"We can go back, but Feng'er, you must promise us that if you are not completely sure, you will never take risks. You must know that there are still many people waiting for you."
Xu Nantian reminded Zhang Yifeng again.
Qiu Lin also said sincerely: "My dear nephew, you must come back soon, otherwise I will be tortured to death by that girl Xiaoxue."
Listening to the two people's words of concern for him, Zhang Yifeng felt warm in his heart.
"Father, Uncle Qiu, don't worry. I will come back as soon as possible after I understand everything here."
After receiving Zhang Yifeng's assurance, Xu Nantian and Qiu Lin nodded with satisfaction.
"Then let's go."
Xu Nantian and Qiu Lin left the royal city under the watch of Zhang Yifeng.
Looking at the disappearing figures of Xu Nantian and Qiu Lin, Zhang Yifeng sighed softly, then turned and walked into the other courtyard.
Seven days have passed since his last breakthrough after taking the out-of-body pill. Before investigating the truth behind Wanyan Xiarong's death, he has to break through to the sixth level of the out-of-body stage.
Every time his strength improves, he will gain a little more protection.
He has always attached great importance to improving his strength.
After returning to the other courtyard, Zhang Yifeng summoned Hong Ling from the demon-suppressing scroll.
"Master, is there another fight?" Hong Ling asked Zhang Yifeng with excitement as soon as he came out of the demon-suppressing scroll.
Zhang Yifeng gave a helpless smile and said: "Hong Ling, I want to practice and prepare for a breakthrough. During this period, I cannot be disturbed by others. You can protect the law for me."
Hong Ling was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but then a bright smile appeared on his face.
"No problem, Master, you can practice."
Zhang Yifeng nodded. He was very relieved that Hong Ling was protecting him. Then he took out the body-removing pill from the storage ring and began to practice and absorb it.
Just when Zhang Yifeng made a breakthrough in his cultivation, a figure came to Dali Palace quietly.
This figure looked extremely handsome, but his body was covered in blood at the moment, and his face looked a little pale.
What's even more terrifying is that his left arm was broken at shoulder level, with a terrifying and hideous wound.
This figure avoided all the palace guards and came to a separate courtyard. He hesitated for a moment, then gently opened the door and walked in.
This other courtyard is Wang Yanzhao's courtyard.
At this time, in the bedroom, Wang Yanzhao had a worried look on his face. His current achievements were all due to the support of his personal guard commander Yu Wenxin.
For Yu Wenxin, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart, and besides being grateful, Yu Wenxin was his idol.
But now, Yu Wenxin and dozens of the king's guards have lost their traces, and his heart is full of worry.
"Why!"
Thinking of the uneasiness in his heart, Wang Yanzhao sighed deeply.
At this moment, a subtle sound came from outside the house. Wang Yanzhao's expression suddenly changed, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
The big knife appeared in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of the sound.
"Who is there?" Wang Yanzhao asked coldly.
His expression was full of alertness. This was the Dali Palace. In the past, no one would come here at this time, so the sound just now aroused his alertness.
"Brother Wang, it's me."
After a moment, a voice came in, and then, a figure walked in.
Seeing the figure that appeared, Wang Yanzhao was stunned for a moment, and then looked overjoyed.
"Lu Jian, why is it you?"
The person coming was none other than Lu Jian, another deputy commander of the king's personal guard.
Although he and Lu Jian were both deputy commanders of personal guards, their relationship was extremely harmonious and there was no discord.
Seeing Lu Jian appear, Wang Yanzhao was immediately reassured, because Lu Jian had left with Lord Yuwen before, and now that he was back, Lord Yuwen would be fine.
Seeing the questioning look in Wang Yanzhao's eyes, Lu Jian sighed and said, "It's a long story. I have something very important to tell His Majesty. Please take me to see Your Majesty quickly."
"Your arm?"
Only then did Wang Yanzhao realize that Lu Jian, who was covered in blood, had no left arm.
Lu Jian gave a bitter smile and said: "It's just an arm, and another one will be condensed soon. Now I must see Your Majesty immediately, otherwise, the kingdom will be in danger. The healing pills on my body are gone, please give me a few
, otherwise I’m afraid of passing out.”
"so serious!"
After hearing Lu Jian's words, Wang Yanzhao also realized the seriousness of the matter. Without any further hesitation, he gave Lu Jian some healing pills and immediately walked with Lu Jian towards the direction of the Yangxin Palace.
On the way to the Yangxin Hall, Wang Yanzhao couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Where are you, sir? Why are you back alone?"
Lu Jian fell silent after hearing this.
After a moment, he said: "I will explain clearly the cause and effect of the matter one by one after I see Your Majesty."
Wang Yanzhao nodded. He knew that since Lu Jian said so, he must have a point.
As the king's personal guard, he naturally lived not too far from the Yangxin Palace. Not long after, Wang Yanzhao and Lu Jian arrived at the entrance of the Yangxin Palace.
When the guards guarding the entrance of Yangxin Hall saw Wang Yanzhao and a bloody man walking over, their expressions suddenly changed.
"Master Wang, why are you here so late? Who is this person next to you?" the guard asked cautiously.
Wang Yanzhao heard this and said in a solemn tone: "Go and tell your Majesty quickly that Mr. Lu Jian and I have important matters to see your Majesty."
Master Lu Jian?
The guard was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Lu Jian carefully.
When he recognized that the bloody man in front of him was Lu Jian, his expression immediately changed.
"My lords, please wait a moment. I will go and ask for your Majesty's instructions."
After the guard finished speaking, he hurried into the Yangxin Hall.
Not long after, the guard who had left earlier came out, followed by a chamberlain. That chamberlain was the chief chamberlain who served the king's daily life.
The head chamberlain looked at Lu Jian who was seriously injured, and his expression couldn't help but change.
"Master Lu, are your injuries okay?"
Lu Jian forced a smile on his lips and said, "I'm fine. This injury doesn't matter. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your concern."
Manager Zhao nodded, and then said to the two of them: "Follow me, His Majesty is waiting for you."
Wang Yanzhao and Lu Jian followed the chief chamberlain into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
At the same time, at the twenty-second prince's house.
"How did things go?" Prince Twenty-Two asked, looking at the man in gray robe standing in front of him.
The man in gray robe cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have fulfilled my mission. Wanyan Xiarong is already dead."
Hearing the words of the man in gray robe, the Twenty-Two Prince showed a look of relief in his eyes.
"Haha, okay, a good death. Anyone who dares to threaten me should die!"
Immediately afterwards, his expression became cold again.
"By the way, is there any movement over Zhang Yifeng?"
The man in gray robe nodded and said: "Xu Nantian and Qiu Lin have left the royal city, but..."
