Chapter 161 Assassination!

Outside the checkpoint, time flowed slowly, and more than ten days passed quietly during the long journey.

After going through untold hardships and full of fatigue and anticipation, the delegation finally arrived at the first pass of Northern Qi.

Here, Su Wenyi and his group, with mixed feelings, finally met the person who came to greet them - Jinyiwei Shen Zhong.

Shen Zhong was dressed in gorgeous official uniform, and was accompanied by a group of majestic and menacing Jinyiwei, who were neatly lined up there.

Their figures cast long shadows under the sunlight, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Shen Zhong himself has a stern face and sharp eyes, as if he can see through everything.

He exudes a completely different kind of friendliness.

In addition to the Jinyiwei and Shen Zhong, there were a few Momos who stood quietly by.

Fan Xian got out of the car carelessly, walked up to Shen Zhong and greeted him.

Su Wenyi came to the carriage where Sean was.

The atmosphere in the carriage was solemn.

Su Wenyi looked at the two old men in the carriage and said solemnly, “Be careful, Sean, your ordeal is about to begin.

Shen Zhong will take you away soon. His methods are cruel and some physical torture is unavoidable.

And they probably also want to kill you, just to get something from you."

Su Wenyi's words were full of worry and reminders, he was well aware of the difficulties Sean was about to face.

After hearing what Su Wenyi said, Sean sneered, with a hint of disdain and stubbornness in his laughter.

Sean said: "Thanks to your good food and drinks during this period, my kung fu has recovered a lot.

If he really wants to use force against me, then I will just risk my life."

There was a determination gleam in Sean's eyes, he was ready to face any challenge.

When Sean said this, Zhuang Mohan on the side couldn't help but say, "That's not necessary. You and I are brothers, so even if he wants to make things difficult for you, it won't be that easy.

Wait, I'll get off with you!"

Zhuang Mohan's tone was firm, full of love and protection for his brothers.

Sean quickly stopped him and said, “Brother!”

His face was full of worry, and he didn't want Zhuang Mohan to be in danger because of him.

Zhuang Mohan said firmly: "This time, listen to me! As your elder brother, I have not helped you for so many years. This time, I will protect you no matter what.

I can't let my brother, as an older brother, watch his younger brother being tortured in front of me!"

Zhuang Mohan's words were full of affection and responsibility, which moved people deeply.

After the two men finished discussing, Su Wenyi smiled and said to them, “If you brothers join forces, then Shen Zhong will naturally have to be cautious.

However, I'm afraid that the time left for the two of you is short."

There was a hint of helplessness and emotion in Su Wenyi's smile. He knew very well that in this complicated situation, their time was tight and the future was full of uncertainty.

After saying this, Su Wenyi left the carriage. When he left the carriage, he happened to see Fan Xian and Shen Zhong arguing with each other.

After Su Wenyi took a look at Shen Zhong, he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

Shen Zhong is also a man of affection and righteousness, but it's a pity that he is too arrogant and has no strong backing.

If Fan Xian didn't have the aura of the protagonist, compared with the other two, Fan Xian might not be able to handle the other.

What’s even more regrettable is that Shen Zhong has a weakness, a fatal weakness!

It's a pity that such a person is destined to die for his beliefs. Su Wenyi thought, turned around and returned to the carriage.

When Su Wenyi returned to the carriage, Shen Zhong had already seen Su Wenyi's figure.

Su Wenyi is also a registered member of the Jinyiwei.

Shen Zhong, the actual controller of the Jinyiwei, naturally knew Su Wenyi.

Especially after the Si Gu Jian incident, the most concerned group in the entire Northern Qi was the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Shen Zhong couldn't help but frown when he saw Su Wenyi return to the carriage.

His heart was full of doubts and vigilance, not knowing what changes Su Wenyi's appearance would bring to this incident.

Fan Xian also noticed Shen Zhong's unusual reaction, so he took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong, Lord Shen?"

There was a hint of curiosity and tentativeness in Fan Xian's tone. He also wanted to know why Shen Zhong reacted in this way to Su Wenyi's appearance.

Shen Zhong raised his eyebrows and asked Fan Xian with a smile, "Master Fan, I just saw an acquaintance."

When Fan Xian heard Shen Zhong's words, he had no idea what he meant.

Fan Xian said directly: "Are you talking about the one just now? That's my uncle, Su Wenyi."

When Shen Zhong heard Fan Xian say this, he asked in surprise, "Your uncle? This Mr. Su, does he have such a relationship with Lord Fan?"

Fan Xian looked at Shen Zhong's curious eyes and explained calmly.

"It's nothing, actually. My father Fan Jian is Si Nanbo, and he doesn't have many good friends."

"Director Chen of the Inspection Institute is one of them, and the other one is Mr. Su."

"Plus, I am a student of Fei Jie, so my Uncle Su and my master are as close as brothers."

"My two uncles have always loved me very much, especially this time. They knew I was coming to Northern Qi and followed me all the way because they were worried that I might be in danger."

"Luckily my uncle is here, otherwise, I'm afraid we would have encountered many more hardships along the way."

After Fan Xian finished speaking, his heavy brows furrowed again.

But it only took a moment for Shen Zhong to change the subject.

Shen Zhong said to Fan Xian, "I see. But, then, Sean, shouldn't Master Fan be handed over to me?"

After listening to this, Fan Xian said slowly, "Sean? Okay, I'll have someone bring it to you right away."

"However, besides Sean, there is another person you may want to take back with you."

Shen Zhong thought Fan Xian was talking about Si Lili, so he said indifferently, "Of course!"

Seeing Shen Zhong agreed, Fan Xian waved to the people behind him.

After a while, Sean and Zhuang Mohan were invited down.

When Shen Zhong saw Zhuang Mohan following behind Xiao En, his expression suddenly changed!

Shen Zhong said angrily, "Master Fan! Mr. Zhuang Mohan Zhuang is a great scholar of Northern Qi!"

"You imprisoned him and Sean in the same carriage!"

"How dare you insult me, the great scholar of Northern Qi!"

When Fan Xian heard this, he quickly said, "Hey, Lord Shen, you misunderstood. It was not my arrangement that Mr. Zhuang and Sean were in the same carriage."

"Mr. Zhuang wanted to do this."

"I, Fan Xian, am at least a scholar. How could I possibly not respect Mr. Zhuang?"
