Chapter 32

Suddenly, time seemed to freeze, and an ominous feeling filled the air.

"Boss!" A gatekeeper rushed in, holding a huge brocade box tightly in his hands. His face was as white as a sheet of paper, and he was obviously terrified. His eyes were wide open, as if he had seen something horrible, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Hiss—" When everyone saw the brocade box, they were all stunned, their eyes full of surprise and anxiety. Their hearts beat as fast as drums, and they felt like they would jump out of their throats in the next second. The brocade box was still stained with blood that had not yet dried, which made people feel creepy, as if the blood still carried the residual warmth of life, telling unknown secrets.

"Who sent this?" Zhang Tiehu frowned, swallowed, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. There was a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his eyes, but as the gang leader, he couldn't show any panic.

"It's someone from the Raptors Gang. He said it's a gift for the gang leader." The younger brother's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously frightened by the sudden appearance of the brocade box.

"He put the things down and left without saying a word." He added, his body still trembling slightly, his eyes glancing at the bloodstained brocade box from time to time, his heart already extremely frightened.

The hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone's eyes were focused on the brocade box, and their hearts were beating like they were about to explode. The brocade box had a strange shape, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item. In addition, the blood that was still dripping down made people wonder if it contained a human head. When they thought that their beloved predecessor might have met with an accident and his body was split in half, everyone's heart ached.

"Alas! I wanted to learn some real Kung Fu from the seniors, but I didn't expect it to end like this." A young gang member sighed, his face full of disappointment and grief.

"It's so heartbreaking that the senior was found not long ago and he's gone in the blink of an eye!" Another gang member couldn't help but sigh. Their eyes were filled with nostalgia and admiration for Li Qingge.

Zhang Tiehu sighed to the sky, tears glistening in his eyes, and he couldn't calm down for a long time. He thought of Senior Li Qingge's kind smile and deep eyes, as if he could still hear his warm words. But now all this has become a bubble, how can he not be heartbroken?
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy, and everyone was immersed in sadness. The brothers of the Black Tiger Gang had always treated Senior Li Qingge as a close relative. Although he was young, his demeanor was like that of an elder. They had experienced ups and downs together and faced countless challenges and difficulties together. But now, they had to face such a cruel reality - their predecessor was no longer there.

The warmth did not last long, and turned into endless sorrow. Everyone could not help but sigh, and some even shed tears. They could not imagine how such a kind, gentle, and wise predecessor could suddenly leave them.

Zhang Tiehu sighed and walked to the brocade box with his hands behind his back. Although he was terribly scared, he knew that he was the gang leader and had to stay calm. He stared at the brocade box, as if trying to see something from the bloodstained surface.

"Senior, I didn't expect that our first meeting would be our final farewell." He murmured in a low voice, his voice filled with endless sadness and regret.

"I will bury your remains properly and let your heroic spirit rest in peace..." He continued, his voice firm and solemn. He knew that he had the responsibility to do the last thing for his predecessor, to let him get the respect and rest he deserved.

After saying these words, he mustered up the courage to open the brocade box. As a result, when he looked at it, his eyes widened bigger than copper bells, and he was unable to move as if he was frozen. That expression was simply amazing! It was as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Huh?" Even the gatekeeper came over curiously to take a look at the contents of the brocade box. The two looked at each other with surprise and confusion on their faces. What they saw was not the bloody head they imagined, but a letter!

"Did the senior die so tragically? Did he scare the gang leader like this?" a younger brother whispered.

"That's not right! The gang leader has seen a lot of storms, so how could he be afraid of a dead person? That is unless he was too sad to see the death of his predecessor." Another younger brother guessed.

"The gang leader is such a loyal person! Seeing a senior is like seeing his real father." A little brother sighed. Although his words were a bit exaggerated, they expressed everyone's recognition and appreciation of Zhang Tiehu's feelings.

Everyone was talking about it, but no one could come up with a clear answer. They were all guessing the contents of the letter and the real cause of Senior Li Qingge's death.

