674 The Wheelchair In The Night Wind (1/2)
In the night, Dazhou was surrounded by flahts, Dazhou was just as bright as daylight The previous director of the Overwatch Council, the Qing E, looked at the people kneeling to him in his wheelchair on either side of the road The expression on his face did not tremble His fine and deep wrinkles did not fold in like a chrysanthemum Instead, they stood out coldly like the yellow dirt on the plains that have been shaped by thousands of years of rain
His withered and aged hands slowly stroked across the woolen blanket The light grey blanket was always s felt he was stroking soh to touch
Without much time, he learned from the internal court eunuch what had happened in Dazhou and the identity of the court cri tended to and protected by that Overwatch Council official
Gao Da? Chen Pingping was not faer to it He kneas once Fan Xian's trusted guard He glanced at the blood-covered court criradually shrank
The Overwatch Council did not know Gao Da was still alive Chen Pingping sighed in his heart He thought that even the head of the Tiger Guards had been twisted by Fan Xian into being a person who valued his life An Zhi, who usually appeared indifferent and boring, would have thought that he had such char had muttered to hiiven birth to coincidence This was not a very coincidental thing Causes and effects were destined, and past events were destined Then it landed like so Just like how the 30 Overwatch Council's black carriages forh Dazhou Outside Dazhou, they had, by chance, ran into the court pursuing a criminal, who happened to once be Fan Xian's man
This was also not a coincidence or a chance encounter There was perhaps so hidden behind all of it
”It is truly incredible that Scholar He was able to find an escaped crih Behind him, his ever-present old servant pushed his wheelchair toward the crowd of people The wheelchair rolled across the road andwith fear
In the palace, internal court eunuch He Qigan's seniority was very high, but his nature was dark He was never liked by the nobles in the court, so his status was not very i served in the Royal Palace for decades, he knehat sort of attitude he should now display
Leading the other two eunuchs and aces of the 13 Ministry of Justice Yae, he was terrified Director Chen would think that they had so Director Chen was He did not dare to have any extravagant hopes Since they had run into Director Chen, if he gave the order, they could still take this court criminal away Of course, from a different perspective, he did not think the retired old Director would go against the E court criminal After all, Director Chen was the Eotten two things Chen Pingping knew Gao Da belonged to Fan Xian, and Fan Xian never liked others to deal with his people, even if the so-called others were people sent by the Palace Second, Chen Pingping was caught in the midst of complicated emotions He looked at the fainted court cris that others could not understand
The tending of the Overwatch Council was effective Gao Da finally slooke up in a puddle of his own blood He should not have taken such heavy injuries, but he had been protecting his wife and child There were so his body and arms to catch the knife strikes
The moment he awoke, he was blinded by the torches all around him Gao Da's dry lips tree in front of hiure on the wheelchair He had not seen Director Chen many times, but he knehat kind of person Director Chen was, particularly after he saw the Director's worried and coaze
The mute wo the child, she half-knelt by his side and nodded her thanks repeatedly to the Overwatch Council members around her This woman of the common folk did not kno delicate the present situation was or that regardless of whether he was saved, it was all a lure for the s that followed
It would all depend on what Chen Pingping did
Gao Da's expression di saved his life for Sir Fan junior's sake, then He Zongould be able to use it to drag Fan Xian and Chen Pingping under
His finger h his eyes His finger came down on his temple He wanted to escape earlier because he was alone With his wife and child, even faced with the powerful dom, he would still stubbornly live on until the day he could not live on anymore
However, he wanted to commit suicide now because he knew that if he lived, he would bring trouble to Chen Pingping and create a difficult problem for the Sir Fan junior
Thus, he chose to co saw hilih his eyes and a tiny understanding smile flashed across his lips
With a slap, the Overwatch Council officials who had been standing guard by Gao Da's side easily put a stop to Gao Da's thoughts of suicide He gazed at Gao Da and said coldly, ”You've ainst all odds, to live an extra three years You even have a wife and child Why are you in such a hurry to die?”
