Chen Pingping was sitting in a wheelchair, reading the secret letter sent from below. Wang Qinian and Shadow stood beside him, not making a sound.
They knew that Chen Pingping did not like to be disturbed when reading the secret letter.
After a long time, Wang Qinian brought a cup of hot tea and placed it on Chen Pingping's left side.
Chen Pingping put down the secret letter and picked up the tea cup with a gloomy look. Wang Qinian reminded him in a low voice: "Mr. Dean, be careful of scalding the tea."
"How have you been around Fan Xian lately?" Chen Pingping asked, taking a sip of tea.
"Master Xiao Fan treats people with sincerity and has no doubt that I am the dean's son." Wang Qinian said with a smile.
Chen Pingping sighed: "I will send you to Fan Xian, and you will assist him well. As for your wife and children, I will take care of them."
"Thank you, Mr. Dean." Although Wang Qinian was still smiling, there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.
When Fan Xian entered Beijing, Chen Pingping sent Wang Qinian to contact him, not only to escort him, but also to monitor him.
Not long ago, Fan Xian and Teng Zijing were regarded as the murderers of Lin Gong and were imprisoned. Although Teng Zijing saved his life, he could no longer help Fan Xian.
At this time, Wang Qinian appeared at the right time, looking like a money fan, and quickly gained Fan Xian's trust.
Although Wang Qinian is not amazing in appearance, he is very cunning. He knows the situation in Kyoto very well and is efficient in doing things. He has a ninth-grade cultivation level, and his Qinggong is unparalleled in the world. He is highly valued by Chen Pingping.
"Dean, Mr. Fan has been in frequent contact with the shopkeeper of Wang's Bufang recently. I feel that the shopkeeper is a bit unusual." Wang Qinian told Chen Pingping about the recent events around Fan Xian.
"Wang's Bufang." Chen Pingping lowered her head and thought for a while, then said to Wang Qinian: "You don't have to worry about that shopkeeper Wang, he will never hurt Fan Xian."
Wang Qinian said cautiously: "Based on my recent observation, the clerks in Wang's cloth workshop are all highly skilled in martial arts. There is also a huge darkroom below the cloth workshop, which is obviously not an ordinary cloth workshop."
Chen Pingping glanced at Wang Qinian expressionlessly.
Wang Qinian immediately shut up, took a step back knowingly, and said no more.
"You can find a way for Fan Xian to get in touch with the manager of Zuixianju," Chen Pingping said.
Wang Qinian frowned and said: "Sir, Dean, that Si Lili appears to be an oiran from Kyoto, but is actually a spy planted by Northern Qi. Will you get into trouble if Mr. Xiao Fan comes into contact with Si Lili?"
Chen Pingping smiled and said, "You care about Fan Xian very much."
Wang Qinian replied: "The dean asked me to protect Mr. Fan, so I will naturally fulfill my duties faithfully."
Chen Pingping explained: "Don't worry! I asked Fan Xian to contact Si Lili just to give him a great achievement."
Wang Qinian didn't ask any more questions and took the order to leave.
All that was left in Chen Pingping's room was her shadow wrapped in a black robe.
"Shadow, have you checked Wang's cloth shop?"
"Wang's Cloth Shop is Anhe's stronghold in Kyoto." Shadow said.
Chen Pingping said calmly: "Anhe is becoming more and more bold now, and he even dares to assassinate Qin Ye."
"Dean, since you have found the real culprit, why don't you report it to His Majesty?" Shadow is Chen Pingping's most trusted person and knows some secrets that others don't know.
In fact, over the years, the Inspection Institute was not aware of the Underwater Killer Organization, and it also knew a thing or two about the situation in the grassland, but Chen Pingping chose to hide it from Emperor Qing.
"Fan Jian's kid has some skills. It's not easy to build a business in the grassland over the years. If I take action again, I'm afraid I will really have a deadly feud with the Fan family." Chen Pingping sighed:
"Fan Xian cannot do without the support of the Fan family in the future."
Shadow worried: "After the grassland is unified, although it encounters natural disasters and is unable to leave east for the time being, there is no guarantee that it will not become a serious problem for Qing in the future."
Chen Pingping said: "I have been observing what that kid does over the years. Although he can use thunderbolt methods, he still has a bottom line. Otherwise, if there was a disaster on the grassland, he would have led his cavalry eastward, causing a loss of life.
Speaking of which, if Fan Xian had that kid's five skills, maybe I would have been able to achieve my wish long ago."
