A considerable number of voices denouncing the Northern Qi dynasty began to emerge among the people.
Of course, this is a popular saying at the time.
With so many powerful figures in the picture, the investigation results would naturally be different.
For example, dozens of Tiger Guards who were killed by having their throats slit.
A strange corpse, possibly belonging to a Grandmaster, flowing with golden blood.
There were also human-shaped bloodstains left from being blown up.
On the other side, after Li Yunrui rushed to the East Palace, Li Chengqian personally came out to greet him.
Upon reaching the inner hall, after dismissing everyone else,
Li Yunrui couldn't wait to ask:
"What exactly happened on Niulan Street? What did you do there?"
"These are all trivial matters, why bother with them?"
Li Chengqian smiled and walked over, then swept Li Yunrui up in his arms.
He said gently, "It's better to do some serious business first before we talk."
He was stabbed not long ago.
Hundreds of people died at his hands.
Li Chengqian felt he needed to vent his anger.
Only then can I calm my slightly restless heart.
Originally, Jing Ni, You Lian, or Si Lili would all be fine.
Li Yunrui is not in the mood for these things right now.
However, she was powerless to resist; after she was pinned down...
They had no choice but to comply.
However, just as Li Chengqian was arranging flowers and playing with jade,
The tenth eunuch, whom Emperor Qing had previously sent to the Eastern Palace to deliver a message...
They also returned to the outside of the Imperial Study.
The eunuch, trembling, relayed the Crown Prince's message to Eunuch Hou.
Eunuch Hou's expression changed slightly, and he waved his hand to dismiss him.
Then he carefully approached Emperor Qing.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince says he is unwell and cannot enter the palace for the time being."
Emperor Qing suddenly looked up.
The chilling look in his eyes almost materialized.
"He's really gotten more capable!!!"
Chapter 80: A Sensation from All Sides! The Crown Prince is Unbelievably Powerful!
Emperor Qing's tone was low, yet it also carried a hint of helplessness.
From the detailed intelligence about Niulan Street
He already knew that the temple messenger was dead, and Hong Sixiang was likely in grave danger as well.
Only Li Chungang, Lang Tao, and Ye Liuyun were nowhere to be found.
Almost all of those who surrounded and killed Li Chungang were killed.
Moreover, many of the corpses were killed with a single blow.
It wasn't created by a single person.
It was clearly the Crown Prince who stepped in and used his mysterious power.
Therefore, the Crown Prince was clearly on Li Chungang's side.
Knowing he was anxious, yet refusing to enter the palace,
This confidence is incomparable to what it was when they used to feign illness and refuse to visit brothels back then.
So, is Li Chungang the source of his confidence in defying the imperial decree?
Thinking of this,
Emperor Qing's gaze grew increasingly deep.
The battle at Niulan Street almost completely destroyed his plans that he had been scheming for many years.
Without Hong Sixiang, there would be no master to carry his true energy and play the role of a grandmaster.
Without Ye Liuyun's help,
With his own strength,
There was absolutely no chance to set a trap to kill Ku He and Si Gu Jian!
The situation deteriorated to this extent in the blink of an eye!
He let out a deep breath.
He leaned back on the dragon throne with his eyes closed.
His expression betrayed an indescribable weariness.
After a long while, he opened his eyes and regained his composure.
The situation is still uncertain, even if it is the worst-case scenario...
If you want to achieve the great cause of unifying the world, there is still a way to kill Si Gu Jian and Ku He.
cooperate!!!
Since Li Chungang is the Crown Prince's man,
If Ye Liuyun were still alive, together with him, they would have the combined strength of three Grandmasters.
Planning with Ku He and Si Gu Jian would be even more successful.
He believes,
As long as he makes enough commitments, the Crown Prince will surely make the right choice.
Ultimately, he and the Crown Prince share the same interests.
The world is unified!
Who among those who aspire to the throne would not have such ambition?
Fan Mansion
Fan Xian's expression changed drastically as he listened to the servants' discussions.
"You mean someone died in Niulan Street? And the Northern Qi sent hundreds of men to assassinate Li Chungang?"
"Did the Crown Prince go there later too?"
In an instant, he recalled the scene of his encounter with Li Chungang on Niulan Street.
Especially the eunuch Hou who suddenly appeared later.
The fact that Eunuch Hou suddenly took him away clearly indicates that he knew about it.
So the real target of assassinating Li Chungang was...
I'm afraid it might not be the Northern Qi!
Hundreds of people infiltrated Kyoto.
Do they really think Kyoto's tight security is blind?
If it weren't for the efforts of certain important figures within the Qing Kingdom,
How could such an outrageous thing happen?
Moreover, if that eunuch Hou doesn't come,
If I barge in without knowing what's going on, wouldn't I be doomed?
Although he believed he possessed some martial prowess...
Are there any lineups that dare to gang up on and kill a Grandmaster-level player?
With my level of martial arts skills, am I just offering myself up for nothing?
Thinking of this, he shuddered and felt a chill run down his spine.
The waters of Kyoto run too deep!!!
"Assassination? Li Chungang? The Crown Prince went too?"
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"Is the Crown Prince injured?"
not far away,
Fan Ruoruo ran over, anxiously asking questions.
She thought the Crown Prince was involved in the assassination attempt on Li Chungang.
My heart was filled with mixed emotions.
Fan Xian glanced at Fan Ruoruo,
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Hey,
The prince was surrounded by stunningly beautiful women: You Lian, Si Lili, and Jing Ni.
Sister, why are you going up there?
However, he still told Fan Ruoruo what he had heard.
