Chapter 112 Why do you care so much about orphans and widows? (Two in one)

"It's not a festive occasion, Your Majesty, there's no need to perform such a grand ceremony!"

How could the young emperor of Northern Qi be so bold?

To be honest, Fan Bin didn't expect it.

After all, the other party is the emperor of a country, and his backers are less than ten feet away from them.

This also means that Fan Bin actually has no way to control the little emperor.

Although Ku He had many concerns, Fan Bin himself was not so relaxed either.

He also has a family behind him that needs protection.

However, even in this situation, the young emperor of Northern Qi was still willing to give up everything and completely disregard his dignity as an emperor to kneel down and salute Fan Bin.

Just imagine, if it wasn’t Fan Bin, but someone else, what would he think?
He is subject to various restrictions in Daqing.

But in Northern Qi, even the emperor of Northern Qi could kneel before him.

Even if you were from Daqing, would you have any different ideas?

At this time, the young emperor of Northern Qi promised some more benefits...

Who wouldn’t be confused?
Who can guarantee that they won’t be tempted?
As for the Fan family, there is even less to worry about.

Don’t say that no one knows about this, you can just do it slowly.

Even if people find out, what can they do?
Family and things that matter to you are the only way to restrain a Grand Master. The four most famous Grand Masters all have things that they care about and want to protect.

That’s how they were able to achieve balance.

The same goes for Fan Bin.

Because he has a family behind him, Fan Bin’s behavior is generally controllable.

Whether it is now or in the future.

No force or grandmaster would easily take action against the Fan family.

Because they all know what it means to be a grandmaster who has no worries at all?
That means the world is in chaos...

Even, destruction.

Because he knew all of this clearly, when Fan Bin saw the little emperor kneeling down to him, he immediately used his true Qi to stop Zhan Doudou.

Zhan Doudou tried several times, but found that she couldn't kneel down even a little bit.

"Master Fan!"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be so polite. I have no other intentions."

After saying this, Fan Bin deliberately glanced in the direction of Ku He.

The outcome of that battle was different from what everyone imagined.

Ku He indeed did not gain any advantage from Fan Bin.

Especially after Fan Bin started to display his ghostly lightness skills, Ku He had no way to deal with him at all.

Ku He was desperate at that time.

When Fan Bin used his Qinggong skills, he couldn't even touch the corner of Fan Bin's clothes.

This meant that even if he, the Imperial Master of Northern Qi, tried his best, he would not be able to stop Fan Bin.

Whatever Fan Bin wants to do, all he has to do is get rid of him.

Although after Ku He, he can also take revenge on Fan Bin or Qing State.

But in the end, he had no way to stop Fan Bin.

This was something that made Ku He despair.

It was precisely because of this that Ku He had to make concessions.

First, he gave up chasing Sean.

Although Ku He wanted to keep the secret of the goddess and the temple.

But since the situation was impossible, he could only give up.

Secondly, Fan Bin was going to enter Northern Qi.

This almost hit Ku He's sore spot.

As the national teacher of Northern Qi, he had two Achilles' heels: one was his disciples, and the other was Northern Qi.

You know, the current young emperor of Northern Qi was able to succeed to the throne smoothly thanks to Ku He's efforts.

When the young emperor's father died, civil strife broke out in Northern Qi.

A prince led tens of thousands of elite troops and directly attacked the Northern Qi palace.

The current young emperor and empress dowager are about to die.

It was Ku He who came forward and said to the rebels, "Whoever makes trouble will be killed!"

Ku He faced tens of thousands of elite soldiers alone and managed to kill them all.

They were killed so hard that they dared not even take a step beyond the line.

Eventually, he defeated the rebels and forced them to surrender.

The little emperor can ascend the throne smoothly.

This was also the first battle in which the Grand Master established his authority. It was also from that time that the saying that the Grand Master was above the dynasty began to emerge.

Given this connection, Ku He was certainly unwilling to let Fan Bin enter Northern Qi.

But he couldn't stop it.

Ku He could only threaten.

The two sides argued for a long time, and finally Fan Bin made concessions.

He promised not to take the initiative to cause trouble in Northern Qi.

Ku Hecai reluctantly agreed to let Fan Bin enter Northern Qi.

Although the two had already made an agreement, Ku He still showed up here. It was obvious that Ku He took the battle against the little emperor Dou Dou very seriously.

