Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

It was late at night, and under the dim moonlight, Lin Jiangnian stood up with difficulty and walked to the front of the black-robed leader.

He gently pushed away the support of Li Piaomiao beside him, squatted down with a staggering step, and looked at the black-robed leader in front of him.

At this moment, the hideous bronze mask was stained with blood, and it looked even more terrifying. But the exposed eyes seemed to be absent-minded, still in a state of shock after hearing the news.

Until Lin Jiangnian slowly reached out to untie the mask on his face.

Pull it off!

The next second, a face covered with blood came into view.

This is a face that looks like a withered face, vicissitudes, old, like an old man in his twilight years, full of wrinkles, and looks like he will not live long.

His face is withered and yellow, without a trace of blood, and the blood all over his face looks extremely hideous and terrifying.

The black-robed leader wears a mask, giving people the feeling of a middle-aged man in his prime. However, the real leader under the bronze mask is like an old man who is about to die.

At this moment, this face was completely lifeless, as if the goal that had been pursued for many years was shattered.

That feeling of despair arose spontaneously.

Lin Jiangnian quietly looked at the old face in front of him, looking at this familiar face, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and then returned to calm.

"It's you!"

His tone was calm, as if he had already predicted the true identity of the leader.

There were not too many surprises.

However, Li Piaomiao, who had been following Lin Jiangnian, looked at the true appearance of the leader. In an instant, a look of astonishment emerged.

Even though the eldest princess had a cold temperament, she couldn't help but be moved when she saw the true appearance and identity of the black-robed leader.

The emotion of astonishment emerged from her beautiful face.

"Chen Zhao?!"

A cold voice sounded.

Li Piaomiao's eyes instantly became sharp, and she stared at the black-robed leader.

The black-robed leader... was actually Chen Zhao? !

How could this be possible?

But...

This old face in front of me, this familiar look, who else could it be but Chen Zhao? !

As the most trusted old eunuch beside his father, how could Li Piaomiao not recognize this person?

But he...

Didn't he die during the coup in the palace half a year ago?

Why, is he here again? !

At this moment, Li Piaomiao was uneasy, frowning, staring at the black-robed leader without saying a word.

"I didn't expect that we would see each other again one day!"

Lin Jiangnian squatted on the ground, looking at the familiar face in front of him, and sneered: "I didn't expect that you are not dead?!"

On the night of New Year's Eve, the third prince rebelled, triggering a series of subsequent events.

At the same time, Chen Zhao, the most trusted old eunuch hiding beside the late emperor, murdered the late emperor, and used the late emperor's will to trick Li Piaomiao and Lin Jiangnian away, intending to trap the two to death in the secret room.

When Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao came out of the secret room, they learned that Chen Zhao had been hacked to death by Zhiyuan and the imperial guards in the palace.

Chen Zhao's body was hung outside the gate of the capital to be exposed to the sun!

But now, Chen Zhao, who was dead that day, appeared here intact.

Moreover, he has become the leader of the Tianshen Sect!

To be precise... maybe the leader of the Tianshen Sect has always been another identity of his?

And his death in the palace of the capital that day was just a step in his plan to escape?

Now when he saw this leader, Lin Jiangnian instantly understood a lot of things.

This black-robed leader is at the level of a half-step grandmaster. Even though he was seriously injured by Lin Heng and his strength was weakened, he should not be underestimated.

How could a half-step grandmaster be surrounded and suppressed in the palace that day?

The imperial guards in the palace could not stop him at all, unless... all this was his plan!

"It seems that this prince still underestimated you!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed.

Under the silent night, the black-robed leader was weak and motionless.

The pair of dull eyes gradually came back to his senses. He stared at Lin Jiangnian quietly with a low voice.

"This sect should have killed you earlier!"

"There is no regret medicine in this world."

Lin Jiangnian said lightly: "And you may not be able to kill this prince!"

The black-robed leader was silent.

He was too tired!

When his dantian was destroyed and his breath was weak, his life had gradually come to an end.

Now, he is just lingering.

His eyes were slightly absent-minded, looking at the sky, wondering what he was thinking. His old face seemed to have a little more vicissitudes, and seemed to be relieved.

"You have tried so hard to hide your identity and secretly control the Tianshen Sect. What is the ultimate purpose?"

Lin Jiangnian stared at him: "Is it just for the Xuanyang Map?"

Lin Jiangnian had a hunch that the leader must have a big plan!

