Reborn to marry the regent and seize the throne as queen

It was easy to let the Shen family go. He originally wanted to kill them just to lure out Shen Zhuowen and the others.

But how should he solve the problem of killing the emperor?

Yan Xiuchen concealed his expression well and stared at Yan Lin with sharp eyes, but Yan Lin was not nervous at all.

He drank fearlessly, as if the person in front of him was not Yan Xiuchen who wanted to kill him, but an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

"How is it? Have you thought it through? If not, there's still time!"

"But..." As he said that, Yan Lin leaned forward with a wicked smile on his lips.

"Speaking of which, although Jiang Qingwu has those bad habits of a military commander, he is indeed good-looking."

"I've been with her for so long, the only regret is..."

Yan Xiuchen's heart tightened slightly, and he suddenly remembered something.

A long time ago, Yan Lin used Gu Yanbai's help to develop evil intentions towards Jiang Qingwu.

"Since you said so, don't blame me for being rude."

There was a hint of cruelty in Yan Xiuchen's eyes. He picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all, and put it on the table with a bang.

"You are just a pawn. Killing you or injuring you will not affect the deal between the king and them."

"In other words, they don't care about you."

"They only care whether those who should die have died, and whether those who should live have lived."

Yan Xiuchen's words startled Yan Lin, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face. "Are you going to kill me?"

"Do you think that if you kill me, no one will miss Jiang Qingwu?"

Seeing Yan Xiuchen's solemn expression, Yan Lin seemed to see through something, and then relaxed and let out a light laugh.

"I was just joking. If you're worried about me, you might as well worry about Gu Yanbai..."

Yan Xiuchen's eyes darkened, and he tightly grasped the golden bronze fan and shouted, "What do you mean?"

"If I touch your woman, you can kill me."

"If Gu Yanbai touched him... would you be willing to kill him?"

"Can you two still be friends, brothers?"

The step-by-step plan caught Yan Xiuchen off guard.

He ignored Shen Zhuowen, and even more so his cunningness and methods.

He tried to rescue people by making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and sent out chess pieces to threaten them. If what Yan Lin said was true, he was using Jiang Qingwu to sow discord among the three of them.

If it was really Gu Yanbai who touched Jiang Qingwu, the Jiang family would not forgive Gu Yanbai, and neither would I.

If we become enemies with Gu Yanbai and Sang Kingdom...

Yan Lin looked at Yan Xiuchen thoughtfully, with a flash of surprise and ruthlessness in his eyes, and then he smiled secretly.

"So, don't play any tricks. The best thing to do is to do those two things well."

Yan Lin's words suddenly brought Yan Xiuchen back to his senses.

When he raised his eyes and saw Yan Lin's smug look, a hint of ruthlessness and decisiveness instantly flashed through Yan Xiuchen's mind.

"Kill him!" Yan Xiuchen's voice was not loud, but it was sharp and decisive.

After saying this, he got up and left.

Yan Lin stood there in astonishment, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"You...what did you say? Yan Xiuchen, how dare you! Aren't you afraid..."

Before Yan Lin could finish his angry words, Jiu Ye and Jiu Han had already arrived.

Seeing this, Yan Lin subconsciously stepped back.

But just when Jiuye and Jiuhan were about to take action, someone suddenly broke in through the door.

Suddenly, sounds of fighting were heard in the house, as well as sounds of people running and screaming from all over the third floor.

There were hurried footsteps running everywhere, and Yan Lin took the opportunity to escape from the room.

But before he could go downstairs, Yan Xiuchen's golden bronze fan grabbed his neck at the corner of the stairs.

"You...you dare to kill me, Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai..."

Before Yan Lin could finish his words, Yan Xiuchen's fan blade cut his neck.

"I hate being threatened the most. If I obey you today, I'm afraid I will have to agree to anything in the future."

"Gu Yanbai said that he would protect my people."

"I'm betting with you... on my life, their lives... and your life."

Yan Xiuchen stared at Yan Lin with a firm gaze, and Yan Lin understood something instantly.

"What do you want to bet on?"

Before Yan Xiuchen could answer, a large number of guards rushed in from the main door downstairs, quickly closed the door, and surrounded everyone.

The leader, Jiang Qingbai, was wearing armor and holding a token. He shouted loudly, "The Beijing Criminal Division is handling a case. No one is allowed to enter or leave. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."

Yan Lin looked downstairs, then turned to look inside the house, "You...you said you wanted to kill me, just to lure out the guards hiding in the dark?"

“Godfather…” Jiu Ye and Jiu Han came out and pushed the two men to the ground.

Jiang Qingbai also quickly came up to him from downstairs, "Your Highness..."

Seeing this, Yan Xiuchen drew Jiang Qingbai's sword and walked towards the two men.

"Do you know where Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai are being held?"

“No, I don’t know…” Before the other party could finish his words, Yan Xiuchen slashed with a knife, and blood splattered on the spot.

Yan Lin, who was being held, swallowed secretly and tried to remain calm.

"Do you...know..." Yan Xiuchen asked another person.

"I, I only know that it's outside the city, the rest..." Before he could finish his words, Yan Xiuchen stabbed him again.

Looking at the blood gushing out and quickly soaking the floor beneath his feet, Yan Lin couldn't help but take a step back.

Seeing Yan Xiuchen approaching, he couldn't help but panic, "You, you dare, you kill me, Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai..."

"All of my men have gone out to look for them."

"We have been searching since noon. Even if there is no news, we won't have to wait too long."

“This place has been completely blocked.”

"What happened to you here, whether you lived or died, no one knows."

"I don't believe that the Shen family really dares to attack Jiang Qingwu and others and destroy the last trump card in their hands."

As he spoke, Yan Xiuchen placed the bloody knife on Yan Lin's neck, "I will only give you one chance..."

"I want you to lead the way to find Jiang Qingwu and Gu Yanbai... go or not."

The smell of blood fills my nose, I'm not afraid it's fake.

Yan Lin shrank his body, looked at Yan Xiuchen hesitantly, and nodded helplessly.

At that time, there was a peach blossom forest thirty miles outside the city.

There is a farm deep in the peach blossom forest. This farm originally belonged to Yan Lin. Shen Zhuowen and Shen Wanrong had been hiding here before.

The peach blossom forest is inhabited, so entering is generally prohibited, and there are farmers watching nearby.

No one would have thought that there was a farm deep in the forest.

The huge house was surrounded by a peach forest. The scenery was beautiful, but it was filled with a bloody smell.

When Jiang Qingwu woke up, he was in a woodshed, with his mouth gagged and his hands tied behind his back.

It was pitch black all around, with only dim moonlight shining into the room.

Jiang Qingwu stood up and walked to the window, and it took a lot of effort to spit out the cloth ball in his mouth.

Just as I was trying to find a way to untie the rope, the door opened.

Shen Wanrong was holding a sword and saw Jiang Qingwu standing by the window, and heard a light laugh.

"I guess it's time to wake up. Come on, I'll take you to see someone."

Having said that, Shen Wanrong was about to leave, but Jiang Qingwu just stood there in a daze, not moving an inch.

"What is this place..." Jiang Qingwu asked Shen Wanrong calmly.

Shen Wanrong sighed softly, looked around and said, "You should know where this is, but it's too dark now, so you can't recognize it."

"Tomorrow, you will know."

After saying that, Shen Wanrong pulled the rope that tied Jiang Qingwu's hands behind his back and dragged Jiang Qingwu away.
