son, don't mess around

Seeing Jinxiu protecting An Ning behind her like a hen protecting her calf, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help laughing.

"When did I bully An Ning?"

"I saw it all!"

Jinxiu glared at him lightly.

She was just behind and saw it clearly.

When Jinxiu saw His Highness standing next to An Ning, she felt something was wrong for some reason.

Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, I heard His Highness teasing An Ning.

An Ning's reaction also made Jinxiu more vigilant.

She immediately stepped forward and stood between the two of them, separating them to prevent things from getting out of control!
Jinxiu took An Ning two steps back, then looked at her seriously and asked, "Did His Highness bully you?"

At this time, An Ning was lowering her head slightly, a little flustered. Hearing Jinxiu's words, she subconsciously raised her head and said with a stutter: "No, no."

Her voice was very soft and she seemed very nervous, like a frightened girl. This was in stark contrast to the expressionless girl who had just killed several people with a sword!
"not yet?!"

Jinxiu was furious when she saw An Ning's reaction.

She almost had it written on her face!
What the hell!

Based on her understanding of An Ning, if anyone else dared to talk to her like that and tease her like that, they would probably not survive a moment.

But when His Highness teased her in such a rude way, she not only had no reaction, but even spoke up for His Highness.

This girl, won't she really...

Thinking of this, Jinxiu's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she suddenly became anxious.

wrong!

This situation is wrong!

She had originally been planning to brainwash An Ning during this period of time and would never let her fall into the hands of the Crown Prince.

But looking at the situation right now...it seems to be getting worse and worse!
Jinxiu said angrily: "His Highness was clearly teasing and bullying you just now, and you still said no?!"

"Why are you still speaking for him?!"

"No, no..."

An Ning lowered her head and whispered in defense. Whether it was because she felt guilty or for some other reason, her originally tense face turned pink, embellishing her fair face.

He quietly raised his head and glanced at Lin Jiangnian on the other side, then quickly lowered his head as if a little frightened and turned his back.

He turned a deaf ear to Jinxiu's words and still had a cold face, but there seemed to be a different emotion in his bright and clear eyes.

……

"Your Highness, how do you deal with this person?"

Next to him, Lin Qingqing asked Lin Jiangnian how to deal with Zhou Zhen.

At this moment, Zhou Zhen carefully looked around and swallowed his saliva: "Dear heroes and heroines..."

"I've already said what I know... I, I really didn't mean it, I was blind... But, can you spare my life?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at Zhou Zhen who was kneeling on the ground. He thought that this person was just a small and insignificant character who was being used. He had already asked all the questions that needed to be asked, so there was no need to waste any more time.

"You go."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhen trembled slightly, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face: "Really?!"

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Zhou Zhen's face was full of excitement, and he struggled to get up from the ground as if he had survived a disaster.

Today is truly a terrifying day!
When he turned around, a ferocious look flashed across Zhou Zhen's face. He had to go back quickly and report this matter to the boss.

The Zhoukou Gang will definitely avenge this grudge!
Thinking in his mind, Zhou Zhen walked quickly and prepared to leave.

But just as he turned around and took a few steps, he suddenly felt a chill behind him.

The sword light is everywhere!

The sound of a sword flashed through the air.

Zhou Zhen stumbled as he was walking away quickly, and his whole body trembled. He looked down in shock, and then he saw that a long sword had pierced his chest.

The sword's blade was smooth, reflecting his frightened and somewhat hideous face.

Blood flowed.

The severe pain caused his whole body to twitch violently, and his eyes instantly became somewhat frightened.

The breath of death enveloped him!
His eyes were dull and somewhat incredulous. He turned around with difficulty and looked behind him.

"you you……"

His face was embarrassed and his tone was difficult, as if he wanted to ask something, but the pain in his chest made it impossible for him to utter a word.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and sighed: "I wanted to let you go, but there's something wrong with your eyes..."

"Every time I want to hurt someone, I have the same look as you do..."

"I'm so familiar with it!"

"So, you have to die."

Zhou Zhen stared at Lin Jiangnian with a pale face, and he seemed to want to say something.

But in the end, not a single word came out.

His body fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Don't rest your eyes!