This made Fan Bin couldn't help but wonder if there was something else going on here?

Otherwise, why would Ku He care so much about an orphan and a widow?

The same is true of what I just said.

Fan Bin was not only saying this to Zhan Doudou, but also to Ku He.

He just wanted to fulfill his promise, nothing else.

"I was only asked to bring him to meet His Majesty the Northern Qi."

After saying that, Fan Bin pulled Sean out.

"Mr. Xiao!"

Although it was the first time they met, the little emperor still recognized Sean's identity.

"Sean pays respect to His Majesty!"

Sean bowed respectfully to the little emperor.

Zhan Doudou quickly stepped forward and helped Sean up.

"You betrayed the secret!"

Just as Zhan Doudou helped Sean up, a low and majestic voice suddenly sounded.

"National Division?"

The little emperor was a little confused.

It seemed like she didn't understand, what the secret was?
Sean looked indifferent.

"You wanted to kill me, but someone saved me. Since I owe you a life-saving favor, there must be a price to pay."

He seemed to be completely unconcerned about Ku He's anger.

Even from Sean's perspective, the reason why he told the secret was because he was forced by Ku He.

In fact, Ku He no longer had any reason to kill Sean at this time.

If Sean was the only one who knew the secret, then Ku He would have a reason to do it. After all, if Sean was killed, he would be the only one who knew the secret of the temple.

But Sean has now told Fan Bin the secret.

Ku He herself could not do anything to Fan Bin.

He continued to hunt Sean, seemingly just to vent his anger.

With Ku He's level of cultivation, he would never do that.

In other words, Sean is safe at this time.

"You two can talk. I'll be outside the door. If anything happens, I'll help."

Fan Bin ignored their conversation and spoke to Zhan Doudou and Sean.

He said this not only to the two of them, but also as a warning to Ku He.

I hope that the Imperial Master of Northern Qi can abide by their previous agreement.

Of course, if Sean wanted to fight Doudou, not to mention that Ku He would not agree, Fan Bin would not allow it either.

With Fan Bin's departure, only Zhan Doudou and Sean were left in the room.

The two of them rolled their eyes at the same time.

On the surface, this seemed to be a private conversation between the two of them.

Ordinary people would never hear it.

But in fact, Ku He was in the next room, and Fan Bin was only separated from them by a wall.

Even those ninth-rank masters could hear the breathing of people outside the wall at this distance.

Not to mention the sound of conversation.

Ku He is one of the four great masters and has long been famous throughout the world.

Fan Bin is the fifth grandmaster.

At this distance, don't talk about what they talked about.

I guess even if there were any slight movements on their faces, they wouldn't be able to hide it from those two.

On the surface, this was a private conversation between the two.

In reality, it was a meeting between the two of them under the supervision of two grand masters.

The fact that they didn't show up in the room was just a symbolic respect for them.

that is it.

"Mr. Xiao, as long as we enter the capital, we will naturally have the opportunity to meet. Why are you doing this?"

Although Zhan Doudou appears to be an incompetent puppet emperor, she is actually an extremely smart person.

She had roughly guessed the cause and effect of the matter.

Sean exchanged a secret that she didn't know for a promise from the newly promoted grandmaster Fan Bin.

Then Sean used that promise to get Fan Bin to protect him and meet him.

After thinking it through, Zhan Doudou really wanted to kick the old guy in front of him to death.

God knows, she was so scared before!
When an ordinary person faces a grandmaster, it is like an ant facing a ferocious beast.

The two sides are simply not comparable.

Even though Zhan Doudou was the emperor of a country, he could not avoid this.

A ninth-rank master wanted to assassinate her.

Relying on the guards in the palace, they can still resist one or two, and they can even plan a counterattack.

But if a grandmaster wanted to assassinate her, even if he decided to do it today, she wouldn't even see tomorrow's sunrise.

And the little emperor has already talked to Ku He.

Even their national master couldn't stop Fan Bin. At most, as a fellow grandmaster, he could only restrain him a little.

How scary would it be for a person like this to meet me alone?
No matter how mature and smart Zhan Doudou is, she is just a 19-year-old girl.

She was almost scared to death!

It’s all because of this old man in front of me…

"Your Majesty, I know your secret."

As soon as Sean opened his mouth, Zhan Doudou felt the urge to kill.

