Chapter 206 The Real Master Behind the Scenes Appears

"Dead, dead?!"

Gu Chaosheng's eyes were full of horror and disbelief, and his whole body was almost trembling.

This, how is this possible? !

Whether it is Duan Tiande or Yue Pingsheng, they are both long-established masters in the world. Their martial arts are unfathomable and each has their own unique skills. Yue Pingsheng's double-edged mandarin ducks are rarely matched in the world, and his natural virtue is even more extraordinary. The Duan family's swordsmanship passed down from his family is famous all over the world, and can even compete with the swordsmanship of kendo.

How could the two of them die?

Gu Chaosheng couldn't believe it, but Prince Lin was right in front of him and he was still safe and sound.

Wouldn't that mean...

Did the assassination really fail? !

Gu Chaosheng looked shocked. Even though he had always been calm, he finally panicked at this moment.

"No, impossible!"

Gu Chaosheng spoke in fear.

He still couldn't accept this fact and struggled to get up. But as soon as he moved, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his chest. The pain made his whole body twitch and almost fall apart, and there was a sweet taste in his mouth.

"puff!"

Gu Chaosheng's face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of thick blood.

In that moment, he was seriously injured.

"No need to struggle, you can't run away!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at Gu Chaosheng, who had almost lost his fighting ability, and shook his head slightly.

At this time, Gu Chaosheng also realized this. So many of them came to assassinate Prince Lin tonight, but in the end they failed.

He underestimated Prince Lin, and even more underestimated the masters around Prince Lin!

Now that Lin Jiangnian is still alive here, regardless of whether Duan Tiande and Yue Ping live or die, it means that their assassination plan has failed!

It’s not a good place to stay for a long time!

Thinking of this, Gu Chaosheng's eyes flashed with a sharp edge.

"Go to hell!"

Gu Chaosheng suddenly snorted coldly and rushed towards Lin Jiangnian.

The attack was extremely fierce and sudden, like a surprise attack.

Lin Jiangnian was well prepared and dodged slightly to avoid Gu Chaosheng's attack.

But Gu Chaosheng suddenly changed his offensive, stood up suddenly, jumped up, rushed out of the crowd, and fled towards the window of the inn.

The assassination plan has failed and he is seriously injured. If he continues to stay here, his life may be in danger.

Evacuate first!

However, just as Gu Chaosheng ran to the window, a sharp sword energy suddenly struck behind him. Gu Chaosheng was so horrified that he didn't dare to block him. He suddenly turned around and jumped out from the window sill.

He rolled on the ground in a panic, and when he was about to get up, a sharp sword suddenly pressed against his neck.

Gu Chaosheng's whole body trembled violently, and just as he was about to take action, a cold voice came: "If you move again, you will die!"

The cold tone was full of murderous intent, which made Gu Chaosheng's pupils shrink, but he still did not sit still and wait for death.

Tonight, he failed to assassinate Prince Linwang. Once he was at ease, he would fall into the hands of Prince Linwang and he would definitely die!

Gu Chaosheng didn't believe that Prince Lin would spare his life!

In this case, he must find a way to escape no matter what.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chaosheng burst out with a strong desire to survive. Fighting against his injured body, his majestic internal energy surged out.

However, the next second, his whole body stiffened suddenly!

His pupils were wide open, staring in disbelief at the cold and beautiful woman in front of him!

There was a clearly visible blood mark on his neck, and blood spilled down his neck. Gu Chaosheng's body was stiff, and his eyes were horrified, as if he didn't expect that the other party would do it right away.

The blood all over his body was cold, and he fell down unwillingly.

"How did you kill him?"

Lin Jiangnian's voice came from the side. He glanced at Gu Chaosheng who was dead on the ground, and then turned to look at the cold-looking paper kite holding a sword. He sighed softly: "Keep him, maybe you can pry it out from his mouth." Order something!”

Zhiyuan said nothing, but slowly turned around and looked at the corner not far away in the inn.

There is another person in the corner not far away!

Sikongli.

At this moment, Sikong Li also looked embarrassed, with injuries on his body. The high-spirited look he had seen not long ago on his face was gone, replaced by paleness and fear.

Especially when Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan's eyes fell on him at the same time, Sikong Li's face was extremely pale at this moment, without any trace of blood, and his frightened expression made him shaky and almost unsteady.

The panic in his eyes is hard to conceal!

