Chapter 899: Chicken Dinner
Zhou You asked his second son, who was born out of wedlock, to become the disciple of Master Ku Tang, a pharmacist in the imperial guards.

A grand ceremony of paying homage to the master was held for this purpose, and guests such as Lian Feihong were invited to witness it.

After this incident, both sons made arrangements. He canceled his leave and returned to the Jitian Palace to work. Nothing around him had changed.

During this period, Concubine Mei also summoned him once. Her attitude did not change at all. She asked about the progress of his seal script learning, etc.

The working environment has become comfortable and there is plenty of time to do your own things.

According to the observations of his colleagues and subordinates, Zhou You's biggest change is that he began to study the use of halberd on a daily basis. He even borrowed weapons from the golden halberd guards to practice with.

Unlike a spear, a halberd has not only straight stabbing but also sideways striking moves, and a little change can lead to endless routines.

Zhou Suanni saw all of this and often reported his observations to Zhou, reporting every three to five days, rain or shine.

"I heard that when he went home on his day off, he didn't spend time with his wives and concubines, but instead went to practice with the Bei Xuan Zhu among his personal guards, and asked him to attack with the Zhenbei Spear."

Zhou Suanni said this and laughed, "It seems that our Zhou Qianxiao has become a trapped beast. He is eager to break through Zhen Beige's shadow, but how can it be so easy?"

He spoke with a gloating tone, and only Zhonglang Zhou's people understood his feelings.

With a ceiling in place and no hope for the future, Zhou Daqian's current situation is not Zhonglang Zhou, but better than Zhonglang Zhou!

The Imperial Guard General Zhou asked in a muffled voice, "Are you happy?"

"You've been coming here too often recently, and there's been a lot of complaints from people out there. I'm going to give you a task."

"If the Heart Demon Ring grows stronger, it will inevitably threaten the peace of the capital. You must capture a Heart Demon Ring's magic soldier slave and interrogate him to find out the truth."

He paused, and tapped the table twice with his black gloves. "I'll give you twenty days."

Zhou Suanni agreed with a bitter face, thinking that he definitely couldn't sell himself, could he...

In this turmoil, the Heart Demon Ring came to the fore. The Crazy Demon Knife that wreaked havoc in the three northwestern states and the sudden appearance of the Remnant Demon Hook all died under his calculations, and their flesh and blood fed the oriole behind the scenes.

This beast possesses three magic weapons and is suspected to have already been promoted to a master. He is also good at hiding, making him an unprecedented strong enemy.

Although there was no disturbance after the war, in fact, all parties were working secretly to formulate plans against the Demon Heart Ring.

Zhou Suanni was assigned tasks, and the demon soldiers from other forces were also assigned similar tasks.

Zhu Xunyou, one of the Wuchang killers, is of an average level. He has participated in hundreds of missions and is ranked in the middle.

He is a veteran killer with rich experience and skilled methods. He is more than capable of doing better than the inferiors and is the backbone of the industry.

However, it is still not as good as the previous one and is somewhat lacking.

Not to mention top killers like Lie She Wangchuan, even a rising star like Peacock can surpass him.

This type of people is widely present in any organization and is called "mediocre old employees." Once large-scale layoffs occur, they are the first "group" to be optimized.

As luck would have it, this time he received the task of 'tracking down the Heart Demon Ring'.

If we replace you with a hot-blooded newcomer, he will definitely question whether we are a killer organization and when did we change to being detectives?

But as an old employee, Zhu Xunyou knows that less is worse than more, so if there is a task, he will take it and deal with it later whether he can complete it or not.

If the superiors are a little lenient, you can take advantage of the situation. If the deadline is for execution, you have to grit your teeth and get by.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability, but he doesn't have the motivation. Even if he is a talented person, he has been worn down by the long years of suffering and has become mediocre. Not everyone can become a top killer. There are more than a million corpses piled up at the foot of Li She Wangchuan!
"If you want to complete the mission, you have to sell a companion!"

Well, Zhu Xunyou is also one of the magic soldier slaves of the Heart Demon Ring, so it is the right person to assign the task to him.

Well, there are quite a few Demon Soldier Slaves facing the same situation, especially those in Dijing who are suffering the most. They are more or less greatly affected.

Just when they were suffering, the call for help came from the host of the demon soldiers.

It was still the familiar circular world, a dark chaotic space. The huge ring was suspended like an isolated island. Everyone stood on the smooth curved surface, looking around and trying to find the 'master' of this place.

"Everyone is here!"

The voice of the host of the Heart Demon Ring sounded, and the hearts of everyone present twitched violently twice.

Sure enough, after the host absorbed the Crazy Demon Knife and the Cruel Demon Hook, he was reborn and is no longer the same as before. He must be at the Grandmaster level now, and all the people present combined may not be able to defeat him.

Some demon slave soldiers who had hidden their strength, such as Zhou Suanni and Wulinbei, originally wanted to accumulate strength to overthrow him, but now they could only give up the idea.

"You are right. My strength has greatly improved. You are no match for me!"

Zhou You said casually, "If I want, I can wipe you all out in a snap of my fingers, and then capture another group of people to be my slave soldiers."

Hearing these words, all the slave soldiers' hair stood on end, and they felt the murderous aura like a steel knife pressing against the skin of their limbs.

They had reason to believe that the Heart Demon Ring was not just something he said casually, that he could really do it, and given his character, once he had the idea, he would be able to put it into practice.

The maid Wuer's mind went blank, she thought she was going to die, well, she didn't have to explain to the queen this time!

Yin Hen, who was standing by, knelt down at his feet and said fiercely, "Master, please make your move. When we bloodbath the capital in the future, don't let go of any merchant, big or small."

"Get up, kid, you took it seriously, I was just kidding you!"

Zhou You laughed and said, "You should all know that I am no longer the same as I was before. You must also improve, otherwise you will not be worthy of the power of the Heart Demon Ring. From now on, the battle for the supreme demon soldiers has begun."

"Supreme Demon Soldier, not only are the hosts fighting each other, you Demon Soldier Slaves must also participate!"

"I think some of you have discovered that the slaves of different demonic soldiers have a tendency to grow stronger by defeating and devouring each other."

"If you stick to your old ways, you will never be able to defeat me. But if you go out and look for other demon slaves to kill and devour to grow stronger, you can even replace me in the future."

"Everyone, the great era is coming. No one can escape from the raging tide. Do you want to stand out or just drift with the tide? Please decide for yourself!"

The surrounding demon soldiers and slaves were all silent...

"Okay, I will announce the areas and ranges where other demon soldiers appear, and you can choose where to go!"

"Let me warn you first. Don't think you can stay out of trouble by hiding. Once other companions become strong enough to suppress you, they can easily find you and kill you and use you as food."

Zhou You smiled evilly, "Guess, do the demon soldiers have any secret method to find and locate their own kind?"

Hearing these words, the demon slave soldiers looked at him as if they saw a demon. It was so scary.

You've never played a chicken game, have you? It's not that there is no shrinking circle phase, but it hasn't come yet. If you dare to resist passively and swim without fighting, sooner or later you will be overturned by the waves.
