Fortunately, it was night time now, so Hua Xin couldn't tell even if she blushed.

"If their operation fails, they will probably come again. You and Feixue should be more cautious. If they attack again, kill them anyway."

"Yes, Miss."

Qingfeng erased the last trace on the ground, and then he and Hua Xin returned to the inn together.

When Ye Lansheng and Nangong Ziqiu returned to the inn, they happened to meet Hua Xin and Qingfeng.

The four of them looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.

Finally, it was Qingfeng who came to his senses first and reported respectfully: "Master, Song Guanli's men have already taken action. They want the young lady to leave with them."

Ye Lansheng, who was standing by, became furious when he heard this.

He clenched his fists tightly and questioned angrily, "How can this be! How dare Song Guanli be so arrogant and domineering, relying on his status as the crown prince of Zhongzhou to do whatever he wants! This is simply no different from robbing a woman in broad daylight!"

Ye Lansheng was extremely anxious. He quickly pulled Hua Xin over to look at her carefully, and asked her with concern whether she was okay.

"I'm sorry, Xinxin, I shouldn't have kept you in the inn."

"Hua Xin shook her head gently, indicating that it was nothing serious, and comforted her: "This is not your fault, don't blame yourself too much. Besides, we are all living in the inn now, where else can we go if not the inn? And I am fine, right?"

Even so, Ye Lansheng was still sad: "I should have let Tianxing stay. At least you are more familiar with the four of them."

"The Eighteen Azure Dragon Guards are all very skilled. Tiansha and Tianxing are going to pick up Tianyang and Tianyue. This is a matter of saving lives, so they should go. I am also looking forward to seeing Baishu and the others again! As for the rest, you can introduce them to me! However, Ziqiu asked Qingfeng and the others to protect me secretly, so there are enough people."

Hua Xin sincerely tried to comfort him: "If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you introduce two more people to me?"

On the other side, Nangong Ziqiu calmly asked Qingfeng: "How many people did the other side have? Are there any survivors?"

Qingfeng's mind instantly flashed back to the scene of Hua Xin's attack, and he quickly replied, "The eldest lady personally took action and killed the victim with one sword. Her movements were clean and neat, and she didn't leave anyone alive."

Nangong Ziqiu wanted to say that it was great, but when he thought about Hua Xin who was also there and it was she who did it, he asked one more question: "Was Xin Xin there the whole time?"

"They are all here. I even used corpse powder to completely destroy all traces. The young lady seems to be very interested."

Listening to Qingfeng's narration, Nangong Ziqiu looked at Hua Xin who was talking to Ye Lansheng, and had only one thought in his mind: he must not mess with her.

If she was really angry, she had the ability to make it impossible for them to find her.

Nangong Ziqiu firmly believed this.

"Xinxin, it's already very late. You should go back and rest early!" Nangong Ziqiu walked over and reminded Hua Xin softly.

Hua Xin finally came back to her senses, looked at him in confusion, and asked, "By the way, why are you two back from outside? What did you do when you went out?"

Ye Lansheng and Nangong Ziqiu smiled at each other as if they knew each other by heart, and replied in unison: "It just so happens that the night is so charming, so we thought of walking around and checking the surrounding situation. Who would have thought that we would miss such a wonderful show!"

Seeing this, Hua Xin didn't ask any more questions.

Just by looking at their disheveled clothes and several sword marks on them, you can tell without any guessing that they must have run out to fight!

However, Hua Xin felt that there was no need to stop this healthy competition. As long as they didn't make a big fuss and didn't go too far, everything could be negotiated.

I was quite surprised that these two people could actually fight? They even hid it from me. Was it because they were afraid that I would be angry or worried?

Forget it, as long as I come back safe and sound, everything will be fine.

Hua Xin couldn't help but yawn loudly, then rubbed her eyes and said, "I will sleep in the Qingyan Room tonight, you guys can do whatever you want."

Before she finished her words, she waved to Qingfeng, signaling him to follow her, and then went upstairs without looking back.

"Second brother, let's go too!" Ye Lansheng looked at Hua Xin's departing back, turned to Nangong Ziqiu and said.

Nangong Ziqiu smiled slightly, with a look of relief on his face: "Haha, you called me 'Second Brother' really sincerely just now! Let's go, Third Brother!" After saying that, the two walked side by side and went upstairs together.

At the foot of Yaowang Valley.

Song Guanli held a handkerchief in his hand, covering his nose from time to time, looking at the dark area in front of him, and asked casually: "Have you counted everything? Are all the bodies here?"

Mingyao had a booklet in his hand, which contained a list of all the people in Yaowang Valley.

"Your Highness, there are a few people missing."

Song Guanli's eyes flashed with surprise: "It looks like we can't find out who is missing."

"Your Highness, it's Baizhu, Baishen, Baiguo and Baizhi who are beside His Highness the Seventh Prince, as well as Chang Taiqi and Qianyue, and a person named Acorus."

"Oh?"

Song Guanli narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Are the people around His Highness the ones I saw burning paper money before?"

"Yes, Your Highness, and I am sure that the act has been carried out, but their bodies are missing."

"It's okay. The mountain is so big, it's normal that you can't find them all. As for the other three... they are probably not important people. Send some more people to guard the mountain. If there is no movement within a year, you can all withdraw!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Song Guanli looked into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he said, "Count the troops. Except for those who stay to guard the mountain, the rest should go back together!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After everyone left, Song Guanli began to think about the person in his mind, recalling every bit, trying to find some clues.

Just a glimpse of her made him unable to forget her. Could such a beauty be from Zhongzhou?

There has been no news from the six people sent out to follow the suspect. Were they lost or silenced?

Song Guanli suddenly felt that he had done something wrong. He should have followed him at that time, and followed him in person!

"Somebody come!"

"Your Highness!"

Minghui walked in and saw Song Guanli looking unhappy, and was immediately confused.

"Contact the people who were following that team. I want to know the whereabouts of that woman! Even if I have to cross the entire Zhongzhou, I will find her!"

Minghui quickly agreed and retreated.

As luck would have it, when Minghui was about to contact someone, Mingyao came over.

"Brother, Ji Gang has news!"

Minghui raised his eyebrows, hey, what a coincidence!

"Give it to me quickly. His Highness asked me to contact them."

The two brothers read the news excitedly and were both stunned.
