This time, Lin Yuxin didn't leisurely watch the show. She took out her silver needles and quickly aimed them at the people around her.
Lin Yuxin's eyes were icy cold, and her body was agile. Every time she got close to someone, she would stab them directly at the back of the neck.
The person who was stabbed immediately closed their eyes and collapsed to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Yuxin was surrounded by fallen people, which made Xueying and the other person feel much more relaxed.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, Li Xiaochen was also in danger. His eyes were sharp and his face was expressionless as he looked at the soldiers and the people on horseback opposite him.
"King Qiling, you want to come to my Xia Kingdom as a guest, but you didn't even tell me, the host. Coming here without permission and bringing so many gifts, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
With a cold face, Li Xiaochen spoke in a chilling voice to the handsome old man opposite him, who was dressed in fine clothes and riding on horseback.
The implication was clear: anyone who dared to cause trouble in their Xia Kingdom would have to pay the price!
"Hehehe! Your Majesty is too kind. Of course, one should bring a gift when visiting. But didn't you find out about me before I even entered the door?"
King Qiling smiled, understanding the unspoken meaning in Li Xiaochen's words, but spoke without any concern, though there was no smile in his eyes.
"Now that I have discovered this, I request that King Qiling return. If you wish to visit the Xia Kingdom next time, please send an invitation to our Emperor! Otherwise, your actions will easily arouse suspicion that your Northern Frontier is plotting something!"
Li Xiaochen ignored whether what he said was true or false and immediately began to tell him to leave.
"Hehehe, Regent, you're still as confident as ever. Look, you're all alone today, and you're injured. Do you think you still have the ability to send me back? And even in this state, do you think I'll let you go?"
"If I were to kill you and take your head, do you think the Holy Maiden of the Northern Frontier would ask me to be her husband? Or that your Xia Kingdom would be utterly defeated? Wouldn't it be as easy for me to attack Xia Kingdom then? Hahahaha!"
King Qiling looked around and saw that Li Xiaochen was all alone and injured. He thought that Li Xiaochen was doomed today, so he started to dream about the good things in life. He even laughed happily at the end.
Li Xiaochen looked at him coldly and smiled, his right hand holding the sword, ready to strike at any moment.
"Then bring it on! If I let you take even one step, I'll consider myself the loser!"
Li Xiaochen spoke calmly and expressionlessly, as if his injuries had no effect on him at all.
He knew he had been lured here by them. After leaving the secret room and entering the mountain, he was attacked by a constant stream of people. Although those controlled people were not very strong, he could not fight against so many people!
His men were either dead or wounded.
It seems they wanted to lure him here and kill him. Before entering the secret passage, he sent a message to the emperor, hoping that the emperor would be more vigilant and take precautions in advance.
However, he could not let these people succeed today. It didn't matter if he died, but if these people took this step, then there would inevitably be a war between Xia Kingdom and the Northern Frontier.
"Good! I admire the Regent's ability and determination! Go! Whoever can take the Regent's head will receive ten thousand taels of silver and be granted an official position."
Seeing that Li Xiaochen had such backbone, King Qiling waved his hand and gave the order directly.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men, and Li Xiaochen is currently alone, making him even easier to deal with.
Upon hearing of the numerous rewards, the group of subordinates surrounding King Qiling immediately became excited, drew their swords, and charged towards Li Xiaochen.
King Qiling, mounted on his horse, clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and admired Li Xiaochen's disheveled appearance.
Li Xiaochen was his nightmare, or rather, the nightmare of several other countries!
After the Zhao family army of Xia Kingdom was defeated, Li Xiaochen appeared out of nowhere.
After that, whenever the two countries went to war, as long as Li Xiaochen was in command, he could not gain the upper hand. Even he himself had suffered at Li Xiaochen's hands.
This has prevented him from making any rash moves in recent years, while Xia Kingdom is a highly desirable country with a superior geographical location and environment.
Unlike their northern frontier, which, although separated from the Xia Kingdom by only one mountain, is a frigid land.
Grain was hard to grow, so every year they had to rely on bartering with other countries and raising some cold-resistant poultry to make a living.
So how could the Northern Frontier not want to take over the Xia Kingdom?
However, there is one difference: there is no emperor in the Northern Frontier, only a Holy Maiden. All the women in the Northern Frontier can raise Gu worms, but the Holy Maiden can control them. Therefore, the Holy Maiden has been revered in the Northern Frontier for many years.
Over the years, without the help of Gu worms, they would never have been able to gain any advantage from other countries.
This was something he and the Holy Maiden had been plotting for years, all to get rid of Li Xiaochen first, so that the Xia Kingdom would be theirs for the taking.
Thinking of this, King Qiling felt much better. He was pleased to see Li Xiaochen fighting back in the crowd.
While Li Xiaochen was putting up a fierce resistance, Lin Yuxin had just finished her battle.
Lin Yuxin sat on the ground to rest for a while, and then went to check Xueying's wounds.
"How about it?"
"It's nothing, Princess, it's just a superficial injury."
Xueying looked at his wound. There was only one tooth mark on his arm. It was from when three people attacked him. He hadn't noticed and was bitten. It was already bleeding.
Lin Yuxin checked him over and found no other injuries, so she applied medicine to him.
Wang Yu wasn't injured, but he was covered in blood.
After eating its fill, Zhizhi had already hidden in Lin Yuxin's sleeve and was fast asleep.
The Gu worms inside the people on the ground had been mostly eaten by Zhizhi. Lin Yuxin checked their pulses and said that they should be fine after waking up.
