The people in the rivers and lakes have the arrogance of the people in the rivers and lakes, and in the face of imperial power, few people are willing to kneel.

As the owner of Ximen Villa, Ximen Zhenxing definitely didn't want to kneel down, even if he met the prince as a grass man, he still held the shelf of the owner of Ximen Villa in his heart, so he just bowed his hand, performed the Jianghu ceremony, and said flattering words, which did not match his identity as a grass man.

Ximen is sad and does not kneel to the prince, this is understandable, after all, Shangguan Xiaoyao doesn't care about this. But this Ximen Zhenxing does not kneel, but he can't say it, he is the owner of Ximen Villa, since he wants to ask the court for help, and wants to take refuge in the court, he has to show his due attitude.

So when Mei'er was scolding him, Shangguan Xiaoyao didn't stop him, it depended on whether this Ximen Zhenxing was interested or not.

When Ximen Zhenxing heard Mei'er's words, his body trembled slightly, and he knelt down? Kneel down to the crown prince of the current court? He is also the helmsman of a first- or second-rate top sect, and he usually does not intersect with the imperial court, and does not give the imperial court face, so he actually wants to kneel to this imperial court today?

If the etiquette is in place, it is enough to show that you have given enough face to the court, but if you really want to kneel, how can you accept it?

For a while, Ximen Zhenxing felt a sense of humiliation in his heart, and anger flickered in the depths of his eyes, and he was in a dilemma about whether to kneel.

Seeing Ximen Zhenxing frozen in place, Mei'er frowned and said, "It seems that the people in the rivers and lakes really don't regard themselves as the people of Zhao State!"

Hearing this, Ximen Zhenxing felt a pang in his heart, in the final analysis, although his Ximen Villa is a sect of rivers and lakes, but it is also a subject under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and he is usually intoxicated with the utopian rivers and lakes, flaunting himself as a person in the rivers and lakes, trying to wander outside the law and out of the control of the state, but this is just wishful thinking in his heart.

The imperial court has never given up on the rivers and lakes, never before, and never in the future. Even when the prince appeared in this Wancheng, he had reason to believe that he had come to integrate the rivers and lakes.

But he really wanted to kneel, but because of his identity as the owner of the Divine Pattern Ximen Mountain Villa, this kneeling was never able to kneel.

"Master Ximen, it seems that you haven't figured out your identity! Do you really think that if you are a person in the rivers and lakes, you can be free from the law and not controlled by the state?"

Lan'er spoke at the right time, dissatisfied with Ximen's revitalization.

Hearing Lan'er's words, Ximen Zhenxing immediately suppressed the cluttered thoughts in his heart. Dignity? If you kneel to the prince, will you have no dignity? Humiliation? Your Ximen Villa itself belongs to the subjects of the Zhao State, and you are also the people of the Zhao State, so why not kneel to the current prince!

Thinking of this, he decisively knelt on the ground, and bowed to the ground: "Caomin Ximen Zhenxing, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Seeing his actions, Shangguan Xiaoyao said, "Say, why are you here?"

In fact, he knew what this Simon had come to do with his revitalization, but there were some things that needed to come out of his mouth and then agree to it himself, and it was a matter of attitude.

"The grass people are the owners of Ximen Villa, but my Ximen Villa has recently been coveted by thieves, and now the thieves are hoarding around Ximen Villa, trying to destroy my Ximen Villa, my Ximen Villa is really suffering from an unwarranted disaster, and I ask His Royal Highness the Prince to uphold justice for the grass people!"

Simon Zhenxing told all the problems he encountered in one breath.

Hearing his words, Shangguan nodded and said, "Go down, I will deal with the matter of your Ximen Villa." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

Simon Zhenxing saluted respectfully, then stood up and walked out of the room.

As soon as he left, Zhu'er asked with a smile: "Childe, does he admit that Ximen Villa is a vassal of our Zhao Kingdom?"

"The Jianghu sect in my Zhao State has always been a subordinate of the Zhao State, and it doesn't matter if he admits it or not!"

Shangguan Xiaoyao didn't put Ximen Zhenxing's subordinates in his eyes at all, but since the other party came to ask him for help, he couldn't sit idly by and watch this matter, and immediately ordered: "Pay attention to the matter of Ximen Villa, if there are Jianghu warriors who make a move against Ximen Villa, then take action to exterminate the thieves!"

"Yes, Childe!"

The three maids responded in unison, and then Zhu'er took the initiative to ask Ying and said, "Childe, how about letting the slave and maid handle this matter?"

Shangguan nodded and said, "Go ahead! You bring Lin Moxiao and Bai Murong with you!"

"Yes, Childe!"

After Zhu'er received the order, he directly took Lin Moxiao and Bai Murong to Ximen Villa.

......

Simon Villa.

Today's Ximen Villa only left Ximen Beifeng and Ximen Wubei and Li Yuanhao's ten people left, and Ximen Zhenxing went to the city to report to the official, and he didn't come back for a while.

In the past, Ximen Villa was full of people and prosperous. But in just three days, Ximen Villa was full of birds.

