Was it intentional? Or was it out of necessity?
"If he did that on purpose, wouldn't it mean that he had already planned and orchestrated everything?"
Chen Pingping fell into thought.
As he pondered, a subtle, enigmatic smile appeared on his lips, and he remarked with a sigh:
"That kid Feng'er."
"They're becoming more and more unfathomable!"
At this point, Chen Pingping paused for a moment, then continued:
"Count the time."
"By now, Feng'er and the delegation should have arrived in the capital, right?"
"I wonder if Daoist He has made contact with him yet?"
At this moment, the shadow beside him spoke:
"Dean, the young master has revealed his martial arts skills at this time, which will likely make His Majesty even more suspicious of him."
Chen Pingping smiled calmly and said:
"Our Emperor is truly a man of great talent and unassuming abilities!"
"It seems I need to find an opportunity to test him."
Over the years, Chen Pingping has been secretly investigating the truth behind the Taiping Villa massacre.
The final conclusion was that the real mastermind was most likely Emperor Qing.
In addition, Chen Pingping also had some guesses, thinking that Emperor Qing should also be a martial arts master.
Now, the time has come.
He also wanted to see just how strong the emperor's martial arts skills were.
……
time flies.
Northern Qi Dynasty.
Go to the capital.
At this moment, Chen Qingfeng, along with Fan Xian, Wang Qinian, and some of the necessary officials from the Ministry of Rites, were entering the Northern Qi palace.
After passing through the palace gate, a burst of light suddenly appeared.
Looking around, one sees layers upon layers of eaves and thousands of palaces.
The palace buildings of the Northern Qi Dynasty were mostly black, exuding a solemnity while also revealing a touch of fresh, ancient style.
Chen Qingfeng looked around for a moment, then led the group through the long corridor, past the flowing water beside it, and gradually ascended.
Finally, we arrived at the main hall of the Northern Qi imperial palace.
Chapter 111: Chen Qingfeng and the Dragon and Phoenix Resonate Together! Zhan Doudou is Shocked! A Dream of Red Mansions Through the Ages!
Before the palace, the imperial guards of the Northern Qi Dynasty stood solemnly, each with a resolute expression.
Chen Qingfeng glanced at it and immediately figured it out.
These imperial guards were all at least seventh-rank martial arts masters.
Of course, for him, 4278 points of strength are nothing to worry about.
Afterwards, Chen Qingfeng led Fan Xian and the others straight into the main hall.
Upon seeing this, the head eunuch of Northern Qi shouted in a hoarse voice:
"The envoy from Nanqing has arrived!"
Chen Qingfeng strolled leisurely, completely ignoring the many strange looks he received in the main hall.
On the contrary, the officials from the Ministry of Rites within the delegation all seemed rather nervous.
After all, this is the imperial court of Northern Qi.
Before ascending the throne, Chen Qingfeng's expression remained calm as he faced Zhan Doudou, the young emperor of Northern Qi, seated in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, I, Chen Qingfeng, leading the Southern Qing delegation, pay my respects!"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng speak, Fan Xian and the others all bowed deeply to Zhan Doudou.
"Be flat!"
Zhan Doudou smiled slightly, her gaze fixed on Chen Qingfeng.
At the same time, Chen Qingfeng also looked at Zhan Doudou.
Somewhat surprisingly, the young emperor on the dragon throne was looking at him with an ambiguous gaze.
"Could this young emperor really have taken a liking to me?"
Chen Qingfeng muttered to himself.
This was something others might not know, but he knew it very well.
Zhan Doudou is a girl, and she even has a plan to have a child through artificial insemination.
Just as Chen Qingfeng was pondering, Zhan Doudou's mind was also racing.
"Is he Chen Qingfeng?"
"The authors of Dream of the Red Chamber and Journey to the West?"
"He is... truly a handsome and elegant man."
"Even his martial arts prowess is unfathomable!"
"How could such a person be a playboy?"
Zhan Doudou sighed softly, "Two, five, seven."
Before this, she had sent people to gather information about Chen Qingfeng.
They not only obtained Chen Qingfeng's portrait.
They also learned about Chen Qingfeng's reputation in the capital of Nanqing, where he was described as a playboy and dissolute young man.
In retrospect, these so-called public opinions were nothing but nonsense.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is all a smokescreen released by Chen Qingfeng to mislead others.
Next, Wang Qinian stepped forward and began to recite the imperial edict personally drafted by Emperor Qing.
Chen Qingfeng listened casually, knowing that this so-called national letter was nothing more than high-sounding words.
They say the friendship between the two countries will last forever, and they will be brothers for generations...
If that were the case, the Southern Qing and the Northern Qi would not have clashed.
As Zhan Doudou listened, she kept nodding slightly.
He seemed to agree with what was said in the book.
But not long after, Zhan Doudou, who was on the dragon throne, suddenly yawned, as if he had also grown tired of listening.
Fortunately, Wang Qinian quickly finished reading the letter from Nanqing.
At this moment, Zhan Doudou suddenly thought of something and stared straight at Chen Qingfeng, saying:
"Master Chen."
"Your new Journey to the West book is also extremely well written."
When will the chapters following "Havoc in Heaven" be released?
Upon hearing Zhan Doudou's words, all the court officials of Northern Qi were stunned and speechless.
After all, this was a meeting with the delegation from Nanqing.
But when Zhan Doudou asked these questions, they were completely unrelated to national affairs.
At this moment, behind Zhan Doudou's dragon throne, a black phoenix-patterned curtain hung quietly.
Behind the curtain, a graceful figure could be vaguely seen.
It was none other than the Empress Dowager.
Before Chen Qingfeng could reply, the Empress Dowager coughed, clearly reminding Zhan Doudou.
Upon hearing the Empress Dowager's cough, Zhan Doudou finally realized what was happening, and her face flushed slightly.
I know that asking such a question in this situation is somewhat inappropriate.
After a slight pause, Zhan Doudou waved her hand and said:
"The envoys from Nanqing have come a long way and must be tired. Please take your leave and rest!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng and the others bowed slightly to Zhan Doudou and then prepared to leave.
Just then, Zhan Doudou suddenly said again:
"Young Master Chen...!"
"You may stay and chat with me."
As soon as Zhan Doudou uttered these words...
All the officials of the Northern Qi court were shocked and surprised.
After all, this was in the imperial court, and it was rather impolite for their emperor to address Chen Qingfeng as "Young Master" instead of his official title.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingfeng frowned slightly, a sense of doubt creeping into his heart.
"Could it be that this young emperor of Northern Qi has really taken a liking to me?"
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Qingfeng remained composed and bowed respectfully to Zhan Doudou.
"His Majesty."
"As a newly arrived official, I am unsure how to conduct myself before the palace..."
Chen Qingfeng politely declined.
