son, don't mess around

Night sky.

Full of murderous intent.

In the quiet little village, murderous aura suddenly arose.

On the walls surrounding the house, more than a dozen black shadows appeared in an instant.

Under the cover of darkness, the cold light is sharp.

These dozen black shadows held swords and knives, and the sharp swords looked extremely dazzling under the reflection of the moonlight.

Almost in an instant, the eyes of these dozen figures were all focused on Lin Jiangnian and others in the courtyard.

The next second, several black shadows jumped down from the wall and headed straight towards Lin Jiangnian.

"There are assassins!"

On the other side, Lin Qingqing noticed the surprise attack at the first moment, her eyes suddenly became alert, and she drew the long sword at her waist.

The guards following behind Lin Qingqing also drew their swords and rushed forward. In an instant, the originally quiet house was filled with the sound of swords clashing.

The scene fell into chaos.

night sky.

Behind these dozen assassins, there is a masked figure.

The man's face was covered and his appearance could not be seen clearly. One could only see a pair of sharp eyes staring at Lin Jiangnian's position in the dark.

He also took action when the house fell into chaos.

The strange figure disappeared from the spot, and a strong wind blew, leaving a residual image there.

The next second, he had already approached Lin Jiangnian.

Murderous aura is approaching!

"call out!"

Just as he was about to get closer, a cold light suddenly flashed.

next second!
"what!"

A sharp and miserable sound suddenly rang out.

The masked figure shuddered suddenly and froze in place.

He suddenly looked down and saw that his right palm was completely cut off.

Blood sprayed out instantly.

His pupils suddenly shrank, a look of disbelief and horror appeared on his face, and he looked up suddenly.

A girl in light clothes appeared in his sight without him noticing.

The girl had childish eyes, probably no more than a teenager, but her expression was extremely cold, and she exuded a cold aura that was totally inconsistent with her youth.

At this moment, she had stood in front of Lin Jiangnian without knowing when. The sword in her arms had already been unsheathed and was now held in her hand, pointing coldly at this person.

The sword was filled with a hint of chill, icy and bone-chilling.

He stared at the man expressionlessly.

Danger!

Danger! !
A feeling of horror instantly rose in this person's heart. It was an instinct for survival, which made him realize that this young girl in front of him posed a great threat to him...

How could there be such a master by the side of Prince Lin?

Something is wrong!
be cheated!
withdraw!
This was the only thought in his mind at the moment. He didn't even see how the girl made her move before his palm was cut off.

The intense pain and stimulation reminded him...that he had met a master!

run!
Without any hesitation, he turned around suddenly and planned to escape.

However, the next second, his whole body trembled violently again.

The cold sword had been pressed against his neck at some point. The bone-piercing cold instantly spread throughout his body, causing him to become stiff.

"Move again, and you'll die!"

The girl's voice came in a cold and emotionless tone.

Dead silence.

Chilling.

He didn't dare to move!

The next second, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he fell down limply.

When he fell, he only saw the cold eyes of the girl and the warm smile of the Prince Lin next to her.

"An Ning is so amazing!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The usual tranquility and the tranquility at this moment are completely two different things.

An Ning is usually timid and quiet. She is even scared every time she sees Lin Jiangnian, just like a weak little girl.

But in the present peace, where is the slightest bit of the tenderness of the past?

This temperament, this appearance, this figure, and the way he holds the sword... he is exactly like a master!

Moreover, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the masked figure lying on the ground. This man's martial arts skills were quite strong, but unfortunately he met An Ning.

An Ning's attack was without any of his usual gentleness. He swung his sword and instantly cut off the opponent's palm, making him lose his fighting ability.

Crisp and neat.

As expected of someone taught by Li Piaomiao, he was ruthless enough!
An Ning had a stern face. After dealing with the man in front of her, she slowly put away her sword and happened to meet Lin Jiangnian's warm smile. Hearing Lin Jiangnian's praise, her expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

The coldness just now disappeared in an instant, replaced by a feeling of being at a loss. He looked away in panic and lowered his head.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian's heart was moved.

What a contrast!
This face is so cute.

I want to pinch it!

……

At this moment, the assassination in the yard quickly came to an end.

Although Lin Jiangnian did not bring many experts with him when he left the city this time, those he brought were all top-notch experts.