After a long while, everyone turned their eyes to the brocade box again. The result was the same as before, with eyes wide open and speechless. The brocade box could only hold a head! What else could it contain besides a head? But if it wasn't a head, then what could it be?

Could it be that the seniors were chopped into pieces by the Menglong Gang? And then sent here in batches? When they thought of this, they were so angry that they trembled all over, gnashing their teeth, and they wanted to find the Menglong Gang to settle the score immediately! Their eyes were full of anger and hatred, as if they wanted to chopped the Menglong Gang into pieces to relieve their hatred.

"Why is there only one letter in this box? What's with the bloodstains?" Zhang Tiehu came to his senses and found that there was no head in the brocade box, only a letter. He was stunned, and his heart was full of doubts and puzzlement. He was thinking about how to vent his grief, but this happened. It really caught him off guard!
He picked up the letter and looked at it carefully. He saw "Zhang Tiehu's personal letter" on the envelope, and the signature was the name of the leader of the Menglong Gang. His brows were furrowed, and his heart was full of doubts and uneasiness. He didn't know what was written in the letter, nor did he know why the leader of the Menglong Gang wrote this letter to him.

"Is this a tactic?" one of the younger brothers guessed. His words made everyone nervous, and they all clenched their fists, ready for the upcoming battle.

"That must be it! Senior went to the Menglong Gang because he had a dispute with them and then suffered from their murderous hands. The Menglong Gang leader was so angry that he issued a declaration of war to us!" Another younger brother said angrily. His words aroused the anger and hatred in everyone's hearts, and they all expressed their desire to avenge the senior!

"We must avenge this! We will fight till we are dead!" a gang member said with gritted teeth. His words made everyone's blood boil, and they all expressed their desire to seek justice for their predecessor!

"Yes! Even if they don't attack us, we will go to their doorstep to avenge our predecessors!" another gang member said angrily. His words made everyone respond, and they said they would unite as one to fight against the Menglong Gang!

"Shhh..." Zhang Tiehu tore open the envelope and started reading. The result surprised him! The content of the letter was not a declaration of war or provocation as they had imagined, but a letter full of apologies and explanations.

"Brother Tiehu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much! I wanted to visit you, but I couldn't because of too many things in the gang." The leader of the Menglong Gang wrote in the letter. His words surprised Zhang Tiehu. He didn't expect that the leader of the Menglong Gang would write him such a letter.

"Today, our master came to our gang in person. It's our honor! I heard that our master has a deep connection with our gang..." The leader of the Menglong Gang continued. His words surprised Zhang Tiehu even more. He didn't know who the master of the Menglong Gang was, nor did he know what connection he had with his gang. But this letter made him feel a little uneasy and confused. He knew that there must be some unknown secrets and conspiracies hidden behind this letter.

"I never thought that our two gangs were actually one family. This was really surprising and exciting. After listening to our common master's analysis, I realized how stupid the things we did before were. We almost cut off our roots." Zhang Tiehu sighed, his eyes full of emotion. He recalled the conflicts and struggles in the past, and regret surged in his heart.

"So, after thinking it over, I still have to ask Brother Tiehu to show some mercy. Let's stop fighting and live in peace together. We should listen to the advice of our elders and 'practice well and wait for the opportunity'..." The voice of Li Qingge, leader of the Menglong Gang, was soft and sincere. There was an indescribable majesty and affinity in her words that made people involuntarily convinced.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, Zhang Tiehu's eyes widened, his hands shook like a sieve, as if he was struck by lightning, and his heart was in a mess. He could never have imagined that this sudden letter would bring such shocking news.

"This...how can this be a declaration of war? It's clearly a letter of peace!" Zhang Tiehu muttered to himself, his doubts flooding in. He looked up at Li Qingge, trying to find a clue from her face, but her calm eyes made him even more confused.

When Zhang Tiesheng saw his father like this, he quickly ran forward with a frown on his face: "Dad, what's going on?" he asked anxiously, his heart full of curiosity and uneasiness about the unknown.

