Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

In the courtyard.

Lin Jiangnian looked at Li Piaomiao, who was faintly chilled, and was somewhat surprised.

It was late at night, but the lights in the courtyard were still bright.

Li Piaomiao was wearing a plain white dress, and her temperament was cold. She had just come out of retreat, and she had not combed her black hair, which was scattered and swaying in the wind. On that stunning face, her face was like frost!

A trace of coldness lingered around her body, and her calm eyes contained murderous intent.

Lin Jiangnian rarely saw her look like this!

The impression that the princess had always given him was cold and calm, and she would not show any expression no matter what happened.

But now, Lin Jiangnian felt the suppressed murderous intent in the princess' heart.

There was no concealment at all!

It can be seen that she is very angry at the moment!

Obviously, all this is related to An Ning's injury.

It must be said that An Ning looked a little embarrassed at this time. She was messy and dirty, and the blood on the cloth of the simple bandage on her arm looked miserable and her injuries were not light.

No wonder Li Piaomiao was so angry!

She asked Lin Jiangnian for the list, obviously to stand up for An Ning.

She didn't even ask for the specific list!

It has always been the style of this eldest princess to kill the wrong person and not let him go.

At this time, An Ning, who had been lowering her head and was a little angry, finally seemed to think of something. She raised her head slightly, looked at her own princess, and then looked at Lin Jiangnian. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jiangnian noticed her expression and turned around to ask.

"Yes, it's a black-robed man..."

An Ning moved her eyes away from Lin Jiangnian and spoke in a slightly lower voice.

"What?"

Lin Jiangnian didn't hear it clearly.

An Ning lowered her head and spoke in a very light voice, carefully: "A black-robed man appeared. He, his martial arts are extremely high..."

Black-robed man?

Lin Jiangnian was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully, as if he realized something: "An Ning, you mean... In addition to the previous assassins, you also met a black-robed man?"

"Is he very good at martial arts?"

"He hurt you?!"

An Ning didn't say anything, but nodded.

Lin Jiangnian immediately understood.

No wonder he felt something was strange just now!

An Ning's martial arts are very high. Although the specific strength is not clear, it is estimated that it is at least above the third rank, and it may be the second rank. The apparent strength is definitely higher than Lin Jiangnian.

As for the previous assassins, Lin Jiangnian was able to judge their approximate strength when fighting with them, which was about the fourth rank.

With such strength, it is absolutely impossible to pose a big threat to An Ning.

Even if they join forces, although An Ning may accidentally suffer some losses, it is impossible to cause such great harm to An Ning!

When helping An Ning check his arm injury just now, Lin Jiangnian noticed that An Ning suffered a slight internal injury.

That was clearly an injury that could only be caused by the impact of a stronger internal force master. Those assassins obviously couldn't do that!

However, Lin Jiangnian was too concerned about An Ning's injury just now and didn't think about it carefully. It was not until An Ning mentioned the existence of a black-robed man that Lin Jiangnian realized something belatedly.

"What black-robed man? What's his origin? Did you fight him?!"

Lin Jiangnian asked, his face slightly condensed.

An Ning's eyes were a little dazed. Recalling the scene of fighting with the black-robed man, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes.

Although it was only a short fight, it made her remember it deeply!

An Ning spoke in a low voice, stuttering a little, talking about what happened before Lin Jiangnian found her, and describing the appearance of the black-robed man, as well as the other party's extremely strange, profound and terrifying martial arts.

When An Ning finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly became silent.

Lin Jiangnian and Li Piaomiao looked at each other and saw the understanding in each other's eyes.

Black-robed man?

Wearing a bronze mask?

And the martial arts strength that can match Li Piaomiao?

How many people in the world can meet these descriptions?

To be precise, there is only one person... the leader of the Tianshen Sect!

Whether it is Lin Jiangnian or Li Piaomiao, the first person that comes to mind is the leader!

The leader of the Tianshen Sect, really appeared in Linjiang City? !

Lin Jiangnian's eyes condensed slightly. He asked Lin Qingqing to investigate Liu Su's whereabouts before, and found out from the believers of the Tianshen Sect that the leader might appear in Linzhou.

Unexpectedly, he has already arrived in Linjiang City, and is coming for him? !

Lin Jiangnian frowned. What is the purpose of the leader of the Tianshen Sect looking for him tonight?

Is he coming for the Xuanyang Heart Method?

Calculating the time, it has been almost half a year since Lin Jiangnian handed the first volume of the Xuanyang Heart Method to the leader in the capital.

