Although even Shen Qingwan didn't find out whether Li Luo was the posthumous daughter of the Shen family, but judging from Li Luo's behavior of letting Zhang Heng go, it really didn't conform to her always aggressive and decisive style of action.

"Maybe there is something hidden in it."

Lin Sishen's tone was exceptionally firm, she never doubted Li Luo, even though Shen Qingwan told her this, she still firmly believed in her heart that Li Luo would not betray her.

Facing Shen Qingwan's pensive gaze, Lin Sishen turned his head and said in a low voice, "Li Luocai was young when he entered the Shadow Gate, and his temper was boring and unpleasant. He was often bullied by his fellow disciples. Treating her kindly, taking good care of her, and even teaching her swordsmanship in private in violation of the family rules, she will let Zhang Heng go, maybe it's just to thank her for the past kindness."

Shen Qingwan doesn't know Li Luo as well as Lin Sishen, but she also knows the importance of Li Luo in Lin Sishen's heart. After thinking about it for a long time, she sighed with a complicated expression, "Shen'er, don't you think it's all too coincidental?" Have you? Why did Zhang Heng take care of Li Luo so much?"

If Zhang Heng knew about Li Luo's life experience early on, then he took great pains to take care of Li Luo, get close to Li Luo, and even teach her swordsmanship in private for Li Luo's violation of the sect's rules.

Looking at Lin Sishen's sinking face, Shen Qingwan certainly knew that she didn't like to hear these words, but out of worry, she still reminded her, "Assassins can't be treated like ordinary people. They lick blood with their knives to make a living, so why not?" He will show kindness for no reason without asking for anything in return."

Shen Qingwan's words were especially harsh to Lin Sishen's ears. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she suddenly raised her head, her chest heaved violently due to emotion, she couldn't control her tone for a while, and asked repeatedly, "What does the princess mean by that?" ? Are you suspicious of Li Luo? I have known her for many years, so don't you know her better than the Princess?"

Xu was in a moment of impatience, so Lin Sishen raised the volume, and the rapid and blunt questioning echoed in the room.

Shen Qingwan was startled when she heard that, she didn't expect Lin Sishen's reaction to be so intense, as if someone had caught her weakness and jumped into a rage, this was the first time Lin Sishen spoke to her in such a blunt tone, and it was for another man, another woman.

It seemed like she was a meddling outsider.

Withdrawing the hands holding Lin Sishen's cheeks little by little, Shen Qingwan's clear eyes dimmed a little, a hurt look flashed across her face, but almost instantly she returned to her usual coldness.

In fact, Lin Sishen regretted it as soon as she said the words. Shen Qingwan was clearly worried that she was thinking of her, but she actually said such hurtful words to Shen Qingwan.

Lin Sishen looked at Shen Qingwan nervously, stood up eagerly, and wanted to grab Shen Qingwan's withdrawn hand, she anxiously wanted to explain that she was just too impatient to speak freely, "Princess, you let me explain"

The outstretched hand caught nothing, and the fingertips only brushed an inch of the cold skin. Lin Sishen's heart trembled, his hand was frozen in mid-air, and the explanation he hadn't said yet was blocked in his mouth.

Shen Qingwan took two steps back, avoiding Lin Sishen's hand.

A few steps away, Shen Qingwan looked at Lin Sishen without saying a word, the tenderness in her eyes that could not be melted away, only a trace of loneliness and deep exhaustion remained.

Lin Sishen suddenly panicked, she hesitated and slightly opened and closed her thin lips, but when she met Shen Qingwan's eyes, she felt a piercing pain from the bottom of her heart "Princess"

Seeing that Lin Sishen was so flustered, Shen Qingwan curled her lips into a self-deprecating smile, and then raised her chin slightly, with the indifference and arrogance of repelling others thousands of miles away, "You and Li Luo have known each other for many years and have a deep friendship. I should not speculate about her for no reason." .”

Lin Sishen shook her head with a pale face, she obviously didn't mean that, how could she blame Shen Qingwan, she was really just too impatient to speak out of her mind, "No, that's not the case"

Shen Qingwan didn't wait for Lin Sishen to finish speaking at all, and turned around blankly to leave. Lin Sishen only stepped forward to chase after her, and she said three words coldly without looking back.

"Don't follow."

Lin Sishen was stunned by Shen Qingwan's icy tone, and was stunned for a while, and when she chased out the door again, Shen Qingwan was no longer in the courtyard.