In addition, An Ning had just taken action in an instant and dealt with the masked figure. This scene was seen by the remaining people, and their faces changed immediately.

They were not here to kill people today. Seeing that the other party had such a master by their side, they immediately lost the desire to fight.

"withdraw!"

The remaining black shadows retreated immediately.

He came with great momentum, turned around in a panic when he ran, and escaped in a hurry by climbing over the wall.

"Your Highness, do you want to chase?!"

When Lin Qingqing saw these dark shadows trying to run away, she immediately asked Lin Jiangnian for instructions.

"Forget it, let them go. Be careful not to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Lin Jiangnian shook his head slightly and didn't let Lin Qingqing chase after her.

"Keep an eye on Chen Junru and Xu Xianglian, and don't let anything unexpected happen to them."

Lin Jiangnian glanced back and saw that Chen Junru had fainted. Xu Xianglian on the other side was curled up in a corner, looking at the scene around her with horror.

"Yes."

Lin Qingqing nodded and did not chase after him. She ordered the remaining guards to start cleaning up the scene and to protect Chen Junru and Xu Xianglian.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the masked figure who was captured alive and lying on the ground, walked up to him, squatted in front of him, and pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a man who looked to be about thirty years old.

At this moment, this person's face was covered in cold sweat, and he was trembling all over due to the severe pain of the broken hand. He stared at Lin Jiangnian with fear and vigilance.

"Tell me, who are you? Who sent you? What's your purpose?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

But this person just snorted coldly: "Today I admit defeat, you can kill me or chop me up as you please, but don't even think of asking me to betray you!"

"Oh, I didn't realize you're quite righteous?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Do you know who I am?"

The man snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know Prince Lin?"

"It seems like they are coming for this prince?"

Lin Jiangnian sneered: "Since you know who this prince is, how dare you speak so arrogantly?"

"Do you think you can keep your identity secret from this prince?"

This person obviously didn't take Lin Jiangnian's words seriously, and snorted coldly: "I've already told you, you can kill me or chop me up as you like!"

Now that he has failed, he will naturally admit it!

"Assassinating this prince is not as simple as killing you!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and said calmly, "You have to think about it carefully. Not only you will die, but your family members and friends will die... All nine of your clans will be killed by this prince. Even your ancestors, I will send people to dig up their graves and hang them at the gate of Linjiang City for public display. Let the world see the consequences of assassinating this prince..." The man's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he glared at him, "Lin Jiangnian, you dare?!"

"You are despicable, but you can't bring disaster to your family. If you have the guts, come after me!"

This person didn't seem to have expected that Lin Jiangnian would be so cruel. Not only did he want to kill his entire family, he even didn't spare the ancestral grave... What a beast!

"Why would this prince come after you? What's the point of killing you? If I'm going to kill you, I have to leave no one alive..."

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "So, have you considered whether to continue to uphold professional ethics or choose to protect your family and your ancestral grave?"

He can only choose between professional ethics and family.

This person had an extremely ugly expression on his face, his eyes were filled with anger, and he stared at Lin Jiangnian, hesitant.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely: "You son of a bitch, don't think I will be fooled by you. Even if I tell you, you will never let my family go, right?"

"You have a misunderstanding of me. I always keep my word. As long as you tell me, I promise that I will never dig up your ancestral graves... How do you think?"

"brute!"

When he heard that Lin Jiangnian was going to dig up his ancestral grave, this man's eyes became furious and he almost wanted to stand up and fight Lin Jiangnian to the death.

For people of this generation, ancestral graves are more important than life. If the graves are dug up, how will they have the face to see their ancestors in the future?
mean!

So despicable!

He stared at Lin Jiangnian, but Lin Jiangnian just looked at him indifferently. Although there was a smile on his face, that smile made people feel a little creepy.

He shuddered violently, and finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "If I tell you, will you let my...ancestor go?"

"That's natural."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"Then come closer and I'll tell you..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and moved slightly closer.

Just as Lin Jiangnian approached, a fierce light suddenly flashed in the man's eyes.

"Go to hell, you dog!"

Originally this man was extremely weak, but in an instant he suddenly burst out with majestic momentum and slapped Lin Jiangnian's chest with one palm.

An Ning, who was standing next to Lin Jiangnian, instantly noticed something was wrong and her eyes suddenly changed.

"Small……"

But she had no time to remind him because the distance was too close. Before she could finish her words, the man's sneak attack suddenly came.

