Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

Lin Yushu stood up immediately, her voice losing its usual calmness.

"what happened?"

Mu Shang's voice was hoarse and had a hint of crying.

"The five guards who escorted the prince came back early this morning. Four of them were seriously injured and fell into a coma when they returned to the mansion. The last one was better. He said..."

"He said they were ambushed in the dense forest outside the capital, and His Royal Highness fought desperately to hold back the assassin, allowing the five of them to escape!"

When Mu Shang heard the news, he was so angry that he almost beat to death the only conscious guard.

Their mission was to protect Nan Rongjing, but they came back alive, while Nan Rongjing...

"He said that they would rather die than leave, but after the Crown Prince was stabbed by a sword, he used a bottle of poison to stop all the assassins. But those bastards actually used a fire bottle!"

The fire bottle is filled with sulfur. Once it is ignited and thrown out, it will explode instantly, and sparks mixed with iron pieces will fly everywhere, with extremely strong lethality.

Nan Rongjing was forced to the edge of the cliff, and it was obvious that the men in black were targeting Nan Rongjing. Once Nan Rongjing was left alone, the men in black who were attacking other guards quickly retreated and all turned to attack Nan Rongjing.

The five guards tried their best but failed to stop these men in black.

Seeing Nan Rongjing fighting and retreating all the way to the edge of the cliff, the next moment, Nan Rongjing jumped high and shouted at the five guards behind the assassin.

"Come on!"

Then, Nan Rongjing used some unknown means, and a large number of the black-clothed men surrounding him fell to the ground, and roars and screams were heard everywhere.

At the moment when the guards hesitated, Nan Rongjing took advantage of the man in black falling to the ground, turned around and jumped off the cliff!

That is a cliff that is a hundred feet deep. If Nan Rongjing falls down, he will die no matter how high his martial arts skills are!

The guards suddenly became furious and slaughtered the remaining twenty or so men in black without any regard, and they themselves were also seriously injured.

"Jump off a cliff? Where?"

Mu Shang was stunned. He didn't expect that Lin Yushu's first reaction after learning of Nan Rongjing's death was to ask him where he jumped off the cliff.

"It's on a cliff near a dense forest in the southern suburbs of Beijing."

!!!

Isn’t that the road she took when she returned to the capital from Qingshan County?

At that time, the Second Lady designed her to sit in an out-of-control carriage, which almost made her fall off the cliff.

No wonder Nan Rongjing jumped off the cliff!

Looking at the frightened Mu Shang, Lin Yushu reminded her helplessly.

"If I remember correctly, this wasn't the first time your son jumped off that cliff, and the last time you must have accompanied him."

!!!

Mu Shang stood there in a daze, his face turned red in an instant, and he was so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands.

"Princess, you mean... yes, yes..."

Lin Yushu nodded at him, and Mu Shang immediately bowed deeply, then turned around and ran out like the wind.

Leng Dai couldn't understand the cryptic conversation between the two people and became a little anxious.

"Miss, what are you talking about? Is His Royal Highness okay?"

Chuntao, who was standing by, understood what was happening when she heard the word "cliff". She winked at Leng Dai playfully.

"You'll know if you try it."

"Try? Try jumping off a cliff?"

Leng Dai looked at Chuntao as if she were a fool.

Lin Yushu watched the two of them laughing and playing, but she did not feel at ease. Although she firmly believed that Nan Rongjing was not dead, he must have been seriously injured.

I don't know where he is now, and whether he will be in danger again...

-

"Your Highness, I saw with my own eyes that the Prince of Jin fell off a cliff. The cliff is nearly a hundred feet high, and there is absolutely no possibility of survival."

Nan Huaishuo laughed, "Good, good, good! Well done."

On the other side, completely different from Nan Huaishuo's cheerful face, Xu Ce had a tense face, as cold and hard as a stone sculpture.

"You two have done an excellent job. The assassins hired by Mr. Gu and the personal guards around Lord Xu are all top-notch fighters! This prince will reward you greatly!"

Gu Zhi lowered his head and looked respectful, but his eyes were always watching Xu Ce's every move.

Until the two of them left, Xu Ce did not say anything that should not be said, which made Gu Zhi feel relieved.

The two men walked to the gate of the mansion in silence, and Gu Zhi stopped Xu Ce who was about to leave.

"Master Xu, please stay."

Xu Ce stared at Gu Zhi vigilantly. Although he had to work for Nan Huaishuo now, he felt extremely painful in his heart. He had been an honest official all his life and had never done anything against his conscience, always serving the people wholeheartedly.

But she gave birth to a beast!

Now he can only work for Nan Huaishuo. Ever since they worked together during the snow disaster in Xuzhou, he has disliked Nan Huaishuo. He thinks that this man is too scheming. If he ascends the throne one day, it will definitely not be a blessing for the common people.

And Gu Zhi in front of him, as Nan Huaishuo's retainer, is even more gloomy than Nan Huaishuo.

From the first time they met, Xu Ce felt that this man was definitely not a good person. It was not until he conspired with him to assassinate the Prince of Jin that Xu Ce discovered that this man was not only vicious, but also had an unfathomable mind.

This was the first time Xu Ce met someone whom he could not understand at all, and he did not want to talk to Gu Zhi any more.

"What advice do you have for me, Mr. Gu?"

"Master Xu, do you have anything to ask me about the assassination?"

Xu Ce's face was cold, he understood what Gu Zhi was talking about.

Although the Prince of Jin was a living devil in the court and people were terrified at the mention of him, he only used his fierce methods against corrupt officials and flatterers, and never abused his power for personal gain, which made Xu Ce admire him very much.

So when Nan Huaishuo asked him to assassinate Nan Rongjing, Xu Ce struggled extremely. He knew that once he did it, he would never be able to turn back.

"Mr. Gu has a sense of justice and is a close confidant of His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. You only need His Royal Highness to approve of what you do. I certainly have no right to interfere."

Gu Zhi chuckled hoarsely twice, which reminded Xu Ce of a crow.

"Master Xu, thank you for your compliment. Since you know the current situation, I will let it go. From now on, I will work with you to serve His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince with all my heart and soul."

Xu Ce snorted secretly, ignored Gu Zhi, turned around and left.

Gu Zhi stared at Xu Ce's back, his gloomy eyes extremely cold.

The servant who was following him from a distance walked forward and asked Gu Zhi in a low voice.

"Sir, do you want to deal with this person?"

"Not for now. Find two people to keep an eye on him day and night. If he shows any unusual behavior..."

Gu Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the servant, then made a cutting motion with his right hand in front of his neck.

The servant nodded immediately, "I understand."

After turning around, Gu Zhi's mind suddenly emerged with the murderous figure at the edge of the dense forest and on the cliff on the day of the assassination.

Gu Zhi, who was observing the battle from a distance, didn't see clearly what Nan Rongjing was holding in his hand. He only saw him suddenly jump high and wave his hand, and a blood-red mist appeared.

The men in black in front of Nan Rongjing all lost their fighting ability instantly after touching the red mist and fell to the ground wailing.

The next moment, while Gu Zhi was dumbfounded, Nan Rongjing actually turned around and jumped off the cliff!
