Later, he heard all sorts of rumors.
Therefore, he still didn't fully understand the power of a Grand Master.
"What else?" Lu Xiao asked.
Not to mention that he is not an ordinary Grandmaster, even if he is, Emperor Qing still cannot give him orders.
Fan Xian said, "I suddenly want to become a Grandmaster again. But, Brother, is what you said true? Is there really someone in Northern Qi who wants to kill Xiao En?"
Lu Xiao said, "Of course, apart from anything else, Shen Zhong alone is enough to give Sean a hard time. You have to understand that Sean was previously the head of the Northern Qi Jinyiwei Tiqi, and Shen Zhong is now the commander of the Jinyiwei. If you were Shen Zhong, would you watch Sean return safely and seize power from you?"
Fan Xian nodded. "That's right. I'm relieved then."
But then he added, "Wait, what if the Northern Qi people can't kill Sean? Doesn't that mean I have to take action?"
Lu Xiao said, "Are you stupid? Where's your uncle? He's always been by your side. If things get really tough, you can ask your uncle to help. He's a Grandmaster, so taking on Sean would be easy."
Fan Xian said, "No, my uncle didn't come this time. He has other things to do."
Lu Xiao asked, "Didn't come?"
That shouldn't be the case. Lu Xiao remembered that Wu Zhu was clearly going to Northern Qi together this time, but his target was very clear: he was directly looking for Ku He.
Fan Xian said, "Yes, my uncle said that with you here, my group from Northern Qi will be absolutely safe, so he went off to focus on other things."
Lu Xiao hadn't expected this.
But he immediately asked, "What are you busy with? I'm also curious about your uncle's fighting ability. When you're free, let me fight your uncle."
At this time, Fan Xian whispered, "Brother, I'm going to tell you something in secret. Don't tell anyone. I recently acquired a magical weapon, and my sister happens to have some talent in using it, so I'm going to teach her."
Magical weapon?
Lu Xiao looked at Fan Xian with a very strange look.
(De Wang Zhao) Isn't that Barrett?
What's so mysterious about it?
Fan Ruoruo's hands are very steady.
He has extraordinary talent in surgery and firearms.
However, according to the timeline, her talent seemed to have been discovered a little too early.
In the original novel, Fan Xian discovered this after returning from Northern Qi.
Unexpectedly, they had just planned to go to Northern Qi, and there had already been such changes.
No need to ask, it must be the problem of this little butterfly of mine.
Fortunately, they are all minor matters that do not affect the overall situation.
In this way, the two chatted while hurrying on their way.
The delegation was large and numerous, so they were not traveling very fast.
In addition, Lu Xiao would stop from time to time to admire the scenery along the way with Si Lili, which slowed the pace even further.
It would have taken only half a month to reach the border between the two countries.
Lu Xiao was forced to delay for more than a month.
Because of this, many people are very anxious.
Chapter 256 Grandmaster Blocks the Road
Nanqing Imperial Palace.
In the imperial study, Emperor Qing frowned.
"Eunuch Hou, where did Lu Xiao and the others go today?"
The eunuch who was waiting on the side replied immediately.
"Your Majesty, according to the latest news, the delegation should have arrived at the border today."
After hearing this, Emperor Qing's brows relaxed and he spoke subconsciously.
"Finally."
He has been asking this question almost every day for more than a month.
But the answers he got every time were disappointing.
Lu Xiao and the others were walking too slowly.
It was so slow that Emperor Qing began to suspect whether Lu Xiao did it on purpose.
Fortunately, today he finally got the news he wanted to hear.
At the same time, an undisguised murderous intent began to appear in his eyes.
He only whispered softly, "Lu Xiao, let me see how powerful you, the newly promoted Grandmaster, are."
at the same time.
On a mountain at the border between Southern Qing and Northern Qi, two figures simultaneously gazed towards Southern Qing.
These two people are one old and one young, one male and one female.
The old man was a man, dressed like an ascetic.
There are no Buddhist monks in the world of Joy of Life, but there are similar ascetics.
Most of the ascetics are devout believers of the temple.
The young one was a woman, quite pretty, but dressed like a village woman.
These two people were none other than Northern Qi's Grandmaster Ku He and his close disciple Haitang Duoduo.
"Master, we've been waiting for over ten days. Is this the route the Nanqing delegation took? Are we waiting for the wrong thing?"
Hearing Haitang Duoduo's complaints, Ku He said helplessly.
"This is news personally delivered by the Emperor of Nanqing. It cannot be wrong. We just need to wait patiently."
Haitang Duoduo was speechless when she heard this.
"Master, do you think the Emperor of Nanqing has a mental problem? Lu Xiao is clearly the Grandmaster of Nanqing, yet he wants to join forces with you to kill his own Grandmaster. Wouldn't anyone with a normal mind recruit him? If the three Grandmasters of Nanqing join forces, even if we, Northern Qi, join forces with Dongyi City, will be unable to stop them."
