Chapter 404: The Palace Changed

Chapter 404: Shock in the Palace

"So if we don't agree with each other, he beats me up."

"All these wounds on my body were scratched by them."

Wu Zhi was afraid that they would continue to ask questions, so he quickly called to Shi Qian, Wang Dingliu and others.

"Okay, brothers, don't play any more. Let's finish cleaning up and leave."

"Anyway, we are already done with the things here. There is no point in staying here any longer."

"You two brothers, just take care of things here. I'll go find Brother Zhao."

After Wu Zhi finished speaking, he left the room.

Wang Dingliu and Shi Qian were left alone, looking at each other.

He looked dumbfounded.

When Wu Zhi, Shi Qian, Wang Dingliu, Zhao Liangju, and hundreds of imperial guards returned to the capital, the sky had completely darkened.

Originally, Wu Zhi planned to go directly to his residence to rest after returning to Beijing.

But Zhao Liangju, no matter what, would drag Wu Zhi back to the palace to report to the officials.

What else can I say, if he was the only one to go back and report back to the officials, then if the officials asked about Wu Zhi and he was not there, they would inevitably be dissatisfied.

After Wu Zhi heard this, he was still a little reluctant. After all, he was quite tired after being bumpy on the road for several days.

But what can he do at this time?

So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Zhao Liangju into the palace.

As for Wang Dingliu and Shi Qian, Wu Zhi stayed at their residence.

When the carriage they were riding in slowly drove towards the palace, Wu Zhi, who was sitting in the sedan, had already begun to doze off.

It wasn't until Zhao Liangju, who was sitting opposite, pushed him a few times that Wu Zhi rubbed his dry eyes and glanced outside the sedan.

At the same time, he also sighed.

"Oh, I was born to work hard."

"After I return to the official family, I don't know how late it will be. If I leave the palace at that time, it will inevitably be a lot of trouble."

As soon as Wu Zhi finished speaking, Zhao Liangju picked up the conversation.

He was seen looking at Wu Zhi with a puzzled expression, and his words were also full of doubts.

"Eunuch Wu, didn't the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare a room for you?"

Wu Zhi glanced at Zhao Liangju in surprise.

"Do I still have that?"

Zhao Liangju looked at Wu Zhi with a confused expression, so he explained to him patiently and carefully.

It turns out that all eunuchs who work in the palace have their own fixed residence.

Although Wu Zhi had his own house outside the palace before becoming a eunuch.

But after he became a eunuch, the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would still prepare a residence for him in the palace.

Due to Wu Zhi's higher rank and special status.

Therefore, when the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared a residence for him, they would not be like ordinary young eunuchs, crowded together with five or six fellow eunuchs.

A private residence will definitely be prepared for him.

At the same time, for the convenience of serving the queen, his residence is most likely located not far from Kunning Palace.

As for the specific location, Wu Zhi doesn’t have to look for it one by one.

All you need to do is stop a young eunuch and ask him.

When Wu Zhi learned this from Zhao Liangju, he felt a little more comforted.

At least by then, if he was too lazy to leave the palace, he could sleep in the palace nearby.

When nothing happens the next day, it's not too late to return to the residence outside the palace.

Wu Zhi originally thought that after he and Zhao Liangju briefly reported what happened at Zhujiazhuang to Zhao Ji, they could go back to rest.

However, some unexpected events disrupted Wu Zhi's plan.

Wu Zhi and Zhao Liangju had just stopped their carriage, and several guards responsible for guarding the city gate trotted to Zhao Liangju's side.

"Commander Zhao, something big happened to Commander Zhao. There are assassins in the palace!"

"At this moment, except for a few of us, the rest of the brothers have all gone to hunt down the assassin."

When Zhao Liangju suddenly heard the news, his expression immediately changed, and then he rushed into the palace like the wind.

And Wu Zhi, after being stunned for a few seconds, followed closely behind.

Along the way, Wu Zhi and Zhao Liangju also saw many seriously injured imperial guards.

At the same time, I also learned from their mouths the direction in which those assassins were fleeing desperately.

When the two of them hurried over, the guards had already gained the upper hand in the fight with the assassin.

In a short time, twenty or thirty assassins were tightly surrounded.

But this group of assassins is quite strange.

Half of them were wearing white suits and the other half were wearing black night clothes.

This kind of alternative dress completely confused Wu Zhi.

I couldn't help but wonder to myself, aren't these people in the same group?

At this time, a female voice came out from among the assassins.

"Sir, there are more and more dog-legged guards. It seems we have to implement another plan."

"Otherwise, the whole army will definitely be annihilated!"

I saw a thin assassin wearing night clothes. After hurriedly responding, he slashed several times and forced the guard in front of him to retreat.

Then he jumped up to the roof.

Then he performed Qing Gong, and within a few breaths, he disappeared.

Logically speaking, at this time, it was not Wu Zhi's turn to take action.

Because his job is not to hunt down assassins.

But at this time, if he chooses to stand by and watch, although he can avoid being harmed, it will undoubtedly give those ministers of the DPRK and China an excuse to criticize Wu Zhi.

When the court goes to court the next day, the ministers headed by Cai Jing will definitely say that he clearly has the ability to lead the army, the strategy of going into battle to kill the enemy, and the courage to kill the enemy chief.

But when the palace encountered a crisis, he chose to stand by and watch.

Those with ulterior motives should be punished.

Just thinking about these things in his mind, Wu Zhi felt like his head was as big as a bucket.

So, after a brief hesitation, he shouted at Zhao Liangju, who was holding a simple knife and still fighting for his life with the group of men in black:

"Brother Zhao, you take care of the surrounded assassins here, and I'll go after that person!"

After saying that, he ran away all the way.

The direction in which the man in black was running was a bit unfamiliar to Wu Zhi.

Because he has never been there since he entered the palace.

At this time, the night wind was very strong.

It even blew Wu Zhi so much that he couldn't even open his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Zhi lost track of the man in black.

Just when Wu Zhi was secretly annoyed and lost the person...

An unusually crisp scream rekindled hope in Wu Zhi's heart.

"Ah! Help!"
