Who among the gangsters wants to fall in love?

Chapter 172: Nature is the Jianghu

Earlier, in a secluded corner of the side hall, Su Qingqi went to find Lady Canghua and explained Zhao Wumian's plan in secret.

Ever since Zhao Wumian learned how to transmit secret messages, the girls have also learned how to do it.

"A body double?" Empress Canghua frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "If the emperor uses a body double at the coronation ceremony, it is no small matter. If he is not careful, he will be impeached, which will damage the emperor's prestige... It's like killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own. If Luo Shuzhi is really willing to do this, I have to look up to him... But Zhao Wumian knew Luo Shuzhi's plan as soon as he arrived in the capital?"

As she spoke, Lady Canghua's expression became strange. Zhao Wumian's brain was indeed very useful, but was he really so accurate in predicting things? If that was really the case, she was about to think of breaking Zhao Wumian's legs and keeping him in Canghua Tower forever to use for her own benefit.

Su Qingqi recalled Zhao Wumian's instructions, and then said:
"Luo Shuzhi knows that the young master has 200,000 Jin troops and 100,000 Chu naval forces under his command, and he also knows that we have at least four martial arts masters available. Therefore, if Luo Shuzhi wants to succeed to the throne safely, he can only let Eunuch Lin stay by his side at all times to ensure his own safety. In this way, we cannot rush into the palace to kill him directly, otherwise it is not allowed by law...

Master Dongxuan, the leader of the Sword Sect, Chen Qiyuan would definitely not be willing to take such a big risk for the sake of the sect. After all, even if he rushed into the palace, he might not be able to kill him. There might be an ambush in the palace...

But if Luo Shuzhi is not dead, the princess will not be able to succeed to the throne. Assassination is not feasible, so she can only lead the army to quell the rebellion. But now the Rong people are blocking the pass. Once they start an army, Dali will be finished. In the end, both sides will suffer losses, and the Rong people will gain.
Therefore, the young master will enter the capital openly to test the king. If Luo Shuzhi continues to keep Eunuch Lin by his side, it means that he still wants to compete with the young master for the throne, even if it means that Dali will fall apart. But if he sends Eunuch Lin out of the palace to kill him and allows the young master to enter the Taiji Palace, it will undoubtedly give the young master the opportunity to assassinate the king. Luo Shuzhi will not be so stupid..."

Su Qingqi paused, and then told her the conclusion Zhao Wumian had told her, "So Luo Shuzhi must want to use his death to make you unacceptable to the world, and even let the princess bear the name of being immoral and unrighteous for murdering her own brother. This is his last resort, but you believe that Luo Shuzhi definitely does not want to die, so a substitute is the best solution. After you kill Luo Shuzhi's substitute, he will either show up to take charge of the situation, or escape from the palace in advance..."

Lady Canghua took out a winter date from her sleeve and threw it into her red lips, chewed it a little, and thought silently.

He thought to himself that the affairs of the court and the affairs of the underworld were indeed different.

Ever since Zhao Wumian entered the capital, he and Luo Shuzhi had been fighting, testing each other, and countering each other's moves... You have to know that it has only been more than a month since Emperor Jingzheng passed away, and so many things have happened in such a short time.

She has now witnessed how cruel the fight for the throne is.

After a moment, she covered her face with her sleeves, took out the date pit and wrapped it in a handkerchief, with an elegant manner, and then asked: "It makes sense, but it's all guesswork, what if it's wrong?"

Su Qingqi dragged Lady Canghua out of the palace, whispering, "Even if you guessed wrong, as long as the 'Luo Shuzhi' at the coronation ceremony dies, Miss Shen should be allowed to take the stage."

Queen Canghua glanced at her little hand that was held by Su Qingqi.

If anyone touched her like this in the underworld... women would have their hands chopped off, and men would be killed. But now, of course, she couldn't chop them off, so she could only endure it.

She lifted her skirt slightly with her other hand, and then looked back into the hall... She hadn't seen her aunt yet, so why was she leaving like that?
She sighed softly and frowned, "What does Zhao Wumian want me to do?"

"The young master will use the Jin army and the Chu navy to create the most favorable situation for the princess to succeed to the throne in Dali. Therefore, Miss Shen needs to disguise herself as Luo Shuzhi to test how many of the civil and military officials in the court are dedicated to the public, how many are full of selfish desires, or are originally the prince's party."

