Chapter 1396 Joining the Mission and Inviting Ren Ruyi
Zhou Chen walked over and sat down next to Ning Yuanzhou and the others.

"It's just killing Zhao Ji, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Yu Shisan said sarcastically, "Tsk tsk, you are pretending. I really didn't realize that, Zhou Chen, you are pretending now too."

Ning Yuanzhou asked, "You have left Liudaotang now. Didn't you say you were going to travel? Didn't you leave with your girlfriend?"

Zhou Chen replied, "She has something else to do, so she left first. As for me, I do want to travel, but I thought about it and realized that you have helped me a lot. It would not be good if I just left like that. So I thought about it and realized that you are going to Anguo with the delegation. I am also traveling, so it doesn't matter where I go. I might as well go with you to Anguo."

Ning Yuanzhou frowned slightly: "You know the purpose of our trip to Anguo. The journey will be full of dangers. Once we arrive in Anguo, our lives may be in danger."

"It doesn't matter. I'm good at Qinggong. If my life is really in danger, I can just run away first."

After these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Zhou Chen with strange eyes.

"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? I don't receive your salary, why do you want me to risk my life?"

Yu Shisan said again: "One more thing, you are not only good at pretending, but you are also becoming more and more shameless."

Zhou Chen smiled, there were some words he couldn't say, saving Emperor Wu from Andu, but his main mission was something he had to complete, now he was just looking for an excuse.

Ning Yuanzhou said in a deep voice: "Zhou Chen, are you sure you want to come with us?"

In fact, he was open to Zhou Chen joining the delegation. When they were surrounded before, the martial arts and swordsmanship Zhou Chen displayed were really amazing. If Zhou Chen could join, it would definitely be a great help to them.

"Of course, I will join the mission with you and can help a little on the way, but you have to provide food and drink."

"No problem. I can agree to let you join. If you want to leave at that time, you can leave at any time."

As soon as Ning Yuanzhou finished speaking, Qian Zhao frowned and said, "The diplomatic mission is of great importance. If they can come and go as they please, that's not a good idea, right?"

Ning Yuanzhou waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. I believe him. Zhou Chen, you are welcome to join us."

Zhou Chen bumped fists with Ning Yuanzhou and said, "Thank you very much. Although I have withdrawn from the Six Paths Hall now, I am also very upset about the false accusations against the brothers of the Heavenly Path. I also hope to do my part to help the brothers of the Heavenly Path and the Six Paths Hall clear the grievances and dispel the rumors."

These words immediately made Ning Yuanzhou and the others silent. Even Qian Zhao, who had expressed an opinion just now, was moved. His eyes changed and became much gentler. He didn't say anything more.

"Oh, that's right."

Yu Shisan, who was good at adjusting the atmosphere, clapped his hands and laughed happily. His idea was simple: having one more person among his own was a good thing.

The next morning, Zhou Chen and his team set out. At this time, the delegation had arrived at Yongcheng, west of Wudu, and was staying at Luming Post Station. They needed to meet up with the delegation and take on the task of protecting the delegation.

Ning Yuanzhou and his four companions were all wearing the official uniforms of Liudaotang, while Zhou Chen was dressed lightly in green clothes.

"I told you to choose white. Only white can make you look elegant and handsome. But you insisted on choosing cyan. What kind of vision do you have?"

Yu Shisan kept complaining while holding Zhou Chen. If it wasn't for Ning Yuanzhou's mandatory request, he wouldn't want to wear the official uniform of Liudaotang. Since he couldn't wear white clothes, he set his sights on Zhou Chen. Unfortunately, Zhou Chen didn't listen to him at all. He asked him to wear white clothes, but Zhou Chen insisted on wearing green clothes, which made him very angry.

Zhou Chen said disdainfully: "You need white to show your charm, and I am charming enough. No matter what color clothes I wear, I will still be dazzling."

Yu Shisan was dumbfounded: "I finally found someone who can pretend better than me. You are so shameless."

"To each other, to each other."

Starting from the capital, the group rode at full speed and arrived at Luming Post Station before noon.

"Brother Yuanzhou, Brother Yuanzhou..."

