Chapter 128 [Surprise]

Outside Kyoto.

In a small farmyard, the house is surrounded by a fence.

The base of the fence is covered with wild flowers and weeds, giving it a decorative aesthetic.

Outside the yard, there was a dead, crooked tree with a swing hanging on it.

A child, holding a wooden sword in his hand, was sitting on a swing, swinging back and forth, constantly making stabbing movements, with a smile on his face.

For a child’s childhood, traveling around the world with a sword is always the highest dream.

This is Teng Zijing’s home.

That child was his son.

At this moment, Teng Zijing was standing respectfully behind a wheelchair.

Dare not take a breath.

Although Teng Zijing was also a member of the Inspection Institute, he had only met Chen Pingping a few times in total.

Moreover, this has never happened before at such a close distance.

The Dark Lord's aura was so oppressive that he felt a little breathless.

Teng Zijing never thought that Chen Pingping would come to his residence during her return to Beijing.

However, this was certainly not a feeling of being flattered, but rather an extreme shock.

After all, there are only a handful of people in the entire Qing Kingdom who can attract the personal attention of Chen Pingping, the Dark King.

Teng Zijing didn't understand what was special about him.

Chen Pingping looked at the wild flowers and weeds at the foot of the fence with a vague expression.

He thought again of the wild flowers and weeds in his yard.

I'm really worried about them...

"What do you think about what's happening in Jiangnan?" Chen Pingping suddenly asked.

Teng Zijing thought about it and said with gritted teeth:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has an unparalleled conspiracy and a plan that is impeccable. He has escaped a disaster."

Hearing this, Chen Pingping laughed, "He is indeed a master of strategy. This time, I was actually fooled by him."

When the news about what happened in Jiangnan came, Chen Pingping, the King of Darkness, was also shocked.

It was because I understood Li Chengqian's plan and saw through his plot that I found it even more incredible.

This is a game!

The game started very early.

However, he didn't see through it.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be the prince's man, right?"

Chen Pingping's words made Teng Zijing feel cold in his heart.

Feeling enveloped by the breath of death.

Not far behind him, a dark shadow appeared silently.

That's the number one killer, Shadow!

"Dean, I'm from the Inspection Institute." Teng Zijing said.

Chen Pingping turned the wheelchair and turned to look at him.

He then picked a wild flower by the fence.

"How old is your son this year?" Chen Pingping asked.

Teng Zijing's face turned pale and he knelt down immediately.

"Dean, I really don't know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm from the Inspection Institute."

Teng Zijing's forehead, neck, and palms were covered with sweat.

Chen Pingping was indeed right. As early as five years ago, he had already been the prince's man.

He was ordered to be stationed in the Inspection Institute.

He didn't know how Chen Pingping found him.

However, at this moment, he could not admit it even if he died.

"Very good!" Chen Pingping nodded and stopped asking questions.

He pushed the wheelchair and slowly walked out of the yard.

Shadow followed and pushed his wheelchair.

In the yard, Teng Zijing sat on the ground instantly.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

A woman ran out of the house and helped him up.

"He is so scary, just as scary as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Teng Zijing said with lingering fear.

The woman said nothing, but just wiped the sweat from her husband's forehead.

"What do you think of Li Chengqian?" Chen Pingping asked, stroking the black jade in his hand while sitting in the wheelchair. In his other hand, he still held the wild flower.

"He is very scheming, just like the current emperor!" Shadow said in a hoarse voice.

After saying that, Shadow was silent for a moment and asked:

"Is Teng Zijing really the prince's man?"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "I guessed."

Hearing this, the shadow who was very familiar to him responded:

"That should be it."

Because, in his impression, Chen Pingping's suspicions were never wrong.

If something can make him suspicious, nine out of ten times there is really something wrong.

"No arrest?"

Shadow grabbed the wheelchair with both hands and floated into the air, avoiding the uneven ground ahead.

"No need." Chen Pingping waved his sleeves.

"Let's go, it's time to go back to Beijing. My flowers should still be alive..."

"What was the agreement between you and the prince five years ago?"

Shadow has always been curious about this question.

"You will know." A hint of cunning flashed across Chen Pingping's lips, but it disappeared in a flash.

Royal Villa.

When Ye Ling'er heard the news from Jiangnan, she came here as soon as possible.

Tell it to Lin Wan'er.

"The Holy Maiden of Northern Qi?" Lin Wan'er was stunned.

"I heard before that he likes the Saint Girl of Northern Qi, but I didn't expect that he actually captured her this time?"

Lin Wan'er found it somewhat unbelievable.

"That's the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, the youngest ninth-grade powerhouse in the world!" Ye Ling'er emphasized.

She was also a martial artist, so she naturally knew what the ninth rank meant.

However, even such an outstanding and powerful Holy Maiden of Northern Qi still fell into the hands of Crown Prince Li Chengqian.

Now, I am on my way back to Beijing.

"He is so powerful that he even captured the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi!" Lin Wan'er's eyes were full of amazement.

"There's something you may not know yet." Ye Ling'er was mysterious and deliberately beat around the bush.

"what's up?"

"This time in Jiangnan, when the warship docked, the Northern Qi Grandmaster, Ku He, actually came to assassinate him personally!"

Ye Ling'er's few simple words revealed the entire crisis.

If the Grand Master takes action, there will be a risk of death.

"Then what?" A look of worry appeared on Lin Wan'er's face.

"You probably would never have thought that the final outcome would be that Ku He would escape with serious injuries!"

When saying this, little stars twinkled in Ye Ling'er's eyes.

That's admiration.

“My father said that Ku He and Hai Tang Duo Duo both fell into the trap set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But I can’t see what this is.”

Ye Ling'er said with a smile.

She was devoted to martial arts training and was not good at conspiracy.

However, Lin Wan'er is different.

She has a clear mind and sees things clearly.

After Ye Ling'er said this, she immediately understood the key.

Although I can't figure out many of the details, I can guess the general situation.

"Awesome!" Lin Wan'er, who has always been quiet, couldn't help but reveal an expression of amazement at this moment.

After that, she was silent for a moment, "Does he...really like the Saint of Northern Qi?"

Ye Ling'er was also stunned and thought for a moment, "It seems they have never met before?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head. "I don't know. However, as far as I know, the prince rarely leaves the palace, and has never been to Northern Qi. He probably hasn't seen him."

"That's strange..." Ye Ling'er muttered.

"Could it be that this saintly lady of Northern Qi is as beautiful as a fairy?" She suddenly remembered that there was a saying among the people that the prince liked to collect beautiful women.

"When she comes to Kyoto, you'll naturally see her," Lin Wan'er said.

"That's right. I will definitely go and take a look when the time comes." Ye Ling'er said with a smile.

Speaking of this youngest ninth-rank official in the world, she was still very interested.
