In the middle of the night, there was a quiet place in the Yanwang Mansion, and in the dark night, only Nangong Mo's courtyard was faintly lit with a few inconspicuous candles.

In the study, Nangong Mo sat calmly in the study on the side, she was calm, but the person sitting next to her obviously did not have this concentration. Xiao Qianwei looked outside with some concern and asked, "Cousin-in-law, will someone really come to assassinate tonight?" Nangong Mo put down the scroll, raised his head and said with a light smile: "It's not an assassination, it's an annihilation." ”

Xiao Qianwei's expression was even more stiff, "Xiao Qianye has so much courage? ”

Nangong Mo said: "If it succeeds, everyone in Yanwangfu will die, who dares to say that he did it?" Xiao Qianwei grinned a little reluctantly, and said, "What if it doesn't work?" ”

"There is no evidence, and no one dares to say that he did it." Nangong Modao.

Xiao Qianchi was also a little anxious, "Then aren't we helpless to deal with him?" My cousin and third brother are still in prison. Nangong Mo shrugged his shoulders and said without any burden: "He is the emperor." "There must be people in this world who have the emperor to have the means, but obviously not their group of people who have neither power nor soldiers. It is still necessary to be realistic, if it is the king of Yan or any vassal king who is now in Jinling, maybe the situation is different.

"Let's do that"

Lin Changfeng, who was sitting on the other side, sneered and said, "Don't worry, two sons, Miss Mo is teasing you." If she was really not sure, she would have led people away a long time ago. "The county lord of Star City is not a stubborn person who would rather die than give in, he can't beat it, run! It couldn't be more natural.

The two kings and grandsons silently turned their heads to look at Nangong Mo, and Nangong Mo felt that they had read the taste of resentment from the eyes of both of them.

sighed helplessly: "You still have to be careful, the sword has no eyes." ”

So, is it really no problem? My cousin is really not a good person.

Nangong Mo looked at Lin Changfeng and asked, "Are you ready?" Lin Changfeng nodded and said, "Naturally, as long as your popularity is really as good as you think." Although he really doubted that those families would really help? Nangong Mo waved his hand and said, "I don't expect them to make a move, they just need to show up at the right time." They don't have to exert any effort, and they won't offend Xiao Qianye too much, so that His Royal Highness King Yan owes them a favor, what are they not happy about? ”

"Cousin-in-law, is it really good for you to take your father as a favor?

Nangong Mo glanced at the two of them, "Aren't the two of you the sons of King Yan?" "If it weren't for the three of you, where wouldn't the county lord and Jun Mo go with the eldest princess?

The two were speechless and silently lowered their heads.

"Mother's side," Nangong Mo asked.

Lin Changfeng said: "Jin Hao is over there with people, don't worry." Moreover, unless it is absolutely necessary, those people should not want to hurt Princess Changping. In fact, the two sons should also go to be with the princess. ”

"How's that going to work? My father knew that if we left my cousin here alone, he would beat us to death. Xiao Qianchi and the two brothers said palely. If the father had known that they were not only protected by a woman, but also left each other to deal with the killer alone, he would definitely have killed them. Lin Changfeng had also heard that His Royal Highness King Yan had always pursued "filial piety under the stick", so he nodded with a smile and understanding.

"Here we are." Wei, who was standing at the door with a sword in his hand, suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice.

Nangong Mo hooked his lips and smiled, stood up and said with a smile: "It's good to come." Let them in. Remember to leave a living mouth. ”

The other party really came for Nangong Mo, and a group of black-clothed people entered the Yan Wang's Mansion and went straight to Nangong Mo's courtyard. As soon as he entered the Yanwang Mansion, the man in black was stunned at first. It's so smooth that it always makes people feel a little uneasy. But they couldn't help but come in, and they had their lives, even if they knew that this Yanwang Mansion was a sea of swords and fire, they would inevitably break through.

"Rush in!"

A few men in black hurried towards the two lighted studies, while others went to the bedrooms and other places in separate directions. As soon as his hand touched the door of the study, a strong wind rushed out of the room, and the two people who walked in front immediately flew out. At the same time, the door panel of the study also fell to the ground, and a gray-clothed and gray-haired young man stood at the door with a sword in his hand and looked at them coldly. Passing past the young man, the people inside also strolled out. Nangong Mo was holding a plain lantern in his hand, looking at the people in front of him with a demure expression, and sighed, "Your Excellency is inevitably too anxious." ”

The man in black snorted and said in a deep voice, "Do it!" ”

Without saying a word, a group of men in black rushed towards the crowd. Suddenly there was a sound of fighting in the courtyard. Nangong Mo stood under the eaves, Fang stood beside her, looked at the courtyard and said in a low voice: "County Lord, these killers are not ordinary palace guards. "They have also fought with the people in the palace a few times, and the level of the palace guards is still a little low.

