Chapter 608: Total Defeat
Zhao Shen said with a hint of regret: "The big things are other people's big things, but the woman is your own woman. I didn't expect Master Lin to be so confused about the inside and the outside. If you insist on her death, I have nothing to say."
He originally didn't expect Cen Xi to play any role.
Lin Huixue's expression froze: "It seems that Prince Zhao doesn't really care about the life or death of his woman."
Zhao Shen shook his head: "You can try."
Lin Huixue's heart skipped a beat when he saw that he was still calm and composed. At this moment, the person he sent out suddenly came back to report that the gunpowder buried underground was missing.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen smiled at him as if he knew nothing: "Master Lin, what happened?"
Lin Huixue gritted her teeth: "You knew this a long time ago?"
Zhao Shen looked at him calmly as he saw his defenses broken. "This isn't something difficult to guess. You've already sent people to assassinate Ah Shu, so you should know that it's impossible to kill her with force alone, let alone capture her alive. Naturally, we have to think of other ways."
Lin Huixue didn't know what went wrong: "But there are many other ways. How could you guess so accurately?"
Zhao Shen shook his head. "Not much. You're just overconfident. Youzhou is General Ji's territory. How could you, someone who's been targeted for a long time, think your actions were secret?"
Lin Huixue certainly knew that his every move was under surveillance, so he did not interfere in many things.
There were also people from Mobei involved in this. Who would have thought that even so, Zhao Shen still knew everything about his behavior.
"As expected of the Prince Zhao that even Prince Yong fears, I lose this time."
"This time?" Zhao Shen gave him a strange look. "Do you think you'll have a next time?"
There is no such thing as a third time. He has already let Lin Huixue go twice.
This time, he even used Ji Yunshu as bait and never thought of letting him go.
Lin Huixue laughed. "With an opponent like Prince Zhao, you didn't think I would come here unprepared, did you? You were right about something you said before. Why should I think you wouldn't kill me?"
Zhao Shen looked at him with an indifferent expression, but a layer of frost had formed in his eyes. "Whose life is at stake this time?"
Lin Huixue smiled and said, "People from Wuning, I buried gunpowder in the yard where I live. There is a lot of gunpowder. Once it is ignited, no one around will survive."
After he finished speaking smugly, he noticed that Zhao Shen's expression was cold, and he looked at him as if he were a dead person.
Zhao Shen was about to say something when suddenly someone walked over. Only when she walked in did they notice each other.
It’s Cen Xi.
Cen Xi didn't know how long he had been there. Before Zhao Shen came, he had instructed the people who followed him not to restrict Cen Xi's movements tonight.
As for Lin Huixue's people, while the two were talking, there were no more people around who were Lin Huixue.
Cen Xi also walked to the campfire. Seeing that the fire was almost out, she threw a few more pieces of firewood in. The flames licked the newly added firewood and flames instantly burst into flames.
Cen Xi looked at Lin Huixue and asked, "Why are you using the people of Wuning City to threaten Prince Zhao?"
Lin Huixue was puzzled: "Why?"
Cen Xi looked straight at him and said, "What's the point of living for someone like you?"
Lin Huixue was a little hesitant to meet her clear eyes: "You don't know anything, so what qualifications do you have to say that?"
Cen Xi nodded. "You're right. I don't know anything. So in the future, I don't know how to tell my child what a despicable and shameless person its father is."
Lin Huixue was stunned. It took him a long time to understand what Cen Xi said. He looked at her abdomen and said, "You...you..."
He stammered and said "you" several times, but in the end he couldn't say a complete sentence.
Cen Xi touched her belly, stood up and said, "Perhaps, it won't have the chance to be born. If anything happens to Wu Ning, I can only let it atone for you."
Leaving these words behind, she left quietly as she came.
Neither of them spoke by the campfire, and the air seemed to be stagnant.
Gradually, the firewood that Cen Xi had added was burned out, leaving only a pile of ashes that still emitted residual warmth.
Lin Huixue's expression changed from cold and twisted to calm. He stared at Zhao Shen and said, "The prince is very calculating."
Zhao Shen didn't care about his resentment: "This is Miss Cen's own idea."
He didn't lie. It was Cen Xi who wanted to come here on her own. He even kindly reminded her what she would face this time.
Lin Huixue didn't believe him: "My identity is not a secret. When she followed me, she knew what I would do. How could she make such a choice?"
Zhao Shen looked at him with pity. At this point, he was unwilling to believe that Cen Xi had ulterior motives when he approached him from the beginning.
Zhao Shen felt there was no need to remind him, so he simply said, "Knowing is one thing, hearing it with your own ears is another. Perhaps at first she thought that even if you were committing treason, you would at least win with your own ability and in an honest way."
This time, Lin Huixue remained silent. He did not reveal too much of his dark side in front of Cen Xi.
Perhaps deep down in his heart, he also didn't want Cen Xi to think that her lover was a despicable person.
And at this point, do they really have a chance of winning?
Originally, Lin Huixue could still deceive herself, saying that the prince was too disdainful to compete with these people and deliberately hid behind the scenes.
But this time, they tried their best but failed to get rid of the Ji family father and son, which led to the current situation in Mobei.
Once the two countries successfully reach a peace agreement, there will be nothing that can be done in Mobei.
The prince will not give him another chance.
At this moment, Lin Huixue realized very clearly that she was finished.
The backup plan Wu Ning left was not actually to save his life, but to destroy himself and the enemy.
But now...
He had to admit that he had failed miserably.
"If I die here, will everything be over?"
His face was pale and his voice was trembling.
Zhao Shen didn't expect him to figure it out so quickly, but his expression didn't show any strangeness. "You shouldn't ask me about this. You know better than me what the King of Yong is planning."
Lin Huixue said, "Wujina wanted to save Bilige, but she couldn't afford the price. People are always greedy."
Zhao Shen looked at him quietly without saying anything.
Lin Huixue found the scene before her ironic and amusing: "I really didn't expect that you would be the only one by my side before I died. You win again, Zhao Shen, you are so lucky."
Zhao Shen said calmly, "Is it good? My mother died in childbirth, my father was manipulated by spies from Prince Yong's palace, and my life is in their hands. From childhood to adulthood, I have escaped death countless times. You call this a good life?"
Lin Huixue said, "That's because you don't know what kind of fate people like you have ended up with. Compared to them, it's a miracle that you're still alive. You should know that no one the prince wants dead has ever survived."
