"Even if we can't wipe them all out, we can still kill two Grandmasters if all goes well!"
"The last one can only escape for a while, not forever!"
Hearing Li Chang'an's words, Emperor Qing said with some emotion, "Chang'an, so you're willing to accept the abdication?"
Li Chang'an said politely, "Your Majesty, let's first set a trap to kill their Grandmaster. Whether or not to abdicate can be discussed after the deed is done."
"I have no interest in power, and I find being the regent quite satisfactory."
Emperor Qing was cursing inwardly. "I handle all the miscellaneous affairs and government matters. You only have to worry about the important things, so of course you have it easy!"
You are not a regent, you are clearly the emperor, and I am your deputy!
However, on the surface, Emperor Qing still said gently, "You don't need to refuse. After the matter is settled, we will hold the abdication ceremony on Mount Dadong!"
The four discussed the specific plan again, and then went their separate ways.
Now it depends on whether Ye Liuyun can gain the other party's complete trust. However, Li Chang'an knows that things are not as Emperor Qing said.
Ye Liuyun and Ku He Si Gu Jian exchanged benefits multiple times during the Junshan Meeting.
Under Emperor Qing's instructions, Ye Liuyun and Ku He Si Gu Jian had been in an ambiguous relationship for a long time.
When Si Gu Jian entered the palace last time, Ye Liuyun did not cripple Si Gu Jian's arm because of his serious injuries.
Si Gu Jian thought Ye Liuyun had shown mercy, which would actually promote their cooperation.
Not long after Hong Sixiang left, he actually returned.
Emperor Qing asked in surprise, "The Four Schools, why have you returned?"
Hong Sixiang bowed, clearly hesitant.
However, without much hesitation, he revealed his purpose.
"Your Majesty, Li Chang'an has gone to Consort Yi's palace."
Upon hearing this news, Emperor Qing's eyes widened.
"Damn it, what is he doing going to Consort Yi's place?"
It's already late at night, and the Third Prince left the palace to establish his own residence a few months ago.
Emperor Qing clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead!
"boom!"
The armor hanging in the distance was shattered in mid-air by Emperor Qing's domineering true energy!
"Li Chang'an, you have gone too far in bullying me!"
"You wait, after Da Dongshan eliminates the enemy's Grandmaster, I will definitely use my domineering true energy to burst you apart!"
Emperor Qing's internal energy was greater than that of an average Grandmaster, except for Li Chang'an, of course.
Therefore, when Emperor Qing's domineering true energy is suddenly injected into other grandmasters, the latter will explode and die.
This was also Emperor Qing's trump card, his trump card to deal with Ku He, Si Gu Jian, and even Li Chang'an.
"Be patient! A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"
"I'll tolerate you for now! Humph!"
In the palace of Consort Yi.
On the warm bed, Li Chang'an had already smoothly taken his place, as if he were already familiar with the process.
This wasn't his first time here. Ever since Li Chengping left the palace to establish his own residence, Li Chang'an had become a regular visitor.
Consort Yi's two jade-like arms were held down tightly, and her watery eyes stared at Li Chang'an with deep affection.
"You rascal, you've really got me killed."
Li Chang'an casually said, "I happened to be passing by tonight and saw that my sister-in-law was still awake."
Women in their early thirties are incredibly radiant and caring, making them absolutely irresistible.
She felt as if she were floating on clouds, her face flushed, her lower abdomen slightly swollen, and her body trembling uncontrollably.
"You're the most audacious person in the world!"
Li Chang'an skillfully flipped her over, holding onto Consort Yi's arms to prevent her from lying completely flat on her stomach.
"It was clearly my sister-in-law's own choice."
Consort Yi gritted her teeth, trying her best to keep her moans from getting too loud.
"Yes, it is my own choice. I don't want anyone to take care of us after the peace is over."
Li Chang'an straightened his back, and Consort Yi was struck as if by lightning, all her strength drained away.
"Sister-in-law, you're all talk, but your actions speak louder than words. It's obvious you like me..."
Chapter 166 Ranked First in Martial Arts! Gathering at Da Dong Mountain (33)
Three months later.
