know that my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you dare to hold me hostage!

If my father finds out, he will definitely not let you off lightly! "

After Shen Ruoyan finished speaking, she saw that the man still didn't say a word, so she had to soften her attitude and said: "If you let me go now, I, the lady, will ignore the faults of the villain and will not hold you accountable."

Being pointed at the nose and scolded made the man quietly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

He had heard about some of Shen Ruoyan's deeds and originally thought that she might be different from those eldest ladies. But now that he saw her, it turned out that he had overestimated her.

She behaves like a daughter of an ordinary aristocratic family in the capital, with a sense of arrogance that is superior to ordinary people, and an arrogance that does not know the heights of heaven and earth.

The things about her past are probably just rumors and exaggerations.

The man pointed expressionlessly at Shen Ruoyan and Tang Xiuyuan, who was leaning next to her, and said, "Come here, take them down."

Shen Ruoyan hugged the package in her hand tightly, took a few steps back, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't touch me! How dare you treat me like this? When I get out, I will tear you into pieces!" "

Shen Ruoyan avoided the hands stretched out to her by others. She was holding her baggage and was about to follow them obediently when the man behind her suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute!"

Shen Ruoyan thought he had changed his mind, raised her chin and asked arrogantly: "How is it? Are you afraid and plan to let me go?"

The man walked up to Shen Ruoyan in silence for a few steps, grabbed the package from her hand, and shook it hard.

The things inside fell to the ground with a crash.

In addition to a few changes of clothes, there are also some jewelry that the little girl likes.

The man glanced around like an eagle, and finally picked up a sachet with his sword, put it to his nose and smelled it.

Seeing Shen Ruoyan's expression change dramatically, the man suddenly understood.

"Miss Shen knows about the use of tracking incense, but has never investigated the origin of this spice?" As if remembering something from the past, the man pinched the sachet, chuckled, and said in his hoarse voice, "In There is a special spice in the Western Regions. Its taste is very light, but it can spread dozens of miles away.

25 years ago, envoys from the Western Regions offered this spice as tribute to Daning for the first time.

The emperor at that time only regarded it as a piece of fun, but a young man present thought of how to use it to its real effect.

He asked the emperor for this spice. After returning home, he built a greenhouse, took out a little spice and mixed it with the nectar every day, and fed a house of butterflies.

Others thought that this young man was just as lost in playing with things as other young men in the capital, and did not pay any attention to his behavior.

It was not until three months later that the young man volunteered to go to Jingzhou to suppress bandits.

At that time, a group of vicious bandits were active in the mountains and forests of Jingzhou. They burned, killed, and looted, making the people miserable.

The bandits were very cunning. After robbing them, they hid in the mountains and seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Several waves of troops sent by the court to suppress the bandits returned without success.

Because of the previous failures, everyone's morale was not high. After seeing that the person leading them was a young boy, they had no interest in fighting.

But to their surprise, the young man led them in the first battle and destroyed the bandits' lair in one fell swoop! "

Speaking of excitement, the man's hoarse and dry voice seemed a bit excited.

"It turns out that the young man put that kind of spice on the arrows. As long as a bandit was shot, his body would be stained with the smell of this spice. Even though they knew the terrain very well and hid in the deep mountains and old forests, the young man cultivated that kind of spice. Swarms of butterflies can still find their traces.

The group of butterflies grew up sucking the nectar of this spice. They flapped their wings and instinctively looked for the smell of the spice. Following the butterflies, even if they were hiding in the ravines, they could easily find the group of bandits.

When the bandits saw the sudden appearance of the soldiers, they were so frightened that they peed their pants. Some of them were lying on the bed and sleeping, and were tied up with their shirts off.

However, a few escaped at that time.

These people did not believe in evil and moved to several caves to hide. But as soon as they got into the cave, soldiers appeared behind them the next second.

The bandit leader thought that these soldiers were heavenly soldiers and generals sent by God to deal with them.

With this kind of tracking technology, the bandits will be wiped out in a few days. "

How could Shen Ruoyan not know.

This was the battle that made General Lu famous.

This spice was also given the name of fluttering wings.

Taking the meaning of flying high, I hope Daning will have a powerful general from now on.

And General Lu did not live up to his hopes. Since he showed his prominence, he became more and more courageous in the war, guarding the peace of Daning for more than ten years, until he finally died in the northern border.

The man pinched the sachet and glanced at Shen Ruoyan again. Since she knew how to use this kind of tracking incense, it seemed that this little girl was not clueless.

But, did this sword dance in front of your Grandpa Guan?

"Little girl, I will teach you one more thing today." The man threw the sachet into the fire. "This spice is particularly sensitive to temperature, especially after being exposed to high temperatures, it will change its smell immediately."

Seeing the dim light in Shen Ruoyan's eyes, the man was very satisfied, waved his hand and asked someone to take them away.

Xu Shi saw that Tang Xiuyuan was stupid, and those people locked Shen Ruoyan and Tang Xiuyuan together.

The night in the mountains was cold and humid. Shen Ruoyan held Tang Xiuyuan's hand tightly, absorbing the warmth from the other person's body, and comforted each other before falling asleep.

In the middle of the night, he was awakened again by the sound of swords clashing.

Shen Ruoyan's heart ignited some hope, and the secret guard who should be following them came over.

But when I thought about the long and narrow mountain road when entering, I became worried again.

The terrain here is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is almost impossible for Lu Yan's people to attack.
