The answer is obvious.

Fan Xian let out a long sigh. He had obviously figured out the reason why Chen Pingping did this.

"Does Your Majesty know?"

Now that Fan Xian has entered the officialdom, he is well aware of the risks that Chen Pingping is taking.

The first thing that came to his mind was Emperor Qing’s attitude?

The situation of Qing State, and the success or failure of the ministers of Qing State...

Emperor Qing's attitude undoubtedly occupies an important position.

Especially for a position like the Chief Inspector, Emperor Qing would not allow any problems to occur.

"Our Majesty is very thoughtful."

Fan Bin has been thinking about breaking through the realm, and Fan Xian has been trapped in Jiangnan recently. Their main energy is not focused on the intelligence of Dadong Mountain...

Even if they heard some warriors talking about this topic and showing their enthusiasm for the Dadongshan event, they would not think much about it.

After all, the popularity of this matter was ridiculously high. Even without Fan Sizhe's promotion, there would still be a lot of people.

It was not until they approached Dadong Mountain and saw that the number of warriors was far beyond their imagination that the two men realized that someone was secretly fanning the flames.

When Fan Sizhe spoke, they finally understood the whole story. It turned out that the one who secretly instigated all this was none other than the third son of their old Fan family.

But Emperor Qing is different.

Even though Fan Bin and Fan Xian didn't notice it, Emperor Qing certainly did. The Dadongshan event was planned by Fan Bin, and the organizer was Fan Sizhe.

How could Emperor Qing not investigate if he wanted to attend such a grand event?
As long as he investigates, this matter cannot be hidden from him.

"Dean Chen, I'm afraid there's trouble!"

Fan Sizhe is no longer the same person he was before. He quickly figured out the consequences of Chen Pingping suppressing the news.

"There's no reason why Dean Chen couldn't think of this."

Emperor Qing has more than one channel of information.

Fan Xian thought that Chen Pingping deliberately concealed this news, probably for some other purpose.

Emperor Qing asked Chen Pingping to investigate the intelligence at this time, which obviously meant to warn him...

"If my guess is correct, Dean Chen is probably putting pressure on His Majesty."

Fan Xian smiled bitterly.

Fan Xian had always been reluctant to face this problem, even though he knew that Emperor Qing's devotion to him was not entirely sincere.

But Emperor Qing is his biological father after all.

His own father was at war with the entire Fan family.

Now even the Dean of the Censorate is using this method to put pressure on Emperor Qing.

Fan Xian suddenly felt that his biological father seemed a little pitiful.

Not only was he deserted by his friends and relatives, but he was also surrounded by dangers.

"Pressure? Isn't Dean Chen afraid of His Majesty's wrath?"

Fan Sizhe found it hard to understand.

From Fan Sizhe's perspective, apart from their Fan family, there should be no one else who dares to go against Emperor Qing.

"Humph, the current Qing Kingdom is no longer under the control of His Majesty alone."

Fan Xian shook his head.

He has begun to enter the power center of Qing Kingdom. Although he is very young, he can already see through some of the truth inside.

Today, the Qing Kingdom as a whole has been divided into three factions, one of which is the royal family and the royalists.

This group of people is the largest.

But there are also some who have already defected to the Fan family and become their minions.

There are tiger guards and secret guards inside, and generals promoted by Fan Bin in the Gyeongbuk Army outside. Although there are not many of them, they are either powerful or occupy important positions.

Definitely not to be underestimated.

In addition, during this period, many civil officials secretly extended olive branches to the Fan family.

On the surface, Kyoto was peaceful, but now the situation had changed. The two sides fought back and forth for several rounds, but neither side won.

Emperor Qing and his royalist party have a large number of people and great power.

But the royalists were divided into four small factions. The crown prince, the second prince and the eldest princess all had their own little thoughts.

They didn't want to see Emperor Qing completely suppress the Fan family. With them holding him back, even if Emperor Qing wanted to do something, it wouldn't be as easy as before.

At this time, the sharpest weapon in Emperor Qing's hand is the Inspection Institute. And the one who can fully control the Inspection Institute is precisely the director of the Inspection Institute, Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping's disobedience at this time would undoubtedly increase Emperor Chongqing's suspicion.

Especially the relationship between Chen Pingping and the Fan family will make Emperor Qing suspicious.

But he couldn't rashly replace Chen Pingping.

