Prince Jing was stunned for a moment. Situ Chen did not step forward at first, but when he saw his father standing there motionless, he was worried about his father, so he quickly stepped forward to support Prince Jing. He also glanced at the female killer, but he was also stunned when he saw her.
Lu Zifeng looked at the father and son without saying a word. He was also wondering what the relationship was between this female killer and Situ Qiong from the capital, and why they looked so similar?
After a long while, King Jing came back to his senses and asked.
"Miss, can you tell me your name?"
The female killer glared at King Jing fiercely, snorted coldly, turned around and stopped looking at him.
The female killer's actions made Lu Zifeng almost laugh, and he looked at King Jing.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, tell me, is this female assassin the Emperor's illegitimate child? Look how much she looks like the eldest princess!"
As soon as Lu Zifeng finished speaking, King Jing had not yet opened his mouth to speak, but the female killer stood up and attacked Lu Zifeng.
Lu Zifeng's words just now were meant for the female killer to hear. He just wanted to see her reaction. Now that she attacked him so anxiously, it seemed that what he had just said had touched her bottom line.
He reached out and grabbed the female killer's wrist, laughing softly.
"Little girl, you are no match for me. Not to mention you alone, even if there were ten of you, they would not be a match for me. I advise you not to do that meaningless thing."
As he spoke, he gently let go of the female killer's wrist and turned to look at King Jing.
"Your Highness, this girl is probably here to kill you today. I suspect you are her father."
After Lu Zifeng finished speaking, he turned to Chang Lin.
"Protect His Royal Highness Prince Jing. I'm going back to rest. I was hoping to catch a big fish, but who knows, it might be my cousin or something!"
King Jing was stunned, thinking that this girl actually knew martial arts, and now when he heard Lu Zifeng say this, he immediately laughed out of anger.
"You are talking nonsense, you little brat. I don't even know this girl, so how can you call her my cousin?"
After scolding Lu Zifeng, King Jing turned to look at the female killer and coughed softly.
"Girl, let's have a good chat. You are here to assassinate me today, right? Can you tell me why?"
When King Jing saw that the female killer still didn't say anything after he finished speaking, he smiled helplessly.
"Young lady, you must have a reason to kill me. It's impossible for you to kill me without any grudges. I am not a good person, but I can't be considered a bad person either."
Hearing King Jing say this, the female killer turned to look at King Jing, then looked at Situ Chen, and then said quietly.
"Your Highness Prince Jing, do you still remember Lin Wan?"
King Jing was stunned when he heard this, lowered his head and thought, and finally shook his head.
"Miss, I don't remember who Lin Wan is."
The female killer's expression suddenly became even uglier, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.
"Your Highness Prince Jing is truly forgetful. Do you still remember Linjia Village at the foot of Yandang Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital seventeen years ago?"
King Jing looked at the female killer's face, and at the reminder of the female killer, he suddenly remembered something.
Seventeen years ago, he was already the King of Jing. One day, the emperor secretly sent him an order, asking him to accompany him out of the palace for a walk. That day, they went to Yandang Mountain in the western suburbs of the capital to climb the mountain and relax. Due to some things at that time, they did not rush down the mountain to return to the capital before dark, and had no choice but to stay overnight in a family's house at the foot of the mountain.
He remembered that there was a teenage girl in that family who was very pretty, but he was a little tired at the time and went to bed early. Now it seems that this girl should be...
King Jing didn't dare to think about the rest of the matter. The emperor had to deal with it himself. However, in his opinion, there was a high possibility that the girl was the emperor's child.
Looking at his father's uneasy state, Situ Chen's heart skipped a beat: Could this girl be my father's illegitimate daughter?
Situ Chen looked at King Jing calmly, waiting to see how he would arrange this girl.
After thinking it over, King Jing looked at the female killer again.
"Miss, we can't explain this matter clearly at this moment. How about this, come with us to the capital. Don't worry, I won't lie to you. Once you get there, you'll be able to explain your life story clearly."
The female killer smiled sarcastically.
"You can kill me or chop me up as you please. Don't be so hypocritical. I came here today with no intention of returning alive."
When King Jing heard what the girl said, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Girl, I wouldn't deceive a young lady like you. Besides, you should understand that if I wanted to kill you, do you think you could escape? Besides, you saw that young man just now. His martial arts skills are even higher. No one among this group can match him."
"We are truly sincere. We are not trying to deceive you, but your life story is a bit complicated and difficult to explain here, so we decided to ask you to go to the capital."
The female killer softened her tone after seeing King Jing's sincerity.
"Well, I'll go to the capital with you. I came here with the intention of dying anyway, so dying sooner or later is of no consequence."
King Jing knew that the girl did not trust him at all, so he smiled.
"Then it's settled. We'll set off for the capital early tomorrow morning."
Lu Zifeng said as he went back. In fact, he had been paying attention to everything in the room with his mental power. Seeing the conversation between King Jing and the girl, Lu Zifeng was a little confused. It seemed that this girl had no relationship with King Jing, so whose was she? In fact, Lu Zifeng had some premonitions in his heart, but it was hard to say.
The next morning, after dinner, the group left the inn and set out again on the road back to the capital. However, this time there was an extra girl in King Jing's carriage.
Even Situ Chen couldn't understand why his father would allow someone who posed a threat to his life to sit in the carriage.
Lu Zifeng already had a rough guess in his mind, but these words could not be spoken. They could only be understood, not expressed in words!
The convoy moved forward slowly. In the carriage, King Jing leaned on the backrest and looked at Lin Nianjun.
"I know you've guessed a little about your own life story. I swear you're not my own flesh and blood. However, there are some things I can't reveal for now. You'll find out when you arrive in the capital."
Lin Nianjun didn't look up. She had actually realized something now, but she couldn't be sure whether what King Jing said was true. Thinking back to the accusations and ridicules her mother had suffered over the years for getting pregnant before marriage, as well as her own dark childhood, if she hadn't met her master that year, she might not be alive anymore.
