Chu Zheng returned to Tang Ganjiang's mansion. Chu Mingtang and others had not left yet Chu Zheng looked at it and found that Fang Lingxin had come at some point.
Chu Zheng walked up to salute and said: Have you met the Prime Minister
Fang Lingxin smiled and helped Chu Zheng up and looked at him: As expected, the young hero is indeed amazing.
Chu Zheng was puzzled and saw Fang Lingxin’s smile strangely. After looking at Chu Mingtang, Chu Mingtang also smiled bitterly.
It turned out that when Chu Mingtang learned that the mansion was indeed an assassin who assassinated Liang Shangyun, he sent someone to inform Fang Lingxin quickly, saying that the whereabouts of the assassin had been discovered.
After all, Fang Lingxin was the prime minister of the current dynasty and was in charge of this matter. The two families of Chu were not as hostile as before. Chu Mingtang invited him, and the memorial could be written as follows: The Prime Minister and the Grand Marshal were personally on the front line of the formation, and the command was determined to kill all the criminals who assassinated Lord Liang.
In this way, everyone is happy
The Ministry of Justice is not far from here. After receiving the news, Fang Lingxin stopped even sitting in a sedan chair. He transferred a carriage and rushed over with his generals.
In addition, Fang Lingxin walked off the carriage and happened to see Chu Zheng crossing the wall and chasing Wu Anran.
Chu Zheng was extremely fast, and of course Fang Lingxin couldn't see clearly, but there were a few masters among the guards around him.
One of them was named Tie Nanxing, who was also a famous master in Zhao State. He was definitely not under the tributes of the Eagle and Wolf Hall. He followed Fang Lingxin yesterday and saw Chu Zheng, and couldn't help but exclaim: What a light skill, isn't this the fifth son of the Taiwei family?
Fang Lingxin was shocked when he heard this and asked: Are you reading it wrong?
Tie Nanxing said: There is absolutely nothing, but I also feel strange. How could he, a young master of the official family, practice martial arts to such an extent
Fang Lingxin hurriedly asked: How does he compare to you, Mr. Tie?
For people in the martial arts world, Fang Lingxin asked what it was rude, but Tie Nanxing knew that Fang Lingxin was not familiar with martial arts, so hesitated for a while and said: Just in terms of light skills, the young master of the Chu family is definitely not under me.
Fang Lingxin knew that Tie Nanxing's martial arts were definitely the top among the Fang family. When he heard that he actually admired Chu Zheng so much, he was shocked.
After seeing Chu Mingtang, Lingxin asked about the situation. He knew that all these assassins had been wiped out except for one person, and the origin of the assassin had been found, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The matter was finally settled. As for the emperor's belief or not, he would let him.
Fang Lingxin's heart had already come to the ground, so he asked Chu Mingtang indirectly about Chu Zheng's affairs.
After hearing a few words, Chu Mingtang knew what was going on. He couldn't help but complain, secretly scolding Chu Zheng for not knowing the importance of it and showing off his limelight.
Chu Mingtang wanted to vaguely over it. What a person Fang Lingxin is? What's more, the three major families have never been good at martial arts. The Chu family has such a person, why don't he figure it out.
The two giants are fighting intrigue. Chu Zheng, the protagonist, came back, Fang Lingxin hurriedly pulled him aside, trying to draw the truth from him.
Chu Mingtang quickly coughed and said, Zheng'er, come here, this is Mr. Tie Nanxing. He just saw you crossing the wall and chasing the thief. He admired your martial arts very much. Mr. Tie is a famous master in the martial arts world of my Great Zhao. You should ask for more advice.
Fang Lingxin snorted next to him
Chu Zheng's two generations of age is not much younger than him. Chu Mingtang reminded him again. He quickly understood Fang Lingxin's intention and couldn't help but feel extremely impressed.
Suddenly, a sharp voice saved Chu Zheng: The emperor is here!
When Chu Mingtang and Fang Lingxin saw that the emperor was coming, they were shocked. The emperor was not in good health in the past two years and rarely left the palace. Unexpectedly, they came here in person for these assassins.
Fang Lingxin asked in a low voice: Mingtang, did you inform the emperor?
Chu Mingtang shook his head and said: I just asked someone to inform the rotating officials in the court. After all, a large number of imperial guards will be used today, but I did not report to the emperor. The emperor must have known it from the rotating officials.
King Zhao's dragon chassis had arrived, and Chu Mingtang and Fang Lingxin led everyone to worship: I will meet the emperor
Chu Zheng secretly looked behind his father and saw that the emperor's face was sick and his eyes were dull. If he hadn't worn a dragon robe, he would have been a bad old man.
Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel strange. Logically speaking, the emperor is not much older than his father, so why does he look so much worse than his appearance.
A beautiful woman in palace dress stood beside King Zhao
Chu Zheng glanced at her and felt familiar. After careful examination, he realized that the woman was actually Zhao Min.
However, Chu Zheng had seen her several times before wearing a strong outfit. At this time, she was wearing a princess outfit, but she couldn't recognize her for a while.
After a few months, Zhao Min had lost a lot of weight and looked a little haggard. She recognized Chu Zheng from the crowd at a glance. When the two of them looked, Zhao Min couldn't help but blush and she lowered her head.
King Zhao covered his mouth and coughed several times, saying: Two dear ministers, I heard that the murderer who assassinated Liang Shangyun of the Ministry of Justice was in this mansion. Has this matter been confirmed?
Chu Mingtang stepped forward and said: Reporting to the emperor, the matter has been confirmed, and the assassin has been captured in total.
Helian Xuechu Mingtang, who was rescued just now, did not count him. He always felt that the man could not be caught.
King Zhao said: Oh? Did you find out who was instructing him?
Chu Mingtang said: It has been verified that these assassins are from the Western Regions. My ministers have ordered people to bring them to confession based on one of them. They were ordered by the King of Western Qin to come to our State of Great Zhao, in an attempt to assassinate the important officials in our court and provoke internal chaos in our court.
King Zhao pondered: Western Qin? That yellow-haired child has always been desperate to fight against our thief. This time, he used such a despicable trick again.
King Zheng Jiong of Western Qin ascended the throne at the age of fifteen or sixteen. King Zhao has always been quite disdainful of him. Now King Zheng Jiong of Qin is already a young man in his twenties, but in the eyes of King Zhao, he is still just a yellow-haired boy.
A glimmer flashed through King Zhao's turbid eyes, and he looked up and said: Fang Prime Minister, I will send my will to escort all the Western Qin envoys in the territory of Great Zhao to the border of Zhao Qin, cut off his ear and expel him from the country, and never step into Great Zhao again.
Chu Mingtang hurriedly stepped forward and said: The emperor, arrogance, thinks that Western Qin secretly sent people to assassinate our important ministers of Great Zhao and expel their envoys, but I think this move is inappropriate. My Zhao also has envoys in Qin. If this is true, the envoys of Great Zhao will inevitably be humiliated, and this move will not help increase our prestige.
Fang Lingxin also said: I think the words of the Taiwei of Chu are reasonable, so please think twice.
King Zhao said intimately that you two knew that you two would sing together, but thinking about Chu Mingtang's words were reasonable, he said helplessly: Well, I will only expel the envoy of Western Qin from the country.
Chu Mingtang and Fang Lingxin bowed their orders
King Zhao looked at these two people and said unhappy no matter how they looked at them, he said angrily: Taiwei Chu, how did these assassins get into the capital, and how did you find out?
Chu Mingtang said how the people from the Demon Sect killed Tang Ganjiang and pretended to be an official in Beijing. He also said: Emperor, these assassins are cunning and cunning, fortunately, the Minister of Personnel, Tang, and found out that Tang Ganjiang had been sick at home since he entered Beijing and never saw outsiders. He reported to the weak ministers.
I thought that the Imperial Guard had searched the entire city yesterday, but there was no trace of assassins. The only ones who had not searched were the residences of officials in the court. Tang Ganjiang was so strange. I also thought that something must be strange. I ordered the Imperial Guard to search for the Emperor's Hong Fu this morning. These assassins were indeed here. Lord Tang and the Imperial Guard General Chu commanded the Imperial Guard bravely to kill the enemy, and then they beat all the assassins in one fell swoop.
