Film and Television: Immortality Begins in the Kingdom of Qing

"No, we can't touch the experts around us."

Li Yunrui waved his hand, interrupting Li Chengze's clever idea of ​​having his guards take action.

“Aunt, but there is no one available right now. You have heard Lord Zhu Ge mention it.”

Fan Xian has a traitorous expert from the Overwatch Council by his side, and it is suspected that Chen Pingping, the head of the Overwatch Council, is also secretly working behind the scenes.

Furthermore, it was impossible for his biological father not to secretly send his Tiger Guards to accompany him.

Otherwise, who could possibly defeat us? We finally secured that person's help; this is a golden opportunity.

Li Chengze's words perfectly illustrate what it means to rely on one's father's connections.

However, since he was just setting off for Beijing, his surroundings were practically impregnable, making it extremely difficult to drill a hole in them.

"It seems we have no choice but to use the spies from Northern Qi."

A ruthless glint flashed in Li Yunrui's eyes.

No matter how much Li Yunrui schemed, he failed to foresee the biggest loophole in the Qing Kingdom.

That is Fan Xian's strongest trump card, Wu Zhu, whose strength is comparable to a ninth-grade master.

Even if she brought in high-ranking members of the Junshan Society, they still couldn't kill Fan Xian.

This is why Emperor Qing disregarded everything; he wanted to use others to find out Wu Zhu's whereabouts.

But they overlooked one thing: the reason it turned into an assassination attempt outside the city was because Li Chengxian was dragged into it.

Li Chengxian, who had been nurtured by the Lin Wan'er incident, remained unmoved as she turned the pages of ancient texts.

It'll be soon!

He was eager to know what kind of powerful force the breakthroughs in cultivation techniques and martial arts brought by the Longevity System would bring.

Several days later, while everyone was still busy preparing for the upcoming birth of Fan Jian's illegitimate son, the Vice Minister of Revenue, a few days later...

With Li Chengqian being established as the crown prince, Guo Youzhi, whose status rose accordingly, was busy welcoming the eldest princess of Northern Qi.

He had just finished his business when he was informed that an army from the imperial palace had taken over the Northern Qi princess's journey to the capital.

He was instantly furious.

All that hard work these past few days, was it all for nothing?

Thinking of this, Guo Youzhi did not go to Crown Prince Li Chengqian to inquire, but rushed into the palace.

"Your Majesty, have you sent someone to take over the agenda of the Northern Qi's Grand Princess?"

Upon hearing this tone, a cold glint flashed in Emperor Qing's eyes.

Are you questioning me?

Guo Youzhi trembled in fright when he met Emperor Qing's gaze.

He then came to his senses and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Snapped.

Emperor Qing's letter was directed at Guo Youzhi, knocking off his official hat and leaving him in a sorry state.

"You dare to come and ask me questions without even understanding the situation? Do you want to quit your job as Minister of Rites?!"

Guo Youzhi hurriedly kowtowed forcefully, the thuds echoing loudly on the ground.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me; it is my dereliction of duty."

As the Minister of Rites, he knew what Emperor Qing meant by "irrelevant"—it wasn't a resignation, but a threat to his life.

"Dereliction of duty? I've seen you living quite a life of luxury, with your residence always bustling with visitors. How come you dare to act so arrogantly in front of your old master so soon after having a new master?"

Emperor Qing genuinely wanted to intimidate this lackey.

Guo Youzhi burst into tears.

"Your Majesty, I have a clear conscience and have always been loyal to you. I have never had any improper thoughts. I hope Your Majesty will be wise."

Emperor Qing gave a cold laugh.

A clear conscience?

You have a clear conscience, placing my loyalty second.

Seeing that the ordeal was almost over, Emperor Qing sighed and said:

"Alright, you are a veteran minister after all, so stop crying and wailing in front of me. I have my own plans for the Princess of Northern Qi, so let's just let this matter go."

Also, you should be careful not to send just anyone to the Crown Prince's side.

"I have appointed an heir apparent, not a stepping stone for you ministers to climb the ladder of power. Get out!"

Guo Youzhi stood up and straightened his clothes. As the Minister of Rites, he remembered to pay attention to his etiquette.

"Wei Chen retire."

After leaving Emperor Qing's palace, Guo Youzhi headed straight for the East Palace, as he remembered the things Emperor Qing was unhappy about.

