Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

"Let's go."

Lu Che took Tao Yao's hand.

"No, I didn't say I wanted to go with you."

Lu Che's tone couldn't help but refuse: "If you don't come with me, where else are you going?"

As they were talking, a sudden sound of breaking air was heard in the sky. They both looked up and saw that it was just a few scattered bamboo leaves streaking across the sky.

Lu Che took a few steps back, and Tao Yao clearly felt his palm tighten around hers.

"Oh no, someone is coming." Lu Che protected Tao Yao behind him.

It happened in the blink of an eye. With the sound of rustling wind beside their ears, many bamboo leaves fluttered down in the wind. Some of them flew into the hands of Lu Che and Tao Yao, and the sharp tips of the leaves scratched their skin, leaving several bloody marks.

Lu Che held Tao Yao's injured wrist with his backhand and whispered, "Are you okay?"

Tao Yao realized that someone was coming, and without thinking twice, she opened her mouth and yelled, "Help! Help! Bandits are trying to kidnap me!"

At that moment, a figure flashed across the sky above the bamboo forest. Tao Yao looked closely and saw that the figure standing on the slightly bent bamboo branch was clearly Chu Huanjun.

The moonlight was like water, and he was dressed in a green satin robe, lightly landing in the mist above the bamboo forest, looking like an immortal.

Tao Yao took a closer look and saw that Chu Huanjun had two or three bamboo leaves between his fingers. It turned out that he had used the bamboo leaves as hidden weapons just now.

Lu Che was tall and protected Tao Yao behind him. Tao Yao was completely enveloped by his figure.

Seeing this, Chu Huanjun simply threw out the bamboo leaves in his hand. Lu Che half-carried Tao Yao and quickly dodged, barely avoiding Chu Huanjun's attack.

Chu Huanjun lowered his eyebrows and smiled. Behind him was a bright, full moon, which made his figure appear even taller and darker. On such a dark and windy night, one couldn't help but wonder whether the person standing under the moonlight was a god or a demon.

"It's nice to meet you again so soon. But it seems you don't want to see me. If that's the case, why don't you just hide in the dark? Why do you have to come out in the open to stir up trouble... What's wrong? Are you not used to the food and wine at Chunfeng Tower?"

Chu Huanjun's tone was nonchalant. He was always like this, speaking lightly and with a light expression, but the content he conveyed always made people angry.

Obviously, this trick worked very well for Lu Che.

Every time Lu Che saw Chu Huanjun, he felt like his whole body was like a taut string - it was like some kind of survival of the fittest rule in nature, he was the weaker one, and Chu Huanjun was always a hunter one level higher than him.

He was afraid of the enemy's strength, but at the same time he hated himself for being too weak and not having enough courage to face him.

This kind of emotion, like a demon in his heart, has been haunting him for too long.

Especially in the current situation, there is someone behind him whom he wants to protect, and opposite him is Chu Huanjun, whom he has always been afraid to face.

This situation reminded him of more than ten years ago. At that time, he was powerless and had to watch helplessly as those people snatched away the lives of his loved ones. He just watched like that, unable to do anything.

In fact, death was not scary for Lu Che, because he had seen his loved ones die one by one in front of him. He believed that he should have died with them - but someone spared his life.

This person is Chu Huanjun.

Of course Lu Che hated Chu Huanjun, he didn't understand why he had to stay.

When a person dies, everything is empty, but he insisted on carrying the hatred and suffering from unbearable nightmares day and night for more than ten years, living like a walking corpse to this day.

Every time he saw Chu Huanjun, Lu Che felt that he was one step closer to revenge.

But every time he witnessed Chu Huanjun's strength, he couldn't help but retreat. After retreating, he would blame himself for his cowardice.

The massacre from many years ago seemed to reappear before Lu Che's eyes. An indelible layer of blood mist enveloped his vision, making the entire world seem distorted.

He couldn't help but tremble throughout his body.

Tao Yao felt his trembling and cold sweat oozing from his palms. Seeing his ugly face, Tao Yao felt a little confused - what kind of devil was Chu Huanjun to scare people like this?

