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

"Good, good!" Bei Chenyan excitedly hugged Yu'er into his arms.

The children's names will finally be recorded under his name. Let's see who dares to bring up offspring again.

"Daddy! I want a hug too."

Nangong Jue and Nangong Xi also came over and hugged Bei Chenyan.

"Okay." Bei Chenyan held the three children, feeling extremely satisfied at that moment.

"There's an assassin..." Li Ke suddenly shouted.

Then the carriage shook violently, and the horses began to neigh.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Li Shuang and Li Ke simultaneously leaped into the air, dodging the first wave of arrows, drew their swords, and flew onto the rooftops on either side while blocking the arrows.

Nangong Wu's expression changed, and with a thought, she sent all the children into her spatial dimension.

Bei Chenyan's ears twitched slightly. The assassins were lying in ambush on the rooftops on both sides, numbering about thirty or forty.

"The horse has been hit by an arrow. We need to get out of here immediately and finish this quickly." Nangong Wu took out an AK and handed it to him.

Bei Chenyan took the gun. "You go left, I'll go right."

"it is good."

The two men attacked simultaneously, breaking into the car and driving out.

"Bang—" The carriage shattered, wood chips flew everywhere, and two figures soared into the sky.

"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat..."

After Nangong Wu and Beichen Yan got out of the broken car, they tacitly divided their tasks and raised their guns to fire at the assassins on the rooftops on both sides.

The battle was over in less than two minutes.

Li Ke and Li Shuang examine the assassin's corpse.

"Your Highness, there were forty people in total. Fortunately, no innocent civilians were harmed."

"Hmm." Bei Chenyan gave a soft "hmm" and stood there without moving.

Nangong Wu came over and took the AK from his hand. "To attempt to assassinate the Crown Prince in broad daylight, you've got some nerve. It seems someone's desperate."

These assassins must be connected to the Wan family.

"Let them be arrogant for a while." Bei Chenyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

They hadn't been standing there long when Zhang Qing arrived with a squad of guards.

Upon seeing the dozens of corpses on the ground, they were immediately horrified and knelt down to beg for forgiveness.

"Your Highness, I am late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive me."

"This isn't your fault, get up." Bei Chenyan looked at the corpses on the ground. "Clean this up, dig out the bullets, and see if we can find out who these people are."

"Yes, sir." Zhang Qing accepted the order and led his men to examine the assassins' corpses.

"The horse is dead, we have to walk back!" Bei Chenyan said apologetically to Nangong Wu.

"Let's go then! I'm starving." Nangong Wu leaped onto the roof and headed towards the East Palace.

Inside the East Palace, a dozen or so guards were standing guard. When they saw two people suddenly fly down, they instinctively drew their swords, thinking they were uninvited guests. But when they saw that it was the Crown Prince, they quickly came to greet him.

"Greetings, Your Highness!"

"No need for formalities." Bei Chenyan nodded slightly and walked towards Yongming Palace with Nangong Wu.

"Daddy, we want to go out," Nangong Xi called out in the space. "Those flowers are pretty, I want to see them."

Nangong Wu glanced around and realized that she was in a garden.

Upon hearing this, Bei Chenyan stopped in his tracks. "Let them come out. My child doesn't need to be hidden anymore in the Eastern Palace."

"Alright!" Nangong Wu also felt there was no need to wrong her child.

She sent several children out of the space.

"yeah!"

The children were overjoyed to be able to come out and play.

"You can come out and have fun, but don't be too noisy," Nangong Wu instructed them.

Nangong Xi held Beichen Yan's hand and asked, "Father, the flowers here are so beautiful, can we pick them?"

"You can pick them." Bei Chenyan nodded with a smile.

Nangong Jue also asked him, "Father, can we play hide-and-seek in your East Palace?"

"Jue'er, this is your home. Everything that belongs to your father is yours." Bei Chenyan patted his head. "Not only this Eastern Palace, but the entire Southern Qi Kingdom will be yours in the future. You can go wherever you want."

"Yay! Long live Father..." Nangong Jue shouted joyfully, but then realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself, "Long live Father!"

Nangong Wu was helpless.

Aiqi and Ailin like to shout "Long live!" when they are happy. The two children got used to it and started shouting "Long live!" when they were happy.

"The children can play here by themselves, let's go back first!" Bei Chenyan said to her.

"Okay." Nangong Wu saw that Li Shuang and Li Ke had also returned. With them helping to look after the child, there was no need to worry.

As the two were walking, they saw the guard Fang Jianxian coming towards them.

"Your Highness, Sect Leader Chu has arrived!"

"Senior Brother Chu?" Bei Chenyan was slightly taken aback. "When did he arrive, and where is he now?"

Fang Jianxian replied, "We've been at Yongming Hall for over half an hour!"

"Understood." Bei Chenyan nodded.

Fang Jianxian then reported, "Your Highness, the Empress is still kneeling outside Yikun Palace."

Bei Chenyan's face darkened.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Fang Jianxian withdrew.

"Is this Sect Leader Chu your senior brother?" Nangong Wu asked.

"Yes, after Master was assassinated, Senior Brother succeeded to the position of Sect Leader." Bei Chenyan stepped forward.

The two returned to Yongming Palace and saw a young woman standing in the courtyard.

Hearing the noise, the woman turned around and, upon seeing them, immediately jogged over.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you're back!"

"You are..." Bei Chenyan sized up the woman, noticing her somewhat familiar face, and asked uncertainly, "Are you Qing'er?"

"Yes, I am Qing'er." The woman was very happy to see that he recognized her. She reached out and tugged at his sleeve. "Fifth Senior Brother, we haven't seen each other for so many years. You still remember me."

"Hey!" Bei Chenyan subconsciously took two steps back and pulled back his sleeve. "Qing'er, you're not a child anymore. You can't just pull on other men's clothes like that."

"You're my fifth senior brother, not just anyone." The woman persisted, "Fifth senior brother, you really don't care about me anymore. No wonder you haven't come back to see me for years."

"I've been searching for the person who killed my master for the past few years," Bei Chenyan said, pulling Nangong Wu aside to introduce her.

"Qiao Xiangqing, my master's daughter."

"Hello." Nangong Wu sized up the woman, estimating her to be seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, with exquisite and beautiful features, and dressed in martial arts attire.

"You are..." Qiao Xiangqing first looked Nangong Wu up and down, then seemed to have discovered something new, "Fifth Senior Brother, I heard you have a confidante by your side, could it be her?"

Bei Chenyan hurriedly said, "Qing'er, this is Princess Runing, you mustn't be rude."

"Princess Runing!" Qiao Xiangqing exclaimed in surprise, excitedly grabbing Nangong Wu's hand. "So you are Princess Runing! I've finally seen you!"

"Qing'er, you must not be rude to the princess!" A clear male voice rang out.

Bei Chenyan and Nangong Wu looked up and saw a tall, handsome man, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, walking out of the hall.

"Senior Brother, you've arrived!" Bei Chenyan strode over to greet them. "Why didn't you send a letter beforehand so I could come and meet you?"
