son, don't mess around

Chapter 464: Submissive Lady Shen
Ms. Shen's face turned slightly pale. When Lin Jiangnian suddenly reminded her, she suddenly realized...she seemed to have overlooked something?
Ever since her master's sect was disbanded, she went down the mountain alone to venture into the world. She has been alone all this time, accustomed to drifting in the world, and yearns for a free and easy life without any constraints.

Everything follows your heart.

When you see injustice, you should draw your sword and help.

Whenever I come across something stupid, I always think about taking care of it.

In her eyes, she may not be able to solve the root of all the injustices in the world, but at least her sword can solve the current troubles!

As for the consequences...

She never thought about it carefully.

She didn't care, nor was she worried about being hunted down by the government. With her martial arts skills, it was not difficult for her to hide her identity in the martial arts world and avoid being hunted down by the government.

At worst, I can leave this place and go to other states and counties.

The world is so big, where can't she go?

Because of this, she never thought about the essence of the matter, nor did she realize that...she might be safe and sound.

But some people will be dragged down.

For example, the young couple in the yard and the little girl who is only a few years old.

Shen Lingjun can leave, but they can't...

The couple are locals, and they will stay here. Once they kill this dog official in front of them, they will inevitably be implicated.

Even……

Thinking of this, Shen Lingjun's expression changed slightly.

Her originally resolute expression also turned pale at this moment. She looked at Lin Jiangnian and opened her mouth, unable to refute.

Not a single word could come out.

After a while.

"So, what do you think we should do?"

She couldn't help but speak.

Shouldn't kill?

Are we just going to allow this corrupt official to continue to bully the people? !

She couldn't do it.

Since this corrupt official is harming the people, she can't just sit back and do nothing once she sees it!

"Many times, the solution to a problem can be more tactful. There are many ways to solve it..."

Lin Jiangnian looked at Ms. Shen, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh.

I haven't seen her for more than half a year, and she is still the same, not much changed.

She seems to have grown up a bit, her temperament has improved a lot, and she is more mature than when she first came out a year ago.

But not much!
His style of doing things is still reckless, full of passion and justice.

but……

My brain is still stubborn and not working very well!
"If you kill him now, it will only implicate others and won't change anything. It's not worth it!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: "Of course, you can try another way!"

"Another way?"

Shen Lingjun looked at Lin Jiangnian with a confused look.

"Correct!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded, glanced at the pale-faced county lieutenant on the ground, and said with a half-smile: "For example, let him go first, let him relax his vigilance, then find out where this gentleman lives, and then go to his house in the middle of the night to wait for him... and then kill him quietly!"

"With your martial arts skills, this shouldn't be difficult to do, right?!"

"If you're worried about failure, you can also pretend to be a robber and find a way to kidnap his wife and daughter, then take the opportunity to lure him out and kill him..."

"Or, to be more direct, you can hire a few assassins in the name of this gentleman to assassinate his superior... Even if you fail to frame him, this gentleman's superior will certainly be suspicious of him. When this corrupt official loses power, it will be much easier for you to deal with him..."

"..."

There was silence.

The people around fell silent as they listened to the handsome young man talking.

Glazed eyes.

This……

Are they discussing how to kill their parents in public?

Isn't this too blatant?

You don't avoid them at all?

Isn't this too much?

Especially the person involved, the county lieutenant was pale and terrified.

Being pointed at by a sword was terrifying enough, but I didn't expect that a living devil would come and plot so many schemes...

Despicable and immoral!

His face turned pale and alarm bells started ringing in his heart.

After hearing what Lin Jiangnian said, Shen Lingjun was slightly stunned and stared at Lin Jiangnian blankly.

She originally thought that Lin Jiangnian would list the serious consequences of killing this official, and then say some official words to muddle through the matter...

After all, that’s what all officials do!

But Shen Lingjun never expected that Lin Jiangnian would actually say such a thing?
Kill again at another time?

Assassination?

Kidnapping this dog official’s family?
Hiring a killer?
This……

Isn't that a bit too despicable?

Shen Lingjun's eyelids twitched suddenly. She had always claimed that she was not an upright person. If she could kill this dog official, she would also do some extremely bad things.

