Gongsun Ningxue narrowed her eyes. She couldn't believe that the person who spoke in front of everyone was her brother, Gongsun Yan. No wonder the servants in the mansion said that his behavior was a little strange. She didn't expect that he was secretly training and brainwashing the brothers in Jianzhong.

She was quietly observing in secret, but unexpectedly she kicked a nearby stone. Any slight movement might attract his attention. Sure enough, Gongsun Yan discovered something unusual nearby and asked everyone to disperse first.

"Why are you still hiding? Come out quickly?" Gongsun Yan thought it was one of his own, but he didn't expect it to be a woman in a black nightgown. The woman had a slender figure and a small frame, so he could tell at a glance that she was a woman.

"Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop? Do you know that anyone who violates the rules of the Sword Tomb must be put to death?" Gongsun Yan put his hands behind his back with a cold expression, and his dark eyes were stained with blood.

Seeing the person standing motionless in front of him, with a pair of clear eyes flashing with anger, Gongsun Yan took advantage of her unpreparedness and grabbed her neck, narrowed his eyes viciously, and asked, "Tell me, who are you, and who sent you?"

Gongsun Ningxue frowned and glared at him. Gongsun Yan reached out and took off her black mask. He didn't expect it was her, "Ningxue, why are you here?" Gongsun Yan took a step back in surprise.

"I have followed you twice, and each time you went to a different place. It's just that you found me this time. Brother, can you tell me? What exactly were you talking about with everyone just now?" Gongsun Ningxue pressed on step by step. Gongsun Yan rolled his eyes and immediately thought of a bad plan.

"Brother, gather the brothers together. We helped grandfather to avenge his father. No matter what, we must massacre the Prince Zhao's Mansion and make that kid Rong Zhen pay for his blood debt with blood." Gongsun Yan said excitedly, holding her arm.

That expression of joy, sorrow, and happiness seemed to have been possessed by a demon. Gongsun Ningxue slowly swept his hands away and looked at him with confusion as he fell into a state of madness.

"Was it really Prince Zhao who killed Grandpa?" Gongsun Ningxue asked calmly, but this question made him speechless. After a while, he came to his senses and shook his head in confusion. "What do you mean by this? Do you think there would be someone else who would kill Grandpa?"

"Why not? If it is true as you said that my grandfather was killed by Rong Zhen, why didn't he kill all the people in the sword tomb, but only killed my grandfather and not me? Why?" Gongsun Ningxue was extremely curious and pressed on step by step.

"Ningxue, are you crazy? You actually spoke for that man!" Gongsun Yan frowned, and a layer of anger surged in his eyes. Gongsun Ningxue slowly stopped, sneered, and there was helplessness in her eyes.

"Grandpa has set up a rule since he founded the Sword Tomb that they must not have any connection with the imperial court. But you just promised them official titles and promotions. Is this what the brothers of the Sword Tomb should think about? What on earth are you talking to them about?"

Gongsun Ningxue clenched her fists in anger, her eyes bloodshot, and pressed on step by step. Gongsun Yan's hands were shaking with anger, and he seemed very annoyed that she had heard everything he had just said.

"I've said before, I'm only doing this to avenge my grandfather. Why are you speaking for him? Why are you speaking for a murderer?" Gongsun Yan was driven to extreme anger. He shook her arm with a deafening sound. Gongsun Ningxue frowned in pain.

"I didn't speak for him. The person who killed Grandpa wasn't Rong Zhen at all. It was you, right? The secret poison of Gongsun Mansion is only in your hands, and Grandpa definitely wouldn't leave quietly. If he was prepared, he should have chosen someone to inherit the sword tomb."

Gongsun Ningxue finally figured it out. What Rong Zhen said to her was not without reason. The brother in front of her who seemed to be righteous was actually full of evil intentions. She didn't know who to believe.

"Ning Xue, are you crazy?" Gongsun Yan looked at his sister in disbelief. Could it be that Rong Zhen really had instilled some incredible ideas in her?

"Yes, I am crazy. I have been suffering in pain these past few days. I feel guilty towards Grandpa, and I really don't understand you anymore. What on earth are you thinking? You actually let the brothers from Jianzhong enter the court. What on earth are you thinking?"

Gongsun Ningxue wanted to prevent this disaster from happening, and was about to go and warn the brothers not to be fooled by Gongsun Yan, but Gongsun Yan pressed her mute point. Gongsun Ningxue stood there like a wooden chicken, motionless like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, with only her eyeballs moving around.

"Ning Xue, don't blame brother. Brother did this only to restore the prestige of Gongsun Mansion. The reputation of Gongsun Mansion is gradually declining in the martial arts world.

If we can make people in the martial arts world remember our Gongsun Mansion, then what's wrong with that? You know my grandfather's character. He has been indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, but in the end he ended up like this. I don't want to be as cowardly and incompetent as my grandfather. If I want to be a prime minister, I want to be a famous prime minister!"

Gongsun Yan said, and carried her directly into the cave and had people watch her strictly. She was not allowed to step out of the room for the next few days. On the other side, Gu Yunru woke up and found Rong Zhen beside her. She didn't know when he sneaked in last night.

"Why are you sleeping here? Don't you like sleeping in the study?" Gu Yunru supported herself with one hand and looked at him curiously. She saw his feathery eyelashes like a palm-leaf fan tremble slightly, and it seemed that she had woken up, but was just pretending to sleep.

"Hehe, stop pretending. I can see your eyes moving." Gu Yunru waved her hand and lifted the quilt off him, wanting to let some cold air in to see if he could continue pretending.

Rong Zhen gradually opened her eyes and suddenly sensed that danger was coming. He quickly pressed her down on the bed and blocked her with his whole body. Before Gu Yunru could see what was happening, she saw four or five men in black flying in from nowhere and surrounding the door.

Then, flaming arrows flew in one after another, and everyone in the palace was slaughtered. Qingfeng tried his best to deal with this group of people, but found that their sword skills and martial arts were all unfathomable and superb. It seemed that they were not just ordinary killers, but most likely people from Jianzhong.

"What on earth is going on?" Gu Yunru was held in Rong Zhen's arms. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was ambushed. This was too fantastic. Was she dreaming? She pinched her face lightly, but she screamed in pain.

Rong Zhen was prepared early in the morning. Huang Zijun was patrolling nearby with his soldiers. After seeing the paintballs fired from the palace, he immediately rushed in with his men and fought with these people.
