Chapter 204 The Past
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on buying some crumb cakes on the way and delayed us, we would have caught up. Now we are in big trouble!"
Fan Xian complained to Mei Cheng'an.
Mei Cheng'an looked with disdain at the crumbly cake in his hand that he had already taken a few bites of, as well as the remaining cake crumbs around his mouth, and ignored him.
This is the kind of person who starts cursing as soon as he puts down the bowl!
While crunching on the crispy cake, Mei Cheng'an secretly observed the situation at the gate of the Supervisory Council.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the gate of the Supervisory Council, they saw from afar the prince's carriage approaching quickly.
In desperation, the three of them had to hide behind a nearby stone tower, and that's when the scene just now happened.
Wang Qinian wiped his mouth, collected the biscuit crumbs in the palm of his hand, put it into his mouth, then wiped his hands on his body and said.
"No, we have to find a way to stop the prince."
Mei Cheng'an and Fan Xian immediately looked at him and said in unison.
"You go!"
Wang Qinian stared at the two of them with wide eyes, pointed at himself, and seeing that they didn't look like they were joking, he quickly said with a wry smile.
"Wang just said it casually, don't take it seriously."
"cut!"
"whispering sound!"
Mei Cheng'an and Fan Xian each rolled their eyes at him, and then continued to observe the prince's movements.
The prince's carriage, escorted by a group of royal guards and eunuchs, had now stopped steadily at the gate of the Supervisory Council.
Just as the prince was holding the eunuch's hand and stepping down from the carriage on the stool, the people from the Censorate also rushed out.
They did not go down the stairs, but stood separately on the stairs, looking down with serious faces, ready for battle.
Zhuge, who appeared last with a sword in his hand, walked down the steps quickly, came before the prince, bowed and saluted with the sword in his arms, but did not speak.
The prince looked at the people in the Overwatch Council who were wary of him with interest and was in no hurry to speak.
After the eunuch behind him put away the horse stool, the prince's carriage moved towards Mei Chengan and the other two.
The three of them could only dodge the Qin King's push and shove, and only returned to their original positions and began to observe again after the carriage passed.
The prince looked around leisurely, and finally looked at Zhuge in front of him. He smiled inexplicably, then suddenly turned around, waved his arms and shouted.
"Line up!!!"
Following the prince's order, the fifty fully armored and knife-wielding guards he brought with him quickly lined up in front of him.
The armor swayed in unison, with great momentum!
Fan Xian watched this scene from afar, his eyes wide open in surprise.
"Fuck, what does the prince mean by this? Is he going to lead people to attack the Overwatch Council?"
Mei Chengan glanced at him.
"What are you thinking, with just the few people he brought with him?"
Wang Qinian said.
"Don't worry, sir. Master Zhu will definitely stop him."
Fan Xian glanced at the two of them, closed his mouth and continued looking over there.
The prince looked at his guards who had finished lining up in front of him, smiled with satisfaction, turned around and looked at Zhu Gedao who was still bowing.
"Master Zhu, please make way!"
Zhuge straightened up and looked directly at the prince.
"Your Highness, the Emperor has already said that the prince is not allowed to enter the hospital!"
The prince chuckled, looked him up and down, pointed at himself and asked.
"Are you going to stop me?"
Zhuge frowned and looked at the prince without saying anything.
The prince turned around and looked at his guards, his tone very joking, as if he was talking about something funny.
"He's going to stop me."
Zhuge spoke, and the prince looked at him.
"I dare not. The emperor's order is hard to disobey. I dare not disobey the order."
The prince was calm and confident as he spoke.
"Okay! From now on, I'm going to go inside! Unless you do something to me! Otherwise, I won't stop."
Zhuge frowned even more, with helplessness flashing in his eyes.
"Your Highness, if you do this, His Majesty will be furious!"
The prince didn't respond at all, as if he didn't hear him.
"Do you dare to do it?"
Zhuge looked at the prince in extreme confusion and said nothing.
The prince stared at Zhu Ge with burning eyes until Zhu Ge dared not to look at him and looked away first. Then he did not delay any longer and walked around him, stepped onto the stairs and went towards the gate of the Supervisory Council.
Zhuge tightened his grip on the sword, but still stood still!
Fan Xian, who was far away, saw this scene and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Damn, Zhuge is such a coward! If you don't dare to take action, you can stop him. You can't even stop him with your arms open. What's the point of standing there like an idiot?"
As he was about to rush out and try to stop them, Mei Chengan grabbed his collar and pulled him back.
"Why are you in such a hurry? There are people blocking us from behind!"
Wang Qinian also said.
"Yes, sir, Master Yan is here."
Fan Xian glanced at Mei Cheng'an in surprise. Is this guy so strong? But this was not the time to pay attention to this matter. When he heard Yan Ruohai appeared, Fan Xian hurriedly looked over there.
Yan Ruohai walked through the crowd and stood in front of the prince. He looked at the prince who was looking at him leisurely and said in a deep voice.
"The Overwatch Council is an important place for the country and the lifeline of the court. If the prince steps forward again, I will draw my sword! I just dare not disobey the emperor's order. I have no choice but to knock the prince unconscious and send him to the palace for punishment!"
The prince pointed at him.
