Chu Zheng and Wu Anran left the Chu Mansion, Wu Anran said: Why, I won’t ride a carriage today
Chu Zheng said: No need, you usually ride a carriage to cover up your identity, but today the Imperial Guards are martial law throughout the city, and such an unmarked carriage is even more eye-catching. Let's walk to it.
The two left the Chu Mansion
It was already dawn at this time. Although the Imperial Guards had declared martial law across the city, there were still many shops on both sides of the street opening doors to do business. After all, for these ordinary people, survival is the first priority.
Chu Zheng passed by a breakfast shop on the corner of the road and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but slow down.
Since the Dragon and Elephant Demon Subduing Technique broke through the fifth level yesterday, Chu Zheng felt that his senses had become extremely sensitive, and he felt a chill faintly coming from the left.
Chu Zheng looked at the breakfast shop. An old man with gray hair and beard leaned against the wall with a bitter face, as if he was worried about the recession of today's business. He sat only a man in blue at five or six tables, with his back facing Chu Zheng, and his body was still moving.
Chu Zheng can confirm that the chill was coming from other places
Chu Zheng looked back at Wu Anran, and saw that she was also looking at the man, with a gloomy expression
The man in blue also had a slightly sweaty forehead. As soon as Chu Zheng came out of the Chu Mansion, he had already set his sights on him. This young man's gorgeous clothes were obviously a person with a lot of identities in the Chu Mansion. If he killed him, he would cause greater turmoil in the capital.
But I didn't expect that this young man was like a prophet, and he became alert to him as soon as he passed by.
He is also a man of a long history and immediately realized that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have messed with.
Chu Zheng looked at the man's clothes and felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to have seen them somewhere. So he walked forward a few steps, pulled the stool, sat opposite the man in green, and shouted: Shop, come breakfast
The old man was excited and responded: OK, guest official, although he didn't understand why this young man was sitting in an empty seat, he just wanted to share the same table with others, but as long as he had business, he would not care about these idle things
The man in green saw Chu Zheng staring at him without blinking, and said with a forced smile: This young man, what do you think of the villain?
Chu Zheng said lightly: There was something big in the city today, and the Minister of Justice actually killed someone. The Imperial Guard is searching all over the city. Brother Tai sat here alone, and I am afraid that someone will come to investigate it soon.
The man in green said: The villain was born with a serious family, and even if the official family came to investigate, he would be fearless.
Chu Zheng suddenly remembered that the man's clothes were obviously worn by the servants of ordinary officials in Beijing. He had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile: I wonder which elder brother is working in the mansion of the Beijing master?
The man in blue changed his face and said: "Young Master has misunderstood. The villain is just a small business in Beijing and has nothing to do with the government."
Chu Zheng snorted coldly: Is that right? After saying that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the man in blue on the shoulder
The man in green was shocked, and quickly got up and stepped back. He kicked the table over with one step. The sky was filled with juice and water flowing everywhere. Chu Zheng was so clean that he frowned and took a few steps back.
The man in green reached out and picked up the long sword under his robe. Chu Zheng sneered: What a serious man, why do you still carry a weapon with you?
Seeing that the traces were revealed, the man in blue no longer hid his head and tail. He raised his knife with both hands, exhaled and slashed at Chu Zheng with one knife.
Chu Zheng's left hand was penetrated into his sleeve, and with force, the knife of the man in blue was swept away. Then he took a step forward and punched him in the face.
The man in blue couldn't dodge and hurriedly raised his long sword to protect the face. The knife was just made of ordinary iron, so how could he block Chu Zheng's punch? With a crisp sound, the knife suddenly cracked into dozens of pieces. The man in blue reacted very quickly, and raised all his strength, and his palms came out together to hit Chu Zheng with all the blades like rain in the sky.
After all, Chu Zheng had very poor experience in facing the enemy. He was panicked for a moment and was only concerned about dodging and forgot to chase him.
The man in blue saw the opportunity and quickly turned around and ran wildly. Without a few steps, he felt a flash in front of him. The middle-aged follower next to the young man was blocking his face, and he was even more panicked. He had been following these two people for a long time, and he didn't realize that the middle-aged man was actually carrying martial arts skills.
A thought flashed through the man in blue: Could it be that this man can no longer reach the level of a master who is superficial?
The man in blue suddenly took out a scimitar from his arms, and saw that the knife was wide and the blade was very strange, forming an oval shape, and it appeared in a sky full of sword flowers to protect the whole body.
Wu Anran was stunned when he saw this knife. His palm that he had raised his hand to attack was condensed in the air.
The man in blue was strange, but his figure did not stop, and he bypassed Wu Anran and fled far away.
Wu Anran took a while to withdraw his right palm, but saw Chu Zheng looking at him coldly and said: Master, what do you mean?
Chu Zheng was extremely angry
He could almost confirm that the man was in the same group as the person who assassinated Liang Shangyun. Chu Zheng did not do his best just now because his master was still standing by, but he didn't expect that Wu Anran would watch the man run away. How much effort would it take to find them out from the vast sea of people in the capital?
Wu Anran stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Chu Zheng quietly. She could feel the anger in Chu Zheng's eyes. Chu Zheng's tone just now said, which aroused Wu Anran's arrogance. She had no intention of explaining why he let the man go.
A sound of metal and iron fighting came, and more than a hundred soldiers of the Imperial Guards rushed over and surrounded the two of them.
A young man in the uniform of an Imperial Guard took a step forward and shouted: Are you two fighting just now?
Chu Zheng gradually calmed down, remembering that Wu Anran had been teaching him hard for so many years, and regarded himself as his own offspring, and caring for him. Although he often had a stern face, he had angered him many times, and Wu Anran had never really gotten angry. Otherwise, with her martial arts, she would have lost her ten lives. It can be said that she has been treating herself sincerely over the years. How could she become suspicious about a small matter.
Chu Zheng took a step forward and bowed to Wu Anran and said: The disciple was just now rude. Master, the disciple knew his mistake.
Wu Anran looked at Chu Zheng in disbelief. When did this apprentice take the initiative to admit his mistake? Gradually, a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes.
The young officer was furious when he saw these two people treating him as nothing, and he let out a crooked sound of his waist: Catch them both
Wait! A voice suddenly came
The young officer looked back and sneered: General Fang, why, the official is performing official duties, can you interfere?
Chu Zheng looked at him sideways. General Fang was nothing but Fang Zhongcheng, who could become his brother-in-law.
Fang Zhongcheng nodded to Chu Zheng and said to the young general with a smile: Why, Chu Shenshou, do you really want to capture these two people?
When Chu Zheng heard that the man was from the Chu family, he knew that Fang Zhongcheng had bad intentions. He didn't want Fang Zhongcheng to laugh at him, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed: It turned out to be Shen Shou's cousin, and his younger brother Chu Zheng met his cousin.
Chu Shenshou looked him up and down, but he didn't call Chu Zheng a polite, and snorted: You are the little five of that family. I heard from your third brother Chu Yuan that you are amazing.
Chu Zheng was stunned and immediately understood
He also heard Chu Yuan say that the disciples of the Chu family in the Imperial Guard are not a solid piece of cake, and how many of them are quite hostile to their family
Some of these people were released from the capital by their father because their elders were released from the capital by their father, while others were quite close to the young masters of the Yuan-Ku family and disliked Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan. Although Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan had taught them a lesson, they had not been in the capital for a long time, and those people were still hugging each other in private.