Otherwise, what if Chen Pingping switches sides and joins Fan Bin?
Not to mention, there are many fence-sitters in the court, and their power should not be underestimated.

For example, the Grand Master Ye family, the military Qin family, the Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, etc...

Before the end of the Dadongshan event, it would be difficult for Emperor Qing to concentrate on solving this problem, let alone directly depose Chen Pingping.

"When did our Majesty become so pitiful?"

After hearing Fan Xian's analysis, there is no need to talk about Fan Xian, the son.

Even Fan Sizhe couldn't help but frown. When did Emperor Qing, who once had all the power in the world, become a poor little thing?

The entire Qing Kingdom seemed to have completely slipped out of his control.

"It's not that simple. It's because your Majesty is so powerful that others have to secretly unite to target your Majesty. Once your Majesty takes a step back, the situation will change."

Fan Bin began to analyze.

He thought that Emperor Qing must understand this principle.

Therefore, Emperor Qing would not show too much strength at this time and would not take out all his trump cards.

You should know that in addition to the Tiger Guards, Emperor Qing also specially trained a group of people and modified them with powerful crossbows. The purpose is to let them deal with the Grand Master or the Temple Messenger...

Now, those people have not shown up yet.

Their absence meant that Emperor Qing had concealed their existence. In other words, Emperor Qing was hiding his edge.

Temporary hiding is for a better comeback.

When Emperor Qing showed his claws again, he would think that the situation was settled.

Just as Fan Xian and Fan Bin guessed.

Emperor Qing was angry, but he didn't really do anything to Chen Pingping. He just scolded him.

After Chen Pingping came out of Emperor Qing's carriage, Fan Xian found an opportunity to approach her and asked quietly.

"Why did you do that?"

Although the three brothers already had a guess, Fan Xian still wanted to hear Chen Pingping's answer in person.

"Is your eldest brother ready to take action at Dadong Mountain?"

With two great masters nearby, Chen Pingping asked the question bluntly.

No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like the shrewd director of the Inspection Institute.

He seemed certain that Fan Bin would take action in secret to prevent Emperor Qing from eavesdropping.

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, but finally nodded.

Fan Xian couldn't explain why, but he just didn't want to deceive the old man in front of him.

Chen Pingping stroked his broken leg with a faint smile on his face: "Your Majesty is the same. Although I can't guess what Your Majesty has prepared, but based on my understanding of Your Majesty over the years, he must have prepared something."

Emperor Qing is too obedient.

Emperor Qing even tolerated Chen Pingping's obvious concealment.

If it were in the past, even if Emperor Qing didn't kill Chen Pingping, he would definitely remove Chen Pingping from the position of the Dean of Inspection. Emperor Qing would never use such an unfaithful servant!

Chen Pingping knew this very well.

Precisely because he knew it so clearly, he could clearly feel that Emperor Qing had started the arrangements he had made more than ten years ago.

It was the same at that time. Judging from Emperor Qing’s performance alone, he was wholeheartedly looking forward to the arrival of his son.

Who could have imagined that it was Emperor Qing who secretly arranged everything and murdered the woman who helped him ascend the throne.

Now, Fan Bin poses a greater threat.

Not only that, Fan Bin’s help to Emperor Qing and the entire Qing Kingdom was not as good as that of the mysterious woman.

How could Emperor Qing tolerate the existence of such a person?
Fan Xian got the news from Chen Pingping and immediately passed it to Fan Bin.

"Tell His Majesty this, too!"

After hearing the news, Fan Bin asked Fan Xian to tell Emperor Qing.

"what?"

A trace of confusion appeared on Fan Xian's face.

"Although I am 90% sure that I can survive this crisis. Even if I can't win, I won't lose. But I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm afraid of one. If I lose, father, grandmother, Ruoruo, Sizhe, and Aunt Liu will be in your hands."

"Big brother?"

The first time Fan Xian heard Fan Bin say such words, his face was full of disbelief.

Is this trip to Dadong Mountain really that dangerous?
"I don't know either. There are too many people playing chess, and everyone has their own plans. I can't tell how the situation will change."

The letter from the princess made Fan Bin realize clearly that there were definitely many people secretly plotting against Dadongshan.

No matter how confident Fan Bin is, he still has to be prepared for the worst.

"Brother, please don't say that. If even you can't do that..."

