Chapter 842 Zhuo Family Father and Son, Mei Changsu's Panic

The more they fought, the more shocked Zhuo Dingfeng felt. Originally, he was very confident in today's assassination, but he never expected that such a formidable enemy would be killed.

They had fought more than a dozen moves in the blink of an eye. As a Langya list master with extremely rich combat experience, Zhuo Dingfeng could be sure that the man who suddenly appeared and protected Shen Zhui was definitely not weaker than him.

Although he actually didn't really want to kill Shen Zhui, but since he promised Xie Yu, he wouldn't let him go.

It's just that the more he collided with Zhou Chen, the more he understood that with this person around, their father and son would never be able to kill Shen Zhui.

Thinking of this, and seeing that Shen Zhui had retreated far away, and he couldn't get rid of the masked man, he immediately made a decision in his heart.

Suddenly he quickly swung the long sword in his hand, the dazzling sword light forced Zhou Chen back, and then he quickly retreated, and shouted loudly.

"withdraw!"

Then he took the lead in flying into the air, and Zhuo Qingyao, who was injured by Zhou Chen before, also retreated from another direction.

Zhou Chen saw Zhuo's father and son leaving, if he pursued him, he would definitely be able to catch up, but he didn't have this idea.

Zhuo's father and son killed a lot, according to the law, they are definitely not good people, but after all, there is a big difference between ancient times and modern times. It is very normal to kill people under orders, and there is no reason for it.

The Zhuo family's father and son were actually pitiful people, they were played by Xie Yu, and their relationship with Xiao Jingrui, Zhou Chen really regarded Xiao Jingrui as a friend, so he didn't think about what he would do to the Zhuo family's father and son?
More importantly, the Zhuo family and his son are the most important bargaining chip for Mei Changsu to bring down Xie Yu, Marquis of Ningguo, because the Zhuo family and his son know almost all of Xie Yu's dirty things. Room to turn around.

The rapid sound of horseshoes sounded, Zhou Chen took a look, and found that Lie Zhanying, under King Jing's command, was leading the people, so he didn't stay any longer, jumped up and disappeared quickly.

Before leaving, he glanced at the direction not far from Shen Zhui. When he had just fought with the Zhuo family and his son, he had already found Xiao Jingrui hiding in the dark, but he never thought of exposing him.

Lie Zhanying led the people quickly to Shen Zhui.

"Master Shen, are you alright?"

Shen Zhui was still in shock: "I'm fine, General Lie, why did you come here suddenly?"

Lie Zhanying replied truthfully: "It was His Royal Highness Prince Jing who discovered the anomaly, so we came here to protect you."

Shen Zhui was moved: "General Lie, please thank His Highness King Jing for me."

Afterwards, Lie Zhanying asked about the situation just now, while Shen Zhui knew everything, and told everything that happened just now.

Xiao Jingrui, who was hiding in the dark, saw the situation develop to such an extent, so he didn't intend to show up again, but quickly left the scene.

He saw everything that happened just now, he followed Zhuo Qingyao all the way here, and he also recognized the other black-clothed assassin, who was his father Zhuo Dingfeng.

He didn't understand the assassination of Shen Zhui by his father and brother. If there was no masked man, he would definitely stand up and stop it.

But thinking of his brother Zhuo Qingyao being injured just now, he was still quite worried, so he wanted to go back early to see how Zhuo Qingyao was doing.

The Zhuo family's father and son met halfway, and when Zhuo Dingfeng saw his son, he anxiously asked, "Qingyao, how are you?"

Zhuo Qingyao's face was pale, the mask had been removed, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.

"Father, I'm fine, but I suffered an internal injury, and I'm afraid I won't be able to use force in the next few days."

"so serious?"

Zhuo Dingfeng was also taken aback, he saw Zhuo Qingyao being slapped flying, but he never expected to suffer such a serious injury.

Zhuo Qingyao said: "That masked man is too strong, his internal strength and power are far superior to mine, if I hadn't been restrained by you just now, I might have been killed by him."

Zhuo Dingfeng's face was serious, and he said, "Let's go back first."

