Siheyuan: Don't mess with me

Chuxiu Palace!

Concubine Wan Gui sat on the phoenix chair and looked at Yuhuatian coldly.

"Don't worry, Madam, I will go out and make arrangements now to ensure that the guard will not survive today!"

Of course Yuhuatian knew why she was angry.

As a noble concubine, Wan Guifei was the most beautiful in the Sixth Palace and was extremely favored by the emperor.

Her father, Wanbaoshan, was also a general in the imperial court, guarding the Yanmen area with a hundred thousand troops.

She has always dreamed of becoming a queen.

But it is a pity that the queen was personally selected by the saint. Moreover, the saint hid in the Longshou Palace and delegated power to become the Longde Emperor.

But in fact, most of the affairs in the court took place in the Longshou Palace. Especially the officials of the three departments of Li, Gong and Bing, in front of His Majesty, acted like a saw-mouthed gourd without saying a word.

But after the court meeting, they would go to Longshou Palace to see the saint and obey the edict.

Of course, being the Longde Emperor is not without power. At the very least, some of the Qingliu from the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment and Lantai Temple have joined him.

Moreover, the West Factory was also controlled by the leader.

In terms of proportion, the saints accounted for 80% of the power in the court, and the emperor accounted for 20%.

When the saint was still in his prime, Wan Guifei could not become the queen no matter how favored she was.

Today, when the treasure ship capsized, I rescued Concubine Wan Gui.

She must have thought in her heart that the queen would drown in the water and she could ascend the queen's throne.

But who would have expected that Zhou Cong would come out halfway and save the queen.

It's no wonder that Concubine Wan Gui hated her so much that she wanted to kill her.

"Go now! I want his head!"

Seeing Yu Huatian being so considerate, Wan Guifei's expression softened a lot.

"yes!"

Yuhuatian bowed his head and exited Chuxiu Palace, heading straight to the West Factory.

In the evening, Zhou Cong left the palace.

The reason why I'm here so late is because I went to see Wanyu Tower.

Although he saved Wanyu Lou, he did not take credit for it and was arrogant. Instead, he took the initiative and gave another thousand taels of silver notes.

Wan Yulou saved the emperor this time, and his status may not have been promoted, but the emperor's trust in him has definitely increased.

I don't usually burn incense, I just have to worry about something.

Zhou Cong would not do such a thing.

He must give enough gifts on a regular basis so that someone will help him when something happens.

"I should be able to take over my new position tomorrow, and Wang Xifeng's matter should come to an end!"

After leaving the palace and riding home, Zhou Cong planned the future.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

But at this moment, there was a roaring sound in the sky.

Then, three huge arrows shot at him.

"City Guarding Giant Crossbow!"

Each of these three big arrows is as thick as an arm. There is a faint blue light above the arrow tip, which is obviously coated with poison that can seal the throat when blood is seen.

Arrows like this can only be used when defending a city. Who would have thought that they would be used to assassinate himself.

Zhou Cong reached out and patted the horse's back, making Zhou Cong want to jump up.

But as soon as he moved, a finger pointed at his waist very abruptly.

Zhifeng was dark, and when Zhou Cong noticed it, he was already less than an inch away from him.

"King Kong is indestructible!"

Without hesitation, Zhou Cong activated the magical power of Vajra Indestructibility.

"puff!"

The finger force touched Zhou Cong's waist without any tricks, it was extremely strong.

"Good work!"

Zhou Cong only felt that the force was so fierce that it was even far stronger than a heavy hammer.

At this moment, his Vajra Indestructible Magic Power even showed signs of collapse.

"Qiang Qiang Qiang..."

Three huge crossbow arrows also hit Zhou Cong's body at this time.

"Um!"

With a muffled groan, Zhou Cong's body was even lifted up by the crossbow arrows.

It hit the shop on one side hard again.

At this time, no matter how powerful the Vajra Indestructible Magic Power is, it cannot be maintained and will immediately collapse.

Before Zhou Cong could stand up, the figure had flashed in front of him again like lightning, pointing towards his throat.

As soon as he raised his hand, his mind held the other person's finger.

Zhou Cong also pointed out with a powerful King Kong.

But to his surprise, the attacker's martial arts skills were extremely high.

Zhou Cong's telekinesis was only able to tangle with the opponent's finger for a moment before he broke through and touched his finger again.

As soon as the internal forces of both parties became entangled, Zhou Cong discovered something strange.

Because an extremely strong suction force actually came from the other party's body, sucking in the inner energy of his fingertips.

"The great method of absorbing energy, Zhu ignored it!"

Zhou Cong knows this technique, but has never used it before.

How could he still not know until now that the other party is the iron-courage god Hou Zhuwu?

Presumably, he heard that he used the indestructible magic power when he saved Emperor Longde, so he came to trouble him.

“Heavenly fragrant cardamom!”

Because he lost the opportunity and knew that his internal strength was not as good as Zhu Wuwu's, it was impossible to compete with him using the power-absorbing method.

