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

Chapter 25

The night was as dark as ink, with dark clouds overhead. A sudden incident broke the tranquility of the Cheng Mansion. Li Qingge, the female general of the Cheng Mansion, was alone in her bedroom. She was tall and straight, with a heroic look between her eyebrows, which was completely different from ordinary women. At this moment, she was staring at the rolling dark clouds outside the window, thinking secretly in her heart.

Suddenly, someone inadvertently looked up at the sky and shouted loudly, "Ouch!" He was so scared that he took three steps back. The dagger in his hand fell on the tiles with a "clang" and slid down the slope, making a harsh sound.

"Second brother! What's wrong with you? Why are you so startled?" The bald man frowned and asked angrily in a low voice. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he exuded an aura that should not be underestimated. He was obviously the leader of this group of assassins.

"I seemed to see something flashing across the sky, with eyes as big as wheels... Could it be a dragon?" After saying this, the man trembled all over, sweat poured down his forehead like rain, and his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. His eyes were filled with fear and uneasiness, as if he had really seen something terrifying.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became weird, making people feel creepy. The other two assassins couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked up at the cloudy sky. Sure enough, they saw a vague shadow tumbling in the clouds, shaped like a dragon, and the majestic momentum made people feel awe.

"What the hell is that?" one of the assassins muttered to himself, his eyes revealing some confusion and uneasiness.

"It seems to be hovering over the Cheng Mansion, heading straight for us." Another assassin added, his voice trembling a little, obviously frightened by this sudden change.

"Could it be that this kid is really destined to succeed, and that there are gods protecting him?" The bald man frowned, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that if they could not complete the mission today, then what awaited them would be endless pursuit and death.

"Hurry up!" The bald man's face changed drastically, and he disappeared into the night like a ghost. In just a few jumps, he had already climbed over several rooftops, his speed was astonishing.

The remaining two assassins looked at each other, and were terrified, not daring to stay any longer. They quickly used their Qinggong to catch up, their figures looming in the night, like two black lightning bolts. Soon, the figures of the three assassins disappeared in the vast night.

Li Qingge, who was hiding in the dark, heard all this and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She walked out of the shadows, put her hands behind her back, and smiled contemptuously, "Huh, is this the so-called top master? Nothing more than that." Her eyes revealed a bit of disdain and ridicule, and she was obviously very disappointed with the performance of these assassins.

"The old bull in the Heavenly Palace is really scary. Even I feel scared when I see it." As she said this, she looked up at the changing wind and clouds in the sky and pointed at the shadow in the cloud. The old bull in the Heavenly Palace turned into a golden light and fell into her palm. Then it shrank into a black shadow more than an inch long and was stored in the storage compartment of the system. Her eyes revealed a bit of pride and joy, and she was obviously very satisfied with this treasure.

Qiong Yao's sweet rain has been used up and cannot be taken back. At this moment, the sky is brewing a heavy rain. After a while, the raindrops as big as beans poured down, as if to submerge the whole world in the rain. Li Qingge stood in the rain, letting the rain wet her clothes and hair, her eyes revealed a bit of firmness and determination. She knew that although this crisis was temporarily resolved, the real battle had just begun.

"General!" Several guards rushed over and knelt in front of Li Qingge. They were also startled by the thunder and dark clouds. When they looked up, they vaguely saw three dark shadows flashing by. They were worried about the general's safety, so they hurried over to check. Seeing that Li Qingge was safe and sound, they were slightly relieved.

"I'm fine. Why would an assassin choose to assassinate me in this weather?" Li Qingge said calmly. Although her voice was calm, her eyes revealed some doubt and uneasiness. She knew that there must be a bigger conspiracy and enemy behind this crisis.

"Then we will take our leave," the guards responded. Although they said so, they were still worried. They knew that although Li Qingge had a reputation as a "waste" outside, he was actually a master who was hiding his true strength. What happened today made them understand this even more clearly.

"Is there really someone who wants to assassinate the general?" a young guard asked worriedly. His eyes revealed some confusion and doubt, and he was obviously shocked by what happened today.

As soon as these words came out, everyone around laughed. They knew that this young guard was still too young to understand the cruelty and complexity of this world.

"What do you know, kid? General Cheng is His Majesty's trusted minister, who dares to touch him easily? Besides, the general has a reputation as a 'waste' outside, what's the benefit of assassinating him?" An experienced guard explained with a smile. His eyes revealed a bit of disdain and ridicule, and it was obvious that he was not impressed by Li Qingge's reputation.

