Chapter 99-105
Wang Kezhi said it simply and did not describe the scene at that time. But Zhou Zhe still felt a terrifying feeling.
What kind of force can train such a killer who is ready to die - taking action will inevitably be accompanied by the passing of life, even if it is not the target, it is your own.
Such a loyal and fearless death soldier was abandoned at will?
Why do they attack the prince?
Your Majesty is young and strong now. Although there is only one prince at present, that is because of his deep love with the queen. If he wants to have more children, wouldn’t it be easy?
What else can you get when assassinating a prince besides angering the king of this country?
Zhou Zhe naturally couldn't get the answer to these matters involving the top leaders of the country and was not interested in knowing them.
He only needs to know the task Wang Kezhi gave him:
"During this period, first the second son of the Marquis, then the Marquis himself, then the Earl's eldest son and even involved the queen and princess... There is obviously a secret dream-walking organization in Zehe City... They failed to succeed last night, and I suspect they will continue to attack His Highness the Prince..."
"Fortunately, those dreams yesterday took action in full view of everyone, and the evidence was conclusive. I have applied for the support of the patrol officer from the Yin Shi. With their help, as long as we find the trace of the organization, we can directly flatten it with the thunder!"
"But you still have to be more vigilant during this period. I may summon you to give it to you at any time."
Zhou Zhe nodded: "I understand, captain."
...
When he returned home, it was still noon. Liu Mengfei's door was still closed, and Zhou Zhe returned to his room, thought about it, and picked up the sword again.
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Zhe decided to try again.
Anyway, I already know that the test of challenging the sword spirit is to be cut off one arm's spiritual connection - this is completely within a range that can be tolerated. And now there is also Tushan Fox's add-on wine to help treat mental damage, and then you can go to the Fox Mountain to find a way to get it.
What's more, this time he had a new idea, maybe he could succeed in the challenge!
Holding the sword and closing his eyes, Zhou Zhe quickly fell into his dream, crossed the black fog, and came to the Jianzhong Town again.
I walked through the town with a big stride, probably because it was still early, so it was a shallow night in the town, with a quiet and no trace of other dreams.
Zhou Zhe quickly stepped across the mountain gate, carried the invisible pressure and came back to the sword again. After taking a breath, he reached out his hand from a distance of ten feet.
An invisible palm faintly condensed from the air, which was the manifestation of the true spiritual power of the Void Spirit Glove in the dream world.
This is the method that Zhou Zhe thought of with inspiration.
If you don’t use your spiritual body to contact me directly, the sword will never be able to cut me off, right?
The palm forward and held it on the hilt of the sword.
In an instant, a clear light came, and Zhou Zhe felt that he had suddenly disconnected from the spirit in the Void Spirit Glove. And the remaining light still continued to attack him.
"No way..."
Seeing the clear light slashing towards his chest, Zhou Zhe exclaimed and quickly raised his left hand to resist.
Forget it if you are cut off your arms, you can be a disabled person for a few days at most. If you are cut off, wouldn’t you become a vegetable?
And if you want to kill, just cut your left hand. After all, it’s not your usual hand... With this idea, Zhou Zhe took the initiative to put his left arm in front of him and feed the sword light.
However, just as the clear sword light was about to fall on his left arm, Zhou Zhe felt a slight heat on the back of his left hand, and a low dragon roar suddenly sounded.
The clear sword light stagnated, and then he changed direction and wiped Zhou Zhe's body into Qianye, and he didn't know where he flew to.
Zhou Zhe was stunned and was immediately overjoyed.
"Thank you! Bai Chi!"
He took two steps forward and held the sword on the hilt with his left hand. At this moment, the sword was extremely gentle and seemed to have no will to resist. As Zhou Zhe pulled it hard, the sword was immediately pulled out of the rock by him.
The sword is as light as nothing, and a faint fluorescent light surrounds the blade - no, to be precise, the blade itself is composed of light, not a physical body. If the ancient hilt of the sword is ignored, it looks like a future-style lightsaber, or a glow stick with clear light but unconscious dimness.
This dream domain did not give Zhou Zhe more time to observe. Within a few seconds after he pulled out the sword, Zhou Zhe felt a repulsive force filled with his body, as if he was about to pop him out of this great heaven.
As he flew out, he looked back at the town under Qianye and vaguely saw a slim figure standing in front of the mountain gate.
It's her...
Zhou Zhe's eyes turned dark and he was completely expelled from the sword tomb.
…………
Opening his eyes, Zhou Zhe saw a light spot thrown out from nowhere, and hesitated into the sword in his hand.
Click...
The sword blade fell off inexplicably, and only one hilt was left in his hand.
Immediately afterwards, the hilt of the sword flashed with a reborn light, and the paint colors that were saved on it fell in pieces, as if it was the new life of the cicada pupa, revealing its next light and thin, filled with the washing of time and forming a purple-green hilt.
Zhou Zhe knew that the hilt of the sword was the spiritual treasure that the sword spirit turned into in reality.
The spirit is injected and the connection begins.
Halfway through the connection, Zhou Zhe felt his temples swelling and painful. If he had not improved his spirit during this period and absorbed the effects of the three tiger dragons and fox wine, he would have been very difficult to persist.
When the last point of connection was completed, Zhou Zhe lay on the bed sweating profusely, his mind was blank, and he felt that as long as his thinking was turning a little, his whole brain was boiling as if it was boiling.
After lying in a daze for a while, Zhou Zhe felt that he was gradually recovering. At the same time, he also knew that connecting five spiritual treasures is the absolute limit. Thanks to gloves, masks and necklaces are just ordinary-level spiritual treasures, and they do not occupy much spiritual capacity.
If your spirit has not improved, if you want to use the new spiritual treasure in the future, you may have to cancel the previous connections and make room.
However, although the process was thrilling, the result was still good.
