Leading the team, Lu Chen walked straight towards the vanguard camp.
While Lu Chen was busy, there was movement in the original fourth prince's residence, where Lu Chen now lived.
It was Ji Hongdie. Lying on the bed, she shouted hoarsely.
"Chan'er, come here."
After being tortured by Lu Chen all night, Ji Hongdie was very weak and shouted several times before letting Chan'er enter the house.
At this time, Chan'er's face was full of fear. She had been listening outside the door all night last night. Therefore, she knew the torture that her young lady had suffered.
Looking at Ji Hongdie lying on the bed with scars all over her body, she burst into tears.
"Miss, are you okay? Let's escape. I've seen it. The barbaric... prince has left. Let's escape."
"Crack!"
"Ooooooo, miss, why are you hitting me?"
"If you try to escape again, I will kill you directly."
"well……"
Frightened by Ji Hongdie's indifferent expression, Chan'er didn't even dare to say anything.
Then, Ji Hongdie struggled to get up.
"Bring me those healing medicines."
"Yes, miss."
With Chan'er's help, Ji Hongdie took some medicine for her injuries. Then, she endured the pain, washed up, and put on her clothes.
Such a scene made Chan'er feel a little distressed.
"Miss, just lie down and don't get up."
"Lie down! Oh, there is no time for us to rest now. Help me get dressed, and we will go out with the master."
"Oh, why are you still following him? He tortures you so much..."
"Shut up!"
Such words made Ji Hongdie scold her again, and then Ji Hongdie took a breath for a while before continuing: "Remember, the master favored me last night, not torture, remember clearly!"
"I know, I know."
"Go to the Pioneer Camp, we must fight with the master."
When going out, Ji Hongdie saw Xiao Wei looking worriedly ahead at the door. Seeing her, Ji Hongdie said nothing. Now, it is Xiao Wei who is favored by Lu Chen even more.
In addition to Xiao Wei, Ji Hongdie also met Qingxue. In the past, one of them was the seventh prince's sister and the other was the seventh prince's admirer, so they were friends.
But at this time, looking at Princess Qingxue, Ji Hongdie's eyes were full of hatred. She had not forgotten that it was brother Qingxue who completely abandoned her.
Qingxue, on the other hand, looked at Ji Hongdie with a bit of contempt on her face.
In the past few days, she could hear Ji Hongdie's pleading every day. This was nothing at first, but what made Qingxue despise was that the moans she heard did not contain any resistance, only humble flattery.
This made Qingxue, who had always lived a good life and insisted on herself, feel that Ji Hongdie was too weak.
Ji Hongdie saw such contempt, and this made her even more angry.
"If it weren't for your brother's ruthlessness, I would have fallen to this point."
Anger surged in her heart, but Ji Hongdie's face was calm. She could not threaten Qingxue at all now, but this feeling of being suppressed made her more determined.
"I have been defeated, but not completely defeated. As long as I can please the master, I can take revenge on all those who humiliated me."
"You despise me, right? Just wait. When I get the favor of the master, you will have to endure everything I have suffered. Then, I will watch you cry."
It can only be said that Ji Hongdie is not someone who is willing to fail. This blow only made her fighting spirit stronger.
However, she does not have Lu Chen's talent and cannot become a strong person. Therefore, the only way she can strive is to please Lu Chen.
Men conquer the world and women conquer the strong. This is the path Ji Hongdie wants to take.
Therefore, even though she was scarred by Lu Chen's bullying, she still struggled to go to the Pioneer Camp.
When Lu Chen arrived at the Pioneer Camp, he was a little surprised to see Ji Hongdie standing outside.
"Why are you here?"
"When I go out to fight, I need someone to take care of me. I will take care of your daily life."
"Nonsense, go back."
Lu Chen likes to enjoy himself. If possible, he would like someone to take care of him even when doing laundry, cooking, or even bathing.
But Lu Chen is not stupid. He will only enjoy it when he can. When he goes into battle, Lu Chen will be vigilant at all times, and he can also endure this boredom.
Therefore, Lu Chen immediately rejected Ji Hongdie's idea of serving.
Ji Hongdie, on the other hand, was not angry either. She smiled and continued: "Master is so cruel. He liked me very much last night."
Saying this, she changed her words directly:
"However, if you don't need my service, I must have someone with knowledge of various supplies follow me. Otherwise, you may miss some good things outside."
These words made Lu Chen hesitate. Lu Chen really didn't know much about the various materials outside the wilderness.
More importantly, Lu Chen was short of money now. After letting the low-handed barbarian get fully armed, Lu Chen felt the importance of money.
When going out for support, it is indeed possible to leave some good things behind. There are many benefits to having Ji Hongdie following you.
Ji Hongdie spoke the next moment: "And sir, I know all kinds of evil spirits. If you take me with you, it will be easier for you to deal with evil spirits."
Such words finally convinced Lu Chen.
However, looking at Ji Hongdie, Lu Chen said directly: "Think carefully, you will be safe in the royal court, but when you go out with me, I will not give priority to protecting you."
This naked threat did not make Ji Hongdie flinch. Instead, she smiled:
"Of course, sir, I have thought it through."
Of course Ji Hongdie had thought it through, but it was precisely because she had thought it through that she wanted to go out.
"Death outside, or becoming the master's confidant, these are my only two choices. I will not be a slave forever."
It can only be said that between strength and comfort, Lu Chen chose strength.
Ji Hongdie was also ruthless and unwilling to fail, so she chose the same path as Lu Chen.
After giving Ji Hongdie a deep look, Lu Chen turned around.
"Now that you've thought about it, let's go. If you die, don't blame me."
"Yes, Master."
"Call me husband."
"Okay, husband."
A smile bloomed on Ji Hongdie's face, and this made her even more beautiful.
However, Ji Hongdie's smile slowly disappeared after entering the Pioneer Camp.
It was not that anyone had offended Lu Chen and others. When Lu Chen came in, there were indeed a large number of barbarians watching.
But those barbarians could only admire Lu Chen.
When Lu Chen came in, there were even more praises.
"That is His Highness the Thirteenth Prince. He looks very strong."
"It's him. Unexpectedly, the Thirteenth Prince actually came."
"I didn't expect that becoming a prince and establishing your own territory would be the most correct idea. Joining our pioneer battalion, I really don't know what he thinks. The mortality rate here is very high."
"Huh, that's the bravery of the prince. I heard that when this prince was in his own village, he dared to go out alone to hunt evil spirits."
"You are worthy of being a prince for daring to go out alone."
