Chapter 72: Grandmaster's siege! Is Lao Huang and Li Chengyun in crisis?
Shen Zhong's side.

Everyone was plotting a good strategy to take down Li Chengyun.

At this moment, Li Chengyun should have been trapped in a dragnet and unable to escape.

According to the agreement between him and Si Gu Jian, Northern Qi would send its warriors to attack first, while Si Gu Jian would wait for an opportunity to cut off Li Chengyun's retreat and ensure that he could not escape back to Southern Qing.

In other words, the national teacher Ku He would first fight against the grandmaster beside Li Chengyun alone.

Then everyone, including Si Gu Jian, found an opportunity to attack and kill Li Chengyun together.

Once Li Chengyun surrenders, they will be able to deal with the Grandmaster Horseman with ease.

Shen Zhong's plan was actually to send someone forward first to consume the strength of Grand Master Ma Fu, and then the National Master Ku He could accomplish the task with one sword.

However, Ku He had other thoughts in mind.

He had full confidence in his own abilities, so he decided to take direct action to restrain the grandmaster.

Even if it is difficult to defeat him in a short period of time, it can ensure that the grandmaster cannot split himself to rescue Li Chengyun.

As for the rest of the people, dealing with Li Chengyun, a ninth-grade warrior, was a piece of cake.

As for Dongyi City, it was responsible for preventing the Black Cavalry outside the city from causing disturbances.

Si Gu Jian waited for an opportunity and would eventually join forces with Ku He to kill the great master around Li Chengyun.

After some thoughtful discussion.

Shen Zhong finally nodded and agreed to Ku He's plan. He also had full faith in Ku He's strength.

The great master beside Li Chengyun seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and he must have just broken through the realm not long ago.

"Grandmaster Ku He, this important task is entrusted to you! Li Chengyun will be unable to escape this time. He managed to escape the last assassination attempt outside Kyoto, but he also caused Saint Haitang to be injured. This time, he must pay for his blood debt with blood!"

There was confidence in his solemn words.

Before Ku He could speak, Lang Tao could no longer hold back and jumped out:
"Master Shen is right. Li Chengyun actually dared to hurt Junior Sister Haitang. His crime is unforgivable! Master, if we can catch Li Chengyun alive later, we must capture him. I want him to suffer!"

Ku He shook his head slightly and said:
"Don't create unnecessary trouble. You just need to cooperate with Si Gu Jian, your junior sister and others. Go all out and kill Li Chengyun with lightning speed!"

He also didn't think that Li Chengyun could have a chance to escape under such a complicated arrangement.

In this situation, two grandmasters are facing off against one grandmaster, and there are also several warriors above the ninth rank surrounding them. Even if Li Chengyun has the ability to reach the sky and penetrate the earth, he can't escape this disaster.

He was just being cautious and didn't want to make any mistakes to avoid heavy losses.

When doing things, one should strive to be thorough and not leave any mistakes.

Therefore, he would not agree to Lang Tao's ridiculous proposal.

Lang Tao's proposal was rejected. Although he was unwilling, he also knew that the overall situation was more important, so he said:
"Yes, Master, I will kill Li Chengyun with my own hands and avenge the injury my junior sister suffered last time!"

Shen Zhong heard this and smiled:

"Please rest assured, Master Imperial Master. We will go all out this time and never slack off. We are determined to solve the future troubles of Northern Qi! As long as Li Chengyun and the great masters around him die, Southern Qing will be like losing an arm. If Emperor Qing hears this news, I'm sure his face will be extremely embarrassed!"

Just when the three of them were full of confidence.

Suddenly, a Jinyiwei hurriedly pushed open the door.

Shen Zhong frowned upon seeing this, feeling secretly unhappy, thinking that this Jinyiwei was really not steady enough.

However, when he heard the words of the Jinyiwei, he was stunned.