The Sword Spirit Treasure... sounds extraordinary. The power and vividness of Liu Qiankun's sword Spirit Treasure were in my mind before. I don't know what kind of abilities the sword spirit brought out from the sword tomb will have.
Holding the spiritual treasure, Zhou Zhe quickly entered his dream and appeared in the vast black fog at the bottom of the dream world.
With a casual wave, a lightsword flashing with clear fluorescent light appeared in his hand, focusing his mind and diverging his mind. Soon, Zhou Zhe understood the ability of this sword.
Sword name, Xiao Pian!
When you see shadows in the daytime but no light is seen, when you see lights in the night, you see lights in the daytime but no shapes are seen.
When it touches objects, the spire passes by, and it follows the changes and becomes more and more compatible. It is dying without any blood.
The sword does not have blood blades, and does not cut off the body;
The wind remains, and the passing is silent;
The shadow only exists in shape, but only in the spirit of the life body.
This is... a sword that does not kill!
Opening his eyes, Zhou Zhe sighed softly.
Holding the hilt of the sword, in the sunlight near noon, the hilt of the sword was empty and nothing was left. But the sun shone through the air on the ground but cast a three-foot blue shadow.
Fang Zhou saw shadows but no light...
Zhou Zhe pulled up the curtains to block the sunlight. So in the darkness, a faint clear fluorescence appeared in front of the sword. As the room became dim, the brighter the fluorescence became.
The night saw the light but the shape was not seen...
Zhou Zhe sighed lightly again.
"The sword of no killing..."
This sword of Xiao Jian, just as he felt inspiration in the dream world, was a sword that hurts people without blood—literal and inclusive.
Even if the invisible sword blade hits the human body, it will not cause physical damage. Instead, it will cause damage at the more mysterious level of life - just like Zhou Zhe did before.
At the same time, the price of using this sword is... you cannot kill the person who was killed by this sword - otherwise you will directly suffer backlash.
Moreover, it is not just a life form, but also...
Lifting his right hand, the Void Spirit Glove was put on his hand as if he was dead - even the spiritual connection between Lingbao and Youmeng was cut off, which was somewhat similar to the causal devour of immortal chess.
However, "Devour of Cause and Effect" directly causes the opponent's spiritual treasure to backfire, while Xiao Lian cuts off the direct connection between the opponent and the spiritual treasure.
In other words, even if Zhou Zhe took the sword and slashed the other party's neck, the other party would only immediately become paraplegic at a high position, and there would be no scars on his body.
Moreover, in reality, the duration of cutting off the spirit of the life body is very short. Every time you use it, Zhou Zhe himself has to pay the corresponding price.
"The sword of no killing..."
Zhou Zhe sighed for the third time, and then stuffed the hilt into his belt.
Fortunately, it's just a sword hilt. If it's really a complete sword, unless it's a mini weapon like Liu Qiankun, it's quite troublesome to carry it with you.
…………
The continuous rainy season began in Zehe City, and large areas of rain clouds enveloped the city, just like the haze of this eventful autumn.
In just ten days, an earl and two lords died, even the prince was assassinated, and the queen was seriously injured...
The nobles in Chenghe City were in a panic and all kinds of activities seemed to have stopped a lot.
Wang Kezhi was so busy that he heard that the arrest team where Liu Qiankun was located was not light, but Zhou Zhe's life fell into a strange calm.
Because he had to respond to Wang Kezhi's convening at any time, Zhou Zhe had been staying at home and waiting for orders these days, and he would go down from the window to see if there were any signs of convening.
In addition, since the sword spirit test has been passed, the sword given by the count has become the Xiaoling Spirit Sword, and it can no longer be led into the sword tomb Chongtian as a dream. Therefore, the only places in the dream world are Fox Mountain and Qu Saisi's dreams.
However, as Qu Saisi's teaching on the dream world was basically over, Zhou Zhe went to her dream world less and less, mainly concentrated in the dream world of Fox Mountain. After a while, he became familiar with the foxes on the mountain.
But this calm lasted for less than two weeks. When the number of white pieces in the immortal chess cup was close to twenty, Zhou Zhe finally saw the marks of the stones downstairs.
…………
"Captain Wang, are you going to do it?"
After not seeing each other for twelve days, Wang Kezhi seemed to have lost weight again and his eye sockets were even more deeply trapped.
He shook his head and nodded again: "This time, there is a special task to hand over to you."
"Captain Wang, please tell me."
Wang Kezhi pondered for a moment, but decided to talk about the current form first: "After last time, I spent a lot of effort to trace the origin of those killers, but in the end I found nothing. Since those killers have revenged their will of death, they will naturally not leave any useful identity information. As for the dream of taking action on the same day, they were even more corrupted by the disaster, and they could not even recognize their appearance."
"In the end, I could only step back and start from the perspective of killing Zhong Lehong and interrogate the bald head you grabbed. Unexpectedly, I found the problem..."
Zhou Zhe had a complaint in his heart, but he tried to hold it in his heart.
Bald head is the thug at the Emperor's Club, so it is clear who to do things for at a glance.
The matter between Zhong Count is vaguely behind Youmeng's work. When the conspiracy is hindered, someone with extraordinary abilities even sent to assassinate him. This shows that Zhong Leyi has absolutely no route to get on Youmeng.
Now that Zhong Lehong was killed and died, Zhong Lehong, who has a criminal record and is the biggest beneficiary, undoubtedly has the greatest suspicion.
Wang Kezhi himself said before that the assassination of Zhong Lehong and the assassination of Prince and Princess are people of the same force. So just go directly to investigate Zhong Leyi and get clues to contact those people from him? Do you need to know this later?
Although this Captain Wang has no problem being a human being, his business ability seems to be...
Perhaps it was because of the aristocrats that he was so restrained? Zhou Zhe shook his head secretly.
"The bald man was raised by the Emperor's Club and did some shameful things for the club. He didn't know much, he was just an ordinary person, but he still found some useful clues."
