"It's indeed Nangong Ye!" Yuheng blurted out.

Nangong Heng was silent, pulled open Nangong Lang's sleeves, and saw the "butterfly" on his wrist fading and disappeared soon.

The cause of Nangong Lang's death was not a chest injury, but a poison that was sealed with blood. And it was a mixture of several poisons, even if Nangong Heng had antidotes, his sword injury would take his life if he had the skill of detoxification.

The old man with white hair gave Nangong Lang a killing blow.

On the small boat that Nangong Lang was riding, there was only a large bag of dry food and a bucket of clean water.

Nangong Heng looked at Nangong Lang's deathly, his eyes widened, shocked, unwilling, and painful. When he pulled open Nangong Lang's collar, he saw a thin ink-colored rope close to his neck, pulled out, and hung a jade pendant. The crescent moon was shaped like a carved by himself. The edges were not very flat, but very smooth, and he should have been rubbed frequently.

On the back of the jade pendant, the word "Ze" is engraved.

This reminded Nangong Heng of the words Nangong Lang said at the top of Qinglin Mountain: "The moon is very cold tonight."

Nangong Heng pulled down the jade pendant, Yuheng pulled out Nangong Lang's clothes and checked it, but found no other things. Then, according to Nangong Heng's instructions, he used corpse-transforming powder to deal with it.

The rising sun is rising, the sea is calm and the waves are sparkling.

Nangong Heng faced south, looked at the sea and sky, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Master, what Nangong Lang said before his death is to tell us that Chu Mingze is Nangong Ye?" Yuheng asked.

Nangong Heng raised the jade pendant in his hand. The green jade pendant was transparent and clear, and the word "Ze" on it emitted a golden light in the sunlight.

Nangong Heng shook his head slightly: "Not necessarily."

"But... Chu Mingze's people killed Nangong Lang, and Nangong Lang was about to die. Will he still protect him?" Yuheng was puzzled.

"Nangong Lang regards Ying Min'er as a shield and a chess piece. Ying Min'er knows it, but she is still willing to give everything for him. Don't underestimate people's hearts." Nangong Heng said. Sometimes because of love, sometimes because of guilt, or maybe something else, people's obsession reaches a certain level, even if they are calm on the surface, they can be crazy inside, and even if they can overcome life and death.

"Nangong Lang is retribution. He has harmed Ying Min'er for the rest of his life, but he is just Chu Mingze's shield and puppet, and he deserves it!" Yuheng said, "If Nangong Lang protects Chu Mingze before his death, then Chu Mingze is not Nangong Ye. He is deliberately misleading us. But his subordinates believe that Chu Mingze is Nangong Ye's possibility, and still exists. After all, we have not seen the real Nangong Ye yet."

"Yeah, go back." Nangong Heng finished speaking, the boat turned around and walked towards Qianye City.

This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, which is obvious. At the beginning, Nangong Heng and Ye Ling knew it well, but if they did nothing, they would not find a breakthrough. Unexpectedly, Chu Mingze had already regarded Nangong Lang as an abandoned son and killed him so suddenly and neatly, but Nangong Lang deserved it.

As for the "six", it is undoubtedly referring to Nangong Ye. But whether Nangong Ye is really Chu Mingze cannot be easily concluded.

Because if Nangong Heng and Ye Ling admit their mistakes in Chu Mingze's identity after rebirth, they will be completely trapped in Chu Mingze's trick. The real Chu Mingze will be free and easy from now on, and may soon give them a fatal blow, which will be unpredictable.

When I left Qianye City, it was already July. It was already the fastest time to return to Jinyang City, and it was still late July.

Nangong Heng was as worried as an arrow when he returned home, and he was also a little worried about what would happen to Jinyang City.

After mid-July, Jinyang City was calm, at least on the surface.

Early that morning, Nangong Zhe ran to Qiye Palace to play with Ye Chen. Ye Chen taught Nangong Zhe's light skills several times, but he had not learned it yet.

"Brother Xiaozhe, you probably don't have the talent for martial arts, so why don't you learn it?" Ye Chen's face was serious.