Chu Yuan once said the names of them, but the Chu family members of this generation all use the name Shen, so they all sound similar.
Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan are both adults, and have already sacrificed their ancestors before leaving the capital and changed their names.
Chu Zheng did not take this matter seriously at that time, so he did not take the heart to remember the names of those people. Now seeing Chu Shenshou's expression, Chu Zheng vaguely remembered that this person was also one of those people.
Chu Zheng glanced at Fang Zhongcheng, who was beside him, thought to himself that he would be able to show him a joke today.
Fang Zhongcheng still smiled. He saw Chu Shenshou face Chu Zheng just now, and he knew that regardless of whether Chu Zheng showed his identity or not, a good show would not be gone today.
Chu Zheng stood up straight and said lightly: Has my third brother really said this? Then that's right, third brother rarely lies.
Fang Zhongcheng smiled and thought that this future brother-in-law is really an interesting person
Chu Shenshou was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he understood what Chu Zheng meant, and said angrily: Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan have both left Beijing, so what qualifications do you have to be so arrogant?
Chu Zheng snorted: If I want to be arrogant, why should I rely on others
Chu Shenshou was extremely angry, but he was scruples and did not dare to go forward and said: "Boy, you just rely on your father as the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson today."
After saying that, he pointed at Wu Anran and said to the soldiers of the Imperial Guard behind him: Arrest this person and take it back to the Ministry of Justice for a good questioning
The young master who can't afford to offend the Grand Marshal, this middle-aged literati can still afford to offend him.
The soldiers responded in unison and walked towards Wu Anran
Wu Anran's face turned cold, and his drooping left hand swelled into a claw shape. He was about to record the few soldiers who were not eyed in front. Soul Search Hand
Chu Zheng saw clearly that he didn't want to make things worse and said: This is a guest official from the Taiwei Mansion, so he must not be rude.
The soldiers were stunned and stopped. The people from the Taiwei Mansion did not catch them at all. They all looked back at Chu Shenshou.
Fang Zhongcheng coughed and said: General Chu, this gentleman is also aware of him. He is indeed from the Taiwei Mansion, so you don’t have to make things difficult for him.
Although he didn't know Wu Anran, when he saw Chu Zheng coming forward to protect the middle-aged man, he knew that the two had a good relationship, so he helped his future brother-in-law.
Chu Shenshouzheng wanted to find a way, but when he saw Fang Zhongcheng stopping him, he said angrily: Could it be that there will be no thieves in the Taiwei Mansion? Although he said that, Chu Shenshou still signaled the soldiers to retreat.
Chu Zheng was angry and remembered that Chu Yuan once said that he wanted to establish his authority among the two disciples of the Chu King in the army. These people must teach them a lesson. Moreover, he will report to the army in the next two days. This guy happened to be delivered to him. He was so rude, so of course he should not miss it.
So he pretended to be angry and said: Shut up, how can you slander the Taiwei Mansion allow you to slander it!
Chu Shenshou glanced at him and said: Today is already giving face to your Taiwei Mansion, otherwise, hum...
Chu Zheng spread his hands and said: It seems you want to teach me a lesson? Then come on, I'm here to wait for you.
Chu Shenshou sneered: You are the son of the Grand Marshal. I have injured you. I can't afford to explain to you in front of the Grand Marshal.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: How could the eldest brother and the third brother have never relied on their father's power in the Imperial Guard? Today's affairs only concern you and me, and have nothing to do with the elders in the family.
Fang Zhongcheng applauded: OK, this official is notarized by two people, one on one, no one can win by relying on more people.
Chu Shenshou said: What a joke, do I have to win against this child?
Chu Zheng smiled and said: It doesn’t matter if you have a few more, I can see how thick your skin is.
Fang Zhongcheng smiled and said: Yes, one more person is that you, Chu Shenshou, is a bit thick-skinned. It is not necessary to bully the small by bullying the small. If more than a hundred people rushed forward, General Chu's face would be better than the city walls of the capital.
Chu Shenshou glared at him, knowing that he was definitely not the opponent of the young master of the Fang family, so he simply ignored him and said to Chu Zheng: Since you want to fight, you can't blame me for this official.
Chu Shenshou took off his armor and handed it to a soldier behind him. He twisted his hands and clattered his joints.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: What are you doing? If I hadn't seen your military uniform, I would have thought I had encountered a street juggling.
Chu Shen was angry and waved to Chu Zheng, saying: Come on, I will let you three moves, so that others will not say that I will bully the small ones with the big ones.
Chu Zheng seemed to be smiling and said: Are you serious?
Chu Shenshou said: Of course it is true. You can ask these brothers when I, Chu Shenshou, will not keep my word?
Chu Zheng nodded and said: Then you still have some merits. After saying that, he punched Chu Shenshou.
Chu Shenshou dodged sideways and said: First...
Before the letter of "名" was released, Fang Zhongcheng and others felt a flash in front of them. Chu Shenshou's body had already risen into the air, and he turned several times in the air like a wheel, and fell to the ground face down, swallowing the letter of "名" back.
After Chu Zheng punched the air, he followed the trend and hit Chu Shenshou again. At the same time, he swept his right foot and kicked Chu Shenshou's calf. There was nothing surprising about the move, but the speed was extremely fast, and even Fang Zhongcheng didn't see it clearly.
Chu Shenshou's face was covered in dust, and he struggled for a long time before he got up from the ground. Chu Zheng said lightly: I've made two punches and one kick just now, and three moves have passed. You can just take action.
Chu Shenshou roared at Chu Zheng and punched Chu Zheng in the face. This punch had already exerted all his strength, and his sleeves were rushing in the air. But in Chu Zheng's eyes, his speed was as slow as a three-year-old child, but he only sank his head and shoulders, and Chu Shenshou slammed into the air.
Chu Zheng grabbed his collar, raised him up, weighed it again, and felt that the weight was not as good as the two sledgehammers left in the camp on the southern line. He threw it away and threw Chu Shenshou five or six feet away.
Fang Zhongcheng looked straight at it. Chu Shen was a brave man in the Imperial Guard, otherwise he would not have the courage to fight Chu Xuan. Chu Yuan challenged many times, but he didn't expect that Chu Zheng's hand would become like a big sandbag and thrown around. No wonder his father once said that he was the future peerless general of the Great Zhao Kingdom.
Chu Zheng walked forward and saw Chu Shenshou's face full of pain. It seemed that he had fallen a lot this time. Seeing Chu Zheng coming, Chu Shenshou's eyes were full of anger.
Chu Zheng picked him up and said to the team of guards: Take your general back and have a good rest.
After saying that, he threw Chu Shenshou over
The soldiers were afraid of hurting Chu Shenshou, so they quickly put down their weapons to pick him up.
Although Chu Zheng did not carry out his capacity, Chu Shenshou, a big man who flew from the air, was definitely not light. He heard a raucous sound and the imperial guards fell a large number of them.
Chu Zheng clapped his hands and hugged Fang Zhongcheng and fisted. After all, he had only spoken out for help when Chu Shenshou wanted to capture Wu Anran. Otherwise, with Wu Anran's temperament, the street would probably be bleeding all over the ground.
