Chapter 176 [Showdown]

In just one day, the convoy of the diplomatic envoys to Northern Qi will set out.

Although it seems like there are a lot of things to do, very few of them require Li Chengqian to do them personally.

It can even be said that he has nothing to do with it at all.

There are corresponding people to handle and prepare for every matter, big or small.

Even if there was something that required his attention, Chunmei, a thoughtful person, would handle it properly for him.

So, although the mission to Northern Qi seemed very busy, Li Chengqian was actually very leisurely.

Perhaps knowing that he had nothing to do, Emperor Qing actually summoned him for the first time.

Ever since he became regent, Emperor Qing rarely attended court and rarely saw him.

Almost in a semi-retired state.

If all civil and military officials were not able to go to the imperial study freely to meet the emperor, some people might have suspected that Emperor Qing was detained by him.

When I arrived at the imperial study, the old eunuch was already waiting outside the palace.

"See His Highness the Crown Prince."

He bowed slightly, and after Li Chengqian entered the imperial study, he did not follow him in, but closed the door.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Li Chengqian frowned slightly, his movement was subtle and fleeting.

Even the old eunuch could not be present, and he realized that Emperor Qing might have some secrets to tell him.

Therefore, the old eunuch who served him personally was also isolated.

The armor in the imperial study was still hanging on the iron rack. Li Chengqian noticed that there was a bronze gong attached to the chest of the armor.

Excellent quality, high defense.

There are many traces of arrow shooting on it.

However, it was only slightly dented and did not penetrate it.

In fact, for Emperor Qing, who was at the Grandmaster level, even if he just picked up an arrow with his bare hands and shot it towards here with his backhand, he could easily shoot through the armor and bronze gong.

But he didn't do that.

It is not difficult to infer that what he wants is a bow and arrow that even an ordinary person can easily shoot through armor and bronze gongs.

This weapon is modeled after Ye Qingmei's sniper rifle.

At the same time, it was also a preparation for assassinating the temple messenger and Wuzhu.

Emperor Qing's biggest plan in this life is to unify the world.

However, the Grand Master is an existence above the laws of the country.

Therefore, he has always had an absolute murderous intention towards all the great masters in the world.

This weapon was developed to deal with the greatest masters in the world.

It’s a pity that his research direction has always been wrong.

Using a bow and arrow can indeed penetrate the armor gong.

But the point is the bow, not the arrow.

Emperor Qing's research over the years has always deviated from the correct track.

If he had studied the bow from the beginning, Li Chengqian believed that with Emperor Qing's level of intelligence, he might have succeeded.

"Your Majesty, your son pays homage!" Li Chengqian clasped his fists and bowed slightly.

Emperor Qing was wearing a loose white robe.

He seemed to dislike the dragon robe and preferred to be more casual.

This idea is probably the same as why girls don't want to wear underwear.

I prefer the free and relaxed state.

Don't like being bound.

Boys like girls' breasts to be gathered together, but girls prefer them to be relaxed naturally.

"From now on, let's skip these red tapes between you and me."

Emperor Qing put down the bow and arrow in his hand, walked up and patted him on the shoulder.

"There is too much distance between you and me."

"I wonder if my father asked me to come here because he has something to tell me?"

Although Emperor Qing said this, Li Chengqian still observed courtesy and was not as casual as he said.

Emperors are like leaders of large companies. You can listen to what they say, but that's all you can do.

If you take it seriously, that's your problem.

"You..."

Seeing that he was still so well-behaved, Emperor Qing sighed and said nothing more. Instead, he went straight to the point.

"Do you know the great evil leader Sean from Northern Qi?"

"I know. This person is as famous as Dean Chen." Li Chengqian said. "Well, back then, Chen Pingping led the black energy to rush for 800 miles, and only at the cost of his legs did he capture him. Now he is imprisoned in the deepest part of the Inspection Institute.

During the peace talks between the North and the South, one of Northern Qi's conditions was to release Sean.

Do you know why he hasn't been killed all these years?"

"My son, I don't know."

Emperor Qing poured two cups of candied fruit and handed one to Li Chengqian.

"Because he holds the secrets of the temple." Emperor Qing said.

He had been paying attention to the changes in Li Chengqian's expression, but unfortunately he gained nothing.

Li Chengqian's expression and reaction seemed to show that he did not believe in the existence of the temple at all.

"This time you escort him back to Northern Qi and try every possible means to see if you can find out the location of the temple." Emperor Qing finally stated the ultimate goal.

"I have already issued an order that Fan Xian will go to Northern Qi with you.

During this journey... you need to keep an eye on Sean and Fan Xian's situations.

Maybe you can find some useful information from it.

I have been playing this game of chess for more than ten years..."

Then, Emperor Qing told Li Chengqian in detail about his hard work and painstaking efforts over the years.

Emperor Qing said.

Li Chengqian listened.

However, Li Chengqian was more concerned about why Emperor Qing told him all this at this time.

What is the purpose?

Is it really just because of trust?

Or something else?
he does not know.

Can’t guess for now.

What is certain is that this old bitch’s purpose is definitely not that simple.

Emperor Qing tells almost everything he knows.

Including Fan Xian's identity and his direct relationship with Ye Qingmei, everything was explained clearly.

nothing left.

To sum up, I hope Li Chengqian can bring back news about the temple.

"Just do your best. Man proposes, God disposes." Emperor Qing patted his shoulder gently again.

"One more thing, you must come back alive."

When saying this, Emperor Qing appeared very cautious and serious.

"The plan may fail, but you must come back alive to me. This is an imperial decree!"

"My son, I obey!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but admire Emperor Qing's ability to win people's hearts.

When it comes to playing with people's hearts, both Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping are experts.

However, Li Chengqian was very clear in his mind.

For Emperor Qing, he only cares about those who are useful to him.

Once it loses its usefulness, it becomes just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time.

Even if this person is his son, there will be no exceptions.

If it were an ordinary sentimental and affectionate person, he would have been deeply moved by his psychological tactics.

If you think that a man would die for his friend, you might even shed tears.

However, Li Chengqian remained calm as always.

Apart from the look of gratitude and excitement on his face, there was no other superfluous expression.

Life is all about acting!

"There is one more thing. I always feel that the Northern Qi emperor has lost his wife and his army. It seems that it is not as simple as it seems. You must be careful."

Finally, Emperor Qing did not forget to give him a reminder.

Because of this incident, even Emperor Qing, the old scoundrel, couldn't figure out what was wrong.

"The delegation will leave tomorrow. You can go to the Inspection Institute today and try to find out if you can get anything out of Sean.

This is your last chance.”

Emperor Qing said.

"Yes!"
