Chapter 354: An old man waiting for his grandson.

On the top of the tall building, tiles were flying and wooden beams were broken, obviously it had been the scene of a battle.

The people in the building had already fled. It was not possible for Fan Xian with a sniper rifle to fight Ku He to this point, even if it was Ku He who was injured. But before Si Gu Jian blocked Li An's last sword attack on Wu Zhu, he had already fought with Ku He here.
At this time, Ku He fell among the ruins and fell into a coma.

He moved the tiles and broken wood away one by one, steadied the other person, took out the healing medicine in the space and planned to feed it to him. He pressed the acupuncture points all over Ku He's body, and after a few pills went down his throat, his face regained a hint of color.

There is hope.

It seems that the time has not come when the oil runs out.

While waiting for the pill to release its medicinal properties, Li An paid attention to his surroundings, looking for an "arm" that should be there, but after searching around, he found nothing.

Just as he was planning to bring Ku He back to Prince Heqin's mansion and then return, he heard the footsteps of someone coming.

"Has the letter been delivered?"

"Master, I have completed the task."

The person who came was Taoist He.

He looked at Ku He who was lying unconscious on the ground with a look of surprise. Fortunately, Li An was still intact at this time, otherwise he would really worry about what would happen to Northern Qi in the future.
Is the blind master mentioned by the national teacher really so terrifying?

"You delivered the letter too late!"

Li An sighed slightly and explained, "Si Gu Jian actually came to Kyoto in person, disrupting the layout! Even if we send another order, we won't have time to send troops to Dongyi City. It's a pity."

"This is Mr. He's dereliction of duty!"

Li An waved his hand and thought about the follow-up in his mind.

After a moment, Li An said in a deep voice: "Take Master Ku He back to Prince Heqin's mansion to heal his wounds. Tomorrow morning, you will take three letters to Jiangnan. Give one to Haitang Duoduo and ask her to go with you to kidnap Li Chengping, the third prince of Qing Kingdom!"

"This matter must be kept secret, and no word should leak out."

Taoist He opened his mouth and said in a muffled voice: "This can be done by one of my subordinates!"

Taoist He is a ninth-rank master. In this world, except for the grand masters, he can come and go freely. How could he go to Jiangnan to kidnap a child?
"Kidnapping the Third Prince is not about the level of martial arts, but about how to find the Third Prince in those fireworks without exposing yourself. That is the key to the problem! Bring Haitang Duoduo with you, she will always have some methods that are inconvenient for men to use!"

At this point, Li An's eyes became fierce. "If we can kidnap the person, that would be great. Then we can send him to the capital. But if that doesn't work, at the very least we have to kill him. Can you do it?"

As a prince, Li Chengping naturally has guards around him.

What's more, now that Emperor Qing has just passed away, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince are fighting in Kyoto, and the world is in turmoil, the guards around him must be powerful.

This was not aimed at Taoist He, but was to prevent the Crown Prince and the Second Prince from going crazy so that they could take action to deal with him.

Therefore, Taoist He might face the worshippers of Jiangnan Water Fort and the guards of the Third Prince on this trip.

"I will definitely be able to do it!"

Li An nodded and said softly, "You don't have to worry too much. If things don't go smoothly, you can go find my disciple Chen Xiao. I think he should have almost finished his work in Jiangnan. With his intelligence support, I think there won't be any problems."

Seeing that He Daoren was still concentrating on listening, Li An continued, "The second letter was to Shisanlang Wang, asking him to come to Kyoto and the Prince's Mansion to find me, saying: The opportunity for revenge has come. I think he knows what I mean."

Taoist He nodded and asked, "What about the third letter?"

Li An leaned close to He Daoren's ear and whispered: "."

"this!"

He Daoren's eyes widened, his pupils slightly contracted, and he said with some hesitation: "I understand."

"Yes." Li An took out a note and told the summoning method of the eighth-grade snow sculpture, and then said: "Just pass the note. This third letter will be sent to Shangshan Tiger. The time to send troops will come soon!"

The letter hasn't been written yet, and Li An plans to finish his work first.

Taoist He carried Ku He on his back, nodded to Li An, and left in the direction of the palace.

Seeing that he had no worries, Li An stood there silently for a moment, carefully savoring the experience and gains from the battle just now, then turned into the wind and swept towards the palace again.

······
When Li An returned, there were only a dozen bodies of the imperial guards at the scene.

Seeing that no one dared to step forward to deal with the scene, it was obvious that the soldiers were still worried that the god of death would attack again, and wanted to wait until daybreak to deal with it.

There are many people who support the prince, and now that he has ascended the throne, this has made some fence-sitters make up their minds.

Therefore, part of the prince's power was revealed.

It was not glorious to have such a big incident happen in front of the palace, not to mention that the prince fled without a fight?
They did not dare to interfere in the Grandmaster War, but they were still able to block the news. Many troops that had not been exposed before blocked the streets within a ten-mile radius with the palace gate as the center, making it increasingly difficult to enter and exit, and the people in the city had no idea what was happening in front of the palace.

Seeing all this, Li An jumped and headed towards the palace.

······
"No."

"We have searched all these palaces and bedrooms, but we still can't find any trace of Concubine Ning."

Li An had been in the palace for a while and had even visited the former queen's bedroom, but he found nothing after searching several places.

It seems that Li Chengqian has already transferred Ning Cairen and the third prince's mother, Yi Guipin. He was really cautious. He even remembered to take bargaining chips with him when he was escaping.

With a thought in mind, Li An looked at the Empress Dowager's residence, Hanguang Palace, which was not far away, and used his lightness skills to fly away like a ghost.

He had a hunch that perhaps there would be some surprises here!
Looking at the decadent palace in front of him, Li An pushed the door open and walked in.

"Cough cough."

"The weather has become a bit cooler." The old man lying on the couch was obviously not asleep yet, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Queen, someone has arrived."

In the darkness, an old lady who had been guarding the bedside spoke softly, without any panic in her voice.

"Help me sit up."

Li An waited silently for the old man to sort out everything. When everything was ready, his voice sounded like a ghost: "Who are you waiting for?"

"Oh, I am naturally waiting for my pitiful and hateful grandson."

"I wonder if your grandson will recognize you?" Li An said sarcastically, "The royal family of Qing is really a place where brothers are friendly and respectful to each other, and fathers are kind and sons are filial. It is said that generations apart are close, and you, as a grandmother, also love your grandson so much. It is really pleasing to us outsiders."

"You are the Grand Master of a country, and one of the rare Grand Masters in the world. Why do you have to ridicule me?"

The Queen Mother coughed a few times, her tone indescribably relaxed and indifferent, as if she was answering the king of the court in a nonchalant manner.

"You no longer call yourself Aijia?"

The door of Hanguang Palace was wide open. The drizzle outside had stopped long ago. The moon that had peeked out emitted a faint light that shone on Li An in the room, illuminating the coldness of the magic sword in his hand.

"You must know that today is the last day you will call yourself Ai Jia."
