Chapter 129 Chen Pingping's Request to Assassinate Emperor Qing (Two in One)
Fan Sizhe was busy building Tongtian Academy.
Fan Bin had only one request for him, that the college must be built solidly.
"Luxury is not important, and even convenience is not that important. The most important thing is sturdiness. The Tiger Guard Training Camp is too flimsy, so it has to be rebuilt every year."
Fan Bin has always had strong opinions about this.
Even though he knew that Fan Jian did it on purpose, he still said it out loud.
"Don't be too serious. When you have reached the seventh or eighth level of strength, you can break even rocks with one punch. How can we get so many good materials to build them..."
Fan Jian indeed spoke.
But Fan Bin ignored his father's opinion. He still instructed Fan Sizhe to find good materials as much as possible.
"Isn't the smelting technology in the inner warehouse capable of producing steel? If that doesn't work, you can just find some granite and cover it with steel."
When Fan Sizhe heard Fan Bin’s request, his eyes widened.
"Brother, even if you want to squander the family fortune, you can't do it this way. Do you know how expensive the things smelted in the inner treasury are? Do you know how much a cubic meter of granite costs? You just ask for it. If we really follow the standard you mentioned, by the time this Tongtian Academy is built, your brothers' blood will have been sold out..."
After saying that, Fan Sizhe waved his hand impatiently and left.
Obviously, he didn't want to listen to the opinions of either of these two gentlemen.
Fan Jian was a little embarrassed, but luckily he was thick-skinned, so he stroked his beard and pretended to be calm.
"Did you encounter any difficulties in the Inspection Institute?"
Fan Jian, oblivious to the people around him, began to care about Fan Xian.
"It's not bad. The brothers in the first place are in a state of disarray due to Zhuge's departure. I used some tough measures and they became obedient. I also found a helper in the first place..."
After saying this, Fan Xian turned his gaze to Fan Bin.
"But last night, the dean came to see me."
When Fan Bin heard the news about Chen Pingping, he frowned before he even opened his mouth to ask.
"What does that old cripple want to do now?"
One of Fan Jian's sons was already in the Inspection Office. Why did Chen Pingping want to seduce his proud eldest son?
This made Fan Jian extremely angry.
He didn't even spare any shame and directly called out Chen Pingping's nickname.
Chen the Cripple.
"The dean only said that he had an agreement with the eldest brother."
Fan Bin nodded and acknowledged this.
He did have an agreement with Chen Pingping before, and he entrusted Chen Pingping to help him find the cultivation methods of the four great masters.
Originally, Fan Bin thought that even if Dean Chen was extremely omnipotent, it would be a blessing for him to get one or two of the four cultivation methods.
You must know that the four grand masters are very strict about their own methods of cultivation.
It is not allowed to spread outside.
But Chen Pingping placed three of them in front of Fan Bin.
It was also with the help of those cultivation methods that Fan Bin was able to make the leap to become a grandmaster.
According to the agreement between him and Chen Pingping, Fan Bin still needs to help Chen Pingping once.
"Okay, go back and tell Dean Chen that I will visit him tomorrow at noon."
Fan Bin only said the time, not the place.
How smart are Fan Jian and Fan Xian?
They both looked up and looked at Fan Bin in disbelief.
What Fan Bin meant was that no matter where Chen Pingping was at that time, he would show up.
You know, the person Fan Bin wants to meet is the director of the Inspection Institute.
"Boss, you?"
Fan Xian was young after all, and asked impatiently.
"Don't make a fuss. As long as the person is in Kyoto, I can find him."
"no matter who?"
"no matter who."
The father and his two sons parted ways, and Fan Xian and Fan Jian left Fan Bin's room.
The two looked at each other outside the door.
They both saw the incredible in each other's eyes.
"Grandmaster, you are really not a human being!!"
Of course, they didn't mean to scold Fan Bin, this was just their true feelings.
When one's strength evolves to that of a Grand Master, changes occur in all aspects.
"I wonder how much humanity is left in your brother?"
Fan Jian was a little worried.
"I don't see how big brother is any different. He just has different pursuits from us."
Fan Xian grew up with Fan Bin, and he has the soul of an adult.
Who in this world knows Fan Bin best?
Without a doubt, it must be Fan Xian.
He didn't think Fan Bin had become any different. Fan Bin was still following his own ideas and pursuing what he wanted.
On the contrary, Fan Xian himself was a little impatient and wanted to break through to the grandmaster level.
Even after he broke through to become a grandmaster, he was still not as good as his elder brother.
