"Maybe this will be the last time I see you."

Duo Xiuen looked at the royal palace armed forces silently gathered and mobilized around him, and a strange smile appeared on his pale face.

“I have no choice.”

Xia Lan replied calmly.

"Your danger is not just from the assassination itself." Doshuen turned his eyes to the busy figures of Dimar and Elvis not far away and said: "They will most likely be the last deadly person to give you."

Xia Lan said calmly.

"At least they still retain their trust in me now."

"Trust? It's really a cheap trust that can be broken with just one click." Duo Xiuen mocked without hesitation: "I'm still curious about one thing. What is the reason that is worth your risk?"

"Everyone has a reason to live." Xia Lan turned her head and looked at him, "Same thing about you. What is the reason worth dedicating your life to this kingdom?"

Faced with Xia Lan's re-answer question, Duo Xiuen was silent for a moment and chuckled, saying, "It is not easy to have an opponent worthy of resentment in life. Although I am still reluctant, I hope you can survive."

"Do you kill me if you live?"

Xia Lan's indifferent path.

"Would you like to kill me?" It seems that in order to prevent Xia Lan from asking him again, Duo Xiuen said first: "I want to kill you because you have defeated me. This matter has become a knot in my heart. If you don't kill you, it will probably become the biggest obstacle for me to step into the FerNu law in the future."

"A pretty reasonable reason." Xia Lan nodded gently and said, "If I wanted to kill you because you wanted to kill me, would you believe it?"

"I don't believe it."

Duo Xiuen did not hesitate at all.

"Why?"

Xia Lan asked.

"Because when we first met and fought that night, I saw your determination to kill me." Doshuen explained softly: "I have had many speculations, but none of these speculations can stand the scrutiny."

“For example?”

Xia Lan narrowed her eyes lightly.

"I have offended many people. Maybe you are the killer they hired to find, but judging from your performance, you are not a qualified killer."

Duo Xiuen shook his head and said.

"No, you said it wrong. My identity has always been a killer." Xia Lan smiled at Doshuen and said, "The determination to kill you at that time was just a temporary intention and a temptation for me, and there was no unnecessary meaning in it."

"Test?"

Duo Xiuen seemed to have grasped a certain key question.

"That's right." Xia Lan sneered: "But you will never know the reason."

Duo Xiuen suddenly laughed out loud and said, "At least I can be sure of one thing. There will definitely be unexpected things in this assassination."

A smart man with a keen intuition.

Xia Lan commented on him again, but this time he did not continue to pay attention to the other party.

Perhaps it was because of his inner depression before the event that he was willing to talk to him a few more words. In the final analysis, the other party is his enemy after all.

There is no question of mutual appreciation, it is simply a temptation of hypocrisy.

"Drank!"

At this time, Elvis, who had organized the assassination team in the distance, waved and shouted at Xia Lan.

They are ready to set off.

"I have to go now."

Xia Lan held the long sword around her waist and pulled the reins of the war horse.

"This is for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Lan quickly reached out and grabbed something.

This is a long sword, a long sword emitting fiery inscription.

"Sword is the second life of a swordsman. A good sword will undoubtedly increase your chances of survival. I hope you will not let my gift down."

Looking at the strange expression in the eyes of the young swordsman in front of him, Duo Xiuen said with a smile.

"You are so generous."

Xia Lan would not tell him that there was another inscription sword in the finger virtual ring, which was not inferior to that of the inscription, but since someone was willing to give the sword rashly, he would not vaguely refuse.

After a while, smoke and dust rolled on horse hooves, and a team disappeared into the night.

"It's not like you."

Quietly, Kinslon's low voice suddenly rang in Dossen's ears.

"I know."

Duo Xiuen stared at the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated in the distance and said, "Sometimes, people always do things that make them feel strange."

"You admire him?"

Kinslondau.

"Do you appreciate it?" Duo Xiuen said thoughtfully: "Maybe."

"Prepare for the siege, at least show the meaning of our existence."

After Kinslom finished speaking, he rode his horse away.

A sharp horn that resounded throughout the plain immediately broke the silent and solidified scene of death.

...

Running under the vast night plain, feeling the violent bumps from the war horses and the cold wind blew on her face. Xia Lan didn't know how long it had been since she tried such a stimulating move.

However, what surprised him was that this team that ventured to death and assassinate actually ran contrary to the direction of the capital.

No one answered his doubts because no one was willing to speak.

Almost everyone's face kept a taciturn and solemn expression, perhaps they were thinking more about how to survive the unknown and dangerous assassination.

Time passed little by little, and soon the blurred outline of a manor appeared in sight.

It is obvious that this is a leisure estate belonging to the nobles.

When they rode their horses into the manor, no one appeared, even the guards were in charge.

"dismount!"

As Dimar shouted, the rushing horse hooves immediately stopped, and everyone followed the instructions and jumped down from the horse.

Without any extra words, following Dimar and Elvis' footsteps, they soon arrived in front of the iconic towering residence in the manor.

He pushed open the door roughly and rushed in.

At this time, Xia Lan discovered the traces of people.

After a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper appeared, Dimar stepped forward and seemed to say something to him. Not long after, the two led everyone through the corridor to a room.

After entering this room that looked like a study, the middle-aged butler seemed to be fiddling with something in front of a tall bookshelf, but it did not puzzle them for too long, because the bookshelf suddenly moved left and right, instantly showing a pitch-black door.

"This is a secret passage connecting the inner part of the capital, and it existed a long time ago."

Entering the dark door one by one, Elvis said in unknown when he appeared behind Xia Lan.

The cunning rabbit has three holes, not to mention that the great prince Sasso, who is often worried about his own safety, is not easy to dig out such a escape passage.

"Why didn't you tell Cinthlon and the others?"

This is Xia Lan's first reaction.

If we use this channel to allow top domain powerhouses like Kinslom to sneak into the capital, it will inevitably bring a great turning point to the current critical situation, but why do they hide it?

Elvis remained silent about this.

"Is it because His Highness the Great Prince is here?"

Xia Lan suddenly guessed.

"You're smart, but sometimes it's not a good thing to be too smart."

Elvis shook his head and said with some advice.

"This is already our last shelter. If even this place is exposed, then we will never have any hope of life."

In this way, Xia Lan also understood why they concealed the passage.

Because the eldest prince didn't trust Kinslon and the others at all.

Especially when it comes to life and death crisis, any mistake will lead to a loss.

Kinslom was the king's confidant. Although their interests were consistent, who knew what unusual actions would lead to bad consequences.

Sasso dared not gamble.

His cautious character also did not allow him to bet.
