Chapter 68: The King of Yan Arrives at Dongyi City, and the Drama Begins

At this moment, Emperor Qing is quite satisfied with Li Chengyun, the future successor.

Compared with Li Chengqian, there is a world of difference between him and Li Chengqian.

However, he can only feel at ease if he keeps this person in his palm. Otherwise, there is no point in keeping him and it is better to abandon him.

After leaving the camp, Li Chengyun took a horse-drawn carriage, accompanied by Lao Huang and five hundred black cavalry, and headed towards Dongyi City in a mighty manner.

Along the way, he quietly deployed and sent another 500 black cavalrymen to hide in the dark, ready to be deployed at any time.

Inside the carriage.

Si Lili was soft and gentle, she nestled in Li Chengyun's arms and whispered softly:

"Your Highness, why do you insist on going to Dongyi City? Without the protection of General Qin and others, I am afraid that the people of Northern Qi and Dongyi are willing to harm you."

After saying this, she stared at him with worried eyes.

Li Chengyun chuckled, stroked her hips with his palm, and said:
"I have my own plans. They thought I was in danger, but they didn't know that I was deliberately showing them this."

"Lili, don't worry about my safety. Even if I encounter all kinds of adventures in the future, don't be surprised! As your man, I am much stronger than you can imagine."

Upon hearing this, Si Lili let out a coquettish sound, pressed her body closer to him, and whispered:

"Of course I have full faith in the prince. With Grandmaster Huang's protection, even if Dongyi City has a thousand tricks, it will be difficult to hurt the prince in the slightest."

"But Your Highness still needs to be cautious. If the Northern Qi Imperial Preceptor and Si Gu Jian join forces, Your Highness may be in danger."

Li Chengyun chuckled, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes:
"If I were really in danger, what would Lili do? Would she reveal her identity and return to Northern Qi?"

When Si Lili heard this, her expression suddenly changed, her sorrow and resentment were evident in her words. She stared at him and said:

"How could the prince regard me as that kind of woman? Since I have become the prince's woman, how could I ever think of returning to Northern Qi?"

"If the prince has no trust in me, you can just give me death. I will never resist!"

Having said this, Si Lili's eyes were filled with tears, she was heartbroken and almost on the verge of tears.

Seeing her heartbroken look, Li Chengyun suddenly realized that he had said something wrong and said hurriedly:
"This is my fault. I was just joking with Lili just now. Don't take it to heart!"

"As long as I am alive, I will never leave Li Li."

Upon hearing this, Si Lili burst into laughter and said:
"Your Majesty will surely live a hundred years. How can those villains be your opponents? I wish to accompany your Majesty forever."

Li Chengyun hugged Si Lili tighter, stared at the outside world through the carriage window, and muttered to himself:

"Indeed, those villains are not worth mentioning. Who is the hunter and who is the prey this time? I am afraid they still don't understand it."

……

Soon after.

Li Chengyun and his group have arrived outside Dongyi City.

Dongyi City has no city walls to protect it, but the speed at which information flows is astonishing.

Soon, everyone knew that the visitor was the King of Yan of Qing Kingdom, Li Chengyun.

As for his purpose, no one knows yet.

Li Chengyun did not break into Dongyi City directly.

Instead, he took five hundred black cavalrymen and waited outside the city, awaiting Si Gu Jian's arrival.

And Si Gu Jian did not disappoint his expectations.

Upon hearing of his arrival, the guardian of Dongyi City went out of the city in person to greet him.

See Si Gu Jian personally come out of the city to greet him.

Since the other party was a grand master, Li Chengyun treated him with sincere courtesy.

He stepped out of the carriage slowly, bowed, and spoke respectfully:
"I've met the great master."

Si Gu Jian also returned the greeting, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, King Yan."

Li Chengyun looked up and down, examining the legendary grandmaster Si Gu Jian.

Seeing that his appearance was ordinary, even a little ugly, but the fierce momentum he exuded attracted others' attention like a magnet, making people involuntarily ignore his appearance. When Li Chengyun was examining him, Si Gu Jian also seemed quite polite and said:
"I have heard of the great name of the King of Yan for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. After seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is indeed well-deserved."

"The Prince of Yan is in his prime and has such a strong strength. He is truly one of the most talented young men in the world."

"I am ashamed to say that when I was King Yan's age, I was still ignorant."

Although he was talking to Li Chengyun, his mind was always on Old Huang, who was playing with his fingers beside the carriage.

Si Gu Jian knew in his heart that this great master was the real key.

Li Chengyun shook his head slightly and said modestly:

"Grand Master, you are overpraising me. Compared with you, I am far behind you."

This is true. Although there seems to be only one level difference between the upper ninth rank and the grandmaster, the gap between them is difficult to estimate.

If a person of the ninth rank is besieged, it would be as difficult as climbing to heaven to escape.

But the grandmaster can fight against ten thousand alone, and can move or stay freely, and no one can stop him.

Otherwise, among the three major forces, there would be more than four grand masters.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Li Chengyun immediately got to the point:
"Grandmaster, I want to enter Dongyi City to take a look. I believe there will be no obstacles, right?"

Si Gu Jian nodded without hesitation:

"Of course. Our Dongyi City is a free city-state. We welcome everyone in the world to come here. However, organized armies are not allowed to enter. I'm sure the King of Yan will understand this."

What he meant was that Li Chengyun could naturally enter the city and bring a small number of followers with him.

But the black riders behind him were not allowed to enter.

When Li Chengyun heard what he said, he understood, but he didn't take it seriously.

It was because he knew clearly that these black knights would be of little use in the subsequent events.

It was just right to leave it outside Dongyi City as bait to paralyze the enemy.

Seeing Li Chengyun agree so readily, Si Gu Jian shook his head secretly.

In fact, he originally wanted to allow Li Chengyun to bring a hundred black cavalry into the city.

After all, as a prince, it is normal for him to have guards with him for his own safety.

But unexpectedly, Li Chengyun did not bargain at all and agreed directly.

In Si Gu Jian's opinion, Li Chengyun's move was really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and seemed quite rash.

A warrior above the ninth rank can truly be called a master when looking at the world.

However, in front of Si Gu Jian, it was nothing.

Among his thirteen disciples in Jianlu, twelve have reached the ninth rank. It would be a piece of cake for them to take Li Chengyun's head.

This person is just a playboy who becomes arrogant and conceited after achieving a little success. He is too self-righteous.

Si Gu Jian's interest in Li Chengyun has completely disappeared.

Although he was still talking to him, his mind had already turned to Old Huang, who had remained silent.

He looked carefully and found that Lao Huang was just an ordinary driver.

He was dressed in rickshaw driver's clothes and his behavior showed the habits of a rickshaw driver. From time to time, he stroked the old horse, which was skinny but vigorous.

This disguise technique is really clever.

There was no trace of the aura of a grandmaster emanating from him. He was completely different from other grandmasters he had seen. He was just like an ordinary mortal.

Si Gu Jian felt a little more concerned, but that was all.

Next, he will join forces with Ku He to attack.

The great master disguised as a groom in front of him would never be able to withstand such an attack.

Everything in the world is illusory, only strength is the foundation for survival.
