The sun was scorching, and before noon, the heaven and earth were so hot.
The streets were bustling with people and the excitement was comparable to a grand festival.
The reason why so many people gathered was not because of a festival or a happy event, but because there was a traitor in Shentu City.
This traitor incident has not happened for many years.
It happened when Shen Tuyi first took the position of city lord.
However, it ended with the genocide, and it has not been seen since.
Shen Tuyi was cold-blooded and iron-fisted.
No one had the courage.
If one person betrayed him, he would suffer the calamity of annihilation.
After so many years, there is now another traitor, and he is from the right-hand man of the city lord Shen Tuyi, one of the black-armored soldiers.
How could the people ignore such a big event?
All adults and children walked out of their homes to watch the punishment of the traitors.
The streets were bustling with people, but the city lord's palace was very quiet.
Even though there were countless black-armored soldiers, there was almost no sound.
There is a small building adjacent to Shen Tuyi's residence, separated by golden trees and golden flowers, and they can look at each other unobstructed.
Ye Lu and Mai Tang now live here and no longer have to squeeze into the small courtyard where the maid lives.
At this moment, Ye Lu was the only one in the building, and Mai Tang went out.
There were some scratches on her palms, but they had healed, except for the scabs that had not fallen off in some places.
Looking at his hands, Ye Lu's thoughts drifted far away.
The traitor will be punished today.
I don’t know exactly how Ye Lu will be punished, but I think he won’t be punished lightly.
Shen Tuyi is indeed iron-fisted, and he will not let go of such a traitor.
Killing people on the street, and giving him a clean sword, it can be said that Shen Tuyi had a kind heart.
However, he was bound to kill as a warning to others, and would not let the traitors die so simply.
"Miss Ye."
Suddenly, a voice came into his ears, and Ye Lu came back to his senses, then raised his head and looked at the door.
At the entrance of the hall, Mr.
Ji stood there with a smile on his face.
"Mr.
Ji, please come in."
Ye Lu raised his eyebrows and stood up to invite.
Walking in, Mr.
Ji said: "Miss Maitang has also come to watch the fun."
"Probably so.
She is very close to General Cai now.
She followed Cai Kang out and could stand on the scene to watch the punishment of the prisoners."
Ye Lu felt that Mai Tang was not just there to watch the fun.
"General Cai and Miss Maitang are a perfect match."
Mr.
Ji heard the implication of Ye Lu's words.
Ye Luxiao said, "Mr.
Ji, it's better not to talk nonsense about this matter.
In my opinion, the two of them won't be able to make it happen in a while."
"Why did Miss Ye say that?"
Mr.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Ji became interested and wanted to hear it.
Rolling his eyes, Ye Lu asked Mr.
Ji to sit down and said, "Maitang has a stubborn temper, and she is definitely not a girl in the boudoir.
She has nothing to do with being gentle and virtuous.
As for Cai Kang, obviously He has a bad temper, and I don’t think he is convinced by anyone except Shen Tuyi.
Characters like the two of them need to get along, and if they don’t have enough time, they will explode at the slightest hint of fire."
We are together in this life, no matter how noisy we are, we will never separate.
Otherwise, it will definitely die halfway.
Mr.
Ji listened to her with a smile on his face and seemed to think it made sense.
"I don't know, what kind of person does the girl think the city lord is?"
As if asking for advice seriously, Mr.
Ji asked Shen Tuyi.
Ye Lu looked at him and couldn't help but squint his eyes, half-smiling, "Mr.
Ji, you are a highly respected person.
It's not suitable for you to talk in such a roundabout way."
This was probably not what he wanted to ask.
Mr.
Ji shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Maybe I am meddling in my own business, but it would be a good thing if a girl is always by the city lord's side."
Shen Tuyi is the lone star of the evil god, and there is no one around him.
All those close to him died unexpectedly.
Mr.
Ji feels that Ye Lu is simply a gift from God, and he is a person with nine lives.
After so many times, she had suffered nothing more than minor injuries and pains, and Mr.
