At this time, Nangong Mingxuan's consciousness had begun to blur, but he still tried hard to open his eyes, wanting to see everything in front of him clearly.

He saw Ouyang Miaoling fell asleep in front of him, and he was anxious, trying to reach out to hold her. However, just as he raised his hand, he suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness, and his eyes suddenly became dark.

Immediately afterwards, Wushang, Junsa, Guimei, Siyu and others also fainted on the ground and lost consciousness.

This group of people lost consciousness, and those rats who had been hiding in the dark finally couldn't hold back and slowly walked out of the darkness.

One of the men sneered and said, "Haha... I originally thought you were so smart, but I didn't expect that I just deliberately released a small bait, and you fell into the trap we carefully set so easily."

The man's gaze fell on Nangong Mingxuan, his eyes full of disdain and contempt.

He went on to sneer, "The regent of Northern Qi is so stupid that he will eventually die tragically at the hands of this young master." After saying that, the man's tone became more arrogant, and he seemed to be full of confidence in his plan.

After saying that, he picked up the dagger in his hand and was about to cut the tendons of Nangong Mingxuan's hand. When he raised the dagger high and was about to drop it, Nangong Mingxuan suddenly opened his eyes and pressed the man on the table with his backhand.

The people who had fainted on the table also stood up and started a fierce fight with the guards brought by the newcomer.

"Uncle Fan... could you please tell these people to stop? Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Nangong Mingxuan said coldly while holding the man.

The leader was none other than the Queen's brother, the current uncle of the Emperor, Fan Yichen.

"Nangong Mingxuan, I am warning you, if you dare to hurt me, my father will never let you go!" the man who was pinned down threatened.

"Mr. Fan, do you think that I am afraid of your father? I have not wiped out your Fan family because I have been waiting for the day when you would fall into my trap. I did not expect that this day would come so soon." Nangong Mingxuan's words showed his confidence in winning.

"Stop... If anyone dares to act rashly, don't blame me for being rude." After saying that, he snatched the dagger from Uncle Fan's hand, put it on his neck, and prepared to attack him.

"Nangong Mingxuan...this young master advises you not to be impulsive. If you have something to say, let's talk it out. If you have something to say, let's talk it out." Uncle Fan was so frightened that he was shaking all over, and his voice was trembling.

Seeing that their eldest son had fallen into Nangong Mingxuan's hands and was in danger of death at any time, the guards turned pale and terrified, and dared not act rashly. They put down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender, fearing that they would anger Nangong Mingxuan and hurt their eldest son.

"We have already put down our weapons, why don't you let me go!" Fan Yichen was terrified, but he still pretended to be calm and threatened.

However, Nangong Mingxuan remained unmoved and sneered, "Are you afraid now? Weren't you very arrogant just now?" As he spoke, he increased the strength in his hands.

Fan Yichen's face was twisted in pain, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He tried to break free from Nangong Mingxuan's control, but he was powerless.

"Wushang!" Nangong Mingxuan gave an order, and Wushang immediately drew out the sword in his hand and swung it towards Fan Yichen's arm without hesitation.

With a "puff", Fan Yichen's tendons were instantly cut, and bright red blood gushed out and splashed on the ground. Fan Yichen let out a shrill scream that echoed throughout the entire inn.

Then, Nangong Mingxuan took advantage of the situation to destroy his martial arts and his legs. Fan Yichen immediately collapsed to the ground, lifeless like a tattered rag.

"Ah..." Fan Yichen's screams echoed in the air, making people shudder. His body was shaking in pain.

Nangong Mingxuan looked at all this indifferently, without any sympathy in his eyes. He said lightly: "You don't know your own limits." After that, he turned around and walked to Ouyang Miaoling, pulling her to check if she had any injuries.

At this moment, Fan Yichen's eyes were filled with despair and hatred. He gritted his teeth and looked at Nangong Mingxuan and shouted, "Nangong Mingxuan... I will never be reconciled with you in this life."

"You're about to die, but you're still pretending to be stubborn." Nangong Mingxuan's voice came, filled with endless contempt.

"Wu Shang, send these people to the nearest government office. They know how to interrogate them." Nangong Mingxuan had planned it early in the morning. The officials in Jiangyang City were his people. If he handed them over to them for trial, they would definitely be able to find out what he wanted.

Wushang took the order and took them to the government office. Before leaving, Fan Yichen said unwillingly: "Regent King, I want to know why I lost. I saw you eating those added foods with my own eyes, why are you fine?"

This was something Fan Yichen couldn't figure out. He had clearly used bait to make them let down their guard and eat the poisonous food, so why were these people fine? This matter puzzled him.

Nangong Mingxuan did not answer his question, but gave Wushang a look. He would never tell him the secret.

In fact, when they left the imperial capital, everyone took the detoxification pill that Ouyang Miaoling took out from the space. Ordinary poisons were completely useless to them.

This is where Fan Yichen failed. Ouyang Miaoling noticed early on that there was something wrong with the food. In order to make it more realistic, she decided to take advantage of the situation and eat the poisonous food.

The others didn't notice anything wrong, but when they saw Ouyang Miaoling's actions, they understood what she meant and collectively chose to cooperate with her and continue the show.

"I didn't expect the queen to be so vicious and chase us all the way. If I had known that was in the palace that day, I shouldn't have let her go!" Ouyang Miaoling said angrily.

"Don't worry... I will never let her go. The most foolish thing she did was to force her own brother to attack her." Nangong Mingxuan's voice was cold and firm.

"I just hope everything goes well on the rest of the journey." Ouyang Miaoling sighed with emotion.

"You can rest assured that I'm here." Nangong Mingxuan stretched out his large palms and held Ouyang Miaoling's hands tightly, giving her enough sense of security.

His eyes revealed an unshakable determination, as if telling her: no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, he will stay by her side and never leave her.

"Let's go..." Ouyang Miaoling looked at Nangong Mingxuan and said softly.

"Okay... let's continue on our way."

Following Nangong Mingxuan's order, everyone started to move towards their destination.
