Chapter 145: Chen Pingping's shadow and child in flight(1/2)
Chapter 145: The shadow of Chen Pingping and her children in the escape
Yan Bingyun broke one hand and hung weakly on his waist. He looked at the eldest princess, his eyes looked a little dim, and the suffocation in his chest made him know that he had suffered internal injuries after touching it. These masters from the Junshan Society around the eldest princess were not something he could resist.
At this time, the Thirteen City Gate Office had been surrounded by soldiers, and the spear was Xiao Yan. Two of them were separated from the Junshan Association masters beside the eldest princess and quickly approached Yan Bingyun. The sharp blade in her hand exuded a silence, covering him.
"If Your Majesty had heard An Zhi's words back then, it would have been better to sweep Junshan Mountain..." When he was dying, Yan Bingyun couldn't help but have such an idea. He knew that he was no match for these masters in the martial arts world, nor did he beg for the Temple of Heaven to give him a chance to escape. He just looked calm and took something in his arms.
It was an arrow. Since there was a change in the city gate, he had to inform Fan Xian of the palace of Zhang Deqing's deathly betrayal before he died.
Yan Bingyun's index finger clenched the cable of the arrow. Looking at the two black sword shadows getting closer, his pupils shrank slightly, and he exhaled a breath of turbid air, his lips tightly pursed and pulled them hard.
With a sniff, the arrow ignited, but did not soar into the air, because a small force hit his wrist. A slimly hot liquid sprinkled on the back of his hand, causing his heart to tremble. The arrow flew out slanted and did not fly far, and then shot to the chest of a soldier in the city gate. With a slight blast, it exploded slightly.
Yan Bingyun did not bow his head, and Yu Guang also caught a glimpse of the blood on his hands, flowing rushing.
When his index finger reached into the cable, a look of fear appeared in the eyes of the Junshan Association master closest to him. He seemed to have seen something extremely terrible, and then a thin blood line appeared on the master's neck.
The bloodline spread out in an instant and turned into a bloody hole. You can see the master's white throat, extremely nauseous trachea and esophagus and fuzzy flesh and blood.
With a chuckle, the master rushed to Yan Bingyun, and then knelt down with a snap. He was shocked by the impact, and his throat, which had been cut halfway, was unable to tie his head. The vertebrae at the back of his head was the center of the circle, and he turned to his back weakly.
The pale and dead face turned upside down stared at the eldest princess and Zhang Deqing who were protected by the masters and soldiers.
Blood spurted out from his throat like a fountain, hitting Yan Bingyun's hand, smearing his whole hand into bright red, and by chance the arrow did not rise to the sky.
Another master of Junshan Association who was passing by was even more miserable. He did not rush to Yan Bingyun at all. His eyes only caught a faint shadow reflected by the torch and passed by him, and he felt a chill in his throat.
A delicate and dull sword pierced from his right rear, and pierced his neck at high speed extremely steadily and ruthlessly, stretched out from the other side.
With a sniff, the tip of the sword slid like a poisonous snake's letter and shrank, leaving his neck like lightning. The true energy and life in this master also left his body with the sword that left his neck. He stared at his eyes like a dead fish, intending to cover his neck with one hand, but found that he could no longer control any muscles on his body.
He began to have weak legs, his eyes began to be dark, and he began to be incontinent. He fell down and rolled on the ground like a gourd, rolling past Yan Bingyun's standing body, and then stopped when he touched the high threshold of the city gate and the yatang.
The blood was strong and the smell of foul smell came from him.
A sword stretched out from hell, in a flash, learned about two masters from the Junshan Club with extremely terrifying means. No one could react at all. Even Yan Bingyun, who had been saved, could not react and stood in shock.
Then he felt his whole body lightening. The next moment, a black shadow was lifted by a neck and flew over to the city gate Siya Hall, and escaped towards the darkness in Kyoto along the shadow under the high city wall.
The darkness before dawn became increasingly strong.
In the eyes of those who intend to surround Yan Bingyun, what they saw was a more terrifying scene. A black shadow seemed to appear in the crowd silently, killing two masters lightly and extremely quickly. He held Yan Bingyun, like carrying a broken sack, and easily escaped from the siege of so many people.
