Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

The night sky.

The killing intent was full.

In the quiet little village, the killing intent suddenly rose.

On the walls around the house, more than a dozen black shadows arrived in an instant.

Under the cover of darkness, the cold light was sharp.

These more than a dozen black shadows held swords, and the sharp swords were extremely dazzling under the reflection of the moonlight.

Almost in an instant, these more than a dozen figures all looked at Lin Jiangnian and others in the yard.

The next second, these several black shadows jumped down from the wall and rushed straight to Lin Jiangnian.

"There is an assassin!"

On the other side, Lin Qingqing noticed the surprise attack at the first time, his eyes suddenly alerted, and the long sword at his waist was unsheathed.

The guards behind Lin Qingqing also drew their swords and rushed forward. In an instant, the originally silent house was filled with the sound of swords colliding.

The scene fell into chaos.

In the night sky.

Behind these dozen assassins, there was another masked figure.

The man's face was covered and his appearance could not be seen clearly. Only a pair of sharp eyes could be seen, staring at Lin Jiangnian's position in the dark.

When the house fell into chaos, he also attacked at the same time.

The strange figure disappeared from the spot, blowing a gust of wind, leaving a residual image on the spot.

The next second, it was already approaching Lin Jiangnian.

The murderous aura was approaching!

"Swish!"

Just as he was about to approach, a cold light suddenly flashed.

The next second!

"Ah!"

A sharp and miserable sound sounded instantly.

The masked figure trembled suddenly, and his figure stopped in place instantly.

He looked down suddenly, and saw that his right palm was cut off in a row.

Blood spurted out instantly.

His pupils suddenly shrank, and an unbelievable look of horror appeared on his face, and he looked up suddenly.

In his sight, a light-clothed girl appeared at some point.

The girl had a tender look, probably only in her teens, but her eyes were extremely cold, and she was filled with a cold aura that was completely inconsistent with her youth.

At this moment, she was standing in front of Lin Jiangnian without knowing when, and the sword in her arms had been unsheathed, and was holding it in her hand, facing this person coldly.

The sword body was filled with a trace of coldness, icy and piercing.

She stared at this person expressionlessly.

Danger!

Danger!!

A feeling of horror rose in this person's heart in an instant. It was a survival instinct that made him realize that this young girl in front of him posed a great threat to him...

How could there be such a master around the prince of Lin?

Something was wrong!

I was fooled!

Retreat!

This was the only thought in his mind at the moment. He didn't even see how the girl attacked clearly, and his palm was cut off.

The intense pain and stimulation reminded him... He had met a master!

Run!

Without any hesitation, he suddenly turned around and planned to escape from here.

However, the next second, his whole body trembled again.

The cold sword was pressed against his neck at some point. The piercing coldness instantly filled his body, making him stiff.

"If you move again, you will die!"

The girl's cold and emotionless tone came.

Dead silence.

It was chilling.

He didn't dare to move!

The next second, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he fell down softly.

When he fell, he only saw the girl's cold eyes and the warm smile of the prince of Lin next to him.

"An Ning is so amazing!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The usual An Ning and the An Ning at this moment are completely two different looks.

An Ning is timid and doesn't like to talk on weekdays. She is even scared every time she sees Lin Jiangnian. She is a weak little girl.

But An Ning now, where is the weakness of the past?

This temperament, this appearance, this figure, and this sword-holding posture... the style of a master!

Moreover, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the masked figure lying on the ground. This person's martial arts is not weak, but it's a pity that he met An Ning.

An Ning's attack was not as weak as usual. He cut off the opponent's palm in an instant with his sword, making the opponent lose his combat effectiveness.

Straightforward and neat.

As expected of being taught by Li Piaomiao, the attack was ruthless!

An Ning had a stern face. After dealing with the man in front of her, she slowly put away her sword and happened to look at Lin Jiangnian's warm smile. Hearing Lin Jiangnian's praise, her expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

The coldness just now disappeared in an instant, replaced by a little at a loss, a little panicked and looking away, lowering her head.

This scene made Lin Jiangnian's heart move.

It's really a contrast!

This face is so cute.

I want to pinch it!

…

At this moment, the assassination in the courtyard also came to an end quickly.

Although Lin Jiangnian did not bring many masters with him when he left the city this time, he brought first-class masters.

In addition, An Ning just took action in an instant and solved the masked figure. This scene was seen by the remaining others, and their faces changed immediately.

