When Yang Ning's back disappeared into the cabin, Lin Zhiheng came to his senses completely, and when he saw Ximen's cold face, he did not have the previous fear, and stepped forward to salute: "The subordinates are rude, please punish the commander." Ximen Rin glanced at him deeply, but he didn't mean to blame, no matter what the cause of this matter was, it was possible to create a talent for Youji, although there were some hidden worries in his heart, but Ximen Rin didn't show it, but just comforted a few words, and let Lin Zhiheng go down.

After Lin Zhiheng retreated, Ximen Rin's eyes became a little more profound, and he looked at Ling Chong with a smile and said, "Thank you Brother Ling for your help." ”

Ling Chong's expression was a little strange, and he sneered, "Lord Commander must have regretted it in his heart, right?"

Ximen Rin seemed to be slightly stunned, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he asked thoughtfully: "Why did Deputy Commander Ling say this, this seat was just ordered to come to extract the assassin Xu Zijing, and return to the letter to be disposed of by His Highness, how can he say that he regrets it and does not regret it?"

Ling Chong sneered: "I also know that in addition to dealing with Ling, the most important purpose of the commander going south is for this assassin. That's fine, if His Royal Highness the Prince values this matter, it doesn't matter if the Labor Commander goes south. It's just that I feel a little strange when I see this assassin, no matter how strong this young man's martial arts are, after all, he is just a young and knowledgeable child, His Royal Highness has military and political affairs in his heart, how can he worry about such a small assassin. In the past few days, seeing that the Lord Commander has been very kind to him, Ling Mou has suddenly opened his mouth, presumably the Lord Lord Commander wants to use such an ignorant young man to come to embarrass the king, right?"

Ximen Rin said with a smile: "Why did the deputy commander say this? The king is also the benefactor of this throne, and he is also the grandfather of His Royal Highness, how can this seat have any disrespectful behavior, not to mention that the king is a dignified and upright lord of seclusion, where does this seat have any ability to embarrass the king?"

Ling Chong said with an awe-inspiring expression: "This time, His Royal Highness was assassinated in Yueyang, rumors spread inside and outside Youji, all said that it was the king's order, Chunshuitang took the opportunity to make waves, although the commander ordered a strict prohibition, but he also used this reason to purge dissidents, most of the military intelligence department's manpower in Yueyang is now life and death, what Wei Bai has done in Yueyang, do you still want Ling to say it directly?" Originally, Ling thought that most of this assassin had been bought by you, and might even have been a subordinate of His Highness, if it weren't for the fear that the Lord Commander had set a trap and wanted to kill him with a knife, and use Ling's hand to kill him, and then put this unshirkable responsibility on the king, Ling would have already taken action. ”

Hearing this, Ximen Rin sneered: "Deputy Commander Ling is only afraid that he is confused, even if it is found out that the mastermind of the assassination of His Royal Highness is the king, I am afraid that we will only dare to perfunctory past, will we really offend the king and let His Highness bear the unfilial name of persecuting the righteous ancestor?"

Ling Chong said coldly: "Don't say that this matter must have nothing to do with the king, even if it is really related, Ling also knows that His Royal Highness the Prince will not make it public, and will even cover it up in many ways, this time the Lord Commander has already pushed this matter to the head of Chunshui Hall? But the Lord Lord will definitely not mind that the people inside Youji know that it is the King who intends to assassinate His Royal Highness." Nowadays, although there are two forces within Youji, the king and His Royal Highness, but except for a few important ministers, the position of others is actually not clear, some people are willing to respect the king's orders, but they will not exclude His Highness from inheriting the throne, and some people will obey His Highness's orders, but they will not obey His Highness's orders to oppose the king. Doesn't the Lord Commander just want the king's reputation to be discredited, for the Youji boy, it is a matter of course to support the prince of the county lord himself, although the king is resolutely opposed, they will also understand the king's painstaking efforts, but as long as the king competes with His Royal Highness the prince openly, most of them will only watch, if the king uses conspiracy and tricks to harm His Royal Highness, then it will cause the king to give up the old hatred of the county lord's support in the past, and the viciousness of the heart of the commander of Simon is really incomparable. ”

Ximen Rin smiled faintly when he heard this, but his handsome face became more and more cold and cold, his eyes flashed with a faint murderous intent, and his right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword wrapped around his waist with "a zhang red" wrapped in black gold silk.

