Sign a Lu Fengxian at the beginning

Seeing Cao Zhengchun appear, the faces of the figures on the high slope in the distance of the official road changed.

They didn't expect that the ghost-faced killer in black was about to kill the patron king Zhou Zhan, but at this critical moment, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.

Especially the aura exuded by Cheng Yaojin, who had come out halfway, made them all feel frightened even from a distance.

"This person should be the chief governor of Dongchang, 'Cao Zhengchun'."

"It's probably him. I didn't expect how quickly Dongchang responded and how quickly Cao Zhengchun came. It seems that the backer king Zhou Zhan deserves to die today!"

"Cao Zhengchun's momentum is very strong. Why don't we take action to meet the chief governor of Dongchang?"

"At the moment, it's not time for us to end. When the time comes, it won't be too late to meet the great governor of the East Factory again."

"Let's go! Once Cao Zhengchun arrives, there is no need for us to continue watching. Be careful that Cao Zhengchun notices him."

Several figures said, turned around and disappeared on the high slope.

…

And on the official road below.

Cao Zhengchun stood in the air and glanced coldly at the ghost-faced men in black: "You are so brave, you actually dare to attack and kill my patron king of the Great Zhou Dynasty under the eyes of my Dongchang."

"You are really looking for death."

Cao Zhengchun's eyes revealed Sen Han's murderous intent, and without saying a word, he directly attacked these black-clothed ghost-faced men.

Cao Zhengchun was a half-step celestial being with incredible fighting prowess. It was easy to deal with these black-clothed ghost-faced men, it was as easy as squeezing a few ants to death.

With a casual blow, those black-clothed ghost-faced men fell down in large pieces.

In just the blink of an eye, the man in black with the ghost face was killed by Cao Zhengchun.

No one slips through the net.

However, Cao Zhengchun did not kill all the ghost-faced men in black, but left a few alive.

After dealing with the ghost-faced man in black, Cao Zhengchun raised his eyes and looked at the high slope in the distance.

Just now, Cao Zhengchun felt keenly that there seemed to be some eyes watching him, and the source of the eyes was on the high slope in the distance.

But now, Cao Zhengchun can't feel anything anymore.

Cao Zhengchun frowned, looked away, and came to the backer king Zhou Zhan: "My lord, are you okay?"

Cao Zhengchun looked at his backer king Zhou Zhan and asked with concern.

The patron king, Zhou Zhan, was a veteran of three dynasties. If something happened to him, it would be troublesome.

The patron king, Zhou Zhan, stood up with a pale face; "I am fine, Eunuch Cao came in time, otherwise I would probably have to answer here today."

"I am here. Thank you Eunuch Cao for saving your life."

Backer King Zhou Zhan said gratefully to Cao Zhengchun.

Zhou Zhan knew that if Cao Zhengchun hadn't arrived in time, he, the patron king who supported the Great Zhou Dynasty, would have died at the hands of the man in black with a ghost face today.

"It's okay, Your Majesty, it's all a matter within the family."

"At the feet of the Emperor of Luoyang, and under the nose of our Dongchang, so many black-clad ghost-faced killers appeared, and the prince was attacked and killed. This can be regarded as our Dongchang's dereliction of duty."

"Your Majesty, just don't blame the Za family."

Cao Zhengchun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his backer king Zhou Zhan was fine.

"puff."

However, as soon as Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, the patron king Zhou Zhan spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground again.

"Your Majesty..."

When Cao Zhengchun saw this, he quickly helped his backer king Zhou Zhan.

Cao Zhengchun's expression changed slightly when he saw the black blood spurting out from his backer king Zhou Zhan.

Black blood?

This is obviously a symptom of poisoning.

Cao Zhengchun immediately tapped his patron Wang Zhou Zhan a few times and said to Pan Feng: "General Pan, the prince's injury is not serious. The Za family will take the prince back to Luoyang first."

"Leave this place to General Pan. The factory guards from the East Factory will come over later."

After saying that, Cao Zhengchun left first with his backer Wang Zhou Zhan.

…

Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Zhou Chen was sitting on the dragon throne with a somewhat ugly expression on his face.

Below stands Cao Zhengchun.

After Cao Zhengchun returned to Luoyang with his patron Wang Zhou Zhan, he sent his patron Zhou Zhan for treatment, and immediately came to Yangxin Hall to report the matter.

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "You mean, on the official road thirty miles outside Luoyang, the patron king was attacked and killed by a ghost-faced man in black?"

Cao Zhengchun nodded; "Yes, Your Majesty."

"After the old slave received the news, he rushed over immediately without having time to report it to His Majesty."

"It's just that the old slave went there a step too late. The patron king was seriously injured. The old slave has already asked the imperial doctor for treatment."

Cao Zhengchun said in report.

