Ruthless Sword Master Pretty Snake Demon

It took Ao Ye and his party three days to travel from Xingzhou to Jiangning Mansion. The sights they saw along the way were nothing more than houses destroyed by floods, fertile fields submerged, and victims who lacked clothing and food and were panicked.

"In the face of natural disasters, people are like ants." Ao Ye looked away, frowned, his hands on his legs clenched into fists, and sighed, "I just met corrupt officials again, and I don't care about the people."

If it hadn't been for him falling into the water this time, he probably wouldn't have known that the resettlement place for the victims outside the city of Jiangning Mansion was peaceful, while the people in other places were in dire straits.

Hearing this, She Yanbai smiled softly, "What I see is different from what you see. What I see is a group of weak people who can't learn to save themselves and can only expect the pity of the strong."

Whether it was 2000 years ago or 2000 years later, the world has never changed, but there is no one who works hard and is kind.

Ao Ye pursed his lower lip, stared at the corner of She Yanbai's upturned mouth, and called out, "Yanbai..."

"Huh?" She Yanbai tilted her head, her black and white eyes looked innocently and ignorantly when she looked at her, but in just a moment, the illusion faded away, and the truth was as deep as a pond.

Ao Ye frowned slightly, swallowed the countless questions in his heart, and said, "Your hair is messed up."

"Tsk." She Yanbai smiled, pulled out the wooden hairpin and threw it into Ao Ye's arms, and said irritably, "You come."

Ao Ye was stunned for a moment, then leaned over silently amidst She Yanbai's urging voice, with five fingers passing through the silk-like blue silk, straightened it out carefully, and then gently pulled it back together.

The snake-shaped wooden hairpin is like a real snake entwined in She Yan's white hair, her scarlet eyes glow coldly, as if she might bite someone at any moment.

"Non-poisonous snake?" Ao Ye looked carefully at the wooden hairpin, only to find that the teeth in the snake's mouth were not owned by poisonous snakes.

She Yanbai's body froze, and she sat on the side, with a somewhat unhappy expression, and said coldly, "Why, do you look down on non-poisonous snakes?"

He was suddenly angry, and Ao Ye was a little puzzled, so he shook his head, "How could I look down on non-poisonous snakes? Boa constrictors are not poisonous, and they can strangle their prey. If ordinary people encounter giant pythons, they may only become prey."

She Yanbai raised her hand to touch the wooden hairpin on her head, and said with a sneer, "It's best not to."

Anyone who looked down on him in the past would end up with nothing good.

Ao Ye couldn't help but laugh, and felt that She Yanbai who was arguing over a trivial matter was very cute.

He smiled, causing She Yanbai to frown and look at him several times.

Fortunately, the carriage stopped slowly, She Yanbai noticed Meng Tianhe's subordinates approaching, so she didn't ask him why he was laughing.

Meng Tianhe's subordinates said in a low voice, "Your Highness, we have arrived. According to your instructions, we have notified Master Li, Zhifu Liu and others to come to welcome you."

"Yeah." The smile on Ao Ye's face disappeared, and he turned to She Yan and said, "Wait for me in the car for a while."

After finishing speaking, he got out of the car alone, and at a glance he saw Minister of Industry Li An and other envoys from the capital, officials from Jiangning Mansion, his personal eunuchs and guards waiting aside.

"Your Highness!" The little eunuch Fu An, with tears in his eyes, ran to Ao Ye's side and cried, "Your Highness, you have suffered!"

The sharp weeping sound made Ao Ye frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Be quiet."

Fu An immediately covered his mouth and said nothing more.He turned his head and looked at the carriage curiously. Through the repaired car wall, there were still gaps, and he vaguely saw a smiling beauty, and his heart skipped a beat.

"His Royal Highness is safe and well, it is such a great joy!" Li An's eyes were slightly wet, and he hurriedly saluted, "Minister Li An, thank you for your life-saving grace!"

After Ao Ye fell into the water, he ordered people to search day and night along the main stream of the Qin River and its tributaries, but he never saw anyone alive or dead.I don't know how many times the letter of pleading guilty was sent to the capital, but fortunately Ao Ye was fine in the end, otherwise he would really be to blame for death.

"You don't need to be too polite." Ao Ye raised his hand, and his indifferent eyes shot directly at Liu Henian who was behind Li An with a guilty expression.

Sensing Ao Ye's gaze, Liu Henian shrank his huge body, trying to hide behind Li An, but unfortunately Li An was too thin and could only cover his small body.

