When she came out, Shen Ruoyan did not carry a lantern because she was too anxious.

With the light moon above her head, she could see the road under her feet clearly, but she was the only one who knew clearly. Her legs were weak along the way, for fear that she would see something she didn't want to see later. picture.

Passing through the hanging corridor, in front of you is Lu Yan's office.

Shen Ruoyan took a deep breath, leaned against the crescent door and looked forward.

In the quiet night, many guards holding torches shuttled in the open space in front of the government office.

There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and Lu Yan was seen sitting on the horse. His expression was cold, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and a thick cold air seemed to surround his body.

The man jumped off the horse, and a man holding a torch hurriedly walked up to him and said something quickly.

Half of Lu Yan's face was illuminated by the light of the torch.

After listening to the man's words, he seemed to frown, and then disappeared into the night with steady steps.

Knowing that Lu Yan was dealing with official business, Shen Ruoyan didn't bother to disturb him. She looked around and saw no suspect or prison car.

Finally, after finally seeing a familiar person in the crowd, Shen Ruoyan quickly walked over holding up her skirt.

Before Shen Ruoyan could speak, the man saw her coming and took the initiative to say hello: "My cousin hasn't rested so late. Did we wake you up because we were too loud?"

Shen Ruoyan shook her head, "Master Lu..."

Xu Shi saw the anxiety on her face, and the man said: "Master Lu is safe and sound, cousin, there is no need to worry."

Shen Ruoyan smiled and said insinuatingly: "Have all the people you wanted to arrest been arrested this time?"

"That's natural. With Mr. Lu personally taking action, no matter how cunning the imperial convict is, he can be caught." As the man spoke, his face was full of pride that he couldn't hide. "Those two people have been imprisoned. He is in a prison, heavily guarded by soldiers, and he cannot fly out even if he has wings.

Cousin, please rest peacefully.

I still have things to deal with here, so I’ll leave first and you go to bed quickly. "

Shen Ruoyan had no time to continue asking.

The man had already waved to Shen Ruoyan and left without looking back.

However, she still got the information she wanted from the few words she just said.

two people?

Are two people being arrested this time?

Amidst the noise, Shen Ruoyan's heart sank to the bottom.

She was almost certain that it was He Mang and Xue Jinbao who were now in the prison and under heavy guard.

How to do?

She is surrounded by Lu Yan's people now. Even if Shen Ruoyan can secretly enter the prison and successfully release He Mang and Xue Jinbao, they will not be able to escape.

Since Lu Yan had the ability to capture them once, he could naturally capture them a second time.

The key to whether He Mang and Xue Jinbao can be rescued lies in Lu Yan.

If Lu Yan could let them go because of their past friendship, He Mang and Xue Jinbao would have a chance of survival.

But he had captured all the people, so how could he let them go so easily?

Shen Ruoyan was so distraught that she could only go back to her residence, hoping to persuade Lu Yan when he came back, hoping that he would change his mind.

For fear of missing the news of Lu Yan's return, Shen Ruoyan did not dare to stay in the house, so she simply moved a chair and sat in the courtyard so that Lu Yan could see her at first sight when he came back.

The summer night is not too cold, but it is relatively humid here in Yizhou, and it is even dewy at Yinshi. Shen Ruoyan feels that her clothes are damp as she sits, and it feels stuffy and hot against her body, which is very uncomfortable. Comfortable.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard footsteps.

Shen Ruoyan stood up suddenly, and her eyes happened to meet Lu Yan who walked in.

"Why are you sitting here?" Lu Yan frowned and asked with a bit of reproach. He didn't realize that his tone was a little harsh.

He was already holding back a lot of anger, but when he saw Shen Ruoyan not resting so late, the anger in his heart surged even higher.

Shen Ruoyan didn't expect Lu Yan to have such an attitude. She was frightened by the hostility on his body, but she still said bravely: "I want to talk to you about something."

Lu Yan secretly adjusted his breathing, trying to calm down his inner emotions.

But when she saw Shen Ruoyan standing alone in the darkness, she couldn't control her inner anger.

He looked away lightly, knowing that he was not in a state suitable for communication tonight. He turned away from Shen Ruoyan and walked towards his door, saying: "It's too late today, what can I do? Let’s talk about it tomorrow. Go back to your house, change your clothes, and have a good sleep.”

Seeing that Lu Yan didn't want to talk to her, Shen Ruoyan grabbed Lu Yan's sleeve anxiously and said, "Lu Yan, I really have something important to tell you."

Lu Yan's eyes flashed, "Are you sure you want to talk now?"

Shen Ruoyan pursed her lips and nodded seriously.

The matter is urgent. If we don't talk about it today, I'm afraid the matter will become even bigger. Even if Lu Yan changes his mind and wants to let He Mang and Xue Jinbao go, there will be nothing he can do.

"Okay, come in with me." Lu Yan opened the door and walked in.

Shen Ruoyan followed and walked in.

This was not the first time she had entered Lu Yan's house, but Lu Yan was different tonight than usual. Shen Ruoyan's palms were sweating as she kept thinking about how to speak.

Lu Yan sat down and poured them each a cup of tea. His voice was so cold that no trace of emotion could be heard, "Didn't you say you have something to talk about?"

"Yes." Since Lu Yan had captured them all, he must have made up his mind to punish He Mang and Xue Jinbao. Shen Ruoyan didn't want to make any excuses anymore and simply said directly, "Can you let them go?" Both of them?"

"You mean you want me to let go of the two people I captured today?" Lu Yan's eyes fell on Shen Ruoyan, and his voice seemed to be covered with a thin layer of ice.

His cold attitude made Shen Ruoyan's heart tighten, but she still insisted: "Yes, please let them go."

"What are you begging me for?" Lu Yan asked.

Shen Ruoyan was at a loss by this question.

Lu Yan disdains gold, silver and jewelry, and she doesn't have any rare ancient scrolls.

Besides, she was about to get married to Lu Yan, and everything about her would be his. Shen Ruoyan didn't know what she could do to ask Lu Yan for this favor.

Lifting his eyes, Lu Yan's eyes were deep, as if he was suppressing some unexplainable emotions.

Shen Ruoyan's intuition told her that something was very wrong with Lu Yan today. He said this just to make things difficult for her, but the words had already come to this. If he stepped back from the cliff at this moment, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?

"I can promise you whatever you want from me." As she spoke, Shen Ruoyan felt her face heat up.

When Lu Yan heard this, an inexplicable anger surged into his heart.
