Chapter 391 The Two Girls Formally Meet

The night fell, and in the imperial city, a series of hurried footsteps rushed past.

The lights were bright, and the fully armed imperial guards were searching for the assassin in the imperial city in an orderly manner.

The dark night sky was filled with countless spies of the imperial city's masters. Above the imperial city, sword energy was everywhere.

A thin black shadow hid his body in the darkness and landed silently in an empty and abandoned yard.

After making sure that there were no pursuers behind him, he fell to the ground and gasped.

The originally thin body seemed to fall down at any time, his face was red, and his rapid breathing was accompanied by a bit of paleness.

"Damn it, I almost died!"

The thin-faced monkey gritted his teeth, his face full of relief for surviving the disaster. If he hadn't been more careful, I'm afraid that tonight would be a big deal!

Thinking of this, the thin-faced monkey hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice qigong to regulate his body.

He almost died in that fight just now!

The mysterious female master who suddenly appeared had unfathomable martial arts skills, at least quasi-second-grade strength. He was lucky to survive.

At the moment, he only felt that his blood was surging all over his body, and his internal organs were as uncomfortable as if they were displaced. Obviously, he was seriously injured.

"Who is she?"

The thin-faced monkey narrowed his eyes, and his expression gradually became solemn.

There are not many second-grade masters in the world, especially a woman, which is even rarer!

Could it be that the eldest princess? !

But the thin-faced monkey quickly shook his head again. The other party's breath and martial arts internal strength were not similar. More importantly, the eldest princess had no reason to kill the third prince!

So, who is it?

The thin-faced monkey thought for a moment, but didn't come up with a result.

"Damn it, never mind, let's leave alive first!"

After sitting on the ground and adjusting his injuries, the thin-faced monkey got up and prepared to leave the palace first.

There was a big commotion in the palace tonight. There were imperial guards everywhere. Even the masters were probably out. He had to leave the palace before he was discovered. .

The thin-faced monkey made up his mind and was about to leave. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye.

"Who?!"

This scared him instantly. His face suddenly changed. He turned his head to look alertly.

He saw a figure quietly appearing in the yard not far ahead.

She was wearing a black dress and holding a black umbrella. She appeared in the yard with a cold temperament and looked at him expressionlessly.

The thin-faced monkey's pupils shrank suddenly. He didn't even notice when the other party appeared.

His heart sank immediately and he suddenly became alert: "I wonder if the lady... has anything to teach me?"

"Don't you recognize me?"

A cold voice came.

The thin-faced monkey was stunned.

He looked up again and squinted at the black-clothed figure in the yard in front of him.

The patter of raindrops fell on the black umbrella, forming a rain curtain as it slid down. Under the rain curtain, a pretty face that was cold and beautiful gradually emerged.

Cold and noble!

Without any emotional waves, she just looked at him quietly.

When he saw this beautiful face, the thin-faced monkey was stunned, and the next second, his face suddenly changed.

"Yes, it's you?!"

He quickly recognized the identity of the woman in front of him-Jiang Zhiyuan!

The maid with unfathomable martial arts beside Prince Lin? ! !

The thin-faced monkey's heart suddenly sank. Almost without any hesitation, he turned around and ran!

Must run!

This woman's martial arts is far beyond his ability to compete!

The other party suddenly appeared here, and must be coming for him.

However, he turned around and ran a few steps, and suddenly a majestic breath came from behind him.

The thin-faced monkey's pupils shrank more and more, and his whole body was tense, not daring to be careless at all. Without caring about anything else, he rolled on the spot and dodged to the side quickly.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, even though the thin-faced monkey had dodged quickly, he was still affected by the majestic aura and rolled twice on the ground in embarrassment, his face pale.

The injury he had already suffered became more serious.

Before the thin-faced monkey had time to get up, the kite holding a black umbrella had landed in front of him silently, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Run again, die!"

The thin-faced monkey was frightened and immediately admitted his defeat.

"Lady, spare my life... Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything..."

"..."

Inside the imperial city.

On the other side, Liu Su avoided the figures of several imperial guards chasing him and fell into a high-walled palace.

Beyond the wall, there were hurried footsteps.

"Here, the assassin just ran over here!"

"Chase, we must not let the assassin run away!"

"..."

