The world of film and television begins from childhood

He already understood in his heart that he would definitely not be the opponent of this mysterious person, as long as he held this person back, it was enough.

When Zhuo Qingyao was killing Zhou Chen, suddenly another man in black descended from the sky, directly attacking Shen Zhui, with a sword as bright as light and as fast as lightning.

When Zhou Chen saw this scene, his eyes turned cold. Regardless of Zhuo Qingyao who was attacking him, he suddenly threw the sword in his hand. The sword shot out like a sharp arrow, shooting at the assassin who was trying to kill Shen Zhui.

This throw was faster than the sword of the man in black. If the man in black did not dodge and continued to attack, he would definitely be stabbed.

Zhuo Qingyao didn't expect Zhou Chen to throw all his weapons away. While he was surprised, he felt that this was an opportunity, so he attacked more fiercely.

Zhuo Qingyao's sword was fast, but Zhou Chen's was even faster. When Zhuo Qingyao's sword was less than a foot away from him, Zhou Chen suddenly stuck out his right hand.

The next moment, Zhuo Qingyao's sword could no longer move forward even a little bit.

Zhuo Qingyao was even more shocked when he saw that the masked man could hold his sword with only two fingers. However, Zhou Chen did not give him any chance. He summoned his inner strength and exerted force with his index and middle fingers, and actually broke the fine steel sword with a sudden bend.

A light palm strike hit Zhuo Qingyao's chest, and then Zhuo Qingyao flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. Even with his face covered, one could see bright red blood spitting out.

On the other side, Zhuo Dingfeng, who was assassinating Zhou Chen, had to give up the attack when faced with the long sword thrown by Zhou Chen. He dodged and gave up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Immediately afterwards, the long sword was nailed on the pillar of the house next to it. Zhou Chen, who had injured Zhuo Qingyao, rushed over at an extremely fast speed, pulled out the long sword, and rushed towards Zhuo Dingfeng.

"Ding ding ding..."

In an instant, the swords collided, making endless metallic clanging sounds.

As one of the top masters in the world, Zhuo Dingfeng is naturally not comparable to Zhuo Qingyao. He did not fall into a disadvantage in the swordsmanship fight with Zhou Chen.

Chapter 842: Zhuo's father and son, Mei Changsu's fear

The more they fought, the more shocked Zhuo Dingfeng became. He was originally very confident in today's assassination, but he never expected that such a powerful enemy would appear.

They had exchanged more than a dozen moves in the blink of an eye. As a Langya List expert with extremely rich combat experience, Zhuo Dingfeng was sure that the man who suddenly appeared to protect Shen Zhui was definitely not weaker than him.

Although he didn't really want to kill Shen Zhui, since he had promised Xie Yu, he would not let him go.

But the more he clashed with Zhou Chen, the more he understood that with this person around, he and his son would never be able to kill Shen Zhui.

Thinking of this, and seeing that Shen Zhui had retreated far away and that he was unable to get rid of this masked man, he immediately made a decision in his heart.

Suddenly he swung the sword in his hand quickly, and the dazzling sword light forced Zhou Chen back, then he retreated quickly and shouted loudly.

"withdraw!"

Then he took the lead to take off into the air, while Zhuo Qingyao, who had been injured by Zhou Chen before, also evacuated from another direction.

Zhou Chen saw the Zhuo father and son leaving. If he gave chase, he would definitely catch up with them, but he didn't think so.

The father and son of the Zhuo family have killed many people. According to the law, they are definitely not good people. However, there are great differences between ancient times and modern times. It is normal to kill people in the underworld and to follow orders. There is no reason to explain it.

The Zhuo father and son are actually pitiful people. They are played around by Xie Yu. And considering their relationship with Xiao Jingrui, Zhou Chen really regards Xiao Jingrui as a friend, so he has never thought about how to treat the Zhuo father and son?

There is another more important point. The father and son of the Zhuo family are the most important bargaining chips for Mei Changsu to bring down Ningguo Marquis Xie Yu, because the father and son of the Zhuo family know almost all of Xie Yu's dirty deeds. As long as the father and son of the Zhuo family testify, Xie Yu will have no chance of turning over.

The sound of hurried horse hooves was heard. Zhou Chen took a look and found that it was Lie Zhanying under Prince Jing who was leading his men. So he did not stop, jumped up, and quickly disappeared.