They appeared here today, not to kill people. Now that they saw such a master around the other party, they immediately lost the desire to fight.

"Retreat!"

The remaining black shadows retreated immediately.

They came with great momentum, turned around in embarrassment when they ran, and fled hastily over the wall.

"Your Highness, do you want to chase?!"

Lin Qingqing saw that these black shadows were about to run away, and immediately asked Lin Jiangnian for instructions.

"Forget it, let them go, be careful not to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Lin Jiangqing shook his head lightly and did not let Lin Qingqing chase.

"Keep an eye on Chen Junru and Xu Xianglian, don't let any accidents happen to them."

Lin Jiangnian glanced back. At this moment, Chen Junru had passed out. Xu Xianglian on the other side was also huddled in the corner, looking at the scene around him with horrified eyes.

"yes."

Lin Qingqing nodded and stopped chasing. She ordered the remaining guards to start cleaning up the scene, and at the same time asked people to protect Chen Junru and Xu Xianglian.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the masked figure who was lying on the ground and was captured alive. He approached him, squatted in front of him, and pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a face of about thirty years old. Male appearance.

At this moment, the man's face was dripping with cold sweat, and his whole body was shaking due to the severe pain of his broken hand. His eyes were frightened and he stared at Lin Jiangnian warily.

"Tell me, who are you? Who sent you here? What's the purpose?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

But this man just snorted coldly: "Today I admit defeat, you can kill or behead me as you please, don't expect me to betray you!"

"Hey, don't you see that you are quite loyal?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows: "Do you know who I am?"

The man snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know Prince Lin?"

"It seems that you are here for this prince?"

Lin Jiangnian sneered: "Now that you know who I am, how dare you speak so wildly?"

"Do you think you can hide your identity from me?"

This person obviously didn't take Lin Jiangnian's words seriously, and snorted coldly: "I've already told you, I'll kill you or chop him into pieces!"

Since he has failed, he will naturally admit defeat!

"Assassinating my prince is not as simple as killing you!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and said calmly: "You have to think carefully, not only you are going to die, your family is going to die, your friends are going to die... all your nine clans will be killed by this prince, even your family Ancestors, this prince will also send people to dig their graves and hang them at the gate of Linjiang City for the public to see, what will happen if they assassinate me..."

The man's face instantly became extremely ugly, and he glared angrily: "Lin Jiangnian, how dare you?!"

"You are despicable and will bring harm to your family. If you have the ability, come after me!"

This person seemed to have never expected that Lin Jiangnian would be so vicious. Not only did he want to kill his entire family, but he even wanted to spare his ancestors' graves... what a beast!

"Why do I want to come after you? What's the point of killing you? If you want to kill, you have to leave no one behind..."

Lin Jiangnian said calmly: "So, have you considered whether to continue to talk about professional ethics, or choose to protect your family and your ancestral graves?"

He can only choose between professional ethics and family.

This man's face was extremely ugly, his eyes full of anger, and he stared at Lin Jiangnian, hesitant.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and stared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely: "Young Master, don't think that I will be fooled by you. Even if I tell you, you will never let my family go, right?"

"You have misunderstood me. I always keep my word. As long as you tell me, I will promise not to dig up your ancestral grave... How about that?"

"brute!"

When he heard that Lin Jiangnian was going to dig his ancestral grave, this man's eyes were filled with anger, and he almost wanted to stand up and fight Lin Jiangnian.

For people in this era, ancestral graves are more important than life. If the ancestral graves are dug up, how can they have the dignity to see their ancestors in the future?

mean!

So despicable!

He stared at Lin Jiangnian, but Lin Jiangnian just looked at him indifferently. Although there was a smile on his face, the smile made people shudder no matter how he looked.

He shuddered suddenly, and finally gritted his teeth: "If I tell you, can you let go of my... ancestors?"

"That's natural."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"Then come closer and I'll tell you..."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and moved slightly closer.

Just as Lin Jiangnian was approaching, a fierce light suddenly burst out from the man's eyes.

"Young Prince, go to hell!"

Originally this man was extremely weak, but suddenly he burst out with majestic momentum and slapped Lin Jiangnian's chest with a palm.

An Ning, who was standing next to Lin Jiangnian, instantly realized something was wrong and his eyes suddenly changed.

"Small……"

But she didn't have time to remind him, the distance was too close, and before she could finish speaking, this person's sneak attack suddenly struck.

His eyes are fierce!

Being able to kill a Prince Lin and die with him is enough!