"Yes, assassins all want to be famous. Wouldn't it be a devaluation to assassinate a loser? And people would laugh at you." Another guard echoed. His eyes also revealed a bit of disdain and contempt.

"Don't worry, most of the top figures in the world have been assassinated, and it's not General Li Qingge's turn yet." A guard said jokingly. His words caused a burst of laughter, but Li Qingge just smiled faintly and said nothing. She knew that although these guards looked down on her on the surface, they were actually loyal warriors. They just didn't understand her true strength and identity.

The rain was pouring down, and Li Qingge turned back to her room to rest. At this moment, the system's voice sounded in her mind: "Ding! System warning: The host has driven out three top warriors without using any weapons, relying only on wisdom. Even though he was despised, he was able to keep a low profile and successfully triggered the reward mechanism for doing nothing and lying down."

When Li Qingge heard this, her face immediately darkened. She cursed in her heart: "Why didn't you say anything when I was on the verge of death just now? Now that everything is resolved, you come to take credit?" Although she said so, she was actually very happy in her heart. It would be a waste not to take the prize, not to mention that the things given by the system are definitely not ordinary items, maybe they are some treasures of the Heavenly Palace.

She quickly changed her words and said, "Wait, give it to me first." Her eyes revealed a bit of anticipation and joy. She knew that although this system was sometimes unreliable, the rewards it gave were always eye-catching.

The system sounded a prompt again: "Ding! The host has obtained the Nether Eye, which is a treasure that can communicate with spirits and ghosts. It can copy the martial arts you have seen and even the martial arts secrets in movies and TV shows before the time travel. You can learn them at a glance." Li Qingge was overjoyed when she heard this, and she almost jumped up in excitement. She knew that this Nether Eye was definitely a treasure that defied the heavens! As long as she had it, she could learn any martial arts and martial arts secrets! This would undoubtedly take her strength to a higher level! She couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! This is really a big profit! System, system, although you are sometimes unreliable, this time you really gave me a big surprise!" Her laughter echoed in the rainy night, full of pride and joy.

The power of the Nether Eye and unexpected events
As soon as the system finished speaking, Qingge's eyes lit up instantly, like the brightest stars in the night sky, flashing with anticipation and excitement. "The Eye of the Netherworld? This ability can actually copy any martial arts I see, even the ones I saw on TV before I traveled through time! Does this mean that I can instantly master top-notch martial arts without practicing hard? But unfortunately, I can only use it three times a day, and each time for only a short while. But this is enough, when masters fight, the victory or defeat often depends on that moment." She was secretly happy, as if she had already seen herself becoming a martial arts master.

"Like Ye Gucheng's Fairy from the Sky, Li Xunhuan's Little Li Flying Dagger, as well as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Dugu's Nine Swords, and the Sunflower Manual, I can learn them as long as I think about it." Qingge said excitedly, her eyes flickering with desire for unknown martial arts. However, when she mentioned the Sunflower Manual, her face changed slightly, as if she thought of something terrible. "But when it comes to the Sunflower Manual, I get scared when I think of it. I have to get it out of my mind quickly, lest the Nether Eye accidentally copies it, which would be terrible. I don't want to become like Lin Pingzhi, who doesn't even want to die for martial arts. What I pursue is freedom, not the pinnacle of martial arts." She shook her head and dispelled those disturbing thoughts from her mind.

"Hey, this Nether Eye is much stronger than the Sharingan. The Sharingan has limitations, but this one doesn't. It can copy top martial arts when it sees them. It's amazing!" Qingge said excitedly, feeling like she was given a life-saving talisman by the system. She took a deep breath, her face filled with joy. Although she had thousands of acres of fertile land and more food than she could eat, she didn't care much about it. She just wanted to lie down comfortably and enjoy life. Now that she has the Nether Eye, martial arts are at her fingertips, and safety is guaranteed. Maybe she can even become the number one master in the Tang Dynasty. But she is not interested in this title, as long as she can save her life.

"With these two things, no one can compare to me in my days of lying down." Qingge was very happy. She especially liked to lie in bed and sleep on rainy days, and she could fall asleep quickly. Although she had not tried the power of the Nether Eye, she was full of confidence and knew that it must be very useful.