Lin Sishen leaned against the door slumped, feeling like he suddenly lost strength all over his body, and almost passed out.She was at a loss and squatted down, holding her head helplessly and wanted to cry. She hated herself for being unscrupulous, hated herself for not knowing good and bad, and hated herself for hurting Shen Qingwan's heart.

How could she say something like that, even though it was unintentional, but this kind of words that came out without thinking are the most hurtful.

When Xi Qian came to find him with the freshly brewed medicine, she saw Lin Sishen sitting at the door with his eyes staring blankly, as if he had lost his soul.

Just to see what happened when Mozhu boiled the medicine for a while?

Xi Qian walked up to Lin Sishen slowly, raised her eyes and looked around the room for a few times, but there was no sign of Shen Qingwan, and she suddenly realized that there must be something awkward between the two without thinking about it.

After Youyou let out a long sigh, Xi Qian ignored the dust on the ground and sat down beside Lin Sishen, looking into her lost eyes, half angry and half helpless, she asked, "Did you run away in anger? "

Lin Sishen didn't answer, just stared straight at the stone slab under his feet, but his eyes turned a little red under Xi Qian's questioning.

Thinking that she was pure-hearted and wanting to see through the world of mortals, she didn't expect to worry about the relationship between the two younger generations, Xi Qian shook her head, and said with emotion, "It's not an exaggeration to say that you look like a princess. Being born in a noble family is still a rare kind of love. To be favored by such a woman is something that no one can even dream of."

Xi Qian watched Lin Sishen grow up, so she should protect Lin Sishen no matter what, but maybe the authorities were confused by the onlookers, and after seeing Shen Qingwan's infatuation with Lin Sishen, she felt sorry for Shen Qingwan more than Lin Sishen.

Even though Lin Sishen seemed to be blaming herself to death, she still accused her mercilessly, "But you are lucky, you don't know your blessings when you are in a blessing, and you hurt others' hearts even if you hurt them. According to her injuries, she should have been well Lie in bed to recuperate, but when she heard that something happened to you again, she didn't dare to delay for a moment and insisted on coming to see you, but you ran away in anger, if it were me, I should have been chilled by you."

Lin Sishen buried her head, her self-blame and guilt almost overwhelmed her, she murmured shamelessly, "Nurse, wake me up."

"What did I hit you for?"

Xi Qian was so angry and funny, if she didn't want to slap Lin Sishen awake, she really wanted to slap Lin Sishen awake, "Did you listen to my words? I just said that she was seriously injured and should be resting in bed, but you let She left alone, you have time to blame yourself here, you might as well chase her back."

Hearing this, Lin Sishen stood up abruptly, and almost knocked over the medicine bowl in Xi Qian's hand in a reckless manner. Fortunately, Xi Qian's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and the palm of his hand dragged the bottom of the bowl and spun it firmly to protect it. No soup was spilled.

"you child"

Before she could finish her complaint, Lin Sishen swept away like a gust of wind, and disappeared in front of her eyes in an instant, as if she was heading towards the palace.

Lin Sishen didn't have time to think about anything else right now, even Li Luo was forgotten, all she could think about was what Xi Qian said just now.

She was seriously injured and should have been in bed.

That's right, Shen Qingwan was backlashed in order to save her, and now she is still seriously injured, and she dragged her seriously injured body to see her because she was worried about her, but she was lucky, and lost her temper at Shen Qingwan because of Li Luo.

On the way of being angry with her, if anything goes wrong,

Lin Sishen didn't dare to think about it anymore, she ran all the way as if fleeing for her life, regardless of hiding her body, and just broke into the palace.

Fortunately, Shen Qingwan had already ordered that the hidden guards of the palace noticed that the intruder was Lin Sishen, so they didn't do anything, and stopped the patrol guard who was about to shout assassin, which allowed Lin Sishen to go all the way unimpeded.

When Lin Sishen climbed over the wall and entered the yard, she woke up the green shade who was lightly sleeping. She immediately turned over and took out the long sword hidden under the bed, but Lan Qing got up sleepily when she was awakened by the sound of unsheathing.

Softly comforting Lan Qing, Lu Yin went out alone with a sword to check, just in time to see Lin Sishen coming out of the study, she was very surprised, "Master Lin?"

When Lin Sishen saw Lu Yin, he didn't even have time to explain, so he asked eagerly, "Lu Yin, can the Princess go back home?"

