840: Saving Pei Lang (5)

Saving Pei Lang (5)

However, today, seeing that Luo Xueyan and Prince Rui were chatting happily, Shen Xin, who knew his wife the best, knew that his wife was very satisfied with Prince Rui.0

If Prince Rui wanted to become the son-in-law of the Shen family, he had to go through all kinds of harsh tests.

Martial arts was one among them. He did not need to be peerless in martial arts, but he had to be able to protect Shen Miao. As a husband, if his wife was in danger, at least he could protect her.

This was what Shen Xin thought. Unexpectedly, this spar revealed much more than they expected.

The juniors could not see it, but he and Luo Xueyan could, especially Shen Xin. He could even see the moves the two of them used when they were confronting each other. Shen Xin had once seen someone use the throat lock move Prince Rui did with his dagger.

It was Xie Ding.

The Shen family and the Xie family did not get along for generations. The Shen family believed in commanding the army by rules, while the Xie family believed that in war, one had to be flexible and unpredictable. They had been competing for many generations. In Shen Xin's generation, it had become almost like a matter-of-fact thing. As for why the two families were at loggerheads with each other, no one actually knew.

The person who understood you the most was not your friend, but your enemy. From a young age, Shen Xin had been secretly competing with Xie Ding. The Shen family was good at using spears, while Xie Ding's mastery of dagger was envied by many people. Dagger was the most suitable weapon used to assassinate the enemy general. Just think about it, when you were fighting with the enemy general on the horse, if you could pull out a dagger suddenly and stab in the throat of the enemy. How terrifying was that?

With this move, Xie Ding won almost every battle.

Xie Ding did not pass this move on to anyone else. He only passed it on to his only legitimate son, Xie Jingxing, and never to his two illegitimate sons. When Xie Jingxing was in a confrontation with others when he was young, he also used this move. At that time, Shen Xin happened to see him doing it. He was surprised that Xie Jingxing could use this move so well at such a young age. Xie Jingxing even made improvements on this move to make it more ruthless.

Today, when Prince Rui confronted Shen Qiu, he used this move.

Or rather, Xie Jingxing used a move that had been modified by himself. The angle was exactly the same, but for some reason, it was slower than before. It was almost as if he was deliberately letting Shen Xin see it.

Shen Xin could not hide the shock on his face at that moment. Apart from remaining silent, he did not know what to do.

Xie Jingxing was already dead on the battlefield in the northern border two years ago. However, how could Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty use the throat-lock dagger move developed by Xie Jingxing in the exact same way?

Even if two people accidentally learned the same thing, there would still be some difference.

Therefore, a strange thought appeared in Shen Xin's mind. Could Prince Rui be Xie Jingxing?

But Xie Jingxing was already dead!

On the one hand, Shen Xin felt that this thought was unbelievable and laughable, but on the other hand, he could not help but think about it. He even felt that when Prince Rui was competing with Shen Qiu, Prince Rui was deliberately slowing down just so he could see it clearly.

Did Prince Rui want to tell him something?

Shen Xin was uncertain, and he could not tell anyone. He thought that it was better to investigate first.