But, compared with the Prince Lin in front of her...her extremely bad behaviors seemed petty.

Not worth mentioning?

It’s all thanks to others for the support!

What shocked Shen Lingjun even more was that... after listening to Lin Jiangnian's words, she actually fell into a brief contemplation.

Then, I vaguely felt that what Lin Jiangnian said seemed... to make some sense?

What a good idea!
In an instant, her beautiful eyes lit up slightly. When she looked at the dog-like county lieutenant in front of her, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

The county lieutenant on the ground trembled all over: "Lady, spare my life... Don't let the disaster happen to my family!"

So immoral!

He actually wanted to attack his family!

Is that human being?
Do you still have the rules and morals of the underworld?
When Shen Lingjun heard this, he was obviously hesitant again.

Indeed, this was not in line with her usual code of conduct.

However, Lin Jiangnian began to persuade them again: "To deal with bad guys, you have to use worse methods than they do. Fight violence with violence and let them have a taste of bitterness. Only in this way can they truly realize their mistakes..."

Hearing this, Shen Lingjun's originally hesitant look quickly became firm again.

Gradually getting colder.

"Then he..."

Shen Lingjun turned to look at Lin Jiangnian and asked, "What should we do now?"

The two people discussed the plan in public and it was heard clearly by the parties involved. It was obviously not appropriate to continue the implementation.

But how to deal with this corrupt official made Shen Lingjun hesitant.

"Let it go first."

Shen Lingjun was silent for a moment, then silently retracted the sword.

This scene also made Lin Jiangnian a little surprised. Was Miss Shen so obedient?

I still remember that on the way to Beijing last year, this Miss Shen called Lin Jiangnian a bastard prince all the time, and was so angry that she wished she could die together with Lin Jiangnian!

Who would have thought that only half a year had passed, and now this Lady Shen was willing to listen to him? This...

Lin Jiangnian felt a little emotional.

Instead, he missed the rebellious look of Miss Shen!
When the coldness of the confrontation on his neck disappeared, the county lieutenant on the ground felt as if he had been saved, and he almost collapsed to the ground in fear.

Afterwards, he struggled desperately, and quickly escaped from the ground using his hands and feet, rolling and crawling.

"My Lord? Are you alright?"

"My Lord, how are you?"

"Sir, what should we do now?"

The constable next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his master was safe and sound.

If something happens to their master here today, none of them will be able to escape.

At this time, the county lieutenant was hiding behind the constable, staring at the people in front of him with surprise and suspicion.

At this moment, he was already a little frightened, especially since he almost lost his life just now, so he had no momentum at all.

There was a hint of viciousness in his eyes, knowing that it would be difficult to resolve the current situation.

So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go back first!"

After saying this, he swept his eyes over everyone present with deep resentment. Then, he left in a hurry with the constables and hooligans around him.

After a while, the noisy crowd around dispersed and disappeared completely.

The only people left were some residents who came to watch the fun, watching from afar, pointing and sighing, but no one dared to approach.

In the courtyard, Shen Lingjun allowed the county lieutenant to leave with his men without stopping them.

Ever since Lin Jiangnian appeared, her mind has never calmed down. She looked at Lin Jiangnian with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.

At this time, in the yard, the couple's expressions finally eased a little, and then the man came up again, his face was frightened, and his tone was trembling: "Lady, you, you should leave quickly!"

Shen Lingjun turned around and saw the man's pale face. "You have offended the county lieutenant today. The government officials will definitely not let you off... When the time comes, they will definitely come to trouble you again!"

"You can't beat them, just run away."

The man didn't expect the matter to become so serious, and he was terrified: "I should have given it to them earlier..."

Now that he has offended the government, he doesn’t know what the consequences will be. The man dare not think about it.

When Shen Lingjun heard this, her expression changed slightly. She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start, so she turned her head to look at Lin Jiangnian.

The eyes are complicated.

She knew that the only person who could help the couple now was Lin Jiangnian.

He is the prince of Lin Wang, he must have a way.

And it was obviously for this reason that Lin Jiangnian stood up and stopped her from killing the county lieutenant.

Therefore, when she looked at Lin Jiangnian, there was a hint of request in her complicated eyes.

