The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Qiu Kaiyu did not answer Xie Fei's question. He just glanced coldly at the enemies on the battlefield, and then slowly said: "Go quickly! I will stop them!"

His voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained endless majesty and domineering. His appearance seemed to bring a glimmer of hope to Xie Fei, Rong Qing and Tian Yi Zhenren. So, they all nodded, and then took advantage of Qiu Kaiyu's opportunity to block the enemy and quickly fled the battlefield.

In the night, Qiu Kaiyu stood like a god of war. He swung the sword in his hand like a tornado, slashing the enemies one after another. His sword skills were sharp and accurate, and every move contained deadly killing intent. For a moment, he was the only one left on the battlefield. And all the enemies had fallen under his sword.

When Xie Fei, Rong Qing and Tian Yi Zhenren escaped from the battlefield, they looked back and saw Qiu Kaiyu's figure had disappeared into the night. His appearance and disappearance were as mysterious as a ghost, making it impossible to understand.

"Why is he here? And why would he save us?" Rong Qing asked puzzledly.

Xie Fei was silent after hearing this, her heart was full of doubts and emotions. She knew Qiu Kaiyu was a mysterious person, and every move he made seemed to contain some deep meaning. And the relationship between her and Qiu Kaiyu was like a fog that made it impossible to see clearly.

The night was as dark as ink, and the sky of Yongzhou seemed to be covered by a thick veil, with the stars and the moon hidden. Under this deep night, an assassination incident that shocked the whole city happened quietly, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves.

Xiao Guang, a powerful noble in Yongzhou City, was attacked by unknown assassins in his mansion overnight. When the news came out, the whole city was shocked. People speculated whether there was an unknown power struggle behind this, or whether the grudges and hatreds buried for many years finally broke out?

At this time, Xie Fei, a graceful woman with extraordinary temperament, was hurriedly passing through the courtyards of the Xiao Mansion and heading straight to Xiao Yan's study. There was a bit of anxiety in her steps, and the lantern in her hand swayed gently in the breeze, as if reflecting her inner uneasiness.

"Xiao Yan, something bad has happened!" Xie Fei couldn't wait to shout as soon as he entered the door, with a trembling voice.

Xiao Yan, another force that cannot be ignored in Yongzhou City, was sitting at his desk, holding an ancient book in his hand, with a frown on his face, as if he had already anticipated the unrest tonight. He looked up at the sound, his eyes deep, as if he could see through people's hearts: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Xiao Guang... Xiao Guang was assassinated!" Xie Fei's voice was a little choked. She was well aware of the complexity and difficulty behind this matter.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan couldn't help but drop the ancient book in his hand. He stood up, his eyes flickering: "Sure enough, he did it after all. But this move was too ruthless, and he actually aimed it directly at Xiao Guang."

"What should we do?" Xie Fei asked anxiously. She knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly, it would not only affect Xiao Yan's reputation, but might also push the entire Xiao Mansion to the forefront.

Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and slowly spoke: "There must be something fishy about this. Xiao Guang was assassinated, the scene was chaotic, and the assassin ran away after one strike. No one could see his appearance clearly. This is clearly done deliberately by someone with ulterior motives to confuse people."

"Then... who could it be?" Xie Fei asked, feeling vaguely uneasy.

"Whoever most hopes that something bad will happen to Xiao Guang is the biggest suspect." Xiao Yan's voice was cold, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

As the two were discussing, a burst of hurried footsteps interrupted their thoughts. A guard rushed in with a pale face, "Sir, it's bad! Jiang Chenyuan, Xiao Guang's capable general, is spreading rumors everywhere, saying that you have a feud with Xiao Guang and may be colluding with the Demon Sect, and is using this to kill people to silence them!"

"Demon Sect?" Xiao Yan sneered, "This is a really serious charge. It seems that they are planning to drag me into the quagmire completely."

Xie Fei's face changed when he heard this: "This... What should I do? The whole Yongzhou is full of rumors, saying that this matter is related to you. If this continues, you might..."

"I'm afraid I'll be dismissed from the army and even ruined." Xiao Yan took over the conversation, but there was no fear in his tone, but instead a firmness, "But, am I Xiao Yan someone who can be manipulated by others? I will find out the truth of this matter and clear my name."

As the night deepened, the lights in the Xiao Mansion were still bright. Xiao Yan stood in front of the window of the study, staring at the darkness outside, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that this crisis was not only a test for him personally, but also a challenge for the entire Xiao Mansion.

"Xie Fei," he suddenly turned around and looked at the woman beside him with a determined look, "You go to Jiang Chenyuan's place immediately and find out what he has to say. Find out how much evidence he has and who is behind this."

Xie Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Yes, I'll go right away. But... you have to be careful, there must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."

"I know my limits." Xiao Yan smiled slightly, with both confidence and helplessness in his smile, "Go ahead, be careful."
