To be honest, on the way to Lingdu City, Qingtian Xiong conducted a detailed investigation on each of the personal guards appointed by Han Qiumiao, and he had a good understanding of their identities. Among them, the one that attracted his attention the most was undoubtedly Xuanbing Gonggong.
Lord Isabel, the traitor Nangong Ling from the Temple of the Dead, and Xiao Qing, who seems to be walking around in the world. The martial arts of these three women seem to be above him...
As for Wei Suyao from Shuixian Pavilion, although this woman is not bad in strength, she is a warrior who has just entered the extreme peak. Unfortunately, the internal skills and mental methods she cultivated are not the unique secrets collected by Shuixian Pavilion. Therefore, in the eyes of Qingtian Xiong, Wei Suyao
Nothing to fear...
It's right to think about it. Wei Suyao is just a disciple of Shuixian Pavilion. Her martial arts realm has improved very quickly, but the internal skills and mental methods she practices are nothing more than general-purpose skills used by many entry-level disciples of Shuixian Pavilion. They are not particularly outstanding.
His peerless secrets are probably several levels behind the internal skills and mental techniques learned by Isabel, Qi Li'an, Xiao Qing and others.
Maybe, the inner strength and mental methods used by Wei Suyao now are not as good as those practiced by Mu Hanxing and Zheng Chengxue. After all, Mu Hanxing and Zheng Chengxue both obtained the unique secret book of Biyuan Villa on the birthday of Master Zheng.
.
The topic has gone too far and back to the main point. Qingtian Xiong asked Hou Baihu carefully and knew almost all the accompanying warriors appointed by Han Qiumiao. Among so many warriors, Qingtian Xiong paid the least attention to the person.
It is Zhou Xingyun, who is top-notch.
Qingtian Xiong never understood why Han Qiumiao would let a top warrior follow her. It wasn't until Zen Master Tianhu and Shen Quan came to talk to him and mentioned Zhou Xingyun's weird skills that Qingtian Xiong suddenly realized it.
Qingtian Xiong couldn't help but secretly scold Hou Baihu for being useless. He could see that this person was obviously jealous of Zhou Xingyun and did not want to admit that Zhou Xingyun had learned the unique secrets of Jianshu Villa and was better at martial arts than him, so when he reported to him,
Invisibly, he avoided talking about Zhou Xingyun. This almost ruined the matter.
Now Qingtian Xiong listened to the statements of Zen Master Tianhu and immediately listed Zhou Xingyun as one of the people who needed to be vigilant most. It is no wonder that Han Qiumiao often kept Zhou Xingyun by his side. It turned out that this person had special skills.
"Shen Quan, the owner of Shenjiazhuang in Tian Xuefeng, comes to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. I will be ordered by Qingzhou Mu to guard your mansion and protect Her Royal Highness the Princess." As soon as Qingtian Xiong left, Shen Quan took the initiative to step forward and say hello to Han Qiumiao.
"You are so brave! You actually teamed up with evil warriors to assassinate me! Now you dare to appear in my eyes!" Of course Han Qiumiao would not give Shen Quan a good look and immediately accused him.
"Princess, please calm down. Mr. Zhoumu heard that the evil gangsters wanted to assassinate the princess. That day, his subordinates were ordered by Mr. Zhoumu to go to the mountain west of Shiyuan City to rescue her. However, the situation was chaotic at that time. The subordinates did not know that the people in front of them were actually Her Royal Highness the Princess.
I am a guard, but I mistook myself for an enemy or a friend. I hope that Your Highness the Princess will forgive me." Shen Quan's face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. He opened his eyes wide and said nonsense: "Tianxue Feng Shenjiazhuang is not an evil sect, and will never collude with evil sects."
"You are lying! You are clearly brothers and sisters with the Xuanyang Taoist! I personally heard you calling him Brother Qiao!" Aisha hated people who lied the most, and immediately accused Shen Quan of talking nonsense.
