Chapter 1471 The Flaw Is Emperor Qing, Kyoto in Chaos
What is the flaw?
The temple messenger is a biochemical robot, a machine without emotions, based on data. Unless he is defeated with stronger strength, it is impossible to find the flaw in a short time.
Ye Liuyun achieved the status of Grandmaster by his own comprehension. He cannot be said to be flawless, but he is also very clear about his strengths and weaknesses. If it is a one-on-one, life-and-death battle, Zhou Chen is 99% sure to win him, but now it is three-on-one, Ye Liuyun is not the best breakthrough.
Among the three Grandmasters, the best breakthrough and the biggest flaw is Emperor Qing.
It is not about Emperor Qing's strength, but Emperor Qing's state of mind.
He is afraid of death, extremely afraid of death. Years of shrinking have made him lose the bloodiness and sharpness of a warrior.
This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Qing has been hiding behind the scenes and dare not expose his identity as a Grandmaster. If it really comes to one-on-one, he will never dare to fight Zhou Chen.
On the one hand, he is not sure, and on the other hand, he thinks it is not worth it. He is the emperor of Qing, the master of a country. Who is Zhou Chen? Is he worthy of exchanging one for one with him?
Three to one, that was his ultimate kill against Zhou Chen.
But he never expected that in a three to one situation, he was already very cowardly, but Zhou Chen was like crazy, ignoring the temple messenger and Ye Liuyun, and only fighting him alone, so that his current injuries were almost the same as Zhou Chen's.
The injuries were not fatal, but he was really scared, and he was afraid. He still had a great country to enjoy, an infinite future, and the goal of immortality, so he couldn't fight Zhou Chen here.
Since he couldn't fight desperately, he could only let Ye Liuyun and the temple messenger go.
"Go, kill him, kill him."
In order to invite Ye Liuyun, he threatened the entire Ye family. In order to get the temple messenger to take action, he cooperated with the temple, told the temple that Zhou Chen was a threat to the temple, and promised to help the temple find Wu Zhu, so that the temple sent a messenger to help him kill Zhou Chen.
Originally, he had the intention to subdue Zhou Chen, and also thought about delaying time and using Zhou Chen's woman to threaten Zhou Chen, but now he has no such idea at all. Now he just wants to kill Zhou Chen and see Zhou Chen die.
He will not sleep well until Zhou Chen dies.
Ye Liuyun and the temple messenger attacked at the same time and quickly killed Zhou Chen. Needless to say, since Ye Liuyun had started, there was no room for retreat and he had to fight to the end.
Zhou Chen was not afraid either. Instead of retreating, he advanced and attacked Emperor Qing again against the offensive of Ye Liuyun and the temple messenger.
When Emperor Qing saw this scene, his eyes were bloodshot and a humiliating anger surged up.
He was really angry with Zhou Chen. He really regarded him as a breakthrough point and rushed towards him regardless of anything.
"Looking for death!"
His whole body was full of true energy. He was tough for once and actually ran into Zhou Chen.
But the next moment, his face changed, because Zhou Chen really seemed to be crazy, and he had no intention of blocking at all, and he was going to fight with him to the death.
In just a moment, he had all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and in the last moment, he still didn't have the courage to fight with Zhou Chen to the death.
In his heart, Zhou Chen's life was not worthy of his. Even if he could kill Zhou Chen, he couldn't accept the result of being seriously injured, because the risk was too great.
Don't look at Ye Liuyun and the temple messenger for his use now, but if he was seriously injured, the temple messenger would be fine, but if Ye Liuyun had any crooked thoughts, he couldn't resist it at all. At that time, even if he killed Zhou Chen, he would die, and it would be too much of a loss.
This is the flaw Zhou Chen found. Emperor Qing was afraid of death, not only afraid of fighting with him, but also afraid of others harming him.
I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me!
This sentence is perfect for Emperor Qing. He didn't dare to fight Zhou Chen, and was afraid of getting hurt, so Ye Liuyun took advantage of the opportunity to enter.
In short, in his eyes, no one in the world can be trusted, and there are always people who want to harm me.
In a duel between masters, the victory or defeat is in a moment, and it was his hesitation at this moment that gave Zhou Chen the opportunity.
The powerful true qi made Emperor Qing retreat and unconsciously avoid his body, and the next moment Zhou Chen reversed his offensive and actually blasted Ye Liuyun who attacked from the left side.
All this happened in a flash, and Ye Liuyun never expected that Zhou Chen would have such a move, so he didn't prepare at all. The attack had already been made, and it was impossible to switch from offense to defense.
But he was much more decisive than Emperor Qing. He didn't even think about retreating, and continued to attack and fight Zhou Chen.
"Boom!"
There was another loud noise, and the terrifying true qi collided, forcing all four people to retreat.
