son, don't mess around

Shen Lingjun stared blankly at Lin Jiangnian beside her.

At this moment, there was a kind of indescribable aura about him.

This aura is quite different from the Lin Jiangnian that Shen Lingjun knew before.

The former Prince of Lin now reappeared before her, and Shen Lingjun felt vaguely unfamiliar with him.

especially……

Shen Lingjun lowered her head and could still vaguely feel the force that had just come from the back of her hand.

Very heavy.

This made her very surprised and unbelievable!

She realized that the current Lin Jiangnian was no longer the Prince of Lin whom she knew a year ago.

A year ago, Lin Jiangnian knew no martial arts at all. Even when he entered Beijing, in Shen Lingjun's eyes, Lin Jiangnian's martial arts skills were not very high.

But now...how long has it been?
Lin Jiangnian at this moment was a little hard for her to understand.

The aura that Lin Jiangnian inadvertently revealed at that moment just now had made Shen Lingjun feel her breath solidify and a faint sense of oppression.

This is enough to show that Lin Jiangnian's martial arts skills are far superior to hers.

It has reached the point of crushing her!

How could Shen Lingjun not be surprised? !
What on earth did he go through during this period of time?
At this moment, Shen Lingjun's expression became more complicated, and she stared at Lin Jiangnian in a daze.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

It's hard to describe her mood at this moment.

But at the same time, an unprecedented sense of security surged in her heart!

Even at this moment, the inside and outside of the inn had already been surrounded by government officials and no one could get in or out.

Even though the atmosphere was tense, there were officers and soldiers all around who were eyeing her covetously, intending to capture her.

If it were in the past, although Shen Lingjun was not afraid, she would not dare to relax at all.

She knew very well what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of the government.

But tonight, right now!

For the first time in her life, she completely ignored the officers and soldiers who were eyeing her covetously around her. Facing the threats coming from all sides, she did not feel any fear.

Even, my heart is filled with a sense of security!
And all of this... came from the Prince Lin who was beside him!

He stood there calmly, and although he was alone, Shen Lingjun felt more relaxed than ever before.

It seemed that as long as he was there, nothing unexpected would happen.

……

Inside the inn, the atmosphere was still tense.

The county lieutenant behind the crowd cast a cold gaze at Lin Jiangnian, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

It's this person again!

Not long ago, outside the town, this young man said without caring about others that he would assassinate him and attack his family?

This young man looks gentle and refined, but his mind is so vicious and despicable!

Damn!

"Come here, arrest both of them for me!"

Following the county lieutenant's order, the officers and soldiers around the inn all approached Lin Jiangnian and Shen Lingjun.

The other guests and onlookers in the inn had already hidden far away, some hiding in the corners, looking at the scene in front of them with surprise and suspicion.

what happened?

How did those two people offend the government? Why did the government go to such great lengths to arrest them?
As the soldiers around him approached, Shen Lingjun subconsciously moved closer to Lin Jiangnian, tightly gripping the hilt of the sword in his hand, intending to stand in front of him.

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw Shen Lingjun's actions, but did not say anything. His expression remained calm, and he glanced at the county lieutenant in the crowd.

He was staring at Lin Jiangnian with a cold look and a sinister smile.

It seems that Lin Jiangnian’s fate has been decided!
But Lin Jiangnian smiled at the county lieutenant with a warm smile.

Very kind!
The county lieutenant's eyes were gloomy, and for a moment he didn't react to what the young man meant.

You're still smiling at him when you're about to die?

Want to beg for mercy?
It's too late!

Just as the county lieutenant sneered in his heart, he saw the young man suddenly look away, looked in a certain direction of the inn, and sighed softly.

"An Ning, can you help me?"

There was a hint of ease and teasing in his voice, and a lazy attitude, as if he didn't take the people present seriously at all.

The county lieutenant's eyes were cold and he was filled with resentment. This man had no fear at all and remained so calm even when faced with a disaster. Did he really not take him seriously? !
Damn!

Just as the county lieutenant's face darkened, the next second, the air around him seemed to suddenly become a little colder.

At the same time, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the inn.

The next second, a cold light passed by.

The air was filled with cold air, and the county lieutenant, who had originally had a gloomy face, suddenly shuddered violently.

"Sir, be careful!"

Anxious and frightened voices rang out all around, and the next second, accompanied by a few screams, several officers and soldiers who were originally protecting the county lieutenant suddenly screamed and fell to the ground wailing.

The county lieutenant's pupils suddenly shrank. He realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat.