Empress Canghua blinked, a hint of surprise flashing in the depths of her beautiful eyes, "This matter isn't over yet, and Zhao Wumian has already started thinking about eliminating dissidents in the court? How far does he think?"

Su Qingqi couldn't help but puff out her chest...My man is just awesome.

She continued with her head held high: "Not only that, if my elder brother and the others failed to kill Eunuch Lin, he would have fled to the palace. At that time, he would have been covered in wounds. If I could get close to him as Luo Shuzhi, it would be the best opportunity to kill him..."

As she spoke, Su Qingqi turned her head and looked at Lady Canghua, "I heard from the young master that you can transmit secret sounds and practice martial arts. I wonder how strong you are, but can you seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to assassinate Wu Kui?"

Su Qingqi sensed it a little bit... couldn't sense it?

Not to mention internal strength, even when Shen Xiangge was running, she had to hold up her skirt with one hand. Her every move was like that of a delicate and frail young lady who would fall down at the slightest push. It was hard to tell that she had practiced any martial arts.

Does this Miss Shen know martial arts?
She then said, "If you don't know martial arts, you can disguise me as Luo Shuzhi and I will kill Xia Chengsong... But I'm not as tall as Luo Shuzhi, so I'll put something in my boots. Fortunately, it's winter now and I'm wearing thick clothes. As long as my height is not a problem, there shouldn't be any problem just by looking at my body shape."

Lady Canghua wanted to laugh, thinking that if I showed my true strength, even ten of your sons would not be enough to defeat me. However, she remained calm and said modestly:
"Well... I love martial arts, I have good talent, a rich family, and am not short of resources. I can be called the best among the masters... No matter how powerful the martial arts master is, he is still a human being. When I disguise myself as Luo Shuzhi, I will take advantage of the moment when Eunuch Lin is distracted and pierce his heart meridian. He will die anyway."

After that, she shook her head, "But disguise is not just about changing your face or putting something in your boots. It also involves changing your voice, body shape, past posture, and even your aura. Even the slightest difference will make it impossible to hide from Eunuch Lin's perception... I have some experience with this, so let me do it."

No matter how badly Eunuch Lin was injured, he was still a master of the bridge between heaven and earth, and his perception ability had long since become an instinct... Fortunately, Lady Canghua herself was also a martial arts master, and as a demon woman she had deeply mastered this art, so if it was only three or four short sentences, it would be enough to deceive Eunuch Lin.

Su Qingqi nodded. She was not very good at disguise, so she asked, "Let's go find the Queen first and ask her to take us to the study room behind the Taiji Palace. You can disguise yourself there. After the young master kills Luo Shu, you can find a chance to enter from the side hall... Where is the martial arts master of your Shen family?"

It's right in front of you.

"how?"

"After achieving unity between heaven and man, the five senses have already reached a realm that ordinary people cannot reach, and this is even more so after the bridge between heaven and earth has been established. Therefore, if Luo Shuzhi really used a substitute, we must dig him out. We cannot waste even a second at this moment... If the best martial arts expert of your Shen family can enter the palace, let him come quickly. It will naturally be faster for him to search for him."

In other words, Zhao Wumian gave Su Qingqi and Lady Canghua three tasks.

Look for Luo Shuzhi, test the ministers in the court, and assassinate the seriously injured Eunuch Lin.

Thinking of this, Empress Canghua sighed again.

He has both strength and brains... How did Luo Chaoyan pick up this precious jade? She was also in Jin at the time, and it would have been great if she could have gone to Qinfeng Village to find out what was going on.

But there was nothing that could be done, because Empress Canghua had her own matters to deal with in Taiyuan at the time and could not get away.

As he spoke, Su Qingqi looked Madam Canghua up and down, a little puzzled, "But I grew up in the capital, and I have never heard that your Shen family has a martial arts master."

"The Shen family is no worse than your Su family. Your Su family has martial arts champions, so why don't we have any? They are just hidden in the dark as a trump card. We don't want to repeat the mistakes of Princess Jin."

Empress Canghua smiled slightly, and her mood improved. "Aunt will dress up to attend the coronation ceremony today. According to the time, she must still be in Kunning Palace, but she cannot enter the harem. Just wait in the corridor for a while."

