Under Zhu Houwei's brazen attack, the battle ended with a crushing speed.
The Brocade Guard and the others were dealing with the scene. After all, this was the official road and also represented the face of the Ming Dynasty!
Azure Dragon and White Tiger stood silently behind Zhu Houwei in case there were more assassins coming.
Although they were also extremely surprised at this moment, they did not open their mouths to question Zhu Houwei. As Embroidered Uniform Guards, they knew that some things were better not to know than to know!
People who knew too much generally did not live long.
Moreover, they were the trusted aides of the royal family. The more capable His Highness was, the happier they would be.
"There's no need to investigate who sent these killers. Even if you investigate, you won't be able to find out.”
Zhu Houwei's voice sounded in their ears, and Green Dragon and White Tiger's faces turned ugly.
After all, they had just left the city and had already encountered such an incident. These people were not weak. It was obvious that they had come prepared. Someone must have leaked the news.
"Yes, Your Highness." The two of them agreed. The Emperor had already said that they would listen to Zhu Houwei on this trip.
Seeing this situation.
Zhu Houwei spoke again,"Since this king has made a move in front of you, it means that this king believes in you two. Do you understand?"”
Hearing this.
Azure Dragon and White Tiger's bodies trembled as they hurriedly knelt down towards Zhu Houwei.
"Your Highness, you are aware that the two of us have no second thoughts.”
The strength that Zhu Houwei displayed just now was extremely terrifying. It far surpassed them, and his status was even higher than theirs.
They naturally understood what Zhu Houwei meant.
"We will definitely not spread this matter!" Azure Dragon hurriedly said.”
In Azure Dragon's heart, Zhu Houwei had not revealed his martial arts for so many years. He must have done it on purpose. He must not expose it!
Zhu Houwei looked at the two of them with a smile that was not a smile when he heard these words.
"Does that include Imperial Brother?"
These words stunned the Azure Dragon and White Tiger. Their expressions were awkward and they were conflicted. How should they answer?
If the answer was yes, then didn't that mean that the two of them were not sincerely working for the Emperor?
If he answered no, wouldn't he be slapping himself in the face again?
No matter how he answered, it seemed to be a dead end. His Highness really knew how to make things difficult for people.
Both of them were pale and their bodies were trembling slightly.
Looking at the two people's terrified expressions, Zhu Houwei did not want to tease them anymore. He smiled and said,""Don't worry, this king will explain to my royal brother.”
Upon hearing this, the Azure Dragon and White Tiger felt relieved. They slowly stood up, but their bodies were still unnatural.
"The cultivation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards is uneven. Some inherited their father's cultivation, while others were recruited. Most of them are not of the same level. As far as I know, there are not many martial arts techniques available in the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'library.”
"This trip to Jiangnan, this king has a way to strengthen the Embroidered Uniform Guards. It can also be considered as giving Imperial Brother more trump cards.”
This was one of Zhu Houwei's objectives for this trip. Telling these two people could be considered as giving them a reassurance.
The implication was that as long as the two of them were loyal, the benefits would not be less.
"Wangye, what do we need to do? The two of us will go through fire and water and die!”
Azure Dragon hurriedly expressed his loyalty. How could he not understand the meaning behind Zhu Houwei's words?
Zhu Houwei smiled.”
The moment these words came out, White Tiger instantly understood Zhu Houwei's thoughts!
"But it's a little difficult to snatch the martial arts of other sects, and…" White Tiger hurriedly said.
There was hesitation in his words.
Zhu Houwei naturally knew what he meant and did not wait for White Tiger to finish.
"Who said that this king is going to snatch it?"
This time, Azure Dragon and White Tiger were once again stunned.
What did his highness mean? He wanted the secret manual but didn't snatch it?
Then what should he do?
Regarding this, Zhu Houwei was too lazy to explain and only said,""When the time comes, you will know. Alright, after you are done, continue on your way.”
After saying that, Zhu Houwei returned to the carriage.
Seeing Zhu Houwei get on the carriage, Green Dragon and White Tiger looked at each other again and could only bury their doubts in their hearts.
However, they were also looking forward to it. After all, the martial arts displayed by His Highness was already very terrifying. Since His Highness said this, he must have his own way. They only needed to wait and see the result.
Not long after, the Brocade Guard finally cleared the official road, and Zhu Houwei and his party could set off again.
In the carriage, Jiang Yuyan was not too clear about the situation outside. When she saw Zhu Houwei come in, she quickly wiped his seat with her sleeve before letting him sit down.
"Wangye, let me massage your legs.”Jiang Yuyan came over and said. Although she did not know what was happening outside, she could guess that the problem had been solved by hearing the sound.
"Alright." Zhu Houwei nodded slightly.
……
At this moment, in the Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
"Reporting to Divine Overlord, all the people we sent out are dead.”
The secret agent stood behind Zhu Bujue and reported the assassination failure in a low voice.
Hearing the secret agent's words, Zhu Bujue was not surprised. It would be strange if the assassination attempt succeeded.
Zhu Houzhao must have sent guards for this younger brother of his, and they must be the kind with extraordinary skills. Zhu Houzhao loved this younger brother of his very much.
"Alright, you can leave first."
"Yes, sir!"
After the secret agent left, Zhu ignored his gaze and stared at the sky outside the window.
"What did Zhu Houzhao ask Zhu Houwei to do?”
A moment later, Zhu Buduan's gaze fell on the secret letter in his hand.
"Jiangnan…what exactly attracted Zhu Houzhao?”
After thinking for a while, Zhu Budian narrowed his eyes but could not get the answer he wanted.
However, Zhu Budian would not give up easily.
"This is getting more and more interesting. My two nephews have grown up.”
There was a hint of anticipation in Zhu Budian's expression. He had been in power for so many years, but this was the first time he felt an obstacle.
……
East Chamber.
Cao Zhengchun, who was pinching his Flower-pinching Finger, also received the news that Zhu Houwei, the Lord of Mountain Calming, was attacked by assassins.
"You really have guts, even daring to assassinate His Highness?”Although Cao Zhengchun said this, there was no trace of worry in his eyes.
On the contrary, his face revealed an interested expression as he pondered over the assassination.
"In my opinion, this Big Ming is probably too peaceful…"
The more chaotic the world was, the less panicked Cao Zhengchun was. The more chaotic the world was, the more opportunities there were for him.
"Humph, Zhu Budian, let me see your ability.”