Lin Jiangnian looked indifferent, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes.

Although this person is just a minor character, keeping him around is still a hidden danger, and Lin Jiangnian has no intention of leaving any future trouble for himself.

Furthermore, this person is the third in command of the Zhoukou Gang. It is obvious that the Zhoukou Gang is not a good gang, so this person is probably not a good person either.

Getting rid of this person can be considered as getting rid of a scourge for the people!
Lin Qingqing walked forward slowly, retracted the sword, checked the man, and after confirming that he had died, she returned to Lin Jiangnian to report.

"Go check out this Zhoukou Gang."

Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth and ordered: "Check the forces behind them to see if there is anyone instructing them, and by the way..."

“Cut the grass and root out the roots.”

Now that the third in command has died, Lin Jiangnian of the Zhoukou Gang behind him naturally doesn't plan to let him go.

We must eradicate the problem completely to prevent future troubles!

However, Lin Jiangnian does not need to do these things personally. He can just give the order and someone will do it.

Lin Jiangnian’s top priority at the moment is to return to Linzhou.

"Okay, let's continue on our way."

The minor incident on the road was quickly resolved and everyone continued on their way.

Although six people died, it was just a common occurrence for those present.

Needless to say, Lin Jiangnian and the eldest princess had seen life and death and experienced too many crises over the past year. Countless people had died at his hands.

The current Lin Jiangnian is no longer the same person who was extremely shocked when he first came to the palace and heard about the death of someone!
Not to mention the eldest princess, Jinxiu and An Ning who were beside her were also accustomed to such scenes, so they did not react much.

On the contrary, Xu Lan and Xiaolu, the master and servant, grew up in a greenhouse and rarely saw such bloody scenes.

After seeing so many dead people and smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, the master and servant almost vomited.

Coupled with the previous bumpy ride in the carriage, the master and servant's faces became even paler.

Inside the carriage, Xu Lan regretted why she had gone to take a look out of curiosity. After seeing such a bloody scene, she could never forget it, and the horrific scene kept reappearing in her mind.

It made her want to vomit even more!
"You are a great heroine, can't you bear this?"

Lin Jiangnian was delighted when he saw this scene.

"Do you think everyone is like you?"

Xu Lan glared at him, her face pale: "You, don't you feel anything?"

"What does it feel like?"

"Don't you think it's disgusting?"

"I've seen a lot." Lin Jiang laughed youthfully.

Have you seen a lot?
Xu Lan was slightly startled, his eyes fell on Lin Jiangnian's face, as if he thought of something, and suddenly fell silent.

Yup!

He is the prince of Lin! Such scenes are too common for him!

How many people want him dead?

even……

Isn’t this how the previous Prince Lin died?
Thinking of this, Xu Lan was a little dazed.

I don't know what I thought of, but my heart suddenly tightened. After a while, she suddenly whispered a reminder: "You, you have to be careful."

"Ok?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her and saw Xu Lan biting her lower lip and looking into Lin Jiangnian's eyes. Then she turned away slightly as if she was a little shy.

"Anyway, you just need to be careful... Don't, don't die someday!"

"Are you cursing this prince?"

"No, no!"

Xu Lan's face turned slightly red, and he said angrily: "I, I am worried about you. What if you are assassinated one day? What if you are gone?!"

"Don't worry, there are many people who want to kill me, but no one has been able to do it yet."

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "This prince is blessed with a long life and can live a long life."

"That's right, the disaster will last for a thousand years..." Xu Lan muttered.

"What did you say?"

"No, I didn't say anything."

"..."

There is a small village beside the official road.

The village is not big and sparsely populated.

At the same time, a residential building.

Inside the house.

A dark figure wearing a strange black cloak hurriedly walked into the yard and one of the rooms from outside.

"Master, your prediction is as accurate as a god. Lin Jiangnian has indeed returned to Linzhou. He is now on the official road to the west..."

"Lin Jiangnian didn't bring many people with him. In addition to a female guard, there were only two women..."

"However, there is another carriage with a pair of twins, who are probably the maids of the eldest princess..."

Inside the room, the dark figure knelt on one knee, lowering his head to report the information.

