Wang Xin is Yi Fan's confidant, but he is also Yi Shuirou's biggest threat.

If he stayed by Duan Tianyang's side, he would only continue to incite and make Duan Tianyang's mind waver.

If Wang Xin died in Duan Tianyang's city guard mansion, Duan Tianyang would find it difficult to explain to Yi Fan, and the plan to go to Xinyang City to join forces would also come to nothing.

When the news spread, Wang Xin's followers swarmed out of the side room and rushed into the main room, only to see chaos at the scene and were all shocked.

Yi Shuirou turned a blind eye to this and left with Caiyun and Caiyue.

As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard, Wang Xin's followers swarmed over and surrounded them, angrily asking, "What did Lord Wang do wrong? Why did the princess take someone's life so rashly?"

After saying this, everyone drew their swords and glared at each other.

Yi Shuirou sneered in response: "Why should I report my actions to you? He deserves to die. Do you want to follow in his footsteps?"

Before he finished speaking, an angry shout came from outside the door: "Stop!"

A group of burly men in black rushed in, led by Qiu Tieyi.

He looked at both sides, his brows furrowed.

"Sir Qiu, the princess killed us without asking why. How should we deal with this matter?" The followers asked Qiu Tieyi for help.

Qiu Tieyi already knew the whole story, but facing the identity of the princess, he still felt it was difficult and hard to make a decision.

He pondered for a moment, then turned to his men and said, "Go find Brother Tian and report this to him."

The subordinate replied, "Yes!"

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Yi Shuirou smiled calmly and said, "No need. Duan Tianyang is in my residence right now. If you want to see him, just follow me."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked, including Qiu Tieyi.

Everyone was puzzled: Why was Brother Tian in the princess' room so late at night?

Yi Shuirou said nothing more and walked out.

Wang Xin's followers wanted to step forward to stop them, but Qiu Tieyi stopped them sternly: "Don't be rude!"

He knew Yi Shuirou's strength very well, and these followers were nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of her.

Qiu Tieyi followed Yi Shuirou closely, his heart also full of curiosity.

They came to Yi Shuirou's villa, and Yi Shuirou led Qiu Tieyi into her room.

The room was in a mess, with dishes and wine jugs scattered all over the floor.

Qiu Tieyi frowned and looked around. Suddenly, he heard snoring coming from the inner room. He turned his gaze to Yi Shuirou, and then walked into the inner room cautiously.

Duan Tianyang was seen sleeping soundly on the princess's bed, reeking of alcohol.

Qiu Tieyi called out "Brother Tian" several times, but Duan Tianyang did not respond.

He gently lifted a corner of the quilt and was shocked to find that Duan Tianyang was naked.

Qiu Tieyi was shocked, his eyes widened, and he understood everything in an instant.

Brother Tian actually had physical contact with the princess... ?

This matter...

It's unbelievable...

He could no longer control himself, and anxiously shook Duan Tianyang's body, shouting: "Brother Tian, ​​Brother Tian! Wake up, something happened!"

With his repeated calls and shaking, Duan Tianyang finally woke up from his deep drunken dream.

He was already drunk, and with Qiu Tieyi constantly shaking, he felt as if his internal organs were churning, and a strong urge to vomit came over him.

He closed his eyes tightly and mumbled incoherently: "Stop shaking! I'm going to vomit..."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Tieyi immediately stopped what he was doing and said anxiously, "Brother Tian, ​​something bad has happened! Just now, the princess suddenly broke into Wang Xin's room and... killed him!"

"Are Wang Xin and his henchmen all dead?" Duan Tianyang opened his eyes with difficulty and looked at Qiu Tieyi.

"No, there's only Wang Xin!" Qiu Tieyi quickly clarified.

"Oh." Duan Tianyang's eyes slowly closed again, and he said softly, "Since everyone is dead, go and comfort Wang Xin's men, and let me sleep for a while."

"Tian...Brother Tian..." Qiu Tieyi hesitated to speak.

"Don't make noise. Let's talk after I wake up." Duan Tianyang mumbled vaguely in his throat, then turned over. Soon, the light snoring sounded again.

Qiu Tieyi is not a dull person. On the contrary, as a man of the world, he has a very meticulous mind.

Seeing that Duan Tianyang was so indifferent, even apathetic, to Wang Xin's death, he had already realized something.

He understood that although Duan Tianyang did not give a direct order, he actually wanted Wang Xin to die.

If the princess takes action, she can stay out of the matter.

When Wang Xin's subordinates report to Yi Fan, they will definitely put the blame on the princess and say it has nothing to do with them.

From this, it seems that Duan Tianyang does not intend to send troops to Xinyang City to help Yi Fan usurp the throne.

After Qiu Tieyi figured out Duan Tianyang's thoughts, he did not stay for long. He left the inner room and said softly to Yi Shuirou outside: "Princess, I have seen you... Sir, I am sorry to bother you. I will take my leave now."

"General Qiu, are you not going to punish me?" Yi Shuirou asked with a smile.

Qiu Tieyi quickly bowed and responded: "How dare I! Princess, please go to bed early. I will take my leave now."

After he finished speaking, he signaled to the people accompanying him and quickly left the room.

When they got outside, everyone couldn't help but whisper to each other: "Sir, is Brother Tian really in the princess' room?"

Not only was she there, but she was also naked...

Qiu Tieyi remained calm on the surface, frowned slightly, deliberately showing his displeasure, and said sternly: "Stop talking! Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!"

Upon hearing this, everyone responded in unison and did not dare to ask any further questions.

Afterwards, Qiu Tieyi led everyone back to Wang Xin's residence.

At this time, Wang Xin's followers were anxiously waiting for news. When they saw them return, they immediately gathered around and asked with concern: "Master Qiu, what did Master Duan say?"

Qiu Tieyi looked around at everyone, looking embarrassed. "Brother Tian was drunk by the princess, and he is unconscious at the moment. We can only make plans after he sobers up tomorrow. But don't hold out too much hope. After all, Brother Tian's status is very different from that of the princess. Even if he wants to avenge Mr. Wang, I'm afraid he is powerless."

"Lord Duan was actually drunk by the princess? The princess obviously planned this in advance... What... What should we do?" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and felt helpless for a moment.

Qiu Tieyi reminded everyone in a "kind" tone: "In my opinion, we should immediately report to Young Master Yi via carrier pigeon and ask for his opinion. Since the princess has already taken action to get rid of Mr. Wang, it is obvious that she has seen through Mr. Wang's intentions. What I am worried about is that Brother Lian Tian may also be in danger next."

It was obvious that he was exaggerating. Duan Tianyang was clearly immersed in the arms of a beautiful woman at the moment, but he described him as if his life was hanging by a thread.

Everyone looked at each other in silence, and finally reached a consensus helplessly: "Alas, it seems that this is the only way."

Afterwards, Wang Xin's followers quickly sent a pigeon message to Yi Fan, reporting in detail the changes that had taken place in Xiguan.

Xiguan is far away from Xinyang City, and even if it is sent by carrier pigeons, it will take nearly half a month to travel back and forth.

In this complex struggle involving Duan Tianyang, Yi Shuirou and Yi Fan, Wang Xin unfortunately became a victim.

Although it was Yi Shuirou who killed him, in essence, he died as a result of Duan Tianyang's careful planning.

Duan Tianyang's borrowing a knife to kill someone allowed him to keep his hands clean even if Wang Xin died, without having directly offended Yi Fan.