"Read it yourself." Zhang Tiehu smiled bitterly and handed the letter to his son. He couldn't express the confusion and shock in his heart in words.

Zhang Tiesheng took the letter and looked at it with a look of surprise, as if he had seen a ghost. He opened his eyes wide and read every word in the letter carefully, as if he wanted to find the answer in it.

"What exactly is written in the letter? How could it make the gang leader and the young master become like this?" The younger brother at the side couldn't help but ask, his eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

"It's not a declaration of war. If it was, the gang leader would have gotten mad and would have led us over." Another younger brother guessed, with a hint of relief and uneasiness in his tone.

"What is this?" Everyone was confused and asked at once. They gathered together, their eyes filled with desire and fear for the unknown.

"You can read it for yourselves." Zhang Tiesheng also smiled bitterly and handed the letter to everyone. He knew in his heart that the shock and change brought about by this letter would far exceed their imagination.

The letter was passed around among everyone, and the hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. After reading the letter, everyone was even more confused. Their doubts were not solved, but increased instead. They looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

This is too bizarre! The letter said that all the members of the Menglong Gang were subdued by the senior, and the senior was their leader. From the same source? Menglong swordsmanship and Longteng swordsmanship, the names sound similar, but they are actually very different. This statement of the same source is really confusing!

At first, no one believed it, but when they thought about the wisdom and courage of the leader of the Menglong Gang, if it wasn't true, how could he be so calm? Yes, they had heard of the reputation of Senior Li Qingge. Her wisdom and martial arts were both among the best in the world.

Longteng and Menglong are really a family. Senior Li Qingge is not only Longteng's, but also Menglong's. This news was like a flash of lightning, breaking through the fog in their hearts. They began to recall the words and deeds of their predecessors and found that there were indeed many similarities.

“But what the senior said about the origin of the sword technique sounds like it was passed down through a single thread.” A younger brother said doubtfully, his eyes full of exploration and desire for the unknown.

"Don't forget the Dragon Ball Family. They are so numerous and powerful, how could they be destroyed so easily? Maybe it's the hidden inheritance that the senior didn't mention." Another younger brother guessed, with a hint of excitement and anticipation in his tone.

"That makes sense. Longteng and Menglong are definitely from the same origin." Zhang Tiesheng nodded, his eyes flashing with determination and faith. He began to believe that this seemingly bizarre news actually concealed a profound truth.

"We fought against each other, and so many people died and were injured. Now we know the truth, and it's too late to regret." Everyone sighed, their hearts filled with regret and helplessness. They began to reflect on the various struggles and conflicts in the past, and found that they were full of meaningless sacrifices and waste.

The situation in the Raptors was quite different. They were as happy as if it was Chinese New Year. They gathered together, laughing and talking. They were thankful that they could avoid a meaningless fight, and they were also excited to find brothers from the same origin.

"Thanks to the reminder from the senior, otherwise we would have almost joined forces with the martial arts sects to fight against the masters of the imperial court." A younger brother said with emotion, his eyes full of gratitude and admiration for Li Qingge.

"There are many masters in the court. Fortunately, we didn't act rashly, otherwise we would be finished." Another younger brother echoed, with a hint of relief and fear in his tone. They began to realize that the fights and conflicts in the martial arts world were often caused by momentary impulse and ignorance.

"What I didn't expect was that Longteng and Heihu were actually brothers from the same sect. If we had known earlier, we should have developed together instead of fighting each other like this." A little brother said with a smile, his eyes full of expectations and longing for the future. They began to imagine that if the two gangs could work together, what a powerful force it would be!
"Master is so kind and has done so many great deeds!" Everyone looked out the door eagerly, and Li Qingge's figure gradually faded away. They were filled with gratitude and admiration for her, and were proud and honored to be her disciples. They all wished her immediate success and hoped that she could continue to contribute to the peace and prosperity of the martial arts world. As for Tang Meng, his face turned pale and he snorted, feeling so aggrieved. Senior? Bah! That kid must be a fake! He was full of disdain and suspicion for Li Qingge, thinking that she was just a fake. But... look at her hands, the knuckles were cracked, and the bandages were stained red with blood. Do you remember the scene when she broke the long sword with her flesh? That power was amazing! At that time, I knew that this kid was not simple. If we go against her, I'm afraid our Menglong Gang will be finished. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. What's more, she promised to teach us all the Raptor Sword Skills. Although this sounds like a dream, I have to believe it. Because if I don't believe it... then there is only one way to go! Tang Meng's heart was filled with helplessness and fear. He began to realize that facing a strong man like Li Qingge, their Raptor Gang had no way out.