He has a fierce look in his eyes!
It would be great if I could kill the prince of Lin and die with him!

But in the next second, the Prince of Lin in front of him, who looked harmless and even a little weak, burst out with a powerful aura.

Hot!

Devouring him instantly.

His palm landed on this breath and was instantly swallowed up.

"puff……"

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and he fell to the ground with a pale face. He looked up with horror and disbelief at the still harmless young man in front of him: "You, you..."

He never expected that the Prince of Lin in front of him was actually so talented? !

He is actually an absolute master? !
"I've given you the chance, but you're useless!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and said, "Since you don't want to protect your nine clans, then I will grant your wish."

After that, Lin Jiangnian slowly stood up and said slowly: "Qingqing, find out the identity of this person, dig three feet into the ground, and cut off the roots!"

"Yes!"

Lin Qingqing nodded indifferently.

The man on the ground had a dull look in his eyes and was already in despair. It was not until Lin Qingqing drew her sword and approached that a trace of fear flashed across his pupils, and he finally became afraid.

"Don't, don't kill me..."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian turned around and looked at An Ning who was still in a daze: "Let's go."

An Ning came back to his senses, glanced at the man on the ground, then looked at Lin Jiangnian, and followed him.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "What's wrong with you?"

An Ning secretly looked up at Lin Jiangnian, then quickly lowered her head and shook it. After a while, she couldn't help herself and asked in a low voice: "You, you really want to..."

"Dig up his ancestors' graves?"

Hearing this question, Lin Jiangnian stopped and looked back at An Ning.

Unexpectedly, she is still struggling with this issue.

"Why do you ask?"

An Ning lowered her head and shook it, as if she didn't know what to say, with a confused look on her face.

"Don't worry, it won't happen... I'm not that stupid yet."

Lin Jiang laughed: "That was to scare him."

"Then he..."

"He must die."

Lin Jiangnian said that digging up the ancestral grave was just to scare this person, he was not so cruel, but this person wanted to assassinate him, so he could not let him stay.

"Oh."

An Ning nodded, not quite understanding: "Then..."

She asked cautiously again: "Hasn't it been found out who sent him yet?"

"No need to check."

Lin Jiangnian looked into An Ning's lively yet puzzled eyes and chuckled, "You can guess it."

As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the yard and said, "At this late hour, a group of assassins suddenly appeared in this small village in the wilderness... Who do you think sent them?"

An Ning was stunned. Who sent her?
She subconsciously followed Lin Jiangnian's gaze and realized that they were in a small mountain village.

How could someone suddenly come to assassinate someone in a small mountain village like this?

This is unusual, unless...

An Ning seemed to suddenly think of something, her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise: "Chen, someone from the Chen family?"

"clever!"

Lin Jiang praised in a young voice.

Even An Ning could guess it, it was already obvious.

"Let's go."

Seeing An Ning still in a daze, Lin Jiangnian subconsciously reached out and touched her little head: "Tonight, it's still lively."

An Ning stood there in a daze, staring at Lin Jiangnian in a daze.

The next second, the fair little face turned red again and she lowered her head in panic.

Some are at a loss.

When she came to her senses, she found that Lin Jiangnian had already walked to the gate of the courtyard and was looking back at her: "Huh? Why don't you leave?"

An Ning quickly lowered his head again, hugged the sword tightly in his arms, followed Lin Jiangnian's footsteps, and left the house.

The small mountain village was silent.

The fight in the courtyard started and ended quickly and did not attract the attention of the villagers.

After Lin Jiangnian and his group quickly cleaned up the scene, they left the small mountain village and prepared to return to the city.

Just as everyone left the small mountain village, returned to the town, left the town through the small path, and were about to return to the official road.

The carriage stopped silently again.

"Your Highness!"

Outside the carriage, Lin Qingqing's low and alert voice was heard.

Hearing this voice, An Ning, who had been keeping his head down in the carriage, seemed to realize something. He instantly tightened the sword in his hand, looked up at Lin Jiangnian, his cold eyes full of vigilance and uneasiness.

Lin Jiangnian signaled her not to worry, slowly lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage.

Several figures appeared on the path not far away, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

The surroundings were silent, and an invisible, oppressive, murderous aura enveloped the air.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged figure was sitting on a horse, looking expressionless.

It’s Chen Hongsheng!
