The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 136 She is a Killer

Ye Lang was angry because Ye Xi punished Li Chou half a month ago. He had hardly spoken to her in the past half month. Now he was riding a horse and walking in front with a sullen face.

There were already many eyes secretly observing him. Seeing this, Ye Xi took the initiative to walk faster and catch up with Ye Lang: "Sister-in-law has been cooped up in the house for many days. Now that she can finally come out for some fresh air, I believe she will feel better."

Ye Lang snorted coldly, without saying a word, he stepped forward with his horse's belly between his legs and walked in front.

Ye Xi couldn't stop calling him, and seeing that Chang Lingyue had already galloped past Ye Lang, he had to give up.

After a winding journey, we finally arrived at the Hunting Palace.

Ye Lang was responsible for the main guarding matters during this autumn hunt, so in his eyes, he had a legitimate reason to get close to Qi Zhaomian.

As soon as the team stopped, Ye Lang turned his horse around and headed to the back.

Ye Xi saw through his plan and suddenly pulled him back: "Brother! Don't do anything impulsive in front of everyone!"

Ye Lang's eyes were filled with an unfriendly expression. "Why, punishing my deputy commander in the mansion wasn't enough, and now you're trying to show off your power to my brother outside?"

Ye Xi gritted his teeth: "Brother, you should know that I don't mean that."

Ye Lang shook off her hand: "Xi'er, don't think that just because the army is supporting you more, it means anything. I am the General of Zhennan. There are some things, whether in the army or at home, you are not qualified to teach me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xi's hand also dropped.

Having said that, she was no longer able to stop anything and could only watch Ye Lang riding his horse towards Qi Zhaomian, her heart filled with sadness.

She had assumed that because she was a woman, a younger sister, not a man who could inherit the title, her brother wouldn't harbor too many grievances. Therefore, over the years, she had never concealed her edge, and had always been deeply concerned with military affairs.

Without him.

It was simply because the Ye family had been generals for generations, leading the Qing Cang Army to protect generation after generation of monarchs. Even if he was just a soldier in the Qing Cang Army, he would not allow his reputation for loyalty to be ruined in his own hands.

She knew that her brother did not have the talent to lead an army, but fortunately their father was still alive, and they, as brothers and sisters, were united and would definitely be able to fulfill the responsibilities of their generation.

But now it seems that there may have been a rift between Ye Lang and her for a long time.

Brother, is he still afraid of me after all?

Ye Lang was also filled with anger. Chang Lingyue's words echoed in his ears. Thinking of how popular Ye Xi was in the army, he felt even more unhappy.

After all, he is the commander-in-chief. Ye Xi is a woman. She should just learn what a woman should learn and wait to marry a husband. Why does he always have to act like a sensible person and teach her a lesson?

In anger, he had already walked to the front of the carriage.

Qi Zhaomian held Lin Shanjuan's hand and stepped on the ground. Her hastily arranged makeup and clothes were still perfect, but her smile stopped abruptly when she saw Ye Lang.

Ye Lang naturally noticed her undisguised rejection. His eyes dimmed for a moment, but he still walked stubbornly in front of Qi Zhaomian.

"Your Highness, I have something important to discuss. I would like to speak with you for a moment."

Qi Zhaomian had no interest in the "important matter" he mentioned and simply refused: "I will not be involved in state affairs now. If General Ye has something to say, please go and tell the emperor."

Ye Lang did not stand up: "This matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty, it only concerns Your Highness."

Lin Shanjuan sneered and couldn't bear to listen any longer. With a surge of bitterness in his heart, he pulled Qi Zhaomian to his side without hesitation:

"General Ye rarely understands what people say. What's the matter? Do you not want to hear nice words and want to be scolded?"

Ye Lang's expression froze, and he subconsciously looked at Qi Zhaomian, but saw that the latter did not struggle, but just turned sideways to him, as if trying his best to distance himself from the matter.

Ye Lang felt humiliated, but he was surrounded by people from the princess's mansion, and the emperor was right in front of him.

Lin Shanjuan is currently in the emperor's favor, and it would be of no benefit to him if the emperor heard their argument.

"You... I want to tell Her Highness something about you. Don't you know what you are hiding from her?"

Lin Shanjuan snorted coldly and simply let go: "No one will listen, you can say whatever you want, I'm actually very curious about what I'm hiding from her."

Qi Zhaomian looked at Ye Lang curiously. Lin Shanjuan took ten steps back, put on a forced smile, and made a "please" gesture to Ye Lang.

This is a blatant provocation! Do you really think you're hiding it well?

Ye Lang clenched his teeth and looked at Qi Zhaomian with deep affection and tenderness: "She is a killer! She has been lying to you all along. She has been hiding by your side under an assumed name. She must have bad intentions. You must not trust her!"

Qi Zhaomian was shocked - Ye Lang and Lin Shanjuan didn't have much interaction, how did he know?

If she had first heard about this from Ye Lang, she would have doubted Lin Shanjuan. However, Lin Shanjuan had already confessed, and hearing it from someone else, she would not doubt her, but would trust her even more.

"I know she is a killer." She said slowly.

Ye Lang was surprised: "You know? Then you still..."

"Her target is me." Qi Zhaomian showed a distant expression. "Besides, this is my private matter. General Ye, there's no need to interfere too much."

Ye Lang clenched his fists in annoyance. The reason why he came to expose Lin Shanjuan's identity was because he knew that Qi Zhaomian was a person who would not tolerate any sand in his eyes and would definitely not tolerate such a hidden danger to be buried around him.

In this way, if he could get rid of Lin Shanjuan, he could persuade his father to marry Qi Zhaomian.

Unfortunately, everything did not go as he expected.

Qi Zhaomian didn't want to say more to him. He beckoned Lin Shanjuan, who was a few steps away, with his finger: "Juan'er, let's go."

Lin Shanjuan smiled and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of honor.

"coming!"

Ye Lang turned around and subconsciously called out to Qi Zhaomian: "...Your Highness! She! She is..."

Qi Zhaomian paused impatiently, but did not turn around. "I know, no need to say more. His Majesty has entrusted you with an important task, you should not let him down."

Her attitude was extremely cold, but the colder she was, the more the desire for something that could not be obtained tormented Ye Lang, and he could not let go easily no matter what.

Lin Shanjuan deliberately took Qi Zhaomian's hand and winked at Ye Lang as if in protest.

Ye Lang's back teeth were clattering, and his fists were clenched so tightly that his palms turned white. He really wanted to pack up Lin Shanjuan right now and throw him as far away as possible.

Ji Shihan watched this scene from afar and sneered, "Later, privately invite General Ye to our tent for a discussion. As for the reason for the invitation...just tell him I have something he wants."

"Yes."
