Chapter 174
The truth is that the two of them are always together.
Unless Li Yan gets the news and rushes to snatch her away, or the leader personally comes to negotiate with the Demon Suppression Division.
In either case, Zhang Lanyue feels that the possibility is very small.
Although she doesn't want to admit it, the fact is that Li Yan's attitude towards her has gradually become colder in the past two years.
In the past, the two of them didn't feel bored when they were together every day, but now they are always apart. It's hard to see each other, and Li Yan's intercourse with her is like a routine, and the process is extremely perfunctory.
He left with various reasons after paying the grain once, and didn't care whether she was satisfied or not.
Zhang Lanyue thought that if she helped Li Yan win the spot in the Tianjiao Hunting, she would have a chance to make Li Yan change his mind and never leave her for the rest of his life.
But the current situation may just give him a legitimate reason to get rid of her.
With this thought, Zhang Lanyue felt extremely bitter.
If she had known this, she should not have chased and killed the lotus monster that was following her, and naturally she would not have met Lu Ren and the subsequent series of events.
She looked at Lu Ren with complicated eyes, and her bloodless lips were bitten.
Lu Ren waved his hand indifferently and said to his demon-suppressing guards: "Take her away!"
"Yes, Lord Lu!"
Zhang Lanyue's weapons were confiscated, and two tall and strong demon-suppressing guards escorted her back to the government office to await her fate.
The demon-suppressing guards who escorted her were ordinary demon-suppressing guards, whose cultivation was only in the middle and late stages of the initial sense realm. With her strength, she could kill with one blow.
But Zhang Lanyue really accepted her fate this time.
The attempted assassination of Zhao Mingjie was neither light nor heavy.
But if she openly resisted arrest in the county city, or even injured or killed the demon-suppressing guards, there would be no turning back.
Although the hope of being rescued was slim, Zhang Lanyue still wanted to wait for Li Yan until the last moment.
If Li Yan ignored her, she could only blame her for being wrong and loving the wrong person. All her efforts over the years would be wasted!
After watching Zhang Lanyue being taken away, Lu Ren smiled and patted Zhao Mingjie on the shoulder.
"Brother Mingjie, thank you for your cooperation just now."
Zhao Mingjie glared at him with a sullen face, and countless dirty words were brewing in his heart.
But in the end, he still suppressed his anger, squeezed out a faint smile, and said: "It is my honor to help Lord Lu capture the thief girl."
The words sounded nice, but his expression was obviously uglier than his father's death.
Lu Ren used him as bait to lure Zhang Lanyue into action, but he didn't care about his life or death.
If Zhang Lanyue was more crazy and really killed him, wouldn't he have died in vain?
And because it was Zhang Lanyue who did it, Lu Ren could stay out of it perfectly, and the Zhao family couldn't do anything to him.
This feeling of being used as cannon fodder made Zhao Mingjie very angry and unhappy.
However, due to Lu Ren's status and strength as a six-star lieutenant, even the entire Zhao family could hardly compete with him.
Moreover, since ancient times, people who offended the Demon Suppression Division have no good end.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger and silently swallow this loss.
Accompanied by his companions, Zhao Mingjie walked past Lu Ren and went straight to a nearby clinic to bandage his wounds.
In the crowd, I don't know who took the lead, everyone applauded and praised Lu Ren's righteous style when arresting the murderer.
Amidst the cheers, Lu Ren returned to his newly bought house in a low-key manner.
As soon as he opened the door, a fragrant breeze blew in his face.
Then, a delicate body got into his arms.
Jiang Xiulian raised her head, looked into Lu Ren's eyes with tears in her eyes, and asked with sobs: "Lu Ren, how is my mother?"
Lu Ren's heart moved, and he wanted to tease her, so he shook his head seriously: "I'm sorry, I'm late, your mother may have been poached by someone, and it's not clear whether she is alive or dead now..."
Hearing this answer, Jiang Xiulian's eyes went dark, and her body suddenly softened and fell into Lu Ren's arms.
