The world of film and television begins from childhood

"This is just my guess. As for the details, now that Zhao Ji is dead, Lou Qingqiang should be the only one who knows the answer best. If you want to know, just arrest him and interrogate him."

"Forget it, I'm going to live in seclusion now, I don't want to know these things."

Ning Yuanzhou paused for a moment, then continued, "I just want to tell you that the white sparrow must have slipped through the net. You have to be careful."

"Is this the nth time you have reminded me? Don't worry, I know what's going on. She may not be a good person, but she is definitely not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity."

Ren Ruyi may not be so familiar with the ways of the world, and she is ruthless towards her enemies, but Zhou Chen, who has watched the whole story, knows that she is not that kind of evil person. She has her own sense of right and wrong and judgment, and will not harbor ill will towards the person who saved her.

"I really don't know why you trust her so much. You are simply crazy."

Ning Yuanzhou couldn't understand Zhou Chen's thoughts. He just felt that Zhou Chen was bewitched by Ren Ruyi and had lost his mind.

"Genroku and I have decided to leave tomorrow. What about you? Do you have anything to pack?"

"No, we can leave anytime."

He had secretly gone back last night, packed all the necessary things, and was ready to set off. Although he knew he couldn't leave this time, he still had to pretend.

Zhou Chen walked outside and saw Ren Ruyi sitting outside. Ren Ruyi at this moment was completely different from her previous delicate appearance, and there was a heroic spirit between her brows.

"You've heard everything you should have heard. This should be the answer you wanted to know."

Ren Ruyi looked at Zhou Chen deeply. In fact, she already knew what they had just said. When she was at the branch, she heard the conversation between Zhao Ji and Mr. Yue. She just wanted to find out Mr. Yue's true identity.

"Thank you. I will leave as soon as I get out of the city gate tomorrow."

Zhou Chen said: "I saved your life, and a simple thank you is your repayment?"

Ren Ruyi frowned and asked, "So what do you want? Money, or something else?"

"Has anyone ever told you that you really don't know anything and don't understand the ways of the world at all?"

Zhou Chen's words made Ren Ruyi's expression change suddenly. She couldn't help but think of her benefactor, Empress Zhaojie of Anguo. Empress Zhaojie also told her that she didn't know anything except being an assassin.

Zhou Chen said something similar, which made her feel very strange.

"What do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything. In fact, you are a smart person. You didn't understand it before, but the environment didn't let you learn it. You can't say for sure in the future."

Zhou Chen knew Ren Ruyi's experiences since childhood. In a place like Zhuyiwei, apart from struggling to survive every day, he had to learn how to kill and spy. How could he possibly lead a normal life?

Ren Ruyi wanted to ask, but Zhou Chen had already walked away, so she could only suppress her doubts.

She has lived for so many years and met many people, but her meeting with Zhou Chen was really different.

They met in a coffin and lay in the same coffin. Zhou Chen had clearly guessed her identity, but instead of targeting her, he treated her very well. She felt that there must be some conspiracy, but she could not figure out what Zhou Chen's "conspiracy" was.

After a night, Zhou Chen and his companions were ready to set off early in the morning. Ning Yuanzhou had been the deputy leader of the Liudao Hall for many years, so it was impossible for him not to be able to get out of even a city gate.

He had already made arrangements, and when they arrived at the city gate for inspection, their group of four were allowed to pass directly.

Going out of Pingyun Gate, they came to the forest outside the city.

Yuanlu asked Ren Ruyi with concern: "Sister Ruyi, do you really want to leave us here? Your injury is not fully healed yet, how about I give you my horse to ride, it will be faster on horseback."

Ren Ruyi had a good impression of Yuanlu, and replied with a smile: "Thank you, but I can't ride a horse. Ruyi thanks Brother Yuan for taking care of me these two days."

Yuanlu scratched his head embarrassedly: "No, no, I didn't do anything, you don't have to thank me, in fact, Brother Zhou cares about you more."

Ren Ruyi couldn't help but look at Zhou Chen, who was talking to Ning Yuanzhou at this time.

"Zhou Chen, you really don't want to go with us?"

"You go to live in seclusion, and I go to travel. If we don't have the same goal, we will go our separate ways."

"Well, after this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again, so take care of yourself."

Ning Yuanzhou looked emotional. They had just been together for a short while and now they had to separate again. He felt a little reluctant.

"You too, take care of yourself. Zhang Song will definitely look for you now that he knows you are not dead."

"Then I'll make sure he can't find it, haha."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Chen, Ning Yuanzhou and Yuan Lu rode away on horseback, leaving Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi behind.

Ren Ruyi walked up to Zhou Chen and bowed slightly: "I owe you a life. If there is anything you want me to do, you can tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely help you."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I don't have anything I want you to do for now, just remember it. Maybe there will be something in the future, and I will definitely come to you then."

Ren Ruyi didn't take it to heart. After this separation, she felt that she and Zhou Chen would never have the chance to meet again.

