The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

Chapter 383 Mayor Hou sacrifices himself to save others

On Jixiang's side, there was quite a bit of movement.

Because the inn owner was murdered, the mayor Hou Liang stayed in the inn to deal with the matter in order to appease the owner's family and facilitate the interrogation of Guard Li.

At midnight, everyone was asleep. Hou Liang didn't dare to sleep, so he took two of his men to patrol around the inn.

During this inspection, anomalies were discovered.

A dark figure was about to sneak into the woodshed where Qi Rui lived. Hou Liang rushed forward without even thinking about it.

During the fight with the shadow, he was injured.

When Ji Xiang and Tian Muyu heard the noise and went to check, they saw Hou Liang standing at the door of the yard woodshed with an arm covered in blood.

"What's going on?" Tian Muyu asked.

"Someone, someone wants to enter this girl's house and do something inappropriate."

"Where's the person?!" Ji Xiang went straight into the house and saw Qi Rui leaning against a pile of firewood as if it had nothing to do with him, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.

"Run away. That man seemed to have martial arts skills. He gave me a knife and ran away." Hou Liang said quickly.

"I didn't get a good rest during the day, and I wasn't allowed to sleep peacefully at night. Princess, do you think the innkeeper in front of you is trustworthy?"

Jixiang and Tian Muyu were both stunned and glanced at Qi Rui.

Hou Liang was a little annoyed, "What's wrong with you, girl? I saved you out of kindness, why are you slandering me like this?! I shouldn't have cared about you if I had known."

Qi Rui snorted and stopped talking. He just turned his face to one side, not wanting to talk to Jixiang and the others.

Ji Xiang glanced around quickly and saw that the room was not in a mess and that Qi Rui's hands and feet were well tied up. He turned around and left the room and glanced at the trees around the inn.

"Since nothing major happened, let's go back to the house and rest. Ni Xia, go bandage Mayor Hou." Ji Xiang winked at Ni Xia.

"Yes, Miss." Ni Xia agreed.

Hearing the noise, Ni Xia was the first to rush to the door of Jixiang and Tian Muyu's room.

Jixiang found that this Ni Xia was more and more amazing to her. Not only was she fast in medical skills, but she was also superb in martial arts. With her around, it's like a smaller version of myself.

Watching Ni Xia and Hou Liang leave, Ji Xiang pointed his finger in the air.

Immediately a secret guard appeared.

"Did you find anything?" Ji Xiang asked.

"The man in black seemed to know Hou Liang. He obviously hesitated when he stabbed Hou Liang."

"This is interesting." Jixiang looked at Tian Muyu with a smile, "My lord, your people are very useful."

Tian Muyu was a little proud and signaled the secret guard to go down.

Although he knew that Jixiang's ability was not inferior to his, he did not trust Jixiang to escape his sight, so he arranged many secret guards around Jixiang.

This time there was an incident at the inn, so the manpower was doubled.

"We have a lot of people. No matter what trouble he does alone, he will be under our surveillance. But I didn't expect that this matter would be related to Hou Liang."

"Do you think that he is a weak official and will not do anything shocking?"

Tian Muyu nodded sheepishly, he really thought so.

It’s just that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and the sea cannot be measured.

No matter how humble and weak Hou Liang pretends to be, if he has a huge purpose in his heart, it cannot be underestimated.

When Ji Xiang was thinking this, the sound of fighting came from the direction where Ni Xia and Hou Liang left.

Ji Xiang flew out.

Tian Muyu followed immediately.

Hou Liang suddenly attacked Ni Xia, hitting Ni Xia unprepared and knocking the medicine box out of his hand.

Ni Xia looked at Hou Liang coldly, "Are you looking for death?!"

Hou Liang's eyes flashed fiercely and he continued to attack Ni Xia without saying a word.

After Ni Xia reacted, he was not polite. After dismantling Hou Liang's tricks, he started to fight back.

