Chapter 222 Please enter the urn (Part )

Last time, we talked about how Shen Yue, as expected, sent his son Shen Lu to Linjiang to take Cui Zhi away and use her as bait to set up a trap to kill Li Yi. So, can Shen Lu take Cui Zhi away? Let's read on.

In the courtyard, Li Yi was taking a nap on the bed. It was not hard to see that the great talent Li had been very busy these days. Zhang Hongchen pushed the door open and patted Li Yi's face. Li Yi rubbed his eyes and said, "You're back? Why is it still daylight? Haven't I slept for a whole day and night?"

Zhang Hongchen smiled and said, "You must have fallen asleep! I came to tell you that Shen Lu has arrived in Linjiang."

Li Yi rubbed his face, stood up and said, "Finally you're here. If you hadn't come, I'd probably have lost my life."

Zhang Hongchen rolled his eyes at Li Yi and said, "That's it!"

"How could it be possible? I feel like I'm going to die of exhaustion!"

Zhang Hongchen threw the clothes to Li Yi and said unhappily: "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business!"

Li Yi asked in confusion: "Doing business? Why do you need to wear clothes when doing business? Don't you always do business without clothes?"

"Okay! Let's do it without clothes first!" Zhang Hongchen said as he pushed Li Yi down on the bed.

Li Yi immediately begged for mercy: "No, no, no! I was wrong, isn't that enough? I don't know what's good for me! Let's do the right thing first! The right thing is more important!"

After disguising himself, Li Yi followed Zhang Hongchen into Le Zonghui. He sat alone in a partition on the second floor, with the private room where Cui Zhi was right above him. He activated the bat sound skill and eavesdropped on everything inside the room.

Zhang Hongchen laughed, "Oh, the Third Prince is here again? I feel embarrassed for asking you to spend so much money!"

"Manager Zhang, what are you talking about? I am not only supporting you, but also my uncle, so I should spend some money. Besides, the songs and dances in your music center are so beautiful, the money is not wasted. I never thought listening to music was a kind of enjoyment before, but when I came to your place, I realized that I was ignorant."

"Oh, Your Highness, please stop talking nonsense. Please wait here. Sister Su is busy with the final preparations. When she is done, I will ask her to come and entertain you."

"Okay, Manager Zhang, you go ahead."

Li Yi listened to this conversation and felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to his previous life when he was a resident singer in a nightclub. He looked at the music center in front of him, the guests were seated and talking and laughing, and the maids were busy pouring wine. He was distracted for a moment. When he came to his senses, Cui Zhi was already in the private room upstairs.

"Third Prince, I really don't know where my son is. Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you, so there's no need to come looking for me every day."

"Miss Su, I will not hide it from you. Before the assassination, Li Yuefu came to me and asked me to fight for the mission of bringing you back to Linjiang in front of my father. What he meant was that he wanted me to take you back to Jiankang."

"I will not go with you unless you give the order. Your Highness, please stop wasting your time. Or do you intend to kidnap me and take me back to Jiankang?"

Xiao Zonggang shook his head and smiled, "Miss Su, you are worrying too much. I don't want to cause trouble for myself." At this time, Xiao Zonggang's guards came to report, "Your Highness, we found traces of the Shen family, but no guards were found. Shen Lu should be bringing people from the Shen family."

Xiao Zonggang nodded and said, "Got it, continue to monitor." The guard nodded and bowed and left. Xiao Zonggang looked at Cui Zhi and shook his head and smiled, "Li Lefu will really cause trouble for me. Miss Su should hide for now. I guess Shen Lu will be here soon. Will it be awkward for you to meet him?"

Cui Zhi's eyes turned and asked, "Did the young master reach a deal with His Highness? So His Highness is here to protect me?"

Xiao Zonggang took a sip of tea from the cup and did not answer her question. He then put the cup down and glanced downstairs, saying, "Miss, if you don't leave now... Look, Mr. Shen is here. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to hide."

Cui Zhi looked at Shen Lu who was going upstairs, with a look of determination in her eyes. She said coldly: "We will meet sooner or later, so why not end it face to face!"

Xiao Zonggang smiled and said, "Oh? It seems that tonight there will not only be singing and dancing, but also a good show."

