Chapter 432 - 432 Rescue

432 Rescue

The flying needles were poisonous, and those who were shot by them collapsed in a few breaths.

“Kill them.”

Wei Xiaotian ordered angrily.

Hundreds of killers swarmed forward.

Since they didn’t want to live, none of them could leave.

Since Zhou Heng made him feel like a fishbone was stuck in his throat, he might as well make him disappear and pretend that he had never appeared.

Only when Zhou Heng died would his son have a chance.

Wei Xiaotian’s eyes were cold as he shouted sternly, “Kill them. Don’t let any of them off.”

Su Xiaolu and the others had poisonous needles on them. The killers could not attack them for a while.

There were too many assassins. If this continued, they would not be able to hold on sooner or later.

Zhou Heng felt a pain in his heart. He choked and said, “Don’t worry about me. Leave quickly.”

“Brother Heng, be careful and speak less.”

Su Chong attacked swiftly. Even in such a dangerous situation, he had never thought of leaving Zhou Heng.

After spending nearly ten years together, he could not bear to part with Zhou Heng. If he ignored his life like this, how could he face his heart in the future?

He would only know if there was a way out after fighting.

The three of them had their backs facing each other, with Zhou Heng protected in the safe zone.

Zhou Heng shed tears.

Wei Xiaotian did not expect Su Xiaolu and the others to be so powerful. They were definitely not ordinary people.

Zhou Heng did not tell them this.

Seeing his men fall one by one, Wei Xiaotian’s expression became even more gloomy. He cursed angrily, “Trash, what’s the use of raising you? You can’t even kill a few brats.”

Back then, he wanted to protect Zhou Heng in the capital, but he couldn’t.

Now, he wanted to kill Zhou Heng. It was just a few brats, but they could not kill him. How could he not be angry?!

“Who dares to commit murder in the capital? Arrest them all.”

A shout sounded. Not far from the alley, a group of people walked over with torches.

Wei Xiaotian’s expression changed.

Wei Xiaotian gritted his teeth. “Retreat.”

His men had clearly lured away the secret guards hiding in the dark. Why would the imperial guards come?

There was no time to think. Wei Xiaotian knew that the situation was hopeless, so he could only give the order to retreat.

His people quickly retreated. Those who were injured and could not escape also bit through the poison sac and committed suicide.

“Huff—”

Jin Qi stopped the horse and dismounted. He greeted Su Xiaolu, “Miss Su, what a coincidence. Why are you being assassinated again? Are you alright?”

Su Xiaolu looked at Jin Qi and said calmly, “Some of the poisoned people are not dead. They can be captured and interrogated.”

Coincidence? Who was he kidding?

Jin Qi’s team had more than a hundred elite soldiers. They were well-trained and neatly dealt with the dead and the living.

Qi Xingfeng scratched his head and chose to remain silent.

Anyway, he couldn’t explain it clearly in a few words, so he decided not to say it.

“Miss Su, I’ll escort you back. The capital hasn’t been peaceful recently.”

Jin Qi looked at Su Xiaolu and said.

Su Xiaolu didn’t want to talk. She was annoyed.

“I want to see your master.”

Zhou Heng looked at Jin Qi and said calmly.

Jin Qi frowned. “My master is not someone you can meet just because you want to.”

“How will you know if he will see me or not? You didn’t report it.”

Zhou Heng’s eyes were cold. He looked at Jin Qi, who fell silent.

“I’ll relay the message for you.”

Jin Qi looked away.

“Chong, Xingfeng, Xiaolu, you guys go back first. I’ll go see him.”

Zhou Heng looked at Su Xiaolu and Su Chong.

His eyes were resolute. He had obviously made his decision.

Su Chong frowned and finally nodded. “Alright, let’s go back first. You can stay there tonight. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”

Zhou Heng looked at Jin Qi and replied to Su Chong, “Alright, it’s not impossible to have a place to stay in such a big residence. See you tomorrow.”

Jin Qi frowned.

Su Chong, Su Xiaolu, and Qi Xingfeng got into the carriage and left.

Jin Qi still frowned. They really left.

Jin Qi looked at Zhou Heng and finally said reluctantly, “Young Master Zhou, please.”

Zhou Heng looked calm.

With Jin Qi leading the way, not long after they went out from the other end of the alley, they saw a carriage. The person guarding the carriage was Jin Liu. When he saw Zhou Heng, he frowned and asked, “Why did you bring him here?”

Master didn’t say that he wanted to see him.

Zhou Heng said, “I wanted to come. I want to see Ah Zhi. He’s—in the carriage.”

Zhou Heng looked at the carriage with a gloomy expression.

Jin Liu and Jin Qi didn’t say anything, which was a tacit agreement.

Zhou Zhi was indeed in the carriage. He had also heard Zhou Heng’s words. He said calmly, “Let him in.”

Jin Liu moved aside and Zhou Heng got into the carriage.

Zhou Heng sat down and Zhou Zhi said in a deep voice, “Let’s go back.”

“You expected this?”

Zhou Heng asked Zhou Zhi if he had already expected the situation today, so his people appeared at the right time.

“Pretty much, but I didn’t expect him to really kill you.”

Zhou Zhi answered Zhou Heng’s question softly. He did not expect Wei Xiaotian to really want to kill Zhou Heng.

However, he understood after thinking for a moment.

Zhou Heng could not understand. He gulped. “Why? Even if they don’t believe me, they don’t have a reason to kill me. Why would they do that?”

He couldn’t understand why they wanted to kill him.

If they did not believe him, then even if they did not help him recover his identity, he could still be Zhou Heng. Why did he have to die?

Hearing Zhou Heng’s question, Zhou Zhi smiled lightly and said, “Brother, without you, there’s hope for the Wei family’s children. It’s very tempting to become a minister and a monarch.”

“They are doing this just for that position?”

Zhou Heng found it difficult to accept. Just for the throne, they could ignore everything. What about kinship? What was kinship?

He had lived with the Su family for nearly ten years, and Su Chong and Su Xiaolu had risked their lives to save him. Why did they care so much about the kinship they had with each other every day? And why could their real family ignore his life?

“Hehe…”

Zhou Zhi smiled sarcastically.

Zhou Heng choked. “I grew up in the Su family. Su Chong, Su Hua, Su Xiaoling, and Su Xiaolu. They’re intimate and trust each other. Their hearts ache for each other and they understand each other. Even Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao are the same. I’m very envious of them. Ah Zhi, I really hope that it’s the same between us. Father and Mother have to be like Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao.”

If only he and Zhou Zhi were born into an ordinary family.

“Hehe…”

Zhou Zhi sneered and said, “Brother, you’re too naive. There’s no true kinship in the royal family. Even Mother and the Wei family are only connected by interests.”

“The kinship you want might be in your next life. In this life, don’t expect them. You have to adapt as soon as possible. The royal family is cold-blooded and heartless.”

Zhou Zhi reached out and grabbed Zhou Heng’s shoulder. He was very strong. His thin palm seemed to want to crush Zhou Heng’s shoulder.

In the darkness, Zhou Heng saw Zhou Zhi’s eyes. They were as dark as the night, making one’s heart sink.
