Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 465 Family members, whether to kill Fan Ruoruo or not, waiting online
At the same time, inside the Supervisory Council, Yan Ruohai, the chief of four offices, pushed Chen Pingping in front of hundreds of staff members wearing Supervisory Council uniforms and holding long swords. He crossed his hands on his knees and said in a shrill voice, "Li Zheng Street will be closed for one incense stick. Not to mention cats and dogs, not even a bird can be allowed in."

"Yes."

The people in front responded with swords in their hands, and filed out under the leadership of a host named Zhuge.

Soon, there was no sound in the yard, and only the two of them were left.

Yan Ruohai said: "I hope everything goes well today."

"At this time... Wang Qinian must have left the city."

Chen Pingping looked up at the southern sky.

"Don't worry, he will escort Fan Jian, Liu Ruyu and others out of the city, nothing will happen." Yan Ruohai said: "After all, Master Baifeng and his apprentice are alone, and their helpers are only the Northern Qi Saintess Haitang Duoduo and Xiao En. The people in the city are already overwhelmed, so how can they have the energy to take care of the people in the Fan Mansion."

"The enemy isn't just Master Bai Feng and his apprentice."

Chen Pingping tilted his body and glanced across the palace. He had made up his mind that once the plan was almost completed, he would go to the palace to meet the emperor and put an end to everything with Li Yunqian.

After all, Fan Xian is the son of Emperor Qing, and patricide is not appropriate, so let him do it and avenge Ye Qingmei.

It was he who wiped out the Queen's family twenty years ago, so it is time for him to put an end to the mastermind behind the incident.

Chen Pingping stroked the armrest of the wheelchair, seemed to remember something, and fell into memories.

At this time, Yan Bingyun, dressed in white and with a stern look, walked up to the two of them from behind: "Dad, Dean, the killer is ready."

Yan Ruohai nodded: "Let's do it."

"Xin Qiwu is fine, but as for Hu Jinzhu... on the way south with the envoys, I noticed that this man was not Chu Pingsheng's accomplice. Could it be..."

Yan Ruohai said in a deep voice: "Bingyun, remember, this is a matter concerning the survival of the Qing Kingdom. It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go."

"Yes, Dad."

Yan Bingyun bowed and took his leave. According to Yan Ruohai's request, he went to kill Xin Qiwu, Hu Jinzhu and other people who had contact with Chu Pingsheng. Because if Sean and the Northern Qi Jinyiwei had already sneaked into the city, the best hiding place would not be the Chu Mansion, but the homes of Xin Qiwu, Hu Jinzhu and others.

"It's cold outside. It's not good for your legs. Come inside."

Yan Ruohai reminded him and pushed Chen Pingping back.

"Where's Jing Ge?"

"The Black Knights are ready to go."

Chen Pingping nodded: "Go in."

The Black Knights were led by Jing Ge, and Gundam also controlled the Tiger Guards.

After the death of Master Bai Feng and his apprentice, he killed Li Yunqian. With the Tiger Guards and the Black Cavalry forcing the emperor to abdicate, the Red Cavalry in the palace and the inner palace guards whose morale was low after the death of Gong Dian would probably not choose to fight head-on. By then, whether to support Fan Xian to ascend the throne or to let Concubine Yi's son, the third prince Li Chengping, succeed to the throne would all be possible.

"Um...wait..."

When they were almost at the entrance of the hall, Chen Pingping suddenly raised his hand to stop.

Yan Ruohai frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Pingping did not say anything, but just turned his body and listened towards the southwest.

……

the other side.

At the gate of the imperial palace, eight men and women in black tights, led by a man wearing a bamboo hat and emitting murderous intent, walked out, step by step, towards Lizheng Street.

It’s strange that nine people were walking together, but there was no sound from beneath them, just like a group of ghosts in the dark night.

The commander of the eighth-rank Red Cavalry who was on duty outside the palace gate recognized them - the swordsman from Dongyi City, the disciple of the grandmaster Si Gu Jian. The man in the front wearing a bamboo hat, a brown short shirt, and holding a long sword three inches longer than an ordinary long sword was none other than Yun Zhilan, the ninth-rank upper-level master who had been to Kyoto City during the Four Kingdoms Night Banquet.

Si Gu Jian had a total of thirteen disciples. If we include the one who died at the Prince's celebration banquet and the shadow of the head of the Sixth Department of the Inspectorate, there were a total of ten people who came to Kyoto City. In other words, there was only one ninth-rank strongman left in Dongyi City at this time. In order to fight against Master Bai Feng and his apprentice, Dongyi City could be said to have sent out all its capable people.

The Red Cavalry Commander expressed his doubts. Logically speaking, these people could not interfere in the battle between the grandmasters, so the opponent of Yun Zhilan and others could only be Chu Pingsheng.

Is that guy worth all nine of them attacking together?

Just at this moment, something happened again in front. A man walked out of the alley on the left. The candlelight in the lampstands on both sides of the long road flickered, reflecting an old face with white beard.

He is the top boss in the military, the Privy Councilor Qin Ye!
Even he couldn't sit still. Was he going to take action against Master Bai Feng and his apprentice?
Ten people!

However, ten people were not enough.

The Red Riders saw a carriage coming from the left sidewalk. As the curtain was lifted, three people walked out. Because of the distance, the facial features could not be seen clearly. In fact, even if they were closer, they might not be able to see clearly. They were all wearing black cloaks with deep hoods and pointed upwards at the back.

This outfit...

“Sir, it seems to be the priests in the Qing Temple. Even they are alarmed?”