At that time, Li Qingge had already ridden the horse from the Western Regions and rushed to other sects at lightning speed. Her figure stretched out in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a lightning bolt that cut through the sky, heroic and domineering. There was an unchanged arrogance on the corners of her mouth, and the words she said were still as domineering as before: "I am your master!" Her voice was crisp and firm, as if it could penetrate the clouds and hit people's hearts.

Time flies, and the sky darkens in the blink of an eye. The Jianghu seems calm, but in fact, it is turbulent. The people of the five major sects were stunned by the sudden news. They never expected that a seemingly insignificant girl would swagger into their territory and say the shocking words: "I am your master." When everyone heard this, they were furious, thinking that this little girl dared to call herself a master? It was a great shame! Especially the leaders of those sects, who felt that their wisdom was insulted, drew their swords and pointed at each other, and the sword light flashed like stars.

However, whenever the sword light approached, the golden silk soft armor on Li Qingge's body seemed to have life. The swords, spears, halberds, meteor hammers and other weapons did not even leave a mark, but made Li Qingge feel like they were tickled. A playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes revealed a bit of teasing. The leaders were stunned, muttering in their hearts, could this be the legendary golden bell cover or iron cloth shirt? But in fact, this golden silk soft armor is much more powerful than those. It emits a faint light, dissolving all attacks into nothingness.

"Raise fire to burn the sky!" "Split Mount Hua with force!" "Monkey steals peaches!"... Shouts of various martial arts echoed in the manor, but they were all dissolved by the golden soft armor. Li Qingge's figure was light and graceful, like a dancing butterfly, and she shuttled freely in the sword light. Her eyes revealed a bit of disdain and ridicule, as if saying: "With your little ability, you want to hurt me in the slightest?" In the end, the leaders of the major sects had to give in and changed their words: "Senior! We remember that you are indeed our respected master." After that, they were respectful and not only hosted a banquet to entertain him, but also proposed marriage proposals one after another, which was very lively.

When the sun sets, Li Qingge returns slowly on horseback. The afterglow of the setting sun shines on her back. Although the spirit horse from the Western Regions travels thousands of miles a day, it now looks exhausted, with its four hooves trembling. The former majestic horse seems to have disappeared, and it looks like a little donkey. Li Qingge yawns on the horse's back, thinking that although she has swept through six or seven sects without moving a single soldier today, she just wants to go home and lie on the bed for a good sleep. Her face shows a bit of fatigue and helplessness, but her eyes still flash with determination and pride.

"Li Shimin, Li Shimin, I'm really exhausted for you." Li Qingge sighed secretly in her heart, "If it weren't for this golden armor, I would have peed my pants long ago." She thought that if she wasn't rewarded with ten thousand acres of fertile land for this contribution, she would not give up. At the same time, she also realized that after the Nether Eye became ineffective, those martial arts were more threatening. Although the golden armor can withstand thousands of attacks, she can still feel a chill every time the sword is close. Especially the "monkey stealing peaches" move, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has been used by three masters, one of whom is even more happy to do it, which gives her a headache. Li Qingge's face was livid, and she suspected that the other party had some special hobbies, so she kicked him with a cold face to stop his evil deeds. Her movements were clean and neat, without a trace of drag.

