That was when Chen Qingfeng personally admitted at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet that he was a Grandmaster.
"That Chen Qingfeng!"
"What...what an arrogant tone!"
"He's only been in Northern Qi for a few days, and he's already challenging Ku He, the number one expert in Northern Qi!"
Emperor Qing exclaimed in surprise.
His gaze shifted, looking directly at Hong Sixiang, and he said again:
"Eunuch Hong."
"Tell me, isn't Chen Qingfeng arrogant?"
Hong Sixiang bowed slightly and replied:
"Return to Your Majesty."
"In my opinion, Chen Qingfeng's actions must have been planned long ago."
"His mission to Northern Qi this time demonstrates his strength."
"He successively defeated ninth-rank masters such as Uesugi Tiger, Haitang Duoduo, He Daoren, and Lang Tao (bfae)!"
"Since they dared to declare war on Grandmaster Ku He, they must have some confidence."
After Hong Sixiang said this, Emperor Qing slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"Having some confidence?"
"Do you think... he might actually be a Grandmaster?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Sixiang was stunned and deeply shocked.
He had considered this possibility before.
But it also feels unbelievable.
After all, how old is Chen Qingfeng? How could he possibly become a Grandmaster?
Emperor Qing paid no attention to Hong Sixiang's hesitation and continued:
"He was able to defeat General Shang Shanhu of Northern Qi with a single sword strike and even capture the Holy Maiden Haitang Duoduo of Northern Qi!"
"After entering the capital, he defeated the ninth-rank swordsman He Daoren with a single sword strike."
"At the birthday banquet of Northern Qi, he even subdued Lang Tao, the chief disciple of Ku He, with a single palm strike."
"Such strength."
"No matter how I look at him, I feel he is a Grandmaster!"
At this point, Emperor Qing's expression turned grim.
Before this, many strange things had happened in the palace.
Crown Prince Li Chengqian was poisoned.
Despite Ye Liuyun's presence, the Empress was still kidnapped.
A white silk ribbon was sent to the Empress Dowager's pillow.
Emperor Qing sent Ye Liuyun to test Chen Qingfeng, but he disappeared without a trace afterward.
At first, Emperor Qing didn't quite understand it.
But now, with Chen Qingfeng daring to declare war on Kuhe in Northern Qi, he has vaguely come to understand something.
I think Chen Qingfeng is very likely a Grandmaster.
In this case.
Many things can then be explained.
Take Ye Liuyun for example. It is highly likely that he was forced to disappear because he was defeated by Chen Qingfeng.
The Empress's abduction might also be inextricably linked to Chen Qingfeng.
The fact that a white silk ribbon was sent to the Empress Dowager's pillow was very likely also Chen Qingfeng's doing.
After thinking for a moment, Emperor Qing's expression became even more solemn.
He suddenly felt a sense of apprehension towards his son.
You should know that before, all they knew was that Chen Qingfeng was a playboy who liked to listen to music in brothels.
Only then did the true nature of the story gradually come to light.
These secrets were hidden right under Emperor Qing's nose, yet he remained completely unaware of them.
"call……"
After a brief silence, Emperor Qing let out a long sigh and looked directly at Hong Sixiang:
"Eunuch Hong!"
"Do you think the force behind the kidnapping of the Empress is related to Chen Qingfeng?"
Hong Sixiang was taken aback, and replied:
"Your Majesty, this old servant dares not make a hasty conclusion."
"The force that kidnapped the empress also has a Grandmaster in charge."
"Just as Your Majesty suspected."
"Chen Qingfeng dared to openly challenge Ku He, so he might actually be a Grandmaster."
"If that's really the case, wouldn't there be two more Grandmasters in the world all at once?"
"It's really...unbelievable!"
Hong Sixiang looked shocked.
He knew very well how difficult it was to advance to the Grandmaster level.
But now, two more Grandmasters have suddenly appeared, which is truly unbelievable.
Emperor Qing glanced at him slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Didn't you ever think about that?"
"Is it possible that there was only one Grandmaster from beginning to end?"
Upon hearing Emperor Qing's words, Hong Sixiang frowned suddenly and asked with slight doubt:
"Your Majesty means... Chen Qingfeng?"
The group of Qingdi Novel members nodded, their suspicions about Chen Qing's identity growing stronger.
Although the Grandmaster who kidnapped the Empress was burly and his physique was quite different from Chen Qingfeng's, he was still very powerful.
But as a Grandmaster, Emperor Qing knew very well that changing one's physical appearance was not a difficult thing.
Compared to the fact that two more grandmasters have suddenly appeared in this world.
He is more inclined to believe that there is actually only one Grandmaster.
After a moment's thought, Emperor Qing sighed:
"My son really does like to hide his talents!"
"He lived in Kyoto for more than ten years, and I didn't notice anything unusual at all!"
"Eunuch Hong!"
"Tell me, he hid it so well, why did he choose to reveal it at this time?"
Hong Sixiang shook his head.
I can't figure out why Chen Qingfeng did that.
Emperor Qing gave a cold laugh and didn't ask any further questions.
After a brief silence, Hong Sixiang asked:
"His Majesty."
Do you think Ku He will accept Chen Qingfeng's challenge?
Emperor Qing smiled calmly and said decisively:
"Of course!"
"Kuhe will not only accept challenges."
"Moreover, for him, this battle is one where he can only win and not lose!"
Hong Sixiang nodded and said with emotion:
"Yes!"
"If they are defeated, the faith of the people of Northern Qi will probably collapse."
Emperor Qing said nothing more, got up and walked to the window, looking north.
"Can Chen Qingfeng beat Ku He?"
"If we really win..."
Thinking of this, Emperor Qing couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Chen Qingfeng is simply too young.
It's unbelievable that someone could reach the level of a grandmaster in martial arts at the age of ten or so.
“By the adoration of the bitter lotus for her.”
"Even if Chen Qifeng is no match for him, he probably won't hurt him."
"..."
Emperor Qing's thoughts were in turmoil.
It was precisely what Chen Qingfeng had demonstrated.
It deeply shocked him.
