After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight

Zhou Yichen and Tang Yuhuai broke out, and their original goal was to go straight to Prince Yan's Mansion, but Zhou Yichen asked Tang Yuhuai to change the route halfway and go to Tang's house.

This group of people came for him or his subordinates. Whether he returned to Prince Yan's Mansion or went to Marquis Zhongyong's Mansion, he would inevitably encounter an ambush on the way.

Since they are so bold as to carry out the assassination in the capital, they will certainly not design an ambush with many loopholes, which would lead to one thing after another.

Zhou Jinye joined forces with the people of Western Chu, and their manpower was definitely enough to be divided into several ambushes.

Zhou Yichen realized this and immediately asked Tang Yuhuai to change the route from the way to Prince Yan's Mansion to the Tang family, which almost spanned half of the capital city.

Your Majesty's fear of the Prince of Yan is obvious. He has gone to great lengths to prevent him from having the chance to ascend the throne, even choosing a residence in a remote place close to the outskirts of the city.

Not to mention being close to the homes of nobles, even those slightly higher up, such as officials of the fourth rank and above, rarely choose such a remote location.

Your Majesty does not want the Prince of Yan to join hands with his grandfather and take over his grandfather's network of contacts, and he does not want to see any ministers with real military power around the Prince of Yan.

Therefore, the location chosen by Prince Yan and the Tang family spanned most of the capital. This was His Majesty's intention to use the Tang family, but it also deeply hurt his son's heart.

"Your Highness, it's too far to go back to my home. I'm afraid you will have to pass through some troublesome places on the way. I'm worried that there will be other people who will do something bad to you." Tang Yuhuai had no intention of taking sides, but he also didn't want to see Zhou Yichen die.

If there was anyone in the Zhou Dynasty who gave him a glimmer of hope, it was only the King of Yan who could turn the tide.

In other words, if necessary, he himself can die, but the King of Yan... must not die.

"Do you have any other options?" Tang Yuhuai was not afraid of trouble, he was worried that it was too far and accidents might happen along the way.

There is more than one prince in the capital who wish the Prince of Yan dead. The eldest prince also returned to the capital today. After the rotation of guard, he is also a strong contender for the succession to the throne.

Zhou Yichen frowned. He had several scratches on his body during the previous breakout. The longer time passed, the more blood would be lost from the wounds. He felt that if another cup of tea passed, he would not be able to wake up.

"...No."

Looking around the capital, there aren't many people he can trust. It should be said that the only person he can trust is Qi Bai, and Qi Bai is still...

"Then let's go to my house." Tang Yuhuai sighed, "I don't know why these people from Western Chu would bother with assassination. They are really bold. They dare to do this in the capital."

He really couldn't understand why Xi Chu was willing to send so many people to participate in the assassination. Even if they had reached an agreement with a prince, they could just get away with it.

After all, the number of people in a diplomatic mission usually does not exceed one thousand, but this time they have at least a hundred people. If they never come back, their future situation will be in danger.

This is the Great Zhou Kingdom. If the King of Yan retaliates and kills their guards until only one or two hundred of them are left, there will be thousands of people left, and the journey will be tens of thousands of miles. They will be in danger.

"No." Zhou Yichen suddenly changed his mind and held his injured arm tightly.

"Go to the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple and knock on their doors. Make a big fuss about my assassination."

"Your Highness?" Tang Yuhuai didn't understand why Prince Yan suddenly made such a decision.

"I always thought those people were coming for me, but now that you said that, I suddenly understand." Zhou Yichen's pupils dilated slightly, "They are not coming for me, but to kill Qi Bai."

Tang Yuhuai reacted quickly and understood immediately, "The one who lost in the arena?"

No way, a prince would hold such a grudge?

"Qi Bai is in danger." Zhou Yichen's eyes turned cold, "I must seek help from outside forces to save him. Go to the Dali Temple to call for help."

In front of Qi Bai, he never called himself the King, but he only addressed himself to Qi Bai.

"The Dali Temple is under the control of the Eighth Prince. Will those officials listen to you?" Tang Yuhuai was wise and appeared foolish, and he had a clear understanding of the situation in the court.

The person in charge of the Dali Temple is said to be a disciple of the Yao family. He is stubborn and conceited, and thinks he is smart. He usually has a bad reputation. It is said that two people who were wrongly killed were killed by hitting the pillars in the Dali Temple's Examination Hall.

It is enough to see how much this Dali Temple Minister does not listen to others on a daily basis.

"This is the capital. If he doesn't listen, I don't mind making this matter even bigger. Under the feet of the emperor, if an assassin wants to kill the prince, where is the emperor's dignity?"

Zhou Yichen had said this before, but it was sarcasm at the time, but now it is... hatred.

He hated himself for reacting too slowly, hated his father who was high above him and always guessed people's minds, and even more hated those so-called brothers who kept pressing on without regard for human lives.

"Walk."

"Your Highness, I will take you to the Rong family. This place is only three blocks away from the Rong family. Rong Qingzhu will definitely protect you. You must be bandaged in time for your current condition. I will take care of the rest."

Tang Yuhuai persuaded Zhou Yichen.

"No, I will go in person. Only when you see me like this, the charge of assassination will be established." Zhou Yichen waved his hand, motioning Tang Yuhuai to come closer, and he whispered a few words.

At this point, he had no choice but to trust Tang Yuhuai, and Qi Bai... must not get into any trouble.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely convey your words." Tang Yuhuai bowed. At this moment he truly realized why the King of Yan was so firmly supported by Qi Bai.

Qi Bai chose a good monarch, and the King of Yan really cared about Qi Bai's safety. A monarch who cares about the lives of his subjects and ministers would not disregard human lives and only care about his own enjoyment.

Chu Xi flew from one roof to the other with superb lightness skills.

She was still able to handle the assassins coming from all directions with ease.

On the way to escape, she had killed more than a dozen people, and coupled with the previous hard battle, she almost forgot how many people she had killed.

She doesn't like killing people...

But there was always someone forcing her to pick up the knife and kill.

Chu Xi stabbed again the two Xichu people who suddenly pounced on her, knocking them off the roof, and her... speed of leaving was also slowed down, as someone caught up with her.

He blocked Chu Xi's way out, and drew the sword in his hand almost instantly. Every move he made was filled with a fierce aura, but Chu Xi didn't sense any strong murderous intent.

What a strange person he was. He seemed to want to stop Chu Xi, but didn't want to kill him. As a fellow Western Chu person, he should have received the same order, but his actions did not show any murderous intent towards Chu Xi.

"You are the Xichu man who was in the ring before."

Qi Minsong had a black cloth covering his face. Chu Xi's words revealed his identity, which slowed down his attack. Chu Xi quickly found his flaw and pierced his arm with a sword.

If he hadn't dodged quickly, his hand would have been pierced.

"You are here to kill me too?" Chu Xi raised an eyebrow. "You Xichu people are really interesting. If you can't beat them, you kill them secretly. Even if you are not a gentleman, you can't be a villain, right?"
