The prince of Jinling and the princess of Huanyu were assassinated by two female killers. Ling Yun came to rescue them when they were in danger.
Ling Yun had long hated Tian Xiao's people, so his men attacked without mercy. The two assassins were hit by swords and fell to the ground one after another.
"You...you are not...Zhou...Shan..."
Xiangyun, one of the Tianxiao female killers, endured the heartbreaking pain and continued intermittently.
Ling Yun's cold eyes were cold and clear, without any emotion, and he only snorted softly.
Xiangyun took a breath and said, "Actually, from the moment you came in and blocked our actions, I knew you were not Zhou Shan..."
Ling Yun sneered: "The real Zhou Shan should be colluding with you and working for you, instead of ruining your affairs at the critical moment, right?"
Xiangyun didn't answer. Her eyes were extremely cold, and her breath was weak: "Also, your martial arts is too...high, and your swordsmanship is too fast. Who in this world can have such...superior martial arts?... "
"Ling——Yun——" She stared at his face with her gloomy eyes without blinking, and said almost word by word through her teeth: "You are Ling...Yun..."
The other party suddenly called out his name directly, revealing his identity. Ling Yun was not surprised at all by this.
His sharp curved outline was tinged with his usual sharpness and indifference, and he snorted disapprovingly, as if everything was within his expectation.
Xiangyun's lips turned purple, she clenched her teeth and said bitterly: "Whether you admit it or not, in this world, the person who knows your words and deeds the most, apart from Princess Huanyu, is probably your servant—— Is that right, my lord?"
"That's right." Ling Yun nodded casually and raised his thin lips slightly, "It's just that I didn't expect that you and I would meet in this situation. When we were in the Junma Mansion, I felt that something was wrong with you. , I suspected that you might have something to do with Tianxiao’s people; I just didn’t expect that you are actually Tianxiao’s people, and your identity is not simple! Hey, I really underestimated you back then.”
"I am really flattered to be favored by the Commander-in-Chief!" Xiangyun's pale face became distorted and she smiled sadly.
Ling Yun narrowed his black eyes, and there was a dangerous light in his eyes, and said quietly: "If I had known that you were such an important figure in Tianxiao, I would not have let you go so easily, which led to today's disaster. .”
"Really? What a coincidence. The words you just said are exactly what I want to say to the commander." Xiangyun's scarlet eyes were filled with a little moisture. In addition to pain, there was also a feeling of falling into madness. of despair.
"Back when I was personally serving the county horse master and the princess, I should have found an opportunity to kill you. Otherwise, today's disaster would not have happened! It's a pity..."
"What's the pity?"
A trace of unwillingness flashed in Xiangyun's eyes, "It's a pity that Gang Leader Li didn't agree."
"Why?"
Xiangyun sighed softly, "Because he said you were too difficult to deal with and didn't want me to do such risky things."
"Oh, really?"
"I have also thought of using a beauty trap to seduce you, but who doesn't know that Commander Ling is extremely difficult to deal with because of his incompetence and might even be self-defeating and expose his identity, so I have no choice but to give it up."
At this point, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "If I had known this would be the result, even if I disobeyed the gang leader's order, I would have killed you at all costs..."
"Really, do I still feel sorry for you?" Ling Yun tilted his head and raised his eyebrows with a smile, his tone full of narrow-mindedness.
"Xiangyun, you really don't know how high the sky is! There are so many people who want to kill me. Which one of them do you think you are better than? In fact, you should be grateful to Gang Leader Li, or for his insight! If it weren't for him I tried my best to stop you, but I’m afraid you wouldn’t be alive today!”
"You..." Xiangyun was brimming with anger for a moment, her lips were pale and bloodless, and she was speechless. Either the other party's words were too sharp and straightforward, leaving her speechless for a moment; or the other party's words were ruthless and directly hit her where it hurts.
At that moment, she felt as if all her strength had been taken away from her. She could no longer support her weak body and collapsed on the ground.
At this moment, the door opened with a bang, and Prince Jinling and Princess Huanyu rushed in with several imperial guards.
Princess Huanyu looked tense, pointed at Xiangyun and shouted sternly: "This woman is the Tianxiao killer, get her right away!"
All the guards responded "Yes" in unison, unsheathed their swords, and pressed forward with stern expressions and murderous intent.
"No need!..."
Faced with the situation in front of him, Xiangyun thought to himself that there was no chance of survival anymore. She almost exhausted all her strength to lift her trembling body from the ground, and the heart-piercing pain at the wound was also covered by the shadow of death.
She gently licked the blood at the corner of her lips. It was still hot; but it would soon be replaced by cold blood.
The guards around her were momentarily shocked by her terrifying expression and couldn't help but hesitate slightly.