Early the next morning, Qingge went to her thousand-acre farm to check the rice. She was wearing a light green dress, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently in the wind, like a fairy walking on water. There was a gleam of wisdom and expectation in her eyes, as if she had already seen the scene of a good harvest. She tapped lightly, and the fertile fields appeared, full of green rice, which looked particularly vibrant under the sunlight. "It's growing so well, and we can harvest it tomorrow." She said with satisfaction, with a happy arc at the corner of her mouth. She felt very relieved when she thought that the people in Jiangnan would soon receive the first batch of food and solve the problem of food for several months. Although she likes to lie flat, it does not mean that she doesn't care about the suffering of the people. The Tang Dynasty had just been established, wars were constant, and the people suffered. She hoped to do her part to let them live a peaceful life.

After checking the rice, Qingge rode into the palace to attend the morning court. She rode on the horse, her posture was upright, like a female general about to go to war. Her eyes flashed with determination and wisdom, as if she was ready to face all challenges. Hundreds of officials gathered in front of the palace, talking about it, with surprised expressions on their faces. Qingge listened attentively, only to hear them say: "I heard that Mr. Qian cried bitterly after getting the bronze medal, and finally fainted." "Is he too happy?" "No, he looks desperate. And after donating grain, the wealthy businessmen in Chang'an broke off their friendship with him, which is really strange." "Yes, Qian is usually kind and generous, and this donation of grain should have been more popular. And he is honest in doing business, how could this happen?" "It's really strange! It's said that he has a bad reputation for withholding silver, but this time he donated grain so generously, it's really hard to understand." Hundreds of officials frowned, and they couldn't figure out the reason. Donating grain was originally a good thing, so why did Qian Dashan cry so sadly and regret it? The people looked down on him when they saw this scene. Donating grain and then regretting it, how could this be considered a good deed? The people were so disappointed that they vowed never to deposit money in the bank again. This incident soon spread in Chang'an and became a topic of conversation after dinner, and Qian Dashan's reputation plummeted.

Qingge was slightly stunned when she heard the news, and her brows knitted slightly, as if she was puzzled and regretful about what happened to Qian Dashanren. She didn't expect that her donation of grain in the name of Qian would bring such trouble to Qian Fengtian. This was originally just a reward given to her by the system, but she didn't expect it to implicate others. A trace of guilt and self-blame surged in her heart, as if she had pushed Qian Dashanren into the predicament with her own hands. She secretly vowed to find a way to make up for this mistake and restore Qian Dashanren's reputation. At the same time, she also strengthened her belief that she would use her own strength to seek welfare for the people and make the Tang Dynasty more stable and prosperous.

[Alas, the old man is now in a dilemma. He wants to tell the truth but is afraid of falling into a deeper pit. His eyes are full of helplessness and struggle, as if he is tightly bound by invisible ropes, and every step he takes is extremely heavy.]

[It seems that I can only bear the consequences silently. I can't help but feel a surge of sadness in my heart. This innocent involvement makes people feel particularly heavy. ]

[I never thought my actions would bring him so much trouble. How could I live with myself if I caused him to go bankrupt?] I thought to myself, and the guilt in my heart surged like a tide, making it almost impossible for me to breathe. Toyota was in such a predicament because of me, and I had to take on this responsibility no matter what.

"Please come in, ladies and gentlemen!" As soon as the words fell, a little eunuch ran out hurriedly, bent over, waving his hands, like a flexible landscape in the palace, leading all the officials into the magnificent palace.

The officials straightened their clothes and walked up the steps with serious expressions, each step looking solemn and majestic. When they stepped into the hall, they saw Emperor Taizong Li Shimin sitting on the dragon throne, with a slight dignified look on his face, but when he looked at me, that dignified look instantly turned into warmth, like the sunshine in spring, which made people feel particularly comfortable.

"The relief food we sent from Chang'an has arrived, and all prefectures and counties have followed suit. Rich businessmen have also donated money and food. The disaster victims in Jiangnan can now rest assured." Taizong relaxed his brows and looked at me with a smile on his face, his eyes full of approval and warmth.

I smiled slightly, but I felt a little bitter in my heart. If it weren't for me, how could this matter be solved so quickly? In just a few days, the big problem of disaster relief was successfully solved. In the past, disaster relief would often take ten days or half a month. How could the people bear it? Now, although I solved the problem, I also inadvertently brought great trouble to Toyota.

"But there's still not enough food, Mr. Cheng, do you have any good ideas?" Taizong's eyes fell on me again, with some expectation. All the officials also looked over, their eyes were full of curiosity and confusion.

