Chapter 71 Qin Wu Leaves the Capital, Reactions of the Three Major Forces
After the Jiangnan King's lineage was executed.
The crimes of the King of Jiangnan were also made public.
After the people learned of the crimes committed by the King of Jiangnan, they all cursed him.
The King of Jiangnan is now infamous and will be remembered for his infamy forever.
This news was also learned by spies from other countries.
Upon learning this news, the Southern Qi spies couldn't help but curse the King of Jiangnan as a useless piece of trash, but there was nothing they could do.
Now none of them dare to step forward.
Otherwise, if they get caught, they'll definitely suffer a terrible fate.
After Qin finished overseeing the execution, he went directly to the palace to meet the Emperor of Eastern Qin.
"Father, the entire line of the King of Jiangnan has been wiped out."
Qin Wu explained the situation simply and clearly.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work this time. You've solved a big problem for Dong Qin."
The Emperor of Eastern Qin said with satisfaction.
"This is what I should do, but I have come here today to ask my father for permission to leave."
"The Northern Barbarian army is pressing in, and according to information, there is likely a Grandmaster among them. Your son must rush there as soon as possible to take charge."
Qin Wu spoke to the Eastern Qin Emperor.
Time is running out.
He couldn't waste any time, and since all his luggage was already packed, he left the palace and headed straight for Jubei City.
Is this news confirmed?
The Emperor of Eastern Qin was somewhat skeptical.
After all, there is an agreement among all countries that Grandmaster-level experts are instinctively ready to fight.
Otherwise, they would be hunted down by a coalition of Grandmaster-level experts from various countries.
"It cannot be completely confirmed. Just in case, I have decided to go there. I will not intervene unless that Grandmaster makes a move."
"Moreover, the agreements between the countries do not say that Grandmasters cannot go to the border cities."
Qin Wu explained.
If a Grandmaster wants to hide, it's very difficult for anyone other than a fellow Grandmaster to discover them.
Therefore, the safest course of action for him to go to Jubei City and take charge before anything is confirmed is to proceed.
"We are about to go to war with the Southern Qi. If you leave the capital at this time and go to Jubei City, you may be in danger."
Are you sure you want to leave at this time?
The Emperor of Eastern Qin said solemnly.
He recently received news that three grandmasters of the martial arts world had quietly arrived in the capital.
This is probably an attempt to prevent them from sending a Grandmaster to oversee the army attacking Southern Qi.
After all, this is a war of annihilation. If the Southern Qi is pushed too far, it is not impossible that they will send out a Grandmaster-level expert.
In this situation, no one cares about agreements. The country is about to be destroyed; adhering to agreements would be a joke.
"Father, I know what you are worried about."
"Those three old geezers won't find it so easy to deal with me."
"When I left, Father Emperor contacted two Grandmasters of the royal family and asked them to help stop the two others. If the remaining one comes to stop me, I will not hesitate to make him pay the price."
Qin Wu was not worried.
He knew very well what kind of strength those three people possessed; three years ago, he could have defeated any one of them.
Three years have passed.
His skills have improved significantly.
He is now fully confident that he can kill any one of the three.
If the three of them dared to split up and intercept him, he wouldn't mind killing one of them to establish his authority.
Let everyone understand that Grandmasters are not invincible.
Seeing Qin Wu's resolute determination, the Emperor of Eastern Qin knew that Qin Wu had made his decision and that it was impossible for him to stop him.
"Okay, when do you plan to leave?"
"After leaving the palace, I will go directly to Jubei City."
Qin Wu said.
"Alright, I will contact the two patriarchs to help you stop the two of them. The remaining one is up to you."
When the Emperor of Eastern Qin saw that Qin Wu was all prepared, he agreed.
But he was still a little worried.
After all, in his eyes, Qin Wu had only recently broken through to the Grandmaster level.
Even with considerable strength, it wouldn't be easy to defeat a Grandmaster.
"Don't worry, let them come. I can't guarantee I can kill them, but I can at least seriously injure them."
Qin Wu said confidently.
Those three were only at the mid-stage of the Grandmaster realm, while he had already reached the late stage.
The gap between each minor realm of the Grandmaster realm is huge; a single minor realm is enough for him to severely injure someone.
Moreover, he has recently encountered a bottleneck and needs to fight against other strong opponents of the same level to find a breakthrough opportunity.
This is a great opportunity.
"Alright, then be careful. If things don't go your way, come back and we'll discuss it further."
Seeing Qin Wu's resolute stance, the Emperor of Eastern Qin had no choice but to agree.
"Don't worry, I'll be going now."
After bowing respectfully, Qin Wu left immediately.
Stepping out of the imperial study, Qin Wu mounted his horse and rode out of the palace.
Before long, they arrived at the palace gate.
At this moment, 500 Great Snow Dragon Riders were already waiting outside the palace gates.
"Your Majesty."
Five hundred soldiers bowed to King Wu of Qin.
"lets go!"
Qin Wu gave the order directly.
The group then headed directly towards the north gate.
The news of Qin Wu leaving the city reached the residences of several princes immediately.
They were all curious as to why Qin Wu had suddenly left.
Moreover, judging from the direction Qin Wu left, he was heading north.
They immediately sent people to investigate.
In a small courtyard with three courtyards in the capital city.
