Chapter 68

  Yes! Who exactly wants to kill this princess who has been living in the palace for years? Tang Yin couldn't figure out this question either.

  Seeing the sadness on Yin Rou's face, he suddenly had an urge to hold her in his arms, but his rationality stopped this impulse at the first time.

  No matter what kind of relationship Yanlie and Shuijing had, he and Yinrou were people from two completely different worlds, with an insurmountable gap between them.

  "General Tang!"

  Yin Rou's gentle voice broke his reverie, and he straightened up, looking at her to ask: "Does Your Highness have any instructions?"

  "Will the assassin come again?" Yin Rou asked somewhat nervously.

  Tang Yin shook his head and said affirmatively: "It shouldn't be. Unless they want to come and deliver themselves to death!"

  "Th... " Yin Rou pointed at him, asking in a questioning tone: "Then why are you still wearing the Ling Cui?"

  If she hadn't spoken, Tang Yin would have almost forgotten about the spiritual armor on his body. Book fans also like to read:. Complete spiritualization is very consuming of spiritual energy, but he has continuously absorbed two high-ranking spiritual cultivators today, and the surge in spiritual energy within him is too great, so even after a long time of spiritualizing, he doesn't feel anything.

  He chuckled dryly and patted his own head, laughing: "I forgot to take it off." As he spoke, the spiritual armor on his body dissipated.

  He didn't take off the Ling armor, which was a good thing. After scattering the Ling armor, he brought about a burst of exclamations. Yin Rou also subconsciously opened her small mouth, and her big eyes were wide open in surprise.

  What's wrong? The shocked and frightened expressions of Yin Rou and the surrounding maids left him bewildered. He lowered his head to take a look, and he was also startled. Originally, he was wearing white casual clothes, but now they were completely dyed dark red, as if they had just been washed with blood.

  How could this be?! Tang Yin was also puzzled about what was going on and furrowed his brow in confusion.

  "Tang... is General Tang injured?" Yin Rou's trembling voice was filled with concern.

  Tang Yin was indeed injured and had been stabbed once by the black-clad assassin, but the wound had long since healed with spiritual energy. Moreover, at that time, only his chest was injured, it's impossible for his whole body to be covered in blood!

  If he had a mirror in front of him at this time, he would also be frightened by his own appearance. He not only has blood on his body, but also on his face, and his originally white face turned into a big red face, looking like a fierce ghost in hell, which is really scary.

  It was actually because he had absorbed too much spiritual energy, his body couldn't withstand it, resulting in bleeding all over. Now he has fully recovered and doesn't feel anything at all.

  He shook his head and smiled wryly at Yin Rou, "Your Highness, I'll go take a bath and change my clothes first. Nothing unexpected will happen tonight, please rest assured!"

  "This..."

  At this moment, Tang Yin's appearance was indeed frightening, but with him by her side, Yin Rou felt a sense of security she had never experienced before. The feeling made her very comfortable. When she heard Tang Yin say he wanted to leave, her instincts told her to keep him from leaving, but she didn't know how to open her mouth.

  "Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Tang Yin didn't have a strong aversion to getting dirty, but wearing bloody clothes wasn't pleasant either.

  "I... I'm just a little scared..." Yin Rou's voice was as low as a mosquito's hum.

  "The assassin will never come again, I can guarantee it!" Tang Yin said seriously.

  "But I'm really worried!" Yin Rou's face showed a difficult expression, and she looked at him pitifully.

  "...How can Your Highness not worry?" Tang Yin felt that his question was stupid enough.

  "Can General Tang... stay?" Yin Rou's voice was even softer, her face flushing red like a ripe apple.

  Plop! Tang Yin almost choked on his own saliva. Stay behind? Not to mention that Yin Rou was a princess, even if she were an ordinary girl, he had no reason to stay in the same room with her.

  He hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes, nodded and said: "I'll go change my clothes first, I'll be right back. I will guard the door of Princess's palace, if there is any danger again, I can also protect Princess nearby!"

  Yin Rou naturally also knew that it was unreasonable and impolite for Tang Yin to spend the night with her, and if things went wrong, it would also drag Tang Yin down. Hearing him say he'd guard outside the door, she too breathed a sigh of relief, nodding repeatedly, saying: "Then thank you so much, General Tang!"

  "Your Highness is being too serious!"

  Leaving Yin Ruo's room, Tang Yan came out of the main house and arrived at the courtyard of the Xingguan. When he ran into his subordinates, they were all frightened by his appearance, standing still in shock, their mouths agape, stunned and speechless.

  Realizing how frightening he looked at the moment, Tang Yin quickened his pace and returned to his own room in the wing, ordering someone to prepare a bucket of water. He first took a thorough bath, then changed into clean clothes before finally coming out of the room.

  Just arrived at the door, saw Qiu Zhen rushing over, book fans also like to see:.

  He stepped forward and asked, "Have you finished interrogating Li Xian?"

  Qiu Zhen nodded, then pulled Tang Yin back to his room, poured a cup of water, gulped it down, and wiped his mouth before saying, "It seems that Li Xian was indeed being used by someone."

  Tang Yin did not respond, waiting for him to continue speaking.

