As soon as Shen Wanwan and Nangong Wanning came out of the alley, they smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

The two were shocked and immediately followed the direction of the bloody smell, and finally found themselves back at the Sihai Inn.

They didn't hear what was said before, and only vaguely heard Canglang's last words, "It will be too late if it's any later."

The three of them turned around at the same time to look at the two people who were walking in the night.

"Canglang, what did you just say about it being too late?" Shen Wanwan repeated the question she had asked earlier.

Ye Tianlan spoke first, "Gu Beichen got into trouble in Dongjiling. I think there's a formation there similar to the one in the Jokhang Temple. I'll go and rescue him with them first."

Canglang was seriously injured and should have stayed to rest, but he needed Canglang to lead the way.

Shen Wanwan's heart leaped into her throat when she heard this. "No, let them stay at the inn. I'll go with you. I roughly know the location of Dongji Ridge."

Then, she briefly told Lao Huwei the news she had just heard from him.

She and Wan Ning had originally planned to come back and discuss with everyone about going to Dongjiling tomorrow, but now they just moved the time forward.

However, the safety of those staying in the inn must be ensured.

There were nine people in their group, and among the four who stayed in the inn, only Nangong Hao had martial arts skills. If something really happened, he might not be able to take care of the other three.

Canglang was seriously injured and it was not suitable for him to continue traveling. He should stay in the inn to rest.

The best arrangement is for the brother and sister to go to Dongjiling to rescue people.

Nangong Wanning disagreed, "No, I want one too..."

Shen Wanwan interrupted her, "No, you must stay at the inn. Your aunt and the others must be with them."

"I'm fine, let me take you there. I guarantee it won't affect your journey."

Canglang looked at Shen Wanwan, "As for Madam Xie and the others, the Princess's Mansion is not far from here. Everyone can go there. Everyone in the Princess's Mansion is ours now."

He was originally going to go back to the princess's mansion to ask for help, but he encountered a Japanese killer and almost died tonight.

Feiyue couldn't help but complain, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? We should have gone to the princess's mansion first and taken the princess's carriage before coming here."

"As for the five Japanese assassins we just took down, Brother Zhang Bin should take them back to the Princess's residence and lock them up until the Master makes a decision."

Canglang: “…”

He was only thinking about saving his master. When he heard that Young Master Ye had also come to Yong'an City, of course he had to come to him to save people. How could he remember so much?

However, Feiyue was right. The city gate had been closed long ago, and if one wanted to leave the city, one had to rely on the princess's carriage.

Shen Wanwan was surprised, "Are those five Japanese killers all alive?"

Feiyue nodded, "That's right. I took advantage of their attention being focused on Canglang to give them some cartilage powder. Big Brother Zhang Bin should be bringing someone here soon."

"In that case, go with Zhang Bin and send them to the princess's residence first. Be careful to guard them and don't let them die."

Shen Wanwan immediately made a decision, "It's getting late tonight, and my aunt and the others have probably gone to bed. Wanning, you can take them to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow."

Nangong Wanning said "Oh", "Then you guys..."

"My brother, Canglang and I will leave now."

……

Inn room.

After Xie Leqing entered the room, he walked straight to the bed and sat down. Seeing Nangong Hao coming in, he said, "Sit down."

She looked calm, but only she knew how complicated her mood was at the moment.

Nangong Hao pulled a chair and sat down opposite Xie Leqing.

"I know you have questions in your mind, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

Xie Leqing looked at Nangong Hao quietly, and after a moment he asked, "The Nangong family is the third family, right?"

Emperor Tianchen’s iron triangle consists of the Xie family, the Mu family, and the Nangong family.

The Xie family and the Mu family were both gone, only the Nangong family survived.

Nangong Hao nodded, "Yes."

Xie Leqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Is the matter of seizing luck true?"

Nangong Hao hesitated slightly, "It should be!"

It was only after the Mu and Xie families encountered incidents that he secretly investigated the causes and discovered some clues.

The Xie family's main home is in Jiangzhou, so their ancestral tomb is of course also in Jiangzhou.

However, when Xie Canghai, the first great general of the Xie family who defended the country, died, he was not buried in the ancestral tomb of the Xie family in Jiangzhou. Instead, the West Mountain outside Shangjing City was chosen as his burial place.

