Chapter 42: Bad News
"What could happen to him? Didn't you say that there were masters who sent each other? Could it be that he ran away? Su Changnian didn't have a good impression of him, and asked in a contemptuous tone.
"yes, what could happen to him?" Jiang Chaoyang was almost killed by the people he sent before, so naturally he also hated him deeply, and he was unmoved when he heard that something had happened to him.
Jiang Xuyang just said with a solemn face: "He...... Killed. ”
Jiang Xuyang looked at Su Changnian, and Su Changnian flatly denied: "I've been busy for the past few days, it can't be that I did it." ”
"Who did that?" She also knew that Su Changnian couldn't do this, so she just subconsciously glanced at him.
"I didn't see it clearly, but according to eyewitnesses at the time, they saw the attacker attack." Jiang Xuyang took out a picture scroll and handed it to Su Changnian.
Su Changnian took the scroll from his hand, and after unfolding it and seeing the pattern on it, his pupils instantly stood up.
"Temple ......"
He saw a pentagram, which was different from the one cast by the previous Assassins, but it was very similar, so he immediately concluded that it was from the Temple.
"yes, that's what I think."
He and Su Changnian looked at each other.
"What is a temple?"
Jiang Chaoyang didn't know what the temple was, and she hadn't told her about the things that Su Changnian had investigated before, so she didn't understand what the two were talking about now.
"The temple is an organization from the continent of Reims in the far west, and the people who attacked us before are also from the temple, so there is only so much information I have gathered so far."
"Is there still only so much information?" Su Changnian frowned, the information he had heard before was only like this, and it was still like this now.
"There's no way around it, there's a sea between us and the Lance continent, it's okay if it's just like that, but there is a forbidden area in the middle of the sea, and once you break in, it's a dead or, which makes it difficult for the two sides to have large-scale exchanges."
"I knew there was a forbidden area, but I didn't expect this forbidden area to be so powerful." Su Changnian rubbed his chin and thought.
"That means that the gang before, the people who killed Zhang Jingming were a gang of people?"
"It is not enough to judge based on a pattern, but according to the people who went to investigate later, it was found that Zhang Jingming died of poisoning."
"Are all beasts poisonous?" Hearing the word poison, his eyes narrowed into a slit and looked at Jiang Xuyang.
"It's not." Hearing Jiang Xuyang deny his conjecture, Su Changnian's brows tightened a little.
"However, although it is not a ten thousand beast poison, it is also a very, very powerful beast poison. Zhang Jingming was killed near a city, and the fluctuations caused by the fighting between the accompanying guards and the assassins were soon discovered by the army in the city, and they moved quickly, but when they rushed over, Zhang Jingming had already been poisoned to death, and he also had the strength of the middle stage of the Xuanyin Realm, which shows the domineering of this poison. ”
"So you mean that the two things were done by the same gang?"
"Nine times out of ten, that's true." This time, he directly affirmed Jiang Chaoyang's guess.
"Then why did they assassinate us first and then assassinate Zhang Jingming? How would it benefit them in the temple? He didn't understand what the temple was doing.
"I don't know about this, originally I only thought that they were sent by the enemy country to deal with us, but now that they have killed Zhang Jingming, it is a little difficult to explain clearly." He rubbed his fingers in thought.
"Could it be that Seabreeze Country did it?"
The Sea Breeze Country is the third largest country in addition to the Cangteng Country and the Canglan Country, the three countries check and balance each other and have always maintained a delicate balance, and the Sea Breeze Country happens to be the only big country near the sea among the three countries, and has the most contacts with the Lance Continent, so Jiang Chaoyang will think of them.
"There is a possibility, but it is unlikely, after all, if you anger two big countries at once, even they can't deal with the Sea Breeze Country, but there is still a problem......"
"What's the problem?" Jiang Chaoyang asked.
"This Zhang Jingming died in some places, he just happened to die on our border."
Seeing Jiang Xuyang's frowning, Su Changnian asked, "What's wrong with this?" ”
"It's a big problem, if he died somewhere else, it can be explained as an assassin from another country, but if he died in the territory of Canglan Country, then in the eyes of outsiders, this is a murder planned by us."
"Wouldn't it be better to explain it to them?"
"It's hard to say clearly, there were only our people there at that time, if they think that we did it, no matter how much we explain it, it won't be useful, and Cangteng Kingdom has been trying to disadvantage us recently, for fear that they will use this opportunity to provoke a war."
"Then they don't think it's the Sea Breeze Country that did it? Wouldn't this be a lose-lose situation, so that the fishermen of the Sea Breeze Country would benefit. Jiang Chaoyang said worriedly.
"How could they not think that even if the person was really killed by the Sea Breeze Country, then what could it be, the Sea Breeze Country is very far away from our two countries, and the people did not die with them, they only need to deny it, and then dissociate themselves from the people of the Temple, we can only look at the meaning of the Cangteng Kingdom, if they want to provoke a war, we can only take it hard." Jiang Xuyang said helplessly.
"What should I do?" Jiang Chaoyang looked at Su Changnian a little impatiently.
"Xuyang, if there is anything you need my help with, you can just ask, after all, I have some responsibility for this matter." Indeed, if it weren't for him, Zhang Jingming might have returned to Cangteng Kingdom, but the reason why he did this was because Zhang Jingming was to blame, and he couldn't complain about him.
