The world of film and television begins from childhood

Five years ago, Empress Zhaojie was murdered by Emperor An, his son and ministers. Not only that, it was also revealed that Emperor An was colluding with Bei Pan.

Although it is not known whether this matter is true or not, after it spread, it immediately caused heated discussions throughout the city because the nature of these two incidents was really too serious.

Empress Zhaojie has always had a good reputation in Anguo. When she was framed and went crazy, many people felt sorry for her. Now that the truth has been exposed, it has naturally attracted the sympathy and anger of countless people.

The truth behind Empress Zhaojie's death has been a hot topic, but it is less discussed than Emperor An's collusion with Bei Pan.

Beipan has been the enemy of the Central Plains for generations, especially Anguo, which is adjacent to Beipan. Whenever Beipan invades the Central Plains, it will inevitably pass through Anguo. Anguo has suffered the most looting and massacres, so the degree of hatred of the people of Anguo towards Beipan is definitely ranked first among the nine countries in the Central Plains.

So when the people of Andu learned that Emperor An was actually colluding with Bei Pan, they did not dare to say anything openly, but they all began to question his majesty in their hearts.

Inside the palace, Emperor An kicked over the table and roared in anger.

"Who is it? Who is it?"

This was one of the biggest taboos that Andy had covered up. In the beginning, he even killed his first wife, the queen, for this matter. But now it was revealed and spread throughout Andu overnight. This was definitely well prepared.

To be able to spread the news in such a short time, this person's influence in Andu must be extraordinary. He thought of countless suspects, but he couldn't be sure.

Those who knew about this matter at the time had basically been executed by him, and those who were still alive would never leak it out.

The ones who spread the news were naturally Zhou Chen and his team. There were still some spies in the Andu branch of Liudaotang. Ren Ruyi also had some people in Andu, plus some people sent by Jin Meiniang. Everyone went out together, so they were able to spread the news overnight.

The purpose of doing this is, of course, to create chaos. As long as Andu is in chaos, things will be more convenient.

When this happened, Emperor An was furious and directly mobilized the imperial guards from all departments to start eliminating those who talked the most. At the same time, he gave a death order to the Zhuyi Guards, asking them to investigate the mastermind behind spreading the news. If they could not find out, he would let the commander of the Zhuyi Guards, Deng Hui, end his life.

As Emperor An's order was issued, the chaotic Andu suddenly became much quieter, but this was only the calm before the storm, and now all forces were on guard.

Everyone can see that this incident is aimed at Emperor An, and the mastermind behind this will definitely have follow-up actions, so many people are waiting for the mastermind's next move, because they all know that with such a big commotion, the mastermind behind this will definitely have further actions.

Emperor An had the same idea, so he specially arranged people to keep a close eye on the residence of the Wu State delegation.

He also suspected the Wu State delegation. Although he felt that the possibility was extremely low, he still had to be on guard. After all, the incident happened shortly after the Wu State delegation entered Andu.

Ning Yuanzhou and others also knew that someone was watching them, so they had not taken any action. Only Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen acted in secret.

Shortly after the incident of Emperor An's collusion with Bei Pan was exposed, another major event occurred that shocked Andu.

The eldest prince of Anguo, King of Hedong Li Shouji, was assassinated. A dragon robe was found at the place where he died. It turned out that the eldest prince had kept the dragon robe privately.

When Emperor An learned about this, he fainted from anger on the spot. This incident also caused a violent earthquake in the Anguo court.

Deng Hui, the commander of the Zhuyi Guard, was beaten and kicked by Emperor An and was almost dragged out and beheaded.

At the critical moment of life and death, Deng Hui suddenly came up with a quick idea and shouted that he knew who the murderer was.

"Who is it?" Emperor An's tearing roar echoed in the hall.

"Former Red Guard Left Envoy, Ren Xin."

When Emperor An heard the name Deng Hui said, he was confused at first, stunned for a while, and then he widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Ren Xin? Ren Xin, is that Ren Xin? Didn't she die a long time ago?"

