Chapter 216: Done

"Alright, you all go and rest; you've worked hard during this time. In a few days, once this busy period is over, I will drink with all you brothers!"

At this moment, inside Anzhou City of the Xichuan Zongfu, Liang Ruyue was cupping his hands to bid farewell to a few Black-Clad Guard brothers.

These few Black-Clad Guards were not the elites he had brought with him, but rather the Xichuan Black-Clad Guards he had just promoted.

Just as Shen Yu had thought, Liang Ruyue was indeed a talent; in such a short time, he was already calling them brothers.

At this time, he had already firmly grasped the Black-Clad Guards and the Capture Gate in his hands; although it couldn't be called "as easy as moving one's fingers," there was absolutely no problem with normal command.

Although there were still some barriers between them, as long as he was given a little bit of time, these barriers would not be a problem.

"Alright, everyone disperse. Once the Lord returns, all you brothers will be heavily rewarded!"

"Yes, Lord!" Seeing that Liang Ruyue seemed somewhat impatient to leave, they also very tactfully cupped their hands to bid farewell.

After seeing these people off, Liang Ruyue immediately hurried to an exquisite courtyard, pushed open the gate, and walked in.

"Master Liang?"

Seeing Liang Ruyue walk into the courtyard with a face full of exhaustion, the young girl who had been reading in the courtyard instantly had a few more smiles on her face; in an instant, it was like a spring breeze blowing past, and a hundred flowers blooming.

The moment he saw the young girl, Liang Ruyue was almost mesmerized, and he also walked up with a smile on his face.

This young girl was someone he had picked up on the side of the street; when he first saw her, she was very pitiful, lying on the roadside in rags and covered in dust.

He couldn't bear it; he had originally wanted to let his subordinates take her back to be cared for, but later discovered she was a woman. Having no choice, he found a few rough cleaning women to take care of her.

Later, after she was washed clean, he discovered she was a peerless beauty; although he really didn't want to admit it, the moment he saw her, Liang Ruyue's heart had already been captured.

Later, after having contact with her, he learned that she was a young lady from a prominent family, the eldest daughter of the Shui family back then, proficient in everything from zither and chess to calligraphy and painting.

It was just that later, the Shui family was framed by the Feng Family, and the whole family was ruined.

Shui Hanzhi, this eldest daughter, had also been wandering the streets ever since; in order not to be bullied, she dressed herself dirtily every day.

According to her, before Liang Ruyue saved her, she hadn't eaten for several days. If she hadn't been saved by Liang Ruyue, she might have already starved to death on the street.

Now, hearing that Liang Ruyue had cooperated with Lord Shen Yu to raid the Feng Family, it could be considered as having avenged her Shui family.

Therefore, Shui Hanzhi's gratitude toward him was beyond words, and she decided on the spot to offer herself to him.

Originally, Liang Ruyue had thought about refusing, after all, he was not a person who held favors to demand repayment. However, this little girl was truly too charming, so he couldn't hold back.

A night of clouds and rain, everything happened naturally!

"Lord, you've worked hard!" When seeing the exhausted look on the silent Liang Ruyue's face, the young girl couldn't help but mutter with heartache.

"Lord Shen is also, how can he work people like this!"

"Shut up, the Lord's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain; in the future, such words must never be spoken again, otherwise, don't blame me for turning hostile!"

"Master Liang, don't be angry, I was just concerned about you."

Taking off Liang Ruyue's outer garment, the young girl hugged Liang Ruyue from behind, and the sensation of that close contact made it difficult for Liang Ruyue to hold himself back any longer.

Turning his head back, Liang Ruyue looked at this unbelievably beautiful woman before him with bloodshot eyes, then suddenly picked her up, walked into the room, and threw her roughly onto the bed.

Throughout the whole process, the woman only struggled slightly before blushing and submitting. That shy, red face and charming expression made one feel as if they were being consumed by lust.

Just like in the past, heavy panting and charming moans drifted out, startling the birds resting on the eaves.

When the clouds cleared and the rain stopped, the two hugged each other and fell asleep, both with happy smiles on their faces.

However, when the night was deep and quiet, the young girl suddenly opened her eyes and pushed the Liang Ruyue who was hugging her to the side, not caring at all if he would be awakened.

