"Alright, you can go over!" The third princess didn't notice Chunxiu's abnormality, because the third princess was not in a calm mood at this time.

When she learned that the mastermind behind this operation was her eldest brother, the third princess was also extremely shocked. However, then the third princess had a sharp change of heart, and quickly figured out the reason why the eldest brother was targeting her.

The lord of the Eastern Continent Kingdom was obsessed with cultivation when he was young, but his cultivation qualifications were not outstanding, so until he was in his seventies, he was only at the peak of the foundation building stage, and he was never able to break through to the Jindan stage.

Basically, when a cultivator reaches the Jindan stage, he can keep the appearance of his body unchanged at this time, and he can also increase his lifespan by a hundred years.

However, at the age of eighty, the lord of the Eastern Continent Kingdom finally made progress and broke through to the early stage of the Jindan period. But at this time, the lord of the Eastern Continent Country was already an old man, although the person who cultivated the truth could maintain the status quo of his body and appearance after reaching the Jindan period, but for the lord of the Eastern Continent country, he could only maintain the image of this kind of old man, and he also knew what to do.

So, the lord of the country began to prepare for the things of the descendants. Previously, the lord of the country already had two princes, who were fifty and forty-five years old.

After entering the Jindan period, Concubine Li, the side concubine of the lord of the country, gave birth to a royal daughter, that is, the third princess. Later, the lord of the Eastern Continent Kingdom gave birth to several children one after another. In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. At this time, the lord of the Eastern Continent Kingdom was already more than one hundred years old, although after entering the Jindan period, his lifespan had increased by another hundred years, but the lord of the Eastern Continent Kingdom still wanted to go further and reach the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage.

After a cultivator reaches the Yuan Infant Stage, his lifespan can be increased by another two hundred years.

However, the lord of the Eastern Continent Country had to face trivial state affairs to deal with every day, so the lord of the Eastern Continent Country increasingly felt that his cultivation time was short. Later, after much thought, the lord finally decided to abdicate early so that he could devote himself to cultivation.

So, when the two eldest sons of the lord of the kingdom learned of his intentions, they began to prepare.

The king of a country, with a high position and power, is an irresistible temptation for anyone.

The third princess originally had no intention of fighting for power, she just wanted to do what she loved to do, that is, to do business.

Since she was a child, the third princess has had an amazing talent for business, so after taking over the management of the royal assets of the Eastern Continent Kingdom, the third princess has been impressive in an extreme time. And the rest of the three princesses' younger siblings are still young, so they should not participate in this battle for the throne.

However, the outstanding performance of the third princess also made her a threat in the eyes of several princes and princesses during this sensitive period.

The position of the lord of the Eastern Continent has never been different from men and women. There was once an ancestor of the three princesses, who inherited the throne of the Eastern Continent as a daughter.

Thinking of this, the third princess sighed faintly: "Big brother, I don't have any intention of being the lord of the country, let alone participating in the battle for the throne, why do you bother............ Second brother, what will you do to me? ”

The third princess sighed, came to the carriage, and couldn't help but be attracted by Ma Fan lying in the carriage.

Ma Fan's originally smooth face turned pale at this time, like a blank piece of paper. Still, the chiseled lines attracted the three princesses. Thinking of the brave battle scene of Ma Fan that her divine sense had discovered just now, the third princess couldn't help but have a trace of curiosity in her eyes.

Suddenly, the third princess was distracted by an object in Ma Fan's right hand.

After hesitating for a moment, the third princess stepped forward and took this thing from Ma Fan's hand.

It was a dark object the size of a fountain pen, made of what appeared to be a metal. However, it was heavy in his hand, and it was obviously heavier than any metal object that the third princess had ever seen.

The thing was smooth throughout, and the swarthy surface of the surface looked as deep as the pitch-black night sky.

The third princess turned the small object over and over again, and there was only a small hole in the center of one end, and several small holes arranged in an even arrangement surrounded this small hole.

"What is this? It looks mysterious! The third princess was sure that the craftsmanship of this kind of thing was something she had never seen before.

was about to put this thing back in Ma Fan's hands, but the third princess thought about it and decided to keep it for Ma Fan first, and then return it to him when he woke up.

After all, the carriage was bumpy all the way, and it was easy to lose something so small.

"Boom ..........." At this moment, a dense sound of horses' hooves came from the passage.

Vice General Zhou immediately said: "Third princess, this must be the two commanders who have returned!" As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and in the blink of an eye, a group of more than twenty people rode out of the passage.

It was Commander Bai and Commander Duanmuli and others.

"The third princess of Qiyu, there were seven people on the other side, and six of them were killed by us, but unfortunately one of the leaders ran away............ I was worried about the third princess's side, so we gave up the pursuit............" Commander Bai dismounted and reported.

The rest of the people also got off their horses and saluted the third princess.

