Chapter 1401: Identity Exposed, Battle in the Post House
Chapter 1403 Identity exposed, battle in the post house
Walking on the road in Xucheng, Ning Yuanzhou observed carefully.
"The last time I passed through Xucheng was a few years ago. Not much has changed here. It seems that after Anguo captured Xucheng, it didn't make much change in the short term."
Neither Zhou Chen nor Yuan Lu had been to Xucheng, so they couldn't see anything. But Ning Yuanzhou had been to Anguo to lurk before, and passed by Xucheng more than once, so he still had an impression of Xucheng.
Because the mission was taken away by Anguo officials, the news could not be transmitted immediately, so the caravan could only find an inn to stay temporarily.
The mission did not receive much attention from the Anguo people, but was randomly arranged to a post house that was already dilapidated. The conditions were not much better than those in a mud house in the countryside.
Yang Ying grew up in the palace. Although she was not taken seriously and was very lonely, she never lacked food or clothing. Along the way, she was admired by many stars and never suffered any grievances in life.
So when she saw the conditions here, she yelled angrily, and even scolded Queen Zhaojie. This made Ren Ruyi, who regarded Queen Zhaojie as a benefactor, furious, broke out, and slapped Yang Ying, which scared her.
Yang Ying.
In the inn, Ning Yuanzhou frowned slightly after receiving Qian Zhao's message.
"Did you discover Zhu Yiwei's trace so soon?"
Qian Zhao wrote a letter saying that he had found traces of Zhu Yiwei, but he was in the mission and could not escape for the time being, so he asked them to go and investigate first.
"Yuanlu, where is Zhou Chen? Why didn't you see him after entering the inn?"
"Brother Zhou said he was going out for a walk."
Ning Yuanzhou muttered: "This kid doesn't look like he's here on a mission at all, more like he's here for fun."
Thinking of Zhou Chen's performance along the way, it was completely different from their state. He was not nervous at all. Even if he encountered danger, he dealt with it calmly. His mentality was much better than those of them.
Ning Yuanzhou can understand why Zhou Chen is like this, because Zhou Chen has withdrawn from the Six Paths Hall and is no longer fighting for the Six Paths Hall, so naturally there is no pressure like them.
In fact, he really envied Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen's mentality was like the secluded life he pursued, but he still had his own responsibilities and could not really do whatever he wanted like Zhou Chen.
"Ignore him, let's go over and see the situation ourselves."
Zhu Yiwei, as an organization similar to Liu Daotang, has always been Liu Daotang's biggest opponent. Now that they have entered the territory of Anguo, the one they need to guard against most is Zhu Yiwei.
Just like in the Wu Kingdom, some people wanted to rescue Emperor Wu and some did not want to rescue Emperor Wu. He knew that the same situation existed in the An Kingdom. Some people welcomed their envoys to arrive in An, while others did not welcome their envoys to arrive in An.
Within the territory of Wu State, he could still be very confident in ensuring the safety of the mission, but if something happened within the territory of An State, it would be beyond his reach.
So he was not allowed to be careless.
Ren Ruyi walked down the street in despair, ignoring the noise on both sides. Just because Yang Ying scolded Queen Zhaojie, she lost control of her emotions, slapped Yang Ying, and then left alone.
Now that she had calmed down, she felt a little sorry for Yang Ying. Passing by a candy man stall, she was attracted by the candy man and the little white rabbit. Thinking that Yang Ying's favorite was the little rabbit, she bought one.
Little Sugar Rabbit, prepare to go back and bring it to Yang Ying.
"Oh, you are so leisurely and elegant, my dear."
Ren Ruyi suddenly turned her head and saw Zhou Chen, a few steps behind her, looking at her with a smile.
"Why are you here?"
"Not seeing you for one day is like three autumns. You are my child. I am worried about you. Why don't I come to see you?"
"We only separated in the morning, and there was no day at all. What's more, there is no need to talk to me sweetly. I won't do this."
