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

Chapter 26

Silver fell like drizzle, each drop sparkling with light. Gradually, they turned into tiny white dots and merged silently into the dust, as if the whole world was covered by a thin layer of silver gauze.

"Oh, this scene is so strange, I've never seen it before in my life!" Li Qingge's eyes sparkled with excitement, and a smile of surprise hung on the corners of her mouth. It seemed as if there were thousands of butterflies dancing in her heart, and she was so happy. She was wearing an elegant green dress, and the hem of her skirt swayed gently in the wind, like a touch of freshness in spring.

Before long, she figured out the secret of the treasure bowl. As expected, as soon as the silver entered the bowl, it turned into seeds, then took root and sprouted, and continued to grow more silver. The silver seeds seemed to have life, stirring in the soil of the bowl, quickly breaking through the soil, and the silver shoots grew up whizzing, and soon became lush and covered with silver fruits. When the fruits were ripe, they fell off and turned into new seeds, and this cycle continued endlessly.

"See? It's already started to grow!" Li Qingge pointed at the treasure bowl, his eyes gleaming with surprise.

"It's too fast! The time in the basin is different from the time outside, it's like a fast-forwarded movie." There was a hint of amazement and disbelief in her voice.

Then, Li Qingge discovered another wonder: clouds were floating and water was flowing, much faster than usual. It was obvious that the speed of time here was different from that outside. She looked up at the sky and saw clouds passing by quickly, like a flowing painting; she looked down at the ground and saw the stream gurgling, flowing at a speed that was astonishing. Looking at the basin again, the silver seeds in it broke through the soil in a flash, and the silver buds grew up in a flash. Soon, they became lush and leafy, and were covered with silver fruits.

Li Qingge was stunned, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. This speed was simply amazing. Two taels of silver turned into tens of thousands of taels in the blink of an eye. If time did not stop, it would not be long before the basin would be burst by the silver. She felt an indescribable excitement and joy in her heart, as if she had discovered an endless treasure.

"In just ten seconds, it turned into a silver sea. It can continue to grow after falling down. It's so spectacular!" She couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Although I can't do math, but think about it this way, in a few days, buying the entire Tang Dynasty won't be a problem!" There was some sarcasm and self-mockery in her voice, but more of it was the infinite longing and expectation for the future.

"The speed at which this pot produces silver is simply incredible!" She exclaimed again, her eyes flashing with longing and determination for the future.

Li Qingge smiled from ear to ear, and finally decided to put the pot away and let it grow slowly. She gently stroked the treasure pot, feeling its warm touch, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in her heart. Then she opened her green field and looked at the thousands of acres of fertile fields inside. The golden rice ears were heavy and swayed gently in the breeze, as if whispering the joy of a good harvest.

"Tomorrow will be another bumper harvest. Let Qian Toyota go to donate the grain. Maybe he can get some rewards." She thought to herself, with a sly smile on her lips.

"I wonder what the reward will be this time, it will definitely be better than last time." She was very happy, full of anticipation and curiosity about this reward. After all, she had already received a treasure like the cornucopia before, so this reward must be even more unique and precious.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the next day. The city gate is crowded with people. When they hear that Qian Fengtian is going to donate grain again, everyone is talking about it and discussing this topic.

"I thought he regretted it, but I didn't expect him to donate so much again." A commoner in coarse clothes sighed.

"He is such a kind man. We have wronged him before." Another citizen shook his head, with admiration in his eyes.

"But where does his food come from? Almost all of it was donated last time." A young scholar asked puzzledly.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Besides, he is a businessman. How could his savings over the years be just that little?" An old man stroked his beard and smiled, with a wise gleam in his eyes.

When everyone thought about it, they felt that if they had food, they would not easily donate it. So they respected Qian Fengtian even more, and gave him admiring looks and words of praise.

At this time, the sound of carriages came from afar. Qian Fengtian drove more than a dozen carriages slowly. The carriages were full of golden grains, and the aroma was mouth-watering. Everyone was stunned and excited. The grain donated this time was even more than the last time, which was simply unbelievable.

"Mr. Qian is truly unparalleled in history! Please accept our greetings!" a commoner shouted excitedly, and was about to kneel down and kowtow.

