After rebirth, my sister always wants to be close to me
Chapter 34 Inside Story
Liu Yunyan stood outside the door, her mind full of thoughts. At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was extremely tense, like a powder keg ready to explode.
Chen Ge stared at the handsome man in front of him, with a disdainful smile on his face: "Qingci, Qingci, do you think you can scare me with your tricks? Let me tell you, I won't fall for it! You haven't dared to set foot in the capital for many years, and the reason is probably only known to you. Who do you think is more afraid?"
"Hmph!" Chen Ge snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, "I gave you a chance with good intentions. Letting you enter my Liu Mansion is already giving you a chance, but you just don't know what's good for you and insist on drinking a forfeit! In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"
Her words were like adding fuel to the fire, instantly igniting the anger in those people's hearts, especially the man with scars on his face, who was so angry that his face turned ashen and veins bulged on his forehead.
He stared at Chen Ge with his eyes wide open, cursing viciously: "Chen Ge, how dare you be so arrogant! Today I will let you know how to write the word regret!" After that, he suddenly raised the machete in his hand and chopped towards Chen Ge without hesitation.
In an instant, the room was filled with flashing cold light and whistling sword winds. A fierce momentum rushed towards him, and the air around him seemed to be torn apart, making a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air.
It happened so fast! The scarred man stabbed at Chen Ge with a sharp blade, but Chen Ge reacted quickly and dodged the attack easily by turning sideways. However, the scarred man did not give up, and he rushed towards Chen Ge again, trying to launch a more fierce attack.
Facing such a fierce opponent, Chen Ge was not afraid at all. He decisively drew out his sword and started a fierce fight with him. In an instant, the sword flashed, sparks flew, and the two sides fought back and forth, with no clear winner.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Due to the huge gap in physical strength between the two, after several rounds of fighting, Chen Ge gradually felt powerless and her movements began to slow down. At this time, the scarred man seized the opportunity and exerted force suddenly, catching Chen Ge off guard, causing her to lose balance and fall backwards. At the same time, a mouthful of blood gushed out of Chen Ge's mouth, and it was obvious that she was seriously injured.
Seeing that Chen Ge was doomed to fail, the scarred man took advantage of the situation and raised his machete to slash at Chen Ge fiercely...
Just when the extremely sharp blade was only inches away from Chen Ge's head, something unexpected happened. The scarred man suddenly let out a shrill scream: "Ah!"
As the scream rang out, the machete in his hand fell to the ground.
"What's going on?" Seeing this, the other people stood up in shock and quickly stepped forward to check the scarred man's injuries, but after a careful examination, they did not find anything abnormal.
At this moment, the scarred man was holding his wrist in pain. His wrist, which was originally of normal thickness, had now swollen to as big as a steamed bun. He lay on the ground, rolling and groaning, his face full of unbearable pain.
Who was the one who secretly used the hidden weapon? Everyone in the room looked around in confusion, but found nothing. Only Liu Yunyan saw it all clearly. At the critical moment just now, a very thin silver needle shot into the scarred man's wrist like lightning!
Liu Yunyan secretly concentrated and sensed the surrounding environment, but still could not detect any unusual aura.
Then there were only two possibilities. Either the person who placed the hidden weapon left quickly after succeeding, or this person's martial arts skills were far better than hers, and he was able to completely hide his body without being discovered. As for whether this person was an enemy or a friend, she had no way of judging for a moment...
A heart-wrenching howl came from the house, the sound was extremely piercing. Obviously, not only Liu Yunyan felt this way, even Qingci beside her could not stand this miserable scream, he made a prompt decision and knocked her unconscious to the ground.
Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary! Everyone looked at each other, doubts arose in their hearts. After a short silence, they did not hesitate to carry the unconscious scarred man and quickly evacuated the scene.
Liu Yunyan did not leave with them, but quietly waited outside the house. After a while, no one showed up. After a long period of agony, she finally stepped into Chen Ge's room.
When Chen Ge heard the noise, he thought it was those people who had left before coming back. He endured the severe pain, covered the wound tightly with his hands, and struggled to open his heavy eyelids. When he looked closely, he found that the person who came was Liu Yunyan.
"How...why...is it you? Why...are you...here?" Due to his severe injuries, Chen Ge spoke breathlessly and incoherently.
Liu Yunyan slowly squatted down and stared at Chen Ge who was lying on the ground weakly. "I came here with them. After they left, I came in to check on them."
"You..." Chen Ge's eyes widened suddenly, his face full of astonishment, "You were outside just now?"
"Yeah." Liu Yunyan responded, but her eyes did not stay on Chen Ge. Instead, she began to search around the room.
Chen Ge looked at her actions, with a bitter smile on his face: "Haha..." She shook her head helplessly and said to herself, "I never thought that at this time, it would be you who would stay with me... This is really ironic!"
