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

Moreover, there are two Grandmasters in the Imperial Palace. If the Azure Dragon Society wants to attack our Oversight Council headquarters, they will surely die a miserable death in our Southern Qing capital city.

In addition, our Fifth Bureau of the Censorate has 50,000 Black Cavalry, an elite force that I think your Northern Qi should know all too well how strong it is.

If the Azure Dragon Society dares to actually attack the Supervisory Council outside our Southern Qing capital, then they will face an encirclement and annihilation by our three Grandmasters and 5 Black Riders.

Fan Xian's words exploded in the air like thunder.

His serious expression and firm tone conveyed the power and authority of Nanqing.

"As for your suggestion of marrying the princess to us in order to form an alliance with Nanqing, I need to go back and discuss it with the other envoys before I can make a decision."

Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, Haitang Duoduo's anger was instantly ignited and burned fiercely.

She glared at Fan Xian with wide eyes and a face full of anger, cursing inwardly, "This despicable guy, how dare he look down on Northern Qi, treating them like a soft persimmon that he can manipulate at will."

"What do you mean by not appearing in your Southern Qing, but appearing in our Northern Qi?"

What do you mean by "an uncertain factor for our Northern Qi"? If you can destroy their Embroidered Uniform Guard, then you're no different from your Southern Qing.

"Besides, does the fact that your Southern Qing has three grandmasters make you so great?"

These words kept echoing in Haitang Duoduo's mind, filling her with anger and resentment.

She felt extremely insulted and provoked, but she was unable to refute it.

Because she knew that Fan Xian was right. The Southern Qing Dynasty was now very powerful, with two Grandmasters guarding the palace and experts like Ye Liuyun roaming the countryside.

With the addition of 50,000 elite Black Riders, the Azure Dragon Society certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly in Nanqing.

However, Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but glare fiercely at Fan Xian. She secretly made up her mind to teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

At this moment, seeing Haitang Duoduo's angry but speechless expression, Fan Xian's lips curled up slightly, revealing a subtle smile.

He thought to himself, "Haha, this woman is angry."

However, I have a Grandmaster secretly protecting me, so I'm not afraid of her at all.

Then, without hesitation, he clasped his hands in farewell to Haitang Duoduo and said that he was going back to the post station to rest.

Haitang Duoduo stared intently at Fan Xian's departing figure, muttered a few angry curses under her breath, and then turned and walked towards the inner hall.

Upon seeing Fan Xian emerge, Wang Qinian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to inquire:

"Young Master Fan, are you alright? Did the Emperor of Northern Qi give you any trouble?"

Fan Xian listened to Wang Qinian's words, a faint smile appearing on his lips, and slowly said:

"I am, after all, an envoy of a country. How could anyone dare to make things difficult for me?"

Moreover, I didn't see the Northern Qi emperor this time. Instead, I was received by a ninth-rank expert who claimed to be the Holy Maiden of Northern Qi.

Upon hearing Fan Xian's words, Shen Zhong showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He knew that this holy maiden of Northern Qi usually stayed in the farm growing vegetables and such, and he never expected that she would come out to meet this envoy Fan this time.

Although somewhat surprised, remembering that he needed to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager as soon as possible, he didn't ask any further questions and directly said to Fan Xian:

"In that case, Envoy Fan, I will now escort you out of the palace!"

Upon hearing Shen Zhong's words, Fan Xian smiled and nodded, replying, "Then I'll have to trouble Commander Shen."

Afterwards, Shen Zhong quickly escorted Fan Xian and the others out of the palace. He himself then hurried towards the Empress Dowager's palace.

After Fan Xian and the other two left the palace and boarded the carriage, Fan Xian, with a faint smile on his face, turned to look at Wang Qinian beside him and said:

"Old Wang! We can now walk around in Northern Qi with impunity, and we no longer have to worry about the Northern Qi royal family using dirty tricks on us like before!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian looked puzzled. He scratched his head and asked, perplexed:

Why are you so sure?

Fan Xian smiled without saying a word. He knew Wang Qinian would ask this question, but he was in no hurry to answer. Instead, he waited for the other party to figure out the answer on his own.

Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, Wang Qinian suddenly realized something. He widened his eyes, looked at Fan Xian with some surprise, and said:

"Could it be because of what you said before, that once we arrive in Northern Qi, a mysterious force will assist us in completing our mission?"

