son, don't mess around

The leaves in the sky slowly drifted down, and the strong wind between heaven and earth gradually subsided.

Under the tree, a figure in a red skirt turned around and came to Lin Jiangnian.

Squatting down, when she saw Lin Jiangnian's pale face without a trace of blood, the murderous intent in the eyes of the woman in the red dress became more intense.

"Dead yet?"

She spoke coldly.

The voice was cold, and I didn't know who it was directed to.

"almost."

Lin Jiangnian's voice was weak and he could hardly open his eyes. Even in the dim light, he could still catch a glimpse of the familiar red dress and the familiar scent on her.

It really smells reassuring.

"If you come a little later, you will only see my dead body."

Lin Jiangnian sighed.

They are all heroes who save beauties. At the most critical moment of life and death, the hero appears and saves the beauty.

But when it comes to him, he always becomes the beautiful one who is saved.

Although it was strange, Lin Jiangnian had to admit at this moment... soft rice was really delicious.

"It would be better to die."

A cold snort came from his ear, and Lin Jiangnian felt his hand being held, followed by a strong internal energy rushing into his body.

The originally weak body was revived. The internal organs that had just been violently shaken were protected by the true qi.

Then, another cold snort sounded in my ears: "If you die, you won't have to harm other women anymore!"

"I really underestimated you. You disappeared in the blink of an eye and you hooked up with someone else?"

"And he almost died because of her this time?"

This voice, this tone...

Why do you act like you're jealous?

However, Lin Jiangnian did not explain.

Too lazy to explain.

He is too tired.

Now he just wants to lie down and have a good rest... Anyway, he is no longer needed for what comes next.

Liu Su complained and looked unhappy, but she still used her internal energy to help Lin Jiangnian stabilize his heart.

Then, she slowly stood up and turned her head. When her eyes fell on something not far away, her cold temperament suddenly appeared.

The murderous intent burst out without any concealment!
At this moment, Duan Tiande struggled to get up from the ground.

He looked horrified, spitting blood, and in a state of disgrace. He raised his head, and when his eyes fell on the person in red, he felt that he looked familiar.

Then, as if realizing something, "The Holy Maiden of the Celestial God Religion?!"

is her!

Dressed in red, with a charming temperament...there is no one else but her!
But why is she here?

How could it be related to Prince Lin? !
"Does anyone still remember me?"

There was a hint of daze in Liu Su's eyes.

After the death of the leader, she had gradually forgotten her identity as a saint. Tonight, Duan Tiande's words reminded her of it again.

"you you……"

At this moment, Duan Tiande's face was extremely ugly: "You want to save him too?!"

Duan Tiande couldn't believe it.

He clearly remembered that the Heavenly God Cult and the Lin Wang Mansion were sworn enemies, but why was it that now...

Why did everyone change their minds?

"So much nonsense."

Liu Su spoke coldly.

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved.

In the dark night, a shadow of a man in red flashed by, and a cold wind blew, filled with murderous intent.

Duan Tiande only felt that all the pores on his body stood up, and the fear of death crisis enveloped him. He didn't even have a chance to resist.

"Ding!"

"boom!"

The sword in Duan Tiande's hand fell, and his body was knocked flying. He fell to the ground, spitting blood, unable to move.

There was no resistance at all.

The martial arts prowess of this saint is far superior to his.

Duan Tiande's eyes were filled with horror. He felt unwilling but also desperate.

Liu Su's eyes became colder and murderous intent approached again.

This person must die!

Her man is someone only she can bully.

Anyone who dares to touch him must die.

Liu Su waved her red robe, and the sharp cold wind rolled up the leaves on the ground, turning them into sharp steel knives, trying to tear Duan Tiande apart. Just as the leaves approached Duan Tiande, another gust of wind rolled up and blocked this sharp move.

"boom!"

The leaves are scattered and drifting all over the sky.

Liu Su suddenly raised her eyes, and a cold figure appeared silently in her sight.

"what are you doing?!"

Liu Su's expression froze. She didn't expect that this woman would actually stop her from killing someone.

"Can't kill him."

"He almost took your man's life just now, and you didn't kill him?!"

Liu Su was so angry that she laughed.

In her sight, Zhiyuan slowly approached. She glanced at Duan Tiande on the ground with a cold and calm look: "He can't die yet. The mastermind behind tonight's scenes must be pried out from his mouth!"