"The Emgrand Club is a large den. It is not only a place to provide entertainment for the children of the powerful, but also a place to sell the children of the powerful. The cheap and cheap products I have been following before seem to flow from this club. It attracts the children of the powerful by providing high-quality products, and then uses their relationship network and connections as protective umbrellas and development to go offline, mainly earning money from the civilians..."
"It would be fine if this happens. The bald man confessed that there seemed to be an evil god in the interior of the Emgrand Club... He saw it by chance and was immediately warned seriously. According to him, if it weren't for his hard work for many years and had worked hard enough for the club, he even suspected that he would be silenced..."
"Evil God?" Zhou Zhe repeated the word.
"In addition to those deceitful guys among the people, if there are really people who worship evil gods, they will basically be the nightmare who is unwilling to be lonely and delve into reality." Wang Kezhi said firmly.
Zhou Zhe nodded slightly and thought of Ramil.
"Because of this news, I went to the home of Count Zhong. I found that Zhong Leyi had been imprisoned by the old Count. The old Count claimed that he had discovered that he was secretly sucking him, so he locked him directly in the castle. When Du's attacks, he took everything... including finding someone to make the old Count and his brother suffer from nightmares, finding someone to assassinate his brother to inherit the inheritance..."
As expected... although the order of the front and back may be problematic, it is not a big problem...
Zhou Zhe asked: "In other words, is the source of everything a genius?"
"Yes, and there may be more than one person. Earl Gao must have seen the nightmare they worshipped when he smashed the shop, or offended the nightmare, so he was silenced."
"Did you get the news from the bald man's mouth that the genius is?"
"I interrogated too late, and the building was empty when I went."
"But it has been confirmed that the assassination of Count Gao, Count Zhong and the princess were all done by these evil demons' agents, and they will definitely attack the prince and the princess again in the future!"
"The old Count is old, and Zhong Leyi is ambitious to get the throne of Earl, and he can understand that he will attack his brother and the old Count. And those operatives should also be happy to see another Count and noble under their control, but why do they attack the prince?"
Wang Kezhi shook his head and said, "These things are impossible for the bald man to understand... Okay, you probably understand the situation. There is a task to be distributed to you next."
Zhou Zhe looked somber: "Captain Wang, please tell me."
"You have contacted Count Zhong as a 'philosopher' before. I want you to contact the Count's family in this capacity and accept their request."
Zhou Zhe was stunned: "What request?"
Wang Ke knew: "Protect the royal family."
Zhou Zhe was stunned: "The royal family? It refers to the queen and the others? They should live in the mansion of Chenghe Hou now. The guards are so strict that there are so many guards alone. Can't they protect the queen, prince and princess?"
"You just have to execute and complete the task!"
After Wang Kezhi said something casually, he paused for a few seconds, and explained: "The guards can only ensure that they are not harmed by ordinary people, but at the extraordinary level, ordinary guards cannot achieve perfect protection."
"Where is the patrol? Didn't Captain Wang say that he would send patrol over before? Are they not responsible for protecting the king...the queen and the princess?"
"The patrol... won't come."
Wang Kezhi was silent for a long time, sighing as if tired: "Master Yin Shing is ordered to do our best to protect the safety of the queen and princess. The patrolmen are now in important tasks and cannot get out."
What important task is that even the king's wife and children are secondary?
Zhou Zhe opened his mouth, finally closed it and nodded.
Wang Kezhi patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, although it is to protect the royal family, the difficulty of this mission is not high, and there will be no major danger..."
After a pause for half a second, Wang Kezhi continued: "...Because this time the task of protecting the royal family is not just you, why are there no special people around the royal family protecting it? It's just that last time they were in public, it was not convenient for them to take action. In addition, the situation was urgent, so our queen was injured...
Moreover, as the captain of the arrest team, Liu Qiankun will defend the outside of the Marquis' Mansion. I will also lead the team to patrol nearby, but our identity is not convenient to enter the interior of the palace, so it will be handed over to you... Once an accident occurs, we only need to hold the assassin for a moment, and we will arrive immediately!"
Zhou Zhewei nodded.
…………
"Mr. Philosopher!"
In the wine hall, there was a sound of surprise coming from behind. Zhou Zhe turned around and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Miss Leyan, what a coincidence, we met again."
But what I said in my heart was: I deliberately wandered around the major bars these two nights, and finally ran into the Earl's daughter.
"Mr. Zheshi, I have been looking for you these days!"
"Oh? What's wrong with Miss Leyan looking for me? Could it be that she is still suffering from nightmares?"
"No... the nightmare is over and there will be no more in the future." Zhongle's face turned dark, but then he said seriously: "This time it was not a private matter to find Mr. Zheshi, but to look for Mr. Zheshi for the Marquis."
"Shenhe waited to find me?" Zhou Zhe said in surprise; "I wonder what's going on?"
"This matter is a long story."
Zhong Leyan sat down next to the bar and told the story in a casual manner. It was roughly the same as what Wang Kezhi said, but it was different in details.
The so-called details are that the prince and the princess have been in a state of restlessness and sleepless after experiencing the assassination some time ago. The grand duke felt sorry for his nephew and nieces, so he wanted to seek help from strange people to help the prince and the princess calm down.
When Zhou Zhe heard this, he immediately understood that this Zen River Hou was obviously also a person who knew about dreams.
This is not surprising. Even the Earl Gao Zhenghao has a dreamer, let alone a marquis with a fief. There must be dreamer under the command of the Zehe Hou.
Looking back, it is no wonder that the killers had to take action in public. Because in that way, they would only face ordinary guards, and the dreamers around the royal family would be reluctant to use methods.
After hearing Zhong Leyan's words, Zhou Zhe stood up and smiled:
"Why dare not obey if the marquis invites you?"
…………
"Mr. Philosopher!"
Zhou Zhe was treated to in the magnificent and luxurious mansion of Chenghe Hou.
"I have heard of Mr. Tsaishi's methods before, so I entrust the Earl to help me find my whereabouts. Please forgive me."
