"I'm not."
Ren Ruyi stiffened his neck and retorted pitifully.
But she was actually relieved in her heart. She was worried that she couldn't leave Wudu. If this man named Zhou Chen could really take her away from Wudu, she would not care about Zhou Chen taking advantage of her before.
Zhou Chen said confidently: "I'm ready to leave. Whether she is a spy of Zhuyiwei or not has nothing to do with me. What's more, I have already checked when I was in there just now. She has no internal force in her body."
Ning Yuanzhou looked surprised. He felt that a Zhuyiwei spy who even Lou Qingqiang couldn't catch should not be without internal strength. But he didn't think his judgment was wrong, because from all the signs he could see that Ren Ruyi was not as delicate and innocent as she pretended to be.
After thinking about it, he finally said nothing. The current Zhou Chen was obviously different from the past. Even he couldn't see Zhou Chen's depth. Besides, he had given up on the emperor and ministers of this country and wanted to retire, so he didn't want to ask so many questions.
"then."
Zhou Chen threw a treasure bag to Ning Yuanzhou.
"what is this?"
"I personally trained the list of Senluo Palace's secret agents. Only Zhao Ji and I know it. There are also some new secret bases I established, using new communication methods. The details are all listed above. Now that Zhao Ji is dead and I am ready to leave, I will hand them over to you. It can be regarded as a way to repay your kindness in supporting me."
Ning Yuanzhou frowned and said, "I have already wanted to retire. You have ill intentions in giving this thing to me."
"Anyway, it's all given to you. It's up to you whether you want to read it or show it to others. But I can tell you that the list on it is not ordinary. It's not a good thing if it is obtained by someone with ulterior motives."
"The more you say that, the less I dare to watch it."
From Zhou Chen's tone, Ning Yuanzhou could sense that this list was unusual, but the more so, the more he didn't want to look at it, as it would destroy his desire to retire.
Zhou Chen said: "You said you wanted to retire, and I also want to leave Wudu and travel around the world. How about we leave the capital together? The capital has been heavily guarded recently, and with your help, it will be easier to leave."
"I'm just a 'dead man'. I still want to borrow your light, but you are borrowing mine." Ning Yuanzhou said unhappily.
But he was indeed preparing to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. Emperor Wu was captured by An Guo, and he could imagine that there would be no peace in Wudu for a long time to come.
Just as Zhou Chen was about to speak, Ren Ruyi next to him suddenly staggered and fell towards him.
He reached out to hold her, and Ren Ruyi fainted in his arms.
"Hey, why did she faint?" Yuanlu asked stupidly.
Ning Yuanzhou took a look and said, "She doesn't look like she's pretending. It looks like she's been seriously injured. Zhou Chen, you have to think it over carefully. This woman is definitely a spy of the Zhuyi Guards. If you want to save her, you'll probably end up getting into trouble."
"Maybe, compared to a life that you can predict, a life with ups and downs and some surprises might be more interesting, right?"
"Forget it. I think you just fell in love with this woman. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let me warn you, the white birds of the Red Guards are all trained to seduce men. They really are cannibals."
Anguo and Wuguo have been fighting for many years, and Anguo's Zhuyiwei and Wuguo's Liudaotang are generations of enemies. Ning Yuanzhou has been in Liudaotang for many years and is also the deputy hall master. He knows Zhuyiwei very well. Although Baique has a low status in Zhuyiwei, their lethality is no less than those of red-clothed and purple-clothed guards, and their numbers are also greater.
"Sex is like a sword hanging over your head."
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes. He admitted that it was difficult for him to be pure and indifferent when it came to women, but he was not going to fall into such a trap.
"I won't leave tonight. I'll stay at your place. Is that okay?"
"No problem at all."
Zhou Chen carried Ren Ruyi to the guest room, asked Yuanlu for some golden wound medicine for treating external injuries, and then began to treat Ren Ruyi.