"We scholars have nothing to offer in return, so let's just write a few poems to praise you." A young scholar said with a smile, his eyes sparkling with admiration and gratitude.

"Although I am not rich, I am willing to deposit my money in your bank as a token of my respect." said another citizen, with some sincerity and respect in his voice.

The praises came like a tide. Qian Toyota was a little stunned at first, but soon he showed a look of joy. He received such a high honor without doing anything, and he was so proud. He lost himself in the praises, walked with his head held high, and his face was full of pride and pride.

"As citizens of the Tang Dynasty, how can we watch the people in the south of the Yangtze River suffer? Although the grain I donated is not much, I have done my part." He said modestly, but the pride and satisfaction in his eyes could not be concealed.

"You don't have to praise me so much, this is what I should do." He smiled and nodded, then took the food into the palace. Along the way, he was accompanied by people's praises and applause, which made him feel unprecedented honor and respect. Li Qingge stood aside, with a faint smile on his lips, secretly thinking about the next plan in his heart.

At that time, a group of wealthy businessmen looked at each other with confusion written all over their faces, as if the sky was covered with dark clouds. Everyone seemed to be shrouded in mystery, unable to glimpse even a corner of the truth.

"What's going on? Shouldn't his bank be losing a lot of money? How come he can suddenly come up with so much grain?" A merchant dressed in gorgeous silk had a frown on his face, as if even the dust in the air was filled with confusion.

"Could it be that there are really several large granaries hidden outside as rumored?" Another businessman tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his eyes flickering, as if he was trying to find the answer from every detail.

"Looking at this, he must have accumulated countless wealth over the years. He donated food without blinking an eye. He is rich enough to compete with the country." An elderly businessman said with a trembling voice, showing shock and unwillingness.

"So, he should be the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, right?" As soon as this sentence came out, the merchants were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred, just like a bottle of five flavors overturned, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, and they couldn't calm down. We are all doing business, how can he gather money so easily, making people jealous and itchy?
In the blink of an eye, it was noon, the sun was shining on the bluestone road, the handover was done, Toyota returned to the bank with a smile on his face, and knelt down in front of Li Qingge, his face full of anticipation, like a puppy waiting for the master's reward.

"General Cheng, everything has been done. The ten carts of grain have been handed over to Lord Wei Zheng personally. What do you think?" Toyota's voice was a little flattering and a little anxious.

Li Qingge smiled slightly, that smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, warm but not dazzling, "Very good. I came here this time to fulfill our previous agreement." Her voice was calm and firm, revealing an unquestionable power.

"I said that I would deposit a large sum of money into your manor. But you have to keep it a secret for me." Li Qingge's eyes flashed with a bit of cunning and seriousness.

Toyota nodded repeatedly, his eyes flashing with flattery, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: How much money can a general have? At most, only a few thousand taels, why is it worth being so mysterious? His heart was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to show it.

"Come with me to the backyard." Li Qingge said, pushing open the door and walking in first. Her figure was elongated in the sunlight, making her look particularly tall.

Toyota followed behind, wondering: It's just a few thousand taels of silver, is it necessary to be so mysterious? He hesitated, but had to keep up.

But as soon as he stepped into the backyard, Toyota was stunned, his eyes were bigger than copper bells, and his heartbeat almost stopped. He saw the yard was full of white silver, shining with dazzling light, almost blinding people's eyes. The silver piled up like a mountain, shining with an attractive luster, as if each piece was telling a story of wealth.

"This... This is too much silver, isn't it? At least 100,000 taels!" Toyota's voice was trembling, and he collapsed to the ground, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg. He thought Li Qingge was just an insignificant general, who would have thought he could be so rich? Seeing this scene, he realized how short-sighted his previous thinking was.

[They are wealthy businessmen from the Tang Dynasty, but it is ridiculous that such a small amount of silver can shock them like this.] Li Qingge laughed secretly in her heart, and her eyes revealed a bit of disdain and indifference.

[But then again, who wouldn't be surprised to see so much silver all of a sudden?] Her thoughts drifted away, as if she had returned to the moment that decided her fate.

[Although this money is in his bank, it is just a drop in the bucket for me, so it doesn’t matter if I give it to him.] Li Qingge was calculating in her mind, and her eyes revealed a bit of indifference and detachment.