"It is my honor to be able to serve the Marquis."
Zhou Zhe smiled and bowed.
"Hahaha, Mr. Philosopher, please rest assured. I will not be stingy with those who serve me... Please take your seat first."
"Then I thank the Marquis first."
Zhou Zhe nodded and sat down in the arranged position.
His eyes swept across the long table, and the left and right hands of the Marquis of Chenghehou were the Marquis, the young prince and the same young princess, but the queen was not present.
It seems that the queen is indeed very injured. She has been half a month and seems to be unable to get out of bed... Zhou Zhe thought to himself.
On the table, the prince looked aggrieved and seemed absent-minded. The princess was also haggard and even more regretful... After all, they were just children.
Going further down, there are the grand duke's children, who are younger than the prince, and their eldest daughter is only thirteen or fourteen years old.
After that, Zhong Leyan.
Then, there is an acquaintance opposite Zhou Zhe.
Zhou Zhe saw the frivolous noble man with a strand of white hair on his head in front of him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The nightmare traveler, Yang Chen.
The latter's face was stiff for a moment, but he quickly covered it up and nodded to Zhou Zhe with an impeccable smile.
Chenghehou picked up the wine glass and signaled that everyone could start drinking happily, then looked at Zhou Zhe with a smile and said:
"Mr. Zheshi, this time I also invited Mr. Yang Chen to help. Leyan said that you were old acquaintances and would definitely be able to cooperate well this time."
Zhou Zhe looked back and smiled at the Grand Duke: "That's natural, Lord Marquis."
The simple meal ended soon. The head-on Zehehou slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a warm wet wipe, announced that the dinner was over, and brought the two to the study to talk.
Sitting on a high-back fine-grained wooden chair, the young and strong middle-aged marquis said in a deep voice: "You should have known the reason for me to invite you. Some illegal people are brave enough to plot against the royal family. Before I find out these mice in the gutter, I will ask you to help protect my nephew and niece at some levels. After this matter, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Zhou Zhe and Yang Chen nodded.
"Mr. Yang Chen, your highness, please be responsible for protecting it."
Yang Chen smiled and bowed slightly: "With me all day, the prince will definitely be safe and worry-free."
The Grand Duke nodded slightly and looked at Zhou Zhe again: "Mr. Zheshi, I'll trouble you with your princess."
Let me protect the princess... Could it be that the grand duke also knows the nature of this guy?
Zhou Zhe complained in his heart and nodded, "I will do my best to protect the safety of His Highness the Princess."
"Um."
The grand duke nodded: "Let the butler take you to see the two high men."
"Marquis, take your leave."
The two walked out of the study, and two housekeepers, one man and one woman, had been waiting outside for a long time.
Before parting, Yang Chen smiled and said, "It's really reassuring to be able to work with Mr. Zheshi. I'd like to ask Mr. Zheshi not to mind the little misunderstanding before."
Zhou Zhe smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, please be polite."
When they looked at each other, the two turned around and separated, and the smiles on their faces became cold at the same time.
His Majesty and the Queen of the Kingdom today have only one son and one daughter, the eldest daughter Zhao Qingqiu and the legitimate son Zhao Xiaomu. The princess and the prince are only one year apart. It is said that because His Majesty feels sorry for the Queen, he does not have any other children, only this pair of children.
Such a princess received high-level aristocratic education since childhood. Although she looked sad, she was still polite to Zhou Zheyi and civilians.
"I'll trouble Mr. Tseshi in the next few days."
Zhou Zhe smiled and said, "Your Highness, Princess, are you polite."
Under the guidance of the butler, Zhou Zhe followed the princess into the bedroom. A maid next to the princess suddenly stopped Zhou Zhe: "Your Highness the Princess is going to bed. Just guard the guards outside."
Zhou Zhe did not make any statement, but the middle-aged female housekeeper next to him said lightly: "The Marquis ordered the two gentlemen to protect the prince and the princess within their sight."
The maid said in surprise: "What kind of discipline is this?"
"The room inside has been decorated, so don't worry."
As the butler said, he pushed the door open and entered. He saw a curtain on the four corners of the large bed in the wide bedroom, and two screens were placed next to it to separate the area. There was a small soft collapse in this area.
"Mr. Zheshi, please rest there at night. If necessary, please do not walk around the room."
Zhou Zhe nodded.
The dreamer has many methods, so he is closer to the princess, so he can also guard the dream world at night.
When the princess's maid saw this arrangement, she didn't say much.
Zhou Zhe walked into the area separated by the screen, sat down on the soft collapse, and consciously dropped the veil.
The maid snorted and began to serve the princess to bed.
Soon, the lights in the bedroom went out and fell into dimness.
Zhou Zhe entered the dream world and waited for a long time. He saw a black and white dream not far from the black fog. From the outside, it can be seen that the protagonist of the dream is Princess Qingqiu.
Go in and see if there is any abnormality in His Royal Highness’s dream. It should be one of the work contents of protection… Zhou Zhe thought this way, and was about to enter the princess’ dream, but it seemed as if he had hit the invisible iron wall of copper and iron, and his forehead hurt.
"this……"
Zhou Zhe reached out and found that he touched an invisible barrier outside the princess's dream.
Soul Jade...is worthy of being the princess of the kingdom, she actually wears this kind of good thing...
Jade is a good thing. Legend has it that jade is the essence of heaven and earth. It can enhance communication between gods and people, ward off evil spirits and rejuvenate, and prolong life...
These words are half true and half false. For ordinary people, the greatest effect of jade is only ornamental value. But for dreamers, if it is a high-quality chalcedony, it does have some magical special effects.
For example, high-quality chalcedony can carry dream guides for a long time and go through long years without dissipating;
For example, high-quality chalcedony can help the stable spirit of dreaming, making it easier to walk in the black fog;
For example, high-quality chalcedony can really protect people's dreams from being invaded by "evil spirits"...