Tang Xiaokang was secretly grateful in his heart. With Chu Mingtang's help, the difficulty finally passed.
King Zhao has been emperor for more than 20 years, and he has seen many tricks of ministers. He knows that Chu Mingtang's words are unrealistic, but he has no way to investigate them. He said: Although Tang Xiaokang has made great contributions in this matter, he also has a crime of inadvertent punishment in advance. You have not been in court for a month. You have not heard of it and punished you from a first-rank official to a first-rank official. You are still the Minister of Personnel to be the Minister of Personnel.
Tang Xiaokang leaned over and said: Thank you, Emperor
King Zhao looked up at everyone, and saw a young man standing behind Chu Mingtang. He couldn't help but feel moved and said: Taiwei Chu, is your youngest son Chu Zheng behind you?
Chu Mingtang bowed and said: It's the dog's son
King Zhao waved to Chu Zheng and said: Come here
Chu Zheng couldn't help but look at Zhao Min, not knowing what wind she was blowing in the emperor's ear, but why did he even know his name.
Chu Zheng felt a stir in his heart and walked to King Zhao helplessly and said: Xiaomin, please see the emperor.
King Zhao smiled and said: Why do you still call yourself a small civilian? Hasn’t the Ministry of War appointed you as the captain of the Imperial Guard?
Fang Lingxin was stunned. The emperor had no energy in recent years and never paid attention to matters that had nothing to do with the government. Why did he seem to be quite familiar with Chu Mingtang's youngest son? It seems that he had ignored this young man too much before.
Fang Lingxin looked at Chu Zheng, and the more he looked, the more interested he became.
Chu Mingtang was also uneasy. The lieutenant was just a low-level officer in the army. The emperor actually knew about such things that even the minister of the Ministry of War could do. He even said it in public. It won't take long, and the name of Chu Zheng would probably be known to everyone in the court.
Chu Zheng had no choice but to change his words: I will meet the emperor
King Zhao looked at him for a long time and suddenly sighed: No wonder
As soon as this said, everyone was inexplicably only Chu Mingtang and Chu Zheng vaguely knew that the emperor was sighing for Zhao Min. Chu Zheng couldn't help but look at her again. Zhao Min's ears were red and his head was getting lower and lower.
A commotion came not far away, and Chu Shen'an led a team of imperial guards to escort Li Wanshan and others over and kidnap them.
The Imperial Guard General Chu Shen'an met the Emperor
King Zhao looked at it and said: Are these assassins caught?
Chu Shen'an responded: That's right
King Zhao was a little disappointed and said: Why are there only six people?
Chu Shen'an: Report to the emperor, these assassins are extremely fierce. They tried their best to resist the arrest of the Imperial Guards and had no choice but to shoot most of them with bows and arrows. The remaining six people are all the leaders of the assassins.
Chu Shen'an was secretly happy. Chu Mingtang had just told him that all the contributions were recorded on the head of the Imperial Guards he led. He made such a great contribution and was about to become an official and be promoted.
King Zhao whined, and saw that most of the six people had high noses and deep eyes, obviously they were not from the Central Plains.
Seeing that Li Wanshan was the oldest among the few people and dressed quite luxuriously, he pointed at him and said: Is this person the leader of the assassin?
Chu Shen'an showed admiration on his face and said: The emperor is wise. This person's name is Li Wanshan. It was the leader of the assassin, and he also found a token from him, which was engraved with the four words "First-rank" of the Great Inner. Please check it out.
King Zhao took the token from the waiter, looked carefully and said: Yes, this thing is indeed something from the Western Qin Dynasty. This person seems to have a good identity and bring him up. I have something to ask him.
Chu Shenping waved his hand and two soldiers of the Imperial Guards rushed forward with Li Wanshan.
When Chu Zheng saw that the two soldiers were actually played by Chen Zhenzhong and an Eagle Hall master. It must be because Li Wanshan was very skilled in martial arts and was afraid that he would break free.
King Zhao looked at Li Wanshan and said: What's your name Li Wanshan?
Li Wanshan grinned and said: Are you King Zhao?
Chen Zhenzhong shouted: Bold! He punched Li Wanshan on the cheek. Li Wanshan groaned and vomited blood, with a few teeth inside.
King Zhao didn't care and said: Li Wanshan, as long as you answer my honestly, I can order someone to leave you a complete body
Li Wanshan looked weird and said: Since they are all dead, what is the difference between leaving a whole body and shattering a piece of corpse.
Just now, the emperor ordered someone to take Li Wanshan to the front of him and Chu Zheng felt that it was inappropriate. It was just that his official position was low and it was difficult to speak casually.
After all, Chu Zheng was also from the Demon Sect. Wu Anran once told him that many evil kung fu in the Demon Sect, some even fought for their lives. There are several martial arts that can increase their skills several times before dying, just to die with the opponent in an instant.
As the elder of the Demon Sect, Li Wanshan should not be confused
Chu Zheng had no choice but to stare at Li Wanshan, and be alert
But King Zhao still sneered without knowing how to live or die: Is that right? But you know there are many ways in the world that can make you unable to survive or die
Li Wanshan's face turned red and white, and he smiled bitterly: That's just a different way of returning to the same destination.
King Zhao didn't understand: What were you saying?
Li Wanshan said in a deep voice: Even if I, Li Wanshan, suffer from the pain of piercing the snakes and ants eating the heart, in the end, I will only have the word "death". As an emperor, you Zhao Kangping, enjoying the glory and wealth of life, today is also a death, which is called...
Different - path - same - return
Li Wanshan's words "Talk" just now, the rope on his body was broken, and he had already rushed towards King Zhao when he said "Gui".
Chen Zhenzhong was so scared that he was shattered and raised all his strength and punched Li Wanshan.
Li Wanshan did not avoid it, and he was forced to get the punch.
This fist was gathered by Chen Zhenzhong's lifelong skills. Li Wanshan felt that his eyes were dark and he spit out blood. However, with this fist force, Li Wanshan rushed towards King Zhao much faster than before
Li Wanshan looked at King Zhao's panicked old face and was secretly happy, but he didn't expect a figure to suddenly block in front of him.
Li Wanshan recognized him as the boy who had punched Helianxue, and he couldn't help but feel cold. He was strong and his luck was the same as his different paths. His mental method improved his skills several times, but he was originally at the end of his strength. He broke the bull tendon rope and got Chen Zhenzhong's punch and reduced his skills greatly. At this time, he was just a little higher than usual.
Chu Zheng's mood was clear at this time, with his left hand in front of his palm and his right fist retracted behind him. It was the starting style of the five dragon and elephant styles he named himself. The dragon emerged from the abyss
He knew that he could never get out of the way. If the emperor was really killed by Li Wanshan, the Chu family would not be able to clean up even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
Li Wanshan knew that today's success was not big. Although this young man was not his opponent, it was still more than enough to delay for a moment. However, he had no way out and had to slash at Chu Zheng in succession with his palms.
Chu Zheng exhaled and opened his breath, and his fists ran out and connected Li Wanshan's five palms. He felt his eyes turned black, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood rushed into his throat.
Chu Zheng didn't dare to spit it out, for fear that the breath would be discharged as soon as it was spit out, so he had to put it in his mouth and held it in his hands for another six or seven palms, but he felt that Li Wanshan's palm passed by lightly and gradually became soft and weak.
Chu Zheng felt strange, but Li Wanshan's face was pale and his eyes were dissipated. He couldn't help but feel happy. He blocked his palms with his left hand and hit Li Wanshan's chest with his right fist.
Li Wanshan screamed and flew out
Chu Zheng couldn't hold it anymore, and a mouthful of blood finally spurted out
Zhao Min was shocked when she saw this, and didn't care about the princess's etiquette, so she hurried over and hugged Chu Zheng.
Her martial arts skills were not weak at first, but she was just dazed until Chu Zheng and Li Wanshan fought and realized that they could not react.