At this time, the Tian Xiao female killer's eyes were gloomy and strange, her face as pale as paper looked like a ghost, and half of her clothes were stained red by her own blood, but she herself was laughing, and her laughter was almost crazy.
After laughing, she put her cold hand on the cold soft blade, suddenly turned her wrist, and stabbed herself in the front with a very determined will to die.
With a pounce, the soft blade penetrated deeply into her chest!
Blood spurted out like spring water, quickly dyeing the floor in front of her red, and immediately turned into a river. The pungent smell of blood floated in the air, like a miasma that confused the hearts of everyone present...
The two brutal assassins were finally dead, and the next step was to clean up the scene. Of course, these things were left to the guards.
Huan Yu calmed down, turned around and stared lovingly into Ling Yun's eyes.
Her eyes were bright and gloomy, as if still water was flowing deep, "Thank you. If it hadn't been for you this time, I'm afraid dad and I would have..."
Ling Yun's eyes flickered, and the faint starlight was flowing in his black eyes, and he said softly: "Why are you still telling me these things?"
The two just stared at each other silently, unable to think of what to say.
The air was stagnant for a moment.
Ling Yun watched indifferently as the guards were about to drag away the body of the Tianxiao female killer who had served tea earlier. His clear eyes turned and he suddenly remembered something and raised his hand to stop the guards.
He walked to the body of the female killer in a few steps, reached out and tore off the clothes on her left arm, and suddenly saw a flying cyan owl. He couldn't help but frown slightly, and said to himself: "Sure enough, He is from Tianxiao..."
Prince Jinling and Huanyu also walked over to take a look.
Huanyu stared at the female killer's face and murmured: "How could it be her?..."
"Do you know her?" Ling Yun looked at her with his eyes wide.
Huan Yu nodded, "She was once a lady beside the prince, her name was Zi Yan."
"Zi Yan?..." Ling Yun was a little stunned.
He glanced at the woman's face again, and suddenly remembered the female official who followed the prince to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice a few months ago and served beside the prince. He couldn't help but suddenly realized: "No wonder he felt familiar when he saw this woman just now. It turns out I’ve seen her before!”
What was even more surprising to him was that this woman turned out to be the important witness in the Prince's case, Zi Yan, whom he had been searching for for days.
It's a pity that she is dead, which means that the clues just captured are broken again. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
At this time, people outside were shouting, thinking it was the Ouchi guards led by Li Zhishan who were coming here.
His heart trembled, and he knew that the first thing he had to do now was: get out of here right away! Because now that his identity has been exposed, if he stays here any longer, he can only sit back and wait for death.
"Prince, Princess, Ling Yun has something urgent to do. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany me." He turned to look at Princess Huanyu and Prince Jinling and said.
Prince Jinling sighed with complicated emotions, "Zhichao, what are your next plans?"
Intend? Of course, the most urgent thing now is to rescue Mr. Lu as soon as possible - but this kind of prison robbery, which can even be said to be against the will of the world, can he say it bluntly in front of the prince of Jinling? …
At this time, he felt that his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. He had no choice but to shake his head and said with a bitter smile: "I don't know, just take a step and see!"
What kind of person the Prince of Jinling was, he understood a little bit when he saw the situation, but now that the situation was urgent, he couldn't say anything more.
At this moment, looking at Ling Yun's helpless expression, Prince Jinling suddenly felt a sense of silent sadness in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh heavily, and his voice became hoarse.
"The road ahead is full of dangers. You must be careful! If you can't hold on outside at any time, remember to come to me. Zhichao, you must remember that when you are the most lonely and helpless, Jinling Palace It is the harbor where you live..."
Ling Yun's throat was choked at that moment. It turns out that before this in the capital, he had always thought that he was alone and helpless, especially after he was deeply hurt by his father He Yuting last time.
Now he suddenly understood that besides Lian Nanchun, Lian Xiezhong and Yang Zhen outside the city, there were also people here who were silently supporting him behind the scenes!
His eyes instantly shattered. He bit his lips hard, trying his best to prevent the tears filling his eyes from falling.
"Your Majesty, thank you."
Ling Yun raised his head and exhaled softly, "The matter is urgent, I must leave here immediately - Prince, please take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he bowed his head respectfully and gave a deep salute to Prince Jinling. Then he turned around and walked out of the hall as fast as flying.
"Wait..." A trembling female voice accidentally sounded from behind.
Ling Yun's heart throbbed unconsciously, and he stopped subconsciously.
Princess Huanyu staggered, ran behind him in a few steps, suddenly stretched out her arms, and hugged him tightly from behind.
Tears fell silently down her cheeks, one drop at a time, wetting his clothes...
