Chapter 1403: Identity Exposed, Fighting at the Post Station

Walking on the road to Xucheng, Ning Yuanzhou observed carefully.

"The last time I passed by Xucheng was a few years ago. There were not many changes here. It seems that after Anguo took over Xucheng, there were not many changes in the short term."

Neither Zhou Chen nor Yuanlu had been to Xucheng, so they could not see anything. However, Ning Yuanzhou had been to Anguo to lurk before, and had passed by Xucheng more than once, so he still had an impression of Xucheng.

Because the delegation was taken away by Anguo officials, the news could not be transmitted in the first time, so the caravan could only find an inn to stay temporarily.

The delegation was not taken seriously by the Anguo people, but was casually arranged to stay in the inn that had long been dilapidated. The conditions were not much better than the mud houses in the countryside.

Yang Ying grew up in the palace since he was a child. Although he was not taken seriously and was very deserted, he never lacked food and clothing. Along the way, he was also praised by many stars and had never suffered any grievances in life.

So when she saw the conditions here, she was so angry that she started to curse, and even cursed Empress Zhaojie. This made Ren Ruyi, who regarded Empress Zhaojie as a benefactor, furious. She burst into anger and slapped Yang Ying, which scared Yang Ying silly.

In the inn, Ning Yuanzhou received Qian Zhao's message and frowned slightly.

"Have you found the trace of Zhuyiwei so soon?"

Qian Zhao wrote a letter saying that he had found the trace of Zhuyiwei, but he was in the envoy and could not get away for the time being, so he asked them to investigate first.

"Yuanlu, where is Zhou Chen? Why didn't I see him after entering the inn?"

"Brother Zhou said he went out for a walk."

Ning Yuanzhou muttered: "This kid doesn't look like he's here for a mission, but more like he's here for fun."

Thinking of Zhou Chen's performance along the way, it was completely different from their state. He was not nervous at all. Even if he encountered danger, he was calm and his mentality was much better than them.

Ning Yuanzhou could understand why Zhou Chen was like this, because Zhou Chen had already withdrawn from the Six Paths Hall and was no longer fighting for the Six Paths Hall, so naturally he did not have the same pressure as them.

In fact, he really envied Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen's mentality was like the kind of secluded life he pursued, but he still had his own responsibilities and could not really do whatever he wanted like Zhou Chen.

"Forget about him, let's go and see the situation ourselves."

As an organization similar to the Six Paths Hall, the Zhuyi Guard was also the biggest opponent of the Six Paths Hall. Now that they had entered the territory of Anguo, the most important thing to guard against was the Zhuyi Guard.

Just like in Wuguo, some people wanted to rescue Wudi and some did not want to rescue Wudi, he knew that there was almost the same situation in Anguo, some people welcomed their delegation to Anguo, and some people did not welcome their delegation to Anguo.

In Wuguo, he could still be very sure to ensure the safety of the delegation, but if it was in Anguo, once something happened, it would be out of reach.

So he could not afford to be careless.

Ren Ruyi walked down the street in a daze, ignoring the noises on both sides. Just now, because Yang Ying scolded Empress Zhaojie, she lost control of her emotions, slapped Yang Ying, and then left alone.

Now that she has calmed down, she feels a little sorry for Yang Ying. Passing by a stall selling candy people, she was attracted by the candy rabbit. Thinking that Yang Ying's favorite is the little rabbit, she bought a little candy rabbit and prepared to bring it back to Yang Ying.

"Oh, so leisurely and elegant, mother."

Ren Ruyi turned her head suddenly, and saw Zhou Chen smiling at her a few steps behind her.

"Why are you here?"

"One day apart, like three years, you are my mother, I am worried about you, so I came to find you."

"We just separated in the morning, there is not a day at all, not to mention, don't say sweet words to me, I don't buy it."

Ren Ruyi concealed the joy that just appeared, pretending to be indifferent and disdainful.

"This is not just sweet talk. I am really worried about you. After all, I know you will definitely take action when you get here."

"I am more familiar with Zhu Yiwei than you are. You don't need to worry about me."

But she didn't know that Zhou Chen was not only worried about Zhu Yiwei, but also Qian Zhao and others. In the plot, it was Qian Zhao who discovered Ren Ruyi's identity, so he ambushed Ren Ruyi in the post house and almost killed Ren Ruyi.

His arrival changed a lot, but he still had to be on guard, so soon after entering Xucheng, he quietly came to find Ren Ruyi.

"Buy a candy man, this is not like your style."

"Just now I lost my temper and slapped Yang Ying. I bought this for her."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It seems that she really said something wrong, otherwise she wouldn't let you lose your temper. Yes, she is easy to coax. A slap and a candy man will get you through."

As he said that, he asked the vendor for another candy man in the shape of a puppy, and after paying, he handed it to Ren Ruyi.

"What?"

"For you."

Ren Ruyi said unhappily: "I'm not a child."

"Who said that only children can eat candy figures? You are my child's mother, so it's only natural for me to buy candy figures for you." Zhou Chen said confidently.

Hearing Zhou Chen calling her the child's mother, Ren Ruyi was speechless. He was calling her the child before he even had a baby. He was really shameless.

