The night was as cold as water, and Ouyang Zhan and Xue Kaizhong walked out of the coffin shop. At this time, they were on the street. It was not yet bright and there was no one on the street.

Xue Kaizhong clasped his fists at Ouyang Zhan and said goodbye: "Brother Ouyang, since the matter of the Evil Dragon Gang has been resolved, I will leave now."

Ouyang Zhan smiled and said, "Brother Xue, why are you so anxious? I have some doubts in my mind. Why don't we find a place where no one is around to chat for a while? What do you think?"

Of course Xue Kaizhong knew that Ouyang Zhan wanted to find out why he wanted to assassinate Nangong Cheng, but he didn't want to tell Ouyang Zhan about it. Xue Kaizhong yawned and said with a smile: "From what I see, let's forget it! After this busy night

, I'm exhausted, let's go back and rest early! Brother Ouyang, goodbye!" After saying this, Xue Kaizhong was ready to leave.

Ouyang Zhan laughed a few times and said, "Okay! If you go back, I will ask Nangong Cheng to ask you, what do you think?"

Xue Kaizhong stopped and did not answer Ouyang Zhan's question. Although he did not speak, his face was extremely serious. Xue Kaizhong had witnessed the decisive battle between Nangong Cheng and Fan Jianxun. He believed that he was not Nangong Cheng's opponent, so he did not want to provoke him.

Shang Nangong became this opponent.

Ouyang Zhan knew that he mentioned what Xue Kaizhong was afraid of. If it was normal, Ouyang Zhan would let Xue Kaizhong go; but now, he can't let Xue Kaizhong go. Ouyang Zhan said: "I know Nangong Cheng's character very well.

He will resolutely eliminate threats."

Xue Kaizhong sighed and said: "Brother Ouyang, if you still regard me as a friend, just listen to my friend's advice. Leave the capital as soon as possible and don't stay with Nangong Cheng."

Ouyang Zhan said: "Why can't I stay with Nangong Cheng? Did Nangong Cheng get into some trouble?"

"Brother Ouyang, I'm really sorry. I can't tell you what kind of trouble Nangong Cheng got into. If you want to leave the capital safely, leave now! Leave now! If it's later, you won't be able to leave!" Xue Kaizhong clasped his fists at Ouyang Zhan.

Said: "Brother Ouyang, this is all what Xue said. You should be careful and take care of yourself!"

Ouyang Zhan nodded and said to Xue Kaizhong: "Thank you, brother Xue, for reminding us. We will be careful." After that, Ouyang Zhan and Xue Kaizhong stayed here and broke up. Xue Kaizhong returned to his home, and Ouyang Zhan went to Gujiazhuang.

.

On the way from Beijing to Gujiazhuang.

Ouyang Zhan thought about Xue Kaizhong's words as he walked. From the look on Xue Kaizhong's words, Ouyang Zhan could tell that Nangong Cheng was about to face a bigger trouble. Solving this trouble would be much more difficult than solving the Evil Dragon Gang, or even...

Unsolvable trouble. The only solution for now is to follow Xue Kaizhong's suggestion and leave the capital overnight.

Ouyang Zhan had already made a plan. When he arrived at Gujiazhuang, he proposed to leave Gujiazhuang immediately to avoid this trouble.

Ouyang Zhan's calculation was very good, but the reality exceeded Ouyang Zhan's budget, because after he arrived at Gujiazhuang, he only saw Hua Manchun, but not Nangong Cheng, Xiang Tianyu and Mei Shengxue. So he asked Hua Man

Chun Dao: "Where have Nangong Cheng and the others gone?"

Hua Manchun only said two words: "Imperial Palace."

Ouyang Zhan was shocked and asked, "Why are they going to the palace?"

Hua Manchun said: "Shortly after you left, a eunuch came here with an imperial edict, and then picked up Xiang Tianyu and Mei Shengxue. I thought it would be dangerous for Xiang Tianyu to go to the palace, so I didn't want her to go.

