Chapter 300: Revealing Your Heart
Lu Jin's repeated careful investigations in Hangzhou made the White Lotus Sect almost given a nest by the government. Fortunately, Bai Lian was vigilant enough, and as soon as he realized that something was wrong, he quickly evacuated the person from his original residence, and he escaped.
But in this way, their years of hard work in Hangzhou have been in vain. Although those important personnel were not taken down by the government, several people who were inserted into various yamen still revealed their identities. Subsequently, the government took the opportunity to touch the melons along the vine, thus uprooting the power of the White Lotus Sect.
And all of this is thanks to Lu Zhen in front of him. Therefore, even if he has been dismissed now, no matter how difficult it is to pose any threat to the Holy Sect, Bai Lian wants to kill him to vent his hatred.
However, the incident a few months ago still made him deeply wary of Lu Jin, and without being 100% sure, he really didn't dare to lead someone to assassinate the other party rashly. Because he didn't dare to guarantee that this was not the other party's repetition of the old tricks, luring himself with his own bait, so as to catch himself and others.
Moreover, along the way, Lu Zhen and his people traveled day and night, walked the official road during the day, people came and went, and they also stayed in the official post station guarded by officers and soldiers at night, and they really didn't give Bai Lian and them any chance to start. In this way, all they can do is continue to follow along the way.
Lu Zhen walked so slowly, not only because he was worried that the second daughter in the carriage would suffer from bumps, but also because he was not in a hurry to go to Suzhou. Because now that he is unofficial and light, there is nothing to do in a hurry. Now is the most comfortable day of the year, so it's natural to enjoy the beautiful spring scenery along the way. This would have relieved him of his worries.
"Protector, we're about to go out of Zhejiang. I always feel that there should be no traps this time......" After two more days of traveling, after seeing Lu Zhen and his party check in to the post station again, a subordinate finally couldn't help mentioning it.
In fact, it wasn't just him, but even Bai Lian couldn't hold it anymore. Wen Yan nodded: "I'll look carefully outside later, and if there is really nothing unusual, I'll do it tonight." It seems that this time he really plans to leave Zhejiang obediently! "After all, it is impossible for Zhejiang officials and soldiers to be taken out of the province's borders to protect a person who has been dismissed.
Several subordinates were in good spirits when they heard this, and after receiving the order, they scattered around familiarly, looking for them carefully. Of course, they couldn't find any problems, so half an hour later, looking at the dim light of the post station, Bai Lian's eyes already had a trace of murderous intent coming through.
Now, just wait for the middle of the night, quietly enter the post station, and carry out an assassination!

Lu Jin, who was in the guest room of the post house, didn't know that he had been remembered all along. At this moment, he was looking at Yun Yan in front of him with a headache, with a wry smile on his face: "Miss Yun Yan, why did you say this?" How could I look down on you? ”
This is a separate courtyard in the post station, because Lu Zhen left Hangzhou with Huang Qinru and other high-ranking officials issued documents, so all the way to Suzhou can stay in the government-run post station along the road for free, and you can live in the best guest rooms.
Soon after moving in, Yun Yan, who had been quite quiet all the way, suddenly came over to visit, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she said that Lu Zhen looked down on her and thought that she was a dusty woman, so she was a little disgusted. Lu Zhen naturally wouldn't admit this statement, and quickly denied it: "Otherwise, I wouldn't have risked offending Wu Miao to save you." ”
"You save me and despise me are two different things!" Yun Yan glanced at Lu Zhen with some grievances, and her eyes were even more pitiful: "Otherwise, why are you always depressed all the way, it's not because you feel that the little woman insists on going back with you, so you are dissatisfied." ”
"Miss Yun Yan, you misunderstood, you don't have such a mind at all." Lu Jin hurriedly waved his hand, looking at the other party's resentful appearance, as if he was a man with a bad heart. God is pitiful, I really don't have any feelings for her.
"Then you like to let me go back with you?" Yun Yan blinked her eyes suddenly and changed the question.
"This ......" Lu Jin couldn't answer, so he could only say after groaning: "Miss Yunyan, there is one thing you may not know, in fact, my wife is waiting for me in Suzhou early next morning." So...... I hope you understand! "At this point, some things are better to be clear.
Unexpectedly, Yun Yan smiled disapprenously: "The concubine has a bad background, and I didn't expect to be married by the son, as long as the prince does not dislike the concubine's Pu Liu posture, he will be satisfied." ”
"Forehead ......" At this moment, Lu Zhen was completely speechless. The girls said it so directly, he really couldn't refuse again, it would hurt her heart a lot. Of course, in fact, Lu Zhen is also a little tempted by this beauty, after all, Yun Yan's appearance is indistinguishable from Chu Yunrong, and it still makes him feel very proud to have such a beauty upside down. If it had been an ordinary woman saying something similar, Lu Zhen would have refused a long time ago.
