son, don't mess around

Chapter 604 The Angry Princess

in the courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian was somewhat surprised when he saw Li Piaomiao, who was emitting a faint chill.

It was late at night, but the lights in the courtyard were still bright.

Li Piaomiao was wearing a plain white dress, and her temperament was cold. She had just come out of retreat, and had not combed her black hair, which was swaying in the wind. Her stunning face was as cold as frost!

A hint of coldness lingered around his body, and his calm eyes contained murderous intent.

Lin Jiangnian rarely saw her with such an expression!

The eldest princess has always left him with the impression of being cold and calm, and she never shows any emotion no matter what happens.

But at this moment, Lin Jiangnian felt the suppressed murderous aura in the eldest princess' heart.

No hiding at all!

You can see that she is very angry at the moment!

Obviously, all this is related to An Ning's injury.

I have to say that An Ning did look a little disheveled at this moment. His clothes were messy and dirty, and the blood on the cloth wrapped in the crude bandage on his arm made him look miserable and his injuries were serious.

No wonder Li Piaomiao was so angry!
She asked Lin Jiangnian for the list, obviously wanting to stand up for An Ning.

She didn't even ask for the specific list!

Rather than let the innocent go, this princess has always been in the habit of killing the innocent.

At this time, An Ning, who had been keeping her head down, finally seemed to think of something. She raised her head slightly, looked at her princess, then at Lin Jiangnian, and opened her mouth to say something.

"what happened?"

Lin Jiangnian noticed her expression and turned around to ask.

"Yes, it was a man in a black robe..."

An Ning looked away from Lin Jiangnian and lowered her voice.

"what?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't quite hear it clearly.

An Ning lowered her head and spoke carefully in a low voice: "A man in a black robe appeared. He, he has extremely high martial arts skills..."

Man in black robe?
Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully, as if realizing something: "An Ning, what you mean is... In addition to those assassins before, you also encountered a man in black robes?"

"Is his martial arts skill very high?"

"He hurt you?!"

An Ning didn't say anything and nodded.

Lin Jiangnian immediately understood.

No wonder he felt something was strange just now!
An Ning's martial arts skills are very high. Although his exact strength is unclear, it is speculated that he is at least above the third rank, possibly the second rank. His apparent strength is definitely higher than Lin Jiangnian's.

As for those assassins before, when Lin Jiangnian fought with them, he was able to judge their approximate strength, which was about the fourth rank.

With such strength, it is impossible for it to pose any major threat to An Ning.

Even if they join forces, although An Ning might accidentally suffer some losses, it is unlikely that they will cause such great harm to An Ning!

When Lin Jiangnian was checking An Ning's arm injury just now, he noticed that An Ning had suffered minor internal injuries.

Those were clearly injuries that could only be caused by an attack from a master with even stronger internal strength. Those assassins obviously couldn't do that!
However, Lin Jiangnian was too concerned about An Ning's injuries and did not think about it carefully until An Ning mentioned the existence of a man in black robe. Only then did Lin Jiangnian realize something.

"What black-robed man? What's his origin? Did you fight him?!"

Lin Jiangnian asked, his expression slightly solemn.

An Ning's eyes were a little dazed. Recalling the scene of the fight with the man in black robe, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

Although it was only a brief fight, it left a deep impression on her!
An Ning spoke in a low voice, stuttering a little, as she spoke about what had happened before Lin Jiangnian found her. She also described the appearance of the man in black robe and his extremely strange, profound and terrifying martial arts.

After An Ning finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.

Man in black robe?
Wearing a bronze mask?
And his martial arts skills can rival Li Piaomiao's?
How many people in the world fit these descriptions?
To be precise, there is only one person...the leader of the Celestial God Cult!

No matter whether it was Lin Jiangnian or Li Piaomiao, the first person that came to their mind was the leader!
The leader of the Heavenly God Cult really appeared in Linjiang City? !

Lin Jiangnian's eyes narrowed slightly. He had previously asked Lin Qingqing to investigate Liu Su's whereabouts, and he had learned from the followers of the Tianshen Sect that the sect leader might appear in Linzhou.

