Chapter 45 Entering the palace to meet the saint and being entrusted with important tasks (third update)

People in the world often say that an inch long is an inch strong.

Zhao Jingzhong took advantage of the spear and started attacking as soon as he took action, stabbing, chopping, sweeping, picking, crossing, dragging... one move after another, hoping to kill Ding Xiu immediately.

Ding Xiu's Miao Dao is not short either, but it pales in comparison to the spear.

However, Jianghu talk is Jianghu talk, and martial arts competitions are not about comparing whose guy is longer.

In that case, wouldn't it be impossible to use fists and kicks, and everyone would walk around the world carrying an eight-foot-long sword?

"call!"

Zhao Jingzhong came forward with another thrust.

This time, Ding Xiu did not dodge or dodge, and blocked the fierce spear tip with his knife.

"clang!"

The blade made a long trembling sound, and the collision of power made Ding Xiu's body sway slightly.

But Zhao Jingzhong was so shocked that he took a step back, his arms were sore and numb, and he was horrified in his heart.

"Now, is it my turn?"

Ding Xiu shouted loudly, and slashed forward with a knife in both hands.

Zhao Jingzhong quickly raised his gun to resist.

"Clang clang clang..."

Next, there was a sound like iron being struck.

Zhao Jingzhong lost all his advantages and was completely in a passive defensive state. While retreating, he kept blocking Ding Xiu's attacks with his swords.

This is completely a kind of suppression of power.

When it comes to Zhao Jingzhong's strength, he has always been very confident. He believes that no one in Dongchang or even Jinyiwei can be his opponent.

In the past, maybe this was true.

Shen Lian's strength is considered to be top-notch among the Jinyi Guards, but against Zhao Jingzhong, he may not even have a three-point chance of winning.

The arrival of Ding Xiu changed everything.

Last time in the village of Sichengfang, although Zhao Jingzhong carefully arranged an assassination operation, the assassin he hired was also a top-notch person.

But this guy was still worried after all. In order to ensure that Ding Xiu was killed, he took action personally and hid in the dark to attack Ding Xiu.

Unexpectedly, the shot he thought would kill him actually missed.

It was that time that Zhao Jingzhong finally began to face up to Ding Xiu's strength.

Unexpectedly, when he gave it a try this time, he discovered that he still underestimated his opponent and was beaten to the point where he was almost unable to fight back. His arms were sore and numb. If he continued like this, he might not even be able to hold the spear steadily.

"kill!"

Zhao Jingzhong suddenly roared, and the long spear split into two, turning into two short spears. Holding one in each hand, he rushed towards Ding Xiu with blood-red eyes.

This time, it was a desperate fight.

After finally escaping from the border, Zhao Jingzhong was of course not willing to fail. In this situation, either you die or I die!
"boom!"

In the end, his all-out move turned out to be a joke.

Ding Xiu quickly dodged to one side and kicked Zhao Jingzhong until he vomited blood and fell heavily to the ground, making him dizzy.

Just as he was about to struggle to stand up, a knife was struck from the air.

A bunch of blood flowers bloomed in front of Zhao Jingzhong's eyes, reflecting the clouds in the sky.

His eyes glanced hard in the direction of his hometown, his lips moved, and he didn't know what to say.

Ding Xiu only heard one word clearly: Mother!

Perhaps, this was Zhao Jingzhong's remorse before his death. If he had known this, he would have been better off living an ordinary life in his hometown, why would he bother to enter the palace and become a neither-male nor female eunuch.

On the other side, Shen Lian's battle also ended at almost the same time.

Although Zhao Jingzhong's three men were very skilled, they were still not good enough against Shen Lian.

After Zhao Jingzhong is solved, the next thing will be easier.

Two days later, the three Li Chengxiu brothers rushed to the agreed valley one after another. Although they were protected by guards, how could they be Ding Xiu and Shen Lian's opponents?

In the end, the three brothers were captured alive.

... a month later.

Under the leadership of a eunuch, Ding Xiu and Shen Lian entered the palace together.

This is the first time Ding Xiu has entered the palace. Although he spent money to buy tickets to visit the palace in his previous life, the feeling now is completely different.

One is a historical landscape, and the other is a daunting imperial city, where the emperor lives and handles world affairs.

Looking around, it can be described as majestic and spectacular.

The large and small houses, courtyards and palaces are scattered in an orderly manner, with carved beams and painted buildings, like an unfolding three-dimensional picture.

From time to time, a group of solemn-looking guards could be seen patrolling the palace, as well as all kinds of eunuchs and maids traveling back and forth.

The palace is very large and the terrain is complex, like a maze.

After walking around for a long time, the eunuch finally stopped, raised his hand and pointed: "My lords, Wenyuan Pavilion has arrived, and the chief assistant is waiting for you."

"Thank you, Eunuch!"

Ding Xiu and Shen Lian entered the palace this time in response to the call of Han Kuang, the chief minister of the cabinet, to come to discuss matters.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the palace, an official came forward to greet them. After checking their waistbands, he raised his hands and said, "My lords, please follow me."

After arriving at the inner hall, the official stood outside the door and said respectfully: "Master Chief Assistant, Shen Lian and Ding Qi from the [-] households in Fusi, Beizhen have arrived."

"Well, let them in."

"Yes!" the official responded, and raised his hand again: "My lords, please!"

"Thank you!"

The two of them cupped their hands and walked in together.

"Shen Lian, a humble job!"

"Humble Ding Xiu!"

"See Mr. Chief Assistant!"

Han Kuang smiled, walked up to the two of them, turned around, bowed slightly and bowed his hands.

Seeing this, Ding Xiu and Shen Lian couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, a young man in a brocade robe walked out from behind the screen with his hands behind his back.

Shen Lian couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly raised his hands in greeting: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

The man in brocade robes who walked out from behind the screen was none other than the former King Xin, now the Emperor: Emperor Chongzhen!
"Weichen see the emperor!"

Ding Xiu also followed and bowed.

If Ding Baiying were here, he might get mad and kill without hesitation. After all, the opportunity is too rare, so revenge first.

But Ding Xiu would not be so stupid.

Even though there were only a few people in the room, maybe as soon as he made a move, countless guards would rush out and kill him with random arrows.

What's more, his goal is to change the dynasty, not as simple as assassinating the emperor.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded at the two of them and said with a pleased look on his face: "You two not only arrested many of Hou Jin's craftsmen, but also prevented Li Yongfang, Zhao Jingzhong and other rebels from defecting to Hou Jin. I have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.

I asked University Scholar Han to summon the two of them to the palace because I want to entrust them with the important task of cleaning up the traitors in the DPRK for me, continue to arrest Hou Jin Xizuo, and destroy their secret stronghold..."

Hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, Ding Xiu couldn't help but feel happy.

In this way, he can clean up the eight profiteers headed by the Fan family.

When the emperor finished speaking, Han Kuang couldn't help but glance at Shen Lian and Ding Xiu and smiled: "This is the emperor's trust in you two. Why don't you thank me quickly?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

The two bowed to each other again.

"Well, Academician Han will communicate with you two about specific matters. If you have any good ideas and suggestions, you can also directly submit them to Academician Han for discussion."

After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the palace.

"The humble minister sends the emperor respectfully!"
