son, don't mess around

Chapter 647 You Are the Only Relatives

In the second half of the night, the weather was cool and there was a gentle breeze.

Outside the town, Prince Lin’s army and the Crown Prince’s personal army were cleaning the scene in an orderly manner.

Such a big commotion tonight caused countless damages. Fortunately, Lin Jiangnian was prepared in advance and moved the battlefield outside the town, so it did not cause too much damage to the residents of the town, nor did it cause casualties.

This is already the best result!

Lin Jiangnian did not return to the inn, he stayed at the scene to deal with the aftermath. At the same time, although the black-robed leader was dead, Lin Jiangnian still had many questions in his mind that had not been answered.

He always felt that everything tonight seemed a little weird, especially this black-robed leader!

He did not reveal any information about how he, as the imperial teacher of a small country in southern Xinjiang, sneaked into the Daning Dynasty and became the most popular eunuch around the late emperor.

What is the purpose of all his hard work?
Is it the restoration of the country?

Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful, he felt that he had overlooked some important details, but for a moment, he couldn't remember.

When I turned around, I noticed a beautiful figure appeared not far away from me.

The cold wind was blowing gently. Liu Su, wearing a long gauze dress, was standing there at some point, looking ahead with complicated eyes.

Her black hair fluttered in the wind and her slightly pale face was looking at the scene in a trance.

Even when Lin Jiangnian walked up to her, she seemed not to notice.

"How did you come?"

Lin Jiang young spoke loudly.

When the leader appeared tonight, Lin Jiangnian had already sent people to move the injured Liu Su and others out of the inn, leaving the leader empty-handed.

Now, when everything has settled down, Liu Su appears here again.

"Your injury hasn't healed yet!"

Liu Su didn't say anything, just stared blankly ahead.

After a while, she gradually withdrew her gaze and glanced at Lin Jiangnian: "Is he dead?"

The tone was neither cold nor indifferent, and no emotion could be heard.

"died."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

Then, he added: "The dead cannot die again!"

Hearing this, a hint of understanding flashed across Liu Su's eyes, and then she calmed down.

"Are you feeling complicated?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

"do not know."

Liu Su shook her head lightly. She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

I am indeed a little confused about the death of my leader, and also a little bewildered after achieving my goal.

No matter what, she is the leader of the Tianshen Religion after all. Liu Su, as the saint of the Tianshen Religion, grew up in the Tianshen Religion. The existence of the leader is somewhat special to Liu Su!

But all of this disappeared as soon as she realized that her mother's death was most likely related to this leader.

Then, Liu Su suddenly raised her eyes to look at Lin Jiangnian and stared at him quietly.

"what happened?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

Liu Su was silent for a moment, and just shook her head again. Then she retracted her gaze and looked forward: "I suddenly feel a little regretful."

"Why?"

"I was not able to finish him off myself."

Liu Su spoke in a low voice, her tone sounding somewhat regretful.

She should have ended his life herself!

Although the leader is dead now, she still feels a little regretful that she was unable to kill the enemy with her own hands to avenge her mother.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian chuckled and raised his eyebrows: "What's the difference between you doing it yourself and me doing it myself? You still want to separate from me at this time?"

It was rare that Liu Su did not refute this time. She looked at Lin Jiangnian quietly, with complicated emotions in her eyes.

After a while, she said softly: "Thank you."

Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything either, but just stared at her quietly until Liu Su's expression gradually became a little unnatural.

She realized from Lin Jiangnian's eyes that she might have said something wrong.

After a moment of silence, she looked away.

"I take it back."

Lin Jiangnian then showed a satisfied smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and pinched Liu Su's cheek: "I don't like to hear such words... I don't want to hear such strange words in the future."

Liu Su looked a little unnatural. She turned slightly and looked at the guards who were cleaning up the scene in the distance.

Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked again: "How did you know that the leader is Chen Zhao?"

Lin Jiangnian's doubts about the identity of the leader all originated from Liu Su.

It was Liu Su who mentioned the identity of the black-robed leader to Lin Jiangnian, and it was most likely Chen Zhao.

But how did Liu Su know about this?

Hearing this, Liu Su's eyes were dazed, and after a moment she asked, "Do you still remember Zhao Changyuan?"

"Zhao Changyuan?"

