From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 158: A Fire in the Supervisory Council (Part )

The atmosphere within the Nanqing delegation was extremely solemn.

There was a hint of anxiety in the solemnity.

Qin Yuan left. The moment he received the information, he packed his luggage and left Shangjing City as quickly as possible.

The Dark King of Southern Qing, Chen Pingping, the President of the Supervisory Council, was assassinated. This news detonated the entire delegation and also detonated the capital of Northern Qi.

Fan Xian was the first person in Northern Qi to receive the news because the carrier eagle was the fastest.

But Chen Pingping was assassinated in public and it was impossible to hide it from anyone, so Northern Qi also got the news quickly, and then there was a burst of jubilation.

Over the years, the three words "Chen Pingping" have not only been a sword hanging over the heads of Nanqing officials, but also a sword hanging over the heads of Beiqi officials.

No one knows whether there are Chen Pingping's pawns around him, and no one knows what secrets this dark king of Nanqing knows or what he is planning in secret.

Like a lump in the throat!

For example, he died today.

It's like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing huge ripples.

I don’t know how many people who were secretly caught in the evidence breathed a sigh of relief and put down the heavy stone in their hearts. I also don’t know how many people were secretly sad and lit incense for him in the dark corners of their homes.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how is this possible!"

Yan Bingyun looked at the information in his hand, which he had read countless times, and kept muttering to himself, his eyes full of suspicion.

How could Dean Chen be assassinated? How could he die so hastily? How could he...

"The news has spread. Dean Chen was assassinated in Chengtian Palace. The entire court saw it. It's no secret." Fan Xian sighed, his mood was complicated.

He regarded Chen Pingping, the person he saw for the second time after he was born and who had secretly protected him as the dean, as a trustworthy elder in his heart. However, it was also this elder who made him see the darkness of this world through practice and the secret compromises of various people in the court, including himself.

He also knew that this elder was hiding many unknown secrets, some of which were closely related to him, but he would never have any bad intentions towards him.

In short, it is a mixed feeling, with a hint of sadness.

He wanted to go back and see the old man off for the last time.

But he knew that he would never be able to catch up.

"Outside Chengtian Palace, in front of everyone." Yan Bingyun shook his head and said, "Why wouldn't I believe it?"

"I don't believe it either!"

"Tell me, if this is a conspiracy, then who is the murderer?" Yan Bingyun looked at Fan Xian and asked.

Fan Xian's heart moved, and a figure flashed through his mind for no reason, but soon, another figure appeared.

He shook his head. "I don't know. I've only just arrived in Beijing and am not familiar with the people and things there. I only know that Dean Chen has offended too many people in his life. It could be anyone."

"Perhaps." Yan Bingyun's brows were still furrowed. "But anyone who can do this is definitely not an ordinary enemy."

Fan Xian didn't say anything, but just sat on the corridor outside the house, looking at the night with a melancholy look on his face.

Yan Bingyun walked up to him and took a look at his melancholy eyes. "Are you hiding something from me?"

Fan Xian glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, "If I say that it was Dean Chen who betrayed you, would you believe it?!"

Yan Bingyun's face froze, and it took him a long time to recover. He sighed softly, "The person is already dead. Does it matter whether you believe it or not?"

"Yes, everyone is dead. Kyoto should be very lively now, right?" Fan Xian sighed.

Kyoto, East Palace

The moon was at its zenith, and its frosty white light condensed into silver gauze and spread across the courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard, a red shadow danced like a startled swan, and the snow-white sword light lifted up the dead branches and leaves in the courtyard. As the branches and leaves fluttered, the silver light in the scarlet figure's hand drew snow-white arcs in the night sky. When the cold blade split the night wind, the sword tassels made a clear bell sound, shocking the mind.

"Good, good, Sister Ling'er has great swordsmanship!" Fan Ruoruo, whose pregnancy was already showing, sat on the chair, looking excited and clapping her hands in approval.

Under the moonlight, the cold light faded, the man in red stood still, and Ye Ling'er looked helpless.

Fan Ruoruo doesn't know any martial arts, they just watch her dance for fun.

As for the one who knew martial arts, he didn't even look in his direction!

"Humph!"

Ye Ling'er snorted coldly, and the long sword in her hand turned into a stream of light, shooting directly at someone sitting in a wheelchair, staring blankly at the moon in the sky.

Li Chengqian still looked at the moon in the sky. He raised his right hand and gently clamped the flying sword tip. He sighed, "You can't do this."

"I know I can't do it, but you have to tell me what to do. I'm stuck at the ninth level and can't make any progress. Do you know how uncomfortable this is?!"

"I didn't know that there are bottlenecks in practicing martial arts?!" Li Chengqian's face showed confusion, as if he had heard something incredible.

"You...!" Ye Ling'er was so angry that she almost slapped him without caring about anything.

"I don't care. You have to find a way for me. I must break through."

"Alas, although your aptitude is good, generally speaking, reaching the ninth rank is already very good. You are so young now, and you have already reached the ninth rank. It takes some time to settle down. It is not good to be too impatient."

"Then why not Mao Qiwu? If we don't mention him, Qin Yuan, Gui Zitian, and Guo Baokun are all at the ninth rank and have already started on their own paths. Why can't I?!"

"Don't underestimate their youth. They've all been by my side since they were little. I've paved the way for them step by step, tailored to their unique characteristics. It's been ten years, and we've only achieved the current results. How long have you been in the Eastern Palace?" Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Also, don't underestimate how cocky they all seem now. Each of them has gone through trials and tribulations. You're the Crown Princess now. Who dares to challenge you? I'm not afraid of being beaten to death. So, you're in more trouble than them. I'm going to find a methodical path for you to achieve Grandmaster status. It's going to take time."

"Then I'll go out and hone myself." Ye Ling'er's eyes lit up.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Chengqian said, "Your Highness, it's already night time, stop daydreaming."

"I……!"

"Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you."

At this time, Li Mingchuan walked quickly into the courtyard, came to Li Chengqian's side and said, "Eunuch Hou is here to deliver the imperial edict. He looks very anxious."

"in a hurry?!"

Li Chengqian's eyes moved slightly. Is it so fast?
Well, that makes sense. The new president of the Supervisory Yuan is Zhu Ge. Who is Zhu Ge’s man?
In the original novel, he was the eldest princess's man, but in fact he was more loyal to the royal family. When he came to power, he naturally followed the emperor's lead.

The position of the dean is different from that of the Badachu. He knows too many secrets. No matter how secretive Chen Pingping's actions were before, the person is already dead. As long as Zhu Ge pays attention, he will definitely find something wrong. Even if it is just a small clue, as long as he follows the clues, he will definitely find something surprising.

No external force is needed to push it forward.

However, Li Mingchuan's next words made Li Chengqian frown.

"Your Highness, I just received news that Shadow killed Zhuge, set fire to the Overwatch Council, and fled Kyoto."
