The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 1395 Assassin Ren Xin, the protagonists gather together
Zhou Chen, Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi were all extremely brave and could fight against many enemies at once.

Although Ning Yuanzhou was besieged and hunted, he did not take any ruthless action out of consideration for their old friendship and just faced the enemy with his bare hands.

But Zhou Chen didn't care about that. Anyone who drew a sword against him with murderous intent would be killed without hesitation. Even if the person didn't die, he would at least be disabled.

Not to mention Ren Ruyi, she was originally the top assassin of Zhuyiwei. Even without her internal strength, her killing skills were still amazing. In just a short while, five or six people died at her hands, and this was when she didn't have any special weapons.

But this time, Lou Qingqiang brought a large number of elite troops from Liudao Hall, and a steady stream of people continued to surround and kill the four people.

Ning Yuanzhou slapped the two people who were blocking him away with one palm, and shouted at Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi: "Take Yuanlu away first, I will follow later."

Zhou Chen nodded at Ren Ruyi, and Ren Ruyi was also very decisive. Under Zhou Chen's cover, he pulled Yuanlu and quickly retreated.

Zhou Chen faced the besiegers calmly. His internal strength had not yet reached a small level of success, but it depended on who he was compared with. In this low-level martial arts world of Yi Nian Guan Shan, his current internal strength was definitely outstanding.

What's more, facing these minions did not consume much of his internal energy at all, because just relying on his physical fitness that was several times superior to that of ordinary people, combined with the Xiangyi Tai Sword and Posa Step, was enough to deal with them. His internal energy had been well preserved, so he was not afraid even if it was a protracted battle.

Lou Qingqiang stood behind the crowd, watching Zhou Chen and Ning Yuanzhou killing everyone with a frown on his face.

Ning Yuanzhou would be fine, everyone in Liudaotang knows how skilled Ning Yuanzhou is in martial arts, and no one in Liudaotang can be his match.

But how come Zhou Chen suddenly became so powerful? His swordsmanship was exquisite and his body movements were swift and agile. In fact, there were more people besieging Zhou Chen than Ning Yuanzhou, but Zhou Chen seemed to be more at ease than Ning Yuanzhou.

There are a lot of people on their side, but it is impossible for them to rush forward all at once. In the melee, there is a high possibility that their own people will be injured.

Lou Qingqiang immediately and decisively gave an order.

"Crossbowmen, shoot."

But the people around him looked confused: "But that's Lord Ning."

Lou Qingqiang turned his head and shouted in a cold voice: "Do you believe that I will break all the bones in your body?"

Ren Ruyi, who was fleeing, paused when he heard these words, turned around and looked at Lou Qingqiang, with astonishing murderous intent in his eyes.

But she only paused for two breaths, and then continued to pull Yuanlu to run, without getting excited at all.

More than a dozen Taoists from the Six Paths Hall took out their bows and crossbows and shot at Zhou Chen and Ning Yuanzhou.

The lethality of archers is stronger than that of close-combat siege. Zhou Chen used the Posuo Step to dodge with ease, and also swung his sword to stab the besiegers.

The crossbow arrow did not hurt him, but instead injured several people who were besieging him.

Ning Yuanzhou dodged and saw this scene, and shouted loudly: "Zhou Chen, stop fighting, and leave quickly."

The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly chased in the direction of Ren Ruyi and Yuanlu's retreat, but they were forced to stop before they ran far.

In front of them, they saw dozens of imperial guards wearing armor and holding bows and arrows, blocking all their routes of retreat, while Lou Qingqiang and others in the back also surrounded them from behind.

Faced with the pincer attack, Ning Yuanzhou looked solemn, but Zhou Chen calmly made a sword flower.

"Even the Imperial Guards have been dispatched. It seems they are here for you."

Ning Yuanzhou curled his lips: "Stop making sarcastic remarks. I am sorry for causing trouble for you this time."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Don't be so polite. They surrounded you but didn't attack. Obviously they didn't want to kill you. Since you can't run away, then talk to them."

As he spoke, Zhang Song slowly walked out from behind the imperial guards with his hands behind his back and a teasing smile on his face.

"Master Ning, how are you?"

Ning Yuanzhou was not surprised to see Zhang Song. He just bowed and said, "Prime Minister, long time no see."