[But this matter still needs to be kept secret, don't let him be too happy, or it will hurt his body.] The corners of her mouth curled up into a faint smile, which was both cunning and caring.

Li Qingge kept smiling and said loudly: "I'll keep this money with you for now. I won't need it for now, so you can use it as you like. But there's one thing I need to ask you..." Her voice was calm and firm, revealing an unquestionable power.

When Toyota heard this, he immediately became excited and asked with his hands clasped together: "General, please tell me. Toyota will do his best!" His voice was full of eagerness and expectation.

"If the Tang Dynasty is in trouble, I hope you can donate money to help immediately." Li Qingge's eyes revealed some seriousness and expectation.

"This is just what I saved today, and there will be more in the future. Whenever I need money, I hope you can be generous. But don't worry, the money I saved will definitely far exceed the amount needed." Her voice was full of confidence, as if everything was under her control.

When Toyota heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He thought: If the Tang Dynasty doesn't need this money, then it will all be his, right? This good thing that fell from the sky, he actually ran into it! His heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

"General, you are such a kind man! Toyota is willing to serve you like a father. How about you adopt me as your adopted son?" Toyota's voice was full of flattery and eagerness.

When Li Qingge heard this, her face immediately darkened and she scolded, "Adopted son? Don't mention it again! I don't have such a son!" Her voice revealed a bit of displeasure and determination.

Toyota didn't care. He rolled on the ground with laughter and said, "General, are you satisfied?" His voice was full of flattery and fawning.

Li Qingge looked at his shameless appearance and secretly sighed in her heart: "This boy is really shameless! It's all because of the money! Only when you have money do you know the fun of it." Her eyes revealed a bit of helplessness and indifference.

[Too much money is also a worry! Now I am the richest man, but I haven't enjoyed happiness yet, and I have too much money to store it. Instead, I feel that it is meaningless.] Li Qingge muttered to herself in her heart, her eyes revealing a bit of confusion and helplessness.

[Money is just a number to me, it's boring.] Her thoughts drifted away, as if she had returned to the days when she used to work hard for a living. Although it was hard at that time, it was full of fun and challenges. And now? In addition to endless wealth and boring days, what else does she have?

Li Qingge sighed softly, worrying about her excessive wealth. The cornucopia produced silver day and night, far exceeding her expectations. Gradually, her obsession with money became less and less. She began to think about the meaning and value of life, and began to look for things that could make her happy and satisfied. Perhaps this is true happiness?

Thinking of this, Li Qingge couldn't help but sigh deeply, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. She looked out the window, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, casting a faint silver glow, covering everything in the courtyard in a soft halo. Under the moonlight, the flowers seemed more beautiful and the leaves more green, but all these beautiful scenes seemed a little blurry in her eyes. Her thoughts were as complex and profound as the night.

"Money is like dirt." In the past, she thought that this sentence was just the hypocritical words of those noble people, and she wanted to whip them. But now, she herself has realized the deep meaning behind this sentence. When you have a lot of money, it is really just a number. The more you have, the more meaningless it becomes. The more you have in your hands, the less you care about it. This truth really touches your heart.

Li Qingge couldn't help but feel a surge of regret in her heart. She hadn't had time to enjoy the life of a rich person, and the money she made was almost gone. It was like just unbuttoning a dress, not doing anything, and it was suddenly over. How could it not make people depressed!
"General Cheng? General Cheng?" Qian Toyota saw Li Qingge standing there in a daze, and quickly called her in a low voice.

Li Qingge came back to her senses and smiled slightly. In her eyes, the silver in the room was like dirt and clods of dirt. She didn't even look at it. "Oh, just remember what I said. I'm leaving now. You can keep the silver in your bank first." Her voice was calm and indifferent, as if the silver was just a trivial thing.

Qian Toyota's face twitched slightly, and his heartbeat accelerated. He couldn't believe his eyes. The 100,000 taels of silver dazzled his eyes. He was so excited that he almost shouted out. Thinking that he had so much money in his hand and could spend it however he wanted, he could only say one word - "cool"!
But then, he felt a little scared again. Li Qingge threw out 100,000 taels so casually, it seemed that his family must be much richer than this. "How much money does it take to be so calm? This kid is too bold to do this." Qian Toyota sighed secretly, feeling inferior.

