Chapter 1477: The Shrewd Chen Pingping, the Couple Finally Meet
The sudden words startled both Chen Pingping and Shadow. Shadow's sword instantly appeared in his hand, and Chen Pingping unconsciously placed her hands on the handles of the wheelchair.
"How long has it been since we last met? You're not going to use a knife or a gun as soon as you meet, right?"
Another sentence sounded, and Chen Pingping and Shadow suddenly woke up and turned around suddenly to look behind them.
"Zhou Chen, are you still alive?"
The moment they saw Zhou Chen, even people like Chen Pingping from the city couldn't help but exclaim with disbelief on their faces.
Shadow was also shocked. He even forgot to put away the sword in his hand and just stared at Zhou Chen blankly.
Zhou Chen sat casually on the chair in the room.
"Why, Li Yunqian told you that I was dead, and you really believed it?"
Chen Pingping said: "I had a little suspicion at first, but you didn't show up for such a long time, so you have to believe it or not."
Shadow was even more shocked and said: "According to our investigation, three great masters besieged you that day, and you actually survived?"
"Who said that if I am besieged by the three great masters, I must die?"
Zhou Chen didn't explain much about their shock, and continued to ask: "My wife and He Qin were rescued by you, right?"
Chen Pingping smiled and replied: "Yes, you guessed it right, Her Royal Highness the Princess and your people were indeed rescued by us."
"Then where did you hide the person? I have searched all over your Chen Garden, even in the inspection courtyard."
Before coming here, he thought that these two places were the most likely, and the inspection agency was even more likely, but after searching, he found that there were none.
Chen Pingping said: "If we were in these two places, how could we hide it from that person's eyes and ears? The situation was critical that day and we couldn't leave Kyoto at all. Her Royal Highness the Princess hid in the inspection institute at first, but later I was sent to that person. According to the order of the emperor, the whole city was searched. In the process, I quietly moved them and now they are hiding in Baoyue Tower. "
"Baoyuelou?"
Zhou Chen suddenly looked surprised when he heard it was this place. This was an answer he had never expected.
"As far as I know, Baoyue Tower is now Fan Xian's property. Do you want me to inherit Fan Xian's affection by putting him there?"
Chen Pingping smiled slightly and said: "It kind of means that, but more importantly, Baoyue Tower is a very special place. Even you can't imagine that they would hide in Baoyue Tower, and it's hard for others to imagine."
"Fan Xian doesn't know either?"
"He didn't know it at first, but I told him later, but for safety reasons, I never let them leave Baoyue Tower."
"What if I don't show up?"
Facing Zhou Chen's question, Chen Pingping replied with a smile: "When it is completely safe, I will definitely contact Beiqi and send them to Beiqi, but isn't it better now? You are back in Kyoto, so you don't have to Thinking about that too much.”
Zhou Chen looked deeply at Chen Pingping. He never felt that his relationship with Chen Pingping was very good, and Chen Pingping must have thought the same.
They seem to be talking about speculation, but in fact, they are just using each other and their interests are mixed.
Chen Pingping would not trust anyone wholeheartedly except Ye Qingmei. Zhou Chen also had no trust in this old and cunning person who only had eyes for Fan Xian.
He even felt that Chen Pingping was not as good as Lin Ruofu, because Lin Ruofu valued interests and came and went, while Chen Pingping valued Ye Qingmei's son Fan Xian more than interests.
But at that time, the only person in Kyoto who had the ability to help was Chen Pingping, who happened to still owe him a favor.
As for what Chen Pingping said, he didn't believe it at all. Half a year had passed since that day, and it was still not completely safe? Who believes it?
I'm afraid Chen Pingping has made two preparations.
But it's not important to say that now. What's important is that Zhan Pianpian and He Qin are fine. No matter what Chen Pingping thinks, at least he did save people and always ensured their safety.
"Since you helped me with this matter, we should be able to be reconciled?"
"Of course, we help each other."
After confirming the location and safety of Zhan Pianpian and the others, Zhou Chen was not too anxious to find them, but looked at Chen Pingping with interest.
"You seemed to be discussing just now, preparing to assassinate Li Yunqian in the Xuankong Temple? Speaking of which, I was quite curious. I gave you the answer that day. I believe you had already determined it. After so many days, you still haven't found one. Good opportunity to attack him? "
At this point, he paused: "Or are you not too sure, thinking that the thing in your wheelchair can't kill the Grand Master?"
