Chapter 208 Things have changed.

Butler Chen looked at Li An as if he was looking at a god, or would it be more appropriate to call him a monster?
How could a mortal have ever seen such a scene?
Perhaps the gods depicted in the murals of the Northern Qi temples are just like you!

Zhao Tong'er walked closer to Li An with mixed feelings, and said in a soft and cautious voice: "Teacher, what did you do just now?"

Li An smiled helplessly and told a lie to avoid his disciple's worry: "Teacher has just made a breakthrough. At this moment, I may be considered the most powerful person in the world! How about it, is Tong'er happy?"

"Ok!"

Zhao Tong'er nodded firmly, her face regaining its excitement.

Who in this world would not feel excited and proud to be the disciple of the strongest person?
Just looking at the sword marks all over the field and the flying swords lined up in the sky, Zhao Tong'er still worriedly said: "Congratulations to Master for your great achievement! But if we want to restore this garden to its former appearance, it may take some time."

Listening to Tong'er's somewhat complaining words and the broken walls in front of him, Li An also smiled awkwardly.

I did not hold back when I attacked, but this kind of enlightenment-like state is hard to come by, and I really don't want to miss it.

All he could say was, "It's okay if it takes a long time to recover. I won't do this again in the mansion next time!"

"Humph!" Zhao Tong'er said dissatisfiedly: "It is naturally a good thing that the master has some insights."

"Tong'er, Housekeeper Chen, go check if the nearby rooms are damaged. It's still drizzling, so don't let the things inside get wet. Then go outside the mansion to appease the passers-by and neighbors, and tell them that the master in the mansion has made a breakthrough and strange phenomena have appeared in the sky!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Then teacher, I will go and check the damage to the surrounding rooms!"

"Go!" Li An nodded.

Perhaps, this news can bring some convenience to the Northern Qi envoys who are visiting the Kingdom of Qing?
Outside Wanshizhai, on the street.

"What happened? Why is it so horrible?"

"I just passed by the Imperial Master's residence. The source of this strange phenomenon must have come from the Imperial Master's Wanshizhai!"

"You're telling me that this celestial phenomenon is man-made?"

"Why do you have to deceive yourself? Apart from the Imperial Master, who else has such great power?"

"I think so too." Another person also echoed: "I think if the national teacher was born in ancient times, there would be one more person on the murals in the temple today!"

"Hahaha! Let me tell you, my distant relative's nephew works in Wanshizhai. He has seen the Imperial Master from afar. According to him, the Imperial Master is a living saint, a god from heaven!"

Soon, the news about the national teacher Li An's great power and awesome power in the palace spread like wildfire!

Everyone didn't know whether it was true or who had made the imperial teacher angry.

However, this news quickly spread throughout the city through word of mouth among the people.

Not only are many powerful families ordering their children not to behave recklessly in the near future, some people are also wondering whether they have offended the imperial teacher recently. If they have angered the other party, there would be no need for such a strange phenomenon. Perhaps the imperial teacher would just snort coldly, and the guards and servants in the family would surrender first.

How could they withstand this?
When the news reached the palace, the Queen Mother could not help but be surprised, slightly opened her mouth, and could not recover for a long time. She might have thought of Master Ku He, some people in this world are always different from others.

Zhan Doudou smiled lightly, as if she didn't care at all.

She opened her mouth and asked the person in front of her, "Prime Minister, has the delegation arrived in Qing Kingdom?"

The prime minister, who was still deep in thought, came to his senses and responded to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the news of the delegation has been reported back to the court. They have arrived in the capital of Qing Kingdom and are now being accommodated in the Kyoto Posthouse."

"Oh?" Zhan Doudou asked, "Who is the head of the delegation? Why is there no action yet?"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"The chief envoy of this mission is none other than Lord Wei Huawei, the son of Marquis Changning! It's not that they don't want to act, it's just that Emperor Qing is being weird and has been delaying. I don't know what he's thinking."

"The Emperor of the Southern Dynasty!"

They were both in the same profession, both emperors, and Zhan Doudou had always admired the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. What was unknown was that she had always been a little afraid of him.

Whether it was in terms of civil and military skills, or his own cultivation as revealed before, or the art of being an emperor, Zhan Doudou was far inferior to his opponent. "Do you know what excuse he is using to delay the situation?"

"Your Majesty, please look!"

The prime minister took out the letter sent back by the delegation from the inside of his robe and handed it to Zhan Doudou. Zhan Doudou took it and read it silently.

There were not many words on the letter, but Zhan Doudou still read it for a long time.

After a while, she handed the note to the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't even look at it. She put the note on the table and said, "Your Majesty, you are in power now. You must remember that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics in the future!"

In the past, she was the one who ruled the country from behind the scenes, but she had no choice but to do so.

Now that everything is back on track, it is natural to re-establish the rules, even though Her Majesty is his daughter, a woman.

If she has any questions, I will answer them for her, but there are many decisions that she cannot make for Her Majesty.

"Follow the teachings of my mother!"

The Queen Mother nodded and asked the Prime Minister, "Have you informed the Imperial Master of this?"

"Not yet. This letter has just arrived in Shangjing."

The Queen Mother nodded and asked a eunuch to go to the Imperial Master's Mansion to deliver the message. Half an hour later, the eunuch returned with the news about Li An and Wanshizhai.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother! Greetings to His Majesty!"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister." Li An nodded to him.

"National Division."

The prime minister also nodded.

"No need to be so polite, Imperial Master. Just come and read this news."

Zhan Doudou waved his hand, and the eunuch handed the letter to Li An.

After Li An finished reading it, he seemed to remember something and couldn't help but smile.

"Why is the Imperial Master laughing?"

"Of course it's because of the content of the letter." Li An pointed to the three characters of the Hanging Temple in the middle of the letter and said, "The wonderful thing about this is the location. Plus, the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Conference held every three years in Qing Kingdom is indeed an excuse that no one can find fault with."

"Since this excuse for delay is reasonable, why is the Imperial Master laughing?"

The prime minister understood that with Li An's ability, he must have known something, so he asked him sincerely.

Now, the purpose of the mission is to take care of an entire county, so he must be extremely cautious. In addition, although Li An was the first to do this, he was the one who was responsible for the execution and coordination, so he naturally had to be careful, so as not to disappoint the emperor and the people of Northern Qi.

"Originally, the Hanging Temple and chrysanthemum appreciation are two unrelated things, but if the two are combined, something big will happen."

"His Majesty!"

Li An's expression also returned to normal. He said in a deep voice, "I will write this letter to you. Your Majesty, please send someone to deliver it to the head of the delegation by pigeon. There must be no delay, lest the negotiations break down!"

Zhan Doudou looked surprised and asked why?

"There will probably be trouble at this chrysanthemum appreciation meeting. Emperor Qing may want to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Ye family's position in the army. By then, the useless Ye Liuyun will no longer have any value. How can Emperor Qing return the land of that county?"

"I see!"

The prime minister was also a little anxious. He touched his beard, but unexpectedly, he pulled out a few strands of it because he used too much force.

"So this is the reason why Emperor Qing delayed the audience with the envoys. Your Majesty, please make plans early."
