Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

The three had barely entered the reception room when someone was led by a guard to the door.

A rather familiar figure.

"King Qin... King Qin...!"

The visitor was Yao Bida of Huangtutang. At the time, he and his men didn't think much of Qin Han and left after wandering around Leigushan for two days.

Now things have taken a turn for the better. Facing the Qin and Han dynasties today, even if the other side doesn't deliberately show off its power, their mere presence alone is enough to make the other side feel inferior.

Knowing the importance of assassinating Ao Bai, he immediately knelt down before Qin Han.

Qin Han raised his hand, and a powerful surge of internal energy stopped him from kneeling.

"Why must you be like this, Master Yao? If it weren't for the Heaven and Earth Society's escort, I might not be where I am today. Is there something you need my help with?"

Qin Han could tell at a glance that the other party must have something to ask for, otherwise why would he kneel down right away?

It was indeed the Heaven and Earth Society that escorted them all the way back then, and Qin Han still remembered this favor. As long as things weren't too outrageous, they would help if they could.

"Thank you so much, King Qin!" Yao Bida's words were sincere admiration. No wonder the king had achieved his current status; his perspective was truly exceptional.

"To be honest, Your Majesty, I have a letter here from Master Wei, pleading with you to spare no effort in helping our Han brothers in the north, for the sake of all the Han people under heaven!"

"Master Yao, there's no need for this." Qin Han took the letter. This style of accusing someone of something so serious was indeed typical of the Heaven and Earth Society. He opened the letter and saw the scribbled mess on it...

I twitched my lips. This style must be Wei Xiaobao's masterpiece. It's been too long since I've spent time with Wei Xiaobao, so I can probably only understand about 50% of it.

He finally spoke up and asked, "Master Yao, please tell me what exactly happened?"

Yao Bida was also somewhat embarrassed. Sure enough, those scribbles were not something ordinary people could distinguish. Fortunately, he had followed along.

His expression turned serious.

He glanced at Yang Xiao and Xu Xingzhi beside him, and hesitated.

Qin Han waved his hand: "Speak freely, everyone here is an outsider."

These words brought a sense of satisfaction to both Yang Xiao and Xu Xingzhi.

"Alright!" Yao Bida nodded and then recounted everything that had happened in the capital to Qin Han.

From the feud between the Mu family and the Heaven and Earth Society, to the conspiracy to assassinate Ao Bai, to everyone's fear of Ao Bai's martial arts skills, and finally, how Wei Xiaobao patted his chest and guaranteed that he could invite his elder brother to come to his rescue.

The story was told vividly, especially when Wei Xiaobao invoked the name of Qin and Han to impress everyone; that was embellished with extra details.

Qin Han listened quietly, a strange smile on his face. This Wei Xiaobao was just using his name to show off.

Ao Bai...

So he's still alive.

Then I can roughly figure out the timeline of the Qing Dynasty.

"So you've come here this time to invite me to the capital?" Qin Han asked.

"Yes!" Yao Bida nodded repeatedly, and then took out the handwritten letters from Chen Jinnan and Mu Jiansheng from his pocket.

This was a talisman that Mu Jiansheng and Chen Jinnan had Yao Bida pass on to them separately because they were worried about Wei Xiaobao's scribbles.

"This is a letter from the Grand Master and Young Master Mu. If Prince Qin is willing to help, both the Heaven and Earth Society and the Mu Family Mansion will owe Prince Qin a favor in the future!"

After reading the letter, Qin Han remained silent for a moment.

Is my reputation really that bad now?

Why did Mu Jiansheng use his sister and Fang Yi as payment, while Chen Jinnan used the Zhuang family's two daughters as payment...?

Although it wasn't explicitly stated that it was to introduce Qin Han to Qin Han, the underlying meaning was the same.

I never expected that the twins in this world would be two separate twins...

Double the happiness?!

Anyway, I'm going to Yangzhou no matter what, so perhaps, cough cough...

This is definitely not for Shuang'er and Mu Jianping; it's simply to rid the Han people of the world of this scourge.

