"This transit point is located at 3 Qiluofengpo, where (two) 9 yo-yi appeared three times?"
Xie Bi'an glanced at her and interjected:
"Besides Ye Liuyun, the other two Grandmasters were neither Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City nor Ku He from Northern Qi."
"Oh?"
Li Chengze was even more shocked and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"This is getting more and more interesting!"
"When did the waters of Kyoto become so deep?"
"What kind of power could have two Grandmasters overseeing it?"
As he spoke, Li Chengze glanced at Xie Bi'an.
Xie Bi'an looked slightly embarrassed and shook his head, saying:
"Your Highness, don't look at me! I don't know either."
Li Chengze took a deep breath and said:
"That's good, at least I can be cleared of suspicion."
"I'm afraid that the Crown Prince and the Empress had suspected me before, thinking that I was the one who did this to them."
"That's good, I don't need to prove my innocence anymore."
"Two Grandmasters? I have no such figures under my command."
……
Inside a secret room of the Control Yuan.
The bronze lamp tree cast a deep blue light.
Chen Pingping's withered fingers were caressing a willow-leaf dart, while a secret report that had just been presented lay spread out on the iron table.
"It's not surprising that Wu Zhu has appeared."
Chen Pingping suddenly chuckled softly, her hoarse voice echoing in the stone chamber:
"As for the other grandmaster, he is tall and imposing, and I have never heard of such a grandmaster in the world."
"Could it be a newcomer?"
The more Chen Pingping thought about it, the more puzzled she became.
I really can't figure out which force attacked the Empress.
"Could it be Fan Xian?"
"Could it be that Wu Zhu has already told him what happened back then?"
"That's not right. The message said that Wu Zhu made it clear on the spot that he did not know that Grandmaster (Liao Liao Zhao)."
Chen Pingping looked puzzled and serious.
He had never encountered anything so bizarre since he took over the Supervisory Council.
Just then, a shadow fell down from the beam.
"Dean, should I go and investigate?"
"check?"
Chen Pingping threw the willow-leaf dart into the chopping board, the dart's tail still trembling even after it had penetrated deep into the wood.
"How many places in the world can command the power of an unfamiliar Grandmaster?"
"At least, there is no such force in our Oversight Service's files."
"After all, there are only a handful of grandmasters in the world."
The shadow nodded, and said with slight doubt:
"That's a strange thing."
Chen Pingping glanced at him, deep in thought.
After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke:
"It's not strange at all."
"However, there is an extremely powerful force operating in the shadows, unknown to us."
As he spoke, Chen Pingping sighed, then changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, what's Feng'er doing today?"
"The young master is in his own courtyard and has not gone out."
The shadow replied.
Chen Pingping nodded and said:
"We must investigate the matter of the Empress being kidnapped."
"But there's no need to investigate further."
The shadow gave a soft "hmm" in response.
…Only…
Meanwhile, Chen Qingfeng was...
He sat cross-legged on the bed, consolidating his state of mind.
Not long ago, he broke through to the third level of the Divine Power of the Eternal Life Technique.
Now, he has transformed all the true energy in his body into protective energy.
After stabilizing himself, he slowly opened his eyes, got out of bed, and went to the bedside, looking in the direction of Cangshan Mountain.
"Although Ye Liuyun was there to escort the Empress."
"But with Gui Sheng and the others taking action, kidnapping the Empress shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"I wonder what kind of expression that dignified and virtuous Empress will have when she sees me?"
Chapter 79: Chen Qingfeng Confronts the Empress! Ye Qingmei Is Still Alive?! Phoenix Prison Pavilion! Enemies Meet!
at this time.
A carrier pigeon landed on the windowsill.
Chen Qingfeng saw this, got up, took down the bamboo tube, and unfolded the secret letter, which contained only a few words:
"The phoenix has entered its cage, awaiting its lord's arrival."
Chen Qingfeng smiled calmly, and the letter ignited with a ghostly blue flame in his palm before turning to ashes in an instant.
Just as he had guessed.
The Empress has now been secretly moved to the dungeon of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion.
The only thing Chen Qun didn't expect was the four feedings.
Wu Zhu and Fan Xian also appeared at Luofeng Slope.
"Judging from Fan Xian's attitude towards me."
"Wu Zhu probably hasn't revealed my true identity yet."
Thinking of this, a meaningful smile appeared on Chen Qingfeng's lips, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes:
"It's time to go and meet the Empress, who is the mother of the nation."
……
In the dark, secret chamber beneath the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
A faint smell of blood permeated the damp, cold air.
After the Empress was brought here, she was locked in a black iron chair, her hands and feet bound by specially made shackles.
His once magnificent phoenix robe was now disheveled, and the gold embroidery was covered in dust.
The phoenix hairpin on her head was askew, her hair was disheveled, and her face appeared extremely pale.
"Let me go!"
"I...I am the Empress! How dare you!"
“Kidnapping the Empress is a heinous crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one’s family.”
The Queen shouted in a hoarse voice.
There was no response at all, except for the occasional crackling sound of the torches on the wall, which reflected her panicked and uncertain eyes.
The Empress looked around the secret chamber, her heart pounding like a drum.
"Who exactly arrested me?"
"Northern Qi? Impossible, Ku He wouldn't use such methods."
"Dongyi City? Si Gu Jian has always acted openly and honestly. If he wanted to kill me, he would have already struck me with his sword."
"..."
The Empress was lost in thought.
Earlier, she thought that the person who was most likely to harm her was Chen Pingping.
But today at Luofengpo, I saw that the other side had two Grandmasters making a move.
She then realized she had guessed wrong.
Chen Pingping has no Grandmasters under his command.
In addition, the same applies to the Second Prince.
This allowed the Queen to eliminate all those she had previously suspected as potential suspects.
I thought and thought, but I still couldn't figure out who it could be.
Just then, the stone door to the dungeon slowly opened.
