Chapter 134 Jealous Liu Su
On the streets.
The lights are bright and the stars are intertwined.
On the bustling streets of Xunyang City, people are coming and going, businessmen and pedestrians passing by, mixed with the sounds of children laughing and playing, and the endless cries of vendors.
Lin Jiangnian was strolling on the street with a leisurely expression.
The weather in autumn is a bit colder, but it still cannot stop the enthusiasm of the people.
Xiaozhu followed His Highness step by step and wrapped himself in clothes to keep warm. A fair little face was flushed by the cold wind, which was really cute.
She looked around curiously, looking at the various people and the fun and novel gadgets, her eyes full of agility.
Lin Qingqing was still following His Highness meticulously, with an expressionless face, but she was always looking around, observing any disturbance.
When Your Highness goes out, safety is the most important thing!
Among the people coming and going on the street, there are also many soldiers of the Crown Prince in civilian clothes hiding, secretly protecting them.
"Doesn't this Xunyang City look no different from Linjiang City?"
Xunyang City is the most prosperous area in Yanzhou, but it is still far behind Linzhou Linjiang City. Walking on the streets of Xunyang City, you have the illusion of dreaming back to Linjiang City.
"I wonder if the girls in this brothel in Xunyang City are more beautiful than those in Linjiang City?"
Lin Jiangnian was a little curious about this.
When Xiaozhu heard this, he suddenly became a little nervous: "Your Highness, your Highness, are you going to a brothel?"
"What's wrong?"
Xiaozhu lowered his head, his little face bulged slightly, and after a while he whispered: "Sister Zhiyuan said that brothels are not a good place..."
"Your Highness should go less often!"
Lin Jiangnian was a little surprised: "Zhiyuan has told you about this?"
"Um."
"Then didn't she tell you that this prince is now at a good age to go to a brothel?"
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "I am too young to go to a brothel, so why should I go to a brothel?"
Xiaozhu was speechless and didn't know what to say to refute for a moment. I just instinctively felt that something was wrong, but I didn’t know how to speak. I puffed my face like a doormat.
"Okay, just teasing you."
Seeing that the little maid seemed to take her seriously, Lin Jiang young laughed, reached out and pinched her tender and delicate face: "My prince is an upright person, how can he be such a vulgar person? My prince is not interested in that kind of romantic place at all. ”
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Xiaozhu's eyes lit up, but he quickly thought of something: "But Your Highness, you used to..."
"That was before!"
Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, hugged the little maid to his side, and vowed: "My son is now sworn in with drug gambling!"
The little maid's face looked blank, as if she didn't understand the connection between drug gambling and going to a brothel.
But before her little brain had time to think, she suddenly realized that she was being hugged by His Highness in public, and her face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
On the way to the capital, His Highness's occasional behavior was extremely excessive. Many people even knew about His Highness's relationship with her, but... they had never been so straightforward, right?
In the large court, the little maid blushed, nervous and shy, and felt at a loss.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please don't..."
"..."
Teahouse.
Fourth floor, window seat.
Liu Su's eyes fell casually on the street, and when she saw that familiar figure, she froze in place.
For a moment, I wondered if I had seen it wrong!
After checking several times, she finally realized that she had not made a mistake.
Among the people on the street, that familiar figure, that familiar face... who else could it be if it wasn't Lin Jiangnian? !
The world is so small!
It was as if the expectation that had been rising in Liu Su's heart had finally come to fruition. She felt an indescribable sense of relief, and her eyes lit up.
This guy really came to Xunyang City!
But before Liu Su could feel the inexplicable joy in her heart for too long, she quickly noticed that there were two women beside Lin Jiangnian!
She is no stranger.
The woman who followed Lin Jiangnian respectfully, her body tensed and ready for battle, was called Lin Qingqing. She was a member of Prince Lin's personal army and was under Zhiyuan's command. Liu Su had met her several times.
