The dim back

The next morning, the maids began to come in and report: "Miss, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you."

Zhang Yulu was very surprised. There should be no one else asking to see him at this time. Who could it be?

Zhang Yulu did not go to the front hall to eat. When she arrived at the door, she saw Liu Zhongqing walking towards the front hall.

Zhang Yulu was very surprised, because usually only Liu Zhongqing was looking for her, but it seemed that Liu Zhongqing was dead, so she went to the backyard to look for Qiu Feng.

Zhang Yulu didn't want to care about it anymore, so she came to the door.

Seeing the man standing at the door, Zhang Yulu was surprised: "How did you get here?"

Wu Yuan didn't show any surprise: "Don't forget what you promised me yesterday, but I want to go out for a walk today, can you take me around the capital?"

In order to fulfill his hospitality, Zhang Yulu had no choice but to nod and agree: "Why don't you come in and have your meal before leaving? Breakfast is ready."

Wu Yuan shook his head: "It's a good opportunity for the two of us to go out and catch up. There will be breakfast in the morning, so let's go out and eat something."

After hearing this, Wu Yuan walked over and Zhang Yulu had no choice but to follow behind.

The two men came to the tea room nearby, and just after they sat down, a wild horse ran over on the road.

The horse was about to get close to Zhang Yulu, and Zhang Yulu was so scared that she kept hiding to the side.

Wu Yuan immediately reached out and grabbed the horse's reins, and after he subdued the horse, he came over and looked at Zhang Yulu, "What's wrong with you? Are you scared?"

Zhang Yulu had just stood up when she suddenly fell down again. She touched her ankle and said, "It seems that I sprained my ankle. What should I do?"

Wu Yuan didn't care about anything else and picked up Zhang Yulu.

Zhang Yulu felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was engaged, and he didn't like stranger touches.

Zhang Yulu remembered that when Liu Zhongqing hugged her or carried her on his back, she was happy from the bottom of her heart and felt that someone really cared about her.

But this feeling disappeared completely when it touched Wu Yuan.

Zhang Yulu kept refusing: "You'd better put me down quickly. It would be so embarrassing if people saw me. Besides, I'm engaged."

Wu Yuan said shamelessly: "What's the big deal? You are not married yet, so you can cancel the engagement. I will ask the emperor for permission."

Zhang Yulu thought Wu Yuan was joking. "We're going to get married in half a year, why are you bothering me so much?"

Wu Yuan laughed loudly: "Are you going to marry into a wealthy family like Qiu Feng? Do you know that girl Qiu Feng? She is not as pure as she looks. This woman has a very vicious mind."

Zhang Yulu was surprised to hear Wu Yuan's comments about Qiu Feng: "How did you know him? Do you know Qiu Feng very well?"

Wu Yuan then took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Yulu: "You will know after reading this. Before I came here, I must have investigated my situation thoroughly to see what Qiu Feng did."

After Zhang Yulu opened the letter, she felt particularly excited. It turned out that it was a letter written by Qiu Feng himself, and his purpose was to seek peace and want to marry Wu Yuan.

Zhang Yulu was a little surprised: "How is this possible? He really likes Liu Zhongqing. He won't choose any other man except Liu Zhongqing. I think you are wishful thinking."

Wu Yuan pulled the letter over and laughed shamelessly: "They just want me to rescue their family members. I have heard about his father's affairs. Now Liu Zhongqing is running around non-stop, and there are also his old subordinates. In fact, I have a piece of evidence in my hand that can prove his innocence."

Zhang Yulu seemed to see hope, and hurriedly said, "Why don't you hand it over? Do you want to trade it for something?"

Wu Yuan nodded and said, "It seems that you are indeed a smart girl. I don't need to tell you what to do next. You should know what I want to do, right?"

Zhang Yulu was very depressed. "For my sake, the peace between the two countries will be damaged. I think this is not worthwhile at all. What is your purpose?"

Wu Yuan didn't want to hide it from Zhang Yulu: "I heard that Yiren Villa has a secret that cannot be told. I heard that Yiren Villa hides a group of very elite weapons. These weapons can wipe out all the people on the battlefield without a trace. I just want to get these things."

After listening to all this, Zhang Yulu told Wu Yuan very loyally: "I may disappoint you. I have never heard of these things in my life. Maybe these things really don't exist, but are just spread around."

Wu Yuan didn't think so: "Do you think I'm easy to deceive? Don't tell me such things again in the future. Even if you tell me, I won't be afraid. I still want to get this money, so I must win your girl."

After Wu Yuan said these words, he forcibly pulled Zhang Yulu to his side, and was about to press his body down.

Suddenly, a cold arrow shot from behind, and Wu Yuan, surprised, immediately turned over.

Zhang Yulu then ran out, with Liu Zhongqing holding a bow and arrow.

He pulled Zhang Yulu back and said to her, "Why didn't you call me when you went out in the morning? Don't you know it's dangerous to do this?"

Zhang Yulu also felt very wronged: "I didn't know he was such a person, and I didn't know what secret weapon our family had?"

Liu Zhongqing yelled at Wu Yuan, "You coward, you actually attacked a woman. If you have the guts, attack us men."

Wu Yuan heard what Liu Zhongqing said and began to refute: "What do you want to tell me? I don't want to talk nonsense with you now. I have been in a heavy mood these days. There have been several times when I felt physically and mentally exhausted. What do you think I should do?"

Liu Zhongqing felt very strange: "Any discomfort in your body has nothing to do with me. There is no need for me to help you adjust."

Wu Yuan then smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, I approached Zhang Yulu this time and put a slow-acting poison in him. If you don't listen to me, I will throw away all the antidotes."

Hearing Wu Yuan say this, Zhang Yulu kept shaking her head: "Don't keep talking nonsense. I don't want to listen to you at all. Shut up. I'm not poisoned at all."

Wu Yuan seemed to be testing it: "Listen to me, now shut your mouth immediately, then take a deep breath and feel if your chest feels stuffy."

Zhang Yulu did exactly what he was told. Soon, hot air came out of his chest and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. Seeing this, Liu Zhongqing rushed forward to support Zhang Yulu and shouted in shock, "What happened? Wake up!"
