Chapter 8 The Commander's Excessive Pampering of His Wife
Moreover, the person who brought this danger was the emperor.
Having served the emperor for so many years, he had a certain understanding of him.
The Emperor wouldn't say such a thing without a reason.
Lu Yan's eyes were filled with a cold expression.
He realized that there was no one else around except him and the emperor.
The Song emperor truly trusted him, entrusting his own life to him.
The next second, Lu Yan's sword was pressed against the Song Emperor's neck. "You had someone harm her?"
Emperor Song was startled. "Lu Yan, what are you doing?"
He was able to become emperor, so he was certainly not a fool.
He shouldn't have said so much.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make, and now Lu Yan has realized it.
Emperor Song glanced down at the sword pressed against his neck and said calmly, "Lu Yan, for the sake of your many years of service to me, I will let this go this time."
He glanced at Lu Yan and continued, "Don't you want wealth, honor, high office, and generous salary?"
"Is it worth it for a woman?" Emperor Song narrowed his eyes.
The Song emperor did not believe that anyone would give up high office and great wealth for a woman.
As for Lu Yan, he was the first person to dare hold a sword to his neck.
Just wait, when his men arrive, he won't let Lu Yan stay alive.
As for Lu Yan's wife, Emperor Song was certain she was gone.
Upon learning of Lu Yan's accident, she would definitely leave the manor.
As soon as she leaves the manor, his men will find an opportunity to kill her, so that others won't use her to threaten Lu Yan.
Only if she dies will Lu Yan be completely at his disposal. That way, no one will disrupt his plans.
With a flick of Lu Yan's hand, the sword pressed against the Song Emperor's neck slit his throat.
The Song emperor was utterly incredulous.
He never expected that Lu Yan would actually make a move against him.
Lu Yan isn't stupid.
He even held a sword to the emperor's neck.
If the Emperor were still alive, he would never have let him go...
Moreover, and most importantly, he was a man of the former crown prince.
Ten years have passed, and Murong Chen (the former crown prince) is ready to reclaim the Murong family's throne.
Since the Emperor has orchestrated this whole charade to lure the enemy out, and now that the Song Emperor is all alone, wouldn't it be a waste not to seize this opportunity to kill him?
Under the incredulous gaze of the Song Emperor, Lu Yan directly beheaded him.
He walked out of the cave, took out five ordinary signal flares from his pocket, and sent two long and one short signal flares to Murong Chen (the former crown prince).
Not long after, Murong Chen arrived with his men.
Emperor Song was unaware that Murong Chen was still alive; he always believed that the Prime Minister and the Grand Tutor harbored ambitions to seize the throne.
Murong Chen dismounted. "Lu Yan."
Lu Yan grabbed the horse from the man to Murong Chen's left, mounted it, and said, "Emperor Song is dead; he's in a cave."
"I need to go back to the capital now, because I'm afraid something might happen to my wife."
Although he left enough people around her, he was still worried.
He couldn't wait to leave.
Murong Chen stared at Lu Yan's face, which bore a resemblance to his own, and stopped him, "Wait a minute."
He pulled a leather mask from his pocket and tossed it to Lu Yan. "Put this on, or I'm afraid they'll stop you."
After all, everyone in the capital knew that Lu Yan had disappeared along with the Song Emperor.
If he were to appear, the people in the capital would certainly stop him.
Lu Yan caught it and nodded, saying, "Okay."
He quickly put on the human skin mask and said to Murong Chen, "I'm leaving. See you in the capital."
After saying this, he rode his horse towards the capital...
The next day
Lu Yan encountered his bodyguard, An Wu, face to face.
Because Lu Yan was wearing a human skin mask, An Wu did not recognize him.
Just as they were passing each other, Lu Yan called out to An Wu, asking anxiously, "An Wu, is Madam alright? Did Madam send you out to find me?"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Anwu abruptly stopped.
He turned to look at Lu Yan.
He looked at the unfamiliar face and paused for a moment, but he still recognized Lu Yan because of Lu Yan's eyes.
Anwu: "Reporting to my lord, the lady is alright."
"Madam was worried about your safety, so she sent us out to look for you."
Lu Yan: !!!
"Is An Yi in the manor?"
Anwu: "Anyi and the Shadow Guards are all in the mansion guarding the lady."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
