Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

After listening to Fan Xian, Shen Zhong nodded and said:

"I see. Well then, Lord Fan, let's go! His Majesty is probably already waiting for us."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's lips curled into a slight smile, and he said:

"Commander Shen, just lead the way. Don't worry about us falling behind."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhong didn't say anything more and headed straight for the palace.

Before long, Shen Zhong led Fan Xian and the other two to the outside of a grand hall.

Looking at the Imperial Guards on guard around him, and the commander of the Imperial Guards guarding the main hall, Shen Zhong felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart. Something major must have happened in the capital last night.

Otherwise, if the Imperial Guards had been wiped out, the palace wouldn't have been guarded so much more than usual.

Although I was eager to know the truth, I also knew that now was not the time.

So Shen Zhong went directly to the Imperial Guard commander and said:

"Commander Jiang, please go and inform His Majesty that the envoy from Nanqing has arrived."

Jiang Che, the commander of the Imperial Guards, glanced at Fan Xian and the others and nodded, saying:

"Alright! You all wait here, I'll go report." With that, Jiang Che turned and entered the main hall.

After seeing Jiang Che leave, Fan Xian walked up to Shen Zhong and asked with some confusion:

"Commander Shen, the palace defenses are way too exaggerated!"

A guard every five steps, a sentry every ten steps.

It's practically comparable to a military camp on a battlefield!

Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, Shen Zhong truthfully replied:

"Actually, I'm puzzled about it too!"

Even the palace isn't usually guarded this heavily.

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian felt extremely depressed, as he had been preparing to humiliate the Northern Qi royal family!

Damn, the entire palace is so heavily guarded now. If I were to humiliate the Northern Qi royal family again, I'd be chopped into mincemeat in no time!

Just as Fan Xian was feeling down, Jiang Che, the commander of the Imperial Guards, came out and said to Shen Zhong:

"His Majesty has decreed that only a man named Fan Xian be summoned to an audience."

After listening, Shen Zhong glanced at Fan Xian and said:

"Lord Fan, go ahead! We'll wait for you outside."

Wang Qinian and Gao Da looked at Fan Xian with some concern when they heard that only Fan Xian was allowed to have an audience.

Fan Xian smiled and said to the two of them, "It's alright! We are envoys. Even in times of war, envoys are not to be killed!"

Besides, our two countries are not at war right now!

After saying this, Fan Xian walked into the main hall.

Chapter 70 Fan Xian mocks the weakness of Northern Qi, and Haitang Duoduo dares not speak out in anger.

Inside the main hall, Haitang Duoduo stood with her back to the door, her eyes unfocused, her thoughts churning like a surging tide.

She was thinking about how to test the Qing Kingdom's envoys and try to find out their true purpose and intentions.

Da da da da da!

The crisp sound of footsteps suddenly broke the silence, like a stirring symphony.

Haitang Duoduo trembled slightly, snapping out of her reverie.

Fan Xian stepped into the main hall and curiously scanned the surroundings.

His gaze finally settled on a simply dressed figure, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

What's going on? Is the Northern Qi royal family so poor that they can't even afford fine clothes?

However, when Haitang Duoduo turned around, Fan Xian instantly felt a powerful aura.

Fan Xian couldn't help but gasp, secretly marveling, "Wow, this Northern Qi emperor is actually a martial arts master!"

Haitang Duoduo gazed quietly at Fan Xian, noticing his misunderstanding.

A faint smile appeared on her lips.

That smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel warm and comfortable.

Said softly:

"I am not His Majesty, I am the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo."

Fan Xian realized he had misunderstood when he heard what Haitang Duoduo said, and felt a little embarrassed.

He quickly laughed it off, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

However, at that moment, he suddenly had a change of heart, and his eyes became serious.

He stared intently at the crabapple blossoms and asked in a low voice:

"Why did your Northern Qi emperor summon me but then refuse to see me, instead sending you instead? Are you trying to play games with this envoy?"

Haitang Duoduo was taken aback by Fan Xian's rapid change of expression, and secretly thought to herself that this guy was really unpredictable.

She explained:

"Envoy Fan, you have misunderstood."

