Chapter 14 Confrontation

Lu Zhen was supported by Yin Zheng and walked to the rouge shop not far from Baoxiang Tower.

The shopkeeper of the rouge shop is a plump woman. She was frightened when Lu Dashan rushed out just now, and she hid behind the shop door and watched the whole process. Seeing that Lu Zong was covered in blood, the female shopkeeper also felt sympathy and asked someone to get a basin of hot water for the two of them to clean themselves in the back room.

Yin Zheng soaked the handkerchief in the water and wiped the blood on Lu Zong's face little by little. She said in a very worried tone: "I wonder if this knife mark will leave scars in the future..."

"It's okay," Lu Zhu reassured her, "The wound is not deep, just go back to the inn and get some powder."

Yin Zheng looked at it and said angrily: "The fugitive was clearly aiming for the one next to him at the beginning. If her guards hadn't taken action, why would the girl be like this? She is so vicious!"

 She is talking about the young lady from Taishi Mansion.

 Lu Xu lowered his eyes.

I wanted to come to Lu Dashan to escape here, but I saw the carriage of the Taishi Mansion before starting to rob people. If what he held hostage today was the Grand Master's daughter, he might actually be able to escape.

It's a pity that by mistake, a worthless ordinary person like her was held hostage.

While twisting the handkerchief, Yin Zheng asked Lu Zhen, "But why did the girl suddenly take action just now? It scared me." Speaking of the scene just now, Yin Zheng was still frightened, "The girl has always been calm, but today she is a little reckless. , although the fugitive is ferocious, there are many officials coming. Even if the girl doesn't take action, they will rescue the girl. "

Lu Zhen smiled sarcastically in his heart.

Will Lei Yuan save her?

She clearly saw that the archer behind Lei Yuan had already tightened his bowstring, but he had no intention of caring about her life or death.

Moreover, what Pei Dianshuai just said between the lines seemed to mean that Lei Yuan wanted to kill Lu Dashan to silence him.

 She is the most insignificant link in this lawsuit, and her death will be insignificant.

Lu Hu said: "Because I don't believe them."

Yin Zheng was startled: "Girl?"

"They are determined to capture the fugitives, and I'm afraid that they will use me as a target in order to arrest them." Lu Zhuo said in a calm voice, "I am not a rich lady, I am just an ordinary person. In the eyes of these powerful officials, I am not as good as an ant."

 “I don’t want to put my life in their hands, I only believe in myself.”

Yin Zheng was stunned and didn't speak for a while.

In the silence, someone suddenly heard a voice.

 “It sounds like Doctor Lu is quite resentful towards the powerful people in Shengjing. Could it be that there has been some quarrel?”

 Lu Xu suddenly raised his eyes.

The rouge shop was filled with the sweet aroma of powdered rouge. There were no windows inside, and only dim oil lamps were lit. A large screen is painted with several newly bloomed hibiscus, with pink and fragrant leaves and a faint fragrance. As the lights flickered, someone stepped out from behind the screen.

The young man is wearing a bright red arrow coat, and the leather quills around his waist are dark and gleaming, making him look tall and tall. He also has a face as handsome as jade, with first-class skin and bones. Standing here, he lights up the dim room a little, like a drunken dream among flowers.

 Lu Zhen's eyes moved slightly.

This is the "Pei Dian Shuai" in Lei Yuan's mouth.

In the confusion just now, she did not take a close look at the other person's face. At this moment, it seemed that this person was chatting and laughing, and his clothes were luxurious. Thinking back to the tactful words he had just exchanged with the official, who kept calling him "Commander of the Palace", this young man looked to be only in his early twenties. He was already in a high position at a young age, so he came from a rich family background.

 She should try to stay away from smart and ruthless powerful children.

With this thought in her mind, Lu Zhen saw the other party smiling and putting something in her hand on the small table in front of her, and said unhurriedly: "Doctor Lu, you dropped something."

Lu Yan’s eyebrows skipped a beat.

The delphinium flower was lying on the table, glowing with cold blood under the light of the lamp, making it look a little scary for no reason.

She calmed down and then said softly: "Thank you, sir." She reached out to pick up the velvet flower.  Hold the velvet flower with one hand.

 Lu Zhuo raised his eyes.

The young man’s knuckles were long and pressed against the dark blue velvet flowers, making his hands look like white jade.

And he tapped the velvet flowers lightly with his fingers, as if he was thinking. Although he was smiling, his eyes were dark and deep, as if he wanted to see through people.

Pei Yunying said: "There is still something unclear about Pei, please ask Dr. Lu to clarify my doubts."

Lu Zhen looked at him coldly.

He smiled and said: "Why does Doctor Lu's velvet flower have three silver needles?"

Ordinary velvet flowers have only one flower needle, but Lu Zhuo's flower needle has three.

Yin Zheng stood aside, looking nervous.

Lu Yan said calmly: "My hair is thick and thick, and one flower needle usually slips off easily, so I used three."

Pei Yunying raised his eyebrows slightly, while Lu Zhu looked calm.

His eyes stayed for a moment on Lu Zhuo's mist-like hair, and then quickly moved away: "That's it."

Before Lu Zhuo could speak, he heard him speak casually again: "Then Doctor Lu, why do you want to sharpen the velvet flower needles so sharply?" He reminded Lu Yun with a half-smile, "The scars on Lu Dashan's face are ordinary flower needles. But I can’t draw it out.”

Lu Zong's heart sank slightly, this man was really difficult to deal with.

 Nowadays, when women wear hairpins with flowers, be it pearl flowers or velvet flowers, the needles on their backs are always polished and rounded to avoid hurting others. As for the blue bird flower that Lu Zhen was wearing, its needle was sharp and fierce. Even if it was scratched lightly, it would leave a layer of fine marks on the skin, not to mention heavy scratches.

 This flower needle was sharpened by herself.

The sweet smell of rouge in the shop filled the surroundings with a layer of red and pink color. Lu Zhuo's eyes followed his hand upwards and saw the delicate silver dark patterns on his wrist guards. He paused for a moment, then raised his head and said calmly: "Sir, , As far as I know, there is no law in Shengjing that stipulates that women’s hairpin needles cannot be sharp, right?”

Her tone was calm, but there was an unyielding tit-for-tat hidden in her eyes.

A hint of surprise flashed in Pei Yunying's eyes, and then he laughed inexplicably, nodded and said, "Yes."

His expression became relaxed again, he let go of the hand holding the velvet flowers, took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from his arms and placed it on the table, "Doctor Lu's injury still needs to be treated properly. It will not be good if it leaves scars. Tianwu Youjun’s scar removal medicine is very effective, Dr. Lu can try it.”

Lu Zhen didn't move, just looked at him and said, "Thank you very much."

Someone outside called him: "Sir, the people from the Taishi Mansion are here to see you."

 He agreed, looked at Lu Zhen with a smile, and then turned and left.

 It wasn’t until the man’s figure completely disappeared behind the screen that Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

For some reason, this man was clearly smiling and his tone could be called warm, but it made her feel dangerous involuntarily.

 Fortunately, it was just a chance encounter under a storm, and the two of them would probably never have the chance to see each other again in the future.

With this in mind, Yin Zheng stood aside and spoke cautiously: "Girl, let's go back now?"

“Pack your luggage.” Lu Zhuo looked away, “We are leaving Laiyi Inn tonight.”
