Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 195 Emperor Qing uses himself as bait?

Upon hearing this, Leng Feibai's lips twitched involuntarily, and he raised his hand to deliver a sharp rap on the forehead.

Fan Xian clutched his head in pain and squatted down.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Qing's anger vanished instantly. He sighed and said, "Fan Xian, come with me to Mount Dadong in a few days. I entrust my safety to you then."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, do you really have to perform the sacrificial ceremony at Mount Dadong? The Crown Prince is about to be deposed. If you leave the capital at this time, what if something unexpected happens..."

"What, are you afraid someone will rebel in Kyoto!"

Emperor Qing sneered and said, "I want to see if Li Chengze and Li Chengqian have the guts."

"With His Majesty's divine might, they naturally wouldn't dare."

Seeing this, Fan Xian loudly advised, "What I am more worried about is whether Ku He and Si Gu Jian will take the opportunity to attack Your Majesty. Ye Liuyun's whereabouts are currently unknown. If Eunuch Hong is facing two opponents, he will hardly have a chance of winning."

"It doesn't matter!"

Looking at Fan Xian, Emperor Qing calmly said, "I have brought three thousand elite Imperial Guards, all of whom are sixth to seventh-rank experts. There are also various experts from the Surveillance Bureau and five hundred Black Riders. In addition, there are one hundred Tiger Guards trained by Fan Jian. These people together are enough to protect us. My Chief Inspector, are you satisfied?"

Fan Xian's lips twitched, and he turned to Leng Feibai, saying, "Brother, can you give me some advice? Are these people enough?"

"If all nine ranks of the world, excluding myself, were to arrive, perhaps we could hold them off."

Leng Feibai said calmly, "But if it's a Grandmaster, all these people combined wouldn't be enough for Si Gu Jian to kill alone. Not to mention Ku He and the one-eyed old man who attacked His Majesty before."

Fan Xian's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he turned to advise, "Your Majesty, the gap in strength between you and a Grandmaster cannot be bridged by numbers. You should..."

"I have made up my mind!"

Emperor Qing rebuked him, "Just do what you're supposed to do."

Fan Xian wanted to persuade him further, but Leng Feibai put his arm around his shoulder.

The next moment, a large hand grabbed Fan Xian by the neck and threw him away.

"elder brother!"

Fan Xian quickly used his Cloud Steps to stabilize himself and stood on the open ground.

"Go do what you're supposed to do."

Leng Feibai said calmly, "I'd like to speak with His Majesty."

Fan Xian wanted to step forward and offer some advice, but Leng Feibai suddenly grabbed his rattan cane, which made him abandon his idea in an instant.

Watching Fan Xian leave, Leng Feibai put away his cane and calmly began to act, "Only now do I understand what Your Majesty wants to do."

"Oh"

Emperor Qing calmly asked, "What do you think I want to do?"

"Use yourself as bait to lure other grandmasters into the trap."

Leng Feibai raised his head and looked in the direction of Mount Dadong, saying, "If nothing unexpected happens, the four Grandmasters will be buried in Mount Dadong. I am right."

"Well said."

Emperor Qing coughed twice more. "You should have known long ago that the fourth Grandmaster is me. Now that my life is coming to an end, I must take Ku He and Si Gu Jian with me before I die. In this way, it will be much easier for the people who come after me to unify the world."

Leng Feibai nodded after hearing this and said, "I greatly admire Your Majesty's determination. It's just a pity that I haven't recovered yet, otherwise I should go to Mount Dadong with Your Majesty."

Looking at Leng Feibai, Emperor Qing's face showed a hint of calm as he asked, "Leng Feibai, have you truly fallen from your cultivation level?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Leng Feibai's face remained unchanged, and he calmly said, "This concerns my own life and death; how can I lie about it?"

"never mind!"

Emperor Qing sighed and said, "You should have read those four imperial edicts. Regardless of whether you've fallen in cultivation level or not, you should understand that I will not kill you!"

"I have only read the first two volumes!"

Leng Feibai calmly said, "I did not..."

"You can take a look later!"

Emperor Qing continued, "Anyway, from now on, the Great Qing will belong to you and Fan Xian."

After speaking, Emperor Qing rose to leave. "Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, Leng Feibai stood up and said, "I would like to trouble you with a matter!"

Emperor Qing turned around and gestured for Leng Feibai to speak.

"If His Majesty needs Fan Xian to return to the capital immediately during the sacrificial ceremony..."

Leng Feibai said in a deep voice, "I request Your Majesty to allow Gao Da and Wang Qinian to travel together, which would also provide some assistance to Fan Xian!"

"can!"

Emperor Qing said calmly, "In exchange, you must promise me that you will ensure that every single word of those four imperial edicts reaches the ears of the people of the world!"

"Your subject guarantees it!"

Leng Feibai remained expressionless, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Emperor Qing, and turned to leave the garden.

Whether his promises are true or false, only God knows.

At the entrance to the garden, Fan Xian looked at Leng Feibai, who had just come out, with a look of impatience.

"elder brother!"

Fan Xian couldn't help but say, "Isn't there any way to persuade His Majesty again? He's here..."

"You've known His Majesty for a long time; once he's made a decision, no one can change it!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he patted Fan Xian on the shoulder and then returned to his courtyard.

At this moment, Sang Wen was sitting in her room, happily doing needlework.

"Sang Wen!"

Leng Feibai entered the room, looking distressed, and said, "Didn't Grandma already find an embroiderer? Why did you have to..."

"My husband, this is my child!"

Sang Wen said with a shy smile, "What mother doesn't sew new clothes for her child?"

Seeing Sang Wen's appearance, Leng Feibai sighed and said, "Then you should take more rest and not overwork yourself!"

Hearing Leng Feibai's sudden words of concern, Sang Wen realized something and quickly asked, "Husband, are you going on a long trip?"

"Ok!"

Leng Feibai nodded. "His Majesty has decreed that I return to the capital to take care of some business. I should be back in the capital in two months at the latest!"

"Then there's no way!"

Sang Wen put down her embroidery and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for my husband to return in Danzhou. Why don't you bring Sister Haitang back with you then?"

"Ok!"

Leng Feibai said calmly, "Wait for me in Danzhou. I'll be back with Duoduo soon!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai stepped forward and pecked Sang Wen on the forehead, telling him to take a rest before heading to Old Madam Fan's room.

After listening to Leng Feibai finish his report, Grandma Fan couldn't help but sigh, and then asked, "Feibai, tell Grandma the truth, how is your health?"

Leng Feibai looked around and, making sure that only Grandma Fan and Lin Wan'er, who had been chatting with Grandma Fan, were in the room, stepped forward and said, "Grandma, don't worry, it's not difficult for your grandson to kill a bull with one punch now!"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Fan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Remember, be careful in everything you do. You can't let your unborn child lose its father!"

"My grandson understands!"

Leng Feibai knelt down on both knees, "Then your grandson is off, Grandma, take care!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai stood up and looked at Lin Wan'er beside him, saying, "Sister-in-law, please take care of Grandma and Sang Wen. Don't worry, I will take good care of Uncle and Da Bao!"

Lin Wan'er nodded after hearing this and said, "Then Fei Bai, please be careful. Since His Majesty has troubled you to go to the capital, it means that this matter must be quite significant."

Leng Feibai nodded, turned and walked out.
