These words not only caused Zhao Jing Zhong’s face to change slightly, but even Shen Lian and the others were filled with astonishment.
Chen Ran smiled faintly:
“Too many people will lead to leaks, the four of us will go after him and silently assassinate him, all we need to do is kill Wei Ni, bringing too many people will be inconvenient!”
Zhao Jing Zhong looked at Chen Ran deeply:
“Are you absolutely sure?”
Chen Ran said calmly:
“If I can’t bring back Wei Ni’s head, my subordinates will accept any punishment from you!”
“Good!”
Zhao Jing Zhong clapped his hands and laughed, standing up and saying:
“Then I will wait for your good news in the capital!”
After saying this, Zhao Jing Zhong got up and left the room.
After Zhao Jing Zhong left, Lu Jian Xing couldn’t help but say:
“Chen Baihu, why didn’t you let him send someone to help us!”
“There are many elite warriors by Wei Yan’s side, how can we succeed if there is a mistake?”
Chen Ran looked at Lu Jian Xing and the other three:
“Do you know that Zhao Jing Zhong was originally Wei Yan’s adopted son?”
Lu Jian Xing was stunned for a moment, then said:
“Of course I know!”
Jin Yi Chuan and Shen Lian also nodded.
Chen Ran continued:
“Then do you know that the Emperor was able to ascend the throne, and Wei Yan also helped behind the scenes?”
This time, Lu Jian Xing looked confused, only Shen Lian and Jin Yi Chuan nodded slowly after a moment of silence.
Shen Lian, after the events of Lu Wen Zhao and Ding Bai Ying, knew about the events before Chong Zhen’s ascension to the throne.
As Ding Bai Ying’s disciple, Jin Yi Chuan naturally also understood the secret behind this.
Chen Ran continued:
“Then do you think that the Emperor and Zhao Jing Zhong are willing to kill someone who helped them, they sent us four people to assassinate Wei Yan because we have no faction and no backing in the Northern Town Guard, and after we succeed, will they really give us a promotion?”
Shen Lian and the three fell silent, their faces becoming increasingly gloomy.
“Whether you thought of it or not, from the moment Zhao Jing Zhong found us, the four of us have already embarked on a path of no return!”
Chen Ran sighed and said:
“The so-called promotion and wealth are just empty promises!”
Lu Jian Xing, after hearing this, hurriedly said:
“Since you know all this, why don’t you ask him to send more people?”
Chen Ran couldn’t help but shake his head:
“Can you trust the people he sends?”
Lu Jian Xing was speechless immediately.
Yes!
The people that Zhao Jing Zhong sent, if they turned against us when we were killing Wei Zhong Xian, and then killed the four of us on the spot, creating a scene of a fierce battle and all of us dying together, who in the world would know!
Seeing that the three of them were silent and solemn, Chen Ran smiled and said:
“The four of us are brothers, as long as you trust me, I guarantee that we will all be able to escape from this, and in the end, we will all have a good ending!”
”And all you have to do is trust me and obey all my instructions!”
Hearing his words, Lu Jian Xing, Shen Lian and Jin Yi Chuan were all surprised, looking at him.
But from Chen Ran’s face, they all saw a kind of confidence and calmness.
Obviously, Chen Ran already had a plan for this matter, and he had already thought of the retreat and the future.
And all he wanted was for the three of them to be completely loyal to him, to completely trust him!
If it had been a few days ago, Shen Lian and Lu Jian Xing might have had doubts.
But these past few days, they had all witnessed the astonishing changes in Chen Ran.
First, he disregarded the world’s opinions and married Zhou Miao Tong, a woman from the brothel.
Then he directly took out one thousand taels of silver and became the youngest Baihu in the Jinyiwei.
Finally, he used a legendary family medicine to cure Jin Yi Chuan’s incurable disease for many years!
He seemed to have a magical ability to solve problems that ordinary people could not even imagine!
Jin Yi Chuan knelt down in front of Chen Ran:
“Brother Chen, my life is yours, you say a word, and I, Jin Yi Chuan, won’t frown even in water or fire!”
Shen Lian then also knelt down in front of Chen Ran:
“Shen Lian’s life is in your hands, Brother Chen!”
Chen Ran didn’t say anything, but just looked at Lu Jian Xing.
Lu Jian Xing stood there for a moment, then said solemnly:
“I, Lu Jian Xing, am a stubborn and obstinate person, I don’t know how to compromise in many places, but…”
He looked at Chen Ran, his eyes full of trust:
“I know that Brother Chen is no ordinary person, and the things you do are definitely not something that can be measured by ordinary standards!”
Saying this, he turned around and knelt down in front of Chen Ran:
“Lu Jian Xing’s life is also in your hands, Brother Chen, from now on, life and death, wealth and glory, will all be at your command!”
A smile appeared on Chen Ran’s face.
Among the three, Jin Yi Chuan received the most favor from Chen Ran, so he was the first to pledge his allegiance.
Shen Lian, although he was more cunning, was also a man of great loyalty, he had no second thoughts about his brothers.
Only Lu Jian Xing was the most stubborn and the hardest to subdue.
But now that he had knelt down and pledged his allegiance, he would become the most loyal one!
Because this kind of stubborn person, once they recognize a person, they will follow him for the rest of their lives!
Now, Chen Ran had completely subdued Shen Lian and the three brothers, which meant that the foundation for his journey to the top had been laid!
He smiled faintly, pulled the three of them up, and said:
“Since we have decided, then we will pack up and prepare to leave!”
“Yi Chuan, go prepare the equipment and weapons needed for this mission, sleeves, darts, poison, dry food, etc., everything is indispensable!”
“Yes!”
Jin Yi Chuan responded, turned around and walked out quickly.
“Shen Lian!”
Chen Ran looked at Shen Lian and Lu Jian Xing:
“You help Jian Xing secretly send your mother and my wife out of the city, take them to Tianjia Zhuang, a hundred miles south of the city, there is a manor there, and there are people there who are mine!”
“You settle them there first, and don’t let anyone discover you in the process!”
Lu Jian Xing was stunned:
“Brother Chen, is this necessary?”
Chen Ran smiled coldly:
“I said, from today onwards, you and I, brothers, will embark on a path of no return!”
“I need to absolutely guarantee that we will not have any worries on this path, and we will not have any weaknesses in the hands of our enemies!”
After listening to Chen Ran’s words, Lu Jian Xing and Shen Lian also looked serious, bowed to Chen Ran, and then quickly walked out of the Northern Town Guard.
When they arrived on the street, the two immediately split up, picking up Lu Jian Xing’s mother and Zhou Miao Tong from their homes, quietly sending them out of the city from the west gate, and then turning a corner to go to Tianjia Zhuang to the south.
When they arrived at Tianjia Zhuang, they found that there were actually twenty elite swordsmen wearing armor and carrying Qi Jia knives, they were so surprised that their faces changed.
These elite swordsmen, upon seeing Shen Lian and Lu Jian Xing, immediately went forward to greet them:
“We are all subordinates of Chen Baihu, we pay our respects to Shen Xiaoqi and Lu Zongqi!”
Shen Lian and the two immediately turned from surprise to joy,
They didn’t expect that Chen Ran actually had so many elite swordsmen under his command, no wonder he didn’t need Zhao Jing Zhong to send people to help him!
