Chapter 66: Find the right target.
The two people in the wheelchair and the chair did not move, and even their expressions did not change. Only the sound of Li Ang drinking tea could be heard.
"You two are the only ones here, and you dare to come to my courtyard and fight? You should let those black guys outside come in as well."
Chen Pingping also shook his head. "Things haven't come to that point yet. If we let them in, the situation will be completely different. Although Mr. Li is a great master, the Qing Kingdom is huge, but there will be no place for him to stay at that time."
"Continue to answer your question." Li An sneered, as if the disabled person in front of him was very interesting. "I am who I am. My name is Li An, and I am a fortune teller. I come from the temple. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Very satisfied, sir, that has answered my three questions." Chen Pingping was very straightforward, and then said: "Sir, you love money, I have heard that, but I have never seen you spend money, so where did the money go? Is it the power behind you?"
Li An remained silent, but his eyes were full of smiles.
"It seems that you don't want to answer this question, don't you care about the lives of all the students in your academy?"
At this time, Li An's expression changed slightly, and he responded: "You can try. I'm afraid it's difficult to do what you said!"
"Sir, you are truly not an ordinary person. It is hard to imagine that you can reach the Grandmaster level at such a young age! I am afraid that someone from that mysterious place can do it."
Chen Pingping also smiled: "So, what is your purpose?"
"I'm not in the mood to answer any of your questions right now. Do you really think that this rubbish you're sitting on can pose a threat to me?"
As soon as Li Ang finished speaking, the winner was decided between Shadow and Wang Shisanlang.
Wang Shisanlang injured his left hand, and the shadow did not move, but silently retreated behind Chen Pingping.
"I lost. But he didn't feel good either." Wang Shisanlang said stubbornly. He was very unwilling to accept this.
Li An shook his head: "You just haven't practiced for a long time."
"Shadow took action and was able to fight for such a long time. This Shisan Wang does not match the intelligence from the Overwatch Council."
Chen Pingping said calmly, waving his hand, and a black-armored knight came in with a few boxes. "Now, sir, can you tell me the purpose of your visit to Qing Kingdom?"
"You like to hear it so much, right?" Li An was furious. Chen Pingping sent the Black Cavalry to surround his courtyard silently, and even threatened the lives of all the disciples in the courtyard to force him to answer, which made Li An very annoyed.
"Chen Pingping entered the palace as a eunuch when he was young, and was later sent to the Cheng Palace as a spy to monitor the then Emperor Qing and the Cheng Prince."
"How dare you!" Shadow could no longer bear it when he heard the word "eunuch" and drew out his sword to stab Li An.
Before Wang Shisanlang could react, Li An flew up and said, "You are the one who is so presumptuous!"
"Howl of the Divine Wind"!
A terrifying storm formed with Li Ang as the center, and a kick was thrown out like an explosion, leaving people no time to react.
By the time this dramatic change was over, the shadow had already flown out, slid several meters on the ground, and lay on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
Even the nameless sword had fallen apart.
At this moment, Chen Pingping's face was gloomy, and he stared at Li An as if he was going to eat someone, but he did not deny anything.
"If you like to hear it, I'll tell you!" Li An brushed his robe and continued, "During the surveillance, I became friends with the Prince of Cheng, the current Emperor Qing, and later became his confidant and worked for him."
"Very few people in the world know about your physical disability. Afterwards, you went to Danzhou and met Fan Xian's mother. She was a peculiar person. She understood you but did not discriminate against you. Instead, she treated you as a friend."
Looking at the broken teacup on the ground, Li An secretly said it was a pity: "Look at what you are doing now, you have already gone off track. Don't use excuses like you are doing it for Qing Kingdom or Emperor Qing. You are doing it for Ye Qingmei, right? This question is worth a thousand taels of gold. Then can you tell me your purpose?" "Yes, that period of time is really memorable!" Chen Pingping sat upright in the wheelchair, adjusted his cuffs, waved away the black rider who broke in after hearing the noise, and slowly said: "Mr. Li, can you tell me the truth of all this? Who killed Ye Qingmei?"
After a pause, Chen Pingping added: "This is not a threat, but a sincere request."
"This is really rare. Even the head of the Supervisory Council has to ask for help?" Li An habitually sneered. This was the routine of these superiors who slapped him in the face and then gave him a sweet treat. Now he just returned the favor to them.
"It's really interesting. Si Gu Jian also asked me the same question. It seems that you have a common enemy?"
Li An said with a smile, but as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Pingping's face changed drastically.
"Is it really so?" Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, bowed to Li An. He already understood the meaning of Li An's words.
In fact, how could he not guess the truth of the matter when he was so smart? Now, he just confirmed it through Li Ang's mouth.
"I believe you know what I will do, please keep it a secret for me."
It's no wonder he said this. He still has a lot of things to do with the Overwatch Council, but at this moment he doesn't want to reveal his true thoughts in front of the royal family.
Unlike the fight between the two princes, the Supervisory Council is a completely deformed existence. This all-powerful power depends entirely on Emperor Qing's trust in Chen Pingping, which is earned through Chen Pingping's loyalty over the years. If Emperor Qing becomes suspicious, then this support will no longer be able to help Chen Pingping.
"You can keep it a secret, but you have to pay more. And since you just attacked me, you have to pay double the amount!"
Chen Pingping was speechless. None of this frightened him. He just turned around and looked at Wang Shisanlang who was standing next to Li An.
"He won't tell anyone. If he does, I can help you for free!" Li An affirmed.
Chen Pingping nodded. The chance to escape promised by the Grand Master was, at times, more important than the Supervisory Council.
"I have achieved my goal today. I believe that the reward for you, sir, and the damage done to this house, those boxes should be enough!"
Chen Pingping acted decisively and was ready to leave after he finished speaking. He called the Black Cavalry to come in and carry away the unconscious Shadow, and then he wanted to say goodbye to Li Ang.
Li An said curiously: "No one can stop you from doing whatever you want. Now is a rare opportunity, aren't you curious about the result of what you did and what your ending will be?"
"I don't care about these." Chen Pingping shook his head. "I only care about Fan Xian. I wonder if he will take over the Supervisory Council or the Internal Treasury as Fan Jian thought?"
Chen Pingping murmured, "Sir, do you think what I am thinking is right or wrong?"
At this moment, realizing the opponent he was about to face, Chen Pingping seemed confused for the first time.
"It's inheritance, don't talk about taking over, it's painful to hear." Li An was speechless. If he wants to talk about extravagant words, it depends on you people: "Is there a possibility that he not only took over the inner treasury, but also inherited the Supervisory Council?"
"Oh? Hahaha, thank you very much sir! Goodbye!"
Looking at the disabled man leaving Wanshizhai, Li An curled his lips.
Fan Xian is so lucky. He has the help of his adoptive father Chen Pingping, godfather Wu Zhu, master Fei Jie, foster father Fan Jian, father-in-law Lin Ruofu, and biological father Emperor Qing. He was already at the finish line when he was born, okay?
As for the twists and turns that followed, to be honest, most of them were caused by his own wandering.
I have to learn from my mistakes and stop being so wasteful.
"Oh, you haven't taken the broken sword away yet!"
