A short while later, the doors to rooms number one and two were closed again.
Although no fight ultimately broke out, the incident certainly caught the attention of onlookers.
Onlookers: Huh?
We love watching these scenes of palace intrigue and power struggles.
Especially the power struggles between strong women.
The two sisters turned against each other because of a man, and the younger sister joined forces with her older sister's rival to take down her.
This melon sounds delicious.
While everyone else was enjoying the gossip, Li Chengqian calmly sipped his tea.
Managing such matters naturally requires a combination of vertical and horizontal alliances, and supporting the weak while fighting the strong.
If they don't make a fuss, how can I defeat them one by one?
As for why they haven't closed the net yet...
The fish haven't all come in yet, so why are you pulling in the net?
After setting down their teacups, the inn fell silent instantly.
As everyone knows, this is a signal that Mr. Li is about to begin his lecture.
"Since none of you have any questions, then I, Li, will continue my commentary on the Great Song Dynasty's list of Grandmasters."
"Fourth on the Grandmaster Ranking, An Shigeng!"
brush!
Upon hearing this name, Zhuge Zhengwo frowned.
He hadn't expected An Shigeng to be skilled in martial arts, and even to have made it onto the Grandmaster list.
Chapter 273 The First Martial King Appears, Li Chengqian Controls Zhuge Zhengwo
An Shigeng's ascent to the Grandmaster List surprised not only Zhuge Zhengwo.
Everyone in the room stared wide-eyed.
Because the Divine Marquis's Mansion has been investigating the counterfeit currency case, which has also implicated a series of other matters.
All the clues to these events point to An Shigeng, who is known as the God of Wealth.
Sensing the movement in the yellow-lettered room, Li Chengqian's lips curled up slightly.
This guy with the braid on his chin is up to no good.
With such high martial arts skills, how dare he act like a novice in front of me? He's been here for so many days, yet he hasn't even come to pay his respects.
Within the confines of Ping An Inn, Li Chengqian would not tolerate anyone being more powerful than himself.
Zhang San and Li Si tried to show off, but they were outmaneuvered.
Although Zhuge Zhengwo is much stronger than them, that doesn't stop me from making things difficult for him.
"An Shigeng is ostensibly a favorite of Cai Jing of the Song Dynasty."
"Because those who cooperate with him can make a fortune, he is known as the God of Wealth."
"He is skilled in various Western Region techniques, such as ice and fire techniques, divine weapon techniques, and so on. Moreover, his Western Region fire escape technique is exceptional."
"Since Western Region techniques are rarely seen in the Central Plains, they can provide a slight advantage in combat."
"After comprehensive consideration, he was placed fourth on the Grandmaster list."
After speaking, Li Chengqian paused briefly, neither drinking tea nor saying anything.
He just stares at one direction with a smile, as if waiting for someone to ask him a question.
Zhuge Zhengwo naturally also noticed this situation.
When you enter a house, you greet the people inside; when you enter a temple, you worship the gods—these are the rules.
It would be understandable for an ordinary person not to pay a visit to Li Chengqian, but for someone of his status, it would be somewhat inappropriate not to.
Zhuge Zhengwo gave a helpless wry smile and said, "You guys get ready."
"Mr. Li might be causing us some trouble later."
Hearing this, the people in the room looked puzzled.
Zhui Ming, who had spent years roaming the martial world, was extremely panicked. It goes without saying how great the name of the Peaceful Sword Immortal was in the martial world.
Now that this powerful figure has his eye on them, how can they not panic?
"What's going on? Why is Mr. Li suddenly targeting us?"
"We didn't do anything to him!"
"This is something that can't be explained in a short time, but you'll understand soon enough."
Only the experts in the inn and the people in the bamboo grove courtyard understood Li Chengqian's subtle actions.
The wandering travelers in the inn were completely unaware of what was happening; they were engrossed in discussing An Shigeng's situation.
"Who is this An Shigeng? Are there any brothers from the Song Dynasty who can explain this?"
"I have heard of him, but An Shigeng works in the imperial court; I've never heard of him knowing martial arts!"
"And he even made it to fourth place on the Grandmaster list."
The martial arts practitioners below were completely confused, while those who were focused on gossiping naturally wanted to figure out what was going on.
Then some people started jeering, "Mr. Li, how come An Shigeng is ranked fourth on the Grandmaster list!"
"Are those Western Region magical arts really that powerful?"
Could you explain in more detail?
"Yeah, tell me!"
"Actually, I didn't want to put An Shigeng on the Grandmaster list, since the storytelling forum only talks about strange and interesting things in the martial arts world."
"But the Song Dynasty is suffering from a shortage of skilled martial artists, so An Shigeng is indeed quite a character."
"That's why I put him on the list. As for his specific strength..."
Halfway through his sentence, Li Chengqian deliberately paused for a moment, then looked around before speaking.
"Let me give you an example, and you should be able to understand An Shigeng's strength."
"The Divine Constable's Office of the Great Song Dynasty has been re-established, and it now has four renowned constables under its command."
"These four are: Cold-blooded, Ruthless, Iron Hand, and Life Chaser."
"The four of them are among the best in the younger generation, and each of them has their own unique skills."
"Their cultivation levels are all at the peak of the Grandmaster realm. If the four of them join forces, they can defeat anyone below the seventh rank on the Grandmaster list."
"Among the Grandmasters ranked seventh and above, but below fourth, excluding Qiao Feng, if the four of them fought to the death, they could all perish together."
"But if they face An Shigeng, they'll only get beaten up."
"Does everyone understand now?"
After he finished speaking, the corners of everyone's mouths twitched.
Is this Divine Marquis's Mansion so powerful?
It's important to understand that although there's only a one-word difference between Grandmaster and Master, there's a vast chasm between them.
·· Requesting flowers · ··
An ordinary Grandmaster, I dare not say more, can certainly fight ten Grandmasters.
But now, just four people from the Divine Marquis's Mansion can defeat half of the Grandmasters on the list. That's too amazing!
However, before everyone could calm down, Li Chengqian spoke again.
"Mr. Zhuge, I haven't said anything wrong, have I?"
"Mr. Li's insightful calculations are truly astounding; I admire Zhuge Zhengwo!"
Everyone turned to look at the building with the yellow lettering, and saw a man with a braid on his chin emerge from room 85210.
This person was none other than Zhuge Zhengwo from the Divine Marquis's Mansion.
"Is he Zhuge Zhengwo from the Divine Marquis's Mansion?"
"With such capable men under him, he can do whatever he wants."
"Pooh!"
"Can't you use your brain for a second? Didn't you even consider his actual abilities?"
"His subordinates are all so capable, what level of strength do you think he possesses?"
"That's true. If you're not strong enough, you probably won't be able to win people's respect."
"I estimate that he should be second on the Grandmaster list."
Ignoring the murmurs below, Zhuge Zhengwo bowed and said...
"I have been here for many days but have not been able to visit Mr. Li. Please forgive me."
"Hehehe!"
Li Chengqian smiled and waved his hand.
"What are you saying, Mr. Zhuge? I'm the one who should apologize."
“Aside from cultivators, your strength ranks first among the top three in the Song Dynasty.”
"Originally, the title of the number one Jianghu in the Song Dynasty should have belonged to you, but considering that Mr. Zhuge is not a pure Jianghu person."
"That's why Li gave away the reputation that originally belonged to you to someone else."
"But don't worry, Mr. Zhuge, when I give my review of the Great Song Dynasty's King Wu, I will definitely introduce you properly."
After he finished speaking, everyone was dumbfounded.
The bitter smile on Zhuge Zhengwo's face deepened.
Mr. Li was indeed angry about this.