Ling Chong seemed to be suddenly unaware of Ximen Rin's killing intent, and still said loudly: "But no matter how rampant the rumors are, if there is no real evidence, it is absolutely impossible to achieve the purpose of the Ximen Commander, so the Commander will treat this assassin so politely, and if he wants to use him to accuse the king, or there is no need to involve the king, as long as a few important ministers who support the king are removed, the purpose of the leader will be achieved." ”

Ximen Rin's eyes became clear and transparent, even a little softer, and his already handsome face was even more smiling, he chuckled: "Originally, the deputy commander was such a smart person, Brother Ling has heard the truth that being smart is mistaken by being smart, His Royal Highness attaches great importance to Brother Ling, and even arranged for Brother Ling to go to the border to guard it, so as not to let Brother Ling be a good man and get entangled in the quagmire of power struggle, but Brother Ling is so ignorant of advancing and retreating, he really doesn't want to live." He said vicious words, but he talked with a smile on his face.

This was the true face of the great commander of Yanshan Wei who killed people with a smile, Ling Chong didn't know how many times he had seen Ximen Rin's decision to kill, and naturally knew that if he was not careful at this moment, he would no longer have any life, but he had no scruples, and said frankly: "Your Highness is very loving, Ling Chong has a sense of guilt, but if someone wants to damage the reputation of the king, it is Ling Chong's broken bones, and that person cannot be allowed to succeed." Originally, Ling saw that you and Xu Zijing were very close, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only force a smile, hoping to find an opportunity to escape back and let Wang Shang prepare early. But today, when I saw the demeanor of Prince Zijing, I knew that Ling was the heart of a villain, even if Commander Ximen had such a plan, a character like Prince Zijing would never go against his will, and he would not even be perfunctory about the outcome of a small bet, not to mention a major event related to the reputation of others. ”

Ximen Rin's eyes were a little more cold, but there was a little less killing intent, and he said lightly: "Even if you really think so, you should be vague about it, why do you find it clear at this time, aren't you afraid that this seat will kill you?"

Ling Chong sneered: "The Great Commander is scheming, how many smart people will inevitably fall into your court, not to mention a young man like Zijing Gongzi, the two of you gamble and fish, he is just taking it by force, although he is ruthless, but he is a man's true character, but the Great Commander is waiting in ambush, and the fish are still at a loss after falling into the net, isn't this the consistent style of the Great Commander?

Ximen Rin gently sharpened the hilt of his sword, a hint of an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes, before he came, he really thought about using the assassin's confession to put the assassination on King Yan, whether it was true or not, it was always necessary to make Xu Yan indefensible, even if it made Youji's internal instability for a while, it could speed up Luo Chengyu's seizure of power, even if it was acceptable to pay some price. It's just that this approach has a premise, that is, the assassin is not the real blood relative of Yang Ning, the Ninth Highness, and Xu Yan, the King of Yan.

So after knowing Yang Ning's true identity, Ximen Rin not only wanted to design and kill Yang Ning. What's more, no one else will think of Yang Ning's true identity, so he deliberately leaked some vague information to Ling Chong through those young entourage, which really made Ling Chong think that his kindness to Yang Ning was for the purpose of plotting against King Yan, completely unaware that Ximen Rin's most important purpose was to kill Yang Ning. In this way, neither His Royal Highness nor anyone else will doubt that he has determined Yang Ning's identity, after all, if he knows Yang Ning's true identity, it stands to reason that Ximen Rin will not be stupid enough to use his grandson to frame his grandfather, and no one will suspect Luo Chengyu of murdering his brother-in-law in the future. Although Ling Chong did not assassinate Yang Ning according to Ximen Rin's calculations, but he publicized it in public, if he tried to kill Yang Ning again, others would only think that they could not take advantage of this assassin, so they did not pay attention to the incident, as for this Ling Chong, who made a lot of nonsense, as long as he added a charge of sowing discord, neither King Yan nor His Royal Highness Luo Chengyu could be blamed on him.