As for another woman who is closer to Lin Jiangnian and has a close relationship...
Xiaozhu!
Prince Lin's personal maid.
Is she here too?
This guy even brought his maid with him?
However, except for the maid, it seems that there is no other woman around this guy?
Thinking of this, Liu Su felt relieved for some reason and was in a pretty good mood. But this situation did not last long, and Liu Su suddenly saw Lin Jiangnian reaching out to hug the little maid beside him into his arms. The little maid lowered her head, with a blush on her face, wanting to refuse but return the welcome.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Liu Su's face gradually solidified.
"Saint, saint?"
Ling'er, who was following Liu Su, was the first to notice something was wrong with Liu Su!
Why did the saint's breath suddenly become a little cold?
The great elder also noticed Liu Su's changes and subconsciously followed her gaze. Soon, I spotted a familiar figure on the street.
"Lin Jiangnian?!"
The Great Elder's pupils shrank suddenly, "He is really in Xunyang City?!"
In his sight, he saw that familiar face.
The elder's heart immediately became hot. He raised his eyes to look at Liu Su, only to see Liu Su staring downstairs with something a little wrong.
His eyes seemed a little...angry?
This completely dispelled the suspicion of the Saint Girl that she had about the Prince of Lin.
The Saint Girl's reaction did not seem like she was attracted to the Prince of Lin, but rather more like... a grudge?
The Great Elder immediately said, "This is a golden opportunity to get rid of him!"
Liu Su did not speak, her eyes still staring at the two people hugging each other on the street downstairs, until they separated, she gradually came to her senses.
But even so, she could still see the anger and coldness in her eyes. Seeing the two people hugging each other downstairs, she felt very uncomfortable.
What happened between this guy and Xiao Zhu during her absence?
Why did the relationship between the master and servant look so close?
Did he attack Xiao Zhu? !
Thinking of this, Liu Su felt inexplicably irritated. She took a deep breath and finally suppressed it a little.
She glanced at the elder and said expressionlessly: "Do you think we can assassinate him now?"
The elder's eyes condensed: "What do you mean, Saint?"
"This Prince Lin may not be smart, but Lin Hengzhong is definitely not stupid. He sent Lin Jiangnian to Beijing to marry the princess this time. Is it really that simple?"
Liu Su glanced at him: "Do you think there will be masters secretly protecting Prince Lin? How difficult will it be for you and me to assassinate him?"
The elder stared at her: "Saint, are you afraid?"
"Afraid?"
Liu Su said lightly: "I just want to advise the elder to act cautiously. As for whether the elder listens or not, it has nothing to do with me. But..."
"I still want to remind the elder that there are many people who want Prince Lin to die in the world today, but since Lin Jiangnian went north, I haven't heard of any forces taking action..."
"What do you think is the reason?"
The elder was stunned and thought about it, and his face gradually became solemn.
…
On the other side.
Lin Jiangnian took Xiaozhu and Lin Qingqing to stroll around the streets to see the prosperous night scene of Xunyang City. When they were tired, they found a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea to rest.
“It seems that Xunyang City has not been peaceful recently.”
While wandering around the streets, Lin Jiangnian could see that the atmosphere on the street was still somewhat tense, and from time to time he could see city defense soldiers shuttling through the crowd.
“The disappearance of the son of the governor really caused a thousand waves!”
Lin Jiangnian sighed.
Lin Qingqing on the side was silent for a moment and said, “Wang Shiquan treasures this only son very much. If he has any accident, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
She hesitated: “Your Highness, do we really want to get involved?”
“Get involved?”
Lin Jiangnian shook his head gently: “Of course not, we are just watching the show!”
“As for other grievances, we will not participate.”
Lin Qingqing hesitated and looked a little worried.
Can we really not get involved?
His Highness is here now, even if he doesn't want to, he will inevitably be forced to get involved. What makes Lin Qingqing extremely puzzled is why His Highness must wade into this muddy water?
