Chapter 543: Assassination

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nan Xing did not like to stay in an inn because there were too many people there. Who knew what would happen?

“Who are those people?” Ning Yue asked.

“They’re sending people to investigate. Preliminary suspicion is that they’re from the new emperor,” Jiang Ying said.

The new emperor?

Ning Yue frowned. For some reason, Ning Yue was still a little curious about this new emperor. She was curious about what he looked like.

What was more curious was why this person had sent someone to stop them halfway. It seemed that he wanted to kill them. She didn’t remember any hatred between them.

“Docs the new emperor have a grudge against Nan Xing?” Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying.

When Jiang Ying heard this, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly and reply, “Who knows? He has provoked many enemies.”

Nan Xing, who was about to chat with Jiang Ying, felt terrible when she heard his words. “When did I have so many enemies?”

“I didn’t say anything about you,” Jiang Ying lied without changing his expression.

Nan Xing was very angry. He wanted to expose Jiang Ying’s true colors, but Jiang Ying was lying seriously, making him unable to refute.

Seeing Nan Xing like this, Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s rest early. We still have to travel tomorrow morning.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Nan Xing’s expression softened a little. He felt that chatting with Jiang Ying was really too tiring. It was not as satisfying as chatting with Ning Yue. After all, Ning Yue was so understanding.

If Jiang Ying knew what he was thinking, he might capture Nan Xing and bring him somewhere no one could see to beat him up.

Ning Yue was his fiancA?e. It was really not good for Nan Xing to have such thoughts.

The three of them rested for the night and woke up early the next day.

Originally, Nan Xing wanted to rest for a while more, but Jiang Ying felt that since he had met that group of people yesterday, they should not stay the night. They should rushed to the Black City Kingdom.

They had already stayed for the night, and the danger had increased a lot. If they didn’t hurry, they might encounter something even harder to control.

Nan Xing thought calmly for a long time before agreeing with Jiang Ying.

Then, they traveled for a few days before reaching the border of the Black City Kingdom.

However, they did not choose to enter. Instead, they chose to rest outside the city. Ning Yue knew very well that they had encountered those people on the way, which meant that the obstacles to entering the city would become huge.

Therefore, even if the Black City Kingdom was close, they could not swagger in.

Just as she sent someone to investigate to confirm that there was nothing wrong, and was about to enter the Black City Kingdom, Nan Xing suddenly stopped.

“What is it?” Jiang Ying asked.

Nan Xing did not look pleased. “There’s a group following us,” he said.

When he said this, his eyes never left the forest behind him.

This was the place they had just passed. It was the forest that connected the Gold City to the Black City Kingdom. This place was most suitable for hiding people and ambushing.

“Could it be that group of people from before?” Ning Yue asked.

Jiang Ying frowned. Baili whispered, “Not really.”

“Get in the carriage,” Nan Xing said.

After the three of them got into the carriage, there was suddenly a commotion outside. Ning Yue couldn’t help but lift the curtain and look over.

After a while, Baili stood respectfully by the car and whispered to Ning Yue, “Miss, I wanted to leave them alive, but they committed suicide. This is an item on them.”

As he spoke, he handed a token to Ning Yue. Ning Yue took it and looked at the token. There was a large word “Chu” written on it. Wasn’t this Prince Chu’s item?

Even if these people were Prince Chu’s men, would he make such an obvious mistake? It was obvious that the men in black were all marked. He was just short of telling the world that he had sent people to kill Jiang Ying and Ning Yue.

Ning Yue took the token and handed it to Jiang Ying.

When Jiang Ying saw the token, he sneered. “This framing method is not brilliant at all.”

It was obvious that someone wanted to frame Prince Chu. That person knew that the conflict between them and the heir had reached an irreconcilable point. He also knew the heir’s ambitions.

However, Ning Yue couldn’t figure out why this group of people chose to frame Prince Chu. Wasn’t it more valuable to create a conflict between them and the emperor?

“Alright, don’t think too much. We don’t understand their intentions..”
