The bright moon was in the sky, and under the cover of night, a group of men in black took advantage of the night to move quickly.

They held short daggers in their hands, and all of them covered their faces with black scarves. The leader was tall and tall, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes. He looked behind him and nodded to the masked man behind.

Dozens of people dispersed, they only knew that Chen Hou was here, but they didn't know which dormitory or which tent Chen Hou slept in.

Therefore, we can only act separately.

The leading man in black walked to a tent with a dagger in his hand.

no entrance?

The man in black stood on the spot and fell into a momentary confusion, but he quickly walked around the tent twice and found a fold.

The man in black carefully stretched out his hand and touched it, and touched the joint.The man in black frowned. Even though he didn't know what it was or what it was called, he knew that it was very precise. He had never seen it, let alone heard of it.

It seemed that he couldn't open the tent and go in directly. The man in black aimed his knife at the tent, ready to cut a hole and open the door for the tent with his own hands.

The tip of the knife approached the tent, and something cold pressed against the back of his head.

The man in black froze - he thought it was Ge.

Then there was a beautiful voice, just listening to the voice, one would think that the person who can make such a voice must be a gentleman like the breeze and the moon, with a heart like a mountain.

It's just that the man in black was not in the mood to appreciate it. He collected himself, knowing that the other party had been on guard for a long time, and they were the ones who fell into the trap.

He scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Why don't you take a step forward?"

Ye Zhou was a little curious: "You are about to die, but you are still so calm?"

Ye Zhou raised Ling's hand, and he snapped his fingers crisply.

He originally thought that he would fight with real swords and guns at this moment, but when he grasped the opportunity, things became extremely simple.

It's not that the other party came to assassinate them, but they are inviting you into the urn.

In an instant, the lights came on, and the whole yard was as bright as day, and everyone in night clothes could not hide under the light.

Chen Hou, who was wearing a coat, arrived late. He did not sleep in the tent like Ye Zhou and the others, but stayed indoors under the protection of his personal guards.

When he walked down the steps, he almost lost his balance and fell, but just as he stood still, he was shocked by the scene in front of him——

Those "employees" who were chatting and laughing with him in the "supermarket" and seemed to be fooling around were all holding an iron bump in their hands at this moment, and even the most delicate woman pressed the iron bump against the assassin's head.

But this is not what shocked him the most, what shocked him the most were these beams of light.

This light illuminates the night as brightly as the day, and even the day may not have such a bright light, it hurts people's eyes.

Chen Hou couldn't help raising his hand to block the light, he trotted to Ye Zhou's side, but before he could speak, he saw the man in black who was held hostage by Ye Zhou.

Those were familiar eyebrows, Chen Hou's hands trembled slightly, he forced himself to calm down, and slowly walked in front of the man in black.

Yes, such eyebrows...

Chen Hou raised his hand and tore off the black scarf that the man in black used to hide his face.

A heroic man's face came into Chen Hou's eyes. He seemed to be choked by someone. After a few breaths, he asked tremblingly, "Why? Ah Ru, why? You are my brother!"

Ah Ru looked at his elder brother, and he sneered: "If you're not a sibling from the same mother, what kind of brother are you talking about?! Ridiculous!"

Chen Hou: "Since we are the same father, we are brothers!"

Ah Ru grinned and smiled: "You were born by Mrs. Hou, you were born to be a prince, I was born by a palace girl, and you were born to be a slave. Are you talking about brothers with me? Are you afraid that your father will come back from the underground and take you away?" Beat it into a pig's head?"

Ah Ru's smile disappeared quickly, and he said flatly: "It's useless to talk too much, since I'm already like this, please let Chen Hou look at me for the sake of the so-called brotherhood."

Chen Hou took a few deep breaths: "Who sent you here?"

Ah Ru's lips were tightly drawn into a straight line, and he raised his chin slightly. He was clearly a prisoner, but he made a look of disdain, as if even the monarch Chen Hou couldn't get into his eyes.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to ask any more." Ah Ru said, "Since I failed to succeed, I should die."

Ye Zhou was confused at the beginning, but now he understands it clearly.