Although Ximen Rin also had the heart to follow Luo Chengyu's order and arrange for Ling Chong to disperse, he was not at ease, this time it was Ling Chong who was seeking his own death, but he couldn't blame him, not to mention that if he didn't kill Ling Chong now, it would inevitably be suspected that he was always preparing to assassinate Yang Ning in the future. As for whether Yang Ning would doubt himself after hearing these words, Ximen Rin was not worried, Yang Ning was simple-minded, he would only think that he saw the friendship of his master, and he concealed his true identity, and thought that he didn't know that he was His Royal Highness the Nine. Even if there is a misunderstanding, he will only think that he really wants to use him to frame his grandfather. If Yang Ning had such an illusion, he would naturally not think that he had murderous intent towards him, but could use this to lower Yang Ning's vigilance that he had always maintained.

Thinking of this, Ximen Rin's heart was blazing with murderous intent, but he didn't have the slightest anger, and said with his head bowed: "Since you are not afraid of death, then this seat is not afraid of killing a deputy commander who provokes the king and His Royal Highness the prince." After saying this, he suddenly made a move.

Ling Chong only saw a flash of silver light in front of him, and the sword light like a pair of training swept in, he had no intention of resisting, just quietly waiting for death to come, he angered Ximen Rin today, firstly, to make Ximen Rin forced to cancel the vicious scheme, but secondly, he also had the intention to seek death, these days, he thought about it, and he always couldn't leave King Yan, who was in an increasingly dangerous situation, and went to the border to get away, but the sincerity and love of His Royal Highness the Prince also made him unable to refuse, thinking about it, if he wanted to abide by his loyalty, it was only death.

Ximen Rin's Burmese knife was wrapped around Ling Chong's neck like a poisonous snake, and Ling Chong's life could be taken with just a slight drag, but Ximen Rin stopped his hand inexplicably and asked sharply: "Ling Chong, let me ask again, are you willing to accept His Highness's kindness and go to the Governor of Qianxi, Your Highness cherishes talents and loves talents, are you really not moved at all?"

A trace of emotion flashed in Ling Chong's eyes, he knew very well that Ximen Rin was ruthless, but the last time Ximen Rin could have allowed himself to die in Chunshui Hall, but he saved his life in time, which was already a rare move, and today on the verge of life and death, he was once again tolerant, that is, Ling Chong had always disliked Ximen Rin's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, and he was also a little shocked in his heart. It's just that he has made up his mind, and he just shook his head slightly, and with his slight movement, a wisp of blood has already trickled down the slender blade, and drop by drop falls on the deck.

Ximen Rin sighed slightly, and was about to start, he didn't have the kindness of a woman, if it weren't for the instructions of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, he wouldn't be so generous to Ling Chong, so for killing Ling Chong, there were not many obstacles in his heart, although it was inevitable that there was some regret, such a character, who should have been blood-spattered on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud, and now died in his own hands, it was inevitably too humiliating, but it was a pity that he himself, he couldn't find it under the steps at the moment, and there was no way to spare Ling Chong, unless it was- , Alas, with a deep sigh in his heart again, Ximen Rin was about to shake his wrist.

At this moment, a cold voice came: "Stop!", Ximen Rin had a strange feeling in his heart, although he took the opportunity to stop, but the cold light flashed in his eyes, he just saw Yang Ning just a few words, so he removed the demon barrier in Lin Zhiheng's heart, and even got the gratitude and respect of the young man, which made him feel inappropriate. This was the case with the Huofeng County Lord back then, he didn't like to use any fetters and gentle methods, and he was able to win the loyalty of his subordinates just by relying on his natural instrument wind vane. Yang Ning is worthy of being the son of the county lord, and he also has the charm of the fire phoenix, although Yang Ning seems to be more unruly and obedient, but with his identity, if he intends to compete with His Royal Highness the prince, it will inevitably cause great damage, and may even split the Youji.

He was about to make a move against Ling Chong in broad daylight, but it was also because he knew that Yang Ning would definitely be able to see this scene, guessing that if Yang Ning really had the intention to buy people's hearts as he expected, he would definitely stop it, although he had already decided to kill Yang Ning, but after all, he had not yet reached the last step, if he could find that Yang Ning did not have much damage to Youji, it was still too late to withdraw halfway. It's a pity that Yang Ning finally came forward to stop it, no matter whether Yang Ning was intentional or unintentional, at this moment, the decision in Ximen Rin's heart will never change.

