Chapter 1,476 Everything is ready, murderous intent in the Hanging Temple
Chapter 1478 Everything is ready, murderous intent in the Hanging Temple
Fan Xian soon learned about the disappearance of Zhan Pianpian and He Qin.
Zhan Pianpian has been staying in Baoyue Building for a while. He was worried at the beginning, but then gradually became more at ease, but he kept watching cautiously.
Zhan Pianpian suddenly disappeared today, which really shocked him, and he immediately went to the inspection institute to look for Chen Pingping.
"Dean, the eldest princess of Northern Qi..."
Fan Xian saw Chen Pingping and was about to ask, but Chen Pingping answered first.
"She has left Baoyue Building."
Fan Xian's expression suddenly changed: "Someone picked her up, wasn't you, the dean?"
Chen Pingping said calmly: "I just owed a favor to save her life. Now that the deadline is up, she should naturally go where she should go."
Fan Xian looked at Chen Pingping in surprise: "I always feel that you, Dean, are hiding something from me. Could it be related to Duke Zhen Guo?"
Chen Pingping smiled and asked: "Why do you think so?"
Fan Xian said solemnly: "Although half a year has passed, there has been no news about Duke Zhen Guo, nor has he seen his body. Even many of the original guards and servants of Duke Zhen Guo's Mansion have disappeared. I have a reason
I wonder if Lord Zhenguo is not dead?"
"I don't know. Let me correct your mistake. Don't say the title Zhen Guo Gong again. It will only cause trouble."
Chen Pingping shook her head and said: "You and I are both ministers of the Qing Kingdom, and he is a rebellious minister of the Qing Kingdom. Even if he is not dead, there is no way he can come to see us."
"Not necessarily. He is a passionate person. The eldest princess of Northern Qi is very important to him. If he is still alive, there is no way he won't come looking for her. I think this is why you detained the eldest princess of Northern Qi, right?"
Fan Xian's mind is definitely smart. It has been so long. If Chen Pingping thinks about it, there are definitely many ways to safely send the Princess of Northern Qi out of Kyoto.
But he didn't do that and kept Zhan Pianpian in Baoyue Building. He would never believe it if he had no plans.
Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Don't think so bad of me. It's not that I don't want to send her away, but that she doesn't want to leave."
Of course Fan Xian would not believe it foolishly, but he did not say anything else. Chen Pingping was very tight-lipped, and it was obviously impossible to know more from him.
After leaving the inspection institute, he was still thinking about Zhan Pianpian's disappearance on the way. He always felt a little uneasy in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.
"Sir, we just don't care about Her Highness the Princess's affairs?"
In addition to Fan Xian, those who know about Zhan Pianpian also include Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing. Now that Zhan Pianpian has disappeared, Teng Zijing seems more anxious.
He was unable to help Zhou Chen in the first place, and now Zhan Pianpian disappeared under their protection, which made him, who always had a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, very anxious.
Fan Xian rubbed his eyebrows: "The dean must know something, but he doesn't want to say it, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Wang Qinian asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that Her Royal Highness the Princess did not leave on her own, but was taken away by someone. Who is it?"
Fan Xian was surprised: "You think so too?"
"Sir, I'm just guessing. Look, Her Royal Highness is being guarded by He Qin, a ninth-grade swordsman, but there is no sign of a fight there, so they must have gone with someone they trust. Now
There are not many people they can trust, either Dean Chen or that person."
Teng Zijing also reacted at this time. He exclaimed: "Zhen..."
Fan Xian and Wang Qinian took action at the same time and covered his mouth.
"Shh, shh, shh."
Duke Zhou Chen is now a forbidden word in Kyoto, and no one dares to mention it publicly.
"If that person is really back, then..."
Fan Xian's face was filled with worry. He knew that Zhou Chen was not a coward. Last time he was almost tricked to death by Emperor Qing, and the Zhou mansion was confiscated by Emperor Qing again. So many people died, so it was impossible for Zhou Chen not to take revenge.
If Zhou Chen really comes back, Kyoto may soon become a place of right and wrong.
…………
In a village outside Kyoto, Zhou Chen brought Zhan Pianpian and He Qin here.
"My lord."
When Tong Quan, Ge Sanniang, Luo Xingfeng and others saw Zhou Chen arriving, they immediately saluted, and then saluted Zhan Pianpian.
"I've met the mistress."
Although Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian's wedding was ruined by Emperor Qing, to Zhou Chen's subordinates, Zhan Pianpian was Zhou Chen's wife and their mistress.