"Ah, I see. You think you can do it on your own."
As he spoke, the prince pointed his hand at the guards behind him.
"Can you stop my guard?"
Yan Ruohai looked at him expressionlessly, without saying a word. The prince nodded, turned to face the guards at the bottom of the stairs, and shouted orders.
“Draw your sword!!!”
Following the prince's order, his guards drew their swords in unison without hesitation.
When everyone in the Supervisory Council saw this, they all drew their weapons without waiting for orders.
The prince came back to his senses and looked at Yan Ruohai coldly, but Yan Ruohai didn't even blink.
Seeing that the atmosphere had reached a stalemate, Zhu Ge below quickly walked up the stairs, stood beside Yan Ruohai, and watched the prince give earnest advice.
"Your Highness! This is Kyoto. How are you going to explain this to His Majesty?"
The prince looked at him and shouted.
"Lin Gong is my good friend! For both moral and legal reasons, I will find out the truth!"
Said the voice of Haichen.
"The Supervisory Council will naturally investigate!"
The prince no longer cared about his manners at this point, and roared again upon hearing this.
"I don't trust you!"
After shouting, he waved his sleeves violently!
"Get out of the way!"
……
Fan Xian, who was peeking from a distance, leaned over and said.
"The prince is crazy!"
Wang Qinian also sighed.
"I didn't expect the prince to be so tough."
Fan Xian looked over there and muttered.
"The prince is so fierce, I feel like Zhu Ge and Yan Ruohai won't be able to stop him!"
Mei Cheng'an twitched his ears, glanced at the street in the other direction, curled the corners of his mouth and spoke.
"Someone who can stop him has arrived."
Fan Xian and Wang Qinian turned around and looked at him at the same time, and Fan Xian said.
"Who is it? Where are you? I can't see you."
Mei Chengan said softly.
"Listen carefully!"
The two held their breath and listened carefully. Sure enough, they could faintly hear the sound of horse hooves, which was getting louder and louder.
The two men came to their senses and hurriedly turned around to look at the street on the other side.
As the prince roared at the top of his lungs, his guards were about to charge at the command.
At the end of the street, a large number of heavily armored knights suddenly appeared, all wearing black armor, masks covering their faces, and holding black flags.
Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"Black Knight, the dean is here!"
When Fan Xian heard this, the three words "Chen Pingping" came to his mind, and he looked over there with more curiosity.
Mei Cheng'an looked towards the door of the Supervisory Council with interest, wanting to see the prince's reaction, but unfortunately, the prince had his back to him and he could not see.
Why was he facing away from him? Naturally, the prince was also attracted by the noise on the other side of the street and turned to look over there.
The moment he saw the Black Cavalry, he muttered the word "Black Cavalry", his eyes shrank, and he swallowed involuntarily.
A man's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Chen Pingping and his Black Cavalry, the strongest army under his command, have frightened countless people in the world.
The Crown Prince was naturally no exception. He was the heir to the throne, and under normal circumstances he would not have been like this. The main reason was that he was now leading people to attack other people's territory, and a moment of guilty fear was a natural reaction.
Seeing the Black Cavalry, Yan Ruohai was still relatively calm, but Zhu Ge's expression changed significantly. The worry and anxiety on his face disappeared, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he even revealed a hint of a smile.
The Black Cavalry was moving at a fast pace and arrived at the gate of the Overwatch Council in the blink of an eye. When the escorting black carriage reached the gate, the entire team stopped.
Yan Ruohai and Zhu Ge immediately walked around the prince, went down the stairs, and came to the back of the black carriage.
The door of the carriage had already been opened, and the two of them hurriedly bowed to Chen Pingping, who was wearing a black robe and sitting in a wheelchair with a wool blanket covering his legs.
"Dean!"
Chen Pingping looked at the two of them and was about to speak when he suddenly felt an itch in his throat and couldn't help coughing several times.
Yan Ruohai heard the noise and stood up and asked.
"what happened?"
Zhu Ge, who was standing aside, looked at Chen Pingping with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Chen Pingping coughed again, and then he felt the itchiness in his throat slightly dissipate. He didn't dare to say more and replied briefly.
"I feel a little cold."
Zhu Ge said immediately after hearing this.
"I will go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for help now."
After a short pause, Chen Pingping felt much better, so he stopped Zhu Ge who was about to turn around and leave.
"Do not bother!"
The two of them worked together to lift Chen Pingping down from the car. Yan Ruohai took the initiative to push his wheelchair and stopped in front of the steps.
Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair, looking at the people in front of him with indifferent eyes.
Fan Xian, who was far away, was a little surprised at this moment. He had heard Chen Pingping's name more than once.
But he could never have imagined that Chen Pingping, who was in charge of the terrifying behemoth that was the Supervisory Commission, was actually a disabled person in a wheelchair.
Fan Xian looked at Mei Chengan and asked in a low voice.
"What happened to his leg?"
Mei Cheng'an glanced at Wang Qinian, and Wang Qinian immediately spoke and narrated the story of the past in a quiet voice.
"Back then, Dean Chen led the Black Cavalry on a thousand-mile raid to capture the most powerful villain in Northern Qi, Sean. He was injured in that battle and could never walk again."
