Shi Jinchen searched the forest for half the night, but to no avail, the piece of cloth in his hand was the only thing that caused him to tense up, he did not dare miss a single trace, he did not believe that the carriage would suddenly disappear, if not, further into the abyss, there was no way to find it.

Just as he was about to lose his mind and his mind was in a mess, no one expected to appear in front of him. He jumped down from his horse with alert and looked coldly at the man standing on the branch.

The guards behind him also noticed the abnormality, but since the prince did not give his order, they naturally could not act rashly. For a moment, everyone was on alert, afraid that the black-clothed person would do something that would offend their Fourth Prince.

"It's you." If he remembered correctly, this man was the mysterious black-clothed man he met in the estate last time. He was actually still alive? He didn't think that since he didn't go looking for him, he would instead come knocking on his door. If it wasn't for him, how could he have lost consciousness?

However, the man seemed to not have heard anything, and the sounds of flutes gradually rang out in the forest. Flute music? Other than broken sword cliff as the left protector, there was no other person in this world who could use Xiao Xiao as a killing weapon.

"You're not talking. Are you afraid?" Shi Jinchen scoffed, "If you have the ability to put on a show, then you don't have the ability to compete with this king. The left protector of broken sword cliff is only mediocre."

Of course, he wouldn't forget the time he was heavily injured by this man in the Fourth Prince Palace. If it wasn't for him, he would have long ago brought Yue Hua away, and he wouldn't have owed the crown prince a favor. If it wasn't for the obstruction of the Fourth Prince, Yue Hua would have already recovered her memories long ago.

That's right, it's all because of this man. The Jian Qiuying's surroundings were overflowing with killing intent, and it was as if everyone was looking at a group of corpses. He had not had any intention to kill for a long time, so he made an exception today for this Fourth Prince.

"Be careful, Your Highness!" The guards immediately stepped forward to surround the Shi Jinchen, only to see the Jian Qiuying gently leaping from the tree branch, following that, a cold light flashed in the forest, the sounds of weapons clashing could be heard incessantly, the Shi Jinchen long whip wielded out, welcoming the incoming attack.

"What a handsome Qing Gong!" This flute actually hid such a sharp weapon, and it almost fell into his trap. It seemed that the last time it could heavily injure him was due to luck, but now, it seemed that his martial arts were not any weaker than his and he had underestimated it.

As the two fought, the guards at the side realized that they could not interfere at all, and their own master was slowly falling into a disadvantageous position, each and every one of them was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Just as they were about to forcibly enter the battle, the Jian Qiuying suddenly disappeared in front of Shi Jinchen, and everyone was at a loss, while a slip of paper slowly floated down from the branch where he had disappeared.

Shi Jinchen strode forward quickly, and on top of it, two large, vigorous blood-red words were written, "Zhao Wen." Shi Jinchen was shocked, of course he knew who this Zhao Wen was, he had been supporting him since the day he was established in the imperial court, and was equivalent to him being the right-hand man in the imperial court. This person was extremely loyal to him, and now his name was written on a piece of paper in bright red letters, telling him that they were going to attack Zhao Wen, and this broken sword cliff was going to declare war on him in broad daylight!

Shi Jinchen was shocked and angry at the same time, but under the moonlight, a row of small words shining at the bottom of the slip of paper attracted his attention.

"If you want to save Xiao Sui, wait here tomorrow at noon."

The few words seemed to only appear under the moonlight. The moonlight was currently obscured by the dark clouds. The small words disappeared in an instant.

Shi Jinchen and Zhao Wen, what should he choose?

Returning to the cliff once again, the color of fish's belly had already turned white. Jian Qiuying s tightly pursed their lips as they walked into the palace, his face still as expressionless as before.

"You're back. How was the matter?" His Ke Zheng was obviously in a good mood, and he was already impatient to see the shattered expression of despair on his face again.

"All is well." Jian Qiuying lowered his head, reporting the situation as usual.

Ke Zheng seemed to be used to this Left Protector's reticence, and laughed without a care, "Left Protector, saying a few more words wouldn't take your life."

After the Shi Jinchen receives the news, between Yue Hua and the official, they will definitely choose the latter. Only Yue Hua is still naive enough to think that the Fourth Prince will really come …

Jian Qiuying quietly clenched his fists, "This subordinate will take his leave."

"Hur Hur Hur, you may leave." Apparently, the Ke Zheng behind the screen did not notice his abnormality.

Walking out of the great hall, Jian Qiuying finally heaved a long sigh of relief. In the bottomless darkness of the palace, it was as if an invisible shackle was strangling his throat, suffocating him.

Jian Qiuying raised his head to look towards the west at sunrise. The bright red clouds dyed the sky red, looking extremely similar to that person's fiery red clothes.

For the first time in his life, just for the sake of the moonlight, he had disobeyed his lord's order.

No, Jian Qiuying shook his head, he did not betray, Yue Hua was the most important person to him, and the reason he was able to live was all because of her. In his world, there was no broken sword cliff, no Ke Zheng, only Ke Yuehua.

For Yue Hua, he had secretly changed the secret letter that Ke Zheng had handed to him before handing it over to Shi Jinchen. Doing so was obviously not what Ke Zheng wished to see, and was entirely his own decision.

This was a hellish place that ate people without spitting out their bones. Many boys and girls had lost their souls after entering this place, and from then on, they were machines that only knew how to kill people. Other than following orders and following orders, their lives had become dark and gloomy.

Here, he personally witnessed the innocence of moonlight being swallowed up by blood, and his smiling face being ruthlessly buried. The moon was buried here, but she was reborn in flames.

But now, even though Yue Hua had lost her memories, she had returned to her purest self. This was what she wanted to see the most, not the originally cold-blooded and ruthless female assassin, but the current carefree Xiao Sui. She would cry, laugh, become angry because of the decisions of the people around her, and also become angry because of the actions of the people around her.

In this nightmarish hell, he was the lotus in the mud, and the moonlight was the untainted Lotus, all for her sake.

Therefore, even if this Fourth Prince dared to speak out and provoke Jian Qiuying, he could still suppress his killing intent and not kill him. He wanted to see how much this Fourth Prince could accomplish for the moon and not let himself be disappointed.

A bloodthirsty killing intent flashed past the ice-cold eyes of the Jian Qiuying. If Shi Jinchen was unable to accomplish it, then he didn't mind having another wisp of death soul under his hands.
