EBE Chapter 72 The Retired Emperor and the War King
Chapter 72 The Retired Emperor and the War King
The three had just left the city gate.
Then someone blocked his way.
"Gentlemen, why did you leave without visiting your old friends after arriving in the capital?"
An old man looked at the three of them with a smile.
This person is one of the three Grandmasters of the royal family.
He was also the father of the Eastern Qin Emperor and the current Retired Emperor.
When the Eastern Qin Emperor found them, they learned of the Eastern Qin Emperor and Qin Wu's plan. The two of them then left their seclusion together to stop the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master and the others.
"Your Majesty, it's been a long time. May I ask why Your Majesty and the War King have stopped us?"
When the head of the Wen family saw the two old men in front of him, he knew what was going on.
Their tracks have been exposed.
These two people probably have ill intentions.
“Master Wen, we two old folks heard that our old friend has come to the capital, so of course we have to come and see him.”
"By the way, why did the three of you leave so suddenly? Is something the matter?"
The emperor said with a smile.
It was as if they had come to see an old friend.
Their purpose in intercepting them was to buy time, or even to detain them.
To prevent them from going to Qin Wu.
"Yes, gentlemen, it's been a long time. If it's not urgent, how about I extend my hospitality?"
The War King also spoke up.
In contrast to their leisurely pace.
The three sword masters of the Spirit Sword were extremely anxious.
The longer they are delayed, the harder it will be for them to catch up with Qin Wu.
Their plan is even less likely to be implemented.
"Your Majesty, King of War, the three of us have urgent business to attend to, so we can skip today's reunion. We will definitely visit you and apologize when we come to the capital again next time."
Wenren's master was a cunning and treacherous man.
Now is not the time to break ties with the royal family.
So he wanted to find an excuse to get rid of the two of them.
"Is that so? Why don't you tell me what urgent matter it is? My brother and I might be able to lend a hand."
“We’ve been friends for so many years, I’m sure my brother would be willing to help.”
The War King said with a smile.
Their attitude was clear: they wouldn't let the three of them leave easily.
“What my brother says is right. Why don’t you three tell me? If necessary, I will definitely take action. When the five Grandmasters of Eastern Qin act together, your problems will be easier to resolve.”
The retired emperor also said with a smile.
The three of them now understood that if they didn't take action, they probably wouldn't be able to leave today.
"Are you two really not going to let us leave?"
The Sword Master of the Spirit Sword looked at the two of them with cold eyes.
"Hahaha, what do you want to do? Do you really think I don't know? You can leave, but only one of the three of you can leave today. As for the other two, how about you stay and have a good drink with me?"
The emperor said with a smile.
That's also their goal.
The five of them are evenly matched in strength, so even if it's two against three, they won't be afraid; at most, they'll just have to pay a price.
The final result was that neither side could do anything to the other.
However, they did not intend to keep all three of them this time, but only to keep two of them.
As for letting one person leave, it was also to test Qin Wu's strength.
Their Eastern Qin royal family has been restricted for too long.
If Qin Wu can truly do what he says, then after this incident, Eastern Qin will no longer need to worry about the forces of the martial arts world.
At least until they are confident that they can seriously injure or kill Qin Wu, the martial arts world of Dongqin will not dare to make any rash moves.
They could then launch an attack on Southern Qi without any worries.
After hearing the Emperor Emeritus's words, the three sword masters understood that it was impossible for them to attack Qin Wu together this time.
"Who should go? I'm no match for Qin Wu."
Although the Sword Master of the Spirit Sword didn't want to admit it, it was a fact that he had been defeated by Qin Wu at the last palace banquet.
"I'll go!"
"However, I cannot guarantee that I can keep the Divine Martial King."
The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master spoke up.
The north is their Xuan Yue Pavilion's territory; he can go there to gather manpower and join forces to attack Qin Wu.
However, he can only mobilize a group of grandmasters, so it is unlikely that he can keep Qin Wu.
Even if we can't keep him, we can at least seriously injure him.
"That's what the head of the Wen family said."
Even if the three of them joined forces, they wouldn't be confident of capturing Qin Wu.
Therefore, he did not insist that the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master keep Qin Wu.
"Take this. It can summon the grandmasters and experts of my Wenren family who are training outside."
The head of the Wen family took out a signal flare and handed it to the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master.
“This belongs to my Spirit Sword Manor.”
The Sword Master of the Spirit Sword also took out a signal flare and handed it to the Pavilion Master of Xuan Yue.
This can be considered as the two of them agreeing to the proposal of the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master.
"Alright, leave this to me, but I can't guarantee anything."
The Xuan Yue Pavilion Master took the two signal flares and spoke again.
"it is good."
The head of the Wen family and the master of the Spirit Sword did not say anything more.
"Since the Emperor Emeritus and the War King have said so, then I will take my leave first. I will apologize to you both after I have finished dealing with this matter."
After the three finished their discussion in hushed tones, the Pavilion Master of Xuan Yue clasped his hands in a fist salute to the two Emperor Emeritus and said a few words.
He then rode away directly.
The Emperor Emeritus and the War King did not stop them; having achieved their goal, they did not allow the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master to leave.
"Why don't you two go back and sit down together? Let's catch up."
"Let's wait for the results together."
The retired emperor smiled and said to the remaining two.
“Good, it’s been a long time since I’ve caught up with the Emperor Emeritus.”
The head of the Wen family said with a smile.
After chatting for a few minutes, the four of them went to the royal villa together.
Qin Wu also received the news.
"Do you really dare to come?"
Qin Wu looked at the intelligence report and sneered.
Do you really think that a Grandmaster leading a group of Grandmasters can defeat him?
Do you really think the snow dragon riders around them are pushovers?
Qin Wu did not stop and continued on his way, but he also sent out his guards to keep a close watch on the movements of the Xuan Yue Pavilion Master.