"Hey, there's another one?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, and then he remembered that there was still a living person in the inn. He squinted and looked Sikong Li up and down: "What about you? Do you want to survive?"

Sikong Li's eyes were filled with fear. Witnessing Gu Chaosheng's tragic death with his own eyes shocked him greatly, and he could not hide the fear in his heart. After being famous for many years, he finally achieved his current status, so naturally he was not willing to die.

The situation is now over, the assassination failed!

He has no choice!

"I, I..."

Sikong Li swallowed hard and spoke tremblingly: "Tonight, this, this is all a misunderstanding... I, I didn't want to come, but it was them..."

"This, this is all a misunderstanding..."

"Misunderstand?"

Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes and the smile on his face became wider: "So, do you want to survive?"

Sikong Li's face froze. He had been famous for many years and was considered a figure in the world. It would be too humiliating for him to say such words of begging for mercy as wanting to live in public.

His expression changed again and again, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"It seems that your determination to survive is not strong enough!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at him and sneered.

The next second, the kite beside him moved.

The sharp sword energy, the green light rippled, and the killing intent approached in an instant.

Sikong Li's face suddenly changed, and he rushed to meet the attack, but as soon as he touched it, he was shocked by the sword energy and retreated seven or eight steps. His body was churning and he spit out several mouthfuls of blood.

When he looked up, the green sword had already landed on his neck. The sharp edge was exposed, and the killing intent was about to go off!

Sikong Li was terrified, and the last bit of luck finally dissipated.

Tonight, tonight I'm afraid...

"Since you don't want to live, then this prince will send you off."

Lin Jiangnian sneered and waved his hand.

The next second, the killing intent locked him again!

"Wait, wait..."

Sikong Li spoke with difficulty and slowly raised his head. At this moment, he had lost half of his spirit. The fear of death on his neck enveloped him, making his heart tremble and shudder!

He didn't want to die!

He still wanted to live!

He still has so much wealth and glory to enjoy!

The next second, Sikong Li suddenly fell to his knees, his head drooped, his voice was hoarse, but with a bit of deep trembling.

"I, I don't want to die!"

"Your Highness, spare me, spare my life..."

"..."

After midnight, it was almost dawn.

This night in the small town was destined to be sleepless

The battle in the inn finally came to an end.

With the death of Yue Pingsheng and Gu Chaosheng, Duan Tiande's evacuation, and Sikong Li's begging for mercy, as these masters were defeated, the assassins in the inn also collapsed!

After realizing that the assassination failed, the assassins began to evacuate.

Then, the inn gradually quieted down.

What was left was a mess of ruins, like a purgatory on earth.

That night, the prince's personal army suffered heavy losses, with more than half of them killed or wounded. And those assassins who came and went suffered even more casualties. The entire inn was filled with blood everywhere. The remaining guards began to clean up the battlefield, treat the injured, and deal with the bodies on the scene.

The whole inn was filled with an indescribable sadness.

It was about to dawn, but no one was sleepy.

Shen Lingjun stood in the inn, her face pale, looking at the tragic scene around her, with a myriad of emotions in her heart.

When had she ever seen such a scene?

Why did so many people die?

In addition to the assassins and the personal army of Prince Lin, there were many ordinary people implicated inside and outside the inn who died tragically tonight.

"Who wants your life?"

She looked at Lin Jiangnian with a pale face, wanting to find an answer.

"Who knows?"

Lin Jiangnian looked calm, smiling: "Maybe it's a righteous heroine like you!"

"Impossible!"

Shen Lingjun gritted her teeth: "If I want to kill, I will only kill you, and will never implicate other innocent people!"

"So you are a good person?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Do you want to praise you a few more words?"

Shen Lingjun did not hear the yin and yang in Lin Jiangnian's tone, and looked around with a bit of sadness.

So many innocent people sacrificed, it was difficult for her to calm down, and there was an indescribable anger in her chest, which was difficult to vent.

"Look, you always say that this prince has done many evil things, which are too numerous to list. But this scene in front of me..."

Lin Jiangnian paused, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "In order to kill this prince, they implicated so many innocent people. Are their crimes more worthy of death than this prince?"

Lin's tone was very relaxed, but Shen Lingjun was completely silent.

His eyes became more and more confused.

The maid behind him carefully bandaged the wound on Lin Jiangnian's back. Lin Jiangnian stood up and walked to the other side of Zhiyuan. Zhiyuan was with Lin Qingqing. Lin Qingqing's injury was not light and she needed to rest and recover as soon as possible.