Soon, Shen Lu ran upstairs alone in a panic, shouting, "Xiao'er! Xiao'er!"

The guard at the door of the private room reached out to stop him. Shen Lu shouted, "Why are you stopping me? I'm here to find Xiao'er! Xiao'er is in danger! Let me in!"

Xiao Zonggang's voice came from the private room: "Let him in!"

The guard let go, Shen Lu pushed the door open and ran towards Cui Zhi, directly holding her hand and saying: "Xiao'er, you are in danger! You can't stay here for long, come with me!"

"Let me go, Shen Lu! Let me go!"

Xiao Zonggang cleared his throat, put down his teacup and said playfully: "Mr. Shen, are you planning to snatch someone away in front of me? Isn't that too much of a disrespect for me?" Cui Zhi broke free from Shen Lu's hand and stood beside Xiao Zonggang.

Shen Lu sighed upon seeing this, and bowed to Xiao Zonggang, saying, "Shen Lu greets His Royal Highness Prince Kang. This happened suddenly, and I lost my manners for a moment. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Xiao Zonggang smiled and said, "Ah, I'm fine, but I don't know how Miss Su feels about Mr. Shen's presumptuous behavior."

Without waiting for Cui Zhi to speak, Shen Lu started acting first. He looked at Cui Zhi with an infatuated face and said, "Xiao'er, I know you may not believe this now, but you are really in danger now. My father sent out assassins to kidnap you! I came here specially to inform you and save you! Come with me now!"

Li Yi, who was eavesdropping downstairs, suddenly spat out the tea in his mouth and muttered, "Pfft! What is Shen Lu up to? Why is she playing hard to get? I'm afraid she's going to play the emotional card next?"

"Xiao'er, I know you may have some misunderstandings about me, but I have never forgotten you from the beginning to the end! Have you forgotten the time we talked over wine under the moonlight?"

Li Yi pinched his brows, trying to dispel the image of Cui Zhi and Shen Lu being intimate with Hua Jinfan in his mind. He said to himself, "No, you take others for fools, or do you think too highly of yourself? Cui Zhi was just playing around with you before, just to get close to you. Did she really think there was love between you? I'm really impressed!"

"Shen Lu, do you think I'm stupid? When you brought the guards to capture me, I didn't see you care about the relationship between you and me!"

"Xiao'er, I was so confused at that time! I didn't realize how much I loved you. I've been separated from you for so long, and I miss you all the time! Now I understand that I can't live without you! Xiao'er, come with me! Let's run away together. I'm no longer the legitimate son of the Shen family, and you're no longer a spy of the Northern Wei Dynasty! Let's escape from this chaotic world together, and wander around the world from now on, forgetting the past and starting over!"

Li Yi downstairs shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Aren't you joking? I saw you smiling when you came back from the Qinhuai River that morning, but you didn't miss her at all. Cui Zhi, scold him! Scold him harshly!" As he said that, he picked up the teacup and continued to eavesdrop while sipping tea.

"Shen Lang!" Cui Zhi suddenly rushed from Xiao Zonggang's side to Shen Lu and hugged him! This scene made Xiao Zonggang, who was sitting upright, dumbfounded!

Li Yi, who was eavesdropping downstairs, spat out all the tea he had just put into his mouth. He was surprised and said, "What the hell! Shen Lang! Shit, is there something wrong with my bat sound power? How could I hear the wrong words?"

To be honest, Cui Zhi's abnormal behavior made Shen Lu feel confused. He stroked Cui Zhi's back and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a while, Cui Zhi said, "Shen Lang, do you really not mind what happened before? Are you really willing to give up your current identity and status and elope with me?"

Shen Lu nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes! I am willing. Then Xiao'er, are you willing to go with me?"

Cui Zhi nodded and said, "Yes! Shen Lang, I am willing to go to the ends of the earth with you. As long as I am with you, I am willing to go anywhere!"

Li Yi downstairs kept picking his ears, fearing that he had heard it wrong. However, he soon heard the sound of Shen Lu and Cui Zhi running downstairs. Xiao Zonggang was about to go out and ask someone to chase them, but he saw Cui Zhi and Jiang Hongyu standing at the door of the private room. Cui Zhi stretched out her hand to stop Xiao Zonggang, who looked at Cui Zhi in astonishment and was completely stunned.

