The world of film and television begins from childhood

This sudden scene was so shocking that the faces of everyone present changed. Many people in Liudaotang even screamed in shock and wanted to draw their weapons.

Zhang Song shouted in time: "Stop." This stopped everyone from moving.

If we were to say who was the most confused person, it would definitely be the person involved, Lou Qingqiang. The severe pain in his neck made him overwhelmed. He raised his hand and touched the wound on his neck. Blood soaked his fingers. He slowly turned his head, just glanced at Ren Ruyi, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

He never understood until his death why Ren Ruyi wanted to kill him and why he dared to kill him, so he died with his eyes open.

Ren Ruyi looked at him falling to the ground with cold eyes, dropped the bamboo leaf in his hand, and said coldly: "The first one."

Zhou Chen crossed his arms and said softly, "That's decisive."

Now is indeed the best opportunity. Ren Ruyi seized the opportunity very accurately. If he didn't act now, even if he could succeed in killing Lou Qingqiang again in the future, it would definitely take a lot of effort.

Although Ning Yuanzhou had known for a long time that Ren Ruyi was no simple person, he was still shocked at this moment. He winked at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen understood what he meant, but just smiled slightly and didn't care.

Yuanlu opened his mouth slightly. He was really scared. How could Sister Ruyi, who looked so soft and pitiful in his eyes, be so fierce?

The atmosphere became tense. Fortunately, Zhang Song didn't care about Lou Qingqiang's life or death. Instead, he warned everyone.

"Listen to me, you must not be rude to Hall Master Ning's friends. Hall Master Ning, please."

Zhang Song and Ning Yuanzhou walked to a pavilion nearby to drink tea, while Zhou Chen and the other two stood not far away. They were surrounded by the Imperial Guards and people from the Six Paths Hall, and they didn't even put down their bows and crossbows.

Although Zhang Song told everyone not to be rude, he still surrounded Zhou Chen and the other two, not giving them a chance to escape. It could also be said that he was using them to threaten Ning Yuanzhou.

After Ren Ruyi wiped Yuan Lu's wound, he glanced at Zhang Song and Ning Yuanzhou who were sitting opposite each other in the pavilion and drinking tea, and then asked Zhou Chen who seemed to be watching the fun.

"You're not worried at all?"

"Are you worried that Zhang Song will attack us? Don't worry, he is a politician who puts his own interests first. Killing us will not benefit him except that he can vent his anger a little. He set up a trap not to kill people, but to save people."

"Rescue?"

Ren Ruyi was surprised and didn't understand what Zhou Chen meant.

Zhou Chen said: "You may not know yet, the battle between An and Wu at Tianmen Pass has ended, and our Emperor Wu was defeated and captured seven days ago."

As soon as this was said, Ren Ruyi immediately understood.

"You mean to say that your Prime Minister Zhang wants Ning Yuanzhou to go to Anguo to rescue Emperor Wu? Does Ning Yuanzhou have such great ability?"

The Zhuyi Guards and the Liudaotang are sworn enemies. She had heard of Ning Yuanzhou a long time ago, but had never met him before, and she didn't know how powerful he was.

"Ning Yuanzhou once lurked in Anguo. If we were to ask who in the entire Wuguo had the best chance of rescuing Emperor Wu from Anguo, he would be ranked first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanlu next to him complained dissatisfiedly: "Brother Zhou, why do you tell everything to others?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Ruyi is one of us now. She won't go out and say anything."

Ren Ruyi snorted coldly: "You and I are not from the same family. If this hadn't happened, we would have parted ways long ago."

"We haven't parted ways yet. You're going back to Anguo anyway. Maybe we can continue to be together in the future."

"how do you know……"

Ren Ruyi was about to question, but suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He glared at Zhou Chen in displeasure and simply stopped talking.

But she was really confused in her heart. How come Zhou Chen seemed to know her so well? He even knew her next move and that she was going back to Anguo? But she was sure that she had never seen Zhou Chen before.

In the pavilion, Zhang Song and Ning Yuanzhou had already started talking. Zhang Song explained his purpose to Ning Yuanzhou and asked him to rush to Anguo to bring back Emperor Wu.

Of course Ning Yuanzhou refused outright. If he had not experienced the Battle of Tianmen Pass, he might still have hope for Emperor Wu and Dawu. But now, he had personally experienced the Battle of Tianmen Pass and had long lost trust in Emperor Wu. He had no good feelings towards the powerful minister Zhang Song at all. Of course, he was unwilling to go to Anguo.

But since Zhang Song had come, how could he just end it because of Ning Yuanzhou's refusal? He threatened Ning Yuanzhou by saying that the envoy going to Anguo to welcome the emperor was Princess Yang Ying.

Ning Yuanzhou was good friends with Princess Yang Ying, who always called him brother, so Zhang Song used Yang Ying as a bargaining chip and even made harsh remarks.

"If you still want to refuse, I will let the princess die now. In fact, I don't care who sits on this dragon throne, but I will never allow anyone to challenge my power over Daogu."

These words were disrespectful to the emperor and extremely treasonous, but Zhang Song said them in front of Ning Yuanzhou without any scruples.