"Master Liu." Ao Ye said with a sullen face, his right hand rested on the hilt of his waist and lightly stroked it.

"Your Majesty, I am here." Liu Henian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a sneer, "If His Highness hadn't rescued him that day, I'm afraid it would have been a disaster, and I am very grateful for His Highness's life-saving grace."

As he talked, the worries in his heart gradually dissipated, even if the crown prince knew that he deliberately bumped him into the water, so what?As long as there is no evidence, no one can do anything against him!

Liu Henian became arrogant again, looking at Ao Ye with disdain.On the day when His Highness the Third Highness assumes the throne, the crown prince is afraid that he will be worse than a beggar.

"Lord Liu, just pretend that Rigu never saved you that day." Ao Ye said calmly.

Before Liu Henian could understand the meaning of these words, his head fell to the ground with a chill on his neck, and his wide-open eyes reflected his body that was still standing upright.

This scene happened so suddenly that everyone present was dumbfounded. They looked at Liu Henian whose body had been separated, and Ao Ye who was throwing blood beads from his sword. They were speechless for a long time.

The corpse hit the ground heavily with a bang, and everyone came back to their senses, screaming, their legs were weak, dazed, crying, and their reactions varied.

With a twist of Ao Ye's wrist, Shuanghua sword returned to its sheath.

"The matter is over, come out." Ao Ye stretched out his hand towards the people in the carriage, his face no longer as cold as before.

A white hand stretched out from the curtain of the car, carelessly resting on Ao Ye's palm.

"The shot is crisp and sharp, not bad." She Yanbai glanced at the corpse on the ground, bent her lips, and praised with a smile.

Now Fu An has completely seen She Yanbai's appearance, she is beautiful, but sick, she is not a good person.

If She Yanbai felt something, she glanced at him lightly, Fu An immediately lowered her head and didn't dare to look any further.

"Wonderful praise." Ao Ye's expression was indifferent, and he helped She Yanbai get out of the carriage, then let go of his hand in due course, and twirled behind his back.

"Your Highness, why, how did you kill Lord Liu suddenly?" Li An stammered.

"Murdering the Crown Prince is a crime that should be punished." Ao Ye said with a cold expression, "Come here, send Master Liu's body to the capital."

As soon as the words fell, two of Meng Tianhe's subordinates went over to drag away Liu Henian's body.

"Murdering the prince..." Li An muttered to himself, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Could it be that His Highness fell into the water because of him?"

Ao Ye said, "The first is to save him, and the second is to kill him. Such unkind and unrighteous people will deserve to die."

He knew that whether it was Liu Henian or Liu Mingzhi, if he had to kill them on the spot, there would be no chance of taking their lives.

"Then His Highness should also escort him to the capital and wait for His Majesty to deal with him. How can he kill the court officials without permission?" Li An showed a worried look on his face, "Your Highness's actions, after returning to Beijing, all civil and military officials still don't know how to criticize His Highness."

"Let them talk." Ao Ye said coldly, "When did Gu care about other people's opinions?"

To the capital?Oh, guilt can also become innocent.

Li An remembered Ao Ye's many deeds in the capital in the past, and he was dumbfounded. Then he took a few steps closer and said in a low voice, "If your Highness needs it in the future, my minister Li An can be a witness."

In fact, he was overly frightened at the time, and did not see the scene where Liu Henian harmed Ao Ye.

Ao Ye was a little surprised, nodded and said, "Lord Li's heart, I have accepted it alone."

"Your Highness saved my life, and your kindness is as great as a mountain." Li An sighed, "Your Highness has been exhausted all the way, please go and rest first, they will be comforted by the minister."

They are referring to the officials who came from the capital together with the local officials from Jiangning Prefecture.

Ao Ye nodded, and then, ignoring the gazes of others, went directly to She Yanbai and squatted down, "Come up."

She Yanbai was not polite either, she laid on his back as she said, and said in a low voice, "You are addicted to carrying it."

Ao Ye remained silent.

"Your Highness, come this way." Fu An stepped forward in time to lead the way.

Meng Tianhe's subordinates followed silently, and the prince's guards hurried forward upon seeing this, and both sides walked side by side, refusing to give in to each other.

"Hey, you useless trash." The tall, dark man sneered.

The prince's guard blushed, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

"Northern people are interesting." She Yanbai smiled after hearing this, "I like it."

Ao Ye paused, his eyes flickered, "Yes."

"No, what are you?"

Ao Ye continued walking with his back behind his back, and remained silent.
