Cang Lan Dao - Chapter 41.6

Chapter 41.6 
She’s Luo Wanqing 
 
She didn’t know what was happening with these two, so she hesitatedly asked, “Not saving this Agent?” 
  
“No.” Xie Heng spoke calmly. 
  
Bai Li was puzzled; this was different from Xie Heng’s style of handling things. Xie Heng never gave up on any of the people from the Inspection Department. 
  
Xie Heng ignored Bai Li, only lighting the flare and throwing it into the air, faintly saying, “Later on, Zhu Que will come over and have someone take you back. I will blockade Fang Fei Pavilion’s people and wait for the Imperial Household to come. We’ll never let Li Guiyu run away. Our people can’t get involved. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain.” 
 
Bai Li listened, thinking of the girl who had just desperately come to her death. It was hard for her to feel at ease. But she had little power and could only listen to Xie Heng’s decision. She hesitantly said, “If there is a chance of saving ……” 
  
If there was a chance of saving —
  
Xie Heng raised his eyes and, for a moment, surprisingly, did not know whether to save or not. He had given many chances, and she had lied to him time and time again. Even if she came to his rescue just now, how much value was there in rescuing him after putting him in danger? 
  
“Let’s fate decide it.” Xie Heng’s voice floated in the night, “She has done many evil deeds, and she deserves to die today.” 
  
Xie Heng waited at the center of the lake. Not a moment later, the people from the Inspection Department came. Zhu Que hurriedly rushed to Xie Heng’s side and busily said, “Young Master? I don’t know why Fengxun Incense led us to chase –” 
 
“Surround Fang Fei Pavilion.” Xie Heng didn’t give Zhu Que a chance to speak. Further, he coldly said, “Don’t let Li Guiyu escape.” 

As they spoke, everyone saw Luo Wanqing holding Li Shangwen as someone violently kicked her out of the tall building. She held on to the eaves and used the force to shed momentum, hitting the ground. Without hesitation, she raised her hand and blocked the blades in front of her with a sword, dragging the Crown Prince up to get behind her. When she stood up and gasped, she glanced and realized that the Feng Yu Pavilion’s people were getting smaller. The surroundings were bright with lights, and not far away were densely packed with small boats. 
  
Small boats? Luo Wanqing froze, and then she saw Xie Heng and Zhu Que standing at the boat’s bow. 
  
Zhu Que was carrying a knife and seemed a bit reluctant. Xie Heng had his hands folded in his sleeves, and his expression was indifferent. The killer next to her slashed, and Luo Wanqing dodged while protecting the Crown Prince. Then, she realized the reinforcements had arrived, but Xie Heng didn’t intend to save her. Why? 
  
Luo Wanqing looked up and saw Li Guiyu drawing his bow and arrow on the high floor, and then she understood. Xie Heng wanted to force Li Guiyu to kill the Crown Prince. He didn’t want to save the Crown Prince at all; he surrounded Fang Fei Pavilion and Li Guiyu couldn’t get out, so Li Guiyu’s only way out was to kill the Crown Prince here. If he killed the Crown Prince, he would become the Empress’ only son so that the Empress would protect him, and he would have a way out. Otherwise, assassinating the Crown Prince would be a capital offense.

Xie Heng set up a trap for Li Guiyu, forcing him to kill and informing the Imperial Household. As long as she dragged until the Imperial Household arrived so that the Imperial Household saw Li Guiyu kill the Crown Prince with their own eyes, the Empress’s two sons must die. 
  
Even if she couldn’t hold on, was dead by the side of the Crown Prince, and the Imperial Household didn’t arrive in time, Li Guiyu killed the Crown Prince, and the Empress lost the Crown Prince; this was a heavy blow to the Empress as well. Xie Heng’s target was the Empress; he didn’t care if one or two princes died or if she did. From the beginning, his asking her to protect the Crown Prince was in preparation for taking her as a sacrifice. When Li Guiyu fought back, it was simply not something that she alone and a crippled Feng Yu Pavilion could defend. He had no intention of letting her live. 
  
Luo Wanqing thought about it and was not surprised; she had lied to him repeatedly and had been able to deceive him until now, which was already very good. Qing Lu should have left with her family, and Xie Heng also took Zhang Jiuran’s mother’s parasites. If she could hold on until the Imperial Household came, Li Guiyu would also have to die. What more could she ask for? 
  
Luo Wanqing couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the thought. She snatched the knife that was hacking at her and crossed the other person’s neck, raised her hand, and shoved Li Shangwen into a corner as she bellowed, “Stay! I’ll protect you!” 
 
The moment the tone fell, the feathered arrow from the high floor flew, and Luo Wanqing raised her hand and slashed down with her sword! 
  
The arrow carried full internal force, and when Luo Wanqing slashed it, she shook to the point of bleeding. The surrounding people kept coming, and Luo Wanqing swung her sword one by one. Li Shangwen hid behind her, feeling the blood keep splashing on his body, trembling with fear. 
Luo Wanqing glanced up from the corner of her eye. 
  
High above the building, Li Guiyu nocked three arrows and calmly looked at her. Luo Wanqing tilted her head and smiled. She was going to do something. Although Xie Heng didn’t save her at this moment, and the Inspection Department abandoned her, the Inspection Department had Cui Guanlan. When Liu Xiniang came to this world, she met the first very good person. He was from the Inspection Department so that she would do something for the Inspection Department. 
  
“Liu Xiniang from the Inspection Department,” Luo Wanqing screamed fiercely. Li Guiyu raised her hand to release the arrows, and three feathered arrows sped toward Luo Wanqing.

Luo Wanqing turned the sword and fiercely chopped the three feathered arrows. A huge force rushed on Luo Wanqing, knocking her back violently. She stood with all her strength and screamed out of her lungs. “Ordered to protect His Highness the Crown Prince!” 
  
Hearing these words, Xie Heng suddenly looked up. With these words from her, the Inspection Department would be able to leave clean. Li Guiyu, on the high floor, looked at the woman the crowd had buried, surprised. A contrasting temperament, but at that moment, it was as if he saw the girl who stood before him in front of the bamboo house five years ago. Their figures overlapped, showing their beauty in their stubbornness and courage.
