The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

"He is young and ignorant. Please don't be offended, Your Majesty." General Nangong sighed helplessly in his heart.

After giving up hope on his eldest son, he placed all his hopes on his youngest son.

The youngest son is extremely talented in martial arts.

At the age of six, he could fool his coach.

The ten-year-old was so beaten that all the coaches resigned.

He had no choice but to teach him personally, and it only took him three years to go from defeat to success.

In order to save his father's face, he never fought with his son again from then on.

The young and energetic boy was looking for opponents everywhere, but when he went out, he found that there were very few people willing to fight with him.

Now that he was fifteen years old, although he was not invincible, he was at least at the master level.

Nangong Qi thought of the purpose of entering the palace: "Your Majesty, who is the commander of the Imperial Guard? I will fight with him. If I win, how about letting me be the commander? If I lose... I will try again. One day I will win. Commander, where are you?"

The emperor pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "The person you just fought was the commander of the Imperial Guard."

"Ah?" Nangong Qi looked at Lu Xiao's body.

Is this man the commander of the Imperial Guard?

real or fake?

General Nangong didn't expect his son to do this. "How can you act so recklessly in front of the emperor? Can you command just because you want to? You fought in front of the emperor, and you still don't come to apologize. Your Majesty, I have no problem teaching you, please forgive me."

"Oh." Nangong Qi stepped forward, half-knelt down and clasped his fists, "Nangong Qi greets His Majesty."

The emperor looked kind and said, "Good boy. Tell me, why do you want to be the commander of the Imperial Guard?"

Nangong Qi chuckled, "Today I went out of the city with the team to wipe out the bandits. I heard that the number of heads in the military camp counts as military merit, and I killed nearly ten of them. If I hadn't been robbed, I could have taken on the bandits alone. Your Majesty, should I be rewarded for my merits?"

"There's no need to ask for a reward. We didn't ask you to go in the first place." General Nangong was really worried.

Nangong Qi pursed his lips and let it go in one ear and out the other.

The emperor liked this straightforward young man more and more. "You are right that meritorious service should be rewarded. But the position of the commander of the imperial guards is not something you can give just because you want it. How about this. If you can make the imperial guards recognize you, I will agree. How do you think?"

"Really? Don't go back on your word." Nangong Qi's eyes sparkled.

The emperor nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I am serious. It is not easy to make the entire Imperial Guard accept you. It depends on your ability."

"I obey your command." Nangong Qi looked at his father happily, with a boastful expression.

General Nangong frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. He has no achievements, and he is not an official..."

The emperor patted the general on the shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, it's settled. You've been busy for most of the day and you're tired. Go back and have a rest. Your son will have a bright future if you teach him well. I'm tired, you all can leave."

"Farewell to the Emperor." Everyone knelt down to see him off.

The emperor was in a good mood and took Yao Buwei away.

The guards dragged the body away and the eunuchs cleaned the floor.

Zhu Changji cupped his hands and said, "Young Master's martial arts are outstanding. Even I am ashamed of myself for not being as good as you."

General Nangong said modestly: "Commander Zhu, you are too kind. He is still a child and doesn't know anything. He only knows how to show off his strength."

"Commander, are you free now? Let's have a few moves." Nangong Qi happily came over.

Zhu Changji waved his hand and said, "Young Master, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's inconvenient. I'm injured."

General Nangong brought his son back and said, "The commander has been working hard since last night with an injury, so how can he have the time to fool around with you?"

"Wow. So impressive." Nangong Qi's eyes lit up.

He admired the strong in his heart, and the image of the commander instantly became taller.

Several people left the palace together.

Zhu Changji said goodbye, as he had to go to Shangguan Mansion again.

Nangong Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, you should go home. I'm going to the teahouse to listen to a story."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the person had already run away. General Nangong could only remind him: "Come back early, don't let your mother worry about you."

"Got it." Nangong Qi did not go to the teahouse, but followed Zhu Changji.

He originally thought that he would go to the camp outside Beijing and have a good competition with the soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the commander arrived at a mansion and looked around.

What are you doing here?

Nangong Qi flew up the wall and used his lightness skills to reach Luowan Courtyard.

Seeing Zhu Changji enter the house, he quickly went over, lifted the tiles and looked inside.

Why did Commander Zhu come to see a woman?

I don’t understand. Let’s take another look.

inside the house.

Shangguan Haitong ordered Huanshuang to present the ointment: "The wound hurts, right? Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Changji accepted the ointment and recounted exactly what had happened in the palace.

He was a little worried: "This new young master Nangong, the emperor seems to want him to be the commander of the imperial guards. This boy is very skilled in martial arts, even Lu Xiao is no match for him. Even if I am not injured, I dare not fight him easily. I am afraid he may be a variable."

Shangguan Haitong smiled softly: "His name is Nangong Qi, right? The second son of General Nangong."

Zhu Changji was surprised: "Girl knows? He has never revealed it to anyone before."

Nangong Qi on the roof was also very curious, why did this woman know him?

Shangguan Haitong said while holding a teacup: "It is inevitable that Nangong Qi will become the commander. He is extremely talented and has a high level of martial arts attainment. He comes from a famous family and has no connection with any forces. The emperor will definitely be very happy to see him."

Huan Shuang covered her lips and chuckled: "To be honest with Commander Zhu, it was the young master Nangong who was brought into the palace by the young lady with a little trick."

Zhu Changji thought about it carefully and understood: "Miss, you want to win over General Nangong? I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Nangong Qi, who was eavesdropping, was very surprised. Was it this girl who tricked him into entering the palace?

Ah, it was the teahouse that instigated those people.

Who is this girl?

Why do you know him so well?

Shangguan Haitong put down the teacup: "So my target has never been General Nangong, but Nangong Qi. From what I know about him, he will definitely be able to become the commander of the Imperial Guard. He will be deeply trusted by the emperor and will be loyal to him. This is also what General Nangong wants to see."

Zhu Changji was very curious: "How do you plan to win over Nangong Qi? This is the first time I've seen such a dedicated martial arts fanatic like him."

Nangong Qi, who was lying on the roof, was also very curious.

Shangguan Haitong stood up and said, "No need to win him over. When the time comes, the situation will force us to do so. He will have to choose even if he doesn't want to."

Nangong Qi’s eyes widened in amazement.

What a dazzling girl.

Zhu Changji nodded: "Today's matter has come to an end for now. The next step..."

"Don't worry. Take care of your wounds." Shangguan Haitong thought of the people in the palace, the martial arts world...

Huan Shuang saw the guest off: "Commander, I'll see you out. We'll talk to Miss Zhu if there's anything."

"Okay. Goodbye." Zhu Changji bowed and left.

Huanshuang sent the person out.

Shangguan Haitong was the only one left in the room.

After thinking about it, Nangong Qi turned over and went down.

Shangguan Haitong was not surprised to see him: "You are here."

Face to face, Nangong Qi had a very strange feeling: "Do you know me?"

"We know each other, okay? Sit down." Shangguan Haitong returned to the main seat and sat down.

Nangong Qi sat down and looked at her openly: "Young lady, what do you want to gain by planning all this?"