After that day, not many people survived the court roundup. Tong Quan also escaped from the secret passage with Sun Yi and Sang Wen. However, he did not know martial arts and was worried that he would drag Sun Yi and Sang Wen down, so
Let Sun Yi escort Sang Wen away first, while he evacuates alone.
Because of his cleverness and familiarity with Kyoto, he was lucky enough to avoid the court's search, and finally escaped outside Kyoto and joined Ge Sanniang and the others.
In half a year, they changed their bases several times, but they were always safe and sound.
Tong Quan was asked to take Zhan Pianpian to settle down, while Zhou Chen took Ge Sanniang, Luo Xingfeng and He Qin to an uninhabited land.
Ge Sanniang immediately reported: "My lord, I have already inquired clearly. In four days, Emperor Qing will hold a chrysanthemum appreciation meeting at the Xuankong Temple. At that time, most of the officials in Kyoto will go to the Xuankong Temple. The person responsible for protecting this time is the Ye family.
Ye Chong."
Zhou Chen nodded, and then said to He Qin: "He Qin, you go with me that day."
He Qin showed a cruel smile: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
He fought bloody hard that day before he and Shadow rescued Zhan Pianpian. In order to protect them, almost all the brothers around him suffered heavy casualties. He has never forgotten it, but he needed to protect Zhan Pianpian and had no chance to take revenge.
Now that the opportunity finally came, he couldn't wait.
Luo Xingfeng has been responsible for intelligence work outside Kyoto and has not been in Kyoto all year round, so he did not encounter what happened that day. Although the intelligence network he was responsible for was also purged by the Qing Dynasty court, the losses were minimal.
He also learned about Zhou Chen and had just arrived here not long ago.
"Lord, during your absence, our people have been contacted by the eldest princess Li Yunrui. She also sent a message to her subordinates, wanting us to switch to her sect, but the subordinates did not reply to her; now
She is in Kyoto, and she sent a message before to meet with her subordinates."
Zhou Chen was not surprised by this. Li Yunrui, a woman with great ambitions and means, was not surprised to know part of his intelligence network.
I'm afraid she also thought that she was dead, so she wanted to receive his 'inheritance' and take advantage of it.
"Don't worry about this woman. Once the problem is solved this time, I am going to let you slowly shift your focus to Northern Qi. The Qing Kingdom will soon be in turmoil."
He stayed in Qingguo before because Zhou's roots were in Qingguo, but after what happened last time, he was no longer prepared to stay in Qingguo. Most of the people close to him, including his children, were
In Qi State.
It just so happened that this time we were more thorough and shifted our focus to Qi.
Although Ge Sanniang and Luo Xingfeng were a little surprised, they were not surprised. Now their master was already a 'rebellious minister' of the Qing Kingdom, and he would attack Emperor Qing again soon. Naturally, the Qing Kingdom could not stay any longer and went to the Qi Kingdom.
It's a very good choice.
They are not worried about the future. Anyway, Zhou Chen is still alive. A great master, he might be more important in Qi than in Qing.
Qingguo Palace!
Emperor Qing opened his remaining right eye and stared coldly at Ye Liuyun in front of him.
"Has the arrangement over at the Hanging Temple been completed?"
Ye Liuyun said calmly: "The arrangements have been made, but His Majesty is so sure that someone will take action?"
Emperor Qing said calmly: "Waiting all the time is too passive. Sometimes you need to take the initiative. This Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference in the Xuankong Temple is a very good opportunity. No matter who wants to deal with me, they will seize this opportunity."
,especially……"
"Zhou Chen? With the character of this young man, if he had not died, he would not have let it go like this. But half a year has passed, is he really still alive?"
Even the two great masters, Ye Liuyun and Emperor Qing, could not guess whether Zhou Chen was still alive. The main reason was that they were participants in the original battle and knew the extent of Zhou Chen's injuries best.
Theoretically speaking, Zhou Chen could not still be alive, but the two of them always felt uneasy, so they stayed in Kyoto and watched each other.
Whether it was Emperor Qing or Ye Liuyun, the past six months had been very depressing for them.
As the king of a country and the lord of the world, Emperor Qing has always been afraid of others. Why should he be afraid of others?
Ye Liuyun also didn't want to stay in Kyoto, and didn't want to face Emperor Qing's stinky face, but with Zhou Chen's sharp blade hanging above his head, he simply couldn't be as idle as before.
So both of them wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible, so Emperor Qing just planned to use this Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference in the Hanging Temple to see if Zhou Chen was really still alive. If he was still alive, they had to settle it.
