Chapter 462: On how high the sudden death rate is for my father-in-law
Fan Xian was about to ask him what he remembered, Wu Zhu opened his palm and saw three shining golden bullets inside, which was enough. Ten centimeters long.
"Is this...Barrett's bullet? Uncle Wu Zhu, are you looking for the bullet?"
Last time I exchanged my domineering energy for the suitcase key, and I found it after I opened it. The letter Ye Qingmei left for the two of them and Barrett, who had sniped King Chu and King Xin, were maddening that there were only guns and no bullets in them. Wu Zhu's answer at that time was that he had forgotten where the bullets were hidden.
Unexpectedly, the battle in Cangzhou unlocked Wu Zhu’s memory about bullets.
"The bullet was hidden by the lady in Cangshan Mountain."
"Cangshan Mountain..."
"I also met the temple messenger there."
Hearing "Temple Fan Xian was shocked at the word "messenger": "It was the temple messenger who lured your mother away when something happened?"
Wuzhu nodded: "That's right."
"Uncle, are you injured?"
"No."
"What about the temple messenger?"
"He ran away when he saw that he couldn't defeat me."
Hearing this, Fan Xian breathed a long sigh of relief and looked at the Barrett bullet in his hand. His mind went around and around. Unexpectedly, the situation became increasingly chaotic, and even the temple messengers came out.
Wu Zhu walked to his side: "What should Chu Pingsheng do? Do you want to kill him?"
"If he insists on marrying Wan'er..."
Fan Xian tightened his hand Barrett Bullet in.
He will never allow Chu Pingsheng to ruin his chicken-legged girl.
Wuzhu said: "Well, I will help you hold Bai Feng back 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 with him. It should be fine." Solve this problem."
"..."
Fan Xian pondered for a long time: "Uncle Wu Zhu, what do you think of us joining forces with Li Yunqian on this matter?"
Wuzhu lowered his head, thought for a moment, and nodded gently.
"Okay."
Fan Xian thinks this is the most correct choice. After all, Li Yunqian is there. Whether and how to avenge his mother's murder can be considered and planned slowly. As for Lin Waner, , Chu Pingsheng has given an ultimatum. With Li Yunqian's character, he can betray the woman he loves, let alone his niece.
As for Fan Ruoruo, it was also impossible for him to watch her become a concubine for that lecherous bastard.
Lin Waner and Fan Ruoruo.
Since Chu Pingsheng must steal the woman from him, he has no choice but to send Chu Pingsheng to see the King of Hell.
...
The next day, nothing changed.
It seems that nothing has changed, but the court officials who attended the celebration banquet all knew that the situation had changed, because Li Yunqian was directly absent from the morning court, and did not change the earlier engagement. Not only that, the eldest prince was betrayed by Chu There is no further information about the killings in his life. It seems that he is planning to leave the body for a while before burying it.
If you want to ask why this is done, it is very simple. The time limit given by Chu Pingsheng is seven days to get married. If the funeral of the eldest prince is held first, it will be too close to the princess's wedding day, which will be more difficult to handle.
It can be seen from these two points that Li Yunqian compromised.
To be honest, this is embarrassing and ugly, but so what? Bai Feng, one man and two swords, killed Ku He and Si Gu Jian in Shangjing City, killing one and injuring one. Uesugi Tiger and Sean made the Zhan family a puppet without spending a single soldier. If Bai Feng's master and apprentice replicated the operation in Northern Qi, What can the Li family do to stop it? The prince was Chu Pingsheng's apprentice. Li Yunrui broke up with his brother because of this son-in-law. Master and apprentice Bai Feng killed Li Yunqian in the morning and allowed Li Chengqian to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the afternoon.
It was just because Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian stood behind Emperor Qing and did not cut through the mess quickly. In fact, Chu Pingsheng had been forcing Emperor Qing to turn against him, trying to find out the true and false status of Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian so that he could strike back.
Lin Ruofu, Qin Ye, Fei Jie, Yan Ruohai... This group of people had a feud with Chu Ping, so they naturally sided with Li Yunqian, even if the emperor was a cold-blooded bastard. Those low-level officials, such as Hu Jinzhu and Xin Qiwu, behaved very ambiguously under the prince's sect.
In short, the atmosphere in the entire Kyoto city is extremely strange. On the surface, various institutions are operating stably, and the subordinate officials of the yamen are performing their duties. However, high-ranking officials who have heard the news are sending their families to the city through various channels. The lower-class civilians who move out of town and work hard every day to sell their strength, skills, and laughter may not know the meaning of Bai Feng's sending of bells. How could they not know.
On the third day, a message spread among the circles of dignitaries. Li Yunqian was sent to Jinzhou. For unknown reasons, Ye Chong, who had not been transferred back to Kyoto for some unknown reason, was killed in an attack during a patrol and his head was cut off. , and more than a hundred soldiers accompanying him were killed together, and not even a single enemy corpse was found afterwards.
You must know that Ye Chong is a great master in the ninth rank. According to normal logic, it must be the result of Baifeng's master and apprentice to cause such losses to the Qing army. However, according to the report of the people in the Supervisory Council who ambushed the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion, from the celebration banquet After that, Chu Pingsheng stayed in the house and had various leisure and entertainment activities with the three women without going out.
Although Haitang Duoduo showed her powerful disguise skills at the celebration banquet, Kyoto is far away from Jinzhou. Even if she rides a fast horse and travels day and night, it will take more than two days to arrive. Is the time right? superior.
