Xie Yang stared at the person in front of him with a playful look, his expression languid.
He thought this person would lose control in the face of Xue Lingyu's provocation and boasting, but he didn't expect him to be so calm. With just a few words, he made Xue Lingyu very angry.
He was much calmer than he had imagined.
Jiang Yimian looked at the person in front of her and sneered, "King Chu is in a good mood. It seems that the Qingnan matter has no effect on you at all."
"I wonder if the plans of the King of Chu and the people of Xiliang will be successfully implemented?"
This guy actually dared to come looking for her; he's really courting death.
Xie Yang was taken aback, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes. He snorted coldly, "I don't know what Miss Jiang is talking about, but you seem to have a lot of confidence in Lu Cijian."
I've always disliked sentimental dramas. What do you think Lu Cijian would choose between you and power or status?
He considered himself to be just as handsome as Lu Cijian, and was the dream lover of many women in the capital.
These days, seducing a woman is incredibly easy.
Thinking this, he took a few steps closer to the person in front of him, and just as he was about to reach out, a gleaming dagger emerged from Jiang Yimian's sleeve.
It looked as if he would take another step forward and then attack.
Jiang Yimian said coldly, "King Chu probably doesn't want to start a big fight here. With so many people watching, if you make a move, it will really damage your reputation for being kind to the outside world."
If it weren't for the large number of people coming and going at Yingchun Tower, Zhao Cheng's close watch on her from not far away, and the presence of several other clearly murderous auras nearby, she would have definitely killed this person on the spot.
Xie Yang just smiled, didn't get any closer, withdrew his hand, glanced at the person in front of him, and said gently, "Miss Jiang may have misunderstood. I have no intention of being your enemy."
How boring it would be if such a smart woman just died so easily.
Everything you can get now as Lu Cijian's pawn, I can give you. Why help him?
He's just someone else's pawn. If you help me, you'll definitely gain more than you would by staying with Lu Cijian.
He cherished talent the most. Lu Cijian and Xie Jingxuan had a close relationship and Lu Cijian had to die, but the person in front of him was different.
If you could become one of his people, it would certainly be a great help to him.
After all, someone who almost killed Zhao Cheng is not to be underestimated.
If he hadn't underestimated the enemy, how could the Qingnan campaign have ended in such a disastrous defeat, resulting in the loss of Qi Shang?
Jiang Yimian chuckled, sheathed her dagger, and said calmly, "I don't cooperate with madmen."
A madman who treats human life as worthless cannot be judged by normal thinking.
Who knows when this person will go crazy?
Putting aside the suffering Jiang Dazhuang endured in the mines, a large part of the reason they initially fled famine was due to this man.
She has no connection with Lu Cijian and would never have any dealings with him.
If such a person were to become emperor, the people would only suffer more.
After all, nobody knows what a madman is thinking.
Xie Yang narrowed his eyes, his feigned friendliness vanishing instantly, replaced by a murderous glint in his eyes. "If that's the case, then I'll see how long you can live."
I hope you won't regret it later.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a cold, deep voice rang out not far from the two of them, “What are you saying, King of Chu? Mianmian will naturally live to be a hundred years old.”
As for you, someone who has done too many bad things will eventually be caught red-handed. I hope you can cover up those shameful things well, otherwise, you certainly won't live long.
The young man, dressed in a dark brocade robe, was tall and slender with his hair tied up high, revealing his handsome face. He walked over from a distance, attracting the attention of many people.
Although he was alone, he was in no way at a disadvantage.
His brows were furrowed with coldness, and his handsome face held a tense, almost confrontational air.
He stood in front of Jiang Yimian, coldly staring at the person in front of him, a murderous intent flashing in his deep black eyes.
Xie Yang merely snorted coldly. Seeing that many people were looking this way, he put away the ruthlessness on his face and lowered his voice, saying, "Lord Lu is absolutely right. Of course, I would also like to say the same to you."
I hope you'll be just as lucky next time as you were at Tsinghua University.
After saying that, he glanced at Jiang Yimian again before leaving with his men.
Jiang Yimian then realized that Zhao Cheng was not the only person by the King of Chu's side; there were at least twenty skilled individuals hidden among the crowd of people passing by.
If she had dared to make a move then, she would have been taken down instantly.
Killing the King of Chu was indeed not an easy task.
After the person left, Lu Cijian looked at the person in front of him and examined him carefully for a while before saying, "Are you alright? I heard that Chen Shuyu came looking for you. Why did you come alone?"
That woman is ruthless and cunning; she's tried to kill me several times. She's not planning to target you now, is she?
As he thought about it, his brow furrowed even more deeply.
He always knew that Chen Shuyu wanted him dead.
That man sent assassins to kill him several times, but he just couldn't be bothered with this little grasshopper. But now, this grasshopper has actually set its sights on Mianmian.
Jiang Yimian smiled at the obvious tension on his face, and only said when she saw that many people around them were looking at them, "Let's go outside first."
Once outside Yingchun Tower, Lu Cijian asked seriously, "What did Chen Shuyu want with you? Did she threaten you?"
It was rare for the young man to show such a serious and tense expression; his thin lips were tightly pursed, as if he were very worried.
Jiang Yimian couldn't help but want to laugh, but she still sighed, lowered her head, and said pitifully, "She said you won't marry me, you're just using me."
He also said that after the palace banquet, you would marry Miss Xue.
The little girl lowered her head, only showing him her fluffy head, and exuded a low mood, as if she was really sad.
Seeing this, Lu Cijian was at a loss and hurriedly explained, "Mianmian, the only person I want to marry is you. Don't listen to her. Please believe me."
The young man's usually calm and composed voice carried a hint of anxiety, and upon closer listening, it seemed to also contain a touch of grievance and helplessness; one could clearly sense that he was genuinely panicked.
Jiang Yimian chuckled softly, then looked up and saw the bewilderment and sadness on Lu Cijian's face.
She seemed hurt and didn't believe him.
Jiang Yimian was a little stunned. She subconsciously reached out and took his hand, only to find it was a little cold. It was August, but his hand was terribly cold.
Jiang Yimian could only say helplessly, "I've always believed in you."
Whether it was her anger last time or her prank this time, she has always believed in Lu Cijian.
After all, they've been through so much together, and she knows him very well what kind of person he is, and she can see that he likes her.
The reason she was angry last time was mainly because she learned about Lu Cijian's engagement from someone else, but when she saw that Lu Cijian himself didn't know much about it either, her anger subsided by more than half.
After all, the person involved seemed to be the last to know.
Lu Cijian sighed deeply, forcefully inserting his fingers between the other's fingers before saying, "Mianmian, please don't joke about this, okay? I really will believe you."