Seeing Chu Zheng turning around and leaving, Fang Zhongcheng hurriedly came forward and said, "Where are you going, the fifth young master? A bloody case has just occurred in this capital, and the imperial guards have been martial law all over the city. The fifth young master and this gentleman are walking on the streets like this. I'm afraid it's not very safe. It's better to send you a ride to me for your brother.
Seeing Fang Zhongcheng laughing very attentively, Chu Zheng knew that he came to please him for his second sister, and probably wanted to ask about the second sister's rumor, but he was going to Yingtang, so how could he let him follow him? So he smiled and said: Brother Fang Shi's kindness is appreciated. I just want to go to the grandfather's house in the Marquis of Jingbei. The road is full of a prosperous road, so I won't bother Brother Fang Shi.
Fang Zhongcheng smiled and said: It's okay, I'm ordered to patrol everywhere, and it's the same everywhere, and the house of Mr. Wang also needs key protection. I'll accompany you to go with me.
Chu Zheng didn't expect Fang Zhongcheng to stick to him, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: Brother Fang Shi, Liang Shangyun, the Minister of Justice, had just been stabbed, and the Imperial Guards were searching for murderers all over the city. Brother Fang Shi was leaving business but came to accompany me, a boring idle person, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
Fang Zhongcheng was stunned and said dryly: The news of the fifth young master is indeed well-versed, you will know so soon
Chu Zheng was speechless. It was almost two hours before Liang Shangyun was assassinated. I am afraid that the civilians in the capital also knew about it, not to mention that he was still the son of the Taiwei family.
Fang Zhongcheng sighed: When Liang Shangyun died, our Imperial Guards were so busy that they were caught. But most of them were robbers, and they had nothing to do with this case. Those murderers seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and they could not find any clues. Five young masters, you and I are all from the three major families. You and I know that no one has reason to kill Liang Shangshu in this capital. It is certain that this matter must be done by outsiders. Moreover, these murderers have been in the capital for a long time, so there must be a hidden place to hide. It is definitely not a place like inns and brothels where the guards and the Ministry of Justice always search these places, and they cannot find any clues.
Chu Zheng remembered that the man in blue was wearing the clothes of a servant just now, and nodded secretly. This Fang Zhongcheng speculated that it was very reasonable, and it seemed that he was not an incompetent person.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: What Brother Fang Shi said was very true. Speaking of brothels, I once heard that 80% of brothels in Beijing were the Fang family's property. I wonder if it is true or false?
Fang Zhongcheng disagreed. This matter was a secret matter for others, but it could never be concealed from the two families of the King of Chu. He laughed and said: Those are nothing, they are just providing leisurely entertainment for the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.
Chu Zheng said maliciously: But someone is not very happy to hear this.
Fang Zhongcheng suddenly sank and said: These are all industries outside the Fang family, but I have never been to such places.
Chu Zheng smiled sinisterly: Yes, why did the third brother say that he had fought with you somewhere? Could it be that I was wrong to hear it?
Fang Zhongcheng looked embarrassed. Their children of officials were young and frivolous, and they were full of energy. Is there still less romantic affairs? It's just that if Chu Xin knows about this, it will be troublesome.
He then clasped his fists and said: Fifth Young Master, please show mercy and say a few good words to your brother. If you can be useful in the future, you must do your best to be your brother.
Chu Zheng said: That's not necessary, but I ask Brother Fang Shi for help if there is something in front of me.
Fang Zhongcheng hurriedly said: The fifth young master, please tell me, as long as Fang can do it, I will never refuse.
Chu Zheng said: There is a Wanhualou in the capital, Brother Fang Shi must know that the third brother Chu Yuan has a confidante here. Before leaving the capital, he asked his younger brother to take care of her. Since it was the elder brother's fate, I was not easy to refuse. But recently I heard that your Fang family suppressed Wanhualou very tightly. This Wanhualou is where the woman stands. Please ask Brother Fang Shi to show mercy.
Fang Zhongcheng smiled and said: Since the fifth young master is talking to them, there are three young masters inside. There is a small matter. After my brother returns, I will order those servants not to make things difficult for Wanhualou.
Chu Zheng clasped his fists and said: Thank you Brother Fang Shi.
Fang Zhongcheng agreed, but he was a little suspicious.
The Fang family has been making things difficult for Wanhualou for a long time. If it was really the case with Chu Yuan, why didn’t he tell him personally before leaving Beijing and asked Chu Zheng to tell him?
After the Chu family reconciled, Chu Yuan and him did not fight or get to know each other. Although it only took a few days, the private relationship was already good.
Could it be that Chu Zheng’s own affairs are entrusted with Chu Yuan’s name?
However, thinking that the five young masters might be his fellow disciples, Fang Zhongcheng felt relieved and thought that this would be much easier. So he took a step and said softly: Although this Wanhua Building is one of the four brothels in the capital, most of the girls inside are gentle and delicate. Those who go here are old-fashioned people. The fifth young masters don’t know when they have time. You and I will gather at Piaoxiang Pavilion, where the women are bold and stingy. The eldest and third young masters usually go here to drink and have fun.
Chu Zheng was moved, but when he thought about Wu Anran, he hurriedly said: Brother Fang is such a bad word. Since ancient times, his beauty has been in trouble. Is it possible for me to go to the fireworks and willows? If you are greedy for beauty and waste your studies, wouldn’t it be contrary to the teachings of the sages and sages?
Fang Zhongcheng saw Chu Zheng speak righteously, but his expression was not so firm. His eyes kept glancing at the person next to him. He felt a move in his heart and bowed to Wu Anran and said: I don’t know what sir is calling him?
Chu Zheng replied on the side: This is my younger teacher, Mr. Wu.
Fang Zhongcheng thought to himself that this was no wonder. He said the words of admiration and gave Wu Anran the younger tribute.
Wu Anran did not dare to neglect and also returned a gift. Since this young master agreed not to make things difficult for Wanhualou, Wu Anran could have done some incense for Tianmeimen, so he was also polite to this young master.
Chu Zheng thought that the deacons in the Eagle Hall were still waiting in the meeting hall, so he stopped staying for a long time, so he said his resignation to Fang Zhongcheng.
Fang Zhongcheng still insisted on seeing him off, Chu Zheng was wise and said: Brother Fang Shi, I heard from my second sister yesterday that she made an appointment with the second lady of Cui, the Minister of Personnel, to visit her mansion today, but the city is so chaotic, Brother Shi, you should go there and take a look, so as not to disturb my second sister by ordinary people.
This is not a false statement. Chu Xin mentioned this matter, but Wang Xiuhe had already ordered her not to go out again this morning
Fang Zhongcheng was indeed trapped and had no intention of staying here again. He accused Wu Anran and Chu Zheng and left in a hurry
Fang Zhongcheng was much more careful than his boss Zhao Wuji. Although he was anxious to see Chu Xin, he still ordered his soldiers to get a carriage from a nearby carriage business and escort the two to the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
Seeing that Fang Zhongcheng had left, Chu Zheng put on airs and refused to let the soldiers escort them, and ordered them to fulfill their duties and quickly search for the criminals.
Seeing that Chu Zheng insisted on doing this, the leading soldier did not dare to disobey his orders, so he had to agree.
