There is no remark information for Haitang Duoduo, which means that her martial arts ranking is not among the tenth in this world.
In the current martial arts ranking, below Wu Zhu and the four great masters is Li Changan.
Then there are Zhao Gao, Hong Sixiang, and Jingwei. The tenth place is not even as high as Haitang Duoduo.
Haitang Duoduo was still angry, so Si Lili asked gently, "Your Highness, is there any misunderstanding between you and Haitang?"
Li Changan sighed helplessly, "Last year, I met the Saint and the Jinyiwei on the shore of the North Sea. In order to reduce the casualties of the Shadow Secret Guard, I gave the Saint some medicine."
“I never thought that the Saint Lady could not resist the effects of the drug and could not help kissing me.
If I hadn't taken her to the North Sea to sober up, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Hearing Li Changan's shameless statement, Haitang Duoduo said bitterly, "You deliberately concealed your cultivation and tricked me, but now you have become the victim!"
Li Changan corrected him, "I had no choice but to hide my cultivation, and I didn't do anything to you, right? It was you who couldn't control yourself."
Haitang Duoduo gritted her teeth and said, "How shameless!"
"I don't want to argue with you. You know the secret that your majesty is a girl, and I know the secret that you are a grandmaster. Let's keep each other's secrets. I'm leaving now."
"Cough cough!"
Li Changan coughed twice and said, "Saint Lady, you are wrong.
If we were tied, there would be no problem with the deal.”
"The current situation is that you are my prisoner. How can we have an equal trade?"
“As long as I give the order, the Saint of Northern Qi will be my prisoner.
I will take you to Shangjing City in a prisoner carriage. What will happen?"
Haitang Duoduo was extremely angry. A new grandmaster emerged in the world and she unexpectedly ran into him.
If such a saint was imprisoned, it would be a huge blow to the confidence of Northern Qi.
"Then tell me, what do you want to do?"
Li Changan said, "My request is very generous. From today until I leave Northern Qi, you will be my subordinate."
“Of course you can be your saint on the surface, but your actions must be under my command.
Otherwise, we'll just have to fight to the death and expose each other's secrets."
As soon as Li Changan finished speaking, Si Lili reminded him, "Duoduo, you can't casually tell His Highness's secrets. After all, he is much stronger than you."
"If you displease His Highness and he arrests you again, you will never be free again."
Haitang Duoduo looked at Si Lili with a serious expression, feeling somewhat confused.
"Li Li, you have been completely bewitched by Li Changan. You are really being ungrateful!"
Si Lili blushed and said, "No way, my elbows have always been bent inwards."
Haitang Duoduo was speechless, as Si Lili in front of her had gone insane.
In the end, Haitang accepted Li Changan's conditions. She was Li Changan's captive, and this condition was already very lenient.
Seeing that she agreed, Li Changan ordered her, "There is no women's tent outside, so you can stay here for the night."
"Tomorrow morning, you and the king will go do something together."
Li Changan was not afraid that Haitang would run away. If she really wanted to run away, he could catch her back in a blink of an eye.
Haitang Duoduo was extremely depressed, so she had to find a corner to squat down and spend the night there.
Kyoto, Inspection Institute.
Chen Pingping was also paying attention to Fan Xian's itinerary.
Shadow stepped out of the darkness and reported the latest situation.
"Dean, Uesugi Tora has led his men south and will encounter the delegation tomorrow."
"Yan Xiaoyi also violated military regulations and led his men to kill the envoys. The princess must have passed on the order."
"Tianyi Dao Langtao and Haitang Duoduo left Shangjing City, and their target is also the diplomatic envoy."
"Guo Baokun brought a dozen veterans and followed Fan Xian's motorcade from a distance, hoping to rescue him when the opportunity arose."
Chen Pingping's face was calm, as if he was weighing the strength of all parties and wondering whether it was appropriate to withdraw the Black Cavalry now.
"Shadow, the veterans that Guo Baokun brought with him are all above the seventh rank."
Shadow replied, "They are elite soldiers above the seventh rank, with rich combat experience and good at joint attacks and encirclements. They were secretly introduced by our people."
Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing had been planning for more than twenty years just to get Fan Xian to extract the secret of the temple from Sean.
Fan Xian's rapid promotion was also to serve this plan, and now has come to the most critical moment.
"Shadow, withdraw the Black Knights."
Shadow asked worriedly, "Dean, Fan Xian is facing so many people, it is too dangerous to withdraw the Black Cavalry."
"Yan Xiaoyi, Shangshan Hu, and Lang Tao are all ninth-rank masters. I can't defeat them for a while!"
Chen Pingping said in a deep voice, “Before Sean was injured, he was at the ninth rank like me.
Now that he has been nourished by Fei Jie's poison, he should be at the level of ninth grade."
"His hearing has deteriorated a lot, but after rigorous training in his early years, it is still better than that of ordinary masters below the ninth rank."