At this time, Li Qingge had returned to Cheng's house and entered the study. The first thing she did was to open the treasure bowl and take a closer look. Oh my God! The silver light in this bowl was so bright that it was blinding! The richness was so great that it could crush a mountain. With so much silver, it would not be a problem to buy the entire Tang Dynasty.

However, looking at the basin full of silver, Li Qingge fell into deep thought. "I've become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, why can't I be happy?" She said to herself, "Money is something that is fun only if you save it slowly. I don't know what to do with so much money coming in all at once." After saying that, she felt a little regretful in her heart. She felt that although the cornucopia could make money, it also made her lose the fun of making money. What a mistake!

If outsiders heard her thinking this, they would definitely call her Versailles. But Li Qingge didn't care about that. She only knew her true feelings.

"Let's sleep for a while, think about how to deal with the assassin, and try my Nether Eye." Ever since he got the Nether Eye, Li Qingge has been thinking about the assassin, hoping to meet him again. This eye can copy the enemy's moves, even the moves in memory, but it can only be used three times, each time no more than a quarter of an hour. Li Qingge is full of confidence, thinking that once he uses it, he will definitely shock everyone.

However, the assassin was scared away by the old bull in the Heavenly Palace last time, and it is unlikely that he will appear again. "The loneliness of a master is really hard to describe." Li Qingge sighed in her heart. Although she claimed to be the first in many aspects of the Tang Dynasty, she always felt that something was missing in her life. She smiled bitterly and lay down to sleep.

Just as he closed his eyes, he heard a commotion outside: "Where's my son? He's made me proud these past few days. I have to have a good talk with him today!" The guards and servants hurriedly shouted: "The master is here, please call in the general!"

It turned out to be Cheng Yaojin who entered the palace with a beaming face. Recently, His Majesty always asked Li Qingge about this and that, and Cheng Yaojin felt that this was a supreme honor, and his family also benefited from it. His sons all had their own successes, some made meritorious contributions in the army, and some protected His Majesty, but Li Qingge was not favored before, but now he is suddenly so capable, how can he not be proud?
"Dad, I'm here." Li Qingge walked out quickly, smiling like a flower. Although she was not Cheng Yaojin's biological son, she inherited his memory, so she naturally regarded Cheng Yaojin as her biological father.

Cheng Yaojin patted Li Qingge's shoulder and laughed, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he quickly stopped. He looked at Li Qingge's strong shoulders, his eyes full of surprise and relief. "Haha! My son really made me proud! Those rich businessmen in Chang'an are so stingy, and you can actually get so much hair from them!"

Li Qingge replied with a smile: "It's all thanks to daddy. A good father will have a good son! Daddy was so powerful in Wagangzhai back then. Although I can't compare to you one percent, I have learned a little bit." Her voice was full of admiration and gratitude for Cheng Yaojin.

Cheng Yaojin said happily: "Good boy! You are stronger now, so you must have had some adventures. Come on, come with your father to the martial arts training ground to try your hand and see how powerful you are now." Then he pulled Li Qingge to the martial arts training ground. His heart was full of expectations and pride for Li Qingge, as if he had already seen Li Qingge's heroic figure showing off his skills in the martial arts training ground.

Li Qingge, as a descendant of a military commander, prefers a leisurely and laissez-faire lifestyle. However, fate always seems to play tricks on people, and the martial arts training ground at home is a symbol of her inescapable fate. The martial arts training ground was cleaned spotlessly by the servants, and the sun shone through the sparse clouds on this land full of swords and swords. Various weapons were placed around, including swords, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks, all kinds of martial arts, shining in the sun, as if each one was telling the glory of the past.

"My daughter, today I want to see how your martial arts are going. When we fight, don't save face for me, I can handle it." Cheng Yaojin walked into the martial arts training ground with a smile on his face. His burly figure and heroic laughter seemed to shake the whole space. He walked to the weapon rack, but found that the rack was full of double-blade axes. He was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hey, you understand my mind, you put so many axes, all of which are my favorites." He was so happy, just like a child who got a favorite toy.

