One of Yan Bingyun's hands was broken and hung uselessly by his waistHe looked at the Eldest PrincessHis gaze appeared dimThe pain in his chest let hiiven him internal injuriesThe aces beside the Eldest princess were not people hom he could contend

At this uard depart spears pointed at Xiao YanOf the aces beside the Eldest Princess, two of the sharp blades in their hands, they gave off a death-like smell that enveloped him

If only the Emperor had listened to An Zhi and swept out the entire Junshang Conference before he diedThis thought came involuntarily into his hu acesHe didn't entertain any farfetched hopes that the heavens would give him a chance to escapeHe only stood with a heavy expression and drew so from inside his clothes

It was a signal arrowSince there was a rebellion at the city gate depart Ruochen in the Palace before he died

Yan Bingyun's index finger caught on the ring of the signal arrowLooking at the two black sword shadows that came closer and closer, his pupils constrictedHe spat out a ether and pulling with force

With a puff, the signal arrow lit upIt didn't rise into the airA shtly war his heart trenal arro out but didn't fly farIt shot into the chest of a city gate soldier and exploded slightly

Yan Bingyun didn't lower his headSlanting his gaze, he saw fresh blood pouring out of his hand

When his index finger extended into the ring, a terrifying expression appeared in the eyes of the Junshang Conference ace closes to hiThen, a thin line of blood appeared on the ace's neck

The bloody line extended in an instant and becae bloody woundOne could see his white throat bones, the extreled flesh

With a click, the ace stopped in front of Yan Bingyun and knelt doith a crashWith the powerful crash, his half-sawed through neck could not support his headWith his vertebrae as the center of his head, he fell backward uselessly

The upside-dohite face of the deadat the Eldest Princess and Zhang Deqing, ere protected behind layers of aces and soldiers

The fresh blood sprouted like a fountain froyun's hand and covered his entire hand in bright redIt also just happened to stop the signal arrow fro into the sky

The other ace of the Junshang Conference that charged forward faced an even yunHis eyes only caught a faint shadow cast by the torches passing in front of him and felt a coldness at his throat

A delicate and unreflective sword cahtWith unusual steadiness and h his neck and extended out the other side

With a splutter, the tip of the swordforward and then iThe zhenqi and life in the ace left his body as the sword left his neckHis eyes were open like dead fishHis hand tried to cover his neck, but he found that he was already no longer able to control any muscle in his body

His legs turned to water as his vision diourd, he rolled across the ground, past Yan Bingyun's frozen body, and only stopped when he hit the tall threshold of the hall

The sThe stench of rust also emanated from his body

A sword that seemed to have reached out fro Conference with terrifying skillNo one had realized what had happenedEven Yan Bingyun, who had been rescued, had no idea what had happened and stood where he was in shock

Then, he felt his body becohtIn the next moment, he had been lifted by the neck by a black shadow and was flying above the hallFollowing the shadows below the lofty city walls, they headed toward the darkness in Jingdou

The darkness before daas particularly thick

In the eyes of the people trying to kill Yan Bingyun, it was an evensceneA black shadow see the crowd and easily killed the two aces with unusual ferocityThen, it had lifted Yan Bingyun like a burlap bag and easily took hi surrounded by many people

It was so terrifying because it was so easyWith three snaps, Yan Bingyun had been saved by this personMeanwhile, the soldiers of the city gate department didn't even have time to lift the bows in their hands

Who was this shadow to have such terrifying power?

The Eldest Princess, who had been protected at the back by the aces and soldiers, waved her hands to disperse the subordinates in front of herWith a slightly pale face, she walked out from the crowd and looked in the direction the black shadow had escaped inNo one kne she was feelingThey could only watch as her eyes grew brighter and brighter

The Overwatch Council is indeed very scary, the ht to herselfBut, she didn't feel a great sense of failureSince it was the world's best assassin who had co she could do to stop it when he used his skills to save Yan Bingyun

However, it shouldn't i

As Li Yunrui thought this, she narrowed her eyes at the soldiers near the city gateAt this tihterThe sun below the horizon began to send out countless silver fish, which used their bellies to reflect their own light, gradually chasing away the thick darkness of the night

The torch already did not seeht struck everyone's bodies and cast lines of shadows on the ground

…

…

Of course, the Overwatch Council was scaryThe eight bureaus had a great deal of hidden talentThere were countless heroes illing to hide their faces and give up their past glory to throw theathered in one placeThe ht it could exhibit dom, secretly wary

Even though the Qing Ee of the Overwatch Council, everyone knew that the reason the Overwatch Council was able to attract so many skilled people to provide their services, to be able to exist tyrannically in Qing Kingdom for over 30 years, was co in the wheelchair

