Chapter 79 Unquiet Night

Chapter 79 Unquiet Night

"Third Prince, His Majesty wants you to go to the Imperial Study."

After coming out of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Li Chengzong met another eunuch chief in the palace, Eunuch Yao.

This eunuch Yao is one of the most trusted people of Emperor Qing. His martial arts skills are approximately between the eighth and ninth ranks. He knows how to get along with Emperor Qing and can make suggestions in a way that Emperor Qing can accept most. He is one of Emperor Qing's personal eunuchs, and his status is only second to Hong Sixiang.

"What does the old man want to see me for so late at night?"

"I don't know, old slave."

Following Eunuch Yao to the imperial study, I saw Emperor Qing looking at the poem that Fan Xian was reciting tonight.

"coming."

Emperor Qing waved his hand at Eunuch Yao, raised his head and looked at Li Chengzong, and asked, "Do you think these poems were written by Fan Xian?"

Li Chengzong sat directly on the other side of the desk, glanced at the poem in Emperor Qing's hand, and said with a smile: "Didn't Fan Xian say that he copied it? I still believe him."

Emperor Qing did not comment, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever known about the existence of the temple?"

"I have certainly understood what everyone knows. Isn't a temple the place where gods live?"

For people of this era, the temple was too mysterious and no one in the world knew the truth. However, because there had been temple messengers who appeared in the world, people in the world regarded the temple as the place where the real gods lived.

"What the world knows may not be true. Xiao En and Ku He are the only people in the world who have been to the temple. Did you know that?"

Li Chengzong shook his head in confusion. After being under the watchful eye of veteran actor Emperor Qing for so many years, his acting skills were not bad now.

Emperor Qing was not surprised that his son did not know about this, and said, "I plan to send Fan Xian to Northern Qi as an envoy. You should go with him. In addition to ensuring his safety, you can also get information about the temple from Xiao En."

"I dont go."

Emperor Qing turned his head and glared, "I allow you to say it again."

"Same answer again."

Li Chengzong smiled faintly and said word by word: "I. Will. Not. Go."

What a joke! If he went to Northern Qi, what if something happened to his family?
You know, Li Yunrui has been "eyeing him covetously". Although he has not taken any action, given Li Yunrui's character, he will probably not let Si Lili go. It is better for him to stay with Si Lili and wait until the child is born before doing anything else.

"you……"

Emperor Qing was so angry that he choked, and suddenly found himself a little helpless towards this son. He was like a hard bone to chew, and the usual threats and inducements had no effect at all.

We definitely can’t fight, and now we can’t be sure of winning.

As for temptation, this son has no desire for power or money.

The only thing that can be used is probably family affection.

But this only family affection was exactly what he didn't want to take advantage of.

Seeing that Emperor Qing was very angry, Li Chengzong smiled and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, what do you want to do by asking about the news of the temple?"

"Do you know Wuzhu?"

"know."

"Wu Zhu came out of the temple with Ye Qingmei. He hasn't changed at all over the years."

Li Chengzong understood what Emperor Qing meant and laughed, "There is no such thing as immortality in the world. If there is, Ye Qingmei should have remained the same as she was when she was born. But I heard that Ye Qingmei would also grow old and even die in the end."

Emperor Qing was silent for a moment, then said solemnly: "Whether the temple has the art of immortality or not, it still has weapons that surpass this era. If we can master these weapons, our Qing Kingdom can unify the world."

"How do you know that the temple has weapons that transcend the times?"

Li Chengzong pretended to be confused, but he knew very well in his heart that the temple's weapon would appear soon.

Tonight, Fan Xian will ask Wu Zhu to lure Hong Sixiang away and take the opportunity to steal the key from the old lady's bedroom.

If nothing unexpected happens, when returning the key, Fan Xian will also hear the transaction between Li Yunrui and Zhuang Mohan.

Speaking of which, tonight is a restless night.

"I have seen it with my own eyes. It is a powerful weapon that can threaten a Grand Master."

