Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

After Prince An's "kind" reminder, he waved his hand slightly, and the personal soldiers who had originally besieged Xu Xingyin and his party intensified their offensive. The sound of cavalry stepping on the ground was heard again, gradually approaching.

The dagger that the fake "Jing Zhichen" held at Xu Xingyin's neck was getting closer and closer. The cold dagger was sticking to Xu Xingyin's skin and could cut through that fragile defense at any time.

Then, the fake "Jing Zhichen" sneered and spoke to everyone.

"Put down your weapons, or I will send your Crown Princess on her way!"

Seeing that Xu Xingyin's life was threatened, everyone put down their weapons even though they were unwilling to do so.

The "clang clang" sounds of weapons falling to the ground came one after another.

Lu Xu, who was closest to Xu Xingyin, raised his hands and negotiated in a low voice.

"We have laid down our weapons. Will King An break his promise?"

Prince An smiled smugly, "In front of everyone, what do you think?"

While Lu Xu was negotiating, Xu Xingyin's eyes moved between the two of them. Seeing Lu Xu's fingertips move slightly, he was moved. This...

It was a secret code between her and Lu Xu!

A code that only they know.

When they were young and were being scolded by their elders for being naughty, they would often use these little tricks to confuse their testimony.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin gritted his teeth, his eyes reddened and he cursed like a madman.

"Jing Zhian, if you have anything to say, just come to me! Why bother involving others? They were all forced to come here by me. They have no hatred towards you. Just let them go!"

Prince An just found it interesting and commented with interest.

"You are so naive. I will not let any of you, Jing Zhichen, and your lackeys go."

Xu Xingyin was stunned and asked, "What did you do to Jing Zhichen?"

Prince An laughed arrogantly, and did not forget to act even in public.

"From the moment he killed his father, he has been a thorn in my side. If that is the case, then of course... he should be eliminated as soon as possible. What, do you think you can save him? What a pity, he is already dead."

After hearing this, Xu Xingyin couldn't help but curse out of control.

"Jing Zhian, you beast! You plotted to seize power and slaughtered my father and brothers. You will not die a good death!"

Xu Xingyin's pain made Prince An curl his lips in great pleasure, and he admired her despair with pride.

Just when Prince An was feeling extremely proud, Xu Xingyin suddenly thrust his elbow backwards, and the fake "Jing Zhichen" was caught off guard and subconsciously took a step back.

Unexpectedly, Xu Xingyin had no weapon in his hand, but relied on this fake move to create distance in a moment.

At the same time, Lu Xu, who had originally "put down his weapon", let the soft sword slip out from his sleeve. He attacked with one hand with the soft sword, and with the other hand he grabbed Xu Xingyin's wrist and switched positions.

The fake "Jing Zhichen" responded hastily, and in a moment, he lost his advantage.

The soft sword drew a silver arc in the sunlight and attacked the fake "Jing Zhichen" fiercely. However, "Jing Zhichen" was no ordinary person either. He adjusted his body shape and fought back and forth with Lu Xu.

The other people brought by Xu Xingyin also reacted quickly and took up weapons to fight the enemy.

The battle intensified. Seeing that the situation was not good, Prince An's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He quietly drew a dagger from his waist and rushed towards Xu Xingyin while everyone was not prepared.

Xu Xingyin was being entangled by a soldier at the moment and did not notice the sneak attack from behind at all.

While Lu Xu was fighting fiercely with the fake "Jing Zhichen", he suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from behind him. He was startled and turned around quickly.

Prince An had a ferocious look on his face, his short knife flashing with cold light, and he had already rushed in front of Xu Xingyin!

Seeing this, Lu Xu used all his strength to throw the soft sword in his hand forward, temporarily delaying the fake "Jing Zhichen". He leaped up and stood in front of Xu Xingyin without hesitation.

Prince An's short knife came with a sharp gust of wind, but Lu Xu blocked the knife with his body, blocking the fatal blow for Xu Xingyin.

The dagger pierced Lu Xu's body fiercely, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.

But he endured the pain, concentrated his internal strength in his palm, turned around and struck King An with one palm.

Prince An was knocked flying more than ten feet away, holding his chest and spitting out blood several times. He was closely protected by several trusted guards and temporarily did not have the energy to cause trouble to them.

"Ayang!"

Xu Xingyin cried out in surprise and subconsciously caught the falling Lu Xu.

Hearing the familiar name, Lu Xu forced his eyes open and looked at Xu Xingyin, trying hard to force a smile.

"You're not dead yet, why are you crying?"

Xu Xingyin's voice choked with sobs, and he subconsciously retorted, "Don't say such unlucky words!"

"She is the Crown Princess after all. She is so overbearing when she speaks." Lu Xu chuckled and made a joke. Then he shook his head and said indifferently, "Jiaojiao, this knife hurt my lungs. I...can't survive."

Xu Xingyin shook her head violently and hugged Lu Xu tremblingly. Her tears fell like beads from a broken string.

"No, no... There must be other ways. I won't let you die."

Lu Xu looked at Xu Xingyin, his eyes unable to conceal his tenderness and reluctance. He stretched out his scarred hand and gently patted Xu Xingyin's head.

Just like always.

"Jiaojiao, if I die, please don't be sad for me. You know, I've always been a free and easy person. I come to this world once, and I always want to see some beautiful things. And the beauty that I want to protect most in my life is... your smile."

Xu Xingyin's voice was choked with sobs, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence. He just shook his head mechanically and repeated the same sentence.

"Don't...don't..."

Lu Xu looked at Xu Xingyin, his eyes full of affection.

"Some things, if you don't say them now, it may be too late in this life. Xu Jiaojiao, I like you."

The sudden confession made Xu Xingyin forget to even cry.

But Lu Xu did not expect Xu Xingyin's answer. He just smiled softly and continued talking.

"I have been holding back on this word of love for fifteen years, and now I finally say it out loud. I still remember the first time I saw you, you were sitting on the big locust tree in the general's mansion, and you told me that if I wanted to become the Zhennan general's apprentice, I had to get past you first. I don't remember what you said afterwards, but I only remember that the sun was shining brightly that day, and the little girl on the treetop had a sweet smile.

Later I thought, maybe I liked you from the first time I saw you, but I knew since childhood that you were the Crown Princess appointed by the late Queen, and that you were the one I was destined to look up to. So, I cowardly chose to carefully hide this love in my heart. As long as you don't know, we are still friends. At least... I still have an identity that I can show off and talk and laugh with you.

Later, from breaking off the engagement to pretending to get married, I had illusions again and again, thinking that I finally had a chance. But I never expected that the one who finally shattered all my hopes would be...my father. It turns out that from the beginning I stood against you, so I am not worthy of standing by your side for the rest of my life. Death may not be a bad ending for me. Jiaojiao, I..."
