Chapter 1387: Bamboo blossoms in the Royal Study Room

Views:

There is no doubt that Chen Pingping is a master, or more precisely, he used to be a master. To be more precise, it should be said that although Chen Wuchang, one of the permanent eunuchs in the palace, was not as good as the brilliant and talented Hong Sitching eunuch, he was still a figure in the sequence after all, with martial arts skills Cultivation should not be underestimated.

If it weren't for a strong man, how could it have been possible to contend with the powerful Xiao En in the north in the turbulent situation in the world, and how could he have built a gloomy Overwatch Council under the hostile eyes of the court. If Chen Pingping wasn't a strong man, how could he lead the black cavalry like a black storm to carry out those thousands of miles of raids that shocked the world on the mainland.

However, time and experience are the most torturous weapons in the world. Too many years have passed, and Chen Pingping is old. The most regrettable thing is that Chen Pingping was seriously injured during the surprise operation to capture Xiao En and return to Beijing. After that, he no longer had any consciousness, and his whole body was also blown away by the wind and rain, leaving nothing left.

This is a history that all the courtiers and people of the Qing Dynasty know, and it is a fact that they either regret or delight. So when the order to arrest Chen Pingping and return to the capital came out from the palace, neither Ye Zhong, Gong Dian, Yao eunuch, nor the general Shi Fei who was personally in charge of the matter, including He Zongwei who finally knew the big secret, all did not turn their vigilant eyes. To the body of old Dean Chen, to the black wheelchair he was sitting in.

Because they knew that Chen Pingping herself was just a useless person, and it was impossible for her to have any personal strength. They were terrified and frightened, not because of how powerful Chen Pingping's body was, but because of the conspiracy and tricks in the old cripple's mind and the powerful power of the Overwatch Council that he could control, they had an irresistible idea .

Chen Pingping returned to Beijing alone, and the Overwatch Council was under strict surveillance and the strong cooperation of a certain important person inside. These important ministers around His Majesty the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The palace is safe.

Because of this kind of judgment, they never worried that Chen Pingping would benefit His Majesty in any way in the Imperial Study Room. Even though Chen Pingping was still the strong man on the black horse back then, in front of His Majesty, the number one expert in the world, they did not worry about it. There may be any counter force. And as for that black wheelchair? The wheelchair under the old dean has been sitting in it for many years, and everyone is used to the existence of the wheelchair, and even regards the wheelchair as a part of Chen Pingping.

The force of habit is powerful, so powerful that people can completely ignore it. So Chen Pingping entered the imperial study in a black wheelchair. No one, including Eunuch Yao, felt any vigilance. These big shots made a big mistake.

Similarly, His Majesty the Emperor also made a mistake at the moment when his mind returned to indifference and calm after a long conversation against the background of the dark autumn rain in the morning. When the pale Chen Pingping looked at the snow-white wall of the imperial study behind him, he called out the woman softly. When the name was named, his mind relaxed slightly, and he followed Chen Pingping's gaze and looked back, ignoring the movement of Chen Pingping's arms on the black armrest of the wheelchair.

When everyone was young, they may have played this kind of naive and cute little game. A little friend pretended to see a serious elder or a powerful teacher walking behind him, and exclaimed, Shocked, he turned his head and saw that he was punched hard, and then the two laughed and cursed and ran away in the yard chasing each other.

Such a naive method was used on Emperor Qing, the most powerful person in the world. I have to say that Chen Pingping's thoughts were very strange, wonderful, and... very effective. Maybe it's because of His Majesty's mind shaking at this moment, or maybe it's because His Majesty is dead in Kuhe looking around at the sword. Now that Ye Liuyun is out to sea, his whole body and mind are in a state of absolute confidence, and he doesn't care at all. What, because he didn't care, he turned his head.

In today's world, no one should be able to hurt this mighty Emperor, even Fan Xian, Haitang, Wang Shisanlang, Yun Zhilan, Langtao, plus Shadow, these six are absolutely strong at the ninth rank. Those who appeared in the imperial study at the same time, and delivered a fatal blow to the emperor, I am afraid that His Majesty the emperor will not be moved in the slightest.

However, when he turned around, he saw nothing but white snow, his pupils shrunk slightly, and when he turned his head to look at Chen Pingping in the wheelchair, he saw the hands that Chen Pingping had been holding on to the armrest of the wheelchair... clenched tightly on the inside of the armrest, The forearm shrank back suddenly!