"Should we report today's battle record to Li Shimin first?" Li Qingge patted his lips, yawned, pinched the horse's belly and continued to move forward. Although the horse was trembling, it still moved forward firmly in the direction of Chang'an City. Both the man and the horse were exhausted, as if they had walked a long march of thousands of miles. When they arrived in the city, it was already late, and people were strolling and eating on the streets, which was more lively than during the day. Suddenly, everyone's attention was attracted by a scene at the city gate: a man rode a horse that was about to fall down slowly, the man dozed off on the horse, and the horse was shaky. This scene was simply ridiculous.

"Haha! These two are a perfect match!" "Where did this weird combination come from?" "Is this woman here to make people laugh?" The people were talking without any malice, and their laughter and discussions intertwined to form a vivid picture of the city. The people in the underworld were bolder, and some even laughed out loud. Their laughter was filled with a bit of disdain and ridicule, as if they were watching a good show.

At this time, several masters came over with solemn faces. They were wearing the clothes of various sects, and their eyes revealed a sense of majesty and inviolability. They raised their hands and slapped the few people who laughed out loud. The action was clean and neat, without a trace of drag. "Fuck!" "Who is it?" "How dare you do it!" The people who were beaten drew their swords in anger, and their eyes revealed a bit of anger and unwillingness. But then they were stunned, and realized with cold sweat that the other party was not an ordinary person.

"From the Dragon and Tiger Sect!" "From the Sky Wind Sect!" "From the Sky Frost Pavilion!" People then realized that this was not the work of one sect but a joint action of multiple sects. In Chang'an City, these sects were powerful and some people in the court could not afford to offend them. Those who drew their swords were suddenly embarrassed and in a dilemma: if they took action, they were afraid of causing greater disasters; if they did not take action, they would lose face. Their faces showed a bit of helplessness and embarrassment, as if they were slapped in the face in public.

"Ahem... why did you hit me?" A beaten man asked bravely, with some reluctance and anger in his voice. But the masters just looked at him coldly, and then said in unison: "Those who insult the master should be beaten!" "Open your eyes and don't make the same mistake again. There are so many people today that we can't take action, otherwise..." There was a sense of majesty and inviolability in their voices, which made people around them feel a chill. Those who were beaten didn't dare to speak anymore, but just stood there awkwardly, in a dilemma. Li Qingge rode slowly past on horseback, her eyes revealing a bit of playfulness and ridicule, as if she was watching a good show. A faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then she disappeared into the night.

Suddenly, there was a "hissing" sound, like a sharp blade cutting through the silent night sky. Everyone in the room was stunned. Even the people outside looked at each other, their faces changed with surprise, as if they were frozen in place by an invisible force.

"What's going on? How did this guy become our master?" Everyone was confused, frowning, and couldn't figure it out. They came from different sects, each with a long history and unique heritage. How could they have the same master? Is this a joke? Everyone was muttering in their hearts, very surprised. But when they saw the knife in his hand, the cold light seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and they shrank their necks in fear, knowing that he was not easy to mess with, so it was better to get away quickly.

Those martial arts masters also left reluctantly, still full of doubts in their hearts. How could these famous sects, all of whom were outstanding in the martial arts world, worship the same master? Moreover, this master was a girl who looked a little tired, with a thin figure and a pretty face, but her eyes revealed a determination that should not be underestimated. It was really hard to understand.

As for Li Qingge, she rode the old horse, as if isolated from the world, and didn't notice anything unusual around her. She was wearing a simple blue shirt, and her sleeves swayed gently in the wind, like a blue lotus floating in the wind. She let the old horse carry her back to the house. Along the way, the lights on the street shone on her face, reflecting a hint of fatigue. When she got home, she loosened the reins, yawned, walked into the bedroom, and fell asleep, as if all her fatigue had found a home at this moment.

At this time, Li Shimin was in the imperial study, wearing casual clothes, holding an ancient book in his hand, immersed in the sea of ​​books. He suddenly raised his head and looked out the door, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes. After a while, a strong man hurried in, knelt on one knee, and reported solemnly: "General Cheng visited the Black Tiger Gang and several other sects today, but their door control was very strict, and I couldn't get in, so I don't know the details." After saying this, he still looked ashamed, as if he felt that he had not completed his mission.