In addition, Lin Kong was also seriously injured.

Tonight, it is destined to be a tragic ending!

Zhiyuan turned her head to look at him and said softly: "It's getting late, rest early."

There was a little imperceptible concern in the cold tone.

Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, but just gently held her hand, feeling the touch of the cold little hand, and was silent for a while.

"What's wrong?"

Zhiyuan seemed to notice his abnormality and asked.

"I feel that it's not over yet!"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly spoke.

Zhiyuan looked puzzled.

"Don't you think everything is too simple?"

Lin Jiangnian was silent for a while, and said: "Don't you think everything that happened tonight is a little too smooth?"

Simple? Smoothly?

Behind him, Shen Lingjun was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the miserable situation inside and outside the inn.

How is this simple?

How many people were injured or killed?

How is this simple at all?

Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, and then thought: "What do you mean..."

"Among the people I met tonight, Duan Tiande, who fought with you, has the highest martial arts, but..."

Lin Jiangnian stared at Zhiyuan's eyes and did not continue.

But Zhiyuan's eyes were bright, and he quickly understood what he meant from Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

"What do you mean..."

"I just have a guess!"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually narrowed and became more and more solemn.

Then, as if they had a premonition, Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan turned their heads almost at the same time and looked at the staircase of the inn not far away.

Just at the staircase of the inn where people were coming and going, a familiar figure appeared at the side of the stairs and was sitting there quietly.

"Master, why are you here?"

Shen Lingjun saw the uncle sitting at the stairs and walked up to him quickly: "Uncle, where did you go just now?"

Just now, the inn was in chaos, and Shen Lingjun was busy protecting Xiaozhu and didn't pay attention to where the uncle went. However, Shen Lingjun was not worried about the safety of the uncle.

The person sitting at the stairs was Shen Lingjun's uncle, Mr. Shen.

At this time, Mr. Shen leaned slightly against the handrail at the stairs, and the box that he almost always carried with him was still beside him. He half-squinted his eyes and was slowly looking at Lin Jiangnian not far away.

Eye to eye!

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian finally thought about something.

"So, it was you?!"

Lin Jiangnian's tone was indifferent, as if he was a little surprised, but very calm.

"It was me."

Mr. Shen spoke slowly, his voice was low and a little old, and he seemed to regret something.

Shen Lingjun stopped and looked puzzled.

Uncle, what are you talking about?

What is he?

She looked at Lin Jiangnian, then at her master, with a puzzled look on her face.

"I should have thought of this earlier."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly laughed, but his eyes were still fixed on Shen Lao: "They are just a trick. And you are the real master!"

"Right?!"

Lin Jiangnian's voice was very calm, but there was a bit of coldness in his tone.

The atmosphere suddenly became cold at this moment.

Shen Lao looked at Lin Jiangnian calmly and sighed: "Your Highness Prince Lin is really smart!"

"Smart?"

Lin Jiangnian sneered at himself: "If this prince is smart, he would not realize this now!"

"I have to say, Senior Shen is really good at hiding!"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes gradually became colder.

At this time, Shen Lingjun looked more and more confused.

"You, what are you talking about?"

She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell.

Old Shen said calmly: "If not, how could His Royal Highness let down his guard?"

"There were so many opportunities on the road, why didn't you do it?"

"The time has not come yet!"

"What time?"

"..."

Old Shen didn't answer this question, and Lin Jiangnian didn't really want to know. He looked at Old Shen not far away, his eyes gradually cold.

From the beginning, he realized that Old Shen was not that simple!

But he didn't expect that he would hide so deeply!

From Zhongzhou to Beijing, Old Shen didn't show any abnormality along the way. He even had a good relationship with Lin Jiangnian. The two often exchanged and drank together. Old Shen also instructed Lin Jiangnian in martial arts from time to time, completely like a kind and respected person who instructed the younger generation!

It was also because of this that Lin Jiangnian's suspicion of him at the beginning relaxed a lot as the relationship became closer along the way!

But he didn't expect that he would be fooled in the end!

Just tonight, under this assassination, just when everyone thought it was over. Lin Jiangnian suffered heavy losses and almost all the masters were injured.

The real master who was hiding the deepest finally surfaced!

At this moment, Lin Jiangnian's tone was full of self-mockery.

"So, who is it that asked you to assassinate this prince?!"

"..."