"I went to see Mr. Qian yesterday, and he is willing to donate more food to help the victims." I smiled, looking confident. However, behind this smile was a hint of helplessness and worry.

When the officials heard this, they all looked at each other, wondering in their hearts. Toyota's regretful look was obvious, how could he be willing to donate grain again? Am I lying? But who dares to deceive the emperor? This is a capital crime that can cost you your head! Everyone was puzzled and didn't know what was going on.

"Can he really harvest a season's grain in three days as the legend says?" a minister muttered in a low voice.

"What kind of magic did this kid use?" another minister couldn't help but ask.

Although Taizong was a little surprised, he still kept a smile on his face and nodded gently. As for what magic I used, it doesn't matter. What matters is that the victims have food to eat and Jiangnan is stable.

"Thank you for your hard work." Taizong said gently.

"I don't feel tired at all for the people." I answered with a smile, and this was from the bottom of my heart. However, the guilt and worry in my heart became stronger and stronger. I had to solve the Toyota issue as soon as possible.

[Hey, Shimin, you don't know yet, I have thousands of acres of fertile land, plenty of rice, this little bit of food is nothing to me.] I was secretly proud of myself, but this pride was quickly shattered by reality.

[But to be able to gather so much food in a few days, anyone with a little knowledge of agriculture would know that this must not be what was originally in the Toyota warehouse.] I thought to myself, and my worry grew stronger.

[I have to find a way to appease Toyota quickly, otherwise if he lets the cat out of the bag, I won't be able to keep this secret. I wanted to keep a low profile, how did things develop to this point?] I was thinking in my mind, how can I appease Toyota, this time bomb.

"You have worked hard these days. I permit you to go back and rest early." Taizong said gently.

Appease Toyota? As expected, these grains are not Toyota's. This kid must go to Toyota to appease him, otherwise this matter will be exposed. I thought to myself, but I couldn't help but admire Taizong's insight.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." I was stunned for a moment, then I understood. This is too coincidental, isn't it? I was just thinking about how to appease Toyota, and Your Majesty gave me this opportunity. I thanked him without thinking too much and left.

Then I rode my horse all the way to Chang'an. The scene on the street was completely different from usual, cold and deserted, as if covered by a layer of haze. There were even fewer people in front of the money houses, which was in sharp contrast to the lively scene of people coming and going in the past.

I walked into the bank and saw Fengtian sitting behind the counter, his face as pale as a sheet of paper, his eyes empty. He had been wondering what was going on for the past two days, why did it suddenly become like this? Finally, he finally remembered my name - Li Qingge.

"General Cheng! You've made me suffer so much! If I had known this would happen, I would have donated less food! How could I have ended up like this!" When Toyota saw me, he felt like he saw a life-saving straw. He held my hand tightly and almost cried.

I looked at Toyota's desperate eyes, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of bitterness in my heart. The wealthy businessmen in Chang'an suspected that he deliberately set up a scheme to donate less but gain fame, so they cut off contact with him. He made all kinds of excuses but no one believed him. His old friends also cut off contact with him. Fortunately, the common people still remembered his old friendship and did not withdraw all their deposits, but compared with those wealthy businessmen, this amount of money was simply a drop in the bucket and could not solve his predicament at all.

"Toyota, I'm sorry. I really didn't expect to cause you so much trouble." I said guiltily, "But please believe me, I will definitely find a way to solve this problem."

When Toyota heard what I said, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He held my hand tightly, as if he had grabbed the last straw.

"Li Qingge, you must help me! I'm in a dilemma now!" he pleaded.

"Don't worry, I will do my best." I said firmly. Then, I turned and walked out of the bank, with a plan in mind.

I was walking on the streets of Chang'an, thinking about how to appease Toyota. Suddenly, I heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind me.

"General Cheng!" a familiar voice shouted.

I turned around and saw a young man in white clothes walking towards me with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face. He was none other than Li Xunhuan, the son of a famous wealthy businessman in Chang'an. "Li Xunhuan? Why are you here?" I asked curiously.

"Haha, General Cheng, I came here specially to see you." Li Xun Huan said with a smile, "I heard that you have put a lot of effort into disaster relief. How is it? Do you need my help?"

I looked at Li Xunhuan's smiling face, and I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart. Although Li Xunhuan looked careless at ordinary times, he was still quite reliable at critical moments.

