Nangong Jingyan looked at Li Ni's back, but a few shadows flashed in front of him, he hurriedly shifted his gaze, and saw several men wearing black arrow sleeves and short clothes, not tall but agile and sturdy, walking quickly back and forth, counting carefully, there were six people in total, and then they disappeared at the corner of the street. He immediately became alert, hurriedly confessed a few words, and ignored the parrot calling him from behind, and chased after him alone.

It was a hermit, and they were all top hermits with high martial arts, walking almost silently, as if the soles of their feet were not touching the ground, but they were walking like flying, like a shadow. Such a few hermits acting together must have hidden mysteries.

Nangong Jingyan followed very hard, fortunately, among his many martial arts leaders, there are also superb hermits, although he has not yet learned the top hidden art like flying to the sky, but the technique of climbing the eaves and walking the wall to hide the sound is still proficient, so he still follows from a distance, and he has not been noticed by them for a while.

The six of them suddenly came to the secluded place by the lake where the Liuli Palace stood, and actually avoided the covered bridges and the garrison soldiers outside the palace wall in the lake, and swept directly from the lake to the palace wall.

"It's broken!" Nangong Jingyan was shocked in his heart, knowing that he didn't have such a strong kung fu, so he had to run to the covered bridge, take out the Nangong clan's family talisman and hand it to the guard, and confessed: "Go find my Uncle Qingyun, there is a hermit sneaking into the palace, please ask him to immediately search under martial law!"

Half of Chunyue's garrison army was transferred out to attack the Changfeng clan with his father Nangong Ming, and his uncle Nangong Qingyun would also leave for the front line in the near future, which was the weakest time for Chaohuang City. However, most of the generals of the Chunyue Guards are now under the control of the Nangong clan, and the situation is urgent, so he hurriedly broke into the palace and no one stopped him.

But where are there still traces of those hermits, Nangong Jingyan couldn't find anyone, and secretly thought to himself, since these people didn't attack the eldest princess outside, they must not be coming for Emperor Li's family, so the important people in the palace are the princess and the princess Chunyue, so they went straight to the princess's bedroom.

When the princess in fancy clothes heard his report, she was shocked at first, and ordered someone to bring the young king of Chunyue, and when she saw that he was fine, she was a little relieved.

The majestic princess looked straight at Nangong Jingyan standing in front of her, and didn't speak, Nangong Jingyan didn't know what to say when she was stared at.

At this time, the commander of the garrison in golden armor made Nangong Qingyun also walk in with a knife on his shoulder, knelt down on one knee in front of the princess, hugged his fists and said: "The last general is late to escort me, and I will confess to my king and the princess!"

The palace began to be noisy, and the garrison had searched everywhere.

The princess stared at Nangong Qingyun who was kneeling on the ground again, and still didn't speak. After staring at it for a while, she said faintly: "The general knows that the lives of me and my grandson are in your hands, right?"

Nangong Qingyun's face did not change and said: "The last general will not dare, it is my escort who is not good, so that the thieves have a chance, please ask my king and the princess to ask for the guilt!"

"This commander of the garrison, I don't think you should be any more," the princess said with an angry and majestic expression, "You better hurry to the front line and kill the enemy well, so that you can live up to this body of armor! As for those people with ill intentions, whether they are bright or dark, just call them, even if they fight this old bone and want to crush it with them, I will not hesitate!" Then the princess brushed her sleeves and left.

Nangong Jingyan walked out of the glazed palace alone. The mysterious hermits had disappeared since they entered, and the guards then searched all over the palace, but found nothing, perhaps because he had discovered them early, they had already retreated before they could do anything, and besides, he couldn't think of any other reason to silence these powerful hermits. But because he made such a fuss, the princess was furious and reprimanded his uncle, which made him feel a little annoyed, he knew that his father had already had a gap with the princess, so he should have considered it a long time ago and used some more appropriate way.

Nangong Jingyan thought like this and saw Li Ni in the garden.