But, surprisingly, she didn't feel disgusted, but just felt helpless and interesting.

She still took the candy figure handed over by Zhou Chen, put it in her mouth in front of Zhou Chen, and licked it gently.

"Too sweet."

"Really? Let me have a taste."

"This is what I've eaten. Can't you buy another one if you want to eat it?"

"It's okay, I don't dislike you."

Seeing that Zhou Chen was really leaning over to eat, Ren Ruyi pushed him away, gave him a fierce look, and walked forward.

"I despise you."

It was fine before, but after that night, she found that Zhou Chen really didn't hide anything in front of her. He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and he spoke all kinds of intimate words, as if the two of them were really a family. People.

Zhou Chen just pretended to catch up with Ren Ruyi in front of him, and stood side by side with her, preparing to go back to the post house together.

In the courtyard of the dilapidated post house, Qian Zhao put his signature heavy sword Kunwu on the ground, holding a whetstone in one hand and sharpening the blade with a stern expression.

Apart from him, there was no one else in the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the action of sharpening the knife suddenly paused, and then his eyes became very sharp and his expression became more stern.

But when the footsteps approached, he frowned slightly and glanced sideways in confusion, and then his expression changed greatly.

Ren Ruyi walked into the post house with Zhou Chen. Although she said that the puppy candy that Zhou Chen bought was too sweet, she had already eaten most of it and her mouth was full of sweetness.

"Why are you the only one, where are the others?"

Ren Ruyi felt strange that she had only been out for more than an hour and everyone was still there when she left. Why was Qian Zhao the only one left now?

Qian Zhao did not answer her, but looked at Zhou Chen: "Aren't you at the caravan? Why did you come with her?"

"Of course you are here to find my child. Why, you don't welcome me?"

Zhou Chen had a smile on his face, and Qian Zhao's reaction was seen by him. Considering the current situation, it was not difficult for him to guess that although the plot had changed a bit, Qian Zhao was still keen to discover Ren Ruyi's flaw.

In fact, with Ren Ruyi's caution, she should not have been easily followed. It was only because she had been in the mission for a long time that she was completely unprepared for everyone in the mission, so she was followed by Qian Zhao and Sun Lang.

"No, it's just weird."

Qian Zhao spoke calmly and sent everyone away. This was his ultimate attack on Ren Ruyi. However, Zhou Chen's appearance disrupted his plan, so he was hesitant now.

Yang Ying went to the banquet, and many of the guards of the mission followed Yu Shisan to protect him. Only he and Sun Lang stayed.

Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen were both very strong in martial arts. He and Sun Lang were very confident in dealing with Ren Ruyi, but if Zhou Chen was added to the mix, they would have absolutely no chance of winning.

As for revealing Ren Ruyi's identity, he never thought about whether Zhou Chen would switch sides, because he knew very well that it was basically impossible.

No one in the entire mission could see the relationship between Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi. What's more, he suspected that Zhou Chen might have known Ren Ruyi's identity for a long time, but had just kept it hidden from them.

Zhou Chen suddenly said: "Qian Zhao, the murderous aura in your body has overflowed."

Qian Zhao clenched the heavy knife: "Zhou Chen..."

But before he could continue speaking, a flying shield suddenly shot out, heading straight for Ren Ruyi.

"retreat."

Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi flew back at the same time, avoiding the sudden blow, and landed behind a tree two feet away. The blade of the flying shield came out and flew past the tree trunk. A figure fell from the roof and caught the Flying shield.

Qian Zhao no longer hesitated and stood up holding the Kunwu knife tightly. Sun Lang fell beside him, holding the knife in one hand and a shield in the other, staring at Ren Ruyi with a fierce look.

Ren Ruyi's expression was cold, looking at the two men full of murderous intent, and asked coldly: "Why?"

Qian Zhao also said coldly: "Because you are a spy sent by Zhu Yiwei."

"I'm not."

Ren Ruyi answered loudly, but they didn't believe it at all.

Sun Lang shouted loudly: "You still want to make excuses. We all saw you contact Zhu Yiwei twice, and you still dared to slap His Highness Shen Tuchi in the government office."

"Zhou Chen, she is Zhu Yiwei's spy. We have to capture her here today. Do you still want to protect her?" Qian Zhao shouted at Zhou Chen.

Ren Ruyi also looked at Zhou Chen, his face expressionless, but his eyes were not calm at all.

Zhou Chen took two steps forward, stood in front of Ren Ruyi, and looked directly at Qian Zhao and Sun Lang.

"She is not Zhu Yiwei's spy, I can testify."

Sun Lang shouted angrily: "We all saw with our own eyes her contact with Zhu Yiwei's people, and you still want to speak for her. Zhou Chen, you are really fascinated by this witch, and you don't even have the most basic judgment." Yet?"

"She is not Zhu Yiwei's spy. The reason why she contacted Zhu Yiwei was not to betray the mission. I know this. Besides me, Ning Yuanzhou and Yuan Lu also know Ruyi's identity."

After hearing Zhou Chen's words, both Qian Zhao and Sun Lang showed incredulous expressions.