"It's not from the Water Pavilion either."

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "Xiao Qianye still has some brains, these people are the secret guards in the palace. ”

"Dark Guard? Aren't they" Fang was a little surprised, didn't the secret guard already take refuge in Xiao Chun, Xiao Qianye still dared to believe them.

Nangong Mo said lightly: "The dark guard can take refuge in Xiao Chun, and naturally he can also take refuge in Xiao Qianye." What's more, it's not that no one wants to find death, and not every one of those secret guards is a lonely person who uses these people, and he doesn't feel distressed when he dies, and he can shirk his responsibility. Xiao Qianye was rare to be smart. ”

"So what do we do?" Before, they planned to make this matter unrelated to Xiao Qianye.

Nangong Mo sneered and said, "Where is it so easy to ask for a relationship?" Don't say that he sent these people, even if they weren't, I would turn him into yes. ”

"County Lord be careful!" Fang casually pulled out the sword beside him, and stepped forward to block the person who pounced on Nangong Mo. Nangong Mo carried the lantern, took a step back to the side indifferently, and saw another person rushing towards him, raising his hand, a silver light flashed, the man in black

A silver light flashed, and the man in black fell to the ground.

Soon, everyone in the Zixiao Hall hidden in the shadows joined in. The man in black gradually felt a little struggling. Although he had long guessed that there must be a master guard in Yanwang's Mansion, no one would have thought that Nangong Mo would arrange so many masters in Yanwang's welfare. Even in the palace, I am afraid that there are not so many skilled masters. Obviously, Nangong Mo had already guessed that they would appear tonight. And Wei Shizi, who has such strength, is no wonder His Majesty is so jealous.

The black-clothed people in the lead made a look, and several black-clothed people nodded and turned around and walked in the direction of the outside of the courtyard. Nangong Mo looked at Yiqiē lightly, but did not move. It's as if you don't see it at all. These black-clothed people who originally wanted to think of Princess Changping's courtyard naturally wouldn't have thought that in Princess Changping's courtyard at this time, there was a top master whose martial arts were slightly higher than Nangong Mo's.

Xiao Qianchi clenched the sword in his hand and slashed down a man in black with some difficulty. I couldn't help but feel a little out of breath. He has not been in good health since he was a child, and he has only practiced some body-strengthening moves slightly, and his martial arts can be said to be nothing compared to his two younger brothers, and he is even more weak against these secret guard masters. I can only pick up two people who have injured people on one side and ignore them. But even so, there are dangers. Before he could catch his breath, a man in black swung a knife at him. Xiao Qianchi's eyes widened in horror.

I thought that the pain in the body of the general did not appear, but in the blink of an eye, a long silk of Baise was wrapped around the knife that had fallen on top of his head. With a slight flick, the long knife flew away from the black-clothed man's hand. Xiao Qianchi reacted and hurriedly stabbed him with a sword.

"Cousin-in-law" looked at the woman holding the green lantern in front of her, Xiao Qianchi only felt ashamed and inexplicable.

Nangong Mo said lightly: "Don't be reluctant, stand behind me." ”

"I, I" Xiao Qianchi blushed a little, even if he was weak, he was a big man, and his younger brothers were killing enemies, how could he Nangong Mo look at her calmly and said: "Everyone has their own strengths, and it's not a shame to know martial arts." ”

"Yes, cousin." Xiao Qianchi lowered his head and hid his reddish eyes. Not knowing martial arts is not a shameful thing, and this sentence is not the first time he has heard of it. The mother concubine had also told him many times, but Xiao Qianchi never felt that the woman in front of him said that it made him sour. Not knowing martial arts is indeed not a shame for ordinary people, and even ordinary people attach more importance to splendid articles than martial arts. But the Yan Wangfu is different, his father is a vassal king who guards the frontier, and he, as the son of the Yan Wang, is a powerless literati. Even if his article is full of flowers, every time he looks at his father's disappointed eyes and looks at his younger brothers' relieved little faces, Xiao Qianchi feels that he has no shame to face his parents.

The mother said that because she wanted to comfort him. The people of the underground said this because they were afraid that he would be angry. Only the cousin-in-law in front of him, who was a few years younger than himself, said what she said made him feel as if it was like this. Not knowing martial arts is not a big deal.

Nangong Mo didn't have the time to care what Xiao Qianchi was thinking at this time, he just stood aside and blocked the enemies who rushed to him from time to time. She can only ensure Xiao Qianchi's personal safety, and mental health is not within the scope of her responsibility.

