Chapter 252 - Dangerous, Attacked by Assassin (2/2)

“Lord, be care-“

The intense sound of close fighting and blood-curdling screams just now didn’t have any effect on that man inside the palanquin even for a bit, however, at this time, they saw that white palanquin was destroyed by a palm from the person inside, and the man in white actually flew out.

Gong Moran picked up Nan Xun’s waist with his left hand and waved his right hand to the air lightly.

After a standstill, two poisoned darts were pinched between those slender fingers.

His gaze abruptly became coated with thick ice as his fingers flicked lightly and those two darts were returned the same way it went from, piercing the chest of an Imperial Guard.

That man fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and died on the spot.

The other Imperial Guards were shocked.

Gong Moran only gave a faint sentence, “This person is a traitor, he almost hurt this Lord’s disciple just now.”

It was naturally not Nan Xun that the traitor wanted to hurt, Gong Moran was beside Nan Xun, but it’s just that Nan Xun was always wandering around the palanquin, making that mole not know where to start so he just threw two darts, one for Nan Xun, and one for Gong Moran.

The Imperial Guard’s chief was at a great shock, he knelt on the ground with a thump as he said, “This matter happened because of this minister’s ineffective supervision, eventually letting a mole entered in the rank, asking State Teacher to give punishment!”

Gong Moran said expressionlessly, “You truthfully report this matter to the emperor, let the emperor decides how to deal with it.”

As soon as the head guard heard this, his legs immediately softened, realizing that he was finished this time because State Teacher wouldn’t plead for him, when the time comes, a dismissal would be considered light. It looked like Lord State Teacher was really angry this time.”

Nan Xun’s waist was held by Gong Moran, she stretched out a finger and poked his arm with a lingering fear on her face, “My Lord, I’m okay.”

Hearing it, Gong Moran then loosened her waist, reaching out and rubbed her head, “There’s this Lord here, don’t be afraid.”

Nan Xun looked at him with admiration in her eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly curled up, “I know, there’s my Lord here, this disciple wouldn’t be afraid of anything.”

When Gong Da saw this scene, his eyes flickered slightly. At this moment, Gong Moran gave him a cold gaze, giving him a burst of chill inside his heart.

Lord, he… already knew.

When the hidden weapons were shot out, Gong Da could actually stop it in time, but he hesitated.

At that moment, he thought that this woman might as well die just like this.

The incident where State Master was attacked by assassins soon spread to the monarch and the three envoys’ ears.

At that time, the envoy of Donglin Kingdom, Qi Hengqing, was playing chess against himself in the palace. When he heard this news, he couldn’t help but laugh, disrupting the chess play on the table, “It seems that Nanyun Kingdom isn’t as united as we can see from the outside, we haven’t done any big moves but they have started fighting first.”

The confidant next to him asked in a low voice, “Master, now that there’s this incident, what should the next move be?”

Qi Hengqing sneered, “We heard that the most favored prince of Nanyun is the second prince, but the most talented one is actually the fifth prince, however, because his birthmother was a humble maidservant, so he isn’t liked that much. We always like talented people, we don’t mind giving this fifth prince a hand.”

…

After the false alarm, when Nan Xun arrived back at Moran Hall, she immediately poured herself a pot of tea.

She thought that she could bear it by gulping down her own saliva and come back earlier, but she didn’t expect that there would be so many assassins along the way.

Gong Moran was at the side looking at her drinking too quickly, he shook his head slightly, “Drink slowly, this Lord has more here.”

With that, he pushed another pot of tea in front of the little girl.

“Thank you, Lord!” Nan Xun unceremoniously picked up another pot of tea and poured it out, gulping it down her throat with fervor, “Lord, this pot of tea is really delicious ah.”

Little Eight ‘aiya’ and said, “Why don’t you say that big boss’ breath is also fragrant?”

Nan Xun: …