In the Warring States period, slave society, children follow their mothers in a slave society. It is not that mothers are more expensive according to their children in feudal society, but children are more expensive according to their mothers.

The mother is Mrs. Hou, and the child is the prince.

The mother is a court lady, and the child will either become a slave after birth, or become a eunuch after a little growth.

And this Ah Ru in front of him is a slave. In order to preserve his body, his mother sent him out of the palace and became a slave of coolies. Later, Chen Hou found his brother of the same father and arranged for him to be with him—but Still a slave.

Ye Zhou thought about it for himself, and felt that if it was him, he might not be grateful because Chen Hou found him, but would hate him for it.

Or, you let me know nothing, I am a slave from birth to death, and I am doomed to live a hard life in this life.

Or, if you take me away, don't make me a slave, let me stand upright between heaven and earth.

But you tell me, you and I are the same father, and you are the king, I am a slave, you found me, took me away, and continued to make me a slave under the banner of brothers and sisters?

So this brother named Ah Ru did not perish in silence, but broke out in silence.

Ye Zhou put away his gun, he saw that Chen Hou didn't want to kill the assassin leader.

Sure enough, Chen Hou looked at Ah Ru, remained silent for a long time, and only said, "Come here, lock him up."

Ah Ru raised his head suddenly, and he smiled and asked Chen Hou: "Your Majesty, do you think I am the only one who doesn't want you to go back?! How many loyal ministers do you think you have in the court?! Everyone has selfishness! People are greedy!"

Chen Hou finally broke out. He roared angrily: "Enough! Ah Ru! How can I be sorry for you? You are a slave, but what can I do?! It is a precedent for Chen Guo to change from a slave to a commoner! I will feed and clothe you , Let you read and write, let you live as a slave no worse than a nobleman, how can I feel sorry for you?!"

Ah Ru also shouted: "Do I want it?! Have you asked me?! I would rather be that slave who doesn't know a single word! A slave who doesn't know anything, doesn't understand anything!"

"Reading?" Ah Ru laughed almost madly, "Dare to ask your majesty, what can I do by reading? If I read a hundred thousand volumes of military books, can I be a general? What do I do by reading? What to do?! Besides letting me know, I What else can I do besides being a slave for a day and being a slave for the rest of my life?!"

Chen Hou yelled: "Drag him down! Drag him down!"

Chen Yan stepped forward and led people to take Ah Ru down.

Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hou, who was bending over and clutching his chest for breath, and said calmly, "Chen Hou, everyone is gone, so don't pretend."

Chen Hou froze there, Ye Zhou walked over, he patted Chen Hou on the back very considerately, and said in a calm voice, "You want me to know that you are a benevolent gentleman, but I think that a benevolent gentleman is not a good monarch."

Chen Hou turned his head and looked into Ye Zhou's eyes.

Ye Zhou didn't look away either. He smiled and said, "It's not easy to be a gentleman. All virtues will eventually become your shackles. If you don't, don't pretend, or someone will find out that you are not that kind of person one day. Betrayal will come sooner than you think."

Ye Zhou patted Chen Hou on the shoulder: "Go to rest early, and tell me tomorrow if you have anything to say."

After speaking, Ye Zhou didn't look at Chen Hou again, he winked at Wu Yan, and Wu Yan pulled the trigger.

Just as the gunshots fell, the gunshots rang out one after another.

Except for Ah Ru, all the assassins fell to the ground, leaving no one alive.

When Ye Zhou unzipped the tent, he turned his head and looked at the pale Chen Hou: "I don't like people lying to me, Chen Hou should understand."

After speaking, Ye Zhou walked into the tent, and the employees also put away their guns and returned to their own tents. Only Zou Ming walked up to Chen Hou, and he whispered something in Chen Hou's ear.

Chen Houru was struck by lightning and fell to the ground after Zou Ming left. The soldiers hesitated and did not have time to help him.

Seeing Zou Ming walk into the tent where Ye Zhou was, Chen Houcai put one hand on the ground, waved away all the soldiers who came to help him, and slowly stood up.

His face was pale, and he walked up the steps in a panic.