Lu Yin frowned and asked back, "Isn't the Princess in the General's Mansion?"

Lin Sishen's face paled a little when he heard this, and he walked away without saying a word, leaving behind a green shade who was about to ask questions with a puzzled face.

Shen Qingwan didn't return to the palace, so where would she go?

In order to find Shen Qingwan, Lin Sishen even did not hesitate to use a trap, and even the dormant hidden threads were ordered to find Shen Qingwan even if they dug three feet into the ground tonight.

There are servants and maids working in rich families, waiters in restaurants and tea houses, vendors and stall owners in markets, and even unremarkable beggars on the street.

In less than half an hour, Lin Sishen received the news that no one had discovered Princess Qingyang's appearance in the city tonight.Shen Qingwan is injured now, and she can't hide her body like usual. If she appears in the city, Luo Wang will definitely notice it.

She wasn't in the palace, and she didn't show herself in the city. Could it be that she didn't leave the general's palace at all?

After wandering around in the capital, Lin Sishen hurriedly returned to the General's Mansion.She seemed to have finally figured out where Shen Qingwan would hide.

-------------------------------------

Li Luo stood alone in the courtyard, in front of him were a dozen guards in iron armor, behind him was the aggressive fourth prince, and the so-called "senior brother" from the same sect.

She didn't look flustered at all, she just raised her hand and easily swiped the long sword stuck in the stone slab.And just now, those guards tried their best to shake him.

Without looking back, Li Luo just held his sword and asked lightly, "What does the Fourth Prince mean?"

The fourth prince stood on the stone steps with his hands behind his back and looked down at Li Luo, just like when he asked Zhang Heng to lead Li Luo to meet at the broken bridge outside the city, standing on a high place overlooking her, his posture was disgustingly arrogant .

"Miss Li Luo still doesn't understand? If the girl doesn't give me an answer tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the gate of the palace."

Li Luo looked down at the long sword in his hand, and calmly replied, "The answer? Didn't I already give the fourth prince the answer?"

The fourth prince shook his head, and said meaningfully, "But that's not the answer I want."

Li Luo snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "The fourth prince is too domineering."

Without the need for the Fourth Prince to speak, Zhang Heng on the side frowned and looked at Li Luo with desolation, "Why are you so obsessed with no regrets? You know that Lin Sishen is the son of our enemy, but you are still willing to work for him. How can you be sorry?" Father's spirit in heaven."

Li Luowen turned his head, looked straight at Zhang Heng with his cold eyes, and said coldly, "I have no father or mother, and I have nothing to do with you, so where is my enemy?"

Zhang Heng took a step forward and laughed angrily, "Deceive yourself, if you have nothing to do with me, why did I go to such lengths to teach you swordsmanship in private in violation of the sect's rules? A red birthmark."

Li Luo's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer, while Zhang Heng approached step by step, talking endlessly about the secret things that happened back then.

"At the beginning, Lin Zheng was ordered to go to Tingzhou to investigate the case of private casting of official bank. It happened that his father offended him, and he didn't find out the cause of the case for a long time. Ten members of the family were beheaded and exterminated. I was the illegitimate son raised by my father secretly in another courtyard. No one knew my identity, so I escaped unharmed. And your mother fled early in the morning to visit relatives. Although she was robbed and killed by bandits in the barren hills, I still gave birth to you with my last breath."

"Lin Ying's official position is high and powerful. I had nowhere to ask for help, so I had to try my best to join the Shadow Gate. I wanted to wait for the opportunity to assassinate Lin Ying one day, and avenge dozens of members of my Shen family. Until one day I bumped into The gangster who robbed and killed your mother saw your mother give birth to you, and also saw the red bean-sized birthmark on your shoulder blade."

"My God, I have been searching for you for many years before I finally found out your whereabouts. It turns out that you were brought back to the Shadow Gate by Master. It turns out that you have always been by my side. No wonder I was so kind to you when I first saw you. No wonder I I always want to protect you wholeheartedly, because we are brothers and sisters whose blood is thicker than water."

When Zhang Heng talked about the emotion, he was a little choked up, he held back his tears and looked at Li Luo expectantly.

The general story, when Zhang Heng found Li Luo for the first time, she had already heard it once. Just like that day, Li Luo was still expressionless, numb and almost cold-blooded. "Then why didn't you tell me about my background?"

