"You - why did you kill him?" Yu Ruoyan's hand trembled slightly: "Miss Qi Lan just fainted and did not want to take his life. Why did you kill him?"

Xiaoxin calmly shook the sword in his hand, and watched the blood fall to the ground coldly, with a cold look: "He heard our conversation and knew my true identity, so he would definitely not be able to keep a living."

"But Brother Xiang will protect your safety. You will be safe when you are by our side--"

Xiaoxin glanced at her coldly and interrupted him: "It's better to have less than more things now. The later my identity is, the safer it will be."

Everyone was silent, Yu Ruoyan couldn't find anything to refute him. The situation was tense at the moment, and she really couldn't have the kindness of a woman. If Mr. Gu Yue knew Xiao Xin's true identity, God knew what he would do.

Qi Lan stared blankly at the dead man in black in front of her, and her consciousness was dissipated. The person in front of her died because of her. His blood splattered on her clothes, leaving a smell of blood. Qi Lan's stomach was overturned, and she stared at the corpse in front of her, and suddenly bent down and vomited.

After traveling to the Qin Dynasty, Qi Lan had seen a corpse. When Liu Ji raised his troops to rebel, blood flowed into a river and piles of corpses. Qi Lan survived. But the person in front of him died because of her, which was no different from killing her with her own hands. Qi Lan felt an indescribable fear in her heart. The blood stimulated her stomach, and she could only vomit continuously to relieve her panic.

Looking at Qi Lan's appearance, Yu Ruoyan felt a little sad. She patted Qi Lan's back gently and comforted her in a low voice. Xiao Xin signaled Hongye to deal with the body, and then walked straight to Qi Lan.

"Miss Yu and you already know my identity. She is from Chu. I naturally believe her. As for you..." Xiao Xin looked at Qi Lan with a pale face deeply: "What are you going to do?"

Xiaoxin's expression was very different from the one in the room just now. She took off her elegant and noble coat and revealed her cold and cruel nature. Yu Ruoyan was shocked. Xiaoxin's eyes were as cold as ice, which made people shudder. She was unconsciously a little scared.

She gently blocked Qi Lan, swallowed her saliva, and plucked up the courage to say, "Miss Qi Lan, she won't leak the secrets. Your Highness, you can rest assured that we--"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Lan interrupted Yu Ruoyan. Her face was still pale, but there was a sense of calmness and fearlessness in her eyes: "Aji and I have no interest in the restoration of Chu State. But we have one common goal, that is, to overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty. At least on this point, our interests are the same."

Xiaoxin's eyes were deep: "So, you are not willing to support me in restoring my country?"

Qi Lan calmly replied: "The restoration of the country can only be achieved by overthrowing the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Aji and I now only want to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. As for what happened later, we have to wait for Aji to decide."

Yu Ruoyan was sweating aside and clenched her fists tightly. Xiao Xin did not show any special expression when she heard this. He nodded slightly, as if the answer was as expected.

He put away the sword in his hand and handed it back to Hongye. Yu Ruoyan then breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

"Let's go back to the warm-incense pavilion first, let's make a long-term plan for the rest." Xiaoxin threw down this sentence and turned around and left. Hongye glanced at Qi Lan and Yu Ruoyan, and followed silently.

Qi Lan looked at Xiaoxin's back with her eyes unpredictable. The behavior of Xiaoxin in front of her made her feel indescribable. Her intuition told her that Xiaoxin seemed to have concealed something.

Recalling Xiaoxin's clean and neat murder just now, Qi Lan's inner doubts were even greater, but now there was no other way except to temporarily obey his arrangements. Qi Lan put away the uneasiness in her heart and followed.

In the suburbs, willow bank slope.

The willows sway and dance gently with the wind. The stream is gurgling and the tinkling is crisp. The drums and music are coming one after another. Under the huge pavilion, the dancers twist their slender waists and waving their skirts and sleeves to dance gracefully.

Liu Ji and others arrived at the place designated by Mr. Gu Yue on time, and saw a beautiful scenery of green songs and dancing from afar. Mr. Gu Yue was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and holding wine to intoxicated by the music, feeling very uncomfortable.

Seeing Liu Ji and his group of people, Gu Yue Young Master happily put down his wine glass and greeted him happily: "Oh, you are here, it's great!"

He danced excitedly: "No matter how beautiful the scenery and beauty are, how can you not have heroes to admire? Come quickly!"

Xiang Ji couldn't help but his hot temper, rushed up and grabbed Mr. Gu Yue's collar, and asked: "Stop pretending here, what are your conspiracies? Tell me quickly!"

Young Master Gu Yue was not annoyed, but grinned with a smile, not timid about Xiang Ji's anger: "Don't be impatient, why bother being angry as soon as they meet, sit down and see how the singing and dancing are?"

"Don't you show off that face. You feel sinister and cruel. Don't we know?"

Young Master Gu Yue grinned, and the smile on his face was a little cold and chilling. The strange smile contained dangerous factors: "Since you know that I am insidious and vicious, don't touch my bottom line, otherwise, I don't know what will happen."

As soon as she finished speaking, a maid serving suddenly screamed and knelt on the ground. The wine in her hand spilled all over the floor. A short dagger was inserted on her right shoulder, and blood was flowing.

"Ahhh, why are you so careless-" Young Master Gu Yue clapped his hands and pretended to be regretful: "You actually sprinkled such a precious drink like this. You ruined my banquet. What should you do with you?"

The maid's face was pale, her body was shaking like a sieve, and she knelt on the ground and couldn't even speak. Young Master Gu Yue sighed boredly and said in her ear: "Today your task is to serve the guests. The guests have arrived, why don't you welcome them yet?"

The maid stood up in a hurry, and walked to Xiang Ji tremblingly regardless of the blood flowing from her shoulders. She endured the pain and begged, "Please follow me and take my seat."

"You--" Xiang Ji was about to say something, but Zhang Liang grabbed him and whispered: "Can't you see it yet? If we don't follow Mr. Gu Yue's request, everyone here will be in danger of life. He has already taken everyone hostages."
