Chapter 60: The Wisher Takes the Bait

Late at night, there was silence all around.

This night was left outside by Zhen Ying to guard, she added charcoal to the stove, and for fear that it would be too hot and Ruan Lu's throat hurt, she sprinkled some water on the ground.

And at this moment, I heard a knock on the door, "Tuk tuk." โ€

The person who knocked on the door seemed to be in a hurry, and the sound almost didn't stop, and even Ruan Lu behind the screen seemed to be awakened, and only the rustle of clothes was heard.

Zhenying was startled, and hurriedly went over to open the door, but saw that Qingqi bumped in with a pale face, and shouted when she came up, "Your Royal Highness, the slave has something to ask you." โ€

"You slut who is doing death, what are you doing here, His Royal Highness the Prince has rested, what are you shouting nonsense here!" Zhen Ying wrapped her arms around her and scolded in a low voice, while looking behind the screen, for fear that Ruan Lu would be held accountable.

Ruan Lu's displeased voice came from behind the screen, "What's the matter?" โ€

"Your Royal Highness, save Lian'er." Qingqi was sweating profusely, and she couldn't even finish her words, "She-she's going to find the one surnamed Zhao to ask for a jade pendant, I'm only afraid of ...... tonight"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a loud noise behind the screen. Soon, a figure walked out, but saw Ruan Lu wearing a robe messily, long raven-colored hair draped, and his angular face full of anger, and he said word by word, "You-what did you say?" โ€

In the dimly lit room, only a few bean-sized flames burned, and it faltered as if it would be extinguished at any moment.

Qingqi pounced and knelt on the ground, "His Royal Highness." If you don't go, she's afraid she'll be bullied by that brute. โ€

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

A relentless darkness swept over Lianzhi'er, and she seemed to be back to the day when she had been her nightmare.

Lian Zhi'er cried out in despair, but her hands and feet were still tied by Zhao Mane, her mouth was also blocked by strips of cloth, she was thrown on the bed like catkins, her empty eyes were full of horror, and countless tears rolled down and fell into the musty futon.

She originally came to Zhao Mane to ask for a jade pendant, she knew what might happen, but she still couldn't control it.

However, Zhao Mane told her that the jade pendant had been given to Sun Sheng, so she turned around to leave, but Sun Sheng, who didn't get any benefits, was unwilling to let her leave here at all.

Zhao Man's hand kneaded her cheeks unscrupulously, and there was a bit of obscenity in her voice, "Beauty, I've been thinking about you for a long time, although you are a miscellaneous piece of Beiliang, you are so beautiful." After following Uncle Ben in the future, naturally there is no need to suffer. โ€

In despair, Lian Zhi'er was a little ruthless, and he opened his mouth and bit the back of his hand, never letting go no matter what.

Zhao Mane scolded her mother in pain, and in a hurry, she slapped her loudly, but she saw that Lian Zhi'er's cheeks were flushed for a moment, and she still didn't let go, and even her teeth were full of blood.

Zhao Man, who was in extreme pain, grabbed her jaw while dragging her to the bed, Lian Zhi'er let go of his mouth, and the wound on his hand was already bloody.

He was in a cold sweat from pain, and he reached out and pulled Lian Zhi'er's shirt, "Slut, when Uncle Ben has enjoyed enough, he will take the life of your cheap hoofโ€”โ€”"

However, as soon as his words fell, he heard a "bang" The door was kicked open, and then he saw Ruan Lu with a cold face coming in, only looking at the situation in the house, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire.

Zhao Mane was shocked by the anger on his face, and hurriedly got up from the bed, covered the wound on his hand, and walked over and said, "Why did His Royal Highness the Prince come over?" This woman came to me on her own, I-"

Before he finished his words, he saw Ruan Lu kicking him over, Zhao Mane flew back a few feet away, spit out a mouthful of blood with "wow", and then lay on the ground not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Then there were a few more kicks, and then there was the sound of bones shattering.

