After my inner voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 24

"Ding!" A crisp system prompt sounded in Li Qingge's mind, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, bringing ripples. The system spoke, saying that because she generously donated grain, did not seek fame and fortune, and lived a leisurely and contented life, she was awarded a prize. This reward was like a sweet rain from heaven, which instantly brightened Li Qingge's mood.

"Ding!" The system sent another message, saying that she had won a "Green Field", which allowed her to manage the land, monitor the harvest, and earn contribution points. This news was like a spring breeze, making a gorgeous flower bloom on Li Qingge's face. Her eyes lit up, and her heart was like a mirror, and she instantly understood the importance of this reward.

This felt like the farming game I played before, but the game was fake, and this time it was a real fight. Li Qingge raised a playful smile and muttered to herself, "Is there a reward for farming? What's so new about contribution points?" She frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and as soon as she thought about it, the interface of "Green Field" emerged in her mind.

The interface was blue and full of technology, like a deep ocean or an endless starry sky. It showed a view of a thousand acres of fertile fields, with green rice fields swaying in the breeze, and she could almost smell the fresh fragrance of rice. She could also adjust the viewing angle at will, as if she were in the field of harvest. There was a small warehouse next to it, and she curiously opened it to take a look.

"Empty? Oh, I see. This is where food is stored. There's no food now, but it can hold a lot of grains, vegetables and fruits." Li Qingge pondered in her mind, looking carefully at this virtual warehouse. Her eyes sparkled with excitement, as if she saw a future full of infinite possibilities.

"If I could farm on the interface, wouldn't I be able to sow and harvest while lying down? With the help of divine soil, fairy water, and divine cows, I could easily become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. It's so beautiful to think about it!" When Li Qingge thought of this, her heart was beating like a little rabbit. Her face was filled with longing and expectation, as if she had seen the day when she would become the richest man.

But after thinking about it carefully, she smiled bitterly again. This interface can only be used to view the land and warehouse, but not to plant the land. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but she became firm again. "It's better to have something than nothing." This was the only way she could comfort herself in the end. Although it did not meet expectations, it was still a big gain.

She studied the interface again and suddenly found a small button in the corner. The button was hidden very deeply, like a mysterious switch. She was curious and wanted to explore: "Hidden? What does that mean? If the interface can be hidden, what is the use of this button? Is there another way?"

Li Qingge's mind moved, and she tried to use her mind to click on the hidden button. However, the result made her a little disappointed, there was no response. She frowned slightly, and her heart was full of doubts: "Strange, is there a secret here that I haven't discovered, and this button is the switch?" She looked at the interface carefully again, but still found no clues. "It doesn't seem like it. The interface is so simple, how can there be any secrets? It doesn't have as many functions as the mobile phone I used to play with." She muttered to herself, closed the interface, and planned to study it later.

However, when she turned around, her face changed drastically and she froze. What she saw was no longer the fertile field, but a barren land, overgrown with weeds and lifeless. Panic and anger surged in her heart: "Where is my field? How did it become a wasteland? Isn't it a one-time solution? This 'green field' is too unreliable! System, give me back my fertile field!" She was so anxious that she jumped up and down, like a child who had lost her favorite toy.

To be honest, this system is usually quite reliable, but it breaks down at the critical moment. It's not easy to get a piece of land, how come it's gone? If the land is gone, what's the use of this field? Her heart was filled with disappointment and dissatisfaction.

"Ding! The system reminds the host, please carefully study the usage of the 'Green Field'." The system's words sounded again, but with a hint of disdain. This made Li Qingge even more dissatisfied: "What does it mean? This system disdains me?" She was confused, scratched her head, and called up the interface again.

She stared at the hidden button, as if she wanted to see through its secret. "Could it be that the display and hiding of the fields is related to this button?" She thought to herself and tried to click the button again. This time, the button turned gray, and at the same time a white light flashed, and the wasteland turned into a fertile field again.

"Huh..." Li Qingge let out a long sigh, her face full of smiles. Her heart was filled with joy and relief: "I understand, the fields can't be displayed all the time, otherwise there will always be people who want to steal the food. Once discovered, I will become the 'God of Agriculture'. Although the reputation is good, it also brings a lot of trouble. The system is really considerate and gave me a hidden button." She laughed, put her hands behind her back, and looked at the fertile fields with joy.

