Chapter 1,467: On the great day, Emperor Qing’s decisive attack
Chapter 1469 On the great day, Emperor Qing’s decisive attack
February 18th!
This season, the weather has gradually warmed up, and today is the wedding day of Zhou Chen, the Duke of Qingguo Town, and Zhan Pianpian, the eldest princess of Northern Qi.
Zhou Chen had already gotten up in the early morning, and Sang Wen also didn't sleep. Instead, he helped Zhou Chen bathe and change clothes.
Although there are maids and servants at home, most things about Zhou Chen are now sorted out by Sang Wen himself.
Today was the day when her beloved man got married to another woman, but she didn't feel sad at all. Instead, she was equally happy.
The most important thing for a person is to be able to recognize himself, and Sang Wen is a woman with this kind of wisdom. She knows who she is, and she is satisfied if she can be favored by Zhou Chen. She has never thought about getting more.
, she just thought wholeheartedly that as long as Zhou Chen could always be well and could keep her by his side, she would be satisfied.
She even hopes that Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian will get married soon, because only after they get married can she really become Zhou Chen's concubine.
Although she is willing to stay with Zhou Chen if she has no name and no status, if she can have a name, she is willing to be a concubine. At least it is much better than being without a name and no status.
After meeting Zhou Chen, she had no other thoughts and just wanted to stay by Zhou Chen's side.
Sang Wen, who was arranging Zhou Chen's clothes, said with a bright smile: "Young Master looks really good today."
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, not to mention that Zhou Chen is already very good-looking, but in her eyes, there is no better-looking man in the world than Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, not at all. If I could, I would be willing to help the young master dress and tidy up for the rest of my life."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Then you have to remember this sentence."
Sang Wen responded softly: "Yes."
Time passed bit by bit, and the sky gradually turned from dark to dim and bright.
The Chinese wedding custom since ancient times has been to welcome the bride in the morning and hold the wedding ceremony at dusk.
The same is true in this 'future era'. Zhou Chen needs to set off from the mansion in the early morning and go to the post house to welcome the bride Zhan Pianpian to the mansion. At dusk, the wedding ceremony will be performed, and finally she will be sent to the bridal chamber to complete the wedding.
The wedding team in the mansion has been prepared for a long time. As soon as the auspicious time arrives, the wedding team will set off immediately under the leadership of Zhou Chen.
As the Duke of Qing, although Zhou Chen did not serve in the imperial court, as someone with the highest title of a different surname, he still married a princess from another country, and Emperor Qing ordered it.
Therefore, the specifications of this wedding are top-notch, whether it is the team, wedding supplies, guests, etc., it is very high-profile.
Zhou Chen's Zhenguo Gong's Mansion is not far from the post house, but it needs to pass through several streets, and the queue to welcome the bride is very long, so the speed of movement will naturally be slow.
Because the wedding route of the two people had already been decided, people from the court had already been responsible for clearing the road. When the wedding procession passed by, there would be no one in the middle of the road.
Class privileges in feudal society were not just talk, but a real existence.
Today, there were many people gathered around the post house, most of them came to watch the fun.
Although Zhou Chen rarely participates in those lively occasions, this time it was a wedding event, so he sent invitations to some of the dignitaries in Kyoto who he had dealt with.
Fan Mansion, Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing all came to Fan Xian's yard.
"Sir, you must go to the Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion today to attend the wedding of Zhen Guo Gong and the Princess of Northern Qi. I will go with you then."
Wang Qinian said to Fan Xian with a happy face.
Teng Zijing stared at the invitation in Wang Qinian's hand with a look of jealousy and envy on his face, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
"The Duke of Zhen will actually send you a message. How can you be so proud?"
Wang Qinian clapped the post in his hand very proudly, with a smile on his face.
"That's what the relationship between me and Duke Zhen was like. We were..."
"Okay, Lao Wang, please stop bragging. You just led the way for Duke Zhen, and you also took money from them. How many times do you have to say this?"
Fan Xian couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian had told them five, six, seven or nine times about guiding Zhou Chen, and his ears were calloused.
"Sir, that's not what you said. Look, isn't the Duke of Zhen Guo sending me an invitation? This is called friendship."
Wang Qinian felt that his feet were starting to feel trembling. This was an invitation from the Duke of Zhen. No one could get it. However, he was just a clerk from the Inspection Institute, but he could make Zhou Chen remember it and send him an invitation.
,How much face is this.
Although he thinks money is the most important thing, sometimes it is also very good to have face.
"Look, sir, doesn't Teng Zijing not have one?"