The coachman was an old man in his fifties. He was pulled over by a group of soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. He didn't know what was going on and looked panicked.
The leading soldier shouted to the old man: Send the young master and his wife to the Marquis of Jingbei. If you have any inconsideration, be careful, I will take your head off.
When the old man heard that he was just driving, he felt relieved and said,
The soldier bowed to Chu Zheng and Wu Anran and said: Fifth Young Master, Mr. Wu, please leave, the car is small, you have already paid
When Chu Zheng saw that the old man looked unfair, he didn't look like he had collected money from the car. He didn't say anything, and said goodbye to everyone, and got in the car with Wu Anran, and drove to the Marquis' Mansion of Jingbei.
Turning over an intersection, Chu Zheng poked his head and said: Old man, don’t go to the Marquis of Jingbei Mansion for now, you can take us to Maming Lane
The old man saw that the people from the Imperial Guard were also very respectful to the two of them and did not dare to disobey them. He quickly turned his horse's head and drove towards Maming Lane
The carriage suddenly fell silent, and Chu Zheng and Wu Anran looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
Over the years, it was the first time that the master and apprentice had a grudge between them. Although Chu Zheng had admitted his mistake first, the two were still a little unnatural.
Those sergeants were probably anxious. Although the carriage he picked looked glamorous, he kept jogging when he sat down. Wu Anran listened to the squeaking sound of the wheels, his eyes were a little confused.
Suddenly, Chu Zheng asked: Is that person a member of my holy sect?
Wu Anran looked at Chu Zheng and saw Chu Zheng looking at him. His originally childish face was quite mature.
When Chu Zheng saw Wu Anran, he did not answer, and was not in a hurry, and continued to say on his own: Assassination of Liang Shangyun was no good for the capital, and the knowledgeable people in the court, such as Fang Zhongcheng, also saw that since it was not the people of our Great Zhao, it was easy to judge who ordered the Eastern Wu to be in a corner and remained in peace with the world; the Southern Qi side was defeated and could not take care of themselves; only the Western Qin was always eyeing our dynasty.
Now in terms of national strength, the Great Zhao has been peaceful for decades, while the Western Qin Dynasty was in a state of civil strife, and Zhao should be above Qin.
Regarding generals, our great Zhao has also emerged in many famous generals. Guo Huai and Guo Guo and others are definitely not under the Western Qin Xue Fangzhong.
However, over the years, the Zhao king and his ministers have been fighting for the inside and have been unable to do externally
After my father arrived in the court, the entire court gradually stabilized, and the three major families formed an alliance. The emperor is now unable to compete with the Western Qin and our Great Zhao for many years, and the two sides have become enemies. In this case, in another three or five years, if the Western Qin does not come to attack the Great Zhao, our Great Zhao will also use troops to the Western Qin. If the disciple is the King of Qin, he will not sit idly by and watch the Zhao State become stronger and stronger. He will try every means to make the Zhao State become chaotic, so that the Western Qin can take advantage of it.
Wu Anran couldn't help but smile: If I were the King of Qin, haha, you are such a bad boy, and you dare to compare with the king.
Chu Zheng was happy when he saw Wu Anran start calling him a bad boy, and obviously he had begun to return to normal.
He used to this master casually and smiled and said, "So what, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang called out kings, princes, generals and ministers back then, wouldn't he have any traitors? Besides, in the eyes of the people of Great Zhao, this King of Qin is just a traitor.
Wu Anran said in a deep voice: Who is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? You also use their words to talk nonsense. Do you really want to rebel?
Chu Zheng knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed several times.
Wu Anran said: You just said something and analyzed the major events in the world very thoroughly. As a teacher, I can't tell that you have such ability.
Chu Zheng smiled dryly: Most of it is heard from his father, and partly it is just a disciple's guess, and it's no big deal.
Wu Anran refused to comment and suddenly said: How do you know that the person today is my Holy Gate's son?
Did the master forget that on that day, on the Wanhua Tower, the leader of the Mei Sect, Xu Jingqing, once said that the Holy Sect Hall had defected to the Western Qin Dynasty and became the minion of the King of Qin?
Chu Zheng shrugged and said, "Master is unpredictable today. He is kind and ruthless to that person, and he has no such demeanor as a demonic scholar you brag about to his disciple back then. If the disciple can't imagine it again, wouldn't it be too stupid."
Wu Anran was silent for a long time before slowly saying: You guessed that the arc-bending sword in the man's hand was the unique weapon of the Holy Sect Blood Sword Sect. He was very conflicted at the time. After all, the Blood Shadow Sect is a demon sect. Although the rules of the sect do not stipulate that the Holy Sect General Hall is respected, he has been with other sects for many years. When he was young, he went to the Western Regions and had a good relationship with Helian Xue, the leader of the Blood Sword Sect, and others, and was not like Xu Jingqing. He had already vowed to withdraw from the Holy Sect. How could you let the master attack Helian Xue's disciples?
Chu Zheng nodded and said: The disciple understands that the master is thinking of the old friend, but the Holy Sect assassinated my important minister of Great Zhao. Although the disciple is a descendant of the Blood Shadow Sect, he is also a subject of Great Zhao. Confucianism once said: Heaven and Earth, the king, the relatives and teachers, whether for the king or for the Chu family, the disciple will not let these people from the Holy Sect return to Western Qin again.
Wu Anran sighed: I know your difficulties too. I will expel you from the Blood Shadow Sect. You will be less concerned about them in the future. Anyway, the internal strength you practice is the Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Art. No one will see that you are a member of the Holy Sect. But since you are the master of the Eagle Hall and there are many masters in the hall, it will not be your turn to do it yourself.
The carriage was quite narrow. Chu Zheng bent down and barely bowed to Wu Anran and said: Well, the disciple will withdraw from the Blood Shadow Sect today.
Wu Anran said angrily: You are not as careless as you? At least you have the incense table placed in the mansion and tell the seniors of the masters.
Chu Zheng laughed and said: Disciple... Oh no, I have always been more important than my heart and less than my body. Although I have withdrawn from the Blood Shadow Sect, I still regard you as my master, and not many people know that you accept me as your disciple. Why bother so much? After these people are killed, I will return to the Blood Shadow Sect.
Wu Anran snorted and said: What do you think is the Blood Shadow Sect? If you want to enter, if you want to go, if you want to go,
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Didn’t you say that the disciple is a peerless genius? Can the rules of the Blood Shadow Sect be relaxed for those geniuses like the disciple?
Wu Anran was about to scold him, but the old man who was driving knocked on the car door and said: Two guests, Ma Ming Lane has arrived.
Chu Zheng quickly jumped out of the car and said to the old man: OK, let's get here, go back
The old man was a little afraid and said: Those military officials had told me that the two guests must be sent to the Marquis of Jingbei Mansion
After Chu Zheng had been a sucker at Wanhualou that day, he finally understood the importance of change. He took out a few stakes of money from his arms and handed it to the old man, saying: Those soldiers still have to obey my orders, don't worry, take the money back.
The old man was overjoyed. He thought that today was a bad star, but he didn't expect that he met a God of Wealth. He hurriedly took the money and thanked him repeatedly, and drove back.
Chu Zheng said: No need, you usually ride a carriage to cover up your identity, but today the Imperial Guards are martial law throughout the city, and such an unmarked carriage is even more eye-catching. Let's walk to it.