Ruan Lu didn't look at him again, but went to the bed, but what was hidden in her eyes was the unconcealable nervousness.

saw Lian Zhi'er lying on the bed, her dark eyes with amazing tenacity, and the corners of her lips were still bleeding, and her cheeks were red and swollen.

His heart was like a knife, but he still looked down, but saw that although most of her clothes were torn, they were still intact, and it seemed that he had come in time. He couldn't imagine what would happen to her if it were a moment in the evening.

Ruan Lu trembled with both hands and ripped off the rope on her body and the cloth in her mouth, and then carefully held her shoulder, "Where did you hurt?" โ€

Her long eyelashes drooped slightly, but her face was surprisingly calm, and she just shook her head slowly, "No." โ€

Ruan Lu looked at her exposed skin and wanted to wrap him in a quilt, but after all, it was Zhao Mane's, dirty and smelly.

He reached out and tore the quilt open, then took off his robe and draped it over her shoulders.

Because he was in a hurry, he was only wearing a thin bedcoat, and then a chill hit, but he didn't realize it.

At this moment, Zhao Man, who was lying on the ground and didn't know who was wrong, snorted and wanted to struggle to stand up. But because he hurt his back, he was just like an overturned turtle, making random gestures in the air.

Ruan Lu searched around the room, but saw a short knife for protection on the table. His face was condensed, and he immediately walked over and pulled out the short knife and handed it to Lian Zhi'er's hand.

"Go and kill him." His voice was faint but full of coldness, "The rule of doing things in this world is that if anyone hurts himself by half a point, he will have to pay a price ten million times. โ€

She took the short knife in his hand tremblingly, even her fingertips were trembling, the cold blade emitted a cold light in the cold night, and the knife was obviously very light, but it was like a thousand pounds in her hand.

"You dare to kill even the son of your own life, let alone such a miscellaneous crumb." His voice was ghostly with a bit of evil aura, "That's how to relieve your anger, isn't it?" โ€

Lian Zhi'er's dark eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, and sure enough, he staggered to his feet and walked to the man's side.

Zhao Mane wanted to struggle to stand up, but the injury on his body was too serious, he looked at the killing intent in Lian Zhi'er's eyes, only felt creepy, and begged for mercy, "Miss Lian'er, you spare me this eyeless beast, I'm just a momentary obsession, didn't I touch you?" โ€

"You scolded the people of Beiliang, you should die." Lian Zhi'er walked towards him step by step. "I am the county lord of Beiliang, and my father is the king of Beiliang who is Megatron, how can we people in Beiliang let you be defiled."

Before Zhao Mane could shock her true identity, a dagger was stuck in his chest.

Lian Zhi'er's face was splashed with scarlet blood, even though Zhao Mane had already lost her breath, she still raised the knife in her hand and stabbed the dagger at his heart.

Finally, a cold hand grabbed her wrist tightly, and then Ruan Lu's complicated voice came from his ears, "Enough, he's dead." โ€

The strength of his hand was great, and with a slight choke, the cold knife fell to the ground with a piercing sound.

Ruan Lu wanted to hug her, but she pushed her away.

I don't know where her thin and small body got such great strength, but I saw that her eyes were blood-red, and even her voice was a little stubborn, "Don't touch me." โ€

Ruan Lu's hand froze there, because he heard anger and disgust in her voice, it turned out that in her heart, she was just the same person as Zhao Man.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly, he hadn't been so vile and threatening her these days.

When the two of them came out, they felt that it was as cold as hell outside, and the wind through the branches was like a ghost crying wolf, leaving only the cold moonlight shining in the endless snow.

She staggered ahead of her, her bare feet making a "creaking" sound as she stepped on the snow.

He walked behind with a complicated face.

And just as the two of them were passing a stream, Lian Zhi'er suddenly lifted a stone. He slammed the ice open, scooped the icy river with his hands, and splashed his face and body.

In such a cold winter, tossing his body like this, even the flesh and bones of iron can't help it.

Ruan Lu stepped forward and grabbed her, "You can seek death, don't show your pitiful appearance in front of this world, look disgusting." โ€

She took a deep breath, "I don't want to die, I just want to wash away this disgusting blood." โ€

As she spoke, she was about to turn around, but her feet on the ice slipped and she slammed forward, but Ruan Lu picked her up and walked into their yard.

