Chapter 178 Many people want to kill me...
As soon as the system alarm sounded, unusual movements occurred around.
The leaves rustled and noisy footsteps came from far away, and at a very fast speed.
Xu An and the other two protected Lu Yunting and Jiang Yueyang in the middle, with their swords already unsheathed.
Jiang Yueyang calmly asked, "Xiaogua, is it a human or a beast?"
People, many people.
【Oh, that's fine. 】
Her "Power of Words" has absolute control over people, no matter how many people there are.
The system said: [Host, unless it is a life-or-death situation, I do not recommend you use that ability.]
I know, I will use it with caution.
Just then, a group of masked men in black appeared in their sight.
Xu An and the other two immediately stepped forward to fight with the men in black. After a while, a hint of bloody smell was carried in the wind.
Lu Yunting didn't want the man in black to waste his and Jiang Yueyang's time alone, so he reached out and picked up the bow and arrow.
He shot an arrow swiftly, quickly killing a man in black before anyone could react.
Then he fired three arrows at once, and three more men in black fell to the ground.
Jiang Yueyang was full of admiration, what amazing archery skills!
The man in black didn't expect Lu Yunting's archery skills to be so amazing, and immediately thought of retreating.
But Lu Yunting had no intention of letting them go. He just said to the void, "Don't let any of them go!"
As his voice fell, Jiang Yueyang saw seven people flying down from the tree.
After a few minutes, only one of the men in black was left alive.
Lu Yunting walked up to the living person and said in a voice as cold as the wind, "Tell me who's behind this, and I'll spare your life!"
The man in black closed his eyes and said nothing.
Xu An said: "Sir, these people are the same group as the ones who tried to assassinate us last time. They are all assassins."
Jiang Yueyang raised her eyebrows slightly. "I thought these men in black were here to assassinate me, but it turns out they weren't. Little Gua, do you know who wants to kill Lu Yunting?"
【The enemy who murdered his father.】
Jiang Yueyang lowered her eyes in thought, "Little melon, if I stood in front of the murderer of Lu Yunting's father, would you know who the murderer is?"
After these words were spoken, several people in the Shadow Pavilion secretly looked at each other. Is the truth of that year about to come to light?
[Yes. Actually, there's another way. Give me the suspect's name. Whoever I can't eat the melon from will be the murderer.]
【Why didn’t you say so earlier? 】
The system hesitated guiltily, "You...you didn't ask."
After hearing this answer, Jiang Yueyang felt that sooner or later he would be pissed off to death by the system!
When you should be smart, you are extremely stupid, and when you shouldn’t be smart, you are too smart!
She took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, turned her head and asked Lu Yunting, "Do you know who has tried to kill you so many times?"
Lu Yunting shook his head. "Many people want to kill me..."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang's eyes were filled with heartache, "Then do you have anyone you suspect?"
Lu Yunting mentioned the names of several people, all of whom were soldiers of the Lu family army who were accompanying him back to Beijing this time, including some at the general level.
During the days he returned to Beijing, apart from the time they spent together and attending court, he was tracking down the murderer.
[Little Melon?] Jiang Yueyang called out the system's name meaningfully.
The system said: [Neither.]
Hearing that none of them were true, Xu An and the others looked disappointed.
They tracked it down for so long and finally found a few people who matched the characteristics and had the corresponding abilities, but it turned out that none of them were the right person.
Who is the person behind this, hiding so deeply?
Lu Yunting was both surprised and not surprised by this result.
If someone could kill his father without leaving any evidence, he would have to doubt the truth if it was so easy to find.
Jiang Yueyang was a little disappointed, but not too surprised. After all, in her opinion, bad guys have a long lifespan.
She looked at the only surviving man in black and the system analysis and said, "Little Melon, the mastermind behind this knows Lu Yunting's whereabouts. Does that mean the murderer is right next to us?"
[Not necessarily. A big boss like the mastermind usually has many powerful minions at his disposal.]
[Then pull out the little brother first.]
After saying that, Jiang Yueyang looked at Lu Yunting and asked, "Can I go to your military camp to see the world-famous Lu Family Army?"
"Yes, but I need you to disguise yourself."
The military camp was full of rough men and bachelors, and he didn't want Jiang Yueyang to be stared at.
Jiang Yueyang made an OK gesture, "No problem."
Lu Yunting raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled. It turned out that this strange gesture meant that there was no problem.
"Let's go."
"Hmm!" Jiang Yueyang replied with a stronger tone, glancing at the man in black kneeling on the ground, "How are you going to deal with this person?"
"killed."
"No more trial?"
"No need. They are dead men and won't say anything."
"Ok."
At this time, in Ning'an Palace on the other side, the emperor and empress were sitting together, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was standing below them.
Emperor Yuan asked, "Prince, it is time for you to get married. Tell me, who would you choose as your Crown Princess?"
The prince said calmly, "Father, the Emperor, and Mother, please make the decision. I, your son, do not care."
"Nonsense! How can you be so indifferent to such an important matter as marriage?" Emperor Yuan scolded.
Hearing this, the Crown Prince raised his eyes slightly and looked at Emperor Yuan, "Father, I have chosen someone, will you agree to it?"
Emperor Yuan was silent, and the Empress's eyes were filled with heartache.
The prince continued, "Apart from her, it makes no difference to me who becomes the Crown Princess."
Hearing this, Emperor Yuan suddenly became angry.
"As the crown prince of Daxia and the future emperor, you will shoulder the responsibility of the entire world. How can you be so sentimental? Besides, don't you really consider Jiang Yueyang?"
The prince frowned slightly, "What do you mean, father?"
"Everyone in the court knows that you are attracted to Jiang Yueyang. Can you ensure that the future Crown Princess will not harbor any grudges against her?"
The prince was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly: "Then let's choose Miss Gu Ruo. She and her are like sisters, and she probably won't make things difficult for her because of me."
Gu Ruo's knowledge and character are worthy of the position of Crown Princess, and the Emperor and Empress have no objection to her being the Crown Princess.
I just don’t know if she is willing to be the Crown Princess. After all, she knows how the Crown Prince feels about Jiang Yueyang.
Back to Jiang Yueyang, she changed into men's clothes, put on a veil hat, and followed Lu Yunting into the royal training ground, the temporary Lu family army camp.
"Lu Yunting, I've changed into men's clothes, why am I still wearing this hat? Don't you think it's strange for a man to wear a veil hat?"
"Not surprisingly."
Xu An, who received the hint from the eyes, also said, "I don't think it's strange either."
Jiang Yueyang: "..."
System: [I think it's a bit strange, but the host should still wear it. I'm afraid you'll turn the Lu family army soldiers gay.]
Everyone: "..."
