Chapter 386 Who Was Sentenced to Death?

Lin Jiangnian was still a little confused when he returned to Jiang Mansion.

Tonight was New Year's Eve, and according to his original plan, he was going to stay with Liu Su.

Although Liu Su said no, this woman's other advantages aside, she was really stubborn. She said no, and Lin Jiangnian couldn't really not give it to her.

When he went to find her before, she looked cold on the surface, as if she was reluctant and didn't want to see Lin Jiangnian. But she said no, but her behavior completely betrayed her.

If she really didn't want to see Lin Jiangnian and didn't want him to come, with her temper, I'm afraid Lin Jiangnian would be driven out as soon as he arrived.

She didn't even say a word to him.

For this woman who likes to pretend to be reserved and stubborn, Lin Jiangnian is a little helpless and a little distressed.

On the occasion of the New Year, other families are reunited and lively, but she has no home!

Her parents died at a young age, and the Tianshen Sect that raised her was more like a dragon's den and a tiger's lair for her.

Zhiyuan's life experience seems to be similar to hers, but their situations are worlds apart. Zhiyuan has her aunt, her uncle and aunt from the Jiang Mansion, and Lin Jiangnian who has been with her these two days.

On the other hand, what about Liu Su?

If Liu Su is willing to go to the Jiang Mansion for the New Year, it would be a good idea.

Jiang's father and mother need not say much, and Jiang Yuxiang has always wanted to see her. Even during the day, he privately found Lin Jiangnian and asked if Liu Su was willing to come.

But Lin Jiangnian knows her too well, and with Liu Su's personality, she will definitely not be willing to come.

The reason is self-evident!

Because of this, Lin Jiangnian came here tonight to accompany this woman who likes to be tough!

However, with Lin Jiangnian's efforts, the "barrier" between the two gradually disappeared, and they got along better and better. Maybe tonight there might be a chance to try the first time of the New Year...

Liu Su suddenly changed her face and drove him away!

Ruthless and unreasonable.

Although Lin Jiangnian didn't know what was going on, he could still see her nervousness and haste from Liu Su's face.

Something's wrong!

...

After being driven out, Lin Jiangnian didn't insist and returned to Jiang's house first.

It was late at night, the streets and alleys around were dark, and the rain was getting heavier. Only the guards and servants who were on night watch were left outside the Jiang's house.

"Your Highness, you're back?!"

The servants outside the door hurried forward and welcomed Lin Jiangnian back to Jiang's house.

Lin Jiangnian didn't go back to his own courtyard, but went directly to the next door.

The courtyard was dark, Xiaozhu had already gone to bed, but there was still a faint light in the room of the main house not far away.

Zhiyuan hasn't slept yet?

Lin Jiangnian was about to step over, and suddenly there was a burst of hurried footsteps behind him.

"Your Highness!"

Lin Qingqing's voice came from behind.

She was wearing a black tights, and her whole body was soaked by the heavy rain, looking a little embarrassed. Her expression was extremely solemn: "Your Highness, there is an urgent report from the south of the city... A quarter of an hour ago, the gate of the city wall in the south of the city was suddenly opened, and a fierce fight broke out at the gate of the city. A large number of fully armed soldiers and horses poured into the city..."

"There was a rebellion inside and outside the city gate, and the South Gate was almost lost. Now the situation is chaotic..."

"The Third Prince, take action!"

"..."

Listening to the intelligence reported by Lin Qingqing, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was no big surprise on his face!

"Finally take action?"

Two days ago, when he passed the news to the ears of the Third Prince through Jiang Shaoan, Lin Jiangnian had already predicted that the Third Prince would definitely take action in advance in the near future.

Unexpectedly, he would choose tonight? !

New Year's Eve... a day for family reunion and celebrating the New Year!

The Third Prince chose to mutiny!

He wanted to catch everyone off guard? !

It was indeed an unexpected day!

"What's the situation now?"

Lin Jiangnian was very calm after learning the news and continued to ask.

Lin Qingqing said, "The south gate has been broken. The news has not spread to other places yet, but it has caused some chaos in the city..."

"The rebels who broke into the city went straight to the city defense army. I'm afraid they want to take over the defense of the capital... There are still people coming from outside the city. The situation in the city is worrying..."

Lin Jiangnian thought thoughtfully: "What about the palace?"

"For the time being..."

Lin Qingqing was about to shake her head when footsteps were heard again outside the courtyard behind her. Lin hurried over.

"Your Highness, urgent news came from outside the palace..."

"The Third Prince led 300 elite soldiers and headed straight for the palace!"

"Three hundred?"