Li Wanshan barely stood firm and stared at Chu Zheng and said: I have fought with the monks of Lingshan Ancient Temple for a lifetime. I didn’t expect that I would die in the old age under the Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Art. You have already practiced to the fifth level at a young age. As far as I know, it is an unprecedented wall that is not unpredictable. Lingshan Temple will come to find you sooner or later. You should know it yourself.
Chu Zheng didn't understand and said: Where is the Lingshan Ancient Temple?
Li Wanshan refused to answer for a long time. Chu Zheng walked forward with Zhao Min's support and found that he had died.
Suddenly, Chu Zheng heard Chu Mingtang coughing. Chu Zheng looked at his father and saw Chu Mingtang glaring at him, but Fang Lingxin next to him seemed to be smiling.
Chu Zheng then realized that the princess of the dynasty was holding her and holding her, and was in full view of everyone. The expressions of the people around him were strange, some were envious and some were shocked.
Chu Zheng felt his entire right arm squeezed between Zhao Min's breasts and twisted his body unnaturally, full of elasticity. Zhao Min seemed to have noticed it, and let go of Chu Zheng's arm with a embarrassed look on his face.
Just listen to King Zhao: Chu Zheng, come here
Chu Zheng walked to King Zhao and saw that King Zhao looked as usual. He was slightly surprised and thought that the emperor was not useless.
King Zhao looked at him and nodded and said: It's rare to have such courage at a young age.
Chu Zheng politely said: The emperor has praised the emperor for protecting him, and it is the responsibility of the minister.
King Zhao said: Since you already have an official position, I will grant you the deputy general of the Imperial Guard and give you another thousand taels of gold.
Chu Zheng said: Thank you, Your Majesty
King Zhao saw that Chu Zheng was not very happy and said lightly: This kind of reward is probably not rare for you.
Chu Zheng was shocked and hurriedly leaned over and said: "I have no intention of this."
King Zhao looked at Zhao Min and whispered to Chu Zheng: I can't do your best to you for the reward you want, right now, maybe you will have this opportunity
Zhao Min heard what her father said, and was extremely happy, and couldn't help but smile.
Chu Zheng was a little embarrassed when he saw that King Zhao would have a wrong idea. Seeing Zhao Min beside him smiling like a flower, he was a little moved, but when he thought about marrying her, he was a little hesitant.
King Zhao glanced at Chu Shen'an, who was pale next to him and said: Chu Shen'an
Chu Shen'an thrust down and said tremblingly: I am not in charge of the criminal, and I am guilty of
King Zhao snorted and said: Do you understand what you are going to deal with the two banned guard soldiers?
Chu Shenan was speechless. If these two people were really his subordinates, he would kill them without hesitation, but these two people were from Chu's mansion, and he could not afford to offend him.
Seeing that it was related to Chen Zhenzhong's life, Chu Zheng had to bite the bullet and said: Emperor, I think I can't blame the two men for this matter, the fierce assassin just now, the emperor also saw the two soldiers. The two soldiers were not dereliction of duty, but they were just beyond their reach.
King Zhao was as clear as a mirror. Although he was not stupid, the skills that Chen Zhenzhong had just revealed were not something that an ordinary soldier could do. Seeing Chu Zheng pleading for the two of them, he became more and more certain in his heart, and he couldn't help but sneer: Who will bear this crime of dereliction of duty? Can you Chu Shen'an bear it?
Chu Zheng said: But General Chu strives to eliminate the assassin today and has made great contributions.
Seeing Chu Zheng was quite embarrassed, Zhao Min couldn't help but say: Father, my daughter thinks that Mr. Chu's words are reasonable. This thief Li Wanshan's daughter has also heard of her name for a long time. She is one of the three elders of the Western Region Demon Sect. She is indeed a master in the world. No wonder General Chu.
King Zhao couldn't help but feel angry
It was extremely inappropriate for Zhao Min to support her without regard for the princess's honor. Unexpectedly, she spoke to Chu Zheng in public at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the two must have a private relationship at a glance.
The Chu family is in great power. Who else dares to marry her except Chu Zheng in the future?
But looking at her daughter's thin little face, King Zhao felt a little soft-hearted and said to her, she would let her like anyone else. It would be better than being alone like her aunt for the rest of her life.
King Zhao said: OK, Chu Shen'an's merits and demerits have been rejected. The Ministry of War did not remember the person who came on the case, so he took the lead back to the palace.
The eunuch beside him screamed: Get on!
Chu Zheng bowed his hand and said to Zhao Min softly: Princess, thank you
Zhao Min said: Thank you, you saved your father. It is my palace who thanked you. He asked again: How are your injuries?
Chu Zheng said: Thank you, the princess for your concern, I am no longer in trouble
Zhao Min looked at him and said: I didn't expect you to be so slap in this way. It was okay if you got beaten by my aunt that day.
Chu Zheng chuckled and said: What's this? I took your aunt's slap again last night. Isn't it still fine today?
Since Chu Zheng knew that Zhao Min had something to do with him, he knew the little girl's thoughts and no longer was hesitant to be respectful.
Zhao Min gave him a blank look and said: Bragging
Chu Zheng said: If you don’t believe me, ask your aunt to go
Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Zhao Min couldn't help but open her eyes: Are you saying true?
Chu Zheng nodded and suddenly said: Princess, can you beg your aunt for me? Don't stare at me anymore
Zhao Min chuckled softly: Are you afraid of my aunt?
Chu Zheng nodded repeatedly. He was really afraid of this woman who could easily take his life.
King Zhao couldn't wait and called out in a deep voice: Min'er
Zhao Min stuck out her tongue and said: I'll go back and try it, but my aunt is not just listening to others' advice. You should ask for good luck. After saying that, she smiled and turned around and left.
Chu Zheng watched Zhao Min go away, and suddenly a burst of millet was hit on his head.
Chu Zheng was furious, clenched his fists and looked back at the guy who had been brave enough to find the guy who had been brave enough to see his father walking past him with a calm face, and shouted in a low voice: Don't you go back to your house yet?
Chu Zheng let go of his fist and followed Chu Mingtang obediently
When he returned to the mansion, Chu Mingtang took Chu Zheng to the study room and asked: Where is your master?
Chu Zheng laughed and said: My father has guessed it, why bother asking the child again
Chu Zhengyu didn't even want to hide this from his father. With Chu Mingtang's shrewdness, he probably had doubts about it before Tang Ganjiang Mansion.
Chu Mingtang nodded and said: It turns out that she is the leader of the Blood Shadow Sect, and she must have contact with the Western Region Demon Sect. Have you and the two gentlemen Long Lu caught up with her?
Chu Zheng replied: The child has caught up with her, but he didn't let the two seniors Long Lu know.
Chu Mingtang knew that Chu Zheng was protecting his master and asked: Did she decide to go away forever?
Chu Zheng said: She originally had this intention, but the child tried hard to persuade him, and the master agreed to go back to his house soon.
Chu Mingtang asked: Where is her now?
Chu Zheng thought for a while and said: At this time, he should send Helianxue out of the city.
Chu Mingtang said: My Chu family treats her well, why did he do this?
Chu Zheng said: Na Helianxue was the master’s savior back then, and the master couldn’t bear to see him suffer, so he rescued him.
Chu Mingtang said angrily: But where did she do this?
Chu Zheng looked at his father and said: Father, you and Uncle Guo, the Minister of War, were close friends back then. Although you have already had evil things now, if someone wants to kill Uncle Guo, will you help me?
Chu Mingtang said silently
The master knew that if she took action, the Chu family might not have tolerated him anymore, Chu Zheng continued, but she still rescued Helianxue without hesitation. It can be seen that the master is a kind person who is in love. If he puts himself in his shoes, the child will do the same.
Chu Mingtang said: Your master is now a member of our Chu Mansion. The state has national laws and family rules. If this matter is not handled, how can you convince the public in the future if you are a father?
Chu Zheng said: The child also knows the truth, so he avoided the two seniors Long Lu at that time, just to prevent his father from making things difficult for him. The child begs his father not to investigate the matter.
Chu Mingtang said: Then how can you justify your master? She has not shown up in the past few days, and Li Changxiao and others have doubts
Chu Zheng said indifferently: The mansion knows that the master is only a few people, as long as the child is outside, he claims that the master is going out for his father today, as long as you don’t deny it, even if someone doubts it in his heart, he will not dare to say it easily.