Chen Pingping's body stiffened suddenly, and she stared at Zhou Chen with a wary face, placing her hands on the handles of the wheelchair.
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Why, you're not sure you can kill Li Yunqian with it. Do you think you can kill me, or do you think I'm weaker than Li Yunqian?"
Chen Pingping's expression changed several times in an instant, and finally she smiled.
"You misunderstood. I'm just curious. How do you know so much? You know both about Ye Qingmei and my secret. It stands to reason that at your age, it's impossible to know these things. Even if you were Father, I don’t know much about Ye Qingmei. Where did you know so much, Ku He? Or Si Gu Jian?”
"Some things are not as difficult as you think if you want to check them out. Haven't you already suspected it? You just haven't dared to confirm it. I just gave you a push."
Zhou Chen stood up slowly, "I still want to thank you for your help in what happened that day. I'd like to trouble you to tell Fan Xian that you don't have to pay back the remaining money."
After saying that, he was about to leave, but Chen Pingping stopped him again.
"etc."
"Um?"
"If I'm not wrong, your return to Kyoto this time should not only be to find someone, but also to take revenge, right?"
"Of course, I am not a big-hearted person, especially after something like that happened. If I didn't fight back, I would feel really unhappy. In order to make myself happy, I naturally have to do some things."
Chen Pingping asked: "Ye Liuyun is still in Kyoto. If you want to kill them, can you let me help?"
Zhou Chen refused: "I'm sorry, this is my revenge. Besides, I have already found help. As for whether to kill him or not, I haven't decided yet. After all, for some people, death is not the most terrifying thing." ”
It wasn't until Zhou Chen left that Shadow let out a long sigh of relief. The atmosphere just now was a bit scary, and he could feel that Zhou Chen's attitude was much worse than before.
Chen Pingping looked at the shadow and said: "Don't worry, he won't do anything to us. He is different from many people. How can I put it, he has a relatively good bottom line. As long as you don't really anger him, it will be detrimental to him." He might not even bother to look at you."
Shadow snorted: "You make it easy, that's the Grand Master, the Grand Master who came back for revenge, and I feel that he seems to be more terrifying than before."
Chen Pingping frowned: "If I heard correctly just now, he said he had found a helper. Is it Ku He or Si Gu Jian who can make him say he is a helper? Or should I say, both of them are here? After all, except for That one, Ye Liuyun, and the mysterious temple messenger.”
"I don't know, but since he is here, I think he must have made sufficient preparations. Maybe the emperor of your Qing Kingdom will die in Zhou Chen's hands without you taking action."
Compared to the aloof Emperor Qing, Shadow still felt that a great master like Zhou Chen looked more pleasing to the eye.
Late at night, Zhou Chen sneaked into Kyoto and soon arrived at Baoyue Tower.
Baoyue Tower is now Fan Xian's property. It has transformed from a brothel into an elegant place.
Zhou Chen walked around Baoyue Building and soon stopped in a small yard in the backyard of Baoyue Building.
In the bedroom in the courtyard, Zhan Pianpian, dressed in plain clothes, held her chin and stared at the moon outside the window in a daze.
She has been living in this place for several months, and the reason why she continues to live there is that she has not received news confirming Zhou Chen's death.
Chen Pingping and Fan Xian both told her that Zhou Chen's body was not found, which meant that there was a high possibility that Zhou Chen was still alive, so she was waiting for Zhou Chen to pick her up.
Although she has been living here and cannot leave or interact with others, she does not find it difficult to accept it, because she has lived in Daqi Palace for more than ten years and has long been accustomed to the feeling of living in one place. This is Not big enough, but enough to house her.
Suddenly, she felt as if a shadow flashed before her eyes. She rubbed her eyes in surprise. When she opened her eyes again and looked out the window, she was stunned.
"Am I dreaming again?"
Zhou Chen stood outside the window and heard Zhan Pianpian's murmur, and his heart was filled with tenderness.
"You're not dreaming, I'm here to pick you up."
You can't get answers in your dreams. Zhan Pianpian woke up instantly, with a look of disbelief on his face. He wanted to shout excitedly, but he covered his mouth the next moment.
