Chapter 535 Out of danger
Chapter 535 Out of danger
"Have you ever considered me a brother? Let me tell you, you absolutely cannot think like that. Today, we are going to fight side by side to kill Wei Zhongxian here. No matter what, even if you say the truth, I will not leave."
How could Liu Chengdong not know what Ma Dazhi was thinking? It was obvious that Ma Dazhi was determined to die today, so Liu Chengdong was even less likely to leave. Ma Dazhi's eyes were red as he patted Liu Chengdong on the shoulder.
"Since you've said that, I can't say anything more. But I want to tell you that we've chosen the right person to follow in our lives, even though Chen Er is usually very harsh on us."
"But Chen Er is a very protective person, so I don't want to disappoint him."
Both of them wore eerie smiles. They didn't see Zhang Tianfei, who was also smiling, holding a sword in his hand on a large tree.
Zhang Tianfei felt that the two people were very familiar, even though they had completely covered their faces with black cloth.
However, Zhang Tianfei could still guess from their general body outlines that they were two people: Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong.
At this critical moment, Zhang Tianfei could not imagine anyone else besides Chen Er who dared to assassinate Wei Zhongxian.
Actually, Zhang Tianfei didn't realize that Ma Tiantao was holding a wine jar under the big tree, drinking while curiously watching Zhang Tianfei. Ma Tiantao had gone out to drink.
I was feeling really down, but thankfully I met Chen Er today and we talked things out.
It's possible that if I help Chen Er in the future and get some information from Wei Zhongxian, I might be able to help Chen Er get out of danger.
However, following Zhang Tianfei's gaze, Ma Tiantao noticed two guys on the roof, and he felt that these two guys were very familiar to him.
"Zhang Tianfei, what are you doing up in the tree so late? Maybe it's cool in the breeze, come down and have a drink."
You should know that Ma Tiantao said this very loudly, so much so that he almost threw Zhang Tianfei off the tree. Zhang Tianfei glared at Ma Tiantao resentfully.
"You bastard, how dare you ruin my plans! I'll deal with you later."
After Zhang Tianfei finished speaking, he tried to run towards the roof. At the same time, Ma Tiantao threw the wine jar in his hand at Zhang Tianfei. Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong on the roof were already about to make a move.
Because they had already taken out their daggers, they never expected to be discovered. The two men exchanged glances and had no choice but to leave temporarily. However, it wasn't so easy for them to leave. At that moment, Zhang Tianfei shouted.
"Guards! Someone is trying to assassinate Lord Wei Zhongxian! Seize those two people on the rooftop immediately!"
Zhang Tianfei's shout immediately attracted many of his men. Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting in the study, felt a cold sweat break out all over his body and immediately hid the handkerchief in his hand on his body.
Wei Zhongxian was also surprised that someone would be so bold as to send someone to assassinate him. In Wei Zhongxian's eyes, he was the only one in history who had ever sent people to assassinate others.
This wasn't the first time Wei Zhongxian had done something like this. For example, he once sent Zhang Tianfei to assassinate the emperor, and he also tried to assassinate Chen Er.
Now, who could have imagined that it would be Wei Zhongxian's turn? At that time, Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong were in dire straits, as there were no fewer than a dozen people in the Eastern Depot with formidable martial arts skills.
These people didn't belong to the Eastern Depot; rather, they were Wei Zhongxian's men, and they all came from the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) because of their reputation.
Because they knew that as long as they followed Wei Zhongxiang, they would live a life of luxury and never have to worry about anything. That's why they were so willing to degenerate. As soon as they heard Zhang Tianfei say there were assassins, they immediately gave chase.
Seeing so many martial arts figures chasing after Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong, Zhang Tianfei immediately turned his cold gaze towards Ma Tiantao.
"You damn bastard, did you do that on purpose? If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll break your neck."
Although both Zhang Tianfei and Ma Tiantao were close associates of Wei Zhongxian, they were not on the same page and could not work together. Zhang Tianfei was the kind of cold-blooded assassin who seemed to live in darkness every day.
Even during the day, Zhang Tianfei would lock himself in his room, but Ma Tiantao was different; Ma Tiantao still controlled the Eastern Depot.
To put it bluntly, he was a minor leader in the Eastern Depot. Although Wei Zhongxian had said that everyone should obey Zhang Xingchen's orders, now that Zhang Xingchen was not around, they could only obey Ma Tiantao.
When the wine jar flew towards Zhang Tianfei, he didn't hesitate and smashed it to pieces with a single punch. Zhang Tianfei then jumped towards Ma Tiantao.
Although Ma Tiantao's martial arts skills were good, they were still far inferior to Zhang Tianfei's.
After only a few rounds, Ma Tiantao was knocked to the ground. Fortunately, all the people from the Eastern Depot obeyed Ma Tiantao and surrounded Zhang Tianfei.
Left with no other choice, Zhang Tianfei had to pursue Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong once again.
Looking in the direction Zhang Tianfei left, Ma Tiantao dusted himself off, stood up, sighed, and chased after him.
Ma Tiantao stopped Zhang Tianfei, urging Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong to leave quickly.
Although these martial arts figures were quite skilled, they had already wasted some time by discovering Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong, so the distance between them had widened considerably.
There was no way to catch up with Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong for the time being. Zhang Tianfei, with his sharp eyes, suddenly looked at Ma Tiantao, who was chasing after him.
Without hesitation, Zhang Tianfei turned around and kicked Ma Tiantao, sending him flying to the ground. Only then did Zhang Tianfei continue his pursuit.
In his study, Chen Er pondered and pondered, trying to find a solution to Yang Xiaoqian's death, preferably to hide the matter from view, otherwise...
No matter how good the relationship was between me and Brother Zhang Xingchen, it couldn't be maintained.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and Qin Luoshen rushed in anxiously: "It's terrible, Chen Er! Ma Dazhi and Liu Chengdong have gone to assassinate Wei Zhongxian!"
"They only left us a note." After Qin Luoshen finished speaking, she stuffed a note into Chen Er's hand.