Nangong Zhe was a little disappointed: "Really... But I still want to learn. Brother Chen, can you teach me again? I will learn hard!"

Ye Chen smiled when he heard this, and patted Nangong Zhe's shoulder with his little hand: "I was testing you just now. If you want to give up halfway, I really won't teach you anymore! Congratulations, you passed my test!"

Nangong Zhe's eyes lit up: "Will the master continue to teach me?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Of course. But if the fall hurts, don't cry, I'm very strict!"

"I won't cry!" Nangong Zhe shook his head.

The two ran out of Qiye Palace one after another and met Nian Tingxun who had walked not far away.

Nian Tingxun took an exquisite dessert box in his hand, walked over with a smile, and handed it to Nangong Zhe.

Nangong Zhe held the box and opened it. It was a plum blossom-shaped snack inside, which looked very beautiful.

"Thank you cousin!" Nangong Zhe thanked Nian Tingxun, then held it for Ye Chen, "Brother Chen, this is what I told you before. The plum blossom cake made by my grandma is so delicious. I specifically asked my cousin to ask her to make it for you!"

Ye Chen pinched up a piece, tasted it, it was sour and sweet, and nodded with a smile, "It's really delicious! Thank you brother Xiaozhe! Thank you Uncle Nian!"

Ye Chen sent the remaining plum blossom cake back to Qiye Palace and handed it to Bingyue, and then ran out again. Nian Tingxun had already left.

"My cousin is also an uncle, and soon became an eighth uncle. I don't know what to call him," said Nangong Zhe.

"It's so great, what do you want to call it. But Uncle Nian and Aunt Ba are cousins, they can get married, and Wanwan and I are cousins..." Ye Chen frowned.

Nangong Zhe nodded: "Brother Chen, I have asked the emperor and grandmother this! You and Wanwan can get married, but I can't. So I said, Wanwan and I are a family, that's right!"

Ye Chen shook his head repeatedly: "Wrong! Anyway, my sister is my sister. My aunt said I am my sister's brother! I want to be my brother, so I don't want to get married. That's wrong!"

"Why is it wrong for cousin and aunt to get married?" Nangong Zhe disagreed.

"No matter what they are, my sister and I are brothers and sisters anyway!" Ye Chen's face was serious.

"That night, my sister will marry someone else in the future, and we don't know a man now." Nangong Zhe said.

Ye Chen snorted softly: "Whoever wants to steal my sister, I will destroy him!"

The mute slave followed behind and laughed happily. He thought Ye Chen and Wanwan were very good together, but Ye Ling didn't seem to want this possibility to appear. He had already instilled with Ye Chen that the concept that his sister was his sister.

When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Ye Chen patiently told Nangong Zhe about the key points of light skills again. Nangong Zhe fell several times and his face was scratched. In order not to be looked down upon by Ye Chen, he did not cry.

In the end, Ye Chen successfully taught Nangong Zhe. Nangong Zhe was so happy that he said he wanted to go back and practice for his grandmother and mother.

When they were separated, Nangong Zhe asked Ye Chen if he wanted to go to his grandmother's house to play tomorrow. Ye Chen had not left the palace for some time and happily agreed.

When he returned to Qiye Palace, Ye Chen told Ye Ling that he would visit Nian's house tomorrow. Nangong Zhe said that Nian's house had a very big tree, and Ye Chen wanted to go and see it.

"Go." Ye Ling did not object, "Don't run around."

The mute slave pointed at himself, indicating that he would follow him without leaving any steps.

After dinner and before going to bed, Ye Chen asked Ye Ling again: "Auntie, can my cousin and cousin get married?"

Ye Ling shook her head: "I can't do it in our house."

"Why? Is it bad for cousins ​​to get married? But Uncle Nian and Aunt Eight are about to get married." Ye Chen was very curious.

"Because..." Ye Ling thought for a while and said, "This is the family rules set by your grandfather."

"What's like? OK." Ye Chen nodded.

The next day, after Ye Chen had breakfast, he heard Nangong Zhe call him outside.