She originally wanted to wait until the hype died down before planting, but now that so much food had suddenly appeared in the fields, it would definitely arouse the curiosity of officials and common people in Chang'an City, and they would all come to join in the fun. The fields could no longer be hidden, and fame would follow. The leisurely and comfortable days of quietly making a fortune that she had imagined before would all be ruined. However, now that she has the "Green Field" and the hide button, she can make the fields appear when she is planting, and hide them at other times so that no one can find them.

"Okay! Keep planting!" Li Qingge was very excited and happily started a new round of farming. She seemed to see a future full of hope and opportunities. In this "green field", she would use her wisdom and hard work to create an agricultural kingdom of her own. Her heart was full of expectations and longings, as if she had seen herself standing on that fruitful field, smiling and welcoming the arrival of every dawn.

Changan Storm: Qian Toyota's "miracle" and Li Qingge's wisdom
Now, Chang'an was bustling with activity, like a boiling pot. In the streets, teahouses, and even in the palace, people were discussing one topic: Qian Fengtian, the great hero who donated grain.

Qian Fengtian, a slightly fat businessman with a kind face, suddenly became a hot topic after dinner. He wore a gorgeous brocade robe with golden patterns embroidered on it, which shone brightly in the sun. He always had a warm smile on his face, like the warm sun in spring, which made people feel warm. Everyone gave him a thumbs up and was reluctant to put it down for a long time, praising him and saying, "Mr. Qian is a good man, his reputation is really not over-deserved. I am afraid that he will empty his family's savings to donate grain this time."

"In order to save the common people of Jiangnan, he was willing to throw away even his wealth like a worn-out shoe. He is not a good person at all, he is simply the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva!" An old man said with emotion, tears glistening in his eyes, as if he was moved by Qian Toyota's good deeds.

"That's right! From ancient times to the present, he is the best person. Some people used to say that he was stingy and would shortchange people when selling things. Now it seems that's all nonsense." A young man echoed, his face full of admiration and respect.

"It doesn't matter if you worry about small things. A person's mind can be seen at critical moments. Mr. Qian Dashan's mind is so broad that no one can compare to him." A man who looked like a scholar exclaimed, his eyes full of respect and admiration.

……

In just a short while, Qian Fengtian's name spread all over Chang'an City. People talked about his good deeds as if he was a legendary figure, a living Bodhisattva.

In the palace hall, all the civil and military officials stared with wide eyes, their faces full of surprise. They looked at Qian Fengtian's name shining on the memorial, as if they had seen a miracle. Aren't businessmen all profit-seeking? Why would he donate his property to help Jiangnan this time? This was too bizarre, but seeing it with my own eyes, I had to believe it.

Some people speculated: "Did Li Qingge move him emotionally and convince him with reason?" An official asked doubtfully, frowning as if he was thinking about a difficult problem. But on second thought, it seemed illogical. Qian Toyota was an old fox in the business world, how could he be fooled by a young man?

The only reasonable explanation is that Qian Toyota had been planning to donate money, but it just happened to run into Li Qingge's plan. A civil official said slowly, his face full of wisdom and insight.

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that the mission was accomplished and they all breathed a sigh of relief. However, they still felt that Li Qingge's contribution was a bit lucky and they didn't see his true ability and thought he was just a freeloader. They talked about it one after another, as if Li Qingge was just a lucky guy who happened to have this good thing.

Emperor Li Shimin was also puzzled. He sat on the dragon throne with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about a difficult problem. "Cheng Aiqing, how did you convince Qian Fengtian to donate grain? There must be something fishy here!" He looked at Cheng Yaojin in confusion, as if he was looking for an answer.

"Oh, Your Majesty, you don't think that this grain was not donated by Qian Toyota?" Cheng Yaojin responded with a smile, his face full of confidence and pride.

Li Shimin was even more puzzled. He frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he laughed: "Haha, I understand! Mr. Qian is just a cover. The grain must come from thousands of acres of fertile fields!" He seemed to have discovered a secret, and his eyes flashed with wisdom.

