Bad people: who is not a descendant of Li Tang

Chapter 16 Longquan
The empress's leather-covered hand froze slightly, then she put down the wine glass with a smile.

"Well, I will have a frank talk with Your Highness. If Your Highness can tell me the reason, I will hand over the Longquan Sword to Your Highness."

Let’s be honest, this is not good…

Looking at the main hall where they were alone, Li Jing thought secretly.

The empress stood up, walked to the center of the hall with her hands behind her hands, and looked straight at Li Jing with her beautiful eyes.

"How did you know that I was not your brother? How did you learn about my brother?"

"If Your Highness can tell the truth, I will..."

"Miao territory, twelve caves."

Li Jing put down the wine glass and lightly interrupted the empress' words.

The empress was startled, and then her beautiful eyes widened. She was obviously a little angry because her words were interrupted by Li Jing.

Li Jing gently placed her hands on the table and looked directly at the empress.

"Li Maozhen believed Yuan Tiangang's words and ran away from the Qi Kingdom for 15 years. It would be for you to rule the Qi Kingdom for 15 years as a daughter, probably because of the secret in the Longquan Sword."

Having said this, Li Jing simply stopped eating and stood up to face the empress.

"Yuan Tiangang coaxed him to go to Twelve Cave to learn about the Longquan treasure, but Twelve Cave is just a rumor after all..."

"You also know that Twelve Cave is just a rumor, and it has been 15 years since my brother left. How did you get the news about him!"

The empress spoke coldly, clenching the fingers of both hands hidden behind her, staring at Li Jing with burning eyes.

Li Jing was pacing with his hands behind his hands. Although he hadn't figured out how to make up this reason yet, he still stopped and looked at the empress without blinking.

"Have you ever heard of divination?"

Without giving the empress time to react, Li Jing walked around the table in front of her and began to pace left and right, tapping her fingers in the air.

"One line and one account determine good and bad, and life is impermanent. Although blessings, misfortunes, sorrows and joys can be measured, temperament is not grouped, and the hexagrams are always empty."

After a pause and forgetting what to say next, Li Jing turned around with an inscrutable look on his face: "Based on the hexagram technique I learned from Yuan Tiangang, I can predict that Li Maozhen has indeed found the Twelve Cave..."

The expression on the empress's face turned from white to black: "Does your Highness think that I am a fool?"

Didn't get it?
Li Jing shrugged and approached the empress.

"Whether you believe it or not, my news is absolutely true. It is true that Li Maozhen is in Twelve Cave now, and with my ability, I can find the location of Twelve Cave with a little effort..."

"Anyway, he will return to the Central Plains soon."

Her fists were clenched, and the empress's plain face was tense.

"Is this true?"

Li Jing raised her head and thought seriously, then nodded solemnly.

"Absolutely!"

The empress, dressed in men's clothing, nodded upon hearing this and walked up to the head of the palace.Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and watched her figure slowly climb up the steps step by step.

What does she want to do?

Li Jing looked behind the table on the steps and saw a bright long sword hanging on the wall.

This woman doesn’t believe me?

Li Jing stood there with her hands behind her back, looking coldly at the empress on the stage: "Since the empress doesn't believe me, why bother asking?"

The empress unsheathed her sword, her phoenix eyes slightly cold, and she stood on the high steps and pointed the sword at Li Jing from a distance.

"It's not because I don't believe in Your Highness. Your Highness has teased me several times. Do you really think that I am made of clay?"

Hearing the empress' cold and stern voice incessantly turning around in the empty hall, Li Jing frowned slightly.

"How can you tell that I'm lying to you? What Li said is true!"

Li Jing's voice was not loud, but in this hall, it was very low.

The empress was stunned, then slowly exhaled, put down the long sword, and a smile appeared on her face: "Brother Wang has not been heard from for 15 years. I am very worried. I just had many misunderstandings about His Highness. Please forgive me for any offence. "

Li Jing turned around and sat back at the table, raising her hand to pour herself a glass of wine.

"It's okay. If you don't believe it, I'll just take you to find Li Maozhen, so what's the harm?"

The empress obviously didn't take it to heart, and walked down the steps with her sword in hand: "Your Highness, you think this palace is very busy?"

