"What, Young Master Chen, you're not pretending anymore? Are you planning to tear off the mask?" Ji Fengming stepped forward with a roguish air, arms crossed, and laughed, "Aren't you afraid that if any of us slip through, the Emperor will accuse your Chen family of assassinating a prince and delaying military intelligence, and have your entire family executed?"
After saying that, he turned and said, "Oh ho, judging from your confident look, you're sure we're all going to die today, you're fearless."
“Young Master Anping, I’ve always thought you were unreliable, but today, you do seem to have a good sense of self-awareness.” Chen Shiyu’s contemptuous gaze swept across Ji Fengming’s face and landed on Shang Xiye’s handsome face, which he secretly envied: “From now on, every year on this day, it will be your death sacrifice; I will send people to burn incense for you.”
Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao didn't look at him, but instead glanced at the woods next to them.
There seemed to be no one there.
In fact, Xiao Jianzi and his subordinates had been standing there quietly for quite some time.
At this moment, Shang Beiyu also arrived at that place.
“Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince and Ninth Princess’s intuition is exceptionally sharp,” Xiao Jianzi said softly, her voice filled with undisguised astonishment.
“She was different from ordinary people,” Shang Beiyu said with a hint of pride.
The implication is: the woman I admire is no ordinary person.
The little cocoon suddenly realized.
After a moment, he asked again, "Then, Your Excellency, what about Chen Shiyu...?"
“Sometimes, you have to take care of your pet’s feelings,” Shang Beiyu said calmly, then turned back slightly and added, “Be careful not to hurt her.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Little Cocoon and the masked men in black behind her answered respectfully.
Following Shang Xiye and Ji Fengyao's gaze, Chen Shiyu also turned around and glanced at where Xiao Jianzi and the others were, his heart burning with jealousy.
The Ninth Prince was actually able to discover that His Highness's men were lying in ambush there!
He always boasted that he was no less than the Ninth Prince.
But as it turns out, he was not as good-looking as the Ninth Prince, and his strength was far inferior to the Ninth Prince's!
If it weren't for someone secretly responding to him from that place, he wouldn't have been able to see anything amiss there, and even with all his might, he couldn't discern any clues!
"The wind is so strong on the mountain, Young Master Chen, aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you say that?" Ji Fengming said dismissively, pulling on Hei Xiao and turning to leave. "I'm leaving today. Let's see how capable you are of keeping me here."
"Hmph!" Chen Shiyu snorted coldly and said loudly, "Not only you, but everyone here today will stay. Come out!"
Chen Shiyu gave the order.
Xiao Jianzi nodded slightly to Shang Beiyu beside her, pulled on her black mask, and led the group of masked men in black behind her out.
The people on the mountaintop were all startled when they saw them appear.
Because they appeared without warning, as if they had emerged from nothingness, the scene looked extremely eerie.
Seeing that everyone was intimidated by these masked men in black who appeared and disappeared without a trace, Chen Shiyu laughed loudly with a sense of triumph and ordered, "Kill all of these people except those from my Chen family!"
Hearing this, the other groups were also stunned.
Leng Jun said in a deep voice, "Chen Shiyu, what do you mean? Do you want to wipe us out? If you kill us, your Chen family may not be able to bear the consequences!"
"You were killed by the Ninth Prince when he was on the verge of death during your assassination attempt. What does that have to do with my Chen family?" Chen Shiyu smiled coldly, slowly retreated to the side, and waved his hand to give the order: "Attack!"
The group of masked men in black did not heed Chen Shiyu's orders.
