Zhang Han dodged every attack, two against one, Lan Huan's martial ability was extremely strong plus the masked man overwhelmed Zhang Han.
Slowly Laun Zhang Han realized that his original target was not himself, once he realized it, Lan Huan had already moved to attack Jiang.
" Lan Huan's.... NO.." belatedly, Jiang was unable to avoid the knife stab in his chest due to Lan Huan's shock attack, Zhang Han was so shocked that he let his guard down and got an attack from the masked man.
Zhang Han retreated, he wanted to save Jiang but the masked man immediately confronted Zhang Han, Wei Chan was not far from there surprised as well.
" Traitor.." cried Wei Chan angrily, he wanted to attack Lan Huan but he was immediately confronted by Zhang Luhan.
" You're my opponent, there's no need to interfere in their fight." Zhang Luhan smiled cunningly, he then charged back at Wei Chan.
" Hahaha.." the masked man laughed loudly at Zhang Han looking at Jiang who was already drenched in blood, he was already unconscious. Lu Xiang who saw Jiang was startled, he immediately ran up to Jiang but Lan Huan immediately kicked him to the point of being thrown away, Lu Xiang was already helpless.
" Why are you doing this, LAN HUAN...?" Zhang Han looked at him in disbelief.
" I had to do it, your majesty, I'm sorry."
" Forced....? you killed Jiang Huan..."
" He is a traitor of the state, how can I possibly be blamed for this noble one."
" LAN HUAN.." cried Zhang Han angrily, his eyes red looking at Lan Huan.
" I won't forgive you..." Zhang Han then ran to attack the masked man with his sword, as soon as there was a gap he attacked Lan Huan, until a two-on-one fight broke out.
Zhang Han repulsed the masked man, Ruyue was too fixated on what had happened, she did not know what to do.
" What are you thinking? help me." cried the masked man, Ruyue looked, she did not know, she was like standing on the cliff between two ravines.one was her own brother's stronghold and one was her lover's stronghold.
If he helped the masked man and confronted his brother then he would not be able to forgive himself, however much he loved his brother who was the only family left behind, but if he helped Zhang Han then he would be said to be a traitor and he would be separated back from Zhang Luhan and he would not be able to bear all of that, he had already come this far.
" What should I do?" inner Ruyue.he was still watching their fight, Zhang Han was hit by the two-edged sword scratches of the masked man on his arm, Ruyue was surprised to see her brother was injured.
" Sister.." shouted Ruyue reflexively saying it made her already unravel her identity, Lan Huan looked at Ruyue followed by Wei Chan who heard that shout.
" Daughter..." Lan Huan looked at Ruyue, he only glimpsed and fought back against Zhang Han, Seeing Zhang Han being at such an disadvantage made him even more confused.
" Lord I'm sorry, I have to help my brother." he muttered, he then entered the fight and blocked the attack of the masked man who almost hit Zhang Han.
" I can't believe you betrayed either." the masked man looked angrily at Ruyue.
" Ruyue, what are you doing?" Zhang Luhan shouted loudly at him, Ruyue only looked at Zhang Luhan, then she was on standby to welcome the masked man's attack.
" I won't have any more mercy." The double-edged sword flashed and then it ran to attack Ruyue, while Lan Huan attacked Zhang Han.as everyone was busy Lu Xiang approached Jiang with the rest of his strength, he helped Jiang get away from the fight.
Lu Xiang then checked Jiang's pulse and breath whether he was alive or not, as he checked, he was surprised, he then looked fixedly at Jiang Huan's face.
" No way, you..." Lu Xiang did not continue his words as his hand was suddenly restrained.
Ruyue was thrown away by spewing out a mouthful of blood, Zhang Han immediately helped Ruyue.
" Are you okay?" Zhang Han was very worried about Ruyue's state.
" I'm fine."
" Ckckc, what a pity these two brothers have." this masked man laughed. Zhang Han then stood up then looked at the masked man.
" What exactly is your purpose?"
" What debt do I have to pay you?"
