Chapter 1,469 The flaw is Emperor Qing, chaos in Kyoto
Chapter 1471 The flaw is Emperor Qing, chaos in Kyoto
What's the flaw?
The Temple Messenger is a biochemical robot, a machine without emotions, mainly based on data. Unless he is defeated with stronger strength, it is impossible to find a flaw in a short time.
Ye Liuyun relied on his own understanding to become a great master. He could not be said to be flawless, but he also knew his own strengths and weaknesses very well. If it were a one-on-one, life-and-death battle, Zhou Chen would be 99% certain to beat him, but
Now three against one, Ye Liuyun is not the best breakthrough point.
Among the three great masters, the best breakthrough point and the biggest flaw is Emperor Qing.
It's not about Emperor Qing's strength, but Emperor Qing's state of mind.
He was afraid of death, extremely afraid of death, and his long years of shrinking had caused him to lose the bloodiness and sharpness of a warrior.
This is one of the reasons why Emperor Qing has been hiding behind the scenes and not daring to reveal his identity as the Grand Master. He would never dare to fight Zhou Chen in a one-on-one situation.
On the one hand, he was not sure, and on the other hand, he felt that it was not worth it. He was the emperor of Qing and the leader of a country. Who was Zhou Chen, that he deserved to trade with him?
Three versus one was his ultimate victory over Zhou Chen.
It's just that he never expected that in a three-on-one situation, he was already very shrinking, but Zhou Chen was like crazy, ignoring the temple messenger and Ye Liuyun, and only caught him to beat him alone, so that his current injury
, similar to Zhou Chen.
The injury was not fatal, but he was really frightened and felt terrified. He still had a great country to enjoy, an unlimited future, and the goal of immortality, so he couldn't fight Zhou Chen here no matter what.
Since I can't fight my best, I can only let Ye Liuyun and the temple messenger go.
"Go ahead, kill him, kill him."
In order to please Ye Liuyun, he threatened the entire Ye family. In order to get the temple messenger to take action, he cooperated with the temple and told the temple that Zhou Chen was a threat to the temple. He also made a promise to help the temple find Wu Zhu.
Only then did the temple send an envoy to help him intercept and kill Zhou Chen.
Originally, he had plans to conquer Zhou Chen, and also thought about stalling for time and using Zhou Chen's woman to threaten Zhou Chen, but now he has no such idea at all. He just wants to kill Zhou Chen and see Zhou Chen.
die.
If Zhou Chen doesn't die, he won't be able to sleep well.
Ye Liuyun and the temple envoy took action at the same time, quickly killing Zhou Chen. Needless to say, the temple envoy, since Ye Liuyun took action, there was no room for retreat and he had to fight to the end.
Zhou Chen did not give up, instead of retreating he advanced, facing the offensive of Ye Liuyun and the temple envoys, and once again killed Emperor Qing.
When Emperor Qing saw this scene, his eyes were about to burst, and a humiliating anger surged into his head.
He was really angry with Zhou Chen. He really took him as a breakthrough point and went after him regardless of his concerns.
"court death!"
The whole body's zhenqi rioted, and he was so strong-willed that he actually bumped into Zhou Chen.
But the next moment, his expression changed, because Zhou Chen seemed to be crazy. He had no intention of blocking and actually wanted to fight with his life.
In just a moment, his mind was filled with distracting thoughts. At that last moment, he still didn't have the courage to fight Zhou Chen for his life.
In his heart, Zhou Chen's life was not worth comparing with his. Even if Zhou Chen could be killed, he would not be able to accept the result of being seriously injured because the risk was too great.
Although Ye Liuyun and the temple messenger are now at his disposal, if he is seriously injured, the temple messenger will be fine. But if Ye Liuyun has any evil intentions, he will not be able to resist it at all. Even if he kills Zhou Chen
, if you die too, it would be too much of a loss.
This was the flaw that Zhou Chen found. Emperor Qing was afraid of death, not only because he was afraid of fighting for his life, but also because he was afraid of others harming him.
I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me!
This sentence couldn't be more appropriate to apply to Emperor Qing. He didn't dare to fight Zhou Chen for his life, but he was also afraid of getting hurt, and Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to get in.
In short, it is just one sentence. In his eyes, no one in the world can be trusted. There are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me.
In a duel between masters, the outcome can be decided in an instant, and it was his hesitation at this moment that gave Zhou Chen a chance.
The powerful zhenqi made Emperor Qing flinch and avoid his body unconsciously. But at the next moment, Zhou Chen reversed his attack and turned sideways to attack Ye Liuyun, who was attacking from the left.
All this happened in a flash. Ye Liuyun never expected that Zhou Chen would have such a move, so he had no defense at all. The attack had already been launched, and it was impossible to switch from offense to defense.
But he was much more decisive than Emperor Qing. He never thought about retreating and continued to attack and confront Zhou Chen.
