Chapter 39 Chen Ding, Deputy Commander of the Su Guard
Zhou Jian was assassinated, and the assassins were still the Wang brothers, but Zhou Jian did not die. This news set off a storm throughout the government and the opposition. But for Zhou Jian, none of this meant anything, and after he dealt with the third concubine, he returned to Qingshui Palace.
At this moment, the main hall of Qingshui Palace has been completely ruined, with broken walls and broken pillars all over the place, and some palaces next to it have also been affected, and almost half of the Qingshui Palace has been razed to the ground.
Zhou Jian found a small palace room intact and walked in, this palace room is not commonly used, naturally it is not very clean, the room is full of dust, and the tip of the nose can still smell a pungent smell.
Zhou Jian frowned slightly, but he was helpless. After entering the palace, he sat on the ground casually, and then took out the spoils of war.
A small black sword, a Qiankun bag, and a corpse.
Although Zhou Jian didn't know who the assassin he met was, he also knew that it was powerful when he heard the exclamation of the third concubine.
And this little black sword was the assassin's personal blade, Zhou Jian naturally knew that it was extraordinary, so he put it away.
As for the corpse, Zhou Jian didn't know what to do with it. It stands to reason that the monk's corpse should have some effect, so Zhou Jian also stayed.
As for the Qiankun bag, it is the foundation of a monk, and there should be a lot of assassin wealth in it. Coincidentally, after the death of the owner, the Qiankun bag is equivalent to a box without a lock, and outsiders can find the goods in it casually.
Thinking about it, Zhou Jian's heart was hot, this was the personal property of the monks in the foundation building period.
So Zhou Jian temporarily put down the little black sword and corpse, and began to fiddle with the Qiankun bag. used Zhao Wenjiao's old method, and opened the Qiankun bag very smoothly.
The space in this Qiankun bag is much wider than Zhou Jian's. There are a lot of pills, spirit stones, jade slips, magic weapons and so on.
Zhou Jian first swept away some magic weapons, and suddenly gasped, there are five magic weapons, all of them are treasures, and they look very powerful.
At this time, Zhou Jian's heart was faintly afraid, although he had the spider puppet, but people were not without hole cards.
If it weren't for the spider puppet being transformed by him and striking first, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for him to save his life in the hands of this assassin. Taking a deep breath, Zhou Jian continued to look at those pills, spirit stones, and jade slips.
The jade slip recorded the exercises practiced by the Wang brothers, called "Quick Decision", Zhou Jian was not interested in it at a glance, this thing was only effective with the assassination technique.
The rest of the spirit stones are mostly the same as the spirit stones in Zhou Jian's hand, but the number is much more, there are more than 100 of them.
As for the pill, it was much more upscale than the pill in Zhou Jian's hand, Zhou Jian took out one of the bottles of pills and opened the cork. Suddenly, a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out. It is very high-end, and it should be a special elixir for monks in the foundation building period.
The Zhao family is down, and they are afraid that they are not rich. Naturally, it was impossible to supply him with too much cultivation needs, and although it was dangerous this time, if he was a little bit worse, he would die. But having harvested this batch of precious pills, a large number of spirit stones, magic weapons, jade slips, etc., can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"If you want to make a fortune, you really have to rely on killing people to get more goods. Faced with this sudden sudden rich, Zhou Jian had to sigh. Immediately, he packed all the contents of the original Qiankun bag into this newly obtained Qiankun bag.
The only thing that surprised Zhou Jian was that the Qiankun bag could not be packed into the Qiankun bag, and obviously the space inside the two could not be superimposed.
"The world is still quite complicated, and there are so many things I don't know. Zhou Jian sighed slightly, and put away the two Qiankun bags indifferently.
After putting away the Qiankun bag, because of the existence of Huaping, he couldn't rashly cultivate Zhou Tian's changes, so Zhou Jian began to close his eyes and recuperate, waiting for the dawn.
"Oh. ”
Time seemed to fly by in a snap of a finger, and soon, a rooster crowed. Zhou Jian also opened his eyes, and a ray of light penetrated through the crack in the door and shot into the palace, it was another day.
"Your Majesty's edict, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move. ”
At this moment, a sharp voice sounded.
"Edict, it seems that he can't wait for me to go to the sea to die. Zhou Jian sneered, got up and walked out.
Outside the Qingshui Palace, there is a team of eunuchs, led by an old eunuch, thin and weak, like a withered tree, at this moment the old eunuch is holding a scroll of edicts in his hand.
This old eunuch Zhou Jian recognized that he was the most powerful eunuch chief beside Zhou Zheng, surnamed Chen. The people below are all called Mr. Chen.
Don't look at the thin appearance of this old eunuch, it's unremarkable. But many people are convinced that this old eunuch is the number one master in the palace, because this old eunuch is too old, and he served the previous king long before the current king of Zhou, Zhou Zheng, ascended the throne. It's certainly not easy to live for so long. Not only that, since Zhou Zheng ascended the throne, the old eunuch has also become Zhou Zheng's right and left hand, and can influence Zhou Zheng's decision-making, and he is very important in the palace and even in the entire Great Zhou.
