However, they didn't expect Chu Xi to take the initiative and wipe out the previous decline with such a fast speed that they could hardly see his figure.

Darkness and rain are a great help to Chu Xi.

Before these people in front of Chu Xi could figure out the situation, more than half of them were killed by Chu Xi.

The six men could not last more than three moves against Chu Xi, and Chu Xi suffered some minor injuries.

When the rest of the people reacted and attacked Chu Xi together, several arrows suddenly shot towards them from behind.

Several people looked down at their chests pierced by arrows. Chu Er and the other four in the bush did not hold back at all and kept shooting arrows until several people... fell down completely.

"Master." Chu Er stepped forward and supported the exhausted Chu Xi, "Shall we go back to Yunzhou City first?"

"No, Chu Er, I remember my cousin was exiled to Zhuozhou last year, so we changed our route to Zhuozhou." Chu Xi put away his sword and hid his slightly trembling hands under his sleeves.

The journey to Zhuozhou is a little more roundabout than that to Yizhou, and it takes four hours by fast horse, so many people think that Chu Xi will definitely not go the long way instead of the near one.

What Chu Xi has to do now is to catch them off guard.

There will definitely be ambushes on the road to Yizhou. If we kill these people, there will be others.

There are several princes in the capital, who knows if all of them will send people over!

"We can't go to Yizhou anymore."

"Master, should we inform His Royal Highness Prince Yan?"

"No need. It's not necessarily safe around Your Highness." Chu Xi remembered that the system said that pirated books were no different from the originals, and the plagiarists were too lazy to even change the punctuation marks.

If we judge from the original novel, there was a spy lurking close to Zhou Yichen, who was not uncovered until Chu Jiang was killed in the pirated version she watched.

Chu Er had no doubt about Chu Xi's words, "Yes."

in the palace.

"Your Highness, news has come back from Yizhou." The eunuch took the note off the pigeon's leg and hurriedly handed it to a man in gorgeous clothes.

"How is it?" The man in fancy clothes sat down, holding a wine glass in his hand, shaking it slowly.

The eunuch read the news in the letter and said cautiously, "It failed. The Nalan clan said that this time they sent out only the elites of the clan, but Prince Chu still managed to break through with his men."

"You're still an elite like this? Does the Nalan family no longer intend to work for me?" The man in fancy clothes sneered and threw the wine glass in his hand directly to the ground.

"Since they can't even kill an idle prince who has done nothing and has no reputation, the Nalan family is becoming even more useless."

The eunuch advised cautiously, "Your Highness, this time the Nalan clan sent more than fifty people, perhaps they really tried their best. The martial arts of that Chu prince is even more powerful than expected."

In fact, although the man in fancy clothes said he was disgusted, he knew in his heart that Nalan was his trump card and he would never treat him perfunctorily.

The Nalan family did not do things perfunctorily, which made the situation even more difficult. Their failure to do so meant that Chu Jiang was even more powerful than they had expected.

"Hmph, no matter how powerful he is, he is still the Third Brother's man. Chu Qibai... If he is willing to be used by me, I may be able to spare his life."

The man in the fancy clothes had a haze in his eyes, and his expression was unpredictable. "No wonder my father said that Prince Chu had the style of his grandfather. Now it seems that he really has some ability."

The more talented someone is, the more they should not be kept. Keeping such a person will only provide greater help to Zhou Yichen.

"You said the Seventh Prince attacked Chu Jiang?" Zhou Jialiang curled his lips with interest, "Dozens of assassins were dispatched, but Chu Jiang actually managed to break through?"

"Yes, that's what the news from over there said." The attendant answered respectfully.

"This Chu Jiang is more powerful than I thought. The people of the Nalan clan are not so easy to deal with. His martial arts skills can be ranked among the top ten among the younger generation."

"Master, why did the Seventh Prince attack Prince Chu? Was it to prevent Prince Chu from raising medicinal materials from Yizhou to save the people of Yunzhou?"

"Yes, but not entirely. Chu Jiang is just a seed that has not yet fully grown. If he can be killed before he grows up, it will reduce a major threat to the Seventh Prince."

Zhou Jialiang leaned lazily on the couch, muttering a few words of Chu Jiang. It was unknown what happy things he thought of, so his expression became more mysterious.

"If Prince Chu dies, wouldn't His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan be missing a great helper? Will this affect the cooperation between Young Master and His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan?"

The follower looked worried.

Zhou Jialiang smiled, "Of course it won't have any impact. Let's cooperate. If this one doesn't work, we can switch to another one. There are plenty of princes in the capital."

If the Prince of Yan were really allowed to become emperor, it might seem good for him in the short term, but it might not be a good thing in the long run.

Emperor Tianwu seemed somewhat wise in his early years, but he became increasingly incompetent in recent years. He even attempted to achieve immortality and favored treacherous ministers.

If this continues, the capital city will inevitably be in chaos. The more chaotic the capital city is, the less likely it will be to intimidate the princes in the fiefdoms.

Zhou Jialiang has never been a good man. Since these young men from noble families in the capital have often laughed at him, what does it have to do with him whether the capital is in chaos or not?

"The Prince of Yan has his own ambitions. If he ascends the throne, he will hinder the princes of the fiefdoms in the future, which will not be good for us. It would be best if a young emperor could take the throne."

The younger the emperor is, the less say he has, and the more he dares not act rashly in hindering the prince.

"Master is very considerate, it is I who am stupid."

Zhou Jialiang glanced at the follower who was confessing his crime with an indifferent expression. He said it was okay, but he had inappropriate thoughts in his mind.

It's a pity that there is no second Chu Jiang in the world, otherwise it would be nice to have him under his command and use him for his own purposes.

"Keep an eye on their movements and continue to report any developments."

If Chu Jiang is seriously injured this time, maybe he can still take advantage of the situation.

Kidnap a doctor from the Miao area and cast a poison on him.

Let Chu Jiang forget about the past and serve him obediently.

Not bad.

Zhou Jialiang smiled in a rare good mood, but his followers felt their scalps tingling and they quickly left the room with their heads down.

The last time the young master laughed like this was when... he killed two spies sent by the second young master.

Anyway, if the young master smiles, it means someone is going to be in trouble.

Chu Xi, who was far away in Yunzhou, had no idea that he was being targeted by several groups of people.

The most troublesome one is Zhou Jialiang, who is also obsessed with her memory.

Chu Er's arrow wound had stained most of his clothes red, and the other three people were not in much better condition. She could only ask them all to retreat back to Yunzhou and go to Zhuozhou alone.

Chu Er disagreed, so Chu Xi knocked him out quickly and handed him to the other three people, asking them to take Chu Er back.

By the way, she told Zhou Yichen that she would find a way to sneak into Zhuozhou to collect medicinal materials. If His Highness had other ways, it would be best to prepare in advance.
