Chapter 28 Father and Son

Chapter 28 Father and Son

The news of the battle between the two great masters in the Royal Hunting Garden spread quickly throughout Kyoto, but did not cause much response.

Ordinary people just listen to it for fun.

The high-ranking officials had long heard that there was a great master in the palace, and they guessed it was Hong Sixiang. Now it was just a guess that became a fact.

As for the grandmaster who came to assassinate.

In the eyes of outsiders, apart from Hong Sixiang, there are only three others in the world.

Ye Liuyun would not come to assassinate Emperor Qing, and Ku He would not come either as he had been in seclusion in Northern Qi for many years, so it was obviously Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City who came again.

No one believed that there would be a fifth Grand Master in the world, let alone that this fifth Grand Master was a seventeen-year-old boy.

At this time, the fifth greatest grandmaster in the world was lying on a bed in a palace in the imperial palace.

When Li Chengzong opened his eyes, he saw Hong Sixiang sitting beside the bed, looking at him with a worried look on his face.

"Your Highness, you are finally awake."

"Well, the old man is really cruel." Li Chengzong said as he struggled to sit up.

Hong Sixiang hurriedly helped him up, nodded but said nothing.

Li Chengzong stopped talking and just sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and began to heal his wounds.

Finally, he unleashed a full-strength attack, which almost drained all the internal energy in his body. When he was exhausted, he was hit by another wave of domineering internal energy from Emperor Qing, and was seriously injured.

However, it would not be pleasant for Emperor Qing to bear the full force of his attack.

Emperor Qing is indeed powerful. If the amount of true qi of an ordinary grandmaster is a pond, then his true qi is a huge lake. The huge amount of true qi in his body allows him to achieve almost perfect defense and form a thick true qi barrier around him. However, Li Chengzong's last sword not only has a physical attack, but also a bonus sword intent spiritual attack.

Although the sword intent carried by the last attack was only comprehended by him with the help of the sword intent given by the system, it was derived from another level after all. Even for someone as strong as Emperor Qing, it would take some time to completely eliminate the influence of that sword intent.

That is to say, he cannot mobilize the sword intent in his dantian, otherwise any master in the world can kill him.

When Li Chengzong used the Heaven and Earth Furnace to recover from his injuries, his originally painful face gradually revealed joy and surprise.

Frankly speaking, even he himself did not expect that the Heaven and Earth Furnace Sutra would have such an excellent healing effect.

Emperor Qing's true qi is very domineering, and in his domineering state there is a kind of majestic righteousness, but this majestic righteousness also carries a kind of femininity. The two forces of completely opposite natures merge together and remain in his body, which is more difficult to eliminate than a single power attribute.

I thought I could only slowly refine it, but I didn't expect that the Heaven and Earth Crucible Sutra's so-called melting of all things was really not an exaggeration. It could not only melt Emperor Qing's true energy, but even his injuries.

In just one night, the injuries were almost healed.

Moreover, the meridians and body destroyed by Emperor Qing's true qi were also strengthened a lot.

When he opened his eyes again, not only Hong Sixiang was there, but Emperor Qing was also there, with a dead face, staring at him coldly, which scared Li Chengzong.

Then, Li Chengzong smiled and said, "Dad, that sword intent was not pleasant, was it?"

Of course it doesn't feel good, just like a fish bone stuck in the throat. Once you use your true energy, you'll feel a tingling sensation in your head.

But when he was healing his wounds last night, Emperor Qing also discovered that the sword intent was not indelible, and that he could also temper his mental strength in the process of erasing it.

At his current level, it is no longer easy to improve his strength. He did not expect that his son's sword intent would have such an effect, so it is also a good thing for him.

Emperor Qing did not answer, but asked: "How many people know that you have broken through to become a Grandmaster?"

"There was such a big commotion yesterday, is there anyone in Kyoto who doesn't know that I have become a grandmaster?" Li Chengzong was a little confused.

With the sword intent he burst out yesterday, at least half of the masters in Kyoto, not to mention the entire city, could have noticed it. He is the fifth greatest grandmaster in the world, so shouldn't everyone know about it?