"Well, I understand." Li Shimin nodded and did not blame him. The sects in the martial arts world are deeply rooted, powerful, and have many masters. Even the government has to respect them and dare not offend them easily. Li Shimin once ordered not to have conflicts with the martial arts world, fearing that once they get angry, it will shake the stability of the entire country. He is well aware of the delicate balance between the martial arts world and the court, and dare not break it easily.

The warrior hesitated for a moment, then said, "But your majesty, when General Cheng left, the masters of those sects all smiled as they saw him off. This is really strange."

"Smiling and seeing off? This..." Li Shimin was stunned. This was very different from what he expected. According to Li Qingge's plan, she should go to the sect to show her strength and let the martial arts world know that the masters of the Tang Dynasty are not so easy to mess with. He thought there would be a battle of swords and even blood. But why is it a scene of smiling and seeing off now? He really couldn't figure it out, and frowned, as if trying to find the answer.

"Go and call General Cheng. I want to ask him in person. At the same time, call all the civil and military officials to discuss this matter together." Li Shimin put down the book in his hand and his expression became solemn. He knew the seriousness of this matter. If it was not handled properly, it might cause disputes between the Jianghu and the court.

"Yes!" The warrior retreated in a hurry, as if he also felt the urgency of the matter.

Li Shimin frowned, his eyes deep, as if he could see through everything. He sat on the dragon throne, staring ahead, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. The development of things has exceeded his expectations, which makes him even more puzzled. The details in the secret report seem to show that the progress is going well, but the actual situation is very different from expectations. This made him doubt Li Qingge's ability.

"What did you do? Did you convince them with emotion and reason? Those people are not so easily moved." Li Shimin smiled bitterly and shook his head. He really didn't know how Li Qingge did it. He knew the temperament of the people in the martial arts world. They were all unruly and it was not easy to make them convinced.

As night fell, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness. Li Qingge stretched and got up leisurely. She opened the door of her green field and looked around carefully. The green field seemed to be her secret garden, full of various vegetables and grains, each plant was full of vitality and green.

She went to the back garden and studied the seeds of various vegetables and grains. She squatted on the ground and carefully observed each seed, as if she was looking for something. Although she had a thousand acres of fertile land, the breeding work had to be carried out in the back garden because the soil here was much better than that of ordinary fields, rich in various nutrients, and was an excellent place for breeding.

She stroked the ripe wheat, squeezed out the grains, and a look of joy appeared on her face: "Great! These seeds that I carefully cultivated are all top quality. Although they have not yet been used in the one thousand acres of fertile land, if they are sown among the people, they will surely have a bumper harvest." Her eyes flashed with anticipation, as if she had already seen the scene of a bumper harvest.

"These seeds are resistant to disasters and insects, and will surely greatly increase the grain production of the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps they can continue the foundation of prosperity for many more years." Li Qingge nodded in satisfaction. She did not want to rewrite history, but wanted to do her best to benefit the people. Her so-called "inaction" did not mean to do nothing, but to work hard in secret and use her wisdom and strength to change the world.

Although she usually looks a little lazy, she is always concerned about the people. She knows that food is the lifeline of the people. Only when there is enough food can the people live and work in peace and the country can be long-term and stable. Now that the seeds are ripe, she decided to collect them and prepare for tomorrow's sowing.

But the Cheng Mansion was too noisy with people coming and going, so it was inconvenient to use the old cow from the Heavenly Palace to help. So she did it herself, sweating profusely. She held the basket in one hand and skillfully picked the ripe seeds with the other hand, her movements were agile and powerful. Finally, she collected a basket full of seeds and stored them in her green field, as if she was planting seeds of hope for tomorrow's sowing.

She decided to go to the thousand acres of fertile land to harvest and sow these excellent seeds tomorrow. The previous sowing was just a test, but after this improvement, she believed that she would be able to get a more fruitful harvest. Her heart was full of expectations and longings, as if she could already see the golden wheat field swaying in the breeze.

