The capital city was the most central place in the entire Xia Dynasty.
This place brought together the wealth of the entire dynasty and various forces, and the relationships among them were intricate and complex.
Because Qin Xin was only at the initial stage of the Spirit Body Realm, his spiritual sense flowed from his sea of consciousness and floated on his face, making it impossible for ordinary martial artists to recognize his features.
However, this method can only be maintained for a certain period of time. Once the spiritual consciousness is exhausted, this disguise technique will also disappear.
Qin Xin has now ventured alone into the tiger's den. If he is discovered, there is a high probability that he will be torn to pieces.
However, Qin Xin was not worried.
The news that Zhennan Army had returned to the capital has caused widespread panic among everyone in the capital.
However, with the presence of the dynasty's army, the capital was relatively orderly and no different from usual.
However, the guards at the city entrance are much stricter than before, in order to prevent spies from entering.
When Qin Xin arrived at the city gate of the capital, he looked at the three gilded characters of "Great Xia City" above and felt a sense of aversion.
The extravagance in this capital city is extremely serious, and in order to maintain this extravagance, heavy taxes must be levied, which makes it difficult for some small families to breathe.
Qin Xin didn't know what other dynasties were like, but it was no wonder that the Eastern Wilderness became increasingly barren, just like the Great Xia Dynasty.
To avoid being discovered, Qin Xin did not linger at the city gate for too long. He suppressed his aura before walking towards the entrance of the city gate.
By altering his appearance with his spiritual sense and concealing his cultivation aura, Qin Xin is now just an ordinary martial artist at the Qi Opening Realm.
As a result, Qin Xin quickly passed the questioning of the guards at the city gate of the Great Xia Dynasty and soon entered the capital.
Walking on the streets of the capital, Qin Xin felt the bustling traffic and lively markets. It seemed that he was completely unaffected by the Zhennan Army, and everything was as usual.
Qin Xin weaved through the crowd, and through his spiritual sense, he also detected the conversations of many people.
I also heard that the Great Xia Dynasty has now received help from the Celestial Masters Sect.
Qin Xin was also a little puzzled when he heard this, because sects were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the secular world, whether in the Eastern Wilderness or elsewhere.
It wasn't until he heard that all the disciples of the Celestial Masters Sect had left the sect and joined the royal family of the Great Xia Dynasty that Qin Xin finally understood.
I don't have a very deep impression of Qin Xin from the Celestial Masters Sect, but I do know that these people always like to dabble in things like feng shui, metaphysics, and fortune telling.
In recent years, thanks to the cooperation between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Heavenly Master Sect, the sect has begun to flourish, even surpassing the reputation of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, and has thus recruited many outstanding talents.
After gathering some information, Qin Xin intended to find an inn to stay in temporarily, and then go out at night to quietly investigate further.
After all, there are fewer people at night, making it much easier to get things done.
Just as Qin Xin was passing by a magnificent mansion, he saw a girl with a black and dirty face crawling out of a dog hole.
"Xiaomei?"
Upon seeing the girl, Qin Xin felt a sense of familiarity. After carefully identifying her with his spiritual sense, he confirmed it.
Qin Xin was curious as to why Xiao Mei, who was originally Princess Xia Yue's personal maid, would appear here.
Quietly following behind her, I discovered that there were also two people secretly following Xiaomei.
After Xiaomei entered a dead end, the two men blocked her way, their eyes revealing an undisguised evil, as if they intended to do something bad to her.
"What do you want to do!"
"I am someone who serves the princess!"
Xiaomei naturally recognized the two people who had followed her, and angrily cursed at them.
However, the two were not afraid at all, and even smiled as they approached Xiaomei.
"So what if the people around the princess can do this? They really don't know what's good for them!"
"They actually wanted to go out and find reinforcements!"
"Before we kill you, serve us well first. If you make us comfortable, we might spare your life!"
The two men wore lewd grins.
"Click! Click!"
Just as the two were preparing to get closer to Xiaomei.
In an instant, their heads were separated from their bodies. The severed heads had their mouths wide open, but no sound could be uttered from their throats.
A pair of wide eyes stared intently at the fallen bodies until the unfamiliar figure behind them appeared, and only then did the two breathe their last.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and even Xiaomei was terrified.
"You...you are!"
Xiaomei retreated backward in fear.
Seeing Xiaomei's appearance, Qin Xin suddenly remembered something. He then gently waved his hand across his face, directly withdrawing his spiritual sense, and his true appearance was revealed.
"You are Qin Xin!"
Xiaomei instantly recognized herself and involuntarily opened her mouth wide in surprise.
Qin Xin quickly pointed to Xiao Mei and gestured for her to keep her voice down. After all, if she were discovered in the capital, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Qin Xin, please save my princess!"
Xiao Mei ran straight to Qin Xin's side with a tearful voice and said aggrievedly.
Qin Xin had also heard some things about Xia Yue, and now that he had run into her, he naturally wanted to help her if he could.
After all, Xia Yue is a princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, and she should know a lot about the royal family. It might be easier to find Qin Lin and Qin Qianfan through her.
Led by Xiaomei, Qin Xin and she arrived at a relatively remote manor.
Apart from Xiaomei, no one else knew about the manor Xia Yue had purchased, so it was very safe.
After entering, Qin Xin saw some girls' underwear, which was similar to what he had seen on Xia Yue before, so he confirmed that Xia Yue often came here.
However, I'm just a bit lazy, and I just leave these clothes lying around.
Xiaomei naturally noticed the clothes as well, and quickly squatted down to start tidying them up, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Weren't you all at the Spirit Beast Sect? Why did you all suddenly return to the Eastern Wilderness?"
Seeing Xiaomei squatting on the ground tidying up, Qin Xin asked her a question, somewhat puzzled.
"We were cultivating well at the Spirit Beast Sect when we received an imperial edict from King Xia, ordering us to return."
"But as soon as he returned to the capital, he was immediately placed under house arrest."
"I heard that the second prince has inherited the throne and now wants to form a marriage alliance with the Nguyen clan, and will marry the princess to Nguyen Ju."
"That Ruan Ju is no younger than the King of Xia, and he already has three wives. The Second Prince is truly a scoundrel!"
As soon as Xia Yue's story was mentioned, tears welled up in Xiao Mei's eyes.
"Then how did you manage to sneak out? Did Princess Xia Yue send you out to find reinforcements?"
Seeing Xiaomei crying like this, Qin Xin felt a bit of a headache and immediately changed the subject.
"No, I ran away secretly."
"After she learned that you had returned to the Eastern Wilderness, I wanted to go to see you, but the princess wouldn't allow it."
"But heaven rewards those who persevere, and I have finally found you."
As Xiaomei spoke, tears streamed down her cheeks.
Hearing this, Qin Xin couldn't help but sigh.
He still felt somewhat indebted to Xia Yue. Not only had he seen her body, but she had also saved him in the city of Kuye. He felt guilty if he let her go.
"Is there any way to sneak me into the palace? I want to see Princess Xia Yue."
"There are solutions, but it might require some compromise from you."
After hearing that Qin Xin wanted to help, Xiao Mei finally smiled.
