"Hong Jin, you traitor."
Zi Jing was tied to a chair. Shi Sheng dragged a chair and sat opposite him. "What traitor? Speak clearly."
"You don't know what you've done?" Zi Jing was agitated. "Do you know how many of our brothers have died? How can you be so heartless? We grew up together! "
Shi Sheng rested his elbows on the back of the chair and supported his chin. His expression didn't change at all. "If I knew what I've done, why would I ask you?"
"You really don't know?" Zi Jing calmed down a little.
"As you said, if I'm really a traitor, I should kill you now."
Zi Jing's expression changed. He said angrily, "Do you think I'll believe you? Hong Jin, I've misjudged you all these years. "
Shi Sheng: "…"
Zi Jing cursed for half a night, but Shi Sheng didn't get anything out of him. In the end, he had to use force.
According to Zi Jing's description, Hong Jin shouldn't have left the capital. However, she went missing for no reason. After that, they were attacked and many people died.
Those people were very familiar with their fighting habits. They even knew who was good at using what weapons. After that, they found Hong Jin's keepsake when they were cleaning up the corpses. After that, they found Hong Jin several times.
They couldn't contact Hong Jin. They couldn't help but believe that Hong Jin betrayed them.
However, the original owner had received orders to assassinate the Ninth Prince …
So, this was a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain in order to frame her.
Shi Sheng pondered for a moment. He looked at Zi Jing, who was still in a daze, and asked, "Did you find out who Hong Jin is in contact with?"
Zi Jing struggled for a moment. He said stiffly, "The Ninth Prince, Yan Luan."
Shi Sheng: "…"
The Ninth Prince thought that the Seventh Prince wanted to kill her.
However, the Seventh Prince had found out that Hong Jin was related to the Ninth Prince. Hence, he wanted the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince to kill each other.
Who would benefit the most from this?
The Emperor had many sons. All of them wanted to be the Crown Prince. However, there was only one position. Hence, they wanted to get rid of the person who had the highest chance of becoming the Crown Prince.
The Seventh Prince was the most favored. These people wanted to get rid of him. Hence … anyone could do it.
Betrayal …
No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like an exam question.
Shi Sheng decided to return to the Seventh Prince's Estate to see if the Seventh Prince was her family's retarded Feng Ci.
…
Early the next morning, Shi Sheng carried Zi Jing, who was still breathing, and went to knock on the door of the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
Men of sacrifice were usually not allowed to see the light of day. The guards did not recognize them, so naturally, they would not let them pass.
Before Shi Sheng could roll up his sleeves, two people came out. Their gazes swept past Zi Jing and fixed on Shi Sheng. Their expressions turned solemn. The taller man said in a low voice, "Hong Jin, what are you trying to do?"
Shi Sheng threw the Chinese redbud back with a nonchalant look on his face. "I'll make two things clear. First, I didn't betray you. Secondly, I'm not here to fight. I want to see your Highness. "
The two of them quickly helped Zi Jing up and asked the guards to bring her in.
"The evidence is right in front of us. You still want to deny it?" The man's eyes were burning with anger. "His Highness has treated you well. Why did you betray him?"
Shi Sheng took a deep breath. It was nonsense to explain to these people. She raised her eyebrows slightly. "Fine. Let me see the Seventh Prince and I'll tell you something."
"How can a traitor like you see His Highness so casually?" The two men drew their weapons at the same time. "Hong Jin, I advise you to surrender."
Shi Sheng: "…" I'm really visiting in a friendly manner. They were the ones who started it. It has nothing to do with me!
[…]
You're obviously very excited!
Shi Sheng fought his way in. The Seventh Prince's Mansion was already in chaos early in the morning, but Shi Sheng could not find the Seventh Prince anywhere.
Shi Sheng casually pulled a servant over. "Where's His Highness?"
The servant trembled like a sieve. "His Highness … His Highness didn't come back yesterday. We don't know where he went."
Shi Sheng asked several people one after another, but they all gave the same answer.
His Highness would disappear for a day or two from time to time. He would only come back when he had enough fun outside. The only people who knew his whereabouts were his bodyguards.
He's not here …
Shi Sheng had turned the residence into a mess. The two people who had tried to stop her at the start had somehow managed to get a squad of archers to surround her.
"Shoot!"
Shi Sheng waved a wave of sword energy in the direction of the archers. The archers were sent flying by the sword energy and their formation was disrupted. Shi Sheng took the opportunity to rush to the wall. She flipped over and jumped down. When she jumped out, she realized that there was a lake outside and a few strange animals were swimming in the lake.
Damn it!
Which idiot was building a lake outside the wall?!
Just as she was about to fall into the water, the Iron Sword caught her and quickly flew up. A strange creature crawling on the ground poked its head out. Its eyes were glowing green and it opened its mouth wide to look at its delicious meal.
The creature was dark green in color. Its back was covered with cone-shaped teeth. Its mouth was wide open, revealing its sharp teeth …
Crocodile?!
Damn it!
Was she in a zoo this time? First it was a shark, now it was a crocodile. Was there going to be a whale next?
Shi Sheng quickly jumped across the lake and disappeared behind the layers of walls before the people on the other side could catch up.
…
The next day, before Shi Sheng had time to find the Seventh Prince, he suddenly heard from the people that the Seventh Prince had gone on an inspection tour of the northwest region on behalf of His Majesty and would not come back until spring next year.
Shi Sheng: "…??"
EXM？？？
What the hell was he doing on an inspection tour in the middle of winter? What a monster!!
The Seventh Prince's men were chasing after her with all their might. By the time she chased after them, the Seventh Prince's men had already disappeared. Even if she knew the general direction, there were many routes and no one knew which one they had taken.
In the middle of winter, Shi Sheng did not want to sit on his sword and drink the northwest wind. So he gave up chasing after them and waited in the capital for them to come back.
The Seventh Prince's men did not give up. After being taught a few lessons by Shi Sheng, they finally calmed down.
Shi Sheng was not afraid of being discovered at all. Those people probably felt that something was wrong and could not make up their minds for the time being, so they decided to keep an eye on her.
Shi Sheng was either wandering on the streets or wasting his time in the inn every day. The people who were keeping an eye on him all thought that he was very boring.
"Hey."
The girl's pretty face appeared in the man's line of sight. The corner of his mouth twitched and he said angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Why are you so fierce? I haven't even gotten angry at you for spying on me. "
The girl was wrapped in a black fox fur coat and had a teasing look on her face. Previously, she was wearing white. Later on, he did not know where she got her hands on a black outfit. She looked luxurious and noble.
She was completely different from the Hong Jin he knew.
But …
She was very annoying.
Zi Jing was furious. "Are you done? Hong Jin, what are you trying to do?"
She had been doing nothing for such a long time. What was the use of them spying on her all day? She knew that they were spying on her. No matter where she hid, she would know.
"Waiting for His Highness to come back." Shi Sheng had an honest look on his face. "When is His Highness coming back?"
"How would I know?"