Because of its ease, it was terrible. Three sounds of bang, Yan Bingyun had been rescued by this man, and the officers and soldiers of the City Gate Department did not even have time to lift the bows and arrows in their hands.
Who is this black shadow? He actually has such terrifying strength!
The eldest princess, who was guarded by masters and soldiers at the end, turned slightly pale. She waved her hand to disperse the subordinates in front of her and walked out of the crowd. Looking at the direction of the black shadow escaping, she didn't know what she was in, but she could only see her eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"The Supervisory Office...is really scary."
The mastermind of the Kyoto Rebellion thought to himself, but he did not have much frustration. Since the person who came today was the world's number one assassin, who was the best at killing, and using this ability to save Yan Bingyun, he had no way to stop him.
However, it should not affect much.
Li Yunrui thought so. He squinted his eyes and looked at the soldiers at the city gate. At this time, the sky was getting brighter. The sun under the horizon began to emit countless small silver fish, making them shine with their belly, and gradually drove away the thick dark night in Kyoto.
The torch was not so bright, and the dim morning light hit everyone, reflecting shadows on the ground.
Of course, the Supervision Office is terrible, with dragons and tigers hidden in the eight major places. I don’t know how many heroes are willing to cover up their faces, abandon the past light, and devote themselves to the great secret agent cause of Qingguo. This force is stalked in one place, and the power that can be exerted is even the most powerful Emperor in Qingguo.
Because the Supervision Bureau is a spy agency directly under the jurisdiction of Emperor Qing State, but everyone knows that the Supervision Bureau can attract so many good players to serve and can exist in Qing State for more than 30 years. It is all because of the old lame man sitting in a wheelchair.
There are only more than a thousand officials of the Supervisory Office in Kyoto today, but it seems so terrible. He broke into the palace, suppressed the Ministry of Justice, forced the Heavenly Prison, and conquered the Kyoto Prefecture. In one night, he turned the entire Kyoto overthrow.
Fan Xian’s plan is good. Yan Bingyun’s execution is good, but the ability to achieve such an effect is still based on the strong organizational strength and iron-blooded obedience of the officials of the Supervision House. The unique characteristics of these Supervision House are all the old lame man Chen Pingping and the first generation of the eight major leaders who spent decades to cast it into the soul of the Supervision House bit by bit.
Therefore, the most powerful person in the Supervision Bureau is not the Black Knight, not Fan Xian, nor the No. 1 Assassin in the World, but Chen Pingping and what this person represents.
But what is amazing is that the prince and princess planned the assassination of Dadongshan, and the princess also knew the power of the Supervisory Office. But it seemed that she was still too little at stake in the Supervisory Office. At least in the uneasy view of the Prince, if she wanted to ascend the throne, who would dare to sit on the dragon throne without controlling Chen Pingping first?
Fortunately, Chen Pingping was poisoned and isolated from Kyoto.
The prince originally thought that this was an aunt's operation, but no one knew that this matter had nothing to do with Li Yunrui.
From the beginning, Li Yunrui never thought about dealing with Chen Yuan outside Kyoto and the old man in the wheelchair, not because she didn't value Chen Pingping, nor because she thought Chen Pingping was an old monster that could never be eliminated, but because she had a secret.
The secret is just a person's secret, and the rest of the plan are not clear. After the news that Chen Pingping was poured into Kyoto by Dongyi's poison master medicine, everyone was shocked and thought that the old lame man was pretending something. However, when the news of the assassination of the Holy Lord of the East Mountain also came, the empress dowager ordered Chen Pingping to enter the palace immediately, but Chen Pingping remained in Chen Garden... Everyone began to guess what.
Could it be that Chen Pingping was really poisoned? So an old man who had been dealing with Chen Pingping for decades began to be moved and thoughtful. The old man had always been secretly wary of Chen Pingping. He would definitely be uneasy if he didn't kill him. The situation is now very wonderful. The so-called taking advantage of his illness to take his life and not taking Chen Pingping's life at this time. The old man felt sorry for him.
So when Mr. Qin, who was growing cabbage, left Kyoto and regained the army. After his son took back the authority of the Kyoto Garrison Division, the first order he gave was to... slaughter Chen Yuan.
Today's Chen Garden has become wasteland.
