Sword Qi of the heavens

Chapter 172 Today, regaining the imperial power

Hearing Xiao En's willingness to express his loyalty, and faintly hinting that he has persuaded Uesugi Tiger to return to his heart.

Although the Empress Dowager and Zhan Doudou had expected it long ago, when the two of them actually saw this scene, there was still an unconcealable surprise on their faces.

"Master Xiao, everyone knows your contribution to the Northern Qi Dynasty in the past."

"In the past, I have always regretted that I could not bring Master Xiao back from Nanqing earlier. Now that Master Xiao can return to Northern Qi, it is really a great blessing for me in Northern Qi!"

Zhan Doudou quickly came to Sean and helped Sean and Uesugi Tiger up.

Xiao En and Uesugi Tiger looked excited and looked extremely happy, but Haitang Duoduo could see that the two had been secretly looking at Li Changlan from the corner of their eyes.

She didn't bother to point it out.

A great master is willing to participate in the situation of the world.

Such as the Northern Qi Dynasty, where the imperial power is not stable at all, how can it be qualified to sit on an equal footing with it.

Unless Li Changlan really did something to the Northern Qi royal family.

Otherwise, with Ku He's cautiousness and personality, he would never take the initiative to show too obvious hostility towards Li Changlan.

Especially now that Wu Zhu appeared first, and then Fan Xian took the initiative to enter Northern Qi.

Even if Li Changlan wants to meet Ku He, whether Ku He dares to meet him while he is already injured is unknown.

Just when everyone in the court was shocked that Uesugi Tiger was finally willing to surrender.

Yan Xiaoyi, who hadn't moved since entering the hall, walked up to Zhan Doudou and knelt down not far away.

He looked up at Zhan Doudou with an extremely firm tone.

"Yan Xiaoyi, a foreign minister, is willing to belong to the Northern Qi Dynasty and obey His Majesty's command!"

Yan Xiaoyi, as the commander of the Nanqing palace guards, had a great reputation in Nanqing, but in Northern Qi, apart from the masters who specialize in martial arts, not many people knew his name.

but.

With the emergence of his name, and the popularity of some generals.

After knowing Yan Xiaoyi's identity, more and more people showed extreme astonishment, and they all exclaimed in surprise.

"Yan Xiaoyi, the only ninth-grade archer in the world!"

"As the most trusted subordinate of Emperor Nan Qingqing, he actually appeared in our Northern Qi kingdom, and he even seems to be planning to join our Northern Qi. Does anyone know what's going on?"

"Yan Xiaoyi is too close to His Majesty, hurry up and protect His Majesty! Just in case there is fraud!"

Inside the hall.

The arrival of Yan Xiaoyi finally made the scene panic.

It is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing for a ninth-rank upper archer from the enemy country to appear at a distance of about ten steps from Zhan Doudou.

Loyal generals in Northern Qi, including Zhong.

They came to Zhan Doudou one after another, blocked him and the empress dowager behind them, and looked at Yan Xiaoyi, who was kneeling on the ground, still motionless, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Go back!"

"With Grandmaster Li Changlan by my side, don't you think there will be some trouble here?"

Zhan Doudou yelled and quickly dispelled the worries of everyone present.

There are great masters here.

He, Yan Xiaoyi, is a rank nine archer, no matter how good he is, how good can he be?

Langtao, the top Ninth Rank master that Northern Qi is proud of, may not be able to beat his student Fan Xian, so how can they talk about the great master Li Changlan who is so different from Ninth Rank.

"Yan Xiaoyi, let me ask you, are you really willing to join me in Beiqi?"

Zhan Doudou flicked his sleeves lightly, retreated the people around him, came to a position a few steps away from Yan Xiaoyi, lowered his head slightly, looked at Yan Xiaoyi and asked.

"The minister's wishes are absolutely not false." Yan Xiaoyi knelt on the ground, with her head on the ground and her hands supporting her body.

His answer was crisp and clear without hesitation.

Perhaps Zhan Doudou just knew the reason why Yan Xiaoyi joined Bei Qi, but because she had never had any contact with Yan Xiaoyi, and she was not a great warrior herself, it was naturally difficult to feel empathy.

Haitang Duoduo and Fan Xian had extremely complicated expressions.

Yan Xiaoyi, as a ninth-rank archer in the world, is powerful, so he must be an extremely arrogant person.

Before in the capital, when Fan Xian broke into the palace in the middle of the night after the banquet held by Mo Han in Northern Qi Zhuang, and stole the key to the box left by Ye Qingmei, Yan Xiaoyi had never found the injury from the arrow on him.

Instead, he had to apologize to Fan Xian and made some actions that were detrimental to his dignity.

But that's just a personal thing.

He openly appeared above the Northern Qi court and kowtowed to Zhan Doudou.

This kind of behavior will undoubtedly be judged as treasonous behavior, and will be charged by Emperor Qing regardless of any reason, and even issued a death order in order to protect Nanqing's face.

