After the two got out of the carriage.

Then you will see.

Qinglong and Shisan, along with more than twenty men in black, were engaged in a fierce battle.

After taking a look, Qin Mohan jumped off the carriage, then turned around and helped Ye Qingcheng down.

The two stood beside the carriage and watched the fight unfold.

now.

Qin Mohan stared at the fighting arena, his face darkening to the extreme. His deep eyes flashed with a sinister light, and his entire body exuded a chilling and murderous aura.

Ye Qingcheng was the same; her beautiful face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, her eyes suddenly turned cold, carrying a chilling and ruthless killing intent, like a demon from hell.

At this point, she became angry.

However, the anger did not stem from being intercepted by these people.

Rather, it was because she believed that these people were sent by the Crown Prince or the Third Prince to assassinate Qin Mohan.

So she was very angry.

"I didn't expect them to still dare to attack you after you returned to Beijing."

"They will not be at peace as long as I live."

"Hmph, is that so? We'll have to see if they have the ability."

After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, a specially made sharp blade fell from her sleeve into her palm, and she was about to charge forward with her toes touching the ground.

However, Qin Mohan stopped her.

"These people are not enough for the Princess to handle; Qinglong and Thirteen can take care of them."

We're attending the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, so we can't ruin this outfit.

Besides, it would be unlucky to enter the palace with a bloody heart to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

He then suppressed his murderous intent and sheathed his weapon.

Although he didn't make a move, he was still furious: "Hmph, they are really hateful. Today is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, and they dare to be so unrestrained. Do they want to ruin the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet?"

"I didn't expect them to dare to make a move today."

"Which side do you think these people belong to?"

Qin Mohan shook his head: "I didn't realize that both sides have cultivated a lot of experts, and they are scattered in many places. I have put in a lot of effort, but I have not been able to find even a third of them."

"So secretive?"

"kindness!"

"Tell me, does Father Emperor know about their affair?"

"Father certainly knows a little, but I estimate it's not much, or perhaps..."

"Or what is it?"

"It's nothing, I just hope it's not what I'm thinking."

"Not what you think?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Qinglong and the others are almost done."

Indeed, as he finished speaking...

Ahhh!

Screams of agony rang out.

Ye Qingcheng looked over.

They saw that all twenty-odd men in black had been dealt with by Qinglong and Thirteen.

"Huh? Why didn't you let Qinglong and the others leave one alive?"

"It's no use. They're all suicide squads. Once they go out, they don't plan to come back alive."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly: "Your situation is indeed dangerous."

"Your Highness, are you afraid?"

Ye Qingcheng shook her head: "Scared? If I were scared, I wouldn't be called Ye Qingcheng."

Indeed, back in her modern days, dozens of guns were pointed at her simultaneously, and she wasn't afraid at all.

Moreover, this is ancient times, and people are using cold weapons, so she doesn't take it seriously at all.

Qin Mohan smiled after hearing this: "Your Highness is indeed extraordinary. However, Your Highness, rest assured, even if I die, I will never allow Your Highness to suffer the slightest harm."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng felt a surge of emotion, but she pretended not to care.

"Tch, you might not even be as strong as me now."

"Hahaha! In that case, I'm afraid I'll need the Queen's protection from now on."

"Sure! Pay first."

"I have given the entire royal palace to the princess. Isn't that enough?"

"Pshaw, who cares about you!"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan burst into laughter.

This way.

After searching through the bodies of the assassins who had been killed, Qinglong and Thirteen...

He then walked back to Qin Mohan and Ye Qingcheng, standing in front of them.

"My lord, Your Highness."

"Hmm! Have you found out which side they're from?"

Qinglong and Shisan both shook their heads at the same time.

"No, but I feel that these people don't seem to have been sent by any of their factions," Qinglong said, shaking his head with a slight frown.

After hearing this, Thirteen chimed in, "That's right, I feel the same way."

"Huh? Didn't you guys not find anything?"

"Yes, I didn't find anything, but when I fought with these people..."

These people are clearly not as powerful as the ones we encountered when we returned to the capital.

"Yes! That's true."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then walked over to the assassins, squatted down, and examined them as well.

Then a wave of doubt washed over him.

"Qin Mohan, how is it? Is it as Qinglong and the others said?"

"Yes! It doesn't seem like it, but that doesn't mean it's not one of their two factions, after all, they have cultivated too many forces."

Ye Qingcheng nodded after hearing this.

Qin Mohan sighed, "Alright, now that it's resolved, let's go!"

"good."

After saying that.

The group got back into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

On the road.

Qinglong whispered to Thirteen, "Thirteen, did Master laugh just now?"

"Yes, I smiled."
