Chapter 137: Shameless
Shen Li just hoped that the man surnamed Liang would not come to his senses too quickly, giving her and Luo Zhi some time to escape.
After Liang Yangrong calmed down, he suddenly realized that he was as stupid as a pig!
According to Shen Li, it seemed that if the prince did not marry her, he would never be able to ascend the throne.
But in fact, even if the prince did not marry her, he might not be able to ascend the throne.
But if the prince really married her, he would ascend the throne.
By then, her status will have risen, and even if she whispers in the prince's ear and stirs things up, there is no guarantee that she will not harm the Liang family.
Who would just sit there and do nothing and allow a few trees to burn when a few sparks appear in the wilderness?
Instead, we have to wait until the fire spreads rapidly and cannot be stopped before we regret not extinguishing the flames when they were still weak.
This Shen Li, is she treating him like a fool?
Liang Yangrong's eyebrows twitched twice, and he was so angry that his teeth itched, "Go, kill them!"
"Yes!"
The twenty or so people didn't care why their master went back on his word. After receiving the order, they quickly chased after the two men with torches in hand.
Before Shen Li and Xing Ping walked out of the temple, they heard the sound of quick and steady footsteps chasing after them.
"Hurry, run!"
Shen Li swore, swore a poisonous oath!
As long as she can escape safely this time, she will learn from her mistakes and learn...how to run faster!
The firelight jumped, casting a messy shadow of people on the ground.
Countless white blades were raised high, like a group of jackals chasing two young and helpless rabbits.
There is absolutely no chance of escape!
She held up her skirt and ran wildly, hoping that the Bodhisattva in the temple would show her power and save them from the dire situation.
She will definitely repay the kindness and rebuild his golden body!
At the critical moment, there were a few "clang" sounds, and countless arrows streaked across the night sky.
The arrow flashed with cold light and with a sharp whistling sound, it flew towards the crowd like a meteor.
Suddenly, a wailing sound rang out in the yard, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, reaching the sky.
Shen Li paused and looked back.
The people chasing them fell to the ground one by one, and the torches in their hands also fell to the ground.
The sparks burned fiercely on the corpse, making crackling sounds.
The air was suddenly filled with a sickening smell of barbecue.
All...dead?
Shen Li turned his head and looked in the direction where the arrow came from.
On top of the high wall, there were countless guards wearing silver armor surrounding them. The silver armor was illuminated by the fire and was particularly conspicuous in the night.
When she saw the familiar tall figure, her pupils shrank.
The firelight and moonlight intertwined and shone together, and on the eaves of the wall, a handsome young man stood with a vigorous demeanor.
The night wind blew up the corners of his dark blue robe. Although he looked calm and composed, his whole body exuded a domineering aura that looked down on the world. He was cold, lonely and domineering.
The silver bow in his hand shone with a cold light under the moonlight.
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether she should be happy or sad.
Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Liang Yangrong's eyes widened with anger, bloodshot, "Shen Beiqi, it's you again!"
Shen Beiqi curled his lips and smiled, threw the silver bow to Yue Yang beside him, and jumped down from the wall.
"Yes, it's me again."
He raised his hand and gently brushed off the dust on the corner of his robe, "I hope Shen's archery skills did not disappoint Mr. Liang."
Liang Yangrong's face darkened. Shen Beiqi didn't even look at him and walked straight to Shen Li's side.
"Are you injured?"
She didn't say anything, so he had to hold her shoulders and look her around, examining her carefully.
Shen Li watched quietly, the dancing flames all over the yard reflected a radiant light in his eyes.
After confirming that she was not injured, Shen Beiqi ordered Luo Zhi to take her back to the carriage.
"you..."
Shen Li wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to ask.
He stroked her hair gently, "If you have anything to say, we'll talk later."
What else is there to say?
He must know everything she did!
Shen Li was supported by Luo Zhi and walked towards the carriage as if in a daze.
Seeing Shen Li's uneasy look, Luo Zhi felt a little strange.
Just now, facing so many people, the girl did not show the slightest sign of timidity, and was able to deal with the clever words of the man named Liang.
Why did she look so worried now that the Duke was here and everything was alright?
Shen Li sat down in the car, clenched and unclenched her hands on her knees, and she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
Shen Beiqi quickly cleaned up the mess, broke Liang Yangrong's legs, and sent people to escort him to the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Tomorrow morning, the entire Liang family will go to keep him company.
The carriage was traveling in the night and it was very quiet inside. Shen Li kept his head down and did not speak for a long time.
He raised his eyelashes, his dark eyes staring straight at her, her face reflected in his peach blossom eyes.
"Just now, didn't you have something to say to me?"
He noticed that she was a little unhappy, so he moved closer to her and was about to reach out to hug her, but she pushed him away.
"You know all that, don't you?"
Shen Li asked in a hoarse voice.
All her vicious intentions, her ugly soul, and the heinous things she did to avenge Ziyuan.
He knows it all!
No wonder, no wonder everything went so smoothly.
It was so smooth that it felt abnormal.
So, it was because he had been hiding behind her and secretly helping her?
Should she thank him?
She felt like she was thrown naked into a busy street.
It was like someone had looked through me from inside to outside without reservation, and even the last bit of my dignity had been thrown to the ground and trampled into powder.
Anyone could know, but she just didn't want him to know.
She just hoped that in front of him, she could always be the simple-minded, gentle and delicate Shen Li!
Shen Beiqi reached out to hold her hand, but she dodged aside.
His movements paused in the air, his fingers curled slightly, "Yes, I know everything."
"From the very beginning, when Luo Zhi started investigating... no, from the moment you sent Luo Zhi to me, you had planned everything?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I just want to help you, nothing else."
Shen Li felt ashamed, her clenched fists trembling slightly. She stood up and wanted to jump off the carriage, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back to her side.
"what you do!?"
His tone seemed a little angry.
She could only turn her back to him. At this moment, having torn off all her disguises, she didn't even have the courage to turn around and face him.
He sighed softly and calmed his tone, "Ari, listen to me..."
His thin shoulders were trembling slightly, and if he held his breath, he could hear suppressed sobs.
Shen Beiqi was stunned, and turned her body around so that she faced him.
Her lower lip was bitten so hard that it turned white. She forced herself not to cry out loud, but her tears dripped down her cheeks and onto his wide sleeves.
He was most afraid of her crying. From childhood to adulthood, every time she cried, he would have to give in and compromise on everything and let her do what she wanted.
At this moment, he could only hold her tightly in his arms and gently rest his chin on the top of her head.
In fact, how could he not know why she was sad and why she was crying.
She buried her face in his chest, her hot tears seeping through his clothes and soaking into his skin, the heat burning his heart and chest.
He raised his hand, stroked her soft black hair, and advised softly,
"Ari, do you still remember what I said to you last time?"
