My wife has a secret

Chapter 196 The Patron Behind the Scenes
The city defender thought Xu Qing was intentionally showing off his achievements, and cursed him in his heart, but still forced a smile on his face.

"This extremely yin girl was born in a yin year, yin month, yin day, yin hour. Even her birth date and time are composed of yin stems and yin branches... Where do you think we can find such a person?"

Xu Qing was slightly distracted, but still managed to control the emotions on his face.

The extremely yin woman?

What did the important figure of Liao State want to do when he went to great lengths to find such women?
Before Xu Qing could think about this issue in detail, they arrived at their destination.

It is a tavern with a triangular flag hanging high and the air filled with fragrance.

Yang Xianning's eyes were slightly cold, and the light in her eyes flashed.

But she hid it well and no one noticed.

When the owner of the tavern saw the official uniform of the third-rank city defender, he did not salute like ordinary people. Instead, he moved his gaze back to Xu Qing and the others.

"Here, the letter! I've brought the person here. Please put in a few good words for me when the time comes."

The city defender slapped the document on the counter of the tavern owner. There was no one else here, only a ray of setting sun shining into the middle through the skylight on the roof.

The boss took a look at the document and then glanced at the girl Xu Qing brought.

After the silence was over, he stretched out his hands and tore the document into two.

Xu Qing was horrified by this scene. Just when he thought that the tavern owner had seen through his identity and was ready to fight to the death, the other party actually pulled out a piece of thin paper from the gap in the document.

Is there such a trick?
When Xu Qing saw this, he suddenly realized why the city guard placed the pass in the light and examined it carefully.

It turns out they were confirming this paper!

"Qinghe County, born at 5:05 pm in the sixth year of Yuanping, Zhao Liang'er."

On the thin paper were not only the girls' birth dates, hometowns, but also their portraits.

After confirming Ryoko's information, the tavern owner winked at the waiter standing on the other side of the counter, indicating that he should continue writing it down.

After recording the information of the two young girls, he didn't even look at the city guard, but clapped his hands at the air.

In an instant, the door slammed shut, tightly fitting.

In the shadows of the tavern, many figures appeared without anyone noticing.

They had fierce looks and their bodies and faces were covered with scars. They looked like people who were not to be trifled with.

Moreover, the pupils of these people were vicious and bloodshot, and they were obviously a group of desperate criminals.

"I say, the people leading the sheep are Zhang San and Li Si, right?"

The tavern owner snorted coldly and locked his eyes on Xu Qing and Yang Xianning.

"Although Zhang San and Li Si are not very capable, they are willing to endure hardships and go to a remote place like Qinghe County."

The tavern owner picked up the jade ruler on the table, clapped it twice on his palm, and asked, "You two are not human traffickers, why are you trying to rob the goods on the road?"

After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and said contemptuously: "Do you know whose goods you are robbing? Do you want to die?"

The tavern owner raised his voice in the last sentence, sounding aggressive.

Although Xu Qing had seen the heroine's skills and knew that she would not necessarily lose, swords and knives have no eyes, and he and the two girls did not know kung fu and had no ability to protect themselves.

More importantly, if something happened in Shangjing City, it would be like relieving oneself on the head of the Liao emperor, which would inevitably attract attention.

He didn't think that the two of them could fight against a country.

"King Xiang."

When Xu Qing racked his brains, thinking of a way to get through the crisis, the female knight behind him opened her red lips and spoke a name. Liao was a neighboring country of Qi. When Xu Qing was in charge of Chengxuanfang, he also read the information stored in the square and knew that the kings and princes of Liao were different from those of Qi.

Because of the repeated suppression and power reduction by the aunt, the State of Qi has completely become a one-man show in the palace. The royal family basically only has the privilege of eating, drinking and having fun, and no one dares to act as regent.

But the Liao Dynasty was different. The Liao Dynasty had a vast territory, and most of the subjects on the land were Han people. Only the nobles who were granted titles were of pure Khitan blood.

In this world, although the Han people could achieve great success and be granted titles and noble ranks, it was extremely difficult for them to enter the upper class.

The entire power class of the Liao Dynasty was like a huge pyramid. The more powerful one was, the more likely one was to occupy titles such as prince and marquis.

The King Xiang just mentioned by the heroine is the most formidable force in the Liao Kingdom.

He was even called the Thousand-Eyed Buddha by the people of Liao.

"Oh?"

The owner of the tavern originally wanted to kill these two blind guys, but after listening to the woman's words, they seemed to understand who the customer of this business was.

They knew it but still took action. Could it be that they are from other forces?

The boss gave up his murderous intent due to this little fear and began to question the two men's origins.

"You know that, but you still dare to act so presumptuously?"

"It's obviously you who are the ones who are so presumptuous!"

Although Xu Qing didn't understand how the female hero guessed the identity of the financial backer, if he wanted to survive now, he could only take advantage of the situation and bluff.

He kicked over the wooden chair beside him and sat directly on the table opposite the counter, staring at the other person.

"My master asked us to intercept the goods because he was afraid that you would make mistakes and delay the important matter of King Xiang... What? With your mediocre skills, aren't you afraid that you will be robbed and killed halfway, and all your efforts will be wasted?"

This sudden feeling of oppression made the tavern owner stunned for a moment, and he couldn't tell who owned the store.

The guy opposite was a little timid at first, why is he different now?

"Oh, you all know the intentions of the King Xiang and the value of these two guys, so stop acting here. Don't think I don't know, you just want to kill us and embezzle the reward from the King."

On the way they walked earlier, Xu Qing had already found out the identities of the two girls.

There were frequent wars on the border and the Liao Kingdom had a small population. It would definitely be difficult to meet so many conditions.

"This……"

The tavern owner was shocked by these words. As a subordinate of Prince Xiang, he naturally knew that the prince had been searching for this thing for many years.

If he is really accused of killing people and seizing goods for profit, it will be difficult for him to die.

"We don't ask for much. Let us go to see King Xiang and we will explain this matter to him clearly."

The boss had sweat on his forehead and he no longer saw that Xu Qing was bluffing.

He was in a panic, like an ant trying to figure out what was happening in a pot.

Although Zhang San and Li Si died in suspicious circumstances, in the entire Liao Kingdom, it was estimated that only a few powerful Khitan families knew about the prince's search for the Yin woman.

The other party knew the lamb's origins and knew that Zhang San and Li Si were people sent by King Xiang, but they still dared to kill him.

Doesn't this mean that they are not afraid of the prince?

What's more, that person just said that he would explain when he saw King Xiang...so, I just need to pass on the message.
