Chapter 44 [Must Die]

Outside Kyoto.

Yanzhou.

Sitting on the wheelchair, Chen Pingping had an inexplicably quiet expression as he stroked the black jade in his hand.

At this moment, with this expression, the Dark King is the most unpredictable.

Although he still has black hair, it is not much.

Looking closely, most of the hair on top of the head is white.

White hair, black clothes, black wheelchair, black jade in hand, black pupils, flashing black light...

The shadow was dressed in black, shrouding the entire person in darkness. He stood behind him with a hoarse voice, making it difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

"News came from Kyoto that the prince was plotting a rebellion and the entire city is under martial law."

Chen Pingping didn't say anything, but continued to stroke the black jade in his hand, falling into deep thought.

"The Tianya Society in the southwest Gobi Desert had agreed to accept the imperial court's offer of amnesty, but suddenly turned against the court, killed the imperial envoy, and declared independence, naming their country Qian."

Shadow said, pausing for a moment, "Now, the Crown Prince has no way to explain himself. The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is finished."

In this situation, he couldn't imagine any chance of the prince surviving.

Emperor Qing was suspicious by nature, and he remembered that this is what Chen Pingping said.

Now, the Tianya Society in the southwest Gobi Desert has risen up in rebellion under the banner of the Crown Prince and declared itself an independent country.

This is the bottom line for every king.

In short, Shadow couldn't figure out how the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace could stand any chance.

This time, death is certain!
At this moment, Chen Pingping suddenly sighed.

"Shadow, how about we have another bet?

I bet the prince is finished."

shadow:"……"

Under the black robe, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he said:

"I'm also betting that the prince is finished."

Chen Pingping: "..."

This time, even Chen Pingping did not have a favorable view of the prince at all.

Because even he, the head of the Inspection Institute, could not see any hope of survival.

Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, it’s really over this time.

"The Second Prince played a great game this time!" Chen Pingping exclaimed.

"Second Prince, what does the Crown Prince's rebellion have to do with him?" Shadow asked in confusion.

The air in Yanzhou is relatively cool.

It is not autumn yet, but it is quite comfortable and not too hot.

Chen Pingping held the black jade in his hand, raised his head slightly, and looked at the sky. The sky was clear blue, and the white clouds were all in unique shapes.

"No matter how stupid the prince is, he would never start a rebellion at this time." Chen Pingping's voice was quite firm.

"You mean, the establishment of a country in the southwestern Gobi Desert this time is related to the fight for the throne?" Shadow was a little unconvinced.

"The Second Prince has such powerful means?"

Chen Pingping smiled, "Now, the Second Prince is very eager to kill the Crown Prince.

He can do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

However, he was able to come up with such a method of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

There are capable people around the Second Prince! "

At this point, even Chen Pingping couldn't help but praise it.

This must-kill situation was perfect.

Impeccable!

Even he had to admire it.

This kind of layout has not been seen for many years.

Almost no solution!

"So what should we do next, heading back to Kyoto?" Shadow asked.

After all, the prince's rebellion was such a major event that as the director of the Inspection Institute, Chen Pingping had to return to Beijing.

This was exactly what Chen Pingping was thinking about just now.

At this moment, he already had the answer in his heart.

"No need." Chen Pingping said.

Since Emperor Qing has not issued an order, all plans will proceed as usual without any delay.

The temple project has been planned for many years, so Emperor Qing will naturally not give up easily.

Therefore, if there is no imperial edict, he does not need to return to Beijing.

"What a pity..." Shadow suddenly sighed.

"What's so regrettable?" Chen Pingping rarely saw Yingzi acting like this, and he rarely expressed his opinions on the affairs of the world.

Now, he actually expressed regret over the prince's matter. It was really rare to see him.

"The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is extremely prestigious and popular among the people. In recent years, everything he has done has benefited the people.

Such a prince is indeed rare.

This time, he died in a must-kill situation. What a pity."

Shadow's voice was hoarse, but he seemed to admire and approve of the current prince.

Chen Pingping shook his sleeves, touched his broken leg, and said in an inexplicable tone.

“Such are the times, such are the fates.

But he didn't expect that he would eventually fall into the hands of the Second Prince."

After saying this, Chen Pingping raised his eyes slightly.

From now on, he needs to re-examine the second prince.

This person is very scheming and has unparalleled strategies, and he also has experts by his side to help him.

The most important thing is that the second prince is crazy enough, cruel and ruthless, and will do anything to achieve his goal.

This kind of person wouldn't even bat an eyelid even if a town was destroyed and everyone was killed.

"Didn't you have a deal with the prince?
At this time, why don't you help him?"

Shadow suddenly asked.

Chen Pingping smiled indifferently, but with a strange smile.

“A transaction is a transaction, but in the current situation, even I can’t save him.

All escape routes are cut off.

This time, even the gods can’t save us!”

Chen Pingping was also quite helpless.

If possible, he doesn't mind helping.

But how could he help in the rebellion?
We can't rebel together, can we?

"If he can't survive this situation and defeat the Second Prince, the deal... will end."

When Chen Pingping said this, there was a hint of loss in his tone.

"Is there any chance he can make it?" Shadow's eyes lit up under the black robe.

"No way." Chen Pingping replied.

Shadow stopped talking.

He knew that since Chen Pingping said so, there was really no hope at all.

As far as he could remember, Chen Pingping had never made a mistake in what he said.

Or maybe he never says anything or does anything without being 100% sure.

Since he said so, it seems that the prince is really doomed this time.

Treason is a capital crime.

Therefore, there will probably be no more such a prince in this world from now on.

"Once the Crown Prince dies, the position of Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace will belong to the Second Prince."

Chen Pingping stroked the black jade in his hand, glanced at Shadow, and continued:
"You don't seem to wish that."

Shadow was silent for a moment, then said, “I have seen the Second Prince having fun with the people.

He went out to eat, and the whole alley was empty, leaving only him enjoying himself.

Because of him, everyone has to rest for a day."

Chen Pingping stopped what he was doing and looked at the shadow in surprise for a long time before saying:

"Shadow, you've changed."

Hearing this, the man in black robe was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

Danzhou.

Fan Xian sat at the door of the grocery store, listening to passers-by's discussion, and was completely confused.

"The prince started a war in the southwest Gobi Desert and founded a country?"

Others are numb.

"We're done for now!" Raising an army to rebel is a capital crime.

"It's hopeless..." Fan Xian whispered while holding the shredded carrots.

He also thought that after arriving in Beijing, he would go and visit him, maybe he could curry favor with him.

Who would have thought that such bad news would come before we even set off?

"The prince is finished..."

Fan Xian shook his head, feeling a little regretful.

When they met by chance that year, he had a good impression of the prince.

Moreover, in recent years, the world's evaluation of the prince has been quite high.

He cared about the people and did many things to benefit them.

Now, he is facing a situation where he is doomed to die.

What a pity!
Fan Xian couldn't help but sigh again.
