Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 462: How high is the sudden death rate of being my father-in-law
Just as Fan Xian was about to ask him what he remembered, Wu Zhu opened his palm, revealing three golden bullets, each ten centimeters long.

"This is... Barrett's bullet? Uncle Wu Zhu, have you gone to find the bullet?"

Last time, he used his domineering true energy to exchange for the key to the suitcase. After opening it, he found the letter that Ye Qingmei left for the two of them and the Barrett that had sniped King Chu and King Xin. However, what was maddening was that there was only a gun but no bullets inside. Wu Zhu's answer at the time was that he had forgotten where the bullets were hidden.

Unexpectedly, the battle in Cangzhou unlocked Wuzhu's memory about bullets.

"The bullet was hidden by the young lady in Cangshan Mountain."

"Cangshan..."

"I also met the temple messenger there."

Hearing the words "temple messenger", Fan Xian was shocked: "Was it the temple messenger who led you away when my mother was in trouble?"

Wu Zhu nodded: "That's right."

"Uncle, are you okay?"

"No."

"What about the temple messenger?"

"When he saw he couldn't beat me, he ran away."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian let out a long sigh and looked at the Barrett bullets in his hand. His mind went around in circles. He didn't expect the situation to become more and more chaotic, and even the temple messenger came out.

Wu Zhu walked up to him and said, "What about Chu Pingsheng? Do you want to kill him?"

"If he insists on marrying Wan'er..."

Fan Xian clenched the Barrett bullet in his hand.

He would never allow Chu Pingsheng to ruin his chicken leg girl.

Wu Zhu said: "Okay, I will help you hold back Bai Feng then."

Fan Xian said in an uncertain tone: "Uncle Wu Zhu...you and Bai Feng..."

"As long as he doesn't use that weird sword technique, he'll be fine. I'll try my best to fight him, and that should solve the problem."

"..."

Fan Xian pondered for a long time: "Uncle Wu Zhu, what do you think about us joining forces with Li Yunqian on this matter?"

Wu Zhu lowered his head, thought for a moment, and nodded gently.

"it is good."

Fan Xian thought this was the most correct choice. After all, Li Yunqian was there. He could slowly consider and plan whether to avenge his mother's murder and how to do it. As for Lin Wan'er, Chu Pingsheng had already issued an ultimatum. With Li Yunqian's character, he would even betray his beloved woman, let alone his niece.

And as for Fan Ruoruo, he also couldn't just watch her become the concubine of that lecherous bastard.

Lin Wan'er and Fan Ruoruo.

Since Chu Pingsheng was determined to snatch the woman from him, there was nothing he could do but to send Chu Pingsheng to see the King of Hell.

……

The next day, nothing had changed.

It just seemed that nothing had changed, but the court officials attending the celebration banquet knew that the situation had changed, because Li Yunqian simply missed the morning court and did not change the earlier arranged marriage. Not only that, there was no follow-up to the fact that the eldest prince was killed by Chu Pingsheng. It seemed that the body was going to be kept for a while before being buried.

If you want to know why they did this, it's very simple. Chu Pingsheng gave a deadline of seven days to complete the marriage. If the funeral of the eldest prince is held first, then the date will be too close to the princess' wedding, which will be difficult to handle.

From these two points, it can be seen that Li Yunqian compromised.

To be honest, this is embarrassing and hard to watch, but what can we do? Bai Feng, with two swords, killed Ku He and Si Gu Jian in Shangjing City, and Shang Shan Hu and Xiao En made the Zhan family a puppet without any soldiers. If Master Bai Feng and his apprentice replicated the operation in Northern Qi, what would the Li family do to stop them? The prince is Chu Pingsheng's apprentice. Li Yunrui broke up with his brother for this son-in-law. Master Bai Feng and his apprentice killed Li Yunqian in the morning and made Li Chengqian the emperor in the afternoon.

It was only because Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian stood behind Emperor Qing that he did not cut the Gordian knot. In fact, Chu Pingsheng had been forcing Emperor Qing to turn against him, wanting to find out the true strength of Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian so that he could strike back.

Lin Ruofu, Qin Ye, Fei Jie, Yan Ruohai... these people have a grudge against Chu Pingsheng, so they naturally stand on Li Yunqian's side, even if the emperor is a cold-blooded bastard. Those low-level officials, like Hu Jinzhu and Xin Qiwu, behaved very ambiguously under the prince's command.

In short, the atmosphere in the entire Kyoto city was extremely weird. On the surface, all institutions were operating stably and officials in various government offices were doing their jobs, but high-ranking officials who heard the news were using various channels to transfer their families out of the city. The lower-class civilians who got up early and went to bed late every day to sell their labor, skills, and smiles might not know the meaning of Bai Feng Song Zhong, but how could they not know.

On the third day, a message spread among the circles of dignitaries that Ye Zhong, who was exiled to Jinzhou by Li Yunqian and had never been transferred back to Kyoto for unknown reasons, was attacked and killed while on patrol. His head was cut off, and more than a hundred soldiers who accompanied him were killed. Not even a single enemy body was found afterwards.

You have to know that Ye Chong is a great master of the ninth rank. According to normal logic, to cause such losses to the Qing army, it must be the result of the actions of Master Bai Feng and his apprentice. However, according to the report of the people from the Supervisory Council who were ambushed in the Minister of War's mansion, Chu Pingsheng has been staying in the mansion since the celebration banquet, enjoying various leisure and entertainment with the three women, and has not gone out.

Although Haitang Duoduo showed her powerful disguise skills at the celebration banquet, Kyoto is so far away from Jinzhou that even if one rides a fast horse and travels day and night, it will take more than two days to get there, so the time does not match.