"You want to find Mr. Yue who betrayed the Wudu branch, right? If you need help, I might be able to help you."

Ren Ruyi denied: "I don't know what you are talking about. I just want to go back to my hometown in Shengzhou."

She was indeed going to find Mr. Yue. She was determined to avenge Linglong, but she didn't want to admit it in front of Zhou Chen. She had always been a loner and didn't need anyone's help.

Zhou Chen said with a half-smile: "That's perfect. I'm planning to travel to Shengzhou. How about we go together?"

Ren Ruyi's smile froze, and looking at Zhou Chen's teasing expression, she knew that Zhou Chen did it on purpose, and immediately gritted her teeth.

"Why are you still standing there? Come here. We don't know how long it will take to reach Shengzhou. We can ride on the same horse, which will make it much faster."

Ren Ruyi gritted her teeth at Zhou Chen's words. This Zhou Chen clearly knew who she was and what she was going to do, yet he still said this. It was so infuriating.

"I……"

Ren Ruyi was about to speak when suddenly, a loud bang was heard not far away, which made her face change suddenly.

"It sounds like the explosion of thunder and fire bombs."

She looked at Zhou Chen: "Brother Yuan and the others are in trouble, don't you want to go and take a look?"

Zhou Chen sighed softly: "After all, I haven't been in charge of Liudaotang for more than half a year. I can't suppress people just by relying on my past power."

Ning Yuanzhou used his connections to successfully leave the city, but at the same time, Liudaotang was able to accurately lock onto his location.

"I'm going to help, what about you?"

Ren Ruyi hesitated for a moment, then thought of the help Yuan Lu had given her in the past two days, and nodded, "Let me go with you to take a look."

Ning Yuanzhou and Yuanlu were being besieged by Lou Qingqiang and the people from Liudaotang at this time. Ning Yuanzhou was a martial arts master and could still handle it, but Yuanlu, due to his heart disease, was average in close combat and internal strength. He was besieged by so many people and was in great trouble. He was in danger and had to use thunder and fire bombs.

But even if he used thunder and fire bombs, there were too many enemies and two fists could not beat four hands. Lou Qingqiang abandoned the more powerful Ning Yuanzhou and prepared to capture Yuanlu first to threaten Ning Yuanzhou.

Yuanlu could only block a few moves before he was kicked away and hit a tree. He was in great pain all over and was no longer able to dodge the attacking enemy.

At this critical moment, a sword light suddenly came and instantly forced back Lou Qingqiang and several others who were rushing towards Yuanlu, and the swords of three of them were even cut off.

Lou Qingqiang stepped back and stood firm. When he saw Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi standing in front of Yuan Lu, he suddenly became furious.

"Zhou Chen, it's you. I knew you had bad intentions."

Zhao Ji was killed suddenly. He didn't think it was related to Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen hadn't been to Liudaotang for two days and now suddenly appeared here. At this moment, he seemed to have figured out a lot of things.

Zhou Chen sneered: "You speak as if you have good intentions towards me. We are just using each other."

"court death!"

In the past, Lou Qingqiang didn’t take Zhou Chen seriously at all. But now that he saw how deeply Zhou Chen was hiding, his murderous intent increased sharply.

"Give it to me and kill him."

In an instant, all the Taoists from the Six Paths Hall around raised their weapons and rushed towards Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was not afraid at all, and said to Ren Ruyi without turning his head: "You protect Yuanlu, and I will take care of them."

After saying that, he did not hold back and instantly mobilized his internal strength to use the Xiangyi Taijian, chopping away all the people attacking from both sides, and then used sword energy to sweep away the enemy in front of him.

"A dragon treading on snow!"

He killed seven or eight people with one move, causing Ren Ruyi to look sideways frequently. This move, "Dragon Stepping on Snow", was not only incredibly powerful, but also agile, graceful and pleasing to the eye.

Compared with Zhou Chen's pleasing Xiangyi Taijian, her moves were much simpler. Holding a bamboo leaf in her hand, she used her most uncomfortable killing technique. Although she had no internal strength, she protected Yuanlu, and anyone who approached them was killed by her.

Chapter 1395 Assassin Ren Xin, the protagonists gather together

Zhou Chen, Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi were all extremely brave and could fight against many enemies at once.

Although Ning Yuanzhou was besieged and hunted, he did not take any ruthless action out of consideration for their old friendship and just faced the enemy with his bare hands.

But Zhou Chen didn't care about that. Anyone who drew a sword against him with murderous intent would be killed without hesitation. Even if the person didn't die, he would at least be disabled.

Not to mention Ren Ruyi, she was originally the top assassin of Zhuyiwei. Even without her internal strength, her killing skills were still amazing. In just a short while, five or six people died at her hands, and this was when she didn't have any special weapons.

But this time, Lou Qingqiang brought a large number of elite troops from Liudao Hall, and a steady stream of people continued to surround and kill the four people.

Ning Yuanzhou slapped the two people who were blocking him away with one palm, and shouted at Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi: "Take Yuanlu away first, I will follow later."