Ren Ruyi covered up the joy that had just appeared, and said in a feigned indifference and disdain.
"This is not just rhetoric. I am really worried about you. After all, when you get here, I know you will definitely take action."
"I know Zhu Yiwei better than you, so there's no need to worry about me."
But she didn't know that Zhou Chen was worried not only about Zhu Yiwei, but also Qian Zhao and others. In the plot, it was Qian Zhao who discovered Ren Ruyi's identity and ambushed Ren Ruyi in the post house, almost killing Ren Ruyi.
.
His arrival changed a lot, but he still had to be on guard, so soon after entering Xu City, he quietly came to look for Ren Ruyi.
"Candy buyer, this is not your style."
"I just lost my temper and slapped Yang Ying. I bought this for her."
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "It seems that she really said the wrong thing, otherwise she wouldn't have made you lose your composure. Also, she is very easy to coax. She can get over with a slap or a candy man."
As he said that, he asked the vendor for another puppy-shaped candy figure, paid for it, and handed it to Ren Ruyi.
"what?"
"Here you eat."
Ren Ruyi said angrily: "I'm not a child."
"Who stipulates that candy cane can only be eaten by children? You are my child's mother. It is only natural that I buy the candy for you." Zhou Chen said confidently.
Ren Ruyi was speechless when he heard Zhou Chen say "child's mother" to his left and "child's mother" to his right. He started yelling at the child even before he had even finished his horoscope. He was really shameless.
However, she surprisingly didn't find it annoying, she just felt helpless and interesting.
She still took the candy man handed over by Zhou Chen, put it in her mouth in front of Zhou Chen, and took a gentle lick.
"It is too sweet."
"Really? Let me have a taste."
"This is the one I've eaten before. If you want to eat it, can't you buy another one?"
"It's okay, I don't dislike you."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was really leaning towards him to eat, Ren Ruyi pushed him away, gave him a fierce look, and walked forward.
"I despise you."
It was fine before, but after that night, she found that Zhou Chen really didn't hide anything in front of her. He didn't regard himself as an outsider at all. He opened his mouth to talk about all kinds of intimacy, as if the two of them were really a family.
People.
Zhou Chen just pretended to catch up with Ren Ruyi who was in front of him, and stood side by side with her, preparing to go back to the post house together.
In the courtyard of the dilapidated post house, Qian Zhao put his signature heavy sword Kunwu on the ground, holding a whetstone in one hand and sharpening the blade with a stern expression.
Apart from him, there was no one else in the courtyard.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the action of sharpening the knife suddenly paused, and then his eyes became very sharp and his expression became more grim.
But when the footsteps approached, he frowned slightly and glanced sideways in confusion, and then his expression changed greatly.
Ren Ruyi walked into the post house with Zhou Chen. Although she said that the puppy candy that Zhou Chen bought was too sweet, she had already eaten most of it and her mouth was full of sweetness.
"Why are you the only one, where are the others?"
Ren Ruyi felt strange that she had only been out for more than an hour and everyone was still there when she left. Why was Qian Zhao the only one left now?
Qian Zhao did not answer her, but looked at Zhou Chen: "Aren't you at the caravan? Why did you come with her?"
"Of course you are here to find my child's mother. Why, you don't welcome me?"
Zhou Chen had a smile on his face, and Qian Zhao's reaction was noticed by him. Considering the current situation, it was not difficult for him to guess that although the plot had changed a bit, Qian Zhao was still keen to discover Ren Ruyi's flaw.
In fact, with Ren Ruyi's caution, she shouldn't have been easily followed. It was only because she had been in the mission for a long time that she had no precautions against the people in the mission, so she was followed by Qian Zhao and Sun Lang.
"No, it's just weird."
Qian Zhao spoke calmly and sent everyone away. This was his ultimate attack on Ren Ruyi, but the appearance of Zhou Chen disrupted his plan, so he was hesitant now.