Before leaving, he glanced in the direction not far from Shen Zhui. When he had just fought with the Zhuo father and son, he had already discovered Xiao Jingrui hiding in the dark, but he just didn't think of exposing him.

Lie Zhanying and his men quickly came to Shen Zhui.

"Master Shen, are you okay?"

Shen Zhui was still in shock: "I'm fine, General Lie, why did you come here suddenly?"

Lie Zhanying answered truthfully: "It was His Royal Highness Prince Jing who discovered something unusual and asked us to come and protect you."

Shen Zhui was touched: "General Lie, please thank His Royal Highness Prince Jing for me."

Then Lie Zhanying asked about what had just happened, and Shen Zhui told him everything he knew and explained everything that had just happened.

Xiao Jingrui, who was hiding in the dark, saw things develop to this point and had no intention of showing up again. Instead, he quickly left the scene.

He saw everything that just happened. He followed Zhuo Qingyao all the way here, and he also recognized the other black-clad assassin. He was his father Zhuo Dingfeng.

He didn't understand why his father and brother wanted to assassinate Shen Zhui. If the masked man hadn't appeared, he would definitely stand up to stop them.

However, thinking about his brother Zhuo Qingyao who had just been injured, he was still worried, so he wanted to go back early to see how Zhuo Qingyao was doing.

The Zhuo family father and son met halfway. When Zhuo Dingfeng saw his son, he asked anxiously and nervously, "Qingyao, how are you?"

Zhuo Qingyao's face was pale, his mask had been removed, and there was still blood at the corners of his mouth.

"Dad, I'm fine, but I have internal injuries. I'm afraid I won't be able to fight in the next few days."

"so serious?"

Zhuo Dingfeng was also shocked. He saw Zhuo Qingyao being slapped away, but he never expected that he was so seriously injured.

Zhuo Qingyao said: "That masked man is too strong. His internal strength and power are far superior to mine. If it weren't for you, Dad, holding me back, I might have been killed by him."

Zhuo Dingfeng looked serious and said, "Let's go back first."

They soon returned to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, and Xie Yu was waiting in the study for the return of the Zhuo father and son.

As soon as Zhuo Dingfeng and his son pushed the door open, he stood up impatiently and asked, "How is it?"

Zhuo Dingfeng replied with a bad look on his face: "Brother Xie, I'm sorry, we failed."

Xie Yu was shocked and asked, "What did you say? You missed it? How could you miss it?"

Zhuo Dingfeng said in a deep voice: "I underestimated the defenses around Shen Zhui. I didn't expect that he had a top master protecting him. Qingyao was even injured by this person. I was worried that if I stayed, something might go wrong, so I chose to retreat."

"A top master? Even Brother Zhuo can't defeat him?"

Xie Yu looked surprised. As for what Zhuo Dingfeng said about Zhuo Qingyao being injured, he didn't take it seriously at all.

Zhuo Dingfeng said truthfully: "This man's martial arts is definitely not inferior to mine, not to mention the emergency at the time. I was worried that if I continued to entangle him, it would attract more support, so I had to retreat."

Xie Yu looked disappointed and said thoughtfully, "Although Shen Zhui is the Minister of Revenue, he is from an aristocratic family and has little contact with the people of Jianghu. How could he have a top-notch guard?"

"Brother Zhuo, you are the fourth-ranked expert on the Langya Expert List. After fighting with this person, can you tell who he is?"

Zhuo Dingfeng pondered and said, "This person has the strength to be on the Langya List. There are not many people with this strength in the capital nowadays. Meng Zhi, who is ranked second on the Langya Master List, is one of them. The little guard beside Mei Changsu is also one of them. There is also Jing Rui's good friend Gongzi Yu. I have never fought with him, but his strength is definitely very strong. In addition to these three, there should be another one, the deputy leader of Jiangzuo League, the most mysterious master in the world, Luosha. Mei Changsu has come to the capital, so it is very likely that he has come too."

Xie Yu said decisively: "It can't be Meng Zhi, Meng Zhi should still be in the palace at this time."

Zhuo Dingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. The other party is an expert in swordsmanship. Commander Meng is good at boxing and long weapons to kill enemies on the battlefield. Swordsmanship is not his specialty."

"It can't be the little guard next to Mei Changsu. I have fought with him before, and he is better at boxing and kicking. Besides, the other party is much taller than him and is a mature man."

