Upon hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the two women, but they were mostly shocked and curious.

Seeing the two women's shocked expressions, Li Chengtian smiled and said:

"Alright, snap out of it. I've been cultivating for so many days and I'm a bit dirty. I need to take a bath. You two, come with me."

After saying that, Li Chengtian walked towards the palace. The two women exchanged a glance, both seeing shyness in each other's eyes.

Soon, they arrived at the bathroom, where there was a huge bathtub with crystal-clear water that was steaming.

Without saying a word, Li Chengtian took off his clothes and jumped into the bath, enjoying the warm water.

The two women stood to the side, somewhat at a loss, unsure of what to do.

Seeing the two women's embarrassed expressions, Li Chengtian smiled and said:

"What are you all standing there for? Come and help me scrub my back!"

The two women snapped out of their daze upon hearing the word "bath," and then, as if remembering something, their cheeks flushed red.

But he obediently followed Li Chengtian into the bath.

Other Lu Zi are not allowed to write.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. Li Chengtian woke up early and looked at the two sleeping women beside him with a gentle smile on his face.

He carefully got up, afraid of disturbing their sweet dreams.

However, the ninth-rank martial artist, Haitang Duoduo, still keenly noticed the subtle sounds of Li Chengtian putting on his clothes.

She gently opened her eyes and saw Li Chengtian's strong physique and handsome face.

She couldn't help but recall the passionate moment last night, and her cheeks flushed slightly.

She said softly, "Your Majesty, let me help you change your clothes."

Upon hearing Haitang Duoduo's words, Li Chengtian smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying:

"No need, you need to rest more."

I will be returning to the court today. You and Dou Dou will remain in Northern Qi for the time being.

After some time, I will send an envoy to welcome you both.

"After all, you two are respectively the Empress and the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, and I should give you the respect and ceremony you deserve."

After saying this, Li Chengtian quickly and skillfully dressed himself, then quietly left the palace and disappeared into the dawn.

As Haitang Duoduo listened to Li Chengtian's words, a feeling of joy welled up in her heart.

She knew that this was Li Chengtian's way of showing respect and care for them, and it also demonstrated the importance of their relationship.

She lay quietly in bed, reminiscing about the wonderful time of the previous night and looking forward to the day when she could reunite with Li Chengtian again.

When Li Chengtian appeared outside the palace, Zheng Qiankun had been waiting for a long time.

He stood respectfully, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

Upon meeting Li Chengtian, Zheng Qiankun immediately reported:

"Your Majesty, the 100,000-strong central army returning to the capital is now ready outside the city and can set off at any time."

After listening to Zheng Qiankun's words, Li Chengtian nodded slightly in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll head back to the capital first. I'll leave everything here in Northern Qi to you."

Also, remember to protect my two beloved concubines.

Li Chengtian's voice was calm yet powerful, revealing his trust in Zheng Qiankun.

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Zheng Qiankun felt a surge of responsibility and mission.

He quickly assured them:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly not disappoint you." His tone was firm, and his eyes were full of loyalty and determination.

After listening to Zheng Qiankun's words, Li Chengtian nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that Zheng Qiankun was a reliable subject who would do his best to complete the task.

So, he stopped talking to Zheng Qiankun and disappeared from the spot.

When he reappeared, Li Chengtian had already arrived at the city gate.

Ye Zhongzheng led his 100,000-strong central army, standing in neat rows, waiting.

Their morale was high, their armor was gleaming, and their weapons were sharp.

Upon seeing Li Chengtian, Ye Zhong immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully said:

"Greetings, Your Majesty." His voice was loud and clear, filled with awe.

Li Chengtian nodded slightly and asked in a steady tone:

"Are all preparations for returning to the capital complete?"

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's question, Ye Zhong immediately responded respectfully:

"Your Majesty, everything is ready and awaits your command."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengtian didn't waste any words. He nimbly leaped onto his horse, settling firmly on it, and said in a resolute voice:

"In that case, let's set off immediately!"

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's command, Ye Zhong immediately responded:

"Yes!" Immediately afterward, he swiftly stood up, flipped onto his horse, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Return to the capital in triumph!"

As Ye Zhong's roar resounded, the 100,000-strong army outside the city sprang into action. They were orderly and their steps were firm and powerful. With the joy of victory and the longing for their hometown, they embarked on their journey home.

Chapter 90: Twenty Grandmasters from the Temple Attacked Li Chengtian, and Were All Killed

After a long journey of more than ten days, Fan Xian's envoys from Daqing finally arrived in the capital city.

As the city gates slowly opened, a burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Guo Youzhi, Minister of Rites, and Fan Jian, Minister of Revenue, appeared at the city gate to personally welcome the victorious delegation.

Fan Xian sat in the carriage, his heart pounding with excitement.

He couldn't wait to tell his father that he had successfully completed the important task assigned to him by His Majesty.

When he saw Fan Jian, he immediately jumped off the carriage, ran to his father's side, his eyes gleaming with excitement, and said:

"Father, I have completed the task His Majesty assigned me."

However, Fan Jian was initially happy to see his son return, but his face instantly darkened after hearing Fan Xian's words.

He frowned and questioned in a serious tone:

"You have the nerve to say that? You asked the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi to test the waters for you. Tell me, what exactly were you testing the waters for?!"

Upon hearing his father's reprimand, Fan Xian's previously excited expression suddenly turned awkward.

He hadn't expected his father to care so much about this, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

A look of helplessness and confusion crossed his face, and he secretly regretted his rash behavior.

Just then, Wang Qinian noticed the tense atmosphere and quickly stepped forward, walking to Fan Jian's side with a big smile, trying to ease the situation.

He smiled and explained:

"Minister Fan, please don't be angry. Lord Fan was only saying this because he had no choice but to do so in order to complete the task assigned by His Majesty."

Fan Jian's expression softened slightly after hearing Wang Qinian's words, but he still looked displeased.

He glared at Fan Xian and said:

"No matter what, what you're doing is too risky."

If it weren't for the Azure Dragon Society's guidance, you would probably be dead by now, you know that?

"In the future, you should consider the consequences more carefully and not be so impulsive."

Just then, Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, saw the scene of "550" and rushed over to help Fan Xian explain:

"Minister Fan, let's just forget about it!"

Fan Xian has made a great contribution to Daqing this time, no matter what.

Besides, now that His Majesty has defeated Northern Qi, there's no need to dwell on this matter anymore.

When Fan Xian and the others heard that Li Chengtian had already conquered Northern Qi, they all stared in astonishment.

"what?

Has Your Majesty already conquered Northern Qi?

This speed is too fast!

We've only just returned to China!

Guo Youzhi, seeing the astonished delegation, couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Ha ha!
