With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.

As soon as Bei Chenyan stepped out of the courtroom, Xu Qinghe, who was waiting outside, knelt down before him, tears streaming down his face. "Thank you, Your Highness, for avenging my wife and children."

"Get up!" Bei Chenyan looked at him. "You still need to come back with me. After you recover, I will send you back here so you can live out the rest of your life in peace."

"This humble subject knows that Your Highness's kindness is something I will never forget!" Xu Qinghe kowtowed deeply.

Nangong Wu watched from the sidelines, secretly shaking her head.

In any country, there are far too many corrupt officials and tyrants. The autocratic system of imperial power, the defects in the fiscal system, and the failure of supervision have led to the frequent occurrence of corrupt officials.

Once she has completed the construction of Runan City, she must establish a sound criminal law system and a strict punishment mechanism to have a deterrent effect.

In the afternoon, they returned to Yulong City.

After giving Emperor Nanqi another full-body examination, Nangong Wu decided to perform the transplant surgery the next day.

But that night, assassins infiltrated the Eastern Palace.

These assassins were extremely skilled in agility, entering the East Palace as if it were empty, and quietly sneaking into the palace where Nangong Wu lived.

Bei Chenyan squatted on the roof of his palace, looking through night vision binoculars. He could clearly see the men in black approaching Tianhua Palace little by little. There were about twenty of them, each carrying a large bag on their back.

Zhang Qing quietly flew to his side, and surprisingly, she was also holding a night vision binoculars in her hand.

"Your Highness, those people have already entered Tianhua Palace. Should our men make their move now?"

Bei Chenyan took down the binoculars, his eyes flashing with murderous intent. "Don't alert them yet. Let them think they've succeeded before you make your move."

"But the princess, Li Shuang, and Li Ke are still in the palace," Zhang Qing said with concern. "These assassins might be carrying gunpowder."

Bei Chenyan raised his hand slightly. "The princess must already know. If she doesn't make a move, then we shouldn't make any."

Aiqi and Ailin, who are by Nangong Wu's side, are very capable! Even if they don't notice, people are not afraid in the space.

"Go down first. You all hold your positions and leave these people to me and the princess."

These people were all very skilled in martial arts, possibly no less than him, and they were all carrying gunpowder. The guards were no match for them.

Once they make their move, the guards will be doomed; they won't be able to stop these assassins at all.

He was the crown prince, and he used to think that it was only natural for the guards to sacrifice themselves for him. But since he followed Nangong Wu, his thinking has changed, and he has learned to cherish the people around him.

Nangong Wu, formerly a princess, never treated her guards and servants with condescension, nor did she put on airs or act superior. She never troubled others with things she could do herself.

"Yes." Hearing this, Zhang Qing had no choice but to step back.

Bei Chenyan picked up the sniper rifle that was placed beside him and aimed it at the assassins.

Through the scope, he saw five assassins enter Tianhua Palace first. One of them took out a smoke bomb, punctured the window paper, and released the smoke into the room.

Suddenly, the person collapsed.

The other four were startled and quickly retreated.

But after taking a few steps back, he also fell down.

Bei Chenyan knew that Nangong Wu had already made her move.

The gun was immediately pointed at the assassin outside, but no action was taken.

Those waiting outside, seeing that the person who went in didn't come out, will definitely go in again.

Sure enough, the people outside moved, and two more people went in.

The two men entered the courtyard and, upon seeing the people lying on the ground, immediately tried to retreat.

But it was too late. When Bei Chenyan saw the two men fall, he immediately opened fire, killing one of the men hiding in the corner.

The other assassins turned around when they heard the sound of something cutting through the air. He had already fired his second shot, killing the second assassin. The assassins were startled and immediately scattered, trying to retreat.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..." A burst of intense gunfire rang out.

Five or six assassins were shot and fell to the ground, while the rest fled in panic.

Bei Chenyan was stunned for a moment, then quickly dropped the sniper rifle and picked up the AK to intercept the group.

The person hiding in the tree was Li Ke. Seeing the assassin run away, she chased after him, and Nangong Wu and Li Shuang, who were in the room, also rushed out.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..." Bei Chenyan fired a burst of bullets, killing one person.

The other four, seeing how powerful their weapons were, didn't dare to confront him and turned to run away.

But they ran into Nangong Wu and two others who had come to ambush them.

"Nangong Wu, it really is you..."

"Enough with the nonsense." Nangong Wu raised her gun, and blue flames shot out, hitting two more people who tumbled off the roof.

The last two escaped from the left and right sides respectively.

Bei Chenyan was closer to the person running to the left, so he chased after them.

This person's lightness skill was no less than his; he nimbly dodged several of his shots and crossed the palace wall of the East Palace.

A burst of gunfire rang out. Bei Chenyan turned his head and saw Nangong Wu take out the Gatling gun and shoot the assassin dead on the palace wall before falling headfirst over the wall.

He ran even faster, pushing his light-footed skills to the limit.

He cannot lose to Nangong Wu, otherwise, if this assassin escapes, it will definitely become a dark chapter in his history.

After leaving the East Palace, the distance between them and the assassin grew closer and closer.

Bei Chenyan seized the opportunity and fired a burst of bullets, "rat-a-tat-tat..."

But it was as if the man had eyes in the back of his head; he suddenly leaped away, dodging the burst of bullets.

However, Bei Chenyan had already figured out this person's tactics and knew where he was going to hide, so he pulled the trigger again.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..." The elusive figure was hit by several shots, and screamed as it crashed straight to the ground.

Just as Bei Chenyan was about to stop, a powerful force suddenly attacked from the side.

His expression changed, and he instinctively twisted his body to dodge, but the attacker's second palm strike was already upon him.

"Die!" came the angry roar.

Bei Chenyan raised his hand in greeting.

"Bang!"

The newcomer possessed extremely powerful internal energy. Bei Chenyan felt his wrist go numb from the shock and quickly retreated.

The newcomer pressed forward, unleashing a series of powerful and domineering palm strikes aimed at Bei Chenyan, intending to kill him.

"Bei Chenyan, be careful!" Nangong Wu rushed over, but the two were fighting too fiercely, and she couldn't get close enough to help him with her gun.

She never expected that the person who attacked her tonight would be so skilled in martial arts.

The guards from the East Palace also chased after them and were shocked to see the two fighting so fiercely.

"This person has incredibly strong martial arts skills; he could very well be Ling Yangzi." Zhang Qing's eyes were filled with worry.

Upon hearing this, everyone became worried.

They could all see that the Crown Prince was at a disadvantage in martial arts.

Nangong Wu also guessed that it might be Ling Yangzi.

Bei Chenyan is a direct disciple of the Kunlun School, and his martial arts skills are top-notch, having inherited the true essence of the Kunlun School.

He has been practicing his martial arts diligently for the past few years in order to avenge his master, all so that one day he can settle accounts with Ling Yangzi.