The two left the Chu Mansion
It was already dawn at this time. Although the Imperial Guards had declared martial law across the city, there were still many shops on both sides of the street opening doors to do business. After all, for these ordinary people, survival is the first priority.
Chu Zheng passed by a breakfast shop on the corner of the road and suddenly felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help but slow down.
Since the Dragon and Elephant Demon Subduing Technique broke through the fifth level yesterday, Chu Zheng felt that his senses had become extremely sensitive, and he felt a chill faintly coming from the left.
Chu Zheng looked at the breakfast shop. An old man with gray hair and beard leaned against the wall with a bitter face, as if he was worried about the recession of today's business. He sat only a man in blue at five or six tables, with his back facing Chu Zheng, and his body was still moving.
Chu Zheng can confirm that the chill was coming from other places
Chu Zheng looked back at Wu Anran, and saw that she was also looking at the man, with a gloomy expression
The man in blue also had a slightly sweaty forehead. As soon as Chu Zheng came out of the Chu Mansion, he had already set his sights on him. This young man's gorgeous clothes were obviously a person with a lot of identities in the Chu Mansion. If he killed him, he would cause greater turmoil in the capital.
But I didn't expect that this young man was like a prophet, and he became alert to him as soon as he passed by.
He is also a man of a long history and immediately realized that he had messed with someone he shouldn't have messed with.
Chu Zheng looked at the man's clothes and felt that he looked familiar. He seemed to have seen them somewhere. So he walked forward a few steps, pulled the stool, sat opposite the man in green, and shouted: Shop, come breakfast
The old man was excited and responded: OK, guest official, although he didn't understand why this young man was sitting in an empty seat, he just wanted to share the same table with others, but as long as he had business, he would not care about these idle things
The man in green saw Chu Zheng staring at him without blinking, and said with a forced smile: This young man, what do you think of the villain?
Chu Zheng said lightly: There was something big in the city today, and the Minister of Justice actually killed someone. The Imperial Guard is searching all over the city. Brother Tai sat here alone, and I am afraid that someone will come to investigate it soon.
The man in green said: The villain was born with a serious family, and even if the official family came to investigate, he would be fearless.
Chu Zheng suddenly remembered that the man's clothes were obviously worn by the servants of ordinary officials in Beijing. He had a flash of inspiration and said with a smile: I wonder which elder brother is working in the mansion of the Beijing master?
The man in blue changed his face and said: "Young Master has misunderstood. The villain is just a small business in Beijing and has nothing to do with the government."
Chu Zheng snorted coldly: Is that right? After saying that, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the man in blue on the shoulder
The man in green was shocked, and quickly got up and stepped back. He kicked the table over with one step. The sky was filled with juice and water flowing everywhere. Chu Zheng was so clean that he frowned and took a few steps back.
The man in green reached out and picked up the long sword under his robe. Chu Zheng sneered: What a serious man, why do you still carry a weapon with you?
Seeing that the traces were revealed, the man in blue no longer hid his head and tail. He raised his knife with both hands, exhaled and slashed at Chu Zheng with one knife.
Chu Zheng's left hand was penetrated into his sleeve, and with force, the knife of the man in blue was swept away. Then he took a step forward and punched him in the face.
The man in blue couldn't dodge and hurriedly raised his long sword to protect the face. The knife was just made of ordinary iron, so how could he block Chu Zheng's punch? With a crisp sound, the knife suddenly cracked into dozens of pieces. The man in blue reacted very quickly, and raised all his strength, and his palms came out together to hit Chu Zheng with all the blades like rain in the sky.
After all, Chu Zheng had very poor experience in facing the enemy. He was panicked for a moment and was only concerned about dodging and forgot to chase him.
The man in blue saw the opportunity and quickly turned around and ran wildly. Without a few steps, he felt a flash in front of him. The middle-aged follower next to the young man was blocking his face, and he was even more panicked. He had been following these two people for a long time, and he didn't realize that the middle-aged man was actually carrying martial arts skills.
A thought flashed through the man in blue: Could it be that this man can no longer reach the level of a master who is superficial?
The man in blue suddenly took out a scimitar from his arms, and saw that the knife was wide and the blade was very strange, forming an oval shape, and it appeared in a sky full of sword flowers to protect the whole body.
Wu Anran was stunned when he saw this knife. His palm that he had raised his hand to attack was condensed in the air.
The man in blue was strange, but his figure did not stop, and he bypassed Wu Anran and fled far away.
Wu Anran took a while to withdraw his right palm, but saw Chu Zheng looking at him coldly and said: Master, what do you mean?
Chu Zheng was extremely angry
He could almost confirm that the man was in the same group as the person who assassinated Liang Shangyun. Chu Zheng did not do his best just now because his master was still standing by, but he didn't expect that Wu Anran would watch the man run away. How much effort would it take to find them out from the vast sea of people in the capital?
Wu Anran stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Chu Zheng quietly. She could feel the anger in Chu Zheng's eyes. Chu Zheng's tone just now said, which aroused Wu Anran's arrogance. She had no intention of explaining why he let the man go.
A sound of metal and iron fighting came, and more than a hundred soldiers of the Imperial Guards rushed over and surrounded the two of them.
A young man in the uniform of an Imperial Guard took a step forward and shouted: Are you two fighting just now?
Chu Zheng gradually calmed down, remembering that Wu Anran had been teaching him hard for so many years, and regarded himself as his own offspring, and caring for him. Although he often had a stern face, he had angered him many times, and Wu Anran had never really gotten angry. Otherwise, with her martial arts, she would have lost her ten lives. It can be said that she has been treating herself sincerely over the years. How could she become suspicious about a small matter.
Chu Zheng took a step forward and bowed to Wu Anran and said: The disciple was just now rude. Master, the disciple knew his mistake.
Wu Anran looked at Chu Zheng in disbelief. When did this apprentice take the initiative to admit his mistake? Gradually, a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes.
The young officer was furious when he saw these two people treating him as nothing, and he let out a crooked sound of his waist: Catch them both
Wait! A voice suddenly came
The young officer looked back and sneered: General Fang, why, the official is performing official duties, can you interfere?
Chu Zheng looked at him sideways. General Fang was nothing but Fang Zhongcheng, who could become his brother-in-law.
Fang Zhongcheng nodded to Chu Zheng and said to the young general with a smile: Why, Chu Shenshou, do you really want to capture these two people?
When Chu Zheng heard that the man was from the Chu family, he knew that Fang Zhongcheng had bad intentions. He didn't want Fang Zhongcheng to laugh at him, so he quickly stepped forward and bowed: It turned out to be Shen Shou's cousin, and his younger brother Chu Zheng met his cousin.
Chu Shenshou looked him up and down, but he didn't call Chu Zheng a polite, and snorted: You are the little five of that family. I heard from your third brother Chu Yuan that you are amazing.
Chu Zheng was stunned and immediately understood
He also heard Chu Yuan say that the disciples of the Chu family in the Imperial Guard are not a solid piece of cake, and how many of them are quite hostile to their family
Some of these people were released from the capital by their father because their elders were released from the capital by their father, while others were quite close to the young masters of the Yuan-Ku family and disliked Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan. Although Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan had taught them a lesson, they had not been in the capital for a long time, and those people were still hugging each other in private.
