After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

A colleague closest to him opened his eyelids and said, "There are still three days to go. It's hard to say whether we can live to see the emperor. What can we think?"

"The assassin's target is His Highness, how afraid are you?" The other person turned over and yawned.

"That's not what you said. Swords have no eyes. We successfully found His Highness. His Highness has already regarded us as a thorn in his side. What do you think he will do to us?"

"What you said makes sense. Anyway, he has been deeply offended. Let's take a copy of him in front of the emperor when we go back and mutilate his brothers and feet. This crime is enough to make him unable to turn over."

"Yes, we must complain to the emperor when we return. If this cancerous Mo Ziyan succeeds to the throne, we may die without a burial place."

This sentence stirred up all the sleeping colleagues. They all gritted their teeth and wished they could return home immediately to attack Mo Ziyan.

The envoy who was sleeping in the innermost room sat up with his bedding in his arms.

"Don't panic, everyone. His Highness has said that when we cross the border tomorrow, we will hang his name on the top of the carriage. If he still sends people to assassinate him, it will mean that there is no 300 taels of silver here, and he will bring it upon himself."

Gong Xishuo's words comforted everyone, and everyone nodded in praise.

"During this journey, I have come to realize that His Highness is smart, kind to his own people, and ruthless to bad people."

"Yes, we have to talk to other colleagues in private when we go back. Those high positions are occupied by virtuous people."

"We have to wait until we get back to plan everything. Let's get some rest." The candlelight in the room gradually weakened, Gong Xishuo glanced at the closed doors and windows and lay down.

The further away Nangong Zeyue was from the capital, the stronger the longing in her heart became.

He carefully put away the unread notebook, took out paper and charcoal and wrote the letter at his desk.

Holding the pen in my hand, I have all kinds of thoughts in my heart but don’t know how to write.

She may still be that black-hearted woman after all, so don't try to arouse the love thread in her heart.

It would be best for her to let time dilute the love in her heart, right?

Nangong Zeyue hesitated for a long time and only wrote six simple words on the paper.

I'll be crossing the border tomorrow, don't miss it!

The signature is Mo Zixuan.

After putting away the paper and pen, Nangong Zeyue undressed and walked to the bed.

Fourth watch time.

A group of men in black ejected from the woods beside the official road like ghosts and headed straight for the town.

Under the silver moonlight, the group of men in black quickly disappeared on the official road.

When the group of men in black came outside the inn.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle pierced the night sky outside the inn, like a nightingale screaming.

Hearing the sound of swords being unsheathed, the Black Dragon Pond disciples hiding around the inn jumped out from the darkness one after another.

In an instant, swords and swords flashed outside the inn, and the two groups quickly intertwined.

As the crisp collision of swords sounded, the Black Dragon Pool disciples who had already slept in the inn heard the sound and flew out with swords in hand.

Seeing that there were more people on the other side than his own, the man in black prepared to fight quickly and launched a fierce attack with lightning speed.

The sword gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

The Black Dragon Pond disciples all had extraordinary skills. They all moved forward together and responded calmly, quickly forcing the men in black to retreat step by step.

The blade of the sword caused the leaves on the trees to dance wildly. As the Black Dragon Pond disciples became more and more courageous as they fought, screams came one after another, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

The innkeeper and the waiter were so frightened that they shivered in bed when they heard the noise outside.

The clever waiter got out of bed and crawled under the bed to hide.

The envoys at Datongpu all sat up, with panic on their faces.

"Don't panic, I believe His Highness's senior brothers can repel the assassins." Gong Xishuo pretended to be calm and comforted everyone.

"Yes, His Highness will be blessed if he survives the catastrophe. He is the destined emperor and will be protected by the gods." Someone immediately agreed.

The voice of the speaker was trembling, and the rest of the people did not respond. They all prayed secretly in their hearts, hoping that tonight would be the same as the previous few times, without any danger.

Every time they heard a scream outside, they all shuddered in unison.

In the upper room of the inn.

Nangong Jun stood at the window with a long sword in hand and observed the battle outside.

Listening to the fierce fighting outside, Nangong Zeyue lost all sleep.

He got out of bed and took the sword from the hanger.

"Your Highness! Don't be impulsive."

Nangong Jun walked quickly to Nangong Zeyue's side, holding Nangong Zeyue's right arm tightly with one hand.

"Senior Brother, let me go out and take a look. I don't feel at ease. We have poison in our hands. We are not afraid if we can't win." Nangong Zeyue was afraid that her senior brothers would be harmed in the fight.

Those were the brothers he grew up with, more than family members.

"No, Master has told me that no one can get close to you unless I die."

Nangong Jun's words were decisive and did not allow Nangong Zeyue to refute, and the big hand holding his arm showed no intention of letting go.

Seeing that Nangong Zeyue was no longer stubborn with him, Nangong Jun pulled him to the window.

"Look, our people have the upper hand. Lao Qi is carrying the poison Miss Jiang gave you. He will never hesitate when it's time to take action. If you go out, it will only make them more helpless."

Nangong Zeyue once again lamented that he had not practiced martial arts well before, and some of his brothers had been injured trying to protect him.

Going out now really made the senior brothers worry about starting a killing spree.

He looked at the glint of swords under the moonlight and said, "Senior Brother, if you continue to lead me to practice in the future, it won't be a problem if I always hide behind you."

"good.

"careful!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound of breaking air. Nangong Jun pulled Nangong Zeyue behind him and swung the long sword in his hand.

"Dang!"

A crisp sound of sharp weapons colliding sounded, and the flying arrow feathers were knocked to the ground.

Nangong Jun quickly closed the open window and turned around to blow out the candle in the room.

"Bang bang bang!"

The arrows in the dark shot over like meteors, all nailed to the window board.

"Your Highness, move and stay in the seventh room. The other party has found the room you live in."

Nangong Jun didn't say anything and pulled Nangong Zeyue to the room across the corridor.

Outside the inn, the leader of the black-clothed men saw that most of their people were killed or injured.

The archer rushed towards him, "Boss, the other party is too cunning, the mission failed."

The screams of his companions came to his ears. The leader saw that the other party's fighting style was weird, like a formation that had been practiced thousands of times.

Seeing that there were only a few people left, the enemy's people quickly surrounded them. The man in black made a sword flower, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Retreat!"

The remaining men in black were like frightened birds, and disappeared in the vast night in a few jumps.

When the soldiers at the border guard post heard the sound and rushed over, only the remains of limbs and corpses were left on the ground, and no one was breathing.

In the inn, the envoys saw that the fierce fighting outside had disappeared, and everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they all looked at Gongxi Shuo.

Gongxi Shuo swallowed his saliva, "I, I'll go see His Highness."
