Ten years of dormancy: Starting as a martial arts master at the pinnacle

"Found it!"

Li Changqing's eyes were filled with a smile.

"Has Your Highness found what you've been looking for?"

Xie Feixue looked on with anticipation.

"That's right. Stay here quietly. If you make too much noise, find a place to hide."

Hearing Li Changqing's instructions, Xie Feixue nodded obediently.

With her Grandmaster cultivation and the background of the Xiaoyao Marquis's Mansion, there are actually not many things in this world that she is not qualified to participate in.

The one in front of me happens to be one of them.

The things the Supreme Regent wants to do and what he wants to obtain are clearly extraordinary.

Even someone as powerful as Li Changqing couldn't guarantee that he could obtain all of this quietly.

So she had to hide.

Xie Feixue was undoubtedly a very sensible woman, so she knew very well what she should do now.

Xie Feixue quietly retreated and hid in a relatively safe place.

Li Changqing gave her a satisfied look.

Although Li Changqing had previously said that if she stayed within ten zhang of him, he could protect her from any harm.

But Li Changqing's next battle is bound to be dangerous.

Even if he can protect Xie Feixue's safety, he will definitely have to bear enormous pressure and risks.

Xie Feixue's cleverness lies in this.

Even though she knew that His Highness the Regent was capable enough to protect her, she was unwilling to become a burden.

Especially in such a dangerous battle.

This is the Qi Kingdom's royal palace. If a major battle were to take place here, the Qi Kingdom would likely have far more concerns than Li Changqing.

Therefore, as long as Xie Feixue quietly hides in a relatively safe place, she can leave at will.

Having a way out and still being able to watch the excitement—that's not something most people can do.

Xie Feixue did just that.

Li Changqing greatly admired this thoughtfulness and ability to assess the situation.

After confirming that Xie Feixue would not have any problems, Li Changqing set his sights on the innate spiritual bone.

The Emperor of Qi glanced at the presented plaque, frowned slightly, and looked reluctant.

He's over forty years old now, and his energy levels are nowhere near what they used to be when he was younger.

Asking him to choose a card now is like taking his life.

He was genuinely afraid that he would overwork himself and die in bed.

While there have been emperors who went mad on horseback, the emperor of Qi himself never considered learning from his predecessors.

Although he could not become a wise and benevolent ruler for all time, he was still quite diligent and conscientious.

Surely it won't end up like that?

The women in the palace were the same; they all treated him like they'd seen Tang Sanzang's flesh, wishing they could devour him alive.

How could his small frame withstand that?

Can't we all just sleep peacefully and peacefully?

"Sigh, let's keep the Empress."

We've been married for a long time, and the novelty has worn off.

The crown prince's position is secure, and the empress doesn't need to...

The Emperor of Qi, upon thinking of this, suddenly felt a chill.

It was only at this moment that he remembered that his precious son had become a prisoner of the Great Zhou.

If he were to go to the Empress's palace at this time, he would inevitably face the Empress's tearful complaints.

"Anyway, no one's going to die, so what's the rush? And that guy named Nangong Qiushui, he even dared to capture the Crown Prince. Isn't he afraid of retaliation from the Qi Kingdom?"

The power of the State of Qi was such that even the entire Zhou Dynasty dared not underestimate it.

Taking advantage of the weakness of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they once occupied the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and a full ten cities.

This is something that no other country has ever done.

Now, with the sudden emergence of the Supreme Regent Li Changqing, the Qi Kingdom's advantage in this regard has vanished.

Even so, it would be very easy for them to deal with a single person if they wanted to.

Just like before, when they specifically sent the Great Sword Immortal Situ Jue to Huanglongjiang to ambush the enemy.

Although they ultimately did not succeed.

But that's because they didn't expect Nangong Qiushui to suddenly break through to the Free and Unfettered Realm.

Otherwise, Nangong Qiushui would have already become a prisoner of the Qi state by this time.

"The most hateful one is Li Changqing."

Li Changqing, the Supreme Regent, is a seventeen-year-old master of the Supreme Realm.

This record alone is unprecedented and will likely remain so.

The most terrifying thing is that this young supreme being is extremely powerful.

He had only recently broken through to the Supreme Realm, yet he was already able to rival veteran Supreme Realm experts.

Not only does it possess supreme divine artifacts, but it is also said to have remarkable martial arts skills.

The longer the situation drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the State of Qi.

Think about the King of Qin of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how could he have such a promising son?

Unlike him, only Jiang Xiaobai is still somewhat acceptable.

"It would be great if we could change it."

Just as His Majesty the Emperor of Qi was pondering this in his heart.

A clear, cold voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"His Majesty seems to have some complaints about me."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Qi, who was worrying about choosing a concubine, jumped up from his seat.

He stared in disbelief at the figure that had suddenly appeared before him.

"The Regent, Li Changqing?"

Li Changqing smiled and nodded. "Li Changqing greets Your Majesty."

The Supreme Regent actually appeared right in front of me in such a blatant manner?

This is the royal palace of the State of Qi.

The Emperor of Qi quickly regained his composure and scrutinized the young man before him with a deep gaze.

There's no exaggeration; the person in front of me is simply young.

He exudes youthful spirit from head to toe.

This arrogance inherent in youth is easy to understand. Who else would break through to become a martial arts supreme at the age of seventeen?

They will all be arrogant.

"May I ask what brings Your Highness here?"

"Your country has seized ten cities from my Great Zhou. Although they have now been returned to their rightful owners, we still need to collect some interest. Jinshui City is one of them, and as for this second one..."

As Li Changqing spoke, he began to look around.

Finally, he set his sights on the innate spiritual bone: "I'll take this innate spiritual bone."

Almost the instant Li Changqing finished speaking, the Emperor of Qi secretly shook his head.

This Supreme Regent may desire innate spiritual bones, but that is definitely not his primary objective.

Based on the Qi emperor's understanding of Li Changqing, this supreme regent of the Great Zhou was not merely a master of martial arts.

He was also very skilled at strategizing.

The idea of ​​taking ten cities before entering Jinshui City appears to be due to the bravery of the Great Zhou soldiers, especially Nangong Qiushui.

He became the biggest variable in the battle.

But in reality, all of this was the result of Li Changqing's behind-the-scenes manipulation.

How could they have succeeded without His Highness the Regent?

Such a deep-thinking and cunning prince.

How could I possibly reveal my true intentions at this time?