Chu Yuan once said the names of them, but the Chu family members of this generation all use the name Shen, so they all sound similar.
Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan are both adults, and have already sacrificed their ancestors before leaving the capital and changed their names.
Chu Zheng did not take this matter seriously at that time, so he did not take the heart to remember the names of those people. Now seeing Chu Shenshou's expression, Chu Zheng vaguely remembered that this person was also one of those people.
Chu Zheng glanced at Fang Zhongcheng, who was beside him, thought to himself that he would be able to show him a joke today.
Fang Zhongcheng still smiled. He saw Chu Shenshou face Chu Zheng just now, and he knew that regardless of whether Chu Zheng showed his identity or not, a good show would not be gone today.
Chu Zheng stood up straight and said lightly: Has my third brother really said this? Then that's right, third brother rarely lies.
Fang Zhongcheng smiled and thought that this future brother-in-law is really an interesting person
Chu Shenshou was stunned for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he understood what Chu Zheng meant, and said angrily: Chu Xuan and Chu Yuan have both left Beijing, so what qualifications do you have to be so arrogant?
Chu Zheng snorted: If I want to be arrogant, why should I rely on others
Chu Shenshou was extremely angry, but he was scruples and did not dare to go forward and said: "Boy, you just rely on your father as the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson today."
After saying that, he pointed at Wu Anran and said to the soldiers of the Imperial Guard behind him: Arrest this person and take it back to the Ministry of Justice for a good questioning
The young master who can't afford to offend the Grand Marshal, this middle-aged literati can still afford to offend him.
The soldiers responded in unison and walked towards Wu Anran
Wu Anran's face turned cold, and his drooping left hand swelled into a claw shape. He was about to record the few soldiers who were not eyed in front. Soul Search Hand
Chu Zheng saw clearly that he didn't want to make things worse and said: This is a guest official from the Taiwei Mansion, so he must not be rude.
The soldiers were stunned and stopped. The people from the Taiwei Mansion did not catch them at all. They all looked back at Chu Shenshou.
Fang Zhongcheng coughed and said: General Chu, this gentleman is also aware of him. He is indeed from the Taiwei Mansion, so you don’t have to make things difficult for him.
Although he didn't know Wu Anran, when he saw Chu Zheng coming forward to protect the middle-aged man, he knew that the two had a good relationship, so he helped his future brother-in-law.
Chu Shenshouzheng wanted to find a way, but when he saw Fang Zhongcheng stopping him, he said angrily: Could it be that there will be no thieves in the Taiwei Mansion? Although he said that, Chu Shenshou still signaled the soldiers to retreat.
Chu Zheng was angry and remembered that Chu Yuan once said that he wanted to establish his authority among the two disciples of the Chu King in the army. These people must teach them a lesson. Moreover, he will report to the army in the next two days. This guy happened to be delivered to him. He was so rude, so of course he should not miss it.
So he pretended to be angry and said: Shut up, how can you slander the Taiwei Mansion allow you to slander it!
Chu Shenshou glanced at him and said: Today is already giving face to your Taiwei Mansion, otherwise, hum...
Chu Zheng spread his hands and said: It seems you want to teach me a lesson? Then come on, I'm here to wait for you.
Chu Shenshou sneered: You are the son of the Grand Marshal. I have injured you. I can't afford to explain to you in front of the Grand Marshal.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: How could the eldest brother and the third brother have never relied on their father's power in the Imperial Guard? Today's affairs only concern you and me, and have nothing to do with the elders in the family.
Fang Zhongcheng applauded: OK, this official is notarized by two people, one on one, no one can win by relying on more people.
Chu Shenshou said: What a joke, do I have to win against this child?
Chu Zheng smiled and said: It doesn’t matter if you have a few more, I can see how thick your skin is.
Fang Zhongcheng smiled and said: Yes, one more person is that you, Chu Shenshou, is a bit thick-skinned. It is not necessary to bully the small by bullying the small. If more than a hundred people rushed forward, General Chu's face would be better than the city walls of the capital.
Chu Shenshou glared at him, knowing that he was definitely not the opponent of the young master of the Fang family, so he simply ignored him and said to Chu Zheng: Since you want to fight, you can't blame me for this official.
Chu Shenshou took off his armor and handed it to a soldier behind him. He twisted his hands and clattered his joints.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: What are you doing? If I hadn't seen your military uniform, I would have thought I had encountered a street juggling.
Chu Shen was angry and waved to Chu Zheng, saying: Come on, I will let you three moves, so that others will not say that I will bully the small ones with the big ones.
Chu Zheng seemed to be smiling and said: Are you serious?
Chu Shenshou said: Of course it is true. You can ask these brothers when I, Chu Shenshou, will not keep my word?
Chu Zheng nodded and said: Then you still have some merits. After saying that, he punched Chu Shenshou.
Chu Shenshou dodged sideways and said: First...
Before the letter of "名" was released, Fang Zhongcheng and others felt a flash in front of them. Chu Shenshou's body had already risen into the air, and he turned several times in the air like a wheel, and fell to the ground face down, swallowing the letter of "名" back.
After Chu Zheng punched the air, he followed the trend and hit Chu Shenshou again. At the same time, he swept his right foot and kicked Chu Shenshou's calf. There was nothing surprising about the move, but the speed was extremely fast, and even Fang Zhongcheng didn't see it clearly.
Chu Shenshou's face was covered in dust, and he struggled for a long time before he got up from the ground. Chu Zheng said lightly: I've made two punches and one kick just now, and three moves have passed. You can just take action.
Chu Shenshou roared at Chu Zheng and punched Chu Zheng in the face. This punch had already exerted all his strength, and his sleeves were rushing in the air. But in Chu Zheng's eyes, his speed was as slow as a three-year-old child, but he only sank his head and shoulders, and Chu Shenshou slammed into the air.
Chu Zheng grabbed his collar, raised him up, weighed it again, and felt that the weight was not as good as the two sledgehammers left in the camp on the southern line. He threw it away and threw Chu Shenshou five or six feet away.
Fang Zhongcheng looked straight at it. Chu Shen was a brave man in the Imperial Guard, otherwise he would not have the courage to fight Chu Xuan. Chu Yuan challenged many times, but he didn't expect that Chu Zheng's hand would become like a big sandbag and thrown around. No wonder his father once said that he was the future peerless general of the Great Zhao Kingdom.
Chu Zheng walked forward and saw Chu Shenshou's face full of pain. It seemed that he had fallen a lot this time. Seeing Chu Zheng coming, Chu Shenshou's eyes were full of anger.
Chu Zheng picked him up and said to the team of guards: Take your general back and have a good rest.
After saying that, he threw Chu Shenshou over
The soldiers were afraid of hurting Chu Shenshou, so they quickly put down their weapons to pick him up.
Although Chu Zheng did not carry out his capacity, Chu Shenshou, a big man who flew from the air, was definitely not light. He heard a raucous sound and the imperial guards fell a large number of them.
Chu Zheng clapped his hands and hugged Fang Zhongcheng and fisted. After all, he had only spoken out for help when Chu Shenshou wanted to capture Wu Anran. Otherwise, with Wu Anran's temperament, the street would probably be bleeding all over the ground.