Zhang Song said, "I asked Zhao Ji to invite you, but this loser couldn't even do this job and lost his life. I have no choice but to come to you in person."

Ning Yuanzhou said: "It is my honor to have the Prime Minister come in person."

Zhang Song suddenly looked at Zhou Chen: "I was wrong before. You are the one who killed Zhao Ji, right?"

Zhou Chen had a blank expression on his face and did not speak. He just sheathed his sword. Before, when he was in Liudaotang, he would still pretend to be submissive, but now, he didn't even want to put on an act.

Zhang Song was a very shrewd man. He was naturally very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude, but he did not show it on his face.

Ning Yuanzhou didn't want Zhou Chen to have a conflict with Zhang Song, so he took the initiative to resolve the situation.

"I wonder why the Prime Minister came to see me personally?"

Zhang Song understood what Ning Yuanzhou meant. Thinking that he still had to rely on Ning Yuanzhou to rescue people, he did not settle accounts with Zhou Chen about Zhao Ji. Compared to a dead Zhao Ji, the captured Emperor Wu and his own power were the top priorities at the moment.

"Have a cup of tea, please!"

Ning Yuanzhou couldn't refuse, so he turned around and winked at Zhou Chen and the other two, telling them to be careful and not to mess around, then he took a step forward and prepared to go over.

Seeing this, Lou Qingqiang walked out of the crowd and prepared to protect Zhang Song, but just as he passed by Ren Ruyi, a cold light flashed in Ren Ruyi's eyes, and as fast as lightning, his hand slashed across Lou Qingqiang's throat.

This sudden scene was so shocking that the faces of everyone present changed. Many people in Liudaotang even screamed in shock and wanted to draw their weapons.

Zhang Song shouted in time: "Stop." This stopped everyone from moving.

If we were to say who was the most confused person, it would definitely be the person involved, Lou Qingqiang. The severe pain in his neck made him overwhelmed. He raised his hand and touched the wound on his neck. Blood soaked his fingers. He slowly turned his head, just glanced at Ren Ruyi, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

He never understood until his death why Ren Ruyi wanted to kill him and why he dared to kill him, so he died with his eyes open.

Ren Ruyi looked at him falling to the ground with cold eyes, dropped the bamboo leaf in his hand, and said coldly: "The first one."

Zhou Chen crossed his arms and said softly, "That's decisive."

Now is indeed the best opportunity. Ren Ruyi seized the opportunity very accurately. If he didn't act now, even if he could succeed in killing Lou Qingqiang again in the future, it would definitely take a lot of effort.

Although Ning Yuanzhou had known for a long time that Ren Ruyi was no simple person, he was still shocked at this moment. He winked at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen understood what he meant, but just smiled slightly and didn't care.

Yuanlu opened his mouth slightly. He was really scared. How could Sister Ruyi, who looked so soft and pitiful in his eyes, be so fierce?

The atmosphere became tense. Fortunately, Zhang Song didn't care about Lou Qingqiang's life or death. Instead, he warned everyone.

"Listen to me, you must not be rude to Hall Master Ning's friends. Hall Master Ning, please."

Zhang Song and Ning Yuanzhou walked to a pavilion nearby to drink tea, while Zhou Chen and the other two stood not far away. They were surrounded by the Imperial Guards and people from the Six Paths Hall, and they didn't even put down their bows and crossbows.

Although Zhang Song told everyone not to be rude, he still surrounded Zhou Chen and the other two, not giving them a chance to escape. It could also be said that he was using them to threaten Ning Yuanzhou.

After Ren Ruyi wiped Yuan Lu's wound, he glanced at Zhang Song and Ning Yuanzhou who were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion and drinking tea, and then asked Zhou Chen who seemed to be watching the fun.

"You're not worried at all?"

"Are you worried that Zhang Song will attack us? Don't worry, he is a politician who puts his own interests first. Killing us will not benefit him except that he can vent his anger a little. He set up a trap not to kill people, but to save people."

"Rescue?"

Ren Ruyi was surprised and didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant.

Zhou Chen said: "You may not know yet, the battle between An and Wu at Tianmen Pass has ended, and our Emperor Wu was defeated and captured seven days ago."