Li Qingge smiled bitterly and responded, "I'm afraid this... isn't a good idea. If I really try my best, I'm afraid I'll hurt you." She knew that her father's martial arts were top-notch. Although people outside said that he only knew three axes, those three axes were varied and powerful. If she didn't use some special means, she might not be able to catch even two axes, which would be embarrassing; but if she used them, it would be unfair and unfilial. She frowned, her heart was like a turmoil, and she couldn't make a decision. "What? Do you think you have a sure win, and you're afraid that I can't stand it?" Cheng Yaojin laughed, and his laughter was full of love and expectation for his daughter. "It's okay! If you can really beat me, I'll be so happy, but I'm just afraid that you can't win." After that, he looked at Li Qingge expectantly, his eyes full of encouragement and trust.

"In that case, I won't be polite." Li Qingge smiled bitterly, shook her head, and picked up a long sword from the shelf. This sword is the famous Dugu Nine Swords, the sword body is light, the blade is sharp, and the scabbard can also protect the body, so it won't hurt my father. She gently drew the sword out of the scabbard, and the sword light was like water, instantly illuminating the entire martial arts training ground.

In a blink of an eye, a faint blue light flashed in Li Qingge's eyes, which was a symbol of the surging of true energy in her body. The essence of Dugu Nine Swords instantly poured into her mind, and the true energy rose from her dantian and flowed through her body. She seemed to have merged with the sword and become the master of the sword.

At this moment, three people quietly climbed onto the roof, their eyes full of murderous intent and conspiracy. They secretly watched everything in the martial arts training ground, their hearts filled with surprise and secret joy.

"Cheng Yaojin is here too?" one of them whispered, "We are no match for him, we have to be careful." "It's okay, his eyesight is poor, he can't see that far, and even if he can see us, he can't catch up with us." "Hehe, that kid pretending with a sword is really ridiculous. Who doesn't know that she is a waste?" The three people despised Li Qingge, and at the same time wanted to take the opportunity to see her strength.

However, their words were like sharp blades, piercing deep into Li Qingge's heart. Although she remained calm on the surface, endless anger and determination surged in her heart. She wanted to use her own strength to prove to them that she was definitely not a waste!
"You haven't unsheathed your sword yet? Good boy, you're letting me go." Cheng Yaojin felt warm at heart when he saw this. He smiled and swung his axe, with a whistling sound, heading straight for Li Qingge. The axe move was so fierce that it seemed to split the air.

"Well done!" Li Qingge praised, her long sword trembling slightly, pointing diagonally, just in time to the flaw in the axe move. Her swordsmanship was superb, and every move and every style was just right to break Cheng Yaojin's axe move.

"This flaw is so hard to find, your swordsmanship is so superb!" Cheng Yaojin was shocked. He didn't expect his daughter's swordsmanship to have reached such a level. He felt relieved and proud, as if he saw his daughter's brilliant future.

However, Cheng Yaojin's three axe moves were more than just three axe moves. He had many variations and axe moves were endless. He shouted loudly, and his axe moves suddenly changed, pouncing on the long sword like a tiger. His fierce look seemed to devour everything.

"Dad is really quick to react." Li Qingge responded calmly, her swordsmanship was as natural and smooth as flowing water. The Dugu Nine Swords emphasizes defeating the opponent with no moves, finding the flaw and then breaking it with one strike. Its brilliance lies in being able to find the opponent's flaw in the ever-changing situation and deliver a fatal blow.

Li Qingge's heart raced. She was afraid that she would be shrouded by the shadow of the Sunflower Manual again. It was an evil and powerful martial arts secret book that had brought her endless pain and distress. She decided to make a quick decision and not leave herself with any regrets.

The long sword moved violently, and the moves appeared one after another like a ghost. The sword shadows intertwined densely, forming a sharp sword net that rushed straight to Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin retreated again and again, and he felt an unprecedented pressure coming at him. His double axes flew out of his hands and flew into the air under the pressure of the sword shadows.

"Huh?" Cheng Yaojin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his daughter's strength to surpass his own. He nodded with satisfaction, "My dear daughter, you have practiced swordsmanship to such a level!" His voice was full of pride and pride, as if he saw his daughter shining in the martial arts world in the future.

"Father, how could I really give in to you? It's obviously because I'm not skilled enough. How dare I confront you head-on? Otherwise, I would have fallen to the ground long ago." Li Qingge smiled, her words full of humility. Her gentle smile was like a ray of warm sunshine in spring, not too dazzling, but also warm. Her eyes flashed with respect for her father and self-knowledge.

