Chapter 80 Li Chengyun's strength is amazing! Emperor Qing is hiding murderous intentions! Who will be the winner in the battle for the throne?
Hearing his subordinates' words, Qin Ye's brows showed a hint of solemnity, and he said in a deep voice:
"Why are you so panicked? You are all veterans of the battlefield, why have you lost your composure?!"
The generals looked at each other, all with expressions of panic.
Suddenly, a general stepped forward and reported the latest news:
"That's right, General. The King of Yan, Li Chengyun, and his great masters not only killed the two great masters of Northern Qi and Dongyi, but also broke through the gate leading to Northern Qi! Now they have penetrated deep into the heart of Northern Qi!!"
When Qin Ye heard this, he was stunned on the spot, his mind in turmoil, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
What is the person in front of you talking about?
Li Chengyun managed to escape from Dongyi City, killed two great masters in succession, broke through the siege of thousands of troops and entered Northern Qi!
Qin Ye felt as if he was in a dream, but his reason was as cold as ice, reminding him that this was not an illusion, and that every word the general said was true.
The great master beside Li Chengyun is so powerful!
He was able to protect him and break out of the encirclement, and single-handedly fought against two great masters and killed them on the horse!
Such astonishing strength!
How could he be inferior to Li Chengyun? !
Qin Ye was shocked when he heard this, as if he was in a cloud of mist. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and murmured:
"You said the King of Yan has fled to Northern Qi? Why didn't he flee to us?"
The generals were also confused and looked at each other in bewilderment.
"We are also puzzled, but I think that the King of Yan may be too confident. After all, the two great masters of Northern Qi and Dongyi City were unable to stop him."
"The King of Yan has always been arrogant. After this great victory, he is even more arrogant. He regards Northern Qi as nothing and wants to run rampant in its territory."
"The King of Yan may think that no one in Northern Qi can hurt him, but the elite troops of Northern Qi are all under the command of Shangshan Hu. If he attacks, the King of Yan may be in danger of his life!"
Although many generals were dissatisfied with Li Chengyun, they could not help but feel proud when they heard that he had displayed his prowess in Dongyi City and killed many generals and grand masters of Northern Qi.
Therefore, most of them did not want Li Chengyun to die at the hands of Northern Qi. After all, this was not a good sign for them.
Especially the grand master who served Li Chengyun, whose strength was unprecedented.
If they can help them guard the border, Northern Qi will have no power to resist, and their achievements will then become famous throughout the world.
Qin Ye understood the thoughts of the generals and felt depressed.
Others may regard Li Chengyun, the Prince of Yan, as a comrade, but for him, that is absolutely not possible!
Not only should we not regard the King of Yan as a comrade, we should regard him as an enemy.
Once Li Chengyun finds out the truth about the cause of his mother's death, he will never let him go, nor will he let the Qin family go!
Qin Ye knew this very well and there was no room for maneuver.
Therefore, Li Chengyun must die!
"The Prince of Yan fled to Northern Qi. This was a risky move! The army at the border of Northern Qi would not let him off easily, and the Northern Qi royal family would not let him off easily."
Qin Ye's face was calm, and he continued to speak slowly:
"What do you think we should do now? Should we rush into Northern Qi to rescue the King of Yan? Or should we just sit back and wait and see what happens?"
In terms of their original intention, the generals really wanted to rush into the territory of Northern Qi, rescue the King of Yan, and kill the Qi invaders.
However, they were all good at observing people's words and expressions and knew Qin Ye's character well.
Qin Ye's expression was indifferent, and it seemed that he had no intention of taking action.
If their boss holds this attitude, why should they insist on their own opinion?
Furthermore, they had no good feelings towards Li Chengyun and wanted to save him purely because of the hatred between Northern Qi and Southern Qing.
They could understand why Qin Ye was unwilling to save Li Chengyun. After all, Qin Ye's general had just been killed by Li Chengyun, and no one could accept saving an enemy.
Their sense of identification with Qin Ye is naturally stronger than that with Li Chengyun.
Since Qin Ye had no intention of rescuing Li Chengyun, why should they bother themselves with trouble?
At this time, another confidant of Qin Ye stepped forward and said:
"General, Northern Qi must be extremely dangerous, and we don't know the whereabouts of the King of Yan. If we go there rashly, we may be wiped out!"
"Besides, our duty is to guard the border. If we leave the border and allow Northern Qi to take advantage of the situation and invade, our crime will be as heavy as Mount Tai!"
"Therefore, in my humble opinion, we should not act rashly and there is no need to rescue King Yan."
Hearing this, Qin Ye nodded with satisfaction and said approvingly:
"What you said is not without reason! However, the Prince of Yan is your Majesty's biological son after all. How can the prince of Qing sit back and watch him in danger without saving him?!"
"But this matter is so dangerous that I cannot make the decision on my own!" "Why don't you report this to your Majesty and ask your Majesty to make a decision on this matter!"
Speaking of reporting to Your Majesty, it is actually a delaying tactic.
It would take time to send soldiers to ask Emperor Qing for instructions.
Qin Ye's mind raced, hoping that Northern Qi would act decisively and wipe out Li Chengyun in one fell swoop!
If Li Chengyun were still here, he would be uneasy!
……
In Kyoto.
Inside the palace.
Emperor Qing read the information passed on by Qin Ye with an amused look on his face.
He had heard before that Li Chengyun had killed two great masters and then rushed into the territory of Northern Qi. At that time, he was extremely shocked and upset.
Even though he was extremely powerful, it would be impossible for him to kill two grand masters directly.
And the grandmaster beside Li Chengyun was able to accomplish such a feat.
Emperor Qing also remembered his name, Jian Jiuhuang, and Li Chengyun called him Lao Huang.
At this moment, Emperor Qing was very wary of Li Chengyun and Lao Huang.
Li Chengyun is too arrogant, and Lao Huang is too powerful.
If these two people return to Kyoto, he will probably not be able to sleep or eat well.
Especially if Li Chengyun knew what happened twenty years ago, he would be even more worried.
He also didn't know what kind of storm Li Chengyun would stir up by then.
Therefore, during this period of time, he had been thinking hard about how to deal with Li Chengyun and Lao Huang.
To be fair, Li Chengyun was indeed an excellent successor to the throne.
With top grandmasters protecting him, he will surely be able to sit firmly on the throne.
However, this is not a good thing for Emperor Qing.
The successor he was looking forward to didn't need to be so strong.
What he needed was an heir who was both capable and completely under his control, such as the former crown prince Li Chengqian.
In front of him, they are like mice seeing a cat, trembling with fear. For him, this kind of heir is the most suitable choice.
Obviously, Li Chengyun is not such a desirable choice.
He originally wanted to use this border trip to weaken Li Chengyun's power so that he could be more easily controlled in the future and then decide whether to train him as his successor.
The strength demonstrated by Li Chengyun now has far exceeded Emperor Qing's imagination.
This person is really difficult to control.
Emperor Qing knew very well that this boy had no respect for him.
From childhood till now, Emperor Qing has never seen Li Chengyun's awe of power or his father.
Li Chengyun is an unscrupulous person.
Emperor Qing doesn't like such people, nor does he need them.
So when he received the news from Qin Ye, he felt quite amused.
Because he knew that Qin Ye came here to inquire, but actually wanted to put Li Chengyun to death.
Qin Ye wanted his son to die.
However, Emperor Qing was not angry.
Because deep in his heart, he also had such thoughts.
If Li Chengyun died, everything would be solved.