The palace, but the eunuch said that if Xiang Tianyu was not allowed to follow him, the people ambush outside would come in, and then there would be no grass left in Gujiazhuang.

In order to protect us, Xiang Tianyu had no choice but to agree to go to the palace. At first I suspected that they were disguised as the Evil Dragon Gang, so I followed them quietly. Later I found out that they had indeed carried Xiang Tianyu and Mei Shengxue into the palace.

I just came back. Not long after I came back, Nangong Cheng came back. I told Nangong Cheng about it again, so Nangong Cheng also went to the palace."

Ouyang Zhan seemed to feel something, and he hurriedly walked towards the palace. Hua Manchun also followed Ouyang Zhan, and he asked Ouyang Zhan: "What happened?"

Ouyang Zhan said: "We just had a duel between Nangong Cheng and Fan Jianxun. Xue Kaizhong tried to assassinate Nangong Cheng several times."

Hua Manchun nodded and said, "I really feel what you said."

Ouyang Zhan said: "After the duel between Nangong Cheng and Fan Jianxun ended, I stopped Xue Kaizhong and asked him why he wanted to assassinate Nangong Cheng. Xue Kaizhong did not answer my question, but he told me that Nangong Cheng was going to get into a lot of trouble.

It seems that the source of this trouble is the palace."

Hua Manchun looked at Ouyang Zhan in disbelief and said, "You mean the people living in the palace will cause trouble for Nangong Cheng?"

Ouyang Zhan nodded and said: "That's probably true. I remember when Xue Kaizhong first met Nangong Cheng, he said that if Nangong Cheng didn't go astray, he would become a legend in the martial arts world. It can be seen that Xue Kaizhong has great expectations for Nangong Cheng. How can a person do this?

Will it destroy his own expectations? There is only one explanation, that is, Nangong Cheng will face trouble from the palace, and Xue Kaizhong does this to get rid of a strong opponent for himself. In addition, there is another point that can prove that the trouble comes from the palace.

"

"What is it?" Hua Manchun asked.

Ouyang Zhan said: "The people from the palace came to read out the decree. Why didn't they come earlier and later? They had to wait until Nangong Cheng and Fan Jianxun went to the decisive battle. Because the people in the palace knew that if Nangong Cheng was here, they would never take him there.

Tianyu; only if Nangong Cheng leaves can they take advantage of it."

Hua Manchun listened to Ouyang Zhan's analysis and nodded, agreeing with Ouyang Zhan's statement.

Ouyang Zhan continued: "So this matter is extremely urgent. Once we get Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu, we will immediately leave the capital, a place of right and wrong."

Hua Manchun nodded, and the two of them unconsciously quickened their pace.

Imperial Palace, in front of Zhengyang Gate.

Nangong Cheng was walking around in front of Zhengyang Gate. He wanted to go in directly, but as soon as he came here, he was stopped by the guards of Zhengyang Gate. Nangong Cheng waited in front of Zhengyang Gate for an hour, but he didn't see it yet.

Xiang Tianyu came out of the palace. Nangong Cheng couldn't wait any longer, because he knew what Xiang Tianyu had committed - Xiang Tianyu advocated letting the law bind everyone, and everyone here included the emperor. For a society where imperial power was supreme at that time

Said, this is a kind of reactionary thought. Such a reactionary thought is just a silly girl talking nonsense at a small scale; at a big scale, it is a rebellion and overthrow of the Ming Dynasty. For such a reactionary person

, it was impossible for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to stay. Nangong Cheng walked straight to Zhengyang Gate. He didn't want to see Xiang Tianyu's body last. Now that he was going to enter the palace, he believed that these people couldn't stop him.

.

The guard at Zhengyang Gate saw Nangong Cheng coming again and guessed that Nangong Cheng was going to force his way in this time. He knew that he might not be able to stop Nangong Cheng, but it was his duty to guard the palace. The guard moved forward to stop Nangong Cheng.

