Chapter 61: The fireball falling from the sky shocked Emperor Qing!

Emperor Qing’s face was gloomy.

There was one thing he never expected, Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian came again!
Based on what happened last time at Mount Dadong, he knew one thing for sure: these three people each had their own ulterior motives.

After seeing that Ku He was seriously injured in his hands, Ye Liuyun and the others' first reaction was to retreat immediately.

There was no attempt to attack again.

This made it easy for Emperor Qing to make a misjudgment, as he thought the three people were not of one mind.

In his opinion, the possibility of Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian returning to assassinate again was not zero, but it was too small!

Neither of them wanted to be hurt like Ku He.

However, facts have proved that his guess was not only wrong, but also extremely wrong!
These days, every night, Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian would find ways to launch sneak attacks.

If it were a head-on confrontation, Emperor Qing believed that these two people were no match for him.

But the sneak attack from the grandmaster level forced Emperor Qing to be extremely vigilant in response.

After all, once he was injured, Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian would take the opportunity to expand their victory and intensify their offensive.

What worries him even more is that the three governors cannot withstand the sneak attack from the grandmaster!
Therefore, he had to devote his attention to protecting these three people.

As a result, Emperor Qing was inevitably injured, and the injury was gradually getting worse!
In order to solve the problem once and for all, Emperor Qing decided to use these three governors to lure and kill Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian.

According to the habit of the previous few days, the three governors always stayed in the same tent with him.

But today is different. Emperor Qing not only separated from these three people, but also set up a dragnet!

Of course, considering the gap between ordinary soldiers and the grandmaster, Emperor Qing did not expect them to kill the grandmaster, he just needed to cause some interference.

Battles between grandmasters often require full concentration; once distracted, they may suffer serious damage.

It was because of Emperor Qing's great strength that he could withstand the attacks of the three grand masters.

But even so, he solved them one by one and could not kill all three grand masters instantly.

I thought that even if my design couldn't kill these two grand masters, it could at least seriously injure them, right?
However, he was the one who got hurt in the end!

Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian seemed to have fallen into the trap, but in fact they fought back secretly, causing Emperor Qing to lose more than he gained!

Staring at the direction where Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian left, Emperor Qing's eyes were filled with anger and he couldn't help coughing.

Blood spurted out immediately.

"Your Majesty, are you all right?"

Upon seeing this, the Governor of Dongshan Road hurried forward and held Emperor Qing's arm.

Emperor Qing gently pushed him away and waved his hand with all his strength, "It's okay, just a minor injury."

The Governor of Dongshan Road understood what was meant and quickly drove away all the people at the scene before helping Emperor Qing into the tent.

At this time, Emperor Qing finally couldn't hold it back anymore and started coughing madly, spitting out blood in large mouthfuls.

"Ye Liuyun, Si Gu Jian, Li Yunrui..."

He repeated these three names with gritted teeth, and a hint of confusion appeared in Emperor Qing's eyes.

He didn't understand what benefits the eldest princess had given to these three grand masters?
How could they be willing to risk their lives?

The fight just now was extremely dangerous. Although he suffered considerable injuries, the two men did not gain any advantage.

It can be said that both sides suffered losses!

In fact, Ye Liuyun and Si Gu Jian were injured more seriously, and it was hard to say whether they could recover.

Of course, his injuries were extremely serious, and even if he spent a lot of time recuperating, it would probably be difficult for him to recover.

Unless, his domineering true energy can break through again!
However, since the great destruction and reconstruction that year, he has cultivated the upper volume of domineering true energy to the pinnacle.

However, there has been almost no progress in the past twenty years on the main topic of the second volume!

Emperor Qing also didn't think he had a chance to practice the kingly way in the second volume to perfection.

As a result, his life span was limited, so he could only return to Kyoto as soon as possible, train a successor, and conquer as much Northern Qi territory as possible.

But Crown Prince Li Chengqian is definitely not acceptable, so only the second and third sons are left...if they are not dead yet.

However, Emperor Qing still had a helpless choice, that was Li Hongcheng, the son of Prince Jing. But compared to Prince Jing's son, Emperor Qing felt that it would be better to give the throne to the eldest prince or even Fan Xian.

The eldest prince has Dongyi blood, and Emperor Qing cannot compromise, so he can only let Fan Xian return to his ancestral home.

Of course, all these are things that will be done after returning to Kyoto. Now Emperor Qing can only try his best to recover from his injuries.

"Your Majesty, I will ask someone to prescribe a prescription for you right away!" The Governor of Dongshan Road said anxiously.

After a few days of testing, Emperor Qing has relaxed his vigilance against He Yongzhi.

He began to believe that He Yongzhi had no other purpose in staying in Datongshan at that time, and was just blindly loyal.

"No need." Emperor Qing smiled and waved his hand, "My injury is incurable."

The governor of Dongshan Road was very worried. "Your Majesty, I think we should give it a try. Maybe we can find a solution."

Emperor Qing's eyes were a little tired, "I feel your filial piety, there is no need to find a doctor."

The Governor of Dongshan Road was worried and hesitated:

"How about I ask the imperial chef to make a bowl of nourishing soup right away? Maybe it will help you recover."

Emperor Qing did not refuse this time and let him make the arrangements. "Well, let's do it this way."

The Governor of Dongshan Road quickly asked someone to prepare a pot of nourishing soup, and then brought it over respectfully.

He tried it himself in front of Emperor Qing.

This dispelled most of Emperor Qing's suspicion, but he still only tasted it and didn't drink much.

"I have no appetite now, but your soup is very good. You can prepare another portion tomorrow morning."

The Governor of Dongshan Road smiled happily and said, "Your Majesty likes it. It is my blessing. I will arrange it right away."

Emperor Qing nodded slightly, and soon felt his eyelids getting heavy, so he closed his eyes and rested.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Qing suddenly woke up.

He suddenly found himself falling asleep!
But he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that he had just experienced a big battle and was too tired.

After all, no matter how powerful a grandmaster's martial arts skills are, he is still a human being and he still needs sleep.

But as soon as this thought came to his mind, Emperor Qing discovered something very scary.

He can't hear any sound!
The whole camp was in deathly silence!

Something is wrong!
This is very wrong!
As a grandmaster, he could clearly hear what was happening outside even across the room.

Not to mention, it was just a tent.

As usual, even in the middle of the night, he could at least hear the sounds of patrolling outside.

But now, he seemed to be deaf and could not hear any sound!

No, to be precise, there is also a sound... the chirping of cicadas!
If that's the case, something is even more wrong!
"He Yongzhi!"

Emperor Qing's face changed slightly, and his first reaction was to call the Governor of Dongshan Road to come and protect him.

But there was no movement outside!
He immediately became alert, walked out of the tent cautiously, and then saw a scene that shocked him.

A fireball fell from the sky and hit the camp!
No, not just one!
Two, three, four...

Countless fireballs crashed down at an unstoppable speed, and even he, the grandmaster, couldn't react!

In other words, when he reacted, the tent beside him had already been set on fire by the fireball!

"boom!"

"boom!!"

"boom!!!"

The continuous fireballs, as if turning into the god of death, instantly turned the entire camp into a sea of ​​fire!

Not only that, everything around was blown to pieces by gunpowder, and countless big pits appeared on the ground!
Gazing at this scene from afar, the Governor of Dongshan Road was shocked. He knew that from this moment on, the Kingdom of Qing had completely changed and entered a brand new era!
