Nine Turns of Nirvana

Lu Yu gently moved the tea cup on the table and watched Zhou Peiling pour the tea in with peace of mind.

Although it was just a simple act of pouring tea, this was actually Lu Yu's beating on this rich lady. After this beating, Zhou Peiling became much more honest and obedient, at least no longer completely resistant or refusing. cooperative attitude.

"Tell me, why do you want to kill me?"

Lu Yu sipped a cup of tea carefully and asked lazily.

Zhou Peiling looked at Lu Yu's leisurely look and couldn't help but feel his teeth itching with hatred: "You are full of evil and your hands are full of blood. Do I need any reason to kill you?"

"Even if I am full of evil and my hands are full of blood, I have never offended you, Miss Zhou. You have to have a reason to kill, right? If it was your father who wanted to kill me, it would be excusable, but now it is clear that he is Your father wants to cooperate with me, but you want to kill me. This is too unreasonable, right?" Lu Yu said in confusion.

"Do you really think my father has some good intentions in recommending you as his consort?"

Zhou Peiling sneered.

"You are still here dreaming of becoming a prince-in-law and having a beautiful woman in your arms, but you have no idea that you are in danger!"

"To tell you the truth, there are ten thousand reasons to kill you, but the most damning reason for you is that you have become the consort of Princess Gaoyang!"

"Yeah?"

Lu Yu couldn't help showing an interested expression.

"how do I say this?"

"Who do you think Princess Gaoyang is? Is she just a princess with military power? Since the founding of our Dawu Dynasty, there has never been a figure who can be as loved by the people as she is, regardless of men, women, old and young. Everyone admires her. She is not just a commander of the border army, not just a princess, she is more like the incarnation of a myth, a living god, and the god in the hearts of all the people of the Great Wu Dynasty! "

Zhou Peiling's tone became more and more excited as she spoke, but her expression was filled with an indescribable piety.

"And you, such a shameless person who is full of evil, full of blood, and commits all kinds of evil, dare to agree to become the consort of Princess Gaoyang in an attempt to get involved and slander Her Highness. What you are doing is clearly blasphemy to the gods and to Her Highness the Princess. How disrespectful!”

"I am not the only one who wants to kill you, there are thousands of people of the Wu Dynasty. Although I have been captured by mistake, the assassination operation against you will never stop here. When you step into Kyoto, It’s time for you to be executed!”

Lu Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Looking at Zhou Peiling's enthusiastic expression, she didn't seem to be hypocritical at all. It was obvious that these words came from her heart.

He had no idea that Zhou Peiling wanted to assassinate him for such a reason.

No wonder the Emperor Dawu wanted Princess Gaoyang to get married, so that she could put down her military power and live in the household to take care of her husband and raise her children. Even the daughters of dignified princes worshiped this princess so enthusiastically. It can be imagined that in the court of Dawu Dynasty, Inside and outside the hall, how should we pay homage to this princess with outstanding military achievements?

Even Lu Yu couldn't help but have the urge to split open Zhou Peiling's head to see what was going on, to see how this woman's brain was made up, whether there was a muscle missing in her head, or whether it was the famous Gaoyang Commander What spell did the Lord cast on her?

In fact, Lu Yu had already done this. He connected his consciousness to the first star and carefully scanned Zhou Peiling's body, but found nothing strange.

Neither any eclipse of the blood moon similar to the one spread by the Red Moon Demon Lord in the demon's body was found, nor any other suspicious things.

Could it be that Miss Zhou's fanatical admiration for Princess Gaoyang is really just because of her great charm?

Or does the other party have other more sophisticated methods that can turn ordinary people into their followers without knowing it?

The answer to this question may only be finally revealed when Lu Yu sees the Gaoyang Princess with his own eyes.

Obviously, Zhou Zunian must also know that his beloved daughter has been deeply "poisoned" by Princess Gaoyang, so he finally agreed to leave his daughter to him, which shows that he is already helpless to deal with such a situation.

Unknowingly, Lu Yu suddenly began to look forward to this princess whom he had never met before.

"What? Do you know you are afraid now?"

Zhou Peiling couldn't help but become a little proud when she saw that the other party's eyes were flickering but he remained silent.

Lu Yu came back to his senses, and with a thought in his heart, he said, "Miss Zhou's words were like an enlightenment, which suddenly made me realize, why not... I won't get married!"

"No... no more?"

Zhou Peiling couldn't help but be stunned, obviously she didn't expect that the other party would suddenly make such a decision.

"Is this...serious?"

Lu Yu shrugged indifferently: "Anyway, this marriage is not what I want to get married. It was arranged for me by your father and His Majesty the Emperor... As you said, there is no benefit to getting married like this. On the contrary, it will cause trouble." There are a lot of dangers, so it’s better not to end it!”

"But..." Zhou Peiling obviously couldn't keep up with Lu Yu's out-of-the-box thinking, and stammered, "This matter was personally appointed by His Majesty, and the golden words have been spoken out. People in Kyoto have already begun to prepare for this marriage. How can it be so?" Can it be changed easily?”

"That's right!" Lu Yu deliberately sighed helplessly, "It's easy for me to handle myself. I can leave at any time. The key is that my relatives named Lu in Ding'an can escape but the monks cannot escape from the temple. If I just If I leave, if His Majesty pursues me later, my relatives will definitely be in bad luck!"

"It's better..."

Having said this, Lu Yu finally came to his conclusion.

"Miss Zhou, please help me think about it. Is there any way that I can meet with Princess Gaoyang in advance so that we can sit down together and discuss how we can solve this matter satisfactorily?"

"You want to see His Highness Princess Gaoyang?" Zhou Peiling was stunned.

Lu Yu's face was full of hope: "Can Miss Zhou do it for me?"

Zhou Peiling hesitated and said: "Let me give it a try..."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and continued: "Besides, I just gave up the opportunity to marry His Highness Princess Gaoyang. I always feel that I am still a little bit shortchanged... Why don't you, Miss Zhou, fill the position of Your Highness Princess Gaoyang from now on?" , As long as I get you, I will naturally not try to take advantage of Her Majesty the Princess!"

"What?"

Zhou Peiling was shocked, angry and anxious.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lu Yu said without changing his expression: "I'm not talking nonsense. Didn't Miss Zhou say that Her Highness the Princess is a god-like figure? Could it be that in order for the god in her mind not to be tainted by evil people like me, could Miss Zhou even make this sacrifice?" Not even aware of it?”

"Besides, Your Majesty and Your Majesty are personally pushing for this matter. The arrow is already on the string and has to be fired. If we can't stop it, we will still have the last trump card... Let's just say that you and I are gradually falling in love and have made a lifelong commitment to each other. I can only express my gratitude to the Princess for her marriage. Will your Majesty still force me to marry Princess Gaoyang?"

After saying this, Lu Yu looked at Zhou Peiling with a smile.

In this way, you can test out whether the other party's admiration for Princess Gaoyang is true or false, and to what extent.

I saw Zhou Peiling's face flushed instantly and she was so embarrassed.

"This matter...please allow me to think about it before talking..."
