Chapter 515 Letting go
These guards were indeed hired by outsiders, so they were not loyal to Brahma. They also had no objection to Brahma's nephew, who had always been sidelined but had suddenly stepped forward to take charge. Deep down, they all understood that they were all puppets, the same kind of puppets, just playing different roles.

Brahma's nephew also knew that he couldn't really command those people.

They are nothing more than a mob, each with their own agendas and plans.

They made a ruckus all night, and by midnight, some were exhausted, some were drunk, and they all fell asleep in a haphazard, staggering manner.

Fu Wen brought his face close to the air vent and observed outside for a long time. After confirming that everyone outside was really fast asleep, he turned to his younger brother beside him and said, "Be extra vigilant tonight."

At this critical juncture, if anyone tries to cause trouble, none of those scoundrels outside will be of any use!

"Don't worry!" Fu Lu nodded, raising his two hands that were tightly bound. "There are only a few loops of rope. If you break free, you can grab it with your bare hands. If you hadn't forbidden it, none of us would have any rope in our hands right now."

I've been holding in so much anger all this way, and I'm just hoping someone will give me a chance to break free, have a good fight, and stretch my muscles!

I've been cooped up in the car like this the whole way; my bones are practically rusting!

"You two don't need to worry, nothing will happen to us." Zhu Yu shook his head at the two brothers, "Just stay put."

If anyone were to sneak up and attack us at night, even if they were drunk, they would jump up and run over to protect us.

If something happens to us on the way, the blame for the death of the prince will not be pinned on us, and all their previous performances will have been for nothing. At that time, it will be difficult to explain to their real masters.

So now they're more afraid than we are of someone suddenly wanting to harm us.

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Lu Qing and asked for his opinion.

"Yes, that's absolutely right." Lu Qing nodded with a smile. "If you think about it, after traveling for so many days, we should be getting close to Qinzhou by now."

"Qinzhou?" Zhu Yu felt a strange sense of familiarity upon hearing the name. Then he remembered why it sounded familiar. Back then, wasn't it Situ Jing who was impeached by Lu Qing in the Lizhou camp, which resulted in him being demoted by half a rank and transferred to Qinzhou, a place even more remote than Lizhou, to serve as a commander?

Thinking about this, she immediately felt much more at ease.

"You drank quite a bit of water just now, didn't you?" Lu Qing looked at the rune. "If you need to pee at night, you might as well shout louder so those people won't be too drunk to hear you."

Rune immediately understood and nodded, "Master, I understand!"

The area they are currently in is actually the most complicated. Although the Jin Kingdom's garrison cannot easily cross the border, and the same goes for the Fan Kingdom, the spies in the shadows may not be so.

What used to be most strictly guarded against has now become something they can exploit.

After a while, Fu Wen felt the time was right, so he focused his breathing and gathered his energy in his dantian, then suddenly shouted, "Help! Help! Hurry up and come quickly!"

His voice was extremely loud, and his tone was several decibels higher than usual, making it exceptionally clear in the quiet night. Although the guards had brought some wine, there were more people than wine, so they only drank until they were somewhat tipsy, then pretended to be crazy and made a ruckus for half the night. They were far from being completely drunk and unconscious.

So when they were caught off guard by Fu Wen's shout, the guards who were closest to them jumped up from the ground in fright. They touched their swords and looked around in confusion before realizing that it was just the people in the prison cart shouting and that there was nothing unusual around them. They breathed a sigh of relief.

With that sigh of relief, the guards couldn't help but feel annoyed again. After all, they were sound asleep and were suddenly woken up by someone shouting, which gave them quite a fright.

They scrambled to their feet, rushed to the prison van, and slammed the back of their knives against the roof with a clang: "What are you yelling about in the middle of the night?! If you're going to die, die quietly! What's all the commotion about?!"

"I need to pee! I need to go outside to relieve myself! I can't hold it in anymore!" Rune shouted back.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night! Peeing in the car!" the guard outside shouted irritably.

"That won't do! My master is the dignified Prince Xiaoyao! What kind of audacity do you have to dare ask me to slack off in this prison cart?!"

"Aren't you afraid that when you get to the capital, the Emperor will see that you have humiliated his princes in this way, and without even asking why, he will just cut off your heads?!" Fu Wen roared.

The guards looked at each other, somewhat conflicted, but they were reluctant to take someone out into the woods to relieve themselves late at night. They were afraid that since they were already here, near the border of the Jin Kingdom, if something went wrong, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

Just as they were pondering this, Brahma's nephew was also awakened by the noise. Still half asleep, he poked his head out of his comfortable carriage and asked the guards outside, "What are you all making such a racket in the middle of the night?"
"Having a few drinks and causing a ruckus half the night, still not enough?!"

The guard gave him a somewhat annoyed look. After all, this man was the leader among them, so he couldn't be too disrespectful. He could only point to the prison cart and say, "That man said he needed to urinate, so I told him to urinate in the cart, but he refused!"

Upon hearing this, Brahma's nephew quickly waved his hand, "You can't be silly! There's a prince inside! Take a few more people with you and keep an eye on him. He's just taking a piss; he can't just grow wings and fly away!"

Since he had said so, what could the guards do? They could only reluctantly go to the prison cart, pull the rune out of it, and then four or five of them surrounded him and led him into the woods nearby.

Zhu Yu listened intently to the sounds outside, his heart pounding. He could faintly hear the voice of the runes saying something about needing to go further away, because if they got too close, he would be embarrassed and wouldn't be able to urinate.

After that, she probably went even further, and she could no longer hear any other sounds except the snoring of the other drunken guards.

Zhu Yu couldn't help but sigh. They were truly a motley crew. In such a desolate place, they were drinking and sleeping soundly, without the slightest bit of vigilance that a guard should have.

After a while, a rustling sound came from inside. Fu Lu leaned closer to the air vent and nodded to Lu Qing: "Master, my brother is back."

Just a quick note: thank you for using the "Reader Correction" feature. If you find a bug, simply type out the version you believe is correct in the correction section. I'll then accept the correction in the backend. If you retype the bug and add a question mark, I can't accept it directly; I'll have to ignore it and make the correction again.

Reader corrections are not restricted by publication time, but authors can only modify recent chapters. Regardless of the modification method, it will not affect chapters that have just been updated in the recent past. However, if the chapter was updated a month or two ago, the correction may fail because the author does not have the permission to modify it.

I bowed again in thanks.
