Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Border rioters have attacked the border. In order to protect the peace and security of the country, Prince Li Changqing of Qinghe is hereby appointed as the Marshal of the Northern Frontier to protect the border and the people."

When Li Changqing received the imperial decree at the Prince of Qin's residence, he was completely stunned.

He casually picked up the imperial edict and asked the eunuch delivering it with a curious look, "How many men does His Majesty command me to bring?"

"His Majesty didn't say."

"How many Grandmasters? How many Free and Unfettered Realm experts has His Majesty bestowed upon me?"

"His Majesty didn't say."

"How much grain, supplies, and horses did His Majesty provide me?"

Even the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree was embarrassed. He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

"His Majesty didn't say."

Li Changqing burst out laughing.

He discovered that people can actually laugh when they are speechless.

"Then please tell me, sir, what did His Majesty say?"

"His Majesty said that everything is up to Your Highness, and Your Highness can take whomever you wish. However, His Majesty reminded Your Highness that the Grand General is in charge at the front lines, and Your Highness should only deal with those at the Free and Unfettered Realm and Grandmaster levels. Don't let them run rampant..."

To put it bluntly, it's about sending Li Changqing there to keep things under control.

Among the hundreds of experts in the Free and Unfettered Realm, how many are at the Great Free and Unfettered Realm? Are there even any at the Half-Step Supreme Realm?

Everything is unknown.

"I can't handle this all by myself. If necessary, could you send some of the palace's retainers?"

"His Majesty said that the prince should figure out a solution himself. Being a king in the underworld is not an easy task."

After saying this, the eunuch lowered his head so low it was almost buried in the ground. He felt he had discovered some incredible secret.

Will he never see the sun rise tomorrow?

But in fact, he knew nothing.

again!

Li Changqing was so angry he laughed.

He had just been taught a lesson by the Princess of Qin not long ago. If it were just him, let alone his current cultivation level...

Even if Li Changqing is Xiaoyao, the Great Xiaoyao.

He can go anywhere in the world, and he will never have to worry about money in this lifetime.

But if he wanted to secretly control the entire Great Zhou and become a true underground monarch.

He can't do it alone; he needs to recruit helpers.

To paraphrase a great man, he must make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible.

This is the only way to ensure victory.

Prince Qin, Li Yuanhao, frowned and casually dismissed the eunuch who had delivered the decree. Then he asked Li Changqing, "Does Father mean you can handle this yourself?"

Given Li Zheng's favor towards Li Changqing, it's impossible for him to assign Li Changqing a task he couldn't complete.

This is precisely what Li Yuanhao finds most unbelievable.

Even if his son had the cultivation level of the Great Freedom Realm, it would be impossible for him to deal with thousands of Grandmasters and hundreds of Freedom Realm experts at the border at the same time.

Let alone the Great Free Spirit, even a half-step Supreme would be torn to shreds by those people.

To be honest, with the manpower he currently controls, even if he called upon all the sects in the martial arts world that had pledged allegiance to him, he could still manage to bring them all together.

Faced with so many martial arts masters, the Qin Prince's Mansion was completely overwhelmed.

How could Li Changqing possibly have so many people?

"Qing'er, is there something you're hiding from your father?"

Upon hearing Li Yuanhao's question, Li Changqing was momentarily at a loss for words.

After spending this time together, he had come to understand his father better. If His Highness the Prince of Qin knew of Li Changqing's strength, he would probably run to the palace right now and drag his grandfather off the throne.

Li Changqing had previously promised Li Zheng that he would not interfere in the struggle for the throne.

This is not only to give the Crown Prince an opportunity, but also to give His Highness the Prince of Qin more experience and training.

He couldn't stop his grandfather's love for his son.

"Grandfather probably thought that with the Golden Dragon Hero around, he could help his son gather some manpower."

Even Li Changqing himself didn't quite believe it, let alone Li Yuanhao.

But His Highness the King of Qin keenly sensed that this was not a question he could ask.

There must be some kind of unspoken understanding between a son and his father.

"Do you need the Prince's mansion to help? Your father still has some influence and can help you find some people. But there won't be many experts, so you should be prepared."

"Forget it, Father, you don't need to worry. I'll figure something out myself."

The King of Qin used what he was most proud of as his trump card.

Before he and the Crown Prince had even settled their score, Li Changqing had already revealed all the trump cards his father had been hiding.

That would be incredibly unfilial.

Li Changqing eventually gave up on this idea and began to consider the manpower he could use.

"Brother, immediately send orders to the World Society and the Beggars' Sect..."

Li Changqing arrived at the headquarters of the World Society and instructed Li Changsheng: "Have the local World Society and Beggars' Sect write invitations to the local aristocratic families, sects, and nobles. Ask them to send experts to Beimo City."

"In whose name?"

Li Changsheng frowned.

"The Beggars' Sect's post was written in the name of Golden Dragon Hero Chen Changfeng. The World Society's post was written in the name of Prince Qinghe."

Upon hearing this request, Li Changsheng fell silent.

"Grandmasters and those at the Free and Unfettered Realm are the trump cards of noble families, clans, and sects. They're never sent out normally. How confident are you?"

"I don't know about the others, but these next few are of utmost importance; they should be sending people."

Which companies?

Li Changsheng adopted a posture of listening attentively.

"The Duke of Qi's Mansion, the Marquis of Xiaoyao's Mansion, the Marquis of Sanyang's Mansion, the Nangong Family, the Wang Family, and the Cui Family."

"The Cui family, the most powerful in the land, and the Wang family, who control half of Jiangnan?"

Li Changsheng had obviously heard of these two prominent families.

Although there are many powerful and influential families in the Great Zhou Dynasty, who is the strongest?

That must be Cui from the North and Wang from the South.

The Cui family was the most prominent family in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was also known as the number one family in the world.

You should know that it is the best in the world, not the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Wang family claimed to control half of the Jiangnan region of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Changqing had only been back in Kyoto for a little over a year, and there had never been any news of him having any connection with these two powerful families.

"Go ahead, brother, they'll send someone."

How many can be dispatched exactly?

Li Changqing really wasn't very confident.

But with Princess Qin's advice, Li Changqing ultimately decided to test the waters. He wanted to see just how much these families were willing to invest in a marriage alliance.

At the same time, I also want to see how much they are willing to invest in the World Society.

At this point, Li Changqing didn't actually want them to send many people.

According to Li Changqing, the fewer those power-hungry people there are, the better.

The fact that they sent so few people shows that they didn't understand the value of the World Society at all.

Li Changqing could try to cancel the marriage alliance and focus on cooperation instead.

"In Kyoto, my elder brother will send messages to the residences of those nobles. As for the Qi family, I will go personally."

Both are supreme beings.

The Xiaoyao Marquis's residence was far away in Jiangnan, so Li Changqing naturally couldn't make a special trip there. However, the Qi State Duke's residence was in the capital, so he had to go there no matter what.
