C129

Qian Yi's eyes darkened slightly. Back then, when he had advised Shen Hancheng, Shen Hancheng had not given him the slightest leeway.

And now …

It was not easy for him to see Shen Hancheng having thoughts of retreating, how could he let it go?!

It should be known, for the identity of the master to deal with an envoy from the Chenxi Kingdom, how inappropriate!

Without delay, Qian Yi immediately advised: "Master, you cannot …"

Shen Hancheng raised his hand and stopped Qian Yi's words. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Grand Commandant Lin and mocked:

"This King knows better than you that he cannot, but... Who taught him to injure Su Jinruo?! If This King does not protect This King's people, who will?! "

Qian Yi looked up in astonishment, "Master, you are doing this for the City Lord Su?!"

With regards to Master's orders, Master would never explain the reason to him, so he had never known why Master would suddenly teach Dongling Liusu a lesson …

Now that he knew the reason, he felt like his throat was stuck. His throat felt tight, and even his speech began to tremble.

Master, master, do you know what you are doing?!

Have you forgotten Ning Xiaoyao's orders from the past …?

"So what? If we were to talk about the end, back then …" It should not have allowed him to approach This King and become This King's Seven Day Subordinate. "

Shen Hancheng stopped in his tracks. He did not know that Qian Yi's mind was wandering around. His eyes congealed as Shen Hancheng looked at the back of the Grand Commandant, and started laughing maniacally.

Everything was within his grasp.

However …

Shen Hancheng asked Su Jinruo a question half-heartedly and lazily, "It's just that I admit that you're one of this king's people."

Su Jinruo's eyes flashed, and shifted his gaze away from Shen Hancheng, but he suddenly heard Shen Hancheng ask:

"The person who wants your life is someone you once adored and admired. However, looking at you now, this king isn't so unhappy …"

Lifting his eyes, Su Jinruo once again met Shen Hancheng's eyes, which were filled with a smile that was not a smile. His heart tightened, he had been busy guessing who had set this up, and had forgotten about this matter.

It was just that, at that time, she had only said those words to achieve her goal, and was not really interested in Shen Fan.

She did not know what a complicated feeling it would be if she heard that the person she loved, even the person she once loved, was going to take her life.

Suddenly, Su Jinruo thought of Mu Jing. Her pain was deeply felt by the bystanders.

Is To...

Su Jinruo was unable to shed tears, he could only lower his head and wail.

"Just now, this official was just too shocked. For a moment, it was difficult for me to calm my mind. Now that I've been mentioned by the prince, my heart is extremely sad …"

Look... The green-gowned youth's eyes drooped downwards, his tone filled with emotion, the corner of his lips lifted up slightly, as his expression darkened.

All of a sudden, the good feeling of revisiting the old place was wiped away by her words.

Shen Hancheng glanced at her coldly. "Lunch, this king wants to eat fish."

Su Jinruo looked up to see Shen Hancheng lazily getting up and saying to her:

"Naturally, the heavy responsibility of fishing... I'll leave it to City Lord Su. "

Su Jinruo's eyes changed, and he stood up as well, "But, this official will not …"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Hancheng had already turned and returned to the thatched cottage, leaving no leeway.

Su Jinruo stared at the back of Shen Hancheng as he left, slightly startled.

Just a moment ago, he had thought that Shen Hancheng was actually not bad … In the blink of an eye, he had returned to his true self.

Powerful, cold, and uncaring of others …" The prince was sick!

Withdrawing her gaze, her gaze landed on the surface of the lake, which did not have a single ripple.

The lake was very deep, and the surface wasn't narrow either. If he didn't perform martial arts, there wouldn't be any tools to catch fish in the surroundings …

It was easier said than done!

Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng was simply making things difficult for her!

But...

Weren't they living in peace just now?

Why...

Su Jinruo slightly frowned, abandoning the undulating emotions in his heart, he began to ponder on how he could pass this trial.

Su Jinruo did not go to the morning assembly. There was no way he could hide the fact that he was missing.

Lv Ruo was extremely anxious in his heart, but he did not hear any news of her young master's death, so he immediately became slightly more at ease.

Actually, she did not know how profound her young master's martial arts were.

But she was still worried about Su Jinruo, just because...

As many as fifty-nine corpses were found on the mountain. It was shocking!

She could not hide where Su Jinruo had gone to last, so the palace sent people to ask. Even the Prime Minister Su looked bad, and sent people to look for him.

This time...

The major assassination still reached the palace in the end.

Her young master … Helpless, he was once again involved.

Mama Fang did not sleep soundly, while Su Ranxiao also did not sit back. Although Hong Ling had been maintaining his silence, the worry on his face did not disappear.

They were all sincere towards Su Jinruo, without any hint of hypocrisy or hypocrisy.

But...

They could only act based on their hearts. They couldn't do anything about it … He couldn't do anything else.

The morning sunlight was not hot, but as time passed, it made people feel that the heat was unbearable.

Incense curled around the room as the youth reclined atop the brocade. His slender figure was covered in snow-white clothes. His eyes were gently closed, as clean as if they were spotless.

The slightly curled lips contained a warm smile. In his hand, he held a Night Pearl, and his every move did not have the slightest bit of killing intent.

Someone was kneeling on one knee on the ice-cold ground through the screen. His posture was humble, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at the people blocked by the screen.

After a slight hesitation, the person finally spoke in a low voice:

"Master, some words came from the palace, they have a rough estimate that Su Jinruo fell off the cliff, but the Seventh Prince's personal guard jumped out to say that his master, as well as the last place he went, could also be on the mountainside. After that, the matter was handed over to the Supreme Court to settle. Jumping off a cliff, your death is unknown. "

The eyes of the young man on the platform were still closed, as though this piece of news was nothing compared to him.

