"And they're all hiding inside Kyoto?"
Thinking of this, Hong Sixiang couldn't help but tremble.
At the same time, Emperor Qing's expression also looked rather unpleasant.
What Hong Sixiang could think of, he could naturally think of as well.
"Is this an attempt to make me uneasy?"
"Two Grandmasters?"
"Humph!"
Emperor Qing snorted coldly, and the next moment, an incomparably powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body!
A terrifying shockwave swept out instantly!
The fishing rod that Hong Sixiang was still holding was instantly reduced to dust by the shockwave.
……
Xingqing Palace.
Princess Li Yunrui stood in the pavilion, her gaze falling on a lotus pond in front of her.
"Chen Qingfeng, would you lay a hand on the Empress?"
"Our Emperor has prepared a Grandmaster for you!"
In Li Yunrui's view, if someone were to target the Empress, it would most likely be someone from Chen Qingfeng's side.
But considering that Emperor Qing had summoned Ye Liuyun of the Ye family before the Empress set off for Cangshan, she was somewhat reluctant to let Chen Qingfeng take action.
After all, Ye Liuyun is a rare grandmaster in the world.
If Chen Qingfeng is exposed because of this.
If I were to be punished and killed by the enraged Emperor Qing, that would be pointless.
Just as Li Yunrui was lost in thought, a maid rushed in to report:
"Your Highness, news has come back."
"Speak quickly!"
The maidservant dared not delay and recounted the events that had occurred at Luofeng Slope to the princess.
"what?"
Upon hearing the news, Li Yunrui was immediately shocked.
"The Empress has been kidnapped?"
"The other side... are two Grandmasters?"
"Could it be that he did it himself?"
Li Yunrui was secretly shocked.
She knew that Chen Qingfeng possessed the strength of a Grandmaster.
But after thinking about it again, Li Yunrui became somewhat puzzled and asked further:
"Two Grandmasters? Could one of them be Chen Qingfeng?"
The maid shook her head and said:
"No."
"The two grandmasters were quite different. One was tall and burly, and the other held an iron rod and had a cloth covering his eyes."
Hearing the maid's words, Li Yunrui was even more shocked.
She thought that Chen Qingfeng was willing to do anything to avenge Ye Qingmei and had taken the initiative to get involved.
But now it seems that things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.
Wu Zhu and Li Yunrui can be distinguished.
But where did that burly grandmaster come from?
East Palace.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian suddenly overturned the table, shattering the teacups and jade ornaments.
"what?"
"Mother... has she been kidnapped by someone behind the scenes?"
Li Chengqian was so angry that his face turned red, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The kneeling guard pressed his forehead to the ground, his voice trembling:
"Yes……"
"The opponent has two Grandmasters. Although Grandmaster Ye tried to stop them, he could only block one of them."
"The other Grandmaster took the opportunity to take the Empress away."
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Li Chengqian was even more shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief.
"Two Grandmasters?"
He was somewhat incredulous, and his voice suddenly rose:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Where in the world can so many grandmasters come from?"
The guards, terrified, prostrated themselves on the ground and hurriedly said:
"It was Grandmaster Ye who said it himself."
Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian was completely stunned!
After standing there stunned for a moment, he subconsciously staggered backward and then slumped into the dragon-patterned chair, his mind buzzing.
This news is truly appalling.
Previously, due to a scandal, he had been confined to the Eastern Palace by Emperor Qing.
Although a long time has passed, Emperor Qing has not lifted his confinement.
As a result, when something happened to the Empress, he, as her son, was unable to go and inquire about the situation immediately.
Now things have gotten even worse; his mother has been kidnapped, and the ones who did it were two Grandmasters.
The thought filled Li Chengqian with despair.
Even if you want to save people, what can you use to do so?
The strongest of his disciples was only at the ninth rank of martial arts, which was insignificant in front of a grandmaster.
Not to mention, we don't even know who the other party is right now.
In his despair, the crown prince gave a bitter laugh:
"Ah!"
"Father, you...you really are a master strategist!"
"He actually had the heart to use his own mother as bait."
"Even with a Grandmaster like Ye Liuyun in charge, it seems... the effect is minimal!"
Li Chengqian wasn't stupid either.
She already knew that her father, Emperor Qing, intended to use the Empress as bait.
"It's always been the same throughout history; the most ruthless are those in the imperial family!"
Li Chengqian sighed with grief.
Thinking back on all these years.
The second prince was greatly favored, while he himself was repeatedly suppressed.
In the imperial court, Emperor Qing gave him a seemingly indifferent but actually cold look.
Now, even the Empress Dowager has become an abandoned child.
As he pondered, Li Chengqian's eyes hardened.
"good very good!"
"Father, since you are so heartless, then don't blame me for being disobedient and unfilial as your son in the future."
Li Chengqian harbored rebellious intentions.
Since it seems impossible to ascend to the throne through the righteous path.
Then we might as well just go and rob it.
……
The Second Prince's Mansion.
"Snapped--!"
The celadon teacup slipped from Li Chengze's fingers and shattered on the ebony floor.
Scalding hot tea splashed onto his brocade boots, but he didn't seem to care.
"Can you say that again?"
Li Chengze stared intently at Xie Bi'an, the swordsman in front of him.
The peach blossoms, which were always smiling, were now filled with shock.
Without further ado, Xie Bi'an recounted the events of Luofengpo to Li Chengze.
"Just received news that Her Majesty the Empress was attacked in Cangshan. Two Grandmasters intervened, and although Grandmaster Ye was present, he was unable to stop them..."
Li Chengze suddenly stood up, his sleeve flipping over the chessboard, sending the black and white chess pieces scattering all over the floor with a clatter.
"Two Grandmasters?"
There are no more than four grandmasters in this era.