Lin Jiangnian searched his memory and quickly remembered this man's identity—the former protector of the Secret Heaven Division and the confidant of the old eunuch Chen Zhao.

Half a year ago, when he was in the capital, he was killed outside the capital by Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su.

Liu Su stared ahead in thought: "Before Zhao Changyuan died, he told me this news."

"He is the guardian of the Secret Heaven Sect and is also connected to the Celestial God Cult... He knows my identity."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized.

That's it!

Zhao Changyuan was the guardian of the Secret Heaven Division, and he knew that the old eunuch was the leader of the Heavenly God Sect? Therefore, when he learned that Liu Su wanted to kill him, he chose to reveal his identity in order to save his life?

But unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape Liu Su's clutches!
After all, Liu Su even dared to kill the Grand Elder of the Heavenly God Sect. He was definitely a traitor.

Zhao Changyuan’s death was not unjust.

"Then why didn't you tell me about this right away?" Lin Jiangnian asked again.

Liu Su said silently: "At that time, I was not sure whether the news was true or not, so I planned to investigate it myself..."

Having said that, she did not continue speaking, but just glanced at Lin Jiangnian.

"how?"

"After that, there was no chance to talk about it."

Liu Su said calmly.

And Lin Jiangnian also realized something... So many things happened afterwards that Liu Su didn't have the chance to say anything.

Of course, it is possible that she deliberately concealed it.

However, Lin Jiangnian did not ask any more questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, even those closest to them. Liu Su did not tell him the news immediately, and Lin Jiangnian could understand.

Given that Lin Jiangnian was in the capital at the time, even if he knew the news, it would be meaningless to him.

After the Third Prince's rebellion, everyone thought Chen Zhao was dead, even Liu Su. It was not until Liu Su was summoned by the leader again that he realized that things were not simple.

"So, what are your plans next?"

The evening breeze was blowing, and after a long silence, Lin Jiangnian suddenly asked again.

Liu Su was stunned, "I don't know."

The tone is a bit confused!

The motivation that has kept her going throughout the past year is to investigate the cause of her mother's death and... kill the leader!

Although Liu Su did not find any definite evidence about the cause of his mother's death, all signs indicated that the leader was closely related.

Killing the leader has always been her obsession and goal.

Originally she thought that this plan would take a long time, and she would need to prepare for a long time before she would have a chance!
But now, with the sudden death of the leader, the great revenge has been taken! Liu Su also became confused and at a loss. Vaguely, there was also some... fear.

The world was so big, and she suddenly felt like she had nowhere to go.

When the goal plan that I had been dreaming of was completed, when I looked back, I found that my life suddenly became barren.

Lin Jiangnian saw what she was thinking, he moved closer to Liu Su and took her hand. Liu Su came back to her senses, lowered her eyes, and looked up at him again.

"If you haven't decided where to go yet, why don't you come with me to Jiangnan?"

Lin Jiang invited with a young smile.

"Jiangnan?" Liu Su murmured.

"Have you been there?" Lin Jiangnian asked.

Liu Su was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"That's perfect, why don't we go over and take a look at the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I heard that the scenery over there is beautiful, and the girl is also..."

"Well, since ancient times, scholars and literati have loved writing about Jiangnan. Wouldn't it be a pity if you don't go there once?"

Liu Su didn't say anything, but looked up at him.

For some reason, this glance seemed to have deep meaning.

"Now that the leader is dead, the Celestial God Cult is no longer a place where you are imprisoned. From now on, you are no longer the Saint of the Celestial God Cult. You are yourself..."

"You can go wherever you want. The world is so big, no one can restrict you!"

Liu Su looked dazed, muttering to herself, "Go wherever you want?"

She had never thought that there would be such a day, but when Lin Jiangnian mentioned it, some hope emerged in her heart.

Yes!

The leader is dead!

Even the elders were dead or disabled, and the Tianshen Sect was doomed to fall apart.

From then on, no one could restrict her anymore.

but……

Liu Su seemed to have thought of something and turned her head to meet Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

"But I still hope..."

Lin Jiangnian held her smooth palm tightly and said softly, "You can stay with me."

After these words were spoken, Liu Su's delicate body trembled slightly.

His eyes flickered and he looked away subconsciously, seeming unnatural.

She looked away, looked forward, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

But the gentle words just now seemed to pierce the heart, making the softest part of Liu Su's heart tremble, as if some emotion was about to stand out at this moment.

