Chapter 173
The two of them were so busy that they had to wait for the next two days.
His eyes were looking at a young man in fancy clothes who was walking towards him not far away.
"Brother Mingjie, long time no see!"
Lu Ren greeted him politely.
Zhao Mingjie was chatting and laughing with his companions at the moment, discussing which girls to order to accompany him.
Hearing the familiar voice in his ears, he almost jumped back instinctively.
"Mingjie, who is he? Is he your friend?" The companion looked at Lu Ren and asked Zhao Mingjie curiously.
The latter realized that he had lost his composure, coughed twice, looked at Lu Ren with a guilty conscience, and then straightened his voice and said, "Yes, Lord Lu is my friend."
Although Lu Ren slapped him in the face yesterday in Zuiyun Tower for helping the daughter of an old gambler.
However, considering the other party's strength and status, Zhao Mingjie did not dare to have any intention of making enemies.
Besides, Lu Ren took the initiative to greet him, so he had to give him this face.
It is good for the Zhao family to make friends with a demon-suppressing lieutenant.
"More than friends, we have even worn the same clothes!"
Lu Ren smiled and walked up to Zhao Mingjie, arm in arm, and said teasingly.
One of the companions was puzzled: "How can you wear the same piece of clothing at the same time?"
Another person smiled and explained: "I can tell from the fact that you haven't been to many brothels. As the saying goes, women are like clothes. What Mr. Lu meant is..."
The man suddenly realized: "Oh~~ I understand!!!"
Hearing the unrestrained laughter of his companions, Zhao Mingjie felt a little puzzled.
When did he and Lu Ren have this kind of relationship?
How come he didn't know about it?
But everyone was talking and laughing, so he couldn't explain anything.
It's just... why did Lu Ren say such a thing?
Just when he was puzzled, Lu Ren lowered his voice and said to him: "Brother Mingjie, I will go to Wanhua Tower to find you later. Remember to order the last courtesan."
After that, he patted Zhao Mingjie on the back and signaled him and his companions to go first.
Zhao Mingjie was confused and was still thinking about the reason. He was surrounded by several companions and continued to move forward.
Lu Ren put away his smile and walked slowly on the street holding the hemp rope.
Zhang Lanyue, who witnessed the whole process, was full of contempt.
I thought he was a noble person, but this is the end?
He disliked me for being dirty, but he turned around and made an appointment with his friends to go to the brothel?
No matter how dirty I am, can I be as dirty as those cheap women in the brothel who are "getting more and more virtuous"?
Moreover, Lu Ren's taste is not ordinary. He can actually accept sharing a woman with another man.
Could it be the legendary double dragon playing with the phoenix?
Zhang Lanyue subconsciously clamped her legs.
At the same time, a bold idea emerged in her mind.
Lu Ren and Zhao Mingjie must have a close relationship!
If I capture Zhao Mingjie and threaten him with his life, forcing Lu Ren to let her go...
After thinking for a while, Zhang Lanyue felt that this plan was feasible.
No matter what, she didn't want to enter the prison of the Demon Suppression Division, so she might as well take this opportunity to gamble.
While Lu Ren's attention was elsewhere, Zhang Lanyue gritted her teeth, and her spiritual power suddenly burst out, easily breaking free from the hemp rope.
Then she desperately chased Zhao Mingjie, strangled his neck from behind, and a short sword appeared in her hand.
Zhang Lanyue put the blade against Zhao Mingjie's neck, and shouted to the people around her with a crazy face: "Get out of the way! Get back! Otherwise I will kill him!"
Zhao Mingjie's companions were frightened by this sudden scene.
Considering Zhao Mingjie's special identity, they quickly asked the people watching the show around to retreat, leaving a relatively open space for Zhang Lanyue.
At the same time, Lu Ren walked over slowly with a playful smile on his face.
"Zhang Lanyue, do you know what you are doing?"
Zhang Lanyue was a little nervous, but Zhao Mingjie was her biggest confidence at the moment.
"Let me go, or I'll kill him!"
She threatened Lu Ren with courage.
At this point, no matter how stupid Zhao Mingjie was, he finally understood the real purpose of Lu Ren's previous series of strange words and deeds.
He couldn't help but look cold and trembled all over.
"Mr. Lu, are you trying to hurt me?"
"Brother Mingjie, you are joking. We are good brothers. How could I hurt you? I am not fighting with this sinister and vicious person now.