Now that the indestructible Vajra has been shattered, if Zhu Wuwu is entangled.

If he was hit by the giant crossbow of the city guard, Zhou Cong would have no chance of escaping. He blurted out a name.

"What?"

Zhu Wuli was stunned when he heard this, and his hands subconsciously relaxed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Three powerful Vajra kicks in a row hit Zhu Wuwu's body. With a movement of his mind, Zhou Cong floated to a giant tree in the air.

Looking down, I saw that Zhu was wearing gray clothes and a black scarf covering his face.

It looked like he was no different from the flower-picking thieves he had faced a few days ago.

"Damn it, I originally thought that only people like me would do sneak attacks, but I didn't expect someone like you, Zhu Yiyi, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would do this!"

Zhou Cong cursed in his heart!

"Kill the thief!"

At this time, another group of people rushed out of a store not far away, shouting loudly and rushing towards this side.

At the same time, Zhou Cong could clearly see from Zhou Cong's perspective that three huge three-bow crossbows were turning around and aiming at him.

"You take care of yourself!"

With a sneer, Zhu ignored and floated away.

If he hadn't seen the group of men in black rushing in his direction, Zhou Cong would have almost thought that these were Zhu Wuli's men!

"You are looking for death. If I can't defeat Zhu Tiedan, can I still defeat you?"

Furious and unable to calm down, Zhou Cong used his mental power to float to the crossbow on the three-bow bed, and struck with a wave of his palm.

Using the power-absorbing technique, it was like chopping up melons and vegetables, killing all the people.

Then, it fell to the ground again.

"Xichang will not let you go!"

When the last boss was killed, the opponent said something like this.

Zhou Cong pulled off the other party's face covering and saw his appearance clearly.

The bald Scar is the third gear under Zhong Yu Huatian of Dragon Gate Flying Armor.

As for what to call it?

Zhou Cong really can't remember it.

"It shouldn't be that Yuhuatian and Zhu Wuli are colluding, but Zhu Wuli is using Yuhuatian to kill him for a sneak attack!"

Zhou Cong analyzed secretly in his heart.

Zhou Cong had already thought about Yuhuatian's intention to assassinate him.

If he saved the queen, he would be tantamount to offending Concubine Wan Gui. Of course she would kill him.

Zhu Wuli's character would never collude with Yuhuatian, otherwise he would not have retreated just now, causing Xichang to suffer such a huge loss.

"This method of absorbing energy is really good. It absorbs internal energy for sixty or seventy years! It's a pity..."

Examining himself, Zhou Cong realized the great method of absorbing energy.

Sixty or seventy years of internal strength seems to be a lot.

However, after adding up, they discovered that their sixty or seventy years of internal strength was only worth two or three years to me.

"It seems that internal strength cannot increase linearly! Otherwise, if Zhu Wuwang killed so many masters of the eight major sects, his internal strength would have reached thousands of years, and he would be able to ascend in a day!"

Zhou Congdao no longer pursued the calculation method of this matter.

Now my horse can no longer be ridden. When I was blown away just now, its body was crushed and its internal organs were ruptured and flew away.

The Feiyu suit he wore had not been warmed for more than two hours when it was shattered into pieces by the indestructible power of the Vajra.

Fortunately, as long as the emperor rewards this thing, you can buy a new one at the Shangyi Prison at any time, so it won't be too heartbreaking.

When he returned home, he saw Qin Zhong. When he saw Zhou Cong coming back, he quickly lowered his head and said, "Brother-in-law!"

"Qin Zhong, I am busy with state affairs, and I have nothing better to do than spend time with your sister!"

Looking up at his brother-in-law, Zhou Cong lectured.

"Yes, I understand!"

Qin Zhong glanced at Zhou Cong and quickly lowered his head.

That day, in Shuntian Mansion, he was frightened to death by the scene of Zhou Cong killing people like mowing grass. He only regarded Zhou Cong as a murderous demon and how could he dare to talk to him.

"Husband!"

At this time, Qin Keqing also walked out of the house. Seeing Zhou Cong wearing a flying fish suit, he screamed with joy.

"Today, Your Majesty fell into the water, and I saved him!"

Zhou Cong took her jade hand.

Seeing her look so surprised was a testament to the fact that after being assassinated, he went back to the Clothes Supervisor to buy a few sets of clothes and put them on.

"Husband, are you feeling well?"

Qin Keqing asked hurriedly.

"If there's anything going on, you'll know in the evening!"

Hooking Qin Keqing's waist, Zhou Cong said with a smile.

Qin Keqing's words made Qin Keqing blush, especially when he saw that Qin Zhong was still nearby, his eyes flowing, and he glanced at Zhou Cong angrily.

"elder sister!"

Qin Zhong'er heard that her sister was only talking privately to Zhou Cong and not minding her own business, so she quickly reminded her.

"Husband! I have a favor to ask of you!"

Qin Keqing originally thought about talking about Qin Zhong in the evening, but she didn't expect him to be so impatient. He took a step back and bowed Yingying, "You also know that Qin Zhong is my only younger brother. My father has always hoped that he can be in the official career."

