Chapter 156 The Last Night

In the courtyard, in the room.

Wang Qin was in high spirits, and was imagining how he should behave when he met the princess again in Beijing after this incident was over?

I heard that the princess had no desires and was only obsessed with martial arts. Should the princess be more interested in martial arts?

Thinking of this, Wang Qin wondered if he should learn a few moves so that he could show off his skills in front of the princess in the future?

While he was still imagining and thinking, Wang Qin suddenly felt a flash of cold light in front of his eyes.

The next second, he felt cold all over, and a chilling murderous aura suddenly hit him. He trembled all over, and his hair stood up.

"Young Master, be careful!"

The confidant's frightened voice came from his ears, but it was too late to stop him. As soon as the confidant approached, a powerful force shook him away.

"Bang!"

He fell to the ground and fainted.

Wang Qin was cold all over, and when he came to his senses, he felt a cold chill on his neck.

Looking down, a long sword was pressed against his neck.

His life was at stake!

Wang Qin's pupils shrank suddenly, his face showed fear, and he turned his head to see a red dress in the room.

The red dress was as red as blood, and it was so cold and beautiful that people wanted to worship it.

Just the breath made Wang Qin uneasy.

"You, who are you?!"

Wang Qin didn't dare to move, his voice was hoarse, and he was shocked and panicked.

He, are the guards of his prefectural mansion just eating dry food?

Why could someone break into his room quietly?

Who is this woman in red? !

Wang Qin was shocked and angry. He could feel the undisguised murderous intent of the woman in red in front of him, and she was clearly extremely angry.

She, she wanted to kill herself? !

Wang Qin said in a horrified voice: "Lady, lady... what's wrong with you?"

Behind Wang Qin, Liu Su stared at this person expressionlessly, her voice was cold, and it seemed to be trembling: "Prince Lin, how did he die?!"

Prince Lin?

This, this woman came for Prince Lin?

Come to avenge Prince Lin? !

Wang Qin felt cold in his heart, and his whole body was cold: "I, I don't know..."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed that the sword on his neck was closer, almost cutting his throat.

Wang Qin was scared to death: "Lady, spare me..."

"If you don't tell the truth, it's your death!"

A cold tone came.

Wang Qin was so scared that he almost collapsed to the ground, and immediately panicked: "I, I really don't know. I, I just heard...he, he had an accident outside the city, and I heard that there was an explosion and collapse in the back mountain, burying him...this, this really has nothing to do with me..."

Wang Qin spoke tremblingly, and he didn't dare to deny it anymore. But Wang Qin was not a fool after all. He absolutely could not admit that the death of Prince Lin had anything to do with him at this time.

Once he admitted it, even if he survived by chance, he would have left a handle, and the people of the Lin family would definitely not let him go.

Therefore, Wang Qin gritted his teeth and told the story, but removed himself from it.

When he finished speaking, he could clearly feel the killing intent behind him becoming stronger and stronger, as if the long sword on his neck would take his life easily in the next second.

Wang Qin was tense all over, and it was not until a long time later that a low, trembling cold voice came: "Back Mountain, where is it?!"

"..."

Outside Xunyang City.

Private residence.

Inside and outside the private residence, there was a dead air. The strong aura of killing enveloped this world, and the bloody breath that had not yet completely subsided added a bit of coldness to this place.

These days, various forces inside and outside Xunyang City have gathered here, wanting to find out what is going on. But no matter how many masters approached, they were forced back by the large group of black-armored figures outside the private residence.

Soldiers in black armor lined up outside, like elites fighting out of the battlefield, with a bloody and murderous aura that was enough to drive away the villains.

Just outside this private house, a red-dressed person appeared silently. She looked up at the front with an expressionless face and slowly approached.

"Who is it?!"

The figure of the woman in red was too conspicuous, and she was discovered at the first time. A black-armored figure blocked her.

Liu Su slowly raised her eyes and glanced at the black-armored figure in front of her, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Where is the Prince of Lin?"

Hearing the red-dressed person in front of her mention His Highness, Hei Jia stared at her suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Liu Su was silent: "Old friend."

Hei Jia frowned, His Highness's old friend?

"Do you have any proof?"

Liu Su did not answer, looked up at the private house behind them, and took a light step.

A strong wind blew around, and her figure disappeared from the spot strangely.

"Stop her!"

The pupils of the black-armored figure shrank suddenly. Is there anyone who dares to break in?