However, what is certain is that Ye Chong's death was the direct consequence of Ye Liuyun's attack on Chu Pingsheng. Ordinary people did not see the battle, but the people in the Supervisory Council knew about it. This made many officials realize the reality that Chu Pingsheng was not joking at the eldest prince's celebration banquet. Being his father-in-law is indeed the most dangerous job in the world. If he says he will kill, he will kill, without any ambiguity.

The talk about Chu Pingsheng chopping off his father-in-law's head in anger had not yet died down when on the fourth day another piece of news exploded. To be precise, the Ministry of War had been hiding the secret for several days, but could not hide it anymore - the Northern Qi army, led by Uesugi Tora, was unstoppable and captured several cities in three days. In just half a month, they not only recovered the one and a half states that had been lost earlier, but also pushed the front line into the territory of Qing for a hundred miles.

Because of the disappearance of Yan Xiaoyi and the deaths of the eldest prince Li Chengru, Wang Zhikun, Cao Jinghua, Wu Feng and others, the Southern Qing army was basically on the verge of collapse when facing the morale-boosted Northern Qi army. Even the sound of drums and shouts of killing from the opposite side made the Qing army's legs go weak.

At this time, the officials attending the banquet realized that what Chu Pingsheng said was true. Bai Feng was in Kyoto to support Shangshanhu. Whenever a great master appeared on the battlefield, Li Yunqian's life would be in danger.

The master and the disciple were not joking at all, nor were they exaggerating. They were truly destroying the Qing Kingdom step by step.

……

Day .

The moon is like a hook, and Changgeng shines.

In the Funing Palace, the queen was wearing a wide robe and sitting on a low couch covered with bedding. In front of her was a silver-gilt wine jar on a wooden tray, with a wooden spoon for scooping wine on the edge and a green wine cup next to it. The wine utensils were obviously not a set, but it didn't matter, because she was drinking a happy little wine, not like before when she drank to drown her sorrows.

Now, her biggest wish and the thing that makes her most happy is to see Li Yunqian being humiliated, especially since the one who makes Li Yunqian humiliated is the little man who gave her a second spring.

wow...

She rolled up her sleeves, reached out, picked up the wooden spoon, scooped some wine into the goblet, raised it to her lips, and drank it all in one gulp.

All in all, she hasn't had a drink for almost a month.

Quite greedy.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, shaking the flame on the candlestick and casting a swaying shadow on the ground.

The Queen looked at the open north window, thinking that the person she had been thinking about had come, but he was not.

She was a little disappointed, but she also understood that Kyoto was in a turbulent time right now, so it was normal that he couldn't take care of her.

"You seem to be in a good mood, and you've even had a drink."

A teasing voice sounded behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, a pair of hands passed through her arms from behind and hugged her. Then, a hot and humid breath sprayed behind her ears: "Your window has been open for several days, right?"

The queen sighed in a dreamy voice: "Hmm..."

"Miss me?"

"Are you trying to scare me to death? You always appear before me silently like a ghost."

"Dead ghost, dead ghost, of course I have to be like a ghost."

"You are not a dead ghost, you are a hungry ghost, a lustful hungry ghost."

"That's perfect. I'll eat you up tonight and make sure you can't get off the ground tomorrow."

Chu Pingsheng nodded at the wine cup in her hand.

The queen cooperated by handing him the cup and watching him drink up the wine in it.

"Li Yunqian has been patient all his life. He won't give up just like that."

"Si Gu Jian has entered the palace."

"how do you know?"

"It's easy for me to hide it from them, but it's basically impossible for them to hide it from me."

Si Gu Jian, Ye Liuyun, Li Yunqian... three.

Although Chu Pingsheng said that even three grand masters couldn't kill him, she was still a little worried.

"Are you sure you can handle the three of them?"

"There is still one."

"besides?"

"Has Li Yunqian behaved in any unusual way recently?"

"Qian'er said that he has been going to the Qing Temple more often recently."

"He went to meet the temple messenger, the mysterious man who led Wuzhu away when your mother's family attacked Taiping Villa."

"How about the temple messenger compared to the grandmaster?"

"I think it's 90% capable."

"Doesn't that mean you have to deal with four great masters? Can you do it?"

Chu Pingsheng pulled her into his arms, hugging her like a princess, and while untying the belt of her crown, he said, "The ancients said that a night of spring is worth a thousand gold coins. Can we not talk about these things that spoil the fun?"

"It's all up to you..."

The queen watched him gently untie his belt and take off his clothes, but in the next breath, her face turned serious as if she suddenly remembered something.

"Earlier, Qian'er went to the Imperial Study to ask Li Yunqian to give up his position as Crown Prince. When he was kneeling under the eaves, he saw Concubine Yi coming in and out. What do you think... could she be..."

Concubine Yi is the mother of the Third Prince; she is also the cousin of Fan Jian's concubine Liu Ruyu. The compiler of Baowen Hall who was killed by Chu Pingsheng at the Four Kingdoms Banquet was the grandson of Duke Liu. It is normal for her to worry that Liu Ruyu is doing something behind her back that is detrimental to Chu Pingsheng.

"It's just Fan Xian and Li Yunqian working together, and she's just acting as the middleman." Chu Pingsheng shook his head: "It seems that Li Chengru's death still didn't serve as a warning to others."

"Won't Wuzhu still target you?"

"Yes."

The Queen's grip on his wrist was noticeably stronger: "Five to one, you have no chance of winning. Why don't you... stay out of the spotlight for now."

"I have my own plans, like coming to see you today."

Chu Pingsheng pushed her onto the couch and said, "I'm glad you're worried about me, but from now on, get those messy thoughts out of your head."

"But... you..."

Chu Pingsheng said: "If you can't squeeze it out yourself, then... I'll help you."