You know, in the past, when she was still Chen Ge, Liu Yunyan was one of the people she hated the most. Now in this situation, she is the only one around her. Chen Ge does not think that Liu Yunyan is here to help her. She is very self-aware.
At this moment, Liu Yunyan found a hidden compartment at the bedside. After some searching, the compartment was successfully opened, and a small and exquisite wooden box was hidden inside.
Liu Yunyan carefully took out the wooden box and gently opened the lid, only to see an ancient token lying quietly inside.
Holding the token, she quickly walked to Chen Ge's side, her eyes gleaming with curiosity: "Is this token yours?"
Chen Ge slowly raised her head, her eyes fell on the token, and after a moment of silence, she nodded and replied, "Yes." Now that things have come to this, she feels there is no need to continue hiding it.
Liu Yunyan played with the token, "Are you okay with your injury? Can you please say a few words to open my eyes?"
"Liu Yunyan, don't go too far." Although Chen Geren was injured, he was still very tough. He was injured, so why should he lie down like this and tell you?
"It's not your decision whether it's excessive or not. Those people just now didn't dare to enter the capital because of an incident twelve years ago. Was that incident the assassination of Princess Yunxi?" It's really troublesome to beat around the bush. It's better to get straight to the point, quick, accurate and ruthless.
"Ahem," Chen Ge coughed twice after hearing this, his eyes widened, "You...how do you know all this? Even the current emperor hasn't figured this out."
The news that Princess Yunxi was assassinated was covered up by Yun Ting, and only a very few people knew about it. How did Liu Yunyan know about it?
"Don't worry about how I know that. You just need to answer yes or no," Liu Yunyan looked at Chen Ge lying on the ground in difficulty and kindly helped her up to sit on the ground.
Chen Ge covered his chest with difficulty, "Yes, they were the direct participants in the assassination back then." Liu Yunyan asked this, she must know something.
"Okay," Liu Yunyan nodded and continued to ask, "Who is the mastermind behind this?"
Chen Ge shook his head. "I'm not sure. I didn't participate in the assassination. The reason I knew about it was because a little brother of mine sneaked into the capital and wanted to seek my protection. He told me, but I killed him."
Liu Yunyan was not surprised at all. "Princess Yunxi doesn't have any real power and she just likes to travel around the world. Why do you want to assassinate her?"
"Do I need a reason to assassinate a princess?" Chen Ge almost shouted.
Liu Yunyan answered honestly, "Yes."
"You..." Chen Ge was speechless for a moment, and spoke in a somewhat angry tone, "Why else? Princess Yunxi is Yun Ting's biological sister. Yun Ting has always regarded this sister as more important than his own life. Moreover, Yunxi has trained countless secret guards for Tianyuan Kingdom. If she doesn't die, how can she defeat Yun Ting?"
Liu Yunyan thought to herself, if this is the case, then the people behind the scenes can be roughly identified. It is not a vendetta, and the power dispute only involves a few targets. As for whether other countries are involved, it is still unknown.
"You are not from Tianyuan," Liu Yunyan said with some certainty. The power in her hands was not small, but there was no trace of them in Tianyuan Country in recent years. There was only one possibility.
"We are the people of Canglang." The name of this country has not been mentioned for a long time.
"Canglang Kingdom? No envoys from Canglang Kingdom came to the Queen's birthday party," Liu Yunyan recalled the situation at that time.
"The Canglang Kingdom and the Tianyuan Kingdom have always been at odds with each other, but the two countries are evenly matched. It's good enough that they didn't fight. Why do they come to celebrate the Queen's birthday?" Chen Ge said directly.
That means, there must be someone from Canglang Country involved in the assassination. Qingyu has been in Canglang Country but has not found the whereabouts of several people. The person behind this is probably of a very high status that Qingyu cannot reach.
"Then why are they looking for you now? I heard them ask you to act as a matchmaker," Liu Yunyan was quite curious about this. Chen Ge didn't seem to have any connections in the capital, and he only relied on the capital of the Liu family.
Chen Ge took a few breaths. "Their information is too behind the times. They want me to get in touch with the Crown Prince through Liu Yunqing. The information they passed to me was because the eldest and second eldest brothers had a disagreement about the assassination. The second eldest brother agreed to the assassination and instigated the third eldest brother. The second and third eldest brothers led their men, but most of the people who died were the third eldest brother's men."
"Also, according to that little brother in the capital, the assassination of Princess Yunxi resulted in heavy losses. More than half of the first-class masters in the organization died, and all the second-class masters died. Only the boss's faction and the other two factions have dozens of people. The organization has been fighting overtly and covertly over the years. The boss's faction has more people, so they beat them all out. They couldn't survive in Canglang anymore, so they thought of me."
Hooking up with the prince? Where did Yun Ruochu get this ability?
