Joy of Life: Rebirth of the Second Prince, Inviting Emperor Qing to Die

Chapter 412: Strike first to gain the upper hand

Ku He looked at Sean in the box, feeling a mixture of emotions in his heart.

This time, when he asked his apprentice to go to Nanqing, he wanted to kill Sean as well.

It was just talk.

After all, this thing is too dangerous and impossible to achieve.

Unexpectedly, she actually did it.

Moreover, Ku He had never expected that after Sean was captured, he would be locked up in the dungeon of the "Inspection Institute".

Is it possible that there has been no news for more than 20 years?

However, what Ku He had not expected was the mysterious grandmaster from Nan Qing.

He could actually beat Ye Liuyun, Wu Zhu, and Grand Master Qing Emperor.

One against three, what a terrifying fighting power.

Originally, Ku He thought that his martial arts level had become stronger after years of hard training.

He is completely capable of defeating Wu Zhu and becoming the strongest grandmaster in the world.

As a result, another person suddenly appeared and completely defeated his confidence.

A grandmaster who could fight three people at once was no longer someone he could deal with.

However, when Ku He looked at Sean, he began to recall past events in his mind.

More than 20 years ago, Ku He and Sean embarked on a journey to find the temple.

The past events are still vivid in my mind, but in the blink of an eye, everything has changed.

"Old friend, I had no choice but to kill you. Don't blame me."

"If you don't die, things will get really troublesome later."

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for knowing too much."

Ku He looked at Sean in the box, lost in thought.

……

the other side.

After Haitang Duoduo came down from the mountain, she walked towards the palace.

She originally thought that the master would behave differently after seeing Sean's head.

After all, to the master, Sean is one of his good friends.

The two have known each other for a long time, fought side by side, and have traveled to many secret places together.

But now, because of certain things, they have become enemies and are determined to kill each other.

Haitang Duoduo shook her head helplessly.

Let the previous generation deal with their own grievances and disputes; it is none of my business.

The most important thing is now.

If what Li Chengze said is true, the army should arrive here in a month.

So, she had to let Doudou prepare early.

After a while, Haitang Duoduo entered the palace and came to the imperial study.

At this time, Zhan Doudou and Si Lili were talking in the imperial study. After seeing Haitang Duoduo, they both showed joy on their faces.

"Duoduo, you're finally back." Upon seeing this, Zhan Doudou immediately stood up.

Haitang Duoduo said, "Have you two finished chatting about family matters?"

Zhan Doudou smiled and said, "Of course not. Aren't you the only one missing?"

"Come on, come quickly." Zhan Doudou waved his hand and said, "Have you finished your own business?"

Haitang Duoduo nodded and said, "I'm done with my work, there won't be any problems for the time being."

"It's just that I'm here now to tell you something important."

Zhan Doudou asked, "Are you talking about what happened next?"

"That's right." Haitang Duoduo nodded and said, "If it goes according to our previous agreement, in a month, Qing will send troops to attack Northern Qi."

"Now, your chance has come." After hearing this, Zhan Doudou immediately fell into deep thought.

After a moment, she looked up at Haitang Duoduo and said, "Okay, I understand."

"So what do you need me to do now?"

Haitang Duoduo waved her hand and said, "Don't do anything, just wait and see."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the ministers in the court should have also received the information about Nanqing."

"So, someone will take action, and we just have to wait."

Zhan Doudou nodded thoughtfully and said, "Okay, that's the only way."

Haitang Duoduo said again: "Doudou, just do this from now on."

Afterwards, Haitang Duoduo muttered a few words in a low voice.

……

at the same time.

Shen Zhong paced around the room with his hands behind his back.

In front of him, there were several officials sitting, all with unhappy expressions.

At this time, Shen Zhong said, "That's roughly what happened. Is there anyone among you who didn't hear it clearly?"

The men present all looked at each other, and no one dared to speak.

However, Shen Zhong waited for a long time, but no one spoke, so he snorted coldly:
"Why, if you have something to say, then don't say it anymore!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone present was shocked.

Everyone knew about the serious means before them, which could be said to be completely beyond common sense.

Moreover, since he was the empress dowager's favorite, he occupied a considerable position in the entire Northern Qi Dynasty. If he really wanted to kill one or two officials, it would be easy.

So, after Shen Zhong opened his mouth just now, everyone knew that he was not joking.

Then someone said, "Master Shen, calm down. You misunderstood. We were just thinking."

"Yes, yes, we are indeed thinking about countermeasures."

"That's right, how can we act wildly in front of you?"

Shen Zhong snorted again and said, "Stop talking nonsense."

"Now that the incident has already happened, we must resolve it quickly. Don't let the Qing army come to your borders and you don't even know what's going on. How can you resist?"

"The country supports you to serve the court, not to let you sit here and talk to a cow."

One of the men immediately said, "Sir Shen, I think we should prepare for this early."

"Although the emperor of Qing Kingdom was killed by an assassin, they seem to be leaderless."

"But once their new ruler takes the throne, he will definitely bring a large army to attack our Northern Qi. This is essential."

"That's right." Another man said, "I think we can definitely take the initiative."

Shen Zhong laughed and said, "Strike first to gain the upper hand?"

"Do you think that with the strength of our Northern Qi, we can defeat the country of Southern Qing?"

"If that's the case, then why haven't you done it before?"

At this time, someone else spoke up: "By the way, Lord Shen, I think now is an opportunity. We can unite with Dongyi City and several other countries to deal with Nanqing together."

"As long as we promise benefits, they will naturally not refuse."

"After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend."

Shen Zhong nodded thoughtfully and said, "Your idea is indeed very good."

"In that case, then you can do this."

"I will send you there tomorrow to unite with Dongyi City and other countries."

The man was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself and said, "Huh?"

"This... let me go by myself?"

Shen Zhong snorted coldly: "Why, do you have any objections?"
