Chapter 1474: The Wind Is Howling, but There Is Still a Long Way to Go as Long as You Are Alive

Inspection Institute!

After Chen Pingping came back from the palace, he began to issue tasks. The entire inspection institute was in motion, but he himself hid alone.

"There's something wrong with your appearance. Did you notice something?"

The shadow came out of the darkness and asked Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair and looking at the wild flowers in the corner.

Chen Pingping said quietly: "Zhou Chen did not lie to me, and my previous guess was also correct. The grand master in the palace is not Hong Sixiang, but His Majesty."

"confirmed?"

"Well, I just met him. His condition is very bad. He was injured and even his left eye is blind. The one who can hurt him must be Zhou Chen. It seems that in that battle, even if there are three pairs One, winning is not that easy.”

Shadow's mood fluctuated and he asked: "Zhou Chen, are you dead?"

Chen Pingping said: "That's what he said, and now he has issued a decree to eliminate the Zhen Guogong Party. Zhou Chen must be dead."

Only Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun knew whether Zhou Chen was dead or not. Even if the inspection agency had access to everything, there was no way to explore this information.

"What a pity."

Shadow sighed deeply. He admired Zhou Chen very much, not only because Zhou Chen helped him as a sparring partner before, but also because of Zhou Chen as a person.

For such a genius to die like this is simply a loss to the martial arts world.

"It's a pity. After all, he is still too young. He is young and frivolous and is prone to unnecessary trouble."

Chen Pingping also felt regretful, but he was much more rational. He acknowledged Zhou Chen's talent and power, but he also felt that he should be more low-key. Sometimes Zhou Chen was too high-profile and arrogant, which was why he was so hostile to Emperor Qing, and even set up a trap. Kill the game.

"Dean, Fan Xian is here and wants to see you."

"Fan Xian? Let him come over."

Chen Pingping smiled and said to Shadow: "What happened today seems like he can't sit still."

Shadow said: "It's strange. I remember that Fan Xian had a good relationship with Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen even helped him. Such a big thing happened this time, and given his character, there was no movement at all. It's really a bit abnormal. ”

"It's really not in line with his character, but I can probably guess what happened. It should be Fan Jian who stopped him. The Tiger Guard was formed by Fan Jian. Although it is directly under His Majesty, he must have noticed that His Majesty called the Tiger Guard. , he definitely doesn’t want Fan Xian to be involved in such a big thing as ambushing Zhou Chen.”

Chen Pingping knew both Fan Jian and Fan Xian very well. He knew that Fan Xian must want to do something, but Fan Jian would definitely not let him do it.

From a rational and results perspective, Fan Xian should indeed do nothing at this time, but... if it were Ye Qingmei, she would definitely do something.

While Chen Pingping was thinking about this, Fan Xian walked in.

"Dean, Lord Shadow."

"Fan Xian."

Chen Pingping waved to Fan Xian and asked, "Are you here about Duke Zhen's affairs?"

Fan Xian asked with a serious face: "Dean, I want to know what is going on? I have met Duke Zhen Guo several times, and he may be a bit unruly, but if you say he is treason, I will never believe him. There’s no reason to do that.”

Chen Pingping looked at him calmly: "You said it was impossible for him to treason, but His Majesty said he committed an assassination. It seems that you also think that the Duke of Zhenguo may do such a thing."

Fan Xian choked up: "I don't know, but I am sure that he would not choose today. He cares very much about the eldest princess of Northern Qi. He will never do such a thing on his wedding day to the eldest princess of Northern Qi. Yes It’s not that Your Majesty wanted to get rid of Duke Zhenguo, so..."

"Shut up."

Chen Pingping interrupted Fan Xian and reprimanded him very dissatisfied: "Why don't you have a long memory? Can you say such nonsense? What is the truth? Is it important? What matters is His Majesty's attitude and will. If you want to become a powerful minister, You have to pay attention to your words; I know you get along well with Duke Zhen, but you have to remember that Duke Zhen is finished. His Majesty is now cleaning up Duke Zhen’s party. It will be spring soon. Don’t put yourself in trouble. Get involved."

"But……"

"No but, I know you are unwilling to give in, but even a great master like Duke Zhen will die. Do you think you are stronger than him?"