He hid in the palace and ambushed the late emperor. He murdered the late emperor half a year ago and tried to kill Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao. After the plan was exposed, he had to fake his death to get away.

What is the purpose of all he did?

What is his purpose in hiding his identity and controlling the Heavenly God Sect?

All this is still puzzling!

Moreover, Lin Jiangnian vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell for a moment.

The black-robed leader retracted his gaze and fell on Lin Jiangnian, staring at him for a few seconds.

"Since ancient times, the victors have been kings and the losers have been bandits. Back then, our sect was not as skilled as others and was severely injured by Lin Heng. Our sect has been planning for ten years, but still has not found a chance to take revenge..."

The leader's tone was hoarse and emotional, as if he was unwilling to accept it, but also seemed to be relieved, which was unpredictable.

"However, everything is not settled yet!"

A sneer suddenly appeared on the black-robed leader's face, and an indescribable sharp look flashed across his face.

"Everything is not over yet..."

Speaking of this, the black-robed leader suddenly trembled with excitement.

His eyes gradually became a little eager, slightly hot like a devout believer, his breathing became rapid, and his limp body trembled suddenly.

"Also, maybe you are right..."

The black-robed leader’s voice was hoarse, as if he was mumbling to himself. He stared blankly at the dark night sky, his eyes widened.

After a while, his whole body suddenly twitched.

Then, there was no movement!

Heaven and earth became silent again.

Lin Jiangnian watched this scene quietly, and only after the black-robed leader had completely stopped making any movement did he reach out.

"Dead."

Lin Jiangnian's tone was calm and somewhat emotional.

This black-robed leader!

Dead!

This time, there is no way to die.

Lin Jiangnian's mood suddenly became complicated.

He had been planning for so long, just to get rid of this serious problem that had always been his. But when it was really eradicated, Lin Jiangnian felt a little confused for no reason.

He squatted on the ground and looked at the body of the black-robed leader for a long time. The other party refused to close his eyes, his eyes were round and his expression was ferocious and terrifying.

The majestic leader of the Celestial Sect, a half-step master, never expected to end up in this situation.

It's very sad.

Lin Jiangnian squatted on the ground for a long time, then slowly stood up and looked back at Li Miaomiao.

Seeing her cold eyes still falling on the black-robed leader, her cold eyebrows were still slightly frowning, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What's wrong?"

Li Miaomiao slowly came back to her senses, glanced at Lin Jiangnian, and shook her head slightly, but her thoughts were still a little solemn.

"You didn't expect that the leader is Chen Zhao, right?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke softly. When he learned the news, he was shocked for a long time.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

This leader has always covered his face with a bronze mask and never showed it to others easily. Isn't it just to hide his true identity?

It also means that his true identity cannot be seen by anyone!

This explanation is indeed reasonable.

Li Piaomiao was silent, her eyes fell on the leader's body again, and she said nothing.

In the distance, in the darkness, several figures appeared from far to near.

The first to appear in sight were the six black-armored masters, followed closely by the prince's personal army.

Then, there is King Lin’s army!

"Your Highness!"

Lin Qingqing, dressed in smart clothes and looking tired, came in a hurry: "Your Highness, Princess, you..."

Lin Qingqing was anxiously stepping forward, and her eyes suddenly fell on the body lying on the ground next to her. After taking a closer look, Lin Qingqing was immediately stunned: "This, is this the leader?!"

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\\\\Nine\\\\\\Book\\\\\\!)

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qingqing's face showed surprise: "The leader is dead?!"

"Dead."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"Very good!"

Lin Qingqing's eyes widened, her expression ecstatic and relieved.

No one knows better than her how much pressure the leader brings tonight!

She was not even qualified to participate in tonight's plan to encircle and suppress the leader.

His Highness almost revealed all his cards, but he still almost failed to do anything to the leader, and even His Highness was put in danger.

How can this not make Lin Qingqing fearful?

Until it was confirmed that the leader was dead, Lin Qingqing finally let go of her hanging heart.

Behind him, after learning that the leader was dead, it was obvious that the six black-armored masters were relieved at the same time.

The leader put too much pressure on them tonight. The six of them were all of different sizes and suffered serious injuries. If this fails to kill the leader, it may be impossible to kill him next time.

Fortunately, he is finally dead!

Lin Qingqing walked quickly towards the leader's body, just in case, she planned to confirm the leader's life and death again. At the same time, for the sake of caution, two more cuts... must be done to him to death.

The kind that can't survive at all!

