Yan Ling Yan was shocked when he saw Ling Xiao kill the two of them so decisively. What a cruel thing it was, but she did it so neatly and decisively. How much hatred should this have for the Zuoqiu family to make her heart so hard? Watching people fall, she can still be so plain, as if the two people who died in front of her had nothing to do with her.
If Yan Lingyan can feel that she has changed from the relationship these days, it seems that she has changed a different person. Then from the scene just now, he really felt that she had completely changed and become terrifying. Such a bloody thing is afraid that ordinary people will not be able to do it.
Fortunately, Zhong Limu is not here, otherwise, Yanling Yan really can't imagine how Zhong Limu should feel when he sees this situation, what pain should he have in his heart, his innocent sister has become a murderer.
Lu Ci's movements in his hands paused, and his eyes stared directly at the whole process of the two falling to the ground, until two streams of blood spread on the ground and seeped into the soil, he reacted and gave a thumbs up in front of Ling Xiao: "Woman, good swordsmanship." ”
I've seen someone kill, but I've never seen someone kill so evilly, a sword swinged, blood flew out, but the person concerned didn't even blink his eyes, and his expression was so indifferent. Lu Cidu began to wonder, is this still a weak woman?
The finch on the side also gasped, and his feet took two steps back uncontrollably, and his face was a little pale. Since she was a child, she has never seen such a scene. Although she has been with the second miss of her family for so long, it is the first time to really see two living people die in front of her eyes like this, how can she not be frightened and frightened in her heart, and it is also the first time to see the terrible side of the second miss of her family.
Even Jing Shenlu didn't expect Ling Xiao to make such a move, and the speed was so fast that he couldn't react. He looked at the blood-stained ground with a calm face, and then looked up at Ling Xiao's slightly distracted face, a strange color flashing in his eyes.
After a moment's pause, Jing Shenlu calmly took the blood-dripping cold sword from Ling Xiao's hand, stretched out his other hand to hold her wrist, and said softly, "Let's go, get out of here first." He realized he shouldn't have called her, or he wouldn't. From the change in her expression, he spied the trace of confusion, and seemed to be aware of the problem, and could feel her complicated feelings at the moment.
As soon as he took two steps, Jing Shenlu paused, thinking that it seemed that he had left Yan Ling last aside, so he looked back and said, "Brother Yan, I'll send Xiao Xiao back to the room first, and I'll talk about something later." ”
"Finch, don't be afraid, you'll get used to this kind of thing when you see it too much, let's go." Ling Xiao only lost his mind and recovered in an instant, his steps were calm, and he glanced back at the finch, his tone was flat.
Que'er hurriedly settled down and turned around to catch up with Ling Xiao. And Lu Ci, who was squatting on the ground, couldn't help but roll his eyes at what Ling Xiao said, was this still used to it? Even if he is afraid that he has not achieved such a wide heart, right?
There was also the incident of that night, when Lu Ci learned from his subordinates, he directly felt that this woman was crazy, and she was so cruel that she was a mess, but fortunately, her martial arts had not yet reached the point of reaching the peak, except for the Cold Heart Sutra, she could barely fight with him.
But she is still in her growth period, if she really practices a super martial arts, she must not become a female demon. I feel that the lord of the mansion has raised a docile beast by his side, which seems to be a little dangerous! Ordinary people can't control it, but fortunately, Jing Shenlu has this ability. And this beast does not indiscriminately hurt people, at least not its own people.
Yan Ling Yan slightly hooked his lips and nodded to Jing Shenlu, looked at a few backs that gradually faded away, and walked into the corridor, the unsheathed cold sword in Jing Shenlu's hand was still dripping blood, winding all the way to the blood.
Back in the courtyard, Jing Shenlu handed the sword to Qi'er along with the scabbard, and told her to find a rag to wipe it clean. He took Ling Xiao's hand and came to the pear tree and sat side by side on the swing with her.
The finch left with the hilt of the sword, and she couldn't hide the fear in her heart, and she didn't dare to look at the sword at all, it was stained with human blood, not ordinary blood, how could she not be afraid? But she also understood what her cousin meant, and he was deliberately helping her overcome this fear. After all, in the rivers and lakes, such things happen from time to time, and maybe she will encounter a similar scene next time.
Ling Xiao stared at the ground with scattered dead leaves, was silent for a while, and shook his head slightly: "I don't know what's going on, it didn't seem to be my intention just now, it was completely an unconscious action, and there was a hatred in my heart for no reason, it didn't seem to be mine, and it seemed to come from the subconscious." Although I was murdered by the Zuoqiu family once, I am not so resentful. Her voice was very low, as if she was talking to herself, but it was for Jing Shenlu.
"Xiao Xiao doesn't have to care, these two people are going to be killed, it doesn't matter if you do it in advance, don't think about it." Jing Shenlu held Ling Xiao's hand tightly, turned his head to look at her, and his comforting voice was very gentle.
