Chapter 19 Traveling around Jiangnan, Half-step Grandmaster

The matter of the cavalry outside Kyoto was causing a lot of controversy.

Ye Qi took out a map and looked for the route to Jiangnan.

Since Emperor Qing is not willing to take a photo with him, he will go find Ye Liuyun and ask him about martial arts.

How to convince Ye Liuyun is not an easy task.

Ye Qi suddenly remembered that in the plot, Fan Xian went to the south of the Yangtze River and was hunted down by Ye Liuyun.

In fact, Ye Liuyun was also entrusted by the eldest princess and the second prince, which means that the eldest princess and the second prince could persuade Ye Liuyun.

In that case, Ye Qi decided to go and have a chat with the Second Prince.

The second prince was also very excited when he learned that Ye Qi was coming.

In the past few days, he had been inviting Ye Qi to dinner at the restaurant, but was rejected every time. Today, he actually came to visit.

"Commander Ye, why did you suddenly come to visit me today?" asked the Second Prince.

Ye Qi looked around. The Second Prince understood what Ye Qi meant and asked all the servants to leave.

Ye Qi glanced at Xie Bian again, and the second prince said, "It's okay, Xie Bian is my man, I absolutely trust him."

Ye Qi said: "He can't listen to what I want to say to His Highness."

The Second Prince was a little conflicted at this time. He was curious about what Ye Qi was going to say, and he was also afraid that no one would protect him after Xie Bian left.

"Your Highness, if you don't let him leave, then I will leave, and your only chance to defeat the prince will be gone."

After saying this, the Second Prince immediately asked Xie Bian to leave.

Xie Bian wanted to say something but was driven away by the second prince.

"Come, Commander Ye, please take a seat. These are my tribute grapes from Daqing. Please help yourself to them."

Ye Qi released his true energy and said without sensing anyone else, "Your Highness, I want to make a deal with you. This deal will benefit you in every way."

"Please tell me."

"I have the evidence to bring down the prince. This evidence can put him in an irretrievable situation."

"Can I have a look?"

"It will be kept secret for now."

"So what do you want to exchange with me?"

"I want to go to Jiangnan. Please help me contact Grandmaster Ye Liuyun. I want to meet him."

"Commander Ye, could it be that you want to persuade the Grand Master of Qing to serve Northern Qi?"

"Your Highness is worrying too much. Even if Ye Liuyun surrenders to Northern Qi, what does it have to do with Your Highness?"

"What does it have to do with me? Yes, I am not the crown prince. What does the future of Daqing have to do with me?"

The second prince clearly realized that he was just a stepping stone for the crown prince's growth, and was arranged by Emperor Qing to train the crown prince.

He himself is a dispensable chess piece and when the time is right, he can be abandoned at any time.

But he was unwilling to accept this. He did not want to fail like this. He also wanted to become a prince and the future emperor of Qing.

If he fails in his fight with the prince, he will lose his life.

"So, Your Highness, you just need to help me contact Ye Liuyun, and I will help you overthrow the Crown Prince. This deal is very profitable for you no matter how you look at it."

"But you didn't even let me see the evidence. It's hard to trust me with empty promises."

"The Crown Prince has an illicit love affair in the palace. Once this matter is made public, His Royal Highness will surely become infamous and will be expelled from Kyoto."

"Is this serious?"

"really."

The Second Prince was shaking with excitement when he heard this, and paced back and forth in front of Ye Qi.

He was both nervous and excited. If what Ye Qi said was true, given Emperor Qing's character, he would definitely deprive the crown prince of his position.

At that time, the only one who could become the crown prince would be the second prince.

"Commander Ye, I believe in you. I will send someone to contact the princess and Grandmaster Ye Liuyun. As long as you help me overthrow the crown prince, I, Li Chengze, will be grateful to you forever." "Okay, Your Highness. Let me know when you have made the contact."

"must."

Ye Qi and the second prince reached a verbal commitment.

The second prince was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

For Ye Qi, this matter would allow him to meet Ye Liuyun, and secondly, to overthrow the crown prince, which would cause civil unrest in Qing State. Why not do it?

The next day, the second prince sent Xie Bian to deliver a message, asking Ye Qi to go to Baoyue Tower in Suzhou, Jiangnan, and Ye Liuyun would come to find him at that time.

Ye Qi did not delay any longer and took a boat along the waterway to Jiangnan.

This time when Ye Qi went to Jiangnan, he was alone, and Wang Jian was left behind to protect the eldest princess's safety.

Ye Qi was not in a hurry to travel, but walked and stopped along the waterway, admiring the beautiful scenery of the rivers and mountains along the way.

Ye Qi felt relaxed and happy every time he saw this beautiful scenery. The so-called misty and rainy Jiangnan was truly intoxicating.

Ye Qi also took out his fishing rod and went fishing, catching a lot of interesting things.

Who would have thought that one could fish out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, or even a few boxes of lung-nourishing cigars, from the river.

Ye Qi picked up the lung-nourishing cigar and smoked one, feeling a cloud of smoke and a trance-like feeling.

At this moment, he felt his realm loosen.

One of the meridians was opened, and the true energy instantly surged.

That’s right, the relaxed and happy feeling along the way, coupled with this lung-soothing cigar, allowed Ye Qi’s martial arts skills to reach the level of a half-step grandmaster.

Now as long as another meridian is opened, Ye Qi will be able to be promoted to Grand Master.

People say that before becoming a Grand Master, one is a human being, and after being promoted to Grand Master, one becomes a god.

Before becoming a grandmaster, one is a martial artist, and after becoming a grandmaster, one becomes a cultivator.

Ye Qi was now extremely happy. He roared at the river water, and the water exploded instantly, with a large number of fish being blown upside down.

The closer you are to the Grand Master, the more you can comprehend the pleasure of releasing your true Qi.

Ye Qi came to Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, smoking a cigar all the way.

The beautiful scenery of Suzhou reminded Ye Qi of the poems of Liu Sanbian.

Southeast China is a beautiful place, the capital of the Three Wus, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. There are painted bridges with willows and draperies, and hundreds of thousands of houses.

This poem is the most appropriate to describe the scenery of Suzhou.

Ye Qi used his true energy to propel the boat, and when the boat was about to dock, Ye Qi jumped high and flew towards the shore.

The people on the shore looked at Ye Qi in surprise and exclaimed in admiration.

Ye Qi's boat also sank into the water due to a leak.

As for the Red Hare, he had already put it in the mount breeding pen and could summon it at any time.

Standing at the port of Suzhou, Ye Qi couldn't help but sigh: "Beautiful Jiangnan, here I come!"

The moist and fresh air refreshes one's spirits.

The people around looked at Ye Qi with strange eyes.

"Excuse me, where is Baoyue Tower?" Ye Qi asked the people passing by.

The people shook their heads, indicating that they didn't want to talk to this strange guy.

Just as Ye Qi continued to ask the next person, a familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Qi.

"Xie Bian!? Why are you here?" Ye Qi asked in surprise.

"Your Highness rode at full speed to Suzhou, tiring five horses to death along the way, but ended up waiting for you here for five days before you arrived." Xie Bian's expression was obviously a little displeased.

"You didn't tell me you were coming to Suzhou."

Ye Qi was speechless. The second prince's style of doing things was indeed unusual.