Lin Qingqing, who was standing by, heard the news and subconsciously asked in confusion: "Three hundred people want to enter the palace?!"

Lin Kong said: "These 300 are not ordinary elite soldiers. They are first-class elites in terms of quality and momentum. Among them, there are many martial arts masters following the Third Prince. They should not be underestimated..."

"Even so, he wants to take down the imperial guards with 300 people?"

Lin Qingqing still thinks it is unlikely. How can the Daning Palace be broken into so casually?

Lin Jiangnian understood it in his heart, and said calmly: "What if the imperial guards are also the Third Prince's men?"

Hearing this, Lin Qingqing's face changed slightly, but she quickly reacted: "Impossible... How can the Third Prince have this ability? Can he incite all the imperial guards to rebel?"

"Of course he can't incite all the imperial guards to rebel, he only needs to incite some of them and place some of his confidants in. If he understands the internal situation of the imperial guards, he can play a key role at a critical moment..."

"The third prince has not done anything in the past few years. He has been preparing for it for a long time and has been waiting for tonight!"

Lin Jiangnian didn't know exactly how many confidants the third prince had placed in the Forbidden Army, but he could imagine that under normal circumstances, the Forbidden Army guarding the palace gate would be useless to him.

In this way, the three hundred elite soldiers under the Third Prince can play a great role.

Even...

Change of dynasty!

As if thinking of something, Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked at Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong in front of him.

"Continue to let your spies keep a close eye on the whereabouts of the soldiers and horses in the city. You two must protect the safety of the house and not make any mistakes. Do you understand?!"

"I obey my orders!"

Lin Qingqing and Lin Kong looked solemn. Although this matter tonight had nothing to do with them in the Prince's Mansion, they were in the capital and in the vortex of this mutiny. They must not be negligent in any way!

The two left in a hurry. Lin Jiangnian thought about it for a while, turned around, and suddenly saw a figure appearing under the eaves in front of him.

Like a ghost, he stood quietly under the eaves and looked at him quietly.

"Paper Kite?!"

Lin Jiangnian took a closer look and saw clearly that the cold figure standing under the eaves was Zhiyuan.

"You haven't rested yet?"

Under the eaves, the shadow of the paper kite was thin. She slightly raised her delicate chin, and her bright eyes seemed to shine in the dark night.

For some reason, Lin Jiangnian suddenly felt that Zhiyuan's gaze was somewhat profound.

It's like seeing through something at a glance...

Late at night, Lin Jiangnian had an inexplicable sense of deja vu when he went out to steal something and was caught by the palace when he returned home.

There was a moment of silence.

"Would you like to go and have a look?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke.

Zhiyuan's eyes were puzzled and she looked at him with cold eyes.

Slightly confused.

"The third prince has rebelled."

Lin Jiangnian said in a young voice: "It's rare to have such an exciting show, go and see it?"

The drama that had been anticipated for so long was finally staged. Lin Jiangnian, who was half a player in the game, naturally wanted to take a look.

Let's see how this third prince plans to rebel?

I even want to see what the reaction of His Highness the Crown Prince, who had already received the news, would be?

Wonderful drama!

Zhiyuan did not answer Lin Jiangnian immediately. After thinking for a moment, she glanced at Lin Jiangnian with clear eyes and nodded.

"good!"

"..."

Night falls.

There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and the roaring lightning illuminated the sky. It was dark and strange, like a bloody mouth, covering the world.

It's raining harder!

The sound of rain covered up most of the movement in the capital!

At the gate of the south city, there were countless corpses inside and outside the city wall, and columns of horses poured in from outside the city, galloping through the streets of the city, causing waves of waves.

In the dark night, murderous intent permeates the air!

On the roof, Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan each held an umbrella, standing side by side, looking at the street in the distance.

In the brightly lit and prosperous place in the distance, you can vaguely see the scene of drunkenness and wealth. A few streets away, a large number of soldiers and horses poured into the city, pouring into the capital like a tide.

The final destination is - the city defense army!

And, the imperial city not far away shrouded in dark rain!

"The south city gate is broken, and the Third Prince's soldiers and horses cannot stop it. Once they take over the city defense army, the Third Prince's plan will be mostly successful. The rest is up to the Third Prince himself!"

Lin Jiangnian looked forward: "He brought three hundred elite soldiers into the palace. As expected, he wants the prince's life tonight!"

"As soon as the prince died, he took control of the entire palace and the city defense. Tomorrow he will announce that the prince has been assassinated. In the name of catching the assassin, he will eradicate the ministers who opposed him one by one..."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid it will be as he wishes."

Zhiyuan listened to Lin Jiangnian's words quietly without saying a word, but just turned back and stared at his face.