Afterwards, he issued another threat, saying that he had buried gunpowder on the route that Yang Ying's team had to pass, and that it would ignite and explode as soon as the siren sounded.

Ning Yuanzhou was reluctant to agree. As Zhang Song's countdown began, Yuanlu wanted to stop the release of Mingdi, but he was still a step too late.

The whistling arrow was fired, and soon after, a loud explosion was heard.

The young and energetic Yuan Lu roared at Zhang Song angrily, but Zhang Song didn't take his words seriously at all. He only had Ning Yuanzhou in his eyes.

Ren Ruyi asked Zhou Chen: "I see you don't have any emotions at all, so you're not worried about the princess?"

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "I have no friendship with that princess, why should I worry, not to mention he is not stupid, if he really kills Yang Ying, then there is really no room for negotiation. Ning Yuanzhou is not talking now, but in fact he is about to agree."

Zhang Song was able to become a powerful official second only to the emperor, and his ability to control people's hearts was extraordinary. He knew Ning Yuanzhou's weaknesses and how to exploit them.

After taking advantage of Yang Ying, he talked about the Tiandao Taoist followers in the Tianmen Pass battle and threatened Ning Yuanzhou with their reputation.

In the end, driven by friendship, Ning Yuanzhou agreed to Zhang Song's request and drank the poison, which made Zhang Song completely relieved.

Zhang Song reinstated Ning Yuanzhou to his original post, and even went a step further, making him the new leader of Liudao Hall. He also allowed Ning Yuanzhou to command troops and lead people to Anguo.

"Prime Minister, before that, I want to ask you for something."

"You said."

"My good friend Zhou Chen wants to leave Liudaotang. He hopes the Prime Minister will agree and not put him on the wanted list in the future."

Zhang Song just looked at Zhou Chen in surprise and agreed.

"Okay, I promise you."

After the discussion, the group returned to the city, and Ning Yuanzhou went back to recruit soldiers.

It was not until the evening that everything was settled, and Zhang Song finally withdrew the people who had been monitoring Zhou Chen and the others.

Ren Ruyi proposed to leave overnight, and Zhou Chen sent her out of the city.

They were silent all the way until they reached the outskirts of the city. Ren Ruyi suddenly said, "Thank you. I owe you another favor."

"You mean?"

"Zhao Ji, you killed Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji was originally my second target. If you killed him, it would be like helping me."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "If that's the case, then you don't have to worry about it. I killed him for myself, not for you."

Ren Ruyi said: "I don't care, anyway, Zhao Ji died in your hands, for me, that's enough."

"Okay, then I'll accept your favor. Lou Qingqiang is the first one, Zhao Ji is the second one, and the third one seems to be Mr. Yue. I know some information about this Mr. Yue. She is Yue Sanniang, the purple-clothed envoy of the Wuguo branch of the Zhuyi Guard. She usually hides her head and shows her tail, wearing a mask and a cloak. She is about three inches taller than you."

Zhou Chen told Ren Ruyi the specific information about Mr. Yue, and Ren Ruyi listened very carefully.

"Thank you."

"This is the second time you've thanked me. This doesn't really fit with your identity as an assassin."

Ren Ruyi said coldly: "You helped me, I thank you, what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing wrong."

"In that case, let's separate again. I'm leaving."

"Okay, by the way, I should follow the Wu Kingdom's delegation to An Kingdom next. If you also want to go back to An Kingdom, maybe..."

"unnecessary."

Ren Ruyi refused indifferently, then jumped on the horse, swung the reins, and rode away.

Watching her leaving, Zhou Chen smiled slightly. He would join the delegation, and would also let Ren Ruyi join the delegation. In this way, the journey would not be boring.

Zhou Chen quietly returned to Liudao Hall and just in time saw Ning Yuanzhou gathering his team and discussing matters.

Ning Yuanzhou heard it as soon as he approached.

"come on."

"I thought you were going to charge me with trespassing into the Six Paths Hall. After all, I am no longer a member of the Six Paths Hall."

Zhou Chen walked out slowly. He was very familiar with Liudao Hall, so it was very easy for him to come in without alerting other people.

When they saw Zhou Chen appear, several people had different expressions. Although Zhou Chen knew Qian Zhao and Sun Lang, they were not very familiar with each other. His relationship with Yu Shisan was slightly better, after all, they were once cellmates.

So when Yu Shisan saw Zhou Chen, he immediately stood up, pointed at Zhou Chen and shouted: "Zhou Chen, you still have the nerve to appear in front of me. I still remember how you abandoned me and left alone."

Facing the gossipy gaze, Zhou Chen said, "Can you blame me for this? I didn't have the ability to release you at the time, and I can't afford to offend Minister Liu."

Yu Shisan said angrily, "You are not a brother. You came out on your own and never thought of sending me something good to eat and drink. Do you know how hard my life was in prison?"

"I see you're living a pretty comfortable life. There are so many ladies and young ladies in the prison vying for your favor."

"What do you know? That's my personal charm. I don't care. You left me to die without saving me. If you don't compensate me well, I won't let it go."

