Shi Sheng jumped onto the boat. She was the only one on the boat.
"How do we get there?" Shi Sheng turned to ask Xuan Chen.
"Row over yourself." Xuan Chen placed his hands behind his back.
Shi Sheng pointed at himself. "You want me to row?"
Shi Sheng jumped back onto the shore. He grabbed the Iron Sword and was about to leave. I didn't want to serve him anymore.
Xuan Chen reached out to stop her. Shi Sheng didn't hold back. The two of them exchanged blows on the shore. Xuan Chen had only been a spectator and hadn't fought with her personally. Now that he was fighting with her, he knew that this woman was definitely not Hong Jin.
He knew Hong Jin's strength very well.
Xuan Chen questioned in a low voice, his hand swiftly reaching for her face. "Who exactly are you? What's your motive? "
I'm your ancestor.
Shi Sheng slapped his hand away with his sword. When the sword came into contact with his arm, it was as if his entire arm had been frozen.
"You want to fight with me?" Shi Sheng let go of the Iron Sword. There was a faint smile on his lips. "I'll give you ten moves. You won't be able to defeat me."
Xuan Chen waved his hand. His gaze landed on the Iron Sword in her hand. "What's your motive? Where is Hong Jin? "
"I'm Hong Jin."
"You're not."
"This body is Hong Jin." Shi Sheng raised his eyebrows. "I'm using her body. It's just that the soul inside isn't hers. Have you heard of reincarnation? Are you afraid?"
[…] Host, you're still in the mood to scare people?
"Why not?" Shi Sheng snorted inwardly. "I'm already giving Feng Ci face by not killing him. Why can't I scare him? Besides, I'm speaking the truth. "
As expected, Xuan Chen's expression changed. In modern society, ghosts were already frightening, let alone in ancient times.
Xuan Chen's body tensed. He stared at Shi Sheng warily. "You're a ghost?"
"I'm human!" Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. "Look at me. How do I look like a ghost? Is there a ghost as good-looking as me? "
Xuanchen: "…" Even if it's Hongjin's body that looks good, what has it got to do with you?
Xuan Chen's gaze landed on the ground. Her shadow was extremely long, and she could walk under the sunlight. She was indeed a human.
"What is your purpose?!" He calmed down in front of Xuanchen. He had heard from Zi Jing that after she returned to the capital, she went to look for Her Highness. After that, she stayed in the capital without doing anything.
Shi Sheng began to talk nonsense. "Yanqiu and I have been together for three lifetimes. He is my destined husband. I'm here to marry him."
The words were a little exaggerated, but the truth was similar.
Xuan Chen: "…"
Why did it sound more and more like nonsense?
Was this woman trying to trick him?
"Xuanchen." A voice drifted over from the center of the lake. "Let her come over."
Xuanchen frowned. This woman was extremely strange. If he allowed her to stay with His Highness, there was no telling what would happen.
He immediately used his qinggong to talk to the people in the pavilion. After a while, he returned and got on the boat. He held the pole and gestured for Shi Sheng to come up.
After putting on the pork that reeked of blood, the crocodiles that resided in some unknown place gradually swam over. However, Xuanchen's speed was very fast. Before the crocodiles could completely surround him, the boat was already close to the pavilion.
Shi Sheng jumped onto the pavilion.
Yanqiu was lying on a rocking chair, swaying gently. The prince robe he was wearing was a very eye-catching golden color.
The emperor's robe was bright yellow. Only the crown prince could wear golden yellow. The prince's robe was usually navy blue.
Yanqiu waved his hand without even looking up. Xuanchen hesitated for a moment, then carried the food box onto the shore and left the pavilion. However, he didn't go far. He stood by the shore. If Shi Sheng dared to do anything, he would rush over immediately.
"I heard that you are not Hongjin?" Yanqiu raised his head slightly. There was a hint of a smile in his lazy eyes. "Reincarnated in someone else's body? Do you have any other stories to tell me? "
Yanqiu … this person didn't seem threatening at all. There was a sense of laziness in him, like a second-generation heir who was just waiting to die.
However, such a person was able to live peacefully under the watchful eyes of so many people. Furthermore, he was so flamboyant. It was obvious that he wasn't a good person.
"What do you want to hear?" Shi Sheng walked over and sat down opposite him.
"What can you say?"
"I'll tell you whatever you want to hear."
Yanqiu got up from the rocking chair. His golden robe fell and made a slight sound. He glanced sideways at him. "I want to know, who is the mastermind behind you?"
"You want to know?"
Yanqiu sat down opposite him. He picked up the teapot and poured tea for himself. "Will you tell me?"
Shi Sheng shrugged and said indifferently, "I can tell you, but you have to let me stay by your side."
Yanqiu put down the teapot. "Why should I let someone with an unknown motive stay by my side?"
"You can't kill me. You should have seen how your sidekick attacked me just now. If he can stay by your side, it means that he is powerful. Therefore, under such circumstances, wouldn't it be better for you to keep me under your nose? "
Yanqiu paused. A few seconds later, he took a sip of the tea. "Tell me about it."
"To put it simply, someone wants you and Yan Luan to kill each other."
First, Hong Jin received a fake assassination order to assassinate Yan Luan. Then, someone in the capital plotted to attack Yanqiu. Hong Jin went missing and the clues pointed to Yan Luan.
Hong Jin died overseas, so this plot could easily succeed.
Shi Sheng's eyes curved. "There is indeed a traitor around you, but it's not me."
The order that Hong Jin received was in a secret language that only they could understand, and only they knew about it.
"Why should I believe you?"
Shi Sheng said nonchalantly. "You asked me, so I'll tell you. I'm not asking you to believe me. Anyway, whether you believe me or not, I'll stay by your side."
Yanqiu: "…"
She was so powerful that even Xuanchen was no match for her. It seemed that there was no way for her to stay.
"I'll tell you a secret." Shi Sheng leaned on the table.
Yanqiu raised her eyebrows. She seemed to be interested. "What secret?"
"Yan Luan is actually a woman. That Princess Ning Huan … might be a man. But I'm not sure. If you want to know, you can send someone to try. "
Yanqiu's eyes narrowed. In an instant, her laziness disappeared. She became fierce. "Yan Luan is a woman?"
"Unbelievable, right?"
"The unbelievable thing is, how did you know?"
"I told you, I'm not Hong Jin. What's so strange about me knowing?"
Yanqiu's fierceness faded. "Then, do you know when I'll die?"
"With me around, how can you die?" Shi Sheng rolled his eyes. He said domineeringly, "I can't care about natural disasters, but I can guarantee that no one can touch you."
This answer was worlds apart from what Yanqiu had expected.
After a long time, Yanqiu said faintly, "I thought you could defy fate."
Shi Sheng rested his chin on his hand. "I can, but it's meaningless."
This world was not her world. So what if she could defy fate? It was just a waste of time.
"Shameless boasting."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Yanqiu: "…"
