Chapter 690: Is our great cause more important, or is this woman more important?
Shu He knew that revealing other people's privacy and using it as a threat was very immoral.
But Shen Chuan caused trouble in Tianqi again and again, and intervened in the internal strife of Tianqi, causing the deaths of so many soldiers and civilians in Tianqi. She could not turn a blind eye to this account!
Compared with the safety of the country and the well-being of the people, she can do without morality!
"You said I wanted to kill you?!" He was surprised at first, then found it ridiculous. "Haha, in your heart, am I really so heartless and without any bottom line?"
No matter who he kills, he won't kill her! He is absolutely sure of this!
"Since I promised you that I would not do anything in Apocalypse, I will definitely do it!"
"But what about you? Do you have even a little bit of trust in me?"
His voice, filled with hurt, made Shu He's heart stagnate slightly, and she felt an uncontrollable suffocation. Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she could hear a hint of pain and loneliness in his voice.
Every time he saw her, the smile on his face was warm and sunny, with a touch of casualness. At that time, his eyes were bright and clear, like a simple boy who had just entered the world.
But Shu He knew clearly that he was not just a sunny boy.
It was precisely because his appearance and his inner truth were so far apart that every time she saw him, she would be subconsciously on guard and dare not give him too much true love.
But she couldn't deny that Shen Chuan had been quite nice to her in the past six months. At least he didn't scheme against her so much, and he even tolerated her little calculations against him.
Could it be that she really misunderstood him? Wasn't he the one who did those things?
"You won't kill her, but what about the other one?"
Baili Moqing was very unhappy with the disappointment in Shen Chuan's eyes towards Shu He. He snorted coldly, "Don't act like we're framing you. Why don't you ask Shen Lanzhi behind you if he sent anyone to assassinate Shu He?"
These words made Shu He and Shen Chuan's eyes change at the same time, and they looked at Shen Lanzhi, whose face looked slightly pale.
The scars on his face had been there for so long that even Shu He couldn't completely erase them. But the medication he'd been using for six months had shown a noticeable effect. At least, his face was no longer deformed or as hideous.
Seeing everyone's gaze, his expression remained calm and composed, without a trace of emotion. It was only when Shen Chuan's suspicious gaze came over him that a hint of panic flashed across his face.
He avoided Shen Chuan's gaze and sneered, "Prince Li, you are slandering me here without any evidence. This is not your style, is it?"
Even though she was seriously injured, Shen Lanzhi remained calm when facing the scrutiny of Baili Moqing and the crowd.
In a sense, Shu He felt that this person was more like the "Shen Chuan", the Prince of Liu, who was said to be fickle, cruel and bloodthirsty in the Beidi legend!
"Evidence?" Baili Moqing had a half-smile on his face. "This king doesn't actually need any evidence. Anyone who dares to kill my wife and daughter, as long as there is even the slightest suspicion, I would rather kill the innocent than let them go!"
This statement tells Shen Lanzhi very directly that as long as he thinks you are the murderer, you are!
"However, although I don't need evidence, I think Marshal Shen should need it, right?"
After saying that, he looked at Shen Chuan, took out a token from his pocket and threw it to him, "Marshal Shen should recognize this token, right?"
That is the inner gate token of the Three Killings Sect, which only senior members of the Three Killings Sect have.
"I have left several of the assassins who went to the General's Mansion last night alive."
"According to their confessions, these people are from the Northwest Three Killing Sect. And they were ordered to come to Tianqi this time, not because of a bounty on their head, but because of an order from an important figure above."
"Shen Chuan, the Third Master of the Three Killing Sect, Zhou Ying, who belongs to him? I don't need to tell you who he is, right?"
Zhou Ying was someone Shen Chuan had assigned to the Three Killings Sect. If the Three Killings Sect's assassination of Shu He wasn't ordered by Shen Chuan, who else could have ordered Zhou Ying, besides Shen Lanzhi?
Shen Yao is just an idle prince without real power. He can't command Zhou Ying!
The most important thing was that Shen Yao's methods and the people he used in the second assassination were completely different from the first. Those people were just a few assassins he had selected from the Beidi Royal Guards.
However, Baili Moqing did not expect that he would think of taking advantage of Shu He's kindness and using poison at the same time.
It was precisely because Shen Yao knew Shu He's weakness that Baili Moqing could no longer keep him. Who knew if he would try to assassinate him again?
"Is that you?"
Shen Chuan came back to her senses and stared at Shen Lanzhi, with some suspicion in her eyes, but more of disappointment.
Subconsciously, he had already believed Baili Moqing's words.
Shen Lanzhi looked at him, and every time they looked at each other, he felt a little blocked and his heart felt a little weak.
He avoided his sight again and again, which made Shen Chuan more certain of Baili Moqing's words.
A trace of disappointment crossed his face. "So, you said that Beidi was in turmoil and the court was unstable, and you asked me to return to Beidi just to get rid of me and attack her?"
He clearly knew how important Shu He was to him, so why did he still do this?
He clearly told him not to touch Shu He, but why didn't he listen at all?
"She saved you! Have you forgotten?"
"It was she who pulled you from the dark world into the sunlight! Don't you remember?"
"Why?!" He didn't understand why he would attack his savior?
Shen Chuan could hardly control his emotions. He could accept betrayal from anyone, but not from Shen Lanzhi!
They are one person, one life, and they are inseparable! Doesn't he know how much harm this will cause him?
Shen Chuan's repeated questioning made Shen Lanzhi's face turn cold. She lowered her voice and growled, "Because of you!"
His eyes were filled with pain and unwillingness, "Because your heart has been disturbed by this woman!"
"I have prepared the Mingguo Temple plan perfectly. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, Baili Moqing would have been blown to pieces by us!"
"For this woman, you disregarded the safety of your own country and even went to rescue our Beidi's most powerful enemy!"
"Brother, in your heart, which is more important, our grand plan or this woman?"
Shen Lanzhi's face was full of pain. She was obviously very sad and angry about Shen Chuan's change.
Shen Chuan looked at him, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
He couldn't deny that he saved Baili Moqing that time because he was afraid that Shu He would hate him after knowing the truth.
But he never forgot the promise and goal between them!
To achieve a great cause, you don't have to use this method to kill Baili Moqing!
If possible, he would rather defeat him fairly on the battlefield!
That way, the woman wouldn't have any complaints against him.