Hearing this, Liu Su snorted coldly and gave up.

She doesn't care who is the mastermind or not, she just wants to kill people.

But the kite came, and she obviously couldn't kill it.

"Since you are here, I'll leave this place to you!"

After saying that, Liu Su turned around and prepared to leave.

"where are you going?"

"Go wherever you want."

Liu Su said lightly and turned away.

She came quickly and left quickly. Soon, the woman in red dress disappeared into the night.

Zhiyuan looked at Liu Su's departing back and wanted to say something, but it was too late.

She retracted her gaze and walked under the tree. Looking at the disheveled Lin Jiangnian under the tree, her eyes wrinkled and her tone became nervous: "Your Highness, how are you?"

"Fortunately, I'm not going to die!"

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment before she said, "Your Highness, a disaster almost occurred tonight."

Lin Jiangnian understood the meaning behind Zhiyuan's tone. He sighed, "Who the hell could have thought that someone would be behind the scenes?"

"The world will be in chaos, and I'm afraid there will be many more assassinations like this in the future."

Zhiyuan said, "From now on, Your Highness must not be so reckless and impulsive, and must not do such dangerous things again."

"If Your Highness had the Jasmine Wind Chime with him tonight, why would it have come to this?"

"I know, I know!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded honestly: "You are right, I will listen to you from now on and will never do anything rash."

Seeing Lin Jiangnian nod in agreement, Zhiyuan's expression eased a little, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness, please don't think I'm nagging."

"how come."

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "I was indeed careless this time, I will definitely not do that next time."

Zhiyuan hummed softly.

"By the way, how did you find me here?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised. How could that woman Liu Su arrive before Zhiyuan?
Zhi Yuan said in a deep voice: "After learning that Your Highness was in trouble, Qingqing set out with the prince's guards ahead of time. I went to find the old man and mobilized the city guards of Chujiang City..."

"I followed the trail all the way here. I just heard the explosion here and determined the location of His Highness..." "As for Liu Su, she should have known about this earlier than me and found His Highness first..."

Listening to Zhiyuan's explanation, Lin Jiangnian nodded silently. He was really lucky tonight and managed to save his life.

The danger involved is self-evident.

"correct!"

Lin Jiangnian then remembered something and looked forward.

At this moment, the fight between Yue Qing and Shen An in the front was gradually coming to an end.

Shen An was old after all, and his strength declined due to an injury a year ago, so he could only resist with difficulty. Yue Qing became more and more courageous as the battle went on. Especially after he found out that Duan Tiande was defeated, Yue Qing was so angry that he did not hold back any more. The spear in his hand was like a bright moon breaking an army, a torrential rain and thunder, and every spear was deadly.

Shen An barely managed to block it, and retreated step by step, showing signs of exhaustion. Under Yue Qing's violent attack, he was finally gradually defeated.

"he……"

Seeing this scene, Zhiyuan was visibly stunned.

"How could it be him?"

Obviously, she recognized Shen An.

It was that night a year ago that Mr. Shen assassinated Lin Jiangnian.

Shen Lingjun’s uncle?

But why is he here tonight?

Also, helped save His Highness?

"I'm not sure, but he did come to help me."

Lin Jiangnian said: "Zhiyuan, help him, don't let him die."

"it is good."

Zhiyuan took a look and then nodded.

He took the sword from Lin Jiangnian, stood up, and walked towards a distance.

She was very fast and seemed to be walking step by step, but she was approaching the two of them in the blink of an eye.

Yue Qing, who was originally full of vigor, seized the opportunity when Shen An was breathing heavily and was about to drop his spear. At this moment, a dangerous aura suddenly enveloped him.

Yue Qing was startled and turned around suddenly, seeing a figure in a white dress approaching with a sword in hand.

The aura was strong, and there seemed to be a terrifying aura lingering above the sword edge.

Yue Qing was shocked and immediately recognized this person's identity... Zhiyuan, the personal maid of Prince Lin!
At this moment, Yue Qing knew that the situation was hopeless.

The dragnet they had set up tonight was just about enough to kill Prince Lin.

But after all, it was still a little short!
Fall short!
Yue Qing's eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. He was just one step away from killing Prince Lin and avenging his second uncle!
Unfortunately, there is no chance anymore!
Yue Qing gritted his teeth in anger, and when his spear collided with the sword of the kite, he used the force to retreat more than ten steps. He raised his head and looked at Lin Jiangnian with unwillingness.