Ren Ruyi had been stabbed and poisoned before. Although he took Wandujie, the external injuries were still there. He had spent so much effort hiding and escaping for so long that he fainted due to exhaustion. His life was not in danger.
Zhou Chen simply applied medicine to her, bandaged her wounds, and left the room to let her rest.
When he came to the yard outside, he saw Ning Yuanzhou holding the treasure bag he gave him, in a daze.
"You haven't decided to watch it yet. This is not like you. You haven't been so hesitant before."
Sitting down next to Ning Yuanzhou, Zhou Chen poured himself a glass of water and said with a smile.
Ning Yuanzhou said unhappily: "I think you are the one who has changed the most. I haven't seen you for more than half a year. You seem to have completely changed."
Zhou Chen had been in Hell for several years and was very familiar with him. Although he hadn't seen him for half a year, he still had a deep impression of him.
But when he saw Zhou Chen again today, he was really shocked. His appearance, figure, etc. had not changed, but his temperament had changed drastically, making him look completely different from before even though he was the same person.
Apart from this, what puzzled him the most was that Zhou Chen's martial arts skills had improved so amazingly. You know, it had only been more than half a year, how could Zhou Chen's martial arts skills improve so quickly?
If Zhou Chen was really that talented, he wouldn't have mediocre martial arts skills in his twenties. He had practiced martial arts for so many years, and his skills were still mediocre. How could he have made such rapid progress in just half a year?
He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't ask. Everyone has their own secrets. Zhou Chen's martial arts improved greatly. Maybe he got some great opportunity. Why bother to dig into the secret?
"People change, especially after experiencing a disaster. You are no exception. At first, you were ambitious to expand the Six Paths Hall, serve the emperor, and benefit the people of the world. Now, don't you still want to leave Wudu and find a place to live in seclusion?"
"Haha, that's true. If you put it that way, I've changed no less than you. It's a pity that you want to travel around the world. Otherwise, I would really like to invite you to live in seclusion with me. With you by my side, life in seclusion wouldn't be boring."
Zhou Chen stroked the teacup and said softly, "I'm afraid that your idea of seclusion cannot be realized. Now that our emperor has been captured, people in the court will definitely want to rescue him. And if they want to rescue him in the enemy country, who do you think the shrewd Prime Minister Zhang will let go?"
Ning Yuanzhou's mouth twitched. How could he not guess? This was also the reason why he sneaked back to Wudu and now wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"After hearing what you said, it seems that I must leave as soon as possible to avoid trouble. No, let Yuanlu pack up tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Chen smiled. He knew that Zhao Ji could find Ning Yuanzhou. How could Zhang Xiang, who was more shrewd than Zhao Ji, not be able to find him? Ning Yuanzhou was destined not to escape.
However, this just happened to be what he wanted. One of his main tasks was to rescue Emperor Wu from Andu. Ning Yuanzhou was able to mobilize the power of the Six Paths Hall and was an indispensable main force to rescue Emperor Wu. Otherwise, if he relied on himself alone, it would be extremely difficult to rescue Emperor Wu from the capital of Anguo.
The night passed quickly, and when Ren Ruyi regained consciousness, he felt very tired and his shoulders were in great pain.
It was the pain that suddenly made her come to her senses and remember what happened last night.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw the situation in the room. He also saw Zhou Chen sitting in meditation on the Arhat bed not far away.
Hearing the noise, Zhou Chen opened his eyes and looked at Ren Ruyi who was struggling to sit up from the bed.
"I'm glad you woke up. I've changed the bandage on your wound. It's nothing serious."
Ren Ruyi looked down at her shoulder, which had indeed been rebandaged. She asked softly, "Master, it was you who changed the medicine for me, so my body must have been seen by you..."
Zhou Chen said: "You can say that, we have to make decisions in an emergency. We can't just watch your wound fester and bleed to death. Even if I want to restore my internal strength, you should know better than me how long it will take."