She was silent.

But my heart was already in turmoil.

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at her soft and beautiful profile, which was a little pale and pitiful.

This saint who once was so beautiful and charming in his eyes now seemed to have fallen into the mortal world and looked weak in his eyes.

Lin Jiang sighed and said, "The world is gradually in chaos. The rebellion of King Xu in the north is a foregone conclusion. I don't know what the situation will be like by then."

"I'll be worried if you're not with me."

Lin Jiangnian's tone was light, but filled with deep worry.

He was worried and scared.

What kind of dangers would Liu Su encounter when he was alone in the world? Like this time, he almost lost his life!

If this wasn't a coincidence, the consequences would be disastrous.

Liu Su lowered his head and said nothing.

After a while, she took a deep breath, looked up at Lin Jiangnian, and then quickly looked away.

After a long time, he said.

"What about her?"

The voice was neither cold nor indifferent.

Lin Jiangnian looked at her quietly and said softly, "She wouldn't want you to be alone outside, living in this dangerous world, living in fear every day."

At this point, Lin Jiangnian paused, looked at her, and said in a lighter tone: "She doesn't want anything to happen to you either!"

"after all……"

"You are her only blood relative in this world!"

As soon as these words were spoken, one could clearly feel Liu Su's delicate body tremble again.

Her originally indifferent expression became as if struck by lightning when she heard these words, and she stood there in a daze.

"I know you may not like her, but no matter what, the grudges of the previous generation should not be blamed on the next generation... You are a victim just like her."

"You are the only blood relative Zhiyuan has left in this world. She doesn't want anything to happen to you."

"I think you too!"

Lin Jiang young spoke loudly.

They are half sisters with the same father but different mothers, and they are also the only relatives left in this world!
No matter how many grievances and conflicts there are, blood ties cannot be severed.

especially……

Lin Jiangnian thought of something and looked even more sighing.

After a long silence, Liu Su turned around and said in a dull tone: "I don't like her."

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward, gently hugged her waist from behind, and whispered with a sigh: "Because of me?"

Liu Su said expressionlessly: "It has nothing to do with you!"

"Then what do you want in order for you to go to Jiangnan with me?"

Liu Su remained silent and said nothing.

"Do you really have to ask me to beg you?" Lin Jiangnian sighed.

Hearing this, Liu Su glanced back at him and said, "Then beg!"

"You really want me to beg?" Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows.

Liu Su sneered: "You said it yourself."

"Then I beg you?"

"Too perfunctory."

"Dear Susu..."

"you……"

Liu Su was furious and said angrily, "Shut up!"

"Isn't this what you asked me to ask for?"

"I didn't ask you to...beg so disgustingly!"

"Then will you go to Jiangnan with me?"

"Don't go!"

"You really don't want to go?"

“No…you!!”

The next second, Liu Su suddenly opened her eyes wide, extremely embarrassed and anxious: "Yes, there is someone else, you... let me go!"

"Don't let it go!"

Lin Jiangnian hugged Liu Su's slender waist from behind, and his big hand climbed up skillfully and landed where it was supposed to be.

At the same time, he leaned close to Liu Su's delicate face, kissed her and said, "Unless you agree to go with me, otherwise..."

The voice was confident and extremely proud!
"I just reached in..."

……

It's late at night, the moon and stars are sparse.

Capital city, imperial mausoleum!
In the early morning, there was no sign of light in the sky yet, and the surroundings were still dark and silent.

Outside the gate of the imperial mausoleum, a hunchbacked old man in a gray robe appeared at some point. He was holding a broom and bending over to sweep the ground outside the imperial mausoleum.

The hunchbacked old man moved very slowly, as if he was very old. He swept the floor slowly, making all around spotless.

After doing all this, the hunchbacked old man slowly raised his head, revealing an old face full of wrinkles, like an elderly man in his twilight years.

However, this old face had a pair of extremely deep and bright eyes, which was very inconsistent with the image of a hunchbacked old man.

As if he had a premonition, he slowly raised his head and looked in the distance, frowning as if he was worried.

It seems like something big happened!
This feeling has continued from last night until now.

The hunchbacked old man remained expressionless for a long time. He retracted his gaze and slowly raised his head to look at the imperial mausoleum behind him.

Then, he walked towards the imperial mausoleum step by step.