Chengdao: "What are you going to do? I told you, your wife will be out soon!"

Just because he was "coming out soon", Nangong Cheng lingered in front of Zhengyang Gate for an hour. Now Nangong Cheng didn't want to wait any longer. He glared at the guard and said only two words: "

Step aside!"

The guard said: "This is the palace, do you want to break into the palace?"

Nangong Cheng snorted and said: "Don't call it a palace, even if this is a heavenly palace, I can still get in."

"You are brave!" the guard said, about to draw his sword.

Nangong Cheng also drew his sword. Before the sword on the guard's waist was drawn out, Nangong Cheng's sword was already drawn out, and the tip of the sword was pointed directly at the guard's throat. As long as Nangong Cheng moved forward a little, the guard would be dead immediately. Nangong Cheng

Cheng sneered: "Who do you think you are? You dare to draw a sword with me! Let me tell you, it would be easier for me to kill you than to crush an ant."

The guard seemed to know this too. He put back the sword he had just drawn a little bit and said: "I know it's easy for you to kill me, but even so, I will never let you go!"

Nangong Cheng nodded and said: "Okay, since you are so unafraid of death, then I will send you to death!" After saying this, Nangong Cheng was ready to stab him with his sword. With just one stab, the guard would be dead.

The guard has also closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

But the moment of death did not come, because a person's voice stopped Nangong Cheng's action, "Ms., stop!"

When Nangong Cheng heard Xiang Tianyu's voice, he raised his head and saw Xiang Tianyu walking towards him. Nangong Cheng was so happy that he put his sword into the scabbard. When Xiang Tianyu came to him, he

Hugging Xiang Tianyu tightly in his arms. Nangong Chengdao: "Are you okay? Did they bully you? Do you know? I thought I would never see you again!"

Nangong Cheng's arms gave Xiang Tianyu warmth. She lay in Nangong Cheng's arms with her eyes closed and didn't say a word. She seemed to be enjoying the warmth of Nangong Cheng's arms.

Nangong Cheng felt that Xiang Tianyu seemed to have changed. The original Xiang Tianyu liked to make trouble with him, but now Xiang Tianyu has the gentleness of a mature woman, as if he suddenly changed from a little girl to a sensible and well-behaved person.

Miss Qianjin. A person can only change after experiencing something, so Nangong Cheng asked Xiang Tianyu, "What's wrong with you? Are the people in the palace bullying you?"

Xiang Tianyu smiled, shook his head and said, "No!" Then reluctantly left Nangong Cheng's arms, began to look at Nangong Cheng, and found a rip in Nangong Cheng's clothes. She stroked the rip with her hand.

, said gently: "Ms. sir, are you injured?"

Nangong Cheng smiled and shook his head, saying: "My clothes were cut open by Fan Jianxun, but Fan Jianxun lost his life to me."

Xiang Tianyu touched the opening with his hand and said nothing.

Nangong Cheng once again felt something strange about Xiang Tianyu, and he said, "What did these bastards living in the palace tell you?"

Xiang Tianyu also realized that she had made Nangong Cheng feel abnormal. She quickly took her hand back and said, "I didn't say anything. My husband, please take off your clothes and I will mend them for you."

"Okay! But let's wait until we get back!" Nangong Cheng said, holding Xiang Tianyu's hand and walking back. But the moment Nangong Cheng's hand held Xiang Tianyu's hand, Xiang Tianyu broke away.

This was the first time Xiang Tianyu broke free. In the past, Nangong Cheng held Xiang Tianyu's hand, and Xiang Tianyu never refused, but this time he refused. Nangong Cheng felt very strange about this abnormal behavior, so he looked at it with some surprise.

Xiang Tianyu.

Xiang Tianyu noticed that Nangong Cheng was looking at her. Maybe she also felt something strange about herself, which made Nangong Cheng feel something strange. He quickly changed the subject and said: "My husband just had a life-and-death battle with Fan Jianxun. He must be very tired. It's better to go back."