Ren Ruyi whispered, "I don't know what the inner strength you are talking about is. I know you are kind-hearted and want to save me. Besides, I am just a lowly person, so you don't have to take it to heart. I don't mind."
"Alright, don't use the same words you said last night in front of me. Others may not know, but I know how you killed someone and escaped from Sun Shiyi's mansion."
Zhou Chen’s words made Ren Ruyi’s heart tighten. She didn’t expect that Zhou Chen even knew this, but she didn’t dare to admit it at this time.
"I don't know what you are talking about, my sister was killed in Shiyi Mansion, I..."
"Stop, don't say any more. Just assume that I believe you. You don't have to worry. I won't do anything to you. Whether it's the Liudao Hall of Wu Country or the Zhuyi Guard of An Country, there's no difference in my eyes."
Zhou Chen has no sense of belonging to Wu Kingdom. Be it Liudaotang or Zhuyiwei, as long as they don't provoke him, he doesn't bother to care. His primary goal is to complete the mission first.
"I plan to leave Wudu in the next two days. If you want to leave, I can take you with me."
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Ren Ruyi not only did not show any joy, but instead there was a look of vigilance in his eyes.
Zhou Chen's understanding of her was beyond her expectations, so she remained alert when facing Zhou Chen. He said he would take her away, but who knew if there was any other conspiracy.
As if seeing through Ren Ruyi's thoughts, Zhou Chen snorted and said, "Don't guess. I don't have any conspiracy against you. If you must want a reason, it's that I am a person who cherishes women and you are beautiful. I really can't bear to see you die in Wudu like this, so I want to take you away. Is that enough?"
Upon hearing this, Ren Ruyi's vigilance actually relaxed a little. Even though she had only met Zhou Chen a few times, she could feel that this man was not a lustful person.
She had lived in the White Sparrow Camp for a while hiding her identity, so she could still feel whether her body had changed. If Zhou Chen was really a lustful man, he could have done whatever he wanted after she fell into a coma last night, but he obviously did not do that.
"Sir, can I really leave with you?"
Zhou Chen said: "Okay, if you want to pretend, just keep pretending."
As he spoke, he slowly stood up, walked to Ren Ruyi, and placed a medicine bottle in front of her.
"This is a secret wound medicine I made myself. It's quite effective. If you're not afraid of death, try it next time you change the medicine."
Ren Ruyi took the medicine and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir. Your kindness is so great that I have no way to repay you."
Zhou Chen waved his hand: "If nothing unexpected happens, we should leave tomorrow. Don't leave here today. As long as you don't leave here, you will be safe."
Ning's house is Ning Yuanzhou's residence. Even if Liudaotang came here last night, it would be impossible for them to come here again. For Ren Ruyi, this is a rare safe place.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1394: Leaving the City, Ambush Outside the City
Yuanlu carried two food boxes, placed them on the table, pointed at the one on the left, and asked Zhou Chen.
"Brother Zhou, this is what you asked me to buy for that sister. Do you want me to deliver it to her?"
"Okay, thank you for your help, Yuanlu."
"It doesn't matter. I'll go see that sister."
Yuanlu carried the food box and went to the guest room where Ren Ruyi was resting. He was a kind-hearted man. When he saw how miserable Ren Ruyi was last night, he felt sorry for her and wanted to take care of her.
Ning Yuanzhou picked up a piece of cake, tore off a small piece and put it in his mouth.
"You seem to be quite concerned about Bai Que from the Red Guards. You are not really attracted to her, are you? You know very well what kind of person Bai Que is. There are so many women in the world, why would you be attracted to Bai Que? She is beautiful, but there are women prettier than her."
Zhou Chen didn't know whether it was because he had seen One Thought of the Pass or because of the mission. Since Ning Yuanzhou had misunderstood him, he would accept it.
"There are three thousand rivers, but I only take one. Do I need a reason to like someone?"
"Don't you need it?"
"do you need?"
"Tsk, how do I know if I need it? I don't like women. Uh, no, I mean, I haven't met a woman I like."
