The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 170 Plans from all parties
Kyoto, Supervisory Yuan
In prison, even though Sean had a willpower far beyond that of ordinary people, he was still forced to extract information from Fang Hao, the grandmaster, using spiritual secrets for several days in a row.

His mental and spiritual will had reached its physical and psychological limits.

"You want to know the location of the temple, right? I will tell you."

This once glorious leader of the Northern Wei Ti cavalry finally bowed his head to Fang Hao.

Times have changed, and he is no longer the martial arts master who was closest to the grandmaster.

Now he is just a sick tiger who has been tortured for many years, an old man in his twilight years.

After a while, the dungeon door was opened again, Fang Hao walked out slowly, and said to his attendants: "Sean is dead, bury him."

The old man from the Seventh Division of the Overwatch Council said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After finding out the location of the temple, Fang Hao simply gave Sean a quick death, letting this influential figure from twenty years ago return to dust.

……

Imperial Palace, Empress Dowager Shu Palace

Fang Hao and Ye Ling'er were in the palace, dining with Empress Dowager Shu.

Even after becoming the empress dowager, the former Noble Consort Shu, now the Empress Dowager Shu, still had a calm and composed expression on her face, and even her precious pearls and golden hairpins could not hide her scholarly temperament.

"Today, I went to the Empress Dowager and met Prince Zhong's mother." Empress Dowager Shu said suddenly.

"How has Prince Zhong been doing recently?" Fang Hao asked.

"From what he said, without the pressure of the emperor, he feels relaxed and happy every day." Queen Mother Shu paused and said, "Just like you back then."

"Prince Zhong is a smart man. Since I gave him the word 'loyalty', I think he should be able to understand my good intentions." Fang Hao said.

"Prince Zhong is naturally sensible, but the Queen Mother is not necessarily so." Queen Mother Shu looked at Fang Hao and said, "Chengze, you have to promise me one thing."

Fang Hao put down his bowl and chopsticks and said solemnly, "Mom, just tell me straight."

"Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor, and that is the way to be a king." Queen Mother Shu said calmly: "When necessary, killing to stop killing is also a good strategy. You must know... there is no family affection in the royal family."

Fang Hao smiled when he heard this and said, "Mother, weren't you disgusted by these palace infighting and fighting?"

"This is a different time, and now that you are the emperor, you have to be ruthless when it is necessary," said Empress Dowager Shu.

"I understand, kid." Fang Hao said.

Queen Mother Shu is worthy of being the woman who sees everything most clearly in the harem of Qing Kingdom. She had previously advised her son not to fight because she did not see any chance of winning against the Second Prince.

Now that Fang Hao has become the ultimate winner and sits on the throne of the emperor, everything is different.

Empress Dowager Shu's attitude towards people and things naturally changed.

"During this period of time, I will go to Dadong Mountain to offer sacrifices to the heavens. Ling'er will live with the Queen Mother." Fang Hao said after dinner.

Queen Mother Shu seemed to understand something and asked worriedly, "Have you arranged everything for this trip?"

"I will ask Ling'er's brother to lead the army, and everything will be fine." Fang Hao said calmly: "As for Kyoto, with Dean Chen here, it can be guaranteed to be safe."

For Fang Hao, he is not afraid of the enemy not being strong, but he is afraid that they will hide in the dark and not come out.

As powerful as Emperor Qing, why didn't he reveal his true power in front of others? Wasn't it to lay out a plan to catch the other grandmasters in one fell swoop? For Fang Hao at the moment, he also had to face such a situation. The trip to Dadong Mountain was a flaw that he deliberately revealed.

This is an open and aboveboard conspiracy. You can choose not to be fooled, but it will not be so easy to find such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity next time.

"I'm very curious and wonder how many surprises you can bring me." Fang Hao thought to himself.

"Your Majesty, I'm back." At this moment, Fan Wujiu, who had not appeared for a long time, walked up to Fang Hao and said.

"How's it going? Is there any unusual movement at the Qing Temple?" Fang Hao was talking about the Qing Temple in Kyoto.

There is a weak connection between the Qing Temple in Kyoto and the temple, which is also the most secretive trump card of Emperor Qing.

For Emperor Qing, apart from the Barrett sniper rifle, Wuzhu posed the greatest threat to him. Therefore, in the original plot, he contacted the temple messenger through the high priest of the Qing Temple and raided Wuzhu.

Although the temple messenger was eventually killed by Wuzhu, he was also seriously injured.

This temple messenger, who is very low-key in the original novel, is also a master at the grandmaster level, and is one of the few trump cards that Emperor Qing can play now.

"Three hours ago, the high priest of the Qing Temple died." Fan Wujiu said.

"Finally, you can't hold it back anymore?" Fang Hao said with a smile on his face, "That's good. If fewer people come, this show will be boring."

……

Autumn of the fifth year of Qingli
Fang Hao, who had just ascended the throne, announced that he would go to Mount Dadong to offer sacrifices to the heavens. In addition to the Black Cavalry of the Supervisory Council, he was also accompanied by the Ye family's Dingzhou Elite Cavalry. The leader of the army was Ye Ling'er's brother, Ye Wan.

As Fang Hao's imperial carriage left Kyoto and arrived at Dadong Mountain, the undercurrent that had been hidden in the dark gradually became clear.

The information was passed on to Chen Pingping by spies from all sides and finally delivered to him by Yuan Hongdao, who was close to the Grand Princess.

"September 9th, take action at the same time?" An unfathomable smile appeared on Chen Pingping's face.

In a sense, he admired the eldest princess very much, because her exposure was inevitable. Even without Yuan Hongdao, with the ubiquitous spies of the Supervisory Council in Kyoto, they would be able to detect unusual movements in some places.

However, in order to rescue her brother Emperor Qing, she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself and attract the attention of the secret agents of the Overwatch Council so that Emperor Qing could find an opportunity to escape.

I have to say, there is true love between this brother and sister.

However, what the princess did not expect was that all this was actually part of Chen Pingping's plan.

"Jing Ge, dispatch three thousand black cavalrymen to enter the city secretly." Chen Pingping continued, "Don't let anyone know about this."

"Yes, Dean." Jing Ge said seriously.

The deterrent power of the Black Cavalry is so strong that Emperor Qing had long ago set a limit on the number of Black Cavalry to no more than one thousand.

However, ever since Chen Pingping suspected that Ye Qingmei's death was related to Emperor Qing, he began to secretly increase the number of Black Knights. As of today, there are as many as 4,000 of them, which is far beyond the number limited by the court.

The purpose, in addition to self-protection, is to be able to use it today one day.

Chen Pingping knew that there would only be minor disturbances in Kyoto, and as long as he was in Kyoto, there would be no trouble.

However, there was bound to be a chaotic battle over at Dadong Mountain, and he didn't know how Fang Hao planned to end it.

"Your Majesty, I have done what I should do. Now it's up to you." Chen Pingping bowed from a distance in the direction where Fang Hao left.
