How can I bow my head and serve the powerful officials?

Chapter 246 It is not advisable to stay here for long, leave quickly to avoid disaster!

Without time to think, Xie Chengze decided to run away first.

The fight between Wuhen Wuzhi and Sheng Shihuai was earth-shaking and rocks were flying everywhere. As a weak man who didn't know martial arts, it was better for him not to seek death and to get away from the battle scene as soon as possible.

"Go help Wuhen Wuji, I'm leaving first!"

Without Shen Yuan saying anything, Xie Chengze had already lifted up his robe and ran away.

It is not advisable to stay here for long, leave quickly to avoid disaster!

Seeing this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but laugh, then the smile on his face slowly faded, he flew up and pulled out the green sword that he had just shot out and stabbed into the ground, swung the sword, and the sharp sound of the wind turned into a sharp silver light, and went towards Sheng Shihuai's back.

"Death!"

"Oh! I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands today!" Sheng Shihuai held the knife in one hand, covered his chest with blood and sneered. His face was slightly pale, and his handsome and proud face looked at Shen Yuan and Wuhen Wuzhi with sinister eyes, "But do you really think that you three alone can defeat me?"

Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "You are already injured, even if we have to outlast you, we can still outlast you."

This is why Shen Yuan did not choose to assassinate Sheng Shihuai as soon as he was reborn. Sheng Shihuai is an extremely cautious person, and his martial arts skills are far superior to those of them who have just joined the party. Confronting him head-on will only end in losses for both sides.

The only way to take him down is to design a sneak attack and injure him first.

"Oh, that depends on whether you have the chance to wear me out." Sheng Shihuai spat out a mouthful of blood, and a strange smile flashed across his eyes again, "Unfortunately, you all have weaknesses, and those with weaknesses are destined to accomplish nothing."

Shen Yuan had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his narrowed eyes tightened again, "What did you do?"

"Has Lord Shen not guessed it yet?" Sheng Shihuai laughed loudly towards the sky, the blood between his lips making his face look even more eerie and ghostly. He raised his hand and blew a shrill whistle at his lips, and soon, several men in black came over with two people.

When he saw that person, Shen Yuan's expression instantly turned cold.

"Yuan'er!"

When Mr. and Mrs. Shen saw Shen Yuan, they immediately shouted.

"The Second Prince foresaw this coup and sent his people out of the capital with excuses. Your Shen family is no exception, right? But unfortunately, if all of your Shen family members left the city, with my personality, I would not rashly launch a coup."

"It seems that in order to prevent me from getting suspicious, Mr. Shen deliberately stayed in the capital, giving me an opportunity to take advantage of it..." Sheng Shihuai walked to Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen and put the knife on Mr. Shen's neck, "Perhaps, I should thank Mr. Shen?"

Shen Zhenpei, a refined scholar, spat viciously at this moment, "Do you think Yuan'er will release you, a traitor, to save us?"

He shouted at the top of his voice, "Shen Yuan, don't worry about me! I am willing to die for Jian'an!"

After saying that, he headed towards the blade!

However, the next moment, he was fixed in place, unable to move.

Sheng Shihuai retracted his hand from the acupuncture point and said slowly, "Do you really think I'm not on guard? You foolishly loyal people just like to sacrifice yourself, it's boring."

Shen Zhenpei: ...

I'm going to fight with you guys who know acupoint pressing!

"What do you want?" Shen Yuan stopped Wuhen Wuzhi who was about to rush over, staring at Sheng Shihuai with cold eyes, "Leave Beijing safely?"

Although Sheng Shihuai had stopped the bleeding by acupuncture, his heart was injured after all. Even if he could hold out for a while, he could only hold out until he left Beijing. Staying to fight for the throne was obviously not what he needed at the moment.

However, Sheng Shihuai laughed inexplicably, his eyes fell on Shen Yuan, a malicious and playful smile leaked out from his eyes, "I want you to exchange your life for mine."

He placed the knife across Father Shen's neck and said word by word, "Shen Yuan, I'll cut your heart as well!"

Wuhen and Wuzhi, who were originally ready to make a move and didn't care about Shen's father's life at all and just wanted to kill Sheng Shihuai, suddenly became quiet. They both stepped back and left the place to Shen Yuan.

"Yuan'er, you can't do that!" Shen Zhenpei shouted anxiously, and the next second, Sheng Shihuai pressed his mute point again.

Shen Zhenpei: ...

I say it again, I hate people who know how to press acupoints!

"If you hesitate for a second, the knife will go deeper." Sheng Shihuai put the knife against Shen's father's neck and pressed deeper, and soon blood marks appeared.

Shen Zhenpei was so anxious that he signaled with his eyes.

Shen Yuan clenched the green sword in his hand, his face became increasingly gloomy, and the anger in his heart continued to surge and be suppressed.

In his new life, he has tried his best to stay away from those friends and relatives who were on good terms with him in his previous life. They all died in his previous life because they helped him, and their tragic deaths were deeply imprinted in his mind. Every time he woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, his quilt would be soaked with sweat.

In this life, they are still alive, so he can certainly find them again and let them continue to assist him, but Shen Yuan is unwilling to do so.

Some of them died because of his negligence, some died because of protecting him, and some even lost their entire family to saving him. How could he lead them into the fire pit again?

He doesn't want anyone to die, he wants everyone to live.

He alone can lead the charge.

"What, you don't dare anymore?" Sheng Shihuai looked at him with a half-smile, and stabbed the blade into Father Shen's neck again, "Then this knife will drink enough blood today!"

"Don't touch my husband!" Shen's mother took out a knife from somewhere and was about to stab Sheng Shihuai.

But he was kicked away by the quick-eyed and quick-handed man in black. Sheng Shihuai glanced at him lazily and then looked away, "Don't worry, it will be your turn soon."

"Sir Shen, my patience is limited."

With his eyes trembling slightly, Shen Yuan raised the green sword and stabbed it into his heart without hesitation. A mouthful of blood splashed from his lips. He stared at Sheng Shihuai, "What else?"

"Don't stop the bleeding." Sheng Shihuai said with a cold-blooded smile, "Stab the abdomen too."

Shen Yuan looked at him coldly. Seeing that the knife was approaching Shen's father's neck again, he raised the green sword, closed his eyes and stabbed it into his abdomen.

"Swish——" The green sword pierced into his intestines. Shen Yuan's body shook, his face became paler, and the blood almost stained his white clothes. He looked like a withered plum blossom drifting in the winter snow, and he stumbled to the ground.

“Yuan’er!” Mother Shen cried and was heartbroken. She shouted angrily at Sheng Shihuai, “You bastard, come at us if you dare!”

"Mother..." Shen Yuan breathed in slowly, raised his eyes and said soothingly, "My child, it's okay."

The knife that Wu Ji had stabbed at Sheng Shihuai before must have pierced deep into his heart. If he had delayed a little longer, Sheng Shihuai's wound would not have been healed and he would have died without a doubt.

After getting rid of Sheng Shihuai, the remaining people will not be a threat. With Xie Chengze around and the Queen's assistance, Jian'an will not repeat the same mistakes.

He was already dead, he just died again...

Just when he was half conscious, a beautiful and cunning face flashed before his eyes. He was furious and yelled at him, scolding him for leaving him here alone.
