If he stood in the open, he would be easily hurt in the dark. Why did Xiefeng Ming arrange this? There was no other reason. If they were in the dark, those who had intentions towards them would definitely arrange for double the manpower to investigate in the dark. Then, it would be inconvenient for them to do anything and it would be easy to expose themselves. It was better to expose themselves directly and let Xie Weiran replace them in the light. With such an appearance, no matter what they did, it would be under the protection of these people in the martial world. Then, they would definitely be at ease. The person who wanted to attack them was in the dark. With such a clear target exposed, they would definitely relax their defenses, which would be beneficial to Xiefeng Ming's operation.
Shangguan Xinyi, who had been following beside Xiefeng Ming, couldn't help but look at him in a new light when she saw his arrangements.
The reason why Xiefeng Ming didn't avoid Shangguan Xinyi making such arrangements was that he had already made a decision in his heart to let Shangguan Xinyi stay by his side forever!
Since the Fifteenth Prince was so brazen here, the Jianghu would definitely verify the identities of the people around him. Xiefeng Ming took advantage of this and deliberately spread the news of the old man Qiu Yunhe and the news that he had appeared with his grandson in the imperial court's team. In this way, he had a very good cover. Even if those people racked their brains, they would not expect him to appear in such an identity. The greatest advantage of this was that it would delay the time for Shangguan Langqiu to act against him, and increase his vigilance. Shangguan Langqiu would definitely plan everything before he acted, or else with an expert like Qiu Yunhe, a god in command, he would definitely end up digging his own grave.
This was what Xiefeng Ming needed. This way, he would have enough time to do what he wanted to do without anyone noticing.
At this moment, Xiefeng Ming and the old man Qiu Yunhe were sitting on a chair that was carried by four people, looking at the surrounding scenery leisurely. The others, including Xie Weiran, were walking on foot. This treatment obviously raised their status and this was exactly what Xiefeng Ming wanted. Just imagine how capable a person who even the imperial court was praising would be. Xiefeng Ming was the best at this kind of strategy.
"Someone come! This Young Master is thirsty! Give this young master a pot of top-grade rain flowers!”Xiefeng Ming giggled as he sat on the chair and ordered.
"Young Master, if you are thirsty, drink some tea.”Shangguan Xinyi walked beside him, reminding him in a low voice. At this moment, Shangguan Xinyi had vividly portrayed the identity of a maidservant.
"So much nonsense! Hurry up and bring me the Yuhua Wine!" Xiefeng Ming frowned and said unhappily.
"Yes, sir!" Shangguan bowed and retreated with small steps.
It was unknown when Xie Fengming had this exquisite wine pot in his hand. As he drank, Xie Weiran would occasionally walk in front of them and ask about something. He looked very careful, which made the people of the martial world who passed by guess endlessly. It also made the person who was secretly following them feel extremely uneasy.
"Kid, your wine seems to be very delicious! Quick, let grandpa have a taste too!" The old man sat in the hall and looked at the wine Xiefeng Ming was drinking. His appetite was aroused. He hadn't drunk wine for more than ten years.
"Grandpa, drink less. There will be a good show later!”Xiefeng Ming passed the wine pot to the old man and reminded him carefully.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." The old man took the wine pot and tasted it. His eyes narrowed into crescents as he enjoyed it.
Just as the old man was intoxicated in the wine, a middle-aged man with a full beard appeared near them. Because he was the closest to Shangguan Xinyi, the man's first target was Shangguan Xinyi.
He stretched out a hand and held Shangguan Xinyi's shoulder, his soft voice only audible to Shangguan Xinyi."Who are you? Why do you know my unique disguise technique? And the man on the chair…"
Shangguan Xinyi looked at the middle-aged man in front of her and revealed a smile."Xiao Hen! This was not the place to talk! Follow me!" Shangguan Xinyi then turned around and walked away from Xiefeng Ming, but she didn't walk out of their group. She wouldn't foolishly reveal information to the people watching them.
Who else could this middle-aged man be but Xiao Hen? If he hadn't spoken, Shangguan Xinyi would never have discovered it.
"Xiao Hen, why have you appeared here in such a state?”Shangguan Xinyi asked in a low voice, her eyes occasionally observing the surroundings.
"How could I not come to such a big change in the martial world? Once the Supreme Martial Artist is decided, there will be a lot of waves in Jianghu. I don't want to be passive. Little girl, if you didn't speak, I really wouldn't have recognized you. Haha, I didn't expect you to be able to learn my unique skill so vividly!”"Aren't you from the Ninth Prince's residence? Why did he follow Prince Fifteen here? You, a little servant girl, shouldn't be here…and…who is that man? Why did you give him my disguise?" Xiao Hen looked at Shangguan Xinyi in confusion.
"This is a long story. I won't say anything else. Let me ask you, do you believe me?”Shangguan Xinyi looked at Xiao Hen and asked softly.
"Of course I trust you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taught you my unique skill. What are you trying to say?”Xiao Hen looked at Shangguan Xinyi and asked.
