Song Xuanlin thought of several possibilities, but he never expected that the girl was from the Rongguo Marquis Mansion.

When Lu Yue came back from the inn and told him what happened, he concluded that the woman with Prince Jing'an was the girl who saved him in the temple.

Since she is from the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, why would she save herself?

And why does he have Shen Yun's unique martial arts?

Song Xuanlin took out the dagger that Lu Yue gave him and carefully stroked the patterns on the handle.

This is so similar to the pattern carved on Shen Yun's dagger.

Shen Yun......

Thinking of Shen Yun, Song Xuanlin's long-dormant emotions were reawakened, surging in his mind like waves.

He lowered his eyes, and his long and narrow eyelashes hid the sadness in his eyes.

Ever since Shen Yun's death three years ago, his life seemed to have lost its luster. He had no appetite every day and practiced sword-fighting from morning to night like a madman.

At that time, Wei Xun saw Song Xuanlin's strange feelings for Shen Yun. Unable to bear to see him so depressed, he personally gave him Shen Yun's dagger that he found in Camel Hump Valley as a souvenir.

When Song Xuanlin saw the dagger, he was filled with grief and regretted that he was not strong enough to protect the woman he loved.

From then on, he practiced martial arts even harder, mastered all kinds of moves to perfection, and even received praise from the emperor.

It was not until a year after the Shen family was destroyed that Song Xuanlin volunteered to go north to fight against Chidan, and the emperor agreed.

At first, Chidan even laughed at Dazhen for sending such a young prince into battle.

But after several fights, Chi Dan no longer dared to underestimate Song Xuanlin because of his bravery and strategy beyond his age.

Song Xuanlin also gradually figured out Chidan's combat tactics and weaknesses.

In the countless battles that followed, he was always able to hit Chidan's sore spots, attack them unexpectedly and catch them off guard, and finally defeated Chidan.

Over time, the Chidan soldiers would shrink back when they saw Song Xuanlin coming, and even the leading general began to feel a little scared.

I was thinking, now that Shen Yun is gone, how come this unknown prince suddenly appeared, and his martial arts skills are similar to Shen Yun's?

And Song Xuanlin has been on the Chidan border for these years not just to repel the Chidan people.

He has also been secretly searching for clues of the Shen family's murder.

Because from the beginning to the end he didn't believe that the Shen family would commit treason, nor did he believe that Shen Yun was so resourceful and so easily fell into a trap set by others.

Huang Tian deserves a caring person.

Not long ago, he finally learned from the secret agent that the Shen family was framed and it was actually the prince's doing.

The Crown Prince, Marquis Rong, and even Li Yujing are all birds of a feather.

Just because General Shen refused to serve the prince, he resorted to manipulation and executed the entire Shen family, who had been loyal for generations, and made them bear the eternal infamy of treason.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart, and he raised the dagger in his hand again to look at it carefully.

Rongguo Marquis Mansion......

Song Xuanlin nodded in thought. If he wanted to overthrow the prince, he would have to break his arms one by one. The Marquis of Rongguo would eventually be destroyed.

However, the prince now sees him as a thorn in his side and has arranged multiple assassinations from the Southern Region to Ningyuan Temple.

If that girl really came from the Rongguo Marquis Mansion, wouldn't it be contradictory to save herself?

Which part of this is it that I don’t know?

After a while, Song Xuanlin felt a headache from thinking so much, so he rubbed his temples to relax himself.

Never mind. As long as we find that girl, we will understand the reason.

"Lu Yue." Song Xuanlin called in a low voice.

"Yes, my lord."

"Keep a close eye on the Rongguo Marquis and Jing'an Palace, and inform me of any unusual movements at any time."

"Yes!"

-

The night was long and it was already midnight. The cold sound of night watchmen could be faintly heard in the capital.

But at this moment, Li's house was brightly lit.

In the courtyard, Li Yujing looked haggard, with his hair loose. He was covering his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. On the ground in front of him was Lu Song's body.

Several servants trembled all over when they saw the corpse and stood far away.

But Li Yujing didn't care about the unpleasant smell from the corpse. He held the lantern and examined every part of the corpse attentively, with confusion and shock in his eyes.