February of the seventh year of the Qingli era, deep in the Dadong Mountain.
Ye Liuyun, led by Si Gu Jian, met Wu Zhu, Ku He, and Fan Xian.
Inside a simple but very spacious cave, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was extremely abundant.
This is the place Wuzhu comes to whenever he gets injured over the years; the nuclear radiation intensity here far exceeds that at the mountaintop.
The group sat on separate rocks in the cave and began to discuss the recent situation.
Fan Xian bowed first and said, "Grandmaster Ye is willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light. I thank you in advance."
Ye Liuyun said calmly, "Young Master Fan is too kind. Without Miss Ye, I would not have been able to break through to the Grandmaster level."
"It was the battle with Master Wuzhu that allowed me to find a new path to break through to the Grandmaster level."
"A person should know how to repay kindness. How could I possibly associate with the person who killed Miss Ye?"
"However, I must make this clear: I will help you by killing Brother Li Chang'an. As for Hong Sixiang, I don't care about him."
Fan Xian knew that Ye Liuyun valued his descendants and family most, which is why he said that.
If either His Majesty the Emperor or the Regent were to escape, the Ye family would face the fate of being executed along with their entire clan.
"Grandmaster Ye, rest assured, killing Brother Li Chang'an is a consensus among us."
"Grandmasters Ku He and Si Gu Jian, in order to eliminate ambitious people, naturally have to kill Li Chang'an and Emperor Qing."
"And Uncle Wuzhu wants to avenge my mother, so the first person he wants to kill is Emperor Qing."
Si Gu Jian and Ku He both reiterated their ideas.
Hong Sixiang is nothing but a lackey; even if he escapes, it won't affect the overall situation.
Ye Liuyun emphasized again, "You must not go back on your promise to me."
Ku He generously said, "I have already discussed this matter with Si Gu Jian, and we will show our utmost sincerity."
"Ye Zhong is currently in charge of the Western Qin Kingdom. After the matter is accomplished, the entire southern half of the Western Qin Kingdom will be given to the Ye family to live in."
"In the future, there will be the State of Qi in the north, the State of Qing in the south, the City of Dongyi in the east, and your City of Langya in the west!"
"Without Emperor Qing and Li Chang'an, and without the Grandmaster, the Qing Kingdom can only accept its current state of being fragmented."
After listening, Ye Liuyun revealed a satisfied smile.
“Excellent. In that case, I can also become a city lord and no longer have to be mindful of others’ opinions.”
Si Gu Jian sneered, “That’s right. In that case, the three of us will each govern a country.”
"Send Young Master Fan back to Qing Kingdom. Young Master Fan is a descendant of the dragon, let's give him another push and make him the most powerful minister in Southern Qing!"
"From now on, the world will be at peace. Wouldn't that be wonderful!"
This is the plan for dividing the world into four parts, which was discussed and agreed upon by the four grandmasters and Fan Xian.
After all these events, Fan Xian realized that it was absolutely impossible to succeed without soldiers and power.
Fortunately, he has Wu Zhu behind him. Once this matter is accomplished, he will be able to establish a firm foothold in the Qing Kingdom.
Once he becomes the most powerful minister in the Qing Kingdom, he can overturn the verdicts of Ye Qingmei, Chen Pingping, and Fei Jie, and rebuild the Supervisory Council.
"Grandmaster Ye, I heard that Emperor Qing is going to hold an abdication ceremony at Mount Dadong, passing the throne to Li Chang'an?"
Ye Liuyun slowly said, "That is indeed the case, and Emperor Qing also formally brought it up in court."
"Although there are some people in the court who oppose it, they don't pose a significant threat."
Si Gu Jian exclaimed with delight, "Da Dong Shan is wonderful!"
"What we're worried about is the divine weapon in Li Chang'an's hands!"
"Although the summit of Mount Dadong is large, it has no trees and cannot provide cover."
"Li Chang'an's divine weapon is useless; this is the perfect place for our assassination!"
With Fan Xian's help, Si Gu Jian and the others gained a comprehensive understanding of Barrett's characteristics.
This kind of weapon could be hidden in high-rise buildings and forests, ready to fire a sneak attack at any time.
