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

The Flying Feather Guards behind her also drew their swords with a "whoosh".

"what……"

Those who were nearby were so shocked that they quickly backed away.

The guards of the Western Yan Kingdom also protected Nangong Chengkun.

"Who?"

"I!"

A white figure slowly floated down.

Nangong Wu looked up and saw that it was actually Bei Chenyan. She said that she had heard his voice earlier and that he had only just appeared now.

"It's His Highness the Crown Prince!"

When some people from the Southern Qi Kingdom saw him, they all knelt down.

"Greetings, Your Highness! Long live the Crown Prince!"

Although there was no general amnesty for the crown prince's wedding, a year's tax exemption was granted, which the people greatly appreciated.

A general amnesty only exempts criminals from punishment or even erases their criminal records, while tax exemption reduces the burden on ordinary people.

The Crown Prince also married the renowned Princess Runing as his Crown Princess, ensuring that no one could bully the Southern Qi Kingdom anymore.

"No need for formalities!" Bei Chenyan raised his hand to the people around him.

"Why are you here?" Nangong Wu asked.

"I heard someone was slandering my future Crown Princess here, so I came to take a look." Bei Chenyan looked at Nangong Chengkun with a mocking gaze.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" The Crown Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting to Bei Chenyan. "It's our first meeting. I've heard so much about you."

"You're too kind!" Bei Chenyan nodded slightly to him. "I wonder what wind blew you all here today, and even put on this show at the gate?"

"I just arrived too, this has nothing to do with me." The Crown Prince of Dongjin hurriedly waved his hand, subtly mocking Nangong Chengkun, "This kind of despicable behavior is something only a woman would do, I could never do it."

Bei Chenyan walked a few steps to Nangong Chengkun.

"Nangong Chengkun, considering my great joy and that you were invited by me, I will not hold today's matter against you. I slapped your Crown Princess twice to teach you a lesson. Don't do such foolish things in the future; it's not worth losing your life."

Nangong Chengkun felt utterly humiliated today. The surrounding crowd cast disdainful glances his way. Bei Chenyan's people had publicly humiliated his Crown Princess, and it was clear that the Crown Prince of Dongjin didn't take him seriously at all.

This was the first time he had suffered such a humiliation. All three of them were crown princes of the same country and of equal status, so why did they all treat him with disrespect?

"Is this a musket?" Qiao Xiangqing picked up a musket from the ground.

Seemingly realizing something, his expression changed drastically. "Fifth Senior Brother, is this person planning to ambush us?"

The faces of the people on the steps changed.

Only Nangong Wu's expression remained unchanged.

Because the range of this kind of musket is at most 150 meters, she would notice if the assassin used this weapon to get within 200 meters of her.

"Nangong Chengkun, you deserve to die! You came here to cause trouble, so you wanted to lure out Princess Runing and then have someone ambush her?" Nangong Hong questioned angrily.

"Nangong Hong, what nonsense are you spouting? I came here only to congratulate Princess Runing, how could I have known that an assassin would appear?" Nangong Chengkun said angrily.

"Nangong Chengkun, you'd better really have nothing to do with this assassin! Otherwise, it won't be as simple as just fining you one million taels of silver." Bei Chenyan looked at him with eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"Hahaha……"

A burst of mocking laughter rang out from the surroundings.

"Your Highness, you're not talking about the time someone stole the jade Buddha from Longhua Temple, are you?"

As a prince, having his shameful deeds exposed to his face, coupled with today's events, Nangong Chengkun felt his face burning with embarrassment, as if he had been slapped in the face.

"Let's go!" He helped Ms. Yu up and walked back to the car without even saying goodbye.

Blood was still flowing from the corner of Yu's mouth, and her cheeks were swollen like steamed buns.

Seeing them leave in such a disheveled state, the onlookers burst into laughter again.

"Hahaha..." The Crown Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty laughed the most heartily.

After examining the corpse on the ground, Li Shan reported, "Your Highness, Princess, apart from weapons and poison powder, there is nothing on this person that can identify him."

"Someone come here!" Bei Chenyan suddenly shouted.

Two palace guards flew down from the rooftop and landed in front of him, bowing respectfully.

"Please give your orders, Your Highness."

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Bei Chenyan ordered, "Send this unlucky thing to the Jingzhao Prefecture, and increase the number of people patrolling."

"yes!"

A guard picked up the body, and the two disappeared together.

"Your Highness, Princess Runing, may I come into your residence for a cup of tea?" The Crown Prince of Dongjin asked Nangong Wu with a smile.

Nangong Xiao stepped forward and said without any politeness, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for my residence to entertain guests today."

"In that case, I won't bother you any longer!" The Crown Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, despite being refused entry, didn't feel embarrassed and cupped his hands in greeting to them again.

Goodbye.

The people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty also left.

"Everyone, disperse!" The Huo family's steward dismissed the onlookers. "On the day of His Highness the Crown Prince's wedding to the Princess, our Huo family will prepare a grand banquet. We look forward to your presence."

Upon hearing this, the people left happily.

Before long, the area in front of the mansion gate became quiet.

"Your Highness, let's go inside and talk!" Nangong Xiao said to Beichen Yan.

"I have other things to attend to, so I'll head back now and come back later." Bei Chenyan nodded to Nangong Wu and Nangong Xiao, then leaped onto the roof and left.

"Steward, close the door. We will not see any envoys, no matter which country they are from," Nangong Xiao ordered.

"This old servant understands," the steward replied.

The group returned to the mansion.

"Sister, we should also prepare your dowry! Although time is a bit tight, the Huo family must provide all the proper etiquette and decorum," Nangong Xiao said.

"I'll listen to my brother," Nangong Wu nodded.

She has everything in her space; she's just showing it off as a formality.

Li Shuang walked over and asked, "Princess, should we make public what you just said to Nangong Chengkun?"

"Let me take a look first," Nangong Wu said.

Li Shuang opened the notebook, turned to the page where she had just written, and then handed it to her.

Nangong Wu first read through what Li Shuang had written, then made some revisions. "Copy these words into an official announcement, make multiple copies, and post them in Yulong City."

Today, she announced to the world that Runan Prefecture and Jianggang Prefecture are her territory, and that 300,000 Zhenyuan Army soldiers have also been incorporated into Runan City. The Western Yan court shall not, for any reason, suppress the families and clansmen of these soldiers.

"Understood." Li Shuang took the notebook and left.

"Little sister, let me show you your room," Nangong Xiao said.

"OK!"

The brother and sister walked together to the backyard.

"Brother, with so many of us, is there enough housing?" Nangong Wu asked.

"That's enough. When Father comes, he'll live in the same courtyard as me. The other courtyards all have main houses, left and right side rooms, east and west wing rooms, and some even have rear rooms. They can accommodate a dozen or twenty people." Nangong Xiao told her the situation.

"That's good."

Before long, Nangong Xiao led her to a courtyard.

"Little sister, this is the boudoir prepared for you."

Nangong Wu took a look and realized that it was probably the largest courtyard in the backyard.

This mansion was originally a separate courtyard house with only three courtyards, but its actual area is much larger than a three-courtyard house.

It features a large garden, an artificial lake, small bridges over flowing water, rockeries, pavilions, and long pavilions, with an elegant atmosphere everywhere.

She had heard from Bei Chenyan that several more houses had been built in this mansion.

"The day after tomorrow, you will be married from here." Nangong Xiao looked at his younger sister with great reluctance in his heart. "In the future, if Beichen Yan dares to bully you, I will definitely not let him off."