Chen Pingping's question left Fan Xian speechless. Yes, he is not as strong as Zhou Chenqiang. He can achieve his current status and reputation only because of his elders and his status as the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing. Otherwise, even if he had a previous life 'There is absolutely no way that my memory could be as good as it is now.

But after being in contact with him for such a long time, he already had a lot of understanding of Emperor Qing's temperament. Even if he was Emperor Qing's illegitimate son, if one day he touched Emperor Qing's evil side, I'm afraid Emperor Qing would never do it. Because he is his son, he will spare his life.

Fan Xian walked out of the inspection institute in a daze, and Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing immediately greeted him.

"Sir, did the dean say anything?"

"No, the dean asked me not to worry about it anymore and not to ask any more questions."

Both Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing's expressions changed slightly: "What about Duke Zhenguo?"

"Maybe already..."

Fan Xian didn't finish speaking, but Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing understood what he meant, and their expressions suddenly became very ugly.

"How is it possible? Duke Zhenguo is a great master, an invincible great master. How is it possible..."

Teng Zijing shouted in disbelief. He really didn't believe that Zhou Chen died like this. He didn't even have time to repay Zhou Chen.

"Teng Zijing..."

Fan Xian wanted to persuade him. He knew that Teng Zijing had always been grateful to Zhou Chen for saving his life and wanted to repay him. Now that he knew that Zhou Chen might be dead, he must be in a very bad mood.

Teng Zijing asked in confusion: "Why? Fan Xian, why do you say this? Why did His Majesty kill the Duke of Zhenguo? Why..."

"Teng Zijing."

Wang Qinian quickly covered Teng Zijing's mouth and scanned around with his small eyes. Fan Xian's face also became nervous.

"You can't say this, and you can't say it in the future."

Hearing Fan Xian's warning, Teng Zijing's face changed, and then he said dejectedly: "I know, Fan Xian, I want to go home first to see my wife and children."

"Go, stay at home for a few more days, and accompany my sister-in-law and nephew."

Fan Xian watched Teng Zijing leave with a worried look in his eyes.

Wang Qinian whispered, "Sir, don't worry. I think he just had a momentary thought. It's okay."

Fan Xian suddenly asked, "Old Wang, do you think His Majesty's approach is right?"

"This, this."

"Tell me the truth. What else do you want to pretend to me?"

"Sir, I think, no matter what, the Duke of Zhenguo can't assassinate the emperor and commit treason. Even if there is a problem, it is not a capital crime. Moreover, the Duke of Zhenguo is a great master. For our Qing country, he is a very important fighting force. It is not a good thing for our Qing country to be gone just like that. Moreover, the female relatives of the Duke of Zhenguo..."

Wang Qinian spoke very carefully, and it can be heard that he was indignant in his tone. Fan Xian didn't say anything, but just sighed.

"Old Wang, what do you think I can do now?"

"Nothing can be done. The dean is right. Whatever I do now is wrong. It is best to do nothing."

Fan Xian looked at the palace with a complicated look and sighed: "Yes, the power of the emperor is unpredictable. It is like living with a tiger."

"Sir, be careful with your words, be careful with your words."

…………

The prince, the second prince, the Qin family and other major forces in Kyoto were all shocked by the death of Zhou Chen. At the same time, they were also shocked by the means of Emperor Qing, which made them more afraid and vigilant of Emperor Qing.

The rise of the Duke of Zhenguo was too fast and too fierce, but the deterrent power was very great. However, no one expected that the Duke of Zhenguo, who was so powerful in Kyoto, would die so quickly, so fast that people could not keep up. He was celebrating his wedding the moment before, and he was gone the next moment.

Even those who were used to all kinds of absurd things in the officialdom felt sad about the death of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Everyone is smart. The so-called assassination of the emperor and treason is nothing more than a false and imposed crime. Emperor Qing just wants Zhou Chen to die.

Even the invincible grandmaster was killed, so everyone is naturally more afraid of the current Emperor Qing.

…………

In an uninhabited forest dozens of miles outside Kyoto, Zhou Chen sat cross-legged with wounds all over his body, trying to call on the only true energy in his body to heal himself.

Adding two attribute points to his physique, he slightly recovered some strength and true energy. He ran all the way here. After making sure there was no danger, he began to heal his wounds.