As soon as they arrived at the post station, they saw Yang Ying running out excitedly and shouting loudly.

But before she could run to Ning Yuanzhou, she was stopped by the maid behind her in a cold voice.

"Your Highness, please be polite."

While Yang Ying was talking to Ning Yuanzhou and reminiscing about the past, Zhou Chen was looking at Yang Ying.

The character Yang Ying is definitely the second female lead in the drama "One Thought, One Road". She has many outstanding shots and scenes. Except for the fact that she inexplicably married Li Tongguang in the end, this character is actually very well portrayed.

Maybe she seemed annoying and ignorant at the beginning.

But you have to know that she was just a princess of the cold palace who was fifteen or sixteen years old and grew up in it and had never been favored.

Life in the palace was very difficult and she was starving. Such a young princess was timid and sensitive by nature. If it were not for her so-called love, she would not have the courage to volunteer to go on the diplomatic mission.

Although she encountered many problems during the process, her final performance did not disappoint others' expectations of her. She completed the task perfectly and also grew.

It’s just that the character design at the end was a bit exaggerated, but at the end of the whole drama, almost all the main characters’ characters were ruined, so there’s no need to discuss it further.

When it comes to rescuing Emperor Wu, the ability of the protagonist group cannot be underestimated, but without Yang Ying's outstanding performance, this task would not have been possible.

Although Yang Ying was dressed as a prince, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that she was different. Her posture, appearance, eyes, and behavior were all very different from those of a man.

Ning Yuanzhou and the others followed Yang Ying into the house. The head of the delegation, Lord Shi Du, and the female maid Ming followed closely behind Yang Ying. Especially the female maid Ming, who stared at Zhou Chen and the others with a vigilant look, as if she was on guard against something.

After Yang Ying acted coquettishly for a while, Ning Yuanzhou began to introduce Yuan Lu and others who came with him to Yang Ying.

"This is Sun Lang. From today on, he will officially join the delegation to protect you and will be responsible for your safety. Once we leave Beijing, the number of Red Guards' spies will increase, so for the sake of convenience, we will also forge an identity, one in the open and one in the dark, to cooperate with the delegation's actions."

"After the war, this medicinal material is in short supply, so we will pretend to be the medicinal material merchants of Chu State. We are worried about danger along the way, so we will rely on the relationship of the diplomatic corps and act together, which can be regarded as a companion."

"This is Tiandao Qian Zhao, disguised as a guard of the caravan."

"You know Yuanlu, he's dressed as a servant."

Qian Zhao and Yuanlu both saluted Yang Ying one after another.

When it was Yu Shisan's turn, Ning Yuanzhou was about to introduce him.

"this……"

Yu Shisan took the initiative and stopped Ning Yuanzhou from introducing himself. He posed and introduced himself with a smile on his face.

"I am the most important accountant of the caravan, Yu Shisan. It's our first meeting, and I have a gift for you."

As he spoke, under the gaze of everyone, he took out a flower from behind him and handed it to Yang Ying.

"I just picked these flowers outside. I hope His Royal Highness Prince Li will feel more at peace when he sees these bright flowers."

Just as Yang Ying was about to take it, Du Changshi suddenly coughed twice, scaring her so much that she withdrew her hand. It was Ning Yuanzhou who gave her a way out and took the flowers from Yu Shisan and gave them to Yang Ying.

Ning Yuanzhou pointed at Zhou Chen and introduced him: "The last one, he, he is my good friend. This time he went to Anguo with us. He pretended to be the host of the merchant caravan."

Yang Ying was not impressed by his introduction, but the Ming female envoy looked dissatisfied.

"Isn't he from your Liudaotang?"

"No."

"How can that be possible? He is an outsider. How can he join the delegation? Who knows what his purpose is? Maybe he has evil intentions. I think..."

The next moment, the sword was across her neck, and Zhou Chen asked softly, "What do you feel?"

The Ming maid's face turned pale with fright, her body was shaking, she was so terrified that she couldn't even speak complete words.

"you you……"

Du Changshi and Yang Ying were also shocked, mainly because Zhou Chen's speed was too fast and they didn't react at all. Now he had even shown his weapons. Don't you think it was scary?

