On the other side, Wu Zhu met up with Fan Xian. 2
Upon seeing Wu Zhu return, Fan Xian approached him, his face filled with shock.
"Uncle Wuzhu!"
"You're so awesome!"
"Even a Grandmaster could be fought."
Fan Xian said excitedly, "Meeting you today has truly broadened my horizons."
Wu Zhu remained calm and said: 9
"Now that today's business is done, we should head back."
With that, Wu Zhu turned to leave.
Seeing this, Fan Xian quickly stopped him:
"and many more!"
Wu Zhu paused, turned to face Fan Xian, and asked in confusion, "Is there something else?"
Fan Xian frowned and said seriously:
"Uncle Wuzhu, you just said that the Empress was the one who killed my mother?"
"Yes."
Wu Zhu nodded.
Fan Xian's face darkened, and he pressed, "Why did she want to harm my mother?"
Wu Zhu paused for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "I have many missing memories, and I don't remember why. I only know that the Empress killed Miss!"
"Then why didn't you kill the Empress just now? Instead, you had another group of people kidnap her?"
Fan Xian questioned.
He had previously thought that Wu Zhu was taking action to avenge his mother and kill the Empress.
Who knew that after Wu Zhu rushed out, he didn't target the Empress, but instead started fighting with Ye Liuyun.
"With Ye Liuyun and that person around, I can't kill the Empress."
Wu Zhu replied.
Fan Xian wanted to ask something more, but Wu Zhu had already turned and walked out.
Chapter 78: Emperor Qing is shocked! Two Grandmasters! The capital city is in turmoil!
Xingqing Palace.
In the Imperial Garden, Emperor Qing stood by the lake, dressed in a loose white robe.
Beside him were a table and chairs.
On the table, various snacks and pastries were displayed, and a pot of fine tribute tea was brewing.
Not far away, Hong Sixiang was holding a fishing rod for Emperor Qing, intently watching the float on the lake.
"Eunuch Hong, do you think you can catch any fish?"
Suddenly, Emperor Qing turned his gaze toward Hong Sixiang.
Hong Sixiang smiled effeminately and replied:
"This old servant is merely holding the fishing rod for Your Majesty; Your Majesty is the one fishing."
Emperor Qing smiled slightly and glanced at the screen, saying:
"Judging by the time, news should have come back by now."
Hong Sixiang nodded and replied:
"With that Grandmaster from the Ye family with us, if the other party dares to make a move, we will definitely be able to capture him."
"Then we will know who has been stirring up trouble in Kyoto lately."
Emperor Qing could not deny what Hong Sixiang said.
He was well aware of Ye Liuyun's strength; if it weren't for the Ye family, he might not be able to command him even here.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from not far away.
Emperor Qing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a commander of the Imperial Guards walking quickly toward him in a disheveled state.
"Ok?"
Upon seeing this, Emperor Qing frowned slightly, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
Before long, the Imperial Guard Commander 8521 stepped forward, knelt on one knee before Emperor Qing, and reported:
"His Majesty!"
"Your subordinate deserves to die; the thieves have kidnapped the Empress."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing was greatly shocked, his face filled with disbelief.
I was just talking with Hong Sixiang, and I thought that if anyone dared to lay a hand on the Empress, they would definitely be caught.
Who would have thought it would turn out like this?
"how?"
"Didn't that person from the Ye family make a move?"
The commander of the Imperial Guards pursed his lips and quickly explained:
"Grandmaster Ye has made his move."
"However... the other side is also quite formidable, with two Grandmasters!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing and Hong Sixiang were even more shocked.
"Two grandmasters? Such a grand gesture?"
Emperor Qing frowned, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant.
After all, using the Empress as bait this time was to catch a big fish.
To his surprise, some fish did take the bait, but the fishing line he prepared wasn't thick enough, so he couldn't pull them up at all.
"Commander Yu, are you sure the other party are two Grandmasters?"
"How many Grandmasters are there in the entire world?"
"Could it be that Si Gu Jian from Dongyi City and Ku He from Northern Qi have both come?"
"Do you think that's possible?"
After a brief silence, Hong Sixiang inquired.
Seeing that Hong Sixiang did not believe him, Commander Yu quickly said:
"It was Grandmaster Ye who said it himself."
"Those two were neither Si Gu Jian nor Ku He."
"One of them was unusually tall and strong, and the other had a cloth covering his eyes."
Upon hearing the commander's description, Emperor Qing immediately thought of Wu Zhu.
"It's Wu Zhu."
"He's going to harm the Empress?"
Emperor Qing muttered to himself, thinking that if that was the case, then what happened earlier wasn't directed at him.
It's understandable that Wu Zhu, being Ye Qingmei's man, wanted to kill the Empress to avenge her.
But then Emperor Qing rejected his idea.
"wrong."
"Given Wu Zhu's personality, if he wanted to take action against the Empress, he would have stormed into Kunning Palace directly."
"It's impossible to use such underhanded methods."
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing snapped out of his reverie and asked with a cold expression:
"Are those two grandmasters working together?"
Commander Yu shook his head and said:
"No."
"Grandmaster Ye asked, and it seems that the two grandmasters on the other side do not know each other."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qing frowned and began to ponder:
"Don't you recognize them? Yet they all attacked the Empress at the same time."
"This means that, besides Wu Zhu, there is another force in the shadows that is targeting the Crown Prince and the Empress."
Upon thinking of this, Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
Now he was certain that a powerful force was secretly targeting the Daqing royal family.
Thinking this, Emperor Qing turned his gaze and looked directly at Hong Sixiang:
"Eunuch Hong!"
"What was the physique of the assassin you encountered in the palace before? Was he exceptionally burly?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang shook his head and said:
"The man was well-proportioned and not exceptionally burly."
Upon hearing this reply, a look of shock flashed in Hong Sixiang's eyes.
Emperor Qing suspected that the assassin who broke into the palace that night was the same person who had kidnapped the Empress this time.
However, judging from their body shapes, the two are not the same person.
"Besides Wu Zhu, wouldn't this mean there are two more Grandmasters in the world?"