But Tao Yao couldn't care less now. Seeing the reinforcements coming, even though the reinforcements were Chu Huanjun, whom she should avoid, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She was really abducted by this inexplicable young man Lu Che.

So, Tao Yao yelled at the top of her voice: "Xiao Chu! Save me!"

Chu Huanjun shifted his gaze to Tao Yao, looking her up and down, and said, "You're fine, aren't you?"

Tao Yao asked anxiously, "Didn't you see I was kidnapped?"

Chu Huanjun looked at Lu Che, then at Tao Yao, and said with a playful smile, "Yeah, I see. But didn't you say last time that we weren't very familiar with each other? If we weren't very familiar with each other, there was no need for me to save you."

At this moment, Lu Che suddenly turned around, looked at Tao Yao solemnly, and said, "We are family. I will never harm you. Come with me."

Relatives?

Just as Tao Yao was still pondering what this "relative" meant, she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing through the forest behind her, and a piece of green gauze flashed before her eyes. In a moment, Chu Huanjun had landed in front of her.

Tao Yao suddenly felt her hands and feet loosen up. She looked down and saw that Chu Huanjun had already used a folding fan to untie the hemp rope knots on her hands and feet.

Tao Yao had just tried her best to break free but failed, and Chu Huanjun untied her easily.

Lu Che's fear was absolutely right. Chu Huanjun was a powerful being, far away in the horizon just now, but now he was right beside them in an instant.

If Chu Huanjun wanted to kill them today, they would have no chance of winning.

Tao Yao shook her hands, which were numb from being tied up, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. When she looked up again, Lu Che had disappeared, and only Chu Huanjun's back was in sight.

The moonlight fell coolly on his shoulders, illuminating the priceless green silk robe he was wearing.

On a cold winter night, he covers himself with the spring water of a river, and he always has the ability to create his own style.

"Hey! Didn't you say you wouldn't save me?!"

He flicked and folded his folding fan, brushing off a few bamboo leaves from Tao Yao's shoulders without leaving a trace. He then sneered, "Is this what you call family? They left you and ran away alone."

Tao Yao was a little confused, as she still had the rabbit fur hand warmer that Lu Che had made for her.

Although Lu Che didn't say anything, she realized that the relationship between her and Lu Che was not simple.

Chu Huanjun tapped her forehead lightly and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing." Tao Yao shook her head. "Thank you for saving me."

He seemed to have misunderstood Tao Yao because she was sad because of what he just said. After all, whether she was the second lady of the Shi family or in front of Lu Che who suddenly appeared and claimed that they were relatives, she was the one who was ignored or abandoned by the so-called relatives.

So, Chu Huanjun explained in a somewhat redundant manner: "Sorry, that's not what I meant."

Tao Yao didn't care, but turned the conversation to him: "Why are you here?"

"Ahem..." Chu Huanjun's eyes wandered, "I was doing some work and just happened to be passing by."

Tao Yao sized him up with suspicion and joked, "That's quite a coincidence! This is such a remote place, and an ordinary person wouldn't be able to find it without putting in some effort. What is Xiao Chu up to this time? Could there be an Autumn Wind Tower or a Winter Wind Tower in this remote place?"

...Alas, I am still lucky to have met you, otherwise tomorrow the streets of Beijing would be filled with ghost stories about the discovery of a female corpse in the bamboo forest outside the city. "

Chu Huanjun was amused by her, then turned to a rare serious tone and said, "Do you understand now how dangerous the world is? Girl, don't run around outside, it's very dangerous. If you really want to go out and play, you might as well take me with you. I'm confident that I can keep you safe."

"I dare not trouble you, General." Tao Yao took a few steps back. "Besides, we are both unmarried, and if we get together, it will cause gossip. Besides, we don't know each other very well."

She emphasized the five words "not very familiar with it", which sounded very deliberate.

"What?" Chu Huanjun's lips curled up into a faint smile. "When I was kidnapped by the bandits just now, regardless of whether we were familiar with each other or not, now you are talking about it?"