Du Changshi even screamed: "Lord Ning, this, this..."

Although Ning Yuanzhou pretended to be serious, he actually gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up in his heart, and Yuan Lu and the others were even more delighted.

They all disliked this arrogant and smug female servant from the Ming Dynasty, and now that Zhou Chen was making her suffer a loss, they were all happy to see it happen.

"Zhou Chen, give me some face, forget it."

Zhou Chen politely put away his sword and returned to where he had originally stood.

Ning Yuanzhou said to Envoy Ming with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Envoy Ming, my good friend has a bad temper. You'd better not provoke him, otherwise he will really dare to kill people."

Such an obvious threat made the female envoy Ming tremble with anger, but she dared not say anything. She really felt the breath of death just now. In addition to the sword edge and Zhou Chen's terrifying eyes, she could not muster any resistance at all.

Without the Ming female servant making trouble, Ning Yuanzhou comforted Yang Ying with a few more words and asked Qian Zhao to take Yang Ying's pulse and examine her. After making sure that there was nothing serious, he asked some more questions.

He not only asked Yang Ying, but also asked the female envoy Ming and Du Changshi. However, to his disappointment, their answers were far from meeting his requirements. With the current cooperation, they would not be able to deceive the people of Anguo when they arrived, let alone save Emperor Wu.

Finally, Ning Yuanzhou couldn't ask any more questions, and they all went to their rooms to start the discussion.

Zhou Chen and his friends had just sat down, but Yu Shisan was so angry that he couldn't sit down. He stood there and vented his anger.

"Burning into the court and denouncing Emperor An, I've read too many scripts, how can this be played? Come, let's make a bet, how long will it take for our little princess to be discovered if she goes to Anguo like this? I'll bet for one day."

Yuanlu said with a smile: "Now that Ningtou is here, it will take at least two days."

Qian Zhao coldly expressed his judgment: "At most half an hour. This female official doesn't respect His Highness. How can we teach her well?"

Yu Shisan sighed, "The little princess who grew up in the cold palace is so pitiful. I knew it wouldn't be easy for you to find me. Sigh."

Ning Yuanzhou was silent for a moment and then expressed his thoughts. He knew what was going on when he saw the personnel configuration of this delegation.

Emperor Wu was captured by An Guo. Some people wanted to rescue him, but some people didn't want him to come back. Among them, King Danyang was definitely the one who didn't want him to come back the most.

As long as Emperor Wu does not come back, the one with the greatest hope of inheriting the throne is Prince Danyang. Under such circumstances, how could he possibly pay attention to the delegation?

If Zhang Song had not invited Ning Yuanzhou to take charge, it would be hard to say whether such a delegation could achieve Anguo.

"We are not far from the capital now, so it is still in time to change people. However, Du Changshi cannot be replaced. So we should replace the female official and ask the Queen to send another capable one."

Qian Zhao, who had been the commander of the imperial guards for several years, knew the situation in the palace best.

"There is no one else. There are only a few female officials in the palace who can be used. Unless you want to deliberately find an excuse and ask your childhood sweetheart, Ms. Pei, to come over? But she seems to be engaged, so it's not appropriate."

Looking at Qian Zhao who was making jokes in a serious manner, Ning Yuanzhou was choked and speechless. Zhou Chen couldn't help laughing out loud, which made Ning Yuanzhou glare at him in dissatisfaction.

"Of course it's not appropriate. Where did you go?"

Ning Yuanzhou quickly changed the subject and looked at Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, what do you think?"

"I sit and watch."

Zhou Chen picked up the tea that Yuanlu poured for him and drank it in one gulp.

"I'm here to add icing on the cake, not to help in times of trouble. But if you really want me to give you some advice, I do have a candidate."

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhou Chen.

"Who?"

Zhou Chen said to Ning Yuanzhou: "You should be able to guess who I'm talking about. She is definitely the best choice, but I don't know if you dare to use her."

Ning Yuanzhou understood who Zhou Chen was talking about, and frowned. He hesitated to answer, which made Yu Shisan curious and asked, "Is she a great beauty?"

Ning Yuanzhou ignored him and just looked at Zhou Chen.