Chu Mingtang looked at his son and suddenly sighed: Zheng'er, you are too emotional
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Please rest assured, father, that only a few people can do emotionally, let alone if you can handle everything calmly and rationally without being favored by personal feelings, would you still be called a human being?
Chu Mingtang was silent for a while and said: Tell your master, this is only once.
Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: Thank you, Dad,
Chu Mingtang said: After this matter is over, there is another thing I want to ask you, what is going on between you and Princess Min?
Chu Zheng suddenly cried out: Father, the child has always followed your teachings and has never pretended to her, but she just wants to be nice to her. What can the child do?
Chu Mingtang looked at him and sneered: Look at you, you are quite proud.
Chu Zheng said embarrassedly: How dare you have such thoughts
Chu Mingtang walked a few steps a little annoyedly and said: You two children, you don’t know how to check in public. This matter will spread throughout the capital without getting dark. If all officials ask about this matter tomorrow morning, how do you call them father?
Chu Zheng said: Actually, there is really nothing between the child and her
Chu Mingtang glared at him: It's nothing? Do you have to have an affair with a couple of you, a beady fetuse... Chu Mingtang thought about it and felt that it was a bit indecent to the child and had lost his identity, so he stopped talking about it.
Chu Zheng almost laughed when he heard this, and quickly shut up. My father is on the fire now, so it's better to be careful.
Chu Mingtang suddenly asked: Then what do you think of Princess Min?
Chu Zheng was stunned and said: Father, you are not going to come, are you really going to marry her?
Chu Mingtang scolded: You answer your father first
Chu Zheng scratched his head and said: The child and Princess Min didn't meet much, and he said he was not careful. He just thought she hated her when he first met in Taiping Mansion. But after arriving in the capital, she was very nice to the child. The child found that she was also a good woman, but she was just a little confused.
Chu Zheng is honestly speaking, men in the world rarely really hate women who fall in love with them, especially in this era when there are three wives and four concubines, unless the woman is really unbearable.
Chu Mingtang sighed: It’s a pity that she is a princess, otherwise she would be able to marry you. But all the emperors of all generations were extremely taboo about the major families in the court. They never promised the royal woman to me and waited for you to marry her, but it was even more difficult.
Chu Zheng said helplessly: Father, the child is still young, it is too early to consider these things now.
Chu Mingtang shook his head, stopped mentioning this matter, and asked again: You fought with Li Wanshan just now, how are you injured now?
Chu Zheng covered his chest with his hands and said: Why did my father think of this now? The child felt it was very uncomfortable here.
Chu Mingtang scolded: Don’t pretend to be pitiful. On the way, Mr. Li took your pulse for you. He told your father that you are not seriously injured. You just need to rest in bed for a few days and go back first. What do you need to do to get Qingru from Manager Li to take it? Also, since the emperor has appointed you as the deputy general of the Imperial Guard, wait until the injury is better and go to office. Don’t give anyone a word.
Chu Zheng returned to the outing garden, but saw Chen Zhenzhong and another person waiting for him in the study room.
Chu Zheng looked at the two of them and thought that today he almost made a big fuss. If the emperor really had something to do, the Chu family would almost never be able to recover.
The people in the Eagle Hall belong to the Chu family. Although they are acting secretly, most of the senior deacons in the hall have decent positions. They are used to relying on the power of the Chu family on weekdays, and it is still okay to collect intelligence. However, although Chen Zhenzhong and others have high martial arts skills, they have insufficient experience in the martial arts world. Compared with the people in the Demon Sect, they are far less fierce than them. They should be rectified.
Seeing Chu Zheng back, Chen Zhenzhong greeted the man and bowed and said, "See the master, thank you for your life-saving kindness."
Chu Zheng snorted and said: No,
Seeing Chu Zheng's cold expression, Chen Zhenzhong and the others were stunned.
The two of them were also frightened today. If Chu Zheng and Zhao Min had not spoken out for help, the emperor would have only one sentence to kill them.
The two of them were grateful and came to thank Chu Zheng, but they didn't expect Chu Zheng to treat each other coldly
Chu Zheng sat down, took the tea handed over by Zijuan and drank it, and said to the two:
Chen Zhenzhong didn't dare to sit down and said carefully: Li Wanshan escaped from us, and the hall master was injured. His subordinate deserved death.
Chu Zheng glanced at him and said: Do you think I blame you for my injury?
Chen Zhenzhong hurriedly said: I don’t dare
Chu Zheng said lightly: You two are from my Eagle Hall. Since I am the leader of the hall, I should plead for you in front of the emperor, but now I am back. There are rules in the hall. Today, you two are really hard tolerate Chen Zhenzhong. You Chitang is in charge of the punishment of Eagle Hall. Go and get the crime yourself.
Chen Zhenzhong and the other two were sweating in cold sweat. If the crime was really pursued today, the beheading was enough. Chen Zhenzhong said quietly: I will take the order and slowly turn around and want to leave.
Chu Zheng suddenly said: Let’s wait, Mr. Chen, do you know where your sin is today?
Chen Zhenzhong was stunned and said: It was his subordinates who were incompetent, which caused Li Wanshan to escape and frightened the emperor.
Chu Zheng shook his head and said: What Li Wanshan used at that time should be the magic magic skill of the Demon Sect. The same way was achieved. This skill condensed all the potential of the practitioner in several moves. Regardless of whether Li Wanshan succeeded, he would not be able to live for a long time. Since he had the will to die, you two could not stop him, so it was not your fault.
Chen Zhenzhong said in confusion: Where is the mistake of subordinate? Please give me some advice.
Chu Zheng looked at the person beside Chen Zhenzhong and said: Who is this?
Chen Zhenzhong hurriedly said: This is his junior brother Liu Zhenfeng, the new deacon of Chitang, who will take over the position of Wei Shi.
Chu Zheng nodded and said: Your Chitang has always guarded the Chu Mansion and has not had much contact with people in the world. If it weren't for the preparations today, he mobilized all the masters in the hall to deal with the Demon Sect with bows and arrows. With the fierceness of the Demon Sect, the Eagle Hall would probably have many casualties.
Chen Zhenzhong and Liu Zhenfeng recalled the situation of the people in the Demon Sect being fearless in the rain of arrows, and couldn't help but feel chilled.
After Li Wanshan was captured, he knew that he would die. With the temperament of the people in the Demon Sect, he would fight to the death. As a deacon, Chen Zhenzhong was not considerate. After capturing, people like Li Wanshan would first destroy his martial arts first and break his limbs and meridians to be foolproof. As a deacon, Liu Zhenfeng's main responsibility is to assist the deacon. Since the deacon did not consider it carefully, you need to remind him on the side, but none of you had thought about this. Chen Zhenzhong, tell me, why not destroy Li Wanshan's martial arts?
Chen Zhenzhong leaned over and said: Just because people in the world do not have deep hatred, they will rarely lose their martial arts subordinates for a while, so please forgive me for their sins.
Chu Zheng sneered: Are you still a man in the world? You have lost the blood of the people in the world, but you have followed those bad rules. Only when you have today's disaster is really not enough to succeed and have more than failure.
Chen Zhenzhong bowed and said: I understand. Thank you, the master, for your advice. I will go back to the hall to receive the crime.
Chu Zheng said: Do you know what crime you have received?
Chen Zhenzhong hesitated and said: "I am a crime of dereliction of duty."
Well, it is a crime of dereliction of duty, Chu Zheng said, could anyone in the hall be injured or killed?
Chen Zhenzhong suddenly understood what Chu Zheng meant, was overjoyed and replied: No one in the hall was injured or killed
So how should we deal with the rules of the hall?
Chen Zhenzhong replied without hesitation: Go back to the hall master, and his subordinates and junior brother Liu should be imprisoned for 20 days, and he thought about it behind closed doors.
Chu Zheng pondered: But as the head of the hall, you, Chen Zhenzhong, have a lot of affairs in the hall, and you, Liu Zhenfeng, are you, are indispensable for the time being. You will be imprisoned on behalf of Deacon Chen. Forty days, are you willing?