Unexpectedly, he has already arrived in Linjiang City, and is coming for me? !
Lin Jiangnian frowned, wondering what was the purpose of the leader of the God Cult looking for him tonight?
Are you here for the Xuan Yang Heart Method?
Counting the time, it has been almost half a year since Lin Jiangnian handed the first volume of Xuanyang Heart Sutra to the leader in the capital.

I don't know how the leader is doing in his practice now?
Calculating the time, it is indeed time to ask Lin Jiangnian for the second volume!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's eyes were deep, yet somewhat puzzled.

When the leader of the Tianshen Cult didn't see Lin Jiangnian, he wanted to attack An Ning, perhaps he wanted to use An Ning to force Lin Jiangnian to show up. But why did he suddenly let An Ning go and left?
Lin Jiangnian wanted to ask An Ning for details, but An Ning looked confused and didn't know how to explain.

She really didn't know what was going on!
She just remembered that she had taken a blow from the other party in the alley before, but was slightly injured. Just when she thought she might die tonight, the man in black robe suddenly left.

Weird!
baffling!

"What do you think?"

Lin Jiangnian turned his head to look at Li Piaomiao who was standing beside him. To be honest, Li Piaomiao might be more familiar with that leader.

On New Year's Eve, the Third Prince rebelled! Li Piaomiao fought with a mysterious man in black robes in the palace and was seriously injured!

Although Li Piaomiao never revealed it, Lin Jiangnian had always guessed that the mysterious man in black was most likely the leader of the Heavenly God Sect!

Li Piaomiao looked at An Ning with a cold expression: "Did he hurt you?"

"Um……"

An Ning nodded.

"Where is he now?"

An Ning shook her head.

Li Piaomiao looked at Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian said: "The city gates are closed at this time, he is most likely still in the city. The city defense troops and the guards of Prince Lin's Palace are searching the city, they should be able to find some clues soon..."

Before Lin Jiangnian finished speaking, Li Piaomiao looked at An Ning and said, "Give me the sword."

An Ning was slightly stunned, not knowing why the princess suddenly asked her for the sword. But after a brief pause, An Ning still handed the sword to the princess.

Li Piaomiao took the sword and turned around: "I'm going to go out for a while!"

"and many more……"

Lin Jiangnian realized something and quickly called her: "Calm down first, don't rush..."

Before Lin Jiangnian finished speaking, Li Piaomiao's figure flashed away from where he was, leaving behind a shadow. When he blinked again, the figure in white had already appeared outside the courtyard, and a white shadow passed by in the sky.

Soon, there was no trace of him.

Only Lin Jiangnian and An Ning were left standing there, looking in the direction where Li Piaomiao left.

After a while, Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply.

Can't persuade!
I can't persuade her at all!
An Ning was injured tonight, and Li Piaomiao was obviously angry. She asked An Ning for a sword and left in such a hurry, obviously going to settle accounts with the leader of the Tianshen Sect.

But she was a little too impatient!
Not to mention whether he can be found or not, even if he can be found... that leader's martial arts skills are extremely high, probably on par with Li Piaomiao!
In the battle in the palace half a year ago, Li Piaomiao was seriously injured, which triggered the cold poison in her body. If Lin Jiangnian hadn't rescued her, she would have been in danger!

Now that she's leaving in such a hurry, it's really hard to feel at ease.

Lin Jiangnian quickly summoned the guards. After Lin Jiangnian was assassinated, Lin Qingqing had already left the house with the guards to investigate the assassin.

Lin Jiangnian called Lin Kong, who was still in the mansion, and ordered him to lead a team of the prince's personal soldiers out of the mansion immediately to follow the princess to search for the leader of the Tianshen Sect, and at the same time ordered them to protect the princess. After Lin Kong received the order, he left in a hurry without any hesitation.

Now that the princess is temporarily staying at the Lin Palace, they naturally have to ensure the princess's safety. If the princess has any accidents in the Lin Palace, the Lin Palace will be blamed.

……

"Your Highness, An Ning, you guys are back?!"

backyard.

Jinxiu picked up her skirt and hurried into the room.

As soon as she walked into the room, she seemed to see something unbelievable and stopped abruptly: "What... are you doing?!"

Jinxiu opened her eyes wide and looked at the scene in the room.

Bright lights illuminated the front hall, and An Ning, dressed in a white dress, was sitting at the table.

