"Holy Maiden, should we take her back for proper interrogation?"
A maidservant leaned over and whispered something.
"Take it with you! We'll talk about it when we get back; we can't stay here any longer."
The saintess nodded and said in a cold voice.
Then two women came up, one on each side, and grabbed Lin Yuxin, preparing to leave.
They had only taken a few steps when they realized something was wrong, and the woman in black who was leading them immediately knelt on the ground.
"Saintess!"
Upon seeing this, the surrounding maids all gasped in surprise!
The saintess clutched her chest, a sharp pain shooting through her. What was wrong with her?
Then she suddenly remembered something, turned her head to look at Lin Yuxin, and saw that Lin Yuxin still had a dazed expression, and was looking at her with a wicked smile, provocatively.
"That bug from earlier, it was you!"
The saintess reacted and pointed at Lin Yuxin angrily.
The surrounding maids also reacted and drew their swords at Lin Yuxin.
The two maids supporting Lin Yuxin suddenly pulled their hands back, then clutched their arms and screamed in agony.
"ah!!"
Lin Yuxin immediately stopped, straightened her clothes, looked at the so-called saintess, and her previous dazed expression vanished. A wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips as she spoke:
"Hehe, since the Holy Maiden of the Northern Frontier has come to my Xia Kingdom as a guest, as a princess, I must invite you to stay as a guest."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and clapped in the air.
"Slap! Slap!"
A group of people suddenly appeared and surrounded the men in black.
"Hehe, as expected of a goddess, you do have some tricks up your sleeve. But how did you know we were from the Northern Frontier?"
When the Holy Maiden saw that she was surrounded, her expression changed immediately! She stared intently at Lin Yuxin and asked in confusion.
"Oh dear! This is all thanks to the Gu poison you gave Shufang. At first, I didn't know your true identity. I thought it was some blind fool colluding with the Northern Frontier to harm us."
"However, it was only when your subordinates called you Holy Maiden that I realized you are the top leader of the Northern Frontier, Holy Maiden Shangguan Yan. But I am very curious, why would a Holy Maiden like you travel thousands of miles to my Xia Kingdom just to capture me? What Gu King are you looking for? And why do you call me Goddess?"
Lin Yuxin calmly looked at Shangguan Yan and began to answer her questions one by one with great interest. However, she still had many questions, so she looked at Shangguan Yan lying on the ground and asked.
Shangguan Yan didn't answer Lin Yuxin's question. Instead, she looked at Lin Yuxin with a serious expression and asked only one question:
Do you actually possess the Gu King?
"Gu King? What is that? I don't like raising insects."
Lin Yuxin denied it outright with a calm expression.
Seeing Lin Yuxin's confident answer, Shangguan Yan was suspicious for a long time before finally concluding that Lin Yuxin really did not have the Gu King, and that Xue Ji was deceiving her.
Shangguan Yan was filled with hatred. When she got back, she was determined to throw Xue Ji into the poisonous den!
"This holy maiden came to Xia Kingdom to find the Gu King, a divine beast of our northern border. Our country values it highly. If we have offended you in any way, I hope the princess will not hold it against us and will let us go back."
After thinking for a moment, the saintess realized that their situation was very bad and decided to leave first. So she could only bow her head to Lin Yuxin and apologize.
"Your Majesty, you are still too naive. Do you think you can come and go as you please in our Xia Kingdom? Since you're here, why don't you come with us to the capital as our guests!"
Lin Yuxin, hearing her shameless attempt to leave, stopped her and told her to return to Beijing with them.
She brought the Holy Maiden of the Northern Frontier back to the capital. She'd see if the Northern Frontier would dare to cause trouble again, unless they replaced her with a different Holy Maiden.
And once you're here, you can't just leave!
“Princess Pingning, don’t push your luck. If you try to keep us here, the consequences will be too great for a princess to bear! Do you want war between our two countries?”
Seeing that she couldn't leave, the saintess became anxious and her tone sharpened.
"Oh? Then let me see what the consequences will be! If war breaks out, this princess has nothing to fear!"
Lin Yuxin acted as if she were completely unfazed, and after speaking, she waved her hand. The surrounding guards swarmed forward and started fighting with the maids.
These bodyguards were assigned to Lin Yuxin by Li Xiaochen after she was almost robbed at the inn last time. They were hidden everywhere, wherever people couldn't be seen.
Lin Yuxin was lucky to have good eyesight and noticed it a few times; otherwise, she wouldn't have known that Li Xiaochen had arranged so many people around her that it was practically a sieve.
Many people in the northern border region know how to use Gu poison, especially women, and those around the Holy Maiden.
So when the maids saw that they couldn't win by force, they started to use dirty tricks and poison!
Some of the secret guards were unfortunately infected with the Gu poison, and some of them vomited blood on the spot.
Lin Yuxin had been observing the movements of these Northern Frontier people from the outside, fearing that her own people might suffer a loss. But she actually saw these women resorting to underhanded tactics and even injuring her own people. Her expression instantly changed, and she lost all interest in watching the show.
Anyone who dares to hurt her has a death wish! These were all given to her by Ah Chen!!
These bastards, daring to play dirty tricks, think they're so great just because they know Gu? No, we still have to summon Zizi!
Lin Yuxin's expression turned serious. After thinking for a moment, she shouted to her people:
"spread!"
The guards were very obedient and reacted quickly, stopping their movements in unison and retreating.
Lin Yuxin seized the opportunity and waved her hand at the group of women. A deafening tiger's roar was heard.
"Awoo!!"
The tiger's appearance startled everyone around. Where did it come from? Where was it just a moment ago? Did it suddenly appear?
Not only were the people of the northern frontier shocked, but even the secret guards were equally astonished, and they felt that the tiger looked somewhat familiar!
