Chapter 132 Are you...jealous?
What Chu Jin said was true.
He and Helian Feng once persuaded Xie Zhan to go to the Regent's Palace to assassinate him during a banquet.
It would be best if his Nanzhao assassins really had the ability to kill Xiao Nanyue.
If he was unfortunately injured by Xiao Nanyue, he would put the case of stealing the pearl and murder together with this incident on Xiao Nanyue's head. Regardless of whether it was him or not, he would be to blame.
However, Helian Feng only wanted to use the trick, but if Xie Zhan did not die in the Regent Palace, then the plan would have failed. If he died outside, then it would be a dereliction of duty for him, the Crown Prince of Tianqi!
So, not long after Xie Zhan left, he ordered Chu Jin to take a few people and ambush around the Regent's Palace.
When Xie Zhan was defeated and fled the Regent's Palace, someone reported it to him, and he followed him. When they reached the side of an alley, he had completely lost sight of Xie Zhan.
Chu Jin searched everywhere and finally found this place at dawn.
Seeing that Xie Zhan was fine, but was having an affair with that damn woman, a scene that was not suitable for children suddenly emerged in his mind. In that long night, this damn woman was so unrestrained. Was she with Xie Zhan... ?
Chu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze wandering between Xie Zhan's half-open collar and Manluo's slightly messy hair, and a feeling of dryness suddenly rose in his throat.
This woman glared at him, but smiled at Xie Zhan with all her might. It seemed like she could show her charm to anyone except him.
Thinking of this, he wanted to break this woman's neck. He, Chu Jin, had been innocent for twenty years, and now she had defiled his body. This was something he was ashamed of.
But when he thought about her body being used by someone else again, he felt even more uncomfortable. If he didn't kill her, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
But Manluo was ignorant of the danger and wanted to irritate him:
"Chu Jin, you look like a cuckold who's here to catch an adulterer!"
Her voice was sickeningly sweet:
"Are you...jealous?"
“Who’s jealous?”
Chu Jin's body shook violently, almost bursting a blood vessel.
He shouted loudly, and the hand holding the Five Poison Plum Blossom Needle began to tremble. After hesitating for only a moment, the hidden weapon in his hand shot out!
When Xie Zhan saw Chu Jin throw out the hidden weapon, he grabbed Manluo's body and dodged sideways.
When he turned his head, his face turned cold:
"Master, Miss Manluo saved my life. Could you please give me some favor and not cause trouble for her?"
Chu Jin curled his lips and smiled: "Second Prince, there is a personal grudge between me and this woman! I will never forgive her even if I spare anyone else!"
Xie Zhan was slightly startled: "What personal grudge do you have against her?"
Chu Jin's lips twitched, and he snorted, "Then you have to ask her! Your Highness, please move aside to avoid accidental injury!"
Xie Zhan's brows knitted together. "It seems the Imperial Master won't give me this face? If you insist on having your own way and insist on hurting her, then I will definitely intervene!"
Chu Jin folded his arms and smiled:
"I'm afraid that the Second Prince is now willing but unable to do anything!"
Xie Zhan was annoyed. Just as he was about to gather his strength and strike out with his palm, he felt a dull pain in his dantian.
"Your Highness, there is no need to waste your energy. You have been poisoned by the Rebirth Powder. It will take at least three hours before you can use your internal energy."
"You are not allowed to hurt her! I am here today, don't even think about touching her!"
Xie Zhan lay horizontally in front of Manluo, his tall body stretched into a straight line.
"Then I'm sorry!"
Chu Jin shouted and moved closer. He was determined to pull that damn woman out and strangle her to death!
"Fool!"
Manluo felt warm in her heart. She didn't expect Xie Zhan to protect her like this. She pushed his body onto the bed and complained softly:
"Lie down! Don't make trouble!"
Before she finished speaking, she had already pulled out twelve "Ice Silkworm Needles" from her sleeves. The needle tips were glowing with a faint green light and they flew straight towards Chu Jin.
Chu Jin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he waved his sleeves to roll up the screen to block.
Manluo chuckled:
"Master Xie, this Chu Jin is just like a donkey, he is stubborn and doesn't understand what people say. Manluo will leave first, see you another day!"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Zhan saw a flash of purple light before his eyes, and Manluo's body shot out of the window like an arrow!
"Manluo!"
Xie Zhan felt his heart go empty, and he staggered hurriedly to the door, only to see that the purple figure had already flown to the eaves several feet away.
Chu Jin had already jumped into the courtyard. He turned his head and said to Xie Zhan:
"Second Prince, I have just sent out a signal. The people from the Crown Prince's Mansion will be here soon. See you later!"
After saying that, he turned around and jumped onto the wall to chase Manluo.
The two of them walked one in front and one behind, and their figures quickly disappeared in the dim morning light.
Xie Zhan held onto the door frame, tightly grasping the handkerchief left by Manluo. Suddenly, he heard the sound of metal clashing in the distance, like the sound of hidden weapons colliding, mixed with Manluo's laughter and scolding:
"Chu Jin! You can't even hit me with your crappy hidden weapon, and you still have the nerve to call yourself the Poison King?"
"You bitch, if I catch you today, I'll skin you alive!"
"I can peel your skin, but I'm afraid you'll be so lustful that you'll strip me of my clothes!"
"court death!"
Chu Jin's roar was crushed by the morning mist and gradually faded away.
A sense of inexplicable melancholy suddenly welled up in Xie Zhan's heart:
Chu Jin and Manluo, are they really just simple enemies?