Even the third concubine, even Queen Zhao back then, was afraid of this person. Let him be more respectful to the old eunuch.
"Does this old guy also want to accompany me to the south?" These things Queen Zhao said to Zhou Jian back then, and he was still at ease, Zhou Jian was naturally very jealous, but his face was not obvious, and he walked over as usual.
Seeing Zhou Jian coming, this Chief Manager Chen nodded, unfolded the edict in his hand, and said: "Your Majesty's edict orders the crown prince Zhou Jian to go south immediately." ”
"No. ”
Zhou Jian saw that as expected, he really asked him to go south, so he agreed very calmly.
Chief Manager Chen was a little surprised when he saw Zhou Jian's calm expression, he had been in the palace for many years, but he had never seen someone like Zhou Jian, with a horizontal knife in his neck, and he was dying, but he could still be so calm. This shows Zhou Jian's surname, which is as hard as iron. According to the emperor's judgment, it is very rare to be able to be as hard as iron and to be happy and angry.
But it's a pity that Manager Chen remembered Zhou Zheng's layout again, and couldn't help shaking his head, the prince is a good prince, but it's a pity that he can't tolerate it today.
However, Manager Chen also came to deliver the edict, and although he sighed in his heart, he didn't say anything. After passing the edict, he bowed slightly and said, "The edict has arrived, and the old slave has taken his leave." ”
This old eunuch is worthy of being entrenched in the palace for many years, and whether it is talking or behaving, he is very respectful and reasonable. It is many times stronger than the so-called deep Concubine Deng of the city. Although it is Zhou Zheng's right and left hand, it is not too annoying.
"Please. ”
Seeing this, Zhou Jian also nodded politely and said falsely. I was also relieved in my heart, it would be good if this old eunuch didn't go south with him.
Seeing this, Manager Chen owed money again, turned around and left. Soon after, another group of men entered. This team of people and horses are all guards, and there are more than 50 people. They were clustered around a carriage, which was very luxurious and huge, and it was the wildebeest who was responsible for pulling it.
A wildebeest is a horse with horns on its head, but unlike ordinary horses, wildebeest is a low-level monster beast with very strong legs.
What's even more rare is that the surname is docile and easy to tame, and it is a very common means of transportation in the current popular continent.
Among this team, the leader is Hanaping. However, what attracted Zhou Jian's attention the most was not Hua Ping, although Hua Ping was powerful, he had been famous for a long time after all, and Zhou Jian had seen it in his early years. Last night, he even saw Hua Ping make a move with his own eyes, and he was somewhat prepared in his heart.
But the person standing next to Hua Ping, Zhou Jian had never seen it. This man was not of outstanding physique among the guards, and he was wearing the same armor as the rest of the guards.
His eyes were a little wooden, and his face was even more expressionless, looking plain. But it was such an inconspicuous character, but Zhou Jian felt a momentum no less than Huaping, no, not momentum, but a sense of danger.
"This man is very dangerous. After just one glance, Zhou Jian's pupils shrank slightly, and he was very jealous in his heart. couldn't help laughing at himself, thinking that the old eunuch didn't have to follow, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. But he didn't expect the king of Da Zhou to give him an insurance.
A nine-layer cultivation in the foundation building period can easily kill the eldest of the Wang brothers, Wang Qian's Huaping. Plus this is a very dangerous veteran.
These two men formed a huge and strong cage that bound him and suppressed him. In an instant, Zhou Jian felt a great pressure. However, he has also personally experienced the desperate environment of extracting teeth from the tiger's mouth and seizing the crown prince in the hands of Deng Ma, Guan Xing, and Ming Yuan.
A heart is also considered to be strong and abnormal, and with the posture of Zhou Zheng to kill him. Surveillance on this scale is more commonplace.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please get in the car. Just when Zhou Jian was laughing at himself, the team stopped in front of Zhou Jian. Hua Ping stepped forward and saluted Zhou Jianxing.
Zhou Jian retracted the self-deprecation in his heart and calmed down. Nodding his head, "yes." After saying to Hua Ping, Zhou Jian turned his head and asked Chen Dingdao, "I don't know who this general is?"
"Chen Ding, the deputy commander of the last general Su Wei, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. Chen Ding saluted, his voice was flat, and his eyes were still blank.
What made Zhou Jian feel dangerous was the other deputy commander of the palace guards who was as famous as Hua Ping, Chen Ding, who was valued by General Manager Chen.
The deputy commander of the guard, who is at the same level as Hua Ping, his feeling is really right, this guy is very dangerous. Zhou Jian's heart moved, nodded towards Chen Ding, and stepped on the frame.
"Do you feel the danger? Hua Ping was slightly surprised when he saw this, he didn't expect Zhou Jian's senses to be so keen, and he felt Chen Ding's danger.
Immediately, Hua Ping glanced at Chen Ding, this guy was a little jealous of him.
But it's also good that this time I went south to Haidu, the road is long and it takes a long time. And this crown prince can get rid of Wang Cheng, I am afraid that there are many means, and he is afraid that he alone will not be able to monitor it. It's also good to have Chen Ding with you.