But in less than an hour, he opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

In this battle, he was indeed in a desperate situation. If he didn't have two attribute points, he would really die in the hands of Emperor Qing, and then he would have to consume a restart card.

Restarting the card has always been his most important means of saving his life. He has never used it before and dared not try it.

The importance of attribute points has been proven once again. The choice of keeping attribute points before is undoubtedly very correct. It can really save lives at critical moments.

His life was saved, but the two points of physical fitness added were not as good as healing his injuries. His injuries were too serious. It was his Ruyi Jin Qi that had a super healing effect. Otherwise, even if he added two points of physical fitness, it would be difficult for him to escape from Emperor Qing and support him until now.

With all the broken tendons in his body, he only used his Qi to protect the tendons of his legs for convenience. The other tendons were not restored at all. Even with the Ruyi Jin Qi, it would take a long time to heal, including the broken bones. It takes a long time to recover.

The most important thing is that the damage to the tendons and the damage to the Dantian caused his Qi realm to fall. According to his calculations, his Ruyi Jin Qi is extremely special and should be able to recover, but it will take at least several months to restore the cultivation of the Grandmaster.

"Li Yunqian, Ye Liuyun, and the temple, if you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman."

Zhou Chen's personality is not the kind of particularly strong, the type of the world, the only one who is the most superior, more of the kind of personality, if others do not offend me, I will not offend others, if others offend me, I will return tenfold.

This time, he almost died in the siege, this hatred is not to die, these three people, and the forces behind them, he will not let go.

Although angry, he can still restrain himself. The most important thing now is not to think about revenge, but to heal his wounds first.

He escaped, but his injuries were real. Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun may think that he will be in danger. If so, it is a good thing for him.

But he also knows that this kind of thing cannot be pinned on what others think. Even if Emperor Qing knows that the chance of his survival is not high, he will definitely try his best to find him. He wants to see him alive or dead.

So he can't relax now. The best choice is to disappear quickly and find a safe place to heal his wounds.

'However, before disappearing, there is one thing that must be done. ’

After all, he couldn't let go of Zhan Pianpian, Sang Wen and others. Hundreds of years had passed, but he still couldn't be cold-blooded and ruthless. He valued the people he cared about more than anything else.

His weakness was his love, but he couldn't change it now. Maybe he would change slowly in the future...

After recovering a little strength, Zhou Chen went in one direction. About two hours later, he came to a fishing village east of Kyoto and sneaked into a farmyard.

This was one of the safe houses he chose, and it was also the safe house that existed the longest and was closest to Kyoto.

But the safe house was not this farmyard, but under a well in the yard.

Zhou Chen did not alarm the woman in the house, but flashed and jumped into the wellhead, and then soon came to a dark room in the well.

At this time, there were only four people in the dark room, namely Sang Wen, Sun Yi, Tong Quan, and a farm man.

Zhou Chen's sudden appearance startled the four people. When they saw Zhou Chen clearly, they were all overjoyed.

"Young Master."

"Master."

"My Lord."

Sang Wen rushed over excitedly, and Sun Yi and the other two half-knelt to Zhou Chen.

"Get up. I'm relieved to see that you are all right."

Sang Wen saw Zhou Chen covered in blood and asked nervously: "Young Master, are you injured?"

Zhou Chen comforted: "Well, but don't worry, there is no danger to life. Sun Yi, where is He Qin?"

Sun Yi lowered his head in shame: "He Qin took people to rescue Her Royal Highness the Princess. We have lost contact. After arriving here, we dare not leave and can only hide here and wait."

Zhou Chen's expression changed slightly. Originally, he was most worried about Zhan Pianpian, because there was a secret passage arranged by him in Zhou Mansion. In addition to him, only Sun Yi knew about it, so there would be no problem in escaping.

But the situation at the posthouse was different. Emperor Qing must have made full preparations long ago. He didn't know how many people were ambushed. Although the highest combat power of Qing Kingdom was all focused on him, he didn't need too much combat power to deal with the posthouse. It was all about the crowd, which was a huge trouble.

In that situation, he couldn't get away. Although he asked all the star guards to go, he was still worried, so he asked Shadow to take the letter to Chen Pingping.

He felt that Chen Pingping had reason to help and should help, but he was not 100% sure whether he would take action.

Now that he confirmed that everything was fine here, he was most worried about Zhan Pianpian and He Qin and others at the posthouse.
