Chapter 16 Grandmaster's Strength, the Prince's Visit

The moment Ye Qi took out the camera.

Emperor Qing's expression suddenly changed. He came to Ye Qi at an extremely fast speed and grabbed Ye Qi's arm.

This exaggerated speed shocked both Ye Qi and Fan Xian.

This was the first time Ye Qi saw a grandmaster take action, and his speed was so terrifying and astonishing.

Fan Xian was completely stunned. What happened just now? Was he dazzled?

Emperor Qing was sitting there one second and appeared in front of them the next.

Ye Qi had already put his other hand into his pocket, ready to crush the random teleportation scroll at any time.

The reason why Emperor Qing changed so much was because he remembered the past.

Once, two gunshots were heard in the palace, and his two uncles were beaten into meat paste.

That was because Ye Qingmei used Barrett.

But Emperor Qing still doesn't know what that weapon is.

So when Ye Qi took out the camera, his fear DNA activated.

"What is this?" Emperor Qing asked.

Ye Qi said: "It's a camera, a tool for painting."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing loosened his right hand, but always kept himself away from the camera lens.

"How do you paint?"

"I can demonstrate it for your majesty."

Ye Qi picked up the camera, pointed it at the potted plant next to him and pressed the shutter.

After a while, a photo printed out from the bottom of the camera.

The potted plants in the photo were so lifelike that Emperor Qing was shocked.

Only at this moment did Emperor Qing feel relieved.

Emperor Qing waved his sleeves and said, "I appreciate your intention to paint for me, but I don't need it. I'm tired and need to rest."

Emperor Qing was unwilling, and Ye Qi had no choice.

So he and Fan Xian left the palace.

Along the way, Fan Xian was shocked by Emperor Qing's skills.

"Master Ye, did you just see it?"

"I see, he is very agile. With Emperor Qing's skills, even ten of me are no match for him."

"This is the first time I've seen Emperor Qing take action. Is Emperor Qing hiding his strength?"

"I think your Emperor Qing's skills are already that of a grandmaster."

Fan Xian's heart was filled with shock and confusion. In the eyes of the world, there were only three great masters: Ye Liuyun, Si Gu Jian, and Ku He.

If Emperor Qing really has the strength of a grandmaster, then things will become much more subtle.

"Anyway, I have already helped you with this matter. You can't blame me if it doesn't work out in the end," Fan Xian said.

"It can only be said that Emperor Qing is too cautious. Since he doesn't want to do it, then forget it." Ye Qi said.

Fan Xian thought for a moment and said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask you for help with."

"If there is anything troubling Master Fan, I will try my best to help you in any way I can."

Fan Xian's face was heavy. "I learned from Yan Bingyun earlier that the Second Prince Li Chengze and the First Princess Li Yunrui have been smuggling with the Northern Qi Jinyiwei for many years. Does Commander Ye know about this?"

"know."

"You, Northern Qi, allow this to happen?"

"It is not allowed openly, but it is allowed in private. This matter is more beneficial than harmful to our Northern Qi, so we acquiesce. Master Xiao Fan, do you want to stop this matter?"

Fan Xian shook his head: "I'm afraid I don't have the ability to stop it. After I came back, I reported this matter to His Majesty, but in the end, His Majesty didn't care at all. But there is one thing I can't let go of. Shijia Town was burned and all the villagers died tragically. I suspect it was done by the Second Prince, but now there is no clue. I wonder if Lord Ye knows anything?"

Ye Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, Shijia Town is the territory of your Qing Kingdom. We, the Jinyiwei, can't reach out to your Qing Kingdom. As the chief of the Inspection Institute, you can't find out, so I have no other way."

Ye Qi certainly knew the inside story of Shijia Town, but there was no need to explain it to Fan Xian at this time.

Shijia Town is one of the few important transportation stations for the eldest princess and the second prince to communicate with Northern Qi.

Of course the second prince was reluctant to burn it.

To outsiders, the burning of Shijia Town was caused by the Second Prince covering up the evidence, but in fact, it was all done by the Crown Prince.

Let everyone think that the second prince is eliminating evidence and confessing himself.

But the truth was, the crown prince arrived too late, and the second prince's men had already fled. He was unwilling to accept this, so he burned down Shijia Town and put the blame on the second prince.

The prince's plan was to discredit the second prince and make him fall deeply in his father's favor.

Subsequently, people trusted by the Second Prince and important properties began to disappear.

He had no choice but to fight back. A desperate dog would definitely transfer important assets and accounts.

At this time, the prince and Fan Xian joined forces again and captured him in one fell swoop.

This is the prince's intention.

Fan Xian is just a tool he uses. Once the second prince is eliminated, Fan Xian will be the second person the prince will deal with.

Let Fan Xian investigate this matter slowly.

Ye Qi still had one thing to do, which was to obtain military intelligence from the north of Qing State.

Prepare for the future war.

I met Emperor Qing for the first time today, and the Grand Master’s strength is indeed terrifying.

After saying goodbye to Fan Xian, Ye Qi returned to his residence.

Ye Qi is now very eager to be promoted to Grand Master.

Since I couldn’t take a photo with Emperor Qing, I’ll think of a way later.

Qing Kingdom now has a grandmaster named Ye Liuyun, and you can go take a photo with Ye Liuyun.

By the way, ask Ye Liuyun for advice on how to become a Grand Master.

But Ye Qi is from Northern Qi, and Ye Liuyun definitely doesn't want to pay attention to Ye Qi.

It is extremely difficult to take photos or ask for advice.

In fact, Ye Qi could also choose to comprehend it alone, but it would take several years.

Or wait for the opportunity to sign in and reach the top in one step.

But Ye Qi didn't want to wait and wanted to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Go to Jiangnan?
Let’s talk about it after the eldest princess Zhan Yueyue gets married.

Now I should cultivate my character in Qing Kingdom first. It would be best if I could destroy Qing Kingdom from within.

You can try to join forces with the second prince to overthrow the crown prince and plunge Qing into turmoil.

Ye Qi was very willing to see this situation.

Once Qing Kingdom falls into civil strife, Ye Qi will receive another sign-in gift package.

the next day.

Just when Ye Qi was formulating a plan to bring down the prince.

The prince actually brought people to visit.

"Welcome to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Ye Qi clasped his fists.

"No need to be polite, Commander Ye, have you been living well these past two days?"

"pretty good."

"I came here today to visit Commander Ye. I feel relieved if Commander Ye lives comfortably. In the future, our two countries will cooperate more and share a prosperous era."

"That's for sure."

At this time, the prince suddenly came up to Ye Qi and whispered, "If Commander Ye is willing to hand over the evidence of the Second Prince's affair with Bei Qi to me, I promise to thank you generously."

"Once I find out the truth, I will hand it over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Okay, that's all right. Commander Ye, take care. I'll take my leave now."

The prince smiled, waved his hand and left.

Looking at the leaving prince, Ye Qi smiled.

He wanted to win him over and also wanted to find evidence to bring down the Second Prince, but unfortunately these two things were of no benefit to Ye Qi.

What Ye Qi has to do now is to bring down the crown prince. The fall of the crown prince will cause far more civil unrest in Qing State than the fall of the second prince.