Lin Jiangnian smiled without saying anything, and didn't explain too much. This time, apart from Li Qianlin's assassination plan that was ruined before he could even start, there were almost no obstacles on the journey to Beijing.
It's much easier than expected!
But the more so, the more uneasy Lin Jiangnian becomes!
Logically speaking, there is not much resistance for him to enter Beijing this time, and many people don't want him to enter Beijing safely.
But why is it always peaceful along the way?
"Let's go, it's almost time to go back!"
After drinking two pots of tea and resting for a while, seeing that it was already late at night, Lin Jiangnian got up and prepared to take Xiaozhu and Lin Qingqing away.
When he just got up, he suddenly saw several figures coming down from the attic.
The leader was a black-robed figure, shrouded in black robes, and his appearance was unclear. Lin Jiangnian subconsciously glanced at him, and the black-robed man's eyes just fell on Lin Jiangnian, and their eyes briefly exchanged.
Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly.
This black-robed man is not an ordinary person!
However, the eye exchange was only for a moment, and the black-robed man retracted his gaze and left with the two people around him.
When passing by Lin Jiangnian, he did not stop at all. Lin Jiangnian took another look, and then turned back to look at Lin Qingqing, and saw that her eyes were also solemn.
Obviously, she also saw something.
"This person is quite powerful?"
Lin Qingqing nodded slightly, her expression solemn: "The aura is very strong, and his martial arts are at least better than my subordinates."
"I didn't expect that there are also crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Xunyang City!"
Lin Jiangnian laughed and was about to leave. The next second, as if something flashed, his mind suddenly appeared the outfits of the three black-robed people that he saw at a glance just now.
The costumes are not surprising, as there are many people in the martial arts world who wear strange clothes, but the clothes worn by the three black robes just now...
Is it the pattern embroidered on the three people, which looks familiar?
Lin Jiangnian has a very good memory, and he remembered the strange pattern on the clothes of the three people at a glance, which is very familiar!
In an instant, Lin Jiangnian quickly recalled the people around Liu Su that he had seen in the dilapidated temple in the middle of the night when it rained heavily...The strange and weird patterns on their bodies seemed to be exactly the same as those of the three people just now?
In an instant, Lin Jiangnian's eyes condensed.
Tian Shen Cult? !
The three people just now were from Tian Shen Cult? !
That strange pattern is the exclusive symbol of their sect?
"Qing Qing!"
Lin Jiangnian suddenly said: "Catch up with those three people just now and find out their origins!"
Lin Qingqing was startled, wondering why His Highness suddenly changed his tone and why he suddenly wanted to investigate those three people?
"Your Highness, do they have a problem?"
Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly.
Lin Qingqing immediately looked serious and said: "Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately!"
With that said, Lin Qingqing stood up and left in a hurry.
"Your Highness..."
Xiaozhu on the side tugged at the corner of Lin Jiangnian's clothes: "Fa, what happened?"
"fine."
Lin Jiang young shook his head lightly, but his eyes gradually became serious.
Unexpectedly, I would see people from the Tianshen Sect in Xunyang City. Judging from the aura of the man in black robe just now, I am afraid that this person has a high status in the Tianshen Sect.
For a moment, Lin Jiangnian was in a daze.
It has been a long time since Liu Su left last time. During this period of time traveling north, Lin Jiangnian also sent people to inquire about the Tianshen Sect and her, but to no avail.
The world is so big, looking for someone aimlessly is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's more, Lin Jiangnian wasn't sure whether that woman would avoid him!
Meeting people from the Tianshen Sect in Xunyang City now means that the Tianshen Sect probably has plans to take action in Xunyang City. Perhaps we can find clues to the Celestial Sect from the man in black robe, or follow the clues to find Liu Su?
I haven’t seen her for so long, and I don’t know where she is now?
Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian was a little excited. After casually glancing around the teahouse, he took Xiaozhu away.
