Chapter 420 Another incident occurred
"Sister...Xie Ling, have you noticed that we have no guards along the way?"
Xie Ling nodded, "Indeed not..."
Her expression changed. "I remember the last time I came here, the Nangong Mansion was heavily guarded. There were guards patrolling almost every few steps. So—"
Nangong Yu took over Xie Ling's words, his face pale and blue, "Xu Haitang is so vicious that he has transferred all the secret guards and servants of my Nangong family away! The Nangong Mansion is now as fragile as paper, anyone can tear it into pieces!"
Xie Ling was more concerned about the safety of everyone on Mingyue Island.
He asked hurriedly: "How many people did you send to protect them?"
Nangong Yu comforted him, "Don't worry, they are all family members, they won't kill each other. Besides, the disciples are no longer in the inn, and it will take time for the guards to find them."
Xie Ling was still feeling uneasy, "Once it gets dark, we'll act immediately."
Nangong Yu nodded, his brows furrowed, and a look of thought appeared in his eyes.
Every family has spies from other forces.
This is an unspoken fact in Kyoto.
The Nangong family is now without protection, and the grandfather is in a coma...
Just hope nothing happens.
After returning to the courtyard, Nangong Yu quickly distributed his few remaining guards with high martial arts skills to the women, children and young children in the mansion.
He instructed the guards to give priority to protecting women no matter what happened.
Then they started to clear out the people to prevent the fire from accidentally injuring innocent people.
After everything was done, the sunset filled the sky and the night was gradually approaching.
As soon as Nangong Yu and Xie Ling walked out of the door, a servant came running over, "Young Master, the young mistress made a box of cakes and wanted to give it to you personally. She is now at the gate of the outer courtyard. Do you want to see her?"
Nangong Yu paused for a moment before he suddenly remembered that he had a wife!
He pinched his eyebrows.
A while ago, he lowered himself to meet her, but she avoided him.
Why did you suddenly ask to see me again and even prepare pastries?
Nangong Yu waved his hand and said, "I'm not feeling well and will go see her another day."
The servant understood, turned around and ran away.
Xie Ling didn't realize that Nangong Yu was already married.
Nangong Yu quickly sent two more guards to protect Wei Linglong before it got completely dark.
After all, she is his nominal wife and a princess of another country. It would be difficult to explain if something really happened to her.
On the other side, Wei Linglong listened to the servant's report with no expression on her face. She turned around and walked back silently.
She had rejected Nangong Yu last time, so it was only right that he should come back this time.
However, Que'er has always been speaking up for her.
"It's ridiculous that a grown man is so shy and even feels unwell."
"Be careful what you say."
Wei Linglong warned coldly.
Que'er slapped her own mouth quickly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's Young Master Nangong's attitude that is too irritating... Hey, wait."
Que'er pointed at the two tall and strong guards in front of her and said, "Aren't those the guards of the Nangong family? Why are they outside our yard?"
Wei Linglong narrowed her almond-shaped eyes.
Nangong Yu never monitored her.
Why did they suddenly send two guards here? They looked like martial arts guards who were skilled in martial arts.
Unless... he was sent to protect her?
When the two guards saw Wei Linglong, they immediately stepped forward and saluted, "My humble servant greets the young lady."
Before Wei Linglong could ask, they explained, "There was a thief in the house, and the young master was afraid of disturbing the lady's peace, so he sent us to look after her."
Wei Linglong curved her lips, "Okay, thank you then."
Turning around, she hid the deep thought in her eyes.
How could a thief break into the Nangong family?
This is the number one family in Dongling.
Who is so blind as to dare to steal things from the Nangong family?
Therefore, something unexpected might happen to the Nangong family.
These two people were sent by Nangong Yu to protect him.
Wei Linglong felt even more uneasy.
As soon as it got dark, she received the news that the main courtyard of the family was on fire!
The secret guard asked, "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Wei Linglong pondered and said, "Let's wait and see what happens. If there is any disturbance, notify me immediately."
After a pause, she continued, "If I'm in trouble, don't linger, and be sure to send this news back to Wei Zhao as soon as possible!"
---
The master's courtyard is the most spacious and luxurious place in the entire Nangong Mansion.
Now, except for the master's study which is still intact, the bedroom, the dining room, the meeting room... are all engulfed by the raging fire.
The red flames licked the starry sky, dyeing half of Kyoto's night sky crimson.
When Nangong Yu hurried over, the study was indeed in chaos.
Nangong Ruizheng refused to come out no matter what, so the assassins could only guard outside, constantly fetching water and putting out the fire to prevent the fire from spreading to this side.
Beads of sweat rolled down everyone's face and their feet were running cold.
But it wasn't enough, the flames were too big!
"Master, please come out first! Wait until the fire is completely out before going in!"
There was no sound in the house.
"Let me go and persuade Grandfather."
Nangong Yu suddenly appeared.
The assassin looked confused, "But the master has ordered not to see anyone, including us..."
Nangong Yu interrupted him sternly, "This is a matter of life and death. Can you take responsibility for Grandfather's life? What if Grandfather fainted in there and couldn't hear the call? Get out of the way! I will bear all the consequences!"