At least, Zhou Zhe, the "evil" was stopped.
The princess was wearing it obviously had a very high-quality chalcedony, which added a protective cover to her dream, and even ordinary nightmare could not enter her dream.
Of course, Zhou Zhe felt that if he used some means, he might not be able to break the barrier and force himself into his dream. But when he woke up early the next morning, the princess would probably find that the jade ornaments on her body were already broken.
Shaking his head, Zhou Zhe simply gave up this idea and kept it outside the princess' dream.
...
His Royal Highness seemed to have no habit of sleeping in. He got up early in the morning. After finishing his appearance, he went to visit the queen before breakfast.
As a bodyguard, Zhou Zhe naturally had to accompany him.
On the spacious large solid wood bed, a middle-aged woman lying under the gooseberry quilt.
Compared with the graceful and luxurious days of the River God Ceremony, the queen is now terrifyingly haggard, with a layer of black on her face, black lips, and dry hair.
"My mother."
The princess squatted down beside the bed, talking about her longing and worries in the unconscious queen's ear. Zhou Zhe's eyes moved away from the princess' back and looked at the other people standing by the bed.
In addition to the maid who was serving, there was also a curly-haired woman who looked about thirty years old. She was neither aristocratic clothes nor dressed in a maid. When she saw Zhou Zhe's eyes, she turned her head and looked at him, nodding slightly.
Zhou Zhe replied, guessing in his heart that this person might be the dream of the marquis’s mansion. It seems that he was using some means to continue the queen’s life?
After visiting the queen, the princess went to have a meal. A person like Zhou Zhe, who is naturally a bodyguard, would not eat with the Marquis' family, so he was arranged in a side room next to him.
In addition to Yang Chen, Zhou Zhe saw a beautiful woman eating in the room. The two were talking, but it seemed that Yang Chen was talking, while the latter was just dealing with it casually.
"Mr. Philosopher, early."
When he saw Zhou Zhe, Yang Chen first greeted him and smiled and said, "Ah, let me introduce you to you. This is General Manager Tu Yun, the attendant supervisor around His Highness Prince. He is responsible for protecting His Highness Prince with me."
Zhao Xiaomu was a prince. Even if he came to Chenghe in a low-key manner, he naturally had many maids and servants around him. And these people always had to be in charge of the affairs, and the person in charge of the affairs was naturally the supervisor of the affairs.
However, if she was just a servant general, she would not sit here for dinner. This place is very close to the main hall so that anything would happen can be rushed over quickly. And according to her identity as she and Yang Chen, she would naturally be able to sit here...
Zhou Zhe nodded to Tu Yun, then sat down to have a meal.
Obviously, this lady is responsible for protecting the royal family's Youmeng. But she only has one person, so it is obvious that she can't take care of the prince and the princess at the same time. No wonder Zehe Hou still has to find Youmeng from the people to help.
Moreover, as the future heir of the kingdom, the prince's identity is naturally more important than the princess, so Tu Yun personally protected him - and then took over Yang Chen. The princess's side was directly dumped on her unknown self.
It feels like this, Chenghehou seems to be not caring about his niece...
While eating, Zhou Zhe could vaguely hear the conversation in the main hall due to the hearing strengthened by Ramil's power. But it was nothing more than a routine conversation among the nobles, and nothing new.
However, the small theater in front of me is much more interesting. Yang Chen and Tu Yun chatted together, their words were appropriate but their implicit meaning was beyond words. They performed a textbook-style guide template in front of Zhou Zhe.
From the beginning of ignoring it, to the end of the conversation with great interest, it was just a meal. Zhou Zhe was amazed.
Expert! Really skilled in business skills!
It was raining heavily outside, and the prince didn't know where he went. But the princess stayed in the queen's room after dinner, as if she felt that companionship could make her mother wake up earlier.
Zhou Zhe and An Yi stood on the terrace, looking at the garden under the rain.
An Yi is the name of this curly-haired woman. She has the same surname as Chenghehou, and it seems to be the surname given by the latter.
"The Queen's situation is not optimistic. The poison she was infected with is very strange. I tried to use many methods but could not solve it. I could only use means to keep it in one breath. It is possible at any time..."
An Yi sighed softly as she glanced over the princess with a sad face beside the bed.
"The queen has always been kind and kind, but she didn't expect to encounter such a disaster... The little girl back then was about to grow up, and it would be her coming-of-age ceremony for half a year. It's hard to imagine that if there was no Queen's attendance at that time..."
"Ms. An has seen His Highness the Princess before?"
An Yi nodded and said, "Yes. That was when the old marquis was still there. The queen came back once with the little princess who was only five or six years old. It has been ten years in a blink of an eye."
Zhou Zhe nodded slightly.
It seems that Youmeng served the family during the old Marquis's reign. After the old Marquis passed away a few years ago, his eldest son succeeded to the throne of marquis, but An Yi is still here.
Zhou Zhe was a little curious about these dream wanderers who served the nobles: "Ms. An should have served the Marquis for a long time. Has this happened before?"
"Other situations where You Meng provoke the Marquis?"
The storm was loud, and the conversation between the two would not be heard in the room, so An Yi said bluntly: "It is rare. The Marquis' Mansion is guarded by hundreds of guards, and he dare not infringe on ordinary Youmeng. Moreover, the mansion is independent, so it is difficult for other Youmeng to have the opportunity to make trouble from the dream world. Inviting Mr. Zheshi and Mr. Yang Chen to come is also because there are many important personnel in the mansion and cannot take care of him."
Zhou Zhe nodded and did not ask how many famous people in the Marquis' Mansion are like misunderstood questions that are easy to cause misunderstandings.
"The Marquis has now sent people to search for the lords who dared to offend the royal family. As long as they are still in the city of Zenhe, it is only a matter of time to find them. Before this, please be sure to protect the safety of the prince and His Highness."
Zhou Zhe nodded: "I will do my best."

