Ku He, slightly annoyed, took out a secret manual. "Take it, and don't bother me again!"
Wu Zhu looked through the manual for a while, then nodded.
"Baldy, you'd better watch your stuff from now on."
At that moment, Haitang flew over as well.
She sniffed, inhaling the scent of high-molecular-weight cleaning kerosene in the air.
"Grandmaster Wuzhu, you smell wonderful and have great skin. How do you take care of yourself?"
Wu Zhu held the manual in his hand and mechanically replied, "It's innate."
He took two steps forward, then suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Zhu bent one leg outward at an odd angle and then limped away.
Haitang Duoduo clenched her fist, "In the battle of Grandmasters, Master Kuhe of the Heavenly Dao Sect has won a great victory!"
She turned around and found that her grandmaster was sitting cross-legged with his head drooping, unconscious.
This scene terrified Haitang Duoduo; it turned out that her master had suffered an even greater loss.
At this moment, Haitang Duoduo suddenly felt the surrounding sand and dust tremble slightly, and the spiritual energy in the air seemed to have become much richer.
Kuhe's tattered sleeves and several cracked patches of skin were trembling slightly.
This is absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth!
Master, what kind of technique is this? Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth so fiercely that it can be seen with the naked eye!
Haitang dared not be careless and sat opposite Kuhe to begin protecting her.
It was a full day and night before Kuhe slowly opened her eyes.
"To prevent the secret of the recovery method from being revealed, he was almost beaten to death by Wu Zhu."
He has made great progress in the evolution of Western magic, and it is not as simple as just condensing sword energy and true qi.
Now, Kuhe can integrate his true energy with the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) and quickly repair himself.
Haitang said excitedly, "Master, then you should be able to recover soon?"
Ku He smiled wryly, "Recovering health is quick, but regaining one's original strength may take half a year or even a year."
Haitang Duoduo stuck out her tongue. Kuhe was seriously injured like never before.
Ku He took a breath and then slowly said, "I will find another place to recover my strength, so you don't need to follow me anymore."
Haitang understood immediately. How could she casually tell others the location of a Grandmaster who was recovering from serious injuries?
Even at this point, Ku He still hadn't forgotten Li Chang'an.
"Please, Your Majesty, issue a formal letter to Nanqing, warning them to stop playing games with the gods."
"Nanqing has acted recklessly by deploying a Grandmaster. The Imperial Advisor will personally take action to kill a key figure in Nanqing!"
Haitang Duoduo asked in confusion, "Who would you kill without naming names?"
Kuhe said with a smile, "Wuzhu killed Tiexiang, and Nanqing can guess that I will definitely take revenge."
"I am injured and cannot act immediately. Given Wu Zhu's personality, he will not spread the word about my injury."
"Once this official letter is sent out, countless people in Nanqing will live in constant fear."
Even though he can't take action, he can still cause widespread panic; that's the power of a Grandmaster.
After Kuhe finished speaking, he turned around and took three steps, after which Haitang could no longer see him.
Two days later, Haitang Duoduo returned to the capital and told the Empress Dowager and the young emperor about Kuhe.
Empress Dowager Wei and Zhan Doudou were only pretending to be at odds on the surface; in reality, they were just putting on a show to consolidate their power in the court.
Empress Dowager Wei asked, "Duoduo, does the Imperial Advisor really intend to kill Li Chang'an?"
Haitang Duoduo replied, "Master deeply resents Li Chang'an's act of summoning gods."
At this moment, Zhan Doudou suggested, "Mother, once this letter is sent out, the people in Nanqing who will be nervous are Chen Pingping, Qin Ye, and Li Yunrui."
"Few people in the world know Master Kuhe's true nature. I bet even Li Chang'an himself didn't expect that Master Kuhe would definitely kill him."
"What I'm thinking is to take advantage of Li Chang'an's trip to Daqi to attend the Longmen Poetry Gathering, and set a trap to keep him there, so that even Emperor Qing will think that he is going to betray the country."
"When Li Chang'an becomes one of the Northern Qi's own people, let him kowtow to the Grand Preceptor and admit his mistake. I believe the Grand Preceptor will not kill him."
Empress Dowager Wei said approvingly, "My son has a good idea; he has killed two birds with one stone."
"Firstly, wouldn't it be better to use the opportunity to make a move by Grand Preceptor Kuhe to kill Chen Pingping or Qin Ye?"
