Murong Xiao's voice sounded coldly. Yanhong swallowed her saliva and shuddered again.
This time, she said nothing. She stared in horror and slowly moved her body backwards, out of the dagger's range.
Afterwards, she shrank behind the man in black robe and trembled, even forgetting that there were two needles stuck in her feet.
This time, she was truly frightened. From childhood to adulthood, no one had ever dared to treat her like this. And she truly believed that if her brother hadn't helped her just now, she would be dead now.
Although Yanhong kept silent this time, the black-robed man was dissatisfied. He clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask your name, young lady? I wonder why you were so malicious in hurting my sister just now?"
Murong Xiao opened her pearly teeth slightly and asked instead of answering, "May I know your names, young master and young lady?"
Looking at Murong Xiao's slightly curved eyes, even though she was covered by a veil, he could still tell that the owner of these eyes was smiling. However, he could not feel the warmth of that smile at all. On the contrary, her smile was filled with a chill that penetrated his heart, making Yelu Boyan's heart slightly chilled.
What kind of woman is this?
Yelu Boyan narrowed his eyes slightly, clasped his hands, and said, "I am Yelu Boyan, the eldest prince of Xiliang. This is my sister, Yelu Ya, the eldest princess of Xiliang."
Murong smiled and raised her lips, deliberately raising her voice: "I was blind and didn't recognize Mount Tai. I thought the people who were assaulting the people, killing innocent people, and disturbing the royal temple were some ignorant thieves. But it turns out they are the prince and princess of Xiliang. I am so sorry!"
As soon as Murong Xiao finished speaking, the people who had gathered, which had grown in number, immediately began to whisper.
Nanyue, a nation rich in treasures and the most prosperous of the six kingdoms, its people loved literature and art, and were passionate about gossip and strange stories. The prince and princess of Xiliang traveled to Nanyue to celebrate the king's birthday, but in the very place where the king was prayed for, they clashed with the people and slaughtered innocent people.
This is definitely the biggest gossip that can be heard on the streets this afternoon.
Yelu Boyang frowned slightly. How could he not know what this woman meant by speaking so loudly?
Since he was a guest, and since he had indeed offended the people and was the first to kill people, in order to calm the situation, Yelu Boyang had no choice but to move down to Aizhan for Yelu Ya.
"The temples of Xiliang and Nanyue differ in both their architectural structures and cultural qualities. I'm deeply attached to the Nanyue temples and was eager to go up the mountain as soon as possible, so I impulsively offended the people of Nanyue and you all. Sir and ladies, please forgive us for our offense, considering my young age and the fact that we're a guest from afar."
Yelu Boyan spoke with extreme sincerity. He never mentioned that his men had died and the princess had been injured. He put all the blame on himself.
Although they had indeed aroused public anger just now, their extremely humble words were enough to make the people who had been tortured by the slave mentality for a long time forgive them.
They were the prince and princess of Xiliang, and it was only the little princess who had been yelling in the sedan chair. The little princess was ignorant, and while she had done something hateful, she had learned her lesson, and the prince had apologized. This matter should indeed be left at that.
However, although the people think so, Murong Xiao would never think so.
After hearing Yelu Boyan's words, Murong Xiao praised: "The eldest prince of Xiliang is indeed honest and humble.