Fan Xian nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile:

"That's right, that's the reason."

Wang Qinian immediately became excited and asked eagerly:

"So, has Lord Fan already made contact with that force?"

Fan Xian shook his head and answered with a smile:

"Not yet. But you must have heard about the killing of Jinyiwei officers of the rank of centurion or above in the capital, right?"

Wang Qinian's eyes widened, a profound shock washing over him. He tentatively asked:

"Could this be...?"

Fan Xian nodded calmly, indicating his approval.

When Wang Qinian heard from Fan Xian that the Northern Qi Imperial Guards had been wiped out, he was utterly astonished. He never imagined that the force that had cooperated with them on this mission would be so powerful.

Northern Qi Imperial Palace.

With a heavy heart, Shen Zhong stepped into the Empress Dowager's palace.

He walked with steady and powerful steps, each step carrying a heavy weight.

Da da da……

Soon, Shen Zhong arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, gently pushed open the door, and went inside.

Your humble servant greets the Empress Dowager.

Shen Zhong knelt down respectfully to pay his respects, his voice low and solemn.

The Empress Dowager sat on the bed, her brows slightly furrowed, looking at the minister she had always trusted and relied on. She gently waved her hand, signaling him to stand up.

My dear subject, rise!

After hearing this, Shen Zhong slowly stood up. He straightened his posture and looked at the Empress Dowager with a firm gaze.

Your Majesty, while I was away, did something significant happen in the capital? Even the number of palace guards is several times greater than usual!

Upon hearing Shen Zhong's words, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi sighed deeply, her eyes revealing a hint of worry and helplessness.

My dear minister, you must have heard about what happened at your Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters last night!

Shen nodded, his expression turning serious.

Your Majesty has indeed heard about it, but this matter should not affect the safety of the palace.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi slowly stood up and said in a heavy tone: "What if the person who made the move was a Grandmaster!"

These words struck Shen Zhong like a thunderbolt. His eyes widened as he stared at the Empress Dowager in disbelief.

Upon hearing the words "Grandmaster," Shen Zhong's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with disbelief. His lips trembled slightly as he murmured to himself:

"A Grandmaster...? How is that possible? How could a Grandmaster possibly appear in the capital city!"

His eyes were filled with shock and confusion, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

Shen Zhong was shocked and finally understood why the number of guards in the palace had increased so much.

After all, a Grandmaster is a force to be reckoned with, capable of single-handedly challenging an entire nation. If this Grandmaster were to attack their imperial palace, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Immediately afterward, Shen Zhong seemed to suddenly remember something, and said anxiously to the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi:

"Empress Dowager, please send someone immediately to invite Grandmaster Kuhe back to guard the palace! Only with him here can the safety of the palace be guaranteed."

After hearing Shen Zhong's words, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi nodded solemnly and said firmly:

"I sent someone to invite Grandmaster Kuhe last night, but time is of the essence, and I don't know if he can return in time."

Her face showed worry and unease, clearly indicating that she was very wary of the arrival of this mysterious grandmaster.

Shen Zhong frowned, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly realized something, and his expression became even more unpleasant.

He looked at the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi and said in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, we must find a way to deal with this as soon as possible."

Now, all that remains of our Northern Qi are the Imperial Guard officers in the capital; the Imperial Guards in other regions have been wiped out by that organization called the Azure Dragon Society.

His tone was filled with deep worry, because he knew that without the Jinyiwei, an important intelligence agency, Northern Qi would be in a state of confusion, unable to grasp the enemy's movements and intentions.

This would put Northern Qi in an extremely passive position, facing enormous threats at any time.

Therefore, Shen Zhong believed that the most crucial task at present was to rebuild a powerful Jinyiwei (Imperial Bodyguard) and restore the intelligence network of Northern Qi in order to protect the country's security.

Only in this way can they better cope with the challenges from all sides and protect the Northern Qi dynasty.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the clouds, illuminating the entire capital city.

Today is the day that the Northern Qi Kingdom summons the envoy from the Southern Qing Kingdom, and Fan Xian is that highly anticipated envoy from the Southern Qing Kingdom.

He sat inside the carriage, looking pleased, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

The capital city lifted its curfew this morning, allowing the city to regain some vitality.
