Ling Yun was forced to have no choice but to finally make up his mind to fly far away with Lian Nanchun and leave this place of right and wrong. At the same time, he also discussed with Lian Nanchun that he would always say goodbye to Mr. Lu before leaving.
Lian Nanchun lowered his head and thought for a while and said: "Zhichao, it is understandable that you say goodbye to Mr. Lu and that you have a beginning and an end. But if Mr. Lu tries his best to stop you and prevent you from leaving, what should you do?"
A look of determination flashed in Ling Yun's eyes, "As long as I decide something, no one can stop it!"
The worry in Lian Nanchun's eyes flashed, "You are really determined to leave, but with your martial arts skills, of course no one in the entire Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice can stop you; but have you ever thought about it? , if they use both soft and hard tactics, or adopt other means..."
Ling Yun glanced at her with his clear eyes, and a comforting smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "Chun'er, are you a little unfounded? I have been with them for so many years, and I still don't understand what kind of people they are? Don't worry. Come on, it’ll be fine! Having said that, even if there are any other methods, they are aimed at others, and they can’t use them against their own people!”
"But..." Lian Nanchun hesitated. She lowered her almond-shaped eyes, smiled and thought for a while, as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words when they reached her lips.
She finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the post station on the west side of the Yulin area outside the city when we meet the day after tomorrow. I'll see you there."
After saying that, she raised her face, the brilliance in her beautiful eyes flashed cleverly, she gazed lovingly into Ling Yun's eyes, and smiled in return...
The next morning. Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment.
Ling Yun, dressed in white, came to the door of Mr. Lu's study with a lonely expression, and said to Rong'er, the book boy standing on guard outside the study: "Rong'er, please go in and report, saying that I have something important to see you."
Rong'er raised his head, glanced at him silently, then responded in a low voice, pushed the door open and went in.
Looking at Rong'er's timid expression, Ling Yun felt a silent sadness well up in his heart.
In normal times, if Ling Yun came to see Mr. Lu for something, he would just open the door and come in without asking.
Because no one in the entire Ministry of Punishment knows that Master Lu and Ling Yun are inseparable from each other. Master Lu has always regarded Ling Yun as his confidant and nephew; Ling Yun is also a father and friend to Master Lu, and both of them are about to get better. It’s just one thing, so why do we need so much red tape?
But since those things happened a few days ago, things are different now. As a result, Ling Yun and Mr. Lu had a great gap, and they had become much more distant and indifferent to each other.
Especially this morning, as soon as Ling Yun entered the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Punishment, everyone who saw him seemed to be looking at him with strange eyes, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, standing at the door of Mr. Lu's study, he was thinking a lot, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling.
Not far behind him, several curious and bored people were pointing at him, winking, and whispering about something.
But when he turned to look over there, they pretended to be nonchalant and went about their business, as if nothing had happened. At that moment, Ling Yun felt like a light on his back, and it was extremely painful.
He could only force himself to stand stiffly and motionless, not even willing to blink...
He didn't know how long he stood outside the study before finally seeing Rong'er come out with a gloomy face.
Rong'er lowered his head and avoided Ling Yun's anxious and expectant eyes with a guilty conscience, and hesitantly spoke: "Commander Ling, I'm sorry, my lord said... that he is very busy now and doesn't have time... to see you... "
Ling Yun's heart twitched unconsciously, and his originally pale face turned even paler. Is Mr. Lu really fed up with him to the point where he doesn’t even want to see him?
He raised his head slightly, closed his eyes to calm the turbulence and struggle in his heart; when he opened his eyes again, he returned to his usual calmness, "It doesn't matter, I'll wait here. Whenever he has time, I'll come back." Go in..."
Rong'er's hand hanging by his side curled up unconsciously; he bit his lip hard, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke calmly: "Commander Ling, I think you'd better not... wait any longer, it will be in vain." Wait, sir, he...he won't see you..."
Ling Yun looked blank for a moment and didn't speak for a long time. He felt as if his chest was being hit mercilessly by a heavy hammer, making it feel numb; even though it was so painful, he couldn't feel any pain at all.
Indeed it is. In fact, it's not that Ling Yun didn't think of this just now, he just didn't want to believe it.
There is no worst, only worse. Now that the matter had been answered in the affirmative, instead of showing too much anger, he smiled easily.
The one with a cold smile, a bit bleak and desolate, made the trembling Rong'er beside him feel cold and desolate.
Ling Yun straightened his tall and strong figure, a sharp and decisive look flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, he walked up to the door and walked in.
He moved quickly and swiftly, and before Ronger could react, he had already rushed into the study.
Rong'er was dumbfounded for a moment; it took him a while to regain his composure, and hurriedly followed him in, shouting over and over again: "Lead Ling Tong! Ling Tong!..."