Luoyang Sili Nei is under the nose of Dongchang, where Dongchang's power is strongest.

Those ghost-faced men in black attacked the patron king Zhou Zhan thirty miles away from Luoyang. No matter how big the movement was, they couldn't hide it from Dongchang.

This is also the reason why Cao Zhengchun was able to rush to rescue the patron king Zhou Zhan in time.

"Asshole."

"These assassins actually dared to attack my patron king of Great Zhou under my nose. How brave they are."

"This is provoking me and provoking the imperial court."

Zhou Chen said with an ugly face.

Thirty miles outside Luoyang, the patron king was attacked by assassins.

Isn't this equivalent to the patron king Zhou Zhan being assassinated at his own doorstep?

These assassins are not provoking the majesty of the imperial court. What is provoking the majesty of the emperor Zhou Chen?

"Who are those men in black and with ghost faces?"

"How dare you assassinate my patron king of the Great Zhou Dynasty so blatantly and challenge the majesty of my court."

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked.

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I still don't know who those ghost-faced men in black are."

"However, the old slave can see that those black-clothed ghost-faced men are a group of well-trained killers."

"The old slaves have left a few alive. The factory guards have brought them back to the East Factory for interrogation. Their details should be known soon."

Cao Zhengchun left a few people alive just to pry open their mouths and find out their details.

Let's see who these black-clothed ghost-faced men are. They are so bold and dare to attack the patron king right under their noses.

"A trained killer?"

Zhou Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

If these ghost-faced men in black clothes are just killers, then why do these ghost-faced men in black clothes attack and kill the patron king for no reason?

"Find out all the details about these ghost-faced men in black for me, I don't care who they are."

"If they dare to attack and kill my patron king of the Great Zhou Dynasty and challenge the majesty of the imperial court, they will die."

"After they are found out, I will destroy them all."

Zhou Chen said coldly.

"Old slave obeys the order."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said.

"How is the injury of the patron king?"

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked again.

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and replied, "Reporting to your majesty, the patron king was seriously injured. He was injured by the hidden weapons of the ghost-faced killers in black and was poisoned..."

Cao Zhengchun explained the condition of the backer king’s injury.

After Zhou Chen heard this, he said sternly to Cao Zhengchun, "Tell the imperial physician to treat the patron king well and never let the patron king leave any roots of disease."

"If you need any medicinal materials, ask the imperial physician to get them from the royal treasury."

The patron king Zhou Zhan is now one of the only meritorious veterans of the royal family. Zhou Chen must not let his patron king Zhou Zhan have any problems.

As the saying goes, having an elder in a family is like having a treasure.

Although these veterans are a little stubborn, their effect is still considerable.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun bowed and said.

"Right."

Zhou Chen thought of something, looked at Cao Zhengchun and said, "About those ghost-faced men in black, you can go to the clan mansion and ask the Eight Wise Kings."

Zhou Chen suddenly remembered that the black-clad ghost-faced killer seemed to have been mentioned in the memorial that the Eighth Sage King had given him about Concubine Zhen's affairs over twenty years ago.

It's just that it wasn't explained in detail.

Zhou Chen didn't know if the two were related.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed with surprise. He didn't know why Zhou Chen asked him to go to the clan mansion to ask the Eight Wise Kings about the ghost-faced men in black.

Could it be that the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian knows the details of those men in black and with ghost faces?

However, Cao Zhengchun didn't think much about it anymore, but turned around and left Yangxin Hall and went directly to the Zongren Mansion.

…

Zongren Mansion.

Zhou Xian, the Eight Wise King, welcomed Cao Zhengchun into the lobby.

"Eunuch Cao, do you have any business coming to the clan's residence?"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked.

Previously, Cao Zhengchun came to the clan's mansion to ask for news from those who had joined the world. I wonder why Cao Zhengchun came to the clan's mansion this time?

Zhou Xian, the Eight Sages King, thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, the patron king was on his way back to Luoyang just now. He was attacked and killed by a group of ghost-faced men in black clothes thirty miles outside Luoyang."

"Your Majesty asked the Za family to come to the Zongren Mansion to ask the prince if he knows the details of those men in black with ghost faces?"

Cao Zhengchun did not hesitate and went straight to the point.

What?

The emperor's uncle was attacked and killed?

When the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian heard this, his expression immediately changed.

Nowadays, the talents of the royal family are withering. Once Zhou Rushan, the ancestor, dies, the only ones who can hold up the whole royal family are the patron king and the Eight Wise Kings.

If something happens to the patron king, then only he, the Eight Wise Kings, will be left alone.

"Eunuch Cao, is your uncle okay? Are you injured?"

Zhou Xian, the Eighth Sage King, asked anxiously.

Cao Zhengchun shook his head and said, "My lord, please rest assured. Although the patron king was seriously injured, his life is not in danger."