There were many attendants around, they were either standing or standing, their eyes were all focused on the two people in the field - Cheng Yaojin and Li Qingge. If they saw that I really beat my father, then my father's majesty would be gone in an instant. So, Li Qingge, I naturally have to keep a low profile and be humble. She thought so in her heart, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. There was both helplessness and filial piety to her father in that smile.

"Although I didn't use my full strength, you made me give in within a few moves, which is very rare." Cheng Yaojin's hearty voice resounded throughout the martial arts training ground. He was straightforward and never hypocritical. But for the sake of his son, he went with the flow this time and acknowledged his son's "victory." His eyes were full of love and encouragement, as if saying, "You have done very well."

Seeing this, the servants secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They thought that the young master was really better than the old master. In fact, the old master was deliberately letting him win. They exchanged glances and secretly felt lucky that they did not make a fool of themselves because of misjudgment. The young master had never been seen practicing swordsmanship before. The martial arts training ground was just a decoration for him. The old housekeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head, muttering that the old master doted on the young master too much and let him win in the competition. If this continued, it would harm the young master. There was helplessness and worry about Cheng Yaojin in his eyes.

The three assassins hiding on the rooftop had disdainful expressions on their faces. When they first saw Li Qingge's golden swordsmanship, they were indeed shocked and doubted his strength. But when they heard Cheng Yaojin admit that he had let him win, they felt relieved. They had long heard that Li Qingge was a waste, and today they suddenly saw that he had such superb swordsmanship, and they were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

"Hmph! I thought he had secretly practiced some amazing sword skills, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding." One of the assassins snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain.

"A waste is always a waste, how can he suddenly become a swordsman?" Another assassin echoed, their eyes full of contempt for Li Qingge.

"What should we do now? Take action?" the third assassin asked in a low voice, with some hesitation in his tone.

"Why are you moving? Cheng Yaojin is here. Who dares to look down on him? Back then, he charged into battle and defeated an army of 100,000 people alone. This was no joke." The bald assassin rolled his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt regretful in his heart. He was scared away by the dragon last time, and wanted to try again this time, but Cheng Yaojin came again. He could only come back another day. His tone showed both awe for Cheng Yaojin and regret for not completing the task.

The three sighed, and moved across the rooftops like lightning. The buildings of Datang were so high that they reached the sky. The servants were busy with their own affairs and had no time to look up, so although the three made a lot of noise, no one noticed. They moved between the rooftops like ghosts, looking for a way to escape.

However, their actions had already been noticed by Li Qingge. Her eyes had locked onto their hiding place, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. That sneer contained both contempt for the assassins and ridicule for their ignorance. The three of them were completely unaware and continued to speed across the rooftop, not knowing that their lives and deaths were already in the hands of Li Qingge.

Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of them, and Li Qingge, dressed in white, stood in front of them. She had her back to the long sword, and her aura was so great that the three of them couldn't help but hold their breath. Her eyes flashed with determination, as if to say, "You can't escape anymore."

"Who are you? We have no grudges against each other. Can you give us a way out?" The bald assassin looked fierce, holding the dagger tightly, trying to shake Li Qingge's determination with words.

"Brother, why be so polite? Just start fighting." The second brother shrugged his nose and drew his sword. His tone was full of desire for battle.

"Yes! This guy suddenly appeared, he must have a conspiracy, we don't have to be polite!" The third brother frowned and drew his knife, his eyes full of vigilance and hostility.

In an instant, cold light flashed, swords and shadows intertwined, and a life-and-death battle was about to begin.

"This is the second time you've come to see me. Now I'm standing here, and you still don't recognize me?" Li Qingge turned around slowly, her tone carrying a hint of leisure and confidence. Her eyes flashed with anticipation for the battle and a firm belief in victory.

"Your memory is so bad, you need to be treated!" There was a hint of ridicule and sarcasm in her words, as if she was telling the assassins that their failure was already doomed.

"Li Qingge!" The three assassins were shocked, their eyes full of ferocity. It was this guy? He was just chatting and laughing with Cheng Yaojin, how come he is here in the blink of an eye? His movements are too fast! Their hearts were filled with surprise at Li Qingge's strength and nervousness and anticipation for the upcoming battle.

