Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 194 This road is blocked.

When to go to Northern Qi?
What’s wrong? Can’t you stay in Qingguo anymore?
Even if that bastard Emperor Qing realizes that I am here, I would like to ask him if he has the courage to walk out of the palace?

He, Li Ang, does whatever he wants!
Thinking about it this way, it turns out that there is no danger at all in Qing Kingdom!

"Stay here, since you've followed me, I will naturally ensure your safety and make arrangements." Seeing Ye Ling'er's worried face, he could guess what she was worried about after a little thought, "Why? Are you worried that what happened today will affect your father?"

Nodding, Ye Ling'er now completely treated Li An as her own and said whatever she thought.

She said, "Do you know the truth about the death of Prime Minister's son Lin Gong? It was not until that day that I discovered his conspiracy with Dongyi City that I realized how deep the water in Kyoto City was. He treated Fan Xian as an illegitimate son of the Fan family and did not take him seriously. He never saw the power of the Fan family clearly."

"The three people who went to the rear just now were all eighth-grade masters, and their movements carried the aura of a soldier. How can this not shock people, and how can this not make people angry?"

Ye Ling'er comes from a military family and is confident that she will not make a mistake in choosing someone.

A man with such skills does not go to the battlefield to earn military merits and seek a title, but is willing to stay in Fan Mansion to guard the house. Is this the configuration that a vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue can have?
And three in a row!
There is no telling how many people are hiding under the surface! Even if Minister Fan has a relationship with His Majesty, it wouldn't be so outrageous!

Because of Wan'er before, even though she had doubts about Fan Xian, she was still unwilling to completely believe that Fan Xian had killed Lin Gong. But after seeing the three strong men in the army today, and the mysterious man who could cause trouble for Grandmaster Li An, she was now more and more convinced that Fan Xian had killed him!

She hesitated, wanting to say something but stopped herself. Seeing that Li An just looked at her without saying anything, she simply said, "To be honest, the former deputy commander of the palace, Gong Dian, was my junior uncle. He and my father were brothers in the same sect. He was demoted to a commoner because he was involved in a fight between several parties. My father was also implicated and sent to the border because of this relationship, and even the original organization was completely disbanded."

"I'm worried that His Majesty is deliberately weakening our Ye family. The Second Master is deceased, and now the Ye family lacks the protection of the Grand Master. We are not worthy of such a status and the military power in our hands!"

"Perhaps if I follow you to Northern Qi, my father will be able to deal with it more calmly."

As soon as Ye Ling'er finished speaking, Li An's ears moved slightly. The chaos in the Fan Mansion had gradually subsided, and its owner had reappeared, not far from the side hall.

Li An sneered and did not comment. He just asked, "Do you believe it? Even if you caused a big mess, Emperor Qing would not deal with the Ye family in a big way at this time."

"The reason is very simple, because of the Qin family!"

What Li Yunqian wanted was to have the final say and balance the forces of all the armies in the court. He wanted to use this opportunity of attacking Northern Qi to allow some young generals to emerge and become prominent.

Qin Ye is old after all. When he dies and Ye Zhong is still in his prime, who will balance him? What's more, the Ye family still has a grandmaster!

This was evident from the fact that the commander of the entire army attacking Northern Qi this time was Qin Ye instead of the younger Ye Chong.
Could it be that the great achievements brought by another great victory would help Ye Zhong establish a great reputation in the army like Qin Ye did? And then continue to dominate for decades?
This is something Emperor Qing cannot tolerate!
He himself was an emperor who had survived on horseback, so he naturally understood that controlling military power was the cornerstone of becoming a powerful official.

The current second generation of the Qin family, Qin Heng, is just an average person, so they simply gave the great achievement to Qin Ye, since the latter's prestige in the army is already as high as it can be. After his death, Qin Heng will rely on the merits of his ancestors to maintain the success, which is not a waste of the relationship between Qin Ye and Emperor Qing!

It was a good idea, but he didn't expect that the war would end in failure.

Not only did the war fail, but Ye Liuyun also died.
Imperceptibly, the means to suppress the Ye family had been arranged. Even the relatively loyal Gong Dian was demoted to a commoner by him under an excuse. It could be said that he was being too clever for his own good.

After the defeat, Ye Chong had no choice but to return to the battlefield to resist the border troops of Northern Qi.

Knowing that Yan Xiaoyi is the eldest princess's die-hard supporter, he was still allowed to lead the army alone to achieve a new balance. This was too harsh a blow to the Ye family!

