Chapter 1478 Everything Is Ready, the Murderous Intention in the Hanging Temple

Fan Xian soon found out about the disappearance of Zhan Pianpian and He Qin.

Zhan Pianpian has been staying in Baoyue Tower for a while. He was worried at the beginning, but then gradually became more at ease, but he just kept watching cautiously.

Zhan Pianpian suddenly disappeared today, which really shocked him, and he immediately went to the inspection institute to find 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 Tower."

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 asked with a smile: "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 very affectionate person. The eldest princess of Northern Qi is very important to him. If he is still alive, there is no way he will not come looking for her. I think this is why you are detaining the eldest princess of Northern Qi?"

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 learn 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 Your Highness the Princess's affairs?"

In addition to Fan Xian, those who knew about Zhan Pianpian also included Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing. Now that Zhan Pianpian had disappeared, Teng Zijing seemed 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 trusted. Now There are not many people they can trust, either Dean Chen or that one."

Teng Zijing also reacted at this time, and 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, and 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 the defense this time is the Ye family. "Ye Chong."

Zhou Chen nodded, and then said to He Qin: "He Qin, you come with me that day."

He Qin showed a cruel smile: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

That day, he fought bloody battles and rescued Zhan Pianpian with Shadow. In order to protect them, the brothers around him were almost killed and injured. He has never forgotten it, but he needs to protect Zhan Pianpian and has no chance to take revenge.

Now the opportunity has finally come, and he can't wait.

Luo Xingfeng has been responsible for intelligence work outside Kyoto and has not been in Kyoto for many years, so he did not encounter the incident that day. Although the intelligence network he is responsible for was also purged by the Qing Dynasty court, the loss was minimal.

He also learned about Zhou Chen's news and just arrived here not long ago.

"My lord, during the days you were away, our people were contacted by the eldest princess Li Yunrui. She also sent a message to the 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 letter to meet with the subordinates before."

Zhou Chen was not surprised by this. Li Yunrui, this woman, is very ambitious and resourceful. It is not surprising that she knows part of his intelligence network.

I'm afraid she also thought that she was dead, so she wanted to take over his "legacy" and wanted to get a bargain.

"Don't worry about this woman. After solving the problem this time, I will let you slowly shift your focus to Northern Qi. Qing will soon be in turmoil."

He stayed in Qing before because Zhou's roots were in Qing, but after the last incident, he was no longer prepared to stay in Qing. Most of the people close to him, including his children, were in Qi.

It happened that this time it was more thorough and the focus was shifted to Qi.

Although Ge Sanniang and Luo Xingfeng were a little surprised, they were not surprised. Now their master is already a "traitor" of Qing, and he will attack Emperor Qing soon. Naturally, they can't stay in Qing. Going to Qi is a very good choice.

They don't worry about the future. Anyway, Zhou Chen is still alive. A great master, he may be more valued in Qi than in Qing.

Qing Palace!

Emperor Qing opened his only remaining right eye and stared at Ye Liuyun in front of him with a cold gaze.

"Has the Hanging Temple been arranged?"

Ye Liuyun said calmly: "It has been arranged, but Your Majesty is so sure that someone will take action?"

Emperor Qing said coldly: "Waiting all the time is too passive. Sometimes you need to take the initiative. This Hanging Temple Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference 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 is not dead, he will not let it go. 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 battle at the beginning and knew best how Zhou Chen's injuries were.

Theoretically, Zhou Chen could not be alive, but the two of them always felt uneasy in their hearts, so they stayed in Kyoto and watched each other.

Whether it was Emperor Qing or Ye Liuyun, the past six months were very depressing for them.

As the king of a country and the master 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 the stinky face of Emperor Qing, but with Zhou Chen's sharp blade hanging over his head, he couldn't be as carefree as before.

So both of them wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible, so Emperor Qing was just going to use this Xuankong Temple Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference to see if Zhou Chen was really still alive. If he was still alive, they had to make an end of it.

Speaking of Zhou Chen, Emperor Qing felt a dull pain in his left eye, and the uncontrollable killing intent came out.

His killing intent for Zhou Chen was greater than that for the other grandmasters, almost comparable to the killing intent for Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei's existence made him feel terrified. Her thoughts would shake his imperial power, and the terrifying lethality of the hidden weapon made him feel terrified even as a grandmaster.

Zhou Chen's existence was the same. Disrespecting the imperial power, the two had reasons to kill each other, so he also wanted to get rid of Zhou Chen like he got rid of Ye Qingmei.

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 meeting in the Hanging Temple, he has been planning for a long time and has made full preparations, which is no worse than the last time when Zhou Chen got married.

This time, as long as Zhou Chen comes alive, he will never let Zhou Chen escape again.

"I hope so."

Ye Liuyun does not have the confidence of Emperor Qing. Zhou Chen escaped in the last death situation. If Zhou Chen is still alive, this time, without other ties, they want to kill Zhou Chen, which may be more difficult than the last time.

Last time, it was intentional. If Zhou Chen comes this time, he will definitely make sufficient preparations and will never be as passive as last time.

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting.

On this day, the inside and outside of Kyoto were full of people. Many people set out from Kyoto to the Hanging Temple. The official road was full of carriages and pedestrians, and the convoy stretched for more than ten miles.

Fan Xian also brought Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing to the Hanging Temple, but he didn't want to join in the fun.

"Sir, are we really not going up to admire the chrysanthemums?"

"You want to go up? Standing so high, what flowers can you see?"

"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 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." He 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 spot 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."

Sigu 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 personnel are 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 need 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.
