Chapter 86: Things in hand, test of true strength
After Li Chengze arrived at a bedroom, he found a luxurious and elegant large bed not far away.

And on this big bed, there was a white-haired old woman lying, sleeping under a thin silk quilt, snoring from time to time.

This old woman was the empress dowager of the current dynasty, as well as Emperor Qing’s biological mother and grandmother.

Li Chengze remembered her appearance in his mind before.

Afterwards, Li Chengze didn't look at the Queen Mother for long, but turned over and went under her bed.

Because of the smoke inhalation, Li Chengze was not worried that the Queen Mother would suddenly wake up, so he had prepared for this in advance.

Just after Li Chengze rolled under the big bed, he began to feel around on the wooden board.

He remembered that in the original novel, the key to Fan Xian's box was hidden under the Queen Mother's bed.

as predicted.

After groping for a while, Li Chengze found a secret compartment.

Then he opened the secret compartment and looked forward.

There were no jewelry or banknotes in the secret compartment, only a piece of white cloth, a letter, and a key.

These are really the things.

Li Chengze said that he first picked up the white cloth, which was a piece of white silk made of extremely fine material. It was completely blank without any sticky marks.

He had read the original novel before, so he naturally knew what this white silk was.

Back then, Ye Qingmei used a Barrett sniper rifle to kill King Cheng’s two elder brothers, and also directly helped King Cheng’s family ascend to the throne.

Finally, after some operations, Qing Kingdom was transformed from a frontier barbarian country that valued military power over culture into a super powerful country that could unify the world.

However, although Ye Qingmei’s contribution was not small, it also brought an increasingly strong sense of fear to the Li royal family.

Especially the Queen Mother of Qing, who was in power at that time, was shocked and frightened by this. After failing to recruit her, she sent someone to give Ye Qingmei a white silk and asked her to commit suicide first.

However, Ye Qingmei not only did not commit suicide, but also asked Wu Zhu to personally deliver the white silk to the bedside of Queen Mother Qing, which almost scared her to death.

As for the letter inside, it was written by Ye Qingmei to Emperor Qing at that time and it didn’t have much meaning.

Li Chengze put the white silk back to its original place, took out the key from inside, and then closed the secret compartment.

Immediately afterwards, he slipped out from under the bed, tapped his feet a few times, and ran outside.

Soon, after Li Chengze came out of the hall, he found Fan Wujiu standing nearby.

Li Chengze handed the key in his hand to Fan Wujiu and said, "I'm giving it to you. You have to copy it as quickly as possible. Do you understand?"

Fan Wujiu took the key and nodded, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I promise I won't let you down."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran towards a place not far away.

When Li Chengze saw Fan Wujiu leave, he sat down on the grass next to him and began to wait.

As long as they wait for Fan Wujiu to successfully copy the key, they can leave the palace.

If everything goes as planned, we should be able to leave soon.

However, after sitting there for a while, Li Chengze felt a little bored and decided to go somewhere else.

Then he shook his head again, rejecting the idea.

Generally speaking, according to the normal plot, if nothing unexpected happens, there will definitely be an unexpected thing in the end.

So, it would be best for him not to go anywhere now and just wait here.

An old man said it well.

"I'd rather do nothing than make a mistake!"

Thinking of this, Li Chengze continued to sit there and wait.

……

at the same time.

The battle between Xiang Yu and Hong Sixiang has gradually unfolded.

Just now, Hong Sixiang didn't know who the person was. After all, he was wearing a mask and was wearing black clothes, so he couldn't see clearly who the other person was.

Therefore, the only way to test it is to use martial arts.

However, Hong Sixiang used several killer moves in succession, but they were all blocked by the young man in front of him, and he began to admire him. If he guessed correctly, this person should be around 25 or 26 years old, but his martial arts realm has already reached the ninth level.

If he continued to develop in the future, it would only be a matter of time before he reached the level of a grandmaster.

Here, Xiang Yu's spear made a few light strikes, but Hong Sixiang dodged them easily.

Immediately afterwards, he stopped, turned over and jumped, raised the spear in his hand forward, and smashed it down quickly.

When the spear fell, gusts of wind blew up, as if it had the power to split mountains and rocks.

When Hong Sixiang saw the spear coming at him with great force, he originally wanted to use his fingers to block it. However, after feeling the power of this move, he gave up the idea and dodged it easily with his body flashing.

"boom!"

The spear fell from the sky with extremely terrifying force, smashing heavily on the ground with a loud bang.

Not only that.

A crack several feet long had been smashed into the hard and solid ground.

Hong Sixiang looked at the ground below his feet, a gratified smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"Young man, you have quite a bit of strength."

"No wonder you dare to break into the palace at night and come to fight with me."

But Xiang Yu disagreed and said, "It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning!"

"Ha!" Hong Sixiang laughed, "Interesting."

at this time.

There was a sudden knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Eunuch Hong, are you okay?"

Hong Sixiang knew that the guards outside the door must have heard the noise just now, which was why they were so nervous.

After hearing the sound outside the door, Xiang Yu began to get nervous.

He didn't know whether the old eunuch in front of him would reveal his identity.

It is not yet the time agreed upon by His Highness.

Once you are discovered, you have to start thinking of other ways.

At this time, Hong Sixiang turned to the guards outside the door and shouted, "It's okay."

"I just want to stretch my muscles today."

After hearing Hong Sixiang's answer, the guards outside the door immediately said:

"I see. Then we won't bother you any more."

Everyone working in the palace knows that Hong Sixiang is a great master with high attainments in martial arts.

Since he wants to stretch his muscles, there is no need to disturb him.

Moreover, I guess no one is so desperate as to dare to provoke the Grand Master.

He simply thinks he's living too long!

After the guards left, Hong Sixiang looked at Xiang Yu and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"What's that expression on your face?"

"Did you feel just now that this old slave would expose you?"

Xiang Yu nodded and said, "I do have this idea."

Hong Sixiang said, "I have been living in the palace for almost twenty years and have not been active."

"It's not easy for a younger generation to come today, so naturally we have to make ourselves comfortable."

"However, in the competition later, I will not show mercy."

Xiang Yu waved his Overlord Spear and said expressionlessly: "Me too!"

"Let's take action!"