There was a crisp click, and the two smooth and black armrests of the wheelchair suddenly moved to the sides, making a series of beautiful sounds of metal springs. Following two loud noises almost at the same time, two powerful streams of air blasted out from the two holes that suddenly appeared at the front of the armrest.

bang bang!

Crisp and neat, not sloppy, indifferent, and cold, Chen Pingping held the armrest of the wheelchair, and these two people pulled the trigger on the armrest that he had touched for countless years.

Countless iron filings and steel balls blasted towards Emperor Qing's body with incomparably powerful gunpowder force.

The black wheelchair released two gorgeous sparks that took people's souls away!

No one in this world can hurt His Majesty the Emperor, but that doesn't mean nothing can hurt him. At least both the emperor and Chen Pingping knew that the black box that had always seemed extremely mysterious could definitely pose a threat to the emperor. Today, the wheelchair that Chen Pingping has been sitting in for decades seems to be playing a very similar role.

This black wheelchair was carefully crafted by the Internal Treasury and the Overwatch Council decades ago, while the pair of firearms that held countless years of anger were made for Chen Pingping by the woman who had been dead for a long time. .

At that time, Chen Pingping was limping, and she was worried about her safety, so she mobilized all her abilities and secretly arranged such a best life-saving magic weapon for him. Over the years, the seat ring and backrest of this black wheelchair have been replaced countless times, but the pair of armrests have never been replaced.

Many people know that Chen Pingping has a habitual movement. He likes to gently stroke the pair of smooth armrests, and those who are close to him like Fan Xian know that whenever the dean likes to lightly touch the hands with his knuckles when he is alone. Tap the armrest lightly, and the armrest will often make a buzzing sound, like a hollow bamboo.

Bamboo has knots, strength, and bones, and Chen Pingping also has them.

Two sparks exploded in front of the armrest of the wheelchair!

After the two loud muffled sounds almost at the same time, there was the sound of countless steel balls, iron filings and gunpowder spraying on the body of the ninety-five supreme being, crackling, like rain hitting the beach, like hail falling on the ground, hitting thousands of Point pit, discount countless banana leaves.

The imperial study room was filled with smoke, but it dissipated very quickly, gradually revealing the figure of His Majesty the Emperor sitting on the slump.

Emperor Qing is a great master, but the great masters are not gods after all, their bodies are still mortal bodies, their minds are extremely powerful, but it is impossible for them to react like gods.

When Chen Pingping pulled the trigger on the wheelchair, he was very close to Emperor Qing, but the shotgun sprayed from the front of the armrest covered half the width of the space extremely powerfully. Even though it flied away, it couldn't escape the killing range of these fast-fired soul-devouring weapons.

So Emperor Qing didn't dodge, he was still sitting on the slump, the walls around his body had been beaten into sores, gray stone and broken bricks were falling down, and a few pieces of damaged wall skin were hanging in the air In the process, half of the chest under him was shattered, and the desk in front of him was smashed into a piece of wood.

There were many holes in the dragon robe on His Majesty's body, tiny, torn holes that appeared in different shapes and tracks, and the holes felt slightly burnt.

A pair of hands covered his face, the index finger of his left hand was slightly bent, and the thumb was slightly raised. The small green porcelain teacup was in the tiger's mouth without moving at all.

Even the tea cup is not broken, so the face of the emperor is naturally undisturbed.

In fact, all of this happened in a very short moment. His majesty's whole body was full of vigor, whistling like the wind, and the celadon teacup between his fingers flew into the air with a hissing sound. out.

Two gunshots sounded, and the black wheelchair was hit by the strong shock force, and it slid backwards at an extremely fast speed. The wheelchair creaked and rubbed against the ground of the imperial study room, as if sparks were about to be ground, and finally It slammed into the wall of the imperial study room hard, making a muffled sound.

Chen Pingping's face was indifferent, her pupils narrowed slightly, but before she could make any movements, she saw the emerald green that caught her eyes.

With a crisp sound, the teacup that flew from the sky was firmly nailed to Chen Pingping's thin chest, and several sternums were broken.

Countless pieces of porcelain shattered into powder, like countless hair needles, pierced into Chen Pingping's body. The pain was so painful that extraordinary people could bear it.

