Chapter 74 What does it mean that Gu Jian has really arrived?
Russell cut to the chase: "So, what exactly does your dean want to do?"
"The Dean has his own considerations, and I don't know the specific plans." Despite saying this, Shadow still provided a very important clue: "However, before the news spread, Lord Wuzhu had already secretly met with the Dean. Lord Wuzhu must know about the Dean's subsequent plans."
With that, Shadow's mission was complete.
"Oh?"
That's interesting. It seems that the plot went off track because he leaked the information in advance.
However, since he could only connect with Wu Zhu, Chen Pingping's plan could only be related to Ye Qingmei and her son Fan Xian.
He definitely wanted to join in the fun. Given the old cripple's almost obsessive loyalty and guilt towards Ye Qingmei, he would be completely unreasonable once he went crazy.
But before that, he had to deal with another matter.
……
The Second Prince's Mansion.
"Bang!"
"Snapped!"
"Bang!"
The crackling sound hadn't stopped since the afternoon.
Ever since learning Fan Xian's true identity, Li Yunrui has gone completely hysterical and insane, smashing everything in sight. Even Li Chengze, who is known as the Madman, was driven to desperation and had no choice but to run away to a secluded courtyard for some peace and quiet.
After a long, long time, the sounds of smashing and looting finally stopped, and even Xie Bi'an couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Finally, things have calmed down."
Li Chengze, who was lying on the recliner with his face covered by a book and pretending to be dead, gave a cold laugh, his voice filled with utter exhaustion and a sense of hopelessness: "She's tired of smashing things, she should take a break."
Sure enough, in less than half an incense stick's time, the crackling sound rang out again.
Li Chengze covered his ears with both hands, completely at a loss. Couldn't God just take this crazy woman away?
The thought flashed through my mind, and less than a second later, the commotion on the other end stopped abruptly.
well!?
Li Chengze paused, listened intently for a while, and after confirming that it had really quieted down, he quickly ran next door to check. He saw Li Yunrui lying sprawled on the ground, breathing steadily.
Was it really taken away? That was incredibly efficient!
Li Chengze was secretly delighted. He quickly put his hands together and prayed devoutly in all directions, chanting in his heart, "Take away Father Emperor, take away Crown Prince, take away Third Prince..."
On the rooftop, Russell clapped his hands in satisfaction. Mission accomplished, lottery draw chances increased by 2.
I am grateful to the compassionate and merciful Heavenly Venerable Han for sending the Disorientation Powder and Bone-Rotting Pill.
In the Chaotic Star Sea, the Mind-Dispelling Powder is merely a low-level pill that disrupts the opponent's mind and creates temporary confusion. At most, it can only confuse a Qi Refining cultivator for a period of time, and the Bone-Corroding Pill only works on ordinary people.
But Li Yunrui was just an ordinary person, and Russell's method of drugging her this time was to use a large dose to satisfy her hunger and kill her instantly. First, he force-fed a packet of mind-numbing powder into Li Yunrui's mouth, which directly made her mentally impaired. Then, he gave her a diluted bone-rotting pill. At most, she would die in two or three years.
His death would have been caused by excessive worry and mental exhaustion, leaving no trace whatsoever.
Having settled things with Li Yunrui, Russell immediately returned to the Fan residence and headed to Cangshan with Fan Xian early the next morning.
Cangshan Mountain is located south of Beijing and is a genuine royal property. The Cangshan Villa on the mountain is also a well-known summer resort.
Upon entering the villa, Russell disappeared into the shadows, and Fan Xian completely relaxed.
On the one hand, it was because Russell and Wu Zhu were by his side, and on the other hand, it was because he was far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, and he could finally enjoy a rare moment of tranquility with Wan'er.
"What did you talk about with Chen Pingping?" In the shadows, Russell and Wu Zhu met up and asked directly.
In the world of Joy of Life, where scheming is everywhere and people speak in roundabout ways, Wu Zhu is a rare breath of fresh air. It's already remarkable that a robot's brain can develop emotions; to ask him to fabricate things would be truly difficult for him.
"Chen Pingping said he wanted to give Fan Xian a push and make him emperor," Wu Zhu said woodenly, holding the iron halberd.
My goodness, he really is plotting to kill Emperor Qing. Well done, Chen Pingping!
"So what exactly are your plans?"
"Wait," Wu Zhu uttered a single word, then continued, "Chen Pingping said he would handle everything."
What use is he coming here? Russell narrowed his eyes and pondered. Following Chen Pingping's idea, Cangshan was the burial ground he had set up for Emperor Qing.
However, the entire plan lacked one crucial condition: Emperor Qing.
How could he be so sure that Emperor Qing would come to Cangshan? If Emperor Qing were to hide away, who could do anything to him?
Damn it, riddle tellers are so annoying!
Isn't it more fun to just fight directly?!
More than half a month passed in this way, and Fan Xian also spent the happiest half month of his life, almost forgetting the unpleasant things in the capital.
However, what is bound to happen will eventually happen.
On that very morning, Cangshan finally welcomed its first outsider in recent days, but it was not Emperor Qing.
"What do you mean by 'Looking around at the sword at Cangshan Mountain'?!"
Fan Xian, who was fishing with Lin Wan'er by the pond, was shocked to hear the news from Wang Qinian and almost dropped his fishing rod into the water.
Who is Si Gu Jian? He is the most powerful killer among the four grandmasters of today.
What's even more despairing is that since he entered the capital, almost all the major events, whether they make sense or not, have been pinned on the shoulders of this Sword Saint of Dongyi City.
Is this person here seeking revenge?
"That's not all. News has also come back from Northern Qi that Master Kuhe is on his way."
Before Fan Xian could recover from the shock of the previous news, Deng Ziyue, who was standing next to Wang Qinian, dropped another bombshell.
"Did they come for me?" Fan Xian raised an eyebrow. Who in the world today would warrant the combined efforts of two grandmasters? It would be none other than himself, the successor of the Divine Temple. He composed himself, and in a flash, he guessed it was related to Chen Pingping. So he asked, "Any news from Ye Liuyun?"
"Your calculations are truly astute." Wang Qinian flattered him, nodding and saying, "Ye Liuyun made an appearance in the South China Sea the day before yesterday, and then headed north, also on his way to the capital."
"So that means the three grandmasters are all gathered at Cangshan. With such a grand display, do you think the one from the palace will come?" Fan Xian clicked his tongue and asked jokingly.
"Oh dear! My lord! This is not the time to talk about this." As the saying goes, the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is; Wang Qinian was exactly that anxious eunuch, jumping up and down in a panic: "Why don't we quickly pack our things and retreat through the back mountain path before the other Grandmasters arrive? As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback!"
"The world is so vast, where can I run to if I'm being targeted by a Grandmaster?" Fan Xian calmly rebaited his hook, then turned to the worried Wang Qinian and smiled, "Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it. Don't worry, I won't die."
Anyway, he has Uncle Wuzhu and Russell, so no one else will die but him.
