The spear shot by Hou Yi's bow penetrated the dragon's left eye and came out of its forehead. This fatal spear and arrow killed the dragon instantly.

The dragon knight fell to the ground together with the dragon, with the dragon at the bottom. Although his life was not in danger, he was seriously injured and passed out on the spot.

After being shocked, the onlookers let out loud cheers.

While everyone was cheering, deep in the palace, the emperor's ancestor, an old man in his 170s, looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's just as I expected...it's really unbelievable!"

After a battle in the palace, Chen Nan became famous in the Chu country. Soon the news spread quickly throughout the mainland. Most practitioners knew that there was a young man in the Chu country who could bend a bow and shoot a dragon. Chen Nan became famous in the first battle.

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people coming in and out of Qishi Mansion. Military attachés from the court and masters from the army all came to visit Chen Nan. There were even many people who came to propose marriage.

After Chen Nan defeated Long Qishi, the status of Qishi Mansion was once again improved, and every Qishi was highly respected. This made the cultivation trend in Chu country flourish.

In the palace of Chu State, Emperor Chu Han and Princess Chu Yue were having a secret discussion.

Chu Han said: "Have those three dragon knights returned to Tianyang Kingdom?"

Chu Yue said: "Yes, we are on the way back."

Chu Han sighed: "These three people are all young heroes, and they are all rare talents. Unfortunately, they are not from our Chu country, so we must not let them leave like this, otherwise there may be more people in Tianyang Kingdom in twenty years."

Three outstanding masters."

Chu Yue smiled and said: "My father is very worried. I have sent a message to them by flying pigeons. When they return to the border of Tianyang Kingdom, that will be the day they die."

Chu Han nodded and said: "They are all seriously injured. This matter is easy to handle, but Chen Nan's matter is more troublesome!"

Chu Yue frowned slightly and said: "Father, are we a little hasty in marrying Nalan Ruoshui to Sima Lingkong on the eve of the birthday banquet? Chen Nanruo will definitely feel resentful when he learns about this."

Chu Han said: "I thought he could only draw Hou Yi's bow. Who would have thought that he was a third-level warrior who had reached the realm of sword energy leaving the body?"

Chu Yue said: "I asked the Qishi Mansion yesterday who have advanced skills. They said that Chen Nan has great potential, and given time, he may not be able to surpass Senior Zhuge Chengfeng."

Chu Han sighed: "In a few days, Sima Lingkong's wedding will be held. If Chen Nan can't withstand the blow, it will be really bad! Maybe he will turn against our great Chu and defect to another country. If so,

Our country, Chu, not only lost a genius, but also attracted ridicule from other countries."

Chu Yue said: "Why don't you take Hou Yi's bow back now? If he really rebels against our Chu country and he takes Hou Yi's bow away, it will be bad."

Chu Han sighed, "If that's the case, it's like forcing him to rebel against Chu. Let's wait until this crisis has passed. I don't think anything will happen."

Chu Yue thought for a while and said: "There is nothing wrong with my father's decision. Although he has great potential, he is only a cultivator after all, and he cannot compare with a powerful family."

Not long after, the Emperor of Chu sent someone to the Qishi Mansion to reward Chen Nan, giving him fifty thousand gold coins, one hundred bolts of silk, and the title of Qi Shi Protecting the Country. This can be said to be a great honor. Qi Shi is already noble, and in addition,

With the title of "Guo Guo", the status becomes more honorable.

All the strange men congratulated Chen Nan, and the old poisonous monster joked: "Boy, you are really good. With one shot, one stick, and one arrow, you can get the title of 'Protector of the Country'. It's really amazing!"

The old witch squeezed through the crowd and said to Chen Nan: "Young man, I want to remind you that if you go to the Western Continent in the future, you must be careful. The black dragon you shot at the palace martial arts arena was the Western Dragon Knight Jason

The old ghost's mount, Jason, is withdrawn and doesn't like to interact with others. He has no friends. He only cares about the black dragon as much as his life. If you shoot it now, the old ghost will find you sooner or later."

Chen Nan nodded, he had already guessed that the black dragon was not the dragon knight's mount.

In the past few days, Chen Nan had enjoyed endless fame, which made Sima Lingkong, who was seriously injured, jealous and resentful. Although he also received a heavy reward, it was still inferior to Chen Nan. In the end, he was so angry that he moved out of Qishi Mansion and went home to recuperate.

On the fifth day after the battle in the palace, a piece of shocking news echoed in Chen Nan's ears.

"The emperor has granted marriage to Sima Lingkong and Nalan Ruoshui, and the wedding date has been set for five days."

When Chen Nan heard the news from the old poisonous monster, his expression changed drastically. Ruoshui would still fall into the fire pit. He originally thought that even if the emperor did not grant Nalan Ruoshui to marry him, he would not marry him in the short term.

He will marry her to Sima Lingkong, and he will definitely delay the marriage for a while before making a decision.

However, it is not.

He had made such great contributions to the royal family, but the royal family did not consider his feelings at all and made a decision so quickly. He never expected such a result. Chen Nan's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of violence on his face.

spirit.

The old poisonous monster was startled and said: "Boy, what's wrong with you..."

"Ah" Chen Nan shouted, and the sound waves surged over the Qishi Mansion like rolling thunder. Everyone within a ten-mile radius heard the angry voice. Chen Nan was furious, with a ferocious face. His body was filled with golden light, and a surge of light surged out of his body.

