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

Qiu Qianhuan asked, "Have you resolved the issue over there?" Xiao Zhan did not answer directly. He just glanced at Si Ruochen's blood-stained white silk and realized that they had encountered the enemy's secret guards.

Every battle is an opportunity for Xiao Zhan to improve, especially when fighting against those alchemists with extraordinary abilities.

These special opponents allowed him to grow more than in ordinary battles, and his swordsmanship improved as a result.

In this turbulent era, only by constantly strengthening ourselves can we protect everything we cherish.

"Yes, it's solved." Si Ruochen frowned and looked at his dirty white silk, then walked to the lake to wash it, "Xiao Yan sent a lot of people here this time."

Jiang Xue was checking the bodies and found a flare unique to Beixi around the waist of one of them.

"It seems that Shangguan Jin not only has dealings with Feng Qiyuan, but also has reached an agreement with Xiao Yan." She said in a deep voice.

This meant that the road to Changle would be full of dangers. Before these obstacles were completely cleared, they could not go to Changle Mountain for the time being. After a sleepless night cleaning up the battlefield, the group hurriedly set off.

"There is a small town ahead. We can find an inn to rest tonight." Qiu Qianhuan mentioned while driving the carriage.

Si Ruochen sat on the other side to get some fresh air, looking at the town ahead, and shouted into the car.

"That's right, the carriage also needs repairs." Xiao Zhan responded.

Because the rear end of the car was damaged in the previous attack and cold wind blew in at night, he had long planned to repair it to prevent Jiang Xue from catching a cold.

It was already dusk when they arrived at the town. The inn was full, but luckily a table of guests had just left, leaving room for the four of them.

"Sir, please sit here." The waiter greeted them warmly and quickly tidied the table for the four of them to sit down.

In this small place with only one inn, such lively scenes are not uncommon.

"Sir, are you looking for a meal or a night's accommodation?" The waiter swiftly brought the tea and greeted warmly.

These four guests were extraordinary and well-dressed, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary people. They must have been generous.

"Prepare three of the best rooms for us." Xiao Zhan casually threw a piece of silver to the waiter. The waiter took it with a look of joy on his face and immediately went to arrange it.

It seems that he has really met a noble person. Maybe he can even buy a pair of gold hairpins for his wife when he goes back tonight!

"Three rooms?" Si Ruochen narrowed his eyes, revealing a sly look on his face, his gaze moving between Jiang Xue and Xiao Zhan, "Xiao Zhan, my senior brother is still here. After all, I am half your brother-in-law, right? It's not appropriate to take advantage of your junior sister in front of me."

"Since you said you are my half-brother-in-law, doesn't that mean you acknowledge that Xiaoxue is my wife? What's wrong with a husband and wife living in the same room?" Xiao Zhan took a sip of tea and smiled equally cunningly.

Jiang Xue, who was standing next to her, blushed slightly and muttered to herself: It's really embarrassing for these two people to make such a joke in public.

She took out two golden needles from her sleeves and placed them on the table: "I haven't practiced much these past few days, so my hands are a bit rusty. Do you two want to practice with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two people who had been teasing each other just now froze immediately, tacitly shut up and drank their tea without saying anything more.

"Oh, after such a long journey, your Highnesses are still in good spirits." Qiu Qianhuan said with a smile, supporting his head.

At this time, a group of people carrying loads came to the door. "Hey, how many guests are there?" The waiter saw this and hurried forward to greet them.

Qiu Qianhuan glanced at the newcomers and recognized them as the people he had met on the road before.

"These people are not simple." He said to Jiang Xue.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xue followed his gaze.

"When our carriage passed them, they were still quite far away from here. It took us nearly three hours to get here. But they arrived almost at the same time as us, which shows that they have extraordinary running speed."

"They have steady steps and move quickly. These people are very skilled in Qinggong. They are definitely not ordinary people."

Xiao Zhan looked at it carefully, secretly puzzled.

"Why are these people so good at martial arts? What treasures are hidden in their boxes?"

Jiang Xue estimated the size of the box, and thought it should hold a lot of stuff. But when those people put down the box, their movements were surprisingly relaxed, and it was obvious that there wasn't much stuff in the box.

"We'll know once we take a look," Xiao Zhan said.

"Prepare two tables of food and four guest rooms for us." The leader threw over a bag of silver, which was quite heavy.

"Oh, sir, you gave too much. Two tables of food and four rooms would not cost so much." The waiter said in surprise.

Although it is a good idea to charge more, you can't ask for too much. This bag of silver is enough to buy the entire inn.

If we really accept it, won’t we be called a shady shop?

“The excess should be regarded as compensation for any losses you may suffer,” the man said.

As soon as the words fell, the group of people suddenly turned around and attacked Jiang Xue and the others like lightning.

With a loud bang, the entire inn was suddenly filled with dust.

The place where Jiang Xue and others were originally sitting was against the wall, and now a big hole has been smashed in the wall.

"Run away!"

Seeing this, other guests ran away in panic, fearing that they would die if they were a step slower.

The waiter also hid behind the counter, hugging the bag of silver tightly and trembling.

It's over, it's over. This inn is going to be ruined! If the innkeeper knew about this, he would be so angry that he would faint!

"Everyone, we have never met before, why do we have to fight as soon as we meet?"

When the smoke and dust cleared, the four of them stood on two sides. Xiao Zhan held Jiang Xue and stood on a high place, while Qiu Qianhuan and Si Ruochen were on the other side.

The dagger in Qiu Qianhuan's hand was already unsheathed, and at his feet lay the rubble he had split open.

His eyes revealed a strong murderous intent that caused the attackers on the opposite side to tremble slightly.

What a strong momentum!

This invisible pressure makes people feel a chill involuntarily.

The man had a smile on his face, but that smile seemed to come from hell, making people shudder.

"We only want his life, everyone else please move aside." The leading man pointed at Si Ruochen, his voice deep and powerful.

"Senior Brother, did you offend someone while traveling outside?" Jiang Xue was very surprised that these people wanted to take Si Ruochen's life by name.

Senior Brother has always been smooth in dealing with things and never easily makes enemies with others. So why would this group of people want to kill him?

"Do you think I know the truth?" Si Ruochen spread out his hands, obviously he was also at a loss.

He had been making friends with people for many years and never made enemies. He was really surprised that this group of people wanted to kill him out of the blue.

"Do you have any grudge against me?" Si Ruochen took a step forward with a cold tone.

Those people remained silent.

"Have I ever offended any of you?"

Still no one responded.
