Chapter 337
337 Chapter 327-shock in all directions
The night fell and the palace in Shangjing was brightly lit.
Beitang Wangchuan hesitated for a moment when he reached the entrance of yuxiu Palace, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and stepped in.
Yuxiu Palace was a hastily built residence in the palace.
Beitang Zhao had specially built it carelessly. Among the princesses of the great Shang, only Cao Cao would receive such treatment.
greetings, Your Highness. when the maids in yuxiu Palace saw Beitang Wangchuan arrive, they all hurriedly stepped aside and saluted.
“How is Cao Cao now?” Beitang Wangchuan asked softly.
the princess has locked herself in her room and refused to eat dinner. She also doesn’t allow anyone to enter her room, ” the maidservant replied carefully.
Beitang Wangchuan nodded and walked straight to where he was staying.
Cao Cao’s place of residence was a big garden in yuxiu Palace. It was exquisite and there were many small animals in the garden. A few maidservants were guarding outside Cao Cao’s room. When they saw Beitang Wangchuan coming, they quickly saluted. Beitang Wangchuan gently waved his hand and asked the maidservants to leave.
After the maidservant left, Beitang Wangchuan directly pushed open the door and walked in.
The sound of sobbing could be heard from within the room. Beitang Wangchuan followed the sound of sobbing to Cao Cao’s room. He saw Cao Cao lying on the bed, hugging a pillow. Her shoulders were gently shaking, and she was bawling her eyes out.
let’s go out for a walk. I don’t want to eat crickets. Cao Cao also heard the footsteps, but she didn’t turn her head around. She only choked out.
“I have to go out too?” Beitang Wangchuan came to the bedside and said softly.
Upon hearing Beitang Wangchuan’s voice, Cao Cao, who was lying on the bed, turned around and pounced at Beitang Wangchuan, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. She raised her fist and punched Beitang Wangchuan’s chest. it’s all your fault!!! It’s all your fault!!!! If you didn’t make him an inspector, he wouldn’t have been in trouble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking at his sister’s tear-stained face, her eyes swollen like peaches, Beitang Wangchuan’s heart ached a little, and he also felt a little guilty.
Xia Pingan might not be dead, Yingluo, ” Beitang Wangchuan said softly.
This sentence was more effective than a thousand words. However, as soon as he said it, Cao Cao’s crying immediately stopped.
Cao Cao was still sobbing, but she had already stopped crying. She raised her big eyes, which were as swollen as peaches, and stared at Beitang Wangchuan. what did you say? he’s not dead? ”
I’ve already sent the Masters of the judgement Army to investigate the scene. There’s no trace of his body at all.
“Didn’t they say that the assassin used black fiend poison?” Her sobs stopped a little.
this is also what I’m puzzled about. The appearance of the black evil poison is too coincidental. It has completely wiped out all traces of the corpses. Looking at the traces at the scene, the assassin should be the same person who tried to assassinate Xia Pingan in the Duke of Zhou tower. Just think about it. With Xia Pingan’s shrewdness and power, would he fall into the same pit twice? Furthermore, Xia ping ‘an was assassinated twice at the gate of the building of Duke Zhou and the gate of the supervision Department. The dream demon is nowhere to be found. Is he not on guard at all?”
Cao Cao’s eyes flickered as she suddenly recalled the scene of Xia Pingan escorting her away from peach blossom bridge before the danger arrived.
That’s right. Xia ping ‘an was such a smart and powerful person. He could even predict the arrival of danger in advance. It was impossible for him to fall into the same trap twice, no, four times. The assassin who tried to assassinate him had already tried to assassinate him once before. Furthermore, Xia ping’ an had also been assassinated at the entrance of the inspection department.
The same place, the same killer, could it be that Xia ping ‘an really didn’t have any precautions?