The cold look on his face returned, as if the murderous aura had subsided, but in fact, killing with a smile was just a mask deliberately made by Ximen Rin, and when he really had made up his killing intent, it would not show any signs at all. Turning his head, Ximen Rin said to Yang Ning, who was standing at the door of the cabin, "These things have nothing to do with you, why does Zijing meddle in my internal affairs?" deliberately showed a little displeasure, but such a straightforward condemnation seemed more cordial, not like a reproach to a subordinate prisoner, but like a reproach to a disobedient nephew.

Yang Ning didn't plead as Ximen Rin thought, he was a little confused between his eyebrows, looked at Ling Chong and said: "Just because some people in the Military Intelligence Department died, do you suspect that Lord Ximen wants to use it to frame King Yan?" Yang Ning didn't notice it, he still called his grandfather the King of Yan, he didn't call him the king, and he still didn't regard himself as a person in Youji, after all, the estrangement for many years is not so easy to eliminate, and he has not yet revealed his identity, and he is also worried about whether Youji will really accept him.

Ling Chong stood on the deck with his hands in his hands, ignoring the miserable appearance of his own blood, and said with a slight mockery: " When the commander of Ximen was in the county guard's mansion, Ling was not idle, but he found that the ability of the white guards was really not small, except for a few peripheral personnel, a dignified southwest county division, but a weighty subordinate did not stay, that is, the people of the southwest county division were really related to the assassination of His Royal Highness, could it not even be covered up afterwards, the commander could not say that the king killed the mouth, with the king's ability, if he really wanted to destroy the mouth, he would never make such a desire to cover up. Ming Sima of the Southwest County Division is a close confidant of the king, even if he really has something to do with this matter, I am afraid that he will wait until he accepts Wei Bai's questioning, and then commits suicide calmly, and most of them will leave a suicide note to express his grievances, and he will never die so quietly and let you inflict the charges on him. Ling Chong always regarded Yang Ning as a person on Luo Chengyu's side, otherwise how could an assassin who assassinated His Royal Highness the Prince of the World be treated so courteously by Ximen Rin, even though he now thought that Yang Ning would not frame King Yan, but it couldn't make him have a good impression of Yang Ning, so he almost hid Feng in every sentence, and there was no word to show weakness.

Ling Chong naturally thought that he would anger Yang Ning, even Ximen Rin knew that Yang Ning's temperament was cold and arrogant, and he couldn't tolerate others to accuse him, so he also had the intention of watching from the sidelines, just waiting to see Yang Ning's jokes and guess how Yang Ning could convince a very hostile handsome character. A person like Ling Chong is different from a young man like Lin Zhiheng who is not yet mentally mature, he already has his own rights and wrongs in his heart, unless Yang Ning reveals his identity, because of King Yan, Ling Chong may listen to a few more words.

Yang Ning ignored Ling Chong's "rudeness", although he was only seventeen years old, but since he was a child, he was used to seeing the indifference and ruthlessness of his relatives, even in the two years he was in Yueyang, he did not see the white eyes of others, although Ling Chong's words were fierce, but Yang Ning only needed to see the pain hidden in his eyes, and he would not blame him.

Yang Ning smiled slightly, took a few steps forward, and happened to be reflected on his face by the red glow, at this moment, his expression was indescribably indifferent and cold. He said word by word: "You are wrong to blame Lord Simon, I killed those people." ”

As soon as Yang Ning's words came out, not to mention Ling Chong, even Ximen Rin was also shocked, he looked at Yang Ning in a daze, and couldn't figure out why Yang Ning killed the people on King Yan's side, and now he said it in public, in this way, he personally killed many powerful spies in Youji, if it is spread, his identity is revealed, and it will never be accepted by the people in Youji.

When Ximen Rin's heart was turning a thousand times, Ling Chong was already having green tendons on his forehead, and he scolded angrily: "What did you say, you killed Ming Sima, who instructed you? But Luo-Luo-Lord made you?"

