Nangong Jing rubbed her messy hair twice more and said, "You want to protect me? With your skills, can you beat an assassin? I guess you still need me to protect you!"

Lin Jiuxi smiled embarrassedly when he thought about it, but as a doctor he instinctively pulled up Nangong Jing's wrist and began to take his pulse. He made sure that he had no problems before he felt relieved.

In the palace of Nanzhao Kingdom, Li Mao once again sent a secret letter into the palace. The general content of the letter was about the military situation in Langzhou, and Nangong Jing led troops to Langzhou.

Li Mao had already mentioned in the letter in a tactful way that he wanted to lead his troops to Yuzhou City to kill Nangong Jing by surprise.

In fact, the emperor had thought about it, but he held back several times.

Based on his understanding of Nangong Jing, she would not sit in Yuzhou and wait for Li Mao. She would definitely leave Yuzhou City and go to the next place in a short time.

The emperor looked at the flame on the candle, burned all the secret memorials, stood alone in front of the map of Nanzhao Kingdom, and marked Liuzhou, Yuzhou, Langzhou, Baihuzhou, Danfu Town, and Mozhou with a red cinnabar pen.

In fact, the emperor knew very well in his heart that the throne was too sensitive for him.

Of course, Nangong Jing couldn't be allowed to live. Thinking of this, the emperor said coldly: "Where is the secret guard in danger?"

As soon as the general entered the city, he immediately led a group of troops away.

The emperor marked them one by one with a cinnabar pen until he reached Baihu Island. The red cinnabar pen paused there and a not-so-circular red mark immediately appeared on the map.

More than a dozen people went, but only a few came back, especially the assassin who led the group, who even boasted in front of the emperor that he would complete the mission.

However, they did not expect that the assassins did not succeed in killing Nangong Jing. Instead, several assassins were killed, and one was even captured alive.

"Then I will trust you once more. Go down and prepare. I don't want to hear any more news of failure."

"Your Majesty, I failed to kill the rebels. It was my fault."

The old man came out in high spirits. Nangong Jing bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, teacher!"

Nangong Jing looked at Lin Jiuxi lovingly and said, "Of course I'm not afraid, you are my princess."

Although Baihuzhou is not an important city, there is a very important person there.

Your Majesty should be talking about Prince Nangong Jingduan, who is currently in Liuzhou.

The two of them behaved so intimately that everyone around them was envious.

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a man in black sliding down along the dragon pillar from above the huge palace and kneeling on the ground respectfully.

His Majesty just sneered and said, "If I give you another chance, can you guarantee that Nangong Jing will die next time?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

To whom did the late emperor intend to pass the throne? Only he and Nangong Jing knew it best, and he had not yet found the late emperor's will.

"Your Majesty, please give me one more chance."

Therefore, he must take the initiative and kill Nangong Jing before he can sit on the throne safely.

"What do you want, Your Majesty?"

Lin Jiuxi was quite curious. At this age, his voice sounded full of energy and strength. How did Nangong Jing know him? He didn't care what Lin Jiuxi guessed in his heart.

When the emperor heard that Nangong Jing was not dead, he became furious and swept all the memorials on the desk to the ground with a wave of his hand.

Indeed, he did not have such an estimate in mind, and he did not dare to make such a promise. He just wanted to stay alive, but at this moment he had to go against his will: "I will definitely do my best to hand over the heads of the traitors to Your Majesty."

"The rebel should be in Yuzhou City now. Take some people with you and make sure to get his head."

Then he said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will complete the task."

Of all the cities surrounding the Nanzhao Palace, Wuyangzhou has the best defense, followed by Shuizhou and Quanzhou...

The person the emperor has never dared to touch.

The beads of sweat on his forehead revealed the secret guard's nervousness at the moment. His slightly trembling voice echoed in the huge palace. The shadow reflected on the dragon pillar seemed like the last portrayal of his survival.

Lin Jiuxi's face suddenly turned red, and she gently punched him on the chest and said, "You hugged me in front of so many people. Aren't you afraid that they will laugh at you?"

After staring at Baihuzhou for a long time, he suddenly felt a little regretful. Why didn't he kill Lord Nangong directly when he was in the capital, which led to the current passive situation.

In the huge palace, the emperor slammed his fist on the table. In his heart, he wished that Nangong Jing would die quickly so that no one would covet the throne anymore.

The two of them hadn't been getting too attached for a while when they heard a burst of hearty laughter.

Nangong Jing also put Lin Jiuxi down and straightened his clothes.

Although Nangong Jing had just started the attack, for the emperor, this was a provocation to his authority.

The man in black was wondering who the rebel was when he heard this, but he hadn't asked yet.

It was agreed in Yuzhou City that Zhang Yan would take his men to Danfu Town to investigate the situation in Langzhou. Although they could ignore Langzhou and go straight to the capital, Nangong Jing knew Li Mao too well. As soon as he left, he could not guarantee that Li Mao would make a surprise attack and disrupt all his plans, so he could not take the risk.

As long as Nangong Jing lives in this world, he will never be able to sit securely on the throne.

Now I can only kneel on the ground.

After a while, an old man came out of the mansion. He looked to be around 60 years old.

Nangong Jing directly carried Lin Jiuxi out of the carriage and did not let go for a moment.

Suddenly, there was a chill in the hall, spreading to the secret guards.

Then he disappeared in an instant, and a sinister smile appeared on the emperor's lips.

Nangong Jing of Baihuzhou let everyone rest for half an hour before entering the city.

Lin Jiuxi looked at the old man standing in front of him curiously. Nangong Jing actually called him teacher?

So, he should be an official in the capital, so why is he here in Baihuzhou? Did he resign and return home?

"I have been in Baihu Island for many years now. I feel a little dazed when I hear someone call me teacher again, Your Highness Prince Duan."

The old man returned the greeting, but his eyes were looking at Lin Jiuxi who was standing beside him.

"I guess this is your Highness's princess."
