Zhou Zechen nodded and spit out two words in a deep voice. "Showdown. ”

Zhou Xingxing smiled.

"yes. It's for the showdown. Zhou Xingxing patted his grandson on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Chen'er, grandfather told you this, not only because today is the day of the showdown between the emperor and the eldest princess, but also because grandfather confesses all this to you, but also hopes that you can take on the future of the Zhou family!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Xingxing sighed.

"Chen'er, grandfather knows, I'm afraid it's hard for you to accept this for a while. Grandfather doesn't force you, you stay here and think about it, think about the humiliation and grievances suffered by the ancestors of my Zhou clan hundreds of years ago, think about the world that you will have on your shoulders in the future, and think about what you have to do so that you don't live up to your surname and the blood flowing in your body! And grandfather, after all, is old. ”

After speaking, Zhou Xingxing patted his grandson's shoulder again and turned to leave.

Zhou Zechen looked at the back of his grandfather leaving, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

Once upon a time, the grandfather who always kept his back straight, now has some rickets?

It turned out that before I knew it, my grandfather was really old......

Zhou Zechen closed his eyes.

Grandfather is right, everything about the Zhou family, including the hatred and grievances of the past and all the hopes for the future, will be pressed on his shoulders......

Just because, his surname is Zhou, and he is the bloodline of the Zhou royal family. And no matter how he escapes, the blood of the Zhou royal family will always flow in his body!

He had no struggle, and he couldn't escape.

Because he was born into the Zhou family, he was born as Zhou Zechen.

The holy Ze is like the East China Sea, and the astronomy is like the North Star. From the moment his grandfather named him Zhou Zechen, he had already borne such a responsibility!

For a while, Zhou Zechen only felt extremely bitter, and just wanted to ask Cangtian loudly.

But why does God have to let himself know this at this time?

Why?

Why did he just let him know all this when he had just decided to leave everything behind and stay with that girl for the rest of his life no matter what!

The blood feud of the ancestors, and the lives of hundreds of people of the Zhou clan, were all pressed on him.

How did he escape?

Zhou Zechen took a deep breath.

He is a descendant of the Zhou royal family of the Yunzhou Empire, and he bears the blood feud of his ancestors on his shoulders, and he bears the mission of recovering the Zhou clan;

For this reason, he must turn the world of this Yun family upside down!

But what about the girl?

She is the hope of the future of Qingyi College and the only successor of Zhang Huanghou. On her shoulders, she also carries the world, but what she wants to carry is that the world is peaceful and there will never be war!

He and her, they also have too many responsibilities on their shoulders, and how can they be together with such opposite responsibilities?

He wants to fight, she wants to fight......

Between them, fate ...... No solution!

Zhou Zechen took a deep breath, and a tear slowly welled up from the corner of his eye.

Providence makes people, providence makes people!

He and her, after all, are in deep love, and they are inseparable after all......

Therefore, he chose to appear indifferently beside that girl at that time, so even though he felt terrible pain in his heart, he had to look at her indifferently and let her misunderstand himself......

He thought that it would be better to let her take the initiative to leave him and be cold to herself than to suffer with him......

But God knows, how much pain does his heart have?

It hurts so much that I can't help myself, I can't breathe......

Susu ......

Zhou Zechen muttered these two words and slowly opened his eyes.

Susu, don't blame me......

Susu, from now on, when we meet again, you and I have different positions......

The night breeze blows and the candles flicker.

Zhou Zechen suddenly bent down and reached out to cover his chest.

Then, a mouthful of blood gushed out......

In an instant, Zhou Zechen only felt that his eyes were dark, and the sky was dim.

"Susu!"

Before he fell unconscious, only these two words were left in his mind.

......

At the same time, in the night, An Lingsu and Yun Ji were quietly walking in the deep palace under the cover of night.

Since entering the palace, Yun Ji took the initiative to step forward and took on the task of leading the way.

Although he is not familiar with this palace that eats people and does not spit out bones, compared to the girl next to him, he is also a person who has lived in this palace for a while.

The two didn't say anything all the way, and sneaked directly in the direction of the Qinzheng Palace.

As far as Yun Ji knew, the defense maps of all parts of the empire were stored in the Qinzheng Hall on the east side of the emperor.

Xu is tonight's movement at the palace gate is too big, almost all the guards in the palace rushed there, the two of them traveled all the way, but they didn't meet a few people, and they entered the backyard of the Qinzheng Palace very smoothly.

After entering through the window, An Lingsu couldn't help frowning as he looked at the huge palace full of various scrolls.

She knew that the empire was vast and there were many towns, and she had guessed that there must be a lot of scrolls in this palace of diligence, but she didn't expect that there would be so many!

There are so many scrolls in the room, what should she do?

Staying here all the time, killing one by one, killing one by one, killing one by one? Wouldn't that commotion alarm other people?

No way.

An Lingsuwu shook his head.

Or, a one-and-done solution?

Like what...... Set a fire and burn this place to the ground?

However, she can't really set fire to this because she wants to prevent the Empress Dowager Zhou from doing it?---- when the time comes, this fire will not prevent the Empress Dowager Zhou, but it will attract the emperor's people and expose Yun Ji's identity.

What's more, Yun Ji also said that in addition to the defense maps of various parts of the empire, there are also many unique authentic works of sages and Confucians from all dynasties. It would be a pity if such a fire burned.

On the side, Yun Ji smiled when he saw her look like this. "Susu, you don't want to light a fire and burn this place down, do you?"

An Lingsu also smiled and said honestly, "Those who know me, Yun Chengye." To be honest, I do. ”

Yun Ji smiled again, about ...... It's because of the sentence "Those who know me, Yun Cheng also".

"Su Su," he said with a smile, "The idea of setting a fire, though, is good. Unfortunately, it is not realistic. Think about it, for such a large palace, it is winter now, how long will it take to burn to turn all the contents into ashes? But if this palace of diligence is on fire, there must be people around to put out the fire. When the time comes, Empress Dowager Zhou's people will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters......"

That's just as well.

An Lingsu smiled embarrassedly.

Not to mention, when they came over just now, they saw several rows of guards outside the gate of the front yard of the Qinzheng Palace.

Among those people, there may be someone from the Empress Dowager Zhou......

At that time, if it is really robbed by the other party's people, wouldn't it be counterproductive?