Qin Han looked at Yao Bida's expectant eyes but did not give an answer immediately.

The people present felt that Qin Han was weighing the pros and cons.

Assassinating Ao Bai was an extremely difficult task.

Just as those in the martial arts world feared, Ao Bai himself was highly skilled in martial arts, and he was surrounded by experts from the Western Regions, making the area heavily guarded.

Taking his life in the capital, a place teeming with tigers and dragons, is no easy task. Furthermore, one must consider how to escape after killing Ao Bai, and what impact and actions the Qing court would take.

Whether Qin Han went or he sent someone, if they failed, the people he sent would be in mortal danger, and they might even offend the Qing Dynasty, causing unnecessary trouble.

But if it succeeds...

The benefits are also obvious.

As Wei Xiaobao said, with Ao Bai dead, the Qing court would begin its internal strife.

Wu Sangui at Shanhaiguan, the Golden Snake Camp in Shandong, and a prince who held considerable military power...

A troubled northern neighbor is far more reassuring than a powerful enemy.

More importantly, this operation could help establish good relations with anti-Qing forces such as the Heaven and Earth Society and the Mu Prince's Mansion.

Qin Han spoke.

"Master Yao, I can agree to help with this matter, as a way of repaying the kindness of the Heaven and Earth Society in escorting us all the way."

"Really? Thank you, King Qin!"

Upon hearing this, Yao Bida immediately stood up from his chair, extremely excited.

"I knew it! I knew the King of Qin was incredibly righteous!"

"Don't get too excited yet." Qin Han waved his hand, gesturing for the other person to sit down.

"I can help you, but not now."

"Huh?" Yao Bida was stunned. "Then...how long will it take?"

Qin Han smiled and said, "You stay in Chengdu for a few days and rest well. After I take care of some trivial matters here, I will return to the capital with you."

Although Yao Bida didn't understand what Qin Han was up to, what could he say when Qin Han agreed?

"Alright! We'll do as Your Majesty says!" Yao Bida finally felt relieved.

"Yang Xiao, take Yao Xiangzhu down to rest and treat her well," Qin Han instructed.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Your Majesty, I will await your news!" Yao Bida followed Yang Xiao away.

Only Qin Han and Xu Xingzhi remained in the reception room.

"Your Highness, isn't this too risky?" Although Xu Xingzhi knew that Qin Han was highly skilled in martial arts, he was a nobleman and didn't want to risk his life.

Qin Han smiled. He had now reached the level of a Grandmaster, possessing many of the Xiaoyao Sect's unique skills, including the sixth level of the Qiankun Great Shift, the ninth level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the perfected Beiming Divine Skill, the perfected Xiaowuxiang Skill, the sixth level of the Dragon God Skill, and many other martial arts...

And that doesn't even include the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dragon Capturing Skill that he obtained from Xiao Feng.

How many people in the world can rival the Qin and Han dynasties today?

Even if he encounters an old master at the Celestial level, he can still put up a fight. Even if he is no match for him, with Qin Han's current ability to shrink the distance to an inch and achieve instantaneous teleportation, escaping is not a problem.

Of course, this is precisely why Qin Han was an anomaly. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, with so many internal martial arts skills, they would either suffer from qi deviation or die from their bodies exploding.

However, in response to Xu Xingzhi's concerns, Qin Han explained his own situation and the general purpose of his trip to the Qing Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingzhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he immediately clapped his hands in praise, "Your Highness is indeed extraordinary! This is truly brilliant. If we could seize this opportunity to become the Golden Serpent King..."

"Old Xu... this isn't about the Golden Serpent Camp. No one else knows about this yet, so remember to keep it a secret."

Xu Xing understood immediately and stopped mentioning the matter.

He could only admire his king, who had another plan in mind. If this matter succeeded, they would have another base in the north.

Xu Xingzhi sincerely exclaimed, "Your Highness's foresight and wisdom are truly admirable!"

Having finalized the matter, Qin Han got up and stretched.

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing business, it's time to go meet my mother-in-law, whom I've never met before, and my dear sister Yu Yan, who comes from a respectable family."