The moving golden light is burning like a blazing flame.

The old poisonous monster was so frightened that he ran out of Chen Nan's house into the courtyard.

"Chi"

A golden sword energy penetrated the roof.

"Chi", "Chi"...

Countless rays of sword energy came out from the house through the wall. The sword energy was bright and dazzling, turbulent and flashing in the air like lightning. Amidst the rumble, the whole house collapsed.

Chen Nan stood on the rubble and said nothing for a long time.

The old poisonous monster walked over cautiously and said: "Chen Nan... are you okay?"

Chen Nan calmed down the anger in his heart and his face gradually recovered.

"Oh, if you say it's okay, you'd be lying. I didn't expect the emperor to treat me like this. It's really heartbreaking."

The old poisonous monster said: "Five days ago, the emperor gave you the title of Protector of the Country, but he didn't mention anything about Nalan Ruoshui. His intention is already obvious."

At this time, the Qishi from the Qishi Mansion came to Chen Nan's courtyard one after another. Seeing the rubble in front of them, they were not surprised. They knew why Chen Nan was angry. They had already known that Chen Nan and Nalan Ruo

What happened between Shui and Sima Lingkong. Now that they heard that the emperor had granted marriage to Sima Lingkong and Nalan Ruoshui, they all felt aggrieved for Chen Nan.

"Alas, Chen Nan has just made great contributions to Chu State, but unexpectedly..."

"Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory..."

"Young man, you might want to drive some."

…

Everyone offered words of comfort to Chen Nan.

Chu Yue had also received the report, frowned and said, "I hope he won't cause any trouble."

Three more days have passed in the blink of an eye, and in two days it will be the wedding day of Sima Lingkong and Nalan Ruoshui. Now Sima Lingkong's injury has recovered. Although he has not been as beautiful as Chen Nan in recent days, he will eventually embrace the beauty.

He thought that Chen Nan also liked Nalan Ruoshui, and guessed that the other party must be extremely sad and angry at this time. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips, and he decided to go to Qishi Mansion to have a look.

Sima Lingkong was so proud that he greeted everyone he saw. He turned left and right and came to the outside of Chen Nan's courtyard. It happened that Chen Nan went out and hit him in the face.

"Isn't this the Protector of the Country? Where are you going? I'm about to pay a visit to the Protector of the Country." Sima Lingkong bit the word "Guoguo" hard every time, with a look of ridicule on his face.

Chen Nan was furious, and his eyes flashed with cold light. Although he had no love for Nalan Ruo now, he had developed a liking for Nalan Ruo after all, and she had his shadow in her heart. He could not tolerate the misfortune of this strange woman who was kind to him.

"Sima Lingkong, don't be proud. Although the emperor granted you a marriage, it's not you who values ​​you. What values ​​you is your father and your family. You are just a second-generation ancestor!"

Sima Lingkong sneered and said: "No matter what you say, there is one thing that cannot be changed. Ruoshui will marry me in two days, and the groom will not be you, hehe."

"Sima Lingkong, get out of here, I don't want to see you."

"Okay, now that Lord Protector of the Country has spoken, I will take my leave, but you must come to my wedding in two days. Well, you can come to the bridal chamber then, hehe."

Chen Nan's face was livid, watching Sima Lingkong gradually walk away, he smashed the door behind him with one palm.

When Chen Nan appeared in front of the old poison monster, he was shocked.

"Hey, kid, why do you look so ugly? Are you sick?"

"Perverted old man, let me ask you, where does the Ruoshui family live?"

"You...what are you going to do? Boy, don't do anything stupid. If you want to steal the bride, I advise you not to do it. In the past two days, the eldest princess has sent a large number of highly skilled warriors to Zuo Xiang's Mansion to protect Nalan Ruoshui. You

No chance."

Chen Nan's face changed, and he secretly sighed that the eldest princess was really amazing, and she actually calculated the actions he might take.

The night is as dark as water and everything is silent. This is destined to be a sleepless night.

Chen Nan tossed and turned, thinking repeatedly: "What should I do? Do I have to watch Ruoshui marry that bastard?" Finally, his eyes shot out two rays of light and said to himself: "Ruoshui has been very kind to me, and I have it in my heart."

I can't make any promises to her even if there is a trace of me, but I can't just watch her jump into the fire pit. I must stop this wedding and I can't leave any regrets!"

Although he made a decision, he still felt a little uneasy.

"In less than three months, so many unexpected things have happened. After solving this matter, I must leave here as soon as possible." Finally, he fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Chen Nan ran to the old poisonous monster's courtyard.

Seeing the smile on his face, the old poisonous monster became suspicious and said, "Boy, my face has been ugly for several days. Why did it suddenly turn sunny?"

Chen Nan said: "Let's talk in the room."

After entering the house, he quickly tapped more than a dozen large acupuncture points on the old poisonous monster's body. Although the old poisonous monster's kung fu was good, it was only barely good and could not be compared with the masters of the same level.

"Boy, what are you doing? You..."

"Shh, don't shout too loud, I just want to have a good talk with you."

"If you want to talk to me, you don't need to touch my acupuncture points, right?"

"Because what I want to talk to you about is too shocking, and I'm afraid you won't want to talk to me, so I took this step."

"Tell me, what is it?"

"I know that your poison skills are the best in the Chu Kingdom. Would you like to ask for a potion from you?"