When Ruan Lu went back with her, he saw Qingqi anxiously guarding outside, heard the movement, and hurriedly stretched his neck to look. saw Ruan Lu coming over with Lian Zhi'er in his arms, and didn't pay attention to her, just went straight into the house, put Lian Zhi'er on the bed, and then pulled the quilt and surrounded Lian Zhi'er tightly.

She ...... "Looking at Lian Zhi'er with empty eyes, there was a trace of complexity in Qingqi's eyes, and even a trace of unconcealable anticipation, "Is it the beast surnamed Zhao, has ......?"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ruan Lu, "Go and boil her ginger soup, if tonight's matter is revealed by half a word, this son will kill you." โ€

"Yes." Qingqi clutched his sleeve tightly, trying his best to restrain something.

Ruan Lu glanced at her, and was about to turn away, but a pair of cold little hands grabbed his sleeve.

He only felt as if something was about to overflow in his chest, and hurriedly turned his head, only to see that her watery eyes were a little moist, "Can His Royal Highness the Prince help me with something?" โ€

He couldn't help but ask softly, "What's the matter?" โ€

Ruan Lu only felt that he was crazy, even if she proposed that he marry her as the princess now, he would not hesitate to agree.

"That jade pendant is with Master Sun, can you get it back?!"

Ruan Lu only felt that the heat on his chest had dissipated in an instant, leaving only the empty cold.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

The second day was just dawn, Sun Sheng knew about Zhao Mane's killing, only to hear his subordinates reply that the death was extremely miserable, and even found the fragments of the woman's clothes in the house, so he knew a little bit in his heart, he knew his subordinate too well. Unexpectedly, it ended up in the hands of a woman.

But I heard that in addition to the knife wound on Zhao Mane's chest, the ribs on his body were kicked two or three times, which must have been done by a man.

Just when he was clueless, he saw a long figure walk into the room, because he had never heard the people under him, he raised his head in astonishment, and when he went, he saw that the person was actually Ruan Lu.

He hurriedly stood up, "Why is His Royal Highness the Prince here, you just have to call Weichen over if you have something." โ€

Ruan Lu smiled a little carelessly. There was a bit of coldness on his handsome face, such as a knife and axe, "Master Sun is a busy person, how can this son be easily disturbed." โ€

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is just right, Weichen still has one more thing that has not yet been explained, Zhao Mane was killed last night, and now he is looking for the murderer." Sun Sheng's face showed hypocritical concern, "It's better for your subordinates to send a few strong people to your courtyard to protect your safety, if something happens to you." Weichen is to blame even if he dies. โ€

"The son of this world killed, there is no need to bother to investigate."

Sun Sheng's body shook, almost didn't stand firm, and then said bitterly, "Why did His Royal Highness the Prince kill him, he has an official position after all, isn't this going to be ......?"

"He wants to plot against the woman of this world." Ruan Lu's dark eyes were unfathomable, "If Lord Sun is dissatisfied, just send the excerpt to the capital to sue the prince, and let the queen mother cure the crime of the prince." โ€

Who doesn't know that in Beijing, Yanhou's father and son cover the sky with one hand, and they just hand over the fold, who cares about such a small matter of mustard beans, but I am afraid that those courtiers will only think that he is robbing the wind and doing a lot of things.

Besides, he still has a fatal handle in his hands, and if he makes a big fuss, it will be detrimental to himself.