In the final analysis, no matter in ancient or later generations, it was a world of face-seeking, and good-looking people could do things more simply, especially in the relationship between men and women.
After pondering for a while, Lu Jin finally decided to speak: "Miss Yun Yan, to be honest, in the face of a beauty like you, it would be too fake to say that I am not moved. However, helping you save you before going down is by no means coveting you as a person, it is purely from a moral standpoint. So if you're just trying to repay the favor, you don't have to. ”
"Then do you think I came out with you shamelessly to repay my kindness?" Now that the words are here, Yun Yan is no longer hiding.
Lu Zhen looked at the pair of beautiful eyes flowing in the light, his heart suddenly moved, and then he shook his head slowly: "I can feel it below, girl, you are really sincere to me." It's just ......" hesitated for a moment before he asked tentatively: "It's just that you and I have actually met so much before, why do you fall in love with me, Miss Yunyan?" ”
Before, Lu Zhen only thought that she wanted to use her reputation to avoid Wu Miao's persecution. But now it seems that things are not as he thinks, and the woman in front of him is really touching her true feelings.
"Some people are as white as new, and some people are as old as ever." Yun Yan said leisurely: "Actually, since Lu Gongzi, you played that song of the original scenery of your hometown for your concubine that day, and made that poem of first sight, the concubine knew that she had found a true soulmate. ”
Lu Zhen was stunned again, was she moved by herself when she first met for the first time? I can't believe that music and poetry can be so powerful!
In the past, Lu Zhen mentioned some stories of talented and beautiful women in the book, such as Sima Xiangru's song of seeking a phoenix made Zhuo Wenjun give up everything and elope with him, which is quite unbelievable. But now it seems that the ancients were sometimes more emotional and bold than later generations in the matter of love.
In fact, this is determined by the environment in which people live. The ancients were relatively scarce in materials, but they paid more attention to the spiritual requirements, especially those deep boudoir girls; In later generations, the temptation from material things was much stronger than hundreds of thousands of years ago, and at that time, what people valued most was no longer the harmony of the soul and the communication of the spirit, but only the blind pursuit of materialism.
In fact, there is no right or wrong between these two choices, only the difference between reason and emotion.
There was another silence, and just when Yun Yan's heart slowly rose, she was afraid that Lu Jin would refuse her confession that she had so hard to muster up the courage, Lu Zhen finally spoke: "Miss Yun Yan, your affection for you is also deeply happy and moved in your subordinates. However, I still have a good wife in my family, and it is really difficult to agree to you casually at this time. If you don't give up, please give me some time. ”
Yun Yan's face suddenly showed a happy smile: "Yun Yan just wants to be by Lu Gongzi's side for a long time, and she doesn't dare to have too many extravagant requests." If the lady agrees, it will be the best. Otherwise, the concubine will always accompany the son on the side. ”
This is also the sadness of her lowly status in the land of fireworks, and if she wants to find a good match, sometimes she can only wronged herself and be a man's concubine or a house.
"In this way, I have wronged you." People's hearts are flesh and blood, Lu Zhen saw that she said so, how could she not be moved by this, and even stretched out a hand and held the soft and tender little hand.
His hand was held by Lu Jin, feeling his temperature and warmth, which made Yun Yan's heart jump. She knew that her initiative this time was successful, and she finally had someone to rely on......
It was late at night, and there was silence all around. Except for the occasional chirping of some unknown bugs, the whole inn was exceptionally peaceful.
But Lu Zhen lay on the bed but did not fall asleep.
Just now, he finally made a ruthless effort to invite Yun Yan out of his house, and now Lu Jin's mind is still full of her heart-warming beauty, as well as the words that almost came out.
Lu Zhen thinks that he is not a gentleman, and in the next few years of this era, he has never been close to women, so tonight is quite a temptation for him who is strong-blooded.
But Lu Zhen knew that he must not really have anything to do with Yun Yan at this time. The place and time are not suitable, maybe Yun Yan won't think too much about it today, but it will be difficult to say in the future.
Moreover, now Lu Zhen still has to solve Chu Yunrong's problem, if something happens to Yun Yan at this time, when he goes to see Chu Yunrong again, he will naturally feel guilty, and if he can't coax her back, he will regret it.
His thoughts were knotted, so that Lu Zhen couldn't sleep for a long time. Just when Lu Zhen was about to simply get up and drink saliva, suddenly, he saw a black figure printed on the window paper, approaching little by little......