I don't know how the leader is practicing now?

Calculating the time, it is indeed time to ask Lin Jiangnian for the second volume!

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangnian's eyes were deep, but somewhat puzzled.

The leader of the Heavenly God Cult didn't see Lin Jiangnian and wanted to attack An Ning. Perhaps he wanted to use An Ning to force Lin Jiangnian to show up. But why did he suddenly let An Ning go and left?

Lin Jiangnian wanted to ask An Ning for details, but An Ning looked confused and didn't know how to explain.

She really didn't know what happened!

She just remembered that when she was in that alley before, she took a move from the other party and was slightly injured. Just when she thought she might die tonight, the man in black robe suddenly left.

Very strange!

Inexplicable!

"What do you think?"

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at Li Miaomiao who was standing aside. Speaking of which, Li Miaomiao was probably more familiar with the leader.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the third prince rebelled! Li Piaomiao had a fight with a mysterious black-robed man in the palace and was seriously injured!

Although Li Piaomiao never revealed it, Lin Jiangnian had always guessed that the mysterious black-robed man was probably the leader of the Celestial Sect!

Li Piaomiao looked at An Ning with a cold expression: "Did he hurt you?"

"Um……"

An Ning nodded.

"Where has he gone now?"

An Ning shook his head.

Li Piaomiao looked at Lin Jiangnian.

Lin Jiangnian said: "The city gate is closed at this point, and he is probably still in the city. The city defense army and the guards of Prince Lin's Mansion are searching the city, and they should be able to find some clues soon..."

Before Lin Jiangnian could finish speaking, Li Miaomiao had already looked at An Ning: "Give me the sword."

An Ning looked slightly stunned. She didn't know why the princess suddenly asked her for a sword. However, after being stunned for a moment, An Ning handed the sword to the princess.

Li Piaomiao took the sword and turned around: "I'm going out!"

"etc……"

Lin Jiangnian realized something and quickly called out to her: "Calm down first, don't rush..."

Before Lin Jiangnian finished speaking, Li Pianmiao swayed from the spot, leaving an afterimage. When he blinked again, the figure in white had already appeared outside the courtyard, and a white shadow passed by in the sky.

Soon, there was no trace.

Lin Jiangnian and An Ning were left standing there, looking at the direction Li Miaomiao left.

After a while, Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply.

I can’t help it!

I can’t help it at all!

An Ning was injured tonight, and Li Pianmiao was obviously angry. She asked An Ning for a sword, and went out in such a hurry, obviously to settle a score with the leader of the Celestial Sect.

However, she was a little too hasty!

Not to mention whether it can be found, even if it can be found... that leader's martial arts are extremely high, and he is probably on par with Li Miaomiao!

In the battle in the palace half a year ago, Li Miaomiao was seriously injured, causing cold poison in his body. If Lin Jiangnian hadn't come to the rescue, she would have been in danger!

Now that she's in such a hurry to go out, it's really hard to feel reassured.

Lin Jiangnian quickly summoned the guards of the house. After Lin Jiangnian was assassinated, Lin Qingqing had already left the house with her guards to investigate the assassin.

Lin Jiangnian called Lin Kong, who was still at the house, and ordered him to quickly lead a group of the prince's troops out of the house and follow the eldest princess to search for the leader of the Tianshen Sect. At the same time, he ordered them to protect the eldest princess.

After Lin Kong took the order, he left in a hurry without any hesitation.

Now that the eldest princess is temporarily staying in Prince Lin's Mansion, they naturally want to ensure her safety. If anything happens to the eldest princess in Prince Lin's Mansion, Prince Lin's Mansion will not be able to escape the blame.

…

"Your Highness, An Ning, are you back?!"

backyard.

Jinxiu held up her skirt and hurried into the room.

As soon as she entered the room, she seemed to see something unbelievable, and her footsteps suddenly stopped: "What are you... doing?!"

Jinxiu opened her eyes wide and looked at the scene in the room.

Bright lights illuminated the front hall, and An Ning, dressed in a white dress, was sitting at the table.

But at this moment, her hair was a little messy, her fair face had a look of embarrassment, she was biting her lower lip and looking away.

Like a little daughter-in-law who has been bullied!

As for her long white dress, it was somewhat tattered, as if it had been torn. At first glance, it looked like it had just been ruined.

