Chapter 316: Temptation
With Lu Jue's ability, even if his cultivation was so tightened, as long as he struggled with the speed of his body, he would not be able to give it a try.
In other words, now there is only Lu Jue himself, he may be able to fight, as long as the moment the mechanism is activated, he reaches the surroundings of Boss Zhou and captures him, there is still a chance.
But Mu Bai came with him, and as long as Lu Jue made the slightest move, he was afraid that Mu Bai would be killed by random arrows.
Lu Jue has never doubted whether the current situation is Mu Bai's doing, suspects don't need to use people to be suspicious, Lu Jue believes that his intuition about Mu Bai is right, and he also firmly believes that Mu Bai will not betray himself.
After a while, Lu Jue clenched his fists in a deep voice and said to Boss Zhou:
"The person you want is me, in the current situation, if you let her leave, I will be arrested, otherwise, we will die together."
Lu Jue didn't look at Mu Bai again, but after Mu Bai, who was behind Lu Jue, heard Lu Jue's words, something more unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
"Together? As long as I move my fingers, you will be pierced by ten thousand arrows in an instant, hmph, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me. ”
Boss Zhou looked at Lu Jue fiercely, his eyes were full of confidence, and he snorted coldly, only feeling that Lu Jue didn't see the current situation clearly at all.
"Since I said that I will die together, I will definitely be able to do it, if you really want to try it, I have no opinion, from here to you, I will never exceed one breath, within one breath, Mu Bai will die, you will be buried for him, as for me, do you think that a few of your subordinates outside the secret room can hurt me?"
Lu Jue looked at Boss Zhou in front of him coldly, and his words were already full of killing intent.
The exaggerated look on Boss Zhou's face gradually converged, and turned to a flat look, his eyes flickering in the narrow gap.
"May I ask? If you're sure of that, why not just do it? ”
Halfway through speaking, Boss Zhou's sparkling eyes glanced at Mu Bai, who was standing behind Lu Jue, and continued.
"After all, if you do this, you still have a chance to live, but if you say it, I will be more guarded, and if you fall into my hands, you may not really run away."
Lu Jue turned his head to look at Mu Bai, who had already bowed his head at this moment, a complicated look trembled slightly in his eyes, and after taking a deep breath, he replied to Boss Zhou: "Because she is my friend, I, Lu Jue, will not exchange my friend's life for my own life and death." ”
Friend?
Mu Bai's lowered head still didn't lift, but his hands were already clenched very tightly, and even a little white.
"Friends?"
Boss Zhou heard Lu Jue's words, muttered for a while, and his tone changed again and again, I don't know how long it took, Boss Zhou sighed softly, and said with some self-deprecation to Mu Bai, who had been bowing his head and silent, and said with some envy:
"I'm starting to envy you a little."
After speaking, Boss Zhou clapped his hands, and the suppressed aura in the secret room gradually disappeared, Lu Jue felt that his internal strength cultivation had all returned at this moment, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Lu Gongzi, don't blame, don't doubt Mu Bai, all this is my own opinion."
At this moment, Boss Zhou got up and walked in front of Lu Jue, bowed down very respectfully, and there was no strange tone in his words.
Lu Jue naturally understood that everything in front of him was that Boss Zhou was testing himself, and when he looked at Mu Bai again, he also understood why Mu Bai kept bowing his head and didn't speak again.
"It's okay, Boss Zhou is also concerned about Mu Bai's situation, and I can understand it."
Lu Jue smiled indifferently, and then after a shaking at the bottom of the dark room, several chairs made of stone slowly rose up.
Lu Jue and Mu Bai sat down one after another, but at this time, Mu Bai's mood was still a little indescribable, after all, Lu Jue's words, including the definition of a friend, made her very moved.
"You two came here today, I don't know what you want to know?"
Boss Zhou went directly to the topic and asked.
Fang Cai's confrontation seemed to nonexist, and Lu Jue and Mu Bai also deliberately avoided Fang Cai's emotional changes.
Everyone knows in their hearts that Fang Cai's temptation is probably not as simple as Boss Zhou said, if Lu Jue really did something, what would the consequences be?
Mu Bai slowly exhaled a breath, and then asked with a straight face: "For a while, I was detained by Caomutang, what happened to the Tidi clan, why did I withdraw from the army?" ”
When Boss Zhou heard Mu Bai's inquiry, he obviously guessed it, after all, the two have known each other for a long time, and Boss Zhou also knows Mu Bai's personality very well.
"I don't know the exact situation, because the reason for this seems to be that there is something wrong with the old priest's side, and I'm afraid only the real Tidi royal family will know."
Between Boss Zhou's business, there has been a lot of news, but about this retreat, I can only vaguely understand the approximate situation, and the royal family behind the scenes has forcibly suppressed too much.
"Involving the royal family and the Sage?"
Mu Bai and Lu Jue glanced at each other, and they also felt that this matter was indeed becoming more and more difficult.
"By the way, what are the new changes in the domains of King Beichang and King Changwu now?"
Boss Zhou frowned when he heard Lu Jue's inquiry, and then began to rummage through the drawer on the side, and at the same time explained with an apologetic smile on his face: "The casino business has been too good these days, and I haven't looked at the intelligence very closely. ”
After speaking, Boss Zhou had already taken out something similar to a dossier, and shook his head after looking at it twice.
"No, after all, the person in charge of contacting King Beichang on weekdays has always been Mu Bai, the fake prince, and as for King Changwu, there is no news, as if the world has evaporated."
After the three of them exchanged a few polite words, Lu Jue and Mu Bai left from the back door of the casino.
On the streets, the weather has warmed up in the past few days, so that all the original snow has melted, except for the water and mud, there are many more passers-by.
With the recovery of the city, many wandering people began to come back one after another, and there were more and more people in the city.
"Childe, the matter of Fang Cai..."
Mu Bai walked on Lu Jue's side, his eyes still seemed to be a little tangled, and he whispered to Lu Jue.
Lu Jue shook his head slightly and said comfortingly.
"It's okay, in troubled times, it's okay to be more careful."
After just walking a few steps, Lu Jue thought of something, so he looked at Mu Bai and asked curiously, "Boss Zhou, is it the same as you?" ”
Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Lu Jue was referring to, so he nodded, and then spoke:
"When we were children, we were all slaves in the Tidi clan, but later I was taken away by the Tidi royal family because I knew the art of change, and he also worked hard by himself step by step to get to where he is today."