Ji thought that Shen Tuyi would not affect her too much anymore.
These words sounded like they had ulterior motives.
Ye Lu looked at Mr.
Ji's smiling face and nodded slowly: "Mr.
Ji, are you planning to play matchmaker?
In fact, it's useless for you to talk to me.
The key is to see how your city lord behaves." think."
"The city lord has done so much for the girl, doesn't the girl know the city lord's intentions?
The girl has said before that the city lord can't afford to be early if there is no profit.
In fact, this is true.
What benefits does the city lord get from the girl?"
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand it.
Mr.
Ji knows Shen Tuyi well.
He has known his behavior for so many years, and he knows what his intentions are without him having to tell him.
Ye Lu was an exception.
Instead of benefiting from her, he got a lot of trouble.
There is no other answer to this other than sincerity.
Ye Lu thought for a while, then leaned forward and whispered: "Well, I haven't even told Mai Tang about this, and Mr.
Ji doesn't want it to be spread.
In fact, I am pursuing your city lord, but he hasn't agreed yet."

Mr.
Ji was really shocked, and it took him nearly a minute to recover.
"Really" this... was upside down, right?
"I said at that time that I would repay his kindness with my life, but he didn't agree, and he looked very disgusted with me.
But that day I told him that I wanted to pursue him, and he didn't say he didn't agree.
Alas. , you city lord pretends to be aloof, then just be aloof and let him do as he pleases.
Anyway, the days are long, I'm not in a hurry."
Ye Lu looked unconcerned and had the demeanor of a pure man.
"Everyone says that a gentle lady is a good gentleman, but in Miss Ye's case, she has become a lady and a good lady."
Mr.
Ji expressed his admiration.
"Luo Hua has intentions, but actually Liu Shui also has feelings.
However, this Liu Shui is very awkward and needs time."
Ye Lu was full of confidence.
Thinking of Shen Tu Yi's appearance, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Mr.
Ji nodded, confirming that what Ye Lu said was true.
He believed that Shen Tuyi was indeed uncomfortable in his heart.
He is a lone star, and no one can understand his inner feelings.
Along with being close and caring is harm.
Over the years, maybe Shen Tuyi has forgotten how to get close to others.
"exist Close.
"I only represent myself.
I hope Miss Ye will not give up."
Mr.
Ji's words were very sincere.
Blinking slowly, Ye Lu felt as if Mr.
Ji was entrusting him.
"Anyway, I won't give up now.
Don't worry, Mr.
Ji.
If there is a day when I give up, I will tell you in advance."
Ye Lu didn't know how to make herself give up.
Anyway, she had no intention of giving up now.
Mr.
Ji nodded repeatedly.
He was relieved that Ye Lu could say this.
"Mr.
Ji came here today to sell Shen Tuyi to me."
I didn't expect that Mr.
Ji cared so much about Shen Tuyi.
"I just don't want Miss Ye to misunderstand the city lord again."
Mr.
Ji's words were a bit strange.
"There is nothing wrong with misunderstanding me.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I still know what kind of person Shen Tuyi is."
Ye Lu shook his head.
She would not misunderstand him for no reason.
As soon as these words came out, Mr.
Ji looked very relieved.
In fact, Ye Lu has not yet figured out the misunderstanding Mr.
Ji mentioned.
It was only after Maitang came back from outside at half past noon that she understood what the misunderstanding Mr.
Ji said was.
Mai Tang's face was not very good.
She sat down at the table and drank herself a glass of water before she calmed down.
Ye Lu looked at her, his clear eyes searching for a moment, "I'm stupid."
Mai Tang looked over and let out a long breath, "It's just that I have never seen what a law field looks like.
Now that I have finally seen it, I feel uncomfortable."
"That's why I told you not to look at it."
Ye Lu suddenly realized that you couldn't look at the execution ground at will.
Not only was the Yin Qi extremely strong, but there was also a city gathering for executions, so it was better to go there less often.
"If I hadn't gone to see him, I wouldn't have known that Shen Tuyi was so cruel and ruthless."