"A thousand acres of good farmland? How could that produce so much grain?" Li Shimin himself was shocked. He had led troops to fight in wars before, and later when he became emperor, he paid special attention to agriculture, so he had some understanding of grain production. For ordinary wheat, even in a bumper year, it would be very good to yield a thousand kilograms per acre. But if all the grain transported now came from the thousand acres of land, how high would the yield per acre be? It was simply unimaginable.

Fang Xuanling stood up and spoke with a serious face, as if he was defending Qian Fengtian's good deeds: "Your Majesty, Qian Fengtian is a man who is eager to help others. He donated all the money he earned from years of business this time. What a great kindness! He should be rewarded greatly." As he spoke, he bowed excitedly.

Li Shimin nodded, his face full of praise and recognition: "Reward! Give him a gold medal for benevolence and exempt his taxes. However, Jiangnan is short of money and food now, so give him a bronze medal instead, and reduce the tax by half. Mr. Qian should understand my painstaking efforts." But Li Shimin knew clearly that this was all Li Qingge's credit. He didn't understand the term "tool man" before, but now he understands it.

"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials echoed, their faces full of admiration and respect.

"Qian Toyota must be very excited to receive such an honor." An official said with emotion, tears glistening in his eyes, as if he was moved by Qian Toyota's good deeds.

"Your Majesty, you should personally write a plaque with the words 'Benevolence' and give it to him, so as to encourage all merchants in the world to learn from him." Another official suggested, his face full of expectation and desire.

All the officials requested to reward Qian Toyota handsomely, and their voices echoed in the hall like a song of praise.

Although Li Shimin was a little reluctant, he still nodded and agreed. He knew in his heart that this was all to cooperate with Li Qingge's plan, otherwise he would not bother to care about this "profiteer". It's okay to give it to him as a bronze plaque. He thought so in his heart, but there was a warm smile on his face, as if he was awarding a hero.

As they were talking, Li Qingge came in from outside. She had finished planting the land and came to the main hall to pay her respects to Li Shimin. She was wearing a light green dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like a fairy walking on water. Her eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if she could see through all the mysteries of the world. She had a faint smile on her face, neither too enthusiastic nor indifferent.

"My dear Cheng, you have completed the mission very well this time. What reward do you want?" Li Shimin looked at Li Qingge with admiration in his eyes, praising her in his heart as a pillar of the Tang Dynasty.

"I am just following your Majesty's orders, and I dare not ask for a reward." Li Qingge smiled and refused, but she was grumbling in her heart. She thought: "Reward? Another reward? Li Shimin, do you have other ideas about me? I have been so low-key in my work, but you keep rewarding me. Is it possible that your family's rewards are wholesale?"

Then, she changed her mind and said, "Besides, what reward can you give me? Can it be comparable to the Qingcong field in the system? That's what I really want." Although she thought so in her heart, she was still respectful on the surface. After all, Li Shimin was the emperor, and she had to give him face. There was a cunning light in her eyes, as if she was thinking about how to better complete her task.

"Don't you want to accept the reward? This kid has already got what he wants." Li Shimin's eyes were deep, as if he could see through people's hearts. He looked at the vast thousand acres of fertile land in front of him, and a trace of curiosity and admiration flashed in his eyes. The field was green and lush, and the rice swayed in the wind, like a golden ocean, foreshadowing the joy of a good harvest. He thought to himself: "When I have time, I will go and find out in person what is different about this field..." Although there was no ripple on his face, he was already thinking about the good time to visit this field.

The officials standing by frowned, their faces full of displeasure. They muttered in their hearts: The Qian family has made such a great contribution, but in the end they are only given a bronze plaque, and it takes His Majesty's approval to count. And Li Qingge, a young man who has just started out, has been so appreciated by His Majesty as soon as he arrived. Before he has even finished speaking, His Majesty is going to give him a reward? This is too partial! They were filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy, and their jealousy towards Li Qingge was beyond words.

Everyone was wondering in their hearts, and they were more convinced that there must be an unusual relationship between Li Qingge and Li Shimin. If they were not illegitimate children, there must be a more subtle connection, which was simply shocking. They speculated one after another, but did not dare to express their thoughts easily, after all, the majesty of the emperor could not be violated.