"Li Xunhuan, you're here just in time. I really need your help." I said seriously, "Do you know about Toyota's situation? He's in trouble now."

"Toyota? I know. This matter has spread all over Chang'an City." Li Xunhuan nodded and said, "But what does this have to do with you? Why do you care about him so much?"

"Well, it's a long story. Actually, this is all because of me." I sighed and said, "I want to find a way to comfort him now, otherwise if he lets it slip, I won't be able to keep this secret anymore."

"Haha, so that's how it is." Li Xunhuan couldn't help laughing after hearing what I said, "General Cheng, don't worry. Just leave this matter to me. I promise to make Toyota extremely satisfied."

"Really? That's great!" I couldn't help but feel overjoyed when I heard what Li Xunhuan said, "Li Xunhuan, if you can help me solve this problem, I will definitely thank you in the future!"

"Haha, General Cheng, you're too polite. We are all friends, so it's only natural for us to help each other." Li Xun Huan said with a smile, "Then I'll go talk to Toyota now. Just wait for my good news!"

After saying that, Li Xunhuan turned and left. I looked at his back, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. This Li Xunhuan is such a reliable friend!

In the following days, I have been waiting for news from Li Xunhuan. Whenever I think of Fengtian's desperate eyes and pleading words, my heart is filled with guilt and worry. I hope Li Xunhuan can find a solution as soon as possible to get Fengtian out of trouble.

Finally, on a sunny morning, Li Xunhuan came to my mansion with a beaming smile on his face.

"General Cheng! Good news! Good news!" he shouted as he entered the room, "I have found a solution to Toyota's problem!"

"Really? That's great!" I was overjoyed when I heard this, "Li Xunhuan, you are so amazing! Tell me, how did you do it?"

"Haha, it's not that difficult actually." Li Xun Huan said proudly, "I just went to talk to those wealthy businessmen who had cut off ties with Feng Tian. I explained the truth of the matter to them and promised to help them solve the food problem. When they heard this, they were all willing to reconcile with Feng Tian."

"Really? That's great!" I was even more excited when I heard this, "Li Xunhuan, you really helped me a lot! I'll go tell Toyota the good news now!"

After that, I couldn't wait to ride to the bank. When I walked into the bank, I saw Toyota sitting behind the counter with a sad face. When he saw me come in, he immediately stood up.

"General Cheng! You are finally here! Did Li Xunhuan tell you any good news?" he asked impatiently.

"Haha, Toyota, don't worry! Li Xunhuan has helped you solve the problem!" I said with a smile, "Those wealthy businessmen are willing to make peace with you! Your predicament has been solved!"

"Really? That's great!" Toyota was immediately surprised when he heard this. "General Cheng, you are really my lifesaver! I will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Haha, Toyota, you're too polite. We are all friends, so it's only natural for us to help each other." I said with a smile, "Then come with me to meet those wealthy businessmen now! Let's celebrate this good news together!"

After that, I took Toyota and walked out of the bank. When we walked to the street, we saw the wealthy businessmen were already waiting there. When they saw Toyota and I coming, they immediately came to greet us.

"Brother Toyota! We've finally found you!" A wealthy businessman said with a smile, "We only knew the truth after listening to Li Xunhuan's words. It turns out that you got into trouble just to help us! We are so grateful to you!"

As the night deepened, the moon and stars were sparse. In the study room of Li Qingge's mansion, the flickering candlelight illuminated her resolute yet gentle face. She was dressed in an elegant purple robe, with fluttering sleeves, like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting a light that could not be ignored.

"Lord Li, you are too polite. My little act of kindness is no match for your contribution to the country. Why do you need to worship me?" Li Qingge smiled, his tone calm but revealing an unquestionable majesty, like the warm breeze in spring, but with the chill of autumn frost.

Qian Fengtian, a fat businessman with a round face, was standing in front of Li Qingge at this moment, forcing out a bitter smile. His eyes flickered, but his heart was full of mixed feelings, cursing secretly. Thinking back to the past, he was also the boss of a bank, living a carefree life, but now he was tied up by a bronze plaque and became a good man in name only. This plaque was simply a waste to him, and it was all thanks to Li Qingge. Whenever he thought of this, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

However, at this moment, he still had to put on a smile, and that smile was so stiff that it looked fake. Li Qingge saw this and laughed in his heart: "This old guy hates me to the core, but he pretends to be so flattering on the surface. He is really an old swindler. Although I don't like him, considering that he hasn't made any big mistakes and is now in such a state, I will help him and see what he will do next."

