I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 572 Revenge and Rescue

Tears couldn't stop streaming down, she bit her lower lip tightly, even though the bite was bleeding, she still didn't stop.

The leaf in her hand was crushed by her. How she wished that the leaf in her hand could turn into an indestructible steel knife at this time, one by one, she would kill all the enemies who forced her father to death.

But she also knew that there were so many opponents that she might not be able to defeat them one-on-one. If she rushed over rashly, there was no other possibility but a dead end.

Moreover, she has more important things to do at this time, and she must not disregard Lord Zhou's safety just because of a momentary impulse.

Gritting her teeth tightly, not letting herself make a sound, after hastily fetching some water, she resisted the desire for revenge and returned to Zhou Chen's side.

With trembling hands almost the whole time, he fed the little water left to Zhou Chen.

What she didn't expect was that Zhou Chen woke up after being stimulated by the cold water.

The first time he opened his eyes, he suddenly saw a girl with dark skin and plain clothes, but still full of youth, staring at him anxiously.

He started to panic, and when he found himself deep in an unfamiliar dense forest, he couldn't help but said guardedly,

"Who are you, why are you here...!"

Yang Huilan hurried forward and covered his mouth, and whispered to him,

"Now is not the time to talk about this. The person who chased you has already arrived nearby. If we don't leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave."

Zhou Chen patrolled around, but did not find Yue Feng and others. With his clever brain, he seemed to have guessed what happened during his coma.

His face involuntarily sank, and with Yang Huilan's support, he stood up with difficulty.

Out of the politeness of a literati, he thanked her in a low voice.

Yang Huilan didn't care, and while watching the movement of the group of people by the creek, urged him to leave quickly.

Who knows, Zhou Chen didn't know whether his body was a little numb after being in a coma for too long, or he had lost too much blood. He didn't recover for a while, and just took a step, his calf softened, and he fell down.

He came here really suddenly, even though Yang Huilan knew how to punch and kick, she still didn't have time to help him.

There was a loud plop, which really aroused the idea of ​​the enemy not far away.

"There is movement over there, go and have a look!"

Yang Huilan was so anxious that she didn't have time to complain, she helped Zhou Chen up vigorously, half resisted and half dragged, and led him to flee deeper into the jungle.

It's a pity that they were still a step too late, and they were discovered.

"My lord, I found them, they are not far ahead."

"Great, brothers, it's time to make great contributions. Whoever can cut off the head of Zhou will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

The power of money is indeed infinite. Although these guys have been running around for a long time and are exhausted, they rushed out excitedly one by one.

"Come on, kill!"

The sound of killing was getting closer and closer. Fortunately, after Zhou Chen slowed down for a while, his legs and feet recovered a lot. Although the speed was still not fast, it was much faster than before when Yang Huilan carried him alone.

"Master Zhou, walk this way, as long as we climb over the mountain ahead, we will be saved."

At this time, Zhou Chen didn't care about the image of a civil servant anymore, and rushed forward with his head covered and followed Yang Huilan desperately.

The clothes on his body were scratched by branches, and his face was injured by dead branches, but he didn't care.

Although he knew that his life might be lost today, he didn't have much fear in his heart, but was more unwilling.

Since ancient times, the court officials who have been assassinated by people can be counted in one slap, no matter which time it is, it can be regarded as an earth-shattering event.

This time, I was being targeted before I took office. It can only show that my arrival must have affected the interests of many people. This interest is big enough to make them willing to take the risk of being implicated by the nine clans. But also to their own death.

Zhou Chen can also be regarded as a tough guy, the more he is like this, the more determined he is to catch all these criminals.

"As long as I escape from Shengtian this time, the mastermind behind the scenes will definitely be found out, and the world will be restored."

While thinking wildly in her mind, Yang Huilan suddenly exclaimed,
"Lord be careful."

While speaking, he pulled him hard. With this pull, he narrowly avoided a deadly arrow feather.

Zhou Chen, who had just walked through the gate of hell again, was sweating profusely, and was almost stunned.

Being so delayed by him, the laughter of the assassins resounded from all directions.

"Haha, surnamed Zhou, I see you are still running there."

"Hehe, I didn't expect there to be a little lady here. Although she is a little dark, she is in good shape, and my appetite..."

"Brothers, I'm sorry, the 1000 taels of silver belong to me."

"Don't try to take it all by yourself, everyone goes together, and whoever grabs it counts."

The two were surrounded by people, and they were about to lose their lives. Zhou Chen was so frightened that he closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

However, just as he closed his eyes, he heard a whoosh sound of breaking through the air.

Then another scream was heard.

Then there was another sound of piercing through the air and screams.

Three arrows hit in succession, and the three enemies fell in response.

The assassins finally understood that this was a sneak attack.

"To the west, I saw him!"

Yang Huilan, who was so frightened, looked to the west, thinking that the imperial court had arrived, but what she didn't expect to see was her 15-year-old younger brother.

She couldn't help shouting loudly,
"Huzi, hurry up, you can't be their opponent by yourself!"

"Sister, I won't leave. These bastards killed our father and burned down our house. I want them to pay for their lives!"

Saying that, the bowstring vibrated again.

Swish, swish, two more arrows shot out.

However, this time the assassins were on guard, and his two arrows all missed.

"Damn it, our three brothers were killed by a stinky brat who didn't even grow a hair. Fuck me and cut him alive!"

Hearing this, Yang Huilan panicked even more, she pulled out her small knife with a bang, and rushed to help her younger brother.

Zhou Chen held her tightly behind her back, and whispered to her,

"Girl, calm down, if you rush up like this, you won't be able to catch him!"

"But I can't watch them kill my brother!"

Zhou Chen actually didn't know what to do. He looked around anxiously, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a figure shaking not far away.

The leader was Yue Feng, the leader of the guards. He pointed in that direction and shouted,

"Girl, look quickly, people from the imperial court are here."

Hearing the shouts of killing from here, Yue Feng and the others, who were chasing Huzi all the way, immediately drew out their sabers and rushed forward with a loud shout.