At this moment, Ling Chong no longer doubted Ximen Rin, although the contact with Yang Ning was only a short moment, but he inexplicably believed that this young man would not tell lies, but his suspicion was even heavier, and he began to wonder if Luo Chengyu signaled, after all, everyone knew that Yang Ning assassinated Luo Chengyu, and the killing was so bloody that he listened to the Tao Pavilion, but Luo Chengyu retreated, and Ximen Rin treated Yang Ning so well, it must be Luo Chengyu's order not to be slow, otherwise even if Ximen Rin had some plans of his own, he would not blatantly defend the murderer of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World。

Although Yang Ning was simple, he also understood Ling Chong's unfinished meaning, anger flashed in his eyes, his figure flashed, he was already approaching Ling Chong, and pressed a palm on Ling Chong's chest, Ling Chong only felt a flower in front of him, and when he looked at it again, Yang Ning's figure had retreated to its original place, as if it had never moved, until this time, Ling Chong felt a sharp pain in his heart, and his heart was like a river and a sea, and he couldn't bear it anymore. However, Ling Chong was originally an arrogant person, and out of the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ximen Rin's surprised expression, waved his sleeves to cover his mouth, and a mouthful of blood was pouring on his sleeves, and when he lowered his sleeves, the blood stains were scattered, mixed with the blood that had only fallen bit by bit above the deck, and the blood around Ling Chong's body seemed to be a bloody battle.

At this time, from the closed portholes, there were exclamations almost at the same time, except for Ling Chong, who closed his eyes and breathed slowly, Ximen Rin and Yang Ning naturally listened to it, but Yang Ning didn't care at all, but Ximen Rin frowned, although he and Ling Chong had an argument on the deck, and there was no intention of avoiding people, but these young children of the martial arts hall were just eavesdropping, and they actually showed their voices, but it was unforgivable, and they had the idea of teaching these juniors a good lesson after they went back, but they said coldly: " Good skills, no wonder Zijing can defeat Wuxi, even Meng Lao can't beat you, today I saw that it was really worthy of the name, but you seem to be too disdainful of our Yan Shanwei, since this is the case, let Brother Ling of this seat ask you for advice!" Ximen Rin knew in his heart that no matter what, since Yang Ning had admitted that he had killed everyone in the Southwest County, at least Ling Chong would no longer suspect that he intended to frame King Yan, not to mention that he no longer had that plan, so he should naturally take the opportunity to win over Ling Chong, but his every word was reasonable, even if some people thought that he was capricious, they would not think that there was anything wrong with him doing this, but he was standing up for the subordinates who were injured by Yang Ning. Of course, he was careful not to make disrespectful remarks, so as not to destroy his position in Yang Ning's heart, not to mention that Yang Ning had no scheming, even if Yang Ning was scheming, he would only think that Ximen Rin was just saying some scenes, lest the two sides not be able to get off the stage.

Yang Ning naturally couldn't comprehend Ximen Rin's deep meaning, but said coldly: "I hurt him, what is Lord Ximen meddling, shouldn't he fight, I killed those people in the Southwest County Division, he is to blame the commander, that's all, I still dare to suspect that Luo Chengyu made me, an outsider, kill people, just by virtue of this, it doesn't matter if I kill him." ”

Ling Chong's expression was cold, and he said: "Even if Ling Mou suspects His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, there is nothing wrong with it, that is, he is guilty, there is also Lord Ximen here, and he has him to deal with Ling, since Prince Zijing admits that he is an outsider, what qualifications does he have to blame Ling?"

Ximen Rin frowned when he heard this, knowing that Ling Chong was questioning Yang Ning, lest Yang Ning leak his identity and it would be inconvenient to act, so he wanted to step forward to relieve the siege, but Yang Ning looked indifferent, and said unmoved: "What kind of person Luo Chengyu is, I know it when I only see him, don't you know? He just doesn't want to let people know, so if you don't want to let people know that you don't need to be a master assassin like Lian Wuji, you want to use me, an enemy who doesn't share the same sky? Although I don't know what it means to know and employ people, I also know that there is absolutely no reason to use outsiders to replace confidants in doing things. Yueyang's affairs have nothing to do with Luo Chengyu, I did the assassination of Luo Chengyu, I did the bloodbath to listen to Tao Pavilion, Ming Shulian was killed by me, whether you believe it or not, I don't care, it's just that you can't slander Luo Chengyu in front of me, even if he is bad in a thousand ways, you don't deserve to accuse him. At this moment, the look in Yang Ning's eyes was even more brilliant than the sunset, and the resolute look in his eyes made people believe it and admire it.