But Fan Xian's heart was still full of desire.
Fan Xian firmly believes that one day in the future he will truly become a grandmaster.
He will definitely see a different scenery.
Without actually witnessing the demeanor of a grandmaster, Fan Xian might have thought that the ninth rank was already pretty good.
In fact, when a warrior breaks through to the ninth level, he is reborn.
For a powerful ninth-grade warrior, fighting one against a hundred, even fighting one against a thousand is no problem at all.
This kind of character is basically beyond people's imagination.
But this kind of person, if compared with a real grand master.
They are still nothing...
The Grand Master is the true saint.
Fan Xian even had a vague feeling that only by breaking through to the Grandmaster level could he truly understand the meaning of cultivation.
Time flies quickly. A day is gone in the blink of an eye.
When Fan Xian took up his post at the Inspection Institute, he went straight to Chen Pingping and repeated what Fan Bin had said.
"Noon?"
Chen Pingping just repeated one sentence and said nothing more.
After Fan Xian left, he ordered the people around him not to approach him.
Shadow was responsible for pushing Chen Pingping into the secret room.
"Do you want me to stay?"
When pushing Chen Pingping into the secret room, Shadow took the initiative to ask.
"What's the point of you staying? Can you beat him?"
The masked shadow paused noticeably.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Pingping heard the sound of grinding teeth.
"Of course I can't beat him!"
Although Shadow had held Fan Bin in his arms when he was still a child, he had also helped test Fan Bin's martial arts aptitude.
Although they didn't have much contact, Shadow watched Fan Bin grow up step by step.
In the past decade or so, he could have killed Fan Bin with a slap most of the time.
But when Fan Bin returned to Kyoto, the situation was reversed.
The ninth-rank Fan Bin was no less powerful than Shadow. In the later stages, Shadow couldn't even take on Fan Bin's ten moves.
From then on, Shadow never fought with Fan Bin again.
Today, Fan Bin has been promoted to the fifth grandmaster in the world.
Yingzi even suspected that Fan Bin could press him so hard that he couldn't breathe with just his little finger.
"Then what's the point of you staying here? Are you going to be buried with me when he turns against you?"
Chen Pingping exposed it bluntly.
"Humph."
Shadows also have tempers, how can they tolerate such insults?
The wheelchair was pushed forward, and Shadow turned and left. As Shadow left, the stone doors behind him closed one by one.
The secret room of the Inspection Institute was designed with the help of Ye Qingmei.
Once the door of the secret room is closed, there is no other connection to the outside world except the air outlet.
"How are you going to show up?"
Chen Pingping muttered softly.
There is still a full hour until noon.
Chen Pingping closed his eyes and rested for a while.
When he opened his eyes again, he stared at the wall in a trance, as if he wanted to see something through the wall.
Time slipped away little by little, and it was almost noon.
But Fan Bin never showed up.
Chen Pingping didn't hear any sound.
Before I knew it, it was noon.
Nothing around Chen Pingping changed.
But Chen Pingping seemed to have a premonition of something. He turned the wheels of the wheelchair with his hands and turned behind him.
A handsome young man dressed in white was standing behind him.
Fan Bin's appearance was the type that became more stylish the more you looked at him. When Fan Bin was promoted to Grandmaster, he still exuded a certain mysterious aura.
This kind of aura has a strong attraction not only to humans, but also to any sentient creature.
Even Chen Pingping, who had a heart as strong as a rock, was stunned for a moment.
After a while, Chen Pingping regained consciousness. He smiled bitterly and said, "Are we ordinary people overestimating our own abilities? We actually want to embarrass the Grand Master?"
I don't know when the stone door was opened?
Chen Pingping didn't notice anything wrong and didn't hear any movement.
Although he didn't know how Fan Bin did it?
But Chen Pingping understood.
Fan Bin did this for only one purpose.
That is to show Chen Pingping that she doesn't need to worry.
The conversation between the two of them will never be known to any third person.
Even if the opponent is a grandmaster, it won’t work.
"President Chen, you are too polite. You are my elder after all, and you have done me a favor. If you need me to do anything, just tell me..."
Chen Pingping turned around in shock, holding the wheelchair button tightly with both hands.
Others don’t know, what is Chen Pingping’s trump card?
Fan Bin was very clear about it.
At this distance, what kind of power will his two shotguns unleash?
Fan Bin was also very curious.
But unfortunately, Chen Pingping obviously did not intend to waste these two shotguns on Fan Bin.
Naturally, Fan Bin had no choice but to test the power of these two shotguns himself?
