Chapter 66 Attacked in the middle of the night
In the private room on the first floor of Wangyue Restaurant, Zhou Xiang and Wan Yangxi were sitting opposite each other. Two of the several jars of Jasper wine on the table were now empty, and half of the dishes on the table had been eaten!
Wan Yangxi said: "Cousin, your restaurant is really good. There are so many ways to make this dancing chicken? The one called flower chicken, and the one called nibbling chicken drumsticks, they are really unique!"
Zhou Xiang replied proudly: "Yes, it tasted delicious today. I will take you to the second floor in a few days and you will know. Not only is it delicious, but it also looks good!"
Wan Yangxi is a little confused, why does a restaurant need to look good?
Still replied, "Really? Then I need to see it. No, cousin, please stop pouring me wine, I'm even dizzy!"
Zhou Xiang said in a lecturing tone: "How can a man say no? You are already 16 years old. Show some manliness and don't be the same girly girl as before!"
Wan Yangxi was stimulated by Zhou Xiang and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, cousin, I did it. You said that back then, I was so angry that you always beat me!"
Zhou Xiang also recalled that the young Zhou Xiang did beat him often!
Little Zhou Xiang could not practice martial arts and was very arrogant, but this younger brother was identified as having a high level of talent in martial arts. So, while Wan Yangxi had just started practicing martial arts, he was two years older and could beat him.
Bullying his cousin!
Zhou Xiang saw that Wan Yangxi was a little drunk and asked, "What about now? How is this cousin doing now?"
"My mother said she wanted me to come to Wuhai City to avoid the limelight. I was not willing to fight to death because I was just afraid of you. But now that I'm here, I'm willing to risk it all. Hehe, the key is that I'm already at the third level and you can't beat me.
..."
Zhou Xiang saw that he was well organized and knew that he was still close, so he said: "Don't just talk, we are men and let's drink from a bowl. This way we can have more fun talking!"
Wan Yangxi seemed to be willing to go all out and said: "Okay, cousin, I will do what you say, I will do it!"
"What did you just say, avoid the limelight?"
"Yes, uh, yes! Cousin, uh, my life has been miserable these past two years!"
Zhou Xiang saw the kid's state and knew that he was almost drunk. Let's start the trading!
"Cousin, let's do it again, one more time. I've never had such a good time like this!"
"Okay, stop drinking. Drinking too much will harm your health. Let's talk slowly!"
"Then, okay, let me talk to you!"
Zhou Xiang stopped letting Wan Yangxi drink and started talking with a smile.
Looking at Wan Yangxi who was staring in fascination, with confused eyes, answering every question, Zhou Xiang sighed, how come he grew up in the palace, how come he didn't have the taste for snacks, and was knocked down by the wine instead!
Two hours later, it was already dark. Zhou Xiang looked at Wan Yangxi who was finally lying on the table. He had touched his cheap cousin all over!
It’s not that Wan Yangxi is careless, it’s because his mother trusts Zhou Chengshan as her brother, he also respects Zhou Chengshan as his uncle, and he also regards Zhou Xiang as one of his own!
Zhou Xiang's aunt was originally just a noble person in the palace. She was helpless in the palace, but on a stormy night...
After having the prince Wan Yangxi, she became a noble concubine. However, Wan Yangxi was ranked as the third prince. She had a good name, but her situation did not change much. She was always rejected by the queen in the palace, which was a bit miserable!
Zhou Chengshan couldn't bear it, so he let his mother and son take part in any business, and he didn't forget to help outside with the management. Only then did he get some support from the courtiers, and the life of the two of them became easier!
Therefore, the two families are even closer, and Concubine Zhou will send Wan Yangxi to the Zhou family if nothing happens!
It’s just that since Zhou Xiang was robbed, he rarely comes here, mainly because he is afraid that Huang Yulian will miss Zhou Xiang after seeing Wan Yangxi!
Wan Yangxi has a happy-go-lucky personality and lives a carefree life. But since the prince was seriously injured and the second prince was stabbed to death,
He, the third prince, began to live in endless troubles!
All eyes were fixed on him, the emperor and courtiers looked and inquired;
The flattery of wealthy merchants, the flattery of eunuchs and maids;
The whispers behind the backs of the eunuchs and maids in the palace, the cold and vicious glances of the prince and queen;
And his mother Zhou Guifei’s desire for her son to become a dragon!
All these things had to make him nervous and cautious, not daring to make mistakes. He had to put on a gentle coat every day and pretend to be smart and heroic!
When I came to Wuhai City this time, I was indeed ordered by Concubine Zhou to take refuge in Wuhai City.
People from the prince's family have recently spread rumors that the prince was seriously injured after being assassinated and has not recovered for half a year. This is because the third prince stole his energy. The third prince had evil intentions and wanted to be the prince, thus robbing the prince of his luck!
The rumors became more and more intense, and the emperor seemed to have heard about it. As a last resort, it was Zhou Chengshan who came up with this retreat-to-advance plan!
Aren’t you saying that the third prince is trying to grab his luck and is forming a gang in the capital to become the prince? Then it’s all right if the third prince is gone!
In this way, you can not only stop the crowd, but also gain the appreciation of the emperor!
But Zhou Xiang felt that it was not that simple! Then he shook his head and thought of Mr. Wen again.
He comes from the school of study that was the first to fall in love with the third prince after the prince was seriously injured in an assassination! His official position is Wan Yangxi's tutor. If the palace is established, he will play the role of butler!
Seeing that it was getting late and Wan Yangxi looked like he was going to be drunk all night, Zhou Xiang called Lin Feng and other guards and carried Wan Yangxi towards his home!