Putting on her outer garment, Shui Hanzhi arrived outside in an instant.

If this scene had been seen by Liang Ruyue, he would certainly have felt ashamed of his own inferiority. Based on this display of light-body technique alone, Shui Hanzhi seemed to be much stronger than him.

How could such a person have wandered the streets, let alone not eaten for days?

And at this moment, a person walked out from a corner outside the courtyard, a person completely shrouded in a black robe, quietly staring at the Shui Hanzhi who had come out.

"Didn't I tell you not to come? Do you know that Shen Yu could return at any time? With such an expert, he would notice even the slightest thing wrong!"

"What are you afraid of? Is there anything in this world you can't accomplish?"

"But we told you to seduce Shen Yu, not to seduce a Black-Clad Guard!"

"What a joke, I don't want to die yet. Seduce Shen Yu? You might as well tell me to commit suicide; why don't you go yourself?"

"You!"

"You what you?" With a cross look on her pretty face, Shui Hanzhi looked at the other party with disdain. "Remember, we are only in a cooperative relationship. You provide the money, I provide the effort—it's that simple. How I do it is my business!"

"Rest assured, Liang Ruyue is Shen Yu's confidant, and the two are often together. Using his body to strike will surely catch him off guard. Don't worry, I will definitely win an opportunity for you!"

"That's best!" Taking another look at Shui Hanzhi, the black-robed person quietly retreated.

Every time he saw her, he had an urge to rush up; this woman was too formidable, it was better to stay far away.

"Hmph, urging me again, urge, urge, urge—is Shen Yu that easy to deal with?" With a cold snort, Shui Hanzhi returned to the room silently and lay down on the bed.

At this moment, Liang Ruyue was still in a deep sleep, as if he had no idea what had happened.

Seeing this, Shui Hanzhi sneered again. Shen Yu's so-called confidant and favorite general, the elite of the elites among the Black-Clad Guards, was nothing more than this.

Just by using a little means, this guy had fallen under her pomegranate skirt. No matter how much you brag about how great you are, aren't you still being played in the palm of my hand?

However, this person Shen Yu was too formidable; she dared not face him directly in any case. But just because you are strong enough doesn't mean everyone around you is that strong.

If I can't take you down, can't I take down these small fries around you? As long as I use the hand of this confidant, Liang Ruyue, I can plot against Shen Yu.

I heard Shen Yu values relationships the most; when the time comes, I'll use some means to plant something in Liang Ruyue.

By then, once my means take effect, let's see if Shen Yu saves him or not.

If he saves him, that Seed will become like a quagmire, constantly absorbing his power. At the very least, it will be able to trap him temporarily.

By then, once the other means I've placed on Liang Ruyue are unleashed, the right time, the right place, and the right people will all be in my hands. Hmph, everything will be accomplished!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but become excited, as if she saw the scene of a top expert falling by her hand; for her, how much pride this would be.

Shen Yu is formidable, but if it comes to playing schemes, you are still a little brother.

And at this time, Liang Ruyue turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Only, what the young girl did not notice was that Liang Ruyue had quietly opened his eyes, but quickly closed them again.

My lord, oh my lord, why haven't you returned yet? Can we not just wander around aimlessly? It's so easy for someone to raid our home!

And look at this, someone has set their sights on me, and even used a Beauty Trap.

My lord, you can't blame me for this; this beauty was truly too beautiful, and I couldn't hold myself back.

Originally, I thought that if a bargain is delivered to my doorstep, it would be a waste not to take it, but who could have imagined that this beauty would have such strong cultivation; this is not something a young person could possess.

The moment I think about the fact that I was tangled in the sheets with a grandmother-aged woman who is at least several decades, or even over a hundred years old, even if this woman is beautiful, it is inevitable that I would have some psychological trauma.

Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the situation, but now it seems it is not certain who is taking advantage of whom and who is suffering the loss.

Does this count as feeding a tiger with my own body? It absolutely does!

"My lord, please come back quickly. Do you know how I have been living during this time? My kidneys, they really cannot endure any more devastation!"

"Lord Shen, if you don't return soon, my hundred-odd pounds really won't be able to hold out anymore."
