son, don't mess around

Outside Linjiang City.

In a deserted town.

"Master!"

Several dark shadows landed silently outside a shaded tree, and looked down respectfully at the black-robed figure standing under the shaded tree.

Under the inky black robe, there was an invisible figure dancing in the wind, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the air between heaven and earth.

Under the black robe, there was a hideous and creepy ancient bronze mask, and through the mask, there was a pair of cold eyes, looking into the distance.

It’s the leader of the Tianshen Religion!

"Someone is pretending to be a member of my Celestial God Religion?"

The leader's voice was a little low and hoarse, without any emotion.

Several shadows outside the shade of the tree said respectfully: "We followed the leader's order to go to Linjiang City to inquire about the situation, but we learned that someone pretended to be a member of our Tianshen Sect and robbed the prisoners of Linwang Mansion, trying to frame us..."

"We have come back specially to report to the Master, please make the decision!"

The leader of the Heavenly God Cult, dressed in a black robe, stood under the tree with a cold look in his eyes: "Lin Wangfu?"

The low voice seemed to be talking to himself.

"Check who is impersonating our Tianshen Sect!"

The leader's cold voice came.

"Yes."

Several dark figures lowered their heads, received the order, and left in a hurry.

The leader still stood there, expressionless.

Not long after, another dark figure appeared not far away, approached, bowed his head and saluted respectfully: "Master!"

The black-robed leader looked at him and asked, "Have you found out the whereabouts of the Saint?"

The shadow shook his head, looking a little embarrassed: "The Saint may have known your purpose long ago, Master, and hid herself on purpose. It will not be easy for us to find her whereabouts..."

As soon as the words fell, the man clearly felt a chill of oppression coming from the leader, and his heart shuddered: "But don't worry, leader, I have already laid a net, she will definitely not escape from your palm..."

"I have concluded that the Saint will definitely come to Linzhou... She colluded with the fake Prince of Lin and betrayed the leader. Now that the plan has been exposed, she will definitely find the fake Prince of Lin..."

"We just need to keep an eye on the fake Prince Lin, and we will definitely find the whereabouts of the Saint!"

The leader looked at him expressionlessly. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Didn't you say that the Prince Lin is a fake?"

"Why didn't Lin Hengzhong respond?"

Facing the leader's questioning, the black shadow trembled slightly, and a hint of confusion and doubt appeared in his eyes.

Indeed, something is wrong!

Not long ago, the four elders of the church suddenly attacked the Saint, instigated the people around the Saint to rebel, and confirmed that the Saint had deceived and betrayed the leader, and had an affair with the Prince Lin!

To be precise, she was having an affair with a fake Prince Lin!

The real Prince Lin has died, so the saint found a man who looks just like the Prince Lin to impersonate him and sneak into the Prince Lin's mansion.

However, after the plan was exposed and failed, the saint deliberately concealed the matter and deceived the leader!

When the leader learned of this, he became furious and immediately ordered the saint to go to Xuzhou to see her.

The saint traveled all the way south from Xuzhou, but when she arrived in Yanzhou, she suddenly disappeared!
Obviously, the saint was aware of the danger and hid herself!

When the leader learned of this, he immediately ordered the members of the Tianshen Sect to search for the whereabouts of the saint.

However, the saint seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and her whereabouts could never be found.

In the entire Tianshen Sect, apart from the leader, the Saint Girl has almost no rivals in terms of martial arts skills. If she had prepared in advance and hidden her tracks, with the current strength of the Tianshen Sect, it would be almost impossible to find her!
At this time, the fourth elder made another suggestion to the leader: Since the Saint was hiding the news about the fake prince, she must have some ulterior motive. Since we can't find the Saint, why not start with the fake prince...

Therefore, the leader ordered his men to spread the news and evidence of the fake prince, and at the same time, he set up a dragnet in Linzhou and Linjiang City.

When the Saint learns that the news about the fake prince has been exposed, she will definitely not be able to sit still and will definitely come to Linjiang City.

On the other hand, spreading the news about the fake prince would definitely cause unrest in the Lin Wang Mansion. This way, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone!
However, what they didn't expect was that even after so long since the news spread, the saint still didn't show up.

And there was still no movement at Prince Lin's Mansion!

The news about the fake prince was spreading among the people, but there was no response from the Prince Lin's Mansion, which was very unusual.

It's really puzzling!
"Could it be that...something happened to Lin Hengzhong? Is he in danger?"

The shadow guessed, "Lin Hengzhong was stabbed some time ago and was said to be seriously injured. Could this be related?"

The eyes under the bronze mask were cold and indifferent, looking forward coldly: "Impossible!"

"Lin Hengzhong, it's not that easy to die!"