Ling Yun ignored the yelling behind him and barged in, standing in front of Mr. Lu's desk like a Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.
Mr. Lu slowly raised his head and glanced at him expressionlessly, seemingly not surprised by his uninvited behavior.
"Commander Ling, what's the matter with you coming here in such a hurry?" Mr. Lu said casually, waving his hand to Rong'er who followed in hastily, gesturing for him to go down first.
Rong'er lowered his eyebrows and said "Oh" submissively, and went out dejectedly.
There were only two people in the study, Lu Wenzheng and Ling Yun.
After Lu Wenzheng finished speaking what he just said, he lowered his head again and continued to study the files on the case with all his concentration; as if the person standing in front of him was nothing.
Looking at Mr. Lu's distant and indifferent expression, Ling Yun felt sad in his heart. He gave a deep salute to Mr. Lu, "Exactly. Ling Yun came this time to bid farewell to Mr. Lu."
"Farewell?..." Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, and finally raised his head, "What do you mean?"
Ling Yun stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice: "The Holy One gave Ling Yun three days to capture the owl demon girl, otherwise I will be executed and executed, but she is the person I love most.
"I can't hurt her; and I don't want to sit back and wait for death, just to die without knowing anything - so after thinking about it, there is only one way to go, and that is to fly away with her and stay away from the place of right and wrong forever..."
Lu Wenzheng's desolate body shook violently; he was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up, "Ling Yun, are you crazy? Just for such a woman, you would abandon everything you have and walk away irresponsibly. Let it go?
"Have you ever thought about the princess, the brothers in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice, this manor, and how to clean up this mess after you leave?"
Ling Yun suddenly bent over and knelt down, his dark jade-like eyes were covered with a thick layer of mist, and he said in a thick voice: "Of course I have thought about it! ... To be honest, I don't want to be irresponsible. People who run away and escape from reality!
"But sir, I really have no choice! In short, if I were to catch her and hurt her, it would be absolutely impossible.
"So there are only two ways in front of us now: 1. Please fulfill my wishes and let her fly away; 2. Sir, kill me now..."
"Ling Yun, you...are you threatening me?..." Lu Wenzheng's gloomy face turned extremely ugly, and a bleak smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Ling Yun lowered his eyelids weakly, his long eyelashes covering the dark and unclear emotions in his eyes, "Ling Yun doesn't dare."
"You!..." Lu Wenzheng was so angry that he was shaking all over; he suppressed the anger that was about to rise, and sneered: "Who doesn't know that you, Commander Ling, are not afraid of heaven and earth? You are fearless and fearless, and you even dare to obey imperial orders. Disobey, you...what else do you dare not do?"
Ling Yun's whole body stiffened, and with an imperceptible forbearance, he slowly tightened his grip on the slightly trembling tiger's mouth at his side; he said nothing, but his head hung lower.
Looking at Ling Yun's heartbroken look, Lu Wenzheng's throat rolled twice, and finally he spoke with difficulty, "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, so everything has to go with him - well, I'll make it happen for you." , let’s go! Take her away from the capital forever and never come back again..."
His voice trembled slightly, like broken feathers floating in the wind that would disperse at any time.
Ling Yun didn't expect Master Lu to agree to his request so readily, and was a little confused for a moment. He kowtowed deeply to Mr. Lu three times and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Mr. Lu..."
Mr. Lu turned his back and stopped looking at him.
Ling Yun noticed that Mr. Lu seemed to be choking in his throat, but he did not dare to speak. Because he was afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, he would regret the decision he had just made...
The next day, the morning light faded and the sun rose in the east.
Ling Yun packed his bags silently in his room. He couldn't help but think about leaving this place where he had lived for many years and had deep feelings for it.
He was thinking about Mr. Lu who had been kind to him, he was thinking about his brothers in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice who had shared weal and woe with him, he was thinking about the career that he had been passionate about, and he was thinking about...
For a moment, he felt extremely confused; but when he thought about this choice again, he firmly believed that he was doing the right thing.
There are eight or nine cases where life is unsatisfactory, so how can there be the best of both worlds? Now that you have made such a choice, you must go on with confidence and never regret it even if you make a mistake...
"I never blame fate for my mistakes, and I'm not afraid of how bumpy the journey will be. I will go to the place in my dreams, and I won't regret my mistakes..."
At this time, the door suddenly clicked. Looking back, I saw Princess Huanyu gently opening the door and walking in with a lonely expression.
She walked very slowly, and the morning sunlight made her pale jade face look even more cold and desolate, like a broken jade; her eyes, which were originally as crystal clear as water, now only had hopeless desolation and emptiness.
"Jun Ma, have you made up your mind to leave here?" she asked expressionlessly.
