Chapter 27 [Bet]

Inspection Institute.

In a yard.

Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair, holding a water scoop in his hand, frowning slightly.

This dark king has killed countless people, captured people's hearts, and can stop babies from crying.

Even when he learned that his legs were broken and he could never stand up again, he did not frown.

In his world, this action seemed to have never existed.

But at this moment, the dreaded Dark King frowned.

Because, those corners of the wall had been carelessly scattered with wild flower seeds, and the wild flowers that grew there were about to die.

One or two of the plants began to turn yellow, as if they were sick.

The first assassin, Shadow, stood in the shadows, unable to do anything about it and could only remain silent.

Having followed Chen Pingping for many years, Yingzi naturally knew how important these wild flowers and weeds were to Chen Pingping.

Although I have been away from home for many years, I always miss these flowers in my heart.

It seems that these inconspicuous flowers and plants are his last concern.

He never trusted others to take care of things, and every time he came back, he would do it himself to feel at ease.

"I just got the news that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are going hunting at the Royal Villa today."

The royal villa is a general term, which includes royal gardens and other places. It is a place for the royal family to relax and entertain, rather than a simple courtyard.

"Who made the appointment?" Chen Pingping was silent for a long time, put down the water scoop, stroked the black jade in his hand, and asked.

"The Second Prince." Shadow said.

"It seems that he can't sit still." In just a moment, Chen Pingping almost concluded that this was a Hongmen Banquet.

"The prince doesn't have any experts under his command. If he goes there, I'm afraid something bad will happen." Shadow analyzed.

He has always been a man of few words, except when he is with Chen Pingping.

The two were both teachers and friends and had been together for many years.

Chen Pingping stroked the black jade in his hand, was silent for a moment, and said:
"How about we play another round together?"

shadow:"……"

He said without hesitation: "I quit!"

The saying "you will lose every time you gamble" refers to shadows.

Over the years, he had gambled with Chen Pingping many times about the matter of the crown prince.

However, there was no victory.

The shadow lives in darkness and walks in the shadow, but has a habit.

Love the collection!

Therefore, he had a lot of good things on his hands.

Every bet is a treasure.

Over the years, he has almost lost all his wealth.

So, he quit gambling now.

"If you win, I will return all the things I have before, and let you pick any item from my collection. How about that?"

Chen Pingping suddenly smiled and said seductively.

I have to say, the old fox really understands people's hearts.

After hearing this, Shadow had to admit that he was really moved.

So, it doesn’t matter whether to quit or not, it’s just that the stakes are not attractive enough.

"What if I lose?" To admit defeat before winning is the way of an assassin.

Before the assassination begins, you have to think about how to extricate yourself and escape quickly if it fails.

"As usual, I'll just pick one, how about that?" Chen Pingping smiled.

"Okay!" Shadow hesitated for a moment and agreed, "How do we bet?"

"Let's take the hunting trip in the royal villa as a bet. You speak first," said Chen Pingping.

Under the black robe, the shadow pondered for a moment.

“The prince does not have a ninth-rank expert under his command, only an old eunuch whose realm is unknown.

According to what you said, the Second Prince is fighting a desperate battle this time, and he will fight to the death.

In this case, Xie Bian will definitely take action personally.

In the royal villa, the second prince must have other means.

In addition, although there are only seven of his eight generals now, six are of the eighth rank and one is of the ninth rank.

Therefore, I bet that the prince will suffer a loss and a serious blow is inevitable.

There is even a possibility that your life may be in danger.”

After that, Shadow paused, then changed the subject and said:

“But every time I follow common sense, I lose.

So this time, I bet the result will be exactly the opposite. I bet the crown prince has countless hidden cards and can kill the second prince. "

Chen Pingping couldn't do anything with Shadow.

Is this what the legendary "doing things against the rules" mean?

"Are you done?" Chen Pingping asked.

"Yes, that's all."

After a moment of silence, Chen Pingping sighed:

"Well, then I bet that the prince has no trump card, but suffered a great loss, or even suffered serious injuries."

Shadow put his hands in his pockets and said, "You are doomed to fail this time. The prince is definitely not as simple as he seems."

Don't ask him how he knew.

The question is, he lost too many times and lost all his collections.

The conclusion drawn from this.

"Okay, then let's wait and see." Chen Pingping said calmly.

"it is good!"

In the yard, Shadow looked at the withered wild flowers in the corner and suddenly asked in a low voice:

“Five years ago, the prince found one of our spies lurking around him.

However, he did not kill him, but asked him to bring you a letter.

What was in the letter?

Shadow has been thinking about this question for five years.

Now, he finally couldn't help but speak.

Chen Pingping waved his sleeves, continued to stroke the black jade in his hand, and said:
"It's nothing, just a deal."

"Trade? But you never contacted him in these five years."

Chen Pingping shook his head slightly. "Sometimes, some things don't need to be face to face. A tacit understanding is enough."

Shadow was silent, "Do you believe him?"

Chen Pingping shook his head, "I don't believe it."

As he spoke, he pushed the wheelchair and slowly walked out of the yard.

Behind him, Shadow whispered, "I'm sure to win this time!"

The wheelchair suddenly stopped, "Pack up and get ready for a long journey."

Shadow stepped forward, "Leaving the capital?"

"Correct."

"it is good."

This time, Shadow didn't ask anything. He turned around and disappeared into the shadows.

Chen Pingping stroked the black jade in his hand, "It's time..."

He needed to leave Beijing to give Fan Jian a chance.

An opportunity to bring Fan Xian to Kyoto.

The plan is about to begin!

However, Emperor Qing has his own plans, and he also has his own plans.

Emperor Qing's goal is to seize the temple, obtain the equipment inside, and dominate the world.

And he had only one goal, which was to find out the truth about Ye Qingmei's death.

At the end of the letter Li Chengqian gave him, he said:

If you enter the game with your own body, you will win half the battle!
Thinking about it now, he still feels that this sentence is quite meaningful.

It is for this reason that he chose to make a deal with Li Chengqian.

Moreover, this transaction has been carried out silently.

The cooperation transaction between the two has been going on for five years, but it has always been silent.

In fact, from beginning to end, Li Chengqian and he had never met in private.

Since that secret letter, there has been no contact between the two.

Like two parallel lines that never intersect.

The princes were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Inspection Office, and the Inspection Office never participated in party struggles and was only loyal to the king.

This is Emperor Qing’s rule.

That’s also the bottom line.

Chen Pingping suddenly became curious. That year, Li Chengqian passed by Danzhou and met Fan Xian.

What impact will this incident have on future plans?

It is said that the two had some unpleasantness at that time.

As for whether it is true or not, no one knows the details.
