Chapter 431: Accurate News, Sword Tomb Anomaly

Qin Xiao still held a great deal of trust for the Thirteenth Imperial Prince’s people.

Ordering someone to serve spirit fruits and pastries, Qin Xiao also poured the man a small cup of Spirit Liquid.

“How should I address you? Traveling from the Imperial Capital must have been exhausting. Drink this cup of Spirit Liquid first to soothe your fatigue.”

Qin Xiao figured this person was sent by the Thirteenth Imperial Prince to deliver a message. Since he was the Imperial Prince’s messenger, offering a small cup of Spirit Liquid was not excessive.

“Many thanks, Tower Lord Qin. My surname is Xiao, and I am one of the Imperial Prince’s guards. However, I did not travel from the Imperial Capital; I have remained in Qingzhou all along.”

After drinking the Spirit Liquid, Xiao Liangping replied to Qin Xiao.

“So you are Guard Xiao. A pleasure to meet you. You say you have been in Qingzhou this whole time? Could you be the Thirteenth Imperial Prince’s Hidden Agent?

“So that is how it is. The Thirteenth Imperial Prince really is a good friend. Thank him for me when you return. Rest assured, he has my friendship. We will always be good friends.”

After hearing the explanation, a warmth welled up in Qin Xiao’s heart.
