CHAPTER 423: CHAPTER 405:

Among them were naturally people under the Crown Prince, Lin Yanran and her brother, and some noble scions who were on good terms with Lin Haoran.

However, outside King Qin’s camp, there were stern and chilling Xuanjia Guards on duty. How could just anyone get close?

Even if she and Shen Mubai had no past to rekindle, the fact that the dead girl had someone write a dismissal letter to make room was true!

As soon as she left Qishan, Shen Mubai chased after her eagerly!

The lord is not dead yet!

Moreover, the dead girl also said she liked Shen Mubai! Although it was false, why couldn’t it be said she liked the lord?

The more Nangong Mo thought about it, the darker his face became, no, it was surrounded by murderous intent!

Then, he suddenly stood up and left.

Watching his murderously intent back, Yun Ran instinctively asked, "Hey, where are you going?"

The man turned around, gave a chilly smile, teeth gleaming, "To kill Shen, Mubai!"

Yun Ran: "......"

...

Qishan.

In the past two days, the entanglements between Shen Mubai, Yu Qingyan, and Yun Ran were spread far and wide, with plenty of people daily finding various excuses to try and enter King Qin’s camp to probe the situation.

Although said to be guards, they were all seasoned and tempered on the battlefield, each with piercing gazes, unsmiling, and exuding an aura of killing intent that would make ordinary people tremble upon a single glance.

And they gave face to no one, all visitors were blocked ten feet outside the camp gate.

Inside the Crown Prince’s camp.

The guard cautiously glanced at the Crown Prince’s expression, reporting somewhat nervously, "Your Highness, the people we sent to visit were again... driven back."

Actually, he had already put it very tactfully and nicely!

Because, they were clearly beaten back.

In recent days, the Crown Prince had sent several groups to visit King Qin, without exception, every time resulted in closed doors, and each time was more discourteous than the last!

This time, those sent hoped to forcefully enter under the guise of concern and the Crown Prince’s authority, only to be directly beaten and flown out!

This blatant act of attacking the Crown Prince’s people was an open affront to the Crown Prince’s dignity!

Yet, Nangong Jue’s expression revealed neither joy nor anger, he merely waved a hand in silence, signaling for the guard to withdraw.

A man dressed in gray clothes emerged from the shadows, offering no kneeling gesture, yet his demeanor and speech were exceptionally respectful.

"Your Highness, there are countless bright posts and dark sentries outside King Qin’s camp, all top-notch experts. The Hidden Guard’s several attempts to sneak in have been unsuccessful, and those sent openly have all been turned away with ’King Qin sees no guests’."

"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be a reason! But what play is King Qin performing this time?"

"Could it be, he is seriously injured and does not dare to announce it? Therefore, closing the door to visitors? Or, is he enacting an empty city stratagem, and has long left the camp in truth?"

"But most of the guards he brought remain here, if he simply left like that, it would be extremely bold!"

Nangong Jue listened to the man’s analysis, silent and thinking, only a light furrow on his brow hinting at contemplation.

The man in gray glanced at the Crown Prince, knowing that at this moment, the matter most concerning to him was whether it truly was Nangong Mo himself who attacked and attempted assassination that night? And, what was his current situation?

The man in gray pondered slightly, "Your Highness, might I go to probe the truth?"

Nangong Jue, who had not spoken a word, slowly turned to look outside the camp, his gaze deep and unreadable, "No, I will go myself."

...

Shen Weixi once again arrived outside King Qin’s camp.