His Majesty originally intended to see you, but due to the emergence of a mysterious organization in our country—the Azure Dragon Society—they have managed to wipe out all the Imperial Guards and garrisons throughout the country.

This matter has greatly angered His Majesty, and he is currently preoccupied with dealing with it, leaving him no time to attend to you. That is why he has sent me to see you on her behalf.”

When Fan Xian heard Haitang Duoduo mention the Azure Dragon Society, his expression changed drastically, and his heart was filled with shock.

His eyes widened, and he thought to himself in disbelief:

"Holy crap! The Azure Dragon Society... Damn, isn't that the extremely powerful assassin organization from my previous life's novels? How did it appear in this world?"

Then, he remembered the name Mingyue Xin that his father had mentioned to him.

At the time, he thought the name Mingyuexin might just be a coincidence, but now he heard about the Azure Dragon Society again in Northern Qi.

Furthermore, this was combined with what Li Chengtian from the Imperial Study had told him: that someone would assist him once he arrived in Northern Qi.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain that his emperor was probably also a transmigrator, and possibly even a transmigrator with a summoning system.

Thinking of this, he instantly felt miserable. Why is it that we are both transmigrators, but others are so awesome and powerful, while he is so trash!

Just when Fan Xian was feeling miserable, Haitang Duoduo noticed that Fan Xian looked unusual and assumed that he was still feeling slighted because His Majesty had not summoned him.

So he quickly continued:

“Envoy Fan, you have no idea how powerful the Azure Dragon Society is!”

Our Northern Qi's Embroidered Uniform Guard is in no way inferior to your Southern Qing's Censorate!

I've heard that Envoy Fan is also a supervisor in the Southern Qing Censorate, so he should know how difficult it is to wipe out our Northern Qi's Embroidered Uniform Guard in just a few days."

Haitang Duoduo sighed and continued:

"But the Azure Dragon Society is capable of doing that. They are very well hidden in Northern Qi. If it weren't for the massacre of our Northern Qi Imperial Guards, we might not have even discovered the existence of this organization."

Fan Xian also came to his senses at this moment. After hearing Haitang Duoduo's words again, an idea formed in his mind, so he spoke up:

"Your Highness, doesn't your Northern Qi have Grandmaster Ku He? Why not just have the Grandmaster take action?"

Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, Haitang Duoduo gave a wry smile and replied:

"Envoy Fan, you may not know this, but the Azure Dragon Society also has Grandmaster-level experts."

Just last night, a Grandmaster from the Azure Dragon Society, who called himself the All-Knowing Scholar of the Three Dragon Heads, slaughtered all the Imperial Guards of the capital city who were above the rank of centurion.

I suspect that since the Azure Dragon Society has a Grandmaster named Third Dragon Head, then the Second Dragon Head and First Dragon Head, who are ranked higher than him, are probably also Grandmasters.

Therefore, I believe that the Azure Dragon Society is an unstable factor for both our countries!

After all, if they can destroy our Northern Qi's Embroidered Uniform Guard today, then they might take action against your Southern Qing's Censorate tomorrow.

Therefore, His Majesty has decided to marry a princess to your Southern Qing in order to form an alliance and jointly eliminate this uncertain factor, the Azure Dragon Society.

This would be a good thing for both of our countries!

Upon hearing Haitang Duoduo's words, Fan Xian's lips curled into a disdainful smile, like a withered flower swaying in the cold wind. He said indifferently:

"Stop! Your Highness, I disagree with what you just said."

"If the Azure Dragon Society is really as strong as you say, why didn't it emerge in our Southern Qing, but instead appeared in your Northern Qi?" Fan Xian's tone was full of doubt.

"Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Society might be an unpredictable factor for your Northern Qi, capable of destroying your Northern Qi's Embroidered Uniform Guard."

But for us in Nanqing, it's just so-so!

Fan Xian's voice is like a sharp sword, piercing straight to the heart.

His eyes revealed a disdain and confidence, as if he didn't care about the Azure Dragon Society.

"Regardless of whether the Azure Dragon Society truly has three Grandmasters, our Southern Qing does indeed have three Grandmasters."