As soon as Zou Ming entered the tent, he saw Ye Zhou losing his temper.

Ye Zhou doesn't lose his temper. He can't act like he smashed things and messed up. Even if he loses his temper, he just sits in a daze with a frown.

When others lose their temper, they are tormenting others, but he is only tormenting himself.

"You knew it a long time ago, and you're still so angry now?" Zou Ming took out a thermos and poured Ye Zhou a glass of warm water.

After Ye Zhou took it, he couldn't hold back a sneer: "I originally thought that to do business here, it's best to do business with the royal family. It's easy to get money. It just so happens that Chen Hou is the king of a country, so it's more convenient to do business. In the end, he became addicted to acting and took me for a fool."

"If he can act just right, I can turn a blind eye and close my eyes as if I didn't see it."

Ye Zhou took a sip of water and suppressed the discomfort in his chest: "As a result, he became more and more active in acting, why don't you invite him to play the role of White Lotus?"

Along the way, Ye Zhou had already figured out what kind of person Chen Hou was.

He is neither a gentleman nor a villain, but he is not an ordinary person either. He knows that the 2000 people in his hands are nothing.

What can 2000 people do?Break into Linzi?

He could only rely on Ye Zhou, but he was unwilling to tell the truth. Instead, he acted several times and let Ye Zhou do it himself.

He wanted benefits, but he didn't want to owe favors. In other words, he felt that he had nothing to repay Ye Zhou, so he simply refused to repay, and he wanted to find a reason for himself not to repay.

Along the way, Ye Zhou used a drone to explore the steep mountain roads, but Ye Zhou took out a long ladder to take out the difficult hurdles.

Even when encountering wild beasts, it was Zou Ming and Sarah who shot.

Although these things are indeed small things to them, even Sarah jumping into the city gate is easy for Sarah.

But the other party's sincere request and intentional use are two different things.

Ye Zhou could keep his eyes open before, but the scene he played against Ah Ru tonight was too much.

He almost wrote on the top of his head that he was a good person and had been deceived and bullied all the time.

Ye Zhou knew that once he believed it, he would be a "fairy" who could be deceived in Chen Hou's eyes.

The more Ye Zhou thought about it, the more angry he became: "Forget it, or we will part ways with him, and we will change countries."

In the Warring States period, there is no lack of a monarch for anything. If this one is gone, there will be another one. Scholars can change their loyalty to another monarch. Does he, an alien from outside, hang himself on a tree?

Zou Ming has no opinion on whether to do business in another country, his voice is very soft, he said it was a suggestion, more like coaxing: "He makes you unhappy, I will kill him later, how about it?"

Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming, he could tell from Zou Ming's eyes that he was not joking.

Ye Zhou: "I'm in a fit of anger right now, whether it's in a fit of anger or in the middle of the night, it's not suitable for me to make any decisions."

Ye Zhou still remembered that he had heard it before, don't make any decisions late at night, or you might regret it when you wake up the next day.

This kind of decision about human life or a country, Ye Zhou's rationality told him, no matter what, he had to wait until he woke up the next day to make it.

"Are all the assassins dead?" Ye Zhou asked.

Zou Ming nodded: "There are no survivors."

Ye Zhou suddenly smiled: "Zou Ming, I feel like I don't know myself a little bit."

In the past, he would never let Wu Yan and the others kill people.

But just now he knew very well that once he told Wu Yan and the others to stop and let these people who were going to assassinate them go, he would be regarded as weak and deceitful.

Kindness is so precious that it needs to be protected with layers of armor and sharp weapons.

Without armor and weapons, kindness is worthless garbage.

Zou Ming sat next to Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou sighed. He closed his eyes and said softly, "Let me lean."

Zou Ming was as immobile as a mountain, honestly acting as a backrest of human flesh, the muscles of his whole body were as hard as rocks.

Ye Zhou leaned on Zou Ming: "Actually, when I think about it now, what Chen Hou did can't be wrong. He doesn't know my details, so of course he can't tell me everything. Maybe trust him and tell him who I am and where I come from."

Zou Ming lowered his head and asked softly, "Then why are you angry?"