He returned to the Marquis of Ningguo soon, while Xie Yu was waiting in the study for the return of the Zhuo family and his son.

As soon as Zhuo Dingfeng and his son pushed the door open, he couldn't wait to stand up and asked, "How is it?"

Zhuo Dingfeng replied with an uneasy face: "Brother Xie, I'm sorry, we missed."

Xie Yu was startled, "What did you say? You missed it? How could you miss it?"

Zhuo Dingfeng said in a deep voice: "I underestimated the defense around Shen Zhui. I didn't expect that there was a top expert protecting him. Qingyao was even injured by this person. I am worried that if I continue to stay, there may be problems. , so I chose to retreat."

"Extreme master? You can't even win Brother Zhuo?"

Xie Yu looked surprised, as for Zhuo Dingfeng saying that Zhuo Qingyao was injured, he didn't take it to heart at all.

Zhuo Dingfeng said truthfully: "This person's martial arts are by no means inferior to mine, not to mention that the situation was urgent at that time. I was worried that if I continued to entangle, it would attract more support, so I had to retreat."

Xie Yu showed disappointment, and pondered: "Although Shen Zhui is the Minister of the Household Department, he was born in a noble family and has little contact with people in the Jianghu. How could he have a top guard?"

"Brother Zhuo, you are the fourth-ranked master in the Langya master list. If you fight against this person, can you tell who he is?"

Zhuo Dingfeng pondered and said: "This person has the strength to be on the Langya list. There are not many people with such strength in the current capital. Meng Zhi is the second one on the Langya master list, and the little guard next to Mei Changsu is also For one, there is Jingrui’s friend Gong Ziyu. I have never fought against him, but he is definitely very strong. Apart from these three, there should be one more, the deputy suzerain of the Jiangzuo League, the most powerful in the world. The mysterious master, Luo Sha, Mei Changsu has come to the capital, and there is a great possibility that he will also come."

Xie Yu said decisively: "It can't be Meng Zhi, Meng Zhi should still be in the palace at this time."

Zhuo Dingfeng nodded, and said: "Well, I think so too, the other party is a master of swordsmanship, Commander Meng is strong in boxing skills and long weapons for killing enemies on the battlefield, swordsmanship will not be his specialty."

"It won't be the little guard next to Mei Changsu. I have fought against him before. He is also better at punching and kicking, and the opponent is much taller than him. He is a mature man."

"So, there are only two most likely ones, Gong Ziyu and Luo Sha."

Xie Yu's eyes narrowed: "These two people are related to Mei Changsu, one is a good friend, the other is his deputy suzerain, who do you think is more likely?"

Zhuo Dingfeng shook his head and said: "I can't be sure, I have never seen Luo Sha, but I have seen Gong Ziyu, but I have never seen Gong Ziyu's martial arts. Although Gong Ziyu is not a few years older than Jing Rui, he can climb the The list of top ten masters is definitely not false, and I heard that he easily defeated Jiangdong's son Banruzhen half a year ago."

Xie Yu murmured, "Gong Ziyu should have nothing to do with Shen Zhui. The key point lies in Mei Changsu. Shen Zhui's investigation of the private artillery workshop is not good for the crown prince. Mei Changsu is a man who honors the king, so he must hope If Shen Zhui finds something, it is understandable to send someone to protect Shen Zhui."

"Brother Xie, what do you mean, that person is the deputy suzerain of the Jiangzuo League, Luo Sha?"

Zhuo Dingfeng's face showed shock. The two suzerains of the Jiangzuo League are both famous figures in the world, and it can be said that they have achieved each other.

Relying on the power of the Jiangzuo League, Mei Changsu is a first-class young master in Jianghu. Although no one knows his origin and identity in Luocha, Langya ranks fifth in the master list. Jianghu, if he is willing to expose his identity, his prestige will definitely not be much worse than that of Mei Changsu.

These two are the top existences in Jianghu, if it is not necessary, he really does not want to confront these two.

"Nine times out of ten," Xie Yu said.