Zhou Chen was still surrounded by three people. Emperor Qing was already timid. This time, he was not injured again. The temple messenger was also intact, but Ye Liuyun was injured.
Half of Ye Liuyun's face became bloody and bloody. After all, he was a flesh and blood body. Even if he had the true qi to protect his body, he was still injured by Zhou Chen's palm.
Zhou Chen was also not feeling well. He was hit by Ye Liuyun's Liuyun Sanshou again. The burst of true qi shattered most of his clothes on the upper body. A palm print was clearly visible on the right chest.
A mouthful of blood spit out from Zhou Chen's mouth again. This time, it was even mixed with organ fragments. Obviously, this blow caused him to be seriously injured.
"Madman."
Emperor Qing looked at Zhou Chen who was surrounded with horror. Even though he had a huge advantage now, he still felt scared.
Zhou Chen's madness really shocked him. His completely desperate fighting style did not look like a transcendent grandmaster. It was even more exaggerated than those low-level warriors.
When the four great masters first started fighting in the streets, all the major forces in Kyoto who had been watching the wedding noticed what was going on here.
The Inspection Institute was the first to know, because Shadow immediately returned to the Inspection Institute with Zhou Chen's red silk cloth and handed it over to Chen Pingping.
When Chen Pingping saw the content on the silk cloth, she instantly lost her composure.
"It's him!"
There are only seven words on the silk cloth, 'murderer', 'Qing Emperor', and 'great master'.
The silk cloth slipped from Chen Pingping's hand, and Yan Ruohai picked it up and took a look.
"Dean, what does this mean? Your Majesty wants to kill Duke Zhen Guo? Ye Liuyun was called to Kyoto by His Majesty to kill Duke Zhen Guo. Duke Zhen Guo asked the dean for help?"
When he saw these seven words, he thought it was Zhou Chen who wanted to tell Chen Pingping that it was Emperor Qing who wanted to kill him and the person who killed him was the Grand Master.
But in Chen Pingping's opinion, these seven words don't mean this.
He knew the power of the Grand Master and what kind of person Zhou Chen was. If Zhou Chen was really surrounded by the Grand Master, he would not ask him for help at all, or in other words, it would be useless to ask him for help, but Zhou Chen still Gave him these seven words.
Chen Pingping, who was suspicious and extremely smart, quickly thought of what Zhou Chen wanted to tell him.
'Zhou Chen said that Hong Sixiang is not the Grand Master, but the Grand Master in the palace is His Majesty. If His Majesty is the Grand Master, could it be that the murderer was...'
He instantly thought of the man behind the scenes that he and Fan Jian had been looking for for twenty years. If Emperor Qing was the hidden grand master, then why did he hide it? There was also the dramatic change in Kyoto that year, and he could only think of one possibility.
"Ruohai, Beijing is going to be turned upside down. You should go and summon the major leaders in Beijing now."
"Yes, Dean."
Yan Ruohai didn't say anything and immediately went to summon him. He knew very well that if His Majesty really wanted to kill Duke Zhen, there would indeed be an earthquake in Kyoto.
After sending Yan Ruohai away, Chen Pingping immediately grabbed Shadow.
"Your Majesty is the hidden grand master. If he wants to kill Duke Zhen, he will definitely not let go of anyone related to Duke Zhen, the Duke's mansion, and the Princess of Northern Qi."
Speaking of this, his eyes sparkled.
"Shadow, go to the post house. If someone can rescue the Princess of Northern Qi, leave it alone. If not, go rescue her."
Shadow nodded, and then asked: "Only save the eldest princess of Northern Qi?"
Chen Pingping looked indifferent: "Other people have nothing to do with us, so don't worry about them."
Shadow asked with slight hesitation: "Emperor Qing must have laid a trap if he wants to kill Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen cannot survive, he will."
Chen Pingping said: "I helped him save people, just to return his favor. As for whether she can survive, I hope he can survive."
Having said that, he knew Emperor Qing very well. Emperor Qing chose this time to attack Zhou Chen, which meant that he had already prepared a foolproof plan. The possibility of Zhou Chen surviving was extremely low.
"Also, don't use Shadow's identity."
"Know."
‘The Zhenguo Palace is under siege! ’
The news spread throughout Kyoto at an extremely fast speed, and everyone who heard the news was very shocked.
In the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, the Crown Prince looked in disbelief and asked his subordinates who came to report the news: "What did you say? The post house where the Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty lived was besieged by the army led by the Kyoto garrison Ye Zhong? The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was besieged by the imperial army led by Gong Dian. ? "Are you sure you didn't lie?"
"Your Highness, it's absolutely true. The wedding team of Duke Zhen Guo has dispersed, but that street is blocked and our people can't get through."