"Your Majesty, she is not dead. Not long ago, Chen Gui, the left envoy of the Zhuyi Guard, was assassinated in the Zhuyi Guard station. I suspected it was Ren Xin at the time, but I didn't have definite evidence. Now that such a thing has happened, the only person who has the ability to assassinate and would risk his life to do such a thing is Ren Xin, Your Majesty..."

As Deng Hui shouted himself hoarse, Emperor An avoided the death penalty and began to think about what he had said.

It was indeed as Deng Hui said. If Ren Xin was the mastermind behind the scenes, everything would be clear. Ren Xin was Empress Zhaojie's man. He wanted to kill Ren Xin at the beginning, and all these years, he always thought that Ren Xin was dead.

If Ren Xin had not died and returned to Andu, he would indeed do such a crazy thing to avenge Queen Zhaojie.

But what he couldn't understand was that how could a mere Ren Xin have such great abilities? Assassination was one thing, but making the news spread throughout Andu overnight was not something that Ren Xin could do alone, so there must be someone helping Ren Xin.

But who is it?

"Investigate, investigate again, find Ren Xin, and bring her to me. I want to see her in person."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it immediately."

Deng Hui crawled out of the hall, then mobilized the entire Zhuyi Guard to search for Ren Xin.

The eldest prince Li Shouji was indeed assassinated by Ren Ruyi. To be precise, it was a joint assassination by Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen, but it was Ren Ruyi who took action in the end, while Zhou Chen cooperated from the side.

After assassinating Li Shouji, Zhou Chen and Ren Ruyi began their next move.

Chapter 1412: Emperor An's Death, the End of the Battle

Inside the Zhuyiwei station, Deng Hui had a gloomy look on his face and shouted loudly at his many subordinates.

Zhuyiwei is the largest and most powerful intelligence agency in Anguo. Being able to sit in the position of commander of Zhuyiwei also means that he has become one of the most powerful people in Anguo.

But in fact, for Deng Hui, he never wanted to be the commander of Zhuyiwei, and even hated this organization.

But no matter what he thought, he now had no way out. Recently, major events had happened one after another in Andu, and their Zhuyi Guard was completely manipulated by others, which made him, the commander, very depressed.

The left and right envoys of the Zhuyi Guard died one after another, forcing him to do everything by himself.

What puts him under the greatest pressure is that Emperor An is now going crazy. If he cannot find Ren Xin, he may lose his head at any time.

However, he had ordered all the Zhuyi Guards to disperse and search with all their might, but they could not find Ren Xin's whereabouts. As the deadline given by Emperor An was getting closer, he felt more and more stressed and he even dared not sleep.

Although he didn't like the Zhuyi Guards, as a commander he would not normally be harsh on his subordinates. But now, he had no other choice. The knife was hanging over his neck, so he had to go crazy.

Just as he was furious and cursing, suddenly a purple-robed messenger ran in hurriedly.

"Your Majesty, there is news."

Deng Hui was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Have you found Ren Xin?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, our people discovered that a mysterious woman had sneaked into King Luoxi's palace. This person may be the former Left Envoy Ren Xin."

"King Luoxi, the second prince?"

Deng Hui's face changed slightly. This was beyond his expectations.

"Has there been any movement in the Luoxi Palace since she entered?"

"No, everything is calm and our people are still keeping an eye on her. Once she comes out, we will definitely not lose her again."

The joy on Deng Hui's face faded slightly and he seemed a little hesitant. After the eldest prince was assassinated, the second prince became the most favorable competitor for the throne. Although the Zhuyi Guards had great power and a special status, they were unable to attack the prince's residence.

"You keep an eye on the Luoxi Palace first. I will go to the palace to meet His Majesty."

When Emperor An learned from Deng Hui that Ren Xin had actually entered the Luoxi Palace, his face instantly became extremely gloomy.

"You mean to say that the second brother might be the one colluding with Ren Xin, and even the eldest brother might have been assassinated by Ren Xin at the behest of the second brother?"

