Chapter 350: The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die
Outside the city of Luoxia.
Zhou Shangzhi drove the carriage on the trail, and more than a dozen guards of the Zhou Mansion followed closely behind the carriage.
The reason why Zhou Shangzhi did not choose to take the official road, but shuttled through the jungle, was because he was worried that he would expose his whereabouts on the official road and attract an ambush from the killer.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that this time, he was smart and was mistaken by being smart.
At this moment, Zhou Shangzhi didn't notice the danger hidden around the silence at all, just whipped the horses vigorously and headed towards the place where the person who answered them was.
Whoosh!
Just as the carriage had just passed through a jungle, suddenly, the sound of breaking the sky came, and the arrows that exuded a cold glow instantly shot several guards of the Zhou Mansion.
"Protect your lordship!"
The remaining Zhou palace guards came back to their senses, and they all sacrificed their blades to the carriage and protected the carriage in the middle.
"Kill!"
At the same time, in the darkness of the night, more than a dozen black-clothed killers rushed out.
"Young Master, take the adults first!"
These guards of the Zhou Mansion were also loyal, even if they knew that they would not be the opponents of these killers, but at the first time these killers appeared, these guards still rushed forward, and they all regarded death as home.
Zhou Shangzhi gritted his teeth, whipped the horse's buttocks hard, and the carriage ran forward again.
But the carriage only moved forward less than a few dozen meters, and in front of the road, a black figure slowly appeared in Zhou Shangzhi's sight, blocking the way forward.
"Give up, you won't be able to escape today."
The person blocking the road put his hands behind his back and looked at Zhou Shangzhi in the carriage with an indifferent face. And when Zhou Shangzhi saw this person's face clearly, his face couldn't help but change in shock, and he exclaimed.
"It's you, Zuo Qing!"
The person who came, it was the guard with a knife in front of the emperor, Zuo Qing!
There is no doubt that it is Li Deyi who will put Zhou Wenbing to death this time!
As Wen Haoxuan said to Chu Mo before, Kyoto is full of royal eyeliner, Chu Mo and Yu Zixuan left Kyoto and came to Luoxia City, when this news reached Li Deyi's ears, it would naturally attract Li Deyi's attention.
Under the tracking of the hidden prison all the way, Li Deyi actually received the news that Zhou Wenbing, who was supposed to die in the prison of the Criminal Department, did not die, which made Li Deyi extremely angry.
Especially after Li Deyi learned that Zhou Wenbing was actually rescued by Chu Mo, Li Deyi seemed to understand a lot of things in an instant.
For Li Deyi, Chu Mo's matter is still small, but Zhou Wenbing's survival is a time bomb for him, if the incident of twenty years ago spreads, he is afraid that he will have no face and no face to face the people of the world.
Therefore, for the sake of his own face, why is the face of the royal family, Li Deyi directly asked Zuo Qing to assassinate Zhou Wenbing this time.
And those killers who can be inseparable from the Chu family army are naturally the elite of the royal guard.
"The whole world is not the king's land, even if you can escape today, but the great generals have no place for your Zhou family, Lord Zhou, Your Majesty has promised you to let your whole family live, but you are a greedy person who is afraid of death."
"Today, Your Majesty ordered me to take the lives of your Zhou family, and Lord Zhou will go all the way."
As he spoke, Zuo Qing put down his hands, and a long knife was clenched in his right hand.
Seeing this, Zhou Shangzhi showed a solemn look on his face, although he did not serve in the imperial court, he still knew about Zuo Qing, the guard with a knife in front of the palace.
The cultivation of the Eight Grades Realm is definitely not something he can match.
But at this moment, he has no way out, even if he dies, he will not let Zuo Qing hurt his father in the slightest.
Picking up the long sword on the side, jumping out of the carriage, Zhou Shangzhi looked at Zuo Qing on the opposite side with a cold face.
And just when Zhou Shangzhi's long sword was unsheathed and he was about to make a move.
Suddenly!
A sound of breaking the sky came from behind him, and a small stone slammed into the back of Zhou Shangzhi's head.
Zhou Shangzhi
There was no reaction, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the whole person collapsed to the ground like a deflated pleading.
In the last moment of his coma, Zhou Shangzhi looked in the direction where the carriage was, only to see the curtain slowly opened, and his father walked out of the carriage with a weak face.
And the stone that could hit him just now was his father's hand.
When Zhou Shangzhi wanted to struggle to get up to protect his father, a feeling of dizziness suddenly came to his mind, looking at his father looking at him with a smile on his face, Zhou Shangzhi finally passed out without the strength to pass.
This scene that happened suddenly was not expected by Rao Zuo Qing.
Seeing Zhou Wenbing get out of the carriage, Zuo Qing's eyes froze, and the killing intent on his body permeated out.
At this moment, Zhou Wenbing had a smile on his face.
Slowly stepped forward and walked in front of Zhou Shangzhi, staggered down his body, stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhou Shangzhi's head with a doting face, Zhou Wenbing's eyes were full of reluctance.
And Zuo Qing didn't make a move at the moment, just looked at Zhou Wenbing quietly.
"I didn't expect Your Majesty's homicidal heart for Zhou to be so strong, and he actually dispatched you, the imperial guard with a sword."
Zhou Wenbing looked at Zuo Qing not far ahead, his face full of self-deprecation.
wanted to saddle up for Li Deyi, but in the end he still became an outcast, do you want to say that the current Zhou Wenbing has any regrets in his heart?
Of course, there is.
But it's too late to say anything now.
"Lord Zhou, although Zuo also knows that Lord Zhou is wronged, but as a minister, Zuo must act according to orders, and I hope Lord Zhou will not blame him."
Zuo Qing hugged his fist.
Zhou Wenbing waved his hand when he heard this, as if he was already pessimistic about life and death, and said, "Lord Zuo is serious, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. However, before dying, Zhou hoped that Lord Zuo would be able to fulfill Zhou's wish."
"Your Majesty doesn't just want my Zhou Wenbing's life, I hope that Lord Zhou can bypass them once for the sake of my family's unknowing."
Hearing Zhou Wenbing's words, Zuo Qing's face was embarrassed, and this time His Majesty asked him to come and make it clear that no matter whether it was Zhou Wenbing or Zhou Wenbing's family, no one could be let go.
If he agreed to Zhou Wenbing, it would be a bully, and Zuo Qing, who has always been loyal to Li Deyi, could do such a thing.
Looking at Zuo Qing's embarrassed face, Zhou Wenbing's heart was full of desolation. Although the people of the Zhou family didn't know what happened back then, even he understood the truth that the grass was cut without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blew and gave birth again, so why didn't His Majesty understand this truth.
At this time, Zhou Wenbing, as if he had already died, slowly closed his eyes after glancing at Zhou Shangzhi on the ground.
Seeing this, although Zuo Qing couldn't bear it, because of His Majesty's order, he could only take the lives of Zhou Wenbing's father and son today.
The long knife was slowly unsheathed, and Zuo Qing walked slowly towards the two.
But just when Zuo Qing was about to go to Zhou Wenbing's father and son, a change suddenly happened!
