Chapter 881: Becoming a Grandmaster
The Emperor of Qing trembled unconsciously when he heard this. He slammed the shrapnel on the table and said to Eunuch Hou in a stern voice: "Bring Fan Xian here immediately. I want to see him immediately!"
Eunuch Hou trembled and left the hall. It was the first time he saw the Emperor of Qing lose his composure like this.
On the other side, Fan Mansion.
After Fan Xian returned home, he was still in shock. Although he knew that Qin Hao would kill the second prince, he was still shocked when he saw the second prince's body with his head blown open.
At that moment, he was in a trance. He always felt that the second prince should not die like this. That insidious, cunning, cruel and suspicious guy actually died so easily?
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Fan Ruoruo walked to Fan Xian and asked in confusion.
Just as Fan Xian was about to speak, his upper and lower teeth couldn't stop trembling. The words on his lips couldn't come out.
"The second prince is dead."
Fan Ruoruo said "Oh", and then asked nonchalantly: "Then what?"
"The matter has become a big deal. I don't know if it will be traced to Lao Qin. You must not go out these days, let alone have any contact with Lao Qin. The Inspection Institute will not give up any slightest movement." Fan Xian took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and warned word by word.
"Yes, I know."
Fan Xian wanted to say something, but Eunuch Hou came and pulled Fan Xian into the palace without saying a word.
"Eunuch Hou, His Majesty is looking for me because of the second prince?"
On the way to the palace, Fan Xian asked tentatively.
Eunuch Hou led the way in front with small steps, and said with lingering fear: "That's right, there is nothing more important than this in the whole capital now."
Fan Xian stopped talking and came to the familiar hall with a nervous mood.
Just when Fan Xian was fully prepared to deal with Emperor Qing's questioning, the first sentence Emperor Qing said when he saw him was.
"Did your mother leave you anything?"
Fan Xian was stunned at first, then took out the secret book of "Badao Zhenqi" from his arms.
Emperor Qing took it and looked at it, then threw it aside casually, and asked irritably: "Not this, is there anything that can make a sound like thunder?"
Before Fan Xian could speak, Emperor Qing added.
"Think carefully, have you seen any strange objects at Wuzhu's place?"
Fan Xian's heart tightened, and he glanced at Chen Pingping from the corner of his eye.
"When I was a child, Uncle Wuzhu seemed to be carrying a box on his back. I haven't seen him since the last time I was in the capital."
Emperor Qing stared at Chen Pingping with a sharp eye like an eagle: "Did Wuzhu carry a box with him when he went to Beiqi last time?"
"No, he must have hidden it somewhere." Chen Pingping answered decisively.
"Find it, even if you have to dig deep into the ground, you must find it for me!"
Fan Xian and Chen Pingping were then driven out of the hall. Just as they were leaving the hall, Gong Dian, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, led people to completely block the area near the hall. Even the doors and windows of the hall were covered with black curtains, and there was no light anymore.
As the two walked on the way out of the palace, Fan Xian was puzzled: "Dean, His Majesty didn't seem to mention the second prince just now?"
"Finding the murder weapon that killed the second prince is equivalent to finding the murderer, isn't it?" Chen Pingping answered casually.
"But."
"Okay, don't say buts. Stay at home honestly these days, don't go out and don't contact anyone. Everything will be settled when the situation is calm."
Fan Xian bowed deeply to Chen Pingping to show his gratitude.
As Chen Pingping said, in the next few days, the whole capital was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. Those dandy boys who usually rode horses and cockfights and ate, drank and had fun in various ways were all detained at home, and no one dared to show off in the streets.
The Inspection Bureau attacked everywhere and arrested many people, most of whom were Northern Qi spies.
Three days later, Chen Pingping personally sent Qin Hao out of Zuixianju.
"General Qin, you have worked hard these days."
Qin Hao asked calmly: "President Chen, so I have cleared my suspicion?"
"General Qin is joking, I never said you would be the murderer of the second prince." Chen Pingping said with a smile.
Qin Hao said without comment: "It's better to find out clearly, after all, it was the second prince who died."
"So, if there is a need in the future, I still hope that General Qin can cooperate."
"No problem."
Chen Pingping looked at Qin Hao's back as he left, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
"Dean, the other people in Zuixianju."
"Have you cleaned up the dungeon of the Inspection Institute?"
"It has been cleared."