Do women negotiate terms? "
Zhao Mingjie was so angry that his teeth were about to break.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Lanyue shouted at Lu Ren: "Let me out of the city quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword!"
In order to show that what she said was true, she began to exert force with her sword-holding hand.
The sharp blade cut Zhao Mingjie's skin bit by bit, and a blood line appeared on his neck, and it was still deepening.
After feeling the striking pain, Zhao Mingjie finally panicked.
He begged Lu Ren with a sad face: "Lord Lu, I just said something rude and offended you, please save me quickly, this crazy woman is really going to kill me..."
Zhang Lanyue also stared at Lu Ren, waiting for his statement.
However, Lu Ren said to her righteously: "Zhang Lanyue, as a lieutenant of the Demon Suppression Division, how can I let a treacherous and evil person like you go just because of the life and death of a friend? Don't be delusional, put down your sword and surrender!"
Zhang Lanyue was puzzled: "You don't even care about your friend's life or death?"
Zhao Mingjie cried: "This girl, you misunderstood, Lu Ren and I are not friends at all, those words just now are purely made up by him, there is no such thing, you have been deceived."
"What?" Zhang Lanyue was stunned, and her hands trembled, causing Zhao Mingjie's wailing to become more tragic.
"Girl, even if you kill me, he will still be indifferent, it is better to let me go and strive for a chance of leniency."
Zhang Lanyue ignored what Zhao Mingjie said, and stared at Lu Ren with a pair of eyes.
The latter smiled and shrugged, the meaning was already very clear.
What Zhao Mingjie said was true, she was deceived by Lu Ren!
"You guessed that I was going to escape, so you deliberately used this method to lure me into action? ”
“If you guessed it right, I will reward you with a pair of iron shackles, how about that?”
“Why?” Zhang Lanyue asked in confusion.
Since Lu Ren guessed her intention, why did he go to such lengths to create an illusion for her to escape?
“If I don’t do this, how can I legitimately put you in jail?”
After saying this, Lu Ren stopped smiling and angrily said, “Zhang Lanyue, you committed a crime in the street and tried to assassinate Zhao Mingjie, the young master of the Zhao family. You are so audacious! Come on, take this thief down and put him in the jail of the Demon Suppression Division! "
Zhang Lanyue and Qin Zhen's group are missing, and this matter will certainly attract the attention of Muyang Sect.
It is not difficult to find Baoguang Mountain with a little investigation.
Although the body has been dealt with, Zhang Lanyue is still alive.
He imprisoned her in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division for no reason. Even if the news is blocked, it is hard to guarantee that the news will not spread.
Muyang Sect will definitely come to ask for her after knowing it.
Lu Ren did not have any solid evidence of Zhang Lanyue's crime, and it was untenable to imprison her.
Muyang Sect Once they came to ask for someone, he had no reason to refuse.
Once Zhang Lanyue regained her freedom, the matter of Baoguang Mountain would be made public.
His killing of Qin Zhen would inevitably reach the ears of his master.
Lu Ren clearly remembered that Qin Zhen mentioned that his master was a strong man in the Tuohai Realm, whose strength was above the Condensation Realm.
Before he grew up, being targeted by such a strong man, the pressure he faced was extraordinary.
Therefore, Zhang Lanyue must stay in prison and no one is allowed to visit.
As for the evidence?
It doesn't matter if there is none , he can just find a way to create it himself.
As luck would have it, Zhao Mingjie came to offer his head, so Lu Ren naturally took advantage of the situation and seized this opportunity.
Regardless of whether Zhang Lanyue killed Zhao Mingjie in the end, the crime had been established, and there were so many people around who witnessed it.
Even if Muyang Sect came to find him, it would not be reasonable.
At this time, a group of demon-suppressing guards who came after hearing the news surrounded Zhang Lanyue.
Zhang Lanyue, who knew that he had nowhere to escape, was pale at this moment, and his sword-holding hand was shaking constantly.
It turned out that.. ......She herself had ruined her glimmer of hope for escape.
If she hadn't attacked Zhao Mingjie just now, even though Lu Ren was the captain of the Demon Suppression School, he would not have the right to imprison her. As long as she waited for Muyang Sect to come, she would be free again.
But now......it's too late.
She looked at the bloody mark on Zhao Mingjie's neck that she had cut, and she couldn't help but lose all hope.
Lu Ren would definitely hold on to this charge, and she would never have a chance to escape from his clutches.
Unless........