Liu Zhenfeng smiled and said: I am willing to do so
Chu Zheng walked up to salute and said: Have you met the Prime Minister
Fang Lingxin smiled and helped Chu Zheng up and looked at him: As expected, the young hero is indeed amazing.
Chu Zheng was puzzled and saw Fang Lingxin’s smile strangely. After looking at Chu Mingtang, Chu Mingtang also smiled bitterly.
It turned out that when Chu Mingtang learned that the mansion was indeed an assassin who assassinated Liang Shangyun, he sent someone to inform Fang Lingxin quickly, saying that the whereabouts of the assassin had been discovered.
After all, Fang Lingxin was the prime minister of the current dynasty and was in charge of this matter. The two families of Chu were not as hostile as before. Chu Mingtang invited him, and the memorial could be written as follows: The Prime Minister and the Grand Marshal were personally on the front line of the formation, and the command was determined to kill all the criminals who assassinated Lord Liang.
In this way, everyone is happy
The Ministry of Justice is not far from here. After receiving the news, Fang Lingxin stopped even sitting in a sedan chair. He transferred a carriage and rushed over with his generals.
In addition, Fang Lingxin walked off the carriage and happened to see Chu Zheng crossing the wall and chasing Wu Anran.
Chu Zheng was extremely fast, and of course Fang Lingxin couldn't see clearly, but there were a few masters among the guards around him.
One of them was named Tie Nanxing, who was also a famous master in Zhao State. He was definitely not under the tributes of the Eagle and Wolf Hall. He followed Fang Lingxin yesterday and saw Chu Zheng, and couldn't help but exclaim: What a light skill, isn't this the fifth son of the Taiwei family?
Fang Lingxin was shocked when he heard this and asked: Are you reading it wrong?
Tie Nanxing said: There is absolutely nothing, but I also feel strange. How could he, a young master of the official family, practice martial arts to such an extent
Fang Lingxin hurriedly asked: How does he compare to you, Mr. Tie?
For people in the martial arts world, Fang Lingxin asked what it was rude, but Tie Nanxing knew that Fang Lingxin was not familiar with martial arts, so hesitated for a while and said: Just in terms of light skills, the young master of the Chu family is definitely not under me.
Fang Lingxin knew that Tie Nanxing's martial arts were definitely the top among the Fang family. When he heard that he actually admired Chu Zheng so much, he was shocked.
After seeing Chu Mingtang, Lingxin asked about the situation. He knew that all these assassins had been wiped out except for one person, and the origin of the assassin had been found, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The matter was finally settled. As for the emperor's belief or not, he would let him.
Fang Lingxin's heart had already come to the ground, so he asked Chu Mingtang indirectly about Chu Zheng's affairs.
After hearing a few words, Chu Mingtang knew what was going on. He couldn't help but complain, secretly scolding Chu Zheng for not knowing the importance of it and showing off his limelight.
Chu Mingtang wanted to vaguely over it. What a person Fang Lingxin is? What's more, the three major families have never been good at martial arts. The Chu family has such a person, why don't he figure it out.
The two giants are fighting intrigue. Chu Zheng, the protagonist, came back, Fang Lingxin hurriedly pulled him aside, trying to draw the truth from him.
Chu Mingtang quickly coughed and said, Zheng'er, come here, this is Mr. Tie Nanxing. He just saw you crossing the wall and chasing the thief. He admired your martial arts very much. Mr. Tie is a famous master in the martial arts world of my Great Zhao. You should ask for more advice.
Fang Lingxin snorted next to him
Chu Zheng's two generations of age is not much younger than him. Chu Mingtang reminded him again. He quickly understood Fang Lingxin's intention and couldn't help but feel extremely impressed.
Suddenly, a sharp voice saved Chu Zheng: The emperor is here!
When Chu Mingtang and Fang Lingxin saw that the emperor was coming, they were shocked. The emperor was not in good health in the past two years and rarely left the palace. Unexpectedly, they came here in person for these assassins.
Fang Lingxin asked in a low voice: Mingtang, did you inform the emperor?
Chu Mingtang shook his head and said: I just asked someone to inform the rotating officials in the court. After all, a large number of imperial guards will be used today, but I did not report to the emperor. The emperor must have known it from the rotating officials.
King Zhao's dragon chassis had arrived, and Chu Mingtang and Fang Lingxin led everyone to worship: I will meet the emperor
Chu Zheng secretly looked behind his father and saw that the emperor's face was sick and his eyes were dull. If he hadn't worn a dragon robe, he would have been a bad old man.
Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel strange. Logically speaking, the emperor is not much older than his father, so why does he look so much worse than his appearance.
A beautiful woman in palace dress stood beside King Zhao
Chu Zheng glanced at her and felt familiar. After careful examination, he realized that the woman was actually Zhao Min.
However, Chu Zheng had seen her several times before wearing a strong outfit. At this time, she was wearing a princess outfit, but she couldn't recognize her for a while.
After a few months, Zhao Min had lost a lot of weight and looked a little haggard. She recognized Chu Zheng from the crowd at a glance. When the two of them looked, Zhao Min couldn't help but blush and she lowered her head.
King Zhao covered his mouth and coughed several times, saying: Two dear ministers, I heard that the murderer who assassinated Liang Shangyun of the Ministry of Justice was in this mansion. Has this matter been confirmed?
Chu Mingtang stepped forward and said: Reporting to the emperor, the matter has been confirmed, and the assassin has been captured in total.
Helian Xuechu Mingtang, who was rescued just now, did not count him. He always felt that the man could not be caught.
King Zhao said: Oh? Did you find out who was instructing him?
Chu Mingtang said: It has been verified that these assassins are from the Western Regions. My ministers have ordered people to bring them to confession based on one of them. They were ordered by the King of Western Qin to come to our State of Great Zhao, in an attempt to assassinate the important officials in our court and provoke internal chaos in our court.
King Zhao pondered: Western Qin? That yellow-haired child has always been desperate to fight against our thief. This time, he used such a despicable trick again.
King Zheng Jiong of Western Qin ascended the throne at the age of fifteen or sixteen. King Zhao has always been quite disdainful of him. Now King Zheng Jiong of Qin is already a young man in his twenties, but in the eyes of King Zhao, he is still just a yellow-haired boy.
A glimmer flashed through King Zhao's turbid eyes, and he looked up and said: Fang Prime Minister, I will send my will to escort all the Western Qin envoys in the territory of Great Zhao to the border of Zhao Qin, cut off his ear and expel him from the country, and never step into Great Zhao again.
Chu Mingtang hurriedly stepped forward and said: The emperor, arrogance, thinks that Western Qin secretly sent people to assassinate our important ministers of Great Zhao and expel their envoys, but I think this move is inappropriate. My Zhao also has envoys in Qin. If this is true, the envoys of Great Zhao will inevitably be humiliated, and this move will not help increase our prestige.
Fang Lingxin also said: I think the words of the Taiwei of Chu are reasonable, so please think twice.
King Zhao said intimately that you two knew that you two would sing together, but thinking about Chu Mingtang's words were reasonable, he said helplessly: Well, I will only expel the envoy of Western Qin from the country.
Chu Mingtang and Fang Lingxin bowed their orders
King Zhao looked at these two people and said unhappy no matter how they looked at them, he said angrily: Taiwei Chu, how did these assassins get into the capital, and how did you find out?
Chu Mingtang said how the people from the Demon Sect killed Tang Ganjiang and pretended to be an official in Beijing. He also said: Emperor, these assassins are cunning and cunning, fortunately, the Minister of Personnel, Tang, and found out that Tang Ganjiang had been sick at home since he entered Beijing and never saw outsiders. He reported to the weak ministers.
I thought that the Imperial Guard had searched the entire city yesterday, but there was no trace of assassins. The only ones who had not searched were the residences of officials in the court. Tang Ganjiang was so strange. I also thought that something must be strange. I ordered the Imperial Guard to search for the Emperor's Hong Fu this morning. These assassins were indeed here. Lord Tang and the Imperial Guard General Chu commanded the Imperial Guard bravely to kill the enemy, and then they beat all the assassins in one fell swoop.