Mai Tang looked at her and whispered.
Blinking slowly, Ye Lu snorted, "Why are you so cruel?
Since you betrayed me, you have to bear the consequences.
If Shen Tuyi hadn't chased him so quickly, you wouldn't have had the chance to say he was cruel in front of me now."
"I don't know what this means, look how angry you are.
If you dare to betray, you have to accept punishment, and it is necessary to kill as a warning, otherwise no one will dare to betray in the future, and our situation will be even more dangerous.
However, the method is indeed cruel, and the whole situation will be Everyone in the city was calm.
"Mai Tang was talking about the technique, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
"The most cruel thing is to kill everyone in the family, but this can indeed act as a deterrent.
The cost of betrayal is low, and the punishment is not strong enough.
Everyone will betray in the future.
Even if I have ninety lives, it is not enough.
"Ye Lu still prefers Shen Tuyi, no matter how ruthless he is, there is a reason.
Mai Tang nodded, Ye Lu was right, "You know, if one person betrays, three clans will be affected.
Moreover, there were two teenage children among them.
They killed the children and hanged them, and the rest The black-armored soldier who knocked me out and took you out of the city lord's palace received special care and was cut off below the navel.
He crawled alive for two quarters of an hour before dying, leaving his intestines and other parts outside.
There was blood everywhere he crawled.
Oh my God, my scalp feels numb just thinking about it."
Mai Tang couldn't help but shrink his shoulders, and everyone present was shocked.
Listening to this, Ye Lu really didn't expect this.
Taking a deep breath and standing up, Ye Lu walked to the soft couch by the window and sat up cross-legged.
She recited silently, her expression serious.
Mai Tang looked at her and couldn't help but sigh, "It's useless if you recite the rebirth mantra for them now.
They will definitely be filled with resentment."
"I'm not reading it to them, I'm reading it to Shen Tuyi to protect him from all poisons."
Ye Lu snorted.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Even so, she didn't think Shen Tuyi had done anything wrong.
Mai Tang was speechless for a moment, but it was undeniable that what Ye Lu did was wrong.
If the position is different and it is a matter of life and death, there is no way to be merciful.
The traitors were beheaded, and relatives and friends of the three tribes were implicated, shocking the whole city.
In the streets and alleys, people were talking about this, but they didn't dare to speak loudly.
No one dares to say that Shen Tuyi did something wrong.
Since he betrayed, he must suffer the consequences.
That night, Shen Tuyi came to visit and brought ointment and gauze, making it clear that he wanted someone to change his dressing.
Mai Tang automatically went upstairs to his room.
In fact, there were some things that no longer needed to be explained.
You could understand what was going on just by looking at them.
He sat on the soft couch by the window, his back as straight as a green pine, fearless in the wind and rain.
Ye Lu stood in front of him, grabbed his hand, and took off the gauze on his hand layer by layer.
The light was bright, and the wound on his hand could be seen clearly.
Ye Lu observed it carefully, then shook his head and said: "I'm not a doctor, and I can't tell whether the recovery is good or not.
You should ask the doctor to change your dressing.
This will allow him to check the healing inside."
"I'm hurt because of you.
Isn't it right for you to do this?"
Shen Tuyi's words were light and there was no emotion on his face.
Raising his eyebrows, Ye Lu was speechless, "I didn't say I won't do it, I'm just afraid of delaying your recovery.
If you're not afraid, then I won't say anything and will change your dressing every day.
Lord City Lord, do you agree?"
She has a good attitude and coupled with her sweet little face, she is very lovable.
Shen Tuyi seemed satisfied, "Continue."
With crooked eyebrows, Ye Lu took the ointment and applied it carefully on the back of his palm.
Although it looked painful, Shen Tuyi never reacted, as if it was not his hand.
After applying the ointment, I took clean gauze and began to bandage it layer by layer.
"Does it hurt?"
I didn't dare to bandage it too tightly, lest it hurt him.
"It doesn't hurt."
Shen Tuyi always seemed to answer this way.
