It is not difficult to guess that in addition to the two Xuanjing Saints, the other middle-aged man with a thin build and a black robe should be Si Tianming!

Yan Nantian immediately turned around and returned to the room. When everyone saw that his expression was different, they already understood.

After listening to his story, Xiao Qin frowned and said, "I didn't expect them to come so fast!"

Lu Danyang said: "Two people from the Xuan Realm are here. We are definitely no match. But as long as we don't show up, they won't mess around, right?"

Xiao Qin shook his head and said: "Since they can enter this inn, they already know that we live here. Don't be anxious first. Although Si Tianming is the leader of Jianghu, he is also a citizen of the Qian Kingdom, and those two people in the Xuan Realm They are also ministers of the Qian Kingdom, so I will use my identity as the eldest princess to threaten them and see if I can drive them away."

"No!" Nangong Feixue categorically stopped him, "They dare to chase all the way because they received the instructions from the emperor and the prince. In this remote place, they will definitely be more unscrupulous. If you come forward, you may even be in danger."

"That's right! It's better for us to just wait and see what happens! When forced, it's not too late for the eldest princess to come forward!" Lu Danyang said.

At this time, I heard the shopkeeper downstairs admonishing: "Sir, you really can't go up to disturb me. There are very noble people living up there who have a very high status!"

Then, a loud "bang" was heard, followed by the sound of something falling to the ground.

Boom, Boom, Boom...

There was a series of footsteps going up the stairs.

Everyone looked at each other and knew that there was no way to escape and they had to go out and face it!

Xiao Qin opened the door, went to the corridor, walked to the stairs, and looked coldly at the people walking up to her.

The three people immediately stopped and looked surprised.

They probably didn't know that the eldest princess was here.

The two Xuanjing Saints immediately saluted: "Greetings to the eldest princess!"

Another person followed and paid homage.

Xiao Qin said with a straight face: "I met these two Xuanjing Saints at the Queen Mother's birthday ceremony. Who are they?"

The man in black robe respectfully replied: "In response to the eldest princess, I am Si Tianming, the leader of the Tianwu Sect!"

"The Heavenly Witch Sect?" Xiao Qin said coldly, "I have never heard of such a small sect."

Si Tianming looked embarrassed.

"What are the names of these two Xuanjing Saints, and what positions do they hold now?" Xiao Qin looked sideways at them.

"My humble position is Wang Dongcheng, the commander of the Golden Palace Tiger Guard!"

The Jin Zhan Hu Guards are the elite of the Royal Forest Army and are on duty at the court every day. As the commander, Wang Dongcheng was always by the emperor's side.

Another Xuanjing Saint said: "The humble position is Jia Yuanting, the supreme commander of the Daqianyingyi Guards!"

Xiao Qin said coldly: "You two rushed up with a fierce sect leader, do you want to kill me?"

"I don't dare to humble my position!" Wang Dongcheng said, "We are here to capture the important criminal under the order of the emperor. Please make it convenient for the eldest princess!"

Although their postures were respectful, it could be seen that they showed no fear at all.

Their purpose was to kill Ye Qingchen, and they also knew that Ye Qingchen belonged to the eldest princess. With the emperor's orders and being in a remote place in the far north, how could a eldest princess stop the operation?

Xiao Qin naturally knew this. This place is far away from the center of the capital, remote and desolate. Even if these three people kill her and all the Chu people upstairs in a fit of anger, and then kill the entire Bei'an County to silence them, it is not impossible!

They have the strength, and at the same time, they also have the motivation and reason to do this.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qin, who had always been calm, felt a chill running down his spine.

"The people living upstairs are all my friends. Is there any crime? Everyone, please go back!" Xiao Qin said calmly.

Wang Dongcheng smiled coldly, raised his head and said: "Eldest Princess, please forgive me for not being able to obey! We have the emperor's orders and we dare not neglect them. If the eldest princess insists on blocking it, we will have no choice but to offend. Please forgive me. If you are acting under orders, you really can’t help yourself!”

