Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 388 Chu Pingsheng: I am really a lustful person
This combination of a man, a woman and a monkey, one dressed calmly in green, one dressed plainly and ignorantly, and one with blood-stained hair and murderous aura, made the people of Kyoto City panic and avoid them, causing chaos.

Compared with the day when they entered the city and drew their swords to kill people after a disagreement, the Western Hu barbarians today were even more excessive. It was like one man and one monkey picking up the Censorate, and the emperor had to endure it and give in.

However, no one threw vegetable leaves, stones or eggs today. One reason was that they didn't dare, because if he said he would kill your whole family, he would kill your whole family, without any ambiguity. Another reason was that the Supervisory Yuan did not have a good reputation. Not only were officials afraid of them, but the people also hated spies, because you never knew when your drunken nonsense would reach the ears of the spies and bring disaster.

In the carriage at the corner of the street, Lin Wan'er clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, her face was pale, and her heart was pounding.

Before this, she didn't know what kind of person Chu Pingsheng was. After this, she found out that he was indeed a bold and arrogant guy who disregarded the laws of Qing Kingdom and the imperial power.

If it were in the past, Fan Xian would definitely notice her expression and offer words of comfort.

Not at this moment, because he was very panicked. He thought Chu Pingsheng came to the Supervisory Office to get an explanation, but he didn't expect that Emperor Qing would ask the Supervisory Office to hand over Si Lili.

What if Si Lili told Chu Pingsheng that he had interrogated her and knew that the real murderer who planned the Niulan Street assassination was Lin Gong before Lin Gong's death, and told Lin Wan'er about it.

Would Lin Wan'er doubt him? Question him? How would he answer then?

"That Yuan Hongdao is the counselor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?"

Ye Linger used her sword to push aside the curtains, and looked at Yuan Hongdao who was being carried on a stretcher by the patrol soldiers to the prime minister's residence and said, "He actually killed your father's retainer for a Northern Qi spy? This guy doesn't take Prime Minister Lin seriously at all. He is indeed a villain."

……

Two hours later.

Concierge Court.

The bright river stretches across the sky, the stars and the moon shine together, the wind blows gently, and the willows sway.

It was as if the killing in broad daylight was a thing of the last century.

Chu Pingsheng drank three cups of tea in the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard and counted the stars for a long time. He watched the servants arranged by the Honglu Temple carry trays into the west wing and carry trays out of the west wing. The rice in the bowl was not touched, but the dishes on the plate were eaten up a little.

"grown ups……"

Chu Pingsheng didn't say anything, just waved his hand, and the servant bowed and left.

After a moment, he took the last sip of tea, pushed open the door of the west wing and walked in.

Si Lili sat on the bed, changed into a clean shirt, and tied her hair neatly. Although there was still an unconcealable shock in her eyes, her spirit was much better than when she just came out of the Supervisory Office.

Seeing him come in, Si Lili clenched her hands on her knees into fists and looked at him without blinking.

This is normal.

No one told her who he was, what his name was, where he was from, whether he had any relationship with her, or why he saved her.

Just now she tried to ask the servants, but they both ignored her. Later she realized that this was the Protocol Court under the Honglu Temple, and that Lord Chu was most likely a foreign envoy. How could a servant who did odd jobs in such a place dare to talk to her, a spy from Northern Qi.

"I know you have a lot of questions, so please briefly introduce yourself."

Chu Pingsheng sat on the round stool opposite her: "My name is Chu Pingsheng, a disciple of the Western Hu Grandmaster, and the future king of the grassland. The purpose of my visit to Qing Kingdom this time is to travel and study."

Grandmaster Xihu?
Xihu also has a grandmaster?

Si Lili was very surprised, but soon she understood. No wonder he dared to go against the Supervisory Commission. It turned out that he had such a strong background.

"Then save me..."

"The purpose of rescuing you? What do you think?"

Si Lili: “…”

She is a spy from Northern Qi, and he is a disciple of the Grand Master of Western Hu. The reason he rescued her is because... Western Hu wants to join forces with Northern Qi to fight against Southern Qing?
But what he did was equivalent to doing something tricky under Emperor Qing's nose.

No, they smashed the signboards of the Supervisory Council, and killed one-fifth of the thousand-man Black Knights directly to the White Ape. This will be a big move that will be famous throughout the country.

If it's not the above reasons, then...

Did Chu Pingsheng know that she was an orphan of the Nanqing royal family? Did he know that she was a close friend of the Northern Qi emperor Zhan Doudou? Or did he come here for the Niulan Street assassination case?

"Look at your eyes rolling around, you must be thinking a lot."

Chu Pingsheng stood up and walked to the bed, hooked her soft chin: "Actually, my motive for saving you is very simple." Si Lili raised her head, her eyes moving, staring blankly at the man shrouded in mist in front of her.