Zhang Heng calmed down his thoughts, and said in a deep voice, "You were still young at that time, and I didn't want you to bear blood and deep hatred like me, and live in hatred day and night. I wanted to tell you later, but Lin Sishen Actually found the Shadow Gate, and he also fell in love with you, I simply pretended not to know anything, let you stay by his side, gain his trust, and tell you the truth when the time is right."

After hearing this, Li Luo was silent for a long time, then looked up at Zhang Heng, and said word by word, "No matter what you say is true or not, I will never betray her."

Zhang Hengwen looked at Li Luo in disbelief, and he almost collapsed screaming, "How could you be the son of our enemy, why are you so cold-blooded, you want to make dozens of members of my Shen family rest in peace in the sky ?"

The fourth prince stood aside as if he was watching a show, it could be seen that Li Luo was unwilling to compromise at such a level, he was also a little annoyed, he snorted coldly and then waved his palm, "Stubborn."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dozen or so guards behind Li Luo immediately rushed towards Li Luo. At the same time, the people who were ambushing in the dark also appeared together. Counting carefully, there were more than a dozen more people. It was premeditated.

"The only person who can let Shen'er entrust the military talisman with confidence is you, Li Luo."

Li Luohe was afraid of hand-to-hand combat, even if a few more people came, she stood upright against the wind, until the tip of the sword pointed towards the door, and finally drew her sword out of its sheath.

Between lightning and flint, sword light flashed, Li Luo's figure was erratic, shuttling among the crowd, wherever the blade went, the sword sealed his throat cleanly.

Zhang Heng lowered his eyebrows and clenched his fists, as if he was suffering.

The fourth prince glanced at him coldly, "Don't do anything yet, don't you dare to disobey this king?"

Trembling, Zhang Heng drew out the long sword on his back, raised his eyes to look at the graceful figure in the crowd, clenched the hilt of the sword tightly and hesitated for a long time, then suddenly turned around and rushed towards the fourth prince, and the sword pointed at the fourth prince and roared.

"Tell them to stop."

The tip of the sword was only two inches away from Zhang Heng's throat, and a burst of sharp energy flew out of the study room, but in the blink of an eye, it passed by the side of the Fourth Prince, and was firmly nailed into Zhang Heng's abdomen.

Zhang Heng's footsteps stopped, his body froze, he lowered his head in a daze, but saw a throwing knife in his abdomen, and then he retreated two steps tremblingly, the long sword in his hand fell off, and he knelt down on his knees powerlessly.

The blood soaked the red tassel on the handle of the flying knife, and then fell drop by drop onto the stone slab.

The fourth prince didn't move, he was clearly confident, he stared at Zhang Heng, and said with a contemptuous sneer, "A dog actually wants to bite this king."

There are still hidden masters in the study.

Li Luo's sword slashed across one person's neck, she stopped and turned around to look at Zhang Heng who was kneeling in front of the fourth prince not far away, with a complicated look in her eyes.

Seeing that Li Luo stopped his hands, the guards around hurriedly backed away, looking left and right, no one dared to step forward first.

Zhang Heng's face was as white as paper and his lips were black and blue. He was holding his abdomen and shaking, blood kept gushing from his fingers. He slowly bent down and lay at the feet of the fourth prince, begging in an extremely humble gesture, "Your Highness, read the words Nian was born and died for His Highness in a humble position, and I hope His Highness will spare her and let her go, just kill me and kill me."

The fourth prince laughed out loud, he turned his head to look at the expressionless Li Luo who was not far away, and said twice, "Look, the eldest brother is like a father, you are so cold-blooded, yet he is willing to die for you, It seems that he has been secretly protecting you all these years."

Li Luo stared at Zhang Heng's back. The fourth prince's words reminded her of a past event. Once when she was ordered by her teacher to perform a mission, she met an extraordinary guard who was not only injured but almost killed by mistake. Fortunately, someone secretly Shoot the hidden weapon to help her.

At that time, she didn't want to think about who saved her.

But after returning to the Shadow Gate, only Zhang Heng heard that she was injured and came to visit. She casually asked Zhang Heng if he rescued her secretly, but Zhang Heng smiled and said nothing, and only handed her a bottle of good golden sore medicine. Tell her to take good care of her wounds.

Memories flashed, the back of Zhang Heng pushing the door and leaving overlapped with the present, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily, begging incoherently, "Please, Your Highness begs you to spare her."