"Originally, I just came to tell you about this and wanted you to pay attention to it recently, but since you said so, brother-in-law, then I might as well be respectful." Jiang Xuyang showed a smile that had succeeded in his plan.
Su Changnian saw his smile and immediately understood, he came here not only to tell him these things, but also to ask for his help, but if he asked him directly, Su Changnian would definitely not agree, so he said a lot of things, and when Su Changnian himself said that he wanted to help.
He looked at Jiang Chaoyang, Jiang Chaoyang was also confused, she didn't expect that her younger brother would use herself to make Su Changnian make a promise.
Jiang Chaoyang glared at Jiang Chaoyang viciously, his eyes as if he was going to eat him raw.
"Okay, stinky boy, I dare to take advantage of even your sister, hiss~"
She was about to get up and hit Jiang Xuyang, but as soon as she exerted her strength, she sat back in pain.
When Jiang Xuyang saw Jiang Chaoyang like this, he immediately understood something, and looked at Su Changnian with a very meaningful eye, Su Changnian was suddenly weak when he saw him like this, and pretended to cough a few times.
"Looks like I'll be able to be an uncle soon." Jiang Xuyang jumped out of this sentence coldly, and Su Changnian was directly choked by his own saliva.
"You...... What nonsense, now even I dare to laugh at it. Jiang Chaoyang scolded with a red face.
"I'm not, I don't, I'm just saying it casually." Jiang Xuyang's head shook like a rattle, and he hurriedly denied it.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince, let me tell you......" Xiaohuan leaned into Jiang Xuyang's ear at this time and whispered.
"Xiaohuan, you...... Always think! Look at both of them! Jiang Xuyang blushed and complained to Su Changnian in a tone that was about to cry.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry." Su Changnian hurriedly went over and hugged her to comfort her.
"You two!" Su Changnian glanced at the two, and the two of them stood obediently in place, looking down at the ground.
After a while, Jiang Xuyang's mood finally stabilized, and with Su Changnian's support, she walked up to the two of them, pointing at the two of them and scolding them, while the two of them were obediently shut up and disciplined, and they didn't dare to say a word.
Su Changnian was also stunned on the side, he hadn't seen Jiang Chaoyang angry, he didn't expect it to be so fierce, although he thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, he just secretly swore that he would never provoke Jiang Chaoyang to get angry in the future.
"Then brother-in-law, sister, I'll go back first."
"Walk slowly, I won't send it."
Jiang Chaoyang, who was sitting in the back, glanced at him a few times, didn't say anything, it seemed that he was still angry, Su Changnian was also helpless, and Jiang Xuyang just laughed twice and left.
After he left, Su Changnian walked to Jiang Chaoyang's side, looked at Jiang Chaoyang who was sulking, he squatted in front of Jiang Chaoyang, held her somewhat cold little hand, and comforted softly.
"Don't be angry, he's just joking."
"I know, but I'm just angry, not only Xuyang recently, but even Xiaohuan has always made fun of me." As she spoke, she looked at Xiaohuan again, and Xiaohuan saw that she was being targeted again, so she hurriedly got out.
"Princess, princess, it's noon, I'll go and have someone prepare lunch for you!" After saying that, he ran away with a cigarette.
"You ......" Jiang Chaoyang saw that Xiaohuan ran away without paying attention, and stomped his little feet angrily.
"Okay, don't be angry, they're all thinking about you, don't get into the horns anymore, let's eat and go."
"Okay......"
She reluctantly agreed, so she was about to get up, but a tingling sensation came, and she couldn't help but take a few breaths, and then Su Changnian picked her up.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Chaoyang was a little panicked.
"I'm afraid you're going too slowly, I'll carry you over, but it's more important than I thought, but with my strength, it's okay." Su Changnian confidently said his feelings.
"You! Dislike! Jiang Chaoyangxiu punched Su Changnian in the chest a few times.
"What's wrong?" He didn't know why Jiang Chaoyang hit him, although it didn't hurt.
"How can anyone directly say that girls are heavy!"
"Oh! No, I mean it feels just right, not as light as I thought it would be. ”
Su Changnian understood what she meant, and wanted to explain, but the more she described it, the darker it became.
"Forget it, let's go." Jiang Chaoyang was not entangled, he knew that Su Changnian was like this, so he simply didn't embarrass him, so he put his arms around his neck and buried his face in it.
"Oh." As soon as Su Changnian walked a few steps, he saw Xiaohuan who came back reflexively, Xiaohuan saw the two of them spitting sugar like this, and Su Changnian saw her returning, she used all her strength to hint, Xiaohuan immediately understood what he meant, and walked in front silently without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chaoyang noticed a hint of abnormality.
"It's nothing, it's just a little itchy on my face." Su Changnian didn't want to make any more moths, so he lied.
"I'll scratch it for you, is this it?"
"Yes, it's much more comfortable."
Jiang Chaoyang didn't turn his head to help him finish scratching, so he hugged him again, and Su Changnian was already in a cold sweat behind his back at this time, and Xiaohuan continued to touch and lead the way, but there was a feeling of being sweetened in his heart.
