There was silence between heaven and earth, except for the sound of water flowing by.

Gu Nanzhi took a deep breath, could it be that the Imperial Guards of the Eastern Palace were all Xie Ni's people?

If so, this is too scary!

Xiao Yi looked at those motionless people with splitting eyes, and roared loudly: "Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear my order, why are you still standing there? Shoot the arrows! Kill them all, This is the Crown Prince’s order. Do you dare to disobey the Crown Prince’s order and risk your lives?”

Still no one moved.

"Are you really not afraid of death? Where are your families? Don't you even care about them?" Just now Xiao Yi was just angry. Now, his hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble, as if he was being beaten for nine cold days. A basin of cold water was poured into his head, and his whole body was cold from head to toe.

He raised his eyes in fear and looked at the terrifying man ten meters away, "Xie Ni, how dare you? Do you really want to rebel?"

Xie Ni chuckled, "What do you think? I even dare to assassinate His Majesty, what else can I not dare to do!"

Xiao Yi knew that he would not escape death tonight, so he went crazy and slashed at the guards beside him with his sword. At this time, he would kill every one more. They were all rebels anyway, "I'll kill you." These rebellious officials and traitors."

Gu Nanzhi walked out from behind Xie Ni slowly, she was still a little worried about those imperial guards.

"Whoosh whoosh..." Unexpectedly, the moment Xiao Yi swung his sword, the archers around him all changed their directions and aimed at him with their bows and arrows. The dense rain of arrows swallowed him up instantly.

Gu Nanzhi hadn't seen anything clearly yet. A pair of warm hands covered her eyes. Xie Ni's voice sounded in her ears, "Close your eyes and don't look. It will be bad if you have nightmares at night."

His voice was so gentle that it almost overflowed the water.

Feeling the temperature from the eyes, Gu Nanzhi's heartbeat suddenly missed half a beat.

"Thank you, sir!" She froze slightly, took two steps back hastily, avoiding Xie Ni's hand, and turned her back.

Xie Ni looked at his hand, feeling a little disappointed.

When Gu Nanzhi turned around, Xiao Yi's body had been disposed of cleanly, leaving no trace of blood.

"My subordinates will see your lord." One person kneeled respectfully in front of Xie Ni.

Gu Nanzhi guessed that Xiao Yi might be the crown prince's only person in the entire East Palace imperial guards, and the matter was so important that she didn't even dare to look at that person, she turned around and was about to go back to the cabin.

Who knows why she fell into Xie Ni's eyes?

But she knows one thing well: the less you know, the longer you can live.

"Don't go, you come and recognize him." She just turned around, stretched her hands across, and grabbed her sleeves, she looked at Xie Ni with a face full of surprise, with a bit of resistance on her face, is this really true? okay?In fact, she didn't want to know at all!

Xie Ni curled his lips and joked: "Why are you afraid that I will kill someone and silence you?"

"Sir, do you know how?" The little girl looked at him softly with wet eyes. Xie Ni's heart suddenly beat like a drum. Afraid of leaking any traces, he immediately let go of Gu Nanzhi's sleeves, took two steps back, and murmured Muttering to himself, "If I kill you, I might as well kill myself!"

His voice was so soft that Gu Nanzhi didn't hear it clearly, so she raised her head and asked him, "What did your Excellency just say?"

Xie Ni found a different topic. He looked at the man kneeling in front of him and said, "Come here to meet the Lord of Huayang County."

The man kneeling in front of him was the deputy leader of the East Palace Guards, Chen Ke. Who in the palace was not a human spirit? As soon as Xie Ni opened his mouth, he understood the deep meaning of his words.

There was no need for a small county lord to be so cautiously recommended by his master. He originally thought that his lord suddenly entered the palace to assassinate His Majesty on a whim, and kidnapped a Huayang County lord along the way.

Looking back now, the master did not enter the palace to assassinate him, but he was clearly a hero saving the beauty!

He opened his eyes slightly, and bowed respectfully to Gu Nanzhi as he did to Xie Ni, "Subordinate Chen Ke pays homage to Huayang County Lord."

Chen Ke knew in his heart that he might be worshiping the mistress of the future...

"Master Chen, please get up." Gu Nanzhi looked at Xie Ni in doubt.

Xie Ni smiled lightly, "I still want to go south. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can go to Chen Ke, he will definitely help."

Chen Ke cupped his hands and said, "Yes, the Lord of Huayang County can come to his subordinates at any time."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xie Ni and said, "30 taels of gold is in the cabin, sir, would you like to see it?"

"I've never seen such gold before, so I'm going to have a look." Xie Ni said casually, and he looked sideways at Gu Nanzhi, "Come on, let's go and have a look together."

Gu Nanzhi didn't want to go, Xie Ni smiled and asked, "Have you ever seen so much gold?"

Gu Nanzhi shook his head, probably few people have seen so much gold!

"That's it. After looking at the gold, I'll send you back." As soon as Xiao Yi died, the boat approached, Xie Ni was in front, and Gu Nanzhi followed behind him.

As soon as he entered the cabin, Gu Nanzhi's eyes were dazzled by the pile of gold that was as big as a mountain.

Who doesn't like golden gold?

She stretched out her hand to touch it, it was cool, and couldn't help laughing.

Xie Ni slowed down and walked side by side with her, with a smile on his face, "Do you like it?"

Gu Nanzhi frowned, "Don't you like it?"

Xie Ni raised his eyes to look at her, but he was thinking about something else. Since the little girl liked him so much, he decided that after they got married, he would build a gold house at home filled with gold. She could look at it anytime she wanted. It will be all right.

Who is not a layman!

"Of course I like it too."

Gu Nanzhi poked at him secretly and extorted so much gold from the royal family, which only he can do.

When they came out of the cabin, Chen Ke was covered with wounds. An arrow was stuck in his abdomen, and the swords were cut across his back and arms. It was horrifying, and the bones could be seen deep.

There were less than a thousand of the people he brought, and everyone was wounded.

Gu Nanzhi understood at a glance that this was the price they had to pay to survive. A bitterness spread in her heart. This was also the price Xie Ni had to pay in order to save her.

Although he was not exposed, nine out of ten people he placed in the East Palace were damaged, and they were all useless after that.

How difficult it is to place a person in the palace...

The boat sailed upstream.

Xie Ni was making tea. When he saw her staring at him, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why is there something on my face?"

Gu Nanzhi shook his head. She wanted to ask him, was it worth it?

Is it worth it for her?

She covered her eyes and said, "Aren't you going south, sir?"

Xie Ni poured her a cup of tea and said, "I'll leave in a moment. Don't think about anything when you go back tonight. Have a good sleep. Don't worry about the things in the palace."

Gu Nanzhi nodded in response.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, Xie Ni's eyes flashed with endearment.

He said to himself in his heart, wait a minute, wait a minute...

He talked for a while, Gu Nanzhi thought it was just a short while, but Xie Ni actually sent her to the door of his house.

"Zhizhi, are you alright!" Unexpectedly, brother was waiting for her at the door, and when he saw her, he quickly walked up to her.

"Brother, I'm fine."

Gu Nanshan looked at her carefully and made sure she was fine, then raised his eyes to look at Xie Ni. Still not giving him a good look, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you! Ask Zhizhi later to recognize you as my uncle."
