"I'll go back in the evening!" Xie Beiheng gently stroked her long hair with a gentle voice.

"Okay~" Lin Xiangxiang responded softly.

"You answered so directly, don't you miss me at all?" Xie Beiheng said, supporting his head with one hand, turning his body sideways and looking down at her.

"You haven't come to see me for seven whole days!" His voice was filled with a hint of grievance and anger.

Lin Xiangxiang lowered her eyes. How should she answer?

She felt like she was dreaming about the hug at this moment and the light kiss just now.

Lin Xiangxiang was confused, but she didn't show it on her face. She said softly, "What are you going to do back home?"

Xie Beiheng glanced at her calmly, pretending not to notice her evasion of his question, and replied:

"I need to go back to see my master. Before I came here today, I asked Xu Chong to tell my master to meet me in my study at midnight."

Lin Xiangxiang was surprised: "You still have a master?"

Xie Beiheng laughed and scratched her nose with his finger, "Where do you think I got my martial arts skills from?"

Lin Xiangxiang raised her head slightly, her eyes fixed on the scum on his jaw. "Then why did you meet your master at night?"

"Because... I am dead now!"

Lin Xiangxiang was so shocked by his words that she almost jumped out of bed and exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Hearing Lin Xiangxiang's exclamation, Xie Beiheng suddenly smiled with his chin pursed. His shoulders trembled slightly, and his chest rose and fell with his laughter, a burst of muffled laughter.

"fool."

"Someone offered 500,000 taels of silver to buy my head from the Gate of Life and Death, and I was assassinated last night."

"Now everyone in the capital is saying that I'm seriously injured and bedridden, and I'm deliberately spreading the news that I'm not seriously injured, but dead."

"So, you faked your death to lure out the person behind this?"

Xie Beiheng curled his lips, "That's right!"

"We previously intercepted a secret letter sent from the capital to Beirong and learned that a member of the Beirong royal family was hiding in the capital."

"The secret letter contains a plot to assassinate me, so I'm going to use their tactics to find this person!"

Lin Xiangxiang's face turned pale instantly, and she felt terrified. "According to the original trajectory, did you die tragically last night?"

Xie Beiheng shook his head, "No!"

"As long as the other party hires assassins from the Gate of Life and Death, the assassination will be impossible to succeed, so it wasn't last night."

Lin Xiangxiang only realized it at this time. Although she knew the ending from "Sleepwalking Among Nations", she could have taken precautions and made plans in advance.

But we don’t know the exact time and specific circumstances, so it’s hard to guard against!

Lin Xiangxiang became extremely worried when she thought that Xie Beiheng might still die.

Her pearly teeth bit her lower lip nervously, and her slender little hands grasped the collar of Xie Beiheng's shirt.

"Xie Beiheng, are you sure you can find him? As long as you don't find him, you may die." Lin Xiangxiang's voice trembled slightly with fear.

Xie Beiheng raised a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes showed a little more tenderness.

He reached out and rubbed her head, "Don't worry, I won't let myself die!"

After saying that, he leaned down and took her into his arms.

Dayue.

child time.

Xie Beiheng walked back to his study from Lin Xiangxiang's bedroom. There were two other people in the study at this time.

Xie Beiheng bowed to the man sitting at the head of the table and said, "Disciple greets Master."

Leng Wuqing glanced at him sideways and waved his hand: "Alright, when have you ever been so polite to your teacher?"

Xie Beiheng smiled flatteringly: "This time is different. Master said that he would never leave the mountain again, but this time, because of my disciple's matter, you came all the way to the capital. I feel sorry for you."

"How dare you be so shameless? I am doing this for 500,000 taels of silver."

"I don't believe it. Master is doing this for his disciple."

Hearing this, Leng Wuqing's face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost. "Are you possessed? Why are you saying such disgusting things for no reason?"

Xie Beiheng felt wronged, "Master, we haven't seen each other for three years. Don't you miss your disciple?"

Leng Wuqing couldn't help rubbing his temples and said unhappily, "If you continue to disgust me, get out of here." After saying that, he looked around and realized that he was in someone else's study. He was about to get up from his chair and said, "I'm leaving!"

Xie Beiheng hurriedly reached out to stop him. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Chong came over with a sly smile, "Senior Leng, you don't know that the prince has been feeling very passionate lately and is infatuated with love every day. That's why he's speaking so emotionally now. Please be considerate of the prince!"

Leng Wuqing stood up from his chair upon hearing this and said in surprise, "You found a wife? You're a martial arts fanatic, holding a sword all day long, and your master thought you didn't like women!"

Xie Beiheng was dissatisfied with his master's words and retorted, "When I was young, it was the time to be diligent and studious. What else could I do if I didn't practice sword?"

"Besides, Master takes me on trips every day, and we only stay in temples and Taoist temples. I haven't seen many women!"

He was sent to Lingyun Peak to learn martial arts from his master at the age of seven, and returned to Zhenbei Hou Mansion at the age of thirteen. He spent most of these years traveling around with his master, and occasionally returned to the mansion to visit his mother.

He didn't know at first that his master was the leader of the Life and Death Sect until ten years ago when someone offered a high price to buy the head of the fifth prince of Southern Shu Kingdom from the Life and Death Sect. No one in the sect could take the order, so his master had to take it. He only told him before leaving for Southern Shu Kingdom.

Besides him, there was another disciple of the master, his senior brother. However, later his senior brother betrayed the master and escaped from Dayue. Since then, no news of his senior brother has been heard from again.

Hearing his apprentice complaining, Leng Wuqing glared and said, "What's so good about women? Women will only affect your swordsmanship."

Xie Beiheng had heard this countless times, and when he heard his master say this again, he shut up in disappointment.

Then, he said seriously, "Master, who was the person who confronted you last night and gave you three hundred thousand taels?"

Leng Wuqing heard this and shook his head slightly, "That's just an insignificant person down there, not the one behind the scenes."

"Disciple knows it can't be the person behind this."

"Master followed behind. Where did that person go later?"

Leng Wuqing replied, "It's a Zaozhuang on the outskirts of the capital. No one has left since then."

"Zaozhuang?" Xie Beiheng frowned slightly.

At this time, Xu Chong reported to Xie Beiheng: "Sir, I followed Senior Leng's advice and sent people to investigate. That Zaozhuang is the property of the Minister of War."

Xie Beiheng's face was filled with shock, and he asked in disbelief, "The Minister of War's Mansion?"

"Are you sure?"

Xu Chong said seriously, "Absolutely true!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Beiheng's face instantly turned ashen, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes revealed an uncontrollable rage, "Great! My Dayue Minister of War is colluding with the Beirong royal family."

"No wonder...no wonder..."

No wonder the Zhenbei Army was annihilated after his death, no wonder the Beirong cavalry trampled on the mountains and rivers of Dayue, and no wonder Dayue has been plagued by wars for years and the people have suffered.

Minister of War Liu Jiachuan.