What Lady Canghua said made sense and although Su Qingqi still had doubts, now was not the time to pursue the matter.

The two women had a smooth journey thanks to their status and came to the only way from Kunning Palace to Taiji Hall. Then Lady Canghua pretended to leave temporarily on the pretext of "contacting Wu Kui".

In fact, she was concentrating, holding up her skirt and stepping in the snow, feeling it as she walked for a while.

After connecting the bridge of heaven and earth, perception can reach an area of ​​several miles in radius... Different martial arts masters have different focuses, so the perception distance, degree of subtlety, etc. are naturally different.

Lady Canghua is not very good at it, but her skills are pretty good too.

It is impossible to know the topography of the palace by perception alone. Perception is just perception, not the power of the mind leaving the body... But as long as one searches inch by inch, it is still possible to find a living person. Unless Luo Shuzhi himself is also a martial arts master, or has some treasure with concealed aura, he will definitely not be able to hide it from Empress Canghua.

With my eyes closed at this moment, thousands of voices sink into my heart. Although complicated, they are not chaotic at all.

She slowly sorted out the threads, discarded the junk information, and searched only for Luo Shuzhi's scent.

According to etiquette, after Luo Shuzhi got up and had breakfast, he would go to the ancestral hall. Calculating the time, Zhao Wumian would enter the capital at this moment.

Zhao Wumian's arrival in Beijing was sudden, and Luo Shuzhi certainly had no preparations beforehand. He must have heard the news from Zhao Wumian before letting his substitute perform the coronation ceremony. However, the coronation attire was extremely complicated, and it took a lot of time to put it on. The owner of Jinxiufang only made one for Luo Shuzhi, so he had to send the palace servants away and let the substitute wear it...

Empress Canghua first went to the outer perimeter of the Taiji Hall to sense a little bit... There were only palace maids and officials from the Ministry of Rites cleaning inside.

She turned around and left without hesitation, and rushed towards the ancestral hall. On the way, a guard or a master from the palace stopped her and asked her questions. She revealed her identity and acted aggrieved.

"I haven't seen my aunt for many days since the prince was poisoned. I am anxious to go find her... Is that not possible?"

The evil witch is extremely skilled in bewitching people.

Moreover, the niece of the Queen wanted to find her, who would dare to break this taboo and stop her? Aren't you afraid of being resented and eventually becoming the Queen's pillow talk?

Therefore, no one dared to stop her, and at most they would verbally warn her not to go to certain places.

The ancestral hall is located in the inner court, which is also the harem. No one can enter unless they are members of the royal family...even if she is the queen's niece.

Therefore, Lady Canghua turned back to Su Qingqi.

Su Qingqi folded her hands and stood neatly in the snow, with a silk sleeve draped around her body. She stood gracefully. The scattered snowflakes made her temperament more ethereal and her skin looked extremely white.

Even though Empress Canghua was one of the most beautiful women in the capital, she had to admit that Su Qingqi was indeed extremely beautiful... Zhao Wumian had found a treasure.

"Have the masters from your Shen family come to the palace?" Su Qingqi looked up when she heard the voice.

"He searches the outer court, and we search the inner court... We have to let our aunt take us to the inner court, because he can't enter."

Su Qingqi nodded without any suspicion.

The two women did not have to wait long. Soon, a figure appeared in the distance in the corridor.

The Empress was wearing a deep red dress and a fur coat embroidered with golden phoenixes, wrapping herself tightly. However, her figure was so good that one could still see her bulging chest and waist, which outlined an extremely exaggerated curve. She had a gentle and gorgeous bun with a red hairpin and precious jade ornaments. Looking down, her eyebrows were dotted with cinnabar to form a chrysanthemum, and her lips were curled red, making her look noble but not coquettish.

Perhaps he was frightened by Zhao Wumian before, and his spirit has not recovered yet. There is always sadness in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, which makes people feel distressed at a glance.

The palace maid Lian Xue held an oil-paper umbrella for the queen, and she was protected by palace masters.

When the Queen saw Su Qingqi and Lady Canghua standing in the corridor waiting, she raised her eyebrows slightly, but walked slowly, maintaining the dignity of a Queen, and came in front of the two women.

"Empress..." The two women saluted.