A strange feeling surged through their bodies, and a strange aura filled their hearts. They knew that this battle would be a life-and-death contest, and their fate was already in the hands of Li Qingge.

"I want to ask who you are?" Li Qingge frowned, her heart full of doubts. She blocked their way, just to get to the bottom of things. She had been keeping a low profile since she came here, so how could she attract assassins? And although the court was complicated, she thought she was kind to others, and no one should hire someone to kill someone. Her tone showed both doubts about the identity of the assassins and an exploration of their purpose.

"As the rule of the martial arts world, don't ask about the behind-the-scenes stuff. General Cheng, why bother to get to the bottom of this?" The bald assassin sneered and shook his head, "Besides, you're about to die at my hands. When you're on the road of reincarnation, after drinking Meng Po's soup, you'll forget it even if you know." His tone was full of contempt for death and threats to Li Qingge.

"You have a point. But I just don't want to die!" Li Qingge shook her head, her eyes flashing with her persistence in life and her firm belief in fighting. She knew that this battle would determine her life and death and fate, but she would never give up easily.

"Life and death are determined by fate. Since you have appeared, you will definitely die. Don't blame us. You died in vain." The bald assassin raised his lips slightly, full of disdain. His words were full of foreshadowing of Li Qingge's death and mockery of her fate.

However, Li Qingge was not shaken by his words. She knew that her strength and wisdom were enough to deal with this crisis. She smiled slightly, and that smile contained both contempt for the assassin and confidence in her own strength. She knew that this battle would be a life-and-death contest, but she was fully prepared.

"Wrongful death? I understand. Your target is not me, but you want to use my death to hurt someone else." Li Qingge speculated cautiously after a moment's silence. Her eyes flashed with insight into the assassin's purpose and the exposure of their conspiracy.

"That person, could it be Li Shimin?" Her words were filled with a hint of coldness and speculation about the mastermind behind the assassin. She knew that there must be a bigger conspiracy and purpose behind this assassination, and she was just a pawn in it. But she would never let the assassins succeed in their conspiracy. She would use her own strength and wisdom to reveal the truth and protect the people and things she loved.

Hey, now I understand. Although I didn't take the initiative to cause trouble, Li Shimin, as an emperor, always inadvertently attracted a lot of resentment. After all, who in the Tang Dynasty can compare with him in terms of power and arrogance? But then again, he is the emperor after all. Even if he really offends someone, others can only endure it and dare not express dissatisfaction? But how can you deal with the people around him? It's really a headache.

Li Qingge frowned, thinking hard. She stood in the middle of the martial arts training ground, the sun shining through the sparse clouds and onto her body, adding a bit of warmth to her already cold temperament. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see through everything in the world, but at this moment, she couldn't think of a master who could deal with that group of people.

She sighed, her eyes swept over the various weapons on the martial arts field, swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and other weapons, all glittering in the sun, but none of them could ease her anxiety. Now, there was only one way, and that was to find out the mastermind behind it, to subdue these three guys and make them tell the truth.

"Don't even think about it. How do we know who sent us?" The assassin who called himself the second in command curled his lips with disdain on his face. He suddenly moved his body, and the short knife went straight to Li Qingge's throat. The short knife flashed coldly in the sunlight, like a poisonous snake ready to pounce on its prey.

"You used a killer move right from the start. How professional." Li Qingge's eyes lit up. She was not afraid, but smiled. Ever since she got the Nether Eye, she had always wanted to try this ability. Now the chance had come. Her smile was filled with confidence and expectation, as if she had already seen the outcome of victory.

In the blink of an eye, a faint blue light flashed in her eyes. That was the power of the Nether Eye, her unique weapon. The second brother's speed was as fast as lightning, but suddenly it slowed down, and it was getting slower and slower. It was as if time had frozen around him.

At this time, a mechanical voice sounded in Li Qingge's mind:

"Zhang Laoer, male, 28 years old, from the Black Tiger Gang."

"The martial art he used is called Dragon Sword Technique!"

"The Dragon Soaring Sword Technique is a combination of short sword and fist techniques. The movements are swift and fierce, like a dragon soaring and a tiger leaping."

"Now, you have automatically learned the Dragon Sword Technique. The time limit is one minute."

