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

"Your Highness?"

The soldiers under Li Changqing were stunned by the news.

All the officials knelt to welcome them?

Those heroes of the martial arts world never dreamed that such a grand occasion would occur.

Although they were all incredibly powerful and carefree in the martial arts world.

Even when they meet officials or even the emperor of the Great Zhou, they only need to bow to him, given their powerful martial arts skills.

But that was all due to their martial arts prowess, not because they were actually better than those officials.

Overall, everyone's status is similar, and some officials even have a higher status.

After all, they held real power, and they could borrow the military might of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They have a really strong background!

Are these people also able to benefit from the Prince of Qinghe's honor and enjoy the same reception as all the officials?

Regardless of what Li Changqing thought.

The imperial court had already made all the arrangements, so Li Changqing had no choice but to cooperate.

He couldn't just leave all the civil and military officials waiting there, could he?

Li Changqing rode his horse to the front of the group.

When they were still a mile away from the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qin, Li Changqing dismounted on his own initiative.

The other soldiers followed suit.

The Crown Prince and the King of Qin are rulers, but the princes are ultimately just subjects.

Even the Prince of Qinghe dared not ride a horse and had to walk to show respect.

They were even more afraid to ride horses.

Li Changqing led his troops a few hundred steps and then saw the Crown Prince and the Prince of Qin.

The Crown Prince, dressed in an eight-dragon robe, approached Li Changqing with a smile: "Nephew! You truly are a fine son of the Li family. You have brought honor to our family this time."

"Uncle, I am truly flattered by your words. This battle was largely thanks to the bravery of our soldiers and the help of our friends in the martial world. But the decisive factor was none other than Lord Xie."

Xie Xiaoyao personally went to Beimo City and blocked the statue of the Great Shaman of the Grassland.

That's how they were able to achieve a great victory.

Otherwise, we still wouldn't know the outcome of the battle.

"Are the grassland people so despicable that even the Supreme Being has personally intervened?"

The King of Qin shook his head, "If it weren't for Lord Xie receiving orders in advance to rush over and provide support just in case,..."

They might actually let the steppe people and the Jin Dynasty succeed.

The King of Qin was completely baffled as to what the great shaman's purpose was in doing this.

Even if they briefly achieved victory and captured Beimo City, with a supreme being personally involved, that's enough.

Once the Great Zhou realizes what's happening, they will also send their supreme ruler to retaliate.

When they retaliate, they will be even more ruthless than the Great Shaman.

This is a tacit understanding between supreme beings, and it's impossible for a great shaman not to know this.

Why did that old guy do that?

"Father is right!"

The Crown Prince and Prince Qin naturally do not need to kneel. Regardless of their seniority or status, Li Changqing would never allow them to kneel.

Other officials were not spared either; this time, even martial artists at the Grandmaster level were not spared.

Only those at the Free and Unfettered Realm and the Great Free and Unfettered Realm can accept this offer.

Although not everyone knelt in worship, this was still a rare moment of solemnity since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Prince of Qinghe was at the height of his fame.

Although Li Changqing had promised Li Zheng that he would not interfere in the struggle for the throne between the Prince of Qin and the Crown Prince.

But it's clear to everyone that the power of the Qin Prince's faction has increased significantly.

Even if Li Changqing doesn't express his support, he is still a member of the Prince of Qin's mansion.

The greater his achievements and the greater his power, the higher the probability that the King of Qin will succeed in seizing the throne.

Those civil and military officials weren't fools. Seeing that the King of Qin's chances of winning were getting bigger and bigger, they naturally became biased.

When Li Changqing approached the Minister of Justice, he took the initiative to help the old man up and returned a deep bow.

He was Luo Qingqing's maternal grandfather, so Li Changqing naturally couldn't accept such a grand gesture from him.

This scene was also witnessed by many people.

It is said that the Prince of Qinghe is currently at the height of his power, and even the Duke of Qi's mansion is preparing to arrange a marriage between his eldest daughter and him.

Almost everyone believed that with a marriage alliance like the Duke of Qi's family, the Ministry of Justice's mansion would definitely be out of the running.

Even if the marriage doesn't fall through in the end, Luo Qingqing will probably only be a concubine and will never become a princess.

But to everyone's surprise, Li Changqing only took charge of the Minister of Justice and not the Duke of Qi.

That would have a very different meaning.

Not to mention others, even Wang Guodong himself stared at Li Changqing with great surprise.

"Is Qingqing alright?"

"Okay, very good."

Wang Guodong suppressed his surprise and responded with a smile.

It seems that Qingqing's position is still quite secure.

Is it merely to make the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi's family a concubine?

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, nothing so absurd has ever happened.

I wonder if his grandson-in-law can handle this?

That's the supreme being!

Li Changqing ignored everyone else and waited until the King of Qin and the Crown Prince left before mounting his warhorse again.

He and his three thousand soldiers and more than two hundred heroes rode through the streets on horseback.

People were clearing the way for the army from both the front and rear.

Even the parade of the top scholar in the imperial examinations never witnessed such a grand spectacle.

Because of the overwhelming aura of the army, no young lady dared to drop her purse at this time.

On this day, Prince Li Changqing of Qinghe was in the limelight.

Although the girls didn't lose their purses, many of them secretly fell in love with him after seeing his handsome appearance.

Those topics that were previously considered rumors now seem not entirely impossible.

How could an ordinary imperial grandson compare to such a Prince of Qinghe?

No wonder even the Duke of Qi's mansion and the Marquis of Xiaoyao's mansion were tempted to form a marriage alliance with the Prince of Qinghe.

A grand banquet was held in the palace, where 3000 soldiers and more than 200 heroes were received by the emperor.

After the banquet ended, Emperor Li Zheng of the Great Zhou Dynasty specially summoned Li Changqing to his side.

"I am in a good mood today, so Qing'er will keep me company. You may all leave now."

As a dutiful grandson of the emperor, Li Changqing naturally wouldn't refuse.

The father and son continued their journey without stopping, until they reached the forbidden area of ​​the palace.

Not a single palace maid could be seen.

Li Zheng, who had been drunk and looked somewhat old, suddenly exuded a powerful aura.

The entire palace instantly became his domain.

Do not!

It should be said that the entire city of Kyoto became his domain.

His eyes were fixed on Li Changqing as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"My dear grandson, your health is truly remarkable. Would you be willing to offer it to your imperial grandfather?"

As he spoke, he reached out with one hand to grab Li Changqing's throat.

This is not a half-step supreme being, but a supreme being's martial arts realm.

Li Changqing's face turned deathly pale.

He hadn't been unaware that something unexpected might happen.

But he never expected that this unexpected turn of events would come from Li Zheng.

Seeing that the large hand was about to grab his throat, Li Changqing held nothing back, and his aura rose steadily.

Enjoy life!

Great freedom!

Half-step to supreme power!!

Martial Arts Supreme!!!
