Chapter 865 I will never give up until she dies
After Xiao Tinglan left, he looked at the group of people his father had sent to pick him up, his eyes gloomy: "Send someone to kill Shen Shuyi."
The leading guard frowned and said, "Princess, the prince orders you to return to the capital immediately!"
Xiao Tinglan glared at him coldly: "As long as Shen Shuyi is alive, I will never go! And you will never be able to report to my father!"
Several people looked at each other, and the leader said in embarrassment: "Princess, Shen Shuyi is now also a princess appointed by His Majesty himself. If..."
"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Isn't it just right for her to die here? If you don't take action now, do you have to wait until we return to Beijing?" Xiao Tinglan's eyes turned red, especially when she thought of Shen Shuyi's arrogant look just now, she was so angry that her whole body was shaking.
From childhood to adulthood, when has she ever suffered such humiliation!
Unfortunately, she failed in her attempts to plot against Shen Shuyi several times, and couldn't win the fight against him, so she could only watch helplessly as the man she loved was snatched away from her.
When she is killed, she will definitely scratch her face!
"Besides, you all saw what she did just now. Can you really just watch her bully me and act like a tyrant?" Xiao Tinglan said with a cold face.
The group of people were all guards of the royal palace. Seeing this, they looked at each other in confusion.
After a while, the leader sighed and said, "I obey your command."
Hearing this, Xiao Tinglan smiled and said, "Don't worry, after you kill Shen Shuyi, I will go back with you and won't make things difficult for you. But I will never give up until she dies!"
Xiao Tinglan's maid couldn't help but say, "Princess, Shen Shuyi is highly regarded by His Majesty and the Queen Mother. If they really find out that her death is related to you, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Tinglan frowned and said nonchalantly, "There are so many bandits here, you can just pretend to be bandits and kill her. No one else will notice anything."
"But Shen Shuyi also has experts around him. I don't know if others can find out. If Master Xie knows about it, I think it will be very bad for you..."
The maid wanted to say something else, but unfortunately, Xiao Tinglan didn't hear a word she said.
"Enough! Xie Jingchi was only attracted to her temporarily. That woman was scheming and deceived him. As long as she dies, he will forget about it in no time. He is a cold-hearted person and there is no way he would do anything for a woman." Xiao Tinglan spoke firmly, unwilling to listen any more.
"Within three days, I want to hear the news of Shen Shuyi's death!" Xiao Tinglan said coldly and turned away.

Shen Shuyi and his group sat in the inn for a while, listening to the idle chatter of the people in the inn, and learned a lot of news about Liangzhou City.
The people here worship the Wolf King as a god and have great faith in him.
Let's just say that the Wolf King has been fighting against Yuan Xia for several years and has never let Yuan Xia gain any advantage. Even if it means hurting the enemy by a thousand and losing eight hundred of his own, he will still tear off a piece of Yuan Xia's flesh.
It was this ruthlessness and madness that forced Yuan Xia to retreat several times.
As for Han Xiao's current behavior, it was purely because he was forced by the Wolf King. The Wolf King used his troops without any rules or regulations. Every time the Han Xiao King was dissatisfied and wanted to fight with him for a few rounds, he was often defeated before he even started, which made him very angry.
To the extent that now, the third prince of Yuanxia, King Hanxiao, has also imitated King Canglang, deliberately being mysterious in order to highlight that he is also a master of military strategy and trying to prevent people from seeing his true purpose.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but recall what Xie Jingchi had said before. No wonder he said that he was mentally ill.
It is ridiculous to try to draw a tiger but end up drawing a dog instead.
After sitting for a while, it was getting dark. Shen Shuyi took the group for a walk, bought some Liangzhou delicacies sold on the roadside, and occasionally watched performances. He felt that this place had a different flavor from Beijing.
Just as Shen Shuyi was about to go back, he saw Xie Jingchi coming over.
"Why are you here?" Shen Shuyi was stunned for a moment.
"After I finished my work, I heard someone say you were out for a walk, so I came over to see you." Xie Jingchi held her hand, their fingers tightly intertwined.
Shen Shuyi's face turned slightly red, and seeing that no one cared, she just let him go.
As it got dark, the temperature dropped sharply, and Shen Shuyi felt a little cold. Xie Jingchi tied the cloak around her and continued to hold her hand, saying, "There are lanterns for sale here all year round. I'll take you around."
Shen Shuyi looked over and indeed found that after it got dark, many vendors had hung up lanterns of various shapes. She couldn't help but wonder: "It's not the Lantern Festival, nor the Mid-Autumn Festival, why are there so many lanterns for sale?"
Xie Jingchi explained in a gentle voice, "In fact, we sold river lanterns at first. Liangzhou is located at the border, and there are wars all year round. Even if the dead are not soldiers, there will be raids by Yuanxia and bandits. Often, the whole family will be killed overnight. As a result, people die almost every day."
"So people often put lanterns in the river to commemorate their dead relatives and soldiers. Over time, people here got used to putting lanterns in the river every day."
"But just setting off river lanterns would inevitably seem sad, and since many children like them, vendors started making lanterns. As a result, all kinds of lanterns were made in Liangzhou City. Every night, the lights were bright and beautiful."
Shen Shuyi followed Xie Jingchi to the riverside and indeed saw many people releasing river lanterns on the river bank. Lighted river lanterns were floating in the tranquil river water, and the bright lights were reflected on the dark and silent river surface. The indescribable beauty made this city, which was constantly ravaged by war, present a brief moment of tranquility and peace, which was both beautiful and sad.
There are many vendors selling lanterns by the river. In addition to lanterns, there are also some beautiful exotic gadgets, including silverware popular among the Li tribe, exquisitely crafted daggers from Yuanxia, and some exotic jewelry and head ornaments.
"I want this little fox lantern." Xie Jingchi picked one, and Fu Guang behind him stepped forward to pay the silver, and then whispered beside Xie Jingchi: "Master, someone is following us."
"Yeah." Xie Jingchi looked normal, but there was a murderous intent in his dark pupils.
Shen Shuyi walked to the side and saw a stall selling masks. He couldn't help but pick up a white fox mask, put it in front of his eyes, turned to look at Xie Jingchi and said, "Does it look good?"
Xie Jingchi's eyes were deep: "Madam, you look beautiful in anything you wear."
Shen Shuyi smiled, and inexplicably felt that when she was with him, she felt a rare sense of peace.
Shen Shuyi picked up another mask and wanted to compare it with Xie Jingchi's face, but as soon as she raised the mask, Bicheng stepped forward and said anxiously, "Madam!"
"What's wrong?" Shen Shuyi was puzzled.
Bicheng was about to say something but stopped, and subconsciously looked at Xie Jingchi.
Xie Jingchi stood there, without moving, just looking at Shen Shuyi with a smile, without stopping him.
Bicheng took a step back and said awkwardly: "The master doesn't like to wear these things."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the golden mask in his hand, feeling a little sorry: "This mask looks familiar... It's pretty good."