"You are really quick-witted. You are completely different from your father."
Compared with Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, Fan Jian may be a little bit inferior.
But in essence, he is definitely an old fox.
They had clearly avenged Ye Qingmei for what happened back then.
All motives and all chains of evidence are complete.
But Chen Pingping and Fan Jian still intuitively believed that there was a bigger black hand hiding behind the scenes.
And they had a very good tacit understanding, and no one revealed it to anyone else.
It was really hard for Chen Pingping to imagine that, with a personality like Fan Bin, how could he be Fan Jian's son?
On the contrary, Fan Xian looks more like Fan Jian.
"Do you know the Hanging Temple?"
Chen Pingping didn't beat around the bush, but went straight to the point.
Fan Bin was stunned.
Of course he knew about the Hanging Temple.
And in Fan Bin’s plan, the Hanging Temple is also a very important part.
However, Fan Bin originally thought that the matter of the Hanging Temple would have to wait for a while.
Although many years have passed, Fan Bin's memory is no longer so clear.
But he still vaguely remembered that the assassination at the Hanging Temple took place after Ke Ju and Fan Xian's wedding.
In the meantime, Fan Xian will stir up some trouble in the court.
It seems like there will still be some time before we can enjoy the chrysanthemums at the Hanging Temple...
Fan Bin was afraid of being unsafe, so he specifically asked about the date for chrysanthemum viewing.
According to the date set in previous years, it is still more than two months away.
I didn't expect that Chen Pingping would start making arrangements in such a hurry?
"Isn't the Hanging Temple's grand event still two months away?"
"It's moved up this year, and the date is set for ten days from now. His Majesty has just finalized it with his word. It's said that the Imperial Guards will start making arrangements soon."
Chen Pingping said slowly.
He knew that Fan Bin had spies in the Imperial Guards.
However, at this time, Fan Bin had just returned to Daqing and was promoted to the Duke of Protecting the Country. Even if it was to avoid suspicion, the two sides would not contact each other frequently.
Not to mention, small things like admiring chrysanthemums in the Hanging Temple.
It seemed that the Fan family had no important relationship with them, so the imperial guards would naturally not tip them off.
"What does Dean Chen want me to do?"
Although he had already guessed the answer in his mind, Fan Bin still asked.
"I want you to assassinate His Majesty on that day!"
When Chen Pingping said this, Fan Bin's acting skills suddenly soared to the level of a best actor.
"you……"
He pointed at Chen Pingping, his face full of disbelief.
"Fan didn't expect that the director of the Inspection Institute, who is said to be loyal to His Majesty, would actually have such a wolfish ambition? How come the director has already defected to the crown prince?"
Because of the strong rise of the Fan family, and the unclear relationship between Fan Bin and the second prince.
Many people believed that even if the Fan family did not publicly support the Second Prince, they must be biased towards him in their hearts. The position of the Crown Prince was not so stable.
But in fact, the prince is not as simple as everyone sees.
If Emperor Qing really died at this time, there is a great possibility that he would successfully succeed to the throne.
Unless the Fan family really openly supports the second prince.
Otherwise, once Emperor Qing dies, the Crown Prince will be the biggest winner.
Chen Pingping looked up and watched Fan Bin's performance with a smile.
Even at this time, Fan Bin had already advanced to the Grandmaster level. He could kill Chen Pingping with just one slap.
But Fan Bin still didn't dare to underestimate Chen Pingping.
"President Chen, although you and I have an agreement, I cannot comply with your order on this matter."
Fan Bin turned around and was about to leave.
It was not until this time that Chen Pingping spoke again.
"If I tell you that our Majesty is the most mysterious Grand Master, what would you think?"
Although Fan Bin already knew this result.
But when he heard Chen Pingping say this, Fan Bin was still shocked.
In his memory, Chen Pingping should not know this secret at that time?
"The current Grand Masters are all inseparable from that person. It was that person who brought three secret books. These secret books were given to Ku He, Si Gu Jian, and our Majesty..."
"I was just guessing at first, but when I saw your attitude towards Hong Sixiang and your attitude towards His Majesty, I became more certain of my thoughts. It was His Majesty who got the secret book back then, and it is also His Majesty who has become the Grand Master now."
Chen Pingping said in a decisive tone.
"Even if it is, so what?"
"I don't want you to really kill His Majesty. I just want you to take action and test the strength of our Majesty."
Chen Pingping continued to persuade.
Fan Bin was silent.
"After this is done, I'll tell you a secret, how about that?"
"No need, this is just the first time, it won't happen again."