"Come in quickly, come in quickly, don't be discovered."
Zhou Chen walked into the room, Zhan Pianpian touched his cheek with both hands, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
"That's great, it's great that you're okay, Zhou Chen, I miss you so much,"
Zhou Chen hugged Zhan Pianpian tightly, his eyes full of heartache.
"I'm sorry that I didn't come to pick you up until now. It's my fault that I kept you waiting for so long."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as you're fine, I'm not afraid of waiting as long as you want."
He Qin, who had been guarding Zhan Pianpian, rushed in when he heard the noise. When he saw Zhou Chen's figure, his whole body was shaken and his face showed excitement.
But he said nothing or did nothing. He quietly retreated, closed the door, and then looked at the moon with a relaxed smile.
Zhou Chen and Zhan Pianpian hugged each other for a long time, and then slowly told each other what happened during this period. Zhan Pianpian burst into tears as he spoke.
In order to save her and protect her from leaving, too many people died. These people all died for her. She has been feeling guilty for such a long time.
Zhou Chen comforted her gently and said he would avenge them...
On February 18th, it was not just the guards who died. Many people in the Zhou Mansion also lost their lives. Only a few people hid in time, and most of them including their families were killed by Emperor Qing. He was killed, which was one of the reasons why he had to take revenge.
After being gentle for a long time, Zhou Chen called He Qin in and learned from He Qin the details of what happened in the posthouse that day.
The situation that day was indeed very bad. Most of the Star Guards were lost and only a few people escaped. He and Shadow cooperated to rescue Zhan Pianpian. After that, under the arrangement of Chen Pingping, they stayed by Zhan Pianpian's side. For Zhan Pianpian's sake, He didn't dare to leave to inquire about the news despite his safety, so he still doesn't know what happened to the other brothers.
Zhou Chen patted his shoulder: "Thank you, He Qin. If it weren't for you, I might have regretted it for the rest of my life. It's too late to take revenge afterwards, but this revenge must be taken. As for the other brothers who escaped, they have been reunited under the leadership of Ge Sanniang and Luo Xingfeng, and they are all still alive now."
After the incident on the wedding day, Ge Sanniang, who was in charge of intelligence work in Kyoto, responded decisively and made all the hidden men silent. She also found a way to leave Kyoto, and then reunited with Luo Xingfeng outside Kyoto. The two of them gathered the living people. There were not many people, but at least they kept the fire.
He Qin didn't know whether to be happy or sad when he heard that there were still people alive. He was actually a person with relatively cold emotions, but after all, he had been in Zhou Mansion for a long time and fought side by side with the Star Guards, so there was still a certain emotional foundation.
Knowing that Zhou Chen was going to seek revenge on Emperor Qing, He Qin immediately took the initiative to ask for battle.
Zhou Chen said solemnly: "Okay, Li Yunqian will hold a chrysanthemum appreciation meeting in the Hanging Temple soon, and that will be our best chance."
Because he had teamed up with Ye Liuyun to kill Zhou Chen, even Zhou Chen was not sure whether Emperor Qing's strategy against the other two great masters would change.
But it is highly likely that he will not team up with Ye Liuyun to drive the Ye family out of Kyoto as in the TV series, and make a gesture of turning against Ye Liuyun of the Ye family.
Because both Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun are still on guard now. After all, there has been no news of Zhou Chen for such a long time, but they dare not relax a bit, and they will definitely not disperse at this time.
It is unknown how long their defense will last, but at least it is impossible to relax now.
But no matter what Emperor Qing and Ye Liuyun plan, it will not affect his plan to take action against Emperor Qing at the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting in the Hanging Temple.
"Pian Pian, get ready, we're leaving right away, take everything we need."
Zhan Pian Pian said happily: "There's nothing to take, the things we brought from Da Qi are long gone."
"Okay, let's go now."
"Don't you need to tell Master Xiao Fan?"
"No, Chen Pingping will explain to him."
Zhou Chen didn't want to meet Fan Xian at this time. After all, Fan Xian was Emperor Qing's biological son, and the two hadn't fallen out yet. If Fan Xian knew about him, no one could say whether Fan Xian would tell Emperor Qing.
The abyss has a bottom, but the human heart is the most unpredictable!