"Get up, thank you!" The third princess glanced at the bloody human heads carried by several of them, "Take away our people who died in battle, and bury the corpses of the other party's group on the spot!" ”

"Yes!" Commander Bai answered.

"Leave a few people to clean up the aftermath, and the rest of the people will return to Songzhou City immediately with me!" The third princess ordered.

"Yes!"

Duanmuli left five entourages to be responsible for burying the corpses, and the rest of the people took the corpses of the retinues who died in battle around the third princess and followed the three princesses to start their return journey.

On the way back, the third princess stayed in Ma Fan's carriage for the first time, and left Chunxiu in the same car as herself, responsible for taking care of Ma Fan.

Not long after the third princess and the others left the Dark Coffin Gorge, in a thatched house outside Songzhou City, an ordinary-looking woman and a man who looked like a family were sitting quietly on the straw mat on the ground.

"It's been half an hour since the plan, why is there no news yet?" The man who looked like a family member couldn't sit still.

"Don't worry, Commander, the third princess only has a dozen or so guards with her, and her strength is less than half of that on our side........... Besides, there was already a formation laid out by Master Liyun in that passage, and the people around the three princesses couldn't see through our ambush............" The woman said softly.

"It's only a matter of waiting............," Jia Ding sighed, although he was still sitting on the cushion, but he was obviously a little impetuous.

After another half an hour, the family opened his eyes and stood up.

"Ruling ............."

"Something is wrong............ It is said that after so much time, the battle should be over anyway........... No, I'll have to check it out! ”

With that, the family walked out of the house. Seeing this, a trace of worry appeared on the woman's face, and she followed closely.

After walking for a long time, the two of them were just about to reach the main road, when the man who looked like a man from the Tudi family retreated and hid behind a rock.

"What's wrong, Archon?" The woman didn't know why, and was about to ask carefully, when the man made a "silence" gesture.

"Boom, boom, boom............." There was a dense sound of horses' hooves, and then a group of people appeared on the road in the distance. In the middle of this group of people, there were two more carriages.

"It's the three princesses!" The woman stuck her head out and almost screamed.

Those two carriages were the carriages of the third princess.

"Shut up!" The man scolded in a low voice, his expression full of disbelief.

The man stared at the group without blinking. As the men got a little closer, the man finally saw a few of the men in the group.

I know these people. One is Commander Bai, one is Duanmuli, and the other is Manager Xiao.

Now, the man finally understood, and the third princess returned safely!

A seamless plan that didn't work out?

Although he didn't want to believe it in his heart, the man saw the third princess's convoy with his own eyes, but he had to accept this reality.

"Let's withdraw!" Seeing that the plan failed, the man who looked like a family member immediately decided to evacuate first.

After the third princess's convoy was far away, the two of them headed back to the hut, found the two fast horses left there, and quickly left in the opposite direction of the third princess.

"Thankfully! Just in case, I didn't risk participating in an ambush this time, otherwise............ It will definitely be recognized by the people around the third princess............" The man rode on horseback and galloped, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

By the time the third princess and her entourage arrived outside Songzhou City, it was already sunset.

The city lord Duanmu Xu had been waiting outside the city gate for a long time. Although a spy had already brought back the news of the third princess earlier, Duanmu Xu was very excited to see that the third princess was safe and sound.

If the third princess has an accident near Songzhou City, Duanmu Xu will definitely be implicated, which is related to the lives of hundreds of Duanmu Xu's entire family.

The third princess didn't say much, and returned to the City Lord's Mansion without saying a word. Duanmu Xu originally wanted to inquire about the news about the assassin who ambushed him, but seeing that the third princess kept silent, he didn't want to ask again, but after Duanmu Li left a few people to bury the corpse returned, he carefully asked if he had found any useful clues.

However, these ambushers came prepared, completely covering up the clues that could reveal their identities, so Duanmu Xu also found nothing.

The third princess who returned to Songzhou City was very depressed. Everyone thought that the third princess would react like this when she was frightened, so she didn't think much about it. Only Mr. Xiao knew why the third princess was depressed, but it was inconvenient for Mr. Xiao to ask more about royal affairs, so the third princess locked herself in the courtyard and did not eat or drink.

And Ma Fan was sent back to his residence by the third princess and handed over to the care of Chief Manager Xiao.

Chief Manager Xiao found a younger family member from the City Lord's Mansion and told him that he must take good care of Ma Fan, and invited Ma Fan to a famous surgeon in Songzhou City to treat his external injuries. After all, the scars crisscrossing Ma Fan's whole body are shocking.

After falling asleep in bed for two days and two nights, Ma Fan finally woke up.

"Where is this............ Ma Fan opened his eyes and shook his head, only then did he see that this seemed to be his residence in the City Lord's Mansion.

"I'm so tired............ Ma Fan felt as if his body was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and after struggling for a long time, he finally sat up straight.

Under the severe pain of "hiss..............", Ma Fan noticed that there were bandaged wounds everywhere on his body.
