Chapter 298 Outside Kyoto.

"I understand."

Yan Bingyun calmed down his fluctuating emotions. Although he had many doubts in his heart, he still asked curiously, "But I don't know the former Lord Tisi. As far as I know, there seems to be only one Tisi waist badge? How can I recognize the other party's identity then?"

"You only need to see the other person to know their identity." Chen Pingping chuckled, "It's a magical feeling."

"Your Majesty, do you know of this person's existence? I mean, the fact that he is still alive."

Perhaps realizing that the question he asked in a hurry was very stupid, Yan Bingyun lowered his head and said in a deep voice again: "I understand!"

The tone of the two responses was different.

"The Overwatch Council is a sword. Your Majesty, how could you not know why the sword is sharp?"

"It's just that His Majesty has issued a strict order on this point. Outsiders are not allowed to know the identity of the previous commissioner. It is precisely because of the existence of that adult that no matter how the situation in Kyoto changes, our dark place will always be able to continue."

I don’t know who the other party is, and how he has such ability.

At the same time, Yan Bingyun also began to think deeply, thinking carefully about the responsibilities of this position.

I will become the third director of the Supervisory Council, but what are my unique advantages compared to that gentleman and Fan Xian? What is it that the dean in front of me values?
“You only have to do one thing.”

Chen Pingping said coldly: "If one day I disappear and Fan Xian goes crazy, what you have to do is not to stop it from happening, but to use all means to preserve this broken yard!"

"Even if it means lingering on and having to endure humiliation, we must protect it!"

Yan Bingyun was horrified when he heard this. He had already heard that Chen Pingping was entrusting his son to someone else.

He didn't dare to think about this question any further, nor did he speak or ask any more questions. He understood that something big might happen in Kyoto in the future.

"You have been in the courtyard for a long time. Do you know what the Overwatch Council is?"

"It's the one in His Majesty's hand." He replied subconsciously, but Yan Bingyun couldn't say any more after this. He heard the hidden meaning of what Dean Chen said before.

"I hope that the laws of Qing are established for the people; not tolerated because of nobility, not deprived because of poverty; no unjustified injustice, no forced crime, obey the law like a sword, break the evil spirits, and do not seek gods. I hope that the people of Qing will have the truth to follow, know etiquette and morality, and keep a benevolent heart; not judge success or failure by money, and not succumb to power. Sympathize with the weak and hate injustice; be strong in mind in times of crisis, and reflect on yourself when no one is around. I hope that there will be no more oppression and bondage in this world, and everyone born in this world will have the right to live, the right to freedom, and the right to happiness. I hope that one day everyone is born equal, without distinction between noble and humble, to protect life and pursue light... Born equal, everyone is like a dragon."

Chen Pingping's laughter was heard, so happy and relieved.

This is a passage that everyone in the Supervisory Council is very familiar with, and it is engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance.

"Go home, and then we'll set off!"

Yan Bingyun bowed his hands and after a long while he let out a sigh and left the mansion.

Riding in a carriage, Yan Bingyun returned to his not-so-big home. In the study, his father Yan Ruohai was playing chess with his wife Shen. Yan Ruohai was focused, but Shen was obviously absent-minded.

Seeing her husband coming home, she put down the chess piece and went to greet him.

"What does the dean want to see you about?" Yan Ruohai asked with concern when he saw his son's sad face.

"I have to go out for a while. Lord Fan is going back to the capital." Then, Yan Bingyun told him everything that happened in Chen Garden today.

"It can be seen that Master Xiao Fan and Dean Chen both think highly of you!" Yan Ruohai's expression did not show much joy, but he kept muttering: "But why is it that you are the Commissioner? No matter what, you are still far from it."

Yan Bingyun's words afterwards plunged the study room into complete silence:

"Your Majesty may want to take action against the Overwatch Council!"

The chess piece in Yan Ruohai's hand fell onto the chessboard, and his expression became gloomy and unclear, changing from time to time.

Shen almost cried out in surprise, and quickly covered her slightly opened mouth with her hand, her surprise was evident in her words. Then, as if she realized that she, as a woman, shouldn't listen to these things, she wanted to leave the room. "No need to do that, I believe you won't say anything nonsense."

Yan Bingyun stopped his wife from leaving.

"How do you know all this?" Yan Ruohai was thoughtful and his years of experience were even better than his son's. He did not panic, but smiled and said, "Do you understand the meaning of the stone tablet that Dean Chen told you?"

"You cannot be a commissioner if you do not understand the meaning of the inscription. But understanding it does not mean you must follow it to the end, because this concept is not accepted today."

Seeing his son nod in agreement, Yan Ruohai continued, "These are what Master Fan's mother said and did back then, and then she died."

"Of course I hope that day you won't understand, because once people understand something, they will agree with it in their hearts, and then one day they will not be able to help but think and act in the same way!"

"Don't think too much. No matter how things turn out, there will always be tall people to hold up the sky if it collapses."

"As long as Dean Chen and the Fifth Master are still here, the situation you are worried about will not happen."

But Dean Chen has already anticipated the day when he will die!

Yan Bingyun did not tell his father these. He just asked in a deep voice: "If father were asked to choose between His Majesty and the Supervisory Council, what would you do?"

Yan Ruohai narrowed his eyes, glanced at his daughter-in-law without leaving a trace, and then said quietly:
“I am a member of the Supervisory Council.”

Yan Bingyun slowly lowered his head and bowed.

"When to set off?"

"It's now."

"Then go ahead!" Yan Ruohai sighed and said, "It's just hard work for you."

······
“This trip is really hard!”

Fan Xian stared at the swaying fire in front of him and sighed.

Thinking back to what happened during the day, Fan Xian just felt tired. Almost instantly, the Second Prince's gentle smiling face emerged in his mind.

Perhaps there was no sound, but the swinging amplitude of the flame told people that someone appeared here.

As the light shone, a dark figure walked out. He shook his head left and right, then walked naturally to Fan Xian's side and slowly sat down.

Fan Xian smiled slightly and handed the water bag in his hand over, but the other party did not take it.

"That guy from the Supervisory Council was here." Wu Zhu was worried that Fan Xian didn't understand, so he added, "That shadow, after I revealed my presence, he left again."

Fan Xian nodded, then sighed and asked, "Uncle Wu Zhu, how confident are you in facing the man in the palace or Li An?"

Wu Zhu tilted his head and said calmly, "I haven't fought seriously, so I don't know."

"Tell me what on earth this person is thinking? There are so many people in this world who want to kill me, why did he choose to kill me when I returned to Beijing?"

He sighed and said, "It's a done deal now. Doing this will only irritate me."

"Which prince is it?" Wu Zhu suddenly asked.

"I'm going to kill him."
