"Father, don't! Don't kill me!"

The fifteen-year-old Fourth Young Master suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and a thick, sweet smell suddenly gushed out from his throat. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his eyes turned black as he fainted on the bed.

"Quick, quick, call the imperial physician!" In her heart, she hated that little bastard from the Northern Empire to death. Ever since the Marquis hugged that little bastard and came back, he had spent so much of his time and effort on that little bastard. If it weren't for Li'er breaking the conversation between the Marquis and Susu Yue today, she wouldn't have known that the Li Kingdom would be working for that little bastard and would have given the two hundred thousand iron ponies to that little bastard.

Chen Shufei turned into the inner room, and a person walked out from behind the jade screen with a white phoenix orchid embedded in it, quietly waiting in the inner room under the carved jade wall. His scholarly and handsome face was full of the sculpted marks of time, and the four foot long arc blade hung at his waist; he was Chen Shufei's twin brother, the commander of the Imperial Guard in front of the Li Palace, Chen Wenyuan.

"You better not interfere in this matter. For many years, the title of Marquis and the title of Minister for the Right had been 'Nurturing the Crown Prince', while in the shadows, it was' house arrest '! This was already a great taboo, even if you were favored by the Marquis, you are still quite bold. Who taught you to be so arrogant? I actually betrothed the position of heir to the throne and even the position of the future king of the Li Kingdom to Li'er! "

"In addition to my two sons, Li and Yi'er, who else can take over the position of the Lord of the Li Nation?!" Chen Shufei's face was proud and her heart was filled with dissatisfaction. "Big brother, I'm afraid we can't wait any longer." I think that the Marquis' intention is clearly to marry that girl Luo Yan to that child. If the Marquis were to marry the Northern King, then the numerous clansmen of the Southern Tribes within the territory of the Northern Mountain Range would set off an extremely ferocious wave of war. It is unlikely that the Su Clan's four hundred years of glory would be lost in the chaos. Right, how much chance do you have of obtaining the three thousand new Imperial Guards you've been training recently? "

Chen Wenyuan bowed. "Even though it had snowed heavily during last year's Winter of That Year, delaying the drills, those people were all first-rate experts that I brought back from the southern part of Huai'an. However, even though I was a commander in chief of the Imperial Guard, the Marquis seemed to have some grudges against me, and above me, there is still a young man named Yan Lu. Although he is not a warrior, he was sent by the foreign head to spy on me.

Chen Shufei nodded. "That's nothing much. Has big brother ever heard of a saber that can kill without a trace?"

Chen Wenyuan pondered for a moment. Then, he seemed to have thought of something as astonishment appeared in his eyes, "Could it be … You. "Iron Curtain?"

"A few days ago, I had already spent a large sum of money to hire a top class expert from the Murderer House. Iron Curtain's assassins will not disappoint me!" Rather than letting him perish, it would be better for us to help him and make him suffer. In any case, this child is destined not to live past the age of twenty, and my guess is that the little girl Luo Yan is going to give birth to a child with the bloodline of the Northern King of the Bai clan. When this child dies, the bloodline is destined to be the best ascendant of the Northern King.

"Grandson?!" Chen Wenyuan opened his eyes wide.

"The Marquis of Jun wants to marry the Crown Prince of the Northern Empire!" Chen Shufei smiled coldly, a trace of malevolence on her face. "The Marquis actually dares to use his most beloved daughter to fight for the throne and hand it over to a hegemon of a foreign state. I'm not afraid of a death net!"

Autumn Mountain City, Viewing Flower Hall.

It was already late in the night, and the cold rain fell soundlessly, knocking against the iron tiles outside the house.

Looking through the half-open window, his eyes were filled with thick ink, as if he wanted to hide all the filth of Qiushan City in this inky darkness. Suddenly, a cold wind blew over, brushing against the white wall hanging on the sword in the room.

The young Crown Prince frowned slightly, as if he didn't like being disturbed like this. He looked up at the dark, iron night. The rain was cold and wet, and the sky was like a mountain that made it hard for him to breathe.

Today, the Privy Council, together with the Martial Palace's Military Intelligence Bureau, officially issued the "Twelve Tax Systems of the Nine Sects" to support the Third Battalion of the Northern Residence. However, this "Nine Sects Twelve Tax System" was even harsher than the "Ten Tax System" of the Eastern Capital. In the end, his father only wanted his great cause of hegemony, not caring about the lives of the commoners of Qiushan City at all. However, all the dukes knew that father was determined to restart the blade. They were afraid that some unnecessary rumors would arise from the Eastern Emperor's side.

However, what made him even more worried was actually the great general Su Qiuyu. That Su Qiuyu had seized the opportunity to lead her troops and take the advantage of this situation. Now Su Qiu Yu once again seized the opportunity to join hands with those clan members who looked like gods and gods, and used his status as the commander of the Martial Hall's commander-in-chief to command the secret palace, the secretary province, and the Lan Tai.

After today, he was afraid that with his strength alone, he wouldn't be able to protect himself, and wanting to get rid of the great general Su Qiu Yu was even easier said than done!

Su Shun Qing sighed as she felt her chest brimming with worry.

"Your Highness, the carriages have been prepared. When are we leaving for the Dragon Slaying Mountain Pass?" The young warrior bowed under the door.

"Is the carriage ready?" The young crown prince came back to his senses. Unknowingly, his hand was dripping with blood. Five deep finger marks were left on the windowsill in front of him. There were still traces of blood on them.

"I never thought that four years ago, I would solemnly vow to return a glorious Qiushan City, but now that Bai Jinyu has been imprisoned, she is actually so weak!" Staring at the bright red blood, Su Shun Qing laughed contemptuously, but he had never felt so exhausted and powerless before.

The wind lanterns under the palace roof blew about in the cold wind, the swords around the warrior's waist jingled loudly, the rain seemed to have grown heavier, only seeing lines of raindrops falling like snakes from the kiss beasts on the palace roof, wetting the tapestries below.

"Brother Wang, why are you wearing so little? Why are you left the window open?" The girl holding the umbrella behind her walked closer. She put down the glass cup in her hands and stretched out her fair and delicate hands to close the wind-blown window.

"For you to come at this hour, could it be …." Su Shun Qing didn't even look at her, but just frowned slightly and said indifferently, "This trip to the Dragon Slaying Mountain Pass is a long one, it's inevitable that there will be people who take the opportunity to cause trouble. Yan'er, your intentions are already known by royal brother, but you don't need to go!"

"Brother Wang, but …" Hearing her brother's words, Su Luo Yan's beautiful white face changed, as she mumbled, "Then, then I'll wait for brother Jin's return in the hall."

"Bai Jinyu?" The young prince was stunned. He turned around silently and raised his hand to the sword on the table. His face slightly changed as he said to the warrior standing behind him in a low voice, "Arrange for some experts to follow her in the dark. If Bai Jinyu broke the oath she made that year, then …"

"Then …" The moment she closed the window, Su Luo Yan's expression changed. She clenched her jade-like hands tightly and felt terrified. She suddenly turned around to chase after Brother Wang, only to find that he was already far away. She opened her mouth to speak under the heavy rain, but the only thing she could think about was the cold wind that blew the iron horses under the eaves.

She didn't know if Brother Wang would make a move on Brother Jin, but what if Brother Jin hated what happened six years ago and refused to yield to Brother Wang?

Su Luo gazed fixedly in the direction that her brother left in. She didn't notice that outside the closed window, the rainwater on the Iron Wart Kiss Beast had actually turned into a cold, blade-like color under the reflection of the floating wind lamp.
