Xue Pan was about to get chills. If he had known that she was a princess, he would not have dared to run over and cause trouble. This was simply seeking death.
Zhao Xingyue didn't even look at him, and said to Xiahou Hongxiang: "This time when I arrived at the boundary of Tianma City, I encountered dangers one after another. You know my father's temper. If I tell him these things, what will happen to you?
Figure it out for yourself."
If he had just offended himself, he could be forgiven, but he was preparing to kill his favorite person in the pagoda, and he could not let go of such a person no matter what.
Although these words did not mention Xue Pan a word, they directly sentenced him to death.
"The bold maniac dares to be disrespectful to Her Highness the Princess. I will drag him out and chop him."
Xiahou Hongxiang had no intention of defending Xue Pan at this time. It was this guy who tipped him off, which caused him to lose face in front of everyone.
Now Zhao Xingyue wants to avenge Qin Haodong, and he also wants to vent his anger on himself.
Xue Pan was so frightened that he kowtowed like a chicken eating rice, "No, General Xiahou, please spare me this time..."
But before he could finish speaking, a deputy general reached out and grabbed his neck, dragged him aside, and chopped off his head with a knife.
Xiahou Hongxiang glared at Xue Pan's body, turned back to Zhao Xingyue and said, "Your Highness, are you satisfied with this?"
Zhao Xingyue nodded, "Forget it this time, get out of the way quickly, we have to go back to Xuanwu Academy."
Unexpectedly, Xiahou Hongxiang did not get out of the way, but said: "Your Highness, you can't leave."
Zhao Xingyue's face darkened: "What do you mean? Do you want to arrest me?"
"Your Highness the Princess is joking, how dare I arrest you." Xiahou Hongxiang said respectfully, "You just said that you encountered dangers one after another in the realm of my Tianma City, which makes me feel deeply guilty.
If something unexpected happens to Your Highness the Princess, I, Xiahou Hongxiang, will be entirely responsible for her death."
Zhao Xingyue knew that these were all excuses and asked directly: "Then what do you want?"
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "I would like to ask Her Highness the Princess to follow me back to Tianma City, and then immediately report to His Majesty the King and ask him to send experts to protect the safety of Her Highness the Princess."
"no!"
Zhao Xingyue ran out secretly and had to reveal her identity just now. Naturally, she didn't want to be caught back to Xuanwu Palace like this.
"You just need to get out of the way, and you don't have to worry about other things."
Xiahou Hongxiang did not give in this time, and said firmly: "Your Highness, in order to protect your safety, I forgive you for not obeying your order. No matter what, I will invite Your Highness to my Tianma City."
"this……"
Zhao Xingyue was a little embarrassed. Even though she was extremely smart, Xiahou Hongxiang was also an old fox. Her words were high-sounding and without any flaws. She really couldn't find any reason to refute.
In desperation, he could only say: "Well, I'll leave it to General Xiahou."
"Serving your Highness the Princess is what you should do." Xiahou Hongxiang said to Qin Haodong and others, "Your Highness the Princess, follow me back to Tianma City. You can leave now."
Zhao Xingyue frowned, now Xiahou Hongxiang did not dare to attack Qin Haodong and others for his own sake, but he was afraid that once they separated, they would be chased by tens of thousands of troops.
She said: "Xiahou Hongxiang, these are my friends. If you want to go to the palace with me to meet my father, you can't drive them away."
But the little witch couldn't see the mystery here. She said happily: "I have never been to Tianma City, nor to the palace. Now I can go and play with Sister Xingyue."
Xiahou Hongxiang sighed, this Xingyue Princess
Much more difficult to deal with than the legend says.
"Since the princess has an order, everyone should come with me."
After saying that, he asked his men to disperse the practitioners present, and then rushed towards Tianma City with Zhao Xingyue and Qin Haodong.
Tens of thousands of troops guarded Zhao Xingyue in the center, like stars holding the moon, while Xiahou Hongxiang and his deputy Jiang Bin walked at the end of the team.
Jiang Bin was Xiahou Hongxiang's close confidant. He whispered: "General, we can't swallow this tone at all. The revenge of the eldest master and the young master must be avenged."
Xiahou Hongxiang said with a sinister look: "Of course, I must cut this boy named Qin to death with a thousand knives! But now is not the time to take action, let this boy live for a while longer.
When we get to Tianma City, we will have plenty of ways to kill him!"
The two of them conspired, and on Qin Haodong's side, Tu Jiaojiao whispered: "Haodong, I grew up in Tianma City since I was a child, and I know a lot about Xiahou Hongxiang.
This old guy is cunning, cunning, greedy, and will always seek revenge. This matter will definitely not be settled like this, and he will definitely cause trouble for you when he gets to Tianma City."
Murong Jinghong said: "Yes, he doesn't dare to do anything now that Xingyue is by his side. Once we are separated, I'm afraid he will kill him.
How about we find a suitable opportunity and escape secretly?"
"Escape, do you think we can escape?"
Qin Haodong glanced around and saw that Xiahou Hongxiang's men surrounded them in the middle. The euphemistic reason was to protect Zhao Xingyue, but in fact it was to prevent them from escaping.
Surrounded by tens of thousands of troops, I'm afraid even the mosquitoes won't be able to fly out.
Tu Jiaojiao said eagerly: "Then what should we do?"