Teng Zijing, who was already angry, swung his clothes and fired several flying knives at Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian smiled and dodged the slow flying knives.
"Hey, you can't hit me."
Fan Xian stopped Wang Qinian: "Old Wang, don't be poor. Duke Zhen Guo invited you, so you probably didn't forget to prepare a gift, right?"
Hearing this, Wang Qinian's face felt painful, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I have spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to prepare a gift. Sir, you have to give me a salary, otherwise you will accept it.
In the next few months, my Baba couldn’t even eat pork belly.”
Teng Zijing snorted coldly: "Old Wang, you are so shameless."
"Hey, thanks for the compliment."
…………
In the East Palace, the prince had already gotten up and was having breakfast when his subordinates came to report.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Duke Zhen has already gone out to welcome the bride."
"Have all the gifts I asked you to prepare ready been packed?"
"Already installed."
"Well, watch the time and don't delay."
In the second prince's residence, the second prince is also paying attention to the situation in the Zhou Mansion, and he is even more concerned about it.
Now he and Fan Xian have completely fallen out with each other, and they even have the idea of killing each other, so at this time, he is the one who wants to win over Zhou Chen the most.
Zhou Chen himself is the Grand Master and the person he is trying to win over. Now Zhou Chen is getting married to the Princess of Northern Qi. If he can have a good relationship with Zhou Chen and get Zhou Chen's support, it will be of great significance.
Maybe even Northern Qi can become his arm.
Lin Ruofu was also planning to go to the Zhou Mansion. He didn't have much friendship with Zhou Chen, but they had some interactions, so he would naturally go to Zhou Chen's wedding.
There are also many dignitaries in Kyoto. Even if they did not receive the invitation, many of them shamelessly went to the Zhou Mansion with gifts.
Inspection Institute.
Chen Pingping was sitting in a wheelchair, watering the flowers in the corner, while Shadow stood next to him and waited.
"The congratulatory gift was delivered to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion?"
"It's already been sent to you. Do you really want to go?"
Chen Pingping shook her head and said: "It's such a happy day for others. Why would I, an old and disabled person, go there? I won't go."
At this moment, Yan Ruohai suddenly ran over in a hurry, holding a piece of paper in his hand.
"Dean."
When Chen Pingping saw Yan Ruohai's solemn expression, she also stopped what she was doing.
"What happened?"
Yan Ruohai said in a deep voice: "Information from two hours ago revealed Ye Liuyun's whereabouts thirty miles away from Kyoto."
Chen Pingping's back suddenly straightened up and she asked urgently: "Ye Liuyun, are you sure?"
"Sure." Yan Ruohai answered with certainty.
Chen Pingping's expression suddenly became very strange, her brows were knitted together, and she fell into deep thought.
Shadow was also very shocked: "Grand Master Ye Liuyun, he hasn't been back to Kyoto for many years. Hasn't he been traveling outside? How could he suddenly return to Kyoto at this time and be discovered by people from the Inspection Institute?"
Chen Pingping's face suddenly changed, and she shouted to Shadow eagerly: "Shadow, are you going to find Duke Zhen and tell him about Ye Liuyun's entry into the capital?"
Shadow was about to ask, but Chen Pingping didn't give him the chance.
"Go now, use the fastest speed, and be sure to notify Zhou Chen."
At this point, he suddenly paused again: "If you find that something cannot be done, don't hesitate to leave immediately and run as far as you can."
Seeing Chen Pingping's nervous tone, Shadow didn't bother to ask any questions. The figure shot out like a sharp arrow and quickly disappeared from the eyes of Chen Pingping and Yan Ruohai.
After the shadow left, Yan Ruohai asked solemnly: "Dean, do you think Ye Liuyun came to Kyoto for the sake of the Duke?"
Chen Pingping said: "I don't know, but Ye Liuyun didn't come back early or late, but he came back at this juncture. It's really unusual. But what's even more strange is that if Ye Liuyun wants to hide his traces, even if it's our inspection agency,
It’s also hard to spot him, which is weird.”
"But no matter what, it's right to tell the Duke of Zhenguo. I just hope it's not as complicated as I thought."
Having said that, Yan Ruohai couldn't see the tension in Chen Pingping's eyes, and even his hands were clasped together.
As the groom's official, Zhou Chen naturally has to ride a tall horse and walk at the front of the procession when welcoming the bride.
Suddenly, as he was riding on the horse, his expression changed slightly, and then a black shadow flew past him, and there was a note in his hand.
When he saw the content on the note, his face suddenly became ugly, and then he shouted: "Stop."
The wedding team stopped one after another, and then everyone looked at Zhou Chen in confusion.