The two were evenly matched in martial arts, and they soon fought for dozens of rounds.

When Jixiang and Tian Muyu flew over, the two were fighting inextricably, and it was hard to intervene for a while.

Ji Xiang stood aside and watched the battle with great interest, "I didn't expect Ni Xia's skills to be so powerful. This girl actually hides her skills well. If you have some free time someday, Your Majesty, you can compete with Ni Xia."

Tian Muyu was not interested, "I would rather compete with you, Princess."

"Oh?" Ji Xiang became interested, "How about trying it now?"

Tian Muyu smiled and patted Ji Xiang's head lovingly, "I will definitely learn from you in the future."

While the two were talking, Ni Xia and Hou Liang dismantled dozens of moves.

Seeing that Hou Liang didn't look like he wanted to kill Ni Xia, Jixiang frowned and said, "This Hou Liang is quite good. Hou Liang, are you from King Duan, right?" Jixiang suddenly shouted.

Hou Liang, who was fighting, was startled.

Ni Xia took advantage of his daze and punched him in the eye.

"Ouch!" Hou Liang was hit unexpectedly and took a few steps back.

Ni Xia continued to attack, but was stopped by Ji Xiang.

"Ni Xia, come here, he doesn't want to harm you, he just wants to get in touch with you."

Ni Xia was surprised, glanced at Hou Liang, and said coldly and harshly, "I have nothing to do with him!"

Tian Muyu has already gone over to control Hou Liang.

Hou Liang covered his injured eye socket and stared at Ni Xia with one eye, "It's all because she wanted to do something to me just now, otherwise I wouldn't..."

"Haha, Mayor Hou, why are you like Sanya, who likes to confuse right and wrong and blame others?" Ji Xiang looked at Hou Liang with an expression like "I've seen through you a long time ago."

"You didn't want Ni Xia to bandage your wound, and you wanted to try her skills, so you did it deliberately?"

Hou Liang was stunned.

Ni Xia walked to Ji Xiang's side at this time and said, "Miss, there is something wrong with this person."

After Ni Xia said this, she suddenly felt a little dizzy. Just when she was about to ask, she staggered and fell down.

When Hou Liang saw Ni Xia fall down, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He turned to look at Ji Xiang, "She's still not as good as me."

Originally he thought that Jixiang would help Ni Xia, but Jixiang not only ignored Ni Xia, but jumped back more than ten feet and watched Ni Xia fall to the ground.

"She, isn't she yours? You don't care about her life or death?!" Hou Liang was surprised, and then sneered, "They say that Prince Ning and Princess Ning love the people so much and are very good to the people around them. I didn't expect it to be all rumors. "In my opinion, the princess is a bit cold-blooded."

"I don't think I need your judgment as to whether I'm cold-blooded or not." Ji Xiang ducked out of the way and was in front of Hou Liang, grabbed him by the neck, and "searched him!"

Tian Muyu immediately began to search Hou Liang obediently.

Soon a small bottle was found from his chest, "What is this?!"

"It's either the antidote or the poison." Jixiang took the bottle, opened the cap, and quickly put it in front of Hou Liang's nose. Hou Liang was so scared that he tried to hide back.

"It looks like it's poison. Search again to see if the antidote is also on him."

But this time, no matter how Tian Muyu searched, nothing was found on Hou Liang's body.

"There's no antidote?" Ji Xiang looked at Hou Liang with a cold face.

Hou Liang smiled proudly, "Princess, you can only watch your subordinates die in front of you."

Ji Xiang pinched Hou Liang with such force that his face turned purple, but he did not beg.

Tian Muyu signaled Jixiang to calm down, "Princess, don't let him die yet. We haven't found out who is behind him yet? And is he related to Sanya?"

After listening to Tian Muyu's words, Jixiang calmed down a little. She threw Hou Liang to Tian Muyu and quickly ran towards Ni Xia.