"What, you and Ning Tou'er both know her identity? Impossible, Zhou Chen, you can't lie to us. Liu Daotang and Zhu Yiwei have a blood feud. How could Ning Tou'er let her know her identity? Joining the mission, can you even say such ridiculous things in order to protect this witch?"

Sun Lang was very excited and didn't believe what Zhou Chen said at all.

Zhou Chen saw Sun Lang's excitement, so he said to Qian Zhao: "Qian Zhao, think about it carefully. Ruyi knows Anguo so well. If Ning Yuanzhou doesn't know her identity, how can she let her teach the princess? ?”

"Shut up, no matter what you say, it can't change her identity as Zhu Yiwei. Qian Zhao, don't listen to his nonsense. He was just stunned by the witch."

Sun Lang didn't listen to Zhou Chen's explanation at all, but emphasized Qian Zhao loudly.

Qian Zhao's hatred for Zhu Yiwei was no less than that of Sun Lang, so even if he knew that what Zhou Chen said might be the truth, he could not really give up taking action out of hatred.

"I only believe what I saw with my own eyes, Zhou Chen. Although you have quit Liudaotang now, don't forget that Liudaotang was once your home. Sun Lang's father was forced off the cliff by Zhu Yiwei. Chai Ming and his Tiandao brothers, as well as thousands of Dawubai names who died on this battlefield, were also killed by An Guo and Zhu Yiwei. "

Sun Lang shouted excitedly: "Yes, if Zhu Yiwei hadn't bribed Eunuch Hu to steal the military plane map, how could the 50,000-strong army have been completely defeated? Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you still want to defend her. Have you forgotten that you are Is a member of Dawu a member of the Six Paths Hall?"

Zhou Chen was not moved at all. It was not that he had no empathy, but that he had experienced more tragic things than this, so everyone was left to their own devices.

"I know everything you said, but Ruyi quit Zhu Yiwei five years ago, and what you said has nothing to do with her. As for the Tianmen Pass defeat, isn't the culprit our captured Majesty? ? If he hadn't trusted the eunuch, how could he have suffered this defeat? "

"Shut up, you dare to disrespect His Majesty and be so stubborn. If you still regard us as brothers, then get out of the way. We don't expect you to help us, but don't hinder us either."

Sun Lang and Qian Zhao were no longer patient, and Ren Ruyi was unwilling to hide behind Zhou Chen, so she stepped forward.

"This is my business. You don't need to help me. They can't catch me alone."

But how could Zhou Chen really be indifferent? He grabbed Ren Ruyi's wrist.

"You are the mother of my child, how could I not care about you, Qian Zhao, Sun Lang, if you want to take action against Ruyi, you should get through me first."

Qian Zhao shouted angrily: "Sex makes you stupid."

Sun Lang shouted: "Then don't blame us for ignoring our comrades."

The two of them raised their weapons at the same time and attacked Ren Ruyi. Ren Ruyi's eyes flashed coldly and he faced him without any fear. Zhou Chen naturally would not let Ren Ruyi take the initiative to face Qian Zhao in a one-on-one confrontation.

Qian Zhao and Sun Lang are both good at martial arts, but Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi are stronger. In a one-on-one situation, they have no chance of winning.

Qian Zhao's heavy sword is very lethal, but it also limits his movements. Zhou Chen has no weapons, but his body is agile and fast, like a swimming dragon. He has no way of touching Zhou Chen's methods, but is instead overwhelmed by Zhou Chen's powerful power. Continuous retreat.

While Zhou Chen was dealing with Qian Zhao, he was also paying attention to the fight between Ren Ruyi and Sun Lang.

As an assassin, Ren Ruyi's strongest skill is naturally her killing skills. Head-on confrontation may not be her strongest ability, but she is not weak either. At least when she fought Sun Lang head-on, she not only did not fall at a disadvantage, but also took the initiative.

Seeing the two of them fighting for several rounds, Ren Ruyi suddenly took the sword with his bare hands, took the knife from Sun Lang's hand, and scratched Sun Lang with the knife.

"As you wish, please show mercy."

"snort."

Ren Ruyi snorted lightly, but still listened to Zhou Chen's words, and did not act cruelly again, but just struggled with Sun Lang.

When Qian Zhao saw that Sun Lang was suppressed by Ren Ruyi and was injured, his face was filled with eagerness, but he himself couldn't get past Zhou Chen. Every time he wanted to help Sun Lang, Zhou Chen forced him back and he couldn't get close at all. Over there, he was furious.

"Zhou Chen, get out of the way."

Zhou Chen fought with him with ease, not greedy for merit, but just entangled him.

"Don't get excited. Ruyi won't really hurt Sun Lang. In fact, you can say anything you want. But you guys don't listen at all and insist on taking action. It's really hurtful; what I just said is all The truth is, Ning Yuanzhou really knows Ruyi’s identity and has reached a cooperation with Ruyi. If he knew that you were attacking Ruyi, he would definitely not agree. "

But Qian Zhao couldn't listen to him at all, so he used his inner strength and used force again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through Zhou Chen. Instead, his anger accumulated more and more, and his moves began to deform.
