Chapter 78 The Playful House Ends Here
Yan Xiaoyi was secretly recalled.
They secretly forged gunpowder arrows.
Secretly training Imperial Guards and Arrow Guards.
These things are done discreetly, but they all require money.
Fan Jian was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and trained the Tiger Guards; how could these things be kept from him?
Furthermore, how could he not have paid attention to Fan Xian's offering of the map to save Fan Sizhe's life?
Emperor Qing was both arrogant and insecure.
He won't make a move unless he has a very high chance of winning.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Chen Pingping had already ordered Lang Tao and Yun Zhilan to lead his Black Riders to keep a close watch on this Imperial Guard.
"Isn't Your Majesty curious why Commander Yan hasn't fired a single arrow yet?" Chen Pingping asked Emperor Qing sarcastically. "They can't come."
Your Majesty, who thinks you can control everything, I wonder how you feel about being schemed against by a servant you treat like an old dog.
Si Gu Jian and Ku He also realized what was going on. When Chen Pingping contacted them earlier, he asked them to bring Yun Zhilan, Lang Tao, and the others along. So that was why.
"Chen Pingping!" Emperor Qing gritted his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury.
boom!
The second shot rang out soon after.
At that moment, all the masters subconsciously strode out from their original positions.
Surprisingly, no one was injured.
Even Chen Pingping looked at him with surprise.
This shot was likely aimed at the temple messenger, who, lacking a detection system, had no chance of dodging it.
But at this moment, another figure stood before the temple messenger.
He took the bullet, but somehow managed to deflect it to the side with minimal effort.
This left not only Chen Pingping bewildered, but also Emperor Qing and the others, and even Wu Zhu was somewhat puzzled.
Xiao Yan: "Didn't you say reporters don't go to the battlefield?"
Russell shook his slightly sore and numb hands and typed irritably, "Bullshit, this is a unique piece. The core is damaged. I'll sell you to the model worker."
Seriously, Chen Pingping didn't even tell him about this plan beforehand; he almost got bombed.
Han Li: "Uh..."
He finally understood: Russell had no goods on hand and was simply selling what he was asked for!
"Russell!"
Its opening sounded like the chirping of a cicada.
On Cangshan Mountain, Chen Pingping's hair stood on end.
He prided himself on his perfect strategy, but he never expected Russell to come out at this time.
If Russell had chosen to turn against us, everyone here today would be inseparable from Cangshan.
You yell so loudly, what the hell!
Seeing Chen Pingping's completely agitated state, Russell didn't know what else to say. He could only mutter a curse in his heart before reassuring her, "Calm down."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Russell walked up to the temple messenger, raised his right hand, spread his fingers, swung his arm, and delivered a resounding slap to the face.
One slap was enough to knock him out; his limbs sprawled out, he lay motionless on the ground.
This was what Wu Zhu had told him before: they were regenerating metal, and as long as they had enough energy and their core in the chest area was not damaged, they could regenerate on their own.
Si Gu Jian was unaware of the situation, but Chen Pingping had clearly learned about the weaknesses of the temple messengers from Wu Zhu.
This shot, while not completely destroying the core, will still require him to spend many years repairing it himself.
"Are you also a member of the temple?" Ye Liuyun stood in front of Emperor Qing, his heart filled with shock and disbelief.
The temple messenger was subdued in one move, and even the firearms capable of sniping grandmasters could not directly cause him effective damage.
What a terrifying state this is.
He couldn't think of any other possible origin for such a creature besides a temple.
But why is it that Ye Qingmei, who is also a member of the temple, has no martial arts skills?
If Ye Qingmei had been this good at fighting back then, the world would have achieved socialism long ago.
"Guess." Russell didn't answer, but kicked the temple messenger in the stomach, sending him flying towards Fan Xian. Then he turned to face Emperor Qing with a bright smile on his face.
Emperor Qing subconsciously sensed something was wrong and instinctively wanted to retreat. Ye Liuyun also took two steps forward to meet him, but unfortunately, it was to no avail.
To everyone else, Russell's figure seemed to only blur slightly, and Emperor Qing was held in his hand like a little chick.
A powerful burst of true energy erupted from Emperor Qing's body, and was then completely absorbed by Russell.
The true qi of the kingly way that Emperor Qing had been cultivating in his body for decades was a real tonic for Russell, directly saving him the step of refining radiation energy. He was like Wu Yazi in the Joy of Life version.
In the blink of an eye, this ruler who had endured a lifetime of scheming and plotting was reduced to nothing but a withered and decaying body.
That wasn't all. Russell then turned his gaze to Li Chengqian and Li Chengze, who had been brought by Emperor Qing and were watching the battle from the sidelines.
Sword intent appeared out of thin air with their gazes, the expressions on their faces froze, a clear line of blood was visible on their necks, and their bodies fell straight to the side.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
There's been a lot of information today.
First, their own leader's identity was exposed, then the four grandmasters became seven, and finally, this seventh grandmaster, who appeared out of nowhere, stunned the temple messenger with thunderous force and killed Emperor Qing and two princes.
Many people are wondering if they are dreaming.
"Dean Chen, please." Russell beckoned to Chen Pingping, who snapped out of her daze and looked at the shadow beside her.
Shadow understood, took out a specially made signal flare from his pocket, and pulled it hard.
A blinding red light rose into the gloomy sky and exploded with a deafening roar.
The ground immediately began to shake, the sound coming closer and closer, like rumbling thunder.
From the hidden mountain paths and forests of Cangshan, troop after troop of cavalrymen, their entire bodies covered in heavy black armor and even their warhorses clad in black horse armor, surged forth like a tide.
It is the Black Riders; the four thousand Black Riders recorded in the Overwatch Council do not exist.
They exuded a menacing aura, clearly having just experienced a fierce battle.
Chen Pingping pushed his wheelchair slowly to the center of the arena, his gaze calmly sweeping over the silent officials and the three grandmasters, Ye Liuyun, Si Gu Jian, and Ku He, whose expressions were complex. He said indifferently:
"His Majesty was on a hunting expedition in Cangshan when he led his Tiger Guards to attack Si Gu Jian and Ku He. However, they were no match for them, and the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were seriously injured. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince also perished while seeking revenge for their father. On his deathbed, His Majesty left a will, ordering Fan Xian to ascend to the position of Crown Prince and inherit the throne of the Qing Kingdom. Lord Ye is also a witness to this matter. Lord Ye, what do you think?"
Ye Liuyun's lips twitched slightly. Given the current situation, what else could he say in order to protect the Qing Kingdom and the Ye family? "As Dean Chen said, His Majesty did indeed leave a will."
Chen Pingping smiled and nodded, then turned to the other officials and asked again, "What do you all intend to do now?"
There was no resistance, nor any rebuttal.
What happened next proceeded naturally.
With the internal problems of the Qing Kingdom resolved, Si Gu Jian and Ku He knew that their next task was to deal with their own affairs.
Si Gu Jian spoke first, "What are your preparations for the two of us?"
To be honest, if it weren't for Russell, they could have stayed or left as they pleased, but Russell was just too intimidating.
The gap between them and Russell is like the gap between a ninth-rank official and them.
Chen Pingping said, "Both of you are grandmasters, and you were both invited by me, so you are free to stay or leave as you see fit."
Ku He and Si Gu Jian exchanged a glance. Seeing that Russell had no objections, they got up and prepared to leave.
"etc."
Just as they were about to leave, Russell suddenly spoke up. They all froze and turned around to see Russell grinning at Ku He and Ye Liuyun, pointing at Wu Zhu and saying, "I'll trouble the three of you to have a fight."
Ye Liuyun & Ku He: "?"