In the dim room, a figure in a black robe was sitting quietly on the main seat.

Under the wide black robe, there was an unidentifiable body.

Under the black hat and the hideous bronze mask, a pair of calm and deep eyes were staring at the dark shadow in the room.

The oppressive atmosphere made the room silent.

In addition, there were several dark shadows standing in the room, and the three elders of the Celestial God Sect were among them.

At this time, the Third Elder's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the report from the people below. Lin Jiangnian's return to Linzhou was within his expectations.

But Li Piaomiao is actually with Lin Jiangnian?
This is a bit unbelievable!

Although the two are engaged, everyone knows that they are not involved. Then how could Li Piaomiao, who is such a genius, look down on Lin Jiangnian?

Are you willing to be a prince's consort?

But, how do we explain this now?

Li Piaomiao is with Lin Jiangnian...

This is not good news for them.

In the silent room, the leader of the Celestial God Cult had a deep gaze and said nothing.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

He was silent.

The room was always silent.

Finally, after a while, the black-robed leader said in a deep voice, "Go down."

"As ordered."

The dark shadow in the room finally left the room as if relieved.

After this person left, the third elder stepped forward and wanted to say something: "Master, if Li Piaomiao is really with Lin Jiangnian, this is a bit bad..."

"This Li Piaomiao is a very skilled martial artist. If we want to attack Lin Jiangnian, it will be extremely troublesome..."

"This sect knows what's going on."

The leader's voice was hoarse and his tone was devoid of any emotion.

Then, he raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened again.

Immediately afterwards, a figure was thrown in.

He fell to the ground in a mess, his body covered with wounds, his face full of fear and trembling.

"Mercy, Master, mercy!"

The voice was trembling with fear, as if he had fallen into an abyss.

Outside the door, the four elders of the Celestial God Cult walked in and said respectfully, "Master, this man finally confessed everything under the severe torture of our subordinates..."

The leader stared at him expressionlessly, his voice hoarse: "Go ahead."

At this moment, under this familiar and oppressive bronze mask, this person knelt on the ground and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Reply, reply to the leader...Saint Liu Su did indeed deceive the leader..."

"That night a year ago, I followed Saint Lady Liu to that dilapidated temple... By the time we arrived, it was too late..."

"The real Prince Lin has actually died a long time ago... I saw it with my own eyes, he is deader than dead..."

"The current Prince Lin is, is a fake..."

"He was actually a fake Prince Lin who was sent by Saint Lady Liu..."

"Yes, it's fake!"

"..."

There was a brief silence in the room.

Many people present were slightly surprised, as if they were hearing the news for the first time.

Shocked!

Only the fourth elder at the door had a gloomy expression, with an amusing sneer on his lips.

The person on the ground is a follower of his Tianshen religion and also a close confidant of Liu Su.

He is also one of the people who clearly knows the truth about the temple being destroyed that night a year ago!

No one expected that the truth would be like this!
No one expected that everyone was deceived by Liu Su!
She didn't tell the truth at all, she lied to the leader.

She hid such important news!
If the Fourth Elder had not discovered the clues while investigating the death of the Great Elder, and had not followed the clues all the way to investigate, and finally caught this confidant of Liu Su by chance, and under coercion and inducement, he wanted to force the truth of the Great Elder's death, but he did not expect to learn such an amazing news by accident!

The Prince of Lin is fake!

The Prince Lin who is alive now is actually just a puppet secretly cultivated by Liu Su, and a chess piece of hers!
No wonder Liu Su protects him so much!
No wonder the relationship between the two is so close, it turns out... everything was her plan!
After learning about this, the Fourth Elder immediately figured out everything. Liu Su betrayed the Celestial God Sect and also betrayed the Sect Leader!

She actually concealed such important news from the leader, which undoubtedly showed that she had rebellious intentions.

The fourth elder's eyes were cold, and a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Now, let’s see what she will do?
Her death has come!

At this moment, the room was silent.

The black-robed leader stared at the man in front of him with deep eyes, without saying a word.

But everyone in the room could feel the deadly coldness of the leader, which enveloped everyone's heart.

Many people's hearts trembled slightly, and they all realized something...

The leader is very angry!