"Lord Cheng, you must accept this reward." Li Shimin smiled, but his tone was unquestionable. He looked at Li Qingge, his eyes gleaming with expectation, "We in the Tang Dynasty clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. You have saved the people from danger. This reward is what you deserve. You cannot refuse it." He insisted again, his tone revealing a majesty that could not be refused.

"I work for the Tang Dynasty, not for rewards!" Li Qingge shook her head again and refused. She was wearing an elegant blue shirt, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her brows revealed a heroic spirit. She knew that her efforts were not for rewards, but out of her inner responsibility and commitment.

"You must be rewarded." Li Shimin was firm. He knew Li Qingge's talent and potential very well and didn't want her to miss out on the honor she deserved because of her modesty. "You have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. You deserve this reward."

"In that case, then thank you for your grace, Your Majesty." Li Qingge frowned slightly, not understanding Li Shimin's intention, but still agreed. She thought to herself: [Why is His Majesty so persistent in rewarding me? Could it be that he really sees that I am different? ]

The officials were shocked again. This reward was already surprising enough, but they didn't expect that it would be forcibly given to Li Qingge. It was unprecedented. They were confused, and although they complained in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it out loud. For a moment, all eyes were focused on Li Qingge, full of envy, jealousy and confusion.

"He has hardly made any contribution, how can he have the nerve to accept the reward?" an official muttered in a low voice, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Even if His Majesty insists on giving it, if he is smart, he should refuse it." Another official echoed, shaking his head and sighing.

"Mr. Cheng is a famous man throughout his life, how could he have such a son..." An old minister shook his head and sighed, expressing his confusion and disappointment at Li Qingge's behavior.

However, Li Qingge didn't care about these discussions and doubts. She raised her lips slightly and rolled her eyes, secretly feeling proud: [You people are just jealous and envious, thinking that it's unfair for me to receive rewards without any merit. But I am so confident that I not only want this reward, but also want it with peace of mind.] She enjoyed the unhappy and helpless expressions of others, and her heart was full of confidence and pride.

"My dear Cheng, this is the jade pendant I have worn for many years. It is of great significance. I will give it to you today." Li Shimin smiled and took off the jade pendant from his waist. After carefully examining it, he handed it to the eunuch. This jade pendant was given to his sons by the late emperor. The one Li Shimin got was particularly precious. It witnessed Li Shimin's great military exploits and the late emperor's praise. It was a symbol of power and a sign of glory.

The eunuch was so surprised that he dared not take it, and the officials held their breath, their faces solemn. They knew the importance of this jade pendant and the deep meaning of Li Shimin's action.

The weight of the jade pendant was like a mountain pressing down on one's head. Li Shimin gave it to Li Qingge so easily, which showed that his intentions were deeper, even more than those of the crown prince and other princes. All the officials were shocked and confused. They speculated on Li Shimin's intentions, but no one dared to express their thoughts easily.

"Without you, how could the Tang Dynasty be so prosperous today? You deserve it." Li Shimin felt mixed emotions. He secretly compared the gap between his sons and Li Qingge. He knew that Li Qingge's talent and potential far exceeded his sons, and he couldn't help but feel regretful. If Qingge was my son, I would be willing to die. What a pity! He sighed in his heart, and his appreciation for Li Qingge was beyond words.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qingge was stunned for a moment, then took the jade pendant with both hands, feeling it was heavy. She was inexplicably moved and excited: [This jade pendant is of great significance to him, why did he give it to me so easily? I have been low-key enough, why is it still like this? ] She secretly guessed Li Shimin's intention, and her heart was full of doubts and curiosity.

[Is it because I am too handsome and gave away the secret?] She thought jokingly, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips. However, she quickly put away her smile and thought seriously: [He is such a wise monarch who can see that I am not an ordinary person. Wonderful!] She was filled with emotion and finally understood why Li Shimin could be the best in the world. Although she didn't know what her ability was yet, there seemed to be a destiny guiding her. The fate of the Tang Dynasty might change because of her. She is the legendary child of destiny, shouldering the responsibility of changing history. "Let's adjourn the court. I want to take a rest." Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand to signal the adjournment of the court, then walked towards the inner hall alone, "Wei Qing, stay." His voice revealed a kind of fatigue and helplessness, but more of it was the expectation and longing for the future.