But just as I had this thought, I felt a chill behind me.

"Move again, and you'll die!"

A cold voice sounded from behind.

The county lieutenant's whole body froze, and he stood still, his breathing almost stopping at this moment.

He didn't look back, but he could feel the cold murderous aura coming from behind him.

Don’t dare to move!

The county lieutenant was terrified. He never expected that even though he was so careful, the other party could still take his life...

"Don't, don't mess around..."

The county lieutenant's eyes were filled with fear and his expression changed drastically.

All around, when the fierce cold wind dissipated, the constables and soldiers around discovered...that their masters had been held hostage again!

And the one who held my master hostage... was a girl!
A girl who is not that old!
She is so beautiful, with an alluring temperament, stunning at first sight!
But her temperament is surprisingly cold!
He holds a cold sword in his hand and is holding his master hostage!

"Let go, sir!"

"Traitors, are you planning a rebellion?!"

"If anything goes wrong with you, all of you will be killed along with your entire clan!"

The officers and soldiers present were in an uproar.

"..."

In the crowd, An Ning, wearing a light-colored long dress, had a blank expression on her face.

She ignored the noisy and threatening voices around her and looked up at Lin Jiangnian who was not far ahead. There was no emotion on her cold little face, as if she was asking for his opinion.

"An Ning, throw him over here."

The result was already expected, so Lin Jiangnian was not surprised and smiled at An Ning.

An Ning was stunned when he heard this, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at the county lieutenant in front of him and thought for a while.

Immediately afterwards, An Ning swung the scabbard in his hand and slapped the county lieutenant in front of him, knocking the man away and causing him to fall heavily in front of Lin Jiangnian.

Simple and crude.

"Ouch!"

The county lieutenant lay on the ground, wailing and struggling in pain!
Sure enough, it was thrown over here!

After doing all this, An Ning walked to a place not far from Lin Jiangnian, sheathed his sword, and said nothing again.

Keep being a statue!
Shen Lingjun, who was standing by, saw this scene and was a little absent-minded. When he looked at the cold little girl again, he felt a little more apprehensive.

When Shen Lingjun saw the girl holding a sword beside Lin Jiangnian outside the town earlier, he vaguely realized that this girl might be no simple person.

As expected, his martial arts skills are unfathomable.

Judging from this girl's temperament, she should be Lin Jiangnian's maid.

This surprised Shen Lingjun. Where did Lin Jiangnian get so many powerful maids?
Previously there was a Kite whose martial arts were unfathomable, and now there is An Ning...

They are all people with beautiful looks and superb martial arts skills!
Even the maids around her were so powerful, which made Shen Lingjun realize how naive and stupid her previous plan to assassinate Lin Jiangnian was...

At this moment, the officers and soldiers around were furious when they saw their masters being tortured like this. Swords and knives were pointed at Lin Jiangnian and his men, but no one dared to step forward because of fear.

That girl holding the sword is so scary!

In addition, their own master was still in the hands of the other party, so they did not dare to act rashly.

Lin Jiangnian ignored the officers and soldiers around him, pulled a stool from the side and sat down, looked down at the county lieutenant who was wailing in pain on the ground, and chuckled: "I heard that you want to arrest me, right?"

At this moment, the dizzy county lieutenant finally caught his breath, struggled to get up from the ground, and looked into Lin Jiangnian's condescending gaze.

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he struggled to retreat and escape.

Just as he was about to take action, Shen Lingjun on the side was quick-witted and kicked him back.

"Ouch!"

The county lieutenant rolled on the ground in a rage: "You, do you know what you are doing? You, do you know who I am?!"

"Oh?"

Lin Jiangnian said with interest: "I really don't know."

"Tell me? Who are you?!"

The county lieutenant said angrily: "I am the county lieutenant of Fengping County. How dare you beat me? Do you know the consequences of beating officials? Just imagine, let me go quickly, otherwise..."

He threatened in a timid manner.

"How else?"

"Otherwise, don't even think about running away. For beating up an official of the imperial court, I can convict you of treason, punishable by death!"

The county lieutenant spoke viciously.

He is a county lieutenant, and he is in such a miserable state today. How can he swallow this anger?

Although he was in a mess at the moment, his tone was still full of ferocity and threats.

"Capital crime?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "You are just a small county lieutenant, and you want to kill me just like that?"

The county lieutenant smiled coldly, "This is Fengping County, and I have the final say. If I want you to die, then you must die!"

"Oh!"