However, Guo Youzhi admitted that although he was not an innocent person, he had recently done something outrageous.

Then there's only one possibility: his precious son has overstepped the rules in his name!

The thought of this made Guo Youzhi furious and gave him a splitting headache.

He himself was a man of official rank, having worked his way up to the position of Minister of Rites, yet now he had given birth to a good-for-nothing drunkard.

He couldn't pass the imperial examinations, which was one thing, but he managed to get a job as a compiler of palace documents by relying on his own ignorance. The problem was that he was extremely stupid.

Before even getting close to the East Palace, Guo Youzhi could already hear the music, which was no less than that of Zuixianju.

Clang!

Guo Youzhi kicked open the gate of the East Palace and, looking at the stunned crowd, clasped his hands in greeting to the Crown Prince, who had risen from his seat.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

After saying that, before anyone could react, he walked straight up to Guo Baokun.

Looking at his precious son, who was surrounded by women on both sides and whose face still bore traces of rouge, he was furious.

He grabbed Guo Baokun by the back of the neck by the collar and dragged him outside.

The palace officials in the room were so frightened that they dared not utter a sound.

Guo Baokun also sensed that something was wrong with his father, and let the other man carry him onto the carriage outside the palace.

However, after they left, Li Chengqian shouted:

"Keep playing, keep dancing!"

The two soon returned to the Guo residence.

As soon as he stepped off the carriage and entered the gate, Guo Youzhi kicked Guo Baokun, sending him flying.

"Keep the doors tightly shut. Today, I'm going to teach this fool a lesson!"

"Father, what did I do wrong?"

Guo Baokun trembled with fright and was about to cry.

"He doesn't even know where he went wrong. How could I, the Minister of Rites, have such a foolish son?"

Do you know that the crown prince is the foundation of the country? It's one thing to fail to support him properly, but you even dare to incite him to indulge in women.

"You, as the Emperor, are indulging in pleasures in the Eastern Palace during the day? Why is no one interfering? Am I, the Minister of Rites, supposed to give way to you?"

As he spoke, Guo Youzhi picked up a stick from the side and began to beat people with practiced ease.

The next day.

The Greedy Wolf Army surged out of the east gate of Yuntian Palace, passed through the palace gate, and left the capital.

outside the city.

The Northern Qi princess's envoy delegation, which had already been taken over by the Southern Qing army, suddenly felt the ground shaking rapidly.

The entire team immediately went on high alert.

Inside the carriage, the eldest princess of Northern Qi, puzzled, leaned out and asked the guard:

"Your Southern Qing Kingdom has such fierce people? Why are there so many disturbances even outside the capital?"

The garrison commander immediately moved to Bengbu.

He didn't know what was going on either.

next moment.

The dust settled as the iron horses came to a stop.

A majestic army appeared before them.

Seeing the imposing and unstoppable Greed Wolf Iron Cavalry, the Northern Qi princess's eyes lit up.

Along the way, she had seen many Nanqing troops protecting her, but the invisible killing intent emanating from this particular force was unmatched by any other army.

"As expected of the army of the capital of Southern Qing, they are indeed the elite of the elite, and seem to be even stronger than the Black Riders that the Northern Qi court officials were talking about."

However, Tian Shu revealed a token unique to Li Chengxian of Yuntian Palace and shouted:

"His Highness has ordered that the Grand Princess of Northern Qi be brought to the capital palace from Yuntian Palace. You may now report back to the guards."

Before the guard could answer, they surrounded the entourage of the Northern Qi princess.

Although the garrison commander had never heard of Yuntian Palace or seen this army, he could recognize the token that belonged exclusively to the Prince of Nanqing.

Furthermore, the fact that the other party left the city so openly suggests that they could not possibly be an imposter carrying out a false imperial decree.

Seeing that the other side was escorting the carriages and horses forward and had no intention of paying attention to him, the garrison commander bowed slightly and went to report.

At the same time, Gong Dian went to Emperor Qing's study again.

"Your Majesty, the Greedy Wolf Army has left the palace to fetch the Northern Qi Princess. Are you really going to let Prince Chengxian continue to act recklessly?"

As Emperor Qing's personal bodyguard, Gong Dian was more outspoken than other ministers.

"You don't understand, just let him be."