"So you have become a Grand Master, but you have been hiding in the palace to study arrows and armor, just to develop armor to defend against the temple's hidden weapons?"

It can be seen that Emperor Qing was frightened by the Barrett heavy sniper rifle in Ye Qingmei's hand, and he still has some lingering fears.

But when it comes to being able to threaten the grandmaster, Li Chengzong can only express disdain.

He is now a grandmaster, so he naturally understands what kind of power a grandmaster possesses.

Without anyone to hold it back, the Barrett heavy sniper can't even touch a hair of the Grandmaster.

The reason why Emperor Qing was so afraid of the temple was that he was frightened by Ye Qingmei in his early years.

Although it was a bit too much to say this to his own father, he still wanted to say a word to Emperor Qing.

Coward!
"You look down on me?!" Emperor Qing's pupils shrank and a powerful aura suddenly burst out.

"A little bit."

Li Chengzong did not deny it. He ignored his father's aura and said, "Have you ever thought that the weapon Ye Qingmei brought out back then might just be convenient to carry, and it is not the most powerful one in the temple. In other words, there are actually more powerful weapons in the temple. Why do you think we can capture the temple? Think about it from another perspective. If we can capture the temple, it means that there are actually very few weapons in the temple that are beyond the times. For a real national war, it is just a drop in the bucket. There is no difference at all whether we have them or not."

Emperor Qing objected: "How can there be no difference? Even if, as you said, there are few sharp weapons in the temple, but these weapons can threaten the Grandmaster. As long as these weapons are used to kill Ku He and Si Gu Jian, Qing can easily unify the world."

"If you want to kill Ku He and Si Gu Jian, why bother using the sharp weapons in the temple? I'll just take some time to go there."

Emperor Qing sneered: "How can a Grand Master be killed so easily?"

"It's not easy to kill a Grandmaster, but I feel it will be soon. At the latest, within a year, the Grandmaster can be killed."

Emperor Qing was stunned when he heard this and asked in shock: "Are you going to break through again?"

It's not that he doesn't know how monstrous his son is. He is a grandmaster at the age of eighteen, the only one in the world.

But as a fellow Grandmaster, Emperor Qing knew how difficult it was for a Grandmaster to make a breakthrough, otherwise he would not have seen any improvement in more than ten years.

"That should be the case. Ever since I found out I was going to have a baby, my cultivation speed has been extremely fast. Even if I don't practice on weekdays, every aspect of my body is improving rapidly. I don't know why."

That being said, Li Chengzong actually had some guesses.

Before he had children, he had always viewed the world from a God's perspective. Deep down, he did not consider himself a member of this world.

However, after knowing that he had a child, his mentality changed, and for the first time he truly realized that he belonged to this world.

Perhaps because of his change in mentality, he was no longer rejected by this world. Even without practicing, the Heaven and Earth Furnace Sutra would operate on its own.

It sounds a bit mysterious, but Li Chengzong's intuition tells him that this is the reason.

Emperor Qing was speechless. How could it be related to the child? If it was really related to the child, he would have broken through long ago.

Seeing Emperor Qing's expression, Li Chengzong was too lazy to explain and said with a smile: "In fact, weapons and the like are just your excuses. In the final analysis, you want to find the temple to seek immortality."

Emperor Qing did not refute, and said quietly: "Who in the world doesn't want to live forever?"

"If the temple really has the secret of immortality, what do you think the price is?"

Emperor Qing was simply stunned.

"No, you don't think it costs anything, do you?"

Li Chengzong was speechless and said, "If, I mean, if the temple really has the art of immortality, why would they teach you? Just because you are a mortal emperor? Come on, even the Grand Master doesn't take you seriously, not to mention that he has lived for tens of millions of years, so he must have paid something important, at least he should have freedom, otherwise, how could the temple have existed for so many years, and there are only a few messengers walking in the world."