Zhuo Dingfeng asked hesitantly: "Brother Xie, why did His Royal Highness have to kill Shen Zhui? Then what happened to the private artillery workshop?"

Xie Yu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

"Private Paofang was run privately by Zhijing of the former Hubu Shangshulou, and has nothing to do with the prince, but Shen Zhui insisted on this matter, trying to trap the prince in an unrighteous way. His intentions are really hateful; It must be ordered by King Yu to frame His Highness the Crown Prince in front of His Majesty, so there is not much time left for us to resolve this matter."

Zhuo Dingfeng asked in surprise: "You mean, behind Shen's pursuit of this person is King Yu's instigation?"

Xie Yu straightened his face immediately, and said, "Brother Zhuo, don't you believe me?"

Zhuo Dingfeng said with a little embarrassment: "Brother Xie, what are you talking about? Since it was arranged by His Royal Highness, I will do my best."

The reason why he helped Xie Yu was because of their relationship on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also wanted to provide Tianquan Villa with a future that could be inherited from generation to generation.

Although Tianquan Villa has a lot of power in the Jianghu, how can the Jianghu be compared with the imperial court?

But the court order is different. If you can have the merits of being a dragon, you will definitely not be able to escape a title, and maybe it can be hereditary. Isn't this much better than the precarious world?
So he clearly knew that the prince and Xie Yu's methods were sometimes extreme, but he, who was used to fighting in the rivers and lakes, also felt that this was one of the necessary methods on the road to success.

"It's just that now Qingyao is injured and needs to recuperate, so he can't do anything, and Shen Zhui is surrounded by that mysterious person to protect him. Our people were all picked out before, and now there is no one available. It is very difficult for me to rely on me alone." Can kill Shen Zhui."

Hearing this, Xie Yu's face suddenly became ugly. The reason why he was promoted so quickly these years has a lot to do with the Zhuo family's Tianquan Villa. There are too many to count.

Owning the power of Tianquan Villa is also the capital he is proud of.

But now Tianquan Villa's combat power in the capital is almost empty, only the Zhuo family and his son are left, and now Zhuo Qingyao is injured again, although Zhuo Dingfeng is strong in martial arts, the mysterious person who can protect Shen Zhui is also Also great.

What's more, after what happened during the day today, Shen Zhui must be like a frightened bird, and his guard must be greatly increased. If he assassinates again, the success rate may be even lower.

Xie Yu's eyes were grim. Even if the success rate was not high, he still had to give it a try. The crown prince was chosen by him, and he could hold him. Down, there is an existence above ten thousand people, so he must fight to the end.

"Brother Zhuo, I think we still have to give it a try, so I have to work hard on you again."

"Brother Xie, I'm not afraid of hard work, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to fulfill His Royal Highness's entrustment."

"Give it a try, if you really don't have a chance, forget it."

Xie Yu also knew that this was a bit embarrassing for Zhuo Dingfeng, but he still didn't want to give up. He picked up a map from the table next to him.

"Brother Zhuo, this is the drawing of Shen Zhui's private house, brother Zhuo, please."

Zhuo Dingfeng took the blueprint, Xie Yu suddenly saluted solemnly, and he quickly returned the salute.

"Don't worry, Brother Xie, I will do my best."

The Zhuo family's father and son walked out of Xie Yu's study, and after leaving, Zhuo Qingyao couldn't help but said: "Father, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, you really shouldn't agree."

Xie Yu is his father-in-law, and he is also helping Xie Yu, but Zhuo Dingfeng is his real father, but he knows how powerful that mysterious man is, and they startled the snake again, and if they go to assassinate again, maybe they will set a trap, That's why he was extra worried.

Zhuo Dingfeng said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but this is an opportunity for our Zhuo family in Tianquan Villa. If you don't pay, how can you get anything in return? We have always wanted to get rid of the status of a family of Jianghu, and it is us who help the prince ascend the throne. Biggest opportunity."

Zhuo Qingyao remained silent, he also understood this truth, but he was just worried about his father.

The two returned to the room, changed their clothes, and just walked out of the room.

