Chapter 1447 Confrontation, Ye Qingmei can do it, so can I

Si Lili had carefully planned her way of escaping from Kyoto. She first used six fake bodies to attract the attention of the Inspection Institute. Then she set out from the east, preparing to enter the sea from Danzhou, take a boat to leave Qing Kingdom and head to the border of Northern Qi.

She thought her plan was fine, but Fan Xian still saw through it, changed his route and caught up with her.

Si Lili knew very well that if she continued to escape like this, she would never be able to outrun Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, so she prepared to use the secret line that had been arranged long ago to stop Fan Xian and Wang Qinian completely, and deliberately lured them to a mountain village.

The plan was good. Although Fan Xian and Wang Qinian sensed something was wrong, they still chased after him. In the end, they were surrounded by dozens of Si Lili's men, who were disguised as bandits and were at least sixth-rank masters or above.

Just when Si Lili felt safe and was ready to leave, she was forced back by two teams of black knights.

Fan Xian and Wang Qinian, who were surrounded, stared in amazement at this drastic reversal, especially when they saw the two teams of black cavalry blocking Si Lili.

"Black Knight."

Wang Qinian was overjoyed, while Fan Xian stared in a daze at the oppressive black cavalry in front of him.

As the Commissioner of the Inspection Institute, he had naturally heard of the Black Knights that were known to sweep across the world, but today was the first time he had seen them and he was truly greatly shocked.

Si Lili's face was ashen. The Black Cavalry had arrived. She really had no way out now.

Seeing the Black Cavalry slaughtering dozens of bandits above the sixth rank like reaping the harvest, Fan Xian and Wang Qinian both felt that the situation was safe.

But at this moment, the ground suddenly shook again, and then, under the surprised gaze of everyone, a group of black knights appeared from where the Black Cavalry had just rushed over, and like a black whirlwind, they ran towards this side at a high speed.

The black cavalry who saw this scene drew their swords and formed a battle array, facing the oncoming troops with murderous intent.

When Wang Qinian saw that these dozens of knights were wearing various star masks, his expression suddenly changed.

"Thirty-six constellations."

After hearing this, Fan Xian immediately asked curiously, "Wang Qinian, who are these people?"

Wang Qinian explained solemnly, "The guards under the command of the Duke of Zhenguo, the Thirty-Six Constellations, have only shown up once, when they followed the Duke of Zhenguo to massacre Kyoto last year. Although they have no record of any battles, they are at least of rank seven. More importantly, their appearance represents the Duke of Zhenguo's orders."

"Hiss, it looks like the Duke of Zhenguo wants to protect Si Lili. We are in big trouble."

Fan Xian looked down, thinking back to yesterday when he met Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen did not show any reaction, but knowing that Si Lili was a spy from Northern Qi, he still sent his men to protect her today.

After the thirty-six constellations approached, they surrounded Si Lili in the center. The meaning of protection was very clear.

Si Lili felt that she was really swinging back and forth between ups and downs, and in the end, only endless emotion remained in her heart. She finally understood what Zhou Chen meant when he said that he would definitely protect her and return to Northern Qi. He had sent his most elite star guards, and his attitude was very clear.

Both are black in color. The Thirty-Six Constellations and the Black Cavalry were facing off. Although they did not fight, their imposing aura was already oppressive.

Shadow rode out from the black cavalry on horseback, and Sun Yi, wearing a mask, also stepped out from the thirty-six constellations.

Shadow said in a deep voice: "What do you want, Mr. Zhou?"

Sun Yi said: "The Lord has ordered that Miss Si Lili be escorted away. Anyone who stops us is an enemy."

The shadow didn't say anything, but Fan Xian couldn't help it, he strode forward.

"Si Lili is a spy from Northern Qi, and the Duke of Zhenguo is the Duke of Qing. Why would they help the spy from Northern Qi?"

Sun Yi looked at Fan Xian indifferently and said in a cold voice: "I don't know about Northern Qi's secret agents. I only know that the master has ordered that Miss Si Lili be escorted away. Anyone who obstructs is an enemy of the master."

"choke!"

The thirty-six constellations made almost the same movement, with long swords unsheathed and murderous aura rising to the sky.

The Thirty-Six Constellations are not just training according to a routine procedure, they have a lot of lives on their hands, and because they stay together for many years, they have a very tacit understanding in their cooperation.

The murderous aura rising into the sky frightened Fan Xian so much that he took two steps back involuntarily. Although he had practiced martial arts since he was a child and had experienced life-and-death battles, he had never faced a scene like this.

Wang Qinian rushed over and grabbed Fan Xian, and urged him urgently: "My lord, my lord, don't be impulsive. He is a grandmaster. You have seen the power of the Duke of Zhenguo. Calm down."

