Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Ruan Xiaonuan was petite in the first place, she was wearing an overly large imperial guard uniform, looking completely empty. However, such a small person contained an astonishing amount of courage.

Lin Zian initially did not want to stall for time, but he was not an ungrateful person, so he said to her, "I am willing to listen in on the details."

Ruan Xiaonuan's clear voice sounded in the night sky, calming the two of them down. Her story was very short, and it was very easy to understand the meaning she was trying to convey. The moment she finished speaking, Lin Zian asked coldly, "You want me to exterminate my family!?"

She knew that this was a very difficult thing for someone who had been affected by filial piety since young. But she still had a glimmer of hope. After all, if he could solve this matter without using force, it would be better than fighting until both of them were injured.

Gu Junxiu was such an intelligent person, he followed her words and continued to wear down the defenses in his heart. He guaranteed in his Prince Yu's capacity,

"If you hand over the forest, I will not pursue today's matter. Similarly, the Lin Family will also be safe and sound."

These words were undoubtedly a huge temptation to Lin Zian. According to the laws of the Xiyue Kingdom, the crimes committed by Lin Fan should be enough to make the entire Lin Family disappear forever. If not for His Majesty's benevolence, they would have met long ago in the Yellow Springs.

However, he repeatedly helped Lin Fan break the imperial government's bottom line. No matter how merciful a person was, they would still be angry. If the Son of Heaven got angry, he would probably die for a million years.

Seeing that he seemed to have the intention to let go, Ruan Xiaonuan could not help but smile and glance at Gu Junxiu. Before she could even speak, Yi Yun Villa's butler came up to his and said, "Manor Owner, it's bad! The Old Master walked out of the villa herself. "

This news shocked everyone, especially Gu Junxiu and the others. He thought that Lin Zian had been explained to him correctly and he never expected such a thing to happen.

So it turns out that what they had said earlier was heard by Lin Fan. When he was hiding in the secret room and heard that there were no movements outside, he thought Gu Junxiu and the rest had left and decided to take a look.

When he saw the three of them outside, he stopped in his tracks. All of their words entered his ears without missing a word. Knowing that Lin Zian could no longer be relied on, he took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to him to secretly run out of the Villa.

Seeing that the person he was going to capture had escaped, Gu Junxiu did not want to waste any more time with Lin Zian. He led the imperial guards and immediately gave chase. Fortunately, the sky was hazy and this was a mountain road. Lin Fan did not have any inner strength, so he was definitely not far away.

Lin Zian did not stay idle either and followed them out as well. He knew that the road they were walking on would lead to an endless cliff. Someone seemed to have reported this to Gu Junxiu, but he still proceeded forward.

At this time, Lin Fan had also been forced onto a dead end. He accidentally stepped on the broken stones beneath his feet and didn't make any sound when he fell.

In the night, the bottomless cliff was like a giant mouth, waiting for its prey to enter its mouth. His heart beat faster and faster as he heard the footsteps approaching. He stood there at a loss.

"Your Highness, he's right in front." Xiao Qi's voice cut through the silence of the night.

Ruan Xiaonuan could see the deathly pale Lin Fan within the firelight. She never thought that his outer appearance did not look like that of a greedy official at all, but instead that of an elegant, middle-aged man.

Many people would probably agree after hearing this. After all, it was something that no one could resist. However, Gu Junxiu did not notice and indicated for Xiao Qi to take him away.

Lin Fan knew that his words didn't tempt him, so he viciously said, "Do you think your Gu family's world can be maintained for long? I have already told all of my intelligence to the Dongqing Kingdom. I believe that you will all become prisoners soon. "

Gu Junxiu frowned as he looked at him. This was exactly what he had been suspicious of before, but now that he had personally admitted it, it had given him a direction to investigate.

Xiao Qi extended his hand out wanting to bring Lin Lin over, but he didn't know what happened. His feet suddenly slipped and he fell into the pitch black cliff.

Ruan Xiaonuan could not help but look forward and sympathize with him. If she fell into this cliff, most likely not even her bones would remain.

He really did not understand why he still wanted the silver. He was the prime minister who was the head of a hundred officials. If he could continue to be docile, then he would definitely live in peace for the rest of his life. He would never have expected himself to end up in such a miserable state.

"Stop looking, let's go back." Gu Junxiu seemed to have thought of something and pulled her back.

Although Lin Yemao had already made preparations, the silver he had stolen had to be handed over to the national treasury. Therefore, there were still a lot of things that he needed to take care of. He did not have the time to stay here and grieve for the passing of time. In addition, to him, Lin Fan's death was not worth lamenting.

At this moment, Ruan Xiaonuan finally felt the distance between her and this era.

As she walked back, she was a little silent. Gu Junxiu thought that she was frightened, and said gently, "He is already dead, we will be fine once we return to the palace."

Ruan Xiaonuan nodded slightly, indicating that he had heard his words. However, he did not raise her head to look at him. This made him puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, Lin Zian suddenly stood in front of them, and immediately pointed her sword at him.

The other guards surrounded the three of them, and stared fixedly at Lin Zian, in case he made any moves.

"All of you, leave first." Gu Junxiu instructed, he knew that Lin Zian was not here to cause trouble.

When they had walked a little further, Lin Zian finally spoke, "Your Highness, you promised this commoner that you wouldn't go back on your words?"

From his hiding spot in the dark, he could see the scene of Lin Yemao falling off the cliff. His heart ached, but he remembered the story Ruan Xiaonuan had told him. It stopped him from thinking about saving her.

Using Lin Dong's life in exchange for the lives of everyone in the Lin Family, he did not suffer a loss. However, he was worried that Gu Junxiu was just fawning on him at that time, and hence he could not help but reveal himself.

"I have always kept my word and never hurt the lives of the Lin Clan members." His voice was slightly cold, and transmitted into Lin Zian's ears through the night wind.