Tang Xiaokang was secretly grateful in his heart. With Chu Mingtang's help, the difficulty finally passed.
King Zhao has been emperor for more than 20 years, and he has seen many tricks of ministers. He knows that Chu Mingtang's words are unrealistic, but he has no way to investigate them. He said: Although Tang Xiaokang has made great contributions in this matter, he also has a crime of inadvertent punishment in advance. You have not been in court for a month. You have not heard of it and punished you from a first-rank official to a first-rank official. You are still the Minister of Personnel to be the Minister of Personnel.
Tang Xiaokang leaned over and said: Thank you, Emperor
King Zhao looked up at everyone, and saw a young man standing behind Chu Mingtang. He couldn't help but feel moved and said: Taiwei Chu, is your youngest son Chu Zheng behind you?
Chu Mingtang bowed and said: It's the dog's son
King Zhao waved to Chu Zheng and said: Come here
Chu Zheng couldn't help but look at Zhao Min, not knowing what wind she was blowing in the emperor's ear, but why did he even know his name.
Chu Zheng felt a stir in his heart and walked to King Zhao helplessly and said: Xiaomin, please see the emperor.
King Zhao smiled and said: Why do you still call yourself a small civilian? Hasn’t the Ministry of War appointed you as the captain of the Imperial Guard?
Fang Lingxin was stunned. The emperor had no energy in recent years and never paid attention to matters that had nothing to do with the government. Why did he seem to be quite familiar with Chu Mingtang's youngest son? It seems that he had ignored this young man too much before.
Fang Lingxin looked at Chu Zheng, and the more he looked, the more interested he became.
Chu Mingtang was also uneasy. The lieutenant was just a low-level officer in the army. The emperor actually knew about such things that even the minister of the Ministry of War could do. He even said it in public. It won't take long, and the name of Chu Zheng would probably be known to everyone in the court.
Chu Zheng had no choice but to change his words: I will meet the emperor
King Zhao looked at him for a long time and suddenly sighed: No wonder
As soon as this said, everyone was inexplicably only Chu Mingtang and Chu Zheng vaguely knew that the emperor was sighing for Zhao Min. Chu Zheng couldn't help but look at her again. Zhao Min's ears were red and his head was getting lower and lower.
A commotion came not far away, and Chu Shen'an led a team of imperial guards to escort Li Wanshan and others over and kidnap them.
The Imperial Guard General Chu Shen'an met the Emperor
King Zhao looked at it and said: Are these assassins caught?
Chu Shen'an responded: That's right
King Zhao was a little disappointed and said: Why are there only six people?
Chu Shen'an: Report to the emperor, these assassins are extremely fierce. They tried their best to resist the arrest of the Imperial Guards and had no choice but to shoot most of them with bows and arrows. The remaining six people are all the leaders of the assassins.
Chu Shen'an was secretly happy. Chu Mingtang had just told him that all the contributions were recorded on the head of the Imperial Guards he led. He made such a great contribution and was about to become an official and be promoted.
King Zhao whined, and saw that most of the six people had high noses and deep eyes, obviously they were not from the Central Plains.
Seeing that Li Wanshan was the oldest among the few people and dressed quite luxuriously, he pointed at him and said: Is this person the leader of the assassin?
Chu Shen'an showed admiration on his face and said: The emperor is wise. This person's name is Li Wanshan. It was the leader of the assassin, and he also found a token from him, which was engraved with the four words "First-rank" of the Great Inner. Please check it out.
King Zhao took the token from the waiter, looked carefully and said: Yes, this thing is indeed something from the Western Qin Dynasty. This person seems to have a good identity and bring him up. I have something to ask him.
Chu Shenping waved his hand and two soldiers of the Imperial Guards rushed forward with Li Wanshan.
When Chu Zheng saw that the two soldiers were actually played by Chen Zhenzhong and an Eagle Hall master. It must be because Li Wanshan was very skilled in martial arts and was afraid that he would break free.
King Zhao looked at Li Wanshan and said: What's your name Li Wanshan?
Li Wanshan grinned and said: Are you King Zhao?
Chen Zhenzhong shouted: Bold! He punched Li Wanshan on the cheek. Li Wanshan groaned and vomited blood, with a few teeth inside.
King Zhao didn't care and said: Li Wanshan, as long as you answer my honestly, I can order someone to leave you a complete body
Li Wanshan looked weird and said: Since they are all dead, what is the difference between leaving a whole body and shattering a piece of corpse.
Just now, the emperor ordered someone to take Li Wanshan to the front of him and Chu Zheng felt that it was inappropriate. It was just that his official position was low and it was difficult to speak casually.
After all, Chu Zheng was also from the Demon Sect. Wu Anran once told him that many evil kung fu in the Demon Sect, some even fought for their lives. There are several martial arts that can increase their skills several times before dying, just to die with the opponent in an instant.
As the elder of the Demon Sect, Li Wanshan should not be confused
Chu Zheng had no choice but to stare at Li Wanshan, and be alert
But King Zhao still sneered without knowing how to live or die: Is that right? But you know there are many ways in the world that can make you unable to survive or die
Li Wanshan's face turned red and white, and he smiled bitterly: That's just a different way of returning to the same destination.
King Zhao didn't understand: What were you saying?
Li Wanshan said in a deep voice: Even if I, Li Wanshan, suffer from the pain of piercing the snakes and ants eating the heart, in the end, I will only have the word "death". As an emperor, you Zhao Kangping, enjoying the glory and wealth of life, today is also a death, which is called...
Different - path - same - return
Li Wanshan's words "Talk" just now, the rope on his body was broken, and he had already rushed towards King Zhao when he said "Gui".
Chen Zhenzhong was so scared that he was shattered and raised all his strength and punched Li Wanshan.
Li Wanshan did not avoid it, and he was forced to get the punch.
This fist was gathered by Chen Zhenzhong's lifelong skills. Li Wanshan felt that his eyes were dark and he spit out blood. However, with this fist force, Li Wanshan rushed towards King Zhao much faster than before
Li Wanshan looked at King Zhao's panicked old face and was secretly happy, but he didn't expect a figure to suddenly block in front of him.
Li Wanshan recognized him as the boy who had punched Helianxue, and he couldn't help but feel cold. He was strong and his luck was the same as his different paths. His mental method improved his skills several times, but he was originally at the end of his strength. He broke the bull tendon rope and got Chen Zhenzhong's punch and reduced his skills greatly. At this time, he was just a little higher than usual.
Chu Zheng's mood was clear at this time, with his left hand in front of his palm and his right fist retracted behind him. It was the starting style of the five dragon and elephant styles he named himself. The dragon emerged from the abyss
He knew that he could never get out of the way. If the emperor was really killed by Li Wanshan, the Chu family would not be able to clean up even if they jumped into the Yellow River.
Li Wanshan knew that today's success was not big. Although this young man was not his opponent, it was still more than enough to delay for a moment. However, he had no way out and had to slash at Chu Zheng in succession with his palms.
Chu Zheng exhaled and opened his breath, and his fists ran out and connected Li Wanshan's five palms. He felt his eyes turned black, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood rushed into his throat.
Chu Zheng didn't dare to spit it out, for fear that the breath would be discharged as soon as it was spit out, so he had to put it in his mouth and held it in his hands for another six or seven palms, but he felt that Li Wanshan's palm passed by lightly and gradually became soft and weak.
Chu Zheng felt strange, but Li Wanshan's face was pale and his eyes were dissipated. He couldn't help but feel happy. He blocked his palms with his left hand and hit Li Wanshan's chest with his right fist.
Li Wanshan screamed and flew out
Chu Zheng couldn't hold it anymore, and a mouthful of blood finally spurted out
Zhao Min was shocked when she saw this, and didn't care about the princess's etiquette, so she hurried over and hugged Chu Zheng.
Her martial arts skills were not weak at first, but she was just dazed until Chu Zheng and Li Wanshan fought and realized that they could not react.
Li Wanshan barely stood firm and stared at Chu Zheng and said: I have fought with the monks of Lingshan Ancient Temple for a lifetime. I didn’t expect that I would die in the old age under the Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Art. You have already practiced to the fifth level at a young age. As far as I know, it is an unprecedented wall that is not unpredictable. Lingshan Temple will come to find you sooner or later. You should know it yourself.