"Miss Mo, it's almost, isn't it?" The Changfeng Childe in the fight asked a little impatiently. These black-clothed people are worthy of the name of the Great Inner Secret Guard, their martial arts are really not bad, and there are many people. However, Nangong Mo had almost all the manpower of the Zixiao Hall in Jinling City in advance in Yanwang's Mansion. Zixiao Hall happens to be a murderous business, so it is naturally easy to do.

Nangong Mo smiled slightly, raised his hand and threw the lantern in his hand. The lantern fell on an old tree in the courtyard, and I saw a firelight sweep away, and the fire spread rapidly, instantly illuminating the entire Yanwang Mansion.

The men in black were stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted, but they couldn't do anything more. Because the number of killers in the Zixiao Hall that appeared around them was more than twice as many as theirs.

Outside the Yanwang Mansion

A group of people armed with swords and wearing armor surrounded the Yan Wang's Mansion. Not long after, there was a noisy sound at the end of the street, and the generals stationed at the gate of Yanwang's Mansion were stunned, and looked up to see a group of people with torches and sticks, hurrying towards here. Frowning, the general hurriedly summoned a soldier to whisper a few words, the soldier nodded, and quickly left the Yan Wangfu and ran in the direction of the palace.

"Guys, stop!" The general stepped forward and stopped the comer.

The person at the head was Qin Zixu, the eldest son of the Qin family, and Qin Zixu said in a deep voice: "This general, what does this mean?" ”

The general said, "Gongzi Qin, it's curfew time now, what do you mean by that?" ”

Qin Zixu pointed to the Yan Wangfu behind him and said, "Didn't the general see it?" Yanwang's Mansion is on fire, so we naturally came to help Yanwangfu put out the fire. The general obviously saw that there was a fire inside, why did he send people to surround the palace? If we hurt the eldest princess, the county lord of Xingcheng and the two princes of Yan, who of us can afford it? ”

The Qin Mansion is not too far from the Yan Wang's Mansion, and it is said that he rushed to the scene when he saw the firelight. But at such a late hour, Qin Gongzi is still neat, which makes people a little suspicious. But now is the time to ignore these things. Before he could say anything, someone on the other side of the road hurried over, just to see who was the Xie family's mansion who was not dressed?

Behind the Xie family were the people from Princess Lingyi's Mansion and the people from Chengjun Wangfu. These three families all live on the same road, and they are all together at this time.

"Presumptuous, what are you doing here? Don't let people in yet. Something happened to the fifth sister, this palace wants your head! Princess Lingyi had a gloomy face and walked out of the back of the crowd quickly.

Looking at this group of people, the general secretly complained in his heart. None of these people can afford to be offended by him from the fourth grade, but "Princess Qiyu, the last general will receive the order."

The order will be received is not to allow anyone to approach the Yan Palace. ”

Princess Lingyi raised her hand and slapped him in the face, "Who has to order?" Who is so bold as to burn the eldest princess inside? Why don't you burn Hongu to death as well? ”

"The last general will not dare!" The general hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and said secretly in his heart: "Where does it look like it's really going to burn?" ”

"Get out!" Princess Lingyi said, raising her foot and about to break inside, but was stopped by someone, "Princess, please stay!" ”

Another sound of neat footsteps came, and everyone looked back to see that the soldiers of the Eguo Mansion had come. The soldiers of the Eguo Mansion are different from ordinary mansions, all of them are soldiers who have fought on the battlefield, and they are naturally more imposing than others. The Duke of E Guo obviously gave Nangong Mo a lot of face, and personally brought people here, and when he saw a group of people alone at the door, he couldn't help frowning and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The general hurriedly said: "Qi Guogong, there is nothing wrong. The people of the Yanwang Mansion accidentally set fire to something."

"Bullshit!" E Guogong said angrily: "The fighting inside is non-stop, are you deaf as an old man?" What's more, since there is nothing to do, who asked you to lead troops around Yanwang's Mansion at night? "The general secretly wiped his sweat, this old prince is not only the founding veteran, but also the father of the queen's mother, and the grandfather of the emperor's eldest son, he really can't afford to offend.

"The last general of Guogong Mingjian also received an order from Shangfeng, worried that some thieves would take advantage of the chaos to disturb the eldest princess, so that's why"

Princess Lingyi sneered, "It turns out that this palace has become a thief?" ”

E Guogong's temper was old and spicy, and he directly pulled out the saber on his waist and put it on the other party's quilt, "Whose subordinate are you?" ”

The man's face turned pale, "The last general will be the captain of the Jingwei battalion"

E Guogong sneered, "The affairs in Jinling City are managed by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Ying Tianfu Yamen. It's so late, how can the soldiers and horses of the Jingwei battalion be mobilized? ”

"This, this" The sweat beads in the ears of the general, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

E Guogong also ignored him, and said in a deep voice: "Take it for me!" ”