Yang Ying went to the banquet, and many of the guards of the mission followed Yu Shisan to protect him. Only he and Sun Lang stayed.
Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen were both very strong in martial arts. He and Sun Lang were very confident in dealing with Ren Ruyi, but if Zhou Chen was added to the mix, they would have absolutely no chance of winning.
As for revealing Ren Ruyi's identity, he never thought about whether Zhou Chen would switch sides, because he knew very well that it was basically impossible.
No one in the entire mission could see the relationship between Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi. What's more, he suspected that Zhou Chen might have known Ren Ruyi's identity for a long time and had just kept it hidden from them.
Zhou Chen suddenly said: "Qian Zhao, the murderous aura in your body has overflowed."
Qian Zhao clenched the heavy knife: "Zhou Chen..."
But before he could continue speaking, a flying shield suddenly shot out, heading straight for Ren Ruyi.
"retreat."
Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi flew back at the same time, avoiding the sudden blow, and landed behind a tree two feet away. The blade of the flying shield came out and flew past the tree trunk. A figure fell from the roof and caught this
Flying shield.
Qian Zhao no longer hesitated and stood up holding the Kunwu knife tightly. Sun Lang fell beside him, holding the knife in one hand and a shield in the other, staring at Ren Ruyi with a fierce look.
Ren Ruyi's expression was cold, looking at the two men full of murderous intent, and asked coldly: "Why?"
Qian Zhao also said coldly: "Because you are a spy sent by Zhu Yiwei."
"I'm not."
Ren Ruyi answered loudly, but they didn't believe it at all.
Sun Lang shouted loudly: "You still want to make excuses. We all saw you contact Zhu Yiwei twice. You were still helping Shen Tuchi in the government office, and you dared to slap His Highness."
"Zhou Chen, she is Zhu Yiwei's spy. We have to capture her here today. Do you still want to protect her?" Qian Zhao shouted at Zhou Chen.
Ren Ruyi also looked at Zhou Chen, his face expressionless, but his eyes were not calm at all.
Zhou Chen took two steps forward, stood in front of Ren Ruyi, and looked directly at Qian Zhao and Sun Lang.
"She is not Zhu Yiwei's spy, I can testify."
Sun Lang shouted angrily: "We all saw with our own eyes her contact with Zhu Yiwei's people, and you still want to speak for her. Zhou Chen, you are really fascinated by this witch, and you don't even have the most basic judgment."
Yet?"
"She is not Zhu Yiwei's spy. The reason why she contacted Zhu Yiwei is not to betray the mission. I know this. Besides me, Ning Yuanzhou and Yuan Lu also know Ruyi's identity."
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, both Qian Zhao and Sun Lang looked incredulous.
"What, you and Ning Tou'er both know her identity? Impossible, Zhou Chen, you can't lie to us. Liu Daotang and Zhu Yiwei have a blood feud. How could Ning Tou'er let her know her identity?
Joining the mission, can you even say such ridiculous things in order to protect this witch?"
Sun Lang was very excited and didn't believe what Zhou Chen said at all.
Zhou Chen saw Sun Lang's excitement, so he said to Qian Zhao: "Qian Zhao, think about it carefully. Ruyi knows Anguo so well. If Ning Yuanzhou doesn't know her identity, how can she let her teach the princess?
?”
"Shut up, no matter what you say, it can't change her identity as Zhu Yiwei. Qian Zhao, don't listen to his nonsense. He was just stunned by the witch."
Sun Lang didn't listen to Zhou Chen's explanation at all, but emphasized loudly to Qian Zhao.
Qian Zhao's hatred for Zhu Yiwei was no less than that of Sun Lang, so even if he knew that what Zhou Chen said might be the truth, he could not really give up taking action out of hatred.
"I only believe what I saw with my own eyes. Zhou Chen, although you have quit Liudaotang now, don't forget that Liudaotang was once your home. Sun Lang's father was forced off the cliff by Zhu Yiwei.