Then he whispered to Shadow, "Master Shadow, what should we do now?"

Shadow was also in a difficult situation. Although their Black Knights had more people, the key was that the Thirty-Six Constellations represented Zhou Chen. Even if they could wipe out all the Thirty-Six Constellations, they would not be able to fight back when facing the Grand Master.

The most important thing is that even Chen Pingping might not want to offend Grand Master Zhou Chen.

Fan Xian quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind, and soon, he thought of a solution.

"We can let Si Lili go, but before we leave, I want to ask her one thing alone. As long as she tells us, we will let her go. How do you think?"

Sun Yi thought of Zhou Chen's instructions, put away his knife, and came to Si Lili's side.

"Girl, the master ordered us to protect you. If you don't want to tell us, we will protect you and leave even if we die."

Si Lili couldn't see Sun Yi's appearance clearly, but she knew that he was an elite soldier under Zhou Chen's command. If he fought with the Black Cavalry for her, there would definitely be heavy casualties.

So she made a decision quickly.

"Okay, Fan Xian, I know what you want to ask. I can tell you."

After saying this, she rode her horse to a deserted spot nearby, and Fan Xian followed her happily.

A moment later, the thirty-six constellations escorting Si Lili quickly disappeared, followed by the black cavalry who also quickly left.

Before leaving, Shadow said to Fan Xian, "Except for the dean, no one else will know about what happened today. You decide how to say it."

In the end, only Fan Xian and Wang Qinian were left.

Seeing that Fan Xian remained silent, Wang Qinian asked cautiously, "Sir, has Si Lili spoken?"

Fan Xian remained silent. Si Lili told him the answer, but it was this answer that troubled him. He never thought that the person who planned to assassinate him was Lin Wan'er's second brother Lin Gong.

What does this make him do?
…………

The true energy crushed the note in his hand, and Zhou Chen looked in the direction where Si Lili left.

"Safe journey!"

He knew that the Thirty-Six Constellations might not be a match for the Black Cavalry, but he was even more certain that the Black Cavalry would not attack the Thirty-Six Constellations. Chen Pingping would not offend him for the sake of Si Lili.

In fact, to old silver coins like Chen Pingping or Emperor Qing, Si Lili is not important at all.

What Zhou Chen is curious about now is that Teng Zijing was saved by him, and Fan Xian now knows that the person who planned to assassinate him is Lin Gong. He wonders if he will still seek revenge on Lin Gong as in the plot.

A life and eighty thousand taels are two different concepts in Fan Xian's mind. I wonder if he will kill Lin Gong for the sake of "justice" this time.

"Fan Xian, what would you choose?"

Night, Qing Palace!
In Guangxin Palace, Li Yunrui was preparing to take a rest with the help of his maids, when suddenly one of the maids' face changed drastically.

"Who?"

The moment before, there was no one else in Guangxin Palace, but in the blink of an eye, there was suddenly another person sitting in the hall in front of them, as if he had been sitting there for a long time.

The two maids immediately took up their positions and protected Li Yunrui.

"Don't be nervous."

Li Yunrui walked out from behind them with a happy smile on his face.

"The arrival of the Duke of Zhenguo really brings glory to my humble Guangxin Palace."

She was indeed nervous just now, but after seeing that the person coming was Zhou Chen, she felt relieved.

For a Grand Master, it is very easy to sneak into the palace.

"But isn't the Duke of Zhenguo afraid of being discovered by the Grand Master in the palace when he breaks into the palace late at night?"

Zhou Chen laughed disdainfully and said, "A great master who only dares to hide in the palace, if I don't want him to find me, he will never find me in his lifetime."

Although Emperor Qing is a grandmaster, he really looks down on Emperor Qing. He does not have the courage that a strong man should have, and he only schemes and plots all day long.

He learned top-notch assassin skills in his previous life. Unless Emperor Qing was keeping an eye on him all the time, even if he entered the palace, as long as he didn't get close to Emperor Qing, he would not be able to find him.

"The Duke of Zhenguo's spirit is truly fascinating."

Li Yunrui sat down elegantly opposite Zhou Chen and ordered the two maids: "You go down first."

"Your Highness."

"Go down."

After sending the maid away, Li Yunrui regained his composure.

"The Duke of Zhenguo is visiting late at night. He should not just be passing by, right?"

"Of course, I came here specifically to see you."

Li Yunrui poured a cup of tea for Zhou Chen: "I don't know if there is anything I can do to help the Duke of Zhenguo, but please tell me and I will definitely help you."