The queen raised her hand slightly, then frowned slightly, and said, "Xiang Ge, you should be in Luoshui Palace with the other ladies at this moment. Why are you out of the palace now, and taking Miss Su with you... You are already a grown-up girl of twenty-five or twenty-six, why are you still so impetuous? Where is the reserve and etiquette of Miss Shen?"

Empress Canghua giggled and quickly took the Empress' hand, wanting to whisper something to her.

The Empress looked at her helplessly, raised her hand slightly and signaled those palace masters not to be suspicious... In fact, they could just use secret telepathy, Empress Canghua was just putting on an act.

After a moment, the Queen's face was free of all the worries she had in the past. Her beautiful eyes sparkled and she was so excited that she almost laughed out loud. Then she quickly put on a stern face, put on a dignified look, and said indifferently to the palace masters:
"I want to take my niece and Miss Su to the ancestral hall. I want to urge Shuzhi to come back. It has been so long and he still hasn't come in. You should know that many ministers in the court are already in their seventies. If they stand in the snow for too long, something bad might happen... You don't have to follow me. A large group of people are going to look for Shuzhi. If you don't know, you might think I want to force him to abdicate and become the empress."

These words were too harsh and no one dared to respond. Moreover, no one dared to stop the Queen from doing anything. But after all, the Queen had been assassinated by Zhao Wumian not long ago, so the masters of the palace hesitated and refused to leave.

Lady Canghua pulled Lady Queen.
The Queen sighed lightly and waved her hand, "If you want to follow me, then follow me." After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

As long as he hasn't entered the Taiji Hall, Luo Shuzhi must still be near the ancestral hall... If we are a little slower and wait for him to run into the secret passage, we will have no place to find him even if we want to.

There was no conversation along the way. When they arrived at the ancestral hall, they saw Luo Shuzhi from afar, wearing an elaborate dragon robe. He came out of the ancestral hall, and was surrounded by eunuchs and ministers of rites. He sat in a sedan chair and walked on the white stone road.

The Queen Mother led a large group of people to talk to her.

Empress Canghua and Su Qingqi stood on both sides, saying nothing and acting like invisible people.

In fact, Goddess Canghua has already closed her eyes and started to sense. At this distance, it is actually enough... This substitute has just left the ancestral hall, and Luo Shuzhi must be not far from here.

After a moment, Lady Canghua suddenly opened her beautiful eyes, then pulled the corner of the queen's clothes and said timidly, "Aunt, I want to go to the toilet."

"Go ahead." The Queen looked at her helplessly and said lovingly, then looked at 'Luo Shuzhi' and smiled gently: "Xiang Ge used to be the most stable and polite, but he is like a child in front of me."

That 'Luo Shuzhi' was obviously a stand-in. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. At this moment, he could only smile and say nothing.

Lady Canghua turned and walked away, her expression changing from shy to cold.

Not far to the east of the ancestral hall, there is a side hall with a toilet inside.

Lady Canghua walked straight in without anyone suspecting anything, but when she got inside the palace, it was empty.

She put her hands behind her back and looked around for a few times, looking at the surrounding furnishings. With Wu Kui's perception, she could clearly see footprints, handprints, and where there was more or less dust.

When it comes to political strategy, Queen Canghua lacks experience and is indeed inferior to Zhao Wumian.

But when it comes to tracking and tracing in the martial arts world, Zhao Wumian is naturally no match for her.

So she stood there for a few seconds, then walked to the bookshelf, took out a book, and then pressed it again. There was a "click" sound, and the floor tile not far away opened horizontally.

Lady Canghua lifted her skirt with both hands and jumped down. Her posture was very chic, but she looked cute with her skirt lifted up... If Zhao Wumian was there, he would think that she was a cute woman, but unfortunately no one saw it.

Ten steps inside the secret passage was the secret room. Luo Shuzhi was sitting inside it with a pot of wine in front of him, drinking by himself.

Lady Canghua walked in, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and then tilted her face, asking doubtfully: "Not running away?"

Luo Shuzhi held the wine glass and looked at the wine, his expression slightly complicated. "Since you can find this place, then I can't escape, so there is no need to do any more useless work."

Lady Canghua didn't believe it. She even looked around, wondering if there was some martial arts master hiding here, lying in ambush.