"Little girl, I misunderstood. I only have a one-sided acquaintance with George Town. We had a chance to drink a glass of wine and politely called him Brother Qiao on the rivers and lakes. How did I know that he was actually Xuanyang Tianzun of Xuanyang Sect!" Shen Quan was shameless.
He said: "Your Highness, please rest assured. I learned that the thief in Georgetown is actually the leader of the Xuanyang Cult who brought harm to the people. We have now severed all ties with him!"
"You are shameless, you are telling lies with your eyes open.
…”
"Ayesha, stop talking." Zhou Xingyun looked at the frank girl Ayesha and wanted to argue with Shen Quan angrily, so he couldn't help but pull her back to his side.
Shen Quan admitted to colluding with the evil sect, what could Han Qiumiao do to him? People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and everyone knows clearly whether it is black or white.
"Okay, this is none of your business, please step aside. The east chamber is my place of retreat, no one is allowed to disturb my rest!"
Han Qiumiao sent Shen Quan away in a few words. She needed to discuss the next countermeasures with Zhou Xingyun.
"I understand that Mr. Zhou Mu lives in the west wing. If Her Royal Highness the Princess has any needs, she can ask her subordinates to report it. Also, Mr. Zhou Mu hopes that Her Highness Princess will have a good rest today. At midnight tomorrow, Mr. Zhou Mu will be there. Important matters must be discussed with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Then... I will resign."
Chen Quan cupped his fists and saluted Han Qiumiao, then winked at Zen Master Tianhu on the other side, and then exited the courtyard with the guards in the east chamber.
"It's so shameless. His skin is thicker than yours." Ayesha muttered, looking at Shen Quan who was retreating.
"Hey, hey, Ayesha, why did you drag me into this?" Zhou Xingyun couldn't laugh or cry. It was really unkind for Xiao Nizi to compare him.
"Their people are all guarding outside the east chamber courtyard." Wei Suyao could sense that Shen Quan seemed to have left the east chamber courtyard. In fact, they led people and surrounded the entire east chamber. There were estimated to be four people. Extreme peak warriors were on the left and right to prevent Han Qiumiao from escaping.
"Don't worry about them, let's go back to the room to discuss the matter." Han Qiumiao was decisive and calmly took Zhou Xingyun and others back to the wing to discuss countermeasures.
Regardless of the wind and waves, it was better than taking a leisurely stroll. Now, as expected, they were put under house arrest by the Northern Territory Mu in the luxurious mansion in Lingdu City. Next, they must try to get in touch with Xu Zhiqian outside the mansion.
"Finally we stopped for a moment." Han Qiumiao returned to the side room and sat down on the chair quite tiredly.
Ever since Zhou Xingyun and Xu Zhiqian met in private that night, Qingtian Xiong seemed to have noticed something strange and sent people to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day, so that Han Qiumi could no longer communicate with Xu Zhiqian and others.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, Zhou Xingyun had already made an agreement with Xu Zhiqian that they would wait for the opportunity after entering the city.
"Have you noticed that when we entered the city, we were warmly welcomed by the people of Lingdu City. When they looked at the pastor of Beijing Prefecture, their eyes flashed with fanatical light." Uncle He Taishi looked solemn, and just now Beijing Prefecture When Mu led them into the city, he was almost shocked by the excited and happy appearance of the local residents.
Uncle He Taishi never expected that the Northern Territory Shepherd was so loved. When they entered the city, the people of Lingdu City cheered. It was more joyful than the New Year. Moreover, Uncle He could feel it. , the reason why they cheered was for Qingtian Bear, not because of the arrival of the eldest princess Han Qiumiao.
In addition, Uncle He Taishi also noticed a bad sign.
When the people of Lingdu City learned that the people following the Northern Territory Mu into the city were Princess Yongming, Han Qiumiao, and her accompanying escorts, the hostility faintly revealed in their eyes could be detected by anyone.
