Every deployment of the Black Knights signifies a threat to national interests and national security.
The soldiers at the city gate straightened their backs and saluted the Black Riders.
The common people watched the black riders depart with awe.
Wherever the black riders passed, they raised a cloud of dust, forming a long trail of dust.
Their figures faded into the distance, but the shock they left behind lingered for a long time.
What kind of changes will this mysterious and powerful Black Knights team bring to Kyoto? Everyone is watching with bated breath.
The soldiers standing guard at the gates of Kyoto looked at the menacing black cavalry and their faces still showed a trace of fear.
The Black Riders surged into Kyoto like a black torrent.
Their figures were like ghosts, sending chills down one's spine.
Every member of this army was dressed in black armor, their faces concealed by ferocious masks, making them appear exceptionally mysterious and terrifying.
Moreover, even their warhorses were clad in heavy armor, resembling mobile steel fortresses.
The Black Riders earned their infamous reputation entirely because of the blood and carnage on their hands.
This army had experienced countless brutal battles, killing countless enemies and achieving numerous victories. Therefore, anyone who heard the name "Black Riders" would feel fear.
The Black Riders stopped in front of the Overwatch Council, standing in neat rows like a steel forest.
Then, a magnificent carriage slowly drove into the courtyard.
The carriage curtain was gently lifted, and a figure stepped out.
He is the shadow.
At that moment, Shadow was pushing Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair, down from the carriage.
Everyone in the Overwatch Council rushed out to welcome the returning director.
Their expressions were solemn, and their eyes gleamed with awe.
Chen Pingping sat quietly in his wheelchair, his gaze cold and profound, like an abyss.
His gaze swept across the crowd ahead, sending a chill down everyone's spine.
However, no one dared to meet his gaze; they all lowered their heads to show their respect for the dean.
Although Chen Pingping was a disabled person with both legs who could not stand or walk, his wise and dignified eyes made people dare not underestimate him.
His very presence is a deterrent, commanding respect from all. Within the Oversight Council, he is the absolute authority, wielding all power.
Once he returns here, the entire Oversight Council will obey his commands and become his loyal executors.

Chapter 41 Chen Pingping analyzes and reveals the real murderer of Lin Gong.
It was already quite late in Kyoto.
But because of Lin Gong's death, the Control Yuan remains brightly lit.
The shadow pushed Chen Pingping like an arrow, and they quickly arrived at the octagonal room where Lin Gong's body was kept.
Zhu Ge and Yan Ruo were still in the octagonal room at this time. Upon seeing Chen Pingping, they quickly bowed and greeted him.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
Chen Pingping nodded slightly, then immediately turned to look at the shadow and gave him an instruction:
"Shadow, go and find out the cause of Lin Gong's death."
Upon receiving the order, Shadow acted swiftly, appearing like a ghost beside Lin Gong's corpse in an instant.
He reached out and carefully examined the wound on Lin Gong's right arm, then observed the fatal wound on Lin Gong's chest.
After some investigation, Shadow had already formed a preliminary conclusion.
So he quickly returned to Chen Pingping and answered calmly:
"Dean, Lin Gong was killed by a sharp weapon, only the thickness of a finger, that pierced his heart at an extremely high speed."
Furthermore, no residual or fluctuating true qi was found at the wound site.
Unlike the previous attacks on the Red Armor Army outside Beijing, the perpetrators in this case were not the same person.
Listening to Yingzi's report, Chen Pingping's eyes flashed with doubt. After a moment of silence, he continued to press for answers:
"So, based on these clues, can you deduce roughly what level of ability the killer possesses?"
Just then, Zhu Ge took over Chen Pingping's question and responded:
"His Highness also reviewed this case during the day today."
According to his analysis, the murderer was very likely a grandmaster-level expert.
After hearing Zhu Ge's words, Chen Pingping turned to look at the shadow.
The shadow nodded slightly, indicating its agreement with the Second Prince's statement.
He said softly:
"Indeed, I have carefully examined the wound, and based on my experience and judgment, the person who made the move is very likely a grandmaster."
After all, even with my current skills, I couldn't launch such a swift attack.
Hearing this, Chen Pingping already had a general idea in mind.
He thought of the Five Sect behind Fan Xian. Both the thumb-sized weapon and the powerful strength it displayed matched the characteristics of the Five Sect.
However, he did not voice his speculation.
Then, Chen Pingping directly asked Zhu Ge and Yan Ruo:
"Does Your Highness have any other suggestions?"
Yan Ruo and Zhu Ge exchanged a glance, and then Zhu Ge answered again:
"His Highness the Second Prince made it clear that Lin Gong's wound was not from a sword, but from being pierced through the heart by a thin iron saw."
Moreover, this iron saw pierced the heart extremely quickly, its power reaching the level of a Grandmaster.
After saying this, the Second Prince left the Censorate and went directly to the palace to report to His Majesty.
Chen Pingping was also startled when he heard Zhu Ge's words. He did not expect that the Second Prince could analyze it so clearly. Could it be that the Second Prince had seen the Five Elements?
But he quickly dismissed his idea, because he knew very well that even Fan Xian didn't know the whereabouts of the Five Masters, who possessed the strength of a Grandmaster, let alone the Second Prince.
Thinking of this, Chen Pingping quickly composed himself, his eyes turning icy cold as he spoke to Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai like an iceberg:
"I heard that Lin Gong was the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Fan Xian in Niulan Street. Is that true?"
When Zhu Ge heard Chen Pingping ask this question, he did not hesitate and answered directly:
"Reporting to the Dean, that is indeed the case. Under the Second Prince's guidance, we found the body of He Zongwei, who was silenced, in the backyard of the Lin Gong family.
They also found direct evidence that He Zongwei had contacted the Northern Qi to assassinate Fan Xian.
Chen Pingping nodded slightly in agreement.
His gaze swept over Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai, then he continued to ask:
"Since you've found the evidence, why don't you just arrest Lin Gong?"
Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai exchanged a glance, clearly having considered this issue long ago.
Zhu Ge cupped his hands and replied, "Reporting to the Dean, the reason we didn't arrest him is mainly because this case involved the Crown Prince, so the Second Prince said he wanted to wait until you returned to discuss it before making a decision."
Chen Pingping frowned. He was waiting for him to return so they could discuss it. Haha, this Second Prince wanted to use him as a pawn!
After analyzing the current intelligence, he roughly understood the real reason why Wu Zu wanted to kill Lin Gong.
His brows furrowed, his face darkening as if it could drip water. After a moment's thought, he said to Zhu Ge and Yan Ruo:
"I understand. It's getting late, you should all go and rest!"
Upon hearing Chen Pingping's words, Zhu Ge and Yan Ruo did not linger. After bowing to Chen Pingping, they left the Overwatch Council.
After Zhu Ge and Yan Ruo left, Shadow slowly spoke:
"I think Lin Gong's death was the work of the Fifth Master behind Fan Xian."
Upon hearing Shadow's words, Chen Pingping's gloomy expression gave way to a chilling laugh, a laugh that seemed to emanate from hell, sending shivers down one's spine. He said:
"That's right, it was Wu Zu, and he killed Lin Gong to avenge Fan Xian."

Li Chengtian arrived first at the Imperial Study in the palace.
Second brother, how's the investigation into the killer who attacked Zheng Qiankun going?
Emperor Qing looked at Li Chengtian and spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of authority.
Upon hearing Emperor Qing's question, Li Chengtian replied directly:
