Chapter 153 Contemporary Sword Master
As soon as Li Chengze walked out of the hall, a person suddenly appeared from the shadows beside him.

The man was dressed in black, covering his entire figure and appearance. When he walked in front of Li Chengze, he bowed and said in a low voice:

"Your Highness."

Li Chengze knew who the visitor was. It was the Luowang personnel he had ordered to lurk in the palace.

"How's it going? Any news?"

The visitor nodded and said, "Emperor Qing has issued an order that Fan Xian will be beheaded in public at noon tomorrow."

"I guess by tomorrow morning, the notices will be posted all over Kyoto."

Li Chengze nodded thoughtfully, as if he had known that Emperor Qing would do this.

I guess he did this for others to see, that's why he couldn't bear to kill Fan Xian.

From this, it can be seen that Emperor Qing has no choice but to take this path.

Thinking of this, Li Chengze asked, "Are there any changes in other places in the palace?"

The visitor shook his head and said, "Not yet."

Li Chengze nodded and said, "Okay, go back and continue to lurk."

"Don't come to me if you don't have any particularly important news."

"Yes, I understand." The man nodded in agreement, turned around and walked into the shadows.

Then, Li Chengze unbuckled his belt and started peeing in front of the tree next to him.

There was no one in the East Palace now, and it was night time, so there was no need to worry about being seen by others.

However, just as Li Chengze was peeing, a figure gently fell on the courtyard wall not far away.

After leaving the death row, Hong Siyang continued to run to the Eastern Palace and continued to monitor the three princes.

As soon as he landed on the courtyard wall, he saw the second prince Li Chengze peeing in the yard.

Soon after Li Chengze finished peeing, he walked directly into the main hall. During this period, there was nothing wrong.

When Hong Siyang saw this, he was thoughtful.

He remembered again what Emperor Qing had just said.

Originally, Hong Siyang thought that Emperor Qing was just overly cautious and wanted to have absolute control over everything.

However, he now felt that it was not excessive caution, but distrust.

Because Emperor Qing never trusted his own children from the very beginning.

The reason why Li Chengqian was made the crown prince in the past was not because of love for him, but to balance the power in the court.

It seemed that he was given the position of crown prince, but he took the initiative to delegate power to the second prince and restrain his rights. The purpose was to let the two fight and thus temper their character.

As for the Crown Prince and the Queen, they were dispensable to Emperor Qing.

Otherwise, when the Queen's family was massacred, Emperor Qing would not have turned a blind eye and allowed the murderers to go unpunished.

Perhaps, Emperor Qing did not expect that things would turn out like this.

What surprised Hong Siyang the most was the murder of the prince.

He really couldn't figure out who would be so bold as to kill the prince directly?

Are they these three princes?
Hong Siyang couldn't think of it, and he didn't dare to think of it.

It is said that the imperial family has been ruthless since ancient times, and there is indeed truth to this.

Perhaps, what Emperor Qing just said was indeed right.

Sometimes, the person who looks less and less like a murderer is often the murderer.

Maybe, in a few days, the truth will come to light.

I just don’t know, after this matter is over, who will be the next crown prince?

Thinking of this, Hong Siyang shook his head.

This matter is of great importance and it is not something that a servant like him can consider.

Let’s wait and see.

Hong Siyang didn't think any more and continued to lean against the courtyard wall, carefully observing every move nearby.

...Here, after returning to the main hall, Li Chengze saw that Li Chengru and Li Chengping had already fallen asleep.

He didn't say anything more, just continued to lie in the same position, put his hands behind his head, and thought about what to do next.

Even though I just learned that Emperor Qing has begun to order that Fan Xian will be beheaded at noon tomorrow, it was just talk.

It goes without saying that Emperor Qing doesn't dare to kill Fan Xian now.

Otherwise, there would be one Fan Jian, one Chen Pingping, and one Wu Zhu.

By the way, there is also Fan Xian’s master Fei Jie, who is not someone to be trifled with.

Although this guy is not strong in martial arts, he is an expert in using poison. It is said that he can poison a grandmaster with poison alone.

It can be imagined that this person is indeed extraordinary when it comes to poisons.

Li Chengze remembered in the original book that when Fan Xian got into trouble, Fei Jie directly told Chen Pingping that if Fan Xian was in danger, he would directly poison everyone in the city.

Therefore, if Fan Xian were really beheaded, he would be the first to take action.

These four people alone are enough to make Emperor Qing wary, not to mention other aspects.

The most important point is what will happen after Li Chengqian’s funeral is over.

How should he choose then?

Thinking of this, Li Chengze nodded.

If it really doesn't work, he will then start the second plan.

By then, Emperor Qing will definitely be shocked.

……

The night is as dark as ink, and the crescent moon is like a hook.

In the distant mountains, there is a muddy pond. As the breeze blows, many ripples appear.

Next to the pond, there was an old man wearing a straw raincoat, holding a withered yellow fishing rod and fishing in the water.

Although the water surface was pitch black, the old man's eyes were still fixed on it, and his body did not move at all, standing there like a statue.

After a while.

Suddenly, in mid-air, there was a sound of flapping wings.

Soon after, a silver-white carrier pigeon flew from the air not far away and slowly landed on the old man's raincoat.

The old man reached out and took the pigeon down, then took a small oil-paper bag from its ankle.

When he opened it, the carrier pigeon flapped its wings again and flew away not far away.

The old man took out a letter from the oil paper package. After quickly checking it, he understood what was going on and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

"A talented person has appeared in this world. He not only defeated Wu Zhu, but also cut off one of his arms!"

"Interesting."

The old man laughed a few times, and immediately gently pinched the letter paper in his hand.

With a 'pop' sound, the letter paper exploded into pieces in an instant.

The old man knew Wu Zhu before and had fought with him many times, but was defeated every time.

Therefore, Wuzhu's strength level is far higher than his.

And the letter just now said that there was a mysterious master who not only defeated Wu Zhu, but also cut off one of his arms.

You can imagine how powerful this person is.

The key is that this person is also an expert with swords.

After hearing the news, the old man began to tremble all over and his hands began to itch.

He was originally a genius in swordsmanship and was even given the title of Sword Saint. His favorite thing in life was to duel with sword masters.

Now suddenly appears, such a master swordsman.

How can I not be excited!