Seeing Emperor Qing's puzzled expression, Li Chengzong chuckled again and said, "Don't talk about robbing, that would only make me laugh at you. After thousands of years, even a pig would become a spirit, and you still want to steal things from others?!"

"You have no interest in the temple at all?"

"not interested."

This is the truth, Li Chengzong really has no interest in temples.

Firstly, he knew that the temple was actually a military museum. Secondly, he would go to the next world sooner or later. There was no need to get to the bottom of this world. It was enough as long as he lived comfortably.

Whoever wants to explore the secrets of the temple can do so, he is not interested anyway.

Emperor Qing could tell that his son was speaking from the heart, so he remained silent, his eyes becoming confused.

However, not long after, Emperor Qing's eyes became firm again, and he snorted, "It's up to you. Anyway, you have been disobedient since you were a child, and I am used to it. As long as you can protect the inheritance of my Qing royal family, it will be fine."

"Don't worry about that. As long as I am alive, Qing Kingdom belongs to our Li family." Li Chengzong said with a grin.

Emperor Qing opened his mouth but said nothing and started reading the poem that Fan Xian had plagiarized.

Soon, Eunuch Hou came in.

"Your Majesty, Third Prince."

Li Chengzong waved his hand in response to Eunuch Hou's salute.

Emperor Qing asked, "Did you send Fan Xian back home?"

"This old servant specifically told Si Nanbo about Master Fan's drunken poetry today, and Master Fan has been settled."

Emperor Qing was still looking at the poems in his hand, and said calmly: "There are so many poems, your hands must be sore from copying them."

Eunuch Hou smiled and said, "Now that my dynasty has produced a literary legend, this is a rare and happy event. Even if this hand is broken, I am still happy in my heart!"

"Ugh!"

Emperor Qing sighed, and thinking of Fan Xian's previous performance in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, a sense of guilt suddenly emerged in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Your Majesty, are you tired?"

Emperor Qing shook his head and said, "I am just sighing. Our Great Qing Kingdom was founded on military power, and is far inferior to Qi in terms of civil governance. This is something that the late emperor has always been worried about."

"Today, Tianyouqing Kingdom has produced the poetry god Xiao Fan."

"Poetry God?"

Emperor Qing emphasized his tone. "I think his eyes are blank."

Having said that, one can clearly sense an indescribable pride in Emperor Qing's tone.

Eunuch Hou smiled silently. Although he was not like Fan Jian who grew up with Emperor Qing, he was still very clear about some things.

For example: Fan Xian’s true identity.

Whenever he saw Fan Xian in a carefree and unrestrained state, he was very envious. Although it was something he could not envy, Fan Xian's carefree and unrestrained state made him inevitably feel closer to Fan Xian.

Emperor Qing changed the subject and said with a smile, "This poem is indeed well written, but I have always wondered if he wrote it himself. Li Chengzong just said that Fan Xian copied it. What do you think?"

"This……"

Eunuch Hou was in a dilemma. Although he was close to Fan Xian, he was not willing to refute Li Chengzong for Fan Xian.

"No, I didn't say Fan Xian plagiarized it. He said it himself. I just believed what he said."

"Isn't that what you said he copied?"

"There's a difference between what I say and what I believe in him."

Li Chengzong yawned and stood up, saying, "It's getting late now. You should go to bed early. I should go back and tell stories to my daughter."

Emperor Qing was stunned and asked in confusion: "Where did you get your daughter?"

"The baby in Si Lili's belly is my daughter."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Qing said dissatisfiedly.

Li Chengzong responded with a remark that favored boys over girls, bowed slightly, and then left the imperial study.

It was a coincidence that on the way back home, I met Hong Sixiang and Wuzhu.

Thinking that Wuzhu was a robot and that Hong Sixiang was fine, Li Chengzong lost interest in chasing him and fighting.

Tonight is destined to be restless.

After tonight, Kyoto will be in turmoil.

But as long as the people around him are fine, what does the situation in Kyoto have to do with him!
