Chapter 284 Lu Chenzhou is dead
At this time, Lu Chenzhou still didn't understand something.
Su Changxue might have already rebelled!
Everything has a reason.
That's why they were able to capture the city so easily, and Shenli Valley completely lost contact with him!
The power of Shenli Valley disappeared overnight, as if it had never existed.
But why did Su Changxue, who had been with him till the end in his previous life, betray him in this life?!
"When did you..." Lu Chenzhou's voice was hoarse. It took him all his strength to say a word at this moment. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from his broken lungs.
He stared at Su Changxue intently, and his eyes, which were once full of vigor and vitality, were now filled with endless grayness.
"Why... did you betray me?"
Su Changxue looked at him indifferently, and that was always the way he looked at people.
It was like a spectator from outside the world, with an almost cruel divinity.
But Lu Chenzhou discovered that it was not like this at all when he looked at Lin Zhaoyue just now.
Even though he knew that Su Changxue was interested in Chu Yinyin in his previous life, he had never seen such a look in his eyes.
"It's just a matter of choosing a wise master to live under. Prince Lu, you don't even understand this, do you?" His clear voice was almost indifferent.
"Prince Lu couldn't give me what I wanted, and he wasn't the person I was looking for. Naturally, I gave up on him."
"What's more—" His next words were an even crueler blow, "Prince Lu is not as good as Her Royal Highness the Princess."
In Lin Zhaoyue's words, Xiao Tingye was like a sharp divine weapon unsheathed, and he was not afraid to kill people, but he could always torture people to death with the most brutal and cruel means.
Su Changxue is different. Su Changxue is a soft knife, but every blow is fatal and can accurately hit people's pain points.
Just like now, his words are not unpleasant.
But it made Lu Chenzhou's face even paler, and his shaky figure looked like the last dead leaf in the autumn wind.
The bluestone slabs were still covered with the snow that fell last night, but at this moment, they were all stained with blood.
Lu Chenzhou looked at Lin Zhaoyue with an infatuated gaze, his eyes filled with sorrow and desolation. "Have you already thought of this day?"
"Yue'er... since the day you awakened, you have been thinking about this day and wanted to kill me with your own hands... right?"
Lin Zhaoyue looked at him calmly, her eyes full of indifference.
He held himself up firmly to avoid falling.
But anyone could see that Lu Chenzhou was already at the end of his strength.
It seemed as if a gust of wind would cause him to fall down and die.
Like weeds that have been set on fire, they were completely burned by the wildfire.
Lin Zhaoyue said coldly, "From the moment you coveted my Great Xia Empire, you were destined to die at my hands. Do you understand?"
Lu Chenzhou suddenly laughed, a laugh that was both shrill and insane: "I only regret that I woke up too late... If I had woken up earlier, the situation wouldn't be like this now..."
His knees could no longer bear the weight of his body and he fell to the ground, but blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth and his body.
Soon, his blood had formed a river where he was.
But his voice continued to sound intermittently, "Tell me, why do I want that position? Because you are the high and mighty Princess Zhaohua... You have the power to accept or reject me. If I don't reach that position... I will always be able to please you, always wait for you to approach, always... longing for your love, your eyes, humbly begging for your mercy..."
"But I seem to be addicted to the pleasure that position brings, the power that it brings... over everyone else... Otherwise, how could I forget how much I love you? I've loved you for so long, from our youth to our marriage..."
Xiao Tingye frowned and his face turned cold.
He was laughing crazily, and he seemed to be out of his mind.
He looked at Xiao Tingye, his voice growing weaker and weaker, his eyes starting to blur. "Xiao Tingye... You can't beat me. I just lost to her."
"You can't have her. How can someone like you get her?"
Lu Chenzhou's eyes had completely lost focus, and he murmured:
"It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this..."
"We should be together this time..."
"Next time, I'll just come back earlier. I must... If I could come back earlier, I'd get what I wanted..."
In a trance, he seemed to see the girl who smiled at him when he was a teenager.
He knew she was waiting for him.
This time, he won't be too late.
His sorrowful and hoarse voice was tinged with anticipation: "Yue'er...wait for me..."
When the last word fell.
With a dull "bang", his body suddenly fell to the ground.
He also smashed the snow on the ground, creating a circle of depressions.
Looking at Lu Chenzhou's gradually cold body, Lin Zhaoyue's long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Although she had imagined this day countless times.
But when I actually saw him die.
A huge weight fell from her heart, and she felt an inexplicable sense of regret.
Xiao Tingye took two steps forward.
He thrust the long knife in his hand straight into Lu Chenzhou's chest.
Then he pulled it out brazenly amid the sound of flesh rubbing against each other.
He casually shook off the blood droplets on the blade and said calmly: "Be careful, there is a trap."
This was said in a high-sounding manner, as if the fierce finishing blow just now was just a cautious move.
The knife he just struck was just a test to see if it was a trick.
But Lin Zhaoyue felt that his behavior was like a personal vendetta.
Su Changxue also frowned slightly.
Is Xiao Tingye always like this?
Stab someone even when they're dead?
If that is true.
He would have to be more cautious if such a person were to stay with the princess in the future.
Xiao Tingye then shouted coldly, "The rebel is dead. The rest of you, either surrender or lay down your arms. Otherwise, your heads will become the military merits of our Great Xia soldiers!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining guards looked at each other in bewilderment, and the sounds of weapons falling to the ground rang out one after another.
A steel knife fell to the ground with a clang!
Lu Chenzhou's death put an end to the rebellion that had lasted for several months.
The cold wind swept across the city wall, carrying the smell of blood. Lin Zhaoyue looked at the corpse on the ground that was gradually getting colder, and the waves in her eyes finally subsided.
All the troubles in his past life and the entanglements in this life came to an end at this moment.
She turned slowly and didn't look at him again.
Xiao Tingye sheathed his sword and scanned the surroundings. After confirming that there were no more threats, he said in a deep voice, "Clear the battlefield and take the surrendered soldiers into custody."
Su Changxue stood aside, his expression still indifferent, but his gaze lingered on the corpse on the ground for a moment, then quickly shifted away.
He was not a talkative person, and he had nothing to say at this moment.
I just feel that Lu Chenzhou's ending today is a bit sad.
And the killing star's fate that he had originally seen in him seemed to have completely disappeared from him.
The mysteries of heaven were obscure, and the path of fate was unpredictable. He could no longer glimpse the mysterious trajectory of heaven.
Fortunately, he made the right choice.
Lin Zhaoyue walked forward, the soles of her boots stepping on the blood-stained snow, leaving a series of shallow marks.
Su Changxue also looked at her figure moving forward.
He chose Lin Zhaoyue not only because she was more suitable to be a wise leader than Lu Chenzhou, but also because of her almost ruthless clarity.
She will not let personal feelings ruin her work, nor will she lose her mind because of hatred.
Like that arrow, it was both a gamble and a test of courage.
This kind of mentality made his original admiration for her turn into a wholehearted following.
