Chapter 40 The Not-So-Smart Female Assassin

"There is indeed a problem."

Xu Lan nodded in agreement.

If you are not familiar with someone, and you invite them together for no reason and in the name of admiration, it is hard not to make people suspicious.

What is there to admire about this guy?

It can't be that the oiran really has a crush on him, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Lan glanced at Lin Jiangnian. Apart from his good looks, this guy had an almost bad reputation. Is there any girl in Linjiang City who could like him?

If the oiran recognized Prince Lin, his admiration for him would be nonsense. If he didn't recognize him, it would be even more problematic.

"Since you know she has a problem, do you still agree to her?"

"It's precisely because she has a problem that you go."

Xu Lan narrowed her eyes: "Don't you want to go and see what tricks she is playing?"

"In no mood."

Lin Jiangnian did not intend to cause trouble.

Xu Lan sighed and shook her head: "I'm afraid you really have to go see this oiran."

"Why?"

Xu Lan turned her head and glanced at a room somewhere in the brothel from outside the attic, raising her eyebrows.

Lin Jiangnian followed her line of sight and saw several familiar figures passing by outside the attic corridor opposite. Lin Jiangnian's eyes narrowed.

"Whether it's Prince Lin's Mansion or Linjiang City, Paper Kite's eyeliners are everywhere... This is why I brought you here."

Xu Lan said playfully: "From the moment you stepped out of Prince Lin's Mansion, there were countless masters from Prince Lin's Mansion secretly protecting you. Of course, everything you did in Linjiang City would also be spread to her ears. What happened just now

Invited by a courtesan, it is natural that she cannot escape her attention..."

"Do you think that Prince Lin, who can spend thousands of taels of silver to win the oiran's smile, and wander among thousands of flowers all day long, will refuse when he is invited by an oiran?"

"It would be strange if you didn't go and see me."

Lin Jiangnian frowned, "Do I have to go see you?"

"That's not true."

Xu Lan held her chin up: "You can also find other reasons. For example, Su Lu is ugly and unsightly, and your Royal Highness, Prince Lin, doesn't like her. Or you have a crush on girls from other brothels...

"

"Of course there are excuses, but it's best if you go and meet..."

Xu Lan's eyes were bright and full of expectation: "I really want to know, what is she looking for you for?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "What if she is my assassin?"

"Isn't that better?"

As if she thought of something, Xu Lan's eyes lit up slightly, as if an exciting idea flashed through her eyes, and she lowered her voice.

"Don't you want to practice martial arts?"

"I think this is a good opportunity!"

"..."

Yingfeng Court, third floor.

Lin Jiangnian stood at the door, hesitated, then opened the door and entered.

As soon as I walked into the room, I smelled a strong scent of rouge, mixed with a light fragrance.

The furnishings in the room are quite elegant, and there is no luxuriant and luxurious scene as expected, filled with all kinds of entertainment props.

On the contrary, elegant and interesting things such as musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and paintings were placed nearby, making the room seem much more elegant.

...In this era, brothels can only rely on toys to boost their entertainment?

As expected of an oiran, she is really different from those rouge and vulgar fans.

Just as Lin Jiangnian was sighing, a soft voice came from behind the screen not far away.

"Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?"

Lin Jiangnian's eyes flashed with a strange look, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Miss Su?"

The other party really knows him?!

"Your Highness, please sit down."

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the table next to him and saw a table of delicious, delicious and delicious food.

Hongmen Banquet, right?

Lin Jiangnian's expression remained unchanged as he came to the table and sat down.

At this moment, a figure appeared behind the screen. He walked out slowly with light steps.

Wearing gorgeous clothes of light red brocade, a face covered with gauze reveals only a pair of bright and slightly deep eyes.

Very delicate.

She is worthy of being an oiran. Although she has not fully appeared, it is enough to tell that she has a good appearance and temperament.

"Your Highness?"

The woman quietly approached, came to Lin Jiangnian, and bowed gracefully. Her movements were dignified, but she seemed a little unfamiliar.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at it, and then a harmless smile appeared on his face: "Miss Su, there is no need to be polite, sit down!"

As soon as the woman in front of him sat down, Lin Jiangnian spoke again: "Miss Su, do you know this prince?"

She nodded slightly, lowered her eyes slightly, and said with a hint of shyness like a girl: "Who in Linjiang City doesn't know His Highness? I admire Your Highness as a person, and when I learned that His Highness was here today, I took the liberty to invite His Highness to come over, if

Please forgive me for disturbing you, Your Highness."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I don't hold grudges!"

Lin Jiangnian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and glanced at the oiran in front of him.

Poor acting!

Sure enough there is a problem.

Admire him as a person?

How could she say such nonsense?

"So, do you admire and admire my prince? Do you have love for my prince?"

Lin Jiangnian squinted his eyes, meaning something profound.

"Indeed, I... admire Your Highness very much."

"How do you appreciate it?"

The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, silent for a moment, and then whispered: "I heard about your highness in the tea house a few days ago. Your highness was so angry to defend the late Princess Lin. It was really filial... There are rumors about your highness in Linjiang City.

Although there are many, I believe that His Highness is not a bad person..."

Listening to the other party's talk, Lin Jiangnian would have almost believed it if he hadn't realized something was wrong with him earlier.

After she finished her praise, Lin Jiangyoun sighed.

"Your Highness, why are you sighing?"

"Isn't it embarrassing for you to praise me so unconscionably?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he could clearly see the other party's expression changing slightly.

"Your Highness... why did you say this?"

"Because your acting is terrible!"

Lin Jiangnian shook his head: "What do you mean by your praise? That I am not a bad person? You don't feel guilty when you say this. I can't stand listening to it anymore..."

"Who in Linjiang City doesn't know that this prince bullies men and dominates women, and does all kinds of bad things?"

"It doesn't matter if you praise something else, saying that you covet my prince's appearance and want to warm his bed... maybe, my prince will actually believe it?"

silence.

The other party was obviously silenced by Lin Jiangnian's words.

It seems that he did not expect that Prince Lin would be so straightforward?

After a moment, she slowly raised her head and stared at Lin Jiangnian.

At this moment, her eyes changed.

If his eyes were tender and tender just now, at this moment, they revealed a deep chill.

"Since you have discovered it, then..."