The voice was low and firm, and there seemed to be an indescribable chill in it!
The black shadow lowered his head and didn't dare to answer.

Every time the leader mentioned Lin Hengzhong, he seemed to have a complex emotion that was hard to understand.

If Lin Hengzhong wasn’t dead... then this situation would be a bit strange!
Everyone knew that he was a fake prince, but he could still appear in front of everyone with such brazenness... It's so weird!
"Keep checking!"

The black-robed leader's voice was emotionless, and he said coldly: "If you find the whereabouts of the Saint, report it to me immediately!"

"Yes!"

After everyone had left, the black-robed leader was still standing under the shade of the tree, his face invisible under the bronze mask.

He slowly lowered his head and closed his eyes.

"Not even close!"

He seemed to be muttering to himself, then turned his head and looked in one direction.

That direction is Linjiang City!
In the Prince's Palace!
"Lin Hengzhong, I will settle the grudge with you sooner or later!"

He was talking to himself.

The next second, the figure left the spot.

……

"Your Highness, I have already found out that the people who kidnapped Chen Junru may indeed be from the Celestial God Cult!"

In the palace, Lin Qingqing hurried back from outside and reported the situation to Lin Jiangnian.

Chen Junru was kidnapped and the incident caused a lot of controversy.

Everyone was already paying attention to the situation at this time, but unexpectedly the prisoner was kidnapped on the way. This was a blatant confrontation with the government and the court.

The serious crime of treason!

The people are already quarreling!
One party firmly believed that this was definitely done by the Chen family. No one else had the courage to do this except the Chen family. They had never heard of the Heavenly God Cult. It was definitely fabricated by the Chen family to divert attention!
Chen Junru is a member of the Chen family. Apart from the Chen family, who else would want to save him?
On the other hand, the rationalists said that you haven't heard of the Tianshen Sect because you country bumpkins have not grown up. They proudly explained the origin of the Tianshen Sect to these country bumpkins, and said that a year ago, the Linwang Mansion severely cracked down on the Tianshen Sect, causing this evil organization to suffer heavy losses. This prisoner hijacking was most likely the Tianshen Sect's revenge on the Linwang Mansion.

The two sides quarreled fiercely, the matter became more and more serious, and the pressure fell on the government. The government mobilized almost all available manpower to search for Chen Junru's whereabouts in Linjiang City!
Since the prisoner was kidnapped in the city, he must still be in the city. However, with Linjiang City being so large, it would take an unknown amount of time to search the city relying solely on government manpower.

After the incident, Lin Qingqing immediately went to the scene to investigate the situation. After questioning everyone and listening to the words of the eyewitnesses, she finally came to the conclusion that it was indeed possible that the Celestial God Cult did it!

"From the description of the eyewitnesses, the people who kidnapped Chen Junru do seem to be from the Tianshen Cult..."

Lin Qingqing frowned. She had dealt with people from the Celestial God Religion before and knew their nature. But after all, she had never seen it with her own eyes and was not sure.

“However, this does not rule out the possibility that the Chen family may be colluding with the Celestial God Cult!”

Listening to Lin Qingqing's report, Lin Jiangnian seemed to be thinking about something.

He suddenly thought of Liu Su. If she were there, things would become much simpler.

She is the saint of the Celestial God Church, and she can easily handle such things.

I just don’t know where she is now?
Lin Jiangnian frowned slightly. There had been no news about Liu Su for some time. She was most likely in some trouble!
Otherwise, how could it disappear for so long?
With Liu Su's martial arts, there aren't many troubles she can run into in this world. Even if she encounters an extremely powerful master, she can still escape.

unless……

In an instant, Lin Jiangnian's expression changed.

He suddenly thought of someone...the leader!
The leader of the Tianshen Cult! If there is anyone in this world who can cause trouble and threats to Liu Su, it is most likely this leader!

Liu Su disappeared for such a long time, maybe it has something to do with this leader? !

"Qingqing."

Qingqing had just finished reporting the situation in the city when she suddenly saw His Highness's face change slightly: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"Go help me with something!"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke in a deep voice: "Hurry up and send someone to check the Heavenly God Sect and find out where their leader is now!"

"Check where the people from the Celestial God Cult have been active recently... Investigate their recent action plans. If you have any clues, report to me immediately!"

Lin Qingqing was still a little dazed. Chatianshen Sect?
"Your Highness, do you suspect that this was really done by the Celestial God Cult?"

Lin Jiang shook his head with a serious expression, "You go and do this first."

Lin Qingqing realized that His Highness's expression looked a little strange, so she stopped wasting time.

"Yes!"

Then he left in a hurry.

After Lin Qingqing left, Lin Jiangnian's expression remained tense and his brows were furrowed.