"City Lord Shentu, do you know what a tough guy is?"
Looking at him, Ye Lu's eyes were clear and full of smiles.
"You're talking about me" Shen Tuyi looked at her with soft eyes.
"That's right, it's you.
In fact, even if you say it hurts, no one will laugh at you.
It must hurt.
The wound on my back can't be touched until now.
I say it hurts every day, and no one will laugh at me."
Instead, it was because she said it hurt, Mai Tang said It hurts.
Maitang seemed anxious about something.
"It won't hurt after you say it."
Shen Tuyi pursed her thin lips and asked.
Surprised, Ye Lu shook his head, "That's not true, it still hurts."
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"Since saying it won't relieve the pain, it's useless to talk more."
If it wouldn't hurt anymore if he said it, he could give it a try.
"Your way of thinking is really strange.
I'm not a man, and I don't understand it either.
However, I still admire you, tough guy."
As she said that, she raised her hand and patted his shoulder.
It was so hard that it made her palm numb.
Shen Tuyi glanced at her hand and raised his eyebrows, "Do you still remember what the crime of harassing me is?"
"Remember, but even if you lock me up, I still have to take advantage."
As she said that, she stretched out her finger and poked his shoulder.
It was really hard.
"It's rare for a gangster to reach your level."
Shen Tuyi remained calm and didn't look dissatisfied.
"Then it doesn't matter who you are.
If it were someone else, I wouldn't be interested."
Ye Lu was obviously teasing.
When she said she wanted to pursue him, she really wasn't just talking about it.
Shen Tuyi seemed to take advantage of this kind of words, and pursed his thin lips slightly, "It's a good thing to have ideals."
Laughing loudly, Ye Lu sat down next to him, "Since you encourage me so much, then I will continue.
Unless you sincerely reject me, I will not give up.
If you are enjoying it, I’ll just let you enjoy it, and I can still satisfy this wish.”
Turning to look at her, Shen Tuyi slowly raised his right hand to cover her face, pushed her, and she immediately lay down on the soft couch.
Overjoyed, Ye Lu lay there and looked at Shen Tuyi, "You are in a good mood.
Since you are in such a good mood, why don't you tell me about the effect of this shock?
Do you think it is still possible for them to infiltrate in?"
No matter how tight he blocks it, , can't stop them from infiltrating and exploiting loopholes day and night.
Shen Tuyi frowned slightly and then said, "No one in this world is afraid of death.
A small punishment is enough to scare away countless people.
In a short period of time, no one can infiltrate."
"I believe it.
If it were me, I wouldn't dare."
Ye Lu agreed.
She would be scared anyway.
"This is the fate a traitor deserves."
She was scared, Shen Tuyi's expression changed slightly, and then he whispered.
"I know, since you dare to betray, you have to suffer the consequences you deserve.
I didn't say what you did was wrong, on the contrary, it was right."
Be ruthless, but the enemy will be even more ruthless.
Hearing this, Shen Tuyi's eyes were filled with a touch of relaxation, "Just don't be afraid."
Managing several cities is not as simple as imagined.
Red lips curved, Ye Lu looked at him, smiling.
"By the way, let's find out who is the person who doesn't want the crown prince of Da Jin to live, and even sent assassins to kill me."
Da Jin also seems to be full of internal conflicts and struggles for power.
"In the Jin Dynasty, the prince is the most powerful; if anyone can rival his power, it is the emperor of the Jin Dynasty."
Shen Tuyi's tone was calm, but what he said surprised Ye Lu.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"I and my son are really strange.
Logically speaking, shouldn't this prince be supported by the emperor?"
If the emperor doesn't approve, where did the prince come from?
"The biological mother of the Crown Prince of the Jin Dynasty is the only daughter of the Great Sima Lei Zhong of the Jin Dynasty.
She is in charge of 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty.
She has great achievements.
Do you think the emperor of the Jin Dynasty will be stable?"
Shen Tuyi looked at her, his eyes always fixed on hers. face.
"So that's what happened.
It is certain that grandpa is supporting his grandson.