"boom!"
There was another loud noise and a terrifying collision of infuriating energy, forcing all four people to retreat.
Zhou Chen was still surrounded by three people. Emperor Qing was already timid. This time, he was not injured again. The temple envoy was also intact, but Ye Liuyun was injured.
I saw that half of Ye Liuyun's face had become bloody. After all, he was a body of flesh and blood. Even though he was protected by Zhenqi, he was still injured after being slapped in the face by Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen also felt uncomfortable. He was hit in the front by Ye Liuyun's Liuyun Sanshou again. The burst of true energy shattered most of the clothes on his upper body. On his right chest, a palm print was clearly visible.
A mouthful of blood spat out of Zhou Chen's mouth again, this time even mixed with organ debris. It was obvious that the blow had seriously injured him.
"madman."
Emperor Qing looked at the surrounded Zhou Chen with a horrified expression. Even though he now had a huge advantage, he still felt timid.
Zhou Chen's madness really frightened him, and his completely lifeless fighting style made him look like an otherworldly grand master. It was simply more exaggerated than those low-level warriors.
When the four great masters first started fighting in the streets, all the major forces in Kyoto who had been keeping an eye on the wedding also noticed what was going on here.
The Inspection Institute was the first to know, because Shadow immediately took Zhou Chen's red silk cloth back to the Inspection Institute and handed it over to Chen Pingping.
When Chen Pingping saw the content on the silk cloth, she instantly lost her composure.
"It's him!"
There are only seven words on the silk cloth, 'murderer', 'Qing Emperor', and 'great master'.
The silk cloth slipped from Chen Pingping's hand, and Yan Ruohai picked it up and took a look.
"Dean, what does this mean? Your Majesty wants to kill Duke Zhen Guo? Ye Liuyun was called to Kyoto by His Majesty to kill Duke Zhen Guo. Duke Zhen Guo asked the dean for help?"
When he saw these seven words, he thought it was Zhou Chen who wanted to tell Chen Pingping that it was Emperor Qing who wanted to kill him and the person who killed him was the Grand Master.
But in Chen Pingping's opinion, these seven words don't mean this.
He knew the power of the Grand Master and what kind of person Zhou Chen was. If Zhou Chen was really surrounded by the Grand Master, he would not ask him for help at all, or in other words, it would be useless to ask him for help, but Zhou Chen still
Gave him these seven words.
Chen Pingping, who was suspicious and extremely smart, quickly thought of what Zhou Chen wanted to tell him.
'Zhou Chen said that if Hong Sixiang is not the Grand Master, then the Grand Master in the palace is His Majesty. If His Majesty is the Grand Master, could it be that the murderer was...'
He instantly thought of the man behind the scenes that he and Fan Jian had been looking for for twenty years. If Emperor Qing was the hidden grandmaster, why did he hide it? There was also the dramatic change in Kyoto that year, and he could only think of one possibility.
"Ruo Hai, Beijing is going to be turned upside down. You should go and summon the major leaders in Beijing now."
"Yes, Dean."
Yan Ruohai didn't say anything and immediately went to summon him. He knew very well that if His Majesty really wanted to kill Duke Zhen, there would indeed be an earthquake in Kyoto.
After sending Yan Ruohai away, Chen Pingping immediately grabbed Shadow.
"Your Majesty is the hidden grand master. If he wants to kill Duke Zhen, he will definitely not let go of anyone related to Duke Zhen, the palace of Duke Zhen, and the eldest princess of Northern Qi."
Speaking of this, his eyes sparkled.
"Shadow, you go to the post house. If someone can rescue the Northern Qi Princess, leave it alone. If not, go rescue her."
Shadow nodded, and then asked: "Only save the eldest princess of Northern Qi?"
Chen Pingping looked indifferent: "Other people have nothing to do with us, so don't worry about them."
Shadow asked with slight hesitation: "Emperor Qing must have laid a trap if he wants to kill Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen cannot survive, he will."
Chen Pingping said: "I helped him save people, just to return his favor. As for whether she can survive, I hope he can survive."
Having said that, he knew Emperor Qing very well. Emperor Qing chose this time to attack Zhou Chen, which meant that he had already prepared a foolproof plan. The possibility of Zhou Chen surviving was extremely low.
"Also, don't use the identity of Shadow."
"Know."
'The Zhenguo Palace is under siege!'
This news spread throughout Kyoto at an extremely fast speed, and everyone who heard the news was very shocked.
In the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, the Prince looked in disbelief and asked his subordinates who came to report the news: "What did you say? The post house where the Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty lived was besieged by the army led by Ye Zhong, the Kyoto garrison? The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was besieged by the imperial army led by Gong Dian.
?Are you sure you didn’t lie to me?”