Jingdou only had 1,000 or so officials of the Overwatch Council, yet it was terrifyingThey had entered the Royal Palace, suppressed d the Ministry of Justice, forcefully open the Celestial Prison, and subdued the Jingdou governdou upside down

Fan Xian had planned wellYan Bingyun had carried it out wellTo be able to achieve such results was co power of organization and iron-blooded obedienceThese qualities, which were unique to the Overwatch Council, had been slowly, drop by drop, iping, the old cripple, and the first generation of the heads of the eight bureaus over dozens of years

Thus, the most powerful part of the Overwatch Council was not the Black Riders, Fan Xian, or the best assassin in the worldRather, it was Chen Pingping, the person and all that he represented

The Crown Prince and Eldest Princess had planned the assassination of the E MountainShe clearly knew of the Overwatch Council's power, yet it seeave it was much too littleFrom the perspective of the Crown Prince, as filled with unease, if he wanted to take the throne, he had to first control Chen PingpingOtherwise, ould dare sit on that dragon chair?

Fortunately, Chen Pingping had been poisoned and segregated outside of Jingdou

The Crown Prince had originally thought that this was his aunt's doingNo one knew that thisto do with Li Yunrui

Fro the Chen Garden outside Jingdou and the old man in the wheelchairIt was not because she underestiht he was an ie old creatureRather, it was because she had a secret

The secret belonged to one person that the other people in the plan did not knowAfter the news of Chen Pingping being poisoned by the great dou, everyone was shocked and thought that this old cripple was faking itWhen the news of the Eer ordered Chen Pingping to immediately enter the Palace, he rean make assumptions

Perhaps Chen Pingping had truly been poisoned? Thus, the old an to become restless and started to have ideasThis oldIf he didn't kill him, his heart would never be at easeThe current situation eous to take his life while he was illIf he didn't take this opportunity to take Chen Pingping's life, the old ive himself

Thus, after the old vegetable-planting Master Qin had left Jingdou and regained control of the ardou Garrison, his first order was to massacre the Chen Garden

…

…

Chen Garden was noasteland

Chen Garden, which in Fan Xian's eyes was even nan, had become countless pieces of blackened reant woods had been burned into black earthThe exquisite and stylish rooms had become countless bits of rubbleThere was ser had the warmth of peopleIt appeared unusually cold

Fan Xian saw this scene and felt that this heart was going to die from the painHe opened his mouth and scolded those who didn't kno to treasure anythingFrom the past to now, the military had never needed the appreciation of beautyWhen a branch of the Qin family's army attacked as suddenly as a peal of thunder, they naturally set everything on fire

This fire was not set for the saht-Nation Alliance were thieves who thought that were too s they couldn't take awayThey decided they may as well burn it and not leave it for the peopleHowever, the Qin fa or captured anyone

The traps and triggers outside Chen Garden, which had once made Fan Xian's heart tremble, were still thereAbout 300 people had died in the Qin faardenHowever, they didn't find a single living person

What welcoardenThe supposedly poisoned and bedridden Director Chen was not in the gardenHis beautiful fearden, nor were the servantsIt seeo with unusual thoroughnessEven the pictures that used to hang on the walls had been taken down

Chen Pingping liked those pictures

Chen Pingping liked those pictures

This ardou Garrison soldiersThe leading general was froeneration of the Qin faHe looked at the eerHe had led the attack here and lost so arden

In a great rage, he lit the fire

A flames, he ordered a fast rider to report back to the Yuantai Caiven a death orderSince he hadbefore returning

Without any other choice, he could only subdue his usual pride and respectfully ask for help from the black-clothed man next to himThis black-clothed man had been sent by the old Master to help himAs the army made their way here, he had once said that Chen Garden was completely empty at this time

The Qin General still didn't trust hihed in his heartAfter all, he was a senior figure in the Overwatch Council and ths and calculations

Yan Ruohai, with his face covered, rode his horse beside the Qin General and said, ”Since the Director has gone, then you must be mentally preparedDon't think that you will be able to capture him in a short amount of time”

The Qin General stared

Yan Ruohai glanced at hi”

After saying this, he pulled on his horse's head and rode out of Chen GardenHe couldn't bear to glance at the roaring fireHe wondered what form of human statue the Director would carve the General who burned down Chen Garden into

He was a man of the Qin familyIt seemed that this secret was only known to the Qin familyThe Crown Prince and Eldest Princess did not seem aware of itHowever, he was a man of the Overwatch CouncilThis secret was only truly known by the Overwatch CouncilThe Qin family was not aware of it

Jingdou was gradually becorave situationMemorials from various provinces entered the capital, but no edict cadouFortunately, in this era, communication was not convenientEveryone was used to a slow rhythdou felt that it was strange, they did not think that Jingdou was in a dangerous situation and become fearful

At least during these rest days, the entire Qing Kingdoshan Road, were peaceful as usual
