Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 95: Assassination?

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

“Brother Qingye, watch out!” Qi Cheng suddenly shouted.

Lin Qingye got serious when a group of people in black suddenly showed up around him, their swords emitting cold gloss.

“Protect the crown prince.”

“Yes!”

Ke Ruan pulled Si Yuhan into the corner of the carriage and instructed him in a low voice, “Don’t run about this time. Weapons are dangerous. Being injured is no small matter. Do you hear me?”

Si Yuhan’s eyes darkened and he nodded.

“We will stay in the carriage today. General Lin and Qi… Eh-hem, Brother Muqing will protect us.” Ke Ruan almost spilled the beans. From now on, no, it should be from the moment they got down the Qiao Mountain, everyone had to completely forget the name Qi Cheng. He was now named Muqing.

As for the reason of picking such a sissy name, Ke Ruan had no idea. Maybe he liked it.

Outside the carriage, the tinkling of knives and swords hitting against each other could be heard. From time to time, there would be some swords plunged into the carriage, but these were nothing to be afraid of.

Si Yuhan looked up at Ke Ruan who had a leisure look and said casually, “You don’t seem to be worried.”

Previously when they were attacked, he remembered that Ke Ruan looked very nervous.

Ke Ruan, “…”

Was it so obvious?

“Well… That time because I… I…” Ke Ruan rolled his eyes. “Look, last time, we caused trouble for General Lin, didn’t we? Under such circumstances, General Lin could get us safe and sound, so this time, it’s better for us to stay in the carriage.”

A hint of laughter appeared in Si Yuhan’s eyes. Ke Ruan would make some petty actions every time he lied, so obvious.

Si Yuhan no longer asked, and Ke Ruan was relieved. He didn’t want the male lead to be involved in these fights.

The sound of fighting outside slowly faded. Ke Ruan opened the curtains and found many people in black lying here and there outside. He said, “Little Han, stay inside. I’ll go out to check.”

Without waiting for Si Yuhan to respond, Ke Ruan jumped off the carriage.

“These gangsters were so bold as to assassinate the crown prince.”

Ke Ruan glanced at General Long with a complicated expression.

“I will report to the emperor and investigate this incident thoroughly,” General Long knelt in front of Ke Ruan. “Have Your Highness been injured?”

Ke Ruan nodded. “General Long. I am fine. I hope that you can inform my father of it. There is still one day, and I am really worried.”

“Your Highness, please rest reassured. I will send someone to report to the Emperor at once.”

Ke Ruan said, “Thank you.”

After the incident, the team needed to be regrouped.

Ke Ruan watched Lin Qingye’s subordinates carry away the people lying on the ground.

“General Lin, are those people alright?”

Not getting a response from Lin Qingye, Ke Ruan suddenly had an ominous premonition. He turned to look at him, “What’s wrong?”

Lin Qingye pursed his lips without saying a word.

“You can’t be so naive!” Qi Cheng sneered.

“What do you mean?”

“Shut up,” Qi Cheng wanted to go on taunting him, but Lin Qingye stopped him harshly.

Qi Cheng gritted his teeth and shut up unwillingly, turning away from them.

“Your Highness, forgive me, I have deceived the emperor and deserved to die ten thousand deaths,” Lin Qingye knelt down.

“You… General Lin, what are you doing? Get up and let’s talk.” Ke Ruan tried to pull him up.

Lin Qingye didn’t move.

“He sacrificed for the Red Flame Country. It is their honor to die for Your Highness,” Lin Qingye articulated every word clearly.

However, Ke Ruan felt his mind in complete shambles, and he failed to hear it clearly.