"Mr. Qian, let's not be polite and speak directly." Li Qingge changed the subject and his tone became serious, like a cold wind in winter, which made people shiver. "You know in your heart that you didn't pay for that batch of grain, but now you have received the grace of the emperor. Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if this matter was leaked?"

As soon as these words came out, Qian Toyota was like being struck by lightning. He trembled all over, his knees weakened and he knelt down again. He was shaking all over, sweating profusely, and his face was as pale as paper. The crime of deceiving the emperor would punish the entire clan, how could he not know that? But this happened so unexpectedly that he became a good person without knowing it. Now it was too late to defend himself.

Could it be that this guy wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail me? Qian Toyota was in a state of panic and quickly kowtowed to beg for mercy: "General Cheng, please have mercy! My family is bankrupt now and I have nothing." His voice was filled with tears and seemed extremely desolate.

"You are too modest. It's not even the New Year yet. You won't get a red envelope if you kowtow." Li Qingge teased, with a playful smile on her face, which was considered to be the upper hand. Her eyes revealed a bit of teasing and mockery, as if she was watching a good show.

"General, as long as you can spare my life, I am willing to work like a cow or a horse. I have no complaints even if I have to recognize you as my father! Please have mercy!" As he said this, Qian Toyota actually hugged Li Qingge's legs tightly, and the intimacy was so embarrassing that people were embarrassed. His tears and snot flowed down, and he looked miserable.

Li Qingge was shocked, her mouth twitching, she was speechless in her heart: "I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen someone so shameless! In order to survive, he even does things like recognizing his son as his father. This face is thicker than a city wall!" She cursed in her heart, but kept a calm face.

She shouted angrily, "Get lost! I don't have a son as old as you!" She pushed Qian Fengtian away with disgust on her face. Then she sat still, her expression so mysterious that it was hard to understand. Her eyes revealed a bit of coldness and majesty, as if she could see through people's hearts.

Qian Toyota was so frightened that he cried and begged, "General, please tell me what I can do to survive! I am willing to lose everything I have to atone for my sins!" His voice was filled with despair and pleading, like a drowning man seeking the last straw.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Li Qingge smiled and said, "Since you are so pitiful, I will give you a way out. As long as you help me do one thing, I will not report it to the emperor." Her voice was soft and majestic, like a spring breeze blowing on the face but with the chill of autumn frost.

"General, just give me your orders. I, Qian Fengtian, will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Qian Fengtian agreed repeatedly, fearing that he would be a little slow. His eyes revealed a bit of firmness and determination, as if he was ready to die.

"It's simple. Continue to donate grain to Jiangnan until the flood is over." Li Qingge finally stated her purpose. Her eyes revealed a bit of depth and wisdom, as if she could see through everything in the world.

"General, you are making things difficult for me. I am a pauper now. Where can I get food to donate?" Qian Fengtian's face was pale and he was in despair. All the money in his family had been taken away by creditors, and he was selling his property to fill the hole. Apart from this house, he had nothing left. His eyes revealed a bit of helplessness and despair, as if he had reached the end of his life.

"You misunderstood, kindhearted person. I am not asking you to donate your own grain. I have grain on hand that I want to use to help the people of Jiangnan. I am just borrowing your name." Li Qingge explained. Her voice was calm and firm, like a warm current flowing into Qian Toyota's heart.

"So that's how it is..." Qian Fengtian finally understood that Li Qingge wanted to use this batch of grain of unknown origin to clear himself, so he agreed. His eyes revealed a bit of relief and gratitude, as if he had returned from hell. He knew that this was the last chance Li Qingge gave him, and he must cherish it.

As an insignificant young general, Li Qingge suddenly decided to donate a large amount of food, which would undoubtedly arouse suspicion from others. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, she found me and hoped that I could handle the matter for her.

It suddenly dawned on me that this boy - no, this girl, is actually quite similar to me. We both have secrets that are unknown to others and hidden wisdom. Toyota took a deep breath, looked up and looked directly at Qingge, and inexplicably felt a sense of closeness in his heart. "General Cheng, there is no need to say anything extra. I understand what you mean. But then again, what benefits can I get?" After saying this, Toyota's fear disappeared instantly, and turned into a trace of disdain. Since we are all the same kind of people, what is there to be afraid of?