He had never thought about this and almost forgot that there was a greater threat from the Celestial God Cult...

It is true that Liu Su is the saint of the Heavenly God Religion, but Lin Jiangnian also knows that Liu Su does not actually listen to the leader that much!

What's more, the chief elder of the Celestial God Cult died at the hands of Liu Su. Although Liu Su did a perfect job, if it was leaked...

Internal strife is strictly prohibited within the Tianshen Sect. Once discovered, Liu Su would be in danger!
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian felt even heavier in his heart.

He took a deep breath, hoping that his guesses were all false. If that leader really wanted to harm Liu Su, the consequences would be disastrous!
"Your Highness?"

When Lin Jiangnian's face was gloomy, Jinxiu's uneasy voice came to his ears.

"what happened to you?"

When Lin Qingqing was reporting the situation just now, Jinxiu was listening nearby. When His Highness suddenly sent Lin Qingqing to investigate the Celestial God Cult, and he looked so serious, Jinxiu immediately realized that something might have happened? !

This matter should have nothing to do with Chen Junru!

Jinxiu vaguely guessed something.

Ever since he learned on the city wall that Chen Junru had been kidnapped, His Highness had always remained calm and composed, without any sense of urgency or worry.

It seems that he is not worried at all that Chen Junru will disappear!
But now, His Highness's expression suddenly changed... Maybe something else happened.

"fine!"

Lin Jiangnian temporarily suppressed his uneasiness and shook his head.

"Your Highness is a liar!"

Jinxiu looked at Lin Jiangnian dimly. How could His Highness's reaction look like nothing happened?
Something must have happened!

"Your Highness is almost writing something on his face!"

Jinxiu sighed softly, stood up and walked behind Lin Jiangnian, stretched out her bare hands and gently kneaded his shoulders.

"Although I can't help Your Highness, I will definitely not cause any trouble for you. If anything happens to Your Highness, you can talk to me..."

Jinxiu's voice was very soft and gentle: "I can also help Your Highness to share the burden. It is better for two people to bear it than one person. If it really doesn't work... I can also help Your Highness to ask the princess for help?!"

"I can't help your Highness, but the princess can!"

Jinxiu's gentle voice temporarily suppressed the impatience in Lin Jiangnian's heart.

Feeling the gentle strength on his shoulder, Lin Jiangnian turned around and took Jinxiu, who was standing behind him, into his arms.

Jinxiu fell into His Highness's arms unexpectedly, and immediately blushed as she struggled to get up: "Your Highness, you, you... An Ning is still here!"

Under the eaves on the other side, a girl holding a sword was watching this scene.

He turned his head away in panic!

His face flushed slightly.

At the same time, a strange emotion flashed across her eyes.

"It's okay, An Ning didn't look at us!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the girl holding the sword and spoke softly.

"Well, that won't work either..."

How could Jinxiu tolerate being so intimate with His Highness in front of An Ning?
What a shame!

She struggled desperately!
Lin Jiangnian did not force the hug, but pinched her cheek and chuckled, "Miss Jinxiu's words just now touched me deeply. Come and let me kiss you!"

"don't want!!"

Jinxiu struggled desperately with a red face.

But even so, Lin Jiangnian still kissed Jinxiu's delicate and rosy face before letting her go.

As soon as Jinxiu got away, she immediately hid far away, wiping her face, and glared at him with shame and anger.

Seeing Jinxiu's shy expression, Lin Jiangnian felt much better.

"Okay, we have to solve the current problem first."

Lin Jiangnian said, "We need to first find out whether the person was rescued by the Chen family!"

Jinxiu rolled her eyes beautifully: "How do you plan to investigate, Your Highness?"

"It may not be that easy to investigate the Chen family. Chen Hongsheng will not easily leave any evidence behind."

"It's also difficult to investigate from the Celestial God Church, unless Your Highness can catch someone from the Celestial God Church, and he must be at least a high-ranking executive."

"Catch someone?"

Hearing Jinxiu's words, Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment. His eyes then shifted from Jinxiu to An Ning, who had remained silent.

The next second, a thought emerged in his mind.

Lin Jiangnian's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Your Highness, what are you looking at?!"

Jinxiu instantly caught his highness's gaze and stood in front of him, blocking his view of An Ning.

Facing Jinxiu's angry expression, he said, "Your Highness, you don't even need to hide it now, right?!"

"what happened?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little confused.

"What do you think, Your Highness?!"

"I just thought of a good idea!"

"What's a good idea?"

"..."

After a while, Jinxiu looked shocked and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"what?"

"You mean..."

"Let An Ning pretend to be the Saint of the Celestial God Cult and go to the Chen family to gather information?!"