"He deserves to die, and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World deserves to kill him." Sun Sheng hid the ruthlessness in his eyes and showed a flattering smile. "Weichen only said to the outside world that he just drank too much wine and fell to his death, and Hengzhi has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Why hide it?" Ruan Lu smiled evilly, but his voice was as cold as ice, "Just tell those people that if anyone in this world dares to touch the woman of this world, this will be the end." โ€

Sun Sheng laughed, "In the future, I will definitely worship Qingqi girl as a living bodhisattva, and I will never dare to provoke her." โ€

Ruan Lu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his words, but after all, he was an extremely smart person, and he understood something in an instant, and immediately turned the conversation away, "Then, I will return the jade pendant to this son." โ€

Sun Sheng hurriedly took out the jade pendant he had received from the cabinet, and then sent it up respectfully, only scolding, "It was sent to Weichen by Zhao Mane's beast, Weichen knew that this was your thing, so he only collected it for you, and he was going to return it to you, but he was busy these days." I forgot. โ€

Ruan Lu pulled the corners of his lips, and only took the jade in his hand, like the morning glow, the half-brilliant jade gradually had a scorching temperature.

"What does Master Sun think of this piece of jade compared to Shi Daxue's?" He raised his eyes casually and looked straight at Sun Sheng, as if he was about to see through him.

Sun Sheng thought for a moment like a needle on his back, and then hurriedly said, "It's all the same thing, how can it be compared?" โ€

"But this son of the world is not the piece rewarded by the first emperor after all, it's just a fake." Ruan Lu slowly stood up, rubbing his fingers on the jade pendant, and suddenly his voice became cold, "If one day his piece is gone, this piece of the world will be the first." โ€

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

Lian Zhi'er was still sick, and his whole body burned like a piece of charcoal, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down like rain.

Qingqi had to wrap the snow ball in a handkerchief and stick it to her forehead, but she became more and more uncomfortable. He talked nonsense.

Qingqi saw her crying and muttering something, although she couldn't hear it clearly, it must have been an extremely sad thing, and in the end she choked up crying, which only made people feel uncomfortable.

And at this moment, she saw a figure enter, almost blocking the light in front of her eyes. Such a noble and extraordinary person should come to this dilapidated house and look so strange.

"His Royal Highness." She knelt down and saluted with a crimson face.

"Get up." Ruan Lu walked over and sat on the bed, but reached out and touched Lian Zhi'er's forehead, and couldn't help frowning, "Why is it so hot?" Can I take the medicine that I brought in in the morning? โ€

Qingqi looked at the shape of the two, like a couple with eyebrows raised, and felt that the two must be very familiar for a moment.

"After eating, I sweat on my body, but I'm afraid that it will be fine after a while." Qingqi's fingertips clenched his sleeve tightly.

"Stand down."

Qingqi glanced at the two people in the room, gritted his teeth and went out.

After she left, Ruan Lu's slender fingers involuntarily brushed her cheeks, gently rubbing her hot skin, and there was a trace of complexity in her eyes.

And in a daze, she suddenly grabbed his hand, and muttered in her mouth, "Bei Liang, go home, father, brother, or something like that......"

Ruan Lu's eyes were a little distressed, and he said slowly after a long time, "Do you want to go back to Beiliang like this?" Isn't there anything in the Central Plains that you can't reluctant? โ€

"Shi Dye, Shi Dye ......" she called the name in a low voice, her voice was weak, and then it fell like tears throwing beads and rolling jade.

"Whoever you like in this world, the son of this world claims to be a hundred times stronger than that person, but only Shi Dye." There was a hint of complexity in his eyes, and he finally sighed, "He is clearly a person who has broken off love, so it's better to stay away from him." โ€

She gradually stopped whispering, and it took a long time to open those pale eyes, and she gradually regained her clarity.

Seeing him, there was a trace of excitement on her face, but she slowly stretched out her weak hand, and her dark pupils were shining, "Yu Pei Ke got it back?" Give it to me, give it to me! โ€

He regained his arrogant posture, his eyes were blank, and he refused to be thousands of miles away, he threw the jade pendant in his sleeve next to her hand, and his voice was cold, "Take your things, if you lose them again, don't come to this world with a sad face." โ€

Lian Zhi'er held her jade pendant in her hands, and the bean-sized tears kept rolling down.

Ruan Lu only felt a sigh of pressure in his heart, but he pulled the corners of his lips and said sarcastically, "I really want to pull out the bait of Sun Sheng as soon as possible, so maybe you will see your Lord Shi." โ€
