Chapter 881: Strength and Growth! Assassination? Fury!

Nangong Ji noticed the figure coming in from outside, with a strong smile on his face, and was about to say something.

But when he saw Nangong Jing's slightly embarrassed look, his face froze.

What's the situation?

Why did his daughter become so embarrassed after going out?

"Jingjing, what's wrong with you..."

Frowning slightly, Nangong Ji asked in a deep voice.

His daughter gave him advice and even went to the headquarters of Luosha Temple in person to help him solve the problem.

But when she came back, she became so embarrassed.

No matter what happened, he must vent his anger for his daughter.

Without showing any grievance, Nangong Jing replied calmly.

"Father, I was assassinated when I came back, and all the guards under my command were dead.

Only I barely survived and came back here."

Since she wants to be the heir, she must be resolute and courageous.

She must not act like a little girl.

Even if she is wronged in her heart, she must endure it, instead of crying and complaining.

Even though crying and complaining could make the father angry, it would also disappoint him.

"What did you say?! Assassination?!"

Nangong Ji stood up in an instant.

He slammed his hands on the table and looked at his daughter in disbelief.

His eyes were filled with anger, and he was not angry at all.

You should know that his daughter is the great hero this time, carrying the hope of the entire Liuli Dynasty.

If Nangong Jing was solved in this assassination, wouldn't the cooperation with Luosha Palace be ruined?

This is clearly pushing the Liuli Dynasty into the fire pit.

If he knew who did this, he would definitely not let the other party off easily.

"Jingjing, sit down quickly, how are you? Are you injured?

Tell me, how did you come back, and what happened on the way?"

Now Nangong Jing is the bridge for cooperation and communication between Liuli Dynasty and Luosha Palace.

There must be no problems.

As long as it was not an excessive request, Nangong Ji would agree to Nangong Jing without hesitation.

Before Nangong Jing came here, she had already thought about how to answer Nangong Ji.

Shaking her head slightly, Nangong Jing explained in a low voice.

"I was not injured, just frightened, and my guards were all dead.

The assassins were dealt with by a powerful senior, and it was that senior who escorted me back.

As for who sent the assassins, this... I don't know."

Nangong Ji frowned.

He was thinking about who arranged the assassins to assassinate Nangong Jing.

There should be very few people who know about Nangong Jing's situation.

Especially Nangong Jing's actions, which are even more secret, and no one should know about it.

Suddenly, two figures emerged in Nangong Ji's mind.

These two people are naturally the two princes Nangong Tianyang and Nangong Xingyu.

He had told his two sons before about Nangong Jing's visit to Luosha Palace to seek cooperation.

And he also said that once the current difficulties are successfully overcome, Nangong Ji will hand over the position of heir to Nangong Jing.

This was said in front of the two of them, and they both knew everything about this matter.

If the two of them want to eliminate Nangong Jing, who will have the opportunity to become the heir, for the position of heir, it is not impossible.

To be precise, this possibility is even very high.

As an emperor, Nangong Ji himself has a suspicious character.

He seemed to see that his daughter did not want to talk about this matter.

Perhaps his daughter did not have any evidence, so it was difficult to tell him.

It may also be that she has not yet determined who did this, and even if she said it, it would not be of much use.

When he thought of his two unpromising sons, Nangong Ji's eyes suddenly became fierce.

He almost ruined his big plan because of these two little bastards.

Although he had a guess in his heart, he did not tell Nangong Jing about this matter.

In his opinion, his daughter did not know about this matter yet.

After thinking about it, Nangong Ji decided not to tell his daughter about this matter.

He planned to ask the eldest and second sons first to get things clear.

After all, these two were his sons, and Nangong Jing was his daughter.

If possible, he really didn't want his children to go to the opposite side of each other.

For a moment, Nangong Ji suddenly felt a little regretful.

Before telling the eldest and second sons about this matter, the original intention was to stimulate them and let them continue to work hard.

But he didn't expect that these two guys would kill behind his back, and the target was their sister.

Fortunately, there was no big problem in the end, otherwise it would be too late to regret.

"Jingjing, you have worked hard all the way, and you have experienced assassination. Go and have a good rest. Leave this matter to me.

Don't worry, I will help you find the real murderer who wants to harm you."

He took the initiative to agree to this matter, just to make it easier and avoid big problems.

Seeing that his father took the initiative to take over this matter, Nangong Jing didn't feel strange at all.

Anyway, she didn't want her father to punish Nangong Tianyang and Nangong Xingyu right now. After all, there was no substantial evidence, and it was impossible to convict people without any evidence.

Nodding slightly, Nangong Jing did not continue to dwell on this matter.

Then, Nangong Jing made another small request.

"Father, regarding the cooperation with Luosha Palace, Luosha Palace Master asked me to take full responsibility.

He said that he was not confident in handing it over to others, so I had to do it."

When he heard this, Nangong Ji's face suddenly became a little subtle.

Was this what Nangong Jing meant, or was it really what Luosha Palace meant?

But no matter who meant it, Nangong Jing was no longer the one who had no basis and power before.

With the deterrence brought by Luosha Palace, she became her helper and helped herself stabilize the situation in the court.

This was also a preparation for becoming the heir.

Nangong Ji naturally saw that Nangong Jing was determined to get the position of heir.

He didn't feel anything about handing the position of heir to Nangong Jing.

Although such a thing had never happened in the history of Liuli Dynasty, he didn't mind opening this precedent.

But Nangong Ji still felt that he had to remind Nangong Jing a little bit.

"Jingjing, it's okay to let you do this, but you must be careful. After all, Luosha Palace is not a simple force.

When cooperating with it, you must also be careful of being attacked by the other party.

If used well, it will be a help, but if used poorly, it will become a burden.

Do you understand?"

He didn't want his daughter to rely too much on the power of Luosha Palace, which would only have a greater impact on Liuli Dynasty.