It was late at night, and the moon was hanging in the sky, casting a soft glow. Li Qingge wanted to make something delicious to reward herself. She walked into the kitchen and started to get busy. Just then, a little eunuch ran in hurriedly: "General Cheng! His Majesty summons you!"

"Is it so urgent? Then I'll go wash my face first." Li Qingge smiled bitterly and sighed, "Those who are capable should do more work! There's nothing we can do about it." She knew that as General Cheng, she shouldered important missions and responsibilities and could not slack off easily.

"I'm waiting for you here." The young eunuch said with a smile, but he was muttering in his heart: This kid is really arrogant because of his favor! He was not in a hurry to respond to the summons of His Majesty. He is really arrogant! However, he didn't know that Li Qingge was not really arrogant, but had her own rhythm and plan. She knew her mission and responsibility, and she was also clear about her ability and value. She would not waver in her beliefs and determination because of temporary gains and losses.

It was said that a mysterious master suddenly appeared in the martial arts world, and all the sects respected him as their master. This was a big deal. For a time, there was a lot of discussion in Chang'an City, and the topic of conversation after dinner was inseparable from this sudden appearance of the hermit master.

"Oh my! Isn't this the master who has been living in seclusion for many years? How come he suddenly shows up? This is not a good thing. Our Tang Dynasty is keeping a close eye on the sects in the martial arts world, and suddenly such a strong man shows up. Isn't this just adding to the trouble?" An elderly tea drinker shook his head and said worriedly.

"Is it some monster coming out of the world?" The boy next to him also joined in the fun, with a terrified expression on his face.

The incident became more and more serious, and the whole city of Chang'an was in an uproar. The civil and military officials were also very anxious. If the emperor could send a capable person to deal with it, perhaps it could be resolved. But he sent the unreliable Li Qingge. What should they do?
Back when the martial arts world was not so chaotic, General Cheng could handle everything when he showed up. Now that Master has shown up, all the sects are obedient, and the situation has become even more complicated. All the civil and military officials frowned, sighed, and were very anxious.

If the masters in the martial arts world lose control, it will be a big deal. If the Tang Dynasty cannot handle it well, a small fight may turn into a big war. At that time, if foreigners take the opportunity to interfere, the consequences will be disastrous. Don't think that this is just a small matter in the martial arts world. In fact, it is related to the fate of our Tang Dynasty. Now this matter has been handed over to a group of unreliable people, how can we not be anxious!

The officials decided to meet the emperor and talk about this matter in detail, and quickly replace the person. Replace? Anyone is fine, at least better than that Li Qingge kid!
Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and the others looked at each other, their faces all very solemn. They had also heard about the Master, but they just didn't know who this Master was. They only knew that this person was very mysterious, and there might be even more terrifying forces behind him.

How would Li Qingge deal with this kid? Everyone was unsure.

"Please come in, everyone!" A young eunuch waved his whisk and said with a smile. His voice was clear and pleasant, as if it could dispel the heavy atmosphere in the hall.

When the officials heard this, they rushed into the hall and took their positions, all eager to try. They were all holding back their anger and wanted to persuade the emperor to change people.

Change Li Qingge? This matter cannot be delayed! If it is delayed any further, there will be big problems.

"Your Majesty! Rumors are spreading in Chang'an City, saying that the master called himself the master and paraded around the city. As a result, he was laughed at by the onlookers and beaten by the gangsters." An old minister stood up and said anxiously.

"Now that all the sects have united, there must be some big shots backing them up. Master might be the mastermind behind this." Another minister echoed.

"I request a city-wide search! As long as we catch our master, all problems will be solved." An old minister stepped forward and said bluntly. His eyes were firm, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. All the ministers nodded in agreement.

As soon as Master appears, there must be a powerful force following him. If Master is captured, that powerful force will have nowhere to hide. The iron cavalry and famous generals of the Tang Dynasty will surely be able to solve this matter quickly if they join forces. This is the common opinion of all the ministers.

"Master? What does this mean?" Li Shimin was stunned when he heard it. His brows were furrowed, and he was obviously very confused by this sudden news.