Seeing Cao Cao’s thoughtful expression, Beitang Wangchuan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He continued to softly advise his sister, ” there’s one more thing. According to the Donggang inspection department, Xia Pingan had an iron-masked bodyguard with him. That iron-masked bodyguard was very powerful, but he was sent out by Xia Pingan yesterday. It was clear that he could be assassinated at any time, but Xia Pingan didn’t have a single bodyguard by his side. This doesn’t make sense, I see.
“Then why did he want ran ran to do that?” Cao Cao seemed to have been convinced, or rather, Cao Cao chose to believe in such a happy ending.
“Do you know about the incident at the red leaf villa?”
“I know, Zhenzhen.”
the incident at the red leaf Manor was discovered by Xia Pingan and his shadow guards. Xia Pingan sent his iron-faced bodyguards away yesterday and brought his men to destroy the red leaf Manor last night. He was the one who exposed the incident at the red leaf Manor and was the greatest hero, Qianqian.
Cao Cao looked at Beitang Wangchuan in shock. She really didn’t know about this.
Beitang Wangchuan continued, ” right now, everyone in Shangjing is saying that it was inspector Xia who brought his men to save those children from the Devil’s Den. Furthermore, this news first came from the adjudicator Army and the garrison troops who were involved in the red leaf villa incident. You know, the red leaf villa incident has too many implications. Father wants to kill many, many people. That night at the red leaf villa, it was also Xia Pingan who revealed the key evidence in front of the adjudicator Army and the garrison troops, forcing Lin Yi to abdicate in public. After doing all this, he was assassinated at the gate of the inspection department the next morning. Don’t you think there are too many coincidences?”
Cao Cao had always been intelligent. After Beitang Wangchuan’s reminder, Cao Cao also felt that there were many suspicious points in this matter. It was not like Xia Pingan’s style.
“Then why did he do that?”
“The red leaf villa incident has too many implications. He caused such an incident and forced Lin Yi to abdicate. He has already made countless enemies in Shangjing’s officialdom. There are countless people who want him dead. If it were me, I wouldn’t choose to continue staying in Shangjing city.”
“But Yingluo, Yingluo, why is he Yingluo?”
damn, there’s one more thing I haven’t told you. Xia Pingan is a space doner and has his own mission. Moreover, he’s being hunted down by the blood demon church. I think it’s a wise choice for him to escape with his life and leave Shangjing city under such circumstances! Although there’s no evidence to prove that he faked his death, I believe in my judgment. It’s enough for you to know about this, but don’t publicize it. ”
She stopped sobbing and gradually believed Beitang Wangchuan’s deduction, but she was also lost. She looked outside blankly and murmured to herself,”did he just leave like that?” As she said that, tears started to fall from her eyes.
Cao Cao actually hoped that Xia ping ‘an would just leave like this, but she was really afraid that Xia ping’ an would just leave like this. The young girl’s heart was tangled and depressed, and it was difficult to describe her feelings.
Beitang Wangchuan sighed in his heart as he looked at Xia Pingan’s hasty expression. by the way, the adjudicators found something in Xia Pingan’s office.
“What is it?” Cao Cao suddenly became alert.
I found this in Xia Pingan’s office. I’ll get it for you to take a look at Yingluo, ” Beitang Wangchuan said. With a move of his hand, he took out a painting and handed it to Cao Cao.
He hastily took the painting scroll and directly unfolded it on the table.
In the portrait, under the moonlight, a woman with beautiful features lifted her dress and climbed up the stairs to the wall. She twisted the sheets into a rope and hung it down the wall, trying to climb over. Under this wall, Xia Pingan raised her head helplessly and looked at the ” female thief ” Yingluo, who was trying to climb over the wall.
The painting was so vivid that it vividly presented the scene at that time, especially Cao Cao. In a blue long dress, Cao Cao’s eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting; his skin was as fair as porcelain; his lips were as tender as flower petals; his nose bridge was high; his eyes were like limpid autumn waters with quivering light; his eyes looked a bit naughty and stubborn; even Cao Cao’s hair could be clearly seen as if he was alive.