Ye Zhou thought for a while, didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly smiled: "It may be because his acting skills are too clumsy. Because of the clumsiness, I feel that he is trying to trick me into fooling me."

Zou Ming held his breath and said intently: "Then next..."

Ye Zhou still had his eyes closed. He raised his head and wanted to pat Zou Ming's shoulder, but he patted Zou Ming's cheek, but the pats were all over. Ye Zhou could only pretend nothing happened, cleared his throat and said, "Look at him tomorrow!" How to put it, I am satisfied with what I can say, then continue on the road.”

"If it's not possible..." Ye Zhou pondered for a moment, "Let's make the deal with someone else, isn't that Ah Ru still there?"

"Anyway, I've already arrived in Chen Country, who is it not a deal to make a deal with?"

Zou Ming hummed lightly, and said softly, "Where are you going, where am I?"

Ye Zhou was a little moved.

He has made many friends, but he has never had a friend like Zou Ming, who is reliable and always considers him.

He is taciturn, yet exceptionally reliable.

Ye Zhou: "I've already invested so much in him, it's still a bit troublesome to change him."

Ye Zhou sighed: "It depends."

Ye Zhou opened his eyes, just in time to break into Zou Ming's dark eyes, and he saw his own face in Zou Ming's pupils.

·

In the early morning of the next day, the sound of cock crowing broke the silence of the land.

Ye Zhou slowly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome face.

Maybe it's because they spent too long together, but Ye Zhou can't tell what Zou Ming looks like.

It's like he can't tell the beauty and ugliness of his parents, anyway, in his heart, his parents are the most beautiful parents in the world.

Ye Zhou's eyes fell on Zou Ming's lips. Zou Ming's lips are very thin, but the strange thing is that Zou Ming is not ruthless. He has a heartless face, but he is very loyal to his friends .

Maybe it was because Ye Zhou's gaze was too existential, Zou Ming also opened his eyes.

The two of them didn't cover their quilts last night, so they just slept head to head all night.

Ye Zhou: "Let's go, wash your face and brush your teeth."

After Ye Zhou finished speaking, he stood up.

It was not yet bright outside, probably because it was just spring, so it was still a bit cold. Ye Zhou shivered when he opened the tent, but before he could finish the shiver, he saw Chen kneeling in front of the tent. Hou.

Chen Hou only had a loincloth all over his body. He was shivering in the cold morning wind with a bundle of thorns on his back.

Ye Zhou was taken aback, Chen Hou raised his head, his cheeks were flushed from the cold, and when he saw Ye Zhou coming out, he raised his hands above his head and saluted Ye Zhou: "Cum! Ashamed!"

"I dare not ask the immortal to forgive me, but I ask the immortal to give me another chance to cum."

The king of a country pleads guilty in front of his tent.

After one night, Ye Zhou was already not so angry, but now seeing Chen Hou like this, he became a little less angry.

Chen Hou knelt in the middle of the night, his back had already been pierced by thorns, blood beads were secreted, blood was all over his back, it looked very scary.

The soldiers who got up in the morning also saw this scene, but they didn't dare to get close, they only dared to watch from a distance.

Ye Zhou asked him: "Chen Hou knows what he did wrong?"

Chen Hou smiled bitterly: "The immortal is right, I am not a gentleman, not even a villain, but my heart to strengthen the country is definitely not a lie!"

"I never thought of fooling the immortals. It's my villainous heart." Chen Hou said, "I'm afraid the immortals will see through and stop helping me."

He tried his best to play the role of a benevolent king, and wanted the immortal to help him protect him.

But that's not him, he's not that kind of person, so he can't pretend to be real or not, and in the end he can only lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot.

Ye Zhou didn't let Chen Hou get up, he asked softly: "Chen Hou, what kind of person are you?"

Chen Hou bit his lower lip, he couldn't hold it anymore, his body was staggered, but he still knelt on the spot: "Immortal, I am the fourth son of my late father."

He is the eldest son, but the eldest son may not necessarily inherit the position of monarch.

And his father was a weak and affectionate person, he was weak to his courtiers and affectionate to the harem.