"Your Majesty has asked the imperial physician to treat you. Nothing will happen to the patron king," Cao Zhengchun said.

"That's good."

When the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian heard this, he felt relieved.

As long as the patron king is fine.

Zhou Xian, the Eight Sages King, really didn't expect that someone would dare to blatantly attack and kill the patron king thirty miles outside Luoyang City. He was really audacious.

"Eunuch Cao, did you just say that the person who attacked and killed the emperor's uncle was a man in black with a ghost face?"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian looked at Cao Zhengchun and asked for confirmation.

Cao Zhengchun nodded; "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Those who attacked and killed the patron king were all dressed in black, with ghost masks covering their faces."

"And judging from their actions, they are a group of well-trained killers."

Cao Zhengchun gave a general description of the ghost-faced men in black.

After hearing this, Zhou Xian, the Eight Sage King, frowned and said, "Eunuch Cao, if nothing else happens, these ghost-faced men in black should be from the Killer Building."

Killer building?

Cao Zhengchun raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, Cao Zhengchun seemed to have never heard of the existence of Killer Tower in the world of Dazhou.

Could it be that these people also come from ‘Tianshan’?

Zhou Xian, the Eight Sages King, nodded and said, "Yes, the 'Killer Tower' is a famous killer organization in the world more than 20 years ago. As long as you give money, they dare to kill anyone, even princes, nobles, and even emperors.

As long as the money is enough, they dare to kill."

"And once they take over the mission, they will do it until death."

"In other words, once they take over the assassination target, they will not stop until the target is killed."

"More than twenty years ago, whenever the words 'Killer Building' were mentioned, it would definitely make people blush, as it represented the existence of death."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian said with a look of reminiscence.

"Eunuch Cao must have been secretly investigating some things under orders! So Eunuch Cao should also know something about Concubine Zhen's affairs more than 20 years ago!"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian looked at Cao Zhengchun.

Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed: "What? Is this killer building related to what happened more than 20 years ago?"

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian nodded unequivocally; "To be precise, it's not about involvement, it's about Killer Lou being involved in that incident more than 20 years ago."

"More than twenty years ago, some people were inconvenient to take action, so they borrowed the killers from Killer House to take action. The Grand Master's Mansion was severely damaged. It was the masterpiece of Killer House."

"Later, after those people who joined the world left, the late emperor ordered that the 'Killer Tower' should be surrounded and suppressed at all costs."

"At that time, Patriarch Zhou Rushan also took action. Under the vigorous encirclement and suppression by the imperial court, the Killer Building was almost completely surrounded, and only a few people escaped."

"I didn't expect that after more than twenty years, these rats would reappear again and dare to attack the emperor's uncle."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian lost his usual gentleness and said with a stern look on his face.

Cao Zhengchun raised his eyebrows after hearing the words of the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian and said, "Oh, what do you mean, these black-clothed ghost-faced men are all killers of the 'Killer Building'?"

Zhou Xian, the Eighth Sage King, shook his head uncertainly; "Based on Eunuch Cao's description, I can only guess that the people in the Killer Building are all ghosts hiding their faces. This is the most obvious feature."

"However, there is no guarantee that these black-clothed and ghost-faced men must be from the 'Killer Tower' that was surrounded and suppressed more than 20 years ago."

"Uncle Huang is very familiar with the people in Killer House. Eunuch Cao can ask Uncle Huang."

The Eight Sages King Zhou Xian suggested.

More than twenty years ago, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian was still young and didn't know much about Killer Tower.

But the backer king Zhou Zhan personally participated in the siege of Killer Building more than 20 years ago.

In terms of familiarity with the people in the Killer Building, patron king Zhou Zhan is definitely the most familiar.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for informing me. The Za family will leave first."

Now that he had gotten the information he wanted from the Eight Wise King Zhou Xian, Cao Zhengchun would not stay any longer.

With the information provided by Zhou Xian, the Eight Sage King, Cao Zhengchun had a clue.

If these ghost-faced men in black are really from the Killer Building, then Cao Zhengchun can investigate based on the information provided by the Eight Sages Wang Zhouxian

Cao Zhengchun stood up to say goodbye and left the clan mansion.

Watching Cao Zhengchun's leaving figure, the Eight Sages King Zhou Xian's expression was extremely solemn.

"This killer building has revived and dared to attack the emperor's uncle blatantly. Could it be related to those people?"

Zhou Xian, the Eight Sages King, was guessing in his mind.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

As soon as those people entered the world, the people from the Killer Tower came out and attacked the patron king.

If it is really related to those people, it will be troublesome.

From Cao Zhengchun's description of the ghost-faced men in black, Eight Sages Wang Zhouxian has basically concluded that those ghost-faced men in black are the killers of Killer House.