Not far away, the group of people walked slowly towards home without riding horses.
It's not curfew time yet, but the street is dark and there are few pedestrians. Many shops along the street have been closed. There are only sporadic shops with dim butter lamps.
Zhou Xiang walked forward without saying a word, but most of his consciousness sank into the slave mark.
"Zhou Xiang, the great elder taught me a spell again today. This spell is very difficult to learn. I'm already at the sixth level, but I've just reached the threshold of learning!"
"Oh, attack spell?"
"It's defensive. It forms a protective shield to defend itself. It's called the spiritual seal mirror platform. The spiritual energy is distributed from the sea of consciousness to the feet, and a mirror-like protective film is formed on the outside of the body. It can withstand attacks and has a counter-injury effect!"
"Really? Then you have to practice hard. Protecting yourself is the most important thing!"
"But I want to practice attack magic, the kind of magic that kills people invisible!"
"Stop dreaming and take it step by step. Bai Longma is not a hero. Why are you killing people invisible?"
"Those cruel orcs who don't like it kill each other silently on sight. No one knows yet, hehe, but the great elder said that you need at least the eighth level to learn that kind of magic!"
"Then you hurry up and level up, and you can teach me when the time comes!"
"Okay, let me wait for this heroine to teach you..."
While Zhou Xiang was chatting, his consciousness suddenly withdrew from the slave mark, and his body began to become irritable!
In just a moment, his heartbeat began to accelerate, the blood in his body began to flow wildly, his whole body began to tremble, and he fell backward involuntarily!
"Master!" shouted loudly, but before Zhou Xiang fell to the ground, he was caught by Lin Feng!
Zhou Xiang felt short of breath and wanted to speak but couldn't. The spiritual energy in his body also started to riot. The blood jade energy was rushing around throughout his body, as if it was going to destroy his body.
The heart channel receives the most collisions, and the collisions become more and more severe, but there is always a layer of invisible Qi protecting it, and no matter how the blood jade Qi collides, it cannot break through!
But within the sea of consciousness, there seems to be an invisible restraint. Whenever the spiritual energy hits the internal organs and key parts of the body,
When in position, you will be momentarily imprisoned and have to change direction.
Zhou Xiang persisted between destruction and semi-destruction! But in his mind, he thought that this must be the magic of the soul-possessed!
His eyes widened and rolled around wildly, and he could only color Lin Feng like this!
Lin Feng seemed to understand something and immediately handed Zhou Xiang to the guards around him and shouted: "Body protection alert!".
The body instantly jumped five meters high and hovered there, then shouted "Cantian!"
Countless spiritual energy lingered around Lin Feng, and his whole body began to glow with light. The light became more and more intense, and another loud shout of "dig!" came out.
I saw the radiant figure in the sky, raising a fist and slamming his body towards the ground. In an instant, he was already half-kneeling on the ground, and the fist also smashed into the ground.
There were two loud sounds of "bump" and "click", and the light around Lin Feng turned into flakes and flew in all directions. Except for Zhou Xiang and the others, no light passed through. And the ground had been smashed out to a depth of half a person.
There is a big pit, and there is a finger-wide gap extending into the distance!
The light was like a fan-shaped blade, but it did not affect the building. Instead, it passed through like air and continued to shoot into the distance!
A muffled groan came from a dark alley, and at the same time a voice sounded
"You're lucky, you won't be so lucky next time!"
The guards heard the sound and knew the direction of the assassin. They immediately separated two people and chased in the direction of the sound. As the sound disappeared, the blood jade energy in Zhou Xiang's body gradually calmed down!
Zhou Xiang gasped for air. He felt like he had walked through the gate of hell. Under the madness of the blood jade energy just now, every collision would kill him. Thanks to the unknown imprisonment, otherwise he might have died.
I have died hundreds of times!
Seeing that Zhou Xiang was getting better, the guards all breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Xiang slowly sat up, only to see Lin Feng lying on the ground.
Zhou Xiang secretly screamed, and hurriedly called the guards to investigate, but luckily he was just unconscious!
The two chasing guards also returned, but during their pursuit, not even a single figure was seen.
Zhou Xiang's body finally returned to normal, and he immediately led the guards, carrying one drunk and one unconscious, towards the Zhou Mansion!
Zhou Xiang was analyzing as he ran, why would someone kill him, the Sheng family or someone else?
He didn't offend anyone, and no one found out about Mr. Sheng. So, there are only two possibilities. The Sheng family wants to deal with him because of his title as a national scholar; the other is to deal with the Zhou family, just like those dead family heads!
But I'm not the head of the family, so what's the point of dealing with me? Is there any backup plan? Kill Zhou Chengshan's son, and then arrest Zhou Chengshan's family?
Zhou Xiang immediately urged, "Hurry up, go quickly, the one carrying the person behind you will follow, and the others will rush towards me!"
Because the prince was there, he deliberately brought out all the nursing staff at home, leaving only two seventh-level masters hired by the mercenary group to take charge!
The team speeded up instantly, and soon they reached the gate of Zhou's house, but Zhou Xiang heard a scream coming from inside, followed by the sound of fighting! Listen to that sound, it came from the inner hall!
Zhou Xiang scanned his face with his senses and led the people in. Before Zhou Xiang entered the inner hall, he saw a red energy mark slowly rising into the sky, lighting up the entire night sky!
Zhou Xiang was even more anxious. How could there be a warning? It is impossible for the Zhou family to have such a signal. The Zhou family's level is not high enough!
When we finally arrived at the inner courtyard, we saw that the whole courtyard was stained with blood, and several servants and two seventh-level mercenaries hired by the high-salaried people were lying on the ground.
Chapter completed!