Luo Shuzhi laughed, "If I still had a useful Wu Kui by my side, why would I be so hasty and want to reduce the power of the vassal states as soon as I ascended the throne? In the final analysis, I don't have enough people on my team, so I became suspicious of Prince Jin and Chao Yan."

Lady Canghua looked back and said, "You seem so carefree when you say this now?"

"I'm defeated, I'm defeated, I'm dead, I admit defeat, but I didn't expect that the person who found this place was not Zhao Wumian, but you, the woman who almost became my stepmother."

Inside the secret room, an oil lamp was lit. Under the dim light, Luo Shuzhi smiled slightly, looking very free and easy indeed.

The corner of Empress Canghua's eye twitched slightly. She felt that there was a reason why Luo Shuzhi could be a rival of Zhao Wumian... they were both equally annoying.

"Before I came here, you didn't run away. Instead, you sat here drinking. Did you think we couldn't find you?" Empress Canghua was puzzled.

Luo Shuzhi was silent for a moment, drinking wine by himself. After three cups, he slowly said: "The escaped Luo Shuzhi will make countless ambitious people rise up in my name, even if I don't know them at all. Do you know that when my father was in power, there were rebellions in Miaojiang, Donghai, and Nanyue, all in the name of 'Emperor Guangyou'? At this moment, only the emperor who died in the palace is the emperor who is beneficial to Dali."

Lady Canghua laughed sarcastically, "Yu Dali is of benefit? If it wasn't you who betrayed the soldiers at the border, could it be me?"

Luo Shuzhi laughed, not angry. "For me, the stability of Dali is not as good as the stability of my throne. Now that the throne is lost, it is natural to consider the country... It's just a matter of importance. What's more, Ningwu Pass and Yanmen Pass are still there, and the territory lost by Jin is not even half of it. If this little price can be used to kill Wudamu, and the King of Jin, Xu Ran, and Su Huaixi can be weakened at the same time, then it is obviously worth it."

Queen Canghua curled her lips. She actually felt it was worth it. They were just some common people who had nothing to do with her. She didn’t care at all... But Zhao Wumian cared, so she would care too. After all, she still needed Zhao Wumian’s help...

She looked Luo Shu up and down, and then asked in surprise: "You don't have any internal energy at all... You don't know martial arts?"

Luo Shuzhi picked up the wine glass and poured himself another glass of wine. "During the Jingnan Rebellion, my elder brother and I shared a bed. Later, we were assassinated. My elder brother died, and I was seriously injured. My Dantian was destroyed... I can't practice martial arts."

"I have the Qingying Jade Cloth, but you don't want to use it?"

"Qingying Jade Clothes?" Luo Shuzhi smiled coldly, "I was born as a human, so I will only be a human. Once I am contaminated by the Nine Bells, can I still be a human? As a human, it is common sense and right to not treat such a serious injury!"

Lady Canghua looked up to Luo Shuzhi, but she was not here to chat with him. After a few short words, she answered his questions and then flicked out a finger. Qi flew across the room, and Luo Shuzhi's head hit the table with a "clang", knocking over the wine jug. The wine spilled and dripped along the corner of the table.

Back to this moment, with a "puff", the short sword suddenly pierced through Eunuch Lin's heart. The unparalleled energy in it flowed along the sword and rushed to all parts of Eunuch Lin's body. Then, without hesitation, it shattered his heart meridians, internal organs, and all of them.

In this case, unless Eunuch Lin is wearing the Qingying Jade Robe, there is absolutely no way he can survive... Of course, even if he is wearing the Qingying Jade Robe, Empress Canghua can still make the final move.

Both of them are masters of the martial arts level. Even though Empress Canghua is much weaker than Eunuch Lin due to her age and experience, Eunuch Lin is seriously injured at this moment, and she has a plan for a sneak attack, so there is definitely no possibility of failure.

Blood that was red to black flowed from the corners of Eunuch Lin's lips. He looked at Empress Canghua in horror, "How could it be...you..."

Lady Canghua smiled tenderly, "Because you are just one move short of winning."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed and twisted the dagger in her hand, and then in order to prevent the blood from splashing on her body, she pressed the armrest of the dragon throne with one hand, and turned lightly to the back of the dragon throne. Then she pulled her hair crown, and her black hair fell down. It was obvious that she did not like the "woman dressed as a man" hairstyle, but it made her look heroic and charming.