Chu Zheng didn't understand and said: Where is the Lingshan Ancient Temple?
Li Wanshan refused to answer for a long time. Chu Zheng walked forward with Zhao Min's support and found that he had died.
Suddenly, Chu Zheng heard Chu Mingtang coughing. Chu Zheng looked at his father and saw Chu Mingtang glaring at him, but Fang Lingxin next to him seemed to be smiling.
Chu Zheng then realized that the princess of the dynasty was holding her and holding her, and was in full view of everyone. The expressions of the people around him were strange, some were envious and some were shocked.
Chu Zheng felt his entire right arm squeezed between Zhao Min's breasts and twisted his body unnaturally, full of elasticity. Zhao Min seemed to have noticed it, and let go of Chu Zheng's arm with a embarrassed look on his face.
Just listen to King Zhao: Chu Zheng, come here
Chu Zheng walked to King Zhao and saw that King Zhao looked as usual. He was slightly surprised and thought that the emperor was not useless.
King Zhao looked at him and nodded and said: It's rare to have such courage at a young age.
Chu Zheng politely said: The emperor has praised the emperor for protecting him, and it is the responsibility of the minister.
King Zhao said: Since you already have an official position, I will grant you the deputy general of the Imperial Guard and give you another thousand taels of gold.
Chu Zheng said: Thank you, Your Majesty
King Zhao saw that Chu Zheng was not very happy and said lightly: This kind of reward is probably not rare for you.
Chu Zheng was shocked and hurriedly leaned over and said: "I have no intention of this."
King Zhao looked at Zhao Min and whispered to Chu Zheng: I can't do your best to you for the reward you want, right now, maybe you will have this opportunity
Zhao Min heard what her father said, and was extremely happy, and couldn't help but smile.
Chu Zheng was a little embarrassed when he saw that King Zhao would have a wrong idea. Seeing Zhao Min beside him smiling like a flower, he was a little moved, but when he thought about marrying her, he was a little hesitant.
King Zhao glanced at Chu Shen'an, who was pale next to him and said: Chu Shen'an
Chu Shen'an thrust down and said tremblingly: I am not in charge of the criminal, and I am guilty of
King Zhao snorted and said: Do you understand what you are going to deal with the two banned guard soldiers?
Chu Shenan was speechless. If these two people were really his subordinates, he would kill them without hesitation, but these two people were from Chu's mansion, and he could not afford to offend him.
Seeing that it was related to Chen Zhenzhong's life, Chu Zheng had to bite the bullet and said: Emperor, I think I can't blame the two men for this matter, the fierce assassin just now, the emperor also saw the two soldiers. The two soldiers were not dereliction of duty, but they were just beyond their reach.
King Zhao was as clear as a mirror. Although he was not stupid, the skills that Chen Zhenzhong had just revealed were not something that an ordinary soldier could do. Seeing Chu Zheng pleading for the two of them, he became more and more certain in his heart, and he couldn't help but sneer: Who will bear this crime of dereliction of duty? Can you Chu Shen'an bear it?
Chu Zheng said: But General Chu strives to eliminate the assassin today and has made great contributions.
Seeing Chu Zheng was quite embarrassed, Zhao Min couldn't help but say: Father, my daughter thinks that Mr. Chu's words are reasonable. This thief Li Wanshan's daughter has also heard of her name for a long time. She is one of the three elders of the Western Region Demon Sect. She is indeed a master in the world. No wonder General Chu.
King Zhao couldn't help but feel angry
It was extremely inappropriate for Zhao Min to support her without regard for the princess's honor. Unexpectedly, she spoke to Chu Zheng in public at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the two must have a private relationship at a glance.
The Chu family is in great power. Who else dares to marry her except Chu Zheng in the future?
But looking at her daughter's thin little face, King Zhao felt a little soft-hearted and said to her, she would let her like anyone else. It would be better than being alone like her aunt for the rest of her life.
King Zhao said: OK, Chu Shen'an's merits and demerits have been rejected. The Ministry of War did not remember the person who came on the case, so he took the lead back to the palace.
The eunuch beside him screamed: Get on!
Chu Zheng bowed his hand and said to Zhao Min softly: Princess, thank you
Zhao Min said: Thank you, you saved your father. It is my palace who thanked you. He asked again: How are your injuries?
Chu Zheng said: Thank you, the princess for your concern, I am no longer in trouble
Zhao Min looked at him and said: I didn't expect you to be so slap in this way. It was okay if you got beaten by my aunt that day.
Chu Zheng chuckled and said: What's this? I took your aunt's slap again last night. Isn't it still fine today?
Since Chu Zheng knew that Zhao Min had something to do with him, he knew the little girl's thoughts and no longer was hesitant to be respectful.
Zhao Min gave him a blank look and said: Bragging
Chu Zheng said: If you don’t believe me, ask your aunt to go
Seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, Zhao Min couldn't help but open her eyes: Are you saying true?
Chu Zheng nodded and suddenly said: Princess, can you beg your aunt for me? Don't stare at me anymore
Zhao Min chuckled softly: Are you afraid of my aunt?
Chu Zheng nodded repeatedly. He was really afraid of this woman who could easily take his life.
King Zhao couldn't wait and called out in a deep voice: Min'er
Zhao Min stuck out her tongue and said: I'll go back and try it, but my aunt is not just listening to others' advice. You should ask for good luck. After saying that, she smiled and turned around and left.
Chu Zheng watched Zhao Min go away, and suddenly a burst of millet was hit on his head.
Chu Zheng was furious, clenched his fists and looked back at the guy who had been brave enough to find the guy who had been brave enough to see his father walking past him with a calm face, and shouted in a low voice: Don't you go back to your house yet?
Chu Zheng let go of his fist and followed Chu Mingtang obediently
When he returned to the mansion, Chu Mingtang took Chu Zheng to the study room and asked: Where is your master?
Chu Zheng laughed and said: My father has guessed it, why bother asking the child again
Chu Zhengyu didn't even want to hide this from his father. With Chu Mingtang's shrewdness, he probably had doubts about it before Tang Ganjiang Mansion.
Chu Mingtang nodded and said: It turns out that she is the leader of the Blood Shadow Sect, and she must have contact with the Western Region Demon Sect. Have you and the two gentlemen Long Lu caught up with her?
Chu Zheng replied: The child has caught up with her, but he didn't let the two seniors Long Lu know.
Chu Mingtang knew that Chu Zheng was protecting his master and asked: Did she decide to go away forever?
Chu Zheng said: She originally had this intention, but the child tried hard to persuade him, and the master agreed to go back to his house soon.
Chu Mingtang asked: Where is her now?
Chu Zheng thought for a while and said: At this time, he should send Helianxue out of the city.
Chu Mingtang said: My Chu family treats her well, why did he do this?
Chu Zheng said: Na Helianxue was the master’s savior back then, and the master couldn’t bear to see him suffer, so he rescued him.
Chu Mingtang said angrily: But where did she do this?
Chu Zheng looked at his father and said: Father, you and Uncle Guo, the Minister of War, were close friends back then. Although you have already had evil things now, if someone wants to kill Uncle Guo, will you help me?
Chu Mingtang said silently
The master knew that if she took action, the Chu family might not have tolerated him anymore, Chu Zheng continued, but she still rescued Helianxue without hesitation. It can be seen that the master is a kind person who is in love. If he puts himself in his shoes, the child will do the same.
Chu Mingtang said: Your master is now a member of our Chu Mansion. The state has national laws and family rules. If this matter is not handled, how can you convince the public in the future if you are a father?
Chu Zheng said: The child also knows the truth, so he avoided the two seniors Long Lu at that time, just to prevent his father from making things difficult for him. The child begs his father not to investigate the matter.
Chu Mingtang said: Then how can you justify your master? She has not shown up in the past few days, and Li Changxiao and others have doubts
Chu Zheng said indifferently: The mansion knows that the master is only a few people, as long as the child is outside, he claims that the master is going out for his father today, as long as you don’t deny it, even if someone doubts it in his heart, he will not dare to say it easily.