Chu Pingsheng's fingers slowly moved upwards, his thumb gently flicking her red lips, and he leaned closer and said, "I heard that you are the top singer of Zuixianju, there is no such singer on this grassland, I like you more. You said... I spent a lot of money to redeem you from the Supervisory Office, shouldn't you serve me wholeheartedly?"

! ! ! ! ! !
Si Lili’s brain suddenly froze.

Now in the whole Kyoto, everyone's impression of her is that she is a secret agent of Northern Qi and the murderer behind the assassination of Fan Xian. The Ministry of Justice, the Supervisory Council, the Kyoto Prefecture and the people behind them all want to make a fuss about her, but this guy in front of him... is actually coming for her status as the top performer of Zuixianju?
The Censorate was killed like a piece of shit, even the emperor was alarmed and sent his personal guards to the scene to maintain order. He...he just wanted to sleep with the top girl in Zuixianju?

Is this motive simple?

Very simple.

Is it simple?
Not simple either.

As the two faces got closer and closer, and the masculine breath sprayed on her face, Si Lili subconsciously turned her head away.

"Could it be that the top performer at Zuixianlou doesn't even know how to please a man?"

"Sir, I just came out of the dungeon... my body..."

"You're weak, huh? People who are weak should please me more." Chu Pingsheng pushed her down on the bed, pinched the green silk ribbon around her waist and pulled it gently. The silk ribbon slid down and the dress was torn in two.

Just as Si Lili was about to push him away, she heard him say in a cold voice, "Do you think the Overwatch Council will let me have you so easily? They have already planted a chronic poison in your body. As long as they can make you die in the Protocol Court at the right time, it will be my own responsibility and has nothing to do with them."

"How can this be?"

"Some poisons need an initiator to work, such as just a hint of flower scent. Oh, these are all my leftovers, and you use them to deal with my woman, Chen Pingping. Lingchi death is too easy for you."

After saying this, he lifted his foot and hooked it lightly, and the gauze curtain fell, covering the infinite spring scene on the bed.

"I'm poisoned, you..."

"This is my unique detoxification recipe. It's unique."

……

While Chu Pingsheng and Si Lili were enjoying a night of love worth a thousand gold, Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair in the imperial study of Xingqing Palace, sneezed twice.

Li Yunqian sat cross-legged on the couch in a bright red robe, seemingly not caring that the empress dowager had just been buried and it was inappropriate to wear this. He held a bamboo slip in his hand, tilted his head and looked at it for a few seconds, then his face, which had been calm the moment before, suddenly changed, and he threw the bamboo slip in front of Chen Pingping.

Snapped……

The hemp rope broke and the bamboo strips scattered all over the ground.

"Your people from the Overwatch Council were found out for secretly poisoning me, and the spy who was following me was also imprisoned. The other party brought people to confront me, but it was just a trade of exchanging people. You were so arrogant and made such a big mess for me. Now that things have come to this, you still have the nerve to come to me to complain?"

Li Yunqian was so angry that he waved his sleeves and said sinisterly: "Chen Pingping, tell me, what does the heavy casualties of your Black Cavalry have to do with me?"

Chen Pingping shook his arms in a hurry, and bowed, "Your Majesty, the Black Cavalry and the Supervisory Council have always belonged to Your Majesty. It is Your Majesty's trust in me that allows me to exercise management power."

Li Yunqian had reminded him not to have a conflict with Chu Pingsheng, but the Black Cavalry was slaughtered by the White Ape as soon as they returned to Kyoto City. Was this just a slap in the face of Chen Pingping and the Supervisory Council? No, even the emperor was embarrassed.

"You also know that the Overwatch Council and the Black Knights belong to me, but have you ignored everything I said?"

Chen Pingping kept bowing, not daring to look up: "Your Majesty, I am doing this...actually for your sake."

"For my sake? So, I should thank you?"

"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, the Si Lili that Chu Pingsheng wants is not an ordinary spy. He has some connection with the Emperor of Northern Qi."

Li Yunqian looked thoughtful when he heard this.

No wonder Hou Zhigang told him after returning to the palace that it was Bai Feng's idea that Chu Pingsheng was willing to massacre everyone in the Overwatch Council in order to rescue Si Lili.

You should know that the agreement between him and Bai Feng was that after the Nanqing's attack on Qi was over, he, Bai Feng, and Ye Liuyun would kill Ku He in the north and attack Si Gu Jian in the east. After that, Dongyi City would be given to Nanqing, and the remaining territory of Northern Qi would be given to Xihu.

The people of Northern Qi have always regarded themselves as culturally orthodox, and even looked down on the Kingdom of Qing, not to mention the barbarians of the Western Hu. If they wanted to minimize the losses, then supporting a puppet emperor and slowly transitioning would be a good choice.

It seems that Bai Feng wants to use Si Lili to get close to Zhan Doudou.
