Chapter 260: The Careerist is Angry
"Princess Zhaoying, the old man is here today. Every time there is a big mess in the rivers and lakes, it has nothing to do with your court. This mess started with the destruction of the Jinyuan Dart Bureau, but it was far from over. When I find out the truth and prove that this matter is related to you, the old man will come back to take your life. Farewell. ”
After saying that, Peng Ze turned around and beckoned to Li Yunxuan, "Let's go, Xuan'er, the person looking for her has already come." ”
The look in Li Yunxuan's eyes was a little complicated, she didn't talk to Shen Lanying anymore, she didn't even make eye contact, and she followed Peng Ze directly. The two of them braved the wind and disappeared in an instant.
It wasn't until the figures of the master and apprentice completely disappeared from sight that Shen Lanying suddenly lost her strength, staggered back two steps, and fell to the ground. When she confronted Peng Ze just now, she looked calm, but in fact, she was terrified in her heart. It is not terrible that the enemy is strong, what is terrible is the madness of the enemy. And Peng Ze is not only a madman, but also has an uncertain temperament, killing people like numbness, and if he can't tell him which of her words makes him unhappy, he will directly pinch her neck.
At this time, her mind relaxed, and she realized that she was sweating all over her body. While sitting on the ground gasping for breath, he pondered what Peng Ze had said. Peng Ze's last few words were really terrifying. The murder case of the Jinyuan Dart Bureau is related to Sikong Yan, and Peng Ze is about to find out the truth and is about to come back to take revenge.
Shen Lanying smiled bitterly, she had only thought about such a result when she was messing around with her brain, but when it really happened, she realized that the truth was beyond her control. The man she had a crush on killed her best friend's entire family, and then further amnesiac her in order to maximize her profits.
If she knew this was the case, she wouldn't have followed. Even if you are confused all the time, it is better than the torment after knowing everything. No wonder Sikong Yan always wouldn't let her inquire about these things.
And now, Peng Ze knows the truth of the matter and has begun to investigate. If he did find the evidence, what would be the consequences?
Shen Lanying only felt that her brain was blank and she had completely lost her ability to think. Sikong Yan has always been cautious, and she has never experienced the feeling of being caught.
She couldn't think of any other way, and the fear in her heart made her want to strike first. She can locate Li Yunxuan, and Peng Ze is Li Yunxuan's master, so it stands to reason that she will not be too far away from Li Yunxuan. Then Peng Ze's location is probably known. As long as she found a weapon with enough power from Qianjimen, it would not be difficult to kill Peng Ze.
But can she really do this? Take the life of an innocent person for her own survival? Moreover, Peng Ze is not only innocent, but also a victim.
This must not be ...... Is it possible to wait so long? Waiting for Peng Ze to find out the truth and break her body into pieces?
She has her own principles and will not do anything to survive for herself. But she is also a layman, and she does not have the ideological realm of sacrificing her life for righteousness. Moreover, the most important thing is that now she is not Shen Lanying, but Princess Zhaoying, and her life and death are related to the lives of more people.
Shen Lanying rubbed her temples and felt a little headache, this matter was more complicated than she thought, and it seemed that it had to be handled by Sikong Yan. However, Sikong Yan does not seem to be a moral person, and it is his style to strangle the danger factor in the cradle.
The entanglement in her heart seems to be superfluous, maybe Sikong Yan has other calculations in Peng Ze's matter.
Thinking of Sikong Yan, Shen Lanying couldn't help but smile bitterly again, if nothing else, she would have to face the careerist under the rage.
Shen Lanying stood up with the help of the cliff, but found that her hands and feet were still shaking uncontrollably, and it was difficult to even walk. With a helpless wry smile, she just discovered that she didn't seem to be as strong as she imagined. She was just able to barely keep calm in a moment of crisis, but she couldn't overcome the fear and cowardice in her heart at all.
Like now, she was still scared to death.
He took a deep breath of cold air, dusted off the soil on his clothes with inflexible movements, and then put away all the cult equipment on his body. In the process of sorting out her clothes, Shen Lanying felt a burst of pain gradually coming from her back, and it became more and more intense. It should have been a good fall when Peng Ze was thrown onto the stone wall just now. It seems to have been knocked on the leg and arm, but luckily it didn't hit the head. I'm not smart in the first place, and I should become mentally retarded if I knock it again.
Shen Lanying stood in place for a while, and then leaned on the cliff and walked back along the way she came.
Not long after she walked, she seemed to feel something in the dark, and the ghost made a god look up, and saw a figure in the distance, running towards her. It was the person she knew best, and although she couldn't see her face clearly with the light on her back, she would never admit her mistake.
Sikong Yan almost rushed all the way over, a little short of breath, Shen Lanying had known him for so long, and had never seen him so busy and flustered.
Seeing Sikong Yan, for some reason, she suddenly had an urge to cry, and hurriedly lowered her head and tried her best to hold back, quietly retracting the hand holding the cliff, she didn't want Sikong Yan to see her like a waste.
Sikong Yan saw Shen Lanying standing there safely, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down and walked towards her.
When the fear dissipated, the anger in my heart reappeared.
She lied to him and told him to go for a walk, but she was stunned and rode away.
When his subordinates reported the news to him, an uncontrollable fury rose in his heart. His trust was so cheap in her eyes, so cheap that she could live up to it at will.
This anger lasted until he rushed to Shaoyang Pass and learned the purpose of her sneaking out from the sentry guarding the pass, and the anger in his heart instantly disappeared, replaced by fear and panic.
It is not difficult to deduce that she has a way to track Li Yunxuan. Sikong Yan knew very well in her heart that if she really caught up with Li Yunxuan, she would be in danger.
He knew some inside stories about the imperial court and the rivers and lakes, and knew that Peng Ze had some friendship with Emperor Yonghui. If it was usual, Peng Ze would never hurt Emperor Hui's daughter, but after taking hundreds of lives in a row, no one could guarantee that he was still sane.
He didn't hesitate to gallop on horseback, only afraid that she would be in danger if it was too late. This woman, when she is the Guanyin of the world, she only knows how to worry about others all day long, but she has thought about herself and for him.
When he found her, Peng Ze was already gone, and after seeing that she was safe and sound, the anger of being deceived reappeared. She seems to be very willing to hide from him and make her own decisions, go to see Luo Xingyan privately, send people to spy on Li Yunxuan and Huang Zihuan, and from time to time she goes behind his back to meet Wang Yichen, does she really think that he is unaware of these small actions?
Sikong Yan walked up to her, looked at her condescendingly, pursed his lips and said nothing.