Chu Mingtang looked at his son and suddenly sighed: Zheng'er, you are too emotional
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Please rest assured, father, that only a few people can do emotionally, let alone if you can handle everything calmly and rationally without being favored by personal feelings, would you still be called a human being?
Chu Mingtang was silent for a while and said: Tell your master, this is only once.
Chu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: Thank you, Dad,
Chu Mingtang said: After this matter is over, there is another thing I want to ask you, what is going on between you and Princess Min?
Chu Zheng suddenly cried out: Father, the child has always followed your teachings and has never pretended to her, but she just wants to be nice to her. What can the child do?
Chu Mingtang looked at him and sneered: Look at you, you are quite proud.
Chu Zheng said embarrassedly: How dare you have such thoughts
Chu Mingtang walked a few steps a little annoyedly and said: You two children, you don’t know how to check in public. This matter will spread throughout the capital without getting dark. If all officials ask about this matter tomorrow morning, how do you call them father?
Chu Zheng said: Actually, there is really nothing between the child and her
Chu Mingtang glared at him: It's nothing? Do you have to have an affair with a couple of you, a beady fetuse... Chu Mingtang thought about it and felt that it was a bit indecent to the child and had lost his identity, so he stopped talking about it.
Chu Zheng almost laughed when he heard this, and quickly shut up. My father is on the fire now, so it's better to be careful.
Chu Mingtang suddenly asked: Then what do you think of Princess Min?
Chu Zheng was stunned and said: Father, you are not going to come, are you really going to marry her?
Chu Mingtang scolded: You answer your father first
Chu Zheng scratched his head and said: The child and Princess Min didn't meet much, and he said he was not careful. He just thought she hated her when he first met in Taiping Mansion. But after arriving in the capital, she was very nice to the child. The child found that she was also a good woman, but she was just a little confused.
Chu Zheng is honestly speaking, men in the world rarely really hate women who fall in love with them, especially in this era when there are three wives and four concubines, unless the woman is really unbearable.
Chu Mingtang sighed: It’s a pity that she is a princess, otherwise she would be able to marry you. But all the emperors of all generations were extremely taboo about the major families in the court. They never promised the royal woman to me and waited for you to marry her, but it was even more difficult.
Chu Zheng said helplessly: Father, the child is still young, it is too early to consider these things now.
Chu Mingtang shook his head, stopped mentioning this matter, and asked again: You fought with Li Wanshan just now, how are you injured now?
Chu Zheng covered his chest with his hands and said: Why did my father think of this now? The child felt it was very uncomfortable here.
Chu Mingtang scolded: Don’t pretend to be pitiful. On the way, Mr. Li took your pulse for you. He told your father that you are not seriously injured. You just need to rest in bed for a few days and go back first. What do you need to do to get Qingru from Manager Li to take it? Also, since the emperor has appointed you as the deputy general of the Imperial Guard, wait until the injury is better and go to office. Don’t give anyone a word.
Chu Zheng returned to the outing garden, but saw Chen Zhenzhong and another person waiting for him in the study room.
Chu Zheng looked at the two of them and thought that today he almost made a big fuss. If the emperor really had something to do, the Chu family would almost never be able to recover.
The people in the Eagle Hall belong to the Chu family. Although they are acting secretly, most of the senior deacons in the hall have decent positions. They are used to relying on the power of the Chu family on weekdays, and it is still okay to collect intelligence. However, although Chen Zhenzhong and others have high martial arts skills, they have insufficient experience in the martial arts world. Compared with the people in the Demon Sect, they are far less fierce than them. They should be rectified.
Seeing Chu Zheng back, Chen Zhenzhong greeted the man and bowed and said, "See the master, thank you for your life-saving kindness."
Chu Zheng snorted and said: No,
Seeing Chu Zheng's cold expression, Chen Zhenzhong and the others were stunned.
The two of them were also frightened today. If Chu Zheng and Zhao Min had not spoken out for help, the emperor would have only one sentence to kill them.
The two of them were grateful and came to thank Chu Zheng, but they didn't expect Chu Zheng to treat each other coldly
Chu Zheng sat down, took the tea handed over by Zijuan and drank it, and said to the two:
Chen Zhenzhong didn't dare to sit down and said carefully: Li Wanshan escaped from us, and the hall master was injured. His subordinate deserved death.
Chu Zheng glanced at him and said: Do you think I blame you for my injury?
Chen Zhenzhong hurriedly said: I don’t dare
Chu Zheng said lightly: You two are from my Eagle Hall. Since I am the leader of the hall, I should plead for you in front of the emperor, but now I am back. There are rules in the hall. Today, you two are really hard tolerate Chen Zhenzhong. You Chitang is in charge of the punishment of Eagle Hall. Go and get the crime yourself.
Chen Zhenzhong and the other two were sweating in cold sweat. If the crime was really pursued today, the beheading was enough. Chen Zhenzhong said quietly: I will take the order and slowly turn around and want to leave.
Chu Zheng suddenly said: Let’s wait, Mr. Chen, do you know where your sin is today?
Chen Zhenzhong was stunned and said: It was his subordinates who were incompetent, which caused Li Wanshan to escape and frightened the emperor.
Chu Zheng shook his head and said: What Li Wanshan used at that time should be the magic magic skill of the Demon Sect. The same way was achieved. This skill condensed all the potential of the practitioner in several moves. Regardless of whether Li Wanshan succeeded, he would not be able to live for a long time. Since he had the will to die, you two could not stop him, so it was not your fault.
Chen Zhenzhong said in confusion: Where is the mistake of subordinate? Please give me some advice.
Chu Zheng looked at the person beside Chen Zhenzhong and said: Who is this?
Chen Zhenzhong hurriedly said: This is his junior brother Liu Zhenfeng, the new deacon of Chitang, who will take over the position of Wei Shi.
Chu Zheng nodded and said: Your Chitang has always guarded the Chu Mansion and has not had much contact with people in the world. If it weren't for the preparations today, he mobilized all the masters in the hall to deal with the Demon Sect with bows and arrows. With the fierceness of the Demon Sect, the Eagle Hall would probably have many casualties.
Chen Zhenzhong and Liu Zhenfeng recalled the situation of the people in the Demon Sect being fearless in the rain of arrows, and couldn't help but feel chilled.
After Li Wanshan was captured, he knew that he would die. With the temperament of the people in the Demon Sect, he would fight to the death. As a deacon, Chen Zhenzhong was not considerate. After capturing, people like Li Wanshan would first destroy his martial arts first and break his limbs and meridians to be foolproof. As a deacon, Liu Zhenfeng's main responsibility is to assist the deacon. Since the deacon did not consider it carefully, you need to remind him on the side, but none of you had thought about this. Chen Zhenzhong, tell me, why not destroy Li Wanshan's martial arts?
Chen Zhenzhong leaned over and said: Just because people in the world do not have deep hatred, they will rarely lose their martial arts subordinates for a while, so please forgive me for their sins.
Chu Zheng sneered: Are you still a man in the world? You have lost the blood of the people in the world, but you have followed those bad rules. Only when you have today's disaster is really not enough to succeed and have more than failure.
Chen Zhenzhong bowed and said: I understand. Thank you, the master, for your advice. I will go back to the hall to receive the crime.
Chu Zheng said: Do you know what crime you have received?
Chen Zhenzhong hesitated and said: "I am a crime of dereliction of duty."
Well, it is a crime of dereliction of duty, Chu Zheng said, could anyone in the hall be injured or killed?
Chen Zhenzhong suddenly understood what Chu Zheng meant, was overjoyed and replied: No one in the hall was injured or killed
So how should we deal with the rules of the hall?
Chen Zhenzhong replied without hesitation: Go back to the hall master, and his subordinates and junior brother Liu should be imprisoned for 20 days, and he thought about it behind closed doors.
Chu Zheng pondered: But as the head of the hall, you, Chen Zhenzhong, have a lot of affairs in the hall, and you, Liu Zhenfeng, are you, are indispensable for the time being. You will be imprisoned on behalf of Deacon Chen. Forty days, are you willing?
Liu Zhenfeng smiled and said: I am willing to do so