"I don't know, but according to the report from my subordinates, Ren Xin did enter the palace of King Luoxi, and he hasn't come out yet."

Emperor An slammed his palm heavily on the table, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Second dick."

He was not very satisfied with the eldest prince and the second prince, but after all, they were his biological sons and his only two adult sons.

Now the eldest prince was assassinated and the second prince was actually related to the assassination. Even he, an emperor who had fought on the battlefields and killed countless people, felt extremely troubled and heartbroken.

"Go and surround the Second Prince's residence. I want you to bring the Second Prince and Ren Xin here, or you will be beheaded."

"The minister obeys the order."

One is the prince and the other is the emperor. Deng Hui certainly knows how to choose. At this time, his own life is of course the most important.

So he immediately took the Zhuyi Guards and the imperial guards sent by Emperor An to surround the Second Prince's mansion. Amid the Second Prince Li Zhenye's angry roar, he led his men directly into the palace and began searching.

The second prince Li Zhenye still has no idea what happened. He wants to denounce the incident, but he is being guarded by the imperial guards and cannot put up any resistance.

Deng Hui didn't have time to waste talking to Li Zhenye, so he led people to search personally. When they found a villa, a man in red suddenly rushed out, quickly killed several people, and tried to rush out of the palace.

"Catch her, don't let her get away."

When he saw the real culprit, Deng Hui yelled excitedly, his voice distorted.

The entire palace was surrounded by a large number of Red Robe Guards and Imperial Guards. Ren Ruyi tried his best to break out, but failed and was surrounded.

Deng Hui finally met Ren Xin and confirmed his identity. He went forward to persuade him to surrender, but there was no way Ren Ruyi would surrender, so he charged again.

Just when Deng Hui thought he had won, there were suddenly violent explosions around him, and then several figures rushed out from somewhere, unexpectedly breaking through the encirclement. Together with Ren Ruyi, they fought their way out of the encirclement and soon disappeared between the buildings.

Deng Hui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and screamed miserably: "Chase, chase..."

They did chase after him, but unfortunately, they didn't catch up with even one person in the end. With so many people chasing after him in their own territory, they actually lost the person. Deng Hui looked really dejected.

But he had no way to escape, and finally could only go to the palace to plead guilty. But to his surprise, Emperor An did not really execute him. Instead, he continued to ask him to track down Ren Xin and his accomplices.

As for the second prince Li Zhenye, because he colluded with Ren Xin, he was severely punished by Emperor An and ordered to be exiled to Tianmen Pass. He was not allowed to return to the court without the emperor's order.

Although Li Zhenye cried and begged repeatedly, and Emperor An knew that Li Zhenye might be used by Ren Xin, the news had already spread. All the civil and military officials in the court thought that it was Li Zhenye who murdered the eldest prince, especially the people of the eldest prince's line, so he had to punish Li Zhenye.

The current Emperor An thinks that he is strong and healthy and can be the emperor for another ten years without any problem, so he doesn't pay much attention to his two sons.

Even though one died and one was exiled, there was still a newly born third prince. In his opinion, the young third prince was a more suitable heir than the other two sons.

Li Zhenye was exiled to Tianmen Pass. Even though he was unwilling, he could only obey the emperor's order humbly and uncomfortably.

He only brought his personal followers and went to Tianmen Pass under the escort of a team of imperial guards.

But just as they were getting far away from Andu and about to reach Tianmen Pass, two assassins suddenly rushed out. The imperial guards fought to the death, but were powerless to stop them and were completely wiped out.

Li Zhenye and his followers hugged each other tightly, trembling with fear and feeling terrified.

"Who are you and what are you?"

Ren Ruyi slowly turned around, facing the Second Prince, and asked in a cold tone: "Second Prince, have you forgotten me so quickly?"

When Li Zhenye saw Ren Ruyi's appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and then he trembled even more violently as if he saw a ghost.

"You, you, you are Ren Xin, it's really you, you are not dead, you hurt me, you hurt me..."

After being exiled, he also knew the reason why he was exiled, so when he saw Ren Ruyi, he was both afraid and angry, because it was Ren Ruyi who caused him to lose everything.

