If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Lu Yuan was busy entertaining the envoys from the Southern Dynasty. Although he was only responsible for their safety and the birthday gifts, He Jingyao kept testing him from time to time, which made Lu Yuan feel more and more annoyed.

I might as well stop going to the Honglu Temple every day.

The Wanshou Festival is approaching, and many people go to the capital every day to prepare to go to the palace to celebrate the birthday, and many of them are envoys from neighboring countries.

Lu Yuan was so busy that he had no time to rest.

Unable to go home and be intimate with his wife for several days, Lu Yuan's face became darker day by day.

He finally got half a day off, but some blind people tried to assassinate him on the street.

Looking at the dozen men in black who surrounded him, Lu Yuan slowly drew out the Embroidered Spring Knife in his hand.

Knife up and down.

Blood flew everywhere.

Thunder rumbled in the sky.

The rain came down in torrents.

The rainwater on the ground was mixed with blood, and the men in black realized that they were no match for Lu Yuan.

"Bai family's assassins?" Lu Yuan sneered and put his embroidered spring knife against the forehead of the only survivor.

The man in black said nothing. He grabbed the Embroidered Spring Sword in one hand and put his neck into the knife.

Lu Yuan pulled the Xiuchun Knife out of his body, and the rain washed the blood off the blade.

Zheng Wuqing came with the Ti cavalry.

"Commander, who are these people?" Zheng Wuqing asked in surprise.

He was so blind that he actually dared to ambush the commander of the Pacification Division.

He pulled off the masks of the men in black, and saw that they were all strangers. "Commander, they are all assassins."

"Who on earth dares to come out and kill people at this time?"

The Emperor's birthday is coming soon. The city is heavily guarded, yet they dare to let their assassins come out to cause chaos. This is seeking rebellion.

"They are coming for me." Lu Yuan said calmly, "Send these people to Bai Shaojie."

Zheng Wuqing looked up suddenly, "What?"

"Clean up this place." Lu Yuan ordered calmly.

He put away his embroidered spring sword and rode away on his horse.

Zheng Wuqing clicked his tongue twice, the Bai family was so bold.

Although most noble families would secretly hire some assassins to do things for them, the Bai family was the first to kill people so blatantly.

Is this a desperate move, and is he eager to kill Lu Yuan to silence him?

"Hurry up and pack up. Send someone to get a carriage over here." Zheng Wuqing ordered his men.

Bai Shaojie is the eldest son of the Bai family and is now the young master of the Bai family. These assassins were trained by him.

In less than half an hour, all the corpses were cleaned up and the bloodstains on the ground were washed away by the rain.

Bai Shaojie, who was far away at the Bai family's old house in Rongyang, noticed something was wrong in the middle of the night.

A scream startled him and he quickly ran out of the room.

Ten bodies of dead soldiers appeared neatly in his yard, and the leader of them was missing a broken arm.

"Who sent it?" Bai Shaojie said with a gloomy face, scolding the guards in the yard, "Are you dead? I didn't notice any movement."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had clearly been looking around everywhere, but they didn't hear any sound at all.

Bai Shaojie's face looked very ugly. He certainly knew who sent these people.

Lu Yuan!

He was a little annoyed. It was not his order to send the assassins into the city to kill Lu Yuan. It was his younger brother Bai Shaohong who was going to do it.

Bai Shaohong listened to his aunt very much, and it must be that his aunt could not help but want to kill Lu Yuan.

"Take the man away and deal with him." Bai Shaojie ordered in a cold voice.

He strode out of the yard and kicked open Bai Shaohong's door.

Bai Shaohong was enjoying the moment of holding the tender beauty in his arms, but was frightened by a loud noise and almost ejaculated.

"Brother, what are you doing? Why didn't you let someone know before you came in?" What if he was frightened and couldn't get an erection?

"Get out!" Bai Shaojie shouted coldly.

The maid was so frightened that she retreated in a hurry, holding the quilt.

Bai Shaohong sat up and put on his clothes, "Brother, what's going on?"

"Didn't I tell you not to use any assassins during this period?" Bai Shaojie looked at his useless brother and wished he could slap him to death.

"Oh? You know, is Lu Yuan dead?" Bai Shaohong said nonchalantly, "He made my aunt too angry and got in the way of my aunt's business, so I had no choice but to let him die."

Bai Shaojie sneered, "Where do you get the confidence to think that those assassins can kill Lu Yuan? Do you know who Lu Yuan is?"

"He was just a small commander of the Pacification Division. If he died, so be it. Who would care?" Bai Shaohong disagreed.

Snapped!

Bai Shaojie finally couldn't stand it anymore and slapped him, "Do you know that if Lu Yuan wanted to kill you and me today, we would have died under his knife long ago."

"The bodies of those ten assassins are still lying in my yard. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Bai Shaohong was stunned and covered his face, glaring at Bai Shaojie angrily.

He was stunned when he heard Bai Shaojie's words.

"What corpse?"

Bai Shaojie sneered, "All the assassins you sent to kill Lu Yuan were sent back, and one of them even had his hand chopped off. Do you know what this means?"

"If it happens again, the broken arm will be on you."

"Lu Yuan dared to kill someone from the Bai family?" Bai Shaohong was furious.

"Who do you think you are? You go to kill him, and he can't even fight back. Is he just going to stand there and let you kill him?" Bai Shaojie suppressed his anger. How could he have such a stupid brother.

Bai Shaojie grabbed his collar and lifted him up, "I told you not to provoke Lu Yuan easily, have you had your brain eaten by a dog?"

"My aunt has been unable to get rid of him for so many years. Do you think you can kill him with just a few of your warriors?"

"idiot!"

Bai Shaohong's face turned red and white as he was scolded.

"You are so capable, why don't you go and help your aunt?" Bai Shaohong shouted.

"My aunt has been placed under house arrest in the Lu family's ancestral temple. The current situation of the Lu family is different from before. You'd better take a clear look first." Bai Shaojie certainly also wanted to help Mrs. Lu.

However, before helping her, we must first ensure that the Bai family will not be implicated.

Because of Concubine Bai's kidnapping of the Prince of Zhennan, the Bai family is now in a passive situation.

The Bai family's business in Yunzhou has been hit one after another by the Ye family, and he is now traveling around to stabilize the situation.

But some people want to set fire in the backyard.

"Also, let me tell you again, the Wanshou Festival is approaching. If you dare to use the Bai family's assassins again, I will break your legs myself." Bai Shaojie threatened coldly.

"Don't think that your mother will be able to protect you. If the court knows that you used assassins to kill court officials, do you think the emperor will tolerate the Bai family? Do you want to rebel?"

Bai Shaohong shook his head, "I didn't."

Bai Shaojie took a deep breath and said, "Go to Yunzhou tomorrow."

"Brother!" Bai Shaohong disagreed.

"Do you want to stay here and have your hands chopped off or your neck slit by Lu Yuan?" Bai Shaojie asked coldly.

“…” Bai Shaohong’s face turned pale.

"I'm going to Yunzhou."

At the same time, in the ancestral temple, Mrs. Lu had just fallen asleep when she suddenly felt something falling beside her pillow.

She reached out and touched it. Something cold and wet.

When she took a closer look in the light of the lamp, her scalp went numb and she couldn't help but make a gurgling sound in her throat.

"Come on, come on!"