Shadow may be the only person who knows Chen Pingping's inner wish.
This secret spy king who lost his legs would have committed suicide long ago if he hadn't wanted to avenge Ye Qingmei.
"Shadow, from now on, whether I'm here or not, you must support Fan Xian and fulfill my wish." Chen Pingping suddenly touched the power button on the wheelchair and smiled suddenly:
"I have a feeling that I should be able to help the young lady get revenge soon!"
Shadow was startled and slightly worried: "Master Dean, with our current strength, we are not enough to shake that person."
Chen Pingping shook her head and said: "Our preparations are not enough, but if we can unite with the Fan family, we will have a great chance.
You go to Wang's Clothing Factory immediately, it's time for me to meet the child."
The shadow followed the order and went away, like a ghost, sneaking into Wang's cloth shop and hiding on the beams.
Below, Wang Gang is eating, accompanied by Black Scorpion and Iron Rat.
"Since Master Shadow is here, why don't you come down and eat together." Wang Gang picked up a chopstick of green vegetables and said quietly.
Black Scorpion and Iron Rat reacted immediately, guarding Wang Gang. Black Scorpion even took out a rattle and looked at the beam of the house with a sinister look.
The shadow turned over and fell to the ground as light as a feather.
"The dean wants to see you." Shadow said.
Wang Gang said disdainfully: "If Chen Pingping wants to see me, do I have to meet her? Didn't you see me eating?"
Shadow said: "The dean knows what you did in Kyoto. He helped you suppress it, otherwise this cloth workshop would have been surrounded by the army."
Wang Gang sneered and said: "I didn't ask Chen Pingping to help me. I haven't settled the accounts with him yet when he cheated me!"
Shadow explained: "The dean had actually been secretly sending people to protect you back then, otherwise how could you have walked into the grassland unharmed."
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "Chen Pingping is doing something unnecessary, I don't need his protection at all.
If he wants to see me, he can come over in person, and I don’t have time to go out.”
"I will convey your words to the dean." Shadow said coldly.
Wang Gang glanced at the shadow that was about to leave, and asked: "When you help Chen Pingping, do you want him to help you kill Sigu Jian?"
Shadow's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he quickly pulled out a soft sword from his robe.
"What do you know!" Shadow pointed his sword at Wang Gang and said sullenly.
Iron Rat made a mistake and stood in front of Wang Gang. Unexpectedly, his hands were covered with a pair of steel claws.
"You only have the ninth-grade peak cultivation level. It is basically impossible to kill Sigu Jian in this life." Wang Gang said to Shadow while eating.
"Everyone who knows my identity will die." Shadow drew his sword directly, using the Sigu sword technique.
The Iron Rat smiled sinisterly, and a pair of iron claws turned into a copper wall, blocking the shadow's sword.
The more the shadow fights, the more frightened he becomes. Iron Rat's strength is actually at the peak of the ninth level, not below him. He also has that claw skill, which is sharp and fierce, making him very difficult to deal with.
"Si Gu Sword Technique can only reach the ninth level. If you want to go further and break through the Grand Master, you have to learn how Si Gu Sword is to be ruthless and love in order to enter the Tao." Wang Gang's voice reached Shadow's ears, making him no longer able to
Even though he was calm, his swordsmanship also showed some flaws that shouldn't be there.
The Iron Rat seized the flaw and grabbed the shadow's soft sword. Once the iron claws were twisted, the long sword turned into scrap metal.
Hiss!
Iron Rat grabbed it and took off the mask on Shadow's face, revealing a rather handsome face.
"It turns out you're not ugly either. You wear a mask all day long. I thought you were too shameless to see people." Iron Rat pinched Shadow's mask and said with a smile.
"Old man, come back!" Black Scorpion shouted at this time.
"My wife told me not to fight with you." Iron Rat quickly returned to Wang Gang.
Shadow glanced at the long sword that was twisted into pieces on the ground, and was a little distracted for a moment.
"I have been practicing swordsmanship all my life. Is it true that I can't defeat the great master?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Didn't I say it! As long as you can be ruthless and loveless, enter the Tao through killing, understand that all things in nature are used to educate people, people have nothing to repay heaven with, and everything can be killed, you can break through the realm of the great world.
Grandmaster, catch up with Sigu Jian."
"Being ruthless and loving, is that still a human being?" Shadow asked.
"Then do you think Sigu Jian is still a human being?" Wang Gang asked rhetorically.
"He is not a human at all, he is just a beast. Even the Grand Master is not a human." Shadow said bitterly.