If it is not the children born by wives that can be called sons, then Chen Guo does not know how many sons there are now.

From a young age, Chen Hou knew that his position as the crown prince was unstable, his brothers were eyeing him, and his mother was a weak woman with no ideas. He was living under deep conspiracy and tricks. Before that, he tried every means to keep his crown prince.

So he married a wife from the largest family, and wooed his brothers from the male clan, even slaves like Ah Ru.

It is precisely because Ah Ru is a slave that he trusts him more.

But before he learned how to be a gentleman, he became a king.

One moment he was still wallowing in conspiracy and trickery, and the next moment he was about to become a benevolent monarch.

Chen Hou looked up at Ye Zhou, with his mouth half-opened, showing an expression that seemed to be crying but not smiling, and said with difficulty: "Immortal, I still haven't learned how to be a gentleman."

Ye Zhou looked into Chen Hou's eyes for a while, and finally when Chen Hou was about to bow down to him again, he said, "Chen Hou, take off the thorns, come in and talk."

Ye Zhou walked back to the tent again, and said to Zou Ming, "Pour two cups of warm water over here."

Zou Ming nodded slightly, passing by Chen Hou who staggered into the tent.

When the two rubbed shoulders, Chen Hou couldn't help shivering.

Ye Zhou sat cross-legged on the floor, while Chen Hou sat on his knees.

The two sat face to face, and Ye Zhou spoke first: "Marquis Chen wants to return to Linzi, to return to his position as a marquis. You want me to help you, so don't I help you? Why do you have to do it over and over again? Come here with an innocent look?"

"Once again, again and again" Ye Zhou said the six words a bit emphatically.

Chen Hou smiled wryly and said: "Immortal, it's not that I can't, but I dare not."

"A person like me is really not worthy of being a king. A king must have the people in his heart, his family and the country in his heart, and he must be a gentleman." Chen Hou said, "I am afraid that the immortals will see that I am not a gentleman, and they will not help me."

Ye Zhou said softly, "No wonder."

No wonder he said to Chen Hou that a gentleman may not be a good king, Chen Hou would look at him like that.

Chen Hou said again: "The immortal saved my life. I should treat the immortal like my father. However, I am short-sighted and cowardly, so that the immortal thinks that I deliberately deceived me. It is my fault. No matter how the immortal punishes me, I will accept the punishment." .”

"I just ask the immortal to save my life and tell me to go back to Linzi and kill me after cleaning up the court."

Ye Zhou looked at Chen Hou, and he could tell that Chen Hou was not lying.

He came to plead guilty with the heart of death.

So Ye Zhou's last bit of anger dissipated, he smiled and said: "You don't have to do anything, Marquis Chen, if I wanted to kill you, why did I save you before?"

"No one is perfect, even a sage would not dare to say that he has no flaws. I hope Chen Hou will be honest with me in the future."

"If you can't be honest, you'd rather keep your mouth shut than lie."

Chen Hou knew that he had passed this test, he bowed his head again: "I dare not do this again, if I do this again, the immortal will immediately take my life, I have nothing to say."

Ye Zhou nodded: "Mr. Chen, go wash up, and ask someone to take care of the injury on his back."

He comforted him: "After this incident, I feel that the current Marquis Chen looks more like a monarch."

Chen Hou looked at him in astonishment.

Ye Zhou: "Warring States is not a time of peace. The king of a country has to look like a wolf. If you want to imitate a gentleman, everyone will be bullied. After wearing a gentleman's coat for a long time, it is not easy for you to take it off. thing."

Chen Hou: "I am taught."

Ye Zhou personally sent Chen Hou out, and watched Chen Yan put Chen Hou on a coat before going back again.

After this incident, all the natives, including Chen Hou, will know that he cannot be bullied.

Although it was a crooked hit, it was hit right anyway.

Until now, he has really established his prestige.

Ye Zhou sighed.

It's not easy to do business in troubled times.

Not only to pretend to be gods and ghosts, but also to show off force and establish prestige.

Thinking about it this way, it would be a bit of a loss to change another country.

It just depends on how much he can earn in the end.