The day passed quickly, and it was night. When he was bedtime, Zhao Qingqiu suddenly stepped off his maid, leaving Zhou Zhe and her in the room.
The rain outside became more and more wanton, spilling on the ground like a pour, and the sound of the rain covered all the noises in the house.
"Mr. Tseshi, I want to ask you for help in something."
Zhou Zhe was stunned and then said, "Your Highness the Princess has a request, just say it directly, if I can do my best naturally."
Zhao Qingqiu immediately said: "I want Mr. Zheshi to help me find someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"A doctor." Zhao Qingqiu said: "My mother once told me that there is a miracle doctor in Chenghe City. No matter what kind of difficult diseases are, she can catch him...My mother's body is getting weaker day by day. I am worried that she will not be able to hold on if she continues to fall into a coma like this. So I want to ask the gentleman to help me find him."
Zhou Zhe asked: "Since there is such a miracle doctor, why doesn't Your Highness let the Marquis call him to the mansion directly?"
Zhao Qingqiu shook his head and said, "Uncle An Hou rejected my proposal. He said that those so-called miracle doctors are just liars, and even the most advanced medical technology cannot solve the disease. Those doctors in the martial arts world will not have any solutions. The urgent illness will only make the mother more dangerous."
Zhou Zhe nodded and said, "Mr. Marquis is right. Your Highness, Princess, must believe in science. I heard that the Marquis has sent someone to other cities to invite the best doctors. Please wait patiently."
Zhao Qingqiu shook her head firmly: "I see the situation of my mother. She is in poor health. If this continues, she will not be able to withstand it without waiting for the doctors from other cities. And I believe that the miracle doctor... My mother told me about his affairs, and he will definitely not be a liar."
Taking a breath, Zhao Qingqiu said: "My mother mentioned something to me. The miracle doctor is like you, Ms. An Yi and... Mr. Zheshi. Ms. An Yi can save her mother from death. The miracle doctor may have a way to completely solve the toxins on her mother's body."
After taking a little step back, Zhao Qingqiu gave a solemn gift: "Please ask Mr. Zheshi to help me."
Under the moonlight, looking at His Highness the Princess's serious expression, Zhou Zhe pondered: "Your Highness, even if I am willing to help you, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Chenghe City. Where can I find this miracle doctor? How can I guarantee that he is willing to come?"
"Secondly, the Marquis invited me to protect His Highness's safety. Logically speaking, I should not leave His Highness until the danger is lifted. Moreover, since the Marquis rejected His Highness's proposal before, it is difficult for me to let the Marquis let me go out of the mansion to find someone."
"Mr. Philosopher doesn't have to worry about these aspects."
Zhao Qingqiu took out a neatly stacked handkerchiefs and a letter from the side.
"Although this miraculous doctor is a strange man like his husband, he is indifferent to fame and fortune, so he is unknown. My mother had an interaction with him when she was young, and occasionally talked about this person with me, and I learned about his existence because of this."
Indifferent to fame and fortune? It seems that although His Royal Highness knows some things about dreaming, it is not completely true. If the miracle doctor is really a dreamer, how could he be indifferent to fame and fortune? I am afraid that being too famous and attracting attention will lead to disasters.
"Sir, with this handkerchief, she will definitely come."
Putting the handkerchief and letter paper in front of Zhou Zhe, Zhao Qingqiu said again: "Since Uncle Anhou does not agree to find a doctor to treat my mother's illness, then he will not let him know.
My safety Mr. Don’t worry, I have asked Tu Yun to come to my side tonight, and the royal guards will cooperate with Mr. to leave the mansion. Mr. only needs to find the doctor tonight, bring these two things to him and come back directly. Uncle Anhou will not know what happened tonight.”
Zhou Zhe glanced at Zhao Qingqiu.
He didn't say that he was in a row this day, but he basically guaranteed that the other party was within his sight, but did not find out how the other party arranged all this.
Although the princess is young, her work is not consistent with her age.
However, it is really hard to agree to such extravagant things.
The marquis' mansion was very cautious inside and outside, and even a mouse would be caught in other places except the main gate. But when the princess said that, she wanted him to go out privately... If this matter was discovered, it would be hard to explain even ten thousand mouths.
Seeing Zhou Zhe hesitating, Zhao Qingqiu gave another etiquette and said sincerely: "I beg sir, please help me with Qingqiu for his filial piety. Whether it is successful or not, Qingqiu will remember it in his heart."
As he said that, Zhao Qingqiu took out a milky white jade pendant with a leaf-shaped shape and a rounded edge from his body: "This jade pendant is carved with the best golden white chalcedony heart. It was given to me by my father on my sixteenth birthday. I heard that this type of chalcedony is more useful in the hands of a strange man like you, so Qingqiu is willing to give this jade pendant to Mr. and talk about thanking me."
The sky cried loudly and the rain fell.
The maid sat on the chair, drowsy and drowsy.
Footsteps vaguely sounded in the aisle, but with Zhou Zhe's hearing, it was difficult to hear the movement outside during the heavy rain. Instead, relying on the strange "shaking" to detect the man staying outside the door.
After a moment of movement, Zhou Zhe closed his eyes and entered the dream world.
Then I found out that outside the princess' dream, there was a woman standing in the black fog.
It was Tu Yun who I saw during the day.
Both of them looked like they were, so they recognized each other at a glance.
"I will protect this place tonight, Mr. Philosopher, and your highness, I will trouble you."
Zhou Zhe nodded, without saying much, his figure disappeared into the black fog and left the dream world.
Walking out from behind the screen, I glanced at the princess sleeping on the bed, and jumped down from the balcony.
Two guards were guarding the window, but they turned a blind eye to Zhou Zhe, a figure who fell from the sky with the rain, as if they were covered by the rain curtain and blinded.
Of course, this is not the effect of a low-key mask. Masks only reduce their presence, rather than directly ignoring the living people falling from the sky.
