At this moment, Chen Pingping was facing a wall.
There are some wild flowers growing under the wall.
A rare ray of sunlight happened to shine through the upper right window, illuminating the wildflowers.
It adds a bit of warmth to the eerie environment of the Inspection Institute.
But at this moment, Chen Pingping seemed to be staring at a few withering flowers on the wall in a daze.
Lu Xiao and the other two stepped forward.
Fan Xian was the first to speak.
"Dean, what are you looking at, Zero?"
Chapter 253: Diplomatic Mission to Northern Qi
After hearing Fan Xian's voice, Chen Pingping came to his senses from his daze.
Then he said, "Look at these flowers. They have plenty of water and sunlight, so why are they all withering?"
There was a hint of deep worry in his tone.
Fan Xian couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect that the feared Dean Chen would be worried about the wallflower right now."
Lu Xiao beside him couldn't help but say, "Silly boy, he's not worried about the flowers, he's worried about you."
"Ah, worried about me?" Fan Xian was stunned.
Chen Pingping glanced at Lu Xiao with dissatisfaction, as if he was really disgusted that Lu Xiao had exposed his thoughts.
Then he continued to say to Fan Xian, "These are the seeds your mother planted back then."
When these words came out, Fan Xian was immediately moved.
But seeing that he ignored him, Lu Xiao immediately interrupted and said, "You are also the seed left by your mother."
Chen Pingping finally couldn't help himself this time and turned around and said angrily, "Seven Eight Three."
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Lu Xiao said, "I hate it when people like you are so secretive. Can't you just be more straightforward? You're talking about seeds and flowers, and you don't mind the hassle."
After saying this, he stepped forward, raised his arm, and a gentle stream of energy immediately flowed towards the flower patch in the corner.
The next moment, the withered flowers began to come back to life at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, all the flowers bloomed.
Then Lu Xiao said, "Alright, your flower is fine. Let's get down to business. I'm accompanying my wife, Lili, back to visit her parents. Emperor Qing will definitely make some moves after I leave. Please help me keep an eye on things in Kyoto. Besides one place, there's also Yunlu Academy. I don't want Emperor Qing to get involved in either of these places."
At this moment, Chen Pingping and Fan Xian were still in a daze.
Because Lu Xiao's behavior just now was too contrary to the laws of nature.
"Hey, I'm talking about serious matters, please listen carefully!"
Lu Xiao shouted in dissatisfaction.
Only then did Chen Pingping come to his senses, and his first question was:
"Can a Grandmaster defy fate?"
The world only knows that the Grandmaster is very powerful, but few people have the opportunity to see how powerful he is.
Lu Xiao was speechless.
It seems that this cripple didn't hear a word of what he just said.
So he said angrily, "The Grand Master can't do it, only I can. Are you satisfied? Did you hear what I just said?"
Chen Pingping then said, "I heard. I'm in Kyoto, so nothing will go wrong. But aren't you worried about anything outside of Kyoto?"
Lu Xiao said, "Don't worry about that. I'm just worried about the journey being too boring."
Hearing such confident words, Chen Pingping was speechless.
Then he added, "Then please help me take good care of Fan Xian."
Lu Xiao laughed and said, "I've finally discovered that you're more like his father than his biological father. Don't worry, I guarantee he won't die."
He emphasized the word "Dad" very much.
Chen Pingping subconsciously looked up at him.
He felt that Lu Xiao seemed to know who Fan Xian's biological father was.
But then he thought about the information Lu Xiao had revealed during their previous negotiations. It was incredible, so knowing this now didn't seem surprising.
"That's good." Chen Pingping nodded.
His demands were not high, as long as Fan Xian could come back alive.
Lu Xiao is not a person without tact.
He had finished his business, and it seemed that Chen Pingping still had many farewell words to say to Fan Xian.
So he doesn't want to stay here and be a light bulb.
So he said goodbye and left immediately.
After he left, Fan Xian finally understood the meaning behind their conversation, so he asked Chen Pingping in confusion.
"Wait, I'm just going on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi. What danger could there be? Haven't the two countries already reached a truce?"
Chen Pingping immediately said, "This mission to Northern Qi is both a test and an opportunity for you. Bringing Yan Bingyun back smoothly is unlikely to happen. There's a high probability that something will go wrong along the way."
"Oh." Fan Xian nodded.
Chen Pingping continued, "Yan Bingyun is currently in the hands of Northern Qi's Imperial Guards. Their commander, Shen Zhong, is very dangerous. If you face him, be extremely careful."