Xie Leqing knew about this. Xie Canghai was Xie Moxuan's great-grandfather, and therefore Xie Leqing's nominal grandfather.

Xie Canghai died in the summer. Considering the long distance from Jiangzhou, it was not suitable to return to his ancestral tomb for burial.

Since then, the Xie family has never returned to Jiangzhou. Even matters such as ancestor worship are done by other branches still in Jiangzhou.

Half a year after the incident at the Xie family, Nangong Hao heard that there had been unusual movements at the Xie family's ancestral tomb.

The entire cemetery was covered with thick black smoke, which lasted for as long as a month. Strangely, there was the sound of a dragon turning over, but there was no sign of it actually happening.

After hearing about this, Nangong Hao specially sent someone to check the situation of the Mu family, and found that the situation was almost the same.

He was already in Shangjing City at that time, but he immediately passed the news to his fiefdom. After his family received the news, they sent more people to guard the Nangong family's ancestral tomb day and night.

Some people actually tried to tamper with the Nangong family's ancestral tomb, but they were caught red-handed.

But even so, something happened to his younger brother.

He had previously thought all these strange phenomena were just coincidences, but when he heard the word "stealing luck" from the two people just now, he instantly understood everything.

Some things in the world are mysterious and hard to believe, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

What's more, there is a very powerful national teacher in Japan, who is said to be knowledgeable about astronomy and geography, and can predict the future and predict disasters and blessings.

Now it seems that the person who can seize people's luck and change their fate must be the national teacher.

If that person continues to stay in Japan, he will always be a disaster to the Nanyao Kingdom.

Xie Leqing closed his eyes and two tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

Ever since Gu Feiyan told her that she was the one who harmed the entire Xie family, her heart has been weighed down by a huge stone.

It was not until now that she understood what Nangong Hao meant when he comforted her: "As long as the Xie family is the right-hand man of Nan Yao Kingdom, they will be targeted."

Given the situation back then, even without her, the Xie family would have been in trouble, unless - Japan did not have evil ambitions!

"Tomorrow, accompany me to pay respects to Xie's parents."

She always knew that the Xie family's main home was in Jiangzhou, but she didn't know that Gu Feiyan's fief was also in Jiangzhou.

Now that I think about it, when Emperor Tianchen granted her the fiefdom, it was probably this place she chose herself.

Even after she got married, she never gave up on her elder brother.

If I'm not mistaken, Xie's parents should be buried in the Xie family's ancestral tomb.

Nangong Hao nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Okay."

Uncle and aunt Xie are his elders. Even if he didn't have this relationship with Xie Leqing, he should still pay his respects to them since he was passing by.

"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"

Nangong Hao wanted to say something when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Mom, it's me. Are you asleep?"

Nangong Wanning's voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone in the room to hear clearly.

Xie Leqing quickly reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's Ning'er, let her in."

Nangong Hao got up and opened the door.

The door creaked open.

Nangong Wanning saw Nangong Hao opening the door, but she didn't seem surprised that it was him who opened the door.

"Mother, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Nangong Wanning walked in and looked around, "Where's my silly brother?"

Xie Leqing glared at her in disapproval, "How can you talk about your own brother like that?"

Nangong Wanning curled her lips. "If he wasn't stupid, why wouldn't he be in Mother's room? It was already arranged. Wanwan and I share a room, and you and him share a room. Now he's hiding somewhere in who knows where. If he's not stupid, who is?"

She secretly glanced at Xie Leqing, and seeing that she was smiling more, she continued, "By the way, mother, let's go to bed early tonight and go to the princess's mansion early tomorrow morning."

"Going to the Princess's Mansion?"

Xie Leqing was surprised and glanced at Nangong Hao, then asked, "People from the Princess's Mansion..."

"Don't worry, mother. The Princess's Mansion is now under the control of the Prince of Qin's men. We won't have any problems going there."

Then she briefly recounted the news she had heard from Lao Huwei and what had just happened downstairs.

"Wanwan told me to tell mother not to worry about them. My cousin from the Ye family is very capable. With him around, nothing will be a problem."