Lin Jiangnian was somewhat stunned: "In other words, you have total control over Fengping County, right? Everyone has to listen to you?"

"That's right!"

The county lieutenant stared at him with a sneer: "If you know what's good for you, just let me go immediately, and I will consider sparing your life!"

"interesting."

Lin Jiangnian said with a smile: "How dare you, a mere county lieutenant, speak so arrogantly? It seems that there must be someone powerful behind you."

A small county lieutenant is so arrogant. There must be someone behind him. No wonder he dares to oppress the common people so blatantly.

The county lieutenant sneered: "You have some vision, why don't you release it quickly..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jiangnian had already shifted his gaze and glanced at the officers and soldiers around him.

"If I remember correctly, you are only a county lieutenant. Your immediate superior should be the county magistrate of Fengping County, right?"

"Where is the magistrate?"

Hearing Lin Jiangnian calling him the county magistrate directly and arrogantly, the county lieutenant became furious and was about to speak.

A voice suddenly came from outside the inn.

"The county magistrate is here!"

As soon as this voice came out, there was a commotion all around. Soon, a path was opened among the crowd of officers and soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man in a gray official robe ran into the inn in a hurried and awkward trot.

"Master Wu, you've arrived just in time, come and save me!"

When the county lieutenant saw the middle-aged man, his eyes suddenly lit up.

The county magistrate is here!

Very good!
Dead!
Everyone here is dead tonight!

The county lieutenant's facial expression was distorted due to excitement, and his whole body was trembling slightly. He didn't notice the horribly pale face of the middle-aged man who broke in.

The middle-aged man's surname is Wu, and he is the county magistrate of Fengping County.

However, at this moment, there was no trace of blood on the face of County Magistrate Wu.

He walked hurriedly, looked embarrassed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was still wearing his official uniform which he had not had time to take off.

At this moment, he broke into the inn.

When I saw the tense atmosphere in the inn, my heart suddenly felt nervous and an ominous premonition came to my mind.

When his eyes fell on the county lieutenant who was lying on the ground in a miserable state and looking at him for help, his eyelids suddenly jumped.

Then, his eyes fell on the young man sitting next to him.

He was dressed in a blue robe, had an extraordinary appearance, sharp features, and a gentle temperament. He was looking lazily and casually at the Magistrate Wu who had broken in.

The moment their eyes met, County Magistrate Wu trembled violently all over.

My heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

He completely ignored the county lieutenant who was looking at him in pain and asking for help, and hurriedly ran to Lin Jiangnian with weak steps.

Followed by.

He fell to his knees with a thump.

"Your Highness, I am sorry for not welcoming you and offending you. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Magistrate Wu’s head hit the ground heavily.

With this knock, the head hit the wooden board on the ground, making a dull sound.

And this dull sound was like a sledgehammer, hitting everyone's heart heavily.

The other people present looked at this scene with dull eyes, astonished, and stood there in a daze.

Incredible!

This, what is going on?

How, how come their county magistrate...knelt down in front of that young man? !

How could this be?
For a moment, the officers and soldiers present were at a loss.

Many people didn't realize what was going on and just looked at the scene in confusion and astonishment.

The person who was most shocked and doubtful about his life was the county lieutenant standing next to him.

He stared blankly at the county magistrate as he suddenly knelt down in front of him, and it took him a long time before he came to his senses.

Magistrate Wu...is he crazy?

Why is he kneeling?!
The extremely shocking scene before him left him stunned.

But soon after, he heard Magistrate Wu’s words and grasped the key point... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Which prince?

Which prince?

The county lieutenant was stunned, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind.

No matter which Crown Prince it is, as long as he is a Crown Prince... he is not someone he can afford to offend.

How could such a noble person appear in such a desolate little place like theirs?

Yes, could it be a mistake?
"Wu, Lord Wu..."

At this moment, the county lieutenant's voice was trembling slightly. He suddenly realized that the identity of this young man seemed to be unusual?
He looked at Magistrate Wu beside him with a look of help and hope, trying to get an answer.

However, County Magistrate Wu just gave him a cold look and angrily shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Lin is here, why don't you kneel down and greet him?!"

King Lin?

His Royal Highness?!
It was as if a bolt of thunder flashed through the county lieutenant's mind. His eyes were filled with fear and his face turned pale.

His body was unstable and he collapsed to the ground.

His face was distorted with fear, and he raised his head in disbelief, only to meet Lin Jiangnian's warm face.

She was giving him a kind smile, her eyes nonchalant.

"I heard that you want to kill me?"

"Really?"
