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

"The Minister of Justice, isn't that the head of the Ministry of Justice? The Six Doors should be under their jurisdiction..."

After a moment's thought, Li Changqing realized that there was a significant problem here.

The Minister of Justice had already held a high position at least ten years ago.

Throughout the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, in terms of personal power, he might not rank in the top ten, but he would definitely be in the top twenty.

The son-in-law of such a person is also the deputy chief constable of the Six Doors. In a world where martial arts reign supreme, he is able to secure the second-in-command position in the privileged institution of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

That deputy chief constable was at least a Grandmaster, and might even have reached the Free and Unfettered Realm.

This is just one son-in-law, not to mention the others...

Li Changqing could vaguely see the framework of a huge power.

Although Li Changqing didn't know exactly how powerful this force was, or where it ranked in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But he was certain that this force was definitely not small.

The value of being the granddaughter of such a powerful figure is extraordinary.

Ten years ago, or even eleven years ago.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty arranged the marriage, placing such a powerful force in the eldest son of the King of Qin.

Not to mention the crown prince who has already been appointed, even His Highness the Prince of Qin himself probably can't sleep peacefully.

It is said that the emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty were biased.

From Li Changqing's perspective, he believed that the missing thirteenth prince was being excessively favored.

Perhaps it was because he was too pampered that he suffered a misfortune ten years ago.

Originally, Li Changqing thought...

The two brothers who secretly harmed him were most likely adopted by the Princess of Qin and registered as her legitimate son.

After all, his interests clashed most with those two brothers.

But now it seems that Li Changqing's previous guess was probably wrong.

This was most likely not the work of someone from the Qin King's residence.

This explains the previous assassination attempt.

It would be difficult for the two brothers in the Qin Prince's mansion to create an organization similar to Blood Skull. Moreover, considering that Blood Skull has been famous for several years.

The probability that they are the masterminds behind this is naturally even lower.

A few years ago, they were just two little kids around ten years old.

How can one build such influence? And how can one acquire such connections?

Even if the Blood Skull is indeed related to the two of them, they could never be the ones in control.

"The Crown Prince, or one of the other three princes who have a chance to seize the throne?"

Murong Yao glanced at Li Changqing and silently ate the food in front of her.

She discovered that the thirteenth prince she had found was no pushover.

Putting aside the previous assassination attempts, how did they manage to evade them?

The other party's political acumen is something most people don't possess. Shouldn't an ordinary person be excited or even moved to hear they have such a fiancée?

Li Changqing is completely different.

He seemed to have analyzed the political situation of that year through his few words.

But how is that possible?

Even her father, the heir of the Marquis of Sanyang, might not have this kind of insight.

Only her maternal grandfather has a slight chance.

Just as the two were eating in silence, an unexpected incident suddenly occurred.

Luo Qingqing caught up with Young Master Chuyun and kicked him away.

Coincidentally.

Young Master Chu Yun ended up in Li Changqing's private room.

"boom!"

The window was smashed, and Chu Yun flew in, smashing the table and sending plates flying everywhere.

"Young master, be careful!"

Sensing the surprise, Murong Yao instantly pulled out her whip, wielding it with such force that no water could penetrate it.

All the leftover food and scraps, all the sawdust, were kept out.

Neither Li Changqing nor Murong Yao were splashed with any water.

The person inside had fair skin, above-average looks, and a great sense of style. He managed to make someone who was originally only average-looking look appear as good as average, thanks to his outfit and folding fan.

He does have the air of a refined gentleman. It's just that his dark circles are quite heavy, clearly a sign of excessive indulgence.

"A grown man like me, being protected by a beautiful woman, is a disgrace to us men."

I saw that Li Changqing was being protected by a beautiful woman.

Disregarding his own safety, Young Master Chuyun began his criticism...

Just as he was speaking, a figure in cyan light drifted over.

"You scoundrel, where do you think you're going to run this time?"

The area below the restaurant was already surrounded by experts from the Six Doors; the only way to escape was through the window.

With Luo Qingqing blocking the window, Young Master Chuyun had no way to escape.

Sunlight streamed in, bathing Luo Qingqing in its glow. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail, and her fair face, with its delicate features and touch of spiritedness, framed her perfectly.

Even though Li Changqing had seen all sorts of beauties in his previous life...

This girl's looks are absolutely top-notch.

She's the type of person who can make you fall in love at first sight.

Originally, Li Changqing was not sure if he was the real thirteenth prince.

Even if Murong Yao spoke with absolute certainty.

But you can't judge a book by its cover. Before the truth comes out, who knows if he's just a scapegoat someone else has found?

But now, Li Changqing suddenly felt that he must be the thirteenth prince.

Didn't you see that your wife has practically delivered herself to your door?

"Who do we have here? Isn't this our Marquis's daughter, Miss Murong Yao? Aren't you on duty with your Golden Guard, running around here secretly meeting with your gigolo?"

Luo Qingqing carefully examined Li Changqing from head to toe.

It must be said that Li Changqing has an excellent physique.

Although her appearance isn't the stunning type, it's still quite pleasing to the eye.

Murong Yao, that little girl, is only so-so in martial arts.

She has a good eye for men.

Upon hearing Luo Qingqing's words, Murong Yao turned and glanced at Li Changqing.

The thirteenth prince she had found now seemed even more unfathomable.

Despite so many unexpected events, he remained completely silent.

Young Master Chuyun, who was excluded by the three, felt that he had been greatly insulted.

As a wanted criminal being pursued, shouldn't he be the protagonist in this scene?

Why does everyone look like they didn't see him?

The constables downstairs have already blocked off the stairwell.

He couldn't escape through the window either...

Driven to the brink of despair, Young Master Chuyun was filled with rage and malice.

He cannot surrender without a fight, much less sit and wait to die.

Thinking of this, he charged straight at Li Changqing.

There were three people present: two women and one man.

He had dealt with both of these women before and knew that they were both highly skilled experts in the late stage of the Innate Realm.

In a head-on confrontation, with his mediocre skills, he couldn't possibly be a match for those two women.

But the other pretty boy was different.

No martial arts aura emanated from that person.

There was no instinctive reaction to the unexpected.

Young Master Chu Yun thought the other party was probably just a young master who didn't know martial arts.

This is not unusual in Kyoto.

Despite not knowing martial arts, she has a noble status...

Thinking of this, Chu Yun looked at Li Changqing as if he were a lifeline.