Lin Qingqing walked up to the leader. When her eyes fell on the leader's ferocious face, she was shocked at first. When she saw his appearance clearly, her expression suddenly changed: "This, this is not..."

Lin Qingqing suddenly turned her head and looked at His Highness in shock and disbelief: "Your Highness, he, he is not..."

Obviously, Lin Qingqing recognized the leader's appearance.

Lin Jiangnian nodded: "He didn't die last time."

"I see……"

Lin Qingqing's eyes were shocked, but the disbelief on her face still hadn't completely faded.

Obviously, the fact that the leader was Chen Zhao was hard for her to digest for a while.

However, she quickly calmed down.

"Your Highness, what should I do with his body?"

"Burn it."

Lin Jiangnian casually said that the dead leader was of no use to him.

Lin Qingqing nodded and was about to arrange for someone to deal with it when she suddenly heard Li Miaomiao's cold voice.

"etc."

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Li Miaomiao, wondering: "What's wrong?"

Li Piaomiao looked away and said calmly: "Keep it for now."

"Keep it?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her.

"There are some things I haven't figured out yet."

Li Piaomiao still frowned, wondering what she was thinking.

"That's fine."

Lin Jiangnian saw that she was in a low mood, so he didn't ask any more questions. He told Lin Qingqing: "Preserve his body first."

"Yes."

Lin Qingqing nodded in agreement and went to deal with the body.

"Princess, Your Highness!"

At this time, An Ning and Jinxiu appeared not far away.

An Ning held a sword, followed by Jinxiu. After hearing that the leader was dead, the sisters rushed over immediately.

An Ning's pretty face was cold, her eyes were cold and alert, and she was still looking around, her body tense.

Jinxiu looked around carefully and glanced at the guards who were dealing with the body not far away: "Is the leader dead?"

"Dead."

Lin Jiangnian nodded.

"That's good!"

Jinxiu was also deeply relieved when she saw this. She subconsciously patted her round chest and breathed a sigh of relief on her beautiful face.

Although she didn't participate in it tonight, she also knew the degree of danger. Now that the leader is dead and the enemy is finally eliminated, we can breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Jinxiu suddenly realized something and was shocked: "Your Highness, are you injured?!"

Only then did Jinxiu see that His Highness was in a mess, looked extremely miserable, and his face was a little pale, obviously injured.

Hearing this, An Ning's eyes, which had been moving away, subconsciously fell on Lin Jiangnian. When he saw Lin Jiangnian's expression, his face changed slightly.

"It's nothing serious."

Lin Jiangnian rubbed his chest. There was indeed nothing wrong with his body. He didn't hurt his bones. He would recover after a period of recuperation.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back and rest!"

Lin Jiangnian waved his hand, asked them to leave, and looked at Jinxiu: "Didn't I ask you to stay in the town? Why are you following me?"

"Aren't you worried about your Highness and the princess?"

Jinxiu's eyes were dim: "Your Highness, the princess, and An Ning are in front, how can I feel at ease hiding in the back alone?"

Lin Jiangnian was a little moved, and reached out to touch Jinxiu's head, but was dodged by Jinxiu.

"Your Highness, don't treat me as a little girl!"

Jinxiu rolled her eyes, looked at the princess who was thinking about something, ran to the princess, and took her arm: "Princess, let's go home!"

Li Piaomiao came back to her senses, looked at Jinxiu, and said nothing.

And Jinxiu seemed to notice the princess's abnormality and was a little surprised: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

"Are you injured too?"

Jinxiu immediately went to check on her own princess nervously.

Li Piaomiao shook her head slightly, looking at the guards who were dealing with the corpse of the leader not far away.

After taking one last look, he retracted his gaze and left with An Ning and Jin Xiu.

The leader died, and tonight's plan finally came to an end.

After a busy night, what needs to be done now is to clean up the aftermath. The noise tonight was too loud, and it was impossible not to attract the attention of the people in the town.

However, Lin Jiangnian had already informed the government in advance. No matter what happened tonight, the government would not ask, and would also cooperate to appease the people.

The name of the prince of Lin was enough to make these officials cooperate honestly.

After confirming that the leader was dead, the six black-armored masters came to say goodbye to Lin Jiangnian, and then returned to Linjiang City overnight.

Their mission was completed, and they needed to return to Linjiang City as soon as possible to report to the prince.

While Lin Jiangnian was busy with the aftermath, a beautiful figure appeared quietly behind Lin Jiangnian, looking at the scene in front of him with a complicated look.

…