"Your Highness, it's absolutely true. The wedding team of Duke Zhen Guo has dispersed, but that street is blocked and our people can't get through."
The prince looked horrified: "The post house and the Zhen Guo Duke's residence were besieged at the same time. Only Your Majesty can do this in the entire Kyoto. Could it be that His Majesty is going to attack the Zhen Guo Duke? Wouldn't the Zhen Guo Duke be the same now?"
The news was so shocking that he felt incredible after hearing it.
Isn’t today the wedding day of Duke Zhen and the eldest princess of Northern Qi?
Why did Your Majesty suddenly take action against Duke Zhenguo?
The second prince also received the news, and his behavior was even worse than that of the prince.
"How could His Majesty attack Duke Zhenguo and the Ye family at this time? Are they crazy? Attack the eldest princess of Northern Qi and Duke Zhenguo, they..."
At this point, he stopped suddenly and his pupils contracted.
"Could it be that Ye Liuyun, the Ye family, and Your Majesty..."
Thinking of this possibility, the second prince's face became even more gloomy. He and Ye Ling'er were granted marriage by Emperor Qing, but it had been such a long time and the Ye family had not shown any sign of standing on his side, so he tried his best to think
To win over Zhou Chen.
But now that Emperor Qing has taken action against Zhou Chen, wouldn't everything he had done before be in vain?
What he couldn't understand the most was why Emperor Qing would attack Zhou Chen at this time. Isn't this a self-weakening move by Qing?
Although he couldn't understand it, at this time, he didn't dare to move at all and could only sit around and wait for the news.
Fan Xian took Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing and was about to go out when he was stopped by Fan Jian.
"The Zhenguo Palace will cease to exist after today, so you don't need to go there."
"What?"
Fan Jian's words made Fan Xian stunned on the spot.
"Because His Majesty has decided to get rid of Duke Zhenguo today, so he should have taken action now."
Fan Xian's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
"What are you talking about? Your Majesty wants to kill Duke Zhenguo? Why?"
"Why else could it be that Duke Zhenguo thinks he is a great master, disrespects His Majesty, and ignores the imperial power. Your Majesty has tolerated him for a long time. This time he has set a dragnet and it is difficult for Duke Zhenguo to fly."
Fan Jian's expression was incomprehensible. Fan Xian was disrespectful to Emperor Qing, and he didn't think anything of it. However, Zhou Chen was disrespectful to Emperor Qing. As a minister, he felt that Zhou Chen's behavior was not the behavior of a minister. It was a double standard.
But he actually didn't understand very well. Just for this reason, Emperor Qing insisted on killing Zhou Chen. Not to mention that Zhou Chen's death would be equivalent to self-weakening for Qing. If in the process of killing Zhou Chen,
The other two great masters were also injured, so Qingguo's losses would be too heavy.
He originally wanted to persuade Fan Xian to leave it alone, but after hearing this, Fan Xian became even more excited.
"No, I have to go and see what's going on. Duke Zhen Guo has helped me more than once. I can't just sit idly by and ignore it."
Fan Jian grabbed Fan Xian and said hurriedly: "Don't go. This is His Majesty's personal arrangement. You can't save Duke Zhen if you go."
Fan Xian looked ugly. He has now reached the ninth level of combat power, so he is more aware of the gap between the ninth level and the Grand Master, both in the earth and in the sky. If the Grand Master attacks and kills Zhou Chen, he will be in vain.
"What about the post house where the eldest princess of Northern Qi is?"
"It has been surrounded by the Forbidden Army and the Tiger Guard led by Ye Zhong, and narrowly escaped death."
Fan Jian also had a heavy expression on his face. Although Emperor Qing wanted to kill Zhou Chen, although he felt it was not good, he was not particularly opposed to it. However, Emperor Qing wanted to capture the Princess of Northern Qi and threaten Zhou Chen, which he couldn't stand.
This method is really a bit underhanded, not to mention that the eldest princess of Northern Qi is not only Zhou Chen's fiancée, but also the princess of Northern Qi. By doing this, does Emperor Qing want to completely fall out with Northern Qi? This is not a very wise choice.
"How could your Majesty do this? She is the princess of Northern Qi, and she is just a woman with no power to restrain a chicken."
Fan Xian couldn't accept this kind of thing. On the other hand, what Emperor Qing had done recently was really hard for him to accept, and he felt very conflicted.
Fan Jian's attitude was very firm: "As long as I am here today, you can't go anywhere. I can't watch you die."
fan
A ninth-level combat power cannot play a big role in the face of the full-fledged Forbidden Army and Tiger Guard.
He hesitated for a while, said nothing, and returned to his yard with Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Teng Zijing said impatiently: "We must go and help the Duke of Zhen. He saved my life."
Wang Qinian said: "But you also paid, it's a fair deal."
Teng Zijing immediately glared at him: "Wang Qinian, what do you mean, do you want to die without saving me?"