Zhou Chen did not explain immediately, but slowly closed his eyes, allowing himself to hold his breath and concentrate, and maximize his awareness of everything around him.
After a while, he opened his eyes and his expression became extremely solemn.
"Li Yunqian, I really underestimate you. Also, Ye Liuyun, you are really looking for death."
In fact, he had always been on guard against Qing Emperor Li Yunqian. He knew that the person Qing Emperor wanted to kill most was him, but he was just not sure and did not dare to take action.
He also knew that an ambitious man like Emperor Qing could not endure this forever, but he had been busy with his wedding recently, and Emperor Qing had been silent, so he never thought that Emperor Qing would be there before his wedding.
Take action against him.
There is also Ye Liuyun. They only met in Jiangnan last year. Although they did not express it clearly at that time, they had actually reached a consensus to maintain the triangular relationship between the three great masters of Qing Dynasty and maintain balance.
Only a short time had passed before Ye Liuyun changed. You didn't need to think about it to know that it was Emperor Qing who forced Ye Liuyun.
But even so, Ye Liuyun still chose to side with Emperor Qing, which meant that they became enemies.
Although this is the first time for him to reach the level of martial arts like a grand master, in one-on-one situations, he will never look down upon the other four grand masters and is confident that he can win.
But he also fought against the three great masters. Although it was not a life and death battle, he already had a premonition in his heart when he reached their level.
Fighting alone, a life and death battle, he was sure to kill Ye Liuyun, but facing Ku He and Si Gu Jian, he was not absolutely sure of winning. If he fought desperately to the end, even if he could survive, he would definitely be seriously disabled.
, because one of the two has super defense and the other is terrifying in lethality. It is impossible to win without paying the price.
He possesses super strong assassination ability, even entering the palace is a breeze, but Grand Master and ordinary warriors are two different concepts. If you want to kill the Grand Master by assassination, it is impossible to succeed.
It was precisely because he was not absolutely sure that although he had several confrontations with Emperor Qing, he never thought about having to trade life or death with Emperor Qing.
Emperor Qing is nothing, why should I trade my life with him?
But judging from the current situation, he made a mistake and underestimated Emperor Qing's determination to kill him.
It seems that Emperor Qing had already started making arrangements before he returned to Kyoto.
"Choosing this time is really insidious. He is worthy of being the number one Ninja Turtle in Qing Yunian. Not only can he endure, but he can also calculate."
At this point, Zhou Chen knew that he had no other choice. Emperor Qing chose this time because he was sure that he would not escape alone.
In fact, Emperor Qing was indeed right in his bet. Even if he faced the attack from two great masters at the same time, if he wanted to run away, Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun would definitely find it difficult to keep him.
But he couldn't leave Zhan Pianpian behind, nor could he leave the Zhou family behind. If he ran away, it would be impossible for someone like Emperor Qing to let Zhan Pianpian and the others go.
This is a conspiracy, Zhou Chen has no choice.
Since he had no choice, he didn't hesitate and made a decision in an instant.
"He Qin, go back home, take Sang Wen and Tong Quan with you, leave Kyoto through the secret passage, and go to the safe house. If I don't find you, you disappear and don't show up again."
"Master."
"Stop talking nonsense, go back now."
He Qin didn't know what happened, but when he saw Zhou Chen's tone, he knew something big had happened, so he immediately used all his energy to rush back.
Zhou Chen called another person over and explained a few words, and that person quickly left the wedding party.
He was more worried about Zhan Pianpian in the post house than Sang Wen and others in Zhou Mansion.
Because he stayed in the mansion, it was difficult for Emperor Qing to hide people around his mansion, but it was different in the post house. Without him, there would be countless people from Emperor Qing there.
Once Emperor Qing takes action, it will definitely be a decisive blow, and he will never let go of the opportunity to use Zhan Pianpian to threaten him, so he will send all the Thirty-Six Stars under his command and the Seventy-two Disha who have just been trained for more than a year.
Went to the post house to rescue Zhan Pianpian.
After Shadow sent the message to Zhou Chen, he did not leave far, but stood not far away, looking at this place.
Suddenly something flew over, startling him, and he hurriedly caught it. When he saw that it was red cloth, his expression suddenly changed, and then he stopped looking and left here as quickly as possible, heading towards the inspection institute.
Go in the direction.
"Given him this secret, Chen Pingping's character will not sit idly by and ignore it."
Now he couldn't escape, and all his men were sent out, but he still felt uneasy, so he asked Chen Pingping for help. After all, Chen Pingping could let the shadow come to deliver a message, and she would not be indifferent after seeing his message.
