Chapter 135: Sharpening the Knife Before Battle

  The day of the change is approaching, but during this period, Chu Zifeng has done nothing, and those people he wanted have not appeared by his side.

  As for the situation on the Yanjing side, Chu Zifeng made a phone call to Lin Shaojun. According to what Lin Shaojun said, after Huo Tingyu's death, the Evil Wolf Gang was unexpectedly quiet, but Chu Zifeng believed that Huo Tong would not give up so easily. He estimated that it was because of the change in leadership that Zhuo Xianfa and Jiang Kun told him not to make any moves, and that after the change in leadership ended, the war between the Evil Wolf Gang and the Dong Gang would officially begin. By then, Huo Tong would no longer have a say in the matter.

  "Zi Feng's younger brother, you seem quite carefree lately, don't you even care about Zhao Ayi's situation?"

  Murong Zhenzhu had just arrived from the Murong family when she saw Chu Zifeng reading in the main courtyard, and You Ran and her two sisters had also gone to school. Old Master Zhao and his wife were even more leisurely, either strolling around or gathering with Old Master Huang and others to drink tea and chat about their youth.

  Chu Zi Feng smiled and said, "I don't have anything else to do anyway. Nowadays in the capital city, everything is peaceful everywhere, so everyone is preparing for the change of dynasty. Even if I were to run outside, there's nothing fun to do, it's better to just stay at home and read a book."

  Murong Zhenzhu said, "Isn't that right? Zi Feng, don't treat me like a fool! In the past few days, my grandfather and Zhao Ye, Huang Ye, Tie Ye and others have been gathering together every day. My father and his group have also been holding meetings until very late at night. Even Xiaosang called to tell me that Tie Qiankun, Wu Zhenshan, and Hei Gui have all disappeared from the face of the earth in Yanjing, and no one can find their whereabouts. Tell me, haven't they already arrived in Beijing?"

  "Zhenzhu sister, how would I know about the things in Yanjing? I guess it's those black guys who took over the business and are busy with work now. As for Tie big brother, you should be more clear about what kind of person he is than me, I guess he went out to have some fun. And as for Wu big brother, he must have had work to attend to, that's why he wasn't in Yanjing!"

  Murong Zhenzhu walked up to Chu Zifeng and stared tightly at his eyes, asking: "You didn't deceive me? Really nothing happened that I don't know about?"

  "What's going on! Do I have to deceive you?"

  Murong Zhenzhu walked over to a big tree and picked up an empty beer bottle, saying: "As far as I know, it seems that no one in the capital city drinks Blue Ribbon beer, but this is actually Tiediankun's favorite drink."

  Chu Zi turned around and took a look, damn it, how did a beer bottle end up in this big courtyard? Which bastard left it here! Mu Rong Zhen Zhu's observational skills are too sharp.

  "Zi Feng, little brother, don't try to deceive me. I know that beneath this large courtyard, there is a secret room where Master Zhao and others would gather to discuss important military and political matters in the past. If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't there be many people gathered in the secret room now?"

  Chu Zi Feng bitterly smiled and said: "Is that so? There's a secret room below? I really didn't know!"

  "Since you don't know, I'll take you there and show you. I remember when I was six years old, my grandfather took me there once!"

  "No... Ah, I'm scared of you!"

  "How about it, will you tell the truth now? Are all of them, including Tie Qiankun, down there?"

  "Uh, since you already know, then come with me."

  Chu Zi Wind led Murong Pearl from the backyard into the Zhao family's secret room, just as Murong Pearl said, this secret room was where Zhao Shu Min and several old men used to discuss military and political affairs, for safety, so that no one else would discover it, let alone know that there was a secret room under the Zhao family's large courtyard!

  As the large iron gate opened, Murong Zhenzhu was shocked to find that there were dozens of people inside the secret room. The room was so spacious that it could accommodate more than fifty people.

  A group of people in the room were discussing something, when they saw the door open, everyone turned their heads to look, and they all knew that at this time, only Chu Zifeng could come here.

  "Zhenzhu, how did you come?"

  Tie Qian Kun was shocked, the matter of his return to Beijing was only known by Chu Zi Feng and Zhao Lao Yezi besides his grandfather, even his father didn't know. Mu Rong Zhen Zhu is an ordinary person, how did Chu Zi Feng bring her here!

  "I knew it, these past few days the Zhao family's compound has been acting suspiciously, there are fewer soldiers outside than before, a decrease of nearly one-third, they were trying to cover it up."

