Little ruler, Xiao Yuanzi ran in, "Emperor, Empress, are you injured?"

Xiao Yuanzi ran to close the window, and the small ruler immediately ran to Nangong Ao and Ye Wange, "Your Majesty, there are assassins outside, and they have started fighting with the guards."

Nangong Ao stood up and handed Nangong Yilong in his arms to the terrified Ye Wansinger, saying, "I'll go out and have a look. The queen stays here and don't go out."

Ye Wange nodded and took Nangong Yilong. Nangong Ao walked out quickly.

Xiao Yuanzi followed behind and left the small ruler to take care of Ye Wange.

"What happened?" Ye Wange asked.

"It seems that Gu Erxi brought people to assassinate the emperor." Xiaozhizi said.

Ye Wange heard that Gu Erxi was coming and brought a lot of people. She asked in shock, "How many people did Gu Erxi bring?"

Xiaozi replied, "I don't know. Anyway, Gu Erxi is here prepared, and the soldiers guarding here may not be able to withstand it."

After glanced at the small ruler, Ye Wange said, "Don't worry! No matter how powerful Gu Erxi is, she is not the emperor's opponent!"

The little ruler knew that he had just said the wrong thing, but when he heard Ye Wange say that Nangong Ao is better than Gu Erxi, he immediately agreed, "Yes, the emperor is wise and divine, and Gu Erxi is not the emperor's opponent."

"Guard the door and protect the little prince." Ye Wange ordered the small ruler.

"Yes." The small ruler responded.

Outside the house, Nangong Ao looked at the masked men in black and fought with his soldiers, and his eyes became darker.

Gu Erxi was not actually here to assassinate Nangong Ao. He was here to kidnap Ye Wange and Nangong Yilong, but he happened to meet Nangong Ao here.

After Gu Erxi defeated all the soldiers around him, he rushed towards Nangong Ao directly.

Nangong Ao stretched out his foot and hooked up the sword on the ground, held the sword in his hand and started fighting with Gu Erxi.

With new hatred and old hatred, Nangong Ao was particularly ruthless when he started, and every move was attacking Gu Erxi's vital points.

The house was surrounded by soldiers and the assassins were not allowed to approach. Ye Wange and Nangong Yilong were safe, which made Nangong Ao fight without any worries.

Ye Wange was in the room and looked out through the window. The two sides were fighting in the dark. She couldn't tell which side was stronger and which side was weak. She asked the little ruler, "Is anyone going to inform Zhou Qiang to help the battle?"

The little ruler replied, "I heard that Zhou Qiang was dragged by Shen Ruan."

"Shen Ru'an is here to save Shen Ruhui?" Ye Wange asked in surprise.

"Yes." The little ruler replied.

Ye Wange showed a look of worry. Shen Ruan'an and Gu Erxi joined hands, and there were so many men in black from unknown where they came to help. I was afraid that Shen Ruhui would be rescued by Shen Ruan's.

Gu Erxi and Nangong Ao started fighting. Nangong Ao was young and strong. Although Gu Erxi was very skilled in martial arts, he was eventually defeated because he was old and could not keep up with Nangong Ao in physical strength.

Gu Erxi turned around and was about to run. Nangong Ao jumped up, and the sword in his hand stabbed Gu Erxi's back. Gu Erxi screamed and turned around to resist.

Faced with Gu Erxi's desperate counterattack, Nangong Ao was forced to retreat repeatedly by Gu Erxi, and had no sharp weapons in his hand, so he had to avoid his crazy attack.

Gu Erxi was stabbed in his back. No matter how fierce the attack was, the injury on his back would affect his move. Seeing Gu Erxi's weak move, Nangong Ao seized the opportunity and used a series of kicks to attack Gu Erxi.

.

"Pu!" After a sound, Gu Erxi was kicked to the ground by Nangong Ao.

Gu Erxi, who was lying on the ground, had blood flowing from his nose and mouth, pointed at Nangong Ao and said, "Emperor..."

Gu Erxi fell to the ground before she could say a word.

On Zhou Qiang's side, Chen Ruan was seriously injured and escaped with his subordinates.

Zhou Qiang went after him with his men. Chen Liang, who was waiting outside Yulu Palace, saw that Chen Ruan had returned from injury, immediately ordered his slave to drive the horse away.

The carriage was speeding all the way, and Chen Liang looked at Chen Ru'an, who was bleeding from his shoulders, "Ruan, please bear it a little."

Chen Liang tore off his clothes and bandages the wound for Chen Ru'an.

Chen Ruan gritted his teeth and endured the pain on his shoulders, "Dad, it's okay, but his son is incompetent and failed to rescue his sister." As he spoke, tears came from Chen Ruan's eyes.

Looking at the sad Chen Ru'an, Chen Liang comforted him, "Ru'an, a gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late for ten years, and the future is long. The father and son work together to avenge a great deal.

Chen Ruan nodded when he heard Chen Liang's comforting words, and his grief was slightly better.

Zhou Qiang watched the carriage galloping away, and he shouted, "It's your horse, bring the horse quickly!"

After the subordinates took the horse, Shen Ru'an's carriage had already disappeared from everyone's sight, and even the dust brought by the horse's hooves disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Qiang took his men to chase after him, and chased him for ten miles in one breath, but he did not find a carriage carrying Shen Ru'an.