"Are you sure she can do it?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned her to you. She definitely meets your requirements, but I'm just making a suggestion. The decision is up to you."

"Where is she now?"

"She went to kill someone. If you hadn't told me, I would have gone to look for her because she might be in trouble, but if you agree to ask her out, I can help bring her back."

Ning Yuanzhou fell into deep thought. Although Ren Ruyi did not admit it, he knew that Ren Ruyi was the Zhuyi Guard. As for whether he was Bai Que, after seeing Ren Ruyi's martial arts, he was not so sure.

But one thing is for sure, Ren Ruyi's identity is not simple, and his status in the Zhuyi Guard is not ordinary. He must know An Guo much better than outsiders like them.

What he has to consider now is whether it will be disadvantageous to the mission if Ren Ruyi is allowed to join the mission?

Zhou Chen and he have been colleagues and good friends for many years, but in this matter, he did not dare to fully trust Zhou Chen's judgment.

Yu Shisan asked impatiently, "What on earth are you two talking about? Can you please tell us who this person is that you are talking about?"

No one paid attention to him. Ning Yuanzhou hesitated for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Okay, I agree. If you can find her, I can talk to her. If she meets my requirements and agrees to my terms, I can invite her to join our mission."

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes: "Don't be so self-righteous. Even if you want to invite someone, they may not agree."

"With you personally taking action, there will definitely be no problem, right?"

"You are so clumsy at flattering me, but I agree. Before that, I will borrow the beast path for a while. I need to check her location."

"no problem."

…………

After Ren Ruyi and Zhou Chen separated at the city gate of Beijing, she went to look for Yue Sanniang. With the intelligence and news provided by Zhou Chen, she quickly determined the other party's position, and used a trick to force the other party to lose their composure and reveal their flaws, and then took action directly while they were escaping.

She successfully subdued Yue Sanniang, but Yue Sanniang saw through her weakness of having no internal strength, so she turned the tables and teamed up with her men to kill her.

The disadvantage of having no internal strength was revealed. Facing Yue Sanniang and her men alone, she could only rely on her moves and body skills to fight back, and was repeatedly forced to retreat.

But even when she was at a disadvantage, her expression didn't change much.

At this moment, a man in green suddenly came quickly with a flash of sword. The red-clothed guards who were besieging Ren Ruyi were all killed in one blow.

Ren Ruyi also seized this opportunity and made a move instantly, piercing the chest of Yue Sanniang, who was slightly stunned, with a sword.

"Who is that person at the headquarters?" Ren Ruyi finally asked Yue Sanniang.

Yue Sanniang vomited blood, but she was still stubborn: "I won't tell you. If he can't contact me, he will naturally find you."

Not getting an answer, Ren Ruyi drew his sword and took the bell from Yue Sanniang's body.

Zhou Chen, dressed in green, came over and saw that Ren Ruyi looked unhappy. He asked with concern, "How are you? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, why are you here?"

Zhou Chen's appearance really caught Ren Ruyi off guard, but Zhou Chen did help her again.

"I need your help with something. It's a coincidence. I'm not saying that you know you have no internal strength, but you still act so arrogantly. Can't you plan more carefully?"

Ren Ruyi snorted coldly: "Even if you don't come, I can still deal with them."

"I know, but there's no need to risk your life with them. Never mind. Maybe you've been through this before and don't have that concept. Count me for talking too much."

Ren Ruyi grew up in the Zhuyi Guards and was also an assassin. Fighting life for life and exchanging injuries was commonplace for her.

Ren Ruyi was rarely cared for by others. Zhou Chen helped her several times, which made her feel differently about Zhou Chen, and even a little warmer.

"You said you wanted my help with something, what is it?"

"Don't worry. When I came to find you just now, I met a guy who escaped on horseback. I think you should be interested in him."

Zhou Chen pulled Ren Ruyi to a nearby place, where they saw an unconscious man lying on the ground. When Ren Ruyi saw him, his expression turned grim.

It was this Yu Lang who hurt Linglong and killed Linglong. She had no time to chase him just now, but she didn't expect Zhou Chen to catch him, which really saved her a lot of effort.

"Thank you. You helped me again. I'll keep it in mind."
