Ning Xiaofan smiled and said: "I think your mansion empire is doing too badly now. Is it possible for a vassal state to be touched by its temper?"

Xia Jinxi said coldly: "This is the Song Kingdom. Even if the Yuan Kingdom attacks the Song Kingdom, it is not disrespectful to our Great Xia Empire. I just don't know how far it has developed now."

Ning Xiaofan said: "Whether it is the Song Kingdom or the Yuan Kingdom, this is the territory of your Daxia Empire. If even you, a royal princess, think so, then your Daxia Empire may really have no hope.

Also, getting married is never a good way to become stronger. If you want to become stronger, you have to start with yourself."

Xia Jinxi glanced at Ning Xiaofan and sighed secretly.

If Ning Xiaofan is willing to follow him back to the Daxia Empire, why not worry about the rise of the Daxia Empire?

But Ning Xiaofan had no intention of going to the Great Xia Empire with him.

Suddenly, a roaring sound was heard in the distance.

The sound came closer and closer, and even Ning Xiaofan and Xia Jinxi were startled and quickly turned their heads to look over.

At this time, about ten miles outside Linyang City, the place was filled with people. Judging from the appearance, there must be at least thousands of people.

Xia Jinxi was shocked when he saw it.

"That's the flag of the Yuan Kingdom. Has the Yuan Kingdom attacked?"

"Yuan Guo?"

Ning Xiaofan also looked over. Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance, the flag did have the word "Yuan" written on it.

"The enemy is coming, the robbers from the Yuan Kingdom are coming."

The soldiers on the city gate tower shouted loudly.

At this time, the gatekeeper general immediately lined up his troops and set up all the archers, ready to shoot arrows.

"Princess, since these are people from the Yuan Kingdom, if we go there, they can retreat. After all, if you arrive at the Yuan Kingdom, you will be the queen of the Yuan Kingdom."

Dong'er looked at Xia Jinxi seriously.

Xia Jinxi nodded and said, "I can go there, maybe I can prevent this catastrophe."

As she said, she was ready to move forward.

Ning Xiaofan immediately stopped in front of her.

"What? Are you prepared to single-handedly prevent the dispute between the two countries? It seems that you take your status as a princess too seriously." Ning Xiaofan said sarcastically.

Xia Jinxi glared at Ning Xiaofan and said, "They are all subjects of the Daxia Empire, and I will not allow them to kill each other."

"What? People of the Daxia Empire? Haha, it seems that you are overthinking. In the eyes of these people, they can be people of the Song Dynasty or Yuan Dynasty, but they absolutely cannot be people of the Daxia Empire. If you are now

In the past, even if you revealed your identity, I'm afraid it wouldn't end well."

"Why? Didn't the Yuan State cause trouble with the Song State because I was lost? After all, I was lost in the Song State. The Yuan State would naturally think that the Song State had detained me. If I stood up, it would be proof

The Song people did not detain me, so the dispute between the two countries will naturally end."

Ning Xiaofan chuckled: "You love your people of the Daxia Empire very much. This is the honor and luck of the people of the Daxia Empire. But you are still too naive. If it is just you who lost it, and you have to blame

The Song and Yuan states don't have to come forward at all, your brother who is the emperor will do it

What, if the Yuan State really attacked the Song State for such a reason, there is only one explanation. The Yuan State wanted to invade the Song State's land. In this era of disputes between princes, nothing is more valuable than land.

I believe that the price of a princess like you is not comparable to that of Linyang City."

"you……"

Xia Jinxi's face turned blue with anger, but she didn't know how to refute.

At this time, Dong'er said: "Princess, I think what Mr. Ning said is not unreasonable. These people from the Yuan Kingdom are coming with great force, and they have never seen you, and they don't know that you are the princess of the empire. Maybe they will still..."

I thought you were pretending, but then I might be in real trouble."

Xia Jinxi was hesitant, and he didn't know what to do at this time.

Just then.

The city gate suddenly opened.

"I am here to meet you, Your Highness the Princess!"

A man in his 50s walked up to Xia Jinxi and knelt down.

There were more than 20 guards behind the man, and they also knelt down with the man.

Especially one of them looked gloomy when he saw Ning Xiaofan.

When Xia Jinxi saw this man, he immediately said: "Prefect Cao, please get up. What is going on here? Why are you fighting with the Yuan Kingdom?"

This person called Cao Taishou is Cao Xiong.

Cao Xiong glanced at Xia Jinxi and then at Ning Xiaofan next to him.