Lin Jiangnian was standing right in front of An Ning, with his back to the door and his body slightly bent towards An Ning. Looking from Jinxiu's line of sight, she happened to see An Ning with a look of 'humiliation and humiliation' on her face, and she was standing in front of An Ning, 'tearing' An Ning's clothes, vaguely revealing her snow-white skin!

What are you doing?

The picture is full of sense!

Jinxiu's head immediately buzzed!

Her beautiful eyes immediately opened wide, and her voice became urgent and nervous!

Jinxiu's voice startled the two people in the room.

Especially An Ning, her delicate body trembled subconsciously when she heard Jinxiu's voice. When he raised his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Jinxiu appearing at the door, looking at the two of them with shock and anger.

It seemed as if the two of them had done something sorry for her behind her back!

For a moment, An Ning looked panicked, and instinctively wanted to struggle!

"Don't move!"

Just as she was about to move, Lin Jiangnian's voice came to her ears. Her body froze again and she didn't dare to move.

Lin Jiangnian looked back at Jinxiu at the door, confused: "Why are you so loud?"

"you……"

Jinxiu's voice was slightly hoarse, and she was about to ask, but when she calmed down for a moment, she quickly discovered something.

"An Ning, you, what's wrong with you?!"

When she first broke in, Jinxiu saw the scene in front of her and really wondered if His Highness was doing some bastard act of forcing An Ning.

But after Jinxiu calmed down, he felt that it was unreasonable. His Highness did not seem like this kind of person... And how could he not close the door?

After taking a calm look, Jinxiu quickly discovered something was wrong!

An Ning looks wrong!

Taking a closer look, Jinxiu's face suddenly changed slightly: "An Ning, are you injured?!"

Jinxiu soon discovered that An Ning's expression was not right and he looked a little messy. On the other side, the sleeve of An Ning's right arm was being torn off, revealing the girl's fair skin, and there was a red wound on the arm.

Only then did Jinxiu realize something... His Highness was checking An Ning's wounds?

Instantly, the guilt for doubting and misunderstanding His Highness surged in her heart, and she felt a little guilty. But then, this emotion was dispersed by the nervousness of knowing that An Ning was injured. She quickly approached and found An Ning's wound, and her face became even uglier: "What's going on?"

"An Ning, how are you injured? Who hurt you?!"

An Ning slightly looked away and lowered her head: "I, I'm fine..."

"You are bleeding, how come you are still fine?!"

Jinxiu looked nervous and anxious.

She never thought that An Ning would be injured not long after they separated? !

What on earth is going on?

"Your Highness, how did An Ning get injured? Is it serious?"

Jinxiu's pretty face was tense and a little confused.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Go and prepare a basin of hot water for me!"

"Oh, okay!"

Hearing His Highness' words, Jinxiu was slightly relieved, and didn't care about being anxious, and quickly got up and went out to get hot water.

Lin Jiangnian tore off the cloth on An Ning's sleeve, untied the simple bandage, and completely exposed the wound.

The wound was not deep, and the bone was not exposed. It was just a flesh wound. Due to the previous bandage, the wound had stopped bleeding. But it still needs to be treated well, otherwise if the wound is infected, it will be bad.

"Does it still hurt?"

Lin Jiangnian asked in a low voice.

No response.

He looked up and saw An Ning staring at him in a daze.

When Lin Jiangnian looked up, their eyes met. An Ning seemed to come back to her senses suddenly, a blush appeared on her fair face, and she looked away in panic.

"No, it hurts!"

The tone of voice was very unnatural.

"Really it doesn't hurt?"

Lin Jiangnian asked again.

An Ning was silent and didn't speak.

"Don't be so stubborn next time!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed. How could it not hurt? No matter how powerful a master is, he is still a human being, and it will hurt when he is injured.

What's more, this is the weak little girl who cried last time?

An Ning's body was slightly stiff, and she just sat there stiffly, straight and straight.

She turned her head away, not looking at Lin Jiangnian.

It seemed deliberate and stubborn.

Childish behavior!

Lin Jiangnian shook his head, a little funny.

Compared to Jinxiu, An Ning's behavior is more like a child!

A sulking child!

"Are you still angry with me?"

Lin Jiangnian asked in a low voice.

No response.

An Ning still turned her head away, not letting Lin Jiangnian see her face.

On this beautiful face that was turned away, the girl was biting her lips tightly, as if she was trying her best to maintain a cold and tense expression.

She didn't want to show her timidity!

But in those clear and lively eyes in the past, there was a bit of grievance that could be seen with the naked eye.

She looked a little pitiful!

And very stubborn!

Very cute!