Han Qiumiao is in Lingdu City, and the enemies he has to face may not only be Qingtian Xiong's personal guards, but also the entire
The people in Lingdu City all regarded them as enemies, which Uncle He Taishi never expected.
Obviously, when they entered the city, the residents of Lingdu City had already memorized their appearance. If they were noticed by the people of Lingdu City when they escaped, they would surely be searched by the whole people.
"The residents here all believe in the Xuanyang Sect. They believe that the Northern Territory Shepherd assisted by Xuanyang Tianzun is the real one who can make the people of the Northern Territory peaceful and peaceful." Hou Baihu spoke very proactively, hoping that he would have a good His performance was valued by Han Qiumiao.
Although Hou Baihu has no intention of betraying Qing Tian Xiong for the time being, pleasing Her Highness the Princess and gaining her trust are two different things from whether he betrays Qing Tian Xiong or not.
Hou Baihu thought very well and planned to please both sides, provide Han Qiumiao with information about Qingtian Bear appropriately, win the princess's trust, and then report Han Qiumiao's every move to Qingtian Bear appropriately.
No matter what the final outcome is, he, the middleman, will not suffer any loss.
From Hou Baihu's personal point of view, when Han Qiumiao came to Lingdu City, it was basically difficult to fly. Even though Han Qiumiao was quite prosperous at this time, he was accompanied by dozens of expert guards, and he could also order Shen Quan and others to leave the east chamber. In fact, Lingdu City is the territory of Qingtian Xiong. Tens of thousands of Northern City guards are camped in the southern suburbs of the city. They will arrive at any time when an order is given. It is impossible for Han Qiumiao to escape.
As for Chen Quan and Zen Master Tianhu, why did they obediently obey Han Qiumiao's instructions and exit the east chamber courtyard with many guards? That was not because Hou Baihu was serving as the eyes and ears beside the princess.
Qingtian Xiong knew very well that if Chen Quan and Zen Master Tianhu were allowed to stay in the east chamber to guard the courtyard, Han Qiumiao would be furious. Moreover, if Chen Quan and Zen Master Tianhu stayed in the east chamber, Han Qiumiao would be on guard at all times.
Instead of letting Han Qiumiao guard Shen Quan and Zen Master Tianhu all the time and secretly discuss matters in private, Qingtian Xiong should openly let Shen Quan and the two leave the east chamber courtyard in order to eliminate Han Qiumiao's wariness.
In this way, Hou Baihu can easily control Han Qiumiao's discussions in the wing room. In short, Hou Baihu thinks that Qingtian Xiong is destined to win over Princess Yongming...
Qingtian Xiong did not embarrass Han Qiumiao. He was interested in the princess and wanted to marry Han Qiumiao. If Hou Baihu could please the two of them and become the matchmaker for their marriage, he would become a prosperous person.
"How do you know that the people in Lingdu City believe in the Xuanyang Sect?" Uncle He Taishi asked Hou Baihu curiously. It was the first time for everyone to come to Lingdu City. Why did Hou Baihu say that the local residents all believed Xuanyang Tianzun? The auxiliary Northern Territory Shepherd is the real one who can make the people of the Northern Territory peaceful and peaceful.
Han Qiumiao knew that Hou Baihu was a spy, so no matter what enemy secrets Hou Baihu revealed, she would not be surprised at all, let alone deliberately expose Hou Baihu. However, Uncle He Taishi did not know that Hou Baihu He was a young boy, so he looked at Hou Baihu in surprise...
"Uncle Taishi, have you forgotten? I have been traveling in the rivers and lakes last year and have been to the Northern Territory. I heard a lot of news about the evil sect, but I never thought that things would become so complicated." Hou Bai Hu naturally came up with an excuse. But...
After hearing this, Uncle He Taishi still looked at Hou Baihu with doubt, because Hou Baihu's two wives were both members of Jianshu Villa. When they returned to Jianshu Villa in the New Year, they brought soil from the southern towns. A special product, said to be a filial piety to his elders.