Xia Pingan, on the other hand, was standing under the courtyard wall with one hand raised. The expression on her face was a little strange. It was not the shock of seeing someone climbing the wall, but a smile with hope and blessings. Her raised hand looked like she was going to catch the woman who could fall off the wall at any time. It looked like she was talking to the woman who was climbing the wall, but it also looked like she was waving goodbye.
At that time, Xia Pingan did not raise his hand when he was under the wall. He was saying goodbye to himself. Looking at Xia Pingan in the painting, he suddenly understood, and tears gushed out again.
this painting skill is superb. No painter in the entire Shangjing and the great Shang can draw such a painting. I don’t know who drew it either. Look at the woman’s hair in this painting. It needs to be drawn carefully one by one. Between the shades of the ink and shadow, the strength of the brush and the mind are integrated into one. Only then can this painting reach the peak of painting. However, the name of this painting is not serious. It’s clearly a fairy who has descended to the mortal world, but the painter said it was a female cat burglar. How despicable, ” Beitang Wangchuan commented seriously.
The name of this painting was “the female cat burglar under the moonlight.”
Looking at the name on the painting, Cao Cao felt as if she was seeing Xia Pingan winking at her. Cao Cao, who was crying, burst into laughter, like a Hundred Flowers blooming, but in the blink of an eye, she cried again.
Beitang Wangchuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Cao crying and laughing at the same time, completely walking out of her sorrow. However, when he saw Cao Cao’s expression, Beitang Wangchuan also sighed in his heart. This time, not only did Xia Pingan run away, but he also took away Cao Cao’s soul. Damn it!
you don’t want this painting. I think the woman in the painting looks a little like you, so I brought it to you. If you don’t want it, I’ll throw it away! Beitang Wangchuan said in all seriousness, pretending to go and get the painting.
“What do you want to do? this is mine!” Cao Cao quickly wiped away her tears and glared fiercely at Beitang Wangchuan with her peach-like eyes, like a tiger protecting its food. She began to push Beitang Wangchuan away towards the door with both hands. get out, get out, get out. This is my room. I haven’t let you in yet. You’re the Crown Prince. How can you just barge into a girl’s room? ”
Beitang Wangchuan was immediately pushed out of the room by Cao Cao. It was not until Cao Cao ruthlessly closed the door with a bang that a smile appeared on his face.
He had only taken a few steps when Beitang Wangchuan suddenly frowned. His eyes turned cold as he looked at the sky, his face filled with shock.
A powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped the entire Shangjing city. In an instant, the entire sky of Shangjing city seemed to be burning, revealing a rolling sea of blood that was about to collapse at any time.
The nation-protecting formation of Shangjing city, which had not been activated for hundreds of years, was activated in an instant.
Massive golden pillars of light, coiled by giant Dragons, rose from the four directions of the upper city and the Imperial City with a boom. They pierced the night sky and resisted the churning sea of blood.
In a split second, the sky of Shangjing city within 600 miles was covered with twisting and flashing colorful auroras. Among the twisting light and shadows, there were dense battle formations of battle soldiers and puppets. Standing in the clouds, they looked like dragons and phoenixes. Millions of battle soldiers and puppets were in the sky, which looked ethereal and real as if they could walk out at any time.
The blood-red battle formation and the Golden battle formation confronted each other in the sky. A huge pressure that could destroy the world came from the sky. All of a sudden, the summoners in the entire Shangjing city could not breathe. They felt like ants in the face of a collapsing mountain.
The entire Shangjing city was shaking, and there was a commotion in the palace.
Then, Beitang Wangchuan heard his father’s angry voice in the palace, ” the bloody demon church is so bold. Do they really think that there is no one in the great Shang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a ray of light shot up from the Imperial Palace. The Emperor of the great Shang, bei tangzhao, was already standing in the void, looking at the uninvited guest from afar.
bei tangzhao, hand Xia Pingan over and let me take him away. Otherwise, my blood demon church will immediately declare war on the great Shang kingdom. The entire great Shang kingdom will be buried with Xia Pingan! A loud rumbling sound exploded in the sky, shaking the entire Shangjing city.
