The ruthless prince and the enchanting concubine

Chapter 140 Shen Haoyue's Suspicion
On the frozen Gupan River embankment, two men in black stood leaning against the wind. At this moment, they had taken off the black veils covering their faces. Their eyes were lonely, and they were looking in the direction of the general's mansion in the city.

"Xiao Xi, will His Highness really come?" Zhao Shuo asked Nangong Yuexi beside him while looking in that direction.

"Don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, His Highness will definitely come. When he was looking at us upstairs in Guangling City, I already saw the clue. He must have recognized us, and last time I already put this look forward to him." I have told His Highness the location by the river, and he will definitely come." Nangong Yuexi had already taken off his black cloth headband at this time, revealing his cloud-like blue hair, which was frizzed by the cold wind. Yang, strands of drifting, beautiful and good-looking.

Suddenly Nangong Yuexi's eyes brightened and said to Zhao Shuo beside him in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is coming."

But I saw a white shadow rushing towards the street in the city, in stark contrast to the cold night, the white shadow was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of the two people.

The person who came was Shen Haoyue, and as Nangong Yuexi guessed, he really came here to meet the two of them by the Gupan River.

After Shen Haoyue walked in and the two saw clearly, Zhao Shuo and Nangong Yuexi kowtowed to the ground one after another, and Zhao Shuo was even more devout, this was the first time he met Prince Wuli.

"See Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The two saluted respectfully.

Shen Haoyue's face was expressionless, revealing a trace of resolute sternness, he walked past the two with his hands behind his back, and said softly: "Get up." In these words, there was a sense of majesty of a prince, a sense of arrogance of a king.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Zhao Shuo and Nangong Yuexi got up one after another, Zhao Shuo lowered his eyes and did not dare to look directly at Shen Haoyue.Before this, Shen Haoyue had never met this person, but only heard Nangong Yuexi talk to him.

"Are you Zhao Shuo from Baidumen?" Shen Haoyue looked at the tall man in front of him. After all, if he and Nangong Yuexi hadn't rescued him, no matter he or Ning Yan, he would be in danger.

Zhao Shuo hurriedly cupped his fists upwards, "Your Highness, this is your subordinate." Shen Haoyue stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Well, very good, if you and Yue Xi hadn't arrived in time tonight, Things are really troublesome."

Facing Shen Haoyue's words, Zhao Shuo seemed somewhat flattered, and saluted repeatedly.

Shen Haoyue turned his head to Nangong Yuexi again, suddenly his face sank like water, and there was a chill in his eyes.

"Yue Xi, tell me, did that Nangong Jin do what happened tonight, did he send his subordinates?" In his heart, he had already decided that this matter had something to do with Nangong Jin.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Yuexi shook his head in confusion, and said in a panic, "Your Highness, why did you say that, this matter has nothing to do with Jin... Nangong Jin! If Nangong Jin did it, I will Yue Xi will definitely notify His Highness as soon as possible!" Nangong Yuexi said anxiously, to this day, Nangong Jin still occupies an indelible position in her heart, her affection for Shen Haoyue is loyalty, but for Nangong Jin It is love.She couldn't see her revered Highness misunderstand Nangong Jin.

"Oh?" Shen Haoyue sneered upon hearing this, "If this matter wasn't done by Nangong Jin? How could you know what happened tonight in advance?"

Shen Haoyue's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Nangong Yuexi hurriedly clarified: "Your Highness, you misunderstood. I really don't know about this matter. Now Zhao Shuo is arranged by the sect master near you and has been secretly protecting you. Tonight he saw some men in black sneaking into the general. Mansion, I know that the big thing is not good, it just so happened that you went to the Guangling Tower, Zhao Shuo took this opportunity to send me a letter, so we came here in a hurry..."

There was a trace of anxiety in Nangong Yuexi's eyes.

Zhao Shuo on the side also nodded hastily, telling Shen Haoyue that this is indeed the case.

The conversation between the two made Shen Haoyue confused again. If Nangong Jin hadn't sent someone to assassinate him, who else would it be?
By the cold Gu Pan River, the three of them stood in the cold wind, relatively speechless, Shen Haoyue fell into boundless confusion, his eyes were blurred, looking at the frozen river, his brows frowned.