But at this moment, her hair was a little messy, and there was a hint of shame and anger on her fair face. She was biting her lower lip and looking away.

Like a bullied young wife!
Her white dress was a little tattered, as if it had been torn by someone. At first glance, it looked like it had just been destroyed.

Lin Jiangnian was standing right in front of An Ning, with his back to the door, and leaning towards An Ning. From Jinxiu's perspective, she could see An Ning, who looked "humiliated and ashamed", and was standing in front of An Ning, "tearing" her clothes, revealing a glimpse of her snow-white skin!

What is this doing?
The picture is full of sense!
Jinxiu's head immediately buzzed!
Her beautiful eyes immediately opened wide and her voice became rapid and nervous!

Jinxiu's voice actually scared the two people in the room.

Especially An Ning, when she heard Jinxiu's voice, her body trembled subconsciously. When she raised her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Jinxiu who appeared at the door, looking at the two of them with shock and anger.

It was as if the two of them had done something unfair to her behind her back!

In an instant, An Ning looked frightened and instinctively wanted to struggle!

"Don't move!"

Just as she was about to move, she heard Lin Jiangnian's voice. She froze again, not daring to move.

Lin Jiangnian turned around and glanced at Jinxiu at the door, puzzled: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"

"you……"

Jinxiu's voice was a little hoarse, and she was about to ask a question, but after calming down for a moment, she quickly discovered something.

"An Ning, you, what's wrong with you?!"

When she first broke in and saw this scene, Jinxiu really suspected that His Highness was doing something forceful or something like that to An Ning.

But after Jinxiu calmed down, she felt that it was not quite right. His Highness did not seem like that kind of person... and how could he not close the door?
After taking a calm look, Jinxiu quickly discovered that something was wrong!

An Ning doesn't look right!
After taking a closer look, Jinxiu's expression suddenly changed: "An Ning, are you hurt?!"

Jinxiu soon discovered that An Ning looked a little unwell and her body looked a little messy. On the other side, the sleeve of An Ning's right arm was torn off, revealing the girl's fair skin, and there was a red wound on her arm.

Jinxiu then realized something... His Highness was helping An Ning check her wound?

For a moment, she felt guilty for having misunderstood His Highness. But then, this feeling was swept away by the nervousness of knowing that An Ning was injured. She quickly moved forward and when she found An Ning's wound, her face became even uglier: "What, what's going on?"

"An Ning, why are you hurt? Who hurt you?!"

An Ning looked away slightly and lowered her head: "I, I'm fine..."

"You're bleeding, how come you're okay?!"

Jinxiu looked nervous and spoke in an anxious tone.

She never thought that An Ning would be injured not long after they separated?!
What exactly is going on?

"Your Highness, how did An Ning get injured? Is it serious?"

Jinxiu's pretty face was tense and a little confused.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "Go and prepare a basin of hot water for me!"

"okay!"

After hearing His Highness' words, Jinxiu finally felt relieved. She no longer cared about being anxious and quickly got up to go out to get some hot water.

Lin Jiangnian tore off the cloth on An Ning's sleeve, untied the simple bandage, and completely exposed the wound.

The wound was not deep, and the bone was not exposed. It was just a flesh wound. Due to the previous bandage, the wound had stopped bleeding. However, it still needed to be treated properly, otherwise if the wound got infected, it would be bad.

"Does it still hurt?"

Lin Jiang asked in a young voice.

no respond.

He looked up and saw An Ning staring at him in a daze.

When Lin Jiangnian looked up, their eyes met. An Ning seemed to come back to her senses suddenly, a blush appeared on her fair face, and she looked away in panic.

"No, it hurts!"

The tone of voice is very unnatural.

"It really doesn't hurt?"

Lin Jiangnian asked again.

An Ning was silent and said nothing.

"Don't be so stubborn next time!"

Lin Jiang sighed. How could it not hurt? No matter how powerful a master is, he is still a human being and will feel pain when he is injured.

What’s more, this is a weak little girl in front of him who was crying last time?

An Ning's body was slightly stiff, and he just sat there stiffly, straight and straight.

He turned his head away and didn't look at Lin Jiangnian.

Like it was deliberate and stubborn.

Childish behavior!
Lin Jiangnian shook his head, finding it a little funny.
