Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

If the two armies were to fight each other for a year or so, not only would the wedding date be postponed, but the national strength of Northern Qi would also be greatly damaged. It would be like injuring 10,000 enemies and 8,000 of our own.

If the news of Qin Ye's murder of Ye Qingmei was used properly, things would be much easier and relatively gentler for the innocent people.

"If you kill me, the two countries will surely go to war again. If that happens, then you can come! You will be helping me!"

Qin Ye said in a deep voice.

How can a general not fight? Their Qin family was established through military merit, and now they have reached the top of Qing Kingdom. One step further will be a bottomless abyss. If I go, it will just avoid His Majesty's suspicion of the Qin family, and my sons and nephews will have a broader sky.

What’s more important is that war will also come, and war means merit!

In this way, the Qin family can continue to pass on their legacy safely for decades!

Li An couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, "It was just a joke. Northern Qi is the orthodox country among all nations, a model of etiquette, so how could it kill an envoy from another country? I was just telling you to have basic respect for the Grand Master, even if he is from an enemy country!"

It is reported that Chen Pingping seems to have been banished to his home. Although he still secretly controls the Control Yuan, his flexibility is no longer the same as before.

After the handover is completed, it will be time to let Sean take some time off, and then I will give your Qin family a big gift!

Qin Ye gritted his teeth and waved away the soldiers rushing forward from behind him, signaling them to stay calm, then Li An said:

"Now that we've had enough fun, let's get down to business!"

Chapter 223 Shocking Secret!

Li An pointed to the prisoner car behind him, where He Daoren and Shang Shanhu were guarding on both sides. As for Lang Tao and Haitang Duoduo, they had returned to the capital due to the lack of expert defense forces in the Shangjing Palace.

"The person is over there, send someone to check. Once your people have withdrawn from the border, Ye Liuyun will naturally be handed over to you."

"How can I trust you!"

If Li An kills Ye Liuyun after their people have retreated, what will happen if the Ye family far away in Kyoto rebels?

Don't underestimate the Ye family's background. Although it won't allow them to succeed, the Qing Kingdom will also be seriously injured! And this scene is undoubtedly what the person in front of him wants to see.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. If you don't believe it, you can just slit your throat and commit suicide on the spot. Then the negotiations between the two countries will be invalid, and we will have no choice but to fight!"

Li An chuckled, like a villain: "But I think that Emperor Qing didn't transfer you all the way from the west to here just to let you commit suicide in front of me, right?"

It was just what Li An wanted to do if he killed Qin Ye. If he committed suicide, his Qin family would be in trouble.

It seems that can only be the case.

"Then let's do as you say. I hope you can keep your promise and not cause any more trouble!" Qin Ye ended the meeting with an expressionless face.

Then, the civil servants of Qing State went to the prisoner car to check Ye Liuyun's identity. After confirming that it was correct, a special person kept a close eye on the prisoner car to ensure that it would not be replaced during the journey.

The handover lasted until the afternoon of the next day, when the soldiers of Qing State withdrew from the border of Northern Qi State, and Cangzhou County, which had been lost for a year, returned to the embrace of Northern Qi State again.

"Ye Liuyun, are you convinced?"

Ye Liuyun's face was ruddy inside the prison van. He was in good spirits except that he had lost one hand and one foot and was sitting against the iron pillar. The other hand and foot that were still attached to his body were also limp and weak, as if all his limbs were useless.

"I am convinced, but do you really need to go to the trouble of drugging a disabled person?" Ye Liuyun raised his head, his eyes gradually brightening.

His face was full of smiles, and his tone was indescribably casual and gentle, as if he had returned to his initial calm and relaxed state.

The conversation between the two was like that of old friends who had not seen each other for many years. How could they be as eager and competitive as before?

Li An sighed slightly. He didn't expect that Ye Liuyun, the great master that everyone in the world feared, would be willing to be a pawn for Emperor Qing and end up like this. It was really sad and lamentable!

In the original novel, as the golden undercover of Emperor Qing, he played an important role in the battle of Dadong Mountain. Not only did he kill Ku He, but he and Si Gu Jian also suffered losses. The reason for him to do so was very simple: for the Ye family!

Even though he has been away from home for many years and appears to have no concerns at all, he is the one who values ​​his family the most - that is the family that his brother has worked hard to maintain!

"Ha! As a grandmaster at the pinnacle of martial arts, with the fighting power to defeat an entire country, theoretically you will not obey anyone. Even if that person is the emperor, as long as you have that idea, you can make him live in the shadow of death every day."

Although Ye Liuyun is not a match for Emperor Qing, he cannot withstand such a person staring at him all the time, not to mention that this person is a grandmaster?

