Chapter 1039: Unparalleled Return

rs. Hou spoke with such righteous indignation, as if Ye Er was obligated to help.Although Lord Anle disapproved of his wife's tone, this matter concerned the future of their two sons and whether they...Obviously, both of them felt the danger.

At this point, no one cared about feelings anymore. Yun Liu loosened Ning'er's shoulders and whispered, "You go back to Jingtang Garden and wait there. I'll handle things here."

Jing Tang Yuan that head important, Ning Er immediately nodded, then turned and quickly ran back to Jing Tang Yuan.

Yunliu then turned and went out. Since the prince and princess returned to their Northern Border Palace, there had hardly been a peaceful day.

However, tonight the commotion from these people is noticeably louder than usual.

At least they are skilled enough to break through the outermost defenses.

Yunliu quickly encountered those who had infiltrated. Several of the hidden guards also appeared and fought with these intruders.

When Ning'er returned to Jingtang Garden, Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang had already put on their clothes and come out. The two of them stood in the courtyard.

An Xuetang saw Ning'er return, she narrowed her eyes, and without giving Ning'er a chance to speak, she took the initiative to say, "There won't be any problems here, Ning'er, Shiyi, you guys go help."

Ning'er and Shiyi looked at Mo Yunjing, seeing him nod slightly, the two then left.

With the current abilities of King Beijiang, as long as he is by the princess's side, the princess will certainly be safe.

After Ning'er and Shiyi left, An Xue Tang looked at Mo Yun Jing, "It was quite lively tonight. Besides the emperor's people, who else was there"

Mo Yunjing was silent for a moment before speaking, "Xuanguo."

"……"

An Xue Tang was speechless, these people were truly restless.

But since they dared to come, they must be prepared for a one-way trip.

……

Ning'er and the others arrived, only to find that Yunliu and his group had already dealt with most of the people.

They attacked, each strike deadly, leaving no chance for these people to survive.

These people seemed out of their depth, and realized they were no match for these men from the Northern Border Palace. They wanted to retreat, but Yunliu and Ning'er and the others wouldn't let them have that chance.

It took about half an hour, and none of the people who came tonight survived.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, Yunliu frowned deeply. He crouched down and pulled off the black face mask of one of them.

The face is unfamiliar, but the eyebrows and eyes, they should belong to someone from Xuan Guo.

Yunliu and Ning'er looked at each other. After Ning'er nodded slightly to him, she turned and went back to Jingtang Garden.

Leave the rest to Yunliu and the others.

Seeing Ning'er's eyes as she left, Yunliu felt a strange sense of relief. He knew that from tonight's conversation, she must have been shaken.

His requirements were really not high, as long as Ning'er no longer thought about avoiding him, as long as he could see her like this every day, and the two could have a good talk, he was already very satisfied.

Yunliu retracted his thoughts and looked at the brothers in the courtyard. He then instructed them on how to handle the bodies.

……

Here, Ning'er returned to Jingtangyuan and reported to Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang the martial arts moves of those people and the number of people who came.

After hearing this, An Xue Tang's lips curled into a sneer. "Sending so many people at once, it seems that the third prince of Xuan Kingdom is in quite a hurry."

Mo Yunjing's voice was low and hoarse as he explained, "The secret agents have already sent word. Since the death of the Crown Prince of Xuan Country, the Emperor's health has deteriorated rapidly. Although Zhao Li is favored, his abilities are inferior to those of the prince. If he wants to ascend that throne, he needs a powerful backing force - a fearsome patron."

There is no doubt that Zhao Li wants to have Tianba Kingdom's war god, King Bei Jiang, as his patron.

But Mo Yunjing was unwilling, so he needed to find a way himself.

These people sent tonight are undoubtedly here to investigate the legendary secret weapon.

These people sent over are pretty good at martial arts, otherwise they wouldn't be able to just break in like this.

But this is good too, a huge lesson at once. This isn't Xuan Guo after all, Zhao Li wouldn't have many people around him anyway. Tonight he sent out so many, what will he do after tonight He certainly needs to carefully consider his own capabilities.

An Xuetang looked at Mo Yunjing, "If the people next door knew that their people came and went without a trace, would they come looking for them"

They dare not.

Upon finishing, Mo Yunjing placed his large hand on her long hair and gently rubbed it. "It's late, go to rest."

An Xuetang smiled, "Good."

……

Compared to Mo Yunjing and An Xuetang's leisure, Zhao Li in the neighboring courtyard was pacing restlessly in his room.

His heart was filled with anxiety and unease. He had sent out many people, but there was still no news from those who were keeping an eye on the Beijang Prince's Mansion. He didn't know if those people had completed their mission or not.

Of course, he cared more about the mysterious weapon in Mo Yunjing's hands. As long as he got that secret weapon, the throne of the Emperor of Xuan country would be his!

Zhao Li and his confidant Zhou Zhiyao waited nervously inside the room. The next door was the Northern Border Prince's Mansion. They had always thought that at most, within two or three hours, someone would come back to report what was going on.

But they waited and waited, until the sky began to lighten, yet no one came back.

Zhou Zhiyao saw Zhao Li's face growing increasingly gloomy. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, why not let your subordinate infiltrate the Prince's Mansion of Bei Jiang"

"No."

Zhao Li directly rejected Zhou Zhiyao's proposal. He had sent out many people, and now he had few left by his side. He was still in the Tianba Kingdom at this moment. If even his confidante Zhou Zhiyao had an accident, he didn't dare say that he could handle everything that followed.

Thinking this way, Zhao Li clenched his fists, "So, you..."

At this moment, before Zhao Li could finish his words, a man rushed in in a panic, "Your Highness, Your Highness, something is wrong."

Zhao Li saw this and immediately felt a surge of anger, but he was still focusing on the bigger picture. He asked in a deep voice, "What's going on"

The man knelt with a thud, struggling to say, “Your Highness, our men… they’re all dead.”

"!"

Zhao Li and Zhou Zhiyao's faces changed drastically, both of them looking at each other in disbelief.

Zhou Zhiyao's hands trembled slightly as he stared at the man, "All... all dead"

It wasn't hard to hear the disbelief in his tone. The people they sent out weren't just martial arts masters, they were the best the Imperial Palace had to offer. Most martial artists wouldn't stand a chance against them, yet they were all wiped out

The man on the ground trembled all over, not daring to hide anything. He stammered, "Yes, the corpse...the corpse was transported by people from the Beijang Royal Manor to the mass grave. I've confirmed this, and none of our men survived."

Never give up!

The four words sent Zhao Li stumbling, almost causing him to fall.

Zhou Zhiyao quickly helped him up, "Your Highness, be careful."

After coming to his senses, Zhao Li didn't hesitate. He shoved Zhou Zhiyao aside and stared at the kneeling man with blazing eyes, gritting his teeth and demanding:

"Why was there no news before So many people died at the Bei Jiang Wangfu, why didn't you hear a thing"a frightened bird.Qingya giggled and quickly followed him back into the house.As soon as she entered the house, Xiaoqin shut the door and let out a long sigh of relief.Qing Ya giggled silently from th...
