The night was as dark as ink and so quiet that one could almost hear people's heartbeats.

Beichen Yuan, who was handling official business next door, frowned, with a hint of uneasiness between his brows.

He walked slowly to the door of Lin Xilan's guest room.

Slowly pushed open the door.

Because of this sudden change, Lin Xilan had not slept well for several nights. He didn't want to disturb her sleep, so he walked into the room with extreme caution, for fear of making any sound.

However, when he walked into the inner room, what caught his eye was an empty bed.

The bedding on the bed was messy. It was obvious that Lin Xilan got up and ran away in a hurry and didn't even bother to tidy it up.

Beichen Yuan's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition arose.

problem occurs!

"Xi Lan!" He called softly, but the only response he got was the sound of the night wind blowing through the window lattice.

His expression changed slightly.

I was handling official business next door, so Lin Xilan must have been forced to do so!

Thinking of this, Beichen Yuan’s brows furrowed even more.

The uneasiness in my heart surged like the tide.

He looked around, trying to find any possible clues.

However, apart from the mess on the bed, everything in the room seemed to remain the same, and there were no signs of a fight at the scene.

Just when he was extremely confused, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind him.

I saw a flash of cold light, and a sharp sword stabbed over silently.

The tip of the sword flashed a cold light in the moonlight, carrying a deadly murderous intent. Fortunately, Beichen Yuan reacted extremely quickly. His body instinctively leaned back and narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

"Oh, you kidnapped my princess? Give her back to me!"

Beichen Yuan swung his sword to meet the attack. The sword light was like water, interweaving with the black shadow's attack, making a crisp sound of metal collision.

The sword lights intertwined.

Murder is everywhere.

The battle unfolded quietly in the night...

……

Lin Xilan brought someone with her and, after many twists and turns, finally arrived at the inn.

However, the sight before her gave her a chill.

The inn was dead silent, as if even the air had frozen, without a trace of life. This eerie silence made the hairs on her body stand up.

"How is this going?"

Lin Xilan's voice trembled. She tightly grasped Xiao Wuchen's arm and asked harshly:

"Didn't your people say they wouldn't kill innocent people?"

Xiao Wuchen's face looked a little cold under the moonlight. He seemed to want to explain, but when his eyes met Lin Xilan's ugly face, his eyes suddenly sank.

He avoided her questioning gaze.

"Lin Xilan, shouldn't you thank me? If it weren't for me, one of the bodies lying on the ground would definitely be yours."

"I……"

Lin Xilan was furious. Faced with so many corpses, she didn't expect Xiao Wuchen to have such an attitude.

This is too indifferent!

Oh.

She forgot!

The man next to me is a killer!

She expected the other party to have any feelings for her!

A surge of anger surged in Lin Xilan's heart. She said no more and directly dragged Xiao Wuchen with simple and rough movements, almost half-dragging him to the second floor of the inn.

Falling down the stairs.

The scene before us was even more shocking.

The corpses were lying on the ground in all directions, some were twisted, and some were covered in blood!

The entire inn seemed like a slaughterhouse, with blood everywhere. Looking at Xiao Wuchen beside her, dressed in black and without a speck of dust on his body, Lin Xilan really wanted to kill him with a single knife!

As she approached her room, she could hear the faint sounds of fighting.

Lin Xilan's heart suddenly tightened.

Quickly quickened the pace.

ear.

Beichen Yuan's voice came:

"Where did you take my princess?"

"Death is imminent, the Regent should pay more attention to himself!"

"We have taken care of all the people outside, so this time, even if a god comes, he can't save you!"

"Hahaha……"

"..."

Lin Xilan had a blank expression on her face. She looked at Xiao Wuchen in her hand. The other party frowned, seeming to be annoyed that he could not move at the moment.

Push open the half-open door.

Beichen Yuan was seen fighting fiercely with a group of men in black, their swords flashing like lightning and full of murderous intent. One of the men in black quietly went around behind Beichen Yuan, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

“Stop!” Lin Xilan’s voice was as cold as ice. She shouted, “Your boss is in my hands. If you don’t stop, I will kill him!”

Subsequently.

As her voice fell, everyone's eyes turned to her.

All I saw was Lin Xilan coming back, holding a man in a nightgown in his hand. That would have been fine, but his face was covered with a piece of blue cloth.

nondescript.

It looked like it was torn off Lin Xilan's sleeve.

Xiao Wuchen: “…”

He felt like he had lost all his face!

Lin Xilan said coldly: "Do you know this man in my hand? Your leader, let my husband go, otherwise I will have to use him as the first mover."

talking.

The dagger in her hand was against the other's neck. She looked at them with a smile and spoke in a low voice.

"You'd better cooperate, Master Xiao, or my dagger won't have eyes."

Xiao Wuchen chuckled.

He slowly closed his eyes and said, "Let him go."

The assassins looked at each other in bewilderment. They couldn't see Xiao Wuchen's face, nor could they recognize his figure. Most importantly -

That person didn't even have the mark of his organization on his neck!

So, is the other party teasing them?

"Lin Xilan!"

Beichen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his mood, which had been so tangled and angry that he wanted to kill everyone, suddenly calmed down for the first time in his life.

She is fine.

"Are you still not letting him go? If you don't, I will really do it!"

Lin Xilan gestured with her dagger on Xiao Wuchen's neck. Those people looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Lin Xilan.

A fierce battle officially begins!

“No way, they’re going to kill their own people?” Lin Xilan was speechless.

"Who said these are my people? They are not. How could I send people to kill the Regent!" Xiao Wuchen retorted. His movements were agile and every attack was extremely precise.

Lin Xilan, "..."

Beichen Yuan didn't say much.

The three of them cooperated well with each other. Although their fighting styles were different, they formed a wonderful harmony at this moment.

The battle was fierce and brutal, with enemies coming in like a tide, but the three of them were as solid as a rock.

at last.

After a hard fight, the enemy began to be defeated.

Until the last enemy is killed!

The three fought side by side and the war ended.

Beichen Yuan watched them leave coldly until they disappeared from view, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them walked out of the inn slowly. Just before mounting their horses, Beichen Yuan thanked Xiao Wuchen indifferently, and then rode away with Lin Xilan.

"Beichen Yuan, do you think that person is... quite mysterious?"