Although Ning Yuanzhou is already thirty years old, he has been serving in Liudaotang. There are many female Tiqi who admire him, but he has never developed any romantic relationship with them. He has never experienced what it feels like to feel love.
"I'm just worried about you. Don't let her get you into trouble."
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "I might fall into her hands, but that may not be a bad thing."
Ning Yuanzhou spat, "I think you are really crazy."
Compared with their previous relationship as superiors and subordinates, he felt more relaxed talking to Zhou Chen like this now. He really didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen comforted her, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. I know her much better than you do. Don't look at her like this now. You may need her help in the future."
Ning Yuanzhou said with disdain: "She is a white bird, and I need her help? What are you thinking? This is impossible."
"Don't be so confident, it will be ugly when you get slapped in the face." Zhou Chen showed a weird smile.
Ning Yuanzhou was a little puzzled: "I always feel like there's something else behind your words. I haven't seen you for more than half a year, and you've become more witty in your words."
After a while, Yuanlu came back and had dinner with Zhou Chen and the others.
"You said you wanted to live in seclusion, have you decided where to go?"
"I haven't decided yet, but no matter where we go, leaving Wu is the most important thing. What about you? Have you decided where to go next after traveling around the world?"
Zhou Chen and Ning Yuanzhou discussed the issues of seclusion and traveling.
"I don't care. We are just traveling anyway. It doesn't matter where we go. But if Wu State wants me, I will definitely find a way to leave Wu State first. Maybe I will go to Chu State or Su State. Anyway, I won't starve to death anywhere."
The world is so big, Zhou Chen really doesn't care where to go. Anyway, he has martial arts skills and various skills, so he doesn't have to worry about food, drink and making money.
Traveling around the world in the ancient world and sightseeing in the modern world are both very pleasant things.
I was a policeman in the last world and had not been to many places. But in this world, I can walk around more and see more.
Of course, before that, the mission is still his top priority.
Ning Yuanzhou said leisurely: "I want to find a paradise with mountains and water, and live a peaceful and comfortable life with Yuanlu."
"Aren't you going to find a woman?"
"Why look for a woman? Women are always trouble."
When he heard the word "woman", Ning Yuanzhou rolled his eyes. He didn't want to find any woman. It was very troublesome and it was not as free and easy as being alone.
Zhou Chen shook his head. In the ancient world, there might be more unmarried men than in the modern world. Some men could not afford to get married, while others were very philanthropic. In the ancient world, brothels were all legal. As long as you were rich or talented, you could have many women even if you did not get married.
In the afternoon, Yuanlu went out to buy some things, and when he came back, he brought a piece of news.
"Boss, Brother Zhou, when I was buying herbs on the street just now, I overheard Lou Qingqiang talking to a masked man. He said that all the people from the Zhuyi Guard Wudu branch were arrested by Zhao Ji and his men the day before yesterday."
Ning Yuanzhou was very surprised when he heard this: "All taken?"
"Ah."
"The Zhuyi Guard Wudu branch has been doing well in the past few years, and it was never exposed when I was in office. How could it be wiped out by Zhao Ji? Unless they were fighting among themselves, or someone was colluding with them."
Yuan Lu praised: "As expected of my boss Ning, you guessed it right. The person who cooperated with Zhao Ji and others is from the Red Guards. I heard Lou Qingqiang call the masked man Mr. Yue. I guess he is at least a Purple Guard."
Ning Yuanzhou nodded, then asked Zhou Chen: "You are in charge of rebuilding the Senluo Palace, and you have news about the Animal Realm, so you should know the details of this matter, right?"
Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "I really don't know. Didn't I tell you that Zhao Ji just wanted to use me to rebuild Senluo Palace? In fact, he didn't let me get involved in his affairs. But although I didn't participate, I can guess roughly that Mr. Yue cooperated with Zhao Ji and betrayed his colleagues, probably for money."
"For money? So simple?" Ning Yuanzhou was surprised.
