If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 15: I, Ding Xiu, have a ceiling in combat power, and I am bold in my skills.

Before Ding Xiu and the others returned to the capital, the news had already spread in the capital, causing an uproar among the government and the public.

"What? Wei Zhongxian was killed on the way?"

"It is said that the Donglin Party did it..."

"The emperor arranged for Eunuch Wei to go to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum. I'm afraid he had already planned to attend the Donglin party meeting..."

"You don't want to live anymore? How dare you say such nonsense?"

"Watch the show, the eunuchs will definitely take revenge, and the capital will be in chaos again..."

Zhao Jingzhong naturally also received the news.

In this regard, his mood is quite complicated.But overall, it was a huge sigh of relief.

Wei Zhongxian is always a huge threat to him when he is alive, and he may be involved at any time.Moreover, it also affects his status in Dongchang.

As long as Wei Zhongxian doesn't die, he will live in his shadow, and his heart will never be at ease.

Now, no matter who killed Wei Zhongxian, his wish has finally come true.

But he also had to face a problem. Wei Zhongxian left too many party members in Beijing. If he wanted to win over these people for his own use, he would have to go head-on with the Donglin Party.

Today is different from the past. The emperor has promoted many Donglin Party members to important positions. For example, Han Kuang, a scholar in the cabinet, is now the chief assistant of the cabinet, equivalent to the head of a hundred officials.

Even Dongchang didn't dare to act rashly.

Although Han Kuang is not a Donglin Party member, he is closely related to the Donglin Party and has always hated the Eunuch Party.

If there is a fight with the Donglin Party at this time, Zhao Jingzhong believes that he will lose in the end.

But Wei Zhongxian died, and the news came that he died in retaliation from the Donglin Party. If he did nothing, how could he establish his prestige?
This is a big headache.

"Eunuch..."

One of his men came in.

"Any news?"

"Eunuch, according to the spies' report, the four imperial guards may arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow..." Zhao Jingzhong tapped the table lightly and murmured: "I asked them to rush after Wei Zhongxian, but in the end, the old guy entered the Jiangnan realm..."

"Eunuch, my little suspicion is that they deliberately delayed time and then used the Donglin Party to kill Eunuch Wei."

Hearing this, Zhao Jingzhong pondered for a while and couldn't help laughing at himself: "It's really possible when you say that, I underestimated their brains.

The governor originally thought that they were just a few little ants who were eager to make meritorious deeds and would go all out to kill Wei Zhongxian.

Unexpectedly, he dared to play tricks with the governor...could it be said that they had guessed the hidden secret? "

The subordinates couldn't help but flatter him: "My father-in-law is so clever and clever, how can a few brave warriors guess it?

From a young point of view, they must not be sure to kill Eunuch Wei. After all, Eunuch Wei has hundreds of master guards around him.

That's why they followed him all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, and then used the Donglin Party to ambush Eunuch Wei. "

"Well, that makes sense..." Zhao Jingzhong nodded: "In this way, they have barely completed the task. Even if they have no merit, they have no fault."

"Then after they return to Beijing..."

"Go back to Beijing?" Zhao Jingzhong smiled coldly: "I think it's not necessary."

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then understood in his mind, he cupped his hands and said: "I understand, I will arrange the manpower now."

"Remember, it must be done cleanly and without leaving any clues."

"Yes, father-in-law!"

The men responded and left.

……

afternoon.

The four of them, Ding Xiu and others, rode on horseback in a leisurely manner. They were not far from the capital anyway.

"Help!"

Suddenly, a beautiful woman rushed out of the woods not far ahead. Her hair was messy and her clothes were torn, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin.

Judging from her attire, she must be that of a village girl from nearby. She is pretty, plump and has a rather sultry charm.

Could it be that this battle was due to the misfortune of encountering a bad person with the intention of...

"Little lady, let's see where you can run."

Sure enough, the bad guy showed up.

Two bandit-looking men carrying knives chased them out of the forest.

"Help!"

When the woman saw someone in front of her, she couldn't help but stumbled over.

Ding Xiu frowned, then reined in his horse and jumped off to face the woman. "Heroes help me..."

The woman quickened her pace and threw herself into Ding Xiu's arms, feeling a warm and fragrant kiss in her arms.

"Little lady, what's going on? Are they bullying you?"

Ding Xiu hugged the woman tightly and asked softly.

A hero saving a beauty will surely become a legend!
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The woman cried in Ding Xiu's arms: "They killed my husband, and they want to...uuuuuuu..."

"Little lady, you are lucky."

When the two men saw that there were four people in Ding Xiu's group, and all of them were carrying knives, they had no choice but to turn around and run back into the woods.

At this time, Ding Xiu showed a meaningful smile and said to the woman: "Little lady, I saved you, how are you going to repay me?"

"what?"

The woman was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect there to be such realistic people in the world.

Is it possible that he just escaped from the tiger's claws and fell into the wolf's den again?

"I never save people in vain, either give me 100 taels of silver, or..."

While talking, Ding Xiu actually tore open the woman's clothes, revealing the silk clothes underneath.

"what!"

The woman screamed and subconsciously wanted to break away from Ding Xiu's arms.

At this time, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan looked at Ding Xiu with shocked eyes.

In their eyes, although Ding Xiu was a little greedy and acted a little casually, he wouldn't be so crazy to bully a weak woman, right?

"Little lady, you want to escape now? It's too late."

Ding Xiu showed a wicked smile and grabbed the woman's height with one hand.

"Brother Ding..."

Lu Jianxing couldn't stand it anymore and was about to stop.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the woman took out a lancet about a foot long from somewhere and slashed Ding Xiu's neck.

Looking at her fast, accurate and ruthless movements, how could she still look like a weak woman?Rather like a professional killer.

Ding Xiu seemed to be too lazy to hide, and just looked at the woman coldly.

"puff!"

When the knife was halfway out, the woman's hand dropped limply as if she suddenly lost strength.

A short knife was inserted into her back at some point.

"For...why..."

Obviously, this woman was unwilling to give up and asked with difficulty.

Ding Xiu said with a mocking look on his face: "You have to pretend to be a young lady from a wealthy family. How can a village girl have such delicate skin and tender flesh like you?"

It was only then that Lu Jianxing and the others realized that this woman was probably a killer.

But before he could take action, Ding Xiu saw through it. Not only was he teased, but he was eventually killed.

"Just... just based on this?"

Obviously, the woman was a little unconvinced.

Don’t village girls have tender skin and tender meat?What if you are born beautiful?
"Please act more professionally from now on. You can't even act like one. Look at what you're wearing, tsk tsk, but it's precious silk..."

"Pfft~"

The woman vomited another mouthful of blood, and then a burst of boundless darkness came...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

At this moment, there was a dense sound, and more than a dozen arrows were shot out from the forest, hitting four people respectively.

Ding Xiu had already concentrated. In his eyes, the speed of these arrows was at least several times slower, just like a slow-down movie. It was easy to hide.

This is the benefit brought by having a far higher potential development than ordinary people. It is almost like a special function.

"You three be careful!"

Ding Xiu dodged the arrow while rushing into the forest.

No one in the forest?

That's just an excuse for cowardice.

I, Ding Xiu, have the ceiling of combat power, and I am brave as a skilled person.