"Ask what you should ask, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Uh, yes."

The Red Cavalry Commander scolded his subordinates, turned around and looked at the thirteen people who gathered together and walked towards the Chu Mansion.

Even the three priests of Lianqing Temple were alarmed.

The strong men of Qing Kingdom...can be said to have come out in full force.

...Lizheng Street.

From south to north, from Mingzheng Street in the east to Fuzheng Street in the west, the entire area is very quiet... There are no people on the street, not even a cat. The only sound is the rustling of willow branches in the wind.

Zhu Ge, the head of a department, stood in the shadow of a big mulberry tree, looking at the Chu Mansion from afar, with a deep crane-foot wrinkle on his brow.

He is actually the eldest princess's man, and the eldest princess is now in Chu Pingsheng's house. As a subordinate, he should have given a warning in advance, but he didn't. It's not that he has turned over a new leaf, turned over a new leaf, and joined Chen Pingping's team. It should be said that he was loyal to Qing Kingdom from the beginning. He knew that Chen Pingping, Fei Jie, Yan Ruohai and others were Fan Xian's dogs. He couldn't stand it, but now both sides had common short-term interests - interests that could only be maintained by killing Master Bai Feng and his apprentice.

"Tell the people below to be smart. The dean said Yan Xiaoyi might launch a surprise attack. Once the target is confirmed, report to me immediately."

"Yes."

An officer took the order and left.

Yan Xiaoyi is an archer and his attack style is very recognizable, so it is easy to confirm whether this traitor is participating in the battle.

Zhu Ge looked back at the gate of Chu Mansion.

Yan Xiaoyi is loyal to Li Yunrui, who is fundamentally different from him.

call out……

Suddenly, a sound of breaking air came from far away, and a black shadow rushed over and appeared on the wall of the Minister of War's Mansion diagonally opposite the gate of the Chu Mansion.

"Don't be nervous, we're one family."

Zhu Ge reminded his subordinates, squinting at the man holding the iron rod, with a black cloth covering his eyes, and a face as hard as iron. He wondered if that was the man around Fan Xian who could rival the Grandmaster? But why was he blindfolded all the time?

There was no sound, or any sign, but an old man in a white robe, with flowing beard and holding a long emerald green staff appeared on the roof of the front hall of the Chu Mansion.

Zhu Ge's face darkened, thinking that the Western Hu Grandmaster Bai Feng was really alert, and he was discovered as soon as the blindfolded man fell.

"What is your relationship with the young lady?"

"..."

"What's that sword technique about?"

"No comment."

"Your apprentice and his family are all in your house now. You don't want them to be affected by the battle, do you dare to go outside the city to fight?"

"Why don't you dare."

The blindfolded man put away the iron rod, stepped on the ground with his toes, turned in the air, and rushed southwest.

Bai Feng, the great master of Xihu, also followed closely with a green bamboo staff in hand.

Zhu Ge exerted force on his feet, borrowed the strength from the wall of a nearby house, and jumped onto the big mulberry tree behind him. He infused his true energy with his eyes and looked, and saw two figures, one black and one white, crossing the wall in the night and quickly going away.

At this time, there was also movement in the palace. The window of the southwest corner tower opened, and two gray shadows, one in front and one behind, leaped quickly on the endless buildings in Kyoto City, chasing the two people in front out of the city.

"Si Gu Jian and Ye Liu Yun have also moved... It's time."

……

At the same time, in the pavilion on the rockery in the back garden of the Chu Mansion.

Fan Ruoruo walked up to Chu Pingsheng from behind with a glass of wine in her hand: "What happened in front...?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it's Wuzhu who's here to challenge Master."

"Wuzhu? Are you talking about the servant next to my brother? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Is it?"

Chu Pingsheng turned his head and said with a fake smile: "He has a bad memory and his mind is a little confused, so his behavior is hard to predict."

"How do you know more about him...than my brother?"

Fan Ruoruo asked as she handed him the wine glass.

"Xinliu Bookstore has published a new book called The Art of War. I wonder if you have read it. There is a good saying in it: Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

"The Art of War?" Fan Ruoruo said with regret, "No."

"That's a pity."

"Aren't you worried about the old master?"

"How could that be? I have confidence in him. He's just Wu Zhu. It's not like I haven't fought him before."

Fan Ruoruo clinked her cup with his, but took a sip instead of taking a deep drink. She then walked outside the pavilion, stood on the highest point of the rockery and looked up at the sky: "Come and see, the moon is so beautiful tonight."

Chu Pingsheng drank the wine in the glass, put the glass on the round stone table in the middle, walked to Fan Ruoruo, and looked in the direction she pointed: "Compared to last night, there is no difference."

Just as he was answering the question about the concubine, on the top of the Jingxuan in the backyard of the Minister of War's Mansion, which was only across the street from the Chu Mansion, Fan Xian, holding a Barrett, aimed at Chu Pingsheng, who was having an affair with his sister.

Of course, the affection between the man and the woman here is just pretended.

From Fan Ruoruo's request to be the first to spend the wedding night with Chu Pingsheng to her proposal to go to the back garden to listen to the wind and admire the moon, everything was planned by them. The purpose was to lure Chu Pingsheng to a location suitable for sniping.

To be precise, this suggestion was made by Fan Ruoruo, because she had visited the Ningyang Princess's Mansion before and knew that there was a rockery in the back garden. On the top of the rockery, there was a small pavilion for cooling off in the summer and enjoying the scenery in the autumn. Although it was high and could see far, it was easily exposed to the view of the surrounding neighbors.