Don't wait until the Ye family is ruined and Qin Ye is still alive and well, that would be very embarrassing
Knowing that the people of the Ye family are now paranoid, Li An not only did not comfort Ye Ling'er, but he even joked: "I know your father. He is a good fighter, but if he loses his military skills and mixes in the court, he is not even worthy of carrying shoes for Lin Ruofu and Fan Jian."

"Even if he faces suppression from Emperor Qing, perhaps he can only think of relying on a prince and earning some merit to rise again, right?"

"And this is the beginning of the Ye family's demise!"

Ye Linger was a little unconvinced. The throne would always be passed down. The Ye family didn't take sides before because there was no need. Now there's nothing wrong with finding a prince to serve, right? A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Not to mention that there will definitely be wars outside that will require the Ye family. Even if they do nothing, with the support of the Ye family in the army, the probability of the prince they choose ascending the throne will greatly increase!

It will not be difficult to restore the glory at that time, so how could it be the beginning of the Ye family’s downfall?

She wanted to argue, but the people outside had already arrived at the door, so she simply shut up and sulked away.

Liu Ruyu had just walked into the hall and hadn't even waited to sit down when she looked at Li An and said, "Is this the Miss Li that Ruoruo mentioned? She is indeed graceful and elegant."

"There was some trouble in the mansion today, which made Miss Li laugh. Please sit down and wait for a while. The master and the young master should return home soon after the court session."

Li An nodded and smiled. After completing all the formalities, he sat down again with Ye Ling'er.

The two of them had a perfect understanding. Although they knew that he was the one who caused the trouble, they did not point it out. Instead, they chatted about family matters, with many tentative gestures in their words.

The noble lady had a very pleasant conversation with Li An, who looked like a young lady from a wealthy family. For a moment, they really acted out the feeling of both host and guest being happy. It was just a pity for the servants in the house. They had served their masters for many years, so how could they not see the strange and evil atmosphere in the room at this moment?
The atmosphere was always awkward, but as long as Ang Lee didn't feel awkward, then it was others who were embarrassed.

The maids walked much more lightly when changing tea, and all they could hear was the two people chatting about all sorts of things. After a while, Liu Ruyu actually believed that Miss Li's family was in business. She felt a little unsure, so she glanced at Fan Ruoruo.

Seeing that Miss Li's temperament was completely different, as if she was no longer going to pretend, Fan Ruoruo suddenly asked, "I just saw Miss Li go to the west room. Did she encounter any danger?"

"I did hear some noise, but fortunately the servants at home were quite capable, so no one was hurt."

Ang Lee smiled brightly, but there was no sincerity in his words.

"So it was really dangerous just now. Even the maid who led Miss Li was knocked unconscious by the thieves. Fortunately, Miss Li's guards were highly skilled in martial arts and rescued her in time, which saved her life. It seems that she is a lucky person." Fan Ruoruo was obviously a little angry. She didn't expect Li Ping to be so shameless. "It's also the fault of our Fan Mansion. Not only did we fail to entertain the distinguished guests, but we also let the guests encounter danger!"

Li An shook his head slowly, but he didn't deny that the hospitality was poor. "It's not a dangerous situation."

"Some people can only wait for death when facing danger, but some people can turn danger into safety."

"Escaped from danger?" Fan Ruoruo's tone was very indifferent. Her hands were clenched secretly under her sleeves, and she asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Then I wonder what did Miss Li get in the Fan Mansion?"

He stood up silently. Although the other party had not yet served him tea, this attitude was not a posture that they could continue to get along with. So he simply gave Li Ang the opportunity to say goodbye.

With a slight smile, Li An responded in a vague way: "My deal with Master Fan has been completed!"

“There are too many ambitious losers in this world.”

The three of them walked out of the Fan Mansion and did not take a carriage, but just walked in this bustling area.

Ye Ling'er tilted her head to look at Li An, wondering why he made such an expression.

Li An looked back at the plaque of Fan Mansion without pausing, and then murmured in a low voice: "Perhaps after today, the deep water of Qing Kingdom will recede, and the truth under the water will slowly emerge before everyone's eyes. I wonder what everyone will think when they see these weeds and reefs clearly?"

The servants of the Ye Mansion followed behind, pulling the carriage and slowly moving away from here with the three of them.

After walking a long distance, Li An looked at the sky and asked Ye Ling'er, "It's almost noon now. Which restaurant in Kyoto City is worth recommending?"

"That's naturally Yishiju!"

Ye Ling'er responded. It's no wonder that the Fan family didn't invite anyone to have lunch. It's really because Li An was too irritating.

"Then please ask Sister Ling'er to go to Yizhishiju first and order a table of food. I have some things to take care of here, so I will go there later."

Ye Ling'er spread her hands. It was something that could be done by sending one servant, but they had to split up the process. It was obvious that they wanted to get rid of her.