Seeing Chu Zheng turning around and leaving, Fang Zhongcheng hurriedly came forward and said, "Where are you going, the fifth young master? A bloody case has just occurred in this capital, and the imperial guards have been martial law all over the city. The fifth young master and this gentleman are walking on the streets like this. I'm afraid it's not very safe. It's better to send you a ride to me for your brother.
Seeing Fang Zhongcheng laughing very attentively, Chu Zheng knew that he came to please him for his second sister, and probably wanted to ask about the second sister's rumor, but he was going to Yingtang, so how could he let him follow him? So he smiled and said: Brother Fang Shi's kindness is appreciated. I just want to go to the grandfather's house in the Marquis of Jingbei. The road is full of a prosperous road, so I won't bother Brother Fang Shi.
Fang Zhongcheng smiled and said: It's okay, I'm ordered to patrol everywhere, and it's the same everywhere, and the house of Mr. Wang also needs key protection. I'll accompany you to go with me.
Chu Zheng didn't expect Fang Zhongcheng to stick to him, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: Brother Fang Shi, Liang Shangyun, the Minister of Justice, had just been stabbed, and the Imperial Guards were searching for murderers all over the city. Brother Fang Shi was leaving business but came to accompany me, a boring idle person, which seemed a bit inappropriate.
Fang Zhongcheng was stunned and said dryly: The news of the fifth young master is indeed well-versed, you will know so soon
Chu Zheng was speechless. It was almost two hours before Liang Shangyun was assassinated. I am afraid that the civilians in the capital also knew about it, not to mention that he was still the son of the Taiwei family.
Fang Zhongcheng sighed: When Liang Shangyun died, our Imperial Guards were so busy that they were caught. But most of them were robbers, and they had nothing to do with this case. Those murderers seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and they could not find any clues. Five young masters, you and I are all from the three major families. You and I know that no one has reason to kill Liang Shangshu in this capital. It is certain that this matter must be done by outsiders. Moreover, these murderers have been in the capital for a long time, so there must be a hidden place to hide. It is definitely not a place like inns and brothels where the guards and the Ministry of Justice always search these places, and they cannot find any clues.
Chu Zheng remembered that the man in blue was wearing the clothes of a servant just now, and nodded secretly. This Fang Zhongcheng speculated that it was very reasonable, and it seemed that he was not an incompetent person.
Chu Zheng smiled and said: What Brother Fang Shi said was very true. Speaking of brothels, I once heard that 80% of brothels in Beijing were the Fang family's property. I wonder if it is true or false?
Fang Zhongcheng disagreed. This matter was a secret matter for others, but it could never be concealed from the two families of the King of Chu. He laughed and said: Those are nothing, they are just providing leisurely entertainment for the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.
Chu Zheng said maliciously: But someone is not very happy to hear this.
Fang Zhongcheng suddenly sank and said: These are all industries outside the Fang family, but I have never been to such places.
Chu Zheng smiled sinisterly: Yes, why did the third brother say that he had fought with you somewhere? Could it be that I was wrong to hear it?
Fang Zhongcheng looked embarrassed. Their children of officials were young and frivolous, and they were full of energy. Is there still less romantic affairs? It's just that if Chu Xin knows about this, it will be troublesome.
He then clasped his fists and said: Fifth Young Master, please show mercy and say a few good words to your brother. If you can be useful in the future, you must do your best to be your brother.
Chu Zheng said: That's not necessary, but I ask Brother Fang Shi for help if there is something in front of me.
Fang Zhongcheng hurriedly said: The fifth young master, please tell me, as long as Fang can do it, I will never refuse.
Chu Zheng said: There is a Wanhualou in the capital, Brother Fang Shi must know that the third brother Chu Yuan has a confidante here. Before leaving the capital, he asked his younger brother to take care of her. Since it was the elder brother's fate, I was not easy to refuse. But recently I heard that your Fang family suppressed Wanhualou very tightly. This Wanhualou is where the woman stands. Please ask Brother Fang Shi to show mercy.
Fang Zhongcheng smiled and said: Since the fifth young master is talking to them, there are three young masters inside. There is a small matter. After my brother returns, I will order those servants not to make things difficult for Wanhualou.
Chu Zheng clasped his fists and said: Thank you Brother Fang Shi.
Fang Zhongcheng agreed, but he was a little suspicious.
The Fang family has been making things difficult for Wanhualou for a long time. If it was really the case with Chu Yuan, why didn’t he tell him personally before leaving Beijing and asked Chu Zheng to tell him?
After the Chu family reconciled, Chu Yuan and him did not fight or get to know each other. Although it only took a few days, the private relationship was already good.
Could it be that Chu Zheng’s own affairs are entrusted with Chu Yuan’s name?
However, thinking that the five young masters might be his fellow disciples, Fang Zhongcheng felt relieved and thought that this would be much easier. So he took a step and said softly: Although this Wanhua Building is one of the four brothels in the capital, most of the girls inside are gentle and delicate. Those who go here are old-fashioned people. The fifth young masters don’t know when they have time. You and I will gather at Piaoxiang Pavilion, where the women are bold and stingy. The eldest and third young masters usually go here to drink and have fun.
Chu Zheng was moved, but when he thought about Wu Anran, he hurriedly said: Brother Fang is such a bad word. Since ancient times, his beauty has been in trouble. Is it possible for me to go to the fireworks and willows? If you are greedy for beauty and waste your studies, wouldn’t it be contrary to the teachings of the sages and sages?
Fang Zhongcheng saw Chu Zheng speak righteously, but his expression was not so firm. His eyes kept glancing at the person next to him. He felt a move in his heart and bowed to Wu Anran and said: I don’t know what sir is calling him?
Chu Zheng replied on the side: This is my younger teacher, Mr. Wu.
Fang Zhongcheng thought to himself that this was no wonder. He said the words of admiration and gave Wu Anran the younger tribute.
Wu Anran did not dare to neglect and also returned a gift. Since this young master agreed not to make things difficult for Wanhualou, Wu Anran could have done some incense for Tianmeimen, so he was also polite to this young master.
Chu Zheng thought that the deacons in the Eagle Hall were still waiting in the meeting hall, so he stopped staying for a long time, so he said his resignation to Fang Zhongcheng.
Fang Zhongcheng still insisted on seeing him off, Chu Zheng was wise and said: Brother Fang Shi, I heard from my second sister yesterday that she made an appointment with the second lady of Cui, the Minister of Personnel, to visit her mansion today, but the city is so chaotic, Brother Shi, you should go there and take a look, so as not to disturb my second sister by ordinary people.
This is not a false statement. Chu Xin mentioned this matter, but Wang Xiuhe had already ordered her not to go out again this morning
Fang Zhongcheng was indeed trapped and had no intention of staying here again. He accused Wu Anran and Chu Zheng and left in a hurry
Fang Zhongcheng was much more careful than his boss Zhao Wuji. Although he was anxious to see Chu Xin, he still ordered his soldiers to get a carriage from a nearby carriage business and escort the two to the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
Seeing that Fang Zhongcheng had left, Chu Zheng put on airs and refused to let the soldiers escort them, and ordered them to fulfill their duties and quickly search for the criminals.
Seeing that Chu Zheng insisted on doing this, the leading soldier did not dare to disobey his orders, so he had to agree.
