On the old street in the west of the city, under the shadows of the trees, Pei Guichen remained silent.

As the evening breeze blew, the beauty's skirt fluttered gently, like rippling waves, extremely beautiful, but embroidered with strange green vines and hideous and poisonous scorpions.

Step by step, he stepped on the bloodstains that had not yet dried on the ground.

Until she stood beside Pei Guichen, the beautiful lady in the brocade skirt smiled thoughtfully: "Thirty of my barbarian clan's Nether Scorpion Iron Cavalry couldn't last more than ten moves under King Feng Ran."

Hearing this, Pei Guichen clenched the jade handle of his folding fan.

As a fellow practitioner of swordsmanship, he was also shocked. In tonight's crushing fight, Xuanyuan Fengran, who used the poison silk as a sword in his hand, showed that his swordsmanship was indeed superb.

But he admitted that he couldn't do it.

Pei Guichen changed the subject and said sternly: "I told you not to touch Abao."

Upon hearing this, Lan Mi laughed jokingly: "Master Pei does care about her. It's a pity that she might be in Xuanyuan Fengran's bed right now."

Pei Guichen's face suddenly became gloomy and ugly.

Lan Mi laughed even more mockingly: "Speaking of which, I really should spread the taboo of the Imperial Princess and her uncle's affair, and let the world laugh at me——"

Pei Guichen grabbed Lan Mi's neck and interrupted her.

"I told you not to touch Po."

"You're protecting it so tightly? Who are you showing it to?"

Lan Mi sneered and raised her eyes, feeling Pei Guichen's tightening force on her neck, and his gloomy face, gritting his teeth in anger. "I'm really curious, is Mr. Pei's favorite person Xiao Jingyue? Or Xuanyuan Abao?"

When questioned, Pei Guichen's brocade white robe was ruffled by the evening breeze and his eyes suddenly darkened.

Lan Mi laughed and mocked even more mercilessly: "I have to sympathize with her. Since Master Pei has promised the Empress of the Central Palace to Xiao Jingyue, the Imperial Princess has to be a concubine!"

"Don't think I dare not kill you." Pei Guichen pinched out of control.

Red fingerprints appeared on Lan Mi's fair neck, but she showed no fear. "If you have the time to threaten me, you might as well get rid of Princess Xuanyuan's scout."

Lan Mi's eyes were vicious as she finished speaking: "That skilled scout from Western Frontier has almost reached the entrance of Mengjia Village several times. If I don't use this assassination to attract Princess Xuanyuan's attention and stir up trouble, once she finds Mengjia Village, it will destroy our decades of hard work!"

Pei Guichen shouted, "I warned you to evacuate those things!"

“Those things, can they just retreat?” Lan Mi sneered and told the horrifying truth: “Master Pei, you clearly saw it with your own eyes, those things eat people.”

…Those things eat people.

The white veil on Lan Mi's face swaying in the evening breeze suddenly looked like a strange ghost.

At this moment, Pei Guichen recalled the cruelty of Hai Liao's suicide three years ago, and the massacre of Winter Village by Zhou Lang, the biological father of the young Jiang Lan.

Pei Guichen, silently clenching the jade handle of his folding fan, was forced to admit that what Lan Mi said made sense.

He must stop Abao from uncovering the secrets of Mengjia Village.

This night is destined to be restless.

But no matter how dark and deep the night is, it will eventually be torn apart by the light of the sky.

The first ray of sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, shrouding Abao's thin figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling sliding window.

She was intoxicated by the sea breeze in the distance and the Lingrui Dockyard that became lively in the early morning.

The heavy footsteps stopped behind her, and her shoulders suddenly felt heavy.

A Bao glanced sideways and saw Xuanyuan Fengran putting his dark black robe on her.

She looked at her uncle against the morning light.

Even though the beast has retracted its fangs and sharp claws, it is still a beast.

Last night's Xuanyuan Fengran finally reminded her that even though the emperor's uncle was always gentle and doting in front of her, he was ultimately the Butcher King of the Northern Frontier.

Po murmured, "Being crazy all night, are you happy?"

Before she finished her words, he raised his hands and grasped her waist, stroking her from time to time with dark eyes until her skin became warm. He leaned over and asked in her ear.

"Why did Pei Guichen hug you?"

The Man-Slaughter King's voice was extremely hoarse, low and cruel.

Suddenly he took another half step forward, approached the little girl in front of him, and trapped her in his arms.

"You hid it from me and invited him to meet you at the Old Street at midnight last night." As he spoke, Xuanyuan Fengran's dark eyes stared at the red mark on A Bao's fair neck, and he gritted his teeth, saying with a deeper meaning: "When did you start to like him again?"

Hearing this, A Bao knew that Xuanyuan Fengran had a deep misunderstanding.

The drama she arranged last night was to pretend to be abducted by people from Mengjia Village.

Once something happens to her, Xuanyuan Fengran will be able to justify a large-scale search of Yuezhou City.

As for Pei Guichen, he must want to find out who in Mengjia Village is so stupid as to dare to kidnap the crown prince and attract the attention of the imperial capital.

At that time, Pei Guichen contacted the death squad of Mengjia Village.

She naturally followed the clues and followed Pei Guichen to the entrance of Mengjia Village.

Thinking of this, A Bao tugged at Xuanyuan Fengran's dark black inner garment.

"Just listen to my excuses, okay, uncle?"
