Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

The wind and rain stopped, but the city of Kyoto seemed a little chilly because of the rain.

When the team reached an area with better road conditions, the two men got on the carriage and headed slowly towards the city.

After entering the city and seeing Lang Tao and the other man returning to the inn, Li An slowly withdrew his gaze.

The carriage continued to move forward.

Looking at the direction the carriage was heading, Chen Pingping's voice was calm, but his pupils were a little narrowed. He looked at the main road that seemed to lead to the end of the world with a little vigilance. He didn't know if the situation tonight would continue to develop in a worse direction.

"Miss has also made great efforts to make this country what it is today."

After saying this, Chen Pingping paused for a long time, as if he had just come out of the turbulent years of his youth. He slowly said, "If possible, I don't want it to be destroyed."

"Why bother pretending anymore?"

"If the words on the stone tablet erected at the gate of the Overwatch Council were not spoken by your young lady, would you believe it?"

Li An sneered, and then the curtain on one side of the car quietly opened a gap, allowing people to see the buildings outside that were receding from time to time.

Although this was the darkest time before dawn, Chen Pingping could still vaguely see the outlines of some buildings and imagine what a bustling scene the streets would be like in a few hours.

"In your heart, the people in this city are nothing but grass, right?"

Ang Lee punctured the fantasy and he was not talking nonsense.

In Chen Pingping's heart, he was not really fighting for the people of this country. He thought so in his heart, and he also acted so.
As for the Chen Garden, which allows people to be free and equal without distinction of high and low, it is only built on the basis of Chen Pingping's absolute power. Otherwise, how could this crazy Kyoto city allow such a thing to exist?

But Chen Pingping possessed absolute power and could take whatever he wanted in Chen Garden, which made him fundamentally different from other people in the garden. How could he achieve true freedom and equality?
This is a paradox!

The reason why Chen Pingping "created" Chen Garden, one of the three major gardens in Qing Kingdom, was just to fulfill Ye Qingmei's wish.

He couldn't make the whole country equal, but he could make a garden a place of equality as Ye Qingmei said, no matter whether it was based on his power or not.
Perhaps after Chen Pingping's death, Chen Yuan will be destroyed in an instant?

Chen Pingping was not as angry as expected when his secrets were discovered. He just fell into some complicated thinking process and became silent.

When the curtains were lowered to block the cold wind, he gently shook his head and said, "His Majesty is not as simple as the Queen thinks. You will definitely not be able to capture His Majesty if you come here alone. If that's the case, then why are you still doing this?"

"Putting yourself in danger, where you might even be surrounded by a large army, is not a wise move!"

Chen Pingping was still unsure of the relationship between the Iron Judge and Queen An. He didn't know for what reason the former worked for Queen An, but he understood one thing: those who could reach the level of a Grandmaster all had extraordinary personalities and would never be completely inferior to others.

Even Ye Liuyun was controlled by His Majesty because of his family.

What’s more, he is the Iron Judge who is alone.

Chen Pingping would not be surprised that Queen An could afford to ask a great master to help, but she could not always afford such a price.
Therefore, his words were meant to persuade Li Ang that it would be safer to let National Master Ku He take action together.

"Emperor Qing has already established contact with the temple. Whether it is mutual use or short-term cooperation, he has always held a lot of bargaining chips."

The vitality of heaven and earth in the carriage seemed to be abundant, and the large amount of true energy that Li An had consumed in destroying the corridor just now was now fully recovered. He looked much better at this moment, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was preparing for battle!

Li An tilted his head slightly, and found it a little funny: "Letting Sean return home and borrowing Fan Xian's glove to ask for information from the temple is just a test. It's not only a test for Fan Xian, but also a test for you and Fan Jian."

Seeing that Chen Pingping finally stopped acting, Ang Lee turned his eyes to the wheelchair under him.

"You don't really think this thing can hurt me, do you? Or do you plan to give Emperor Qing a surprise in person?"

"The empress has a wise eye."

Chen Pingping forced a false smile from his thin purple lips. It was not that he did not believe what Li Ang said, but he was well aware of the power of the shotgun. With such a close distance between them, even if it could not completely kill a guarded grandmaster, it should still have some impact on the other party.

"I know that Your Majesty had no choice but to do this."

