The party was very lively and there was a lot of fun, but Nangong Yuan didn't like to play and just felt bored.

Fortunately, the banquet ended at dusk.

She followed a group of young ladies from aristocratic families into her own carriage.

"Miss, there are some snacks here, do you want some?"

Nangong Yuan took a glance and shook her head: "No, it looks pretty disgusting."

She had eaten her fill at the table and now had no appetite at all.

Tao Zhu sighed and said, "I knew this would happen, so I brought this. Dangdang..."

"Sour plum?"

"Yes, Miss, please try it. I bought it specially from the shop on South Street. It has your favorite flavor."

Nangong Yuan then picked up some and ate it. After the car had gone a few steps, she heard a scream in the distance.

"Ah, help! Someone's killing me!"

Tao Zhu jumped up, grabbed the long sword at hand, and stood in front of Nangong Yuan: "Miss, don't go out."

"Help, help!!"

There were screams and the sound of swords in the distance.

Nangong Yuan smelled blood.

Her beautiful brows furrowed and she immediately stood up and got out of the carriage.

"Go ahead and take a look. What's going on?"

Tao Zhu knew that he couldn't stop her, so he immediately asked someone to stop the carriage.

boom!

"Hurry, hurry, protect the lady!"

The guards outside drew their swords in a panic and the scene was in chaos for a while.

It was obvious that these guards were no match for the well-trained assassins, and many of them were killed in the first encounter.

The ladies were trembling with fear and hiding in the carriage, screaming.

As soon as Nangong Yuan lifted the car curtain, she saw a man leaning out from the roadside.

"Your Majesty?"

The other person looked extremely miserable. There were several small scratches on his handsome and cold cheeks caused by branches. His hair was disheveled, and his clothes, which were either black or red, were stained with a large area of ​​water.

His eyes were bloodshot and slightly red at the corners, and he looked like a demon that had crawled out of hell.

The people on the roadside were terrified and thought it was an assassin who started to hack at them with a knife.

"careful!"

Nangong Yuan jumped down, kicked the opponent's sword away, and landed gracefully.

"Tao Zhu, go save them!"

The little maid nodded repeatedly and took the guards of the general's mansion to drive away the assassin.

Nangong Yuan rolled up her sleeves and extended her hand to Xiao Heyun who was standing on the side of the road.

"Come up quickly."

Xiao Heyun coughed softly, and a little blood foam came out of his mouth.

The palm in front of me was white and soft, but it had a strange strength that seemed to warm even my heart.

Xiao Heyun had not met such a person in the past twenty years, someone who repeatedly lent him a helping hand and repeatedly surprised him.

"Thank you."

He reached out and held Nangong Yuan's hand with a complicated expression.

Nangong Yuan didn't think too much about it. She pulled him up and said, "You are seriously injured. How is your leg?"

"good."

He stood with his body tilted and didn't look well.

Nangong Yuan hurriedly helped him into the carriage, and the next moment Xiao Heyun pulled her into his arms.

boom!

A long arrow was shot near the place where her head was just now, and it was deeply embedded in the front of the car.

"Be careful."

Xiao Heyun was tall and it was very easy for him to hold her in his arms.

His embrace was hard and cold, filled with a strong bloody energy that seemed to drown people for a long time.

Nangong Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she was knocked down by him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Xiao Heyun!"

She was so frightened that her eyes widened and she fumbled to support the person.

Xiao Heyun had already fainted, but this man was so heavy that Nangong Yuan was unable to move.

"System, scan, scan quickly!"

[Ding Di, the target of the mission, Xiao Heyun, has serious external injuries, a penetrating wound in the left back, please seek treatment as soon as possible, otherwise his life will be in danger. ]

Nangong Yuan gritted her teeth, helped him up, pulled him to the carriage, and then with trembling hands she exchanged a box of medicine from the mall.

"Don't die yet, I finally found the target and it took me so much effort!"

She stuffed the pill into Xiao Heyun's mouth and found that he couldn't swallow it at all.

"Xiao Heyun, do you want to be killed like this? I don't believe you will be willing to do that!"

"Cough cough cough."

The person lying on the ground opened his eyes slightly and swallowed the medicine with great effort: "I...can't die yet."

Nangong Yuan paused, then closed her eyes tightly: "You'd better be."

After saying this, she opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

The assassin on the opposite side was still rushing towards him madly, as if the fight would not stop until he was dead.

Nangong Yuan picked up the long knife on the ground and rushed out.

puff!

Blood splattered everywhere, the sharp knife light seemed to cut through the sky, and Nangong Yuan's cheek was splashed with blood.

She wiped it off indifferently and swung the knife!

"Tao Zhu, catch him alive!"

The fighting power of the general's mansion guards in the distance was also terrifying, and they managed to subdue all the assassins.

"Don't let them die!"

Nangong Yuan chopped off an assassin's arm with a knife and kicked him down.

Soon, the palace received the news, and a large number of guards rushed over and tied up the assassins on the ground.

"These people dared to assassinate the current prince openly and also attacked the young ladies of various mansions so crazily. They have implicated many people. We must conduct a thorough investigation!"

Nangong Yuan looked so ferocious standing there with a knife in his hand that the guards nodded repeatedly.

"You guys, accompany them to escort the assassins, and send all these people back to the capital."

Tao Zhu paused, and immediately understood something: "Yes, I will go now!"

She took half of the guards to escort the assassin, and the other half stayed behind to protect Nangong Yuan.

"Uncle Chen, go and drive the carriage. Be sure to guard it tightly and no one can get close!"

"Yes, miss!"

Nangong Yuan went to check on the casualties herself, and waited for people from Prince Li's Mansion to come and pick them up.

········

"The casualties were not light. More than 30 guards from various mansions died, and a young lady also died. Several ladies were slightly injured."

Nangong Yuan looked serious, and pinched his brows and asked, "Why hasn't the Prime Minister come yet?"

"Already here."

When Gu Zian and his men arrived, Nangong Yuan had already settled the frightened young ladies together.

"What happened? What are the casualties?"

"It's quite serious. The assassins have been subdued. I've asked someone to send them into the city. The rest is up to the Prime Minister."

Gu Zian nodded. He left late and was originally going to wait for King Li to come, but he just happened to escape.

If you run into this group of people, you will probably be in trouble.

"I'm going to see the ladies."

Nangong Yuan threw away the knife in his hand and took out the medicine to give to the injured person.

"Don't be afraid, the assassin has been subdued and there is no danger at the moment."

Someone sobbed quietly and said, "I want to go home!"

"I'm afraid it's not possible at the moment. I don't know if those assassins have helpers, so we can't leave alone."

One lady was relatively calm and asked, "Miss Nangong, what should we do now?"

"The Prime Minister has arrived with the guards from Prince Li's Palace. Wait for them to escort you."