As soon as this was said, Ren Ruyi immediately understood.

"You mean to say that your Prime Minister Zhang wants Ning Yuanzhou to go to Anguo to rescue Emperor Wu? Does Ning Yuanzhou have such great ability?"

The Zhuyi Guards and the Liudaotang are sworn enemies. She had heard of Ning Yuanzhou a long time ago, but had never met him before, and she didn't know how powerful he was.

"Ning Yuanzhou once lurked in Anguo. If we were to ask who in the entire Wuguo had the best chance of rescuing Emperor Wu from Anguo, he would be ranked first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanlu next to him complained dissatisfiedly: "Brother Zhou, why do you tell everything to others?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Ruyi is one of us now. She won't go out and say anything."

Ren Ruyi snorted coldly: "You and I are not from the same family. If this hadn't happened, we would have parted ways long ago."

"We haven't parted ways yet. You're going back to Anguo anyway. Maybe we can continue to be together in the future."

"how do you know……"

Ren Ruyi was about to question, but suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He glared at Zhou Chen in displeasure and simply stopped talking.

But she was really confused in her heart. How come Zhou Chen seemed to know her so well? He even knew her next move and that she was going back to Anguo? But she was sure that she had never seen Zhou Chen before.

In the pavilion, Zhang Song and Ning Yuanzhou had already started talking. Zhang Song explained his purpose to Ning Yuanzhou and asked him to rush to Anguo to bring back Emperor Wu.

Of course Ning Yuanzhou refused outright. If he had not experienced the Battle of Tianmen Pass, he might still have hope for Emperor Wu and Dawu. But now, he had personally experienced the Battle of Tianmen Pass and had long lost trust in Emperor Wu. He had no good feelings towards the powerful minister Zhang Song at all. Of course, he was unwilling to go to Anguo.

But since Zhang Song had come, how could he just end it because of Ning Yuanzhou's refusal? He threatened Ning Yuanzhou by saying that the envoy going to Anguo to welcome the emperor was Princess Yang Ying.

Ning Yuanzhou was good friends with Princess Yang Ying, who always called him brother, so Zhang Song used Yang Ying as a bargaining chip and even made harsh remarks.

"If you still want to refuse, I will let the princess die now. In fact, I don't care who sits on this dragon throne, but I will never allow anyone to challenge my power over Daogu."

These words were disrespectful to the emperor and extremely treasonous, but Zhang Song said them in front of Ning Yuanzhou without any scruples.

Afterwards, he issued another threat, saying that he had buried gunpowder on the route that Yang Ying's team had to pass, and that it would ignite and explode as soon as the siren sounded.

Ning Yuanzhou was reluctant to agree. As Zhang Song's countdown began, Yuanlu wanted to stop the release of Mingdi, but he was still a step too late.

The whistling arrow was fired, and soon after, a loud explosion was heard.

The young and energetic Yuan Lu roared at Zhang Song angrily, but Zhang Song didn't take his words seriously at all. He only had Ning Yuanzhou in his eyes.

Ren Ruyi asked Zhou Chen: "I see you don't have any emotions at all, so you're not worried about the princess?"

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "I have no friendship with that princess, why should I worry, not to mention he is not stupid, if he really kills Yang Ying, then there is really no room for negotiation. Ning Yuanzhou is not talking now, but in fact he is about to agree."

Zhang Song was able to become a powerful official second only to the emperor, and his ability to control people's hearts was extraordinary. He knew Ning Yuanzhou's weaknesses and how to exploit them.

After taking advantage of Yang Ying, he talked about the Tiandao Taoist followers in the Tianmen Pass battle and threatened Ning Yuanzhou with their reputation.

In the end, driven by friendship, Ning Yuanzhou agreed to Zhang Song's request and drank the poison, which made Zhang Song completely relieved.

Zhang Song reinstated Ning Yuanzhou to his original post, and even went a step further, making him the new leader of Liudao Hall. He also allowed Ning Yuanzhou to command troops and lead people to Anguo.

"Prime Minister, before that, I want to ask you for something."

"You said."

"My good friend Zhou Chen wants to leave Liudaotang. He hopes the Prime Minister will agree and not put him on the wanted list in the future."

