He Xie and Ding Baiying walked in tandem and blocked Zhou Tai in an alley.
"Lu Wenzhao!" Zhou Tai stared at He Xie in front of him and said every word through gritted teeth. He glanced back warily. Behind him, Ding Baiying was slowly drawing out a sword. The blade was so cold that his heart sank to the bottom.
He has never seen Ding Baiying take action, but he has seen Ding Baiying's apprentice Ding Tai take action. A mace weighing 36 kilograms was so powerful that forty guards in the palace besieged him. Even his body was stunned.
Not close!
If the apprentice's martial arts is like this, how can one imagine the master's level?
He Xie held the handle of the knife with one hand, and slowly stretched out a finger with the other hand.
"First, today you either die or you surrender. There is no other choice. If you talk nonsense or delay, we will send you on your way immediately. After all, intercepting the commander of the palace is not a trivial matter. We must do it quickly.
"
Zhou Tai's expression changed and his eyelids twitched.
He Xie stretched out a finger again: "Second, make a decision now. Whether you don't speak or I don't hear the word surrender, then I will think you want to die. I will count three times, one, two
,three……"
He Xie looked at Zhou Tai who was unresponsive, paused, and retracted his finger: "Do it!"
Ding Baiying suddenly kicked her foot, and she was already in the air. The blade flashed and struck Zhou Tai with a knife!
Zhou Tai shouted angrily, drew his sword and turned around to block.
when!
Sparks flew out, and his whole body was hit by a huge force, staggering backwards!
Ding Baiying was in mid-air, borrowing strength from the wall, and rushed towards Zhou Tai again.
Dang Dang Dang!
The two sides made two moves, and Zhou Tai barely managed to hold on and retreated continuously. At this moment, he suddenly felt the evil wind coming from behind him. He was frightened and rolled around like a lazy donkey to the wall without thinking.
Swish!
As soon as he raised his head, he saw two blades of light coming towards his head.
Zhou Tai's soul emerged and screamed: "Surrender!"
Buzz…
The two swords were about to stop three inches in front of his door, the swords clanking.
"I surrender!" Zhou Tai felt that his heart was about to jump into his throat. He threw away the knife in his hand with a "clang" and raised his hand decisively, fearing that it would be half a minute too late.
He Xie tilted his head and raised the corner of his mouth: "I thought Commander Zhou was so loyal and courageous that he wanted to die for the prince."
sacrifice...
Zhou Tai swallowed hard and looked at the blade close at hand, not daring to move.
He forced out a smile and said: "Lu, Mr. Lu is joking! There is... on the villain..."
He Xie shook the tip of the knife, and Zhou Tai immediately shut up.
"Does the prince want to kill me tonight?" he asked.
"Yes!" Zhou Tai told the truth without any hesitation, "When the Lord and the prince were talking in the palace, my brothers and I were outside the palace. We would rush in just waiting for the prince to give the order, but the prince never gave the order...
…”
He Xie confirmed his guess and remained slightly silent, but Ding Baiying on the side was shocked.
"Did he tell you why he suddenly let me go?" He Xie then asked.
Zhou Taidao: "It's because Wei Zhongxian and Miss Zhou, sir, have not settled these two matters yet..."
"Where are you going so late?" He Xie continued to ask before he could finish his words.
"The prince wants me to see Wei Wei..."
With the knife on his neck, Zhou Tai didn't dare to hide anything, so he told the whole story like he was pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
Finally, he begged: "The prince is mean and ungrateful, and the villain knows it in his heart. No matter whether this matter is successful or not, he will not let the villain live. Mr. Lu, the villain and you are also in the same boat!"
"You understand quite well," He Xie smiled half-heartedly, "If that's the case, then you still work for him?"
Zhou Tai smiled miserably and said: "What can I do? I have been in the prince's palace since I was a child, and my family is all in the prince's fief. If I don't do errands for him, my family will be implicated! If I am silenced by him afterwards, at least my family can get him.
Kind treatment.”
"It's a good thing to care about your family." He Xie suddenly smiled and put away the knife and helped Zhou Tai up, "But it's okay even if you don't care about your family. At least I can see that you still care about your own life."
Zhou Tai looked stagnant, a little at a loss.
"Where's the jade pendant I want you to give to Wei Zhongxian?" He Xie stretched out his hand.
Zhou Tai hurriedly took out the jade pendant from his waist and placed it on He Xie's palm.
He Xie looked at it under the moonlight and nodded to Ding Baiying.
Ding Baiying suddenly struck quickly and struck Zhou Tai on the neck with a palm knife. Zhou Tai's eyes suddenly became dazed and he fell to the side. Ding Baiying grabbed his collar with one hand and made him lean against the wall.
"Senior brother, we can't stay in the capital!" Ding Baiying said with a worried look on her face.
He Xie smiled: "No!"
He pointed at Zhou Tai: "With him here, don't you think we will be safer?"
"Senior brother, you mean..."
He Xie narrowed his eyes slightly and said quietly: "From today on, let Ding Chong and Ding Tai take turns guarding the palace, watching this person's every move!"
After a pause, he looked at Zhou Tai and said, "Take the person back first and cut off his escape route."
Half an hour later, Zhou Tai reappeared at the door of Prince Xin's Mansion with a heavy look on his face.
The guard guarding the door greeted him respectfully, but Zhou Tai was in a daze and went straight to the middle hall.
There were several craftsmen and guards busy in the middle hall, seemingly building walls. Zhou Tai frowned, pulled someone over and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?"
The man said: "The prince ordered us to block a tunnel here..."
Zhou Tai was silent for a moment and then said, "Where is the prince?"
"In the study."
Before entering the study, Zhou Tai took a deep breath, exhaled it slowly, then stepped forward, bowed at the door and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have come to return my life!"
"Come in."
Zhou Tai pushed open the door and entered.
After listening to Zhou Tai's narration, King Xin frowned deeply and looked at Zhou Tai who was kneeling on the ground, and remained silent for a long time.
"Did Wei Wei really say that?" King Xin was silent for a long time before he said quietly.
Zhou Tai did not dare to raise his head and kowtowed: "I dare not say anything false!"
boom!
King Xin couldn't help it anymore and started to slap the case, his eyes were extremely ferocious.
"What on earth does the old castrated dog want!" He roared in a low voice, his face turning red. "He accepted my king's token but didn't see me. What on earth does he want?"
Zhou Tai knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything, but in his mind he recalled the scene where Lu Wenzhao forced him to write down the "crimes", and his heart felt sad.
He knew that he had fallen into Lu Wenzhao's hands for the rest of his life.
In that indictment, he personally wrote obscene words that insulted the current emperor, the queen, King Xin and his late biological mother, and finally included his signature and signature.
Once that piece of paper is circulated, none of the nine Zhou Tai clans will be spared!
What a ruthless Lu Wenzhao!
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, He Xie said goodbye to Ding Baiying and went to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.
Before going out, Ding Baiying arranged his clothes like a wife sending her husband off to war, and whispered: "Brother, I have written down everything you said. Xiu'er and Xian'er will arrive in the afternoon, and I will ask them to go directly to the Yamen.
