My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

This maid is actually alright?

Helian Zhaoyue's expression changed slightly as she looked at the eldest princess who had made the move.

Before she could react, the old man who had been sitting in the corner of the carriage also made a swift move.

boom!

A terrifying force exploded inside the carriage in an instant.

The entire carriage, unable to withstand such force, instantly fell into pieces.

Jiang Xiaobai was already weak all over, and under the impact of this force, he was thrown to the side.

hiss!

The moment he landed, Jiang Xiaobai gasped, his gaze immediately turning to the Princess.

It was clear that the princess was swaying slightly, obviously putting on a brave face.

"Never mind me, take Miss Tang away, let's go!"

Jiang Xiaobai spoke weakly.

That's right. Although the princess can still move, she probably can't maintain this condition for long.

Since Helian Zhaoyue went to such great lengths to scheme against him, it was impossible for her to simply kill him.

But Tang Ningshuang is different. To prevent the news from leaking out, Helian Zhaoyue will definitely kill her!

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, the eldest princess frowned immediately.

She actually wanted to take Jiang Xiaobai with her.

However, as the intoxicating fragrance continued to spread within her body, her internal energy was already affected, and her speed would only decrease.

If she were to leave with Jiang Xiaobai, Helian Zhaoyue and the others would surely pursue her with all their might, and she feared she wouldn't be able to take any of them with her.

Taking Tang Ningshuang away was indeed the best choice.

After all... as long as one of them successfully leaves, Helian Zhaoyue won't dare to kill Jiang Xiaobai.

Thinking of this, the princess gave Jiang Xiaobai a deep look, raised her jade hand, and struck the old man with a palm.

After seeing this, the old man immediately took action again.

boom!

As the two terrifying forces collided, the princess used the recoil to pull herself to Tang Ningshuang's side, grab her, and then dashed away into the distance.

"Chase!"

Helian Zhaoyue's face darkened, and she immediately spoke.

Without the slightest hesitation, the old man took a step forward and was about to chase after him.

But just then, a deafening sound rang out from his side and behind him.

The old man's body suddenly jolted, and he turned around to look.

Jiang Xiaobai was lying on the ground, unconscious, but in his hand he was holding a strangely shaped object.

A faint wisp of smoke was rising from it.

Gudong!

The old man's throat moved, and he looked at the wall next to him.

A large hole had been blown open in the wall, and rubble was still falling down.

If Jiang Xiaobai hadn't been in poor condition, and this thing had been aimed at him, at such close range, he would have been severely injured, if not killed!

"Oh no!"

Then the old man suddenly remembered something and looked up.

But at this time, the Eldest Princess and Tang Ningshuang were nowhere to be seen.

"Wow, that's fast!"

The old man looked solemn.

Who exactly is that maid? How could she possess such power after being poisoned by the Drunken Immortal Incense?

"Forget it, don't chase after them!"

As Helian Zhaoyue's voice rang out, she slowly approached Jiang Xiaobai and bent down to pick up the Desert Eagle.

Upon seeing such a strange object, Helian Zhaoyue's expression changed slightly.

She had also clearly seen the scene of the flames bursting and instantly blasting the wall apart.

This item... is definitely not simple!

Helian Zhaoyue held it in her hand and examined it for a while, but she couldn't understand its structure.

In the end, Helian Zhaoyue could only put away the Desert Eagle and looked at the old man, saying, "Take him to the Court of State Ceremonial!"

At this point, Helian Zhaoyue paused slightly: "Put it on my bed!"

"yes!"

The old man nodded slightly, came to Jiang Xiaobai's side, grabbed him, and walked towards the Honglu Temple.

"Princess!"

At this moment, Teng Zixiu, accompanied by several people, came up from behind and glanced in the direction the princess had left: "Are we really not going to chase after those two?"

"If they bring the news back to the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence, won't it ruin our plan?"

"Won't!"

Helian Zhaoyue regained her composure: "This place is far from the Zhenbei Marquis's residence, and that expert is under the influence of the Drunken Immortal Incense; it's impossible for him to return immediately!"

"So there's still time!"

"That's good!"

Teng Zixiu breathed a sigh of relief, but soon he thought of something and his gaze fell on the gun in Helian Zhaoyue's hand, his face darkening.

That's right. He had been wondering for a long time how Jiang Xiaobai had managed to kill his family members.

So that's what it was all about!

……

the other side.

After rushing through several streets with Tang Ningshuang, the princess felt increasingly powerless.

In the end, the princess could only stop in a secluded alley, put Tang Ningshuang aside for the time being, and then sat down cross-legged.

As her internal energy circulated within her body, faint auras emanated from her.

That's right, although the Drunken Immortal Incense is powerful, it's not that easy to truly trap her!

Before we knew it, two hours had passed.

The princess's complexion gradually returned to normal, and the soreness and weakness in her body finally subsided.

After reopening her eyes, the princess did not linger. She grabbed Tang Ningshuang and rushed towards the Zhenbei Marquis's residence.

This matter must be reported to the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence as soon as possible!

Meanwhile, inside the Court of State Ceremonial.

Jiang Xiaobai's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

He was awake, but his whole body was still sore and weak.

Even moving a finger is extremely difficult.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xiaobai was about to check his surroundings when a cold voice sounded beside him: "Awake?"

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai turned his head with difficulty and saw Helian Zhaoyue leaning against the bed, looking at him with an icy expression.

Moreover, at this moment, Helian Zhaoyue was only wearing a close-fitting garment, with large expanses of her snow-white skin exposed.

"you……"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened immediately: "You wretched woman, you actually sent this young master to your little bed?"

"rest assured!"

Helian Zhaoyue coldly replied, "This princess has absolutely no interest in you. At most, I'll just have us take off our clothes!"

"And then, incidentally... put on a good show!"

"A good show?"

Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback for a moment, staring at Helian Zhaoyue for a while before chuckling, "You wouldn't be planning to let others see us sleeping together, would you?"

"Wouldn't that make people think that I, the young master, have a secret relationship with your Northern Yu?"

He now understood why Helian Zhaoyue had said she admired him in front of so many students at the Imperial Academy.

So this is what I was waiting for!

After all, putting these two things together can easily lead to misunderstandings.

The idea is indeed good, but the people of Dahua are not fools.

In these kinds of situations, as long as he insists that he was forced, he will ultimately get away scot-free.

"Hehe, young master, you are indeed... a clever man!"

Helian Zhaoyue looked at Jiang Xiaobai, a slight smile playing on her lips: "But this time, believe me, your Zhenbei Marquis's mansion is finished!"

"What's wrong!"

Jiang Xiaobai frowned upon hearing this: "You still have a backup plan?"

But as soon as Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and at the same time, the sound of breaking down the door rang out.

Several figures rushed in.

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned. He then saw Helian Zhaoyue scream and pull the blanket over herself: "Oh dear, Jiang Lang, I'm so scared! Quickly, get them out of here!"

"hiss……"
