From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 98: Doubts about the Tianmai
East Palace, Midnight

Li Chengqian sat under the grape trellis in the courtyard and observed the night sky.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was no moon or stars to be seen. It was dark and gloomy, and nothing could be seen.

But Li Chengqian watched with great interest.

He is observing his fortune.

By this time, the relevant information should have been delivered to Emperor Qing's desk.

This time, the Junshan Society sent a total of three waves of assassins into Beijing, with the purpose of confronting the Eastern Palace and testing its bottom line.

Although the Eastern Palace is also part of the Imperial Palace, the eunuchs, servants, palace maids, servants and even guards were all sent by the old man and are all considered the old man's people, but no matter how many people there are, they cannot break into the core. Even if they meet several core figures of the Eastern Palace face to face, they cannot get any useful information from them and cannot figure out the depth of the Eastern Palace.

After he proposed to marry into the Ye and Fan families, the old man became a little restless.

In the past two years, although he has been very low-key and never participated in court affairs, the presence of two ninth-rank strongmen in the East Palace is still a bit eye-catching. After all, the other deputy commander of the imperial guards in the palace, Gong Dian, is only an eighth-rank now.

The old man was originally a grandmaster, and his understanding of martial arts was much deeper than others. He knew better than anyone else how difficult it was to train two ninth-grade warriors in their teens.

But two people suddenly appeared in the Eastern Palace, which was fine.

But Guo Baokun was too dazzling. Two years ago, with the strength of the fifth rank, he left the Eastern Palace and entered the Supervisory Office. Although he was only the head of a department in the Supervisory Office and was not qualified to attend court normally, because this department was busy and Guo Baokun was serious about his work, he often appeared in the court in the past two years.

Maybe the old man couldn't see Guo Baokun's specific martial arts skills, but he could still see the speed at which his skills increased. In just two years, he had improved so quickly. Was he really that lucky?

As a grandmaster, he must be very sensitive to this aspect.

One or two would be fine, but now a third one has appeared...

With his self-centered nature, his desire to control everything and his attitude of treating all living beings as chess pieces, how could he not be curious about the Eastern Palace?

The fact that Emperor Qing has been able to endure until now shows that he is a qualified Ninja Turtle.

If it were Li Chengqian, he would definitely not have been able to endure it until now.

This time, he married into both the Ye and Fan families at the same time, which really touched his sensitive nerves and he began to secretly push for the test of the Eastern Palace.

Why push it secretly?

On the one hand, he was used to it. Habits are terrible. He had long been accustomed to this method of secretly manipulating his prey and using the Supervisory Council and the Princess to play with them without them noticing. On the other hand, he naturally wanted to save face and suffer in vain.

He couldn't bring himself to do that, and he wasn't sure about confronting Li Chengqian.

Of course, Li Chengqian could also understand that as the king of a country, he always had more concerns than ordinary people.

But I don't have to give you face, right?

Not only do they not give face, but they also make a strong response to express their attitude.

As far as the eye can see, the most obvious aura in the palace is surging and turbulent, and then slowly stabilizes. Then feel yourself again, the restrained aura blooms again, more condensed and powerful than before, and vaguely seems to be sublimated.

In other words, if everyone can understand it, the purity has been improved.

On the other hand, Emperor Qing's luck stabilized and seemed to have not decreased at all.

Come to think of it, I have no intention of rebelling now, nor do I want to drive him out of that position, so his luck will naturally not be damaged.

"So this time, the one who gained the most is Qi Wu." Thinking of how Mao Qiwu survived Wu Zhu's hands, the luck that was as restrained as a cocoon on his forehead seemed to bloom. Both the concentration and purity had a qualitative leap. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before he could make further progress.

"Zitian, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you need to exercise more. You've been staying indoors all day, and look how fat you've become." At this moment, a chubby figure carrying a basket walked in from outside the courtyard. After hearing what Li Chengqian said, he chuckled, "Your Highness, you know, this isn't just ordinary fat on my body. It's blessed fat, made up of a lot of Qi and blood energy. When I have time, I'll practice more boxing."

"Hmph, waiting for you to practice boxing will take forever." Li Chengqian curled his lips, "I'm worried that you won't be able to find a wife in your current state. Look, I've already found two wives. You should hurry up and don't wait until I drag you off to marry someone you dislike."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we've already found them, we've already found them." Gui Zitian's heart tightened. He knew Li Chengqian's character very well. This really couldn't be taken as a joke. If that time really came, Li Chengqian would really tie them up and stuff them into the bridal chamber with the women.

"Just find it, don't let me worry about this kind of thing."

"Yes, yes!" Gui Zitian responded repeatedly and quickly went into his own yard.

"This method of observing luck is quite good. By using the changes in luck and inferring the changes in choices, Lao Deng has once again chosen to play it safe. Or perhaps, has this test confirmed his suspicions? So he chose to play it safe."

This time it was a silent collision.

Through this encounter, Li Chengqian told Emperor Qing three things.

First, he had his own intelligence sources and channels, and was able to know that Junshan Society had mobilized assassins to come to Kyoto, and he also knew their methods and routes of entry into the capital, and even knew that it was his work behind the scenes.

Second, the core of the Eastern Palace consists of only a few people. It may not seem like a lot, but each of them has the ability to kill a ninth-grade master, and each of them has different methods.

Third, in addition to the four great masters and Wuzhu, there is another master in the world, and it is very likely to be me. Come and ask me!

Imperial City, Palace

Emperor Qing had regained his composure and was leaning back on the low couch with a somewhat complicated expression.

The information scattered under his feet also fell into the brazier and burned to ashes.

Three pieces of intelligence detailing the encounters of three assassins.

The Three Evils of Huishan and the Shenglong caravan were massacred at Xiaoyouling in the west of Beijing. All of them were trampled into bloody mud by the iron cavalry, and even their bodies could not be found. This information was reported by Qin Yuan, the deputy commander of the palace guards and the commander of the East Palace guards, who trained the black cavalry at Xiaoyouling. When Qin Yuan entered the palace, the horse's hooves left outside the palace were stained with blood, and the blood on the spear was not washed clean.

Zhang Qibao, the Soul-Chasing Sword, an eighth-rank assassin in Jiangnan who was best at hiding and killing with one blow, died in the western suburbs of Beijing. When the people from the Supervisory Office arrived, only a piece of human skin was left, and the flesh and bones inside had been turned into pus by the poison.

The elder of Junshan Society, Cheng Yuanzhi, the ninth-grade swordsman famous in Lingnan, also known as the Meiling Divine Sword, died in a small courtyard in the north city just after entering the city. He was kneeling when he died, and it is said that his luggage was not even packed.

This time, the assassination he secretly promoted seemed to have failed completely.

But his purpose was achieved.

Through this secret collision, he confirmed many things, some of which were within his expectations and some of which were beyond his expectations.

Based on various intelligence, the prince does have the ability to train ninth-grade masters in batches, or at least in small batches, and tailor a path for them that suits them. Moreover, the method is very different from the current martial arts training.

As for himself, he should already be a master.

This reminded him of another person.

Ye Qingmei!
Before Ye Qingmei appeared, the martial arts in this world were normal, but after Ye Qingmei appeared, the level of martial arts in the world was raised to a higher level, or even not just one level, but several levels.

As a Grandmaster, he knew very well that the Ninth Rank Upper and the Grandmaster were completely different species. The former was just an ordinary person, while the latter could even be called an immortal god.

Thinking about Li Chengqian's crazy words, he came to an incredible conclusion.

"Cheng Qian, is he also a Heavenly Vein?"
