After all, what a serious crime it is to assassinate a prince.
That's a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family!
Why would an assassin leave clues so easily?
They must all be suicide soldiers who came with the intention of dying.
No matter how much investigation is carried out, it will only be a waste of effort.
Moreover, the assassination attempt during the day was far too hasty, even anticlimactic, which makes one wonder.
Moreover, there are only a few suspects in total.
It was nothing more than the Crown Prince, the Eldest Princess, and his father.
That morning, he had just admitted to Emperor Qing, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince that he had broken through to the Ninth Rank, and Emperor Qing had even taken the opportunity to sow discord among the three brothers.
That's why, even knowing that Li Chengtian possessed the strength of a ninth-rank martial artist, he only sent two mere sixth-rank martial artists to their deaths in broad daylight.
This is too strange!
Is this some kind of attempt to make me doubt the Crown Prince or the Third Prince?
But upon closer reflection, something doesn't seem quite right. If that's really the case, wouldn't it make the other party seem incredibly foolish?
Therefore, the ultimate goal of this assassination was not to take his life, but to muddy the waters and ultimately provoke him into a fight with the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
In this way, the suspicions of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince can be directly eliminated.
Now there's only one person left—Emperor Qing!
After all, he was the only one who dared to make a move in Kyoto!
Of course, there is another possibility: the eldest princess!
After all, she was also someone who was good at manipulating power.
What Emperor Qing truly desired was for the struggle between the three brothers to intensify.
Therefore, he thought of secretly stirring things up behind the scenes, using this assassination attempt to make him suspicious of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
The price to pay was merely two sixth-rank assassins.
And what about that princess?
She was even more eager to stir up trouble, sharing the same thoughts as Emperor Qing.
In short, the fiercer the battle between him, the Crown Prince, and the Third Prince, the more pleasure she felt.
"Life is like a game of chess, unpredictable and ever-changing. Who is the pawn and who is the player? No one can know the answer until the very last moment."
"Chen Pingping has already gone to Anyang and is not in the capital, so let's change our target for now."
Li Chengtian looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and had already made his decision.
Time flies, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Li Chengtian had been trying to create a unique horizontal sword technique of his own, but due to the cramped space in the Qin Prince's Mansion, he could not fully utilize his skills. Therefore, for the past three days, every time night fell, the entire capital city was immersed in tranquility.
Then a figure will quietly leave the Qin King's mansion.
He was Li Chengtian.
After leaving the Qin Prince's mansion, Li Chengtian would first go to Zuixianju every night for a passionate encounter, and then fly out of the city wall.
Besides Kyoto, Li Chengtian would create sword techniques in the deep mountains and forests a hundred miles away from Kyoto.
After three days of training, this rocky forest has been reduced to ruins by Li Chengtian's sword energy.
At this time, in the Qin King's mansion.
Li Chengtian was standing on the training ground, demonstrating a unique horizontal sword technique.
This horizontal sword technique is not a traditional sword technique, but a completely new sword technique he created by combining the methods he used as an assassin in his previous life.
Li Chengtian moved with the agility of a nimble dragon, his longsword drawing sharp sword energies through the air.
As Li Chengtian's movements became faster and faster, his body became increasingly light and agile.
His swordsmanship was as smooth as flowing water, executed in one breath.
Every swing of the sword exudes a chilling aura.
Just as Li Chengtian sheathed his sword, Li Tian approached him respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the illegitimate son of the Fan family that you asked me to keep an eye on has come to the capital."

Chapter 11 Treating Lin Wan'er
The Royal Villa, an elegant and understated building, is filled with a faint fragrance.
A white gauze dress draped her slender figure, like a blooming white lotus.
Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate as silk, and as smooth as porcelain.
Her exquisite face, as if meticulously sculpted by the heavens, exudes a captivating beauty.
However, at this moment, her pretty face was pale with a sickly pallor, which added to her pitiful appearance.
This woman is Lin Wan'er, the beloved daughter of the current Prime Minister Lin Ruofu.
She sat quietly by the window, gazing into the distance, as if lost in thought.
Suddenly, she murmured softly:
"If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we would have met under the moonlight at Yaotai!"
Her voice was soft and gentle, almost imperceptible, carrying a hint of shyness and sweetness.
Recalling the poem Li Chengtian had given her, a charming blush rose on Lin Wan'er's stunning face, as alluring as a ripe apple.
A warm feeling welled up inside her, making her feel incredibly happy and content.
Just then, light footsteps came from outside the door, and then a girl dressed in a red jacket, somewhat like a knight-errant, walked in.
She was agile and moved with light steps, clearly possessing exceptional skills.
When she saw Lin Wan'er, she immediately noticed the unusual look on her face and hurriedly asked:
"Wan'er, what's wrong? Are you feeling hot? Why is your face so red?"
The person who arrived was none other than Ye Ling'er, the eldest daughter of the Ye family.
She and Lin Wan'er have known each other since childhood and are as close as sisters; she is Lin Wan'er's best friend.
Seeing Lin Wan'er's flushed face, Ye Ling'er couldn't help but ask curiously.
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er's pretty face flushed even more. She coughed lightly to cover her shyness.
"No...it's nothing."
Ye Ling'er, who was standing to the side, was oblivious to Lin Wan'er's strange behavior and simply nodded, "That's good. The imperial physician said that you are weak and have caught a cold. You need to rest well these few days and avoid the wind."
You must be careful not to catch a cold again.
Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, feeling a surge of emotion.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, a sly glint in her eyes, and said to Ye Ling'er:
"Ling'er, haven't you always admired my second brother's martial arts skills?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er immediately perked up, her big eyes sparkling. "Yes, I heard that His Highness is now a ninth-grade expert!"
Lin Wan'er smiled gently, "Then would you like your second brother to teach you martial arts?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er was so excited she almost jumped up. "Really? Wan'er, can you really get the Second Prince to teach me martial arts?"
Lin Wan'er smiled confidently, "Of course, my second brother dotes on me the most. He will definitely agree as long as I ask."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er immediately grabbed Lin Wan'er's hand, "That's great! Wan'er, let's hurry and go find the Second Prince!"
Lin Wan'er smiled and nodded, "Alright, let's go to the Prince of Qin's residence now."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er immediately grabbed Lin Wan'er and headed out of the courtyard.
Seeing Ye Ling'er's anxiety, Lin Wan'er shook her head. It seemed that this little girl was truly obsessed with martial arts!
On the bluestone-paved street, a carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the Qin Prince's Mansion.
It was Lin Wan'er and her companion who had come from the royal villa.
"finally reached!"
Lin Wan'er looked at the Qin Prince's mansion in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"Let's go, let's go inside and find Second Brother."
Ye Ling'er was already quite impatient as she helped Lin Wan'er down from the carriage.
Upon seeing that the person who had arrived was the Second Prince's most beloved princess, the guards of the Prince's mansion immediately knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, Princess."
Lin Wan'er said softly, "Get up!"
Then he asked, "Is Second Brother at home today?"
Upon hearing Lin Wan'er's words, the guards of the Prince of Qin's residence immediately replied, "Your Highness, the Second Prince did not leave the residence today."