But no matter how angry he was, when facing Ren Ruyi again, he could not muster the slightest desire to resist. He was just an ordinary person who was powerless, so how could he be a match for the murderous Ren Xin.

Ren Ruyi looked down at him and said, "You were one of the murderers who killed the queen. The queen loved you so much, but you betrayed her."

Hearing this, Li Zhenye suddenly shouted: "Why do you blame me? This is not my fault. It's all my mother's fault. Why did she have to go against my father? If she and my father were good, I could be the crown prince. I don't want to do that, but everything was forced upon me by my mother. She asked for it."

"You really don't deserve the Queen's love at all, and you don't deserve to be the Queen's son."

When Ren Xin saw his ferocious face, her unrepentant attitude made her completely disappointed. She was close to the Queen in the past and watched Li Zhenye grow up, but looking at Li Zhenye now, even if the Queen raised a dog, it would probably be more filial than her own son.

Li Zhenye wanted to say something else, but a cold light flashed in Ren Ruyi's eyes, and the sword in his hand instantly slashed across Li Zhenye's body.

As Li Zhenye let out a miserable scream, Ren Ruyi shook off the blood on the sword.

"You are the son of the Queen. Even though you betrayed her, you still have her blood in you, so I won't kill you."

Zhou Chen on the side twitched his mouth. This was his own wife. She said she would not kill him, but it was more painful than killing him. After all, her tendons in her hands and feet were cut. Even if she was still alive, she would be a useless person for the rest of her life. Living was not much better than being dead.

After cutting the tendons of Li Zhenye's hands and feet, Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen left quickly.

Such a result seemed very good to Zhou Chen. At least Li Zhenye could not go to Tianmen Pass now. Without Li Zhenye, the traitor, it would not be so easy for Beipan to break through Tianmen Pass.

There was still a turmoil in Andu. As long as Ren Xin was not caught, Emperor An would not be at peace.

Moreover, with the events of these days, subtle changes had taken place in the political situation. After all, Emperor An's collusion with Bei Pan was considered unjust by many people, which dealt a heavy blow to his prestige in the country.

Especially at the recent court meeting, there was an imperial censor who came to the court to question Emperor An whether he was really colluding with Bei Pan. Emperor An was so angry that he was furious on the spot. If the officials had not stopped him, he might have chopped off the head of the imperial censor.

Late at night, in a room of the Wu Kingdom's envoy inn.

Zhou Chen gathered with Ning Yuanzhou and others. Yu Shisan asked curiously, "Why are you alone? Your wife is not with you?"

Zhou Chen said: "Two people are a big target, I can come alone to discuss it, how are your preparations going?"

Ning Yuanzhou said with a serious face: "We have already investigated the military strength near Yong'an Tower. You have been making a lot of noise recently. Although the guards there have not been reduced, they have not been increased either. Even if we are prepared, it will not be easy to capture it."

"I know, but Ruyi and I have already made the decision to assassinate Emperor An. As long as we assassinate Emperor An, regardless of success or failure, the guards of Yong'an Tower will definitely become the weakest. At that time, you will have a chance to rescue Emperor Wu."

"What? You want to assassinate Emperor An, are you crazy?"

Ning Yuanzhou and his companions were shocked when they heard Zhou Chen's decision. The assassination attempt on the eldest prince Li Shouji was successful, but Li Shouji was only a prince after all and lived in his own mansion. But Emperor An was different. He lived in the imperial palace, which was the most heavily guarded place in An State.

Even though they had all seen Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen's martial arts, they still didn't think they could succeed.

Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry about us. Since we have chosen to do this, we naturally have sufficient plans and preparations. All you have to do is seize the opportunity."

"But."

"Don't worry, we have already decided that the assassination will be carried out on... How you will act then will depend on your own abilities."

Zhou Chen did not stay in the inn for long. After discussing with Ning Yuanzhou and the others, he left quickly, leaving behind only a few people with heavy faces.

"Old Zhou, you are no longer one of us after all."
