Suddenly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Just as he was about to make a joke, a strong armored guard rushed in from the door.
"Report!"
"The guards of the imperial army have captured all the assassins, and they are now waiting outside the door to be punished!"
The slight smile on Zhao Ji's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look of anger.
"Bring them all here, I want to ask who hates me so much and insists on killing me!"
After a while, armored guards escorted more than ten people in from outside.
They were all dressed in black and white, and their faces were all covered.
Zhao Ji first looked at the group of masked assassins kneeling on the ground, then turned his head and asked the armored guard.
"Are all the assassins here?"
The armored guards were trembling with fear.
"Reporting to the officials, more than ten assassins have died, and almost all the remaining ones are here."
"But, due to our negligence, one person escaped and is still missing!"
Angry Zhao Ji took action.
"big eater!"
"You caught him and you can still let him run away?"
"I'll give you one last chance. Come to me at this time tomorrow with your head raised."
"If it doesn't belong to the assassin, it belongs to you!"
The armored guards looked ashen as dead.
"Yes, thank you."
"ah!"
"boom!"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred in the Hall of Supreme Harmony!
The assassins who were originally tied tightly with ropes actually used their own internal strength to break the ropes at this time.
Then, relying only on their fleshy palms, they snatched the knives from the hands of the armored guards in two or two strokes.
Afterwards, he fought with the armored guards above the main hall.
In fact, Wu Zhi did not want to actively participate in this life-and-death struggle so close to him.
After all, his identity at this time was just a eunuch.
And the work of capturing assassins and maintaining public order in the palace has nothing to do with him.
Those are what Zhao Liangju and the others should do.
But Wu Zhi was able to lead troops, fight in battles, and have excellent martial arts. Not only everyone in the civil and military circles knew about it, but even Zhao Ji knew it in detail.
If he doesn't help at this time.
Then afterwards, once Zhao Ji raises the curtain, Wu Zhi will definitely not be able to escape.
To be honest, he really didn't want to take action at the moment.
Because he also hated Zhao Ji terribly.
After all, he made great contributions to that old boy last time.
But the other party, instead of rewarding him with gold, silver and high-ranking officials, responded by pushing him into a cleansing room.
If he hadn't been clever, he would have turned into a real father-in-law by now.
After a brief battle between heaven and man, Wu Zhi thought of a compromise.
That means standing firmly in front of Zhao Fujin.
Afterwards, if Zhao Ji asked about it, he would also say that he did not join the battle circle because he wanted to protect Zhao Fujin.
The assassins in the Hall of Supreme Harmony have always wanted to reach the Jade Steps, but there are too many armored guards in front of them.
After killing one level, another level was surrounded.
At this moment, an assassin dressed in white fixed his gaze on Zhao Fujin, who was standing by the jade steps.
Suddenly he used Qinggong and rushed to her side.
Wu Zhi took a look, is this okay?
I can't help but think.
If you want to kill the old guy above, that's fine. Why touch her?
How dare you do this to such a cute little girl?
What a pack of animals!
When Wu Zhi thought of this, he immediately punched the opponent's chest with both fists.
The assassin in white obviously didn't expect that the eunuch in front of him was also a kung fu master.
Feeling surprised, he took a few steps back.
He wanted to wait until he regained his footing before attacking him again.
Wu Zhi also took this opportunity to reach out and pick up a knife from the ground. Then he kicked the ground with both feet and ran out.
The knife was swung out and struck the man directly in the chest.
After a few ping-pong-pong moves, Wu Zhi made a smart move to guide the way, knocking the knife out of the assassin's hand.
Then he quickly stepped forward and put a knife to the assassin's neck.
During the following period, Wu Zhi kept Zhao Fujin closely behind him until the armored guards captured all the assassins.
Originally, Zhao Ji wanted to find out who was behind the assassins.
But when he saw the stumps and broken arms here, he immediately lost his mood.
So he assigned this task to the governor of Kaifeng.
He was ordered to investigate the person behind the scenes, and after the investigation was completed, the final results would be reported to him.
When the assassination incident came to an end, it was already late at night.
Originally, Zhao Ji wanted Zhao Liangju to escort Zhao Fujin back.
But at this time, he noticed Wu Zhi, who had been standing next to Zhao Fujin.
So he changed his mind and asked Wu Zhi to send Zhao Fujin back.
Perhaps in Zhao Ji's opinion, Wu Zhi at this time is more suitable to complete this task than Zhao Liangju.
After all, that's where the identity lies.
…
On the road.
Zhao Fujin looked at Wu Zhi and smiled gratefully.
"Thank you very much for what happened today."
"It is also a blessing for me to help Emperor Maode escape from danger."
Zhao Fujin suddenly flashed two beautiful big eyes, with a slightly unhappy expression on his face.
"Oh, I feel so awkward hearing you talk like that."
"Otherwise, when no one is around, just call me Fu Jin, okay?"
Wu Zhi was really not used to Zhao Fujin's slightly familiar character.
But he can also detect the other party's goodwill from some details.
So Wu Zhi smiled and nodded at Zhao Fujin.
When Wu Zhi finished delivering Zhao Fujin, a faint white fish belly appeared on the horizon.
And at this time, he still doesn't know where his residence is in the palace?
It wasn't until he asked several fellow eunuchs in succession that he managed to find a 'unique' place.
It was a wooden house covering an area of about 40 square meters.
In front of its door, there are two peach trees several meters high.
When he pushed open the slightly old wooden door, a faint musty smell hit his nostrils.
If Wu Zhi wasn't really sleepy at this moment, he really wouldn't want to stay here all night.
I don’t know how many years no one has lived here.
Wu Zhi broke several spider webs in succession before entering the inner room.
The furnishings inside the house are also extremely simple.
A single bed, a square table for eating and drinking tea, and several dusty chairs.
At first, Wu Zhi wanted to fall on the bed and sleep.
But he didn't know if it was because he watched too many horror movies in his previous life, or what.
I'm afraid that some colorful spiders or scorpions will suddenly appear on that bed.
So I took advantage of the faint light outside and searched for candles in the house.