In Fan Xian's eyes, Chen Garden, which is even more luxurious than the gardens of Jiangnan Mingjia, has now become countless black and gray ruins. The gorgeous and elegant gardens have been burned into black soil, and the exquisite and atmospheric houses have become countless half stone walls, with blue smoke still rising everywhere, but the scorching temperature has disappeared. It looks extremely desolate.
If Fan Xian saw this scene, he would be heartbroken and scolded those who didn't know how to cherish it. However, from ancient times to the present, the army is the least needed artistic aesthetics, so when a Qin army attacked Chenyuan with lightning speed, it naturally set off a fire.
The reason for this fire is not similar to that of the Eight-Nation Alliance. The robbers of the Eight-Nation Alliance thought that there were too many things and could not be moved away. So they simply burned them and did not leave them to the people. The reason why the Qin army set fire... was because they didn't grab anything and no one caught!
The trap mechanisms outside Chenyuan that once made Fan Xian tremble still existed. More than 300 people died in the Qin family's army before suddenly entering Chenyuan. However, in Chenyuan, they did not find a living person.
They were greeted by an empty garden. It was rumored that Dean Chen was not in the garden when he was poisoned, his beautiful servants were not in the garden, and his servants were not in the garden. Everyone seemed to have withdrawn long ago. Moreover, the retreat was extremely clean, and even the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of Chen Garden were taken down.
Chen Pingping likes those calligraphy and paintings.
This army controlled by the Qin family is mainly composed of the Kyoto Garrison Division. The leader is a general of the second generation of the Qin family. He is cousin with Qin Heng. He looked at the empty Chen Yuan in anger. Thinking of his leading army to attack, so many people died, but he only occupied one of the empty gardens. He couldn't help but vomit blood.
In a rage, the Qin general set fire.
In the midst of the raging flames, he ordered a quick horse to return to the Yuantai camp, but he did not dare to lead the army, because Mr. Qin gave a death order. Since he had attacked Chen Yuan, he had to kill Chen Pingping before he could return to the army.
There was no choice but to wipe out his usual pride and respectfully ask the man in black beside him for advice. The man in black was sent by the old man to help him. On the way to attack the army, he once said that Chen Yuan must be empty at this time.
At that time, General Qin was a little unbelievable, but at this time he had to believe it and sighed in his heart. After all, he was a veteran in the Supervision Bureau. He had to be much clearer about Chen Pingping's power and calculations.
Yan Ruohai, who had a face covered, stood next to General Qin on a horse and said, "Since the dean has left, the general must be mentally prepared... In a short period of time, don't think about catching him."
General Qin was stunned.
Yan Ruohai glanced at him and said sarcastically: "Don't forget, he is Chen Pingping."
After saying this, he pulled his horse's head and walked out of Chen Yuan. He couldn't bear to look at the raging fire in Chen Yuan behind him. He thought that the general who set fire to Chen Yuan would be in what shape the dean would be cut into in the future.
He is from the Qin family, and only the Qin family seems to know this secret, but the prince and the eldest princess are not clear. However, he is from the Supervision Bureau, and only the Supervision Bureau really knows this secret, so of course the Qin family is not clear.
Kyoto has gradually become a dangerous and difficult capital. Various counties have memorials to enter Beijing, but Kyoto has no intention to come out. Fortunately, information exchange is inconvenient in this era, and everyone is used to the rhythm of slow beats. Therefore, even if the prefectures and counties outside Kyoto feel a little strange, they do not become panic because of the crisis in Kyoto.
At least in the past few days, the entire Qing Kingdom was always peaceful except for Kyoto and Higashiyama Road.
The morning in Weizhou is no different from that in Kyoto. Lord Chen Pingping, the director of the Supervision Office who should have handled the throne in Kyoto or treated poison in Chenyuan, looked up at the sky light above the courtyard of Siheyuan, frowned, and began to raise chopsticks and eat porridge and buns.
In the past, the old man liked to eat these two things.
When the empress dowager's order was passed to Chen Yuan, the ancestor of the Qing State spy immediately ordered the servants to prepare the carriage and pack their luggage, and then... but did not return to Beijing, but slipped away very quickly.
Fan Xian and the eldest prince stood on the imperial city with a sad face and wanted to run away. Unexpectedly, their closest elders were much more straightforward than they did in this regard.