Lin Jiangnian saw it.

I feel more and more emotional.

It seems that a lot of things have happened in the past six months. The sharp edges of this Miss Shen have been smoothed out a lot, and she no longer has the passion she had when she first entered the world of martial arts!

His eyes fell on the couple in the yard, and then looked at the little girl who was hiding in her mother's arms, looking at her timidly with fear in her eyes.

"This is not the place to talk, let's go somewhere else."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the sky, it was already dark.

Shen Lingjun also realized this, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

In order to prevent the county lieutenant's men from taking revenge, the couple and the little girl were also taken back to the inn.

On the road, Lin Jiangnian walked in front, and Jinxiu and An Ning followed Lin Jiangnian on his left and right.

An Ning was fine. She had no expression from beginning to end. She was like an exquisite little sculpture, holding the sword and not saying a word.

But Jinxiu turned her head to look at Lin Jiangnian from time to time, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

I wanted to ask something, but I didn't open my mouth.

Lin Jiangnian noticed it: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing..."

Jinxiu finally said nothing and turned her head away.

For some reason, I seem to be a little emotional.

And Shen Lingjun followed Lin Jiangnian silently.

She didn't know why she suddenly became so obedient to Lin Jiangnian. She clearly...

But when she thought of that night outside the capital half a year ago, she couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt.

After avoiding him for half a year, I thought it would be difficult to see him again.

But I didn't expect that we would meet again!
She raised her head and quietly looked at Lin Jiangnian and the two women beside him who were both outstanding in appearance and temperament.

It was not until she looked carefully that Shen Lingjun realized... they were a pair of twins!

Twins who look exactly the same but have completely different temperaments!
This made Shen Lingjun even more surprised!
Then it dawned on me.

...As expected of the Prince Lin!

There was indeed never a shortage of stunning women around him, especially a pair of such stunningly beautiful girls.

Shen Lingjun was lost in thought and followed Lin Jiangnian back to the inn.

Outside the inn, Lin Qingqing waited for a long time.

When he saw His Highness coming back from outside and was about to step forward, his eyes suddenly focused on Shen Lingjun's face behind him.

The next second, a hint of surprise and vigilance flashed in her eyes.

Obviously, she recognized Shen Lingjun.

"Your Highness, this..."

Lin Qingqing was confused and surprised, and obviously had no idea what was going on.

Why did His Highness go out and bring back the woman who had once attempted to assassinate him?
"Qingqing, go do something!"

Lin Jiangnian called Lin Qingqing, pointed at the couple and the little girl following behind, and told her to check.

Lin Qingqing quickly understood what he meant. Although she didn't know why her highness suddenly wanted to investigate such a small matter, she nodded and led the couple away.

At this time, the couple also vaguely realized that... this handsome young man seemed to be from an important background?

Afterwards, Lin Jiangnian led Shen Lingjun and others back to the inn.

There were not many guests in the inn.

After An Ning returned to the inn, she went upstairs to look for the princess. Jin Xiu originally wanted to stay, but when she saw An Ning had left, she could only go upstairs with a worried mood.

Lin Jiangnian found a corner and asked the waiter for some food and drinks. After sitting down, he saw Shen Lingjun, who was dressed in a heroic horse-faced long skirt, standing beside him. Her eyes had a complicated look and a slightly restrained expression.

"Sit down!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and chuckled, "When did Miss Shen become so restrained?"

Hearing this, Shen Lingjun was silent for a moment, bit her lower lip, and then sat down opposite Lin Jiangnian.

"We can meet again here. Is it fate that we meet again?"

Lin Jiang sighed and poured two cups of tea.

The first time he met Miss Shen was in a brothel in Linjiang City. Miss Shen wanted to avenge the courtesan Yingying, so she assassinated him in the brothel.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

The unruly Miss Shen no longer had the same aura as before. When she reappeared in front of Lin Jiangnian, she seemed to be somewhat unconfident.

Feeling a bit timid!
Shen Lingjun stared at Lin Jiangnian in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking in her beautiful eyes.

After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, took a deep breath, and her tone was full of guilt and apology.

"I'm sorry about what happened last time."

"..."