The prince looked horrified: "The post house and the Zhen Guo Duke's residence were besieged at the same time. Only Your Majesty can do this in the entire Kyoto. Could it be that Your Majesty is going to attack the Zhen Guo Duke? Doesn't the Zhen Guo Duke now have to do it?"
The news was so shocking that he felt incredible after hearing it.
Isn’t today the wedding day of Duke Zhen and the eldest princess of Northern Qi?
Why did His Majesty suddenly attack Duke Zhen Guo?
The second prince also received the news, and his behavior was even worse than that of the prince.
"How could His Majesty attack Duke Zhenguo and the Ye family at this time? Are they crazy? Attack the eldest princess of Northern Qi and Duke Zhenguo, they..."
At this point, he stopped suddenly and his pupils contracted.
"Could it be that Ye Liuyun, the Ye family, and Your Majesty..."
Thinking of this possibility, the second prince's face became even more gloomy. He and Ye Ling'er were granted marriage by Emperor Qing, but after such a long time, the Ye family did not show any attitude of standing on his side, so he tried his best to think To win over Zhou Chen.
But now that Emperor Qing has taken action against Zhou Chen, wouldn't everything he had done before be in vain?
What he couldn't understand the most was why Emperor Qing would attack Zhou Chen at this time. Isn't this a self-weakening move by Qing?
Although he couldn't understand it, at this time, he didn't dare to move at all and could only wait for the news restlessly.
Fan Xian took Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing and was about to go out when he was stopped by Fan Jian.
"The Zhenguo Palace will cease to exist after today, so you don't need to go there."
"What?"
Fan Jian's words made Fan Xian stunned on the spot.
"Because His Majesty has decided to get rid of Duke Zhenguo today, and he should have taken action now."
Fan Xian's eyes widened and he couldn't believe his ears.
"What are you talking about? Your Majesty wants to kill Duke Zhenguo? Why?"
"Why else could it be? The Duke of Zhenguo thinks he is a great master, disrespects His Majesty, and ignores the imperial power. His Majesty has tolerated him for a long time. This time, a net has been laid, and the Duke of Zhenguo can't escape even if he has wings."
Fan Jian's expression was inexplicable. He didn't think anything of Fan Xian's disrespect to Emperor Qing, but Zhou Chen's disrespect to Emperor Qing. As a minister, he felt that Zhou Chen's behavior was not what a minister should do, and it was very double-standard.
But he didn't really understand it. Just for this, Emperor Qing had to kill Zhou Chen. Not to mention that Zhou Chen's death was equivalent to self-weakening for Qing. If the other two masters were also injured in the process of killing Zhou Chen, the loss of Qing would be too heavy.
He wanted to persuade Fan Xian not to care, but Fan Xian was even more excited after hearing it.
"No, I have to go and see what's going on. The Duke of Zhenguo has helped me more than once. I can't just sit there and do nothing."
Fan Jian grabbed Fan Xian and said anxiously, "Don't go. This is the arrangement of His Majesty himself. You can't save the Duke of Zhenguo even if you go."
Fan Xian's face was ugly. He has now reached the ninth-grade combat power, so he knows the gap between the ninth-grade and the grandmaster. If the grandmaster attacks Zhou Chen, he will be in vain.
"The inn where the Grand Princess of Beiqi is?"
"It has been surrounded by the imperial guards and tiger guards led by Ye Zhong. It's a life-or-death situation."
Fan Jian's face was heavy. Although he felt that Emperor Qing wanted to kill Zhou Chen, he didn't particularly object. But Emperor Qing wanted to capture the Grand Princess of Beiqi to threaten Zhou Chen, which made him unbearable.
This method is really a bit mean, not to mention that the Grand Princess of Beiqi is not only Zhou Chen's fiancée, but also the princess of Beiqi. Emperor Qing did this, is he going to completely turn against Beiqi? This is not a very wise choice.
"How can your majesty do this? She is the princess of Northern Qi, and she is just a weak woman."
Fan Xian could not accept this kind of thing. On the other hand, what Emperor Qing had done recently was really hard for him to accept, and he was very resistant in his heart.
Fan Jian's attitude was very firm: "You can't go anywhere today with me here. I can't watch you go to die."
Fan Xian looked at Fan Jian. If he forced to leave, Fan Jian would definitely not be able to stop him, but the problem was that even if he went, it would be useless. Not to mention that he couldn't help Zhou Chen, even if he went to save the eldest princess of Northern Qi, he, a ninth-rank fighter, couldn't play a big role in the face of the imperial guards and tiger guards.
He hesitated for a while, said nothing, and returned to his yard with Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing.
As soon as he entered the yard, Teng Zijing said impatiently: "We must help the Duke of Zhenguo. He saved my life."
Wang Qinian said: "But the lord also paid, it's a fair deal."