After the footsteps outside the high wall gradually faded away, Liu Su breathed a sigh of relief. There was a little more regret in her cold eyes.

She thought that she was hiding so deep that she would be able to kill the third prince with one blow and then leave gracefully.

Unexpectedly, she still overestimated herself, and she didn't expect that there was still a hidden danger behind.

What is the origin of that thin-faced monkey?

Why did he hide in the dark to protect the third prince?

Liu Su frowned and couldn't figure it out.

The palace was too chaotic tonight, and it was unknown how many forces were involved. However, these had nothing to do with her.

The plan to assassinate the third prince was considered a failure. Now for Liu Su, it was time to think about the retreat and how to leave here.

The palace was full of imperial guards searching and patrolling, and many masters appeared. The longer she stayed here, the less safe she would be.

What was more serious was that after her failed assassination attempt was exposed, the palace gate had been blocked, and a dragnet must have been set up there.

After thinking for a while, Liu Su didn't think of a better way, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She didn't care about so much, so she left here first.

Having made up her mind, Liu Su hid in the darkness and walked towards the palace gate. But as soon as she took a step, she heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming this way.

"Here, here, search carefully!"

"She must be in this area!"

Liu Su didn't expect that the imperial guards outside would turn back and come towards the courtyard where she was hiding. The situation was urgent, Liu Su's eyes turned cold, and her right hand had already fallen on the hilt of the sword.

Since she was going to be discovered, she would kill her way out.

Just as Liu Su stretched out her hand to draw her sword, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind her: "Come here!"

Such a familiar voice made Liu Su stunned.

At the same time, a hand appeared from behind Liu Su, and before Liu Su could react, it pulled her into the corner next to it.

When Liu Su looked carefully and saw the familiar face in front of her, she finally reacted vaguely.

She looked at Lin Jiangnian, who appeared in front of her at some point, in astonishment: "You, why are you here?!"

"You can be here, why can't I be here?"

Looking at Liu Su's astonished eyes, Lin Jiangnian said unhappily: "Do you know what you are doing tonight?"

"I..."

Liu Su was about to say something, the gate of the courtyard was opened, a series of hurried footsteps approached, and the imperial guards holding torches poured into the courtyard.

"Hush, keep your voice down, don't be discovered!"

Lin Jiangnian whispered.

Liu Su opened her mouth but didn't speak.

Only then did she realize that she was being held in Lin Jiangnian's arms at some point, and the two of them were hiding in a corner of the courtyard. She raised her eyes slightly and stared at Lin Jiangnian's face.

Why is he here?

Did he...know something?

At this moment, Liu Su's mind was a little confused.

She even forgot about the dangerous situation at the moment, and stared at Lin Jiangnian for a long time.

Lin Jiangnian observed the imperial guards who were searching the courtyard not far away. It was dark now, and it was still raining outside, so the vision was blurred. After the imperial guards failed to find any clues in the courtyard, they quickly left and continued to search other places.

"Let's go!"

Lin Jiangnian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw Liu Su staring at him with burning eyes.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here!"

The two almost said in unison.

Lin Jiangnian stared at her: "Should I ask you this question? Why are you here tonight?"

"You suddenly sent me away tonight and drove me away... You didn't come here just to come?"

Lin Jiangnian quickly remembered that he was going to accompany Liu Su on New Year's Eve tonight, but she suddenly changed her face and drove him away.

Now that the two met here again, the answer was self-evident.

Hearing this, Liu Su was obviously a little guilty and avoided Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

"I, I..."

"I have something important to do!"

Liu Su gritted her teeth.

"What important thing?"

Lin Jiangnian stared into her eyes: "Kill the third prince?"

Liu Su was slightly startled and raised her eyes unexpectedly: "You, did you see it?"

"What else?"

Lin Jiangnian said unhappily: "If I didn't see it, would you still be hiding it from me?"

"Humph!"

Facing Lin Jiangnian's 'sarcasm', Liu Su wanted to refute, but couldn't.

Indeed, she was indeed wrong tonight. Now that she ran into Lin Jiangnian, she felt a sense of guilt as if she had been caught red-handed.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her: "Why are you here? Why do you want to kill the third prince?"

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's slightly overbearing tone, Liu Su bit her lip and felt a little dissatisfied in her heart.

But in the end, she didn't say a word.

After a moment of silence, she looked at him with a slightly dark look: "Can't you guess the reason?"