Obviously, these guards who were guarding nearby were all royal guards. And to them, His Royal Highness the Princess had already said hello.
One of the guards raised his hand and pointed in a direction. Zhou Zhe nodded to him and ran towards him under the rain curtain.
…………
The address given by His Royal Highness the Princess was actually in a slum in Hexi, which was beyond Zhou Zhe's expectations.
It was pitch black at night, and the sky and the earth were dark in the rain. Zhou Zhe ran over the Ze River Bridge, followed those chaotic street signs, and finally found the target with his experience of living here for a while.
"Sanquan Medical Center...is that's right here."
The small clinic is hidden deep in a small alley. The rainwater accumulates in front of the clinic door. The iron gate has been pulled down and the glass door inside is locked.
Zhou Zhe knocked in front of the door, but no one answered for a while. So he turned to the back alley and jumped onto the courtyard wall wet by the rain.
But before he could stand still, a silver light suddenly shot out from the yard. Zhou Zhe quickly jumped back and rolled in the air to avoid it. When he turned his head, he saw a silver needle piercing into the roadside pillar, and the tail end was still trembling slightly.
"Doctor Dao, I came here by someone's entrustment to send a letter."
Zhou Zhe's voice spread through the rain screen. After a while, the lights in the clinic lights lit up and the rolling gate also rose.
A man stood behind the glass door and removed the lock on the door.
Zhou Zhe understood and walked into the clinic, but did not go deeper. He just stood at the door and let the raindrops drop on his body fall, and took out a folded plastic bag from his arms.
"Your Highness the Princess asks me to say hello to you."
While handing out the thing, Zhou Zhe looked at the man in front of him with the opportunity.
The eyebrows are like paint brushes, the eyes are like stars, and the temperament is elegant and easy-going. They look about forty years old, but their body is well maintained. If it weren't for the few white hair on the temples, they would only look thirty years old, which is the most attractive time for a man.
He was wearing a simple sleeping suit and stood three steps away from Zhou Zhe. His voice was low and hoarse, but full of energy:
"Princess...that little girl Qingqiu?"
He took the bag from Zhou Zhe and the doctor named Dao Sanquan took out the things inside.
When he saw the handkerchief first, his eyes slightly condensed, then he opened the letter, read it, and then said after a moment of silence: "Go back and tell her that I will go to the Marquis' Mansion tomorrow."
Zhou Zhe nodded and turned around and left.
When he was at the entrance of the alley, he looked back and saw that Dao Sanquan was half hidden and was blocked by the door post. He could only see that he was holding the handkerchief in his hand, and was stunned.
…………
Walking through the rain and about to climb the Zen River Bridge, Zhou Zhe suddenly heard a shrill scream in the wind and rain. Looking around, the downpour of rain blocked the sight, and the scenery ten meters away was no longer clear.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zhe closed his eyes, and after a moment his ear suddenly moved slightly and looked in one direction.
Another scream, although it was inaudible in the wind and rain, was still caught in concentration.
Take out the wet low-key mask from your arms and put it on. Zhou Zhe's figure gradually blurred with the wind and rain as he moved forward.
By the river, wooden pier.
Several large sacks were tied together, and there seemed to be some living creatures squirming inside the sack, but after being kicked a few times, they just kept shaking in the rain and didn't dare to make any major moves.
More than a dozen men in special black tight rubber jackets were scattered around, half on the alert, and the other half gathered on the edge of a dock on the bank of the river.
"Next."
The rain hit a young man with a sinister face and a scalpel in his hand. The wet rubber coat made him look more like an aquatic animal crawling out of the water than a human.
Someone untied a cloth bag and pulled out a woman in her twenties. She took off all her clothes despite her wailing.
The four men held the woman's hands and feet, fixed her to the ground like an iron hoop, and injected something into her body with a syringe. The woman screamed, and the screams spread in the wind and rain, but as the man holding her hand slapped her on the face, the scream immediately turned into a sob.
The young man held the knife in a cold face with a finger pressing style. The blade quickly drew a bloodline on the woman's body. Then, as the man pulled the wound open, the pink organ inside was exposed.
The man skillfully lifted the heart with his left hand and changed his right hand to a gripping style. He cut off the aorta, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein and superior and inferior vena cava after a few strokes, and completely removed the heart, and then used the same skilled method to remove the liver.
Walking quickly to the river, the man threw the two organs in his hand into the river, but fell into the water strangely, without splashing any water, as if he was directly swallowed by the deep river water.
The woman's slightly empty chest and abdomen were completely exposed to the rain, but it seemed that due to the residual medicinal power, she still kept breathing and did not completely die.
However, the men had already lifted her up and threw her into an electric garbage truck parked by the dock.
"Next."
Killing people to get dirty seems to be common for these people. The rain quickly washed away the blood on their bodies and on the docks without leaving any trace.
Several men walked towards the next sack, and as the bloody behavior was about to repeat, a man looking at the wind suddenly raised his neck and fell to the ground.
Due to the obstacles of wind and rain, this person was not discovered immediately, but as his subordinates fell one after another, when the fourth person also fell into the wind and rain, the young man showed a fierce look on his face and jumped into the night.
Half-squatted beside the man who was struggling in pain, the man looked at his situation.
The laryngeal cartilage is crushed vigorously, and the trachea is pressed to make it impossible to breathe.
In this case, it is only a matter of time before death by suffocation.
When he stood up, the man saw another person not far away, covering his throat and falling down in pain. His eyes froze out the scalpel in his hand.
The scalpel drew a silver light in the rain, chasing a touch of black, but it was a slight difference and only penetrated a big tree deeply.
The man immediately rushed forward, and a figure jumped out from behind the tree and came towards him.
The man's fingertips appeared black, and his fingers were slightly bent like sharp claws, colliding with the figure.
The two of them took a step back. The man held his slightly trembling right hand, grinned open his mouth, revealing a sharp teeth: "Who are you?"