Seeing Qin Ye's increasingly dark complexion, Li An spoke to himself, "For you who is self-taught and has this kind of martial arts, money and status are meaningless. Emperor Qing wants to bribe you to work for him, and the only thing that can move you is your family's interests."

"I don't know if he promised to make the Ye family prosperous forever in Qing Kingdom or not. Is the ending of the Ye family what you expected? Maybe Beiqi can fulfill this promise for you?"

In the end, what Li Ang cared about was not Ye Liuyun's answer.

"For Emperor Qing, is it worth it?"

There was no answer to this question. Ye Liuyun in the prison car had already lowered his head and remained silent.

Li An didn't cause any more trouble and handed Ye Liuyun over to Qin Ye, although it was not complete.

"In that case, we'll see you later!"

There was a hint of threat in Qin Ye's words.

When two countries go to war, hundreds of thousands of troops are often involved. Although the Grandmaster is powerful, there is a limit to his power. They are human, not gods. Even if they can change the local war, it is just a drop in the bucket for the overall situation.

See you on the battlefield!

"I'm afraid I'll have to let you down. This may be the last time we meet." Li An said meaningfully.

When Qin Ye's troops slowly disappeared on the horizon, Li An called Shangshan Hu to return home. Shangshan Hu then reinforced the defense of this area.

"National Master." Uesugi Tora said with a respectful tone.

Not only did Li An save his adoptive father, but now Li An has integrated all the forces in the country and can be regarded as the number one person in the court. Coupled with his strength as a grandmaster and his numerous followers, Uesugi Tora is sincerely convinced of him.

Not to mention Li Ang, Yan Xiaoyi is not an easy person to deal with!

"What's the matter?"

"Didn't the Imperial Master say yesterday that he had something for me and my foster father to do?"

"Don't rush this. I'll give you news in a few days." Li An pondered the plan for a while, and his brows gradually relaxed. "If you want to do anything, you must let His Majesty know in advance. This is particularly important!"

Knowing that Li An was pointing at him, Shang Shanhu clasped his fists and said, "I understand."

Li An nodded, "Then let's go back!"

When Li An returned to Shangjing, it was more than ten days later. Although he rode at full speed, there were many civil officials accompanying him, so he could not go any faster even if he wanted to.

"Master He, have you repaid Chen Pingping's favor?"

Looking at the imperial palace that was about to arrive ahead, Li An suddenly asked Taoist He.

"Master, Mr. He's life will only belong to Da Qi from now on!"

Looking at the solemn face of Taoist He, Li An also continued to tell fortunes calmly. After all, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the rope for ten years.

After confirming the result, Li An told He Daoren: "After you finish discussing with His Majesty in the palace, you will be busy. At that time, you will go to the Black Ice Platform under Sean's command. There will be something for you to do."

"Yes, Imperial Master!"

Li An nodded and quickened his pace.

The Northern Qi Imperial Palace is still as beautiful as a dream.

In the main hall, apart from the officials who dealt with diplomatic affairs who went down to do their own official duties, those who remained in the hall were basically useful people who, in Li An's opinion, would not leak information.

The Grand Tutor, the Prime Minister, Sean, and a group of warriors above the ninth rank.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"Master, feel free to tell me what you want to say."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li An sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "Now, in addition to training soldiers and producing grain to strengthen our own strength, there are more ways to deal with Qing. And I have some information here. If used properly, it may greatly weaken the strength of Qing. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises!"

"Oh?" Zhan Doudou's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she became interested. She and Li An had done everything they should and shouldn't have done in private, except for the last step of being husband and wife. After feeling the nourishment of love, Zhan Doudou was more eager to get Li An's care in an open and aboveboard manner.

Seeing that Li An had a way to greatly weaken Qing, the matter between the two of them could be a little closer. He couldn't help but hurriedly said, "Tell us one by one."

"This first piece of news is about Fan Xian. He is the son of Emperor Qing and Ye Qingmei! In other words, he is the current prince of Qing!"

Quiet, the whole hall was filled with silence.

Chapter 224: Plan to capture Fan Jian.

"Do many people know about this?"

Xiao En asked in a deep voice. He had already learned from the Imperial Master Li An that his Xiao family had already been extinct and had no descendants. And everything before was just a plot by Chen Pingping.

He always thought that Chen Pingping deliberately concealed the truth and that the information he had heard was the most credible.

This point was also taken advantage of by Chen Pingping, who knew him well. The few words that he inadvertently revealed to him over the years were just to make him firmly believe one thing - Fan Xian was his grandson!

In order to find out the secrets of the temple, this scheme was set up for nearly twenty years.