"Reporting to the commander, Li Chengyun and his great master jumped out of the window and escaped, snatching a carriage, and even claimed that he had captured the Holy Maiden Haitang!"

When Lang Tao heard this, his heart was shocked and he said in surprise:
"What are you talking about? Junior Sister Haitang was captured by Li Chengyun? How is she doing now?!"

The Royal Guard shook his head blankly and replied, "We only saw Li Chengyun and Saint Haitang get on the car and leave. As for Saint Haitang's current situation, we really don't know!"

Lang Tao's heart sank and a chill suddenly rose in his stomach.

Junior Sister Haitang was indeed in the restaurant, and she was well hidden, how could she be captured so easily? !
But the fact is that Junior Sister Haitang has been captured. The fate of a saint girl from a country who was captured as an assassin can be imagined.

Lang Tao showed a look of pain, knowing that Junior Sister Haitang would suffer endless torture.

Different from Lang Tao's excitement, Shen Zhong quickly calmed down after hearing the shocking news and had a plan in mind.

He understood that this was a critical moment, so he immediately gave the order with decisive words:
"Quickly order everyone to implement a full-scale blockade and make sure that Li Chengyun and the Tian Zongshi beside him cannot escape!"

After the Jinyiwei took the order and left, Shen Zhong turned to Ku He with a solemn expression and said:

"Grandmaster, now is the time to take action!"

Hearing this, Lang Tao became anxious and worried:
"But my junior sister is still in her carriage. What should we do about her safety? How can we leave her in danger?!"

Upon hearing this, Ku He remained silent, without saying a word, and walked away.

Lang Tao had no choice but to turn to Shenzhong, his eyes full of expectation.

Shen Zhong's face was calm, and he spoke slowly:
"The Saint should be aware of the situation she is in, and I believe she will not blame us."

"Compared with the importance of the mission and the safety of the Saint, which one is more important? It's obvious at a glance!"

"Of course, if there is a chance, we must do our best to rescue the Saint."

"But if..."

He stopped talking here and did not continue.

However, Lang Tao already understood what he meant, and knew it in his heart.

It was a critical moment for life and death. If things really became hopeless, Junior Sister Haitang would be doomed to be sacrificed.

He was agitated and furious.

Haitang is his junior sister and also the saint of Northern Qi. How could she die so easily in Dongyi City?
But faced with Shen Zhong and his master's resolute attitude, Lang Tao had no choice but to accept it sadly.

His face was ferocious and he kicked the table next to him to pieces. In the end, he still suppressed his grief and anger and walked quickly in the direction where Ku He left.

On Li Chengyun's side, Old Huang drove the carriage among the broken arms and limbs, like a strong wind blowing fallen leaves, unstoppable.

suddenly.

Old Huang slowed down a little, raised his lips slightly, and said with a smile:
"Sir, there are two people approaching quickly. I think they must be the so-called Grand Master."

When Haitang Duoduo heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

That’s great! As long as her master and Grandmaster Si Gu Jian can arrive in time, Li Chengyun will be unable to escape this disaster.

By then, she should be safe and sound.

Upon hearing that the Grand Master was coming, Li Chengyun's face remained calm. He asked calmly:
"Old Huang, these are two great masters coming this time. Are you sure you can handle them?"

Old Huang chuckled but said nothing.

Silence is his most distinctive attitude.

Obviously, Old Huang did not take the two great masters, Ku He and Si Gu Jian, seriously, and the same was true for Li Chengyun.

He had witnessed Lao Huang's astonishing sword energy, and he also knew that Lao Huang had not yet used the power of the sword box.

If Ku He and Si Gu Jian looked down on Lao Huang, they would probably be beheaded as soon as they met.

At this moment, Li Chengyun was relaxed and at ease.

It only takes a moment to get rid of these two great masters, and Northern Qi and Dongyi will no longer pose a threat.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Haitang Duoduo was filled with confusion and didn't understand what he meant.