"Although I am confident in my ability, I am not omnipotent. If one day, things really reach a point where it is irreversible, you can take off the black cloth on Uncle Wuzhu's eyes. Remember not to let those eyes look directly at you."

"Hmm? Brother, do you know something?"

Fan Bin's direction is too obvious.

From what he said, everything can be solved once Uncle Wu Zhu shows his eyes.

This was difficult for Fan Xian to understand.

He was well aware of Wuzhu's power.

But judging from their previous battle against the temple messenger, Fan Bin at this time is probably stronger than Wu Zhu, right?
"Just listen to me."

Although Fan Bin warned Fan Xian like this, deep down, he certainly didn't think things would really develop to that point.

After hearing Fan Bin's instructions, Fan Xian ran to Emperor Qing again and repeated all the words verbatim.

Emperor Qing’s eyes were deep.

Although the Fan Xian in front of him was his own flesh and blood, the son born to the woman he loved most.

But Emperor Qing did not completely trust Fan Xian.

This is something that is afraid of comparison...

Compared to the Second Prince who is now deliberately opposing him, and the Crown Prince who has ulterior motives.

Fan Xian is much stronger.

Fan Bin and Fan Xian grew up together. Fan Bin is also a grandmaster like Emperor Qing, and is younger.

For this reason, many people in Qing Kingdom believed that Fan Bin's strength was above that of Emperor Qing.

Fan Bin is the strongest grandmaster in Qing Kingdom, and even in the world.

Not only the generals in the military system, but also many civil servants in the court secretly defected to the Fan family.

They took Emperor Qing's tolerance as his fear and incompetence.

In comparison, Fan Xian has the most reason to do so.

In this big gamble between Emperor Qing and Fan Bin, if Fan Bin wins in the end, Fan Xian has a good chance of becoming the emperor.

Under such circumstances, Fan Xian still chose to inform him.

"Good boy!"

Whether it's out of guilt or calculation.

Emperor Qing highly praised Fan Xian's performance.

"Your Majesty, if there is anything I can do for you, just tell me."

Act in full set.

Fan Xian felt like he was worthy of an Oscar.

"You don't need to do anything. If I lose this battle, just live well and don't think about revenge!"

Emperor Qing’s idea is very simple.

With Fan Xian around, even if Fan Bin won, he would not cause greater unrest.

Fan Bin will also support Fan Xian to ascend the throne.

At that time, the throne of the emperor still belonged to their Li family.

They won’t lose.

Out of caution, Fan Bin kept Fan Xian as his backup.

Emperor Qing had exactly the same idea. From this point of view, he and Fan Bin had the same idea.

He was also not sure of winning, so he simply made preparations for both situations.

If one hand fails, the other will immediately follow.

With both parties having made up their minds, the group headed towards Dadong Mountain in a mighty procession.

There are many good players in the world, but very few fools.

Seeing Emperor Fan Binqing and his convoy, these people took the initiative to retreat and did not dare to offend.

Although they did not dare to offend Emperor Qing and Fan Bin, the two of them did not stop observing these martial arts figures.

This event was a huge success by chance.

Some hidden old monsters came out one after another, many of them were contemporaries of Ye Liuyun and Ku He.

His strength has reached the peak of the ninth level and he is only one step away from breaking through to become a grandmaster.

However, this step is like a huge chasm.

Even if they spend their entire lives trying, they won't be able to make any progress.

In addition to these veteran ninth-grade masters, there are also many young up-and-coming talents, such as Wang Shisanlang, who was as famous as the Daqing God of War Fan Bin, and Haitang Duoduo, the Saintess of Northern Qi.

They all came too.

In addition to these famous ninth-rank masters, there are also some very talented and young seventh- and eighth-rank masters.

It can be seen that they are extremely talented, but they have never received guidance from famous teachers, so they are stuck there and have been unable to make further progress.

This is the kind of talent Tongtian College needs most when recruiting students.

Along the way, they saw at least 70 or 80 geniuses like this...

Fan Bin, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly had a feeling.

All the talented people in the world are in his pocket!
As long as Fan Bin can control Tongtian College, as long as all these proud children are his disciples.

Then he can control the world.

Not far away from Fan Bin, Emperor Qing also showed the same look in his eyes.

At the same time, a flash of murderous intent flashed across Emperor Qing's eyes.