Changing out of folk clothes, Li Ni, who was wearing a white dress, held a snow rabbit in her arms, gently lowered it on the grass, squatted down and teased it. The snow rabbit did not run or jump, but only turned its long ears, and sat obediently on the ground to play with her. The scene is exceptionally beautiful and quiet.

Nangong Jingyan stood a foot away, looking at this girl who was still childish but about to grow up, with a moving and untouchable aura above the fireworks in the world, and couldn't help but be a little stunned. At this time, Li Ni also noticed him and slowly stood up.

He walked closer, bowed his hand, and then saw that she was the only one around, and reminded: "Eldest princess, there are hermits sneaking into the palace, you are here alone, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”

Li Ni didn't care, looked at Nangong Jingyan and asked, "You are the son of Nangong Ming's mansion in the Zhongshu Ling, right?"

"Yes. Nangong Jingyan smiled a little crampedly.

"I heard that the Marquis has not been married yet. ”

"Eldest Princess Qiyu, I am an adopted son, and my father adopted me when I was a child, and it is a great favor to nurture me. ”

"Oh, that's right. Li Ni said lightly, and then asked, "I heard Xuan Ming say that when Xiahou Gong was competing, that short arrow was used to help him dodge the gun, and you sent it?"

"This ......" Nangong Jingyan hesitated, and said a little embarrassedly, "I did send it." I saw that my uncle shook off the front of his army, and injured his opponent, so he sent the arrow in a hurry......"

"Do they blame you, father?"

"No, no, my uncle must have done it unintentionally......"

Li Ni then smiled and said, "Thank you." ”

"It's a lot of effort, so what's the point. Nangong Jingyan felt that she couldn't keep her composure in front of this girl, and there was a slight feeling of heat on her face.

"Thank you for today's events. Li Ni said again.

"It's about the safety of the royal family, I should be like this, how can the eldest princess say thank you. ”

Li Ni pursed her lips and smiled, explaining: "I mean on the street today, save that girl, thank you." ”

Nangong Jingyan stroked the back of her head embarrassedly and smiled: "What the eldest princess said is this, if it weren't for your help, this matter wouldn't be so easy today, it should be me who thank you!"

"No, the poor girl almost couldn't be saved, thanks to you. But you think I'm talking about the hermit?"

"The princess was furious and blamed her uncle, so she blamed herself for this just now......"

"In addition to self-blame, you also feel wronged, right?"

"Jingyan didn't dare to ......"

"The princess is angry, it's not those hermits. ”

"This?"

"There is nothing wrong with your kindness to maintain the safety of the royal family, but the Nangong clan is in charge of the royal family's army, and even the guards of the palace are yours, you have no official position, but as the son of the Nangong family, you can mobilize the guards, and you can still come and go freely in the palace at the moment, which can make people feel that it is much safer than a few hermits." ”

Nangong Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, she didn't expect this girl to see it so clearly, and arched her hand and said, "What the eldest princess said is that Jingyan is stupid, so she will leave." ”

Li Ni nodded at him, waited for him to hang his head and walked away a few steps, and then stopped him, "Do you often hunt outside like you did that day?"

Nangong Jingyan turned around and replied, "Oh, I often play hunting like that, and I have the right to practice riding and archery......"

"Next time, if Xuan Ming agrees, take me with you, you teach me. ”

"Okay, as long as the eldest princess is interested, just let me know. Nangong Jingyan bowed again, then retreated and turned away.

At this time, Xuan Ming came back from the side, and Tingting stood behind Li Ni.

"Princess, Xuan Ming followed the hermits to see, they entered the palace of the princess and did not come out, I was sure that the princess herself summoned me and withdrew. ”

"Alas......" Li Ni sighed softly when he heard this.

Xuan Ming saw her back still leaving towards Nangong Jingyan, and said, "Princess, you shouldn't contact the people of the Nangong clan." ”

Li Ni stood quietly in front of Xuan Ming, but said to himself: "He is a good person......