This voice was fareat difficulty, he twisted his head but saw a completely unfamiliar face The Overwatch Council official returned to his original tone Coht in the eyes, Gao Da immediately knew his identity
Gao Da's dry lips tre at the Overwatch Council official like he had seen a ghost, he finally said in a very low voice, with a smile and a sob, ”So… You're still alive”
The Overwatch Council official shtened the strips of cloth on his body Patting his hand, he said, ”Who doesn't want to live? With the Director here, your life and death is not up to you”
Chen Pingping leaned against the black wheelchair with apparent tiredness The Chen Garden woone to relieve the sounds did not reach theher
The old man narrowed his eyes He looked at Gao Da and said, ”You are not Gao Da”
Gao Da's heart juping slowly said, ”You are only a ure Your life and death is not a major matter, so it is best if you live”
With these words, not just Gao Da and the Overwatch Council official beside him, but also the Ministry of Justice aces scattered around, He Qigan and the other internal court eunuchs sensed soer Guard Gao Da, who had escaped before the battle and the court cri tiure in the eyes of the Overwatch Council Or, an silently retreated a few steps The Dazhou Zhizhou quicklyHe invited the old Director into the city to rest
The Overwatch Council was a Special Forces organization It was the organization the officials were the anization theyand Fan Xian were powerful people who did not need to fordoreat opportunity for the Dazhou Zhizhou to curry favor with Director Chen, thus currying favor from Sir Fan junior As an official, he would not want to miss such an opportunity As for the court criminal, that was the business of the internal court and Ministry of Justice It had nothing to do with hi did not pay any attention to the official He only looked coldly at Gao Da and thought about his owndid not believe Gao Da's abrupt appearance was a coincidence He Zongwei's secret investigations into Gao Da and wang Qinian could be kept from the Overwatch Council, but it could not be kept from the Emperor Why had the E his return route? The only reason and excuse were to interrogate hidou and separated by a thousand li, the E Are you the E or are you a powerful official with his oill?
Powerful officials never had good ends, even one such as Lin Ruofu who saw the opportunity and retreated cleanly and absolutely He hid away in Wuzhou to be a landlord Yet, he was still terrified at all tiping was not an ordinary official He didn't have to worry about these things He knew the Emperor only wanted to ask him one question and then see his stance toward the Ee Blown by the night wind and illuold chrysanthe Temple that shone endlessly It was unafraid of the cold wind, ignoring the dust of the world, just shi+ning on
”Let Gao Da recover froently stroked the ardou court had sent to capture the criminal and hundreds of bailiffs and Dazhou soldiers all felt their hearts chill upon hearing these quiet words They knew Director Chen had decided to interfere Although they did resist, nor could they resist against the Overwatch Council swordses and forces hidden in the darkness, they still felt a shock
If Chen Pingping wanted to save this man, the Ean and the aces of the 13 yaht this in their hearts Their expressions were very ugly and uncomfortable However, no one dared express any opposition to Chen Pingping's words
Opposition would be ineffective They didn't have the power to oppose He Qigan's throat was dry He felt could not resign himself to the situation He had been sent by the internal court to Scholar He's side and drifted through the Qing Kingdo Gao Da In an instant, he had messed up the entire mission Once he returned to the capital and reported to his supervisor and the head eunuch that it was old Director Chen who had interfered, what did it have to do with hi and beautiful women of the Chen Garden finally returned They opened their eyes wide and looked curiously at the people surrounded by the torches They didn't knohat had happened or what their ardless of whether it was in Chen Garden, in the guerilla warfare during the Jingdou rebellion, or now on their way home, they always had people of the Overwatch Council at their side to protect thereat etiquette
They were orphan girls Chen Pingping had bought back fro beautiful and having a good singing voice, they had no other talents Chen Pingping illing to raise the collapsed, who knehat tragedy would befall these hothouse flowers
Chen Pingping lowered his head He listened to the fahtly He did not have the carriages follow Dazhou Zhizhou's invitation into the city to spend the night Instead, he sat cal at the complicated expressions of the internal court eunuch and Ministry of Justice officials, he see Then, he closed his eyes
There were notEure, even a touchstone did not have such hardness However, a person's heart was always subjective It was as if the E in the dark mountains, ”This criminal is the rock that I have left you”
There wereHe could rescue Gao Da and continue returning hoh he knew so and Eunuch Yao thought, who could hold Chen Pingping in the nore Gao Da's life and death and take the woe back home, retire, and pass the rest of his life
The E one last chance to choose Perhaps both of the choices outlined above were ones that the E didn't want to return to Jingdou to face hi didn't er and stranger Many people noticed that Chen Pingping see?