"Father, elder brother Qingyao."

Xiao Jingrui came towards him, and both father and son changed their expressions and smiled.

"Jingrui, you didn't go out?"

Xiao Jingrui didn't smile, but looked gloomy: "I'm going out, brother Qingyao, is your injury serious?"

The faces of Zhuo's father and son changed suddenly, and Zhuo Qingyao couldn't help asking: "Jingrui, what are you talking about? When did I get hurt?"

Xiao Jingrui directly showed his cards and said, "Brother Qingyao, stop pretending. I followed you all the way today, so I know exactly where you went and what you did. I saw with my own eyes that you were injured and vomited blood by that masked man. You You must have suffered serious internal injuries, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Jingrui had already told about the situation at that time, the faces of the Zhuo family and his son became even more ugly.

"Jingrui, you actually followed me, what do you want?"

"I didn't think about what to do. Father, brother, why did you kill Mr. Shen? Since Mr. Shen took office as Minister of the Household Department, he has never heard of any bad deeds. Why are you going to assassinate him, Dad?"

Zhuo Dingfeng knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he said: "Who arranged this matter, I won't say, I believe you can guess it, how can I control this?"

Xiao Jingrui said angrily: "I don't understand what the party struggle is all about. I only know that in life, one must distinguish between black and white, right and wrong. Could it be that Dad really wants to let Tianquan Villa, a treasured sword passed down from generation to generation, , stained with the blood of innocents?"

"you."

Zhuo Ding wanted to hit someone aggressively, but Zhuo Qingyao held him back.

"Jingrui, what your father and I have planned is all for the future of Xie Zhuo's two schools. I usually do not want you to be involved because of my arrogance. If your father finds out about the matter, even I can't protect you, do you understand?"

Although he was angry, he also knew that Xiao Jingrui was really thinking about them, but he felt that the child's thinking was too simple and easily misled, so he didn't want Xiao Jingrui to know too much.

Xiao Jingrui, who had been scolded by Zhuo Dingfeng, had flushed eyes. He just felt that what his father and brother did was not a gentleman's work, but facing Zhuo Dingfeng's reprimand, he was filial and couldn't refute it. He could only give birth to himself. angry.

…………

After Zhou Chen left the assassination scene, he asked Zhen Ping to replace him, and then he went back to the Su residence and found Mei Changsu.

"Today, Shen Zhui was assassinated, and I stopped him."

Mei Changsu was warming himself up by the fire. Hearing this, he rubbed his hands together: "Who was the assassin, you should have some judgment, right?"

"Well, Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao and his son from Tianquan Villa."

"Sure enough, it's them. That's right. Zhen Ping selected the masters recruited by the Zhuo family. Now Xie Yu only has the Zhuo family and his son available under him, so he can only send them."

Zhou Chen said, "Well, I injured Zhuo Qingyao, but for Jingrui's sake, it wasn't too heavy a blow."

"Well, you are right. Zhuo's father and son cannot die. In fact, they were only used by Xie Yu. They are from different camps. It is not a serious crime, and they will be of great use in the future."

Mei Changsu sighed softly: "Ningguo Marquis Xie Yu is indeed a person who is good at disguising, the Zhuo family father and son are completely manipulated by him, fortunately neither Jing Rui nor Xie Bi are like him."

Zhou Chen said: "I guess Xie Yu won't give up willingly, and it's very likely that he will take action at night."

Mei Changsu sneered and said, "That's natural, who is Xie Yu, how could he be willing, although Zhuo Dingfeng is the only one available now, but with his cruel heart, in order to achieve his goal, he doesn't care whether Zhuo Dingfeng Something will happen."

"Jingyan will definitely be on guard in the future, you can go over and see, if Zhuo Dingfeng really goes and is in a desperate situation, then help him."

Zhuo Dingfeng is of great use, of course he will not let Zhuo Dingfeng fall into Shen Zhui's mansion.

"I know what to do, but I have another thing to tell you."