"As you command." Wei Zheng responded. He looked at Li Shimin's back, his heart full of doubts and confusion. He didn't know why His Majesty was so tired after leaving the court but still wanted to go to the farmland with great enthusiasm? Besides, it was not the harvest season, and Chang'an was in good weather, so what was there to see? But he still followed Li Shimin obediently, ready to go to the fields together.

After the inner hall, Li Shimin changed into casual clothes and went to the fields with Wei Zheng. He had already guessed Li Qingge's secret in his heart - the thousand acres of fertile land was the source of her increased grain production. Perhaps there, he could find more secrets about increasing production, and also get to know Li Qingge, this mysterious and interesting woman, more deeply. He looked forward to meeting Li Qingge again, and looking forward to the legendary son of destiny to bring him more surprises and miracles.

The mystery of the thousand acres of fertile land
The doubts in his heart weighed on him like a huge rock. Wei Zheng hurried home and changed into casual clothes, a dark blue cloth suit, simple and plain, totally different from his usual majestic image in the court. He straightened his clothes and stood at the palace gate waiting for Li Shimin, his eyes revealing an indescribable anxiety and expectation.

Not long after, Li Shimin also came out quietly, with only two guards, without gorgeous ceremonial guards, without complicated etiquette, and went straight to the legendary thousand acres of fertile land. He was wearing a simple yellow casual clothes, the hem of the clothes swaying gently in the wind, looking particularly free and easy.

"If I'm not mistaken, that place must be like a fairyland to grow so much food." Li Shimin walked and laughed, feeling anxious. After all, he was the one who gave the land, and he knew the location very well. His eyes were full of curiosity and expectation, like an explorer who was about to uncover the mystery.

Once out of the city, the road became more and more desolate. Li Shimin frowned and turned to ask Wei Zheng, his eyes full of surprise and confusion, as if he didn't believe his eyes.

"I remember there used to be large tracts of good farmland here. How come it has become like this?" There was a hint of confusion and regret in his voice.

"Your Majesty may have forgotten... this used to be the eldest son's fiefdom..." Wei Zheng reminded carefully, his voice low and cautious, as if he was afraid of touching the pain in Li Shimin's heart.

Li Shimin nodded, his expression a little dazed, as if he was brought back to the dusty past. Back then, this was a fertile land, and the scene of a good harvest was still vivid in his mind. But after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Jiancheng's name became a taboo, and this place was slowly forgotten and turned into the wasteland it is today. A trace of pain and helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Li Shimin sighed, quickened his pace, and climbed over a small dirt slope. His face became more solemn, as if he had a premonition of something. He thought that the scene ahead should be the harvest scene in the past. Although he was surprised, he was also prepared.

However, when he saw the scene in front of him, he was stunned. His eyes widened. He saw a barren land with weeds growing everywhere, the stream dried up, and birds and animals running around. Where was the shadow of good farmland? His face was full of confusion and puzzlement.

"What's going on?" Li Shimin was extremely confused and at a loss. There was a hint of astonishment and loss in his voice, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

Wei Zheng was also confused. He looked around, trying to find some clues to explain this strange phenomenon. "Your Majesty, what are you looking for here?" he asked doubtfully.

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "Just walk around." But he still looked around, trying to find some clues. His heart was full of doubts and curiosity, as if an unsolvable mystery was lingering in his mind.

Suddenly, he was attracted by something. He walked over, bent down, and picked up a grain of wheat from the ground. The grain of wheat was full and shiny, as if it had just been harvested.

"New wheat? Isn't it still not ripe? How come it's harvested?" Li Shimin asked in surprise. There was a hint of confusion and curiosity in his voice, as if he had discovered an incredible secret.

Wei Zheng was also surprised to pick up a grain and smell it. The wheat aroma was so fragrant that it was indeed new wheat. The two looked at each other, too surprised to speak. Their faces were full of confusion and puzzlement, as if they were shocked by this strange phenomenon.

"Maybe the soil is too wet, so the wheat grains look like new. But how can there be real new wheat at this time?" Li Shimin smiled and shook his head, but was secretly amazed in his heart. His eyes were shining with curiosity and inquiry, like a detective who was about to uncover the truth.