A mouthful of black blood spurted out from Chen Pingping's lips, and wet her chest. Immediately afterwards, an invisible and qualityless majestic zhenqi surged in the air, instantly restraining the remaining three meridians and six meridians in his body, controlling the movement of every muscle in him, making him unable to speak, unable to Action, unable to know its own life.

What's even more frightening is that the imperial zhenqi penetrated into his body quickly through the air and through his clothes, followed his meridians and walked in all directions, and in an instant, the old dean had already been subdued. The poison under it was slowly forced out.

It was as if there was an invisible giant hand in the air, tightly holding Chen Pingping's withered body, lifting him from the black wheelchair, and hovering in the air. It seemed that this scene was particularly strange.

Chen Pingping's gray hair was already messed up, and it was scattered on his forehead in a mess, gently covering the deep wrinkles on his face, and his clothes were full of cracks, the breath of life in his whole body, In an instant, he was suppressed to the brink of death.

However, the old man's eyes were indifferent and cold, without the slightest fear, but with a trace of regret and disdain. Gradually, even these emotions disappeared in his eyes, only calm.

Heavy footsteps sounded in the imperial study room, His Majesty the Emperor stepped on the gravel on the ground slowly and heavily, and walked towards him.

The emperor's right hand was bluffed, and several bursts of powerful qi burst out, disturbing Chen Pingping's thin body in midair.

The emperor's eyes were indifferent, but also tinged with blood red color of fury.

The emperor's hands trembled slightly, all covered with blood and terrifying wounds.

The small holes in the dragon robe on the emperor's body began to bleed out, continuously oozing out of the body, washing away the iron filings and burnt gunpowder residue on the wound, and the dragon robe had been smoked into a blackish color.

The emperor was seriously injured, and the steel balls that could penetrate the bluestone should still be in his body, but he... didn't die after all.

The fragments of the celadon cup were inside Chen Pingping's body, and he also began to bleed. Perhaps it was because there was not much blood in his body, and the flow was not fast, but it wet his tattered black Overwatch Council official uniform in an instant. .

The emperor walked in front of Chen Pingping, his chest heaved slightly. Both the monarch and his ministers had small cracks that penetrated into the flesh and blood. The pain was deepest, and the blood flowed continuously. They looked very similar.

He looked down at the horrible wound on his chest and abdomen, and the corners of his brows trembled slightly, as if he hadn't thought that in today's world, there are still people who can make him so close to death. An uncontrollable resentment and anger began to ferment and rise in the monarch's body.

The emperor's hand grabbed Chen Pingping's throat, stared into his eyes, flashed a chilling resentment, and said word by word: "If I don't let you die, you can't die."

Several gray shadows flashed outside the glass window of the imperial study room, several people slammed open the wooden door of the imperial study room and rushed in. At the gate of the garden, eunuch Ye Chongyao and other important figures avoided the Imperial Study Room from a distance, but they heard the two loud noises clearly, they knew something was wrong, and rushed over to escort them , but still too late.

Ye Zhong arrived the fastest, followed by Eunuch Yao. However, when they entered the imperial study room, they watched the bloody scene in front of them, but kept silent at the same time, because this scene was too painful for their eyes.

When they saw His Majesty the Emperor covered in blood, strangling the old Dean Chen covered in blood, their hearts were shocked and they didn't know what to say.

The emperor let go, allowing Chen Pingping's body to slump from his hands and hit the floor with a muffled sound. He looked at his old comrades-in-arms, old partner, and old servant with a strange look, and said in a voice that was extremely cold and resentful: "Take me to the prison of the Overwatch Council, and I will execute this traitor tomorrow. Let this old dog die before 36,000 knives, and the waste from you and Tai Hospital will be buried with him."

Ye Zhong and Eunuch Yao fell into an ice cellar, and He Zongwei, who had just ran out of the imperial study with a face full of panic, trembled even more when he heard these words. Not only because of the shocking scene in front of me, nor because of Chen Pingping's charges, nor because of the will of His Majesty the Emperor, who was so cold and angry to the bone.

In the past 30 years of the Kingdom, no top minister has ever been executed by Ling Chi. This is the most humiliating and cruel way of death. What's more, this decree refers to... Chen Pingping.

However, these three people didn't dare to say anything at all, they just knelt down immediately, at the feet of His Majesty the Emperor, not daring to make any suggestion.

His Majesty the Emperor took a last look at Chen Pingping who was looking at him with a mocking look, and suddenly felt a burning pain in his chest and abdomen.

