After the secret guard left, Xia Tan'er fell into deep thought with a solemn expression.

There are all kinds of signs that the smallpox incident must be man-made, but who has such a big deal and wants to kill the people of Tanglin?

Before Feng Muchi was kidnapped in an attempt to make people think that he had died in Huangquan, during which she was wrongfully accused of murder has not been cleared, the accident in the military camp of the Nine Emperor Uncles and her imprisonment and Feng Muchi's abduction all happened on the same day, and the smallpox in this village appeared after finding Feng Muchi.

It is impossible for the mastermind behind the scenes to know that Feng Muchi is allergic to straw piles, but if Feng Muchi stays here all the time, no one will come to save him, he will definitely starve to death, and the symptoms on his face are very similar to smallpox.

But if Feng Muchi hadn't been locked up here, Xia Tan'er wouldn't have known about such a place at all, and the most important thing was that this place was still the location of the Xue family's side branch clan.

Its layout ingenuity can really be described as interlocking, as if there is a thread that connects everything together, Xia Tan'er sorted out the timeline of the matter is good, but the truth of the matter is ethereal, so that no matter how you grasp it, you can't grasp it.

If you urinate for too long, you will attract the attention of Beiling Tuo, and maybe they will come to look for her, Xia Tan'er saw that the time was almost up, so she went back to the village entrance alone.

Coincidentally, as soon as he arrived there, he saw Xu Zhibing hurrying on a horse not far away, followed by twenty or thirty guards with knives.

Seeing this imposing scene, half of the stone in Xia Tan'er's heart fell.

"It's a coincidence, and I didn't waste any time."

"Tan'er, you're back."

Seeing Xia Tan'er coming back, Beiling Tuo got up and greeted him with a smile, this courteous look made Xia Tan'er stop and couldn't help but glance up and down at Beiling Tuo.

If there is nothing to offer, it is either a traitor or a thief, and there must be a demon when something goes wrong.

Seeing Beiling Tuo approaching, Xia Tan'er subconsciously took a step back, and then pointed in the direction of the entrance of the village.

"His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince, Lord Xu has already arrived, I'll go over and greet you."

Beiling Tuogui is the prince, how can there be a reason to welcome the courtiers of other countries, but since Xia Tan'er mentioned it, these etiquettes will be invalidated for the time being.

"Hongu is with you."

Xia Tan'er shook her shoulders disappreliantly, and walked towards Xu Zhibing with Beiling Tuo one step first, Beiling Tuo followed closely and refused to fall, Xue Yang, who watched this scene, couldn't help but smile playfully.

"These two are kind of interesting."

Seeing that Xu Zhibing had arrived at the entrance of the village, Xue Yang also walked up.

"Lord Xu."

"Xia Guan has seen the county lord of Jialing."

Xu Zhibing's etiquette was neat and neat, and he forcibly stopped Xia Tan'er's approaching footsteps.

Xia Tan'er was stunned for a while before she realized that she had been crowned the county lord of Jialing by the emperor, and she was quite rusty and half-squatted down to help Xu Zhibing.

"Lord Xu, please get up, you and I are friends, this kind of false etiquette can be done in the palace, and they are all their own people outside, so this kind of etiquette seems too obvious."

"The lower officials listen to the county lord."

"Then follow Sister Lin's and call me Tan'er, it will be kinder."

"Yes, Tan'er."

"Eh, that's right, Lord Xu is here for me to introduce to you, this is His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince of Beiling Kingdom, Beiling Tuo. This is Xue Yang, the patriarch of the village, and Xue Chen's cousin. ”

"Etiquette and the like are exempted for the time being, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince and Lord Xu are both kind-hearted people, and they will not care about this matter at such a critical stall."