"If you trust me, then how about we obey unconditionally?”Shangguan Xinyi looked at Xiao Hen without blinking.
"Obey? Do you think I'm your subordinate? "Obey…" Xiao Hen's words were interrupted by Shangguan Xinyi.
"Of course you are not my subordinate, but your enemies are secretly watching our every move! As long as you trust me and obey my arrangements, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! I'll let you vent your hatred. What do you think?" Shangguan Xinyi's eyes inadvertently swept across the grass by the roadside.
Xiao Hen followed Shangguan Xinyi's gaze and looked over. Sure enough, there was a head in the weeds. Although it was extremely hidden, he still saw it.
"This person's martial arts are very powerful. Even I didn't notice it.”Xiao Hen pinched his beard, frowned, and said thoughtfully,""Little girl, if I don't even trust you, I'm afraid that no one else in this world will. From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were someone I could trust, but…can you defeat him?”
"Don't worry, I'm not alone. If he wants to do something that he shouldn't do, he will be killed sooner or later. As for us, we're just doing him a favor.”When Shangguan Xinyi said these words, a trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes.
"Hehe, girl, be careful to hide your emotions!”Xiao Hen naturally placed his hand on Shangguan Xinyi's head.
"This is for you." Shangguan Xinyi allowed Xiao Hen to stroke her head. She reached into her bosom, took out a white porcelain bottle, and handed it to Xiao Hen."This is a pill that I refined in private to change a person's voice. As long as you take it, your voice will become another person's. The time limit is about three days. After taking the pill, it's absolutely impossible for others to recognize who you are from your voice.”
Xiao Hen stretched out his hand and took the porcelain bottle. After putting it away, he looked at Shangguan Xinyi seriously."Girl, where did you come from? There are actually so many good things."
"My master taught me. Cut the crap, that person…you have to think of a way to get rid of him secretly! Otherwise, it would attract unnecessary trouble.”Shangguan Xinyi said to Xiao Hen with a smile.
"Don't worry, he won't live long. Moreover, he died at the hands of his companions!”Xiao Hen said nonchalantly, his eyes inadvertently looking at the grass by the roadside.
The person Shangguan Xinyi had asked Xiao Hen to kill was the one hiding in the bushes. The reason for killing him was that all of Shangguan Xinyi and Xiao Hen's actions had been seen by that person, including that white porcelain bottle. How could they not be suspicious of such an unusual performance from a maidservant? If they couldn't find anything after investigating, they would definitely pay more attention to her. Then, it would be troublesome for her to do things.
" Jiu….." Xie Weiran had already seen his ninth sister-in-law Shangguan Xinyi and a middle-aged man acting sneakily. He only observed from afar until the middle-aged man placed his hand on Shangguan Xinyi's head. He then hurriedly walked over and just as he called out the word 'nine', he was stopped by Shangguan Xinyi's gaze.
"This servant pays her respects to the Fifteenth Prince." Shangguan Xinyi bowed, no different from the other maidservants who followed her.
"No need for formalities. Jiu 'er, can you tell this king who this person is? Why are you in this king's team?" Xie Weiran had a serious look on his face, but he was thinking about how bold his sister-in-law was to be so close to his Ninth Brother and act so strangely with other men. Luckily, he found out. If he was found out by others or Ninth Brother, what would happen?
"Replying to wangye, this is this servant's distant relative. This servant accidentally met him today.”Shangguan Xinyi's back was facing Xiao Hen as she bowed and blinked at Xie Weiran.
If it was the usual Xie Weiran, the first thing he would say would be," Sister-in-law, what happened to your eyes?”But at this moment, Xie Weiran didn't have the mood to play.
"Since he is a relative, he must be a reliable person. Then he will temporarily be arranged by this king's side. Jiu 'er, do you think this king's arrangement is appropriate?”Xie Weiran naturally knew Shangguan Xinyi's intentions, but it was much better to keep this person by his side. At least he wouldn't touch his sister-in-law like he was his own. Otherwise, his sister-in-law would be skinned alive by his brother before they even reached the peak.
"Thank you wangye, this arrangement is very good, but this servant is afraid of disturbing wangye's peace. This servant's distant relative is a rough person.”Shangguan Xinyi slowly bent down and half-squatted in a salute. She was really well-trained.
"It's fine. Jiu 'er, come with me first. Someone will naturally arrange for your distant relative.”Finishing, Xie Weiran turned around and left.
Shangguan Xinyi turned around and gave Xiao Hen a look, signaling him to listen to the arrangements. She then turned around and followed behind Xie Weiran.
"Sister-in-law, who is that person?" Xie Weiran looked at Shangguan Xinyi and asked.
"Fifteenth brother, sister-in-law will ask you, do you trust sister-in-law? If you are as suspicious of me as Ninth Brother, then I will take it that I didn't ask anything. I will deal with that person myself.”Shangguan Xinyi looked at Xie Weiran and asked.