Fan Xian nodded. "Well, anyone who's remembered by you is definitely not a good person. But don't worry too much. Brother Lu will be going with me this time. With a Grandmaster like him around, even if Shen Zhong holds sway in Northern Qi, he won't dare to do anything too radical."
Chen Pingping said, "If he doesn't go, I wouldn't be too worried about you."
"What?" Fan Xian asked subconsciously.
Chen Pingping sighed and said, "Because he's a Grandmaster, the danger of this trip has increased significantly. Some things are even beyond my control. Only Grandmasters can deal with them. Once two Grandmasters fight, everyone around them could become cannon fodder at any time. Stay as far away from him as possible to avoid being caught in the crossfire."
"what!"
Fan Xian was completely dumbfounded.
He originally thought that with Lu Xiao around, he would be safer.
But now it sounds like it might as well not be there.
Two days later, the delegation to Northern Qi was finally finalized.
Fan Xian is the chief envoy.
Dozens of officials from the Ministry of Rites accompanied him.
In addition, Fan Jian also sent his own Tiger Guards to accompany him for protection.
Nanqing has three major cavalry units.
Chen Pingping's Black Cavalry, Emperor Qing's Red Armored Cavalry, and Fan Jian's Tiger Guards.
Among them, the Black Knights are the strongest in the world.
A hundred black knights can surround and kill a ninth-rank warrior.
A thousand black knights can go up nine.
Emperor Qing had issued an order that the number of Black Cavalry should not exceed 1,000.
This shows how wary he was of the Black Knights.
Next is the red-armored cavalry under Emperor Qing's command.
The Red Armored Cavalry belonged to the Imperial Guards.
Only responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family.
In comparison, the Red Armored Cavalry has the weakest individual combat capability among the three, but also has the largest number of them.
Finally, there is the Tiger Guard.
The Tiger Guards in Fan Jian's hands were created with the permission of Emperor Qing.
The original duty of the Tiger Guards was to protect the Emperor.
However, when Fan Jian was training these people, he secretly added a little selfishness and took the best of them for himself.
Although this group of people is not large in number, their individual combat capabilities are quite impressive.
Even the Black Knights can't compare.
Of course, the shadow must be excluded and calculated separately.
If we include Shadow, Tiger Guard will be no match for him.
This time, when Fan Xian was sent on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi, Fan Jian was willing to send his Tiger Guards, which showed that he cared about Fan Xian just as much as Chen Pingping did.
It's just that his fatherly love for Fan Xian is different from Chen Pingping's fatherly love for Fan Xian.
Fan Xian's father is indeed a bit too much.
Father-in-law Lin Ruofu, master Fei Jie, uncle Chen Pingping, biological father Emperor Qing, wet-father Wu Zhu, and nominal father Fan Jian.
That's six in total.
Ordinary people really can't compare with it.
Except for Lin Ruofu, the rest are the precious wealth left to him by his mother.
I have to say, Ye Qingmei's charm is really extraordinary.
Chapter 254 Sean
At the entrance of the Inspection Court.
The people in the hospital were on high alert, each holding a weapon, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
People passing by on the street, seeing this scene, were naturally filled with confusion.
People from the Inspection Office rarely look like this.
At this moment, the gate of the Inspection Office slowly opened, and a dozen officers holding swords and spears came out, escorting a prisoner.
The prisoner's hair was disheveled and his face could not be seen clearly.
In addition to the handcuffs and anklets, he was also wrapped in a thick iron chain.
With such a big scene, it's obvious that they are going to commit a crime.
After this person walked out of the Inspection Office, he subconsciously looked up at the sun in the sky, his face filled with nostalgia.
Only then did everyone see his true appearance.
He looked to be in his fifties, with a pale, bloodless complexion, but his features were fairly regular, and his eyes held an inexplicable majesty.
Obviously, this person must have been in a high position for a long time.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have become prisoners and still have such temperament.
This man is none other than the former Northern Qi great evil leader Sean.
At this moment, Chen Pingping, Fan Xian, and Fei Jie, who had just returned to Kyoto City today, were all waiting at the entrance of the Inspection Institute.
After seeing Sean come out, several people looked over at the same time.
After taking a deep breath of fresh air, Sean looked down at them.
"Uh, the smell of sunshine~"
The words were full of enjoyment.
"Go! Go ...
The officer in charge of escorting him immediately shouted at him and simultaneously whipped out two sticks and hit him.
The next moment, Sean's eyes suddenly became sharp. He slowly turned his head, glanced at the inspector who had attacked him, and said coldly.
"Do you have any family? Let them live well. I will go find them."
His tone was calm, but there was no hint of joking.
The inspector who had attacked him earlier subconsciously avoided his gaze.