"Not many people know about it, but not too few either." Li An shook his head. "At least Fan Xian's adoptive father Fan Jian and Emperor Qing in the Southern Dynasty Palace know about it. As for whether the old queen mother knows about it, I'm not sure."

At the end, Ang Lee rarely used an uncertain tone.

"The key point of the matter is not who knows, but Fan Xian's mother - Ye Qingmei!"

Sean was shocked again when he heard this. Even though he had heard this name before, he still couldn't believe that such a godly person would actually marry Emperor Qing and have a son. The most important thing is, the son of such a person is not the crown prince?

Emperor Qing laughed at me for losing my mind, and I laughed at Emperor Qing for not being able to see clearly!

"Master, are you talking about Ye Qingmei's mysterious death?" Zhan Doudou asked slowly.

As the emperor of Northern Qi, she naturally took over all the information and intelligence networks of Northern Qi. Although the previous emperor was unable to get any secrets about the temple from Sean, he also paid attention to this woman who was rich enough to rival a country in the business world.

This man is extraordinary and full of creative ideas.

If you think about it a little, you will know that so many things that are not from this place have been invented. Can one person really be so smart?

In addition to Ye Qingmei's business methods, her unknown origins made the late emperor, the emperor of the world, full of curiosity, but no matter how he investigated, he could not see the truth.

These mysteries also gave Zhan Doudou a simple understanding of Ye Qingmei.

Unexpectedly, she is Fan Xian’s biological mother?

Then she disappeared mysteriously, and considering the context of the national teacher's words, it seems that she was killed.

Although Zhan Doudou admired Fan Xian, he did not think there was anything wrong with using his mother's death to make a fuss. After all, the two were now enemies, so naturally they would do whatever it took.

"That's right. Ye Qingmei's death was not simple. She was strangled by many forces!"

Li An said in a deep voice: "The greatest force among them is Fan Xian's biological father - Emperor Qing!"

"what?"

Haitang Duoduo exclaimed, hiding behind the beaded curtain. The Queen Mother Wei, who was invited by Zhan Doudou, did not blame the people in front of her, because even she was shocked. After tidying up her manners, the Queen Mother asked: "Such a huge help is enough for Emperor Qing to fulfill his ambition, why did he kill Ye Qingmei, his first wife?"

The Queen Mother did not know that the two had not married.

Ang Lee did not explain much.

He just sighed and said, "Because of fear. For the sake of imperial power, Emperor Qing can do many things, just like what is happening now. For the sake of his Li family, or more precisely, for his own power, he can get rid of the Ye family, the pillar of the country, not to mention the lives of those high-end ninth-grade warriors! In his opinion, it is these warriors who are threatening the imperial power and threatening the imperial family."

"Ye Qingmei has a mysterious background, extraordinary means, and she is also rich enough to rival a country. Of course, he wants to kill her! Even if she is his beloved woman!"

After saying these words, the men were silent and the women were in tears, except for Sean who sneered.

"Emperor Qing is a qualified emperor, but he is not a good father, let alone a good husband!"

Zhan Doudou's words were brief and firm. There was a hint of explanation and trust in her eyes as she looked at Li Ang.

Li An smiled back and nodded tacitly, showing his trust.

After a moment of silence, Li An continued, "Most of the forces that killed Ye Qingmei were massacred afterwards. Emperor Qing turned a blind eye and let Chen Pingping do whatever he wanted to prevent the news from leaking out. In addition, Emperor Qing felt guilty and had mixed feelings. But one force was saved, and that was Qin Ye of the Qin family!"

“Is the news true?”

Suspicious Sean asked the question subconsciously, and realized the inappropriateness of his words in an instant. This was questioning the other party's ability to eat in person. He immediately said hurriedly: "That's not what he meant."

"Of course I know. The news is absolutely true. This is why I summoned you to His Majesty."

Xiao En understood clearly, and bowed to Zhan Doudou and said, "I know what to do."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Li An pointed at Taoist He behind him and said, "Master Xiao has been isolated from the world for many years, so he may not know this person very well. Taoist He, a ninth-rank warrior, may be able to go to Qing Kingdom on behalf of Master Xiao."

"Master He, I meet Master Xiao."

"You're welcome. I've learned some information about Mr. He during this period of time." The implication is that he has already investigated.

"It goes without saying that I am a master in front of the national master. I am really showing off my skills in front of an expert. I feel ashamed of myself!"

Seeing that the two of them had connected, Li An spoke again:

"This first piece of news can cause unrest in Qing. Although Fan Xian has considerable power, it mostly relies on the trust of Emperor Qing. After this news is released, the favor he received from the Emperor in Xuankong Mountain in Qing will no longer exist. As for the power over the inner treasury that he is about to obtain, it is even more like a mirage."