"Don't be in a hurry, just take it one step at a time and see what you can do when you see it."
Although Tianma City is Xiahou Hongxiang's territory, Qin Haodong is not too panicked because he still has a trump card in his hand, which is the seventh-level pagoda.
When it comes to a last resort, he can teleport himself directly to the seventh-level pagoda, and there will be nothing the opponent can do no matter how strong he is.
Tianma City is not too far from Futu Mountain. The army marched for half a day, and slowly a huge city appeared in everyone's sight.
Worthy of being the second largest city in the Xuanwu Kingdom, Tianma City looks so majestic from a distance that you can't see the edges at a glance, and is larger than any ancient city on earth.
After entering the city, Xiahou Hongxiang said to Zhao Xingyue: "Your Highness, Princess, I should have invited you to my city lord's mansion as a guest, but unfortunately my family did not understand etiquette and were too noisy, fearing to disturb Your Highness the Princess.
I have a villa in Tianma City. It is extremely quiet and has an elegant environment. It is suitable for Her Royal Highness to rest. What do you think of it?"
Qin Haodong secretly smiled in his heart, quiet and elegant? This guy wanted to find a suitable place to attack him.
Zhao Xingyue didn't think much about it. She didn't like making noise in the first place, so she nodded and said, "Okay!"
Xiahou Hongxiang looked overjoyed and led everyone directly to a manor in the west of Tianma City. It was far away from the busy city and was indeed very quiet. The pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings looked extremely luxurious.
"Your Highness, are you satisfied with this place?"
Zhao Xingyue said: "Not bad!"
"Since Her Royal Highness the Princess is satisfied and will stay here for now, I will immediately send someone to send your message to the palace. It is expected that His Majesty the King will send someone to take you back soon."
Zhao Xingyue nodded. Although she didn't want to go back yet, she no longer had the right to choose. Xiahou Hongxiang would not let her leave under any circumstances.
"It's getting late, please take some rest, Princess!" Xiahou Hongxiang turned around and said to Qin Hao
Dong said, "This is where Her Royal Highness the Princess lives. It is not suitable for men to enter. Please follow me to the courtyard next to you to rest."
Zhao Xingyue frowned and said, "Brother Qin is my friend. There are many rooms here, so let him live here."
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "Your Highness, that is not possible. You live here now, how dare I let other men in."
Otherwise, if the reputation of the princess is ruined and His Highness the King takes the blame, I won’t be able to chop off my ten heads.”
What he said was so high-sounding that Zhao Xingyue could not find any reason to refute it.
Qin Haodong said: "It doesn't matter, we live not far anyway. I'll come over if anything happens."
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "Yes, Mr. Qin lives nearby, only a few hundred meters away from here. Her Royal Highness the Princess can visit at any time tomorrow!"
Zhao Xingyue couldn't say anything else. Qin Haodong followed Xiahou Hongxiang out of their residence and came to another small courtyard next to them.
The environment here is also good, but except for Qin Haodong, no one else lives there.
Xiahou Hongxiang said with a non-smiling smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, please feel aggrieved here first."
Qin Haodong said: "It doesn't matter, I like to be quiet."
"As long as you like it."
After Xiahou Hongxiang finished speaking, he turned around, the look on his face suddenly darkened, and he said to himself, "Boy, tonight is the day you die."
He left here and returned to his general's mansion, and asked his subordinates to call his deputy general Jiang Bin.
After entering the door, Jiang Bin said directly: "General, are you going to attack that kid?"
Xiahou Hongxiang said with a gloomy expression: "I have arranged a separate yard for that boy. You can ask someone to kill him tonight.
I have already understood that this boy's cultivation is only at the late stage of the Void Refining Realm, so it is nothing. But he has a seventh-level monster that is very ferocious. My eldest brother was killed by that monster.
So when you call someone to take action, you must make a sneak attack, take him by surprise, and kill him directly without giving him a chance to summon the monster."
"Don't worry, General, I will make sure that boy doesn't see the sun tomorrow." Jiang Bin then said, "Where are Princess Xingyue and those women? Do you want to kill them too?"
Xiahou Hongxiang waved his hand and said: "Don't be impulsive. Zhao Xingyue is the princess of the kingdom after all. If something happens in our Tianma City, we won't be able to afford it."
I have already reported the news to the Queen, and we will just listen to the Queen's decision. If the Queen lets us take action, we will kill them directly on the road."
Jiang Bin nodded and said: "I know, General, I will prepare the manpower now."
Xiahou Hongxiang said: "Remember, you must strike cleanly and never leave any tail behind."
"Don't worry, I happen to have a pair of assassins in my hands. They are not only highly cultivated, but also good at assassination. They have never missed a shot so far. They will definitely send the boy named Qin to the West."
After speaking, Jiang Bin left the general's mansion with confidence.
Qin Haodong had nothing to do here. He lay on the bed early after dinner. After closing his eyes, the women at home flashed in his mind one by one.
Lin Momo, Hu Xiaoxian, Nalan Wushuang, Nalan Wuxia... I wonder how they are doing now...
Just when he was immersed in the beautiful memories, he suddenly felt an alarm in his heart, and his soul swept out of the room, only to see a black shadow appearing in the courtyard like a ghost.
Qin Haodong thought to himself, "You came so quickly. Since you want to play, I will accompany you!"