However, if he is wholeheartedly supporting the emperor of Jin Dynasty, don't panic.
After all, it is his own family and he is not supporting anyone else.
Unless, this grandpa does not support sincerely, but I want to find a puppet.
"People cannot be underestimated.
There are many people who forget their ancestors for their own selfish interests.
"Smart."
Shen Tuyi gave a rare compliment.
"That's really what happened.
It seems that the prince of the Jin Dynasty is not living a peaceful life.
He is thinking about longevity, but at the same time he has to fight against his own father, and he also has to guard against fooling his grandfather.
Tsk, tsk, in this case, he has to He was really busy racking his brains to catch me."
Ye Lu shook his head slowly.
This made Ye Lu happy.
Maybe he died while busy.
"It's impossible to cooperate with the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, but you can use his killer."
Shen Tuyi seemed to have an idea.
Ye Lu sat up and looked at him closely, his clear eyes seemed to be shining, "I'm waiting for your good news."
Looking down at the little face in front of him, Shen Tuyi slowly raised his hand and pinched her cheek, pulling it until it was deformed.
Ye Lu grabbed his hand to save his face, but did not let go of his hand and said with a smile: "Do you want to agree to my pursuit?"
"It's a beautiful idea."
His eyes wandered to her red lips, but Shen Tuyi did not agree.
Ye Lu laughed out loud, "Okay, this topic will be frozen for now.
I'll ask you again tomorrow."
He seemed to be addicted to pretending to be aloof.
There was no objection and Shen Tuyi didn't look bored.
"Get some rest."
Shen Tuyi looked at her for a long time without blinking, then stood up and left.
Ye Lu sat on the soft couch and chuckled.
This evil star was becoming more and more interesting.
On the stairs, Mai Tang stood there at some point.
Seeing Ye Lu staring at a spot and giggling, she slowly shook her head, "I'm going to sleep now."
"Okay."
Standing up, Ye Lu jumped up the stairs, walked to Mai Tang, hugged her, and dragged her back upstairs.
After being dragged into her room by her, Mai Tang struggled to free himself from her hand, "Xiaolu, why are you getting smaller and smaller?
Tell me, what are you doing?"
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
With innocent eyes, Ye Lu sat on the big bed, enjoying the softness of the bed, "What did I do?"
"Stop fooling me.
Tell me what you did.
Are you really tempted?
You are so brave to pursue Shen Tuyi.
He is not an ordinary person, he is a lone star."
Mai Tang sat down next to her. , while frowning.
"I am still a person with nine lives, what happened to the Lone Star of Heavenly Evil?"
Ye Lu pursed her red lips.
Now to her, Lonely Star of Heavenly Evil is nothing. .
Stunned by her words, Mai Tang sighed, "So, you are really determined to pursue him, but that's too strange.
He should have said it first."
No matter who sees it, , it was all Shen Tuyi who was pursuing Ye Lu.
Ye Lu shrugged, "He's embarrassed, so I'll be more generous and pursue him."
Mai Tang couldn't bear it, "You are amazing.
You actually pursue someone first without any shame.
What if I reject you in the end?"
"If you refuse, just refuse.
I have the right to pursue, and he also has the right to refuse.
Who stipulates that if I pursue someone, I have to agree.
If this is the case, if a cat or a dog pursues me, I have to agree.
Let's talk about it again, you How can you be sure that he will refuse?"
Ye Lu sat cross-legged, talking along the hair on his shoulders.
Her argument was strange.
Mai Tang looked at her and finally shook his head slowly, "It's impossible to refuse, but it's still a bit strange for you to take the initiative to pursue it.
Men have always loved beauty, and then they married the matchmaker with the three books and six etiquettes.
Although We have no one to rely on, no father and no mother, but we have to respect who we are.”
"My sister, you think too much."
Ye Lu looked at her and felt magical.
Although this argument is the current mainstream, she is not born and raised in this era, so there is no need to follow the rules here.
"It's not for your own good."
Mai Tang's eyes were full of disappointment, and she didn't know what to say.