Teng Zijing immediately glared at him: "Wang Qinian, what do you mean, do you want to watch him die without saving him?"
Wang Qinian said: "Of course I want to save him. But what can we do with just a few of us? This is the order of His Majesty. If we go to save him, it would be against the order."
Teng Zijing's expression froze for a moment. He could disregard his own life, but he still had a wife and children.
"Fan Xian."
"My lord."
Facing the gazes and questions of the two, Fan Xian's face was heavy.
"Let me think about it first, let me think about it."
Fan Xian walked into the room, Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing looked at each other, and left the yard one after another, leaving the space for Fan Xian.
After a while, Fan Xian suddenly stood up and shouted: "Uncle Wuzhu, Uncle Wuzhu..."
The next moment, a figure appeared out of thin air, it was Wuzhu.
"You're looking for me."
Fan Xian said anxiously: "Uncle Wuzhu, are there any grandmasters fighting in Kyoto?"
Wuzhu said: "Yes, and there are more than two, there are three, and there is another one who is very strange, but he does have the fighting power of a grandmaster."
Fan Xian was shocked: "Four grandmasters? Uncle Wuzhu, how can there be four grandmasters?"
"I don't know, but there are indeed four, three against one, the one who was beaten is Zhou Chen, and there is another one, I remember it seems to be Ye Liuyun."
Although Wuzhu's memory is a little missing, he still remembers many people he knew in the past. Ye Liuyun became a grandmaster under his whip, so he naturally has an impression.
The street where the battle took place is not very far from here. When the battle just happened, he was also attracted to look over for a few times, but soon came back.
"Three against one Zhenguogong?"
Zhou Chen was frightened by Wuzhu's words. Where did Emperor Qing get such great ability? It's no problem to be able to command the grandmasters in the palace. As a Qing countryman, Ye Liuyun may also listen to Emperor Qing. What about the other one?
"Who is the other one, Ku He? Or Si Gu Jian? Will they listen to your majesty and besiege the Duke of Zhenguo?"
"It's not Ku He, nor Si Gu Jian. It's a very strange person. He has no true energy and is a bit like me."
"What?"
Fan Xian didn't quite understand what Wu Zhu meant, but he understood that there was actually a Grandmaster, not the five Grandmasters.
What is going on in this world? Isn't it said that there are only five Grandmasters? It's okay to have someone like Uncle Wu Zhu, but how come there is another Grandmaster now?
But now is not the time to think about these things. When he thought of Zhou Chen being besieged by the three Grandmasters and his life and death were unpredictable, he hurriedly asked Wu Zhu.
"Uncle Wu Zhu, the Duke of Zhenguo has done me a favor. Do you have a way to save him?"
"No way, the three Grandmasters, he can't survive, and I am only responsible for protecting you, I don't care about others."
"But the Duke of Zhenguo has done me a favor. I beg you to help him, okay?"
"No, the lady ordered me to protect you. If I go, I might die and I won't be able to protect you anymore. I can't go."
Fan Xian was about to say something, but he was choked. Yes, there are three great masters. Even if Uncle Wuzhu goes now, the Duke of Zhenguo doesn't know what will happen. Although Uncle Wuzhu is fierce, he may not be able to stop the three great masters at the same time.
Thinking of this, he could no longer say that Wuzhu should save Zhou Chen. At this moment, he really hated himself secretly. If he had the strength, he would not be so helpless.
The Zhou Mansion, as Zhou Chen's base camp, was surrounded by the Imperial Army. At Gong Dian's order, the Imperial Army rushed into the mansion. Many servants in the Zhou Mansion were panicked. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to. They were all controlled roughly by the Imperial Army.
After a while, Gong Dian listened to the report of his officers with a gloomy face.
"Commander, we didn't find anyone."
"How is it possible? We have been watching and clearly saw someone go in. How could we not find anyone?"
Gong Dian was the commander sent by Emperor Qing to besiege Zhou Mansion. The main target was Zhou Chen's woman, that is, the prostitute brought back from the brothel by Zhou Chen.
Although Emperor Qing did not think that Zhou Chen would take a prostitute seriously, what if it happened? So he still issued this order.
But he didn't know that although Zhou Chen was arrogant and unruly, he was not the kind of self-important person. Instead, he knew the principle of a cunning rabbit having three burrows.
He had already built a secret passage in Zhou Mansion, which led directly to a house on another street behind the mansion. This house was secretly bought by him a few years ago. Although it belonged to two areas, it was actually quite close, so he could open this underground secret passage just in case.
I thought that after he became a grandmaster, this secret passage would be useless, but today, it was used as a retreat for Sang Wen and his team.
Compared to the smooth retreat of Sang Wen and his team, the situation at the posthouse was not very optimistic, because it was really surrounded by the army.
