The princess returns strongly, and the divorced regent is busy chasing his wife

"Master, we have found the temporary location of the assassins."

"Where is it? You lead the way, I want to go and take a look," said Nangong Mingxuan

"Master, your assassins are cunning and it's still very dangerous outside. You should not go out. I will come back and report immediately once I catch the woman who tried to assassinate you," Gu Ying advised.

"Lead the way," the order was given without question.

Outside a courtyard on the outskirts of the city, Wushang...Lengao...was standing by outside the courtyard wall with a large number of secret guards.

"The Regent is here," the bone shadow shouted.

Unharmed, cold and arrogant, he saluted with his fists clasped.

"What's going on? Did you find anything?" Nangong Mingxuan asked.

"My lord, we were chasing the injured assassin and saw them enter this courtyard. The situation inside was unclear, so we did not rush in rashly," Wushang reported.

"Have the people sent out to check returned?"

"The people we sent out to check haven't come back yet." Wushang reported again.

"Divide the troops into three groups. One group will guard the back door, one group will attack from the front door, and the remaining group will be kept for support." Nangong Mingxuan ordered.

"Yes...I obey your command."

They started their attack on the main gate, and strangely, they broke in effortlessly, and there was no one in the yard.

When everyone outside the yard gathered inside, they heard the sound of arrows whooshing through the sky and shooting towards the people in the yard.

"It's just a trifle!" Leng Ao, who took the lead, said loudly.

After a while, everyone blocked the arrows shot at them.

Just when the people in the yard let down their guard and continued to explore the yard.

Suddenly, several secret guards fell down wailing loudly.

Those who let down their guard will be alert again.

"What happened?" Leng Ao asked.

"They seem to be poisoned," the nearby secret guard replied.

"Everyone be careful, don't be careless, cover your mouth and nose, and don't breathe," Nangong Mingxuan ordered.

Suddenly, several more people fell down wailing in pain.

"Help the poisoned person out, and everyone else be careful, separate and don't gather too close together," Leng Ao arranged.

"Everyone, defend yourself and check the yard at the same time."

An incense stick of time passed, and the secret guards who had checked came back to report that there was no discovery, and no one was there. The courtyard was empty.

Just when everyone was wondering where all the people had gone, a voice was heard coming from nowhere.

"Go to hell, Nangong dog"

A round object, smoking, rolled down into the crowd.

Everyone looked towards the thing, not knowing what it was and not sensing any danger.

With a deafening "bang", the smoking thing exploded. A cloud of thick black smoke rose up, and a heat wave knocked over everyone in the yard.

The people in the yard were blown to pieces, some dead and some injured.

When the explosion sounded, Nangong Mingxuan used his lightness skills to leap to a safe place. Although he escaped the power of the explosion, he was also affected by the heat wave to varying degrees and was injured.

The buildings in the yard were also blown down to varying degrees.

Nangong Mingxuan looked at everything in front of him and was also shocked by the power of the round thing that was emitting smoke.

"Leng Ao, check the number of casualties," said Nangong Mingxuan.

Even though Leng Ao was very good at martial arts, his right arm was hit by the explosion, and his right hand was fractured, with many minor injuries on his body.

"Most of the masters were killed or injured, and the rest were injured to varying degrees." Leng Ao said.

"What is that thing? Its power cannot be underestimated."

"I have never seen it either," Leng Ao continued to answer.

"That woman is still the same as always. He hates her so much." He was so angry.

"The rest of you, go check the backyard to see if there's a secret passage or something?"

“I don’t believe they can fly away even if they grow wings.”

"Yes," the slightly injured man followed orders and went to the backyard to find the secret passage.

Nangong Mingxuan, taking the slightly injured Leng Ao and Gu Ying, also went to the backyard to search for the secret passage.

In Ouyang Miaoling's bedroom, Nangong Mingxuan and others were standing in the room, looking left and right, knocking, looking for the secret passage everywhere.

Nangong Mingxuan looked at the pool of blood on the bed, and his heart ached and ached.

"Is that blood from that woman? Is she seriously injured? Is she still alive?" A series of question marks popped up in my mind.

"What's wrong with me? Shouldn't I hate her? Why do I unconsciously want to care about her?"

The clenched fists made a creaking sound.

Suddenly, a secret guard outside reported a discovery at the door.

The people in the room followed the secret guard who reported the situation and went to check it out.

The place that was discovered was a place that looked like a study.

Bone Shadow stepped forward and asked, "What did you find?"

One of the secret guards replied: "It seems there is a secret passage." He pointed at the ornaments on the bookshelf and said: "That one can rotate."

The bone shadow followed the direction of the secret guard's finger and saw a Qilin ornament next to a pile of books on a bookshelf.

Gu Ying walked forward and turned the base of the lower pendant. There was a rumbling sound in the study, and a wall behind the bookshelf opened to the side.

Bone Shadow was delighted: "Master, it seems we have found the secret passage. Let's go down and check it out. Please wait a moment."

"I'll go with you," said Nangong Mingxuan.

"It's dangerous, master. If they throw that iron lump in the tunnel, we will be unable to escape even if we have wings," Gu Ying dissuaded.

The man lowered his head and thought for a while, then looked up and said, "Okay, be careful and report to me as soon as you find anything."

Ouyang Miaoling ran out and saw black smoke billowing in the yard where he lived. He knew that Guimei had followed his instructions and used grenades to blow up the people who came to chase them.

She felt an inexplicable pleasure when she thought that the man she had been chasing for more than four years might be killed in the explosion.

Finally, I will get what I want. I will blow up that bastard and avenge myself.

"Ziye, have the ghosts caught up with us?"

"Master, not yet. Should we wait here? Or should we go to the agreed place?" Ziye asked.

"We won't wait any longer, let's go to Xuanyue Pavilion first." If we leave marks along the way, will they follow us?

Midnight, Xuanbing, Sifan, Siyu and a group of people protected the injured Ouyang Miaoling and evacuated to Xuanyue Pavilion.

In the suburban courtyard, Bone Shadow reported, "Master, this is indeed a secret passage that leads to the outside of the city. The assassins have all escaped without leaving any trace."

A table in the study was split in half by the extremely angry man.

Everyone was so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Guying, go check for me who owns this yard?"

"Yes, master." Gu Ying accepted the order and quickly left.

The low pressure in the room made everyone afraid to speak. After a long while, Leng Ao tentatively said, "Master, there are still many injured brothers outside. What do you think we should do with them?"

"The brothers who died will be compensated according to the pensions for those killed in action. The injured brothers will be taken back to the Dark Guard Camp and cared for by the doctors in the camp. Each of the injured brothers will be given 100 taels as a consolation," Nangong Mingxuan gave instructions and made arrangements.

"Got it. I'd like to thank the master for his consideration on behalf of my brothers." Leng Ao bowed gratefully.