"Yesterday, Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City came to assassinate me. I stopped him and fought with him in the Hunting Garden Valley."

Li Chengzong felt sorry for Si Gu Jian because he was the one who put the blame on others.

But the person who passes the buck will eventually be blamed. Hong Sixiang never thought that there would be a day when he would have to take the blame for someone else.

Li Chengzong nodded, turned to look at Emperor Qing and said, "Father, do you want me to hide my strength?"

"Oh, why do you think I want you to hide your strength?"

Emperor Qing smiled with great interest and said, "You are now a Grandmaster. If this gets out, it will enhance the reputation of Daqing and bring honor to me."

“You should be the strongest among the four great masters, but you are still not sure if you can withstand the siege of the three great masters, so you want to use me as a trump card.”

"Ye Liuyun is the Grandmaster of my Qing Nation, why would he want to kill me?"

"Because you want to kill him, he will naturally resist."

Seeing Emperor Qing open his mouth, Li Chengzong took the lead and said, "I know what you are going to say, but I am not stupid. Ye Liuyun is a great master. Although he is a Qing countryman, he neither listens to orders nor obeys orders. As an emperor, you cannot tolerate him, so you have to kill him."

Emperor Qing did not comment, but smiled and said, "You are also a Grandmaster."

"I am different from Ye Liuyun."

"What is the difference?"

"I am your son first, the prince of Qing, and then the Grand Master. I have no interest in being the emperor, and I will not affect your imperial power. Why do you want to kill me?"

If a son is disobedient, the most he would do is beat him, but he would never try to kill him.

This is the essential difference between him and Ye Liuyun.

In addition, there is a big difference between the Emperor Qing in the novel and the TV series. Although the Emperor Qing in the TV series also makes all kinds of calculations, he has not yet reached the point of being inhumane.

It is true that Emperor Qing is obsessed with power, but he is easier to talk to if you don't touch his bottom line.

Let’s take a simple example: the Lai Mingcheng incident.

Before Lai Mingcheng came into contact with Fan Xian, he could point at Emperor Qing's nose and scold him without any problem, but in the end, he touched Emperor Qing's bottom line and was beaten to death by Emperor Qing. It can be said that his death was very unjust.

And there is Ye Qingmei. Why was she killed by Emperor Qing? In the final analysis, it was because she touched the imperial power and affected the imperial rule.

He is not Ye Qingmei. He is not as great as Ye Qingmei, who wants to change the world and is even willing to confront the entire world.

Of course, the main reason why he dared to be so open with Emperor Qing was that he had the confidence after achieving the status of a grandmaster. Although he couldn't defeat him now, escaping would definitely be no problem.

"Does the throne look down on you so much?" Emperor Qing was a little angry.

"Everyone's pursuit is different. You pursue supreme power, so you want to kill Ye Liuyun, destroy Northern Qi, and destroy the temple, but what I pursue is to live a peaceful and happy life."

"It is true that I want to kill Ye Liuyun and destroy Northern Qi, but the temple..."

Emperor Qing paused for a moment and said angrily, "When I allowed you to enter the Imperial College, Zhang Xuezheng never taught you that when the heaven and earth were first separated and giant beasts were rampant, the people in the temple came to the world with might and virtue, passing on writing and etiquette to the world, helping the world to open up mountains and seas, and establish the foundation of the human race. How could I be disrespectful to the temple?"

Li Chengzong rolled his eyes and said, "Look, you are the emperor and you are testing everything. You even doubt your own son. It's really boring. You are boring too."

"you……"

Emperor Qing was furious. If his son hadn't been injured, he would have wanted to slap him. He took two deep breaths to calm himself down and said in a cold voice, "After you recover, go to the Ministry of War."

"Don't go."

"I'm not discussing this with you."

"I dont go."

"Didn't you say you are my son? Is there any son in the world who doesn't listen to his father?"

"There are so many disobedient sons in the world. How about you just beat me up like a normal father?"

Li Chengzong was firm: "To be honest, if it weren't for your father's face, I wouldn't even want to be the Junior Minister of the Zongzheng Temple. It's impossible for me to go to the Ministry of War!"

