After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Chu Xi flew close to the remaining two people and kicked each of them. These people who had no martial arts foundation and relied solely on hacking were unable to escape from her hands.

"Qibai, watch your back."

It was as if she had eyes behind her back. As the Ninth Princess' voice rang out, she quickly jumped up to avoid the sneak attack from the Third In Command, then turned around and landed behind him.

He kicked the man without any hesitation, knocking him to the ground.

Seeing this, the Ninth Princess quickly hid to the side.

This time, the third in command did not kneel down, but prostrated himself on the ground with his whole body prostrated, looking extremely embarrassed.

Zhou Qingmin took advantage of the fact that the third in command was kicked and temporarily unable to get up, and quickly ran behind Chu Xi, gently pinching Chu Xi's sleeve with his fingers.

Chu Xi looked down, and due to the situation at the moment, he opened his mouth but still said nothing.

The four people next to him wanted to get up, but Chu Xi picked up a knife from the ground and pointed it at them.

"Whoever wants to fight me again, I'll fight him to the end!"

With just one word, the four people who had been about to move immediately lay down again.

I'm so scared, really scared.

Even the third in command is no match for him, so how dare these small fry continue?

Chu Xi quickly picked up some clothes from the ground and tied up the hands of several people, including the third in command.

Finally, a piece of clothing was used to tie the hands of the five people tightly together, and as for the knife... it was placed on the neck of the third in command. The meaning was self-evident.

If the third in command dares to move, she will kill him with one knife.

This action...the first time is new, the second time is familiar.

After doing it a few times, she had become so skilled that she was used to it.

The others searched room by room, and happened to find the room where Chu Xi and the others were. Both the Jinwu Guards and the Yunzhou City Guards brought by Chu Er were there. Chu Xi handed a few of them over to them, tied them up and kept them under guard.

"Give me the dagger." Chu Xi turned sideways towards Zhou Qingmin, who was still pinching his sleeve, and stretched out his hand.

Zhou Qingmin raised her hand. There was a little blood on her face, which made her bright and beautiful features even more beautiful. "Can't you give it to me?"

Chu Xi didn't know much about Zhou Qingmin. They had just officially met each other. Judging from her personality, she was a bit willful, but not bad. She was just a spoiled girl who had never suffered.

She slowly pulled her sleeve out of Zhou Qingmin's hand and said, "Princess, a dagger is not a toy. I can't give it to you. If you like it, you can go back to the palace and make it yourself."

Zhou Qingmin snorted and returned the dagger in his hand to Chu Xi, "Here you go."

Chu Xi thought about how this seemingly spoiled little princess, who couldn't afford to suffer any loss, had dealt with those bandits by herself before she arrived. She might have left the dagger behind because she was still frightened.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

She was once an orphan, always on the road working part-time jobs, with no family or friends.

I inevitably speak too directly and don’t know how to comfort people.

Thinking of the previous danger, Chu Xi spoke in a rare gentle voice.

"Princess, you did a great job this time. When facing an enemy, you should draw your sword to protect yourself. But you are a woman after all, a royal family. Carrying a dagger may hurt you."

Zhou Qingmin wasn't angry at first, she was just a little disappointed. She kept the dagger because... it was given to her by Chu Qibai.

Chu Qibai wanted to take the dagger back as soon as he came up, which was also a rejection of her.

She knew it in her heart, so she felt uncomfortable.

But Chu Qibai's subsequent explanation surprised her, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

"Really? You really think I did a good job?"

Tang Yuhuai, Rong Jinfeng and others were standing not far away, originally chatting about medicinal herbs and these bandits. As a result, from a distance, they saw the Ninth Princess and Chu Qibai facing each other, seemingly talking.

Out of curiosity, Tang Yuhuai quickly pricked up his ears to listen. It goes without saying that a martial artist has excellent hearing.

Although Rong Jinfeng is not as powerful as Tang Yuhuai, one can tell from the Ninth Princess's expression...the joy in her eyes when she looks at Chu Qibai.

Tang Yuhuai whispered to Rong Jinfeng, "I told you before that the Ninth Princess must have left the palace for Chu Qibai, but you still didn't believe it."

Rong Jinfeng: "..." It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that a gentleman doesn't talk about others behind their backs.

"The Ninth Princess is deeply in love with Chu Qibai. I guess His Majesty will issue an imperial decree to grant her marriage once her birthday is over when she returns to the capital this time."

Rong Jinfeng frowned slightly, "But I think Qi Bai doesn't seem to like Her Royal Highness the Princess."

There was no impatience in Chu Qibai's eyes when he looked at the Ninth Princess, but there was no joy or other emotional fluctuations either.

Tang Yuhuai subconsciously looked over because of Rong Jinfeng's words and took a closer look. "That's right."

Alas, it is a pity that royal marriage arrangements are never based on whether you are willing or not, or whether you like it or not.

Chu Xi wanted to say something to comfort her and make up for her mistake, but she didn't expect that these words seemed to cause her trouble again.

Under the intense gaze of the Ninth Princess, she could only nod, "Well, well done, Princess."

Zhou Qingmin smiled widely, and her fingers almost grabbed Chu Xi's sleeve again.

Chu Xi stepped aside first, pretending to look back and avoid Chu Er inadvertently.

"Chu Er, you're here. Is everything cleaned up over there?"

Chu Erhou was standing aside and was suddenly called.

He silently glanced at the Ninth Princess beside him and realized that the young master was deliberately changing the subject, but he did not expose it and continued along with Chu Xi's words, "Yes, young master, we should go back to the city. If His Royal Highness Prince Yan can't wait for us, he will be worried."

"You're right. After we count our things, let's go."

*

On the way back to the city, Zhou Qingmin rode the horse by himself. In order to avoid suspicion, Chu Xi deliberately slowed down his pace and looked at the last few kidnapped assassins and bandits.

All the money, medicinal materials and food brought in for disaster relief have been transported down, and Tang Yuhuai and Rong Jinfeng are following behind.

The two of them rode side by side, gossiping about the love-hate relationship between Princess Nine and Chu Xi. Unexpectedly, the protagonist deliberately slowed down his horse and came behind them.

Tang Yuhuai coughed twice and changed the subject, "There must be someone else behind these two groups of people, but I don't know who is behind it."

“We’ll know the answer after we go back and interrogate them.” Chu Xi calmly glanced at the men in black who had their jaws removed and had strips of cloth stuffed in their mouths so they couldn’t even commit suicide.

Tang Yuhuai nodded, "Yes, but unfortunately the other four carts of medicinal materials were robbed and burned, and there is no way to get them back."

Chu Xi, "How can you prevent something that was premeditated?"

You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to prevent a thief in a thousand days.

Yunzhou City.

King Yan sent people to wait for news about Chu Xi at the city gate, and instructed them to inform him as soon as there was any news about Chu Xi.

Therefore, when Chu Xi rushed to the county magistrate's residence on horseback, Prince Yan was just about to mount his horse and rush to the city gate, and the two of them bumped into each other.

"Qibai, you're back?" Zhou Yichen quickly got off the horse, instinctively put his hand on Chu Xi's shoulder, and looked at him carefully.