"Your leader's order?" Lin Jiangnian naturally guessed it.

Liu Su and the third prince had no grudges, so there was no need for her to get involved tonight, unless...

"You know it and still ask?!"

Liu Su pouted.

"Is this why you left me tonight?"

Seeing that she was still righteous, Lin Jiangnian said angrily: "You sent me away just to kill the third prince?"

Liu Su did not refute and acquiesced.

"Why did your leader want to kill the third prince?"

Lin Jiangnian frowned. He had never heard that the leader had a grudge with the third prince?

Was there another purpose, or did he simply want to muddy the water?

"Not sure."

Liu Su shook her head. If the leader had not suddenly appeared tonight, she would not know what grudge the leader had with the third prince. Although she was the saint of the Heavenly God Sect, she was not clear about many affairs in the sect.

She also did not expect that the third prince would rebel tonight!

Liu Su, who had witnessed everything from the dark, was shocked!

And the leader's order was to eliminate the Third Prince after his rebellion failed.

"What about you?"

Liu Su suddenly realized something, raised her eyes and stared at Lin Jiangnian, with a suspicious look on her face: "Why are you here?"

She didn't expect Lin Jiangnian to be here tonight, or...

"The Third Prince rebelled, and you got involved?!"

"What are you thinking? Can I go along with her?"

Lin Jiangnian said unhappily.

"The Third Prince is plotting a rebellion. How can I miss such a big show?"

"So you are here to watch the fun tonight?"

"Almost!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded. He came to watch this big show tonight. Unexpectedly, this big show has twists and turns. It is indeed... a bit exciting!

"Are you alone?"

Liu Su asked suddenly.

Lin Jiangnian lowered his eyes and saw Liu Su's dark and bright eyes staring at him faintly.

Lin Jiangnian's expression did not change: "Why are you asking this?"

"You are not here alone, right?"

Liu Su obviously saw through something and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Why do you think so?" Lin Jiangnian's expression did not change... How can this woman guess so accurately?

"Heh!"

Liu Su sneered. How could she not understand Lin Jiangnian?

This guy is most afraid of death!

When this guy first arrived at the Lin Wang Mansion, she saw how cautious he was, how careful he was, and how he was afraid of death.

Tonight, the Third Prince rebelled and the palace was in chaos. With Lin Jiangnian's martial arts, it would be very dangerous for him to join in the fun. If he accidentally ran into a master of the imperial guards, he would probably be in danger.

Not to mention that he had a grudge against the Third Prince. Once he was discovered by the rebels, the Third Prince would probably laugh out loud in his dreams.

Therefore, he could never have come alone!

Liu Su's thoughts were short and fast, and she quickly thought of someone.

"She, came with you, right?!"

Liu Su stared into Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

He had to admire that in some aspects, this woman's intuition was really accurate.

It was a little scary!

Seeing Liu Su staring at him, she questioned him. Lin Jiangnian did not deny it, but nodded.

"Yes, she came with me!"

"Where is she?"

Liu Su looked around, but did not see Zhiyuan. She sneered, "Why? She dared not see me? She ran away?"

Seeing Liu Su's words, Lin Jiangnian shook his head, "She went to help me with another thing!"

"Oh."

Liu Su spoke expressionlessly and glanced at him, "Then go find her."

After that, Liu Su struggled out of Lin Jiangnian's arms and prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, she was pulled by Lin Jiangnian again: "Where are you going?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Liu Su looked cold and glanced at her hand that he was holding: "Let go!"

Lin Jiangnian naturally did not let go, and sighed helplessly: "Are you jealous too?"

"I'm not!"

"Then don't leave in a hurry!"

"What do you care about me?!"

"..."

Just as the two were still entangled in confrontation, a black shadow fell silently in the courtyard outside the palace wall not far away.

"Ouch!"

Accompanied by a soft scream, something was thrown on the ground casually.

Zhi Yuan, wearing a black dress and holding an umbrella, landed in the courtyard, her eyes fixed on Lin Jiangnian and Liu Su in the corner.

Her eyes stayed on the two people's hands that were pulling together and tightly holding each other.

She stayed for a moment without saying anything.

Zhi Yuan moved her eyes away and fell on Liu Su.

The two women looked at each other, and at this moment, the world seemed to be a little quieter.