  Qiu Zhen spat out saliva and said: "Li Xian is hosting a dinner party tonight, but it's not his intention. Someone asked him to do so. According to Li Xian's confession, the person who asked him was a merchant passing through Wan City. He learned that Princess would pass by Wan City and hoped to see her beauty, so he paid Li Xian to host tonight's dinner party and invited Princess to attend. As a result, Li Xian did so, but was rejected by Tang Da Ge, who instead attended the dinner party himself. It must have been at this time that the assassins received the news and made plans to attack the inn while Tang Da Ge was attending the banquet!"

  "Ah!" So it was indeed reasonable. Tang Yin asked: "Where is that merchant now?"

  Qiu Zhen smiled wryly and shrugged his shoulders, saying: "I sent someone to investigate, but couldn't find any trace of that merchant. It seems he had escaped long ago."

  Tang Yin spread out his hands and said: "In that case, we still have no leads on the assassin?"

  "It's like this!" Qiu Zhen asked: "What kind of people does Brother Tang think these assassins are?"

  "How could I possibly know?" Tang Yin paced back and forth in the room, saying coldly: "The assassins' skills are all very high. Gathering so many formidable assassins at once, the person behind them manipulating them won't be a simple character."

  "Yes!" Qiu Zhen nodded in agreement, saying: "Actually, the decline of the imperial family means that the princess poses no threat to anyone. Assassinating her can only serve one purpose."

  "What is it?"

  "What is the purpose of Your Highness's trip this time?" Qiu Zhen asked back, while other book friends looked on normally.

  Tang Yin wondered: "Is there someone who doesn't want Her Highness to mediate the war between Feng, Ning and Mo?"

  Qiu Zhen nodded firmly and said: "Apart from this purpose, I couldn't think of any other reason that would be worth the risk for them to assassinate Her Highness."

  "So, the assassin isn't from Feng Nation?"

  "That's not necessarily true! It's possible that there are people within the royal court who don't want the war to end! Tang, do you still remember what I said before? There is a traitor in the royal court, otherwise we wouldn't have lost so badly in the battle against Ning Country. I have a feeling that this assassination attempt on the princess is also related to this traitor!"

  Tang Yin sucked in a breath of cool air and muttered: "This traitor... who could it be?"

  Qiu Zhen shook his head and said: "It could be anyone, the Liang family, the Wu family, the Zhong family, or the Zi Yang family are all suspects."

  After listening to his analysis, Tang Yin's mind did not calm down, but instead became more and more confused.

  He patted his forehead, waved his hand and said: "This matter is no longer something we can handle. We are only responsible for ensuring the princess's safety. As for other matters, do not interfere again. Moreover, Li Xian's suspicion is still the greatest, he must have a connection with the assassin, and he must be escorted back to the capital, and let the emperor decide his fate."

  Qiu Zhen was very clever and immediately understood that Tang Yin had made up his mind to put the blame on Li Xian's head.

  He had no opinion, Qiu was a typical hypocrite, and except for Tang Yin, no one would be taken seriously by him.

  "Tonight I have to guard the princess, as for other things, you temporarily help me deal with them. Also, tomorrow morning we will set off back to Yancheng!"

  "Yes! Brother Tang!" Qiu Zhen bowed and accepted the order.

  The assassin's assassination attempt did not harm Yin Rou, but caused the imperial palace guards to suffer heavy losses, with more than 60 guards killed in battle and over 100 injured, their combat effectiveness reduced by more than half.

  However, with Tang Yin waiting outside the door, Yin Rou felt doubly at ease and even if all the guards were gone and only Tang Yin was left, she felt that she would not be afraid again.

  The relationship between people is so wonderful, Yin Rou doesn't know why, but Tang Yin makes her feel an extremely strong sense of security.

  The lights in the corridor had gone out, and in the darkness, Tang Yin sat cross-legged outside Yin Rou's door. He didn't know if it was because of his cultivation of the dark spiritual energy, but in the pitch-black space, he could still see things clearly, and even felt a sense of lightness in his body and mind.

  He let out a comfortable sigh.

  He couldn't help but laugh when he thought of tonight's battle.

  Although he didn't know what it was like to cultivate the Light System Spirit Martial Arts, the Dark System Spirit Martial Arts were indeed ingenious and endless in their uses. The deeper his cultivation went, the more he came into contact with higher-level skills, and the more he could feel its magical aspects. This made him, who was infatuated with martial arts, involuntarily deeply fascinated by the Dark System Spirit Martial Arts.

  He is now still some distance away from the peak of Yan Lie's heyday, but with his current rate of spiritual energy growth, he believes that his cultivation will soon surpass Yan Lie and reach a new realm.

  This also proves that the Dark Spirit Warrior was born for war, or in other words, war is heaven for the Dark Spirit Warrior.

  As he thought about it, his mood also began to flutter with excitement.

  "General Tang, are you asleep?" A soft voice suddenly came from inside the room.

  Tang Yin's body, which had been leaning against the wall, immediately straightened up, and he replied in a low voice: "Not at all. Why hasn't Your Highness gone to rest yet?"

  There was no response from inside the room. After a moment, the door creaked open a crack and a fluffy blanket was handed out from within. Yin Rou leaned against the gap in the door and said softly, "General Tang, use this to keep warm."
