For some reason, looking at this date that Dongli Lucang had been preparing for for who knows how long, Yunzhi's eyes felt a little hot.
She silently put the form away and said to Dongli Lucang, "I will look at it carefully and give you an answer in a couple of days."
While Yunzhi and Dongli Lucang were talking, An Xiuyuan's men finally cornered Hu Dachun in a dilapidated temple outside the city.
Hu Dachun had originally been keeping an eye on Yunzhi, but then he heard the news that Wang Yuzhen had been driven to the temple.
Hu Dachun deeply loved Wang Yuzhen, and upon hearing this news, he was naturally extremely worried. Therefore, he no longer cared about keeping an eye on Yunzhi and went directly out of the city to the temple where Wang Yuzhen was staying.
However, before he even arrived at his destination and met Wang Yuzhen, he was stopped by the people An Xiuyuan had hired.
"Who are you, and what do you want?" Hu Dachun looked at the group blocking his way, becoming wary. Although he was skilled in martial arts, he couldn't fight off four opponents. He couldn't gauge the strength of these three, nor did he know if he could defeat them.
Therefore, he planned to try diplomacy first, then resort to force. If there was absolutely no other way and he had to take action, then it wouldn't be too late.
"The ones who will take your life," the other party replied coldly. They'd taken the money, so they were obligated to take Hu Dachun's life.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Hu Dachun immediately thought of one person: An Xiuyuan. He then sneered and said, "An Xiuyuan sent you, didn't he?"
The newcomer did not answer, but instead launched an attack directly on Hu Dachun.
Hu Dachun hadn't expected his opponent to attack so suddenly, so he had no choice but to fight back. The two quickly clashed. Although Hu Dachun was skilled in martial arts, he wasn't a top-tier expert, and given that one punch couldn't defeat four hands, he was soon defeated and fell to the ground.
As he prepared to rise, a long sword was pointed at his chest. The man holding the sword looked down at him and said, "Die!"
After saying that, he exerted force with his hand, and the tip of the sword pierced Hu Dachun's chest.
Hu Dachun stared wide-eyed, his face filled with resentment. He hadn't expected to die so easily, not only failing to see his beloved woman one last time, but also failing to avenge her.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have left the city today, but would have stayed in the city until he found an opportunity to help his beloved woman vent her anger.
It's a pity, but it's too late for him to regret it now.
Hu Dachun closed his eyes as he thought about it.
Meanwhile, in a nearby temple, Wang Yuzhen was feeling uneasy. For some reason, she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen, so much so that she couldn't concentrate on copying the Buddhist scriptures.
Time passed slowly, and she grew increasingly restless, causing the maidservants serving her to worry and ask, "Madam, are you alright?"
"It's nothing!" Wang Yuzhen shook her head first, then said to the maid, "Go and find out in a bit, see if anything has happened."
"Yes!" The maid nodded, responded, and went out.
But no sooner had the maid left than a sound came from her courtyard. There was a thud, and something had fallen into her yard.
Wang Yuzhen was startled and wanted to go out to see what was happening, but she didn't dare to. It wasn't until quite a while later that she mustered up the courage to go out.
When they got to the courtyard, they saw Hu Dachun lying on the ground, covered in blood.
With a scream of "Ah!", Wang Yuzhen was quite frightened.