"This rain is not a coincidence. Your Majesty intends to delay the departure of the delegation from Beijing. Perhaps it is to prepare for the next war, or more likely to wait for the arrival of the envoys from the temple. Before, Your Majesty had no excuse to use, but after this rain, the return road is muddy and inconvenient for travel, so the delegation can stay for a few more days!"

Li An smiled slightly and praised, "You are very smart and what you said is very accurate! I have to go to the palace this time. After Lang Tao submitted his resignation on behalf of the envoys, Emperor Qing must have been preparing for it."

"If we don't leave now, the delegation will not be able to leave!"

Taking action against the diplomatic envoys is not what a wise ruler would do.

But everything that happened in Nanqing during these days was related to Li Ang, and Emperor Qing had sufficient reasons.

"His target has always been me. Even if he wants to show it to the world, he has to fight me. After all, I am not on the delegation's visiting list. If he can keep me here, he can just give me an excuse afterwards."

Looking directly into Chen Pingping's eyes, Li An said in a deep voice:

"Just like what I did to the people in the Overwatch Council tonight!"

At this time, Li An, wearing a phoenix robe, looked noble and dignified. Just sitting there, people felt like worshipping him in court robes, and dared not show any disrespect or blasphemy.

It seems that the other party is very confident!
Chen Pingping thought to himself.

Could it be that her cultivation was also extraordinary among the Grandmasters? Or did she know that the messenger from the temple would never appear tonight?

Chen Pingping also felt a little moved!
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"wrong!"

Suddenly, Chen Pingping shook his head, his voice becoming inaudible: "Tonight is definitely not the best time to take action!"

"Hahaha, I'm very confused!"

"Aren't you bent on revenge for Ye Qingmei? Logically speaking, no matter who wins or loses, who lives or dies in the fight between me and Emperor Qing, it should be good news for you. Why do you still want to stop me?"

Li Anlang laughed for a while, as if he saw through Chen Pingping's thoughts.

When a person knows another person's ultimate goal and understands the other person's thinking logic, he can easily predict the other person's next action.

Li An nodded slightly, as if feeling a little regretful, and sighed: "It seems that you want a lot!"

Chen Pingping finally smiled and responded in agreement, "I do want a lot. Before Fan Xian left Danzhou, I just wanted to send His Majesty to admit his fault in front of the young lady! But when Fan Xian came to Kyoto, I changed my mind!"

"Nothing is more important than Fan Xian's life!"

"He is the young lady's child, with a kind and mature character. Both his methods and his determination are outstanding. He is another 'Ye Qingmei'!"

"My lady, are you trying to get me to take action tonight?"

Li An shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what the other party meant: "Whether you take action or not is of no importance to me." "Indeed!"

Chen Pingping interrupted, making the atmosphere in the carriage tense, "Foreign ministers are indeed insignificant, but what about Fan Xian? If I act rashly tonight, Fan Xian will definitely be implicated, and the plots and thoughts that have been hidden for many years will also be known to His Majesty."

"By then, regardless of whether Fan Xian knows the truth or not, given His Majesty's suspicious character, his situation will become very dangerous!"

"In the end, I'm afraid you will have no choice but to flee to Northern Qi?"

Talking to such people is exhausting.

Not only will some unnecessary thoughts not be able to be expressed, but one will also be timid in doing things.

"Do you think you really know Fan Xian?"

“Or do you think you know me well?!”

An extremely powerful force suddenly erupted, frightening the horses pulling the carts outside, causing them to neigh and stop.

This aura is not just oppressive and uncomfortable, it also contains a terrifying murderous intent!
"In this world, I am the only one who is of the same kind as Fan Xian!" The anger in Li An's words was a little strange. "If it is not necessary, I don't want to kill him! Keeping him in the court of Nanqing to take over Ye Qingmei's inheritance and to contain and deal with Emperor Qing is just a matter of convenience."

"If he comes to Northern Qi to help me, the world can be unified!"

"The country of Nanqing is now a quagmire. Every day, people are either killing each other or fighting each other. It's like a monkey show. I was born noble and came to the world to enjoy happiness! But what about now? I am involved in your mess all day long and have no time to rest!"

"What? The world won't turn without you guys, right?"

The two men's bodies shook slightly, and the carriage started moving.