Shadow understood and said, "I understand. Only if I hide nearby can I avoid being discovered by Sean."
Chen Pingping said, "After the encounter tomorrow, you will lurk nearby and wait for an opportunity to protect Fan Xian."
“You don’t have to help Fan Xian with anything he wants to do.
You are only responsible for his life or death. If his life is in danger, you just need to save him at the critical moment."
Chen Pingping is confident in Shadow's ability to hide. At least Yan Xiaoyi, Shangshan Hu, Lang Tao, and Sean will not be able to detect it.
Ever since Fan Xian came to Beijing, many unexpected events have occurred in Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing's plan.
But fortunately, the two of them were in power and managed to turn the situation around.
The last step tomorrow will have the most variables.
If Fan Xian doesn't have enough quick wit, he might fail.
After twenty years of hard planning, success or failure will depend on tomorrow.
A few miles outside Fan Xian’s camp.
A dozen veterans dressed as farmers were roasting sweet potatoes.
Guo Baokun was tired from running around, so he took a rest under a tree not far away.
This wise general, who had been pampered since childhood, had never suffered such a punishment, but for the only chance to save Guo Youzhi, he had to give it a try.
He looked at the veterans holding sickles, axes and rolling pins, and he was unsure whether these people were capable of doing it.
At this time, the veteran leader Zhao Da, with a smile on his face, handed over a sweet potato.
"Mr. Guo, it's time to eat."
Guo Baokun took a look at the sweet potato and showed a look of disgust.
"Zhao Da, are these people you found... any good?"
Zhao Da's eyes gleamed with a fierce look, "Alright! Killing people and robbing goods are both above the standard!"
Guo Baokun had no experience in hiring killers, but when he wanted to find one, someone suddenly came to him.
He was pressed for time and had no better channels, so he hired these veterans.
Zhao Da chuckled, "Mr. Guo, eat some sweet potatoes."
Guo Baokun took a look at the black sweet potato and still felt he couldn't eat it.
"No, I'd rather starve to death than eat this!" Guo Baokun, who lives a life of luxury, has never eaten such down-to-earth food.
Although the food he brought had been eaten up, he still couldn't accept it.
Zhao Da was very patient with the sponsor. "Okay, I'll keep it for you. You can eat it when you're hungry."
Two hours later, the old soldier fell into a deep sleep, but Guo Baokun was so hungry that he couldn't sleep.
He picked up the sweet potato that Zhao Da left for him, peeled it with disgust and took two bites.
After taking these two bites, Guo Shao's eyes suddenly lit up!
"It smells so good! It smells so good!"
dozens of miles away.
Yan Xiaoyi had a sinister look in his eyes as he galloped with a group of cavalrymen.
On his way here, his route overlapped with Li Changan's convoy. He was afraid of being discovered by a ninth-rank master, so he deliberately took a detour.
Now it seems that Yan Xiaoyi has a tight time limit to intercept Fan Xian before he leaves the country, so he has to travel overnight.
Fan Xian's camp.
In the steel prison van wrapped with layers of iron chains, Sean was trying to force Fei Jie's poison out of his body bit by bit.
Sean is not only the head of intelligence, but also a master of poison techniques who is as famous as Fei Jie. His poison techniques are hard to guard against.
Chen Pingping arranged for Fei Jie to teach Fan Xian how to learn poison from a young age, and also to prepare for Fan Xian to escort Sean.
The art of poison is too sinister and treacherous. If you don't know it, you might be killed just by talking to Sean.
Therefore, Fan Xian must be a master of poison in order to successfully complete the plan of Chen Pingping and Emperor Qing.
The only masters with Fan Xian are Zong Zhui and Gaoda. Zong Zhui is Fan Tisi's loyal subordinate.
Gao Da is the leader of the Tiger Guards lent to Fan Xian by Fan Jian, an eighth-rank master at the peak of his powers, and is known to be invincible below the ninth rank.
The others were the regular guards of the delegation, the experts from the Inspection Institute who escorted Sean, and a dozen tiger guards of the seventh and eighth ranks.
These forces are not weak, but they are still a bit weak compared to the opponent he is about to face.
The next morning.
Li Changan, Si Lili and Haitang Duoduo walked out of the tent together.
Wang Qinian pretended to be surprised and said, "Your Highness, who is this girl?"
Li Changan pointed at Haitang Duoduo and introduced her, "The Saintess of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo, has come specially to greet me."
Wang Qinian exclaimed, "Your Excellency the Saint is really enthusiastic. She even came to greet me late at night. I admire you!"
Li Changan said to Wang Qinian, "Today, the Saint and I will go south to do some work. Teng Zijing will go with us. You lead the convoy and move forward slowly."
After arranging the tent matters, Li Changan, Haitang Duoduo and Teng Zijing rushed to Fan Xian's camp together.
