Chapter 254 Zhou Heng's Plan to Turn the Tables
"Hehe, no rush. There's still some time before this old man goes to Andu. We should discuss this matter at length."
After Zhou Shixun finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Heng and thought to himself, "Say what you're thinking, don't be like a block of wood all day."
Zhou Heng noticed that Zhou Shixun was staring at him.
He instantly understood that his father wanted to see what he thought.
I'd better make a good impression, since I'm the one who will inherit the throne in the future.
If he performs poorly, and his father, being in his prime, thinks he's finished and then trains a smaller version of himself, that would be troublesome.
Although he had some imperial brothers, he regarded them as good-for-nothings and was not afraid of them.
But who knew that the smaller version would be inferior to itself?
After thinking for a moment, he immediately stood up.
"Father, sworn brother, why don't we turn the tables on them?"
"Oh, tell me more about it." Zhou Shixun shifted slightly after listening and said to Zhou Heng.
“Their target is me; they simply want to use me to threaten my father. So I will venture into the lion’s den and pretend to be captured by them.”
“After they catch me, Zhou Shi…that Chi Yanfei will definitely bring me to the capital.”
"At that time, once he enters the capital, he will be trapped and unable to escape."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen realized that Zhou Heng intended to use him as bait to lure the entire Tongtian Divine Sect into the capital so that they could be wiped out in one fell swoop.
But wouldn't doing this put yourself in danger?
If Chi Yanfei doesn't play by the rules and kills him in a fit of anger halfway through, then Zhou Shixun will have to create a new account.
As soon as Zhou Heng finished speaking, Zhou Shixun immediately interrupted: "This is inappropriate, too dangerous."
"Father, the Tongtian Divine Sect is too mysterious. If we don't wipe them out completely, the entire palace and the entire Great Xia Dynasty will be in constant turmoil. As a prince, it's worth taking this risk!"
After Zhou Heng finished speaking, he knelt down in front of Zhou Shixun.
He has an arrogant, domineering air about him, as if he won't get up unless he agrees.
Zhou Shixun looked at Zhou Heng kneeling on the ground and nodded in satisfaction.
In fact, he was certain that Zhou Shiji would not kill Zhou Heng. If the girl was indeed the child from back then, it meant that Zhou Shiji still had a shred of humanity.
At least in his anger back then, he didn't kill the child or threaten him.
He knew what Zhou Shiji wanted, and he also valued his life very much. If he really killed Zhou Heng...
He should have realized that there was nowhere for him to stay in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, and all his efforts over the years would have been in vain.
After a moment's thought, Zhou Shixun nodded: "Get up. That's fine, but you must be fully prepared."
After saying that, he turned to look at Chu Chen: "Chu boy, what magical item do you have that can guarantee your sworn brother's safety to the greatest extent?"
This is outrageous! It seems the father and son were just putting on an act.
They had already planned their strategy, and then put on a show in front of me to steal my things.
What should I give you?
A pistol? You shouldn't take that out unless absolutely necessary; it's your only means of survival.
Hand grenades, they've seen those before, should we bring them a few for self-defense?
A stab-proof vest would be a good idea, and a helmet would probably need to be paired with a large hat.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen stood up and said, "Brother, you are so righteous. For the sake of the stability of the Great Xia and the peaceful life of the people, you have actually risked your life. I admire you. Please wait a moment."
After saying that, he walked out of the imperial study and headed straight for his carriage.
He got into the car, closed the door, and with a wave of his hand, a stab-proof vest, a helmet, and four grenades appeared in his hand.
After thinking for a while, a switchblade appeared in his hand.
But Chu Chen didn't expect this knife to be of much use.
As long as Chi Yanfei isn't an idiot, he'll most likely search Zhou Heng after capturing him.
There's no way to hide a dark thing like a grenade.
Let's give him the stab-proof vest and helmet first. The rest won't be of much use to him, and he might even blow himself up.
So he put down the grenade, picked up his other things, and turned back into the Imperial Study.
“Uncle Zhou, sworn brother, this is called a stab-proof vest. As the name suggests, it is difficult for swords and knives to pierce it.”
"This is called a switchblade. When it's folded up, it looks ordinary, but it can be used to kill enemies unexpectedly."
"And this is called a helmet, which can protect your head."
Chu Chen laid out the items in the Imperial Study and introduced them to them one by one.
"Oh, this can protect against knives and swords?" Zhou Shixun asked, reaching out to grab the police-issue soft stab-proof vest.
This piece is entirely black, but it feels light in the hand, indicating that it is not made of steel.
Then he picked up the bulletproof helmet next to him.
"This hat is really well made."
Helpless, Chu Chen walked over and picked up the switchblade on the table.
With the push of a switch, a blade suddenly extends.
He then took the knife and stabbed it into the stab-proof vest.
After stabbing Zhou Shixun and Zhou Heng multiple times, Chu Chen put away the knife and placed the stab-proof vest in front of them.
"Uncle Zhou, what do you think of the effect?"
After carefully examining the stab-proof vest, Zhou Shixun laughed and said, "Chuwazi, with this magical item, Lao Ba will be much safer."
"Uncle Zhou, these are external things after all, and they can't provide true security."
"I think we should ask the Taoist priest to go with us. That way, if we encounter any special circumstances, we can stop them in time."
Zhou Shixun nodded after hearing this.
He turned to Zhou Heng and said, "I will have Master Zhu follow behind you and protect you in secret."
"Chuwazi, how about you and Daoist Qingxuan also go to Andu?"
After giving instructions to Zhou Heng, Zhou Shixun turned to look at Chu Chen.
Chu Chen thought to himself that he would always be involved in dangerous situations.
Although Zhou Shixun seemed indifferent to Zhou Heng's trip to Andu, he was actually extremely concerned.
On the surface, Chi Yanfei appears to have only one expert by his side: the fourth young lady.
But who knows if he has any other tricks up his sleeve?
“My sworn brother is risking his life, I must go with him no matter what, otherwise I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace.”
Chu Chen spoke earnestly to Zhou Heng, which moved Zhou Heng deeply.
He thought to himself, "With such a sworn brother, what more could I ask for!"
After discussing the matter, Chu Chen bid farewell to Zhou Shixun and Zhou Heng.
If we were to go to Andu, we would go secretly. If we drove in in a big way, wouldn't that be sending a message to Chi Yanfei?
Before leaving, Zhou Shixun repeatedly emphasized that they should not hurt the young lady and should try their best to ensure that she arrived in the capital unharmed.
After leaving the Imperial Study, he greeted Chen Qingxuan outside and then drove towards his residence in the capital.
Having received news that Chu Chen was coming to the capital, Chu Yi, along with Feng Wu and the others, was waiting in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Chu Chen's car approaching from afar, the group immediately stood up and went to greet it at the entrance.
"Uncle Feng, how have you been lately?"
