After waiting for a long time, Zheng Sheng slowly walked into the once magnificent mansion in front of him, but now it was like hell.

As he walked deeper into the mansion step by step, the smell of fresh blood rushed directly towards Zheng Sheng's face.

Feeling this uncomfortable aura, he couldn't help but frown, and at the same time, his eyes began to look around unconsciously.

At this moment, there was not a single living person in the mansion. Everywhere he looked were corpses lying in pools of blood, as well as streams of blood.

What a miserable sight!

Just when Zheng Sheng felt disgusted with the scene in front of him, a burst of rapid footsteps came from not far away.

The next moment, a soldier came directly in front of him and said, "Mr. Qi, we have found no trace of the target."

"What!"

Hearing the news reported by the soldier, Zheng Sheng was shocked. When he realized what he was doing, the expression on his face immediately darkened.

If he didn't kill the young master Ji Gen, even if he ordered to kill everyone in the entire mansion, what would be the point?

Thinking of this, the expression on Zheng Sheng's face became more and more ugly. He already had a premonition that something was not good.

However, Zheng Sheng did not give up hope. He yelled towards the front in a somewhat crazy manner: "Keep looking for me. I don't believe that a good living person can be lost. Even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must be recovered by me."

turn up."

"Here."

Feeling the anger in Zheng Sheng's words, the soldiers in front did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately turned around and continued searching.

It's just that these soldiers' long-term search did not achieve the desired results, and in the end they found nothing.

When the figures of the soldiers returned to Zheng Sheng, what they saw was a calm face full of anger.

"In a short period of time, even if Master Ji Gen can escape from the mansion, he will not be able to escape very far. Since there is no one in the mansion, he must still be in the city at this moment."

After making up his mind, he heard Zheng Sheng say in a deep voice to the soldiers below: "Seal the city gate and search carefully. I won't miss anything suspicious."

"Here."

…

Following Zheng Sheng's order, these soldiers, who were only operating in Ji Gen's mansion, began to shuttle between the streets in the city.

But what these soldiers didn't know was that while they were searching for Ji Gen, a faint gaze was also watching them.

Seeing a group of soldiers passing by his field of vision, he turned his sight away and a young man slowly closed the window in front of him.

If Zheng Sheng stood in front of this young man, he would definitely shout out in surprise, because this young man is none other than the youngest son of Ji Zao, Duke of Western Zhou Dynasty, Ji Gen, whom he is looking for.

After standing by the window for a while, Ji Gen gathered his thoughts, turned around and walked to another middle-aged man in the room.

The middle-aged man in front of him is one of his retainers, Su Shu.

Slowly sitting on the table opposite Su Shu, Ji Gen still had a frightened look on his face, "If it hadn't been for Mr.'s reminder, I'd be afraid that my head would be missing right now."

"Since the young master treats each other with courtesy, I should protect him well." Su Shu did not take Ji Gen's gratitude to heart, but said with a bit of a sigh: "Brother Wang, I am afraid that at this moment..."

The brother Wang that Su Shu mentioned was none other than the middle-aged man who just talked to Zheng Sheng in front of the mansion.

After Su Shu judged that Ji Chao might attack Ji Gen, Zheng Sheng had already led the soldiers in the direction of the mansion.

At such a critical moment, the prince brother took the initiative to block the incoming visitors as much as possible, and asked Su Shu to protect Ji Gen and leave through the tunnel in the mansion.

It can be said that it was precisely because of this brother Wang that Ji Gen and Su Shu were able to turn danger into danger and escape safely.

Listening to Su Shu mention the brother Wang who took the initiative to step forward in times of crisis, the lingering fear on Ji Gen's face immediately turned into full of grief and indignation.

"Ji Chao deceives people too much. It's useless for me to regard him as my brother. He is clearly planning to kill me!"

Su Shu looked at the young master in front of him and shook his head slightly with a bit of helplessness.

The battle for power and position has always been full of blood and has always ignored family ties.

If you don't see, even an overlord like Duke Huan of Qi died miserably because of a struggle for power; if you don't see, even a great king like King Cheng of Chu died in the hands of his own son because of a struggle for power.

After a long silence, Su Shu looked at Ji Gen in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do next, Master?"

"The Captain of the East Gate was promoted by me. He has always been extremely loyal to me. We can leave the city through the East Gate when it is late at night."

As he spoke, Ji Gen's eyes slowly turned to the east, and a touch of determination suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Since Ji Chao dares to attack me, then I can't sit still and wait for death. Gongcheng in the east is the place left by my father-in-law. I

I want to build a kingdom that belongs to me, Jigen, there.”

As the words slowly fell in the room, Ji Gen's eyes gently moved to Su Shu, with a look of hope on his face.

Then Ji Gen bowed forward and invited from the bottom of his heart: "Sir, please give me a helping hand."

Seeing Ji Gen like this, Su Shu immediately stood up and helped him up with both hands, "Young master, you are serious."

"I think I, Su Shu, was once so poor that I couldn't even get a meal. It was the young master who took me into his residence at that time."

"Now that the young master is in need of talents, what reason does Su Shu have to leave the young master? He only wants to work together with the young master to overcome the difficulties."

After saying this, Su Shu immediately took half a step back and bowed to Ji Gen in front of him, "My lord, Su Shu, pays my respects to the young master."

After a few breaths, Su Shu slowly stood up and heard him say in a deep voice to Ji Gen: "Master Qi, I thought that although the master would occupy Gongcheng, Ji Chao is the eldest son of the emperor after all, and he controls the kingdom of Western Zhou.

Most of the strength."

"If we rely solely on the young master's strength, it would be almost impossible to compete with Ji Chao and defeat him."

Hearing what Su Shu said, a look of worry immediately appeared on Ji Gen's face. It was obvious that he also had a clear understanding of the balance of power between the two sides.

However, based on Ji Gen's understanding of Su Shu, since the other party mentioned this matter, he must have already had a solution.

Thinking of this, Ji Gen's eyes immediately looked forward, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, "Please teach me, sir."

Seeing Ji Gen like this, Su Shu nodded with some satisfaction, and then heard him say in a deep voice: "Since we can't compete with Ji Chao with the power of the young master, we can definitely rely on the power of other countries."

"What do you mean, sir?" Ji Gen asked with some confusion.

"South Korea." After spitting out a name, Su Shu said in a deep voice: "Everyone in the Zhou family knows that South Korea has coveted the land of my Zhou family for a long time, but it is just because there is no suitable opportunity."

"If the young master can send an envoy to Xinzheng, it will undoubtedly provide South Korea with an opportunity to intervene in my Zhou Dynasty. I think South Korea will happily agree."

"And what South Korea represents now is not just South Korea, but a behemoth behind it."