However, it was indeed nothing … The youth asked, "Son of Heaven, do you have anything to say?"

The people kneeling on the ground responded, "The Son of Heaven is furious and ordered the justice courts to investigate this matter. At the same time, he sent elite soldiers to split into two parts, one part to start from the top of the cliff and the other part to search for the entrance at the foot of the mountain. His Majesty wants them to definitely find the Seventh Prince and the City Lord Su within three days. "

He put his palms together and lightly tapped his fingers. After a moment of silence, he lightly said:

"Wait until we take back the corpses and bury them properly."

Mentioning those corpses, the man kneeling on the ground couldn't help but have a sinister look in his eyes as he said:

"If I knew that the Seventh Prince's martial arts were not as profound as the rumors say, Master would have sent some people with superior martial arts or this subordinate would have personally dealt with him. His head would have been caught easily, and losing this opportunity is truly a pity …"

It was not because he felt sorry for the dead assassins, but it was because of their lives.

Those who succeed in great things, don't care about trifling matters. A mere sixty lives, if it really is able to help the Lord, then what would it count as …

He was just a little worried. If the person sent by the lord yesterday wasn't a top assassin, then … Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng would definitely lose his life under this blade!

Now, my lord does not need to be so worried. He is worried about whether Shen Hancheng is unharmed after jumping down the cliff, or maybe … Still struggling?

In the quiet room, the light was dim. Separated by the screen, the youth's half-closed eyes slowly opened, "Do you think that this is all Shen Hancheng has?"

The lord's voice was still gentle and gentle.

But when he captured the book, he could feel the chilling air flowing in the tranquil air.

However …

Wasn't the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng forced down by them to jump off a cliff because they had nowhere to go?

If not, if he only had this little bit of strength, why would he take the risk and jump down the cliff at the bottom of the abyss? Then, wouldn't he be courting death?!

The muscles and bones of the hand holding the long sword were already clear, holding onto the book did not dare refute Shen Fan's words, but as a subordinate who had done his duty, he said:

"Regardless of the strength of the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng, whether he really is famous or not, jumping off the cliff is already akin to stepping into the gates of hell. If he still wants to return to the Imperial Palace, it's hard to say … At that time, our master had already achieved great success! "

Is that so?

If Shen Hancheng could have died that easily, that would be true. He was simply not an opponent!

"I'm afraid he may not …" Ninth Prince Shen Fan stood up from the bed. He turned the Night Pearl in his hand, and Shen Fan slowly walked towards the closed window.

He pushed open the window and the warm sunlight entered his eyes. Shen Fan's deep eyes slightly narrowed.

"Don't forget what Shen Hancheng told someone to bring to me yesterday. Since he had the intention to say it, I believe he must have a way to escape this calamity …"

That one sentence from Shen Hancheng: When this king returns, I, will no longer have the qualifications to continue hiding in the shadows!

These arrogant words caused his heart to tighten. In just a short moment of time, Shen Hancheng's personal guard had appeared in front of him, openly responding to Shen Hancheng's words...

From the beginning to the end, he had never underestimated Shen Hancheng.

Yesterday, his father-in-law, the Grand Commandant Lin, sent someone to report that, for the sake of Su Jinruo, he actually dared to make a move against the Chenxi Kingdom envoy, to let him take advantage of this opportunity.

The safety of the Chenxi Kingdom Envoys was related to the friendship between the two countries. There was no way Shen Hancheng did not know of their importance!

Although he did not know what grudge Dongling Liusu had with Su Jinruo, but for Su Jinruo to make a move against him, the nature of the matter was definitely not simple!

That means... To the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng, Su Jinruo was more important than the relationship between the two nations.

He had doubts about this.

He sent people to ask the Grand Commandant how he knew that Shen Hancheng was going to attack the Chenxi Kingdom envoys for Su Jinruo.

The answer he got not only failed to dispel the doubts in his heart, but even increased them.

And so …

He had sixty assassins as the price for his probing.

There were two reasons for this.

Firstly, he wanted to test the true strength of Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng.

He had already instructed the assassins he sent out.

If Shen Hancheng's techniques were ruthless and his martial arts were extremely high, when there were only ten or so people, he would have to retreat and not fight with Shen Hancheng anymore.

No matter how many of them were killed or injured, the leader of the killers had to come back and tell him, under the protection of the other killers, how fast Shen Hancheng could kill!

Based on the current situation, the Seventh Prince had a very deep affection for Su Jinruo.

Presumably, when the real danger came, he would definitely protect Su Jinruo behind him.

From the perspective of love, Su Jinruo did not know martial arts and was a weakling.

If Shen Hancheng was truly proficient in martial arts, and if he had thoughts about Su Jinruo, he would definitely give it his all and show him his best.

Then...

When the 59 killers all died in Shen Hancheng's hands, he then knew Shen Hancheng's strength.

Second, was to probe Shen Hancheng; to see if he had guessed his identity …

If the Seventh Prince Shen Hancheng was not in front of Su Jinruo and instantly killed all of the assassins he sent out, there was only two possibilities.

Firstly, he did not like Su Jinruo at all. His actions towards Su Jinruo in the past had all been a pretense for others to see. At that time, he already knew that Shen Hancheng had the intention of putting on an act.

Secondly, Shen Hancheng might have liked Su Jinruo, but he had exposed his identity. Hence, in front of the Grand Commandant, he intentionally exposed himself, just to lure him out …

At that time, he already knew that his identity had already been exposed …

This...

It was also the reason why he chose to kill Shen Hancheng, not because he was an assassin with superior martial arts skills.