"Princess, who is this?"

Xia Jinxi frowned, looked at Cao Xiong and said, "Prefect Cao, I'm asking you a question."

Cao Xiong then said: "The princess must know the reason why the Yuan Kingdom used troops."

Xia Jinxi said coldly: "Cao Xiong, what do you mean by this? Why do I know?"

Cao Xiong said: "The king of the Yuan Kingdom used the Song Dynasty to detain the princess as an excuse to send troops to Linyang City. Not only that, he also united with the Haras Kingdom in the north. In the past month, the Yuan Kingdom has frequently attacked Linyang City.

By using troops, our Song people suffered numerous casualties."

Xia Jinxi frowned when she heard Cao Xiong's words.

He really didn't expect that her loss would actually trigger a war between the two countries.

"Anyone with a clear eye can probably see that the Yuan Dynasty just used the princess as an excuse. Is it possible that Cao Taishou really believed it? I think even the king of the Song Dynasty would not believe it, and the Yuan Dynasty

If we unite with foreign races to attack the vassal states of the Great Xia Empire, neither the royal family of the Great Xia Empire nor the vassal states will sit idly by and ignore it."

Cao Xiong looked at Ning Xiaofan. Although he was dressed the same as a citizen of the Daxia Empire, his hair was very short, and he didn't look like a citizen of the Daxia Empire at all.

"You are not the princess's bodyguard. Looking at you, you seem to be from the north."

Ning Xiaofan didn't know what the so-called people from the north meant, but the Yunfeng Mountains were indeed to the north of Linyang City. He smiled and said to Cao Xiong, "So that's it."

When Cao Xiong heard Ning Xiaofan's words, his face turned dark.

Then he yelled: "Catch this Yuan Guo spy."

Immediately, the 20 or so people immediately surrounded Ning Xiaofan and Xia Jinxi.

Ning Xiaofan frowned slightly and looked around.

Xia Jinxi was also very surprised. He immediately looked at Cao Xiong and said, "Prefect Cao, what do you mean? He is my friend."

Cao Xiong said: "Princess, I am very sorry. I can guarantee your safety, but I suspect that this person is a spy sent by the Yuan Kingdom. Maybe you have also been deceived by him."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Cao Xiong, drive these people away quickly, otherwise not only will you tell my brother the matter, but you will also tell the king of Song Dynasty about it."

Cao Xiong was not afraid of Xia Jinxi's words. Instead, he smiled and said: "For us, the king of the Song Dynasty, anyone who threatens the Song Dynasty is an enemy, no matter who it is."

"You..." Xia Jinxi's face turned blue with anger after listening to Cao Xiong's words.

The authority of the Daxia Empire is now getting lower and lower in the vassal states.

"Take it!"

Cao Xiong said coldly.

The 20 or so people immediately went up together to capture Ning Xiaofan.

However, when they rushed towards Ning Xiaofan, Ning Xiaofan, who was originally on the spot, slipped and easily dodged these people, and arrived in front of Cao Xiong in the blink of an eye.

Just when he was about to take action against Cao Xiong, there was a flash of cold light, and a long knife stabbed directly at Ning Xiaofan's head.

Ning Xiaofan did not dare to be careless and backed away continuously, staring closely at the person in front of him.

This was a man who wielded a long sword, and Ning Xiaofan had seen him before. When he had just traveled to this world, Ning Xiaofan killed an aristocratic young man named Cao Xu. At that time, he heard that they were from

In Linyang City, it is obvious that Cao Xu and Cao Xiong should be related.

As for the man using the long sword, it was Cao Xu's former guard, Ding Kui.

After Cao Xu died, Ding Kui escaped.

Ning Xiaofan never expected to meet Ding Kui here again.

"I didn't expect that we would meet again."

Ding Kui stared at Ning Xiaofan coldly, his eyes full of resentment at this time.

Ning Xiaofan smiled softly: "You didn't thank me for sparing your life last time, so why are you coming to attack me again? You won't be so lucky this time."

When Cao Xiong heard Ning Xiaofan's words, he immediately looked at Ding Kui doubtfully: "Guard Ding, do you know him?"

Ding Kui said: "Yes, Master Xu's death has something to do with him."

When Cao Xiong heard Ding Kui's words, he raised his eyebrows, looked Ning Xiaofan up and down, and said, "Did he kill him?"

"It does matter," Ding Kui said.

Cao Xiong immediately said in a deep voice: "If you dare to kill my nephew, this is already a capital crime. Guard Ding, please kill him."
