Fall in Love with Him Once More - C16
The third day of the fifth month was about to arrive. From Tian Xin Building to Quanzhou Fuyuan Temple, one had to travel for two days on horseback, and five days on foot. Lu Haoran asked Yue Zijun to borrow a horse to leave, but Yue Zijun did not ask him where he was going. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ask, but that he didn’t need to. He had already known Lu Haoran’s destination more than two months ago.
It was unknown whether they would live or die if they left. It would be very difficult for them to meet again.
The night before their departure, Yue Zijun sent Lu Haoran off with her flute. The melodious flute melody carried a deep sense of parting.
Lu Haoran wasn’t proficient in music, but he was still able to hear some differences in Yue Zijun’s tune. The emotions in his heart couldn’t help but ask: “Yue Zijun, do you really like me?”
“I have no regrets in my life that I was able to get to know Brother Lu.”
In the end, Yue Zijun still did not directly answer Lu Haoran’s question. Lu Haoran still did not know what Yue Zijun thought in the end.
When he reached Fuyuan Temple, there was indeed someone who came to greet him. After a few words of signal, Lu Haoran reached his hand into his chest to feel the black box. But right at that moment, Lu Haoran turned and leapt a few steps forward, as if he was going to escape.
The situation changed, all the people who were lying in ambush revealed their faces and surrounded Lu Haoran.
Lu Haoran laughed dryly, he turned and said: “Yue Zijun, oh Yue Zijun, you really came.”
Yue Zijun walked out from behind the wall, his expression calm and collected. The mission of bringing the box to Fuyuan Temple is over. Obediently leave the thing there and I’ll let you go. ”
Lu Haoran shook his head as he retreated, his eyes filled with despair.
Yue Zijun’s heart ached, but he endured it and said: “Lu Haoran, why would you? That thing has nothing to do with you. If I let you throw it away earlier, the cleaner you throw it, the better. ”
But Lu Haoran still shook his head.
“Lu Haoran! Don’t you know how many lives that thing has to do with? Are you sure you aren’t afraid of implicating the nine clans? ”
Lu Haoran looked at Yue Zijun with an extremely profound gaze, and suddenly asked: “If you were me, would you hand it over?”
Yue Zijun went silent for a long while, before replying, “Yes!”
“Lies!”
“I …”
“Once Young Master Youxiang Yue Zijun agrees to do something that he wants to do no matter what, I, Lu Haoran, will do it for you. I, Lu Haoran, admit that I am inferior to you in every single way, but to keep my promise, is comparable to you.
“Lu Haoran… I’ve already said everything I wanted to say, but you’re still stubborn! This can’t be blamed on me! ” After saying that, he waved his hand. “Capture him!”
Yue Zijun’s subordinates listened to him and surrounded them to fight. However, Yue Zijun stood and watched without making a move. This was the biggest concession he could make. Yue Zijun knew that it would be a bit difficult for his subordinates to capture Lu Haoran. In fact, he secretly hoped that Lu Haoran could escape, which was why he did not make a move.
However, the situation did not develop as Yue Zijun had expected. Just as Lu Haoran was about to escape the encirclement, layers of elite soldiers appeared around the Fuyuan Temple.
This time, even Yue Zijun was dumbstruck. It was only when the Seventh Prince was respectfully invited out of the Fuyuan Temple inner courtyard by the Reverend did Yue Zijun find out that the mantis was behind them.
“In the end, Yue Zijun is still Yue Zijun. It seems like you won’t even have a sliver of hope for survival.” Lu Haoran mistook all of these for Yue Zijun and felt even more disheartened. One moment he thought Yue Zijun was softhearted, he decided to let him go. The next, he would be surrounded by layers of elite soldiers, and if he acted rashly, he would turn into a hornet’s nest.
But at this moment, Yue Zijun’s heart was extremely cold. He walked to the front of the Seventh Prince and knelt down respectfully, “Your son greets Seventh Prince.”
“Mm, well done, get up!”
Yue Zijun stood up and followed behind Seventh Prince, but his gaze landed on Lu Haoran.
