Mu Wenyao wanted to persist, but was knocked unconscious by him.
"Has Pavilion Master Xiang returned?" Sikong Zhan knew that Xiang Yuanqing had something that could help him find Lin Jinghan quickly. Now he began to regret why he didn't ask Xiang Yuanqing for this thing.
At dawn, Xiang Yuanqing had already returned. However, the disappearance of the princess was a serious matter, and Xiang Yuanqing was an outsider after all. Mu Wenyao ordered everyone not to leak the news, and was anxious to find someone, completely forgetting Xiang Yuanqing, so Xiang Yuanqing was not aware of this.
Sikong Zhan found Xiang Yuanqing and told him frankly that Lin Jinghan had been arrested and the people who arrested her might do something bad to her.
Xiang Yuanqing was worried about Lin Jinghan's safety, so he didn't care about anything else and took out Qianxun Chan. The two followed Qianxun Chan to an inn - which was the inn where Baili Zhe had stayed before!
No wonder Mu Wenyao couldn't find Lin Jinghan after searching all over the capital. It turned out that Baili Zhe had staged an empty city plan. On the surface, he evacuated the place, but in fact he moved to the dark corner of the inn.
The commander surrounded the inn, and Sikong Zhan led his men into the inn and took control of everyone in the inn.
Qianxun Chan flew for a long time but still couldn't get in. Xiang Yuanqing sighed and put Qianxun Chan away. Sikong Zhan grabbed the innkeeper and asked, "Where is the person who rented your inn a few days ago?"
"Let's go, let's go..." The shopkeeper trembled, very scared.
Sikong Zhan's eyes were as cold as Shura's. He took out a dagger and nailed it to the shopkeeper's hand on the table. "Tell the truth, or die!"
"Ah!" The shopkeeper was so frightened that he thought his hand was going to be broken. He begged for mercy loudly: "I really don't know!"
After he finished speaking, he realized that there was no pain in his hand. The dagger had just been stuck between his fingers. He was so scared that he was paralyzed. He begged for mercy again and again, "That man left a day ago. I'm just an innkeeper. I really don't know where the guest went!"
"If you don't tell the truth, I will kill one person every time I count to three, until you tell the truth! One, two, three! Kill!" Sikong Zhan gave the ruthless order.
To find his princess, even if he has to kill everyone in the world, what does that matter?!
Tang Xun received the order and was about to take action when he attacked Yuan Qing in an instant. A golden needle pierced into the body of a shop assistant, who fell to the ground and became motionless.
"One, two, three!" The cold voice continued.
Another waiter fell down, and the shopkeeper was scared to death.
"This time, if you don't tell me, your son will die!" Sikong Zhan glanced at the shopkeeper's young son and continued counting, "One, two, three!"
"Father, save me!" The shopkeeper's son was so scared that he peed his pants and shouted for help.
"No, I'll tell you!" Seeing Xiang Yuanqing's hand raised again, the shopkeeper couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly stopped him, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you! They're underground!"
"Lead the way!" Sikong Zhan let go of the shopkeeper's hand.
"You can lead the way, as long as you promise to give us a way out." The shopkeeper slumped on the ground, as if he had died once.
"As long as you don't collude with that man and don't do anything treasonous, no one will bother you when we find that person." The shopkeeper confessed so easily and said that he was a spy. Sikong Zhan didn't believe it. If the shopkeeper was forced to help Baili Zhe hide, it was not impossible to give him a chance to survive.
The shopkeeper led the way to the underground entrance.
Xiang Yuanqing walked over to the two fallen men, patted them gently, and took out the golden needles. The men woke up with a bewildered look on their faces...
The shopkeeper knocked a few times at the entrance and the door was opened. Before the people inside could see the situation outside, Sikong Zhan went in instantly and took control of the people.
"Tell me, where is the woman you captured yesterday?"
"If you want to see your princess, just ask me. Why bother a servant?" Baili Zhe found out early in the morning that Sikong Zhan was coming. While he was surprised, he had already made full preparations. At this moment, he was sitting leisurely not far away drinking tea, admiring Sikong Zhan's anxious look - well, this feeling is quite fresh.
"Hand over the princess, and I will spare your life!" Sikong Zhan knocked the person in his hand unconscious, threw him to the ground, and looked at Baili Zhe.
Baili Zhe was calm and unhurried, not threatened by Sikong Zhan. "For three days, you are not allowed to interfere with any of my actions. After three days, take your Canglong Sword in exchange for your princess."
The Azure Dragon Sword was ranked eighth on the Continental Sword Chart. Capturing Princess Jingnan was a surprising bonus, but since they couldn't retrieve the Dragon Pearl, King Jingnan would have to part with it.
Baili Zhe had a hostage in his hand and was not threatened. When had King Jingnan ever been threatened by anyone? However, since it was related to Lin Jinghan's safety, he had no choice but to give in and stuck the Canglong Sword into the ground.
"I want to see the princess now. I have no interest in interfering with whatever you want to do in the next three days. The Azure Dragon Sword is right here. If you want it, come and get it!"
"Prince Jingnan is truly affectionate towards his princess. I am truly moved." Baili Zhe put down his teacup, touched his mask, and looked at the Canglong Sword with some distress.
"The Princess of Jingnan is in my hands right now. If you let her go just like that, wouldn't that make me lose face?"
On the other side, Bailizhe's confidant, Ma Long, received his instructions and went to Lin Jinghan's room, intending to take Lin Jinghan out.
When he entered the room, he found that the maids who were supposed to serve Lin Jinghan in the room were gone, and the woman on the bed was still sleeping. He was shocked to find that something was wrong and hurriedly controlled the person on the bed, only to find that the person on the bed was not asleep, but in a coma.
The woman on the bed had blisters all over her face, and her original appearance could no longer be seen. Thinking of the princess who was in the same state, she had left the room an hour ago.
After carefully examining the figure of the woman on the bed, it seemed that she looked more like a princess! An astonishing idea came to Ma Long, and he quickly called someone in. He found the maid, who was also unconscious, under the bed. Thinking that something was wrong, he quickly sent someone to report to the Sixth Prince and at the same time, he called for someone to bring the princess back.
At this time, Lin Jinghan had already put on Princess Aoqing's clothes, took Doctor Zhang hostage, left the inn and came to the street.
An hour ago, Princess Ao Qing's face was covered with blisters. Doctor Zhang fed her the antidote. Lin Jinghan took advantage of the fact that everyone in the room was unprepared and attacked immediately. She knocked everyone down with golden needles, woke up Doctor Zhang, and controlled him with poison.
Doctor Zhang would rather die than take her out, but Lin Jinghan also poisoned Princess Ao Qing and promised that as long as he took her out, she would give him the antidote and let them live.
If something happened to Princess Aoqing because of him, he would have no need to live, so Doctor Zhang had to compromise and helped Lin Jinghan, the fake Princess Aoqing, leave.
Lin Jinghan wore a veil hat and cried as she walked, mumbling that Brother Zhe no longer loved her and that she wanted to go home. The guards all knew that Princess Aoqing was "disfigured" and that she cared most about her image, so they did not dare to look at her and did not notice that the figure of this "Princess Aoqing" was a little different.