"I know what you mean, and I'm very grateful.
However, I'm not the kind of passive person who just does something when I think about it.
If I don't do it now, I don't know if I will have a chance in the future.
In terms of my current situation , the future is unknown."
Since she was taken away that day, she realized that her life was so fragile.
So what if you are a person with nine lives?
It’s not that you can’t control it.
After almost losing her life, she suddenly realized that her heart was the most important thing.
Follow her heart, and even if she loses her life one day, she will have no regrets.
"Don't talk nonsense, it will be fine.
Alas, this is also a good thing.
If you express your feelings, Shen Tuyi will protect you more comprehensively."
It is also beneficial.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Compared with life, nothing else is important.
"This is not a deal."
Ye Lu stated that she did it from the bottom of her heart, not for repayment, nor for her own life.
"Okay, I get it."
Mai Tang couldn't help laughing as he poked her forehead.
Regardless of whether it was a deal or not, for Mai Tang, it was just good that Shen Tuyi could protect her.
The next day, before the excitement about killing the traitors had subsided, new news spread throughout the country.
Prince Long Zhao was deposed and he is no longer the prince.
There are as many as ten crimes alone, the most serious of which are taking bribes for profit, colluding with merchants, selling private salt, and disregarding the laws of the country.
The people are talking about it.
This kind of thing is fun for the people.
They don't understand the fundamentals of the country, but they are hotly discussing that the prince is not satisfied with being in a high position, and actually colludes with merchants to pour money into private affairs, which is incomprehensible.
But Ye Lu understood the mystery.
The emperor was afraid that he would be forced to have no choice but to finally depose Long Zhao, otherwise he would not be able to bear it.
The dissatisfaction of the city lords in various places put all kinds of pressure on them, and then evidence of guilt appeared, which could not be concealed.
In the end, there was really no choice but to depose Long Zhao to appease the anger of the city lords everywhere.
However, whether the emperor likes it or not, the result is good after all.
After a long time of tossing, the results finally came, and everyone everywhere must be extremely happy.
Although there are usually conflicts of interest, this time all regions are united and worthy of celebration.
"It's really interesting.
After the prince is deposed, I don't know who can still sit in that position.
If this person knows the current affairs and knows how to deal with things, he may be able to ascend the throne smoothly.
If he is still as arrogant and domineering as this deposed prince, who knows who will be everywhere?
We have to unite again."
Mai Tang sighed while wiping the hall.
In fact, in her opinion, it doesn't matter who the prince is, as long as it doesn't interfere with them.
"We can't establish the crown prince so quickly.
Let's wait.
The emperor prefers Long Zhao, and he won't agree to it for a while."
Ye Lu sat at the table eating nuts, like a squirrel.
"Have you ever seen the emperor and don't know what he looks like?"
Mai Tang was curious.
With a son like Shen Tuyi, I wonder what I am like.
"You are an old fool, and you are obsessed with sex, which is not a good thing."
He snorted, and Ye Lu had no good impression of the emperor at all.
Not to mention what kind of person he is, treating Shen Tuyi like that is destined to displease her.
"Then it's not surprising that this abandoned prince completely imitated me and ended up like this."
Moreover, Shen Tuyi was an anomaly.
"So, this imperial capital needs to be cleaned, but it won't happen overnight.
Alas, it's better to go to the southern country to relax and be happy."
Just like the Yangcheng next door, Yang Yi's little life was so comfortable that she couldn't help it.
Very envious.
"That's true.
If the city lord wants to become bigger, he will stick to his word."
Mai Tang's words had a hidden meaning.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Ye Lu didn't argue and ate happily.
In the blink of an eye, she looked at Mai Tang's busy back, Ye Lu's red lips curved, and suddenly, her eyes blurred, and Mai Tang's figure became blurry.
Closing her eyes and opening them again, the trance just now disappeared, and Mai Tang was still busy, as if she was just hallucinating.
Ye Lu slowly raised his hand and touched the back of his head.
The blood seemed to have not dispersed yet.