From the grains of wheat, Li Shimin guessed that his guess was correct. Li Qingge must have had a harvest in the past few days. But where are the thousand acres of fertile land? The secret is really confusing. His heart is full of doubts and curiosity, as if an unsolvable mystery is lingering in his heart.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he could only smile bitterly and shook his head. He thought: Forget it, why bother to get to the bottom of it? As long as the wheat can be used for disaster relief, it means that Li Qingge still has the Tang Dynasty in his heart. That's enough. A relieved smile appeared on his face, as if he had put down the burden in his heart.

"Let's go back." Li Shimin walked more briskly after letting go of his worries. He walked forward with his hands behind his back, like a traveler who was about to return home.

Wei Zheng was still a little confused, but he still picked up a few grains of wheat and planned to go back and study them carefully. His eyes were shining with curiosity and exploration, like a scientist who was about to uncover the truth.

At this time, Li Qingge in Cheng's house was silently turning off the panel with a wry smile on her face. She was wearing a light green dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind like a fairy walking on water. Her eyes were shining with wisdom and cunning, as if she could see through all the mysteries of the world.

"Thank you, System, for saving my life." Li Qingge silently thanked in her heart. There was a hint of relief and gratitude in her voice, as if she was a lucky person who had just escaped a disaster.

"Without you, my field would be exposed." She continued with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in her voice.

"Now that we have advanced farming methods, how can a thousand acres of land be enough? I want to borrow the old cows from the Heavenly Palace to reclaim the wasteland. What do you think?" Li Qingge began to think about how to expand the scale of planting. Her eyes were shining with anticipation and excitement, like an explorer who was about to start a new plan.

However, the system gave a warning: "Ding! System warning: The land in this world belongs to the Tang Dynasty. The host is not allowed to cultivate it privately. Violators will be punished by heaven and the system will be shut down."

Hearing this, Li Qingge's face twitched and she suddenly realized. It turned out that if you want to increase the land, you can't just cultivate it privately. You need Li Shimin's approval. A trace of regret and helplessness flashed in her eyes, like a dreamer defeated by reality.

"If I had known this, why would I have bothered to get the jade pendant? Wouldn't it be enough to just ask Li Shimin for the wasteland? He would definitely be happy to give it to me." Li Qingge muttered to herself. Her voice was filled with a hint of regret and self-mockery, like a fool who had just understood the truth.

"I can only wait for the right time." Li Qingge sighed and closed her eyes to take a rest. Her eyes were shining with fatigue and expectation, like a wise man who was about to welcome a new opportunity.

Suddenly, there was a "pop" sound from the roof, which startled Li Qingge. She suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the roof, and new doubts arose in her heart. Her eyes flashed with vigilance and curiosity, like a warrior who was about to face a new challenge.

"Who is on the roof?" Li Qingge asked secretly in her heart. There was a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her voice, like a detective who was about to uncover the secret on the roof.

When Qingge heard about the change, her face darkened instantly, and her heart was in turmoil. She looked up at the roof of the Tang Dynasty. It was so high that it seemed to be able to pass through the layers of guards. Anyone who could climb to such a high place was definitely not an ordinary person. He was most likely an assassin. She muttered to herself, she didn't have any deep hatred with anyone, so how could such a disaster happen to her? Could it be that the trouble that her father had caused in the past has come back to haunt her?
[Oh, this is really a big trouble! I was thinking about learning a few axe techniques from my dad, but before I even started, I ran into such a master.] Qingge secretly complained in his heart, frowning, with a look of helplessness and anxiety in his eyes.

[How to deal with it? They were able to quietly avoid the guards, so they are obviously not easy to deal with, and they are not afraid of the guards. This situation is very critical.] She thought in her mind and searched around the room, hoping to find something useful to deal with this sudden crisis.

[If I shout for help...] Thinking of this, Qingge immediately killed the idea. She knew that these assassins were all top masters. If she shouted for help, they would definitely rush down immediately and put their knives on her neck, and her life would be gone. Although the guards were nearby, they were not as fast as these assassins. In the blink of an eye, the masters could chop down several of them. What's more, she was alone, how could she stop them?

Qingge was extremely anxious. Although she was a descendant of a military commander and had some basic skills, she was still far from being able to deal with such a master. She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Why didn't she practice martial arts more diligently? Now she was facing such a crisis and was helpless.

