Chapter 448: The Mysterious Killer, Shen Chuan's Past Ambition and Domination
A scream, eyes full of blood, and an arm flying from mid-air shocked everyone present.
Especially Zhang Zhirou, her eyes were full of horror and fear, as if she was meeting the person in front of her for the first time.
Shu He was so shocked that he stood up and roared, "Shen Lanzhi, you are crazy!!"
After cursing, she quickly took out a hemostatic pill and stuffed it into Ma Junhe's mouth, then found the medicine box to stabilize his injuries.
Although she didn't have a close relationship with Ma Junhe, she could see that he was a loyal man.
But such loyalty seems to be worthless to Shen Lanzhi.
Shu He looked at Shen Chuan coldly, unable to help but feel disappointed in him. "You made the mistake yourself, but you have to let your subordinates bear the responsibility. Shen Lanzhi, as a man, do you still have any blood in you?"
Shen Chuan's face was indifferent. At this moment, he hated the name "Shen Lanzhi" so much!
"Miss Shu He, no, don't blame the prince, it's my fault..."
Ma Junhe was covered in cold sweat. Apart from a shout when his arm was chopped off, he didn't say a word afterwards.
Shu He also admired him for this.
Her tone was calm, without any further emotion. "You are just a puppet following orders. If someone kills someone, it's not the knife that's guilty, but the person holding the knife!"
Shen Chuan looked at her. How could she not understand the meaning of her words?
So, she still thought that he wanted to kill Baili Moqing?
Ma Junhe lowered his head, not daring to look Shu He in the eye.
After the wound on his arm was healed, he mustered up his courage and said, "This matter really has nothing to do with the prince. He has no knowledge of it..."
Shu He paused as he was picking up the gauze, a look of confusion in his eyes.
He didn't know?
But wasn't Ma Jun just following his orders?
"It's a letter from Beidi, asking me to cooperate and keep an eye on Prince Li's whereabouts..."
Letter from Beidi?
The Shen Chuan who stayed in Beidi?
Shu He's eyes were filled with suspicion. "Just leaking his whereabouts? But how could the King of Jin not be able to find out Baili Moqing's whereabouts? Does he need a foreigner like you to provide information?"
Ma Junhe glanced at Shu He, then at Shen Chuan, "There are many routes to Jingshan. It's not easy to get Prince Li's patrol route without revealing your identity."
"Besides, he's not easy to deal with. If we don't prepare in advance on his path, few people in this world are sure to kill him."
Hearing this, Shu He's expression turned completely cold. "What preparations did you make in advance? What makes you think Baili Moqing will definitely go to Mingguo Temple?"
Ma Junhe looked at Shen Chuan again. He really didn't dare to say it.
After all, this was an order from Beidi. If the specific information was leaked, they would probably fail!
At this time, Shen Chuan said coldly, "You don't even want the other arm, right?"
Ma Junhe was caught in a dilemma, but he finally spoke.
"Prince Jin said they have a new type of weapon that is extremely powerful and lethal! Although it hasn't been mass-produced yet, he said it's enough to deal with Baili Moqing."
"Ma Junhe, you've grown up!" How dare you do such a big thing without telling him!
Ma Junhe looked at him with mixed feelings. "Sir, it's not that I don't want to tell you. The Marshal is right. You've been blinded by love and have lost your former decisiveness."
"If I tell you this, I'm afraid you'll ruin all my plans for the sake of Miss Shu He..."
The last sentence seemed to completely ignite Shen Chuan's anger. He swung the sword in his hand again, almost passing through Ma Junhe's throat.
At the critical moment, it was Shu He who stopped him and saved Ma Junhe's life.
Shen Chuan looked at her in confusion. Didn’t she just want to kill him to vent her anger for Baili Moqing?
Why should we stop him from killing the people who plotted against Baili Moqing now?
Shu He squatted in front of Ma Junhe and asked again, "When will the plan be implemented? What is the ultimate killer weapon that King Jin mentioned? Also, how did you know Baili Moqing would pass by Mingguo Temple?"
"Ma Junhe, since we know each other, I can spare you, but you'd better explain everything to me clearly! Otherwise, I will kill you without Shen Lanzhi having to do anything!"
Ma Junhe looked at her sincerely, "Miss Shuhe, I'm very grateful for saving your life just now. However, this time, it was designed by multiple parties. In addition to the powerful weapon, there are countless masters waiting for them. Even if you go, it won't change anything."
After hearing this, Shu He already knew that Ma Junhe would not reveal any more useful information.
She stood up, lowered her eyebrows and looked at him, and said coldly, "I regret saving you just now."
After saying that, Shu He didn't even look at Shen Chuan, but just said to Zhang Zhirou, "Let's go!"
If we ride faster now, maybe we can still reach Mingguo Temple.
Shen Chuan looked at the backs of the two men as they left. She was so resolute and heartless that she didn't even glance at him...
What do you mean?
Are you planning to break up with him?
Loneliness enveloped him completely.
He looked at Ma Junhe coldly and asked, "You should know who you belong to. Have you really thought about the consequences of betraying me?"
Ma Junhe knelt on the ground and raised his head after a mental struggle.
"Marshal, I know who I am. Prince Lanzhi is right. Ever since you met Miss Shu He, you are no longer the marshal you once were!"
"It's not his turn to comment on what I decide! Has he forgotten who saved his life, healed his face, and pulled him out of the dark despair?"
When did he learn to repay kindness with enmity?
"Marshal! Baili Moqing's life and death are crucial to whether Beidi can unify the world. You can no longer be indecisive!"
"The chaos of the succession struggle within the Tianqi Dynasty is our Beidi's chance! As long as Baili Moqing dies, Tianqi will be finished!"
"By then, we'll unite with Yunlai Kingdom and Qingzhu, and we'll be able to take down Tianqi in less than half a year!"
"By then, Beidi's ambition to unify the world will be just around the corner!"
Ma Junhe looked at him painfully, feeling both sad and disappointed. "Marshal, isn't this your greatest wish? Have you forgotten it?"
"shut up!!"
Shen Chuan stared at him, anger flickering in her eyes, and her fists clenched tightly behind her back.
He used almost all his strength to suppress his impulse, because he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and would punch his head!
"Ma Junhe, no matter what excuse you have, it is not a reason for you to betray me!"
"I hope you can always remember that today, you were able to keep your life because of the woman you just regarded as a 'stumbling block'!"
Ma Junhe collapsed on the ground from his kneeling position, with shame uncontrollably appearing in his trembling pupils.
She is indeed a kind woman, but unfortunately, she is not from Beidi, but from Tianqi, and a patriotic Tianqi.
This meant that they could never be friends.
"If she dies, I will thank you with my own life!"
These words instantly dissipated Shen Chuan's anger, and what lingered in her heart was a deep sense of unease.
"What do you mean?!"