Zhou Qiang returned empty-handed and ran to Huaxiang Pavilion to report the matter. Nangong Ao glanced at Zhou Qiang and said to Ye Wange, "Empress, please rest soon! I have ordered people to strengthen their protection. Even if you rest with peace of mind, you will never be able to do it again. Someone is here to hurt the queen!”

Ye Wange glanced at Zhou Qiang, "Your Majesty, be careful, too."

Nangong Ao nodded and left. On the way back to Liuyun Pavilion, Zhou Qiang reported on the incident of Chen Ruan's escape.

"Running?" Nangong Ao glanced at Zhou Qiang meaningfully.

Zhou Qiang lowered his head, "Yes."

Zhou Qiang also knew that he was wrong. He had not done any of these things successfully recently. Nangong Ao couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes just now.

After hearing Zhou Qiang's words, Nangong Ao remained silent.

He was filled with anger, but he could only suppress it. The matter was already like this, and it would be useless to hold Zhou Qiang accountable.

The most important thing is that Nangong Ao has few people who can trust, so he doesn't want to punish Zhou Qiang.

"Where can they escape?" Nangong Ao asked after a long time.

"I guess I've fled to Nanzhao." Zhou Qiang replied.

Nangong Ao frowned after hearing this, Zhou Qiang continued, "Most of the people brought by the Shen family father and son tonight are from Nan Zhao."

Hearing this, Nangong Ao said, "Can you confirm that those people are from Nan Zhao?"

"Yes." Zhou Qiang replied.

Nangong Ao's eyes sank, and he said, "What a Nan Zhao Kingdom, a defeated country. He dragged the agreement signed when he was defeated and refused to fulfill it. Now he is here to assassinate me again. Is Nan Zhao going to provoke trouble again?"

Hearing this, Zhou Qiang immediately replied, "Emperor, although those people are Nan Zhao people, there is no evidence to prove that those Nan Zhao people were sent by Nan Zhao Kingdom to assassinate the emperor."

When Nangong Ao heard this, he glanced at Zhou Qiang, "I understand."

Although those people were from Nan Zhao Kingdom, they were only used by the Northern Tang people, Chen Liang and Gu Erxi, so they could not prove that this matter was related to the court of Nan Zhao Kingdom. Even if they went to Nan Zhao Kingdom to negotiate, there would be no The result.

Nangong Ao felt that a defeated country actually used such obscene means to deal with him was a provocation and insult to him.

Zhou Qiang stood there, looking at Nangong Ao with a gloomy face, and waiting for Nangong Ao's instructions.

"I'll find a way to open the underground treasure house in Gushui Village to see how much silver there is." Nangong Ao ordered.

"Yes." Zhou Qiang responded.

"Gu Erxi is dead, Chen Liang and his son have escaped, so let's declare to the public that Chen Liang and Gu Erxi have both been killed! Let's hang Gu Erxi's head outside the city gate tomorrow and show it to the public. Don't look for two more outside. Pretending to be Chen Liang and Shen Ru'an!" Nangong Ao ordered.

"Yes." Zhou Qiang took the order to do it.

After Zhou Qiang left, Nangong Ao held Zhuozi's edge with his hands and sat down slowly.

His mood was very heavy. Chen Liang and his son ran away. Even if the father and son would not come to cause trouble again in a short period of time, keeping them will always cause trouble.

The Shen family's father and son failed to save Chen Ruhui. Of course, Chen Ruhui heard a little bit from the guards. When she asked, no guard told her.

Chen Ruhui couldn't see it, and there was another rag doll with her eyes nailed in front of her. She didn't dare to move around, so she could only sit there and plead with the people who were taking care of her, "Please, be fine." Tell me..." She just wanted to say the word "Huan" when she suddenly thought of her current situation and stopped immediately.

"Please tell me!" Chen Ruhui begged bitterly.

Those people dared not talk nonsense in front of her. When they heard her plea, they said impatiently, "Save some effort! We servants, how dare we talk nonsense!"

"Dear brothers, it's up to you to respect me when I came in, so please do it!" Chen Ruhui begged that when she was just locked up, in order to please these guards, Give them all the valuable items on them.

When the guards heard Chen Ruhui's words, they immediately said, "Don't talk nonsense! We didn't take your stuff!"

When Chen Ruhui heard this, she nodded immediately, "Brother, okay, how is Chen Ruan's current situation?"

Before the guards could answer her, they heard a sharp female voice, "Chen Ru'an can't die!"

Ye Wange's mean voice sounded, and everyone knelt down and saluted one after another. Chen Ruhui shuddered and asked in fear, "What are you here to do?"

Hearing Chen Ruhui's words, Ye Wange laughed, "I am here to visit Concubine Hui!" After saying that, she immediately said, "No, I am wrong. You are no longer the one who could be domineering in front of me. The imperial concubine, you are the criminal Shen.”

Hearing Ye Wange's harsh sarcasm, Chen Ruhui, who was worried that Chen Ru'an had no extra time to be sad.

Just stretched out his hand to touch the blind man, and she also made her a coincidence. She grabbed Ye Wange's dress hem, held it in her hand, begging, "Empress, please tell me, what is Ru'an now Is it like this?"
