Chapter 453: Subtle Atmosphere
Ever since the new emperor and his entourage were rescued by Jiujiu, these warriors from the Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes have been outside tracking down the whereabouts of the new emperor and his entourage, and looking for opportunities to murder them.
They didn't know what conflicts had occurred between the chief of the Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes and Qin Nian, and they just thought that Qin Nian was still one of their own.
Seeing Qin Nian at this moment, they naturally placed their hopes on Qin Nian, hoping that Qin Nian could help.
As long as Qin Nian is willing to help, they will be able to capture these people unharmed and collect the reward when they return.
Jiujiu and Dijiang thought so too.
Jiujiu even felt a little regretful. She muttered, "If I had known this would happen, the moment I learned about the Fengming Sword, I should have poisoned Qin Nian again and kept him poisoned so that he could not move, instead of just tying him up and thinking about killing him once I got the Fengming Sword."
"well……"
It's too late now.
Jiujiu felt regretful and touched her body, and found that she was not poisonous.
At this moment they couldn't take Qin Nian down by poisoning.
Seeing Jiujiu sighing, Dijiang looked at her distressedly and said, "Jiujiu, you didn't do anything wrong, don't blame yourself."
Di Jiang said, holding the sword, and came to Jiujiu, facing Qin Nian. Today, he was determined to protect Jiujiu with his own body.
"Come on! Let me fight you."
"Would you like to see how powerful you are?"
Di Jiang said to Qin Nian without hesitation.
However, Qin Nian just smiled at him and Jiujiu.
Without waiting for the two men to react and figure out what Qin Nian was laughing at, Qin Nian suddenly snatched the knife from a warrior from the Thirteenth Tribe of Zhaoli in front of him and started fighting.
But he did not kill Dijiang and Jiujiu, but people from the Thirteen Tribes of Zhaoli.
He attacked with great cruelty, as if it was revenge, and every move was a killing move. Not a single intact corpse was left for the warriors of the Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes.
Wherever he passed, people kept falling down and bleeding.
Jiujiu and Dijiang looked at the blood on the ground, which had gathered into a stream and flowed to a lower place, and they couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Doesn’t this Qin Nian work for the Thirteenth Division of Zhaoli?
Why are they now turning around and killing the people from the Thirteen Divisions of Zhaoli? And why are they so cruel?
The warriors of the Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes didn't understand either, but they died without even having the chance to ask.
Di Jiang finally got to see Qin Nian's skills.
Qin Nian is a true master.
If we say that he is the best in the world today, I think everyone would agree.
After Qin Nian killed the man, his face and clothes were stained with blood, and he exuded the coldness and murderous aura of a human corpse, just like a Shura.
He walked towards Dijiang and Jiujiu.
The two men hurriedly picked up their swords and looked at Qin Nian warily.
The new emperor and his men, who came out to help, endured the pain and hurried forward, drawing their swords to face Qin Nian.
Everyone was nervous and very afraid of Qin Nian.
But after Qin Nian took a few steps forward, he suddenly threw away the bloody sword, knelt in front of Jiujiu, and kowtowed to Jiujiu.
Because he used too much force, a red mark appeared in the center of his forehead.
He also said: "I, Qin Nian, swear to be loyal to the princess until death."
As for why he was loyal to Jiujiu, he also explained that it was because of the aura of Jiaoyan on Jiujiu.
Before that, he was maliciously misled into thinking that Princess Ivan of the Zhaoli Thirteenth Tribe had the aura of the Mermaid, so he was loyal to the Zhaoli Thirteenth Tribe. He also told the story about what happened to Jiujiu and others.
Jiujiu finally understood why she could control beasts and fight.
It is the blessing of the Holy Maiden Jiaoyan.
"Hmph, don't think that you can get away with those bad things just by apologizing and showing your loyalty." Nan Yuanxiang said sarcastically with unhappiness.
These days, Nan Yuanxiang has been personally taking care of Emperor Qing'an and his brothers. She knows best how serious their injuries are and how badly they have been tortured.
She really hates it.
"Yes!" Although Feng Yunyi was very afraid of Qin Nian, he still spoke in agreement with Nan Yuanxiang.
Emperor Qing'an, the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince also looked resentful.
Not to mention the eldest brother, he still can't get out of bed. He must hate Qin Nian to death.
Seeing this, Qin Nian said angrily: "...What do you want? Do you want revenge? Can you beat me?"
At this moment, Qin Nian expressed his loyalty to Jiujiu, but this did not mean that he did not hate the people of Xichu, nor did it mean that he would be loyal to and treat the people around Jiujiu well.
He still hates the people of Western Chu.
He will never forget or let go of the fact that Xi Chu crushed Jiao Yan to dust.
Seeing this, Jiujiu said, "Forget it, let's do this for now!"
"Stop arguing, let's pack up first and go back to Xichu."
"As for Qin Nian, you killed the people of the Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes today and protected us. You have done us a favor. I will not pursue your fault for hurting my brothers for the time being."
"But don't let me see you again."
"I don't need your loyalty either."
Jiujiu still hates Qin Nian.
"Next time we meet, I will kill you."
Qin Nian didn't know what to say when he heard that. Seeing Jiujiu ignoring him and focusing on packing up and leaving, he didn't say anything and just followed Jiujiu and the others silently.
Gongsun Yan was shocked. He thought the leader he had just recognized was just a slightly powerful girl, but he never expected that she was so powerful.
Especially when he saw Jiujiu, Dijiang, and Qin Nian killing people.
He raised his sword and killed one person with one strike. It was so powerful.
He admired her very much.
"This boss didn't admit his mistake."
"I am willing to be this little brother."
Having said this, Gongsun Yan followed Jiujiu and his party and left the Thirteen Tribes of Zhaoli and returned to Western Chu.
Jiujiu didn't want him to continue following her, but he insisted. He even said that he admired the strong and wanted to follow the strong, broaden his horizons, and take the opportunity to improve himself.
In this way, the group set out on the journey back to Xichu.
Qin Nian also followed secretly.
When Jiujiu saw him again, he wanted to kill him for revenge.
However, Qin Nian would always use his skills to hide quickly when Jiujiu got angry.
He would only come to their rescue when the people from the Thirteen Zhaoli Tribes caught up with them and caused trouble.
He protected her more than ten times in total.
Jiujiu didn't feel comfortable killing him anymore, so she could only let him follow her and just ignore him.
But along the way, the atmosphere began to become a little subtle.
The new emperor's brothers still wanted to kill Qin Nian, but Qin Nian had to protect Jiujiu and did not dare to offend Jiujiu easily. So even though he understood the new emperor's murderous intentions and wanted to kill them, he did not dare to fight back.
Gongsun Yan knew a little bit of Kung Fu, but he didn't dare to interrupt when something happened. All the unruly people at the auction disappeared because of the battle, and only Jiujiu followed him obediently.
And Di Jiang, for some reason, was also staring at Jiujiu.
He used to pay attention to Jiujiu, but it was just attention, not the kind of constant staring at her.
But now, for some reason, he started staring at Jiujiu inexplicably.
Why?
Jiujiu was also puzzled.
At this moment, Jiujiu went out to relieve herself and disappeared for a long time. After she came back, she was questioned by Dijiang.
Dijiang looked very uneasy and a little flustered: "Jiujiu, where did you go just now?"