She originally had some regard for Sean, the old minister. Especially now, the whole Da Qi was in turmoil, and it was the time to use people.

It’s not impossible for Zhan Doudou to give Sean a chance.

But now, Sean not only opened his mouth, but also revealed his biggest secret.

And this happened in front of an outsider like Fan Bin.

Then he deserves to die!
Although he thought so in his heart, there was no sign of it on Zhan Doudou's face.

The look she gave Sean was still filled with some heartache.

"Your Majesty, you are much better than your father!"

Although Zhan Doudou hid very well, how could she possibly deceive a veteran like Sean?
Sean is able to see through Zhan Doudou's disguise.

He also knew that Zhan Doudou already had the intention to kill someone at this time.

Yet Sean had to say this.

Xiao En knew very well that no matter how he was before Northern Qi, his subordinates were now old or dead.

More than a decade has passed and everything has changed.

His Sean era has long passed.

This means that he was equivalent to a newcomer in the Northern Qi court.

Even if the little emperor Zhan Doudou used him, he would not completely trust him.

The little emperor must have his own confidants.

Why should people trust him instead of their trusted confidants who have already surrendered to them?
In this situation, the first thing Sean has to do is to break down the barriers between them.

They have to have a secret in common.

No matter what the little emperor’s mood was when he fought Doudou?
As long as they have a secret in common, the relationship between them is different.

"Now the world has a fifth Grandmaster. I heard that there was also one in the Qing Kingdom's palace. Some say he is a new Grandmaster, while others say he is Si Gu Jian himself. If he is really a new Grandmaster, then it means there are a total of 6 Grandmasters in the world. Of course, it is possible that he is not. But no matter what, with the emergence of new Grandmasters, the original balance has long ceased to exist."

"Although I am imprisoned, I have never forgotten my worries for the country. The world is in turmoil and chaos is about to break out. I am willing to return to Northern Qi and serve as your majesty's spear and sword to share your worries."

Sean said earnestly.

"I understand Mr. Xiao's patriotism. But I wonder if you have any good ideas?"

Although the little emperor is fighting Doudou, she doesn't have to worry about her life for the time being.

Fan Bin had no intention of killing her.

But as Sean said, there was originally a gap in national strength between the two countries.

In a border battle, Northern Qi lost one and a half states.

This is almost one-seventh to one-sixth of their territory.

Although what was lost were all barren areas on the border.

It did not have much impact on the core areas of Northern Qi.

But just one battle can achieve such results.

If Daqing wanted to, they would destroy Northern Qi in a matter of minutes.

At most it will just take up some more time.

The greatest support of Northern Qi nowadays is probably the Grand Master Ku He.

But now, the third grandmaster has emerged in Daqing.

Even if Northern Qi and Dongyi City joined forces, they could no longer compete with Daqing.

The civil and military officials in the capital of Northern Qi all claimed to be loyal to Northern Qi.

But the little emperor could see that they were probably secretly planning to defect to Daqing.

Once Daqing arrives, we don’t know how many guides there will be?

"Your Majesty is nineteen this year and will be twenty soon. You still have no offspring, so you should have a child first."

Sean said, glancing in the direction of Fan Bin.

Zhan Doudou's pupils trembled.

Yeah, she should have a child first.

If this child has the blood of the Fan family, then the one who will protect Northern Qi in the future will not be one grandmaster, but two.

Although Daqing also has two grand masters.

But the most mysterious grandmaster is said to have been living in seclusion in the Daqing Imperial Palace and has never appeared in public.

This also means that the only person the other side can actually mobilize is Ye Liuyun, who is not very obedient.

The little emperor Zhan Doudou's heartbeat quickened.

She is not a person who is sentimental, so in this exchange, what she sees is not emotion, but benefit.

The question is whether Fan Bin can agree to it.

If Fan Bin is not capable, it is said that the young Lord Fan is also proficient in both civil and military affairs.

Zhan Doudou liked the Dream of the Red Chamber he wrote very much.

"Your Majesty, although Daqing has three grandmasters, they are not in harmony with each other. Now that Daqing wants to destroy the world, they may still be able to unite. But after conquering the world, how will the other two grandmasters deal with it? So we just need to tell the other two grandmasters about the interests involved, and I believe they will weigh the pros and cons themselves."

"Besides that, I have another solution that will solve the problem once and for all."
