Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

He gave up the fight with Xiao Zhan and Si Ruochen, asked his men to stop the two, and went straight to Jiang Xue.

Noticing this change, Xiao Zhan and Si Ruochen accelerated their offensive, hoping to get rid of their opponent as soon as possible and rescue Jiang Xue.

However, the alchemists they faced were all masters and not easy to deal with.

It is indeed a bit difficult for one person to fight three people alone.

Seeing that the leading alchemist was about to approach Jiang Xue, she hurriedly blew the bamboo flute. With a series of rapid notes, a huge black python suddenly jumped out and tightly wrapped around the alchemist.

Although Danshi fought back hard and stabbed the knife into the black python's body, the python contracted even more due to the pain and almost swallowed him.

In the end, Danshi used his skills to temporarily avoid the fatal threat, but he also broke several ribs and his strength was greatly reduced.

Just when both sides were exhausted, a figure appeared like lightning and killed the leader of the Danshi with one knife.

The smell of blood filled the air again, and Jiang Xue recognized the person who came - Qiu Qianhuan.

She whispered the name, feeling mixed emotions.

Qiu Qianhuan pulled out the dagger that was stuck in the enemy's throat, and with a light wave he cleared the blood and restored the sword's original luster.

On the other side, Xiao Zhan also showed amazing fighting ability, defeating two opponents in succession. Qiu Qianhuan praised: "Your Highness Prince Gong is indeed brave."

At the same time, Si Ruochen also ended the battle.

Looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxue, who is this?"

Although the whole scene was tense and exciting, the crisis was finally resolved thanks to the efforts of several heroes.

After Xiao Zhan confirmed that those alchemists were no longer alive, he put away his sword and walked closer, staring at Qiu Qianhuan vigilantly.

"He was the one who helped me on the tower before." Jiang Xue explained, and then turned to Qiu Qianhuan, "I remember you were a member of the garrison, why are you here now?"

From the first moment she saw Qiu Qianhuan, she felt that he was different.

But she didn't expect that he would appear in front of her at this moment.

She thought that after that encounter on the city wall, they would never have any contact again.

"If I say that I joined the garrison just to be close to you, what about Princess Changle?" Qiu Qianhuan put the dagger on his shoulder and turned to look at her.

"You are not from Beixi." Xiao Zhan noticed that something was wrong with him.

The accent, the clothes, and the weapon in his hand all revealed it.

"What is your purpose in contacting Xiaoxue?" Xiao Zhan stood in front of Jiang Xue, holding a sword across his chest, and asked seriously.

"I want revenge, but my power is limited, so I want to find a strong backer. Ever since I learned about your identity, I have been eager to get to know you. I wonder if the princess is willing to give me this opportunity?"

Qiu Qianhuan said with a smile, but the dagger on his shoulder gave off a cold aura and a hint of murderous intent.

"What revenge do you want? Who do you have a grudge against?" This man was obviously very dangerous.

Jiang Xue exchanged glances with Xiao Zhan and Si Ruochen, and all three of them tacitly felt the same threat.

"Well!" Qiu Qianhuan tilted his head, "As long as the princess agrees to my request, I will naturally tell you."

"Why did you choose me?" If it was just to find a backer, there were many prestigious forces in the world, such as Prajna Pavilion, Shuoyue Gate, etc.

"Because the princess is a person who has been reborn from the ashes of a phoenix. She possesses an extraordinary destiny and courage, which is rare in this world." Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue developed murderous intent towards Qiu Qianhuan.

"Princess, please don't be so aggressive. I'm very timid. What if I get scared?" Qiu Qianhuan put down his dagger and saluted respectfully. "Following a legendary figure like you, I will definitely achieve something. I hope the princess will not despise me. How about letting me follow you?"

Qiu Qianhuan's words were full of mystery, which made Jiang Xue feel complicated.

"Xiaoxue, this person cannot be kept." Xiao Zhan frowned. He felt uneasy about the strange aura of Qiu Qianhuan.

"Oh, Your Highness Prince Gong, why must you be so impatient? Maybe I can help you achieve great things in the future." Qiu Qianhuan looked up, and a hint of cunning flashed in his slender eyes.

"Oh? Have you ever thought about the consequences before you say something like that?" Si Ruochen stood aside, looking him up and down, "Da Ying's weapons, Li Guo's fabrics, and Cheng Yuan's accent, these elements in you are too mixed.

If you are not deliberately hiding your true background, I really can't think of any other reason. How can we trust what you say when you dare not even confess your origins? "

"Your Highness, there must be some trust when traveling in the world, otherwise how can we cooperate?" Qiu Qianhuan responded.

Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows slightly and turned her gaze to Si Ruochen, and found that he also had a confused look on his face.

She knew that her senior brother had lived with his master in Changle Mountain since he was a child, and even he himself was not very clear about his origins.

But the man in front of him actually called him "Your Highness". Did he know something?

"How much do you know?" Jiang Xue was filled with questions. This person not only knew her secrets, but also knew her senior brother's background. Who was he?

"That's all for now," Qiu Qianhuan replied. "If Your Highness is willing, we can learn more slowly as we get along."

Jiang Xue stared at him for a long time, and finally nodded: "Put away your weapons and follow me."

"Thank you, Princess." Qiu Qianhuan put away his dagger with satisfaction, and followed the three people.

"Now, tell me, who is your enemy? Where are you from?" Jiang Xue stared at him, waiting for an answer.

"I was once a wandering swordsman in Chengyuan. I wandered around that land and made many like-minded friends. My life was pretty good. Until one day, we received an escort mission with a good reward. Although it was risky, we still accepted it. Unexpectedly, this mission almost wiped out our entire army."

Having said that, Qiu Qianhuan's fingers tightly grasped the handle of the knife, and his thumb was accidentally cut by the sharp blade, and blood slowly dripped along the blade.

"The swordsmen of Chengyuan..." Xiao Zhan suddenly realized: "A few years ago, I did hear that there was a famous team of wanderers in Chengyuan. All the members were highly skilled in martial arts, and the imperial court also tried to recruit them."

"Indeed, the imperial court was actively trying to recruit us." Qiu Qianhuan smiled bitterly, "If we had agreed at that time, perhaps we wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophic disaster."

"What secrets are hidden in that escort mission? Why did it lead to almost annihilation of your entire army?" Si Ruochen asked curiously.

"In fact, it was just a trap." Jiang Xue immediately understood the truth, "Emperor Chengyuan often uses such means to consolidate his power."

"The princess is indeed very smart." Qiu Qianhuan praised, "Yes, the mission was to take the opportunity to destroy us. They said they were escorting treasures to Daying, but the accompanying military commander took the opportunity to burn all the supplies. Emperor Chengyuan immediately ordered a massacre, and 3,000 soldiers besieged us. Although we resisted with all our might, we were ultimately defeated."