"System, oh system, you have to help me! If you don't help, I'll lose my life! How can I play this game if I die?" Qingge called out to the system in her heart, hoping that it could give her some help.

"It's time to show your true ability!" Qingge took a deep breath and suddenly remembered her savior - the system. She silently recited the name of the system in her heart, hoping that it would bring her some turnaround.

"Ding! System reminder: According to the rules, you have to accomplish great things first and demonstrate the state of inaction before you can unlock the reward of lying down and doing nothing. Now you are in trouble, you have to solve it by yourself." The voice of the system sounded in Qingge's mind, with a bit of indifference and ruthlessness.

Qingge was stunned when she heard this. She couldn't help but curse the system in her heart for being too ruthless and standing idly by at the critical moment.

[System, you are so unkind. You have been with me for so many years in vain? How can you stand by and watch at the critical moment? Hurry up and give me a treasure to help me out of this predicament. Can I just treat it as an advance reward?] Qingge muttered in her heart, feeling very dissatisfied with the indifference of the system.

At this time, footsteps were heard on the roof, getting closer and closer to the bedroom, and danger was lurking everywhere. Qingge's heartbeat accelerated, and she knew she had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

"Ding! The system emphasizes again: there is no rule of advance payment. You have to quickly activate the reward mechanism, or find a way to solve it yourself." The system's voice sounded again, with a bit of unquestionable determination.

Qingge was helpless. This system failed at a critical moment. It was really not a good partner. She secretly complained in her heart, but she also knew that this was not the time to complain. She had to calm down and find a way to deal with the crisis in front of her.

Qingge's mind worked quickly, and she suddenly remembered the props she had hidden. She walked to the corner of the room and opened a secret box, which contained various rare treasures she had collected. She searched the box, hoping to find a treasure that could help her escape.

Qiong Yao sweet rain? One drop of that stuff can make a river, and two drops can make a downpour, but it is useless now. Heavenly Palace soil? That is for farming, even more useless. Qingge muttered to himself while searching.

Just as she was thinking about it, Qingge's eyes lit up and she thought of the Tiangong Old Cow. Although it was used for farming, it was rare in the world and it would definitely scare away the assassin if she took it out. She was delighted and quickly took the Tiangong Old Cow out of the box and placed it in her palm.

Qingge calmly walked to the door, took the Qiongyao Ganlin, dripped two drops on her fingers, and flicked them gently. With a flash of light, the Tiangong Old Bull disappeared in her palm. She silently chanted a spell in her heart, expecting the Tiangong Old Bull to exert its power.

Soon, thunder roared, dark clouds gathered, the stars and the moon were invisible, and a heavy rain was about to come. The three assassins on the roof saw this sky phenomenon and their faces changed. They looked at each other, their eyes revealing a bit of panic and anxiety.

"What happened? Did the situation suddenly change?" One of the assassins whispered, with a trembling voice.

"There was no sign of rain before, so how come the clouds suddenly gathered? It's so weird." Another assassin echoed, his eyes searching around, as if looking for the source of this sudden weather change.

"It's freezing cold, something doesn't feel right, we have to retreat quickly." The bald assassin said grimly, but his eyes also revealed a bit of uneasiness and panic. He knew that this weather change was definitely not a natural phenomenon, and someone must be playing tricks on him.

"Don't worry about anything else, just complete the task first! Take his head!" The bald assassin gritted his teeth and drew his knife to pry the tiles. He knew he couldn't delay any longer, otherwise it would be even harder for them to do it when the weather changed.

At this moment, a thunderclap sounded, and the bald assassin's hand trembled, and the knife fell on the tile and slid down. The thunder was very strange, and the three of them were startled. When they looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were as black as ink, rolling constantly, as if something was about to rush out. They all had an ominous premonition in their hearts, as if something terrible was about to happen.

"Could this kid be destined to be like this? As soon as we started, the sky changed, and there is something hidden in the clouds." One of the assassins said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear and anxiety.

"Nonsense! How could there be something in the clouds?" Although the bald assassin said this, he began to feel a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't know if he and his men could still complete the mission successfully. This weather change made them feel unprecedented pressure and threat.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and get started! Take the head and leave! The guards here are nothing to be afraid of, no one can stop us." Although the bald assassin felt timid, he still urged his men to act. He knew that at this moment, they had no way out.