"Yes!" The soldiers behind the Duke of Eguo responded in unison. Duke E glanced at the soldiers and horses surrounding King Yan's mansion lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Follow the old man in and have a look." ”

As soon as she walked into the Yanwang Mansion, a smell of blood rushed to her face, and Princess Lingyi's face suddenly turned pale, "Fifth sister, go with the palace to see the fifth sister!" ”

E Guogong's face was not good-looking, and such a thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Jinling City and sighed, "The old man took someone to see the county lord of Xingcheng." Qin Zixu and the people sent by the Xie family, as well as the steward of the Chengjun Palace, said in unison: "I'll wait with the Duke of the Kingdom to see the Lord of Xingcheng." ”

The more you walked towards Nangong Mo's courtyard, the more dead people there were on the road. Even the heir of a family like Qin Zixu couldn't help but turn a little pale, and only a battle-hardened veteran like Duke E could still look as usual. Entering the courtyard, E Guogong shouted in a deep voice: "Lord of Star City?!" ”

There was silence in the courtyard, only the fire that had not yet been extinguished was still burning, and the whole courtyard was obviously half burned.

"Lord of Star City?"

"Ahem" A light cough sound came from the ruins, and everyone hurriedly stepped forward, and between the firelight, Nangong Mo's face was pale and he was helped to stand up by a young woman. The young woman was holding a long sword in her hand, and there were still undried blood stains on the blade, and Nangong Mo was holding a dagger in her hand, and her clothes were covered with blood. Although he couldn't see any injuries, his pale face showed that his eyes were particularly bright.

"County Lord, are you injured?"

Nangong Mo leaned on the willow, shook his head, and said with a reluctant smile: "Thank you, thank you and all of you for coming to the rescue." ”

Qin Zixu arched his hand and said: "The county lord is strict, we are too late." ”

Duke E looked at the ruins in front of him, frowned, and said, "County Lord? What about others? Nangong Mo sighed and said, "Most of the guards in the palace have died in battle, and some are in the courtyard of my mother and two cousins. Everyone looked at the ground, and sure enough, there were not only people in black, but also people wearing the clothes of the guards of Yanwang's Mansion.

Qin Zixu frowned and said, "Who is so ruthless, does the county lord have a plan in his heart?" ”

Nangong Mo shook his head and said, "Ever since Jun Mo was imprisoned in the prison, I have a faint feeling that someone is secretly watching. Therefore, he sent people to ask for help from the Duke of Eguo and several world friends. Who knows"

E Guogong's face turned pale, "It's really bold!" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, he dared to find out his identity and wipe out these traitors! ”

Nangong Mo lowered his eyes and said: "Jun Mo is now in prison, my mother and I are a woman, and I also ask the prince to uphold justice for us." ”

Looking at Nangong Mo's bloodstains, and still holding the dagger in her hand at this time, E Guogong also knew that she must have gone through a hard battle tonight. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, even if he knew that Nangong Mo's martial arts were not weak, it was not easy to be so strong when he encountered such a thing. Regarding Nangong Mo's weakness at this time, Eguo Gong did not suspect anything.

"Huh?" A person accidentally guessed the arm on the ground with a kick, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but be stunned. Everyone was attracted by his voice, and they all looked down, only to see a dark cyan sound on the arm of a man in black who was cut by a knife on the ground. E Guogong's face turned pale, and he quickly stepped forward to tear the man's clothes, and a clear tattoo was exposed.

Everyone was stunned, but Qin Zixu asked, "Guogong, is there anything special about this tattoo?" ”

E Guogong shook his head and lowered his head to cover the tattoo. Looking up at Nangong Mo, his gaze was a little more suspicious. Eguo Gong has not been a fool in his life, and when he saw this tattoo and guessed some facts, he was disappointed and began to doubt his Nangong Mo's motives.

Others don't know this tattoo, how can the Duke of Eguo, as a person who came out of the country with the first emperor, not know it? This is the mark of the secret guard beside the first emperor. Ordinary people may not even be able to see the secret guards, so naturally they don't know them.

Nangong Mo didn't seem to see the suspicious eyes of Duke E, and said softly: "Xu is the mark of a killer in the rivers and lakes." I haven't seen it either. It's just that I'm a little confused about who wants to do this to us. Jun Mo was wrongfully killed for no reason, and now there is a killer who wants the lives of our Manchurians, I, I" said two words in a row, as if he was a little excited, Nangong Mo closed his eyes and passed out directly.

Liu hurriedly supported her, looked at everyone and whispered, "Since Gongzi was arrested, the county lord has never closed his eyes. Now it's happening again."

Everyone was silent, and they didn't know what to do for a while in the face of the blood and corpses in the courtyard.
