Chapter 136 Strict Investigation

To seek justice for himself, Li Chengqian said he must do this.

Moreover, if this matter was not used to cause trouble, how could the Qing State have an honest reason to go to war with Northern Qi?

Now that Zhao Yun has joined the Zhengbei Camp, how can he get the opportunity to rise to the top?

For soldiers, only military merit is the best and fastest way to rise.

Now, because of Zhao Yun's seventh-level cultivation, his superb marksmanship, and his clean wealth, he became a general of a hundred men as soon as he joined the army.

Of course, this is the limit.

But once you have achieved commendable military exploits.

A thousand generals or even higher military ranks are nothing.

The most important thing is that only with enough battles can Zhao Yun enter the ranks of great masters as soon as possible.

The influence of a military grandmaster will be extremely terrifying.

Once Zhao Yun was promoted to Grand Master, it would be the time for him to force Emperor Qing to abdicate.

As for Zhao Yun, things are similar to Zhao Yun in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by Luo Guanzhong.

To be honest, no one would believe that this Zhao Yun is that Zhao Yun.

Moreover, with the popularity of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people, whether among warriors or in the military, are imitating its characters intentionally or unintentionally.

Many people even changed their weapons specifically for this reason.

Lu Bu's Fangtian Painting Halberd, Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, and Zhang Fei's Zhangba Snake Spear.

Weapons like this can be said to be extremely popular.

Some people even dress up like those famous generals.

It's not like there are no name changes.

There are even many literati who make feather fans and turbans, claiming to be great talents comparable to Zhou Yu and Kong Ming.

Of course, most of them are strawbags.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Li Chengqian sent away Lin Wan'er, Fan Ruoruo and others who were somewhat unwilling, and went to a side hall of the East Palace.

Ye Liuyun sat quietly in it.

"How is Grandmaster Ye thinking about it?"

Out of respect for a genius who relied on his talent to forcibly advance to Grand Master, Li Chengqian gave Ye Liuyun three choices.

First, join the East Palace and become a guest minister.

Second, he abandoned his cultivation as a great master and returned to the Ye family to spend his remaining years.

Third, try to escape from the East Palace, and then be prepared to bear all the consequences.

Ye Liuyun immediately erased the third option. Let's not say whether he could escape. Even if he could barely escape, if he made an enemy of the prince, the Ye family would be in trouble.

Moreover, in his opinion, Li Gaoming and the prince himself were two great masters in the East Palace at this moment.

There may even be a stronger Grand Master hiding behind the scenes.

Even if he could escape and find Emperor Qing to join forces, it would be difficult to resist the possibility of the three great masters joining forces.

The battle on Niulan Street has proved many problems.

The combat power of Li Gaoming alone is already astonishing.

The azure sword that exploded to the extreme still made him feel faint when he thought about it.

If there really were three great masters, how terrible would they be?

Therefore, the third choice is undoubtedly a decision that will drag the entire Ye family into the abyss.

Of course he wouldn't be like this.

As for the second option.

If his cultivation is abolished, it seems that he can return to the Ye family and live a stable life, but Emperor Qing may not let him go.

He may not necessarily believe that his cultivation has been abolished.

He knew very well what a cold and suspicious person Emperor Qing was.

The prince may keep his promise and let him and the Ye family go, but he wants to hope that Emperor Qing will be merciful and let him go.

But it is nothing short of a fantasy.

Over the past few decades, he had gotten to know Emperor Qing very well.

Therefore, in fact, from the beginning, he had only one choice, to join the East Palace and become a guest minister.

No matter whether there is a hidden grand master behind the prince, at least Li Gaoming and the prince himself are the two real grand masters, if he joins.

That is three great masters.

As a result, even Emperor Qing would have to put a taboo on him and not dare to act rashly.

In his view, such forces could even join forces to enter the palace and directly force Emperor Qing to give up his throne.

Because only the Grand Master will know how powerful the Grand Master is.

Although Emperor Qing is also a great master, how can he be able to match three people with his own strength?

Of course, what he didn't know was that Li Gaoming and Li Chengqian were the same person.

There is no hidden master behind Li Chengqian.

Even including him, there are only two great masters.

But even so, Emperor Qing did not dare to act rashly, whether it was two or three great masters.

On the contrary, it can truly temporarily preserve the Ye family.

Of course, he knew Emperor Qing's temperament. Once something happened, there would be a time of reckoning in the future.

Especially the strange Grand Master who appeared today.

He had seen that kind of golden blood on Wu Zhu before.

The five bamboos came from the temple, and obviously the common man also did the same.

This shows that Emperor Qing and the temple had an unknown cooperation.

Can drive the temple messengers to kill people.

He didn't know how powerful the temple was, which was why he couldn't make up his mind.

Hearing Li Chengqian's voice, Ye Liuyun slowly opened his eyes. He did not answer directly, but asked: "I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince knows about the temple?"

Li Chengqian understood what he meant after hearing this, and said calmly: "The temple is nothing to be afraid of."

He still has two chances to use his clone to offset fatal damage, although after two attempts, the clone's ability will completely disappear.

The identity of Li Gaoming will also cease to exist.

But with two chances to fight for his life, he could at least kill three to four temple messengers.

He was very doubtful as to how many temple messengers the temple could send out at this moment.

Ye Liuyun saw the confidence in Li Chengqian, so strong and unquestionable.

He sighed: "This world belongs to you young people after all. Since His Highness the Crown Prince will not give up, I will sell my life to His Highness. I only hope that His Highness will be honored as the Ninth Five-Year Plan one day and be able to treat the Ye family well."

After saying that, he stood up and saluted, saying: "Your Majesty, Ye Liuyun, pays homage to His Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian stepped forward to help Ye Liuyun up and said seriously: "Senior Ye will not give up, and I will not let down the Ye family."

At the same time, the Overwatch Council had already found out about Zuixianju based on clues.

There were quite a few people coming from the Northern Qi Dynasty this time, including Lang Tao, Cheng Jushu, dozens of elite Jinyi Guard archers, and two female swordsmen from Dongyi City who died silently.

With so many people settling in Kyoto, even if someone secretly provides convenience, many traces cannot be covered up.

Among them, the most concerning one is Zui Xianju, who has done a lot of convenient things in the name of the prince.

Moreover, the archers of the Western Barbarians were able to enter the city, and the guard who allowed them to enter the city seemed to be inseparable from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Thinking of the news that the prince finally appeared in Niulan Street, some people couldn't help but wonder, could this be the prince going to kill people and silence them?

The news was quickly reported to Zhuge of the First Division of the Overwatch Council. As the head of the First Division in charge of matters in Kyoto, Chen Pingping was not in Kyoto now, so he naturally made the final decision in everything.

But the matter involved the prince, and he couldn't make up his mind.

After hesitating for a long time, he chose to report again and sent the news to the palace.

Not long after, there was a reply from the palace.

There are only four words.

"Follow the investigation to the end!"