Following the prompting of the Nether Eye, the essence of the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique flooded into Li Qingge's mind like a flood, as clear as if it were real. She seemed to see the founder of the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique, wielding a short sword on the battlefield, invincible. Every detail and every change in the sword technique was deeply imprinted in her heart.

You know, most of the Dragon Sword Technique was lost twenty years ago, but what the Nether Eye restored was actually complete! Not only the essence, but also the flaws and flaws were clearly visible. For Zhang Laoer, it was like a matter of a second. His originally confident smile suddenly froze on his face, replaced by a look of fear and confusion.

As the Nether Eye stopped, time seemed to return to normal. The slow knife suddenly became extremely sharp and was in front of Li Qingge in a flash. However, Li Qingge just smiled slightly and slapped back. Her palm seemed to carry an invisible force, easily dissolving the sharp knife force into nothingness.

Snapped!
A crisp applause sounded, and the second brother screamed and flew out. Fortunately, he was caught by the bald man and the third brother, and did not fall directly to the ground. The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and confusion. They originally thought that their plan was perfect, but they did not expect it to be easily broken by this seemingly weak woman.

"You broke my Dragon Soaring Sword Skill with just one palm strike? Trash!" The second brother was so frightened that his face changed, as if he had seen a ghost. The move he had just used was the strongest move in the Dragon Soaring Sword Skill. He had intended to kill with one strike, but the opponent caught the flaw and broke it with just one palm strike. His heart was filled with resentment and anger, but more of it was fear.

Baldy and the third brother were stunned and speechless. They originally thought that they were strong enough, but now it seems that they were too naive. The strength of this woman was far beyond their imagination.

"The Dragon Soaring Sword Technique was originally very powerful, but unfortunately it has been lost. You treat it like a treasure, but it is actually just a joke." Li Qingge sighed, with a complicated expression. She felt sorry for the loss of the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique, but also found these people's ignorance ridiculous.

"How do you know the Longteng Sword Technique?" The three of them were stunned. They originally thought that no one knew their secrets, but now it seemed that this woman knew everything about them.

After Li Shimin became emperor, he restricted martial artists. The top martial artists either retired, became retainers of wealthy families, or hid in the mountains and forests. Some who were afraid of the court and the poor life entered the underground world. The Black Tiger Gang evolved from the inheritance of Longteng Sword Skills, which was a secret. But now, this secret seemed to be easily revealed by this woman.

"The Dragon Soaring Sword Technique is not something you can use, and the inheritance that the Black Tiger Gang has obtained is not real." Li Qingge said lightly. Her tone was full of confidence and majesty, as if she was the true successor of the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique.

"Lend me your sword, so you can see the real Longteng sword technique." She smiled, put the long sword on the ground, and stretched out her hand to ask the three people for the sword. There was a bit of teasing and provocation in her smile, as if she had seen their shocked expressions.

"Real Dragon Teng? The one we use is the real one. We are here to deal with you, how can we lend you the knife..." The bald man yelled angrily. Before he finished speaking, there was a flash of knife light, and the dagger disappeared!
Everyone gasped, and saw that the bald man's hands were empty. Li Qingge had returned to her original position, holding the short knife in her hand. Her movements were so fast, like a flash of lightning across the sky, making it impossible to catch her trajectory.

"How come he's so fast?"

"Could it be that he also knows the Dragon Soaring Body Technique?"

"What's going on?"

"He can't really know the Dragon Sword Technique, right?"

……

The three men were sweating profusely and retreated step by step with fear on their faces. They originally thought that they were strong enough, but now it seemed that they were as small as ants in front of this woman.

At first, they didn't believe Li Qingge's words, but now, they believe them a little. They looked at Li Qingge's confident smile, and their hearts were filled with fear and anxiety. They knew that this woman had grasped their lifeblood, and they could not escape her control.

Seeing the three of them, Li Qingge curled her lips, knowing that they already believed in the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique. But if she wanted them to believe it, she had to show the real Dragon Soaring Sword Technique. So, holding the short knife, she stretched out her body, like a dragon soaring and a tiger leaping, and showed the three people the real Dragon Soaring Sword Technique. Every movement in the sword technique was full of power and beauty, as if a real dragon was soaring in the sky. The three were stunned, and awe of Li Qingge arose in their hearts. They knew that this woman was no longer someone they could deal with at will.
