Chapter 234

"Brother Zhou—"

The Heaven-Man level retainer who had not yet recovered his state turned to look at his colleague, wanting to speak, but saw a fist infinitely magnified in his vision.

Bang!

Flesh and blood splashed, and the headless corpse fell softly.

The other retainer wiped away the blood on his hand and remained silent.

He did not dare to bet on whether the other party, who was a righteous path expert before becoming a retainer, had the same thoughts as himself. If the other party was a person foolishly loyal to the Emperor, then he was an obstacle to his own escape.

Besides, treasures in the world belong to those with virtue!

The fewer people who know this method, the more beneficial it is to oneself!

An Ziyang secretly wiped the cold sweat from his palms on his clothes, secretly rejoicing.

"The Commander was right; this imperial court collects retainers without looking at their background at all; righteous path heroes and evil path demons are all used. Among them, the good and bad are mixed, and each has their own ulterior motives."

"As long as there is a chance to break free from the imperial court's secret method control, these people will absolutely not have the slightest hesitation and will immediately rebel against the imperial court!"

"Next..."

An Ziyang laughed loudly.

"Senior is decisive, this junior admires you!"

"Bring it here!"

Retainer Zhou beckoned.

"Alright, please take it."

An Ziyang took off his inner garment and raised his hand to throw it into Retainer Zhou's hand.

Retainer Zhou picked up the inner garment and examined it carefully for a moment, then suddenly lifted his head.

"This incantation is incomplete! Only half!"

"Where is the other half!?"

An Ziyang spread his hands.

"I don't know either; my Commander only gave me these."

"You!"

Retainer Zhou opened his mouth in surprise and anger.

He had already killed his colleague and factually rebelled against the imperial court, yet he only got half a set of incantations!?

He walked forward a few steps, clenched his fists, and wanted to punch this glib kid to death!

"Hey, hey, you'd better think it through."

An Ziyang retreated half a step and raised his hand to stop him.

"You have already killed your colleague and rebelled against the imperial court; are you sure you still want to kill me?"

"My Commander is not a vegetarian either. If you kill me, you will be an enemy of both the imperial court and my Commander, right?"

Retainer Zhou's footsteps slowed.

An Ziyang smiled.

"Even if you only know half the incantation, His Majesty will absolutely not let you go. Your actions just now were not wrong."

"But have you thought about it, if you knew the full incantation, would my Commander let you run away?"

"Things in this world are based on how much meat you can eat with how much ability you have. With your ability, you can only eat this half of the incantation, right?"

"At the very least, you have already obtained the hope of going further. It's always better than sleeping all day and having to risk your life when you wake up, right?"

Retainer Zhou stopped his footsteps.

An Ziyang continued.

"However, my Commander is much more generous than His Majesty."

An Ziyang actually walked slowly toward Retainer Zhou.

"My Commander has instructions; you definitely won't be able to take the full incantation today. But, you might not be able to take a few more lines."

"The more you get, the more convenient it will be for you to deduce in the future; who knows, you might be able to deduce the full version?"

Retainer Zhou turned his head and looked at An Ziyang, who had walked to his side.

"How do you say?"

An Ziyang lowered his voice.

"Look, we don't have any way to deal with these Imperial Guards and the retainers of the imperial court around us. How about this..."

An Ziyang whispered in his ear for a while, and finally said with a light laugh.

"Do you have any retainers you are on good terms with? You can pull them over together. It's easier to do things with more people!"

Retainer Zhou was already frowning.

After a while, he nodded, reached out to grab An Ziyang by the back of the neck, and shouted loudly at the Imperial Guards around him.

"This thief just used means to confuse my mind and killed Retainer Qi! Fortunately, I broke his means and am now fine!"

"You all wait here! I'm going to report to Eunuch Liu!"

Before the words were finished, he carried An Ziyang and flew toward the Imperial Mausoleum at high speed.