The next second, several figures appeared behind him, coming from all directions to stop the woman in red.

However, Liu Su only took a light step, and the figure quickly broke out of the encirclement and stepped into the private house.

The pupils of the others shrank.

"Master!"

"This person is very skilled in martial arts, a dangerous person!"

"Quickly intercept!"

Liu Su broke into the private house as if she was in an empty space, and ran straight to the back mountain not far away. However, before she reached the foot of the mountain, she was suddenly blocked by a sharp sword energy.

"Who is it? Dare to break in here, you are looking for death!"

The sharp sword energy was directly facing Liu Su's face. Liu Su stopped and waved his sleeves suddenly. The attacking sword energy was instantly dissolved and disappeared.

Looking up, a clear shadow appeared in the front sight.

"It's you?!"

Lin Qingqing was holding a long sword. When she saw the figure in red, she was startled.

She originally thought that a powerful enemy had broken in, but when she saw the opponent's appearance clearly, Lin was stunned again.

"Why are you here?!"

Lin Qingqing naturally recognized Liu Su. Although Liu Su had changed her clothes and her temperament had changed greatly, Lin Qingqing still recognized her identity at a glance.

Isn't she the maid who often appeared next to His Royal Highness a few months ago?

What is it called willow leaf?

Lin Qingqing had an impression of her because she often appeared next to His Highness, and it was rumored that she often visited His Highness's palace and was His Highness's most trusted maid.

However, Lin Qingqing also quickly remembered Sister Zhiyuan's previous warning that this maid named Liu Ye had an unusual identity, so be careful.

Not long after that, the maid named Liu Ye disappeared without a trace. Now I see Liu Su. She is dressed in a long red dress and looks stunningly elegant. Her whole body is wrapped in coldness. It is difficult to compare to the harmless and peaceful person she once was. Contact the maid.

Lin Qingqing's eyes narrowed. No wonder Sister Zhiyuan said that her identity was very unusual.

How could a master with such high martial arts skills and an aura even better than hers be a little maid beside His Royal Highness the Prince of Prince Lin?

Liu Su looked at Lin Qingqing who appeared in front of her, and her heart sank even more. There was a bit of anxiety in her cold eyes: "Where is Lin Jiangnian?"

"Is he still alive?"

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing's heart sank and she did not speak. But the sadness in his eyes was not hidden at all.

Seeing this scene, Liu Su's heart sank instantly and she hit the bottom.

"Here, what's going on?"

"He's dead?!"

Liu Su's voice was low and angry, with a hint of indescribable grief and indignation.

It was an emotion that even she herself didn't understand.

The other party was His Highness's former personal maid. Now she came in a hurry and looked so anxious. Lin Qingqing was silent for a moment and told the whole story.

"His Royal Highness discovered the secret of the Wang family in the secret room in the back mountain... In order to cover up the secret, the Wang family caused the explosion and collapse of the secret room in the back mountain, and buried His Highness under the secret room..."

"Your Highness, his life and death are still unknown..."

"..."

After confirming this from Lin Qingqing's mouth, Liu Su staggered and could barely stand still.

The expression on his face finally turned to panic.

If we say that before, all the rumors were learned from the people of Xunyang City and Wang Qin. But now that this was confirmed from Lin Qingqing's mouth, the last trace of luck in her heart completely disappeared.

"He's dead?!"

At this moment, Liu Su only felt her head buzzing and going blank. An uncontrollable sadness suddenly surged into my heart.

She raised her eyes and looked behind Lin Qingqing. At the foot of the mountain in the distance, there were several figures busy... They were digging the mountain, trying to dig out the guy.

But, is he still alive?

The secret room in the back mountain collapsed. Can he survive?

Let alone him, even if a first-level master comes, he may not be able to survive.

And he...

No one knows the details of Lin Jiangnian better than Liu Su. Naturally, no one knows better than him whether Lin Jiangnian can survive...

Thinking of this, the dullness in my chest and the unspeakable uncomfortable emotions surged into my heart.

Vaguely, the vision was a little blurry.

Liu Su slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her cold eyes were filled with cold murderous intent!

Burning!

She turned around expressionlessly and left without looking back.

Lin Qingqing stood there, looking at Liu Su's leaving figure with a complicated expression.

Doesn’t she seem to treat His Highness differently?

But at this time, Lin Qingqing was not in the mood to think about this. His Highness and Sister Zhiyuan encountered an accident. Although I have not seen their bodies with my own eyes, but...