He immediately asked in confusion: "Have you been to Kyoto before? I wonder where you are going to do business. Do you know the route?"

Li An did not answer, but just pointed to his mouth, his meaning was very clear.

——I can ask for directions!

"Humph!"

Ye Ling'er turned around and left, her clothes matching her look like a red cloud. She had long been impatient with such slow pacing. If she hadn't been accompanying Li Ang, how could she have suppressed her temper?

When something happens, you won't let me join you.

He really was a man who would throw me away after using me. He was in a hurry to get rid of me as soon as I left Fan's house. The most infuriating thing was that I still had to order food for him!

Seeing the hot elf leave, Li An asked Jiang Yannian: "Have you contacted anyone in the delegation?"

Jiang Yannian nodded. After entering the city yesterday, he completed the Queen's instructions that night.

However, he still turned his eyes behind him and asked in a low voice: "Madam, there is someone following behind us. Do you need your subordinates to clean them up?"

"Just a spy from the Overwatch Council."

Li An said casually, "Since they can't be stepping stones, we naturally can't let them become stumbling blocks. Anyway, there will be some commotion in the city today, so it's a good time to deal with it more cleanly."

Jiang Yannian clasped his fists and bowed, then slowly retreated and gradually blended into the crowd.

Thus, Li An was the only one left walking leisurely on the street.

When he turned into an alley, he couldn't help curling his lips at the quiet environment around him. He couldn't understand why this connection had to be so secretive? Wasn't it obvious that there was something fishy going on?

Can't we just chat casually and naturally like in a busy place like Yishiju?

The most important thing is that a fool like Lang Tao doesn’t know that such a quiet and deserted alley can easily be blocked by people!

I saw a few people walking silently in front of the road, and the leader said in a deep voice: "This road is blocked."

"Oh?"

Li Ang looked up with a bit of surprise, blaming the line for being too classic, "Is it too late for me to turn around now?"

He turned towards the entrance of the alley, with three people behind him.

“This road is not passable either.”

"If you have something to say, just say it. My time is quite valuable. You won't be responsible if the food gets cold later."

The man just now had no expression on his face. Perhaps he didn't know the truth because of his low level. At least Li An didn't see any fear on his face. He just heard him say: "My master invites you. Please move over, young lady!"

What is this? Please move on your own?
Li An raised his eyebrows and lowered his eyelids. How long has it been? How long has it been since someone gave him the cold shoulder?

Inexplicably, the powerful trait was activated, forcing several people around to breathless.

But these people had seen countless powerful people, and did not take Li Ang's power seriously. They were just a little surprised that a woman could have such an oppressive feeling.

"Looks like you don't plan to cooperate, young lady? This place is remote, don't expect your guards to come and rescue you. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being alone and going into this alley!"

"You guys don't look like you're inviting anyone to be your guest~"

As soon as Li An finished speaking, the men drew their blades, and it seemed that they were going to resort to force if soft tactics didn't work. However, the force just now was not given in vain, and one of them softened his tone and said, "Miss, there is no need to be so defensive. It is a blessing to meet my master. It is just an invitation to a banquet. As long as you cooperate, there will be no danger."

Yo? There is a sensible one.

Very good, you survived just by this sentence!

Is this a side effect of overdrawing luck? Wu Zhu stayed in Fan's house today and did not go out. When he went out on the street, accidents happened one after another.
"Leave this man alone alive."

After Li An finished speaking, he walked towards the entrance of the alley.

Behind him, Lang Tao fell from the sky, with a bloodthirsty smile on his face, and pounced on the few people. Li An only took two steps away, and saw Lang Tao caught the person who had just spoken soft words in front of him.

"You're lucky I'm not going to kill you today."

"Look at the sun, it's only half an hour away from lunch time. Go back and tell your master to come to Yishiju to see me within half an hour."

"Of course, he can choose not to come."

Li An's voice was a little gentle, with a faint smile on his face, showing politeness and self-respect: "Then let him sleep with his eyes open from now on! Because once he closes his eyes, it will be difficult to open them again!"

The man who survived felt so horrified that he even spoke in a trembling voice.

It was hard for him to imagine that within just two breaths, all his companions who came with him to do the work were dead. "I understand. I will definitely pass on the message!"

"Break his legs. It's just a message. It's better to crawl."

"Ah? Didn't you say you would spare me?"

"I only said I wouldn't kill you, but I never said I would spare you."

Li An didn't say any more nonsense. He walked past the man and went out again. It was almost time for lunch and he couldn't let the bloody scene affect his appetite.

Immediately afterwards, the bloodthirsty laughter of Lang Tao and the man's voice rang out from behind.
Screams!