Mei Changsu asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Chen said: "It's about the prince's private cannon workshop. I have been following Shen Zhui these days and know the investigation results of this matter clearly. I guess it will be revealed soon, but it is just a private cannon workshop. Although it is illegal , but even if it is revealed that the prince is implicated, that old thing will not really punish the prince severely;

I know that you are going to use this private cannon shop to make Yu Wang attack the prince. This is indeed a way. Yu Wang will not let go of this opportunity, but this person is ruthless, and he will probably use this private cannon shop to create a big thunderstorm. , forcing the old man to punish the prince. "

Mei Changsu's expression suddenly became serious. He was going to tell King Yu about this, and then let King Yu use the private cannon shop to attack the prince, let them bite the dog, and buy time for Prince Jing's development.

But now hearing Zhou Chen say this, he felt very reasonable: "What do you mean?"

"There are still a lot of black flames hidden in the private cannon workshop. You say, what will happen if King Yu sends someone to detonate all the black flames in order to expand the influence of this matter?"

Mei Changsu stood up from his seat in shock: "Detonate the black fire?"

"Yes, the number of remaining black fires in the private cannon workshop is huge. If it is detonated, it will definitely spread to a large area around the private cannon workshop. There are many residential buildings around the private cannon workshop, and the flow of people is not small. Once The casualties caused by the detonation are absolutely horrifying, and it is not a problem to cause a sensation in the whole capital."

Zhou Chen said slowly, the reason why he said this was naturally to stop Yu Wang's crazy behavior and prevent innocent people from suffering.

Mei Changsu's back was soaked in sweat, and he couldn't help coughing suddenly. Zhou Chen saw it and hurried over to support his body.

"Calm down, your body can't get too emotional, it hasn't happened yet."

Mei Changsu calmed down after being punched by Zhou Chen, but he still felt his whole body go limp. With Zhou Chen's support, he sat down slowly.

"You're right. Prince Yu's temperament is very similar to today's. If you really tell him, the situation you worry about will most likely happen. They don't care about the deaths of ordinary people at all. If some people die, If he can help him deal with the prince, or even bring down the prince, he will definitely not hesitate."

"You're so right, you can't tell King Yu about this."

Zhou Chen signaled Mei Changsu to calm down: "Actually, you can still tell, but if you don't want to cause casualties, we can do a trick and exchange the black fire from the private artillery workshop, leaving only a small part. In this way, even if King Yu wants to play tricks, the impact will not be too great."

Mei Changsu said in a deep voice: "There are also many innocent people in the private cannon workshop. I have to think about it before making a decision."

Zhou Chen said: "I guess Shen Zhui has already started writing the memorial. We don't have much time left. If you really can't bear it, you can give up this opportunity. The crown prince's biggest supporter is Xie Yu. As long as we can get rid of him soon." Xie Yu, the crown prince is nothing to worry about."

Mei Changsu didn't make a decision right away, and still said he would think it over again.

Zhou Chen didn't urge him either, and after taking dinner, he left Su's mansion and went to Shen Zhui's mansion again. He felt that Zhuo Dingfeng would definitely choose to do it tonight.

Shen Zhui's room was indeed a trap, waiting for the assassin to come up.

Zhuo Dingfeng did not disappoint them either. At Zishimo, he sneaked into Shen Zhui's mansion in black clothes, and went straight to Shen Zhui's room.

But he had just arrived at the door, and before he had time to push the door, several spears pierced out from the house. The spears were like dragons, forcing him to retreat intelligently, and then he was surrounded by ambushing archers and soldiers.

Zhuo Dingfeng knew he was tricked, and also knew that tonight's assassination had failed, and now he just wanted to escape quickly, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all, so he shot arrows quickly.

Zhuo Dingfeng's strength is still very strong. Facing the rain of arrows, he kept waving his long sword, defending impenetrably, and then facing the soldiers who rushed up, he had no desire to attack, and was still defending, and he looked for an opportunity to retreat from the corner of his eye .

Zhou Chen had been watching in the dark, knowing that he saw Zhuo Dingfeng rushing out of the siege and leaping away from the Shen residence, so he was relieved.