“Lu Haoran, no one has ever dared to not hand over what this duke wants. You sure are bold.” The Seventh Prince was smiling, his tone sounded like he was talking about the weather, but Yue Zijun knew that the Seventh Prince was angry. The more he spoke with such a casual tone, the more furious he became.
“I will keep my word and keep my word.”
“Even if it’s impossible for the whole world?”
“Lu Haoran thinks that he is worthy of the heavens and earth.”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“Useless.”
“Then do you know what This King’s purpose is?”
“I don’t know.”
“Do you know what’s in that box?”
“I don’t know.”
“Very good. If you die here today, do you have any hatred?”
“If Lu Haoran is destined to lose his life today, there will be no complaints.”
“He really is a good man!” Seventh Prince’s eyes revealed praise, he nodded and smiled. However, the next moment, he said, “If we didn’t meet under such circumstances today, This King would rather admire you. “Unfortunately …” After saying that, his expression changed, and the trained elite soldiers placed their spears on Lu Haoran’s neck.
At this point, Lu Haoran had given up on resisting. He had heard that the elite soldiers in the Seventh Prince’s hands were generals who had gone through thousands and thousands of strikes, so no matter how good their martial arts were, they were still outnumbered.
‘s face involuntarily turned green. “Lu Haoran, this king’s patience is not as good as Zi Jun’s. It’s best if you play tricks with me.”
Lu Haoran laughed blandly: “I only wanted to lie to Yue Zijun once, but unexpectedly, you have been tricked, Seventh Prince.”
“What do you mean?”
That day, I promised Brother Yu that I would keep the things in his custody for half a year. If he’s still alive after half a year, then wait for me at Fuyuan Temple for three days. But Brother Yu died five months ago, and I know that I won’t be able to see him, so how could I be so stupid as to keep the box? ”
“You said that someone will contact you …” Yue Zijun’s face turned green, he did not understand what Lu Haoran meant.
“If Hangzhou didn’t die in your hands in the next few days, naturally, there would be a contact.”
Why did you lie to me?” They had actually played this kind of dangerous and boring game for nearly half a year. That stupid man had seen Yue Zijun make a fool out of himself!
“Aren’t you lying to me?”
“You!”
How could he be willing to let a person like Lu Haoran play for half a year?
“Son, enough!” The Seventh Prince grabbed Yue Zijun’s shoulder and said very seriously: “Haven’t you played enough?”
“Prince …”
“Don’t think that This King doesn’t know what you’ve done in the past half year. This King just doesn’t care and doesn’t mean he doesn’t know!”
Hehe! How could he not know how many eyes the Seventh Prince had placed on him? He had risked his life doing many things for the Seventh Prince, but in the end, he still could not obtain the trust of this person.
“Although the item is gone, you can’t leave.” The Seventh Prince said, “Lu Haoran, this king wants you to leave your life here today.”
“Your Highness!” Yue Zijun said excitedly: “You said that you will not implicate the innocent, he does not know the contents inside.”
“How can a single side’s words convince This King? Furthermore, he would rather kill a hundred than to let go of one.
Yue Zijun’s entire body trembled. Of course he understood, but he couldn’t bear to part with Lu Haoran.
“My son.” Seventh Prince whispered into Yue Zijun’s ears: “Even if this duke is certain that he has never seen this person before, under the circumstances today, this person absolutely cannot be allowed to live.”
“Why …”
“Do you think I would leave such a person who can change your mood in this world?”
Yue Zijun suddenly realized that he was the one who killed Lu Haoran. had already wanted to kill him when he asked for the name list. He was from the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince never allowed weakness to exist in the people around him who did things for him.
However … Lu Haoran… He’s Lu Haoran!
Yue Zijun looked deeply at Lu Haoran, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Seventh Prince.
Seventh Prince was startled, but when he regained his senses, he realized that Yue Zijun had charged into the encirclement with the intent of breaking out of it. This scene completely angered Seventh Prince, he gritted his teeth and shouted: “Release the arrows!”
The arrows rained down from the sky like a rain of arrows. The two people who had become the target of the arrows fell heavily from the sky. Their bodies were riddled with wounds.
