Daqing: Chen Pingping's adopted son, biological mother Ye Qingmei

Emperor Qing was drawing something on a piece of scrap paper with a brush in his hand.

At this moment, Hong Sixiang stepped forward and entered the hall.

"Your Majesty, an assassination attempt has occurred in Niulan Street, targeting Fan Xian, the eldest son of the Fan family."

"The one who made the move was Cheng Jushu, an eighth-rank expert from Northern Qi."

Upon hearing Hong Sixiang's report, Emperor Qing suddenly stopped holding the writing brush.

How is Fan Xian?

He asked in surprise, his expression filled with worry.

He knew in his heart that Cheng Jushu was a notorious villain in the Northern Qi Kingdom.

He possessed exceptional martial arts skills, making him impervious to swords and spears. Most importantly, he was incredibly strong and possessed abundant internal energy.

He can be considered a top expert among the eighth-rank masters.

Hong Sixiang didn't hide anything and immediately told them what happened next.

Upon hearing that Fan Xian had apparently survived thanks to a sudden burst of energy from a medicinal pill, Emperor Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Medicine pills?"

"Could it be Chen Qingfeng?"

Suddenly, a thought popped into Emperor Qing's mind.

He also knew that Chen Qingfeng had used elixirs to save Lin Wan'er.

After a moment's thought, Emperor Qing regained his composure, smiled meaningfully, and asked:

"Eunuch Hong, who do you think is behind this assassination attempt?"

Upon hearing Emperor Qing's question, Hong Sixiang was startled.

Although he had some suspicions, he dared not say them.

Although Fan Xian is the son of Fan Jian, the Vice Minister of Revenue, he is an illegitimate child.

However, this very identity attracted the attention of the Northern Qi, who even went so far as to send an eighth-rank expert to assassinate him in the capital.

This is something that is very difficult to explain no matter what.

Seeing Hong Sixiang's submissive demeanor.

Emperor Qing gave a cold laugh and said:

"how?"

"Eunuch Hong, are you afraid to guess, or are you afraid to say it?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang immediately bowed and replied:

"Your Majesty, I dare not guess."

Emperor Qing's smile vanished, replaced by a cold and stern expression:

There's not much to guess.

"Besides Princess Li Yunrui, who would dare to do such a thing?"

"This Chen Qingfeng is quite clever; he was able to foresee the situation and allow Fan Xian to escape a calamity."

Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang frowned slightly and asked, puzzled:

"Your Majesty, is Chen Qingfeng involved in this matter?"

Emperor Qing did not reply to Hong Sixiang, but was lost in thought.

In the past, he had no expectations for his son.

I felt that a playboy who spent his days frequenting brothels and nightclubs was not up to the task.

But many things happened afterward.

However, this made Emperor Qing realize that he had probably underestimated Chen Qingfeng.

After a moment's thought, Emperor Qing inquired:

"Eunuch Hong, where is Ye Liuyun now?"

Hong Sixiang bowed respectfully in response:

"I was in the Jiangnan area earlier, and I'm currently on my way back to the capital."

Emperor Qing nodded. He kept track of the whereabouts of Grandmaster Ye Liuyun at all times.

"When the time comes, let Ye Liuyun test him!"

Emperor Qing pondered this in secret.

Although Ye Liuyun is a Grandmaster, he is easily vulnerable to being used against because of his family background.

……

the other side.

Fan Xian had already left with Teng Zijing.

"Just focus on recovering from your injury for the rest of the time."

"Take the pills Brother Chen gave me on time!"

Fan Xian looked at Teng Zijing and gave her some instructions.

Teng Zijing nodded without giving it much thought, and then got into the carriage with Fan Xian and left.

Fan Ruoruo did not leave with Fan Xian. After seeing Fan Xian and Teng Zijing off, she hurriedly returned to Chen Qingfeng's courtyard.

"Brother Qingfeng, you are really amazing."

"You were able to heal such a severe injury!"

Fan Ruoruo said with a smile, her face full of admiration.

Before Chen Qingfeng could react, the girl rushed forward and threw herself into his arms.

"Ruo Ruo, you've grown into a young woman now, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Looking at Fan Ruoruo holding him, Chen Qingfeng looked slightly helpless.

"Ok?"

Fan Ruoruo was slightly surprised, and looked up at Chen Qingfeng, saying:

"Brother Qingfeng, I...where am I too big?"

"Can't I hug you?"

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

Because of the assassination attempt on Niulan Street, Zuixianju was discovered to be a secret agent planted in the capital by the Northern Qi dynasty.

Left with no other option, Si Lili chose to flee.

On the outskirts of Kyoto, Si Lili, dressed as a peasant woman, was about to continue her journey north.

Just then, a large group of Black Riders surged in and surrounded her completely.

"This is a backup plan?" 2911

Upon seeing this, Si Lili was shocked and filled with despair.

He figured he probably wouldn't be able to leave this time.

Just as the Black Knights were about to attack Si Lili, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

A strong wind swept across, stirring up dust everywhere!

When she looked again, she noticed that another figure had appeared in front of Si Lili.

This man was rugged and bold, with deep features, dark skin, and hair as thin as needles!

Its pupils, in particular, were incredibly fierce, like those of a demon from hell.

One glance at it is enough to send chills down your spine.

Who else could it be but Gui Sheng, the grandmaster of Tianji Pavilion?

The Black Knights were all shocked to see Gui Sheng suddenly sacrifice himself.

Putting everything else aside, the terrifying aura emanating from Gui Sheng alone made them feel uneasy.

"Who are you?"

"The Surveillance Bureau's Black Knights are on duty, get out of the way!"

After a moment of silence, the Black Rider commander shouted.

Gui Sheng ignored this and stood motionless in front of Si Lili, like an insurmountable mountain.

Seeing that Gui Sheng remained unmoved, the Black Rider Commander raised his arm and shouted:

"Charge!"

"Take down Si Lili!"

At a command, the black-clad riders surrounding the area charged forward on horseback, swords in hand.

"Rumble..."

The earth trembled, and the shouts of battle shook the heavens.

Upon seeing this, Si Lili tensed up in fright.

Although no one knew who this burly man who suddenly appeared was.

But he also knew that one person alone could not withstand the charge of a large number of Black Riders.

Just as Si Lili was at a loss.

Gui Sheng, who was standing in front of him, drew his sword, and then, with a clang, it was heard!
