I, make my own

Chapter 5
【Ding!You instigated the minions to successfully rob the important traitor who assassinated Emperor Zhou, the rebellion point +150]

On a bell tower five miles away from the imperial palace, Zhou Xin glanced at the 750 rebellion points, and then continued to look at the neighboring street half a mile apart.

On that street, eight hundred elite Jingan guards were escorting a luxurious chariot to move forward at a fast speed. Pedestrians on the street were restricted to both sides and prohibited from passing.

At a certain moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in Jing'anwei's team, which seemed to be internal strife, and at the same time, there was billowing of poisonous smoke.

At the same time, thick and dense crossbow arrows suddenly shot out from the attics on both sides of the street, aiming directly at the chariot that was surrounded by groups of guards.

In the critical moment, there were Jing'an guards who used their bodies to stop them one after another, but those crossbow arrows were obviously extraordinary, even the well-protected chariots had many holes shot out, not to mention the flesh and blood.

For a while, there were screams again and again, and the roar of "Protect Your Majesty" was also endless.

However, Jinganwei's traitors blocked the front and rear reinforcements, and the Jinganwei in the middle did not dare to attack rashly and could only defend passively.

At this time, dense rain of arrows began to pour down from the roofs on both sides of the street, and at the same time, sturdy figures rushed out, heading straight for the chariot.

Zhou Xin, who had a panoramic view of all this, smiled coldly, with a mocking smile on his lips.

"Zhou Lan...hehe, you have to take over the next script, don't let me down..."

"Let's go."

……

In a high-rise restaurant not far from the battle, Zhou Lan stared blankly at the battlefield.

Although he didn't show emotion, his squinted eyes and clenched fists under the sleeves still betrayed his mood.

Seeing Zhu Gaoyang and Zhao Dongchang leading the masters to the core of the battlefield, Zhou Lan's nose even seeped a few drops of fine sweat.

Jinganwei's elite combat power and tacit understanding of cooperation are stronger than he expected!
At this moment, the carriage of the chariot was finally torn apart under heavy onslaught.

Zhou Lan's eyes brightened instantly, and there was a touch of excitement in his eyes.

However, this excitement soon froze and was replaced by bewilderment and anger.

Because there was not even a ghost in that spacious carriage, let alone a person!
"What's going on? Where are people?!"

Zhou Lan shouted angrily, and a hole was punched out of the agarwood wood desk.

"My lord, is it possible that the puppet emperor was worried about being assassinated again, so he built the plank road openly and kept the old warehouse in secret?"

Cheng Hai also looked gloomy, and replied in a low voice.

At this moment, a figure rushed in from the outside.

"Report to the prince! Someone sent a secret letter!"

"roll!"

Zhou Lanhong yelled angrily, making the man tremble in fright.

Cheng Hai was quite calm. After receiving the secret letter from the man, he waved his hand to make him retreat.

After reading the contents of the secret letter, Cheng Hai's pupils shrank instantly.

"My lord! The secret letter said: Emperor Zhou is crossing the sea without telling the truth, and is turning around the palace along Xuanwu Street. He is expected to arrive within two quarters of an hour. The specific guards are unknown. I would like to honor his trace. If you are not sure, don't act impulsively."

Zhou Lan froze, then quickly turned around and stared at Cheng Hai.

"Who can know his whereabouts? Is there a signature?"

"Have."

Cheng Hai nodded slowly, and said with complicated eyes: "Young Master Yan..."

"Master Yan? It's him again?!"

Zhou Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression fluctuating.

After a few breaths, Zhou Lan's eyes sharpened sharply, and he stared at the old man who had been standing silently in the corner.

"Qianbo, the time is too short, and it's too late to mobilize people to hunt. Now I can only help you personally!"

Hearing this, Cheng Hai's face suddenly changed.

"My lord, everyone knows the identity of Mr. Qian. Even if Mr. Qian succeeds, if there are witnesses to see it, there will be endless troubles! Moreover, I always feel that the behavior of the puppet emperor is a bit strange. ..."

However, before Cheng Hai could finish speaking, Zhou Lan interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"He is a weak puppet. Without Jing'an Guard, there are only a few servants and imperial guards. Besides, where are the master guards? Even if there are, what can they do? Is it possible to stop him The humble uncle of the ninth rank?"

"As for the witnesses, how can a mere disguise make it hard for Qianbo? At worst, kill everyone who can see it!"

"Himbo, please!"

The old man called Qian Bo just nodded silently, then turned and left.

Cheng Hai opened his mouth, but in the end he could only let out a helpless sigh.

……

Xuanwu Street, three miles away from the imperial palace.

【Ding!If you reveal the whereabouts of Emperor Zhou to Great Zhou Weiwang, you may put Emperor Zhou in danger, rebellion point +150]

Hearing the system prompt, Zhou Xin's mouth curled up slightly, and his footsteps became more brisk.

My own wool is good, so I can squeeze it however I want...

After a cup of tea, a ghostly figure descended from the sky across the wall and stepped on the house, just blocking Zhou Xin and the others thirty steps away.

Facing this unscrupulous and hostile demeanor of a strong man, the passers-by on the street were stunned at first, and then fled in all directions with pale faces, leaving the spacious street out of the way.

In a short time, only the figure in the cloak and Zhou Xin and his party were left on the street within sight.

It has to be said that although the opponent's appearance was extremely ostentatious, the effect was good, at least avoiding the possibility of Zhou Xin fleeing among the chaotic crowd.

"Borrow your head and use it!"

The person who came didn't talk nonsense, Cang Sheng shouted coldly while the long sword in his hand shook rapidly, causing twelve pale golden sword lights to hit Zhou Xin directly.

With the appearance of these sword lights, the surrounding pressure suddenly increased six or seven times, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a sharp and skin-breaking aura of gold.

【Ding!Because of the information you provided, Emperor Zhou was assassinated again, rebellion point +400]

Zhou Xin grinned and spoke calmly.

"Leave him, life or death!"

"only!"

Leng Yun respectfully responded, and at the same time raised his palm and patted forward.

In an instant, a circular ice shield the size of a millstone emerged, turning quickly to block all the incoming sword lights.

When the two clashed, the golden sword light and the light blue ice shield collided with dazzling flames, and black scorched marks appeared on the ice shield, but the ice shield remained firm and unbroken.

On the opposite side, the cloaked man froze, as if hesitating a little, not knowing whether to continue or run away.

And it was this slight hesitation that completely ruined the possibility of his escape.

The cold cloud moved like the wind, and while rushing towards the cloaked man, he pulled out the soft whip hidden in his waist.

The whip moves like a snake, twenty or thirty snow-white shadows appear in the air, and then there is a scene of snakes vying for their bite.

The cloaked man's scalp tightened, and he fought back with his sword light while backing up again and again.

However, the "snake shadows" were dense and extremely flexible, and the cloaked man was finally hit by three snow-white "snake shadows" in the chest and legs.

When the cloaked man forcibly suppressed the frozen air in his body, a pair of indifferent and disdainful narrow eyes appeared before his eyes, and then he lost consciousness.

"Your Majesty, the assassin has been captured alive!"

Leng Yun brought the unconscious assassin to Zhou Xin, took off the assassin's cloak, and wiped off the human skin mask on the opponent's face.

"Huang Qian..."

While Zhou Xin murmured softly, the precious saber popped out of its sheath.

Naturally, he already knew the other party's name and Huang Qian's identity, but obviously he couldn't reveal it.

Swish!
puff!

With two soft bangs almost simultaneously, Huang Qian's neck was ruthlessly wiped off.

"Since we already know his identity, it doesn't matter whether he is dead or alive."

Zhou Xin said with a blank face, and he never felt uncomfortable about killing people. Maybe it's because Yuan's experience and actions have subconsciously made him used to it.

……

Royal Palace.

As news of the emperor's assassination spread back to the palace, most of the palace was quite restless.

The generals of the Imperial Army were talking a lot. They didn't know what was going on with the General of the Imperial Army. They only knew that when the emperor was in crisis, the Imperial Army who were in charge of guarding him were not by his side, and they did not take any action for a long time.

This made many forbidden soldiers feel resentful towards the generals. They are not the army of the vassal kings. As the emperor's forbidden army, protecting the emperor is their highest mission and honor!

As for the existence of those in the harem, some of them have nothing to do with themselves, some look at jokes with a cold eye, some are not surprised but happy, and some have inexplicable worries.

Promise Hall.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Knowing the emperor's return, more than a dozen full-time servants and maids in the government hall rushed out and knelt in two rows on both sides to welcome him.

Zhou Xin paused, staring at the kneeling crowd on both sides with cold eyes.

"The news of my leaving the palace today is known only to you, apart from the Chief Jing'an and Si Cheng. Who can tell me how the assassins found out about my whereabouts?"

All the maids in the palace trembled suddenly, and their hearts filled with infinite panic.

"Cold cloud!"

"exist!"

"Take them down and find the leaker!"

"only!"

With a big wave of Leng Yun's hand, half of the more than thirty people behind him were immediately divided, and all the kneeling servants and court ladies were controlled.

As for the other half, they followed Zhou Xin into the Promise Hall.

These people are naturally members of the Sutra Protector Hall. If Zhou Xin wants to truly rise to power, the first step is to ensure the cleanliness and loyalty of those around him.

Half an hour later, Han Shang, the chief servant, arrived, and behind him were a dozen or so master servants escorting five people.

"Report to Your Majesty, the poisoner and the mastermind behind the scenes have been identified!"

On the throne, Zhou Xin raised his head and glanced at the five people who were bound and imprisoned, and then let out a soft voice from behind.

"Who is the main messenger?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the main emissary is Lin Zilang, deputy supervisor of Shangshan in the Imperial Dining Room. However, Lin Zilang committed suicide in fear of crime and was not captured alive."

Han Shang responded quickly, feeling quite uneasy.

Because these newcomers to Wuji Temple seem very unusual, where did the new emperor find them?

"Deputy Supervisor Shang Shan, heh..."

Zhou Xin sneered and glared at Han Shang badly.

"Director Han, can you treat me like a three-year-old child? How can a mere deputy supervisor have the guts to poison me?"

Han Shang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I don't dare! Your Majesty, Lin Zilang's identity is not simple, he seems to belong to a certain feudal lord. It's just that time is too tight, and my servant has not yet found out..."

"It seems? Heh, do you think you can get away with just finding an unfounded name?"

Zhou Xin refused to listen, and waved his hands with a cold face.

"As I said, if you can't find the real mastermind before nightfall today, you don't need to be the chief servant."

"Cold cloud!"

"exist!"

Leng Yun clasped his hands, with a white dust whisk between his elbows, and stepped out quickly.

"From now on, you will take over the position of chief servant. In addition, take Han Shang down and find out his involvement in the poisoning case!"

"only!"

Leng Yun's eyes lit up, and he responded respectfully.

When Han Shang's heart was cold, he jumped up suddenly, lost his mind, and glared at Zhou Xin angrily.

"Your Majesty! Do you know what you are doing? You don't have the right to accuse you of crimes and dismiss you from slavery!"