Zhou Zhe, wearing a mask and a hood, spoke silently, but just glanced at the others who were quickly surrounding him.
There were thirteen people in total. Five of them had been secretly dealt with by relying on Xu Ling Gloves, and eight were left.
Moreover, among these eight people, four of them also showed sharp teeth and claws. Like the man in front of them, they were not ordinary people.
The dark and sharp claws reminded Zhou Zhe of a guy he had met.
The flames seem to have a miraculous effect on this guy, but unfortunately, the disaster necklace is simply unavailable in the heavy rain.
Could it be that only...
Zhou Zhe's fingers penetrated into his pocket, and his fingertips had already touched the bright chess piece.
"Kill him!"
The man noticed Zhou Zhe's actions and shouted loudly, and the rest immediately rushed towards Zhou Zhe.
At this time, a narrow and narrow air flow slanted like a sword slashing, quickly swept through the wind and rain, cutting through the night, and swept past the two of them in front of Zhou Zhe.
In the wind and rain, the two men turned into four pieces and fell to the ground, with a large area of blood gushing out, and then quickly washed away by the rain.
Zhou Zhe turned his head and saw a figure walking out of the night with a mini short knife.
Liu Qiankun...
She couldn't speak while wearing a mask, and Zhou Zhe would not take the liberty to call out Liu Qiankun's name. He had many questions in his heart, but at this moment he suppressed all the pressure and could only fight against the enemy.
In an instant, the two men were reduced again. The man's already gloomy face became more and more fierce. He glanced at the direction of the river and then changed again.
The face appeared with a dark brown hardness, the pupils turned into a cold-blooded animal-like vesicular body, and the body seemed to have grown a circle, almost bursting the glue tights.
The other few people also had similar changes, but the degree and depth were different.
"Huh..."
He drank a heat from his mouth, and the monster-like man led the two to pounce towards Liu Qiankun, while the remaining few people rushed towards Zhou Zhe.
Obviously, in his opinion, Liu Qiankun, who emitted the shocking sword, seemed to be more difficult than Zhou Zhe who was hiding his head and masked.
Being underestimated...
Since these people are not ordinary people, I naturally don’t have to hide it anymore. Zhou Zhe’s mouth curled up, dark colored scales appeared on his arms, and he collided with the first person.
Under the rain, the fight was particularly fierce.
These guys who also seem to have unnatural powers are extremely powerful, and they also have corrosive toxins on their claws. I think it would be hard to feel after being caught.
And I don’t know whether it’s the effect of rain on the rubber coat or the special abilities of these guys, but when they hit them, they were cut open as if they were encountering slippery pig skin, it was difficult to cause any real harm to them.
Zhou Zhe, who had lost his patience, took advantage of the opportunity to swing a punch and slapped a white chess piece on a man's chest.
In the rain curtain, a clear thunder sounded, and the dazzling lightning burst out with the chess piece, forming a net that was so unrestrained that it seemed to be woven by electric current. While swallowing the man, a guy next to him was also affected by half of his body.
The lightning lasted only a few seconds, and the person in the center fell to the ground and lost his breath. The guy next to him was also half of his body fell into numbness, kneeling on the ground and twitching all over.
Zhou Zhe walked over and finally held the guy's throat tightly.
When covering the dark colored scales, the strength of the arms increased again, so that with force, it not only crushed the throat cartilage, but directly squeezed the guy's neck, as if a blood flower was splattering between the tiger's mouth, and then quickly was washed away by the rain.
Except for these two people, the rest of the other guys were all ordinary people. After Zhou Zhe solved all two punches, he turned to Liu Qiankun's battle situation.
Liu Qiankun's movements were as light as a swimming fish in the rain. He held the short knife in his hand, which was obviously a short knife less than one foot long, but when Liu Qiankun held it in one hand, a fierce airflow burst out in front of the blade, so that in the wind and rain, the short knife turned into more than three feet in a similar shape as a Taidao. Every time he swung, it cut the rain curtain, and he did not lose any disadvantage. One of them had even been directly beheaded by him.
Seeing Zhou Zhe approaching, the man showed hatred on his face. After a feint, he turned his head and ran towards the dock. His companion was abandoned by Liu Qiankun and his arm was cut off by Liu Qiankun. Another one cut across the abdomen, spilled out his intestines and fell to the ground.
The man's escape direction was not the city, but the pier. He crawled deep down near the river, and lowered his head as if he was worshiping the river. Even when Liu Qiankun's Qi Blade approached his back neck, he did not hide, but just worshiped devoutly.
Zhou Zhe touched the chess piece and looked at the river vigilantly.
However, there was no change in the tumultuous river surface under the rain.
As soon as Liu Qiankun moved his wrist, a head rolled and flew out. The cross section was smooth and he could even see the cavity on the cross section of the bone.
The head fell into the sea, stirring up a wave of blood, but it faded away quickly and there was no trace of it again.
Zhou Zhe took off his mask... When he was discovered, he no longer maintained the effect of a low-key mask. The fierce battle has been until now, and the price of banning the ban just ended.
"Don't leave any living?"
"I can't ask anything. These guys have poison sacs in their bodies. Once they are captured, they will sacrifice to explode and commit suicide."
Zhou Zhe felt aroused: "Captain Liu has met these guys before?"
Liu Qiankun did not reply, but pointed to the direction of the remaining three cloth bags: "Your gloves can be operated from the air. Put them in, don't let them see them."
Zhou Zhe nodded, walked to the shadow with Liu Qiankun, and the Xu Ling glove flew out, unbuttoned the rope of the cloth bag, and then gently patted the person inside.
One man and two woman emerged from the three cloth bags, both of whom were not young. As the continuous fright and the erosion of the rain, their bodies were wet and their lips turned white.
In the rain, they vaguely saw the bodies lying on the ground in rubber clothes. The woman screamed and then fled in a hurry. One of the young men seemed to realize something. After running a few steps, they turned around and bowed to the place where no one was.
Chapter completed!