Then he turned around and left without looking back.

Since the assassination failed, we naturally cannot stay here!

As long as he is alive, he will never give Lin Jiangnian any chance next time!

Seeing Yue Qing suddenly escape, Zhiyuan stopped and did not chase him.

Under the cover of night, the roads were complicated. Yue Qing's martial arts were not weak, so she could not catch up and was easily ambushed.

Besides, he can't escape!
No one involved in this matter tonight will be able to escape.

Zhiyuan turned around and looked at Shen An not far away.

At this moment, Shen An stood in place, holding the steel knife tightly in his hand.

The steel knife was still sharp, but Mr. Shen, who was holding the steel knife, looked like a dying old man. He no longer had the momentum he had just now, and he looked like he had aged a dozen years in an instant, and was on the verge of collapse.

He staggered two steps, then fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

The old face with wrinkles all over it had cloudy eyes, as if he was almost out of breath.

He gasped for breath and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground.

All around, it became quiet.

Lin Jiangnian struggled to get up and came to him. He looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated look.

He also didn't expect that the person who would save his life at the critical moment tonight would be him. If he hadn't stepped forward to stop Yue Qing and delay a lot of time, Lin Jiangnian would have died tonight.

But why did he save himself?

Lin Jiangnian had a vague guess in his mind, but he was not sure.

"Thank you Mr. Shen for your help tonight."

Lin Jiangnian looked at Mr. Shen and bowed respectfully.

No matter what, the other party saved his life, and Lin Jiangnian deserves to be grateful for this favor.

Shen An didn't say anything, still breathing heavily, and the spirit in his eyes was visibly fading.

After a long while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Shen An's voice was weak and trembling slightly, as if he was sighing, "I'm old and useless..."

Then, he slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian: "One year ago, I owed you my life, today I will repay you."

Lin Jiangnian said, "I will always remember Mr. Shen's life-saving grace."

"What a sin, what a sin."

Shen An muttered to himself.

Lin Jiangnian then asked: "Mr. Shen, why are you here tonight?"

"How did Mr. Shen know that they would assassinate me?"

Why is Shen An here tonight?

Such a coincidence?

Or there must be another reason.

However, Shen An did not answer this question. He sighed slowly and said, "A year ago, I was entrusted by someone to assassinate the prince. I didn't expect that a year later, everything would happen again..."

"Your Highness, please be more careful in the future."

Shen An's words seemed to reveal something. Lin Jiangnian frowned: "What does Mr. Shen know? Who was the person who asked Mr. Shen to assassinate me a year ago?"

Is that King Xu?

Apart from the third prince, he seemed to be the only one left.

Shen An sighed: "I have no intention of interfering in the feud between you two. Your Highness has to investigate this matter yourself."

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Shen."

"Old man, my time is running out."

Shen An's expression was gloomy, as if he had an indescribable sadness: "Your Highness, can you please promise me one thing for today's sake?"

Lin Jiangnian said, "Mr. Shen, please go ahead and talk."

"I have nothing to worry about in this life, except for my niece who is left alone in this world..."

"In the past, Lingjun was ignorant and clashed with the prince. He and Lingjun have some grievances and conflicts. I hope you will not take it personally..."

"After I pass away, she has no relatives in this world. Can you please treat her well in the future for my sake..."

"If she angers the prince someday, please... spare her life!"

Shen Lingjun?
Lin Jiangnian was in a trance and almost forgot the existence of the heroine.

Come to think of it, the last time we met was on the way back to Linjiang City several months ago. At that time, Miss Shen was no longer the impulsive and careless Miss Shen.

I have become much more mature.

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will thank you for saving my life today. In the future, if she encounters any danger, I will definitely protect her."

"Well, thank you very much, Prince."

Shen An seemed to have put down a heavy burden on his heart and finally felt at ease.

He put the knife back into his bag, slowly sorted it out, and then put the bag on his back.

The luggage weighed down his waist and he became a hunchbacked old man again.

"Mr. Shen, where are you going?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

"Find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and build a tomb. I'm tired of this life!"

Shen An spoke slowly, he gathered his loose clothes, turned around, slowly left, and gradually disappeared into the night.

I left the short sleeves frozen in the wind, like a farewell.

This old man, who once had some fame in the world, has become lonely and silent.

From ancient times to the present, the decline of heroes and great men is often silent.
