From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 153 Thorn

Ghostly Fog Space
Li Chengqian gently opened his eyes.

"So, you beat up Captain America and poached Stark's girlfriend, Scarlet Witch. You have good taste."

It has nothing to do with vision, I just simply admire Wanda's abilities.

"cut!"

"It's time to take action. How sure are you?"

"Qi Wu has always been meticulous in his actions, perfect."

"Under the current situation, Chen Pingping is no longer important. What I need now is the technology of this world. Robots like Wuzhu are good. There seems to be another one besides him."

"Yes, I have arranged it through Qingmiao. I hope he can give me a little surprise."

"I got some information from the Stark Group's database through Red Queen. I hope it will be useful to you."

"It's very useful. I think the first computer after the end of the world will be born soon." Li Chengqian said complacently.

"That's good." Meier smiled.

MCU Universe, S.H.I.E.L.D.
Coulson and Clint stared at Natasha in amazement, as if they had heard a ghost story.

"He is Tony's illegitimate son, and he knocked Captain America unconscious?" Coulson said in disbelief.

"I seriously doubt that Steve fainted because of her."

Thinking of everything that happened at the Avengers headquarters, Natasha smiled bitterly and said, "His mouth is nothing compared to Stark's!"

"Uh, um, did this happen after I left?" Clint raised his hands, his face full of annoyance.

What a regret! If he hadn't been so anxious, he would have been able to see this big show.

"The problem now is not this, but that the Avengers are about to disappear."

"What do you mean?"

"It's all because of him. Our actions before were too reckless. In his words, we had no rules. We were only focused on completing the mission and ignored the issue of collateral damage. Now that he's pointed it out, everyone's mood is heavy. Stark and Steve are arguing fiercely."

Natasha sighed, "After their argument, Wanda seemed very disappointed. She should come to S.H.I.E.L.D. tomorrow."

These words made both of them fall silent at the same time.

"So even if I don't retire, I'll be out of a job soon, right?"

"Clint, don't say that. SHIELD always has its doors open for you."

"Forget it, you should think about how to close this door of mine."

——I am the dividing line——

Joy of Life World, The East Palace
Li Chengqian walked out of the bedroom in the morning light.

Mao Qiwu was already waiting outside the door.

"It's all arranged."

"Yes."

"Let's go. Today's court session will be very interesting." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first day of the lunar month

Civil and military officials were waiting outside the palace gate early in the morning. When the palace gate was opened, they filed in and entered the Chengtian Hall, standing on the left and right.

In recent months, the civil and military officials in the Qing court have become more energetic and spirited than before, especially the military officers, who are cheerful every day.

There was no other way, since Daqing had an extra Grand Master. As for the civil officials, no matter what they thought, at least they had to celebrate with the country on the surface.

Some observant people have discovered that the process of court meetings and the speed of implementing various policies seem to have accelerated. Those who used to like to sing a different tune and express themselves in the court have now become much more low-key.

Faintly, it seemed as if something was lurking.

However, there were also rumors circulating secretly that several civil servants were in a very bad mood. They did not show anything in public, but they often got angry at home.

Inside Chengtian Hall, the court ceremony had not yet begun, and there was some noise in the hall.

As Li Chengqian walked into the hall, the entire hall fell silent.

"Meet the prince!"

The civil and military officers were in perfect harmony, as if they had been rehearsed.

Such a scene has never happened before.

"No need to be so polite, sirs. Second brother, don't follow their example. If you do that, I will shorten my life." Li Chengqian took a few steps forward and helped up the bent-over Prince of Zhao, Li Chengze.

Li Chengze smiled and said nothing more.

With the appearance of Eunuch Hou, the grand court ceremony on the first day of the new moon officially began.

Although the Qing Kingdom is strong and prosperous, and seems to have a bright future, only those in a high position can understand how many trivial and troublesome things there are every day.

Officials came forward one after another, reporting matters concerning themselves and waiting for a decision.

These things may not be big, but they are all very troublesome without exception. Some of them even make Emperor Qing frown when he hears them.

About half an hour later, all the trivial matters that seemed like foreplay were dealt with. Emperor Qing looked at Chen Pingping and said, "How are things going in the south?"

Chen Pingping bowed slightly. "Your Majesty, we have now determined that the murderer is an unknown master. He landed on the South China Sea and headed north, killing forty-two people along the way. He was later tracked down by the Overwatch Council. Nanning Governor Mu Hongyuan mobilized his troops to surround and kill him, but his entire army was annihilated, and Mu Hongyuan also died at the hands of the murderer. Five days later, the murderer struck again in Fanyang, but was caught by the Overwatch Council and tracked down all the way. We received news this morning that the murderer had reached Huaiyin two days ago."

"Do you know the murderer's purpose?!"

"I don't know. The murderer is extremely powerful. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, Mu Hongyuan mobilized two ninth-grade masters, but they still failed. I speculate that the opponent is at least an upper-ninth-grade master. The Supervisory Office specializes in tracking, not direct combat, so they dare not get too close."

"Yes, they reached Huaiyin two days ago. Perhaps they are already close to the river." Emperor Qing nodded. "A ninth-rank expert, Cheng Qian, it seems that this time, someone from your Eastern Palace will be needed to take action."

"Let Qi Wu go." Li Chengqian did not refuse, nor did he need to refuse. Everything was in his plan.

With the last thing finalized, the court meeting came to an end.

When the court was dismissed, Eunuch Hou came to Li Chengqian and said carefully, "Your Highness, after the court is dismissed, His Majesty has summoned you to my humble garden."

"I understand." Li Chengqian nodded. Ever since he revealed his Grandmaster's strength, Emperor Qing's attitude towards him had changed. From the previous sharpening of the knife, stirring up the fire, and testing...

All of this no longer existed. Instead, I would call Li Chengqian to my garden whenever I had nothing to do, take a walk, and talk. The relationship between father and son seemed to have become harmonious.

Of course, for Li Chengqian, it was more of a test.

After the court was dismissed, the ministers left Chengtian Hall in twos and threes, while Li Chengqian followed Eunuch Hou to the back hall and headed towards Zhuoyuan.

Before I had taken a few steps, I vaguely heard a noise coming from in front of the hall.

Neither of them paid any attention to it. Before they had taken a few steps, they saw a eunuch hurrying up from behind. He ran to them breathlessly, his face pale and his words incoherent.

"Your Highness, no...something bad has happened. Dean Chen has been...assassinated!"

"What?" Before Li Chengqian could react, Eunuch Hou grabbed the eunuch's collar and practically yelled, "What did you say? Say it again!"

"President Chen was assassinated." The young eunuch finally caught his breath and told the shocking news in full.

Chen Pingping was assassinated!