The purpose of bringing Teng Zijing along is to let him fight with Yan Xiaoyi. When masters fight alone, they can enhance their understanding of martial arts.
Teng Zijing is a ninth-grade hidden weapon, and Yan Xiaoyi is a ninth-grade arrow weapon. Both are powerful long-range weapons that can damage the enemy and have some similarities.
After walking for dozens of miles, Haitang Duoduo suddenly asked with a look of disgust, "Who did you ask to pretend to be me and kidnap Lili? You are not going to wear women's clothes yourself, are you?"
In Haitang Duoduo's opinion, there are not so many ninth-grade masters in the world. There are only a few who are worth mentioning in the world.
Li Changan said casually, "I will introduce you to my other subordinate when there is a chance."
In fact, Haitang and Jingwei had met before, but Li Changan was too lazy to admit it.
Haitang Duoduo frowned and said, "Li Changan, you hide your skills and hide a master, you are not planning to rebel, right?"
"You want to rebel, that's great. I fully support you. The Queen Mother and His Majesty also support you!"
Li Changan smiled calmly, "What if I want to rebel against your Northern Qi Kingdom?"
Haitang Duoduo suddenly became mute, Ku He has not recovered from his serious injury, and Li Changan wants to mess with the Northern Qi Kingdom, as if he can do whatever he wants.
The Grandmaster is a national treasure, and the injury of the Grandmaster is definitely a top priority.
Ku He was injured this time. If Grand Master Qing Emperor was not afraid to leave the palace because of something he had in mind, he would definitely come to Northern Qi in person to cause trouble.
The three of them walked very quickly and soon arrived at a stone forest on the border.
Li Changan glanced at the stone forest and said, "Okay, we'll wait here. Teng Zijing, go check the surroundings and be careful to hide your tracks."
Teng Zijing's current outfit is similar to that of a shadow, and he cannot easily show his face to others.
"As you command, Your Highness."
Li Changan sat down on a hill, closed his eyes and began to feel the movements around him.
Haitang Duoduo was bored, so she made a flower basket with tree branches and then started picking flowers. She lived up to her superb ability in picking flowers.
"Saint, you are good at picking flowers, how about picking mushrooms?"
Haitang Duoduo glared at Li Changan, then pulled up a mushroom by its roots.
"Take a pinch with your hand!"
Li Changan nodded with satisfaction, with an expectant look on his face.
After a while, Li Changan suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Someone is coming."
Haitang Duoduo moved her ears, but could not hear anything. Her hearing was far inferior to Li Changan's.
The person who came was Shadow. He was always some distance ahead of Fan Xian, watching the movements of the delegation.
The black cavalry in the dark around the delegation have all withdrawn, and now the Daqing delegation is almost running naked.
Shadow was best at assassination, and his body movement and swordsmanship were first-rate. He had just sat cross-legged behind a stone pillar when he noticed a figure flashing before him.
This situation is very dangerous for Shadow, who has a keen sense of smell!
He didn't hear any movement, he only saw a figure flash by, which meant that this person was stronger than him!
And so far, he has only seen Wuzhu, such a person!
Or, the four great masters have arrived!
"Who is your Excellency?"
Shadow held a long sword in his hand, fully alert, and cold sweat began to appear on his back.
"laugh!"
There was a sound of true energy breaking through the air, and Shadow instinctively dodged using his lightness skills.
Let your anger out!
"Grand...master..."
Before Shadow could finish his muttering, Li Changan rushed up from behind and knocked him down with a heavy hand. From beginning to end, Shadow didn't even see the enemy.
Li Changan threw him into a cave and then left.
Yingzi is Si Gu Jian's younger brother and has a blood feud with Si Gu Jian. It is still unclear whether he will be an enemy or a friend of Li Changan in the future.
It is unlikely to tame Shadow in such a short time, and it would be a pity to kill him, so just let him sleep.
Not long after, Fan Xian implemented his plan near the stone forest.
He pretended to be Uesugi Tiger's man, let Sean go, and then brought people to chase him privately.
Because Wu Zhu told him that Ye Qingmei once traveled with Xiao En when she was young, so Fan Xian wanted to know about his mother.
If Sean is sent back to Northern Qi, it will be difficult to torture him.
So Fan Xian came up with this idea. If he could capture Sean in private, he would have enough time to torture him.
Moreover, it was openly the people of Shangshanhu of Northern Qi who kidnapped Sean, and the Northern Qi Kingdom had nothing to say.
At this time, Fan Xian had already chased to the stone forest and took a lot of effort to subdue Sean.
Just when he and Zong Zhui were about to take Sean away secretly with seven or eight Tiger Guards, an accident suddenly happened.
"Sean must die!"
A rough male voice came out, and then a man with huge dark circles under his eyes stood in front of Fan Xian.
Fan Xian was shocked. Could it be that this person stayed up too late? Otherwise, why were the circles under his eyes so dark?