After saying that, he took the lead and took a step forward, obviously ready to do something hard.

Xiao Qin said angrily: "Bastard, do you want to rebel?"

Wang Dongcheng continued to move forward, followed closely by Jia Yuanting and Si Tianming.

Seeing that he was very determined, Xiao Qin was immediately at wits' end. His teeth chattered, whether it was anger or fear.

Now that Ye Qingchen is not here, Si Tianming has nothing to fear. But if they discover Nangong Feixue, the Princess of Chu who just escaped from the palace may have to enter the palace again.

Xiao Qin mustered up her courage, glared at the visitor and said resolutely: "If you want to go upstairs, you must kill me first!"

Wang Dongcheng raised the corners of his lips and smiled contemptuously: "Eldest Princess, we are acting under the emperor's orders. If we accidentally hurt the eldest princess, the emperor will definitely not blame us. Besides, this place is so remote. If the eldest princess has three strengths and two weaknesses, Maybe the news won't reach the capital..."

"You..." Xiao Qin didn't expect that he would dare to threaten her, so she took a step back angrily.

At this time, Yan Nantian and Lu Danyang rushed out with swords and stood in front of the eldest princess, fearing that Wang Dongcheng would actually take action.

Wang Dongcheng laughed proudly and said: "Two people in the true martial arts realm dare to come and die?"

The muscles on Yan Nantian and Lu Danyang's faces twitched a few times, but they were speechless in the end. Indeed, in front of their opponents, their strength cannot stand the test.

Nangong Feiyu and Nangong Feiyan walked out.

Nangong Feiyu looked at Wang Dongcheng and shouted righteously: "The Crown Princess's return to the country for treatment is a matter of the Crown Prince's consent and the Emperor's approval. It is a major matter concerning the Crown Princess's life and the good relations between Qian and Chu. But you and others are What was the intention of intercepting and killing the guards of my Da Chu who were escorting the crown princess on the way? Could it be that the Emperor of Qian Kingdom wanted to go back on his word? Or did he want to openly declare war with me, the Da Chu?"

Hearing this, the three people on the stairs were stunned for a moment.

Jia Yuanting immediately calmed down and asked humbly: "Since His Highness Prince Nanling wants to escort the Crown Princess back to Chu State, why don't you go south instead of coming to this far north of Lizhou? Could it be that you are sending the Crown Prince off under the guise of As a concubine, do you have other plans?"

Nangong Feiyu said cynically: "I like to travel around the mountains and rivers. Can't you go another way? How qualified are you, a small leader of the Tiger Guard, to question me?"

I saw the two sides starting to argue and were at a stalemate. Si Tianming frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Two adults, our goal is only to offend the people named Ye. There is no need to offend these people. Why don't I recite the incantation here first. If the person named Ye is upstairs, the poisonous insects in his body will definitely It will feel something. If he can't resist, he will show up naturally!"

Hearing this, Wang Dongcheng recalled that he had even threatened the eldest princess just now in order to rush forward. He couldn't help but secretly regretted it. He turned back and glared at Si Tianming and said, "Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier?"

Si Tianming remained silent. He naturally knew why Wang Dongcheng was so angry.

Wang Dongcheng and Jia Yuanting turned around and walked downstairs, pulled up a stool and sat down.

Xiao Qin breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Ye Qingchen's absence and Si Tianming's incantation would not have any effect.

She approached the stairs and looked down, and found the innkeeper lying in a pool of blood. Apparently he had been killed for blocking them from going upstairs.

Si Tianming shook his robe in a serious manner, closed his eyes slightly, his beard trembled, his lips opened and closed closely, and he began to read with a sob.

In the corridor on the second floor, Xiao Qin and Chu Guoren looked at each other and smiled.

But I heard a voice coming from outside the inn: "Stop reading, I'm coming!"

Everyone on the second floor immediately changed their expressions.