Not long after Lin Jiangnian left, Liu Su, dressed in red, appeared in the teahouse, looking downstairs blankly.
"Saint?"
Ling'er followed Liu Su, glanced at Lin Jiangnian's leaving back, and said with emotion: "Is he the fake prince?"
That night in the ruined temple, she was the one who caught Lin Jiangnian, the fake prince, with her own hands. She is also the only one left who knows Lin Jiangnian’s fake identity!
"I didn't expect that he actually confused the truth with the lie!"
Ling'er's voice was a little emotional: "The Great Elder must not know about this matter. Saint, if you want the life of Prince Lin to be easy..."
Liu Su remained calm and silent.
After a while, she said: "Ling'er."
"Huh? What's wrong, Saint?"
"You go back first, I have some things to do."
Ling'er blinked and was about to ask the saint what she was going to do, but she saw that Liu Su had quietly left, leaving only a beautiful back.
She blinked blankly.
"Holy girl, where are you going this late at night?"
"..."
Prefect's Mansion, small courtyard.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Lin Jiangnian returned to the room.
At this time, Lin Qingqing also hurriedly arrived.
"Your Highness."
"How's it going?"
Lin Qingqing lowered her head and said: "Following His Highness's instructions, I secretly followed the three people and determined the inn where the three people were staying. However, the three people were extremely vigilant, and I did not dare to approach them easily. I just let people keep an eye on them secretly and come back." Report to subordinates..."
Lin Jiangnian nodded: "You have done a good job. This matter is not urgent. Don't alert others, and investigate slowly to see who they have been in contact with and what their purpose is..."
"yes!"
Lin Qingqing nodded, but hesitated: "Your Highness, where are those three people from, and why are you suddenly staring at them?"
"The Celestial Cult."
Lin Jiang young uttered a few words.
Lin Qingqing was startled and understood instantly.
"My subordinate understands!"
"It's getting late, let's take a rest early." Lin Jiang young waved his hand.
Lin Qingqing lowered her head: "Then my subordinate resigns!"
Lin Qingqing bowed her head and exited the room.
Lin Jiangnian stood up and walked to the carpet beside him, crossed his legs and started practicing.
This is his unshakable plan every day!
Along the way north, Lin Jiangnian did not waste his martial arts skills.
With the movement of Xuanyang's mind, Lin Jiangnian's energy and blood surged again and he entered a mysterious state.
After waiting for a long time, Lin Jiangnian finished his work, his breathing became calm and his mind became clear.
Feeling the blood surge throughout his body, he took a deep breath, raised his eyes and scanned the room, only to see that the room was empty.
Where is Xiaozhu?
Only then did Lin Jiangnian remember that Xiaozhu's room was arranged next to his, and Xiaozhu would not disturb him during his daily practice.
At this time, after practicing the exercises, Lin Jiangnian was full of energy and blood. It was at the peak of his strength. He stood up and pushed the door open and came to the door of the next room.
"Xiaozhu?"
"Your Highness?"
Xiaozhu's cheerful voice came from the room, and soon the door opened, and Xiaozhu's pretty figure appeared at the door.
Not long after taking a bath, the little maid's skin was as delicate as snow and as white as jade. Under the wet hair, there is a delicate and childish face, like a young girl's first growth, blinking her eyes.
"Your Highness, you...ah..."
When the little maid was about to speak, she saw His Highness suddenly stepping in, then picked her up by the waist and strode towards the room.
"Xiao Zhu, it's getting late, it's time to rest!"
Lin Jiangnian's voice was low, with a somewhat malicious smile.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The little maid didn't realize what was going on, and her voice was nervous and extremely shy: "No, no, Your Highness hasn't turned it off yet... Wu..."
In the dead of night, the small courtyard was quiet.
A figure stood in the dark and silent courtyard, staring at the room not far away.
That cold and beautiful face was full of chill.
The temperature in the entire courtyard seemed to drop sharply.
…