Ku He said, "You don't understand. How could a Grand Master be coerced by others? You've heard about the newly promoted Grand Master of Nanqing before, in the Qing court. He was challenging the authority of the Nanqing Emperor. As an emperor, he naturally couldn't tolerate that. Otherwise, the Qing court wouldn't be called Li anymore. So, for him, consolidating imperial power is more important than winning over a Grand Master."
Haitang Duoduo said, "I don't think you're right. Didn't Ye Liuyun also stay in the river for over ten days? Why would he be sent by the Emperor of Nanqing?"
Across the official road at the foot of the mountain there is a long river.
At this moment, there was a small boat parked on the river.
On that boat, there also stood a man who looked quite old.
This person had his eyes closed, and his aura was extraordinary; it was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.
What was even more miraculous was that even though the river was surging, the leaf boat remained in the middle of the river without moving at all.
From Haitang Duoduo's words, it was not difficult to determine that this person was Ye Liuyun, the Grandmaster of Nanqing Martial Arts.
Two great masters gathered together.
Obviously the purpose is the same.
In order to kill Lu Xiao, Emperor Qing went to great lengths, even mobilizing Ye Liuyun, which shows how determined he was.
I think Emperor Qing must be thinking at this moment: Two against one, two fists can't beat four hands, the advantage is mine.
At this time, Ku He said, "He's different. Of all the Grandmasters in the world, he has the most concerns. For the sake of the Ye family, he has no choice but to submit to Emperor Qing's control. On the other hand, Lu Xiao was born an orphan and grew up in the dark place of the Inspection Institute. He has no ties in his heart. Not only Emperor Qing, but even I am worried about such a Grandmaster. If a person is free of any ties, he will naturally do anything without any taboos. Therefore, he is the most dangerous of all the Grandmasters."
Haitang Duoduo asked, "Higher than that killer Si Gu Jian?"
Ku He nodded. "Yes, even higher than Si Gu Jian. Even though Si Gu Jian is ruthless, he still cares about Jian Lu and Dongyi City. Do you think Lu Xiao cares about the Nanqing Inspection Institute or Nanqing?"
Haitang Duoduo shook her head. "It seems he wouldn't have done that. If he cared, he wouldn't have embarrassed Emperor Qing in front of so many people."
At this moment, a convoy finally appeared at the corner of the official road at the foot of the mountain.
Haitang Duoduo saw this scene and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Master, here I come! Here I come!"
At the same time, Ku He had already stood up.
Across the mountain, in the river, Ye Liuyun finally opened his eyes.
On the official road, Lu Xiao hugged Si Lili out of boredom, his mind constantly puzzled.
"That's not right. Logically, shouldn't Uesugi Tora lead the Northern Qi cavalry to raid Southern Qing along the way, hoping to rescue his adoptive father beforehand? How come he hasn't appeared yet, even though we're almost at the border between the two countries?"
Uesugi Tora was the general of the Northern Qi army and Sean's adopted son.
He is very loyal to Sean.
At the same time, he is also one of the few people in the Northern Qi court who truly hopes that Sean can return.
Lu Xiao originally thought that Shangshan Hu could bring him some entertainment.
But unexpectedly, this guy never showed up.
It seems that my strength was indeed revealed a little too early.
The title of Grandmaster is still a bit scary.
That's why Uesugi Tora didn't come.
Uesugi Tora might seem reckless, but as a general of Northern Qi, this recklessness is only superficial; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold onto military power for so long.
In the Northern Qi army, the words of the young Northern Qi emperor and the empress dowager were not as effective as those of Shang Shanhu.
It can be seen that his means are actually quite high.
If he still dared to come knowing that Grandmaster Lu Xiao was accompanying him, then he would not be Uesugi Tiger, but a real tiger.
At this moment, Lu Xiao suddenly sensed two powerful auras coming from the official road not far away, one on the left and one on the right.
At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Finally something to do.
Then he immediately shouted.
"Stop! Everyone stand by."
As soon as the words fell, the delegation stopped.
During this journey, everyone had long since gotten used to Lu Xiao's frequent stops to rest.
Fan Xian, who was standing by, couldn't help but say.
"Brother Lu, you're not planning on taking your sister-in-law out for some sightseeing again, are you? There doesn't seem to be anything special about this border area!"
Lu Xiao shook his head and said, "Not this time. Two friends have arrived. You two wait here. I'll go say hello and be back soon."
As the voice rang out, his Qiluo Lacquer Master flew out.
A moment later, he landed at the foot of the mountain, and then heard him shout.
"Since you two are here, please show yourself!"
As soon as the words fell, Ku He on the mountain and Ye Liuyun in the river flew up simultaneously, landing opposite Lu Xiao in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Wang Qinian's expression changed instantly.
Others might not recognize these two people, but as a once world-famous thief, he would definitely recognize them.
"It's over, it's over, it's completely over now!"
Wang Qinian shouted in panic..
Chapter 257 The Fight Begins
After hearing Wang Qinian's words, Fan Xian immediately asked.
"What's wrong, Lao Wang?"
Wang Qinian immediately said, "Those two people are Grandmasters Ye Liuyun and Ku He."
When these words came out, not only Fan Xian, but everyone else in the delegation was stunned.
Grandmaster Ye Liuyun and Ku He.