"Then send them there. Maybe they will tell the truth in a different place."
Qin Hao returned home. His cheap father Qin Hui dragged him into the room without saying a word, and then fell to his knees.
"Tell me honestly, did you do it?"
Qin Hao quickly helped him up: "I was joking with Fan Xian that day, why did you take it seriously?"
"Really just joking?"
"What do you think? Killing the prince is a serious crime that will kill nine generations of the family. Even if I am not afraid of death, I have to consider you, my mother and my elder brother, right?"
Qin Hui nodded subconsciously, but soon said in a faint tone: "Why do I feel like you are trying to fool me?"
"Ahem, okay, let me say it again. Even if I don't care about you, I have to consider my little mother and my future wife, right?"
"Well, that's about right." Qin Hui let out a long breath and quickly got up.
"You don't know, when I heard that the second prince was murdered, I almost pissed myself with fear, and I had to pretend to be nonchalant."
Seeing the cheap dad Qin Hui's expression of "It's too difficult for me", Qin Hao secretly laughed. If he told him the truth, wouldn't he be frightened to death?
"You didn't kill him, so who is so bold as to attack and kill the second prince in the street?"
"Then I don't know, but the second prince has done many immoral things in recent years. Maybe he has messed with someone he shouldn't have messed with."
"Well, I hope the inspection agency can catch the real culprit soon. You haven't seen the atmosphere in the yamen these days, and I also heard that His Majesty is so grief-stricken that he has not held a court meeting for several days."
Qin Hao sneered, what a grief-stricken thing, the second prince was just a whetstone prepared by Emperor Qing for the prince, and the reason why there was no court meeting was that he was still scared after all.
Back then, Ye Qingmei used the same method to attack and kill two princes of Qing Kingdom from thousands of miles away, and helped Emperor Qing successfully ascend the throne. At the same time, Emperor Qing was also frightened by Ye Qingmei's incredible method, otherwise he wouldn't have done it. He has been hiding in the palace and dared not come out. He even pushed Hong Sixiang, an old eunuch at the peak of the ninth grade, to the front desk to pretend to be a grand master.
During these years when Emperor Qing was hiding in the palace, others thought he was developing bows and arrows, but in fact he was making "bulletproof vests."
After comforting his cheap daddy, Qin Hao stayed at home for a day and then went to Baoyue Tower.
Anyway, with the methods of the Inspection Institute, it is impossible not to find out that before the death of the second prince, he often went in and out of Baoyue Tower. Deliberately not contacting him would appear guilty, and it could also create an image for the outside world that he was very anxious.
There was a special fragrance permeating the manager's boudoir.
"How does it feel to take revenge with your own hands?"
Si Lili's smooth shoulders were exposed to the air, her hands tightly holding Qin Hao's arms, her eyes blurred.
"It's a wonderful feeling. It's a pity that the one who killed him was not the culprit."
Qin Hao pinched Si Lili's round and tender chin: "It's not easy to kill him."
"Yes, Chengri is hiding in the palace. It would be great if we could lure him out."
"If you want to kill him, it cannot be done with a sniper rifle. The time is not yet ripe. Either don't do it, or kill him with one blow."
Si Lili raised his chin, rubbed Qin Hao's chest, and said softly: "Then when will the time be right?"
"Wait until I advance to Grand Master!"
"Can you really become the fifth grand master?"
As soon as Si Lili finished speaking, he screamed, clutching his chest angrily and staring at Qin Hao with charming eyes.
"It seems that you have forgotten how powerful I am and dare to question me."
"Ah~~~"
After a night of wind and rain, Qin Hao crawled out of Wenrou Township with difficulty and ran all the way to Taiping Villa.
Before finding the Barrett sniper rifle, Emperor Qing would definitely not dare to leave the palace. As long as there was no Grand Master in charge, Qin Hao did not have to worry about anyone detecting the energy fluctuations at the bottom of the lake and could safely attack the Grand Master.
Of course, before that, Qin Hao must spend some time to reach the peak state of ninth level.
After opening the secret room at the bottom of the lake, Qin Hao arrived at the deepest small atomic reactor with ease. Extremely active energy poured in from all directions.
Qin Hao was like a sponge, absorbing the energy around him crazily.
The violent energy entered Qin Hao's body directly.
Destroy, repair, reorganize, over and over again.
Three days later, Qin Hao slowly opened his eyes and clenched his trembling fists.