Ever since he received the news of the failed assassination attempt on King Ming last night, he has become extremely anxious.

He was also distracted during the daytime court sessions, fearing that the prince would be furious with him.

But what is meant to come will always come.

After the court session, the prince secretly summoned him to the bedroom of the East Palace. As soon as he entered the room, he was scolded by the prince.

At that time, Li Yujing even felt that his life was about to end there.

A day passed in a daze, and only now did he calm down and carefully study Lu Song's body.

But when he saw the palm prints left on the corpse, he became even more frightened.

This was actually left by Yunfeng Palm!

Li Yujing suddenly felt weak all over and sat down on the ground.

why?

Three years ago in Camel Hump Valley, I clearly set the fire with my own hands. The fire burned for a whole day and a night, and it was impossible for anyone to survive.

Now, the Shen family's unique martial arts have reappeared in the world. Is there anyone in the Shen family still alive?

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of Li Yujing's neck.

The memories of those years at the Shen family are still vivid in my mind.

At that time, Li Yujing used the entire Shen family as a bargaining chip to catch the prince's eye.

However, the Shen family was ignorant of what was good for them and refused to support the prince no matter how much they were persuaded. They only cared about being on good terms with Wei Xun, and Wei Xun was the uncle of the sixth prince Song Xuanlin, which naturally made the prince wary of him.

The Shen family deserved to be destroyed in the end!

However, Li Yujing had never expected that there might still be someone alive in the Shen family.

Moreover, this person's martial arts skills are very high.

Being able to find Lu Song also means that this person knows the inside story of the Shen family’s demise.

Li Yujing stared at the palm print in trance. If this person came to avenge the Shen family, would he be the next one?

Thinking of this, his heart trembled.

The prince is still angry now. If the King of Ming recovers from his injury, he will go to Beijing to receive the reward. At that time, the prince will still send himself to assassinate the King of Ming.

If this person suddenly shows up to mess things up, wouldn't all my efforts over the years be wasted?

"Someone come!" Li Yujing became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, and quickly called his followers to order in a deep voice, "Go to Ningyuan Temple again and check. Don't come back if you can't find any clues about that person!"

"It's my lord!"

A hint of viciousness flashed in Li Yujing's eyes. He wanted to strike first and kill this man to prevent future troubles.

-

The next morning, at the hot spring inn.

"what!"

Suddenly, a deafening shout came from Room No. 1, breaking the tranquility of the inn.

When the innkeeper learned that the shouting came from the room of Prince Jing'an, he did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately rushed to Room No. 1 with a few waiters.

But as soon as everyone entered, they saw two shirtless men grappling with each other on the bed.

One of the men was the Prince of Jing'an.

Liu Rufeng and the follower were tied tightly together. Both of them struggled hard to separate, but to no avail.

The whole scene is really unspeakable.

Liu Rufeng was sweating profusely from all the hard work. He looked up and saw the shopkeeper standing stupidly at the door. He immediately shouted angrily, "Hey, come over here and untie this prince!"

"Oh yes, yes!"

The shopkeeper and several waiters stood there in a daze for a long time before they reacted and hurriedly untied the belts on Liu Rufeng and the attendant.

As soon as Liu Rufeng was untied, he quickly wrapped himself tightly with a quilt, and then kicked his follower off the bed.

His chest heaved violently, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his expression was uglier than if he had eaten a fly.

Thinking of the scene when he just woke up, he felt ashamed and angry.

I thought I had met a gentle and beautiful woman, but I never expected that she would be so vicious.

Not only did he dare to attack him, but he also insulted him like this.

If this matter gets out, how can he, the prince of Jing'an, survive in the capital!

Thinking of this, he looked ruthless, raised his head and threatened everyone in the room: "If anyone dares to spread what happened today, I will burn this inn down!"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly responded, "My Lord, I guarantee with my life that I will never tell anyone a word!"

After hearing this, Liu Rufeng turned around and ordered his followers on the ground: "Go back now, and dig three feet deep to find that woman!"

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Watching his followers retreat from the room in embarrassment, Liu Rufeng's eyes were sinister.

That woman is so outrageous, I will never let her go!
