C25 Desperate to take the risk

Shen Lingjue did not agree with her reckless actions. "This king will investigate the culprit and give you an explanation."

"The assassin came for me, it's none of His Highness' business." Feng Ningyan insisted on staying.

She had been ambushed in her previous life, so she didn't have the chance to find the mastermind behind the assassins. Now was her second chance, and she even had an excellent observation position. How could she let this chance slip by?

Shen Lingjue unhappily turned her body around and whispered: "How do you know this is not related to me? If the assassin was only here for you, why didn't he kill you in the past and instead attacked you during the wedding ceremony? "

The memories and logic interweaved in Feng Ningyan's mind and turned into a mess.

"Could it be that the assassin's goal is to stop me from entering the capital and prevent us from getting married?"

Shen Lingjue saw that she understood quickly, and nodded: "This is the most likely possibility."

Feng Ningyan could not help but become even more suspicious.

According to Shen Lingjue's understanding, those who wanted to stop her from entering the capital to get married, might be in a dispute with Shen Lingjue. They did not wish to see him obtain the support of the General's Estate.

It was true that King Cheng had a motive and position to stop the marriage, but in her previous life, when he married Shen Youhuang, she was also ambushed in Taiping Inn. That group of assassins were definitely not sent by Shen Youhuang, he had no reason to kill Feng Ningyan.

In this life, the killer had appeared again, but it was also to disrupt the marriage between Prince Yu's Mansion and the Ningnan.

Regardless of whether Feng Ningyan married Shen Lingjue or not, there would still be people who were unhappy about it, and wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

Who was this person? Feng Ningyan could not possibly still live his whole life in the dark, right?

At this time, he heard the guard leader below report, "Reporting to young miss, there is a dangerous place where the Heavenly Wolf Mountain bandits roam. It is not suitable for us to travel at night, why not stay in this inn for a night and leave tomorrow morning."

Hua Ruoyu who was sitting by the side of the table looked at the crude environment of the inn and frowned.

"You are all soldiers who have received strict training, is there a need to be afraid of a few mere thieves? I want you to travel through the night because I'm afraid of missing the auspicious hour, causing you to lose your heads. Why, do you think it's hard for us women to not cry out 'suffering'? "

The captain had nothing else to say, so he could only instruct the waiter to feed the horses, prepare some food, and continue on his way.

Hua Ruoyu lifted her veil and took the tea offered by Lan Zhu. She took a sip and suddenly poured the tea onto Lan Zhu's hand.

"A lowly slave with no discernment!" The tea is so cold, how can I drink it! "

Lan Zhu was used to being shouted at, hence she lowered her head in grievance. She lightly shook the tea leaves on her body and nodded: "Yes, this servant will go to change now."

Feng Ningyan stood behind the door and watched Hua Ruoyu's actions, feeling sorry for her, and then became angry.

No wonder the wedding procession could reach the Taiping Inn so quickly. It turned out that Hua Ruoyu was in a hurry to enter the capital, which was why she had been rushing the entire way.

Feng Ningyan sneered.

In order to marry Shen Lingjue, this woman had always taken the risk and gone all out. Did she really think that Feng Ningyan would marry her just because she escaped the marriage?

However, even if Feng Ningyan and Hua Ruoyu were mortal enemies, she did not wish for the killer to succeed.

"The news that His Highness has received, where would the assassins attack?"

Shen Lingjue said indifferently, "I don't know. If it was me, I would choose this inn. Three sides encircled the mountain. There was only one way out, and that was to kill them all, leaving no one alive. "

Feng Ningyan looked at Shen Lingjue in shock, she did not expect his guess to be so accurate.

"This... "It really fits the assassin's line of thought..."

Shen Lingjue laughed, and took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve. She folded it and covered Feng Ningyan's face.

"It's very likely that the assassin is already lying in ambush nearby. If you want to stay, this king will accompany you. However, the killers are after you. Do not expose your identity and start a fire on yourself. "