Li Jing frowned and threw the wine glass on the table.

"That's it for now. We have nothing more to talk about. Let's take our leave."

Li Jing stood up and saw a cold light in front of him, and the empress looked straight at him with slightly narrowed phoenix eyes.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Your Highness? It's rare to have such a good opportunity, why don't we drink for a while?" Li Jing gently clamped the long sword with two fingers and frowned slightly.

"No need, I'll just make it clear."

Li Jing raised her head and looked directly at the empress.

"Isn't Li Maozhen leaving Qi Country to go to Twelve Caves for the secret of Longquan Sword?"

The empress' face was pale, but her eyes were already shining with light.

"And I know where this Longquan treasure is..."

The empress raised her long eyebrows: "Your Highness, don't make fun of me. There are countless people in the world who are looking for Longquan but cannot find it. You are a weakling at this age."

Li Jing pushed the long sword away, crossed her arms and stared coldly.

"You bitch, I've tolerated you for a long time, can you please hear me out first! Don't think that because you are a woman, I should let you go!"

The voice echoed continuously in the palace and fell into the ears of the stunned empress.

"I'm too lazy to argue with you. Yuan Tiangang coaxed Li Maozhen to look for Twelve Cave in order to let him unlock a treasure box about the secret of Longquan Sword..."

"And this is just the beginning. After the treasure box is unlocked, he still needs to find a little kid, because only he knows where the treasure is. At that time, the competition between the various forces will begin. You Even if we find this Qi country, can we still defend it?"

After Li Jing said calmly, he was ready to leave the hall.

"Whether you believe it or not depends on what you think. If Li hadn't seen that you look pretty good, I wouldn't be able to beat you for the time being, so I wouldn't bother to tell you."

But a strange smile flashed across the empress' face.

"So, this little brat is His Highness?"

Just as he was thinking about something, he flicked his clothes, Li Jing, who had hidden his merits and fame, suddenly froze his head, pinched his fingers, and took two steps forward to get close to the empress.

"Not everyone is interested in the Longquan Treasure. Your brother left Qi Country to go to Twelve Cave. I don't care if it's for Qi Country, himself or the world."

"Staying alone has always been the rule I follow. I can even tell you where this treasure is now."

"But you and your Qi country..."

Li Jing looked at the empress with tight lips and lowered her voice.

"I definitely can't hold it."

The breaths of the two people seemed to be entangled together. The empress stared at the distance between the two people that suddenly became infinitely close, and she was suddenly stunned.

The white skin in front of her eyes was slightly reddish, and the phoenix eyes on her oval face were slightly narrowed. Although she was dressed as a man, she still had a familiar light fragrance.

Li Jing raised the corners of her mouth and pinched the empress's pure and beautiful face with her hands.

"goodbye!"

The air suddenly froze, leaving only the woman in front of him with his eyes widening in disbelief and Li Jing's nerves suddenly stiffened.

Eh?Why did you get started?

Li Jing was slapped hard on the left side of her face. She covered her face and staggered back two steps.

What happened? Is this face so attractive? I feel dizzy.

The empress' face was expressionless, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"I haven't seen that Your Highness is a prostitute yet."

Rubbing her face, which was slightly swollen, Li Jing took a step back, glanced at the empress's face, and took two cautious steps back.

"I'm too drunk today. I've disturbed King Qi. I'm going to resign and leave..."

A sarcastic sneer appeared on the empress's face, but Li Jing no longer cared about it. She only felt her face burning and stepped back toward the door.

I don’t know if this woman will commit murder, but it’s better to escape first.

Li Jing closed the door as if to escape. Li Jing didn't dare to look at what the empress inside was doing. She raised her right hand and spat in a low voice.

"How can I be drunk without having two drinks?"

……

Hearing the sound of footsteps leaving in a panic outside, the empress sat back down at her square table, raised the wine she had not drank just now, and saw a pair of phoenix eyes reflected in the wine glass.

I poured the drink on the ground irritably, and suddenly I remembered the last few words Li Jing said just now, and I didn't catch what they were.

Feeling a little hot on her face, the empress put the sword on the table again. After thinking for a long time, she breathed out slightly.

"Twelve Cave"