Zhang Song just looked at Zhou Chen in surprise and agreed.

"Okay, I promise you."

After the discussion, the group returned to the city, and Ning Yuanzhou went back to recruit soldiers.

It was not until the evening that everything was settled, and Zhang Song finally withdrew the people who had been monitoring Zhou Chen and the others.

Ren Ruyi proposed to leave overnight, and Zhou Chen sent her out of the city.

They were silent all the way until they reached the outskirts of the city. Ren Ruyi suddenly said, "Thank you. I owe you another favor."

"You mean?"

"Zhao Ji, you killed Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji was originally my second target. If you killed him, it would be like helping me."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If that's the case, then you don't have to worry about it. I killed him for myself, not for you."

Ren Ruyi said: "I don't care, anyway, Zhao Ji died in your hands, for me, that's enough."

"Okay, then I'll accept your favor. Lou Qingqiang is the first one, Zhao Ji is the second one, and the third one seems to be Mr. Yue. I know some information about this Mr. Yue. She is Yue Sanniang, the purple-clothed envoy of the Wuguo branch of the Zhuyi Guard. She usually hides her head and shows her tail, wearing a mask and a cloak. She is about three inches taller than you."

Zhou Chen told Ren Ruyi the specific information about Mr. Yue, and Ren Ruyi listened very carefully.

"Thank you."

"This is the second time you've thanked me. This doesn't really fit with your identity as an assassin."

Ren Ruyi said coldly: "You helped me, I thank you, what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing wrong."

"In that case, let's separate again. I'm leaving."

"Okay, by the way, I should follow the Wu Kingdom's delegation to An Kingdom next. If you also want to go back to An Kingdom, maybe..."

"unnecessary."

Ren Ruyi refused indifferently, then jumped on the horse, swung the reins, and rode away.

Watching her leaving, Zhou Chen smiled slightly. He would join the delegation, and would also let Ren Ruyi join the delegation. In this way, the journey would not be boring.

Zhou Chen quietly returned to Liudao Hall and just in time saw Ning Yuanzhou gathering his team and discussing matters.

Ning Yuanzhou heard it as soon as he approached.

"come on."

"I thought you were going to charge me with trespassing into the Six Paths Hall. After all, I am no longer a member of the Six Paths Hall."

Zhou Chen walked out slowly. He was very familiar with Liudao Hall, so it was very easy for him to come in without alerting other people.

When they saw Zhou Chen appear, several people had different expressions. Although Zhou Chen knew Qian Zhao and Sun Lang, they were not very familiar with each other. His relationship with Yu Shisan was slightly better, after all, they were once cellmates.

So when Yu Shisan saw Zhou Chen, he immediately stood up, pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted: "Zhou Chen, you still have the nerve to appear in front of me. I still remember how you abandoned me and left alone."

Facing the gossipy gaze, Zhou Chen said, "Can you blame me for this? I didn't have the ability to release you at the time, and I can't afford to offend Minister Liu."

Yu Shisan said angrily, "You are not a brother. You came out on your own and never thought of sending me something good to eat and drink. Do you know how hard my life was in prison?"

"I see you're living a pretty comfortable life. There are so many ladies and young ladies in the prison vying for your favor."

"What do you know? That's my personal charm. I don't care. You left me to die without saving me. If you don't compensate me well, I won't let it go."

Ning Yuanzhou said at the right time: "Yu Shisan, if you want to fight Zhou Chen, then I have to advise you, he is not the same as before, Zhao Ji was killed by him, you must not ask for trouble."

Yuanlu nodded repeatedly like a supporting actor. He had witnessed Zhou Chen's power with his own eyes. His swordsmanship was so amazing. He had never seen such exquisite swordsmanship before.

"Hiss, you killed Zhao Ji?"

Yu Shisan's face was filled with shock. He was familiar with Zhou Chen and knew how good Zhou Chen's martial arts were half a year ago. He was even more aware of Zhao Ji's martial arts, so he was shocked.

Qian Zhao and Sun Lang were also surprised. Zhou Chen was from Senluo Palace. Except for Ning Yuanzhou, the other members of Senluo Palace were not famous for their martial arts. If what Ning Yuanzhou said was true, then Zhou Chen's martial arts should not be underestimated.