At this moment, the system's warning sounded in Qingge's mind: "Ding! System warning: The host is a wealthy man, but he is despised. The contempt is beyond words. The Wuwei Lying Flat system senses this emotion and has triggered the reward mechanism." "Ding! System bestows treasure: cornucopia." "Cornucopia: Just put in silver, the silver will automatically increase, and the more silver you put in, the faster it increases." "In theory, its capacity can accommodate the wealth of the world."

Qingge was so surprised when she heard the system's prompt that her eyes widened. She took a deep breath, but still couldn't hide her excitement. She looked around and made sure that no one was around before she quietly said in her heart: "Cornucopia? As I expected, certain situations will trigger the system, and the treasures bestowed by the system are always just right. This is a bank, a place where silver gathers, so the system gave me a cornucopia."

She was filled with ecstasy, as if she had seen the day when she would become the richest person in the Tang Dynasty. "Oh my! This cornucopia is simply endless wealth. Am I already the richest person in the Tang Dynasty?" Qingge felt like she was dreaming. She pinched her thigh, and the pain told her that this was not a dream, but reality.

She turned around and said to Toyota with a smile, "It's settled. And I will never treat you unfairly. I will deposit money into the bank regularly in the future to help you get back on your feet." After saying that, she was eager to try out the magic of this treasure pot, so she turned around and prepared to leave.

Toyota was so grateful that tears welled up in his eyes. He kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, General Cheng. From now on, I am willing to serve you at your service without any complaints."

"Get up. See you at the city gate tomorrow to deliver the grain." After Qingge said this, he left in a cool manner.

However, Fengtian's smile instantly disappeared after Qingge left, and turned into resentment. "Bah! Why are you pretending to be noble! You are so cunning at such a young age, hiding so much food, you are even greedier than me." "One day, you will be severely punished by His Majesty. When that time comes, I will definitely set off firecrackers to celebrate for three days and three nights."

Qingge rode back to Cheng's house quickly. She walked into the study, closed the door, and activated the system's storage space with her mind. It was filled with all kinds of props, the most eye-catching of which was the newly added golden basin, which was inlaid with jewels and jade, shining with dazzling light.

"Is this the treasure bowl? It's really not an ordinary thing, it's shining with gold." Qingge murmured to himself, "Let me test how fast it can produce silver."

She carefully took out the treasure bowl. According to the system's instructions, the method of using it is similar to farming. As long as you put in silver, it will increase. But how fast will it increase? If it only increases by one or two silvers a day, it will be useless. However, Qingge had a strong premonition that the speed of this treasure bowl must be very fast.

When the treasure bowl was taken out, the whole room was filled with golden light. The simple study room instantly became magnificent, and a breath of wealth and nobility came to her face. Qingge seemed to be in a dream world. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling this breath of wealth and nobility that she had never experienced before.

“Is this what it feels like to be rich?” she murmured to herself, “No wonder everyone in the world is so obsessed with fame and wealth.”

She calmed down and looked inside the treasure bowl. She saw smoke and stars inside, as if there was a world hidden inside. She couldn't help but reach out to touch the stars and smoke, but her hand penetrated them, as if they were just illusions.

"No wonder they say it's inexhaustible, it turns out there's something really special inside! Could this be a treasure from the Heavenly Palace?" Qingge was curious and couldn't help but reach in to explore. But her hand stopped as soon as it touched the bottom of the basin, because she felt a strong force preventing her from exploring further.

"I see. This treasure bowl can only increase the amount of silver. If you put other things in it, it will still be an ordinary bowl." Qingge suddenly realized, "Then let's take some silver and try it out."

She smiled and took out some loose silver from her body, and carefully put it into the treasure bowl. With a "ding" sound, the smoke dissipated, and a vast world appeared in front of her. There were mountains and rivers, and clouds and mists, but there were no living creatures. Qingge seemed to be in a fairyland, and she looked at this magical world in amazement.

"Just as I thought, there really is a space inside! Maybe this is an independent world!" she said excitedly, "This must be a treasure left behind by the Heavenly Palace!"

She couldn't help but reach out to touch the mountains, waters and clouds, but her hand penetrated them, as if they were just illusions. However, when she took her hand back, she found some silver in her hand. She looked at the silver in surprise, and her heart was filled with ecstasy.

"Haha, this cornucopia is really magical! It can actually produce silver!" Qingge laughed and said, "It seems that I will really become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty!"