Zhou Chen nodded at Ren Ruyi, and Ren Ruyi was also very decisive. Under Zhou Chen's cover, he pulled Yuanlu and quickly retreated.

Zhou Chen faced the besiegers calmly. His internal strength had not yet reached a small level of success, but it depended on who he was compared with. In this low-level martial arts world of Yi Nian Guan Shan, his current internal strength was definitely outstanding.

What's more, facing these minions did not consume much of his internal energy at all, because just relying on his physical fitness that was several times superior to that of ordinary people, combined with the Xiangyi Tai Sword and Posa Step, was enough to deal with them. His internal energy had been well preserved, so he was not afraid even if it was a protracted battle.

Lou Qingqiang stood behind the crowd, watching Zhou Chen and Ning Yuanzhou killing everyone with a frown on his face.

Ning Yuanzhou would be fine, everyone in Liudaotang knows how skilled Ning Yuanzhou is in martial arts, and no one in Liudaotang can be his match.

But how come Zhou Chen suddenly became so powerful? His swordsmanship was exquisite and his body movements were swift and agile. In fact, there were more people besieging Zhou Chen than Ning Yuanzhou, but Zhou Chen seemed to be more at ease than Ning Yuanzhou.

There are a lot of people on their side, but it is impossible for them to rush forward all at once. In the melee, there is a high possibility that their own people will be injured.

Lou Qingqiang immediately and decisively gave an order.

"Crossbowmen, shoot."

But the people around him looked confused: "But that's Lord Ning."

Lou Qingqiang turned his head and shouted in a cold voice: "Do you believe that I will break all the bones in your body?"

Ren Ruyi, who was fleeing, paused when he heard these words, turned around and looked at Lou Qingqiang, with astonishing murderous intent in his eyes.

But she only paused for two breaths, and then continued to pull Yuanlu to run, without getting excited at all.

More than a dozen Taoists from the Six Paths Hall took out their bows and crossbows and shot at Zhou Chen and Ning Yuanzhou.

The lethality of archers is stronger than that of close-combat siege. Zhou Chen used the Posuo Step to dodge with ease, and also swung his sword to stab the besiegers.

The crossbow arrow did not hurt him, but instead injured several people who were besieging him.

Ning Yuanzhou dodged and saw this scene, and shouted loudly: "Zhou Chen, stop fighting, and leave quickly."

The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly chased in the direction of Ren Ruyi and Yuanlu's retreat, but they were forced to stop before they ran far.

In front of them, they saw dozens of imperial guards wearing armor and holding bows and arrows, blocking all their routes of retreat, while Lou Qingqiang and others in the back also surrounded them from behind.

Faced with the pincer attack, Ning Yuanzhou looked solemn, but Zhou Chen calmly made a sword flower.

"Even the Imperial Guards have been dispatched. It seems they are here for you."

Ning Yuanzhou curled his lips: "Stop making sarcastic remarks. I am sorry for causing trouble for you this time."

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Don't be so polite. They surrounded you but didn't attack. Obviously they didn't want to kill you. Since you can't run away, then talk to them."

As he spoke, Zhang Song slowly walked out from behind the imperial guards with his hands behind his back and a teasing smile on his face.

"Master Ning, how are you?"

Ning Yuanzhou was not surprised to see Zhang Song. He just bowed and said, "Prime Minister, long time no see."

Zhang Song said, "I asked Zhao Ji to invite you, but this loser couldn't even do this job and lost his life. I have no choice but to come to you in person."

Ning Yuanzhou said: "It is my honor to have the Prime Minister come in person."

Zhang Song suddenly looked at Zhou Chen: "I was wrong before. You are the one who killed Zhao Ji, right?"

Zhou Chen had a blank expression on his face and did not speak. He just sheathed his sword. Before, when he was in Liudaotang, he would still pretend to be submissive, but now, he didn't even want to put on an act.

Zhang Song was a very shrewd man. He was naturally very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen's attitude, but he did not show it on his face.

Ning Yuanzhou didn't want Zhou Chen to have a conflict with Zhang Song, so he took the initiative to resolve the situation.

"I wonder why the Prime Minister came to see me personally?"

Zhang Song understood what Ning Yuanzhou meant. Thinking that he still had to rely on Ning Yuanzhou to rescue people, he did not settle accounts with Zhou Chen about Zhao Ji. Compared to a dead Zhao Ji, the captured Emperor Wu and his own power were the top priorities at the moment.

"Have a cup of tea, please!"

Ning Yuanzhou couldn't refuse, so he turned around and winked at Zhou Chen and the other two, telling them to be careful and not to mess around, then he took a step forward and prepared to go over.

Seeing this, Lou Qingqiang walked out of the crowd and prepared to protect Zhang Song, but just as he passed by Ren Ruyi, a cold light flashed in Ren Ruyi's eyes, and as fast as lightning, his hand slashed across Lou Qingqiang's throat.
