Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 95 Zhuge surrenders
"Humph, if he doesn't improve, he'll piss me off to death sooner or later!"

Chen Pingping looked at Leng Feibai's annoyed expression and smiled, "Come on, take me out for a walk. If we're late, we won't be able to catch the show."

A quarter of an hour later, in the dense forest outside Kyoto, Yan Ruohai looked at Zhuge who had surrounded him with his men and shouted angrily, "If you don't come out, I'll really die!"

The sound of breaking wind was heard, and a figure as fast as lightning walked past the black-clad men surrounding Yan Ruohai in an instant.

In an instant, the men in black fell to the ground like rice in autumn.

"Is your strength good?"

Chen Pingping looked at Leng Feibai who had returned to his side and said, "Even if it's Shadow, it's impossible to eliminate everyone in such a short time."

Leng Feibai turned around and looked at the stunned Zhu Ge, "Why, Master Zhu is always so cautious. How could he not be on guard against me?"

"When did you get together with the dean?!"

Zhu Ge said in disbelief, "Since you came to Beijing, you haven't even left the house on weekdays. How could it be possible..."

"It seems that Master Zhu doesn't know the purpose of my coming to Kyoto!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "Danzhou assassination, the Inspection Bureau issued an assassination order for my brother, I must go to Beijing to find out the reason. Dean Chen told me that he would help me find out the reason, but I want to do him a favor at the critical moment!"

After hearing this, Zhu Ge's expression turned extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but look at Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping said calmly, "Even if Leng Feibai wasn't here, it wouldn't be difficult to capture you today."

After saying that, Chen Pingping waved his hand, and the black cavalry soldiers hiding in the dark rushed out collectively and surrounded Zhuge.

Looking at the black knights around him, Zhuge's face turned ugly. Knowing that he had been exposed long ago, he said with a stiff upper lip, "Dean, can you tell me how I was exposed?"

"Tanzhou assassination!"

Chen Pingping spoke calmly, as if discussing something insignificant. "Even if the forged order was done by someone in the palace, it wouldn't have been successful without the cooperation of the Inspection Office. And Leng Feibai, that brat, was already certain it was you."

Seeing Chen Pingping throwing the words to him, Leng Feibai was speechless, but still gave his answer.

"Lord Yan's son was banished from the capital because of this, so he definitely wouldn't be colluding with anyone in the palace."

Leng Feibai said calmly, "As for why I suspect you, it's because you and Lord Yan are both the most likely candidates to succeed the dean. Danzhou's assassination of Lord Yan has damaged his reputation, and you're the biggest beneficiary. Plus, with your pointed face and monkey cheeks, I don't think you're a good person!"

"you!"

Zhuge was almost mad with anger. His appearance was a little chilling, but it wasn't enough to make him be suspected of being the murderer on the spot.

"Tell me, why did you do this?"

Chen Pingping asked in a calm tone as much as possible. After all, Zhu Ge had been his subordinate for many years, so how could he not have any feelings for him?

Zhuge sighed and stated his choice.

It was nothing more than worries that the Inspection Institute would block Shengcong in the future and that he would plot treason and rebellion.

When Leng Feibai heard that in order to solve the problem once and for all, he had to make the royal family members the shackles that bound the Inspection Institute, he laughed even more.

"Master Zhu, should I ridicule you for being so naive?"

Looking at Leng Feibai's appearance, Zhu Ge showed anger on his face even though he was like a trapped beast in a cage.

"As long as a person has ambition, no conditions can become shackles!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "Including gender."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Ge, Chen Pingping and Hong Sixiang who was hiding in the dark were struck by lightning.

Chen Pingping looked at Zhuge and sighed, "Come back with us. You don't have a chance."

Seeing this, Zhu Ge's face changed, and he took out a dagger and was about to commit suicide. The sound of breaking wind was heard again, and Hong Sixiang jumped out from the darkness and snatched the dagger from Zhu Ge's hand.

Looking at Hong Sixiang's expression, Zhu Ge knew that his situation was hopeless, and his face was filled with dejection. "Dean, can you please save some dignity for me?"

After hearing this, Chen Pingping sighed and said, "Eunuch Hong, you heard what Zhuge said just now, didn't you?"

After hearing this, Eunuch Hong turned to look at Chen Pingping, "Dean Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Pingping sighed and said nothing.

Looking at Chen Pingping's eyes, Hong Sixiang understood what he meant and returned the dagger in his hand to Zhu Ge.

Zhu Ge looked at the dagger in his hand and sighed. "Dean, this is my last piece of advice. I've actually been secretly following Fan Xian and Leng Feibai since they arrived in Kyoto. Fan Xian is a brilliant writer and could become a renowned official or a literary giant, but he has no fear of the imperial family. Such a person is not suitable for the Inspection Institute. As for Leng Feibai..."

Zhu Ge looked at Leng Feibai, "He doesn't like power, and he will definitely become the second Ye Liuyun in the future. And he is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble, so he can't become a threat to Qing Kingdom."

Looking at Zhuge's appearance, Leng Feibai's lips moved slightly, and his hands in his sleeves clenched into fists.

He really doesn't like to cause trouble, but if someone really comes to him, he will definitely not be afraid of it.

Chen Pingping pondered for a moment, then said, "Have you told anyone else what you said?"

Zhuge shook his head, as if he had let go of everything. "This is the last time I will give you advice. I have no regrets in my life. The journey ahead is long, everyone..."

Before Zhu Ge could finish his words, Leng Feibai rushed out and shattered Zhu Ge's heart meridian with one palm.

"Excuse me, my hands are itchy!"

There was no emotion in Leng Feibai's tone as he looked at everyone present calmly.

Chen Pingping looked at Leng Feibai and sighed, "What are you doing?"

"Where I learned martial arts, there's a traditional custom!"

Leng Feibai said helplessly, "Those who commit suicide will not have a good end in the afterlife, so I helped him, which can be regarded as repaying him a favor."

Everyone ignored Leng Feibai's words. Hong Sixiang bowed to Chen Pingping and said, "Dean Chen, I will return first. I will report everything that happened here to His Majesty without missing a word."

After saying that, Hong Sixiang flew into the air and left the dense forest.

Chen Pingping looked at the corpse on the ground and Zhuge's eyes, which were still open, and sighed, "I still remember how high-spirited and enthusiastic everyone was back then."

"I remember that too. I'll go back first. Fan Xian, please accompany him back."

After Yan Ruohai finished speaking, he led the surrounding black cavalry out of the dense forest.

Fan Xian was about to push Chen Pingping away, but was stopped by Chen Pingping.

"Fan Xian, please go back first. Leng Feibai and I have something to discuss!"

Fan Xian was stunned and looked up at Leng Feibai.

Leng Feibai nodded, signaling Fan Xian to leave first, and he would send Chen Pingping back.

Seeing this, Fan Xian didn't ask any more questions and turned to leave the dense forest.

Leng Feibai silently pushed the wheelchair and headed back to the capital with Chen Pingping.

"Now tell me how you saw through it and how many flaws I revealed!"

Listening to Chen Pingping's words, Leng Feibai used the Emperor's Qi-gazing Technique to check the surroundings. After confirming that no one was around, he sighed and said, "You really are asking for trouble, Dean Chen. Well, then I'll tell you just how wrong you are."