Bingyue sent Ye Chen out, and the mute slave carried two gift boxes in his hand, which were gifts that Ye Chen wanted to bring last year.

Nian Tingxun rested today. He was not wearing the clothes of the guards. He was wearing a royal blue brocade robe. He was handsome and upright, leading Nangong Zhe to stand at the gate of Qiye Palace.

"Chen'er is going to bother Nian." Bingyue let go of Ye Chen's hand and said politely.

Nian Tingxun smiled and nodded: "Please rest assured Miss Qin, Nian will take good care of Prince Baili."

When Bingyue saw Nian Tingxun leaving with her two children, the mute slave followed behind and turned around and went back.

After leaving the palace, he got into a gorgeous carriage and went to the Nian family of the Zhongxin Hou Mansion. The Nian family was originally a general, but when Nian's brother Nian Gengxin became a civil servant, Nian Tingxun became a military general again.

Nian Tingxun was riding a horse and the mute slave was in the car. Seeing the two children sitting upright playing chess, the one who played Ye Ling taught Ye Chen was Goji.

Nangong Zhe lost every time, and his annoyed voice came from the carriage from time to time: "Ah? Brother Chen, why did you win again?"

When he arrived at the gate of the Zhongxin Marquis Mansion, the mute slave jumped out of the carriage with a child in one hand. Ye Chen looked up at the plaque of the Zhongxin Marquis Mansion and followed Nian Tingxun into the door.

On an old tree not far away, the branches and leaves trembled slightly and soon returned to peace.

As the prince of Xixia Kingdom, Ye Chen received a high-level treatment in the Zhongxin Marquis Mansion. He felt a little bored, but after following Nangong Zhe to the garden and seeing the huge banyan tree, Ye Chen was happy.

"It's really big!" Ye Chen flew up lightly, "You can build a house on it!"

Nian Tingxun stood below and smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll let someone build a tree house on it. Will it be nice to come and have fun next time?"

"Okay!" Nangong Zhe nodded happily, "Cousin, you have to keep your word!"

Ye Chen and Nangong Zhe played on the tree for a long time, and had a meal at the Zhongxin Hou Mansion. Nian Tingxun sent them back to the palace.

Just like when I came, the carriage left the Zhongxin Hou's Mansion and walked towards the palace.

Passing an alley, two men in black fell from the sky, with clear goals. One swung his sword and cut off the reins of the horse, and the other killed the coachman!

The carriage shook violently, and the mute slave looked like a child in one hand and flew out of the carriage!

The next moment, the carriage wheel fell and fell to the ground with a bang!

The secret guard who protected Nangong Zhe appeared and, together with Nian Tingxun, met the attack of the two men in black. The mute slave took the child to the direction of the palace.

However, the two men in black were powerful and killed like cutting melons. After a while, the secret guards were all solved. One of the men in black stabbed Nian Tingxun with a sword. Nian Tingxun covered his chest and stumbled backwards, and saw two men in black chasing the mute slave.

"Grandpa Mute is careful!" As the mute slave turned around, Ye Chen saw a man wearing a hat appear in front of him, and the assassin behind him was already chasing him.

There was a blockage in front and a pursuer behind. The mute slave took two children and did not dare to take risks and ran in another direction.

Nangong Zhe was so scared that his face turned pale and he grabbed the mute slave's collar tightly.

Ye Chen said something in Yanu's ear. Not long after, Yanu rushed into Yewang's mansion with his two children.

"Grandpa Mute, go and deal with them. Brother Xiaozhe and I will hide it." Ye Chen pulled Nangong Zhe into the dense bamboo forest.

The mute slave turned around, his face was cold, and he drew his sword to meet the two men in black who were chasing him.

The first time Nangong Zhe encountered such a thing, he was very scared and fell down. Ye Chen pulled him up and continued to run deep into the bamboo forest.

Nian Tingxun, who was injured and chased by, saw a black shadow entering the bamboo forest from another direction, and he rushed in with his sword.

The mute slave is stronger than the two men in black, but it is not easy for one to two people to solve them in a short while.