How many years have I been without injury? The emperor thought so in his heart, and then his body shook.

"Your Majesty was assassinated, send the imperial physician quickly!"

Master He's anxious and anxious calls sounded in the imperial study room. At this time, Ye Zhong was supporting His Majesty Yushan's falling body with fear, and subconsciously tilted his head slightly, squinting at this vicious man. The bachelor glanced at him.

—————————

There was a panic in the palace, the imperial doctors filed in and out of the palace, and from time to time, pale-faced court ladies and eunuchs came in and out with golden basins, the water in the basins had been stained red with blood.

Eunuch Yao was serving the injured Emperor in the palace at this time. Gong Dian led the forbidden army and inner court masters to surround the entire imperial city, and Ye Zhong stayed outside the palace after issuing several warrants to the Privy Council.

The doctor from the imperial hospital was walking out of the hall with sweat on his face, Ye Zhong looked at him coldly and asked, "How is your majesty?"

The doctor at the Imperial Hospital saw him, and replied tremblingly: "Return to Master Ye, although His Majesty is injured, but his pulse is strong and strong, it should be fine, but..."

Ye Zhong frowned, and shouted sharply, "Just how?"

"It's just that... the iron filings stuck in His Majesty's flesh and blood have been removed, but from the wounds on His Majesty's body, there should be some sharp objects left in His Majesty's body, which hurt the internal organs. If these sharp objects are not taken out , I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Could Your Majesty be in danger?"

"Your Majesty is so blessed that he is not a mortal." With a trembling voice, the doctor of the Imperial Hospital described the state of His Majesty's grand master in a different way, and said, "I think there will be no major problems, but no one knows what will happen in the future." It won't make a difference."

"Then don't think there is a way to take it out!" Ye Zhong's body was short and fat, and he always gave people a gentle feeling, but at this moment, the evil spirit on his face was extremely terrifying.

"I... really don't have such a good method." Seeing Ye Zhong's face getting more and more ugly, the doctor quickly swallowed his saliva, and hurriedly said: "However, Mr. Fan once presided over similar medical cases in the palace. , Your Excellency, please summon Master Xiao Fan back to the capital, with him presiding over this matter, I think there will be no hidden dangers."

"Mr. Danbo?" Ye Zhong thumped when he heard the name, and his heart was half cold. From this morning to this time, too many things happened in and around the capital, and in the imperial study in the imperial city, and he hadn't fully digested them yet. Clean, when I heard Fan Xian's name, I thought that Chen Pingping's assassination of His Majesty would have a great impact on the country of Qing.

Ye Zhong's lips were a little dry, and he said slowly after a while, "Master Fan won't come back for a while, is there any other way?"

"Miss Fan's family, now she is practicing medicine in Danbo Medical Center. She learned from Qingshan, and Master Xiao Fan personally..."

Ye Chong's eyes flashed coldly, and he said directly: "Quickly pass her into the palace!"

After the doctor was leading the guards away, Ye Zhong suddenly felt that his back was covered in cold sweat, and a large area was wet. Only now did he have time to analyze the situation in front of him. When the doctor mentioned Fan Xian's name, he couldn't help but think that in a short while, this young powerful official would return to Beijing impressively, threatening to annex Dongyi.

However, at that time, if Fan Xianruo finds out that Chen Pingping has been executed by His Majesty, what kind of reaction will he make

Ye Zhong felt a chill shrouded his body. At this moment, His Majesty was seriously injured. Old Dean Chen was dying. Another batch of imperial physicians were treating him, and he was about to be imprisoned overnight in the prison of the Overwatch Council.

He knew why His Majesty ordered Chen Pingping to be imprisoned in the Overwatch Council in the end. The emperor's mind, at such a moment, still did not forget to show his chill.

Now that the whole capital's defensive force is in Ye Zhong's hands, of course he has no intention of resisting His Majesty's will, but he feels an unbearable weight. If the Overwatch Council really turns against him, what should he do? Fortunately, His Majesty was only injured, not really unconscious.

Don't care about what happened between His Majesty and Old Dean Chen, but in the imperial study room, it was something everyone saw that Old Dean Chen assassinated His Majesty, no one can, and no one dares to replace Old Dean Chen intercede. Assassinating His Majesty is Ling Chi's capital crime.