Can you survive?

Lin Qingqing had no idea.

Or rather, she actually already had the answer in her heart.

Thinking of this, a feeling of sadness and grief surged into her heart. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

No, she can't fall down now.

Now that something happened between His Highness and Sister Zhiyuan, she was left alone to support herself. If she falls down too, it's over!

She must cheer up, even if there is only the last glimmer of hope, she cannot give up.

And the Wang family...

This grudge has not yet been settled with the Wang family!

Lin Qingqing gritted her teeth, her eyes cold. Take a deep breath and try to calm down.

Turning around, just at this moment, a figure hurriedly appeared in the yard.

"Commander Lin, we caught a sneaky villager outside a private house."

"Village?" Lin Qingqing frowned: "What's the origin?"

"I've already been interrogated. He's just an ordinary villager. However, he said he was here to deliver a letter..."

As he said that, his subordinate handed over a letter: "I said I can only let you come and see it!"

"I?"

Lin Qingqing took it, opened the letter with a frown, and looked down for a few times.

After just one glance, Lin Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief, and the next second, a look of surprise emerged.

"What, what's wrong?"

The subordinate saw Lin Qingqing's reaction and asked subconsciously.

"temple……"

Lin Qingqing was about to speak when she suddenly thought of something and shut up.

She raised her head with a look of ecstasy on her face. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down.

Then, he put away the letter in his hand and said in a low voice: "Pass my order to gather everyone."

The subordinates were stunned: "Commander Lin, we don't, we don't dig..."

"No more digging!"

Lin Qingqing sounded excited and clenched her fists.

His Highness is not dead, so why dig?

…

In the small mountain village, night gradually falls.

After working for a day, the people in the small mountain village returned home one after another. After a while, the smell of food began to drift from each house.

In the courtyard, in the room.

The dim oil lamp swayed on the table, slightly illuminating the room. Beside the bed, Lin Jiangqing gently applied the ointment on Zhiyuan's back.

The delicate and smooth skin is particularly beautiful under the dim candlelight.

On the bed, Zhiyuan was still lying on the bed as before, with his upper body naked and his head buried under the quilt, motionless.

It has to be said that this day's ointment is indeed a rare ointment. In just a few days, Zhiyuan's back injury has improved greatly.

The wound has scabbed over, and the injury has stabilized, and it's nothing serious.

After the ointment was applied, he bandaged the wound with ease.

"Your injury is almost healed. After applying the medicine this time, you can use the real Tianxiang ointment next time when you go back. It can help you get rid of the scars and restore your condition as before."

Lin Jiangnian spoke with a slightly regretful tone.

This is the last application.

I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future!

For some reason, Lin Jiangnian even felt a little pity.

Maybe it was the first experience, the first time he was born, the second time he was familiar with it. Apart from being shy the first time, Kite was quite cooperative with the subsequent dressing changes.

He took off his clothes, lay down on the bed, and then remained motionless, letting Lin Jiangnian do whatever he wanted.

Lin Jiangnian was very familiar with changing the dressing, applying medicine, bandaging, and left the room after doing this. Zhiyuan was dressing alone in the room. When the two met again, they never mentioned what happened before.

It's like eating everything and being irresponsible, everyone maintains a strange tacit understanding.

Tonight, too.

When Lin Jiangnian returned to the room, Zhiyuan had already put on his clothes and was sitting at the table, looking as usual.

Except for a hint of crimson that has not completely faded, there is no other color on the cold face.

Lin Jiangnian stepped forward and sat down.

"When will we go back?"

After a long silence, Zhiyuan spoke.

"What do you think?"

Lin Jiangnian asked back.

Zhiyuan paused for a moment: "My injury is almost healed."

Her injuries weren't completely healed, but they weren't too serious. She had been delayed in this small mountain village for a while, and she had to rush back as soon as possible. There are still many things waiting for her in Xunyang City.

Lin Jiangnian understood what she meant: "Then, go back tomorrow?"

Zhiyuan was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

Lin Jiangnian stared at her for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "From your tone, do you think you can't wait to leave here?"

"What? Don't you want to stay with me?"

Zhiyuan was startled, said nothing, and lowered his eyes slightly. The oil lamp on the table shone on the side of her face, vaguely revealing an alluring and beautiful face.

"without……"

Zhiyuan looked away, her tone soft and a little strange.

"No."

"..."