Wang Qinian said: "Of course I want to save them. But what can we do? This is His Majesty's will. If we go to save people, we will be resisting the decree."
Teng Zijing's expression suddenly solidified. He was resisting the decree. He may not care about his own life, but he still has a wife and children.
"Fan Xian."
"grown ups."
Facing the two people's gazes and questions, Fan Xian's face was heavy.
"Let me think about it first, let me think about it."
Fan Xian walked into the room. Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing looked at each other and left the yard, leaving the space for Fan Xian.
After a while, Fan Xian suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Uncle Wu Zhu, Uncle Wu Zhu..."
The next moment, a figure appeared out of thin air, it was Wu Zhu.
"You are looking for me."
Fan Xian said eagerly: "Uncle Wu Zhu, are there any great masters fighting in Kyoto?"
Wu Zhu said: "Yes, and there are not just two, but three. There is also one which is very strange, but it does have the strength of a great master."
Fan Xian looked shocked: "Four Grandmasters? Uncle Wu Zhu, how come there are four Grandmasters?"
"I don't know, but there are indeed four of them. Three of them hit one. The one who was beaten was Zhou Chen, and the other one, I have the impression, seems to be Ye Liuyun."
Although Wuzhu's memory is somewhat lacking, he still remembers many people he knew in the past. Ye Liuyun became a great master under his whipping, so he naturally has an impression.
The street where the battle took place was not very far away from here. When the battle just broke out, he was attracted to look at it for a few times, but he quickly came back.
"Three against the Duke of Zhen?"
Zhou Chen was frightened by Wuzhu's words. Where did Emperor Qing get such great ability? There is no problem in commanding the Grand Master in the palace. Ye Liuyun, as a Qingguo native, might also listen to Emperor Qing. What about the other one?
"Who is the other one, Ku He? Or Si Gu Jian? Will they listen to His Majesty and besiege the Duke of Zhen?"
"He's not Ku He or Si Gu Jian. He's a very strange person. He has no vitality. He's a bit like me."
"What?"
Fan Xian didn't quite understand what Wu Zhu meant, but he understood that there was actually a great master who was not one of the five great masters.
What on earth is going on in this world? Isn’t it said that there are only five great masters? It’s enough to have people like Uncle Wu Zhu, but why is there another great master with fighting power now?
But now was not the time to think about these things. When he thought that Zhou Chen was besieged by the three great masters and his life or death was uncertain, he hurriedly asked Wu Zhu.
"Uncle Wuzhu, Duke Zhen Guo is kind to me. Can you save him?"
"There is no way, the three great masters, he can't survive, and I am only responsible for protecting you, I don't care about others."
"But Lord Zhenguo is kind to me, I beg you to help him, is that okay?"
"No, the lady's order requires me to protect you. If I go, I might die and I won't be able to protect you anymore. I can't go."
What Fan Xian wanted to say was immediately choked up. Yes, the three great masters, even if Uncle Wu Zhu has passed now, Duke Zhen Guo no longer knows what will happen. Although Uncle Wu Zhu is fierce, if he faces the three great masters at the same time,
Grandmaster, I'm afraid he can't stop it either.
Thinking of this, he could no longer tell Wu Zhu to save Zhou Chen. At this moment, he really hated himself. If he had the strength, he wouldn't be so helpless.
The Zhou Mansion, as Zhou Chen's base camp, was surrounded by the Forbidden Army. Gong Dian gave an order, and the Forbidden Army rushed directly into the mansion. Many servants in the Zhou Mansion were panicked and couldn't escape even if they wanted to. They were all brutally beaten by the Forbidden Army.
Take control.
After a while, Gong Dian listened to the report of his general with a gloomy expression.
"Commander, no one was found."
"How is it possible? We kept watching and clearly saw someone going in. How could we not find anyone?"
Gong Dian was the commander sent by Emperor Qing to besiege the Zhou Mansion. His main target was Zhou Chen's woman, the Qing courthouse who was brought back from the brothel by Zhou Chen.
Although Emperor Qing didn't think Zhou Chen would take a Qinghuan to his heart, he still issued this order just in case.
But he didn't know that although Zhou Chen was self-reliant and unruly, he was not the kind of pretentious person. Instead, he understood the principle of a cunning rabbit's three burrows.
He had already built a secret passage in the Zhou Mansion, which led directly to the house on another street behind the mansion. This house was secretly bought by him a few years ago. Although it belongs to two areas, the distance is actually relatively close.
Yes, that's why he was able to open up this underground passage just in case.
He originally thought that after he became the Grand Master, this secret passage would be of no use, but today, it happened to come in handy as a retreat for Sang Wen and the others.
Compared to the smooth retreat of Sang Wen and others, the situation at the post house is not very optimistic, because it is really surrounded by a large army.