There was a chill in Ye Zhong's heart. He knew the relationship and friendship between His Majesty and Chen Pingping very well. He was afraid that His Majesty would be extremely angry and disappointed, which would give old Dean Chen such a miserable end.

It's just... Since the founding of the Qing Kingdom, although the imperial power is as difficult to shake as this continent's thousands of years of history. However, the successive emperors of the Qing Kingdom have always held a gentle attitude towards their courtiers. Especially in the past few decades, the Qing Law has been revised several times, and countless tortures have been abolished, even for those who seek rebellion, it is often beheaded and exterminated.

Especially for the scholar-bureaucrats and ministers of the court, His Majesty has always been gentle. Even in the rebellion in Kyoto three years ago, in the end, only Zhang Deqing, the commander of the thirteen city gates, was killed.

However, what is Zhang Deqing compared to Old Director Chen of the Overwatch Council

Ye Zhong closed his eyes slowly, and couldn't help but think of the words that Senior Majesty He had uttered in a loud and mournful voice when His Majesty fell into his arms, and a chill flickered on the corner of his lips.

The news of Chen Pingping's assassination of the emperor, through He Zongwei's shout, immediately spread throughout the entire palace, alarming everyone in the palace, and naturally became known to everyone in the capital.

Afterwards, His Majesty may think about the stability of the court of the Qing Dynasty, the attitude of Fan Xian and the entire Overwatch Council officials, or... think of all the contributions that the old dean Chen has made to the Qing Dynasty over the years,

No, Ye Zhong understands His Majesty's disposition, even if he wants to give Dean Chen a glorious death, it cannot be because of the friendship between His Majesty and this old courtyard, the sound of that strange weapon in the imperial study After that, His Majesty only had anger and resentment towards Chen Pingping, but nothing else.

The only thing that could make His Majesty take back Ling Chi's will was to think about the future of the Qing Kingdom, Fan Xian and the First Prince who was stationed in Dongyi City, and the country.

There are also many ways to die. Comparing the extremely humiliating and cruel Ling Chi with Bai Ling and a cup of poisoned wine, the former will definitely make the Overwatch Council, Fan Xian, and His Highness feel more resentment.

However, all of this became impossible because of Master He's exclamation of "just right", because the emperor has the dignity of the emperor and the anger of the emperor.

Ye Chong sighed, staring blankly at the imperial city under the autumn rain, with mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know how many stories would happen in the Founder Building of the Overwatch Council tonight. Elite soldiers, do you really need a big kill

As the autumn rain fell slowly, he coughed a few times, knowing that His Majesty's angry will could not be changed. He only hoped that when Fan Xian came back, the matter would be a foregone conclusion.

Outside the square building of the Overwatch Council, there was also autumn rain, and it was getting colder and colder. Yan Bingyun stood indifferently by the window. He had torn off the black cloth that had been covering the window and threw it under his feet.

He quietly looked in the direction of the palace, and issued one order after another calmly and forcefully. Relying on the trust of Chen Pingping and Fan Xian, he had already mastered a lot of power in the Overwatch Council, but with these powers, he still couldn't suppress the will-o'-the-wisp that was burning faintly inside the Overwatch Council.

The black will-o'-the-wisp that emanated from the hearts of these officials in black official uniforms.

Fortunately, Yan Bingyun has already made enough preparations beforehand. The senior officials, those officials who are extremely loyal to the old dean, have been sent to Xiliang and Jiangnan Dongyi in advance by him. They have already left Kyoto, otherwise the situation will be more difficult to control.

The news from the palace has spread to the courtyard, and the news that the old dean Chen assassinated His Majesty has also become a fact. His Majesty was seriously injured? Yan Bingyun didn't know if this was His Majesty's excuse, or whether the old Dean Chen whom he had always admired had really done something that many people could not accomplish.

However, none of this is important. He turned his gaze coldly and looked at the Qing Kingdom's elite troops who had not concealed their traces in the streets and alleys outside the Overwatch Council. He shook his head. He must keep this yard, especially when Chen Pingping must die. , when Fan Xian did not return.

No one can stand up to His Majesty and Qing's powerful state machine, even if the Overwatch Council is the most powerful part of this machine.

Yan Bingyun turned his head, looked at the seven host adults in the room, and quietly said: "Ready to take over..." His brows furrowed, and after a short pause, he finished speaking with great difficulty.

"Chen Pingping is the criminal."