"Let's go to the palace!"

Lin Jiang chuckled and said, "That's where the excitement lies!"

Zhiyuan frowned slightly: "You can't break in!"

The palace is heavily guarded, especially tonight, so it would be difficult to break in!

Zhiyuan herself was fine. It was not difficult for her to enter the palace, but Lin Jiangnian...

"Who said we were going to break in?"

Seeing Zhiyuan's confused look, Lin Jiangnian took her hand and raised his eyebrows: "Let's go, I will take you into the palace openly and openly!"

"..."

Imperial City, South Gate.

Countless imperial troops were waiting in full formation, patrolling near the outside of the imperial city.

Sun Wu, wearing armor, was guarding the palace gate with excited eyes. After tonight, the gears of his life's destiny have completely turned!

When the third prince ascends the throne, he has the merit of following the dragon. When the time comes, you will have all the glory, wealth and honor you want.

Thinking of this, Sun Wu continued to be unable to suppress the emotions hidden under his helmet.

"Look carefully at everything, and cheer up!"

"yes!"

At this moment, two horses appeared in the line of sight ahead! On horseback, two figures walked one behind the other.

"Who?!"

Sun Wu's expression was shocked, and he immediately showed vigilance and stepped forward to stop him.

On horseback, a man in black wearing a bamboo hat took out a token from his arms and threw it over.

"Mitian Division is handling the case. If there is any important situation, we need to go to Beijing to report to Eunuch Chen!"

Sun Wu saw the token and was sure it was correct. Then he raised his head and stared at the two people on the horse, and said in surprise: "Why do you want to see Mr. Chen at this time?"

On the horseback, the man in black scolded in a cold voice: "How dare you delay the important event of Mr. Chen and His Highness the Third Prince, can you afford it?!"

Hearing this, Sun Wu's heart trembled, and he immediately confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

It's not fake!

There are very few people who know about the collusion between the third prince and Mr. Chen. The person who knows this must be the person Mr. Chen trusts the most in the Secret Heaven Division.

Even he only received the news from His Royal Highness the Third Prince this morning. Sun Wu realized that His Royal Highness had already been with Mr. Chen...

"Sir, please come in!"

After confirming the other party's identity, Sun Wu immediately waved his hand to signal to open the door and let him in.

Lin Jiangnian rode a horse and entered the palace smoothly.

Behind him, Zhiyuan, who had changed into a black dress, hid her figure under the black dress, and wore a hat on her head, covering most of her temperament.

"See, I said we can enter the palace openly!"

After entering the palace, Lin Jiangnian turned his head to look at Zhiyuan next to him, with a little pride in his words.

Zhiyuan didn't say anything, and she really didn't expect this. Lin Jiangnian actually went against the grain and entered the palace as the Secret Secretary.

Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the best way?

The imperial guards at the gate of the palace have rebelled, and they are all the Third Prince's men. And Lin Jiangnian used the connection between the Secret Secretary and the Third Prince to successfully deceive everyone.

This guy...

Zhiyuan glanced at him, and he was really brave!

If they were discovered, it would be dangerous for the two to get away!

The two entered the palace smoothly, and the front sight was dark and empty.

There was no one!

There was no other movement between heaven and earth except the sound of heavy rain.

Something was wrong!

Very weird!

"Third Prince, have you entered the Yangxin Palace?"

Lin Jiangnian looked up and looked into the distance. It was also dark, and he could not see any movement.

But as the two gradually went deeper, a hint of blood came from the air.

Soon, a corpse appeared on the ground in front of the two people.

Like a eunuch in the palace, he was beheaded on the spot and died with his eyes open.

Blood flowed all over the ground, and was washed away by the heavy rain. A faint smell of blood remained in the air.

The further you go inside, the more corpses there are. It seems that the scene has not been cleaned up in time. The atmosphere in the air is getting more and more solidified.

"It seems that we are a step late?!"

When you see more and more corpses on the ground in front of you, and even the figures of the imperial guards appear.

There are traces everywhere around, obviously there has been a fight.

And there is still no movement in the sight ahead.

Weird!

It's over?

The third prince, has it succeeded?

"Who won?"

Lin Jiangnian's expression rarely has a trace of solemnity. He muttered to himself and turned his head to look at Zhiyuan.

But he saw that Zhiyuan was looking at him at some point, and the two looked at each other.

At this moment, from the clear eyes under Zhiyuan's hat, a familiar look was seen.

That was... a look of affirmation!

As if she had seen through Lin Jiangnian's thoughts, Zhiyuan gave him a definite answer.

The Third Prince won?

Then he...

"He must die too!"

"..."