The fourth prince didn't even look at him, he walked straight past him and greeted Li Luo.

Zhang Heng struggled to raise his hand to stop the fourth prince, as if he still wanted to protect Li Luo, but he was seriously injured and couldn't catch it at all, but in vain left half a bloody handprint on the fourth prince's boots.

The fourth prince walked up to Li Luo, raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Miss Li Luo, the flying knife is poisoned, do you want to watch your brother die for you?"

The expression on Li Luo's face remained unchanged, she looked away from Zhang Heng, stared down at the long sword in her hand that was not stained with blood, and pressed her lips together without saying a word, then she seemed to nod, with a subtle movement Almost invisible.

But the fourth prince saw it clearly, he clapped his hands and laughed in satisfaction, "Hahahaha, everyone has feelings, it seems that Miss Li Luo is not a cold-blooded person."

Zhang Heng, who was lying on the ground, heard the fourth prince's laughter, and tried his best to forcefully turn around. He looked up at the fourth prince, and then at Li Luo. He didn't know whether he was crying or laughing. .

Li Luo glanced at him as if feeling something, then turned his head away, and asked coldly, "What do you want me to do for you?"

The fourth prince stopped laughing, raised his hand to touch the corner of his eyes, and said casually, "Don't worry, I know that you can't do anything to Shen'er. In fact, I don't want her to die, so I won't let you kill her." she."

Li Luo loosened the fingertips holding the long sword bit by bit, she turned her head and looked directly at the fourth prince, "Let's cut to the chase, what exactly do you want me to do?"

The fourth prince's pupils flashed a cold light, "This king wants you to kill someone."

"who?"

"Wan'er, Qingyang Princess Shen Qingwan."

Li Luo finally couldn't restrain his anger, "You asked me to kill the princess, how is this different from killing her."

The fourth prince turned around indifferently, walked to Zhang Heng's side, kicked Zhang Heng down mercilessly, and then asked coldly, "If you don't do anything, he will die?"

Zhang Heng snorted, and a large amount of blood gushed out from his abdomen again. He pressed his abdomen desperately, almost fainting from the pain.

Li Luo suddenly closed his eyes, and said sharply, "Okay, I promise you."

The expression of the fourth prince changed immediately when he heard that, he quickly approached Li Luo, grabbed her hand holding the sword, stared into Li Luo's eyes, with a hint of enthusiasm and excitement, "Can you kill her?"

The fourth prince was close at hand, Li Luo raised the tip of his sword slightly, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

kill him!

But the person hiding in the study is waiting for an opportunity, she is sure to succeed, but as long as she makes a move, Zhang Heng will definitely die.

Want to trade Zhang Heng's life for his?

With just a flash of thought, the fourth prince suddenly noticed something, he quickly let go of Li Luo's hand, retreated several steps, and stared at Li Luo with a little embarrassment.

Opportunities are so fleeting, Li Luo frowned, and calmly replied, "You can be killed with one blow within five steps."

Speaking of this, Li Luo paused, "Beyond five steps, there is no chance of winning."

Even if Shen Qingwan was injured, as long as he stayed five steps away from her, Li Luo would not be sure that he could avoid her flying needles like drizzle.

The Fourth Prince Wen was obviously a little surprised. He knew that Shen Qingwan was very skilled, but he didn't expect that even Li Luo, known as the world's number one assassin, would need to approach within five steps to be sure, "Is she really so powerful?"

Li Luo retorted, "If the fourth prince doesn't believe it, you can try it yourself."

The fourth prince contemptuously raised his finger and pointed to his head, "How can you use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? This king uses this to kill people, so why use a knife to dirty your hands."

After finishing speaking, the fourth prince Youyou held his hands behind his back, and said complacently, "Shen'er trusts you so much, it shouldn't be difficult for you to get close to Wan'er."

Li Luo put his sword back into its sheath, "When do you want me to do it?"

The fourth prince frowned and said, "The sooner the better, if you can succeed tonight, it will be the best."

Li Luowen sarcastically said, "Is that why you can't tolerate her?"

The fourth prince took a deep breath, and he squinted his eyes slightly. When he thought of Shen Qingwan's appearance of being resourceful and resourceful, and her method of disrupting the world like a pot of clear water, he felt a chill in his back, and he He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "As long as she doesn't die, this king will have no peace."

How can one who owns the world be afraid?

And his fear is Shen Qingwan.