So far, Ximen Beifeng doesn't think that there will be any danger in Ximen Villa, and those who should leave have been sent away, plus Ximen Zhenxing went to report to the official, I believe that the official will not sit idly by.

Although from now on, the reputation of Ximen Villa in the rivers and lakes may be ruined, but at least Ximen Villa has been preserved, and maybe if you are lucky, you can be like Nie Mantian, and be awarded an official and a half-post by the imperial court.

But the more you think there is no danger, the more dangerous it is.

At the gate of Ximen Villa, three men dressed in night clothes appeared at the door of Ximen Villa, and the leader stood sideways at the door with a spear in his hand.

The second person was blind in his left eye, and even though he was covered by a night suit, the blindfold he was wearing was very conspicuous. He had a large knife in his hand, and he was murderous.

The third person was holding a free fan in his hand, and the night clothes were windless and automatic, and the momentum was extraordinary.

The three of them stood at the door for a while, and noticed that there were warriors around them constantly stepping towards Ximen Villa, and the black-clothed man with a free fan in his hand immediately said: "The time has come, you can do it!"

When the man in black with a spear in his hand heard this, he said directly: "Do it!"

As soon as the words fell, the three mermaids rushed in and stepped into the Ximen Villa.

The Ximen Villa is very large, but the manpower is very small, after all, the servants and others have been dismissed, and now there are only twelve people left in the Ximen Villa.

The three of them stepped into Ximen Villa, but they didn't see anyone, but they seemed to have expected such a situation, but they went straight towards the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Ximen Villa.

"What people!"

Ximen Beifeng and the others were gathering in the hall of Ximen Villa at this time, and when they saw three black-clothed people breaking in, they immediately shouted and asked.

At the same time, he skillfully picked up a horn bow on the table, put the quiver on his back in an instant, set up the arrow, pulled the horn bow into a full moon suit, and aimed it at the three people who suddenly broke in in front of him.

For Ximen Beifeng's movements, the three of them didn't pay attention to them at all, and the man in black with a spear said indifferently: "Hand over the Ximen Sword Technique, spare your life in Ximen Villa!"

"Hmph, there are a lot of people in this river and lake who covet my Ximen swordsmanship, but they are all dead! If you want to snatch the Ximen swordsmanship of my Ximen Villa, it depends on whether you have this ability!"

The indifferent voice of the north wind of the west gate fell, but the horned bow that was drawn into a full moon was immediately released, and an arrow with a burst of breaking sound fell like a meteor, killing the man in black with a spear.

The spear in the black man's hand stabbed forward, the speed didn't seem to be very fast, but the accuracy was surprisingly good, and it was actually slammed on the flying arrow, deviating the trajectory of the arrow, and then disdainfully said: "Melee arrows?

Ximen Beifeng also seemed to know that such a result would occur, so he directly used the ox horn bow as a melee weapon and killed the man in black with a spear.

The moment he rushed out, he yelled: "Li Yuanhao, you go with no sorrow!"

Li Yuanhao was unwilling, he stayed in order to deal with the crisis of Ximen Villa, and asked him to take Ximen Wubei away, but he couldn't accept it.

"Elder North Wind, I'm fighting side by side with you!"

He also rushed towards the man in black with a spear, the figure was unknown, but the long sword in his hand had already stabbed out nineteen swords in an instant, blocking the back road of the man in black with a spear.

The other nine people also shot at the remaining two men in black at this moment, but the nine had just rushed out, but the remaining two men in black retreated directly, and at the same time, the man in black with the spear sneered: "You guys have been fooled!"

Hearing this, Ximen Beifeng frowned, fooled?

Before he could figure it out, he saw that the other two men in black were very fast, they were leaving, and the other nine people in Ximen Villa couldn't stop them.

And the spear in the hand of the man in black with the spear was even more powerful, and it burst out with powerful combat power in an instant, stopping the offensive of Ximen Beifeng and Li Yuanhao, and then retreating in an instant!

They came and went quickly, and they came to this Ximen Villa, as if they were just to shout out the words 'hand over the Ximen Sword Technique, spare your life in Ximen Villa'!

"Brothers, I don't want the clues of the Nine Swords Diagram of the Heavenly Mountain in Ximen Villa, I just want the Ximen Sword Technique!"

"Hmph, the clues of the Tianshan Nine Sword Diagram are naturally not something we can covet, but if you want the Ximen Sword Technique, I am also bound to obtain the Ximen Sword Technique!"

"Haha, although the Ximen Sword Technique is also very important, I also want the wealth of Ximen Villa!"

“......”

Voices kept coming from afar, these voices were getting closer and closer, and they fell on their ears at the north wind of the West Gate, but they made their expressions change greatly!

At this moment, he instantly understood, why the man in black with the spear said that they were fooled, the real purpose of the three men in black was not to deal with them at all, but to borrow the power of others to deal with Ximen Villa!

The wolves of Ximen Mountain Villa looked around, but no one took the lead, there is no doubt that their first move was to let other martial artists also participate in fishing in troubled waters!