He understood her mood at the moment, and perhaps only he could understand it among all people, because she had no secrets in front of him. He also knows that she has experienced more than 20 years of tempering, and the perseverance of her heart has long been very incomparable, and that kind of self-reliance and that kind of strength have long been deeply imprinted in the depths of her soul. Therefore, no matter what she wants to do, as long as it is roughly right and does not violate morality, he will support and understand, and will not interfere.
According to the clues provided by the two secret agents, in the end, more than 30 killers sent by the Zuoqiu family to lurk in the shadows, including several secret agents, were beaten together, and this wave was uprooted.
As for whether he would be sent a second or third wave of killers, Ling Xiao didn't care, as many kills as he came, as long as he didn't alarm other forces, these forces naturally included Yanling Zhan. As for who sent her assassin that night, she didn't have time to care, and the top priority was to go to Yiyue Palace and solve the matter that had dragged on for several months.
Although she didn't have time to care about the assassination that night, on the way to Yiyue Palace, she also secretly speculated and analyzed, and almost came to a deference, thinking that she was just the secondary target of the killer, and the main target was Yan Linghan or her third brother.
If the main target is her third brother, then she really can't determine the real purpose of the mastermind behind it, and there is a possibility that the other party has a feud with Zhong Li's family.
But after thinking about it carefully, it doesn't make sense, she asked Zhong Limu before, what is certain is that she has not made a new enmity with anyone, and if it is an old enmity, then why did she choose to do it this time? Before that, Zhong Limu often traveled far away because of official business, and he never had an accident.
Besides, this time there is also a Yanling last by his side, if it is an old enemy, no matter how stupid the enemy is, I am afraid that he will not choose this long-distance action, the assassination of the prince is a capital crime, once it is found out, then the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely suffer. Thinking about it like this, it seems that the possibility that the other party's real target is Zhong Limu is automatically eliminated.
Excluding Zhong Limu, then the person the other party wants to kill naturally falls on Yan Linglast, which also implicates herself and becomes the other party's secondary target.
This shows that she and Yan Linglast are also in the way of the other party, and the other party wants to get rid of them as soon as possible, but she is not the main one. When you think about it this way, there are more possibilities, and in general, it must be involved in the battle for that position. However, it is indeed too difficult to really guess who is behind the scenes, after all, the current power between the DPRK and China is too complicated, and some people are deeply hidden in this competition.
It's just that in this battle for the crown prince, if she is also in the way of the other party, then from the perspective of macro interests, there is only one possibility. The other party didn't want to see Zhongli's family marry the six princes, because the valuable things on her body were just such a marriage contract.
If Zhong Li's family and the six princes successfully marry, then the six princes will get a great boost to seize the prince, and Zhong Liyan is favored by the emperor, and these two factors are also the reason why Yan Lingzhan wants to marry her. But as long as Zhong Liyu dies, then everything is no longer possible.
Besides, the mastermind behind the scenes actually wants to blame the Zuoqiu family, so it should also have a hostile relationship with the Zuoqiu family. It's just that she doesn't know enough about the situation in the court now to make another inference.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is just the act of a big family that married Yanlingzhan, because of that marriage contract, she blocked the way for some people to become concubines, and the other party still didn't want her to marry Yanlingzhan.
And the assassination of Yanling last is completely to help Yanling Zhan remove stumbling blocks. She had heard Zhong Limu say that this was Yan Linglast's first long trip, and those people may have already killed Yan Linglast, but they have never been able to find a suitable opportunity.
After thinking about it, although most of the suspicious people have been eliminated, the rest will have to wait until the future to return to the capital and understand the situation before making inferences. But when she returns to Jundu, it will be six or seven years later.
In fact, she thought that there was no need to wait for her to speculate on such a thing, Zhong Limu and the others would definitely analyze the suspicious people one by one after returning to Beijing, and then investigate, and the matter would always come to light. Zhong Limu and they have been in such an environment all year round, and their abilities are not much stronger than her, and they have always been sensitive to these things. And what she has to deal with is only those people in the Zuoqiu family who are specifically targeting her, and she will wait until the future.
And the reason why she decided that she was the secondary target of the other party, and Yan Linghan was the main target, was entirely the result of her comparison of the two assassinations that happened one after another. If the target was really just her, then those killers wouldn't have been in such a hurry to do it the first time, because on the day they assassinated Zhong Limu, those people didn't know her whereabouts.
If they really want to kill her as soon as possible, then they can be like the killers of the Zuoqiu family. Leave the errand of finding someone to Zhong Limu and Yan Linglast, and these people only need to follow Yan Linglast and them secretly, and when the three of them get together, they will be caught again, which seems to be more convenient.
But they didn't. As long as Zhongli Mu and Yan Ling are dead, then her life and death will not matter, the most important thing is that no one will save her, and she will not be able to return to Jundu, she is not a stumbling block in this way, the other party is not as ruthless as the Zuoqiu family, and she has to take her life. And the reason why he did it to her that night was because the other party knew that she was not flying through the cliff and was safe and sound, and he was worried that she would go back with Zhong Limu.