"Secondly, after acquiring Li Chang'an, he and Master Zhuang will form a literary duo! The literary world of Great Qi will once again lead the way!"
After repeated discussions, the Empress Dowager, the young emperor, and Haitang Duoduo felt that it was entirely possible to do so.
Li Chang'an's reputation is growing, and the two princes of Nanqing must be very wary of him.
Moreover, he is only at the eighth rank of cultivation. As long as he dares to come to Daqi, we will definitely be able to keep him here.
The three women thought that Daqi would make a fortune then!
Nanqing, Surveillance Bureau.
Chen Pingping was huffing and puffing as she did her rehabilitation exercises when suddenly a piece of paper was covered over her face.
"Shadow! What are you doing!"
The shadow that heard the shout suddenly darted out, and then found Chen Pingping staring intently at the paper!
"Dean, I didn't do it!"
Chen Pingping's face remained calm, then a ruthless glint flashed across his eyes.
"A movement technique even faster than yours, could it be that Wu Zhu used it?"
"Never mind that for now, have the First Division arrest Guo Youzhi's coachman!"
"Interrogate him overnight and ask him if Zaizhuang Mohan had ever met the Princess!"
Chapter 103 If you dare kill me, Chen Pingping, I dare kill Zhan Doudou! (33)
Nanqing, Imperial Study.
Hong Sixiang was the only person by Emperor Qing's side.
"Si Xiang, a Grandmaster has openly committed murder. This has never happened before in all these years. Wu Zhu has given me a difficult problem!"
“This incident is different from ‘Si Gu Jian killed Lin Gong’. This time it’s a diplomatic occasion with people from all three kingdoms present, under the watchful eyes of everyone!”
Hong Sixiang said, "The fact that the four grandmasters are not taking action is a tacit understanding between them."
"The letter from the Northern Qi state merely made this clear: Ku He seeks revenge, and he wants to kill a key figure in Daqing!"
Emperor Qing sneered, "He wants to kill one of my generals, so I'll send you to kill his holy maiden?"
"I'm afraid Ku He will try to intercept us halfway and challenge us to a Grandmaster battle, which would only cause more trouble."
Hong Sixiang suggested, "Why don't we announce to the public that Wu Zhu is not a citizen of Qing Kingdom? He doesn't care anyway."
Emperor Qing shook his head and said, "Wu Zhu won't care, but if that happens, Fan Xian will be disheartened. If Fan Xian is disheartened, Wu Zhu will become disloyal."
"Who do you think Ku He will target?"
Hong Sixiang frowned and said, "Dean Chen, the Eldest Princess, the Crown Prince, Qin Ye, Prince Yong, and the Second Prince."
"Even without Grandmaster Ye Liuyun, Ye Zhong could still have made it."
Emperor Qing patted the back of his chair and said, "Yun Rui and the Crown Prince are in the palace, so Ku He dares not act rashly."
"The others... Chen Pingping, Qin Ye, Prince Yong, and the Second Prince."
"If Ku He were to act in the interest of the State of Qi, he would surely kill Chen Pingping."
If it were up to his own whims, he would surely kill Prince Yong.
"When a Grandmaster decides to kill, it's impossible to guard against!"
The incident of Wu Zhu assassinating Lin Gong has only recently occurred, and the facts have already proven that no matter how many masters there are, they cannot stop a Grandmaster.
"How are you doing with the tasks I assigned you?"
Hong Sixiang bowed and said, "This old servant has already met with Young Master Fan, but he refused to reveal Wu Zhu's whereabouts."
"This old servant relayed your words to him, and he listened and promised to restrain Wu Zhu from publicly killing anyone again."
Emperor Qing snorted coldly, "Hmph! If Wu Zhu kills someone in public again, it will completely disrupt my plans of many years!"
The Qing Kingdom holds a dominant position among the three kingdoms, and neither Si Gu Jian nor Ku He will provoke it.
This is why Emperor Qing was able to remain hidden for so many years, and it is also the source of his confidence to make such a plan.
Wu Zhu openly committed murder, which provoked Ku He's revenge, putting Emperor Qing in a very passive position. Therefore, Wu Zhu must not be allowed to do such a thing again.
This incident involving a grandmaster must be stopped immediately to prevent further damage and to prevent it from escalating and spreading.
In Emperor Qing's plan, the time for the Grandmasters' decisive battle had not yet arrived.
"Fan Xian is seriously injured, but Wu Zhu is not by his side. Where could he have gone?"