"Sword Master, the Divine Martial King's sudden departure presents a good opportunity. Should we...?"
The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master made a throat-slitting gesture.
"Don't rush. I've already sent people to investigate and confirm whether there's any conspiracy involved."
The master of the spirit sword shook his head slightly.
The matter with the King of Jiangnan caused them a great loss.
They can't fall for it again this time.
"The Sword Master of the Spirit Sword is right. The matter of the King of Jiangnan has caused considerable losses to our three major forces. We should investigate it thoroughly first."
The head of the Wen family also agreed with the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword.
They couldn't afford it if it happened again.
"Don't worry, it won't be long before you all know that my daughter is Consort Xian of the Eastern Qin Emperor. I have already had someone contact her, and news will come soon."
Seeing that the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master was somewhat anxious, the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword spoke up and brought up his daughter.
After hearing what the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword said, the two felt somewhat relieved.
The palace can find out information much faster than they can, and it won't take much time.
Sure enough, not long after, a person shrouded in a black robe walked in.
"Greetings, Master of the Manor, and greetings to the two Grandmasters."
The man in the black robe removed his hat and bowed to the three men.
If anyone from the palace were here, they would recognize her as Granny He, who served Consort Xian.
She is a true member of the Spirit Sword Manor.
"No need for formalities. I had Qing Shu investigate whether it was possible to find out."
The master of the spirit sword inquired.
"We found out. We heard that something happened in Jubei City. The Divine Martial King has already rushed to Jubei City, but we can't find out the specifics of what happened."
"That's what Granny He said."
They originally wanted to find out what the Divine Martial King was doing in Jubei City.
However, only the Emperor of Eastern Qin, the two chief eunuchs beside him, and the Divine Martial King knew about it.
No one else knew.
These individuals are not easily bribed, let alone investigated.
"By the way, while we're investigating this, others are also investigating the same thing."
Granny He added.
When they investigated, they discovered that the Empress and the Imperial Concubine were also investigating the matter.
However, it seems that none of them were found.
They could only pass the message on to the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword and his group first.
"Okay, I understand. You go back first and have Qingya keep an eye on everything happening in the palace."
Now that the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword knows the situation, he has a plan in mind.
"Yes, then this old servant will take his leave."
Granny He turned and left.
"What do you two think of this matter? Could it be a scheme orchestrated by the Divine Martial King and the Eastern Qin Emperor and his son?"
The master of the spirit sword looked at the master of Xuan Yue Pavilion and the head of the Wen family.
"It's possible that the Divine Martial King is really going to Jubei City this time."
"This is what the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master said."
Their Xuan Yue Pavilion is located in the north.
They are the ones who know the situation in the north best.
He was also well aware of what had happened in the Northern Barbarian lands recently.
Knowing that the Northern Barbarians have once again sent troops to resist the Northern City, and that this time the scale is the largest in nearly twenty years.
Presumably, Ju Beicheng has also received this message.
As the commander of the Zhenbei Army, it is highly likely that Shenwu Wang would rush to Jubei City.
"How to say?"
The head of the household inquired.
He knew that Xuan Yue Pavilion had great influence in the north, so he must know something.
"The northern barbarians suffered natural disasters, and the country was unstable. In order to stabilize the situation, two large armies were dispatched, one to Xizhou and the other to Jubei City."
"And it's huge in scale, the largest in decades."
"According to the news, there may be Grandmasters accompanying the army heading to Jubei City. The Divine Martial King's departure must be for this reason."
The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master revealed what he knew.
"In that case, we cannot let the Divine Martial King reach Jubei City easily; we must hurry."
"That's what the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword said."
This is a great opportunity to make Dong Qin suffer a setback.
They definitely won't miss it.
"Alright, then the three of us will attack at the same time. Even if we can't defeat the Divine Martial King, we should be able to seriously injure him."
A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master.
With Qin Wu in the capital, they couldn't make a move, but his departure would be their opportunity.
If the Divine Martial King is seriously injured, then only two Grandmasters of the royal family will remain capable of fighting.
If the Northern Barbarians really send out a Grandmaster, the Eastern Qin will send out another Grandmaster if they want to resolve this matter, and then they can once again take action to defeat them one by one.
If two of the three Grandmasters of Eastern Qin are lost, they will be able to suppress the royal family once again.
It is unlikely that Eastern Qin will become powerful.
Moreover, they can be more unrestrained in their work.
They gain greater benefits, and even if the royal family knows, they can't do anything about it.
"Okay, let's do it like this."
The master of the spirit sword readily agreed.
He didn't want to miss such a good opportunity.
As long as he suppresses the Eastern Qin royal family, he can elevate his daughter's status in the palace.
They even forced the Emperor of Eastern Qin to appoint either the King of Han or the King of Qi as crown prince.
One of his two grandsons became the crown prince and will ascend the throne in the future, which will elevate the status of their Spirit Sword Manor.
They even became the guardian sect of Eastern Qin.
They can also use this to quickly improve their own strength and eventually suppress the other two major sects and the royal family.
They made the royal family their subordinates and controlled the entire Eastern Qin.
This is also why he was willing to let his beloved daughter enter the palace as a concubine.
The three reached an agreement and did not linger. They got up and chased after Qin Wu in the direction he had gone.