Eunuch Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, and could already feel the vitality in his body rapidly dissipating.

He wanted to do something else, but as soon as he took a step forward, he lost his strength and fell directly onto the dragon throne. Then he rolled down from the dragon throne, leaving a trail of blood.

He raised his head with difficulty and saw Zhao Wumian, wearing a blue shirt and fox fur coat, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, looking down at Eunuch Lin in front of the side hall door.

Seeing Eunuch Lin looking at him, Zhao Wumian smiled slightly, "Xia Chengsong, when you killed all the family members of Princess Jin, did you ever think about today?"

Eunuch Lin opened his mouth and said intermittently: "Where is the prince..."

Zhao Wumian looked at the substitute in front of the dragon throne, was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Crown Prince Luo Shuzhi has died in the palace. The one who assassinated the king was me... Can't you recognize the reality?"

Empress Canghua tilted her head to look at him. When Zhao Wumian said this, it was obvious that he still had the same idea.

He was charged with regicide, while Luo Chaoyan took the throne of the emperor. The rumors about him being a substitute or not were nothing but rumors. The real Luo Shuzhi died in the Taiji Hall.

Only in this way will no one in Dali use this as an excuse to confuse the people and rebel.

She turned her eyes away in dissatisfaction... She had invested so much in Zhao Wumian, and had been angered so many times without taking any action, but Zhao Wumian wanted to 'leave the house with nothing' in the blink of an eye?
Eunuch Lin stared at Zhao Wumian. He was not convinced. He had been plotting with the prince for so long, how come he was defeated by Zhao Wumian?
He gritted his teeth, "Taixuan Palace...traitors!"

"I am a rebel from Taixuan Palace. What can you do to me?"

Eunuch Lin's heart was already broken and no medicine could cure him. Even if he wanted to say a few more harsh words, he was powerless.

His eyes flashed back to his youth when he had no hope of achieving the unity of heaven and man. Emperor Jingzheng, who was then the King of Qin, gave him the opportunity to enter the palace to comprehend the Nine Bells, allowing him to build a bridge between heaven and earth. After that, he suddenly became one of the famous "Five Mountains" in the world at that time.

The Five Mountains were the top five mountains in the world at that time.

How high-spirited.

At this moment, he collapsed on the ground. The floor tiles were cold, the blood was warm, and a few snowflakes were falling from the window of the Taiji Hall. The corpse of a substitute in front of him was going to become the prince whom he would serve all his life?

This scene was engraved in his mind, and the rage in his heart was extinguished, leaving only silence.

Chess is one move.

Eunuch Lin looked at the substitute's face, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he suddenly said, "You have learned the Five Qi Classic... You have lived half your life in vain. The martial arts can still be passed on, so you have no regrets..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lost all his anger.

At this moment, the ministers in the court were all stunned and no one spoke for a long time.

Until Zhao Wumian came to the dragon throne, he lowered his eyes to look at them, and then smiled slightly, "You who stayed behind will be the backbone of the court in the future. The throne should be replaced with blood, but Chaoyan is unwilling to be the emperor and has little experience. If we take it slowly, there may be trouble. That's why I took this bad idea... Sorry for the offense."

Zhao Wumian bowed slightly and spoke modestly and politely.

Shen Yiwen looked up at Zhao Wumian, his emotions rising and falling, and finally calmed down. He stood up and said to Zhao Wumian: "This matter is settled. Mr. Zhao will bear the name of assassinating the king and killing the emperor. It is impossible for him to be an official in the court... But you will feel that the princess owes you."

"It's just that I can't be an official openly. I will get all the benefits I deserve. There's no need for you to remind me. I will ask the emperor for it." Zhao Wumian waved his hand slightly and walked towards the side hall.

Too many things happened today, even he was a little exhausted.

Shen Yiwen couldn't help but say, "This matter is not as simple as you said. You call yourself a rebel of Taixuan Palace, and now you are openly killing the king. If the princess doesn't kill you, how can she win the hearts of the people?"

"If she really wanted to kill me, wouldn't I just run away? I'm just putting on an act for the world to see."

"Where are you running to?"

"Where can a Jianghu person go?" Zhao Wumian turned around and asked, then smiled slightly.

"It's the Jianghu, of course."