Emperor Qing found that he always found it difficult to control his emotions when facing his son. However, this son looked too much like him, which made him feel that beating his son was like beating himself when he was younger. Besides, apart from not following his arrangements regarding being an official, he was very obedient in other aspects. This made him realize the ordinary feelings between father and son, and he really couldn't bear to be cruel to him.

The key point is that this son is too evil.

He had also read the nameless book of mental skills, but no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible to cultivate to the level of a grandmaster. He really couldn't understand how his son succeeded.

But no matter what, after becoming a grandmaster, he can no longer fight whenever he wants. Given his son's character, he will definitely resist, and then his strength will be exposed, which will affect many of his plans and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Forget it, I won’t go if I don’t want to. Taking over the Zongzheng Temple was the original arrangement anyway.

Emperor Qing thought so and changed the subject.

"How many people have practiced your nameless mental method?"

When asking this question, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes.

If it was just a ninth-grade mental method, he wouldn't care.

But Li Chengzong has now achieved the status of a grandmaster. Although no one knows how he achieved this breakthrough, it has proved that his self-created nameless mental method can be cultivated to the level of a grandmaster, so we have to take it seriously.

Unfortunately, Emperor Qing didn’t know that Li Chengzong’s breakthrough to the Grandmaster level had little to do with his self-created martial arts.

"At least two-thirds of the Blood Robe Guards practice the techniques I created."

Li Chengzong noticed the murderous intent in Emperor Qing's eyes and roughly guessed what he was thinking. He shook his head and said, "You have read that mental method. It is already the limit to be able to cultivate to the peak of the ninth rank. I also broke through to become a grandmaster by chance. To become a grandmaster does not depend on the method, but mainly on the person. I believe you understand this very well. For example, Ku He's Tianyi Dao Mentality Method was also passed on to other people. But apart from Ku He, has anyone else broken through to become a grandmaster? So, you don't need to care so much. Besides, you should know the loyalty of the Blood Robe Guards."

Emperor Qing was indeed aware of the loyalty of the Blood-Clothed Guards.

Many people have tried to win over the Blood-Cloth Guards over the years, but he has never seen a single one succeed. He even admires his son's ability to brainwash people.

And just like Li Chengzong said, the one who can break through to the Grandmaster level depends on the person rather than the technique, otherwise there wouldn't have been only four Grandmasters in the world before Li Chengzong.

"Forget it, just give it to me. But I have to remind you, kid, to always leave a way out for yourself when doing anything. You should be on guard against everyone, even me."

Li Chengzong shook his head: "I understand what you said, but I don't want to be like you."

"What kind of person am I?"

Emperor Qing was still somewhat curious about the image of himself in his son's mind.

"You are on guard against everything. I am all alone, without anyone to talk to. It's only because my son has achieved the Grandmaster level that I would not dare to chat with you like this."

"You think that if you become a Grandmaster, I can't do anything to you."

"There must be a way. I can't outwit you, nor can I beat you. I also know that you let me go because I'm your son."

Li Chengzong actually hadn't said a "but", but thinking that he had already made Emperor Qing angry enough today, he let it go.

After all, he is his father and he has been good to him over the years, so he should still give him some face.

"It's good for you to know, kid."

Emperor Qing snorted, "One more thing, I don't care about your marriage, but you can't let a woman affect my plan, understand?"

"Don't worry, I won't take her back home until she's exposed."

Li Chengzong knew what Emperor Qing meant. He was simply worried that after Emperor Qing brought Li Lisi back home, he would not be able to pass on false news to Northern Qi.

After all, Emperor Qing knew Li Lisi, or to be more precise, Si Lili's true identity. The reason why he kept Si Lili was to make the fake news more real.

"You don't object to me using her?" Emperor Qing was a little surprised.

"Who asked her to come here first to gather intelligence?"

Li Chengzong shook his head and said seriously, "Although I like her, I will not affect the military and political affairs of Qing Kingdom for her. This is the most basic position that I have. Of course, I want to save her sister and brother in the end, and I hope that the emperor will agree."