"Hey, that's all, it's not Nangong Jin, but if it wasn't for him, who else would want to take my life?"

Looking at His Highness's behavior, Nangong Yuexi and Zhao Shuo were in every possible way, not knowing what to say.

After a long time, Nangong Yuexi clasped his fists again, "Your Highness, don't worry at this time, Zhao Shuo and I will do our best to find out who is behind the scenes and give His Highness an explanation."

In the bitter cold wind, Shen Haoyue looked at the firm faces of Nangong Yuexi and Zhao Shuo, and didn't say anything, but nodded lightly...

Thirty killers headed by the night owl Wang Xingyuan returned to Linglong Pavilion overnight because they failed to assassinate Shen Haoyue, and more than half of them were killed or injured.

At this moment, they were kneeling in the courtyard of Jiangnantian, bowing their heads in silence, waiting for the punishment from the pavilion master.

Jiang Nantian, dressed in casual clothes, kept turning around in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, his brows were tightly locked together, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth secretly.

"Trash! You are a bunch of trash! Thirty people can't do it? Do you want me to get rid of all the people in Linglong Pavilion?" Jiang Nantian stopped suddenly, turned around, and looked at the people behind him. Said the kneeling hand.

Because of waiting for the news, Jiang Nantian stayed up all night and waited anxiously, but what he never expected to wait was such an extremely disappointing news...

Wang Xingyuan shook his head tremblingly: "Pavilion Master, if there is only Shen Haoyue, our brothers will definitely be able to put him to death, but we did not expect that two men in black who are good at using hidden weapons will be killed halfway. Unprepared, that's why..."

"Shut your mouth! Don't say two, even two more! Don't forget, there are thirty of you!" Jiangnan's internal organs were on fire, and the seven orifices were full of smoke. He didn't know what to do. .

A dark plan suddenly appeared in Jiang Nantian's mind, he squinted his eyes and secretly thought about what to do next.

Turning around to see, Jiangnantian came to Wang Xingyuan, lowered his body slightly, and grabbed his neck collar, Wang Xingyuan's body was like chaff, his lips and teeth trembled.

"Hmph! Useless things, you came back with a total of twelve people, very good, next time I will take you there personally! I want to see how difficult he is to kill Shen Haoyue! You get out of here, after listening to my words Order, next time you go with me, remember everything for me, next time you can only succeed, not fail, if anyone delays and comes back to count this time, I will definitely peel his skin!" Jiang Nantian spoke fiercely and his voice was scary. After he finished speaking, he let go of Wang Xingyuan's hand and walked into the inner room angrily.

And those who knelt down below were all face-to-face with yellow paper, so startled, they kowtowed and saluted again, and left the courtyard listlessly.

Three days later, in the central distribution hall of Linglong Pavilion.

Jiang Nantian was sitting on the golden lacquered wooden seat in the middle, wearing a black outfit, short skirt, and small attire, staring gloomyly at the dozen or so men also dressed in black in front of him, standing in front of this group of people. The one in front was that night owl Wang Xingyuan.

Everyone's faces were cold, which added a bit of chill to the already cold and empty hall...

The people standing below are the twelve assassins who failed to assassinate Shen Haoyue last time and retreated, as well as other elites in Linglong Pavilion.

Jiang Nantian had a stern expression on his face, with frightening eyes.He stood up, and in his hand, he was holding a three-foot Longquan sword, a white sharkskin sword case, and a golden sword with two precious stones inlaid on it, emitting a little bit of cold light.

"Have you ever understood what I said?" Jiang Nantian said coldly, looking up at the group of people standing in front of him.

"Understood!" Everyone in the hall responded, and the voice echoed in the room, gradually fading and dissipating.

"Very good! There is only one requirement for the assassination of Shen Haoyue this time, that is, only success is allowed, and no failure is allowed. This time I will go out personally, and I hope you can do it boldly! I, Jiangnantian, have treated you well for so many years, I hope you don't Let me down, and something like last time will happen again." Jiang Nantian's words were like a potion, and everyone present was excited and gearing up.

With a sound of pulling, Jiangnantian pulled out the three-foot Longquan sword in his hand, and a sharp flash struck, and the sound of dragons chant and tigers roaring continued, he said in a low voice, "Go down the mountain!"