But in the next second, a majestic aura erupted from Prince Lin in front of him, who looked harmless and even a little weak.

Hot!

Devouring him instantly.

His palm landed on this breath, and it was swallowed up instantly.

"puff……"

A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and he lay on the ground with a pale face. He looked up in horror and disbelief at the young man in front of him, who was still harmless to humans and animals: "You, you..."

He never expected that the Prince Lin in front of him would actually hide his secrets? !

He is actually an out-and-out master? !

"The opportunity has been given to you, but you are useless!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him: "Since you don't want to protect your nine tribes, then I will help you."

After saying that, Lin Jiangnian stood up slowly and said slowly: "Qingqing, find out this person's identity, dig three feet into the ground, and eradicate the roots!"

"yes!"

Lin Qingqing nodded with indifferent eyes.

The man on the ground had dull eyes and was already desperate. It was not until Lin Qingqing drew his sword and approached that a trace of panic flashed across his pupils, and he finally became afraid.

"Don't, don't kill me..."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian turned around and looked at An Ning who was still in a daze: "Let's go."

An Ning came back to her senses, looked at the man on the ground, then looked at Lin Jiangnian, and followed him.

He lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "What's wrong with you?"

An Ning secretly looked up at Lin Jiangnian, then quickly lowered her head and shook her head. After a while, she finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "You, you really want to, want to..."

"Dig up his ancestral grave?"

Hearing this question, Lin Jiangnian stopped and looked back at An Ning.

Unexpectedly, she was still struggling with this question.

"Why do you ask that?"

An Ning lowered her head and shook her head, as if she didn't know what to say, with a little entanglement on her face.

"Don't worry, it won't happen... This prince is not that reckless."

Lin Jiangnian laughed: "That was to scare him."

"Then he..."

"He must die."

Lin Jiangnian said that digging up the ancestral grave was just to scare this person, he was not so crazy, but this person wanted to assassinate him, he couldn't let him live.

"Oh."

An Ning nodded as if she understood: "Then..."

She asked carefully again: "Haven't you found out who sent him yet?"

"No need to check."

Lin Jiangnian looked into An Ning's smart and puzzled eyes, and chuckled: "You can guess it."

As he said, Lin Jiangnian glanced at the yard: "At this late hour, a group of assassins suddenly appeared in this small village in the wilderness... Who do you think sent them?"

An Ning was stunned, who sent them?

She subconsciously followed Lin Jiangnian's line of sight and realized that they were in a small mountain village.

How could someone suddenly come to assassinate in such a small mountain village?

This is unusual, unless it is...

An Ning seemed to suddenly think of something, opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise: "Chen, someone from the Chen family?"

"Smart!"

Lin Jiangnian praised in a low voice.

Even An Ning could guess it, it was already obvious.

"Let's go."

Seeing An Ning was still in a daze, Lin Jiangnian subconsciously reached out and touched her little head: "Tonight, it's still lively."

An Ning's delicate body was stunned in place, staring at Lin Jiangnian in a daze.

The next second, her fair little face flushed again, and she lowered her head in panic.

Somewhat at a loss.

When she came to her senses, she found that Lin Jiangnian had walked to the gate of the courtyard and was looking back at her: "Huh? Why don't you leave?"

An Ning quickly lowered her head again, hugged the sword in her arms tightly, followed Lin Jiangnian's footsteps, and left the house.

The small mountain village was silent.

The fight in the house came quickly and ended quickly, and did not attract the attention of the people in the small mountain village.

After Lin Jiangnian and his party quickly cleaned up the scene, they left the small mountain village and prepared to return to the city.

Just as everyone left the small mountain village, returned to the town, left the town from the small road, and were about to return to the official road.

The carriage stopped silently again.

"Your Highness!"

Lin Qingqing's low and vigilant voice came from outside the carriage.

Hearing this voice, An Ning, who had been lowering her head in the carriage, seemed to realize something. She instantly tightened her sword in her hand and looked up at Lin Jiangnian. Her cold eyes were full of vigilance and uneasiness.

Lin Jiangnian signaled her not to worry, slowly lifted the curtain and looked outside the carriage.

Several figures appeared on the small road not far away, as if they had been waiting for a long time.

The surroundings were silent, and an invisible oppressive and murderous atmosphere enveloped them.

And in the crowd, a middle-aged figure was sitting on the horse's back, looking expressionless.

It was Chen Hongsheng!