Li Yi walked to the window and looked at Cui Zhi and Shen Lu who ran out of the door. He covered his face and said helplessly: "Damn it, this bitch is really causing trouble for me! Well, I guess I've been overdoing it these two days and it has backfired. Well, let's go back to the courtyard and wait for her to bring the people back to me." After that, Li Yi left Le Zonghui and returned to Zhang Hongchen's courtyard.

Xiao Zonggang looked at Cui Zhi and asked in confusion: "Miss Su, you are not, what was that just now? Who was that?"

Cui Zhi chuckled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. I am the real Lidya Su. It was Sister Hongchen who pretended to be me to deceive him just now."

"Ah? Manager Zhang? I didn't realize she was so capable? Will she be in trouble?"

Jiang Hongyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the one to worry about is Shen Lu! I hope Sister Hongchen won't ruin that boy. At least save his life."

Cui Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry. Although Sister Hongchen is usually crazy, she can still be relied on at critical moments. No problem."

"Is it really okay? Can Shen Lu's small body withstand her torture?"

Cui Zhi smiled wickedly and said, "That's hard to say, but his life can definitely be saved. Your Highness, please, Su Xiao will accompany you to listen to the music and enjoy the dance."

Xiao Zonggang said awkwardly: "Oh, okay, let's go." After that, they returned to the private room to continue enjoying the show of Le Zonghui.

Without Li Yi's special effects, the style of Le Zonghui has changed. There are fewer explosive dance songs and more soft love songs. They also started to add other types of music, which were rearranged by Cui Zhi and Yin Miao and then performed on the stage. Le Zonghui finally has the look that Le Zonghui should have, but correspondingly, the number of customers has also decreased.

Let's switch the camera and see what's going on with Zhang Hongchen and Shen Lu.

Cui Zhi and Shen Lu, transformed by Zhang Hongchen, were sitting in a carriage that was speeding towards Jiankang. Because things were developing too quickly and smoothly, Shen Lu was not sure whether his father was ready, so he had to go back to Jiankang first.

Zhang Hongchen pulled open the car curtain, looked out the window at the scenery heading south, and asked, "Shen Lang, where are we going?"

Shen Lu smiled and said, "Of course we are going back to Jiankang. Father is waiting for us."

Zhang Hongchen was surprised and asked, "Return to Jiankang? Father? Shen Lang, aren't we going to elope? Why do we have to go see your father? Are we going to get married in the hall instead?"

Shen Lu chuckled and said, "Wedding ceremony? You bitch, you wish! I am still being polite to you now, if you know what's good for you, be honest, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what will Shen Lang do?"

"Humph! Otherwise, you'll be in trouble!"

"Good-looking? I look good no matter how I look. How else do I want to look? Does Shen Lang think I'm not pretty enough? Then can I change to a prettier look?"

Shen Lu was stunned by these words, but when he saw Su Xiao waving his hand and turning into another person, he was stunned! He exclaimed: "Who are you! What do you want to do!"

Zhang Hongchen chuckled and said, "What do I want to do? This dark and windy night is the perfect time for lovemaking. A man and a woman riding together will be enchanting and fascinating!"

Shen Lu immediately shouted: "Help! Help!"

Zhang Hongchen first knocked Shen Lu unconscious with a palm, and then the Shen family's assassins came and broke into the carriage, trying to rescue Shen Lu. However, Zhang Hongchen quickly killed them with a knife, and then threw all the flying knives in his scabbard out. The twelve flying knives formed a knife formation and began to slaughter the Shen family's assassins.

The battle lasted for an hour, because there were still a few masters among the Shen family's dead soldiers, but in Zhang Hongchen's eyes, these fourth-grade warriors were good supplements for her to absorb spiritual power. When Zhang Hongchen was absorbing spiritual power, Shen Lu woke up. He looked at the corpses around him, and saw Zhang Hongchen grabbing a dead soldier and sucking the man's soul mouth to mouth, which scared him so much that he wet his pants on the spot.
