Early the next morning.

Zhen Ping, who had just finished his meal, came to the martial arts field at the gate of the villa again, just like yesterday.

At this moment, a large number of people have gathered outside the courtyard, waiting in line to sign their life and death agreement!

Although several people died yesterday, it did not scare the people of Qi.

At least it didn't scare everyone.

As a big country, Qi State has no shortage of passionate warriors.

Especially at this critical moment that concerns the country's reputation, if the entire Qi State retreats, they will really be too ashamed to face anyone in the future!

So even though they know they are in danger of death, there are still many people who come here to "voluntarily die."

Whether you can win the fight is one thing, but whether you dare to fight is another.

They lost the battle but not the battle. At least they had to let the world know that the people of Qi might not be good at martial arts, but they were definitely not lacking in courage.

The people of Qi are not women!

Zhen Ping also respected such people from Qi.

Following Li Chengyuan's instructions, Zhen Ping showed mercy to all those who were not too arrogant or domineering.

Soon, the first challenger of the day arrived.

Deng Ziyue at the door called out the names loudly.

"The 37th challenger, Tan Hu!"

Hearing this name, Zhen Ping's eyes narrowed.

Gong Yu had specifically told him before that Uesugi Tiger's subordinate Tan Wu would come to challenge him under the pseudonym Tan Hu.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be this person.

Sure enough, Tan Wu came here to make a connection.

So he and Zhen Ping had no intention of fighting.

The two of them exchanged a few symbolic moves, and Zhen Ping secretly handed him a note.

Tan Wu understood immediately, then fought a few more moves with Zhen Ping, pretended to be defeated, admitted defeat and left.

......

The General's Mansion.

Uesugi Toraku sat in the main hall with a gloomy face.

He has been restless since returning to Shangjing.

He didn't know whether his adoptive father was alive or dead, and his future was uncertain; the imperial court was no longer reliable, and cooperating with Li Chengyuan would be courting disaster!

Uesugi Tora was really anxious at this moment.

The main reason is that he is not good at calculating, and now he is forced to do something and deal with various forces, which is really difficult for him.

But there is no way out. They have no way out now and they have to hold on no matter how difficult it is.

Finally, at a certain moment, Tan Hu hurried back from outside.

"General!"

"How about it?"

Tan Hu handed the note in his sleeve to Uesugi Hu.

“They gave it to me!”

When Uesugi Tora unfolded it and took a look, his expression suddenly became serious.

"What's wrong, General?" asked Tan Hu.

"Li Chengyuan asked me to assassinate Meng Zhi tonight!" Uesugi Tiger said solemnly.

"Meng Zhi? The Imperial Guards lieutenant general?" Tan Hu asked, puzzled. "Why did Li Chengyuan kill him?"

"I don't know!" Shangshanhu analyzed seriously: "Maybe Meng Zhi did something to offend him?"

"What should we do then?" Tan Hu said.

Uesugi Tora frowned, pondered for a moment, and said in a cold voice: "There is no other way. My adoptive father is in his hands, and I can only listen to him! He is just a Meng Zhi anyway.

If he wants to kill Meng Zhi, I will help him kill him!"

"What if Li Chengyuan turns against us?" Tan Wu asked worriedly.

Uesugi Tora's expression turned cold, and he said in a twisted voice, "Then I'll fight him to the death. If I don't survive, then none of them will be able to survive!"

Upon hearing this, Tan Wu knelt on one knee without hesitation and said, "We swear to follow the general until death!"

Uesugi Tora's expression eased slightly, and he looked at Tan Wu, and suddenly felt confident.

He is not penniless, he is still a general!

As long as he is given the opportunity, he will be able to make a comeback soon.

When the time comes, he will take revenge on everyone who has bullied him!

......

Jinyiwei Zhenfusi Yamen.

Shen Zhong came to sit in the hall early in the morning.

What he was most concerned about now was the affairs of the delegation, but he found out that there was no movement from the delegation and no one had gone out.

Shen Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also a little suspicious.

Based on his initial understanding of Li Chengyuan, Li Chengyuan should not be such an honest person!

He knew clearly that Yan Bingyun's life was in danger at any moment, yet he remained silent. This was clearly not his character.

But it happened that no one from the delegation went out.

Shen Zhong still has great trust in his subordinates.

After all, he had already tripled the number of manpower and surrounded the royal villa with three layers of defense inside and outside. It could be said that not even a fly could escape from their sight.

If this is the case, and the delegation can still leave quietly, then Shen Zhong might as well just admit defeat!

However, if no one from the delegation goes out, how can Li Chengyuan rescue Yan Bingyun?

Or does he not want to save her?

Suddenly, Shen Zhong suddenly asked, "Have you found the cavalryman who left the mission yesterday?"

"Your Excellency, we've found him. Yesterday evening, someone who looked 80% like him returned to the mission. It must be him!"

"Should???" Shen Zhong's voice rose three points higher.

The subordinate immediately replied, "Sir, that man suddenly appeared near the other courtyard. He was wearing the same clothes as yesterday and had a similar build, but he had his face covered, so the brothers couldn't see him clearly. But judging by the way he walked, he was definitely a cavalryman! (Noma Zhao)"

Shen Zhong frowned. Instinctively, he felt that something was fishy going on here, but he didn't know what the problem was!

At this moment, another subordinate came hurriedly to report: "Your Excellency, the maidservant beside the young lady had an affair with someone today.

Looks like he received some kind of mission!"

Shen Zhong smiled when he heard this. Finally, there was good news!

In fact, what Qin Banruo didn't know was that Shen Zhong had never believed in that maid from the beginning to the end.

As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Shen Zhong is extremely suspicious.

My sister was suddenly attacked and the maid around her was killed tragically. At this time, a woman suddenly appeared and saved my sister. Then she successfully gained my sister's trust and became her sister's new maid.

If Shen Zhong can't find the problem with this hidden danger full of loopholes, then he is not worthy of being the commander of the Jinyiwei.

The reason why he didn't reveal this person's identity was that he wanted to use him to trace the organization behind her.

Shen Zhong had long discovered that there seemed to be a new intelligence organization in Kyoto City.

It's just that this organization is very mysterious and their identities are concealed very well. He hasn't found any clues so far. This maid is the only breakthrough he has found, so he is naturally not in a hurry to expose her.

But Shen Zhong didn't expect that after so much time had passed, the maid still hadn't contacted the higher-ups.

This made Shen Zhong wonder if he was suffering from paranoia.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and she couldn't help it.

"Sir, should we arrest her now?"

"What's the rush?" Shen Zhong said angrily, "The prey has just appeared. If you catch her now, won't you alert the enemy?

Don't startle her, just keep watching and see what she's going to do.

We must uncover the organization behind her.

For this reason, a little intelligence at any time is no big deal!"

Shen Zhong was very confident about this because his stupid sister didn't know any important information.
