These men in black obviously had no intention of continuing to waste time with Shen Qingxu. They simply drew their weapons, holding swords, and quickly moved towards Shen Qingxu.

Shen Qingxu had no suitable weapon around, so she picked up Chen Bo's horsewhip. She held the handle and looked at the man in black.

Relying on that few moves, he fought with a few men in black for a while.

The man in black was annoyed after being whipped by Shen Qingxu, so he pulled out a whip from his waist, rolled up Shen Qingxu's whip and threw it far away. Shen Qingxu looked at her empty hands. She held the whip with such great strength, how did the man in black do it?

Shen Qingxu, who had lost his weapon, dodged the attacks of the men in black with his bare hands.

But in fact, she could not resist the attack of the man in black, and watched as the sword of the man in black stabbed towards Shen Qingxu's heart.

Lin Shuyao, who was blocking behind Shen Qingxu, suddenly stood in front of Shen Qingxu, and Shen Qingxu was almost frightened to faint.

"Shuyao, are you going to die?"

Shen Qingxu quickly pulled Lin Shuyao back, but Lin Shuyao stubbornly moved her body forward, and now she was standing in front of the sword of the man in black!

Shen Qingxu was frightened and wanted to turn back, but it was too late. The next second, the accomplice of the man in black suddenly reached out and deflected the sword that was stabbing at them. This action stunned everyone present. Lin Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief. She knew who these people were and they would definitely not dare to kill her, but she didn't know who they were. She had made the right bet.

Shen Qingxu knew that Lin Shuyao was a princess. These people did not kill Lin Shuyao because they knew her. It seemed that these killers were sent by the Xiao family to kill her.

"You are lucky today. We won't kill unimportant people!"

The men in black came and left quickly. Apart from their clothes being a little dirty and Chen Bo's blood stains on their bodies, they did not suffer any substantial injuries. However, Lin Shuyao was frightened today, so she simply packed up and hurried to the house.

"Shuyao, thank you for saving my life!" Shen Qingxu looked at Lin Shuyao. How could she repay such a life-saving favor?

In a large mansion in the capital.

Five or six men in black knelt on the ground together. In front of them was a man wearing a mask whose face could not be seen clearly. The leader of the men in black said, "Master, this operation has failed. I didn't expect that the young lady was with that princess today. In order to protect that girl, the young lady almost died under the knife of my subordinates!"

"Bastard!"

"I know my mistake!"

"Miss, are you okay?"

The man sitting in the first seat had a slightly weathered voice and sounded quite old. Perhaps because of anger, the man fell silent.

He gently took off his mask, and it turned out to be Luo Cheng, the steward of Prince Liang's Mansion. If Lin Shuyao was here today, she would definitely recognize him.

"Master, the young lady is fine, but the young lady and Shen Qingxu have been in close contact and have a very good relationship. The two of them are often inseparable. If she continues to fight next time, I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

Luo Cheng knew very well that the leader of the men in black was telling the truth, but King Liang had issued a death order, demanding that Shen Qingxu be found alive or dead. King Liang was probably crazy and didn't even care about the Thousand Machine Technique in Shen Qiuchi's hand.

In King Liang's opinion, as long as Shen Qingxu was captured, no matter whether he was dead or alive, as long as the news about Shen Qingxu was concealed, he could then use any object to threaten Shen Qiuchi and get the Thousand Machine Secret in Shen Qiuchi's hand!

"Find another opportunity to do it. If it really doesn't work, I'll think of another way!"

Luo Cheng had to make preparations for both situations. After all, the meaning of King Liang's letter was to get the Thousand Machine Secrets at all costs. If they just went back like this, given King Liang's temper, wouldn't they be in great pain?

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng picked up his pen and wrote a letter. Perhaps he could learn a little from Shen Qiuchi’s junior fellow apprentice Xu Xingyi!

When King Liang received the letter, his brows furrowed.

The letter said that Lin Shuyao was in love with Shen Qiuchi's junior fellow apprentice Xu Xingyi. If the two could be paired up, or if the two could get married, as long as Xu Xingyi became Lin Shuyao's husband, then Xu Xingyi would definitely become their own person.

Xu Xingyi likes Shen Qingxu and once disobeyed the emperor's order and eloped with Shen Qingxu. They sent people from the Seven Killing Pavilion to hunt him down, but unexpectedly they failed. Xu Xingyi just wanted to escape from the capital with Shen Qingxu forever. Shen Qiuchi was afraid that Shen Qingxu might encounter an accident outside, so he asked an expert to bring her back!

If Shen Qingxu could be used to create a conflict between Xu Xingyi and Shen Qiuchi, and fellow disciples became enemies, it would definitely achieve unexpected results!

King Liang only replied with one word.
