Chapter 353: A Bounty Order

Mo Yunzhu was dining with Zhuo Hongli, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Zhuo Yu couldn't even eat when he saw his adoptive father diligently picking up food for Mo Yunzhu.

Originally, I wanted him to marry Mo Yunzhu, but now it seems that this old guy wants to marry himself.

If Mo Yunzhu hadn't often advised him to stay calm and to be patient, he would have really wanted to tear off the old man's sinister face.

Although I was grateful for his upbringing, the contributions I made to Wanyao Pavilion after growing up are enough to repay him.

The fact that he adopted him was also his own decision. His original intention was not good, and he did not care about his daily life. He just grew up through intensive training.

But he was still grateful. No matter what, Zhuo Hongli did not kill him as planned, which gave him a chance to survive and a chance to take revenge in the future.

"Uncle Zhuo, the Emperor should know everything I did and should have investigated me thoroughly. Do you think I will be unable to get out if I go to the villa again this time?"

Zhuo Hongli frowned and said, "No, the emperor will weigh the pros and cons. What you have done is not enough to make him turn against you. But Qin Bazi is a deep man and may be bad for you. You should be careful when you go out. I will let Uncle Zhou follow you."

Mo Yunzhu immediately shook her head and said, "Uncle Zhuo, I will be careful. Anyway, I have Commander Xiao Cheng and Chang Teng to protect me, so nothing will happen."

"What is Cheng Linhan's attitude this time?" Zhuo Hongli asked.

"Commander Xiao Cheng is quite good. He also dislikes Young Master Qin and deliberately helped me conceal the fact that I treated the emperor, so that Young Master Qin would think that I was just an ordinary doctor, so he dared to attack me."

"So he did it on purpose?"

"He is a city guard, and he hopes that the people of the imperial capital can live and work in peace. This Second Young Master Qin is a scumbag, so he naturally hopes to use my hand to get rid of him."

Zhuo Hongli lowered his eyes and said, "Yun Zhu, are you venting your anger for Jun Huolan?"

"Of course. I am the future princess of Lan after all. It would be fine if I didn't know, but now that I know my fiancé is being humiliated by so many people here, I must avenge him." Mo Yunzhu looked righteous.

Zhuo Hongli suddenly tightened his grip in his heart. He didn't like her saying that she was the future Princess Lan, nor did he like him saying that Jun Huolan was her fiancé.

But this was indeed the fact, and it made him realize that everything he did for her was not fair enough.

And she just treated him as an elder with whom she had a good relationship.

This thought made him wonder if he was being too slow, and whether he should make clear the purpose of his protection of her.

But I'm afraid if I say it out loud, she will look down on me or even hate me.

Zhuo Yu nodded and said, "Prince Lan has suffered too much. Those people went too far. They really deserve to suffer. Anyway, you didn't take their lives. Even if the emperor knew about this, he probably wouldn't say anything."

Mo Yunzhu nodded and said, "If you think I'm doing something wrong, I'll let him continue to feel pain and see who can hold it in."

Mo Yunzhu's arrogant look surprised Zhuo Hongli. Would she treat him like this?

After all, he needed her to relieve the pain from his Yin-bone poison, which would begin to attack tomorrow night.

Zhuo Yu immediately smiled and said, "Yes, if he dares to harm you, just let him die in pain."

These words were suggestive, and Zhuo Hongli's expression became a little abnormal.

Mo Yunzhu smiled and said, "I really want to see their reactions. By the way, Uncle Zhuo, do I have to go to the other courtyard again the day after tomorrow morning?"

Zhuo Hongli nodded and said, "Yes, Cheng Linhan will take you there, and I will come to see you if I have nothing to do here."

"Can I come out anytime?"

Zhuo Hongli thought for a moment and said, "One week at most. If you are not allowed to come out, how about I come and pick you up?"

Mo Yunzhu nodded happily and said, "Then Uncle Zhuo, please remember this."

Zhuo Hongli smiled and thought to herself what was the point of having Jun Huolan as her fiancé, since she didn't need him the most.

That night, after Zhuo Yu and Mo Yunzhu had dinner, Zhuo Yu took a walk to see Mo Yunzhu back to Yunhe Courtyard.

Although the moon was almost full and the ground was filled with moonlight, there were not many people on the street and it was still pitch dark.

"Cough cough." A cough sounded from the alley on the side.

Mo Yunzhu and Zhuo Yu turned around to look, while Chang Teng and Cheng Linhan who were following behind them almost drew their swords.

"It's me." The deep voice made Zhuo Yu and Mo Yunzhu know who it was instantly, but Cheng Linhan couldn't hear it.

Zhuo Yu walked over and said a few words, then walked out. Because it was dark in the shadow of the alley, Cheng Linhan could only see a tall man.

"Looking for you." Zhuo Yu said to Mo Yunzhu.

Mo Yunzhu knew that the person coming was Xu Haoqin, and nodded, "You guys go to the front and wait for me."

Cheng Linhan took a step forward, wanting to see who it was, but was stopped by Zhuo Yu, who said in a low voice, "Little Commander Cheng, there's no need to stare at him so closely, right?"

Cheng Linhan's mouth twitched slightly, but he finally stepped back.

"I'm just a little curious about Miss Mo's friend."

"She has a lot of friends. Do you have to get to know all of them?" Zhuo Yu said contemptuously.

Cheng Linhan did not answer, but stared into the alley. Unfortunately, it was dark inside and he could not see clearly.

In the alley, Xu Haoqin knew that tomorrow night was the full moon day, and Mo Yunzhu would definitely force herself to go to the Royal Villa the day after tomorrow, so he came to say hello.

Of course he has something more important to do.

"Lord Qin went to Tianji Pavilion and offered 12,000 taels of gold to capture you alive." Xu Haoqin could see Mo Yunzhu's outstanding facial features from a close distance.

"So fast?" Mo Yunzhu was very surprised. She didn't expect Qin Bazi to find a killer so quickly.

"Yes, I placed an order in the afternoon, but Tianji Pavilion didn't accept it."

"Ah, he didn't answer it. Isn't it a waste of ten thousand taels of gold?" Mo Yunzhu felt a little regretful.

Qin Bazi is the Minister of Revenue and the national treasury is under his control. He is really rich.

Xu Haoqin laughed dumbly and said, "Tianji Pavilion is going to take it. If we don't do anything, it will be a bad reputation."

"If you don't answer, won't Qin Wangba doubt the relationship between Tianji Pavilion and me?"

"We have already informed him that we at Tianji Pavilion have already found out your identity. We at Tianji Pavilion do not want to cause trouble by involving the royal family, so we will not accept the call."

"So he has given up?" Mo Yunzhu said.

Xu Haoqin said: "How is it possible? Young Master Qin has become a cripple. How can Qin Wangba accept such a loss? Does he still have the dignity to live up to it?"

"So he's planning to send someone to arrest me himself?" Mo Yunzhu raised her eyebrows.

"No, he turned around and went to the secret building to place a bounty order. If you can be captured and handed over to him, you will be rewarded with 12,000 taels of gold."

"Dark building?" Mo Yunzhu heard it for the first time.

"It's a place where people from the underworld gather. It's a place known to all the underworld people in the five countries. It's just an ordinary tavern.

Because over time, the people in the underworld have become accustomed to going there, so it is called the Dark Building. News from there will spread quickly, so once the wanted order is issued, the people in the underworld of the five countries will quickly know about it, and the desperate criminals will definitely rush here as fast as possible.