Then, crying gradually rose.
She cried very softly and forbearingly, but Lu Ren could feel the grief in her heart.
Realizing that the joke was a bit too much, he quickly leaned close to Jiang Xiulian's ear and said in a mean voice: "Okay, stop crying, I was just teasing you, your mother is safe and sound, nothing happened."
"Really?" Jiang Xiulian stopped crying and asked doubtfully.
"Of course it's true, have you forgotten what I promised you?"
Jiang Xiulian raised her hand to wipe away her tears and gently
Said: "You said that my mother came back after I cleaned the house spotlessly."
"So, did you clean it?"
"Yes." Jiang Xiulian nodded fiercely: "Go in and take a look, I have swept every corner repeatedly."
Lu Ren followed her into the yard.
As she said, the huge house was really spotless and clean as new.
To achieve this level, it takes a lot of effort.
It is not difficult to see how sincere and strong Jiang Xiulian's determination to save her mother is.
After taking Lu Ren on a tour, Jiang Xiulian finally couldn't help asking: "Lu Ren, where is my mother, didn't she come back with us?"
Lu Ren briefly recounted what happened after he drove to Baoguang Mountain.
"I invited her to live in the county town, but she refused, saying that after a breakthrough, she would travel around the world to fulfill your father's long-cherished wish."
Jiang Xiulian heard this and smiled with relief: "My mother did mention this to me. It seems that she has completely gotten rid of the haze of my father's death and regained her spirits."
"This is also thanks to you helping her get the pill. Otherwise, she would be close to the end of her life and I'm afraid she would be powerless."
"Lu Ren, thank you!" Jiang Xiulian hugged Lu Ren's neck, her clear eyes were full of tenderness, and the corners of her mouth were filled with a happy smile.
"By the way, you just said that Zhang Lanyue went to Baoguang Mountain to hunt me down?"
"Yes, she must have discovered your whereabouts when you were in Shanyang County."
Jiang Xiulian said with a little self-blame: "I am really useless. I can't even track a person well, and I almost implicated my mother."
"It's not your fault. After all, that woman is a whole realm higher than you. It's reasonable for her to find you."
"What about her? Did you kill her?"
"No."
"Did she escape?"
"No, she has been imprisoned in the prison of the Demon Suppression Division. If you are interested, you can go and see."
"I won't go. I heard that the people imprisoned in the prison are all particularly bloody and cruel."
"Why, are you afraid?"
"Humph, who is afraid? I just don't like the way those people look at me."
"What about my eyes? Do you hate it?" Lu Ren's mouth curled up with an evil arc.
His eyes roamed over Jiang Xiulian's body aggressively.
Feeling Lu Ren's burning gaze, Jiang Xiulian's cheeks suddenly burned and she lowered her head shyly.
"Hate~~"
Hearing Jiang Xiulian's soft and coquettish voice, Lu Ren laughed, picked her up by the waist, and walked straight into the bedroom.
"Put me down, you stinky hooligan!!!"
Jiang Xiulian lay in Lu Ren's arms, blushing, and weakly pounding his chest.
This move was like adding fuel to the fire, arousing Lu Ren's strong desire for "revenge".
He threw Jiang Xiulian on the bed a little roughly, and then began to untie his belt slowly.
Jiang Xiulian covered her mouth in surprise when she saw the scene in front of her.
She hadn't done anything yet, but Lu Ren stood there, looking forward to it!
Recalling the experience in the hinterland of Qingfeng Mountain some time ago, Jiang Xiulian's face suddenly turned red, and her heart was beating like a deer.
After Lu Ren made a swinging gesture, Jiang Xiulian immediately understood his intention.
Tonight, both of her mouths will suffer...
But she didn't dislike it, and even looked forward to it.
Jiang Xiulian knelt on the edge of the bed, her pretty face looked at Lu Ren with a hot face, then her eyes slowly moved down and her lips slightly opened.