But what is certain is that Ye Chong's death was a direct result of Ye Liuyun's move against Chu Ping - ordinary people did not see that battle, but the people in the Supervisory Yuan knew about it, which made many officials realize After realizing the reality, Chu Pingsheng was not joking at the eldest prince's celebration banquet. Being his father-in-law was indeed the most dangerous profession in the world. He would kill whenever he wanted, without any ambiguity.
The discussion about Chu Pingsheng angrily beheading his father-in-law has not dissipated. On the fourth day, another piece of news exploded. To be precise, the Ministry of War kept it secret for several days, but it still couldn't be concealed - the Northern Qi Army The momentum was overwhelming, and under the leadership of Uesugi Tiger, they conquered several cities in three days, which was only half a month. Not only did they regain one and a half of the territory they had lost earlier, but they also advanced the front line to a hundred miles within the Qingguo territory.
Due to the disappearance of Yan Xiaoyi and the deaths of the eldest prince Li Chengru, Wang Zhikun, Cao Jinghua, Wu Feng and others, the Nanqing army was basically in a state of collapse when facing the morale-boosted Northern Qi army. As soon as the opposite side beats the drum and shouts to kill, the legs of the Qing army soldiers will become weak.
At this time, the officials attending the banquet discovered that what Chu Pingsheng said was true. Bai Feng was sitting in Kyoto to suppress Uesugi Tiger. Whenever a great master appears on the battlefield, Li Yunqian's life hangs in the balance.
The master and the apprentice were not joking at all, let alone scaremongering. They were really destroying the Qing Kingdom step by step.
……
The fifth day.
The moon is like a hook, shining brightly.
In the Funing Palace, the queen was wearing a large crown robe and sitting on a low couch covered with quilts. There was a silver-gilt wine bottle on the wooden tray in front of her, and a wooden spoon for pouring wine was placed on the edge. Turquoise wine glass. The drinking utensils obviously didn't come from the same set, but it didn't matter, because what she drank was a happy drink, no more than the previous drinking to drown her sorrows.
Today, her biggest wish and the most pleasurable thing is to see Li Yunqian deflated, not to mention that what made Li Yunqian deflated was the little man who made her rejuvenate.
Wow...
She rolled up her sleeves and reached out, picked up the wooden spoon, scooped some wine into the wine glass, put it to her lips, and drank it all.
All in all, she hasn't had a drink for almost a month.
Quite greedy.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, shaking the flame on the candlestick and throwing a swaying light and shadow on the ground.
The queen looked at the open window facing the north, thinking that the person she longed for had arrived, but it didn't happen.
She was a little disappointed, but she also understood that the city of Kyoto was in trouble right now, so it was normal not to care about her.
"I see you're in a good mood, you've already drunk."
A teasing voice sounded from behind. Just as she was about to turn her head, a pair of hands passed through her arms from behind, hugged her, and then squirted. The hot and moist breath behind the ear: "Have you opened this window for several days?"
The queen let out a long sleepy sigh: "Well..."
"Miss me. ”
“Do you want to scare me to death? You always appear in front of me like a ghost.”
"Dead ghost, dead ghost, of course you have to be like a ghost."
"You are not a dead ghost, you are a hungry ghost, a hungry ghost in sex."
"That's just right, I'll eat you tonight Wipe it clean so that you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow.”
Chu Pingsheng pursed his lips at the wine glass in her hand.
The queen cooperatively handed over the cup and watched him drink up the wine inside.
"Li Yunqian has been patient all his life, he will not give up just like that."
"Sigu Jian has entered the palace."
"How did you know?"
"I hid it from them. , it’s a piece of cake, 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 the three great masters could not kill him, she was still a little worried.
“Are you sure you can deal with three of them?”
“There is one more.”
“There is more?”
“What has Li Yunqian done recently? Any unusual behavior?”
"Gan'er said that he has been going to Qing Temple more often recently."
"He went to see the envoy from the temple, the mysterious man who lured Wu Zhu away when your family attacked Taiping Villa. ."
"How about the Temple Messenger compared to the Grand Master?"
"It's 90% stronger."
"Doesn't that mean you have to deal with four. A great master?"
Chu Pingsheng held her in his arms like a princess, and while untying her robe, he said: "The ancients said that a moment of spring is worth a thousand pieces of gold, can we not talk about these disappointing things?"
"It's all...it's up to you..."
The queen watched him untie his belt gently and went to take off his clothes, but the next breath, as if something suddenly occurred to him, her face changed. Right.
"Earlier, Gan'er went to the Imperial Study Room to beg Li Yunqian to give up his position as crown prince. When he was kneeling under the eaves, he saw Yigui's concubine coming in and out. Do you think... could she be..."
Concubine Yigui is the mother of the third prince; she is also the cousin of Liu Ruyu, Fan Jian’s concubine. The editor of Baowen Hall who Chu Pingsheng killed during the Four Kingdoms Night Banquet was the grandson of Liu Guogong. She was worried that Liu Ruyu was behind the scenes. Small actions that benefit Chu Pingsheng are normal.
"It's just that Fan Xian and Li Yunqian teamed up, and she acted as the middleman." Chu Pingsheng shook his head: "It seems that Li Chengru's death has not had the effect of killing chickens and warning monkeys."
"Then don't you still want to Being targeted by Wuzhu?"
"That's right."
The queen's hand held his wrist a lot harder: "Five against one, you have no chance of winning, so why not... stay away for now? "Edge."
"I have my own plans, just like coming to you today."
Chu Pingsheng pressed her on the couch: "I'm very happy that you worry about me, but from now on, squeeze those messy thoughts out of your mind."
"But...you... "
Chu Pingsheng said: "If you can't squeeze out by yourself, then you have no choice but... I'm here to help you. "