After a group of carriages came out of Chen Yuan, they circled around the countryside in southern Kyoto. The Qin army behind the convoy was still persevering in searching for the whereabouts of the convoy, intending to kill with all their might.
However, Chen Pingping was not in a hurry, and the convoy did not accelerate, and did not even deliberately cover up her whereabouts. She just seduced the army and circled behind her butt.
The convoy went around three times in the south of Kyoto. The army also followed three times. The reason why it never happened was that the Supervisory Office's powerful intelligence system and obstruction ability outside Beijing was of course because the army had an excellent guide and helper.
Yan Ruohai took the Qin family to chase Chen Pingping, and he could tell with his butt that as long as Chen Pingping was not happy, they would never be able to chase him.
The fleeing convoy, like a tourist, finally stopped in a manor outside the city of Weizhou, the largest state in Kyoto, because Chen Pingping guessed that the time was almost over.
Chen Pingping was drinking porridge, and his teeth were pretty good, and he didn't lean against the wall. But the elderly men of the Supervision House sitting next to him always felt a little shameless when they looked at the dean's eyes.
It's like that in Kyoto, your two nephews are living and dying, why do you have the heart to run away?
There were three people sitting around Chen Pingping's breakfast table, one was an old servant who served him in Chenyuan for decades. The other was the former sponsor of the seven departments that Fan Xian had seen in the Tianzhu of the Supervision Bureau. The bald man and the other were one of the two wings of the Supervision Bureau, Zong Zhui, who was as famous as Wang Qinian.
The sound of young concubines vaguely joking after getting up after getting up. The women did not know that their entourage was fleeing.
The three veterans of the Supervision Bureau did not look so good. Zong Zhui pursed his lips, moistened his lips, which were thirsty due to nervousness, and said, "The pursuer is approaching, so the dean... let's make some plans."
"They will be dispatched to return soon. There is no hurry to do this." Chen Pingping put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth flawlessly, and said, "You go out and arrange it."
"Yes." Zong Zhui and the bald seventh organ took the order and left.
Only Chen Pingping and the old servant were left in the yard. At this moment, Chen Pingping suddenly coughed, coughing very uncomfortable. The old man's face turned bloody and turned pale again, and a trace of blood oozed out of the corners of his lips.
The old servant cried and said, "Master, you have to call Master Fei back. Otherwise, what should I do if I do this poison?"
It turned out that Chen Pingping was really poisoned! He smiled self-deprecatingly in a wheelchair and said, "It's just a little uncomfortable if you can't kill people."
"Master... there are some dangers in the capital. Are you really not worried about Lord Xiao Fan?" The old servant glanced at Chen Pingping and asked carefully.
On Chen Pingping's old face, wrinkles suddenly became more and more. After a while, he sighed and said, "How can you not worry? But even if things fail, I think he can live. As long as you live, everything will be done."
The old servant thought to himself. If Lord Xiao Fan really loses, how can he survive? And if the prince really inherits the throne, I am afraid that his convoy will never find any place to live in this vast land of Qingguo.
The old servant suddenly thought of something and said overjoyed: "Yes, there are also Shangshu Fan and Prince Jing who have never taken action."
These days, Chen Pingping often discusses the situation in Kyoto with his old guys. The old servants have been listening. They have a very clear understanding of the strength of Kyoto. If the Thirteen City Gate Office is really lost and Ye Qin and his two families are in Beijing, where can the Supervision Bureau resist? Unless Prince Fan Jian and Jing have the power to make a big spoil, President Chen dares to sit in a wheelchair safely and not worry about Fan Xian.
"Jing is like Lao Qin, and he will only lose his temper with the land." Chen Pingping said slightly, "Fan Jian won in his endurance in this life, but he was also defeated in his endurance. How could he have enough power to change the situation at hand? I am afraid that the palace will suspect him. Over the years, our Shangshu Fan has been tolerant enough. Now, he has endured himself."
After saying this, Chen Pingping became silent. He knew where Fan Jian’s most powerful force was, but the problem was that His Majesty’s visit to worship the sky actually took away all those people. I wonder if anyone among those people could survive.
Papa, a few white doves flew into the garden in the direction of the morning light. The old servant stepped forward to catch one and held it in front of Chen Pingping.
To be continued...