Seeing the fire growing bigger and bigger, and remembering that there was no sound at all in the house, the assassins finally became afraid and quickly made way.
After seeing Xie Ling, he stretched out his hand to stop her, "Young Master, don't make things difficult for me———"
Nangong Yu pushed him away and shouted, "This is the doctor!"
Seeing that the man was about to speak, Xie Ling looked around and knocked him to the ground with an elbow.
Time waits for no one now.
The room was dark except for a faint candlelight.
Nangong Rui was lying on the table with his eyes closed, as if he was in a coma.
Xu Haitang was standing next to him. When she heard the door open, she quickly looked up.
The dagger in his hand was quietly placed on Nangong Ruizheng's neck, and his voice was sharp:
"Who is coming!"
Nangong Yu had sharp eyes and did not miss the cold light that flashed by.
He deliberately made his voice gentle and anxious, "There's a fire outside. I'm here to take Grandpa and you away."
Xie Ling hid behind the door.
Xu Haitang frowned.
"Is it you? There are servants here. The fire will be out soon. Grandfather is sleeping. Don't come over or you'll wake him up."
Nangong Yu clenched his fists and slowly approached, "Haitang, be obedient. The smoke from the fire is also poisonous. Follow your brother obediently. I will carry Grandpa on my back."
This tone was the same as the one he usually used to coax Xu Haitang.
Every time Xu Haitang made a mistake or disobeyed, Nangong Yu always looked helpless and gentle.
Nangong Yu’s gentle image is too deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
Xu Haitang gradually relaxed his vigilance and put away the dagger in his hand.
"Grandfather is in a deep sleep, you—uh—"
A sharp knife quickly pierced through the wound on Xu Haitang's chest!
The old wounds had not yet healed and new ones had appeared. She fell back in pain and let out a scream.
"You, you lied to me! Nangong Yu, you actually lied to me! I'm going to kill you!"
Xu Haitang's eyes were red, his face was distorted, and his voice was full of disbelief.
She had never seen Nangong Yu like this!
Cold and murderous, just like a Shura!
The assassins noticed the unusual movement and surrounded the room. They were about to break in when they heard Xu Haitang's scream and continued to put out the fire.
Xu Haitang is none of their business.
"Heh." Nangong Yu sneered and stabbed her in the other side of the chest with another knife.
Blood gushed out of Xu Haitang's mouth and the pain was excruciating.
"I, I killed so many people, but I never thought of harming you! I treated you as my real brother, but you have such a vicious heart!"
Nangong Yu looked at her as if she was a joke.
He coldly drew out the long knife with barbs.
"You killed my people, bullied my family, harmed my sister, and poisoned my grandfather. For all the shit you did, killing you ten times is not enough!
As for being nice to you, it's because of my aunt and because of our blood. Do you think I'm spoiling you? What a joke!"
Xu Haitang's face instantly turned gray.
Those wounds are not as lethal as this sentence.
Xie Ling ran over quickly and tied up the disabled Xu Haitang like a dumpling.
Xu Haitang stared at him with a weak voice, "Who are you?"
Xie Ling was speechless. She slapped Xu Haitang in the face, and his face instantly became red and swollen.
Xie Ling ripped open her sleeves again, placed the Emei needle on the location of her birthmark, looked at the moon in the sky, and spoke in a cold and light voice.
"I am a ghost who is here to take your life!"
Xu Haitang's pupils shrank, "You, who are you!"
"We don't have time now. Wait until I have cured the old man of his poison, and then I will slowly settle accounts with you."
After Xie Ling finished speaking, she pressed down the Emei Spear hard, piercing through the red tea birthmark and nailing Xu Haitang's left hand to the floor.
"Removing the poison? You actually knew I had poisoned him? Haha, don't worry, even if you have the mother poison in your hand, you can't remove it. This is the product of my life's research—ah!"
Xu Haitang let out another scream.
It turned out that Nangong Yu disliked her noise and dislocated her jaw.
Xie Ling was immersed in the detoxification process.
Only half an hour.
Xie Ling then developed an antidote and gave it to the old man.
"You will be in a coma for three days after eating it."
Xu Haitang's eyes changed from disdain to shock, and he mumbled something in his mouth.
Xie Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "You still need to practice your Gu skills."
Killing people is nothing more than that.
What Xu Haitang is most proud of is his talent in Guxue.
Now that even her only thing was beaten up, her eyes were filled with resentment that seemed like blood could drip out, and she wished she could rush over and tear Xie Ling to pieces.
Xie Ling looked at Nangong Yu and said, "Leave the people to me. You can go and arrange things in the mansion."
"Are you leaving?" Nangong Yu pursed his lips, wanting to keep her, but he didn't know how to start.
I thought it would be great if my third brother was here.
Xie Ling nodded and kicked Xu Haitang into the sack, "Yes."
The voice just fell.
Suddenly, there was the sound of swords and guns outside, accompanied by the sound of fighting.
The expressions of the two changed instantly.
what happened?
Nangong Yu quietly opened a corner of the window, his heart sinking into an icy cave, "Oh no! The Nangong family is surrounded!"
