Chapter 157: When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked
"Luoyun?"
Shen Lang exclaimed in surprise. Isn't this the woman from Qingfeng Martial Arts Academy that he had introduced to her?
"Long time no see!" Luo Yun looked at Shen Lang who was surprised and spoke with a smile.
"You...he..." Shen Lang first looked at Luo Yun, then at Zhu Chenluo, and finally gave him a thumbs up: "Great, great!"
"When did you do that? Why did you hide it from me?" Shen Lang walked forward and punched Zhu Chenluo in the chest.
Zhu Chenluo was a little embarrassed. He looked at Luo Yun and said, "I took it before I went to Pingnan!"
"Pingnan took it over before?" Shen Lang was even more surprised. He glanced at Luo Yun, whose pretty face was slightly red, and said, "As expected of the Eighteenth Prince, what a good method! What a good method!"
"Ha ha!"
Zhu Chenluo's old face turned red, and he said, "Come in, come in!"
The four of them entered the room, and Zhu Chenluo ordered the maid to bring up delicacies and a jar of aged wine. After filling up the jars, the maids left one after another, leaving only Shen Lang, Zhu Chenluo and the other three in the huge hall.
"I'm leaving tomorrow!"
The four of them drank a glass first, and after putting down the glass, Zhu Chenluo looked at Shen Lang and spoke.
"Departing tomorrow?" Shen Lang was stunned, then he understood what Zhu Chenluo meant: "Are we going to receive it?" As he said that, he glanced at Wanyan Ruyu beside him.
"Um!"
Zhu Chenluo nodded and also glanced at Wanyan Ruyu.
"I will take back what was taken away sooner or later!" Wanyan Ruyu drank a glass of wine and said calmly: "This is your land now, it is not my business!"
Zhu Chenluo and Shen Lang smiled at each other, and Zhu Chenluo continued, "I may not meet Brother Lang for a long time!" As he said that, he sighed.
"Then we must have a good drink tonight!" Shen Lang picked up the wine pot and poured a glass for Zhu Chenluo: "I wish you a safe journey!"
"Ha ha!"
"good!"
Zhu Chenluo and Shen Lang drank a cup and said, "Brother Lang has visited several princes and kings today, right?"
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Well, I have basically visited them all. However, this job is really not suitable for me!" As he said that, Shen Lang smiled bitterly.
"Brother Lang is free and easy, he doesn't like such cumbersome behavior!" Zhu Chenluo still knows Shen Lang's character very well, looking at Shen Lang and saying: "However, Brother Lang is now the Marquis of the Huaxia Empire, so you have to be careful in what you say and do!"
"I will leave Jingyan City in the next few days. This place is not suitable for me!" Shen Lang clicked his tongue and said.
"Okay!" Zhu Chenluo nodded and said, "But you have to be careful. After all, Wei Guo's death will not be in vain! Although Brother Lang is a marquis and his status and position are different from before, it is easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark!" As he said that, he looked at Shen Lang seriously.
Shen Lang was stunned: "Could it be that the people behind Weiguo are not giving up?"
"certainly!"
Zhu Chenluo said seriously: "Then Weiguo was originally the designated candidate to go to Pingnan. Although he can't reach the level of Brother Lang, victory should not be a problem!"
“When we win, we’ll be summoned to the palace, and our status and position will be different instantly!” Zhu Chenluo poured a glass of wine for himself and Shen Lang respectively, and continued: “It will be a great help to the forces behind him, but now it has been destroyed by Brother Lang!”
“Although Brother Lang has made great achievements now, which can offset all of this, the forces behind him will not give up so easily.” Zhu Chenluo raised his glass, looked at Shen Lang and warned: “Be careful!”
Shen Lang nodded, and he clinked glasses with Zhu Chenluo. Shen Lang raised his head and drank it. He smacked his lips and looked at Zhu Chenluo and said, "Brother Luo seems to be very afraid of that force!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chenluo smiled bitterly and said, "That force is not something I can handle!"
"Oh?" Shen Lang was surprised: "Even you can't handle it?"
"Um!"
Zhu Chenluo nodded and whispered , "The force is too great, and so many are involved!"
As he spoke, Zhu Chenluo stood up and ordered all the guards and maids in the hall to leave. He then closed the door of the hall, sat down again, and said, "This time the emperor asked me to manage Nanyue, but it was just a means to protect me!"
"Ah?" Shen Lang exclaimed in surprise. He didn't expect that there were so many profound meanings in this.
"I guess you in the Chinese court are also restless!" At this time, Wanyan Ruyu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
Zhu Chenluo looked sideways at Wanyan Ruyu and did not speak any more.
"What's the big deal? Every court is different. The more prosperous it is, the more muddy the water is. It's the same in China and Nanyue!"
Seeing that Zhu Chenluo remained silent, Wanyan Ruyu poured herself a cup and said, "No need to do this. Even if I tipped off the person, it would be useless!"
After hearing this, Zhu Chenluo still did not speak, but looked at Shen Lang.
Shen Lang naturally understood Zhu Chenluo's inquiring look, and said, "She is completely mine now, it's okay, don't worry!" As he said that, he blinked at Zhu Chenluo.
"Oh!" Zhu Chenluo nodded with a smile.
When Wanyan Ruyu heard Shen Lang's words, her face turned red and she glared at Shen Lang fiercely. She said nothing and just drank by herself.
Zhu Chenluo got Shen Lang's assurance, and then continued: "The court is indeed in turmoil now. The emperor knows my character very well, so he let me leave the imperial capital!"
"You should understand my concerns about what Brother Lang and I said at the beginning!" Zhu Chenluo added at the end: "If Brother Lang is involved, it will be extremely serious!"
Shen Lang looked at Zhu Chenluo and didn't speak for a long time. After pouring a glass of wine, he slowly said: "I am just an ordinary person who wants to eat and wait for death. I don't want to get involved in many matters, and I am too lazy to get involved!"
He drank the wine in the glass and said, "But you are my friend. No matter what time it is, you are my friend!"
Zhu Chenluo smiled sincerely when he heard Shen Lang's words, poured another glass for Shen Lang, poured himself a glass, and said, "Cheers to our friendship!"
"cheers!"
…
Return to the city...
Shen Lang leaned against the carriage, burping drunkenly. Wanyan Ruyu, who was sitting opposite him, frowned and said, "You've decided to help him. Can you do it?"
After hearing this, Shen Lang smiled slightly, looked at Wanyan Ruyu and said, "My dear, whether it will work or not is not something I consider. I just don't want to lose him as a friend!"
"The word 'friend' has a different meaning. If you fail, the consequences will be terrible. If you succeed, it won't be any better!"
Wanyan Ruyu looked at Shen Lang and said, "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. You must understand this principle, right?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lang sat up straight, grabbed Wanyan Ruyu's small hand, and spoke while looking at Wanyan Ruyu.
"I am a cunning rabbit, but I am not a running dog!"