Chai Ming and his Tiandao brothers, as well as thousands of Dawubai names who died on this battlefield, were all killed by An Guo and Zhu Yiwei."
Sun Lang shouted excitedly: "Yes, if Zhu Yiwei hadn't bribed Eunuch Hu to steal the military plane map, how could the 50,000-strong army have been completely defeated? Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you still want to defend her. Have you forgotten that you are
Is a member of Dawu a member of the Six Paths Hall?"
Zhou Chen was not moved at all. It was not that he had no empathy, but that he had experienced more tragic things than this, so everyone was left to their own devices.
"I know everything you said, but Ruyi quit Zhu Yiwei five years ago, and what you said has nothing to do with her. As for the defeat of Tianmen Pass, isn't the culprit our captured Majesty?
?If he hadn't doted on the eunuch, how could he have suffered such a defeat?"
"Shut up, you dare to disrespect His Majesty and be so stubborn. If you still regard us as brothers, then get out of the way. We don't expect you to help us, but don't hinder us either."
Sun Lang and Qian Zhao were no longer patient, and Ren Ruyi was unwilling to hide behind Zhou Chen, so she stepped forward.
"This is my business. You don't need to help me. They can't catch me alone."
But how could Zhou Chen really be indifferent? He grabbed Ren Ruyi's wrist.
"You are the mother of my child. How could I not care about you? Qian Zhao and Sun Lang. If you want to take action against Ruyi, you should get through me first."
Qian Zhao shouted angrily: "Sex makes you stupid."
Sun Lang shouted: "Then don't blame us for ignoring our comrades."
The two of them raised their weapons at the same time and attacked Ren Ruyi. Ren Ruyi's eyes flashed with coldness and he faced Qian Zhao without any fear. Zhou Chen naturally would not let Ren Ruyi take the initiative to face Qian Zhao, one against two.
Qian Zhao and Sun Lang are both good at martial arts, but Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi are stronger. In a one-on-one situation, they have no chance of winning.
Qian Zhao's heavy sword is very lethal, but it also limits his movements. Zhou Chen has no weapons, but his body is agile and fast, like a swimming dragon. He has no way of touching Zhou Chen's methods, but is instead overwhelmed by Zhou Chen's powerful power.
Continuous retreat.
While Zhou Chen was dealing with Qian Zhao, he was also paying attention to the fight between Ren Ruyi and Sun Lang.
As an assassin, Ren Ruyi's most powerful skill is naturally her killing skills. Head-on confrontation may not be her strongest ability, but she is not weak either. At least when she fought Sun Lang head-on, she not only did not fall at a disadvantage, but also took the initiative.
Seeing the two of them fighting for several rounds, Ren Ruyi suddenly took the sword with his bare hands, took the knife from Sun Lang's hand, and scratched Sun Lang with the knife.
"As you wish, please show mercy."
"snort."
Ren Ruyi snorted lightly, but still listened to Zhou Chen's words, and did not act harshly again, but just struggled with Sun Lang.
When Qian Zhao saw Sun Lang being suppressed by Ren Ruyi and even injured, his face was filled with eagerness, but he himself couldn't get past Zhou Chen. Every time he wanted to help Sun Lang, Zhou Chen forced him back and he couldn't get close at all.
Over there, he was so anxious that he was furious.
"Zhou Chen, get out of the way."
Zhou Chen fought with him with ease, not greedy for merit, but just entangled him.
"Don't get excited. Ruyi won't really hurt Sun Lang. In fact, you can say whatever you want. But you guys don't listen at all and insist on taking action. It's really hurtful. What I just said is all
The truth is, Ning Yuanzhou really knows Ruyi's identity and has reached a cooperation with Ruyi. If he knew that you were attacking Ruyi, he would definitely not agree."
But Qian Zhao couldn't listen to him at all, so he used his inner strength and used force again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through Zhou Chen. Instead, his anger accumulated more and more, and his moves began to deform.