Li An sneered: "In my opinion, not only is it good for Ye Qingmei to die, it would be better if all of you died too! When you all disappear, the world will be peaceful, and the people will no longer suffer from war!"

Chen Pingping understood the hidden meaning of Queen An's words very clearly.

Although the disrespect towards the young lady in these words made him angry, he had to admit that if there were no people like Emperor Qing in this world, perhaps the people would suffer less.
When you think about it, the number of people who died on the battlefield is really not worth mentioning.

Far fewer people died in the struggles among the various factions in the court.
"Your Highness, do you think that the world must develop according to your wishes? If that is the case, what is the difference between you, His Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Princess, Prime Minister Lin, the princes, and the foreign ministers?"

Stop being hypocritical!
Don't talk about the common people anymore. After all, they are all the same kind of people!

"You're right, there's no difference."

"However, your minds that only know how to fight each other will only make the world worse; but I will do the exact opposite. While I am trampling this world under my feet, I will also bring it to new heights!"

Regardless of whether Chen Pingping believed it or not, Li An suggested another possibility.

"After meeting you tonight, I understand a lot. It seems that it is impossible to change you. I am just being too sentimental! The reason why you can sit here and talk to me calmly is that you are relying on Wuzhu to protect Fan Xian."

"Chen Pingping, although you seem to be fighting for nothing, you are fighting for everything."

"There are many things in this world that you want to obtain and take care of, but you ignore whether you have the ability to match them. I have something here. I wonder if you are interested?"

"What?" Chen Pingping responded thoughtfully.

"Your own life."

Li An said: "Because it doesn't belong to you anymore!"

The speed of the horses outside the carriage slowly decreased, and the vehicle soon stopped. From here, it was no longer a place that outsiders could easily approach.

The palace has arrived.

Chen Pingping was not a person who valued his life, but he still had unfinished business and did not want to die here so bluntly.

He understood that Li An was really angry, even though this anger came out of nowhere, as if they had manipulated Fan Xian's future, causing Queen An to lose her help and have to work harder. But he still tried to say:

"Your Majesty is so powerful and overbearing, she looks more like an emperor than a queen."

"Originally, I wanted to ask Your Majesty what exactly is inside the Taiping Villa, but after the earth-shaking incident, it seems that now is not the right time."

Chen Pingping bowed in his wheelchair, showing no intention of getting out of the car. He just smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please be careful of danger later. I wish you a victorious return!"

The cooperation between the two was achieved.

But Chen Pingping also made his attitude clear, he would not take action tonight!

Of course, his life now belongs to Li An, and neither side feels that they have suffered a loss, but at the same time, neither side feels that they have gained anything, which is very strange.
The system prompt sounded, but Li An had no intention of checking it at this time.

"Oh, is it dangerous?"

Li An snorted and lifted the car curtain, and said indifferently: "I didn't feel it!"

When the figure with unpredictable emotions and a ferocious look like a beast disappeared from the shaft of the cart, Chen Pingping finally breathed a sigh of relief. He felt as if he had been fished out of the water, with sweat soaking his entire back.

While he was relaxed, he was slightly surprised in his heart. How much of the past did this person know?

How could he know Fan Xian so well?
When there is no conflict in core demands, it would be very troublesome to be an enemy of such a person, as if everything is seen through.

Chen Pingping sat in the wheelchair for a long time without saying a word, just murmured silently: "Are you really a woman?"

As if he had thought of something, he gestured outside the car.

A moment later, the man wearing a mask who had been following the carriage not far away came in front of Chen Pingping. The man from the Overwatch Council who had been sitting outside and driving the carriage for the two of them had lost his life.

"Notify the people who need to be notified and ask them to enter the palace to protect the emperor!"

Under the bewildered gazes of countless palace guards, Li An flew to the top of the tower outside the imperial palace and stood there, looking down at everything from above, like a goddess descending to earth.

Countless people gathered here, pointing their weapons at the figure above, waiting with bated breath.

At this time, guards had already gone deep into the palace to report the news.

Seeing this scene, Li An did not say anything, nor did he stop it. He just took out a brand new outer robe from the system space and put it on. The ten-meter-long skirt trailed outside the city wall. From a distance, it looked like a huge painting, and on the painting was a golden phoenix about to spread its wings and fly high!

His high-profile behavior was to let everyone know that the person who came today was not some uninvited guest, but that...
