Chapter 71 You Stay with Me



Chapter 71 You Stay with Me

Jiang Jiu's clear eyes flashed, and he stared at Zhao Li's eyes for a long time before nodding.

"Okay, I'll go with you, but now is not the time..."

Zhao Li's eyes suddenly tightened, and his expression became tense: "Why? When is the right time?"

Jiang Jiu pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "I just disbanded Yiye Pingzhou, and the Six Plus Three I founded is not yet stable. What's more, I haven't found the things my mother left for me, so I can't just leave casually."

"Besides, if we go to the capital at this time and offend the Ninth Prince, his men will definitely chase us relentlessly. If we rely on just you and me, we will probably die before we can even reach the capital."

Zhao Li frowned tightly, raised his chin slightly and looked at Jiang Jiu, with a hint of vigilance flashing in his puzzled eyes.

"So what do you think we should do now?"

Jiang Jiu patted Zhao Li's shoulder gently and said, "It's okay. The Ninth Prince is just after money. As long as you say you are my hired bodyguard, he won't make things difficult for you."

Zhao Li's slender eyes flashed, and after pondering for a long time, he nodded slightly.

"Okay, as you say. However, from now on, I will be by your side all the time, protecting you and taking care of you."

Jiang Jiu nodded slightly, pulled open his clothes and checked his wounds.

"Lie down and rest for a while. Your wound is bleeding. I'll go and reapply the medicine to you."

Only then did Zhao Li feel the pain from the wound on his chest suffocating him. He suddenly sat back on the bed, and Jiang Jiu helped him lie down slowly. He covered himself with a quilt and slowly closed his eyes.

Jiang Jiu patted his hands and said, "Take good care of yourself. I'll get you some medicine."

Just when Jiang Jiu was about to leave, Zhao Li suddenly grabbed her hand.

"You must stay away from the Ninth Prince. Although he is young, he has a deep mind. You can't handle him. Go and come back quickly."

Jiang Jiu nodded slowly: "I understand, don't worry, I will be on guard against him."

After closing the door, Jiang Jiu turned his head and was caught off guard by Lu Yunyang's handsome but angry face.

But just when Lu Yunyang was about to question her, Jiang Jiu suddenly covered his mouth.

"Hush..." Pulling Lu Yunyang, Jiang Jiu took him directly to the empty kitchen.

"Who is he?" Lu Yunyang couldn't help but get angry when Jiang Jiu let go.

Jiang Jiu shook his head: "I said I don't know him either, do you believe me?"

Lu Yunyang shook his head instinctively at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded.

"I heard what he just said to you, it's not true..."

Jiang Jiu's eyes flickered: "Of course, I've been with you for so long, don't I know your personality? I don't even trust you, so how can I trust an outsider? Isn't that stupid?"

Although Lu Yunyang was coaxed by Jiang Jiu, he was still angry: "Then you are still like that with him..."

Jiang Jiu was annoyed and pushed Lu Yunyang hard: "It's an accident, do you understand?"

"What accident? I think that man has bad intentions towards you. Besides, you promised him to keep him by your side." Lu Yunyang pursed his lips angrily.

Jiang Jiu glanced at Lu Yunyang and said, "Since I don't know him, I must keep him by my side. Some lies will be exposed if they are repeated too many times. If I don't keep him by my side, how can I know whether what he said is true or false?"

Jiang Jiu knew that Lu Yunyang must be eavesdropping outside the house, but she didn't know how much he had overheard. She didn't know if Lu Yunyang heard what Zhao Li had just said, that the Ninth Prince was the one who plotted to kill her mother.

Lu Yunyang snorted several times in anger, and suddenly found that Jiang Jiu's neck was cut by a dagger. Although there was no bleeding, the bright red mark on the snow-white neck was still shocking to him.

"You have a wound on your neck. Let me take a look."

You wouldn't know it if you didn't say it. After being reminded by him, Jiang Jiu used the water in the water tank as a mirror. He took a closer look and saw that there was indeed a scar. It was very obvious, but not serious.

"It's okay..."

Lu Yunyang had already taken out a bottle of ointment from his arms: "No, I won't allow my woman to get hurt..."

Jiang Jiu had no choice but to lift his chin and let Lu Yunyang apply medicine to him.

He is indeed good-looking, with fair skin, peach blossom eyes, and eyes that are so affectionate when they look at you. He has a straight nose and delicate facial features. Such a handsome man, Jiang Jiu couldn't help but be moved.

It was still late autumn, the leaves rustled in the wind, incense was burning in the Zen temple, and the air was filled with the scent of sandalwood. It was such a huge temple, but at this time there was no one walking around.

The surroundings were as quiet as the whole world, with only her and Lu Yunyang left.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The ringing of the bell in the temple suddenly sobered Jiang Jiu up and put away her worldly thoughts. However, she suddenly found that Lu Yunyang's rosy lips were only half an inch away from her, and his warm breath blew on her face, feeling hot and itchy.

Jiang Jiu pushed him away suddenly, her face flushed with shame, and she covered her pounding heart with her hands.

"Sorry, this is a temple..."

Lu Yunyang was caught off guard by her push, and his eyes, which had been gentle just now, became sharp and cold in an instant.

She has changed...

If it were in the past, when he wanted to kiss her, she might be shy or embarrassed, but she would definitely not have this expression.

It seems that she believed what that person said.

Suddenly, Lu Yunyang stepped forward and put one hand on the wall to block her way.

"Jiang Jiu, don't forget your identity?"

Jiang Jiu glared: "Is there anyone else here? Who are you acting for? Who am I?"

Lu Yunyang used a little strength in his hand: "If I were Lu Yunyang, you would be my wife. If I were the King of Qi, you would be my concubine. In short, you are my woman..."

Jiang Jiu rolled his eyes at him with disdain and tried to squeeze out from under his arm, but Lu Yunyang suddenly grabbed his chin.

"Remember, you are my woman, don't think about other men in your heart."

Jiang Jiu struggled, but the more she struggled, the more excited Lu Yunyang became. He pinched her chin and was about to kiss her.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Lu Yunyang was hit by Jiang Jiu's knee, and he screamed out in pain. His face turned red and his neck was thick. He felt so sore that he couldn't say it or scream...

"You scoundrel, you have even learned how to force others. I'll teach you a lesson. Let's see if you dare to do it again."

Jiang Jiu just left Lu Yunyang in the kitchen and left leisurely.

Lu Yunyang stood there with his back bent and holding onto the wall. It took him a long time to recover. He didn't know when Lu Ming came. Looking at him, the expression on his face was both teasing and embarrassed.

"Master, you, why are you doing this? This Buddhist Pure Land..."

Lu Yunyang was so angry that he cursed, "Get lost! It hurts me so much! If this happened in the palace, I would definitely make her suffer."

Lu Minggan laughed: "Even if it's in the palace, the master won't be willing to leave."

"Master, your birthday gift for Miss Jiang is ready."

Lu Ming took out a wooden box and handed it to Lu Yunyang.

Lu Yunyang opened it and found an exquisite pearl hairpin.

Regaining his former dignity, he pointed to the room where Zhao Li lived.

"Is there a man named Zhao Li under Cang Jiu? Go check him out. I want to know his information as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming didn't even check, but answered directly.

"Master, yes, this man is one of our assassins. At the same time, he is also Miss Jiang Jiu's secret guard. Three years ago, when he joined us, we had already found out."
