Chapter 145 It seems like Zhuang Wan is going to kiss him

How many other powerful Liang princes are there in this world? Apart from the Liang prince of the Duke of Xin's Mansion in the capital, there is no one else.

And her Liu family was precisely the result of the Liang family's murder six years ago. Because they refused to build a temple for the Ciguang Goddess, they were deliberately murdered and their family was destroyed.

Liu Ningyan stared at Liang Jinxian, with knives almost bursting out of her eyes.

Seeing her like this, Shen Zongji closed his eyes and thought to himself that what happened today was no longer under his control.

Liang Jinxian's eyes swept across Liu Ningyan casually and coldly, then stopped at Shen Zongji.

"Do you know what you've ruined?"

His voice was very soft, but it was like snow in the cold winter, falling on Shen Zongji, making him feel cold all over.

"I know."

"Then tell me...how should I punish you?" Liang Jinxian continued to wipe his hands slowly.

"I...I deserve death. Even if you kill me today, I have no complaints."

Liang Jinxian smiled, a smile that was extremely contemptuous.

He paused and leaned forward slightly: "What do I want your life for?"

"Shen Zongji..." He said slowly, "Do you know that we are actually very similar?"

Shen Zongji didn't say anything.

Liang Jinxian continued, "We are all ruthless people, all desperate criminals. Life is worthless among us. If you say you want to atone for your sins with your own life, isn't that ridiculous?"

Shen Zongji raised his head, his eyes suddenly filled with resentment: "Master, you are right. My life is worthless. I am unwilling to lose to Pei Xingju. What you have lost, I will definitely find for you."

"You still understand a little bit, but..." Liang Jinxian asked, "How can I believe you?"

"I swear that if I fail, I will cut off my own head."

"No, no, no, I don't want your head, I want..." Liang Jinxian pointed at Liu Ningyan with a smile: "Her!"

Shen Zongji was startled: "Master?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested in your woman, but... I want you to mobilize the entire Liuli City and do your best to kill Pei Xingju. If you fail, she will die by my hands."

"Master..." Shen Zongji's forehead was covered with big drops of sweat. "Ningyan is just a woman, she can't be used as a bargaining chip for the master. Can you..."

"Humph!" Liang Jinxian sneered: "What qualifications do you have to bargain with me? She's just a woman?"

His eyes suddenly brightened: "She actually dared to conspire with Pei Xingju to ruin my plan. She is not just a woman, she should be called a heroine."

Suddenly, Shen Zongji felt hopeless.

Liang Jinxian really discovered that Liu Ningyan and Pei Xingju's conspiracy could not be hidden from his eyes.

Today, even if it was not his fault, Liang Jinxian would not let Liu Ningyan go.

"Why do you, master and servant, need to say so much? I, Liu Ningyan, dare to do it and I admit it. It was indeed me who lured the people away from Furong Garden, and it was indeed me who told Pei Xingju about the secret room under Furong Garden. If you want to kill me or cut me up, just come!"

Liu Ningyan stared at Liang Jinxian intently. "I'm not anyone's bargaining chip. I'm just myself. If you don't kill me today, I'll definitely kill you when I get the chance to avenge the entire Liu family!"

"Shut up!" Shen Zongji shouted.

Liang Jinxian gave her an admiring look: "What a gut! Much more interesting than him!"

"What a pity..." Liang Jinxian sighed, "The beauty is smart, but also poisonous. I, Liang Jinxian, will not show any mercy to a poisonous beauty."

"Master!" Shen Zongji said immediately, "Please give me some time. Ten days, just ten days, and I will definitely bring Pei Xingju's head back to you."

Liang Jinxian suddenly laughed as if he heard a funny joke.

After laughing, his eyes were filled with gloom.

"I can give you ten days, but I need to see how sincere you are first. Xichang..." He gestured, "Give him the sword."

"Yes." Xichang walked over, drew a long sword from his waist and handed it to Shen Zongji.

Shen Zongji stared at the long sword, pondered for two breaths, took the long sword and swung it towards his left arm.

"ah--"

With a roar, the next moment Liu Ningyan, who was standing beside him, was splashed with blood.

She closed her eyes subconsciously, and when she opened them again, she saw a broken arm lying bloody on the ground.

Shen Zongji looked at her and smiled defiantly.

"Liu Ningyan," he said, "Is it enough now that I owe you? If not... I still have one hand, and I'll give it all to you."

Liu Ningyan was horrified and muttered, "Madman! You are crazy!"

.

Pei Xingju took Zhuang Wan on a journey all night long. After who knows how long, Zhuang Wan fell asleep in the swaying carriage.

Although the day was thrilling, she slept strangely soundly in her dream and was reluctant to wake up. Finally, she felt very hungry and had to wake up.

But when I opened my eyes drowsily, I felt that something was not right.

Her eyes rolled.

The space was narrow and dim, and the light from outside came in through the curtains. It wasn't much, but it allowed her to see clearly that she was in a carriage.

Zhuang Wan subconsciously patted the thing she was leaning on. It was hard and didn't feel like a pillow.

Thinking of something, she slowly raised her head and finally met Pei Xingju's smiling eyes.

"Awake?" he said.

Pei Xingju's face was reflected in the morning light, making his profile look as white as jade and exceptionally handsome.

Suddenly, she panicked and climbed up from his lap calmly.

"I...is this how I slept last night?"

"Um."

Pei Xingju opened the official newspaper next to him with his left hand, and when she stood up, he also raised his right hand.

Zhuang Wan pursed her lips, almost imagining the two's previous posture. She didn't know whether she had taken the initiative to rush over, or whether Pei Xingju had pulled her over.

But this kind of thing is difficult to verify, and whoever tries to verify it will be embarrassed.

She asked, "Where are we? Is it safe?"

"It's safe. We're in Luyang County."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wan immediately opened the car window curtains. The next moment, the bright morning light streamed in, and she subconsciously squinted.

She actually saw the carriage parked in Lihua Lane, and her courtyard was opposite.

However, what made her scalp tingle was that many neighbors gathered outside the car to watch the excitement. When they saw her, they greeted her in an ambiguous way.

Zhuang Wan smiled stiffly, waved, and then suddenly closed the curtain.

Her smile was uglier than crying: "When did we arrive in Luyang?"

"An hour ago."

"In that case, why didn't you wake me up?"

Pei Xingju put down the newspaper, his face somewhat innocent: "I shouted, but..."

Zhuang Wan had a vague feeling that something was amiss, and sure enough, she heard him say, "You shoved me away, called out to you several times, and you angrily said, 'Stop making noise.'"

"......oh."

Zhuang Wan's old face turned red.

"Then I...I...will get off the car first."

She now wanted to go back quickly, have a good breakfast, and then go back to sleep.

However, when he stood up, his thighs felt numb and he fell down suddenly.

She subconsciously supported Pei Xingju's shoulders, and Pei Xingju quickly supported her arm.

But the next scene made both of them stunned.

This posture made their faces very close, as if... as if Zhuang Wan was going to kiss him.