I have achieved something. I think that the private school in Rongguofu is not bad, and Zhong Er gets along well with his classmates there. I would like to ask my husband if I can invite..."

"Qin Zhong, do you want to go back to the Jia family to study?"

Qin Keqing only said this, and Zhou Cong understood and turned to look at Qin Zhong.

"Please ask my brother-in-law for help!"

Although Qin Zhong was afraid of Zhou Cong, at this moment, he had to bravely bow to him.

"I've actually been thinking about your affairs too? How about I ask an old Jinshi to teach you alone in a few days?"

Although he looked down on the timid Qin Zhong, Zhou Cong had to look out for Qin Keqing's face and said directly.

"So good!"

Qin Keqing was overjoyed and looked at Zhou Cong gratefully.

"Brother-in-law, it's good to find a Jinshi teacher! But I still want to go to the Jia family to study. I think it's more suitable for me! My knowledge is not enough to be a Jinshi teacher! If I can't keep up with his lessons, I just want to be ruined.

My reputation..."

To Qin Keqing's surprise, what she thought was a great thing, Qin Zhong showed resistance and even gave an answer.

"hehe!"

Zhou Cong sneered and looked at Qin Zhong carefully, "This guy said it nicely. He's not afraid of not keeping up with his studies, or of ruining his reputation. In fact, he just wants to go to the Jia family to study and play with the big-faced baby. I guess the two

This is when people are in love and passionate, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious to ask Qin Keqing for help!"

"That's fine! I will take you to Rongguo Mansion tomorrow and ask Jia Rong to come forward and take you to the Jia family to learn!"

A good comrade is one who sees things through but does not tell them.

If it weren't for Qin Keqing's face, Zhou Cong wouldn't care about Qin Zhong?

Then, he thought of the scene in the Iron Kan Temple in the book Dream of Red Mansions, and thought that Jia Zhen's body would have to be moved there in a few days.

At that time, he would just use his means to catch Qin Zhong and Jia Dabao.

Firstly, it makes Qin Keqing appreciate him even more, and secondly, it also allows Jia Dabao to show his true colors to Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others, and know that he is not a good match.

Are you coming again? Just in case Wang Xifeng is really trying to gain power in Tiekan Temple, he can be caught.

Thinking of killing three birds with one stone, Zhou Cong gave Qin Zhong a clear answer.

"The saint has a decree, and the second-grade guard Zhou Cong is waiting with a sword to receive the decree!"

Just when Zhou Cong was about to send his servants to take Qin Zhong home, a high-pitched voice rang out.

Then, the door was pushed open, and a eunuch wearing a bright red brocade robe walked in, escorted by four brocade guards.

"Your Majesty Zhou Cong accepts the order!"

Zhou Cong knew that although the saint was hidden in the Dragon Head Palace, he firmly controlled all affairs in the court. He dared not be negligent, so he hurriedly took a step forward and knelt down to receive the imperial edict.

And everyone in the courtyard, whether it was Qin Keqing, Qin Zhong, or even Liu Er who was cleaning the courtyard, also knelt down behind Zhou Cong.

"The sage decreed that Zhou Cong, the second-rank imperial guard with a sword and promoted to deputy Qianhu of the Imperial Guard, is to investigate the overthrow of Yuban in Taiye Lake. The required manpower can be mobilized by himself, and the departments and departments must not stop him!"

The eunuch in red raised his fist towards the south and said in a sharp voice.

Then, he held a jade plaque in both hands and handed it to Zhou Cong, "Master Zhou, the sage said! Just go and check. Don't be afraid even if you find the prince!"

"Thank you saint for the reward!"

Zhou Cong took the jade plaque with both hands.

But this is actually a sign made of jade inlaid with gold. On the back of the sign is a crane under a pine tree, and on the front is a golden dragon.

After taking a look, he quickly put the sign away and took out a one thousand tael silver note from his pocket, "I'll invite you to tea, may I ask you your name!"

"Our Xia Shouzhong!"

Seeing that it was a thousand taels of silver note, the father-in-law looked very satisfied. No wonder Wan Yulou said that Zhou Cong was a discerning person, and that the hard work he had taken to come here was not in vain.

"It turns out to be Eunuch Xia! Please forgive Zhou Cong for his blindness and blindness to gold and jade! It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me in the future!"

Hearing that the other party was Xia Shouzhong, Zhou Cong hurriedly took out another 10,000 tael silver note, added it and stuffed it in.

The main reason for making up for the gift again was that Xia Shouzhong held a high position. He was the Bingbi eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the second most powerful person in the palace.

"Master Zhou, you are too polite!"

After receiving another 10,000-tael silver note, Xia Shouzhong looked at Zhou Cong with a gentle look in his eyes and put the money away with a squeaking smile.

He clasped his fist towards Zhou Cong, turned around and left with the four Jin Yiwei.

On the way out, he knocked lightly on the door.
