Chapter 85 Death is approaching? Li Chengyun faces the crisis with a smile, Shangshanhu lays a net, who will be the final hunter

"Pass on my order, and appoint Qin Ye as the General of the Northern Expedition. First, conquer the Dongyi people and capture Dongyi City. Then, use Dongyi City as a springboard to attack the heartland of Northern Qi."

"At the same time, the eldest prince was appointed as the deputy general of the northern expedition, and he led his warriors to march north from the border he guarded, directly to Northern Qi."

"This battle must destroy the Dongyi and severely damage the vitality of Northern Qi."

"If there is a chance, we will destroy Northern Qi in one fell swoop, annex its territory, and achieve the immortal cause of Qing Kingdom!"

Upon hearing Emperor Qing's words, all the court officials, except Chen Pingping, knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Conquer Northern Qi and achieve great things!"

After the grand court meeting ended, the court officials discussed the matters discussed at the meeting with great interest.

Emperor Qing returned to his own palace.

After a little thought, he took out paper and pen, and began to write a secret letter.

This letter was written by Ye Liuyun who was far away in Dingzhou.

This is a secret order.

The letter ordered Ye Liuyun to sneak into Northern Qi, wait for an opportunity, and kill Li Chengyun and Jian Jiuhuang.

This time, Emperor Qing directly used the secret passage for communication between the two of them to ensure that the news was only known to the two of them and would never be leaked.

After the letter was completed, Emperor Qing leaned on the bed with a dazed look on his face, as if he was in deep thought or reminiscing. No one could know what he was thinking.

……

And the land of Dingzhou.

On top of a mountain.

Ye Liuyun, dressed in fluttering white, stood among them, his eyes gazing into the distance across thousands of mountains and rivers.

At this moment, a black-clad spy appeared beside him silently, presenting a tightly sealed letter with both hands.

Ye Liuyun took the secret letter and waved his hand gently, signaling the spy to leave.

He stared at the secret letter with a complicated expression.

With a light sigh, Ye Liuyun finally opened the secret letter.

He quickly glanced at the contents of the letter, his pupils shrank slightly for an instant, and then he returned to his usual calm.

He held the letter and the envelope tightly, and with a light exertion of his internal energy, the letter and the envelope turned into powder and flew away with the wind.

His gaze once again turned into the distance, deep and distant.

At this moment, his eyes were full of helplessness and heaviness.

"Emperor Qing, oh Emperor Qing, your heart is harder than iron and stone." He secretly sighed in his heart, "You are willing to kill even your own flesh and blood."

However, isn’t this the Emperor Qing that he has always known?

Cold-blooded and ruthless, with deep political scheming.

As one of the four great masters in the world, Ye Liuyun is gifted and extraordinary.

All other grand masters were able to reach the pinnacle of their careers only because they obtained Ye Qingmei's secret book.

And he, just through a fierce battle with Wuzhu, was able to realize the Way of Heaven and was promoted to the level of Grandmaster.

A great master should be respected by people all over the world and have a high status.

Just like Ku He, he became the national teacher of Northern Qi and controlled the destiny of the country with his own strength.

It is also like Si Gu Jian, guarding the city of Dongyi and creating the glory of the world's number one city.

However, Ye Liuyun's situation was quite miserable.

He, as the grandmaster of Qing State, was like a pearl thrown into the dark, and Qing State did not really need him.

Since Qing Kingdom already has a great master in charge, there is no need for him to add more power to intimidate other countries.

From then on, he could only become a pawn in the hands of Qing Kingdom.

To be more precise, he is a chess piece in the palm of Emperor Qing.

Who in this world is willing to be a chess player?
Ye Liuyun was the same. However, fate played tricks on him and he had no choice.

The Ye family needs him, just like Si Gu Jian to Dongyi City and Ku He to the Northern Qi royal family.

He is also the patron saint of the Ye family.

As long as the Ye family is still in the Kingdom of Qing, he can only be held tightly in the palm of the hand of Emperor Qing and become a chess piece that cannot escape.

……

Within the territory of Northern Qi.

The journey to Beijing is long.

Li Chengyun waved his palm lightly, and the last person in the scout team fell down and died.

When Haitang Duoduo saw this scene, her brows slightly frowned, and a look of displeasure appeared on her face.

She tilted her head slightly, her eyes moving, looking towards where Li Chengyun was.

At this time, Li Chengyun had leisurely returned to the carriage, while Lao Huang was galloping freely in the distance, with a graceful posture, showing his unrestrained nature.

Haitang Duoduo felt a little worried, and she opened her red lips slightly and said:
"You have been robbed and murdered more and more frequently recently. I think the Northern Qi army is imminent and will soon track you down!"

"Don't you have anything to say?"

"Oh?" Li Chengyun heard this and leaned against the carriage, a smile on his face, "What should I say?"

Seeing how relaxed he was, Haitang Duoduo felt even more annoyed.

It is really puzzling that he can remain so calm at this moment of life and death.

She wrinkled her nose slightly, and spoke anxiously:

"You know, those ferocious pursuers from Northern Qi are probably driving you into an encirclement step by step. When they close the encirclement, you will be in imminent danger!"

Li Chengyun's eyes flickered as he stared at her with interest:
"That's wrong. How can it be 'you'? Shouldn't it be 'we'?"

Haitang Duoduo heard the words and instantly understood the hidden meaning. Her cheeks turned slightly red and she said softly:
"It was never us, it was clearly you. I was abducted by you. I had no choice but to do so!"

Li Chengyun curled his lips slightly and said jokingly:
"Yes, yes, Saint Haitang was forced to do this! It was all my fault. I shouldn't have dragged the Saint into this trip. I apologize to the Saint here."

After saying this, he casually bowed his hands, seeming quite perfunctory.

Haitang Duoduo knew that there was a lot of teasing in his words, but she still raised her head and said proudly:
"It's good to know. Since you know that you have offended me and want to apologize, why don't you show some sincerity?"

However, Li Chengyun turned a deaf ear and ignored it.

Haitang Duoduo's expression instantly fell, with a hint of helplessness and worry:
"Honestly, don't you feel any fear at all? Even if that great master is by your side, how long can he protect you?"

"They are probably very close, and that will be the end of your life."

Li Chengyun shook his head slightly when he heard this, without any worries in his heart.

It can be said that he was looking forward to that moment.

Looking up at the distant sky, Li Chengyun whispered:
"It is indeed time!"

……

the other side.

Uesugi Tora was unrestrained and uninhibited, sitting casually on the ground.

"Is the barbecue cooked? Where's my share?" His voice was like thunder, shaking the surroundings.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers nearby immediately responded loudly:
"General, your barbecue is ready."

After saying this, not long afterwards.

Then a man was seen holding a large piece of roasted greasy meat and placing it respectfully in front of Uesugi Tiger.

Uesugi Tiger didn't think twice and grabbed it with his hands, tearing it into pieces. The aroma of meat filled the air, and then he asked casually:

"How about the arrangements for the rest of us?"

The deputy general sitting beside him swallowed the meat in his mouth hastily and said:
"General, our army has completed the encirclement, and we are just waiting for Li Chengyun to fall into the trap, like a sheep into a tiger's mouth."