In the world, I am afraid that many people criticize him verbally and in writing.

Fan Xian sighed in his heart.

Is it really worth it for just one Li Yunrui?
Don't you want the dignity of a dignified warrior, as well as your past positions?
Although Zhan Doudou is a daughter and is not very old, but as an emperor, he pays attention to power and strategy, and doesn't care too much about the dignity of those warriors.

Take Li Yunrui's life to control Yan Xiaoyi.

Not only can Northern Qi have an extra ninth-rank archer, but it can also deal a big blow to Nanqing at the national level.

It is inevitable that the left and right countries will go to war, so why not do something like this?
After Yan Xiaoyi fully expressed his willingness to be loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty, and Zhan Doudou said some extravagant remarks, showing his desire to cherish talents.

This birthday, which belongs to the Empress Dowager, really entered the link of eating, drinking and drinking.

Those Northern Qi officials also ate happily, and their voices were much louder than usual when chatting.

Soon.

Several officials got drunk.

see this scene.

Not only did Zhan Doudou and the empress dowager not feel angry, but they were even happier.

After the Northern Qi Dynasty passed today, with Xiao En, Uesugi Tiger, and Yan Xiaoyi expressing their willingness to surrender, Li Changlan gave confidence to all the court officials like a needle of Dinghai.

So far, the Northern Qi royal family has truly reunited the imperial power.

Only heavy, but with a gloomy face, looked extremely angry.

After much deliberation, he couldn't figure out why his younger sister Shen Wan'er appeared here, let alone why the emperor and empress dowager of the Northern Qi Dynasty could acquiesce in Li Changlan's rude behavior, and didn't even ask about Shen Wan'er's identity at all. .

He looked at Shen Wan'er, who had already sat beside Li Changlan and was about to pour wine for him, but Li Changlan forcibly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head slightly, and tried his best not to let others notice his cold eyes that could kill him .

Li Changlan looked natural, holding Shen Wan'er's soft little hands and rubbing them slowly.

There was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and from time to time, Shen Wan'er deliberately made Shen Wan'er yell because of the pain and fear.

Zhan Doudou knew that Li Changlan was warning Shen Shen, so he didn't say much.

Jin Yiwei's status in the Northern Qi Dynasty was detached, which was equivalent to that of the Nanqing Inspection Institute. A commander in chief of Jin Yiwei who was not loyal to the emperor, whether he was dead or alive, was no longer important.

It is best to be able to control the heaviness.

No, it doesn't matter if you kill it.

With Li Changlan doing it himself, even in an organization like Jinyiwei, absolutely no one would dare to openly make an enemy of a grand master.

"Brother, sir, is it a bit..."

As a woman, Fan Ruoruo couldn't bear to see Shen Wan'er's face full of fear, her shoulders trembling slightly, and her face pale.

Fan Xian waved his hand and said, "Ruo Ruo, we should eat and drink as we should. The affairs in the court are not so open and aboveboard. We only care about the result and not the process. We can't interfere with what you do, Mr. .”

"Besides, it's heavy and disloyal to His Majesty the Emperor."

"After this little Northern Qi emperor regained control of power, if she didn't punish the Chong Nine Clans, it would be considered soft-hearted."

"Our husband is willing to give him a chance to live, which is kind enough."

While Fan Xian was talking, he wanted to force Fan Ruoruo to drink and eat together.

Wang Qinian understood it even more, and decisively moved his desk over, respectively, and Gao Gao turned their backs to Li Changlan's direction, blocking Fan Ruoruo's view.

the other side.

Seeing Li Changlan's actions, Shen Zhong became more open-minded.

Shen Wan'er was wantonly taken advantage of by Li Changlan, her clothes were a little messy, her eyes were already wet with tears, and she might cry at any moment.

He slammed the wine glass heavily on the table.

After drinking several more glasses of wine in a row, he dared to look up at Li Changlan in front of him because he was a little drunk.

However, when looking heavily at Li Changlan.

He inadvertently glanced at the Empress Dowager and Zhan Doudou, and found that the two were holding wine glasses filled with wine, chatting happily with each other, and there was no estrangement and defense in the past.

Thinking heavily of Shen Wan'er appearing here, His Majesty turned a blind eye again.

His heart sank suddenly.

next moment.

The Empress Dowager and Zhan Doudou seemed to notice the heavy gaze, and they all looked at him.

"Commander Shen has something to say?" Zhan Doudou asked with a light smile.

"Master Shen is in charge of Jinyiwei, and he has made a lot of contributions to us in the Northern Qi Dynasty. If you have something to say, you can just say it. If the Ai family can satisfy you, you will be satisfied." The queen mother nodded slightly, showing a smile, followed Said.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them heavily, cold sweat instantly broke through the skirt of their clothes.

"Something's wrong. The closeness between the Empress Dowager and His Majesty is definitely not an act of faking. Could it be the conflict between the two of them in the past..."
