Chapter 125 Conspiracy to Kill
Shen Jingxuan hurried to the Red Flame Temple, but unexpectedly met Shen Jinghuan and Shen Jingyue who were also on the way.
From a distance, they saw a man blocking the way of the two of them, looking at Shen Jingyue with lustful eyes, his eyes full of determination to win.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Shen Jingyue's shy appearance and couldn't help but shook her head secretly. It was really a waste that she had a pair of eyes that were so blind.
She no longer looked at them, and took Chuntao and walked around the pedestrians, heading straight for the Red Flame Temple.
When the Third Elder heard Shen Jingxuan coming, he hurried out to greet her. Seeing her grim expression, he asked, "Xuan'er, what happened?"
He knew that Shen Jingxuan seldom came here, but this time was different. Not only did she come, but she also looked gloomy. Something big must have happened.
Shen Jingxuan rubbed his forehead and ordered: "Third old man, go and arrange for the brothers in the palace to find the whereabouts of my mother and Lin'er."
She was worried that if she went on too late, her mother and brother would be in danger. Although Lin'er knew martial arts, he would inevitably be restrained with his mother by his side.
There are many brothers in the palace, but it will take some time to find the whereabouts of mother and Lin'er.
After the Third Elder made all the arrangements, he came back to comfort Shen Jingxuan: "Xuan'er, don't worry, with Lin'er here, nothing should go wrong."
He was the one who taught Lin'er martial arts personally, but now no one knows who has captured them or how many people there are.
If the other party has a large number of people and strong forces, it would be impossible for a child like him to escape easily. The third elder couldn't help but feel worried.
The waiting time was the longest. Just when Shen Jingxuan had been staring at the door for an unknown period of time, the sound of hurried footsteps finally came from outside the yard.
"Young ancestor, there is news." The person outside the hall walked quickly into the house and almost bumped into Shen Jingxuan and the third elder who were coming out to greet him.
"Where?" Shen Jingxuan looked at him in panic, making him feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
"In the barren mountains outside the city, near the cliff." As soon as he finished speaking, all that was left in front of him was a shadow and the voice of the Third Elder: "Find out the reason."
The two of them rushed out of the city one after the other. When they were near the city gate, Shen Jingxuan was stopped by the person in front of her.
"Xuan'er? Where are you going in such a hurry?" Xie Zihan blocked Shen Jingxuan's way and stared at her intently.
Shen Jingxuan was worried about her mother at this time. She didn't know what was going on with her mother and brother yet, so she didn't have time to deal with him. She angrily said, "Get lost."
She just wanted to leave as soon as possible. She would only feel relieved when she saw that they were safe.
"Xuan'er, why can't you treat me the same way you did before? Can't you forgive me? Don't be so distant from me." Xie Zihan looked sad and looked at Shen Jingxuan with sorrowful eyes.
He now regretted it very much. Why did he choose not to marry Shen Jingxuan in the first place, and only wanted to marry Shen Jinghuan, who disgusted him.
If I had opened my eyes more clearly at the beginning, Shen Jingxuan wouldn't have despised me so much.
"Get out of here, or don't blame me for being angry." Shen Jingxuan's face turned red with anger, and she glared at Xie Zihan.
At this moment, Xie Zihan was like a dog-skin plaster. No matter how Shen Jingxuan tried to go around and leave, she was blocked by him.
The third elder rushed over to see everything clearly. He reached out and grabbed Xie Zihan: "Xuan'er, you go first, I'll stop him."
"Let me go. If you dare to stop me, I will chop off your head." After hearing what the third elder said, Xie Zihan was unable to break free for a while and became anxious.
Shen Jingxuan had no time to waste here. Seeing Xie Zihan being taken away, she did not stop for a moment. In a moment, her figure disappeared in front of the city gate.
Xie Zihan cursed at the Third Elder angrily, and his words became more and more unpleasant, but because of his status, the Third Elder could not do anything more extreme.
When Xie Lingxiao arrived, he saw Xie Zihan cursing without caring about his image. He didn't look like a prince at all. He just looked like a shrew cursing on the street.
He did this when he learned that Xie Zi Han was held back by the third elder, preventing him from stopping Shen Jingxuan.
Xie Lingxiao glared at Xie Zihan and said angrily, "Look at yourself. You don't look like a prince at all. If you don't want to be the prince, I can discuss with the emperor to appoint a new prince."
His words instantly sobered Xie Zihan up. He looked at Xie Lingxiao in fear and said, "Uncle, I won't dare to do that again."
He was so angry that he only thought about not stopping Shen Jingxuan and completely forgot his identity.
It has been a long time since he last saw Shen Jingxuan. He happened to meet her today. How could he let her leave easily?
But the opposite happened. Every time he tried to get close to Shen Jingxuan, she ignored him and no longer chased after him like before.
The more this happened, the more Xie Zihan couldn't let go. He wanted to see her and get closer to her...
"Go back to the Prince's Mansion." Xie Lingxiao glanced at him and walked out of the city. The third elder followed closely in his footsteps.
Shen Jingxuan had already arrived at the location that the people in the hall said, but as she walked forward, she still did not see her mother and brother.
She frowned unconsciously, because the closer she got to the cliff, the more panicked she became.
The further she walked, the more familiar Shen Jingxuan felt. When she thought about it carefully, she found that this was the place she had just traveled through.
Now, without the need for the Scarlet Flame Temple to investigate, she could guess who had kidnapped her mother and brother.
She continued to quicken her pace and headed towards the cliff, but just as she approached the cliff and saw the person she had been looking for in front of her, something unexpected happened.
Shen Jingxuan was surrounded in an instant, and her mother and brother were captured and quickly evacuated with them.
She wanted to rush over to save her mother and brother, but when she looked around and saw countless people, Shen Jingxuan's heart sank to the bottom.
It seems that this was planned for a long time. They just threatened me with my mother and brother in order to keep my life here.
The people from the Scarlet Flame Temple have already scattered in search of information, so it might be difficult for them to get here in a short while.
Shen Jingxuan moved quickly and snatched the sword from the person in front of her.
The sword in her hand cut through the air and stabbed the opponent's vitals fiercely and accurately, and the person in front of her fell to the ground.
I don't know how long they fought, but the number of people around them had decreased a lot. However, Shen Jingxuan felt a little overwhelmed, and the speed of her sword swinging was obviously decreasing.
If she wasn't careful, she would get more wounds on her body, and as her strength grew weaker, the wounds on her body increased.
Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt that there seemed to be a dagger in the air attacking her rapidly. She raised her sword to block it, but she felt the force of the dagger was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Her hand was shaken violently, and the sword in her hand slipped out of her hand. Shen Jingxuan jumped up, grabbed the dagger, and fell down quickly.
Her eyes were cold, and she snatched the dagger like lightning, stabbing it into the opponent's eyes in an instant, catching the opponent off guard.
Shen Jingxuan was exhausted and her body was on the verge of collapse. She looked in despair at the scene in front of her, but her mother and brother were no longer there.
She tried hard to close her eyes, but she felt more and more dizzy. Just when she was trying hard to open her eyes, her body fell forward uncontrollably.
The moment she closed her eyes, Xie Lingxiao's figure flashed through Shen Jingxuan's mind. Seeing him running towards her anxiously and panicked, a tear gently flowed across the corner of her eyes, and finally she slowly closed them.