"So, the most likely ones are only two, Gongzi Yu and Luosha."

Xie Yu's eyes narrowed: "These two people are related to Mei Changsu, one is a good friend, and the other is his deputy leader. Who do you think is more likely?"

Zhuo Dingfeng shook his head and said, "I can't be sure. I haven't seen Luosha, but I have seen Gongzi Yu, but I have never seen Gongzi Yu's martial arts. Although Gongzi Yu is only a few years older than Jingrui, he can be on the list of the top ten masters, so he must be true. And I heard that he easily defeated Jiangdong Gongzi Prajnazhen half a year ago."

Xie Yu pondered and said, "Young Master Yu should have nothing to do with Shen Zhui. The key point lies in Mei Changsu. Shen Zhui is investigating the private gun factory, which is not good for the crown prince. Mei Changsu is Prince Yu's man, so he must hope that Shen Zhui can find out something. It is understandable that he sent people to protect Shen Zhui."

"Brother Xie, do you mean that the man is the deputy leader of the Jiangzuo League, Luosha?"

Zhuo Dingfeng showed surprise. The two leaders of the Jiangzuo League were both famous figures in the martial arts world. It can be said that they achieved mutual success.

Mei Changsu, relying on the power of the Jiangzuo League, is a top-notch young man in the martial arts world. Although no one knows the origin and identity of Luosha, he is ranked fifth on the Langya Master List. The few times he took action were all earth-shattering and shook the martial arts world. If he is willing to reveal his identity, his prestige will definitely not be much worse than Mei Changsu.

These two people are the top figures in the world. If it is not necessary, he really does not want to confront them.

"Nine out of ten." Xie Yu said.

Zhuo Dingfeng asked hesitantly, "Brother Xie, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to kill Shen Zhui? And what about the private gun shop?"

Xie Yu frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

"The private gun shop was run privately by the former Minister of Revenue Lou Zhijing, and has nothing to do with the Crown Prince. However, Shen Zhui is obsessed with this matter and is trying to frame the Crown Prince. His intentions are really despicable. Prince Yu must be behind this man, in order to frame the Crown Prince in front of His Majesty. So we don't have much time left to resolve this matter."

Zhuo Dingfeng asked in surprise, "Are you saying that Prince Yu is behind Shen Zhui?"

Xie Yu's face suddenly straightened and he said, "Brother Zhuo, don't you believe me?"

Zhuo Dingfeng said with a little embarrassment: "Brother Xie, what are you talking about? Since it is arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will do my best."

The reason why he helped Xie Yu was on the one hand because of their relationship, and on the other hand he also wanted to create a future for Tianquan Villa that could be passed down from generation to generation.

Even though Tianquan Villa has a great influence in the martial arts world, how can the martial arts world be compared with the imperial court? The martial arts world is a bloody place where one can lose one's life at any time. There are vendettas in the martial arts world and one's future is uncertain.

But it is different for officials appointed by the imperial court. If they can serve the emperor well, they will surely get a title, and it may even be hereditary. Isn't this much better than the precarious position in the martial arts world?

So he knew that the methods used by the prince and Xie Yu were sometimes extreme, but as he was used to the fighting in the martial arts world, he also felt that this was one of the necessary means to success.

"It's just that Qingyao is injured now and needs to rest, so he can't do anything. Besides, Shen Zhui is protected by that mysterious man, and our people have been picked up before. Now there is no one available. It will be difficult for me to kill Shen Zhui by myself."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yu's face suddenly turned ugly. The reason why he was able to be promoted so quickly in recent years had a lot to do with the Zhuo family's Tianquan Villa. Tianquan Villa specialized in helping him deal with illegal activities, and had helped him kill countless people.

The power of Tianquan Villa is also something he is proud of.

But now the combat power of Tianquan Villa in the capital has been almost wiped out, leaving only the Zhuo father and son. Now Zhuo Qingyao is injured again. Although Zhuo Dingfeng is a martial arts master, the mysterious man who protects Shen Zhui is equally powerful.

Moreover, after what happened today, Shen Zhui must be like a frightened bird, and his guard must have increased greatly. If he were to assassinate him again, the success rate would probably be even lower.