Ning Yuanzhou said at the right time: "Yu Shisan, if you want to fight Zhou Chen, then I have to advise you, he is not the same as before, Zhao Ji was killed by him, you must not ask for trouble."

Yuanlu nodded repeatedly like a supporting actor. He had witnessed Zhou Chen's power with his own eyes. His swordsmanship was so amazing. He had never seen such exquisite swordsmanship before.

"Hiss, you killed Zhao Ji?"

Yu Shisan's face was filled with shock. He was familiar with Zhou Chen and knew how good Zhou Chen's martial arts were half a year ago. He was even more aware of Zhao Ji's martial arts, so he was shocked.

Qian Zhao and Sun Lang were also surprised. Zhou Chen was from Senluo Palace. Except for Ning Yuanzhou, the other members of Senluo Palace were not famous for their martial arts. If what Ning Yuanzhou said was true, then Zhou Chen's martial arts should not be underestimated.

Chapter 1396 Joining the Mission and Inviting Ren Ruyi

Zhou Chen walked over and sat down next to Ning Yuanzhou and the others.

"It's just killing Zhao Ji, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Yu Shisan said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk, you are pretending. I really didn't realize that, Zhou Chen, you are pretending now too."

Ning Yuanzhou asked, "You have left Liudaotang now. Didn't you say you were going to travel? Didn't you leave with your girlfriend?"

Zhou Chen replied, "She has something else to do, so she left first. As for me, I do want to travel, but I thought about it and realized that you have helped me a lot. It would not be good if I just left like that. So I thought about it and realized that you are going to Anguo with the delegation. I am also traveling, so it doesn't matter where I go. I might as well go with you to Anguo."

Ning Yuanzhou frowned slightly: "You know the purpose of our trip to Anguo. The journey will be full of dangers. Once we arrive in Anguo, our lives may be in danger."

"It doesn't matter. I'm good at Qinggong. If my life is really in danger, I can just run away first."

After these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Zhou Chen with strange eyes.

"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? I don't receive your salary, why do you want me to risk my life?"

Yu Shisan said again: "One more thing, you are not only good at pretending, but you are also becoming more and more shameless."

Zhou Chen smiled, there were some words he couldn't say, saving Emperor Wu from Andu, but his main mission was something he had to complete, now he was just looking for an excuse.

Ning Yuanzhou said in a deep voice: "Zhou Chen, are you sure you want to come with us?"

In fact, he was open to Zhou Chen joining the delegation. When they were surrounded before, the martial arts and swordsmanship Zhou Chen displayed were really amazing. If Zhou Chen could join, it would definitely be a great help to them.

"Of course, I will join the mission with you and can help a little on the way, but you have to provide food and drink."

"No problem. I can agree to let you join. If you want to leave at that time, you can leave at any time."

As soon as Ning Yuanzhou finished speaking, Qian Zhao frowned and said, "The diplomatic mission is of great importance. If they can come and go as they please, that's not a good idea, right?"

Ning Yuanzhou waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I believe him. Zhou Chen, you are welcome to join us."

Zhou Chen bumped fists with Ning Yuanzhou and said, "Thank you very much. Although I have withdrawn from the Six Paths Hall now, I am also very upset about the false accusations against the brothers of the Heavenly Path. I also hope to do my part to help the brothers of the Heavenly Path and the Six Paths Hall clear the grievances and dispel the rumors."

These words immediately made Ning Yuanzhou and the others silent. Even Qian Zhao, who had expressed an opinion just now, was moved. His eyes changed and became much gentler. He didn't say anything more.

"Oh, that's right."

Yu Shisan, who was good at adjusting the atmosphere, clapped his hands and laughed happily. His idea was simple: having one more person among his own was a good thing.

The next morning, Zhou Chen and his team set out. At this time, the delegation had arrived at Yongcheng, west of Wudu, and was staying at Luming Post Station. They needed to meet up with the delegation and take on the task of protecting the delegation.

Ning Yuanzhou and his four companions were all wearing the official uniforms of Liudaotang, while Zhou Chen was dressed lightly in green clothes.

"I told you to choose white. Only white can make you look elegant and handsome. But you insisted on choosing cyan. What kind of vision do you have?"

Yu Shisan kept complaining while holding Zhou Chen. If it wasn't for Ning Yuanzhou's mandatory request, he wouldn't want to wear the official uniform of Liudaotang. Since he couldn't wear white clothes, he set his sights on Zhou Chen. Unfortunately, Zhou Chen didn't listen to him at all. He asked him to wear white clothes, but Zhou Chen insisted on wearing green clothes, which made him very angry.

Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "You need white to show your charm, and I am charming enough. No matter what color clothes I wear, I will still be dazzling."

Yu Shisan was dumbfounded: "I finally found someone who can pretend better than me. You are so shameless."

"To each other, to each other."

Starting from the capital, the group rode at full speed and arrived at Luming Post Station before noon.

"Brother Yuanzhou, Brother Yuanzhou..."

As soon as they arrived at the post station, they saw Yang Ying running out excitedly and shouting loudly.