" The debt of blood must be paid with life, teeth must be paid with teeth, and blood must be paid with blood." The masked man's eyes were red withstanding past pain.
" OZHAO AN...." Zhang Han looked fixedly at the masked man, when the name was mentioned he laughed loudly until his tears came out.
he then took off the mask revealing his real face, the mask he threw away just about anywhere.he laughed loudly like a madman making everyone surprised.
" Your Majesty, Zhao An saluted.oh no.. not Zhao An, rather Zhao Xinchen." he bowed respectfully with a smile.
" Zhao Xinchen? " Lan Huan tried to remember the person's name.
" In the event of the murder, the real one killed was Zhao An, because back then Zhao An who was in the residence while in the palace was Zhao Xinchen whose life was pardoned by the noble due to the crown princess's request, the two of them exchanged places." Suddenly a voice appeared behind Zhoa An.
Zhao An turned around as he felt that he recognized the voice.
" Xuelan.." Zhao An was surprised to see Xuelan coming, he was surprised to see the girl standing behind Xuelan was none other than Yanli.
" Mao An..." Calling Xuelan softly, Zhao An stood looking at Xuelan.
" Why are you doing this? you used my kindness to help those who had wiped out my entire family." Zhao An's eyes glazed over Xuelan.
in this world the only person he valued the most was Xuelan whom he had considered like his sister. Xuelan already knew about Zhao An's traitor so before ZHAO An left for her wedding, Xuelan had already asked and Zhao An for being very affectionate towards Xuelan he told her everything about the plan and he asked Xuelan not to interfere.
" I'm helping you to reduce your sin, I don't want you to be like this, which destroys everything and even sacrifices many innocent people." Xuelan stepped closer to Zhao An.
" Stop there. From now on you're not my sister anymore, I don't care about your life, so leave this place immediately if you want to survive." Zhao An turned his back to Xuelan facing Zhang Han.
Xuelan was silent looking at Zhao An's back, she also loved Zhao An dearly as an older brother and she wanted to stop all of Zhao An's ambitions.
" Zhao An, I'm sorry." Zhao An was still speechless hearing Xuelan's words.
" Zhao Xinchen..." A voice again surprised Zhao An.
" Jiang.." his eyes widened to look at Jiang, he only understood that everything that happened was a trap. he laughed loudly, like a madman, he looked at everyone who surrounded him.
" You're playing a charade here, you're pretending to think I'm Brother, it turns out you're just using my kindness, I'm too trusting, so stupid..." He pointed at Xuelan, he laughed like a madman but he let out tears from the corner of his eyes. Xuelan's eyes glazed over at Zhao An.
" Don't you also do the same to me and Jiang, many times I give you the chance to change" Zhang Han said.
" It turns out that all this you did together with Jiang, you fooled everyone just to wait for an opportunity like this, since when did you realize it?" Zhao An just remembered something, he laughed again.
" Ah haha haha. Even after death he still foiled my plan which I had well hidden.... Dao."
" Her Majesty Zhang Han, forgive him, let me take him away to Northern Yan, I promise that he will never set foot in this Qing kingdom, spare his life." Xuelan took off both of her hands begging Zhang Han. Zhao An looked at Xuelan angrily.
" You want to lock me up? you think who you are, you're nobody and I hate people who pretend to be like you. Until I die I still hate you just as much as I hate Zhang Han." he cried out in anger.
" Get ahead all of you, today I will avenge myself many years ago so that I still have a face to face my ancestors." he prepared, Jiang stepped forward.
" Do you know what your grandfather told me before the sentencing? if he knows what you're doing right now I think he's just gonna be suspended, he's gonna get up to hang your back." Zhao An looked at Jiang in disbelief.
" What?" he was surprised to hear Jiang's words.
" Do you know why Zhao An is not the one who lives but Zhao Xinchen when he knows that the one in the Zhao family residence is Zhao An, the one that your entire family is proud of whereas his twin brother Zhao Xinchen is the kid who always gets beaten on his back for being naughty." the air felt tight, how did Jiang find out about it.