Zhou Chen did not drink his tea, and said quietly: "I think Her Royal Highness the Princess has already known about my aunt's family coming to Kyoto."

Li Yunrui suddenly laughed: "It is rumored that the Duke of Zhenguo is cold-blooded and heartless, and doesn't recognize his relatives. You don't want me to help you get rid of them, do you?"

"They are annoying to me, but if I really want to get rid of them, I don't need to rely on others to do it."

"Then I wonder why the Duke of Zhenguo mentioned them?"

Zhou Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Why did they come to Kyoto? I'm sure you know who did it. Princess, you may not know me very well. I am too self-centered and I do things according to my own will. I am not afraid of others targeting me, but I hate others to disgust me. If others disgust me, I will always feel uncomfortable if I don't fight back."

"so?"

Li Yunrui's eyes lit up, and she began to understand what Zhou Chen meant.

"So, I am a vengeful person. Since he doesn't want me to live comfortably, I will find trouble for him. Tell me, isn't that fair?"

Li Yunrui laughed very happily and crazily: "Fair, very fair. What do you want to do?"

Zhou Chen said: "I know a little about the matter between the princess and that person. I'm sure the princess is unwilling to hand over the power of the inner treasury just like that."

Li Yunrui did not deny it either: "This is a well-known fact. If it was handed over to someone else, I would not say anything, but if it was handed over to Fan Xian, a bastard, and I were asked to marry my daughter to him, I would naturally not be happy. Could it be that the Duke of Zhenguo wants to help me? As far as I know, you seem to have some relationship with Fan Xian. He has been to your Duke of Zhenguo Mansion more than once. Will you really help me?"

"I didn't say I would help you deal with Fan Xian. I came here to cause trouble for that person. I came here just to tell you something."

"what's up?"

"About Grandmaster Ye Liuyun."

Li Yunrui's face suddenly changed slightly. She was able to contact Ye Liuyun, but very few people knew about it. She didn't understand how Zhou Chen knew about this.

"What do you want to say?"

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said, "What I want to say is that you are being played around by that person without knowing it. You think Ye Liuyun is your man, but you don't know that Ye Liuyun is actually an undercover agent he arranged to be by your side."

"impossible."

Li Yunrui screamed and lost her composure. She paid a huge price to win over the Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, but Zhou Chen actually told her that Ye Liuyun was Emperor Qing's man, an undercover agent arranged by Emperor Qing to be by her side.

Zhou Chen said: "Nothing is impossible. You underestimate the Grandmaster and Emperor Qing too much. Think about it, you have done so much for him over the years, and what did you get in the end? Soon even the power of the inner treasury will be lost, right?"

Li Yunrui's beautiful face was full of coldness. Zhou Chen had touched her sore spot. She had done so much over the years, but what did she get in the end?
"Whether Ye Liuyun is an undercover agent or not, you can slowly investigate, but I came to the palace today, and it can't be in vain. There are some things that make me more unhappy the more I think about them, and the more unhappy I am, the more I can't stand it. I must do something to feel relieved. If it is convenient for you, Princess, can you lend me three things?"

Zhou Chen originally just wanted to disgust Emperor Qing tonight, but after telling Li Yunrui about this, he still felt unhappy, so he thought of another way to vent his anger.

"What do you want to borrow?"

"Three feet of white silk, a dagger, and poisoned wine!"

Li Yunrui looked stunned: "What do you want to do?"

"Didn't I tell you that venting your anger shouldn't be a difficult task for the princess, right?"

Li Yunrui didn't understand what Zhou Chen was trying to do, but after thinking about it, she decided to ask someone to prepare these three things.

Soon, the three items were brought.

Zhou Chen said: "I want to use them to do something. These are your things. If they are found on you, you can't blame me."

Li Yunrui said calmly: "You can use it as you like. No matter what you want to do, it won't be traced back to me."

"Thank you very much, I'm leaving."

Zhou Chen picked up the three items and disappeared in front of Li Yunrui in a flash.

Li Yunrui frowned, not worried about what Zhou Chen was going to do. She was still thinking about what Zhou Chen had just said about Ye Liuyun.

"Ye Liuyun, Ye family..."

After Zhou Chen left Guangxin Palace, he did not leave the imperial palace. Instead, he wandered around the harem and soon found the empress dowager's palace.

He sneaked into the Queen Mother's bedroom without anyone noticing, and sneered at the Queen Mother who was sleeping soundly.

"What Ye Qingmei can do, I can do as well. You use that family to disgust me, so I will use your mother to scare you. It's fair, isn't it?"

He placed the three-foot white silk, the dagger and the poisoned wine at the head of the empress dowager's bed, and then left without anyone noticing.