The coachman was an old man in his fifties. He was pulled over by a group of soldiers who were like wolves and tigers. He didn't know what was going on and looked panicked.
The leading soldier shouted to the old man: Send the young master and his wife to the Marquis of Jingbei. If you have any inconsideration, be careful, I will take your head off.
When the old man heard that he was just driving, he felt relieved and said,
The soldier bowed to Chu Zheng and Wu Anran and said: Fifth Young Master, Mr. Wu, please leave, the car is small, you have already paid
When Chu Zheng saw that the old man looked unfair, he didn't look like he had collected money from the car. He didn't say anything, and said goodbye to everyone, and got in the car with Wu Anran, and drove to the Marquis' Mansion of Jingbei.
Turning over an intersection, Chu Zheng poked his head and said: Old man, don’t go to the Marquis of Jingbei Mansion for now, you can take us to Maming Lane
The old man saw that the people from the Imperial Guard were also very respectful to the two of them and did not dare to disobey them. He quickly turned his horse's head and drove towards Maming Lane
The carriage suddenly fell silent, and Chu Zheng and Wu Anran looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.
Over the years, it was the first time that the master and apprentice had a grudge between them. Although Chu Zheng had admitted his mistake first, the two were still a little unnatural.
Those sergeants were probably anxious. Although the carriage he picked looked glamorous, he kept jogging when he sat down. Wu Anran listened to the squeaking sound of the wheels, his eyes were a little confused.
Suddenly, Chu Zheng asked: Is that person a member of my holy sect?
Wu Anran looked at Chu Zheng and saw Chu Zheng looking at him. His originally childish face was quite mature.
When Chu Zheng saw Wu Anran, he did not answer, and was not in a hurry, and continued to say on his own: Assassination of Liang Shangyun was no good for the capital, and the knowledgeable people in the court, such as Fang Zhongcheng, also saw that since it was not the people of our Great Zhao, it was easy to judge who ordered the Eastern Wu to be in a corner and remained in peace with the world; the Southern Qi side was defeated and could not take care of themselves; only the Western Qin was always eyeing our dynasty.
Now in terms of national strength, the Great Zhao has been peaceful for decades, while the Western Qin Dynasty was in a state of civil strife, and Zhao should be above Qin.
Regarding generals, our great Zhao has also emerged in many famous generals. Guo Huai and Guo Guo and others are definitely not under the Western Qin Xue Fangzhong.
However, over the years, the Zhao king and his ministers have been fighting for the inside and have been unable to do externally
After my father arrived in the court, the entire court gradually stabilized, and the three major families formed an alliance. The emperor is now unable to compete with the Western Qin and our Great Zhao for many years, and the two sides have become enemies. In this case, in another three or five years, if the Western Qin does not come to attack the Great Zhao, our Great Zhao will also use troops to the Western Qin. If the disciple is the King of Qin, he will not sit idly by and watch the Zhao State become stronger and stronger. He will try every means to make the Zhao State become chaotic, so that the Western Qin can take advantage of it.
Wu Anran couldn't help but smile: If I were the King of Qin, haha, you are such a bad boy, and you dare to compare with the king.
Chu Zheng was happy when he saw Wu Anran start calling him a bad boy, and obviously he had begun to return to normal.
He used to this master casually and smiled and said, "So what, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang called out kings, princes, generals and ministers back then, wouldn't he have any traitors? Besides, in the eyes of the people of Great Zhao, this King of Qin is just a traitor.
Wu Anran said in a deep voice: Who is Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? You also use their words to talk nonsense. Do you really want to rebel?
Chu Zheng knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly covered his mouth and coughed several times.
Wu Anran said: You just said something and analyzed the major events in the world very thoroughly. As a teacher, I can't tell that you have such ability.
Chu Zheng smiled dryly: Most of it is heard from his father, and partly it is just a disciple's guess, and it's no big deal.
Wu Anran refused to comment and suddenly said: How do you know that the person today is my Holy Gate's son?
Did the master forget that on that day, on the Wanhua Tower, the leader of the Mei Sect, Xu Jingqing, once said that the Holy Sect Hall had defected to the Western Qin Dynasty and became the minion of the King of Qin?
Chu Zheng shrugged and said, "Master is unpredictable today. He is kind and ruthless to that person, and he has no such demeanor as a demonic scholar you brag about to his disciple back then. If the disciple can't imagine it again, wouldn't it be too stupid."
Wu Anran was silent for a long time before slowly saying: You guessed that the arc-bending sword in the man's hand was the unique weapon of the Holy Sect Blood Sword Sect. He was very conflicted at the time. After all, the Blood Shadow Sect is a demon sect. Although the rules of the sect do not stipulate that the Holy Sect General Hall is respected, he has been with other sects for many years. When he was young, he went to the Western Regions and had a good relationship with Helian Xue, the leader of the Blood Sword Sect, and others, and was not like Xu Jingqing. He had already vowed to withdraw from the Holy Sect. How could you let the master attack Helian Xue's disciples?
Chu Zheng nodded and said: The disciple understands that the master is thinking of the old friend, but the Holy Sect assassinated my important minister of Great Zhao. Although the disciple is a descendant of the Blood Shadow Sect, he is also a subject of Great Zhao. Confucianism once said: Heaven and Earth, the king, the relatives and teachers, whether for the king or for the Chu family, the disciple will not let these people from the Holy Sect return to Western Qin again.
Wu Anran sighed: I know your difficulties too. I will expel you from the Blood Shadow Sect. You will be less concerned about them in the future. Anyway, the internal strength you practice is the Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Art. No one will see that you are a member of the Holy Sect. But since you are the master of the Eagle Hall and there are many masters in the hall, it will not be your turn to do it yourself.
The carriage was quite narrow. Chu Zheng bent down and barely bowed to Wu Anran and said: Well, the disciple will withdraw from the Blood Shadow Sect today.
Wu Anran said angrily: You are not as careless as you? At least you have the incense table placed in the mansion and tell the seniors of the masters.
Chu Zheng laughed and said: Disciple... Oh no, I have always been more important than my heart and less than my body. Although I have withdrawn from the Blood Shadow Sect, I still regard you as my master, and not many people know that you accept me as your disciple. Why bother so much? After these people are killed, I will return to the Blood Shadow Sect.
Wu Anran snorted and said: What do you think is the Blood Shadow Sect? If you want to enter, if you want to go, if you want to go,
Chu Zheng smiled and said: Didn’t you say that the disciple is a peerless genius? Can the rules of the Blood Shadow Sect be relaxed for those geniuses like the disciple?
Wu Anran was about to scold him, but the old man who was driving knocked on the car door and said: Two guests, Ma Ming Lane has arrived.
Chu Zheng quickly jumped out of the car and said to the old man: OK, let's get here, go back
The old man was a little afraid and said: Those military officials had told me that the two guests must be sent to the Marquis of Jingbei Mansion
After Chu Zheng had been a sucker at Wanhualou that day, he finally understood the importance of change. He took out a few stakes of money from his arms and handed it to the old man, saying: Those soldiers still have to obey my orders, don't worry, take the money back.
The old man was overjoyed. He thought that today was a bad star, but he didn't expect that he met a God of Wealth. He hurriedly took the money and thanked him repeatedly, and drove back.