Just as the Imperial Guards breathed a sigh of relief, dense footsteps suddenly came from the dense forest nearby.

Swish, swish, swish!

Zhang Jingfeng, Zhou Yingxue, Gao Ling, Liu Baiyun, and Deng Baixuan, the experts of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, arrived together, along with the experts of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and killed their way toward the Imperial Guards!

Mei Qinghe drew her sword and rushed into the crowd, splashing a rain of blood with one sword!

Little Four hid in the dense forest, reciting incantations, and countless poisonous bugs either crawled out of the dense forest or flew and circled in the air, rushing toward the faces of the Imperial Guards!

"Commander, are you alright?"

Wang Hai killed his way to Zhu Zai's side and asked in a low voice.

"I'm fine." Zhu Zai shook his wrists.

"Have they all come?"

"Yes."

Wang Hai said.

"Last night, my Thousand... Commander went home and gave us all instructions. Since this morning, we have been hiding in this dense forest, just waiting for these retainers to be led away by An Ziyang."

"Not bad."

Zhu Zai nodded.

"What else did Li Miao tell you?"

Wang Hai frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Nothing, the Commander left in a hurry, only giving a few rough instructions before taking An Ziyang away."

"But, he has words for you."

!

"What words does he want you to bring to me?"

Zhu Zai asked.

"The Commander said... he cannot see the outcome of today either. Although he has some confidence, it is not a sure thing. Perhaps the Emperor will really win."

"You must not act on the premise that he can win."

Wang Hai gritted his teeth.

"He said, we should go if we can go, and escape if we can escape."

"If he can win, we will come back."

————————

Zhu Shoujing forced back the retainer in front of him with a blade, his figure retreated violently, but he could not support himself for a moment and could only use the broken blade to support himself on the ground, panting heavily.

The little eunuch said coldly.

"The Commander is indeed capable; even with heavy injuries, you can still trade for a retainer."

"But, you are already at the end of your rope, right?"

Zhu Shoujing no longer had the strength to answer and could only take advantage of this moment to regulate his breathing and recover his true energy.

"Kill."

The little eunuch said coldly.

Swish!

A retainer appeared in front of Zhu Shoujing in an instant and struck down with a punch!

Zhu Shoujing closed his eyes.

Bang!

The retainer's fist was suddenly blocked by an arm!

"Brother Zhou! You!"

The retainer exclaimed.

"Brother Zhu, look!"

Retainer Zhou suddenly threw out a piece of cloth.

The retainer took a look and suddenly lifted his head to look at Retainer Zhou.

"This is!?"

"No time to explain, just listen to me!"

Retainer Zhou looked at the several retainers who had already killed their way over and said urgently.

"This incantation, I only got one-third! The rest, we have to fight for ourselves!"

Those who can be on good terms with Retainer Zhou are naturally not kind people. This one surnamed Zhu was also a famous demon in the Jianghu before becoming a retainer, so he naturally did not lack the experience of "turning against" someone.

He immediately entered the state.

"How do you say?"

"Kill. Kill fifty Imperial Guards, and you can get half a sentence; kill a retainer, and you can get ten sentences!"

"Once we have saved up two-thirds, we will leave directly! We will slowly deduce the rest ourselves, and we will always be able to deduce the full version!"

Retainer Zhou laughed ferociously.

"What damn imperial court, today we will break these shackles!"

"Looking up to the sky and laughing, I go out the door; are we people of the wild grass!"

Retainer Zhu also laughed loudly.

"Good!"

"And pull a few more people in; I also have a few retainers I am on good terms with, who know the roots and the bottom, they will definitely not refuse!"

"It's just..."

Retainer Zhou understood and said in a low voice.

"Rest assured, Brother Zhu."

"I got one-third of this incantation and have already shown it to you. For those who join later, they can only see one-sixth!"

"You and I are brothers, how can we be the same as others!"

"Hahahahahaha—good!"