Xie Yu's eyes were vicious. Even if the success rate was not high, he had to give it a try. He was the one who chose the prince, and he could control the prince. As long as the prince came to the throne, he would be able to control the court in the future and become second only to the emperor and above everyone else. So he had to fight to the end.

"Brother Zhuo, I think we should still give it a try, so I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"Thank you, brother. I am not afraid of hard work, but I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the instructions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Give it a try. If there's really no chance, forget it."

Xie Yu also knew that this was a bit embarrassing for Zhuo Dingfeng, but he still didn't want to give up, so he picked up a map from the table next to him.

"Brother Zhuo, this is the private residence design of Shen Zhui's mansion. Brother Zhuo, I'm counting on you."

Zhuo Dingfeng took the drawing, and Xie Yu suddenly bowed solemnly, and he quickly returned the greeting.

"Don't worry, brother Xie. I will try my best."

Zhuo's father and son walked out of Xie Yu's study. After they were far away, Zhuo Qingyao couldn't help but say, "Dad, it's too dangerous for you to go alone. You really shouldn't have agreed to this."

Xie Yu is his father-in-law, and he is also helping Xie Yu, but Zhuo Dingfeng is his biological father. He knows how powerful that mysterious man is. They have alerted the enemy again. If they try to assassinate him again, they might set a trap, so he is particularly worried.

Zhuo Dingfeng said in a deep voice: "I know that too, but this is an opportunity for our Zhuo family at Tianquan Villa. Without effort, there will be no reward. We have always wanted to get rid of our identity as a family of Jianghu, and helping the prince ascend the throne is our greatest opportunity."

Zhuo Qingyao remained silent. He understood this, but he was still worried about his father.

The two returned to the room, changed their clothes, and just walked out of the room.

"Dad, Brother Qingyao."

Xiao Jingrui came towards them, and both the father and son changed their expressions and smiled.

"Jingrui, you didn't go out?"

Xiao Jingrui did not smile, but looked gloomy: "I'm going out, Brother Qingyao, is your injury serious?"

The faces of the Zhuo family father and son suddenly changed. Zhuo Qingyao couldn't help but ask, "Jing Rui, what are you talking about? When did I get hurt?"

Xiao Jingrui said directly, "Brother Qingyao, don't pretend. I followed you all the way today, so I know exactly where you went and what you did. I saw with my own eyes that you were beaten by that masked man and vomited blood. You must have suffered serious internal injuries, right?"

Seeing that Xiao Jingrui had already told the situation at that time, the Zhuo family father and son looked even uglier.

"Jing Rui, you actually followed me, what do you want to do?"

"I didn't mean to do anything. Dad, brother, why did you want to kill Lord Shen? After Lord Shen took office as the Minister of Revenue, I have never heard of any bad deeds. Dad, why did you want to assassinate him?"

Zhuo Dingfeng knew he couldn't keep it a secret any longer, so he said, "I don't need to tell you who arranged this, but I believe you can guess it. How can I control this?"

Xiao Jingrui said angrily: "I don't understand what the party struggle is all about. I only know that as a human being, we must distinguish between right and wrong. Does Daddy really want the sword that has been passed down from generation to generation in Tianquan Villa to be stained with the blood of innocent people?"

"you."

Zhuo Dingfeng was angry and wanted to hit someone, but Zhuo Qingyao held him back.

"Jing Rui, what your father and I have planned is for the future of Xie and Zhuo. I usually don't want you to get involved because I spoil you, but you can't do this. If your father knows about this, even I can't protect you. Do you understand?"

Although he was angry, he also knew that Xiao Jingrui really cared about them. He just felt that the child's ideas were too simple and too easily misled, so he didn't want Xiao Jingrui to know too much.

Xiao Jingrui's eyes were red after being scolded by Zhuo Dingfeng. He felt that what his father and brother did were not what gentlemen do, but facing Zhuo Dingfeng's reprimand, the filial son could not refute and could only be angry with himself.

…………

After Zhou Chen left the assassination scene, he asked Zhen Ping to replace him, and then he returned to the Su Mansion and found Mei Changsu.

"Shen Zhui encountered an assassination attempt today, but I stopped him."

Mei Changsu was warming himself by the fire. Hearing this, he rubbed his hands and said, "You should have some idea of ​​who the assassin was, right?"

"Yes, Zhuo Dingfeng and Zhuo Qingyao, father and son, from Tianquan Villa."