.
Mentioning Zhou Chen, Emperor Qing felt a dull pain in his left eye again, and uncontrollable murderous intent emerged.
His murderous intention towards Zhou Chen was greater than that towards other great masters, almost comparable to the murderous intention towards Ye Qingmei.
The existence of Ye Qingmei made him feel terrified. Her thoughts would shake his imperial power, and the terrifyingly lethal hidden weapon made him feel scared even as a grand master.
The same is true for Zhou Chen's existence. He disrespects the imperial power and the two of them have reasons to kill each other, so he also wants to get rid of Zhou Chen like he did Ye Qingmei.
Just using the method of getting rid of Ye Qingmei is ineffective against Zhou Chen. If you want to get rid of Zhou Chen, you still have to rely on strength.
For this Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference in the Xuankong Temple, he had planned it for a long time and was fully prepared. It was no worse than the last one on Zhou Chen’s wedding day.
But it was inevitable that this time, as long as Zhou Chen came alive, he would never let Zhou Chen escape again.
"I hope so."
Ye Liuyun does not have the same confidence as Emperor Qing. Zhou Chen escaped from the last fatal situation. If Zhou Chen is still alive and comes this time, there will be no other ties. If they want to kill Zhou Chen, they may be more difficult than
It's more difficult at one time.
Last time, it was calculated mentally but not intentionally. If Zhou Chen comes this time, he will definitely be fully prepared and will never be as passive as last time.
A few days passed by in a flash, and soon it was the day of the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference.
On this day, there was a bustle of people inside and outside Kyoto. Many people set out from Kyoto to go to the Hanging Temple. The official road was full of carriages and pedestrians, and the motorcade stretched for more than ten miles.
Fan Xian also brought Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing to the Xuankong Temple, but he did not want to join in the fun.
"Sir, we really don't want to go up and admire the chrysanthemums?"
"You want to go up? What kind of flowers can you see if you stand so high?"
"Didn't you say that something might happen today?"
On the way here, the three of them had a discussion about today's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference. They happened to meet Ye Chong again before, so they all felt a little uneasy.
Fan Xian said leisurely: "It would be best if no accident happens. If an accident does happen, or is it what we thought, what do you think the three of us can do if we go up there?"
Wang Qinian stopped talking. He was one of the best at escaping, but he was not good at fighting.
But Teng Zijing said honestly: "Go up and help."
"Then if that person comes, who will you help?"
"Of course I will help..."
Teng Zijing couldn't tell. He didn't like Emperor Qing very much. Zhou Chen was his savior. If the two sides really wanted to fight, who would he help?
As he was talking, he suddenly discovered that the building on the other side of the Hanging Temple was actually on fire and smoking. Fan Xian couldn't sit still anymore and quickly jumped up from the carriage and rushed straight to the Hanging Temple.
Teng Zijing was about to follow, but was held back by Wang Qinian.
"With our little strength, let's not go up and cause trouble." She said and winked at him.
Teng Zijing understood what Wang Qinian meant, but as Fan Xian's bodyguard, he did not hesitate. He shook off Wang Qinian's hand and quickly chased after him. However, his lightness was not as good as Fan Xian's and he was quickly thrown away.
distance.
Wang Qinian looked at this scene and couldn't help but shake his head. He felt that the Xuankong Temple must not be peaceful today, and he didn't want to go up and join in the fun.
"Sir, please don't be impulsive."
On the top of the cliff above the Hanging Temple, Zhou Chen sat on a stone, looking at the fire from a distance, and said with a smile: "Chen Pingping was sure that I would take action, and she deliberately made such a small move."
"How about it, are you ready?"
A man with a stereotyped and cold appearance stood next to Zhou Chen, both of them concealing their auras in the same way.
"It's already been prepared."
Si Gu Jian said coldly that according to his character, he could just rush over and kill him. There was no need to hide like this. However, Zhou Chen also said that this time his opponent was unusual. Out of his belief in Zhou Chen, he also
So he obeyed Zhou Chen's arrangement.
"That's good, the staff is already in place, it's time for us to take the stage."
"There's so much nonsense, Emperor Qing, leave it to me."
"If you can kill him, it's yours. If you can't kill him, leave it to me. I've always felt that just killing him would be too cheap for him. I have to give him some strength."
Zhou Chen slowly stood up from the ground, patted the dust on his hands, and his eyes seemed to penetrate the distance and landed on the top of the Hanging Temple, where Emperor Qing was already in place.
