Chapter 38: Oath and Allegiance (6)
"Why not chase?"
"I can't catch up anyway, so I don't want to chase him."
To be honest, sometimes Zhao Ziheng also doubted who Wang Ye was. Not only was he very secretive, but he also seemed to be able to analyze everything thoroughly and do everything decisively and directly. It was this person who had saved him from the brink of death twice and helped him time and time again. After knowing his identity, he never asked anything of him and had no interest in fame, wealth or status. So why would such a person help him?
Zhao Ziheng knew very well that as long as Wang Ye was willing, he could easily obtain power and status, but he lived in seclusion for many years on a sparsely populated and remote island. It seemed that Wang Ye did not want to get involved in the outside world. However, such a peaceful life was destroyed by the two people he saved. All the islanders except him were ruthlessly wiped out by Zhou Yan, and Zhao Ziheng was also rescued by him on the verge of death. At first, she just wanted to take care of his injuries, but later, somehow, when she noticed it, she naturally followed Zhao Ziheng.
Fate is really an amazing thing. Zhao Ziheng chuckled. It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand it. There is no need to go into it in depth. At least Zhao Ziheng can feel that Wang Ye has no ill will towards him. As long as he knows this, Zhao Ziheng has never thought of doubting it.
"why are you laughing?"
"Nothing, I just think fate is really amazing—"
Wang Ye, who was always able to immediately understand what the other party meant, was completely confused by what Zhao Ziheng blurted out this time . This was the first time this had happened.
"emperor--!"
At this time, Lin Junhao came with a group of guards. It was the patrol soldiers who discovered the sound of fighting here. Lin Junhao immediately led the soldiers to protect the emperor, as if there was no need for them to show up at all, as the assassins had all been dealt with.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us for being late in coming to your rescue!"
"Forget it, let's lock them all up first and interrogate them after they wake up."
"yes!"
"Wait a moment!"
Lin Junhao was about to get up and execute the order when Wang Ye stopped him. Lin Junhao knew that Wang Ye and Zhao Ziheng had a special relationship, so when he didn't know what to do , Lin Junhao first looked at Zhao Ziheng, as if to ask for his opinion. Zhao Ziheng didn't say anything, but just looked at Wang Ye. Wang Ye ignored his position and acted casually in front of Zhao Ziheng, stepped forward and lifted the assassin's clothes, and sure enough...
"What's wrong?"
Wang Ye's behavior caught Zhao Ziheng's attention, and he walked towards Wang Ye. On the chest of the assassin whose clothes Wang Ye had lifted, there was a clear blue-black wolf mark engraved...
"This is--"
Zhao Ziheng opened his eyes wide and became serious. He didn't expect that the Black Wolf, whom he had just learned about from Wang Ye not long ago, would now appear in front of him.
Wang Ye turned his head cautiously and seriously to look at the other three assassins. He thought they would have the same result, so he didn't bother to look. He stood up and said to Zhao Ziheng: "Things seem to be getting more and more complicated. Now it seems that they have also set their sights on you——"
Zhao Ziheng understood the meaning, so there was no need for Wang Yeming to explain. However, Lin Junhao and others looked confused.
Afterwards, after dealing with the assassin, Zhao Ziheng talked to Wang Ye alone again...
"Why do you think they would assassinate me?"
"I have no idea."
Zhou Yan alone couldn't find any clues, and now he suddenly tried to assassinate Zhao Ziheng, so it was even more impossible to know the reason. However, they all insisted that the other party's target was Zhao Ziheng, and they would never think that there was any other story behind it.
"Black Wolf? It seems like he's really not that simple—"
Just hearing about their assassination attempt on Zhou Yan made him feel that they were not simple people. After this fight, Zhao Ziheng was even more certain of this. They were completely not on the same level as the assassins he had encountered before. If he was not careful, he would easily lose his life.
"If the enemy is targeting you, it will be very disadvantageous. Please strengthen your defense and pay more attention. If the opponent is them, I am afraid that if you are distracted for a moment, you will die in their hands."
"I know that without you telling me."
Although he brought some guards, it seems that his guards are still a little behind the well-trained assassins of the top assassin organizations. In addition, he is in Zhou State. Even if he wants to strengthen the defense, he can't just add more people at will. He really has no choice, and...
"Brother Wang, why are you helping me like this? I really can't think of any reason. If you hadn't saved Shu'er and me, the Fish Island where you live wouldn't have suffered a catastrophic disaster. You could say that we were the ones who indirectly brought destruction to you. I really can't think of any reason for you to help me."
Finally, the story was revealed. This was what had always puzzled Zhao Ziheng. Why did Wang Ye help him so much? Did he want to use him to avenge Zhou Yan? Judging from his behavior towards Zhou Yan, it didn't seem to be the case. So, did he want to use him to achieve some purpose?
"You seem to still be wary of me?"
Wang Ye was not dissatisfied with what Zhao Ziheng said. He knew it was normal. He originally thought that time would allow Zhao Ziheng to believe him. However, now problems came one after another. No wonder Zhao Ziheng would have some ideas.
In fact, Zhao Ziheng was struggling in his heart. He also knew that he shouldn't ask these questions at this time, so he couldn't face Wang Ye's question and turned away from him.
"I just want to do what I can as a friend of Brother Li. Since Brother Li regards me as a friend, it is only natural for me to stick my neck out for my friend. Just consider it a promise I made to Brother Li. As long as Brother Li still regards me as a confidant, I will do my best to help you!"
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Zhao Ziheng quickly turned his head to look at Wang Ye. When he shifted his gaze over, Wang Ye had already left his seat and knelt on one knee to kowtow to him...
"As a friend, I will help you, but as the emperor, I want to swear my loyalty to you. From now on, as long as you need me, I will always be by your side and listen to your orders, my lord! Do you have any questions? My king!"
Wang Ye's words deeply moved Zhao Ziheng. He never expected that one day he would hear these words from Wang Ye and accept the highest etiquette of Wang Ye's swearing of allegiance to him. Not only that, Wang Ye also implemented the oath between his friends and confidants and the oath of allegiance to himself as an emperor at the same time, which is the so-called coexistence of oath and allegiance. Seeing Wang Ye's actions, Zhao Ziheng was speechless.