In the past three days, Qin Hao frantically ran his "Hegemonic Qi" to continuously absorb energy, and at the same time used the "Heavenly Dao Mind Technique" to repair his body. The whole process was extremely painful, even more painful than when he just resumed practice after his muscles and veins were severed.
Fortunately, he gritted his teeth and pushed through with his strong will. At this time, the energy in his body was more than five times more than before.
At this moment, if Qin Hao says that he is the number one person in the ninth rank, I believe no one can refute him.
Of course, the first person in the Ninth Grade is still only the Ninth Grade after all, and is still very different from the Grand Master.
For Qin Hao, only the Grand Master is the ultimate goal.
Therefore, after two days of rest, and after his body and spirit returned to peak condition, Qin Hao officially began to attack the Grand Master realm.
If a ninth-level warrior is the limit that humans can reach, then the Grand Master is a monster who transcends human limits.
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Being able to stand up to the gods with a human body is worthy of the title of "demon".
As soon as the endless energy was released from the atomic energy reactor, it was absorbed into Qin Hao's body.
The physical pain did not stop Qin Hao's crazy behavior. At one time, the energy generated by the atomic energy reaction was almost in short supply.
Qin Hao was naturally not seeking death by doing this, but he had already faintly felt that a door to a whole new world was slowly opening towards him.
As the true energy in Qin Hao's body became larger and larger, in order to avoid exploding and dying, Qin Hao tried to compress the true energy in his body. This process of compressing the true energy was extremely dangerous. If he was not careful, he would be violently violent. The true energy exploded into pieces.
A trace of determination flashed in Qin Hao's eyes. He had finally reached this point, how could he back down?
As the true energy continued to compress, Qin Hao's breathing became long and powerful, and every breath seemed to be synchronized with the breath of heaven and earth. The surrounding air began to twist, forming small vortices. This was a sign that the true energy in his body blended with the energy from the outside.
Qin Hao's body slowly rose into the air, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and he seemed to be one with the world. Suddenly, a golden light flashed between his eyebrows, and a powerful energy burst out from his body, flowing rapidly through his muscles. His skin gradually turned golden, like a golden-armored statue.
At the same time, the outside world suddenly became overcast with thunder.
Suddenly, a shocking lightning flashed across the sky, and Emperor Qing, who had been hiding in the palace hall, suddenly jumped up and rushed to the window.
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Hou followed carefully behind him and served.
Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction where the lightning disappeared: "That should be Taiping Villa, right?"
Eunuch Hou hurriedly said: "It looks a bit like that. Your Majesty, don't worry. There are imperial guards guarding there. It's just thunder. Nothing serious will happen."
A trace of suspicion flashed across Emperor Qing's deep eyes: "Is it really just thunder?"
"How about I send someone to take a look?"
"No need, just someone will be guarding it."
In the secret room at the bottom of the lake in Taiping Villa, Qin Hao was not disturbed by the violent storms, lightning and thunder from the outside world. At this moment, he was in a mysterious state.
Qin Hao's consciousness seemed to have turned into a small boat, floating on the boundless sea of heart, surrounded by a magnificent ocean of spiritual energy. Qin Hao didn't know how long he had been immersed, until an unprecedented power awakened in his body, like a bud breaking through the ground in spring, with vigorous vitality.
This power is as gentle as jade and as strong as iron. It reshapes every inch of Qin Hao's flesh and blood, every meridian, and even every cell, allowing his body and soul to complete a thorough transformation.
"Boom!" With a deafening roar, Qin Hao suddenly opened his eyes, and two bright lights shot out of his eyes, like the sun and the moon shining together, illuminating the darkness around him. His aura instantly became unfathomable, like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years suddenly awakening, releasing a suffocating pressure.
"Grandmaster... I finally took this step!" Qin Hao whispered, his voice was light, but it was filled with supreme confidence and pride.
With a slight movement of his mind, Qin Hao's figure shook, like a dragon flying through the void, leaving a trail of afterimages. This is the speed and power that only a true grandmaster can possess.
Qin Hao couldn't help but clench his fists, looked up to the sky and roared, his laughter contained a huge amount of true energy, shaking the entire secret room at the bottom of the lake.
At this moment, the guards outside also noticed the abnormality of the lake water and could not help but marvel at it.
"Could it be that the rain caused the water level of the Flowing Crystal River to rise, causing the lake water to surge?"