  Murong Zhenzhu saw that there were people she knew and didn't know in the secret room, but among them was a man who looked somewhat familiar to her.

  "Are you Li Xiuya?"

  Murong Zhenzhu asked.

  That's right, this man is the eldest son of the Li family in Hong Kong, along with Li Xiuyue and his several fellow apprentices, as well as Long Yufei and their people from the Long family, plus Hei Gui and others, there are nearly forty people here.

  Li Xiuya smiled and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this young lady must be the eldest daughter of the Murong family in Beijing, Murong Zhenzhu."

  Murong Zhenzhu smiled and looked at everyone here again, asking: "Who can tell me what's going on? Why did all of you run to the capital?"

  Since they had already brought Mu Rong Zhen Zhu down, there was no need to hide it from her. After all, Mu Rong Zhen Zhu was one of their own and wouldn't leak out such an important matter. So, Chu Zi Feng told Mu Rong Zhen Zhu everything.

  When Murong Zhenzhu heard Chu Zifeng's words, she was extremely shocked and said: "What? Someone wants to assassinate Zhao Ayi during the change of shifts?"

  "Yes, otherwise, how could I have invited all of them to the capital? Apart from those you know and Li Dage, Miss Long and Xiaosao are also from ancient martial families, now only they can help me."

  Long Yu Fei smiled and said, "Brother Chu, you're too polite. If it wasn't for the medicinal pill you gave me back then, my father might have already passed away from his injuries. You are a great benefactor of our Long family. If not for the fact that my father still needs to recuperate, he would have personally brought all of our Long family's men and horses here."

  Li Xiuya said, "Chu brother, don't worry, my father has entrusted me that no matter what the cost is, I must help you solve the problem... It's just that we didn't expect that Chu brother would be the crown prince of our country. Last time, Chu brother was quite secretive, otherwise, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't have dared to speak to Chu brother like that."

  "Haha, Brother Li, you don't have to be so polite. Since I've asked for your help, I already consider you as one of us. There's no outsider here, let's discuss the plan together."

  Wu Zhenshan said, "Tomorrow is the day of the change of office, and we have already thought it through. At that time, I will follow Qiankun and Huang Daniu to mix into the army escorting Premier Zhao, while Miss Long and the other ladies will serve as Premier Zhao's personal bodyguards. Hei Gui and the others will mix into the crowd and observe the surroundings. As for my fellow disciples, they will sneak into the Great Hall of the People in advance, so no matter when those wolf-like men make their move, we won't be caught off guard."

  The black ghost said, "As for the Xiang family side, Tianji and a few others are already monitoring them. As long as that damn traitor comes into contact with the wolf people, Tianji and the others will immediately notify us, but I've already instructed them not to alarm the enemy."

  Chu Zi Wind nodded and looked at the time again, saying: "There are still ten hours until tomorrow, which means that in ten hours, we will face a great battle. This war is not for my family, but it's about the safety of the entire nation. If something goes wrong, everyone present here will become sinners for eternity. I hope you all understand this."

  "Chu brothers, don't worry, tomorrow we will definitely not disappoint you." said Hei Gui.

  "Alright, everyone should rest and recharge their spirits. Tomorrow, as soon as those werewolves appear, we'll launch a fierce battle. My grandfather has already made all the arrangements, so no one will be able to stop us."

  Chu Zi Feng had just finished speaking when Murong Zhenzhu walked up to Huang Da Niu and said, "Da Niu, this time it's not a game, you mustn't mess things up, or else your grandfather will definitely skin you alive."

  "Jade sister, don't worry, this time I will definitely let my elder sister see that I am much stronger than her."

  Beep... beep...

  "Hei Gui's phone rang, and after answering a call, he said: 'Chu brothers, there is movement on the Han traitor's side.'"

  "What?"

  "She has already been in contact with werewolves, pheasant asks what should you do now?"

  "Tell Tianji Da Ge and the others to split into two groups. On one hand, continue to monitor that woman, once things are over, we can't let her get away. On the other hand, follow those werewolves, but be extremely careful, absolutely cannot be discovered by them. As long as we grasp their route, everything will be easy, and the success rate will increase by thirty percent."

  "Okay, I'll get Tianji to handle it right away."

  "Then everyone will sharpen their knives and tomorrow we'll hunt wolves together."

  "Yes."
