Chapter 33

"Indeed... this matter is not easy to handle." Li Shimin nodded, and his doubts in his heart became heavier. He pondered for a while, then looked up at the ministers, "How come such a person suddenly appeared in the martial arts world? Why have I never heard of him? What is this kid Li Qingge doing? Not only did he fail to solve the problem, but he also attracted stronger help. Did I trust him too much? Or is he not as smart as I thought?"

Thinking of this, Li Shimin had a terrible headache. He rubbed his temples with his hands, trying to relieve the pain.

"Your Majesty, we must quickly capture our Master. Now that he has shown up, we cannot miss this opportunity." Changsun Wuji requested. His voice was firm and powerful, and he was clearly confident in capturing his Master.

"What do you think, Mr. Fang?" Li Shimin asked Fang Xuanling. His eyes revealed a kind of expectation and trust.

"I also think this is the right thing to do," Fang Xuanling replied. His voice was steady and powerful, giving people a sense of reassurance.

"Your Majesty, please give orders quickly!"

"We will immediately conduct a search and arrest and will not show any leniency!"

"If he leaves Chang'an, the clues will be lost, and it will be difficult to control the martial arts world." All the officials requested. They all thought that the master was a big fish, and if they missed it, it would be gone.

"This..." Li Shimin hesitated for a moment, "Let's wait for Cheng Qing." His heart was filled with hesitation and uncertainty. This matter might not be that simple. If he didn't listen to Li Qingge, he would always feel uneasy.

Cheng Qing? All the officials were stunned when they heard this. They looked at each other with dark lines on their faces. That kid is late again! The emperor is not angry and wants to wait for him? In the past, ministers were kicked out for being a few steps late. The emperor hates being late the most. Who dares to make such a mistake? Now Li Qingge is late, not only is he not punished, but the emperor still wants to wait for him? Is this fair!
The officials were confused. This matter was getting more and more complicated. Cheng Yaojin was afraid that he would be cuckolded. They were all holding back their anger and wanted to see what Li Qingge was capable of.

At this moment, Li Qingge's lazy voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, I am late." She yawned and walked in slowly. Her figure was light and elegant, like a breeze blowing through the hall.

[I thought I would feel more energetic after the holiday, but I am still so tired.] Li Qingge muttered to herself. Her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue, but there was a faint smile on her face.

[The Nether Eye is too exhausting, no wonder I can only use it three times a day, and each time can't exceed one minute. It turns out that I'm overdrawing my energy!] She thought as she walked to her seat and sat down. Her movements were graceful and calm, as if everything was under her control.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me." After saying this, she apologized as usual. Her voice was clear and pleasant, as if it could dispel the heavy atmosphere in the hall. Although she looked a little tired, her eyes revealed a kind of firmness and confidence. It seemed that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she could handle them calmly.

The night was falling, the moon was shining, and the glazed tiles of the palace were shining with a cool brilliance under the moonlight. Li Shimin's laughter was particularly loud in this quiet night. He stood in the center of the hall with a warm and gentle smile on his face, as if he could dispel all the coldness.

"Why are you here so late? We've just started, you're not late." He laughed loudly, his eyes full of doting.

The officials around him saw this and felt uncomfortable. They were secretly angry and their teeth were chattering. Really! His Majesty's favor for this guy is beyond common sense, even his own son can't compare to him! They were dissatisfied in their hearts, but they dared not express it, so they could only bury this jealousy and envy deep in their hearts.

"Just the beginning? We've been standing for so long, our legs are almost numb!" Everyone was so angry. This kid came so late, not only was he not punished, but he was also tolerated by His Majesty. It really made people envious and jealous. They all exchanged their dissatisfaction with each other with their eyes, but no one dared to stand up and say a word.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Qingge quickly bowed and wanted to return to her seat. She was wearing a light blue shirt, with fluttering sleeves, like a blue lotus emerging from the water, pure and elegant. Her face was delicate, and her eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit that made people unable to help but be moved.

"Please wait a moment, Minister Cheng." Li Shimin slowly raised his hand, his smile still as kind as ever. "Your plan has been implemented. How is the effect?" His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he had full confidence in Li Qingge.

Li Qingge was about to answer when she suddenly remembered the system's reminder that she should not publicize her achievements too much, lest the reward go down the drain. So she suddenly had an idea and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I am guilty! Those people in the martial arts world are too difficult to deal with. I have worn out my lips and they still haven't moved at all. This is all my fault." After saying that, she sighed deeply, looking very frustrated. Her eyes revealed a bit of helplessness and self-blame, as if she was really sad about her failure.

When Li Shimin heard this, his smile immediately disappeared, and an embarrassed look appeared on his face. He thought to himself, this guy is usually very smart, and he had vowed before that he could quickly quell the turmoil in the rivers and lakes, how come he has become like this now? He was full of doubts and puzzlement, and his eyes revealed a bit of exploration.

The officials looked at each other, as if they had expected this guy to be incompetent. They were secretly glad that His Majesty had finally realized this guy's incompetence.

"Cheng Aiqing, this is not your fault. Maybe something unexpected happened." Li Shimin consoled her with a wry smile. His eyes were full of understanding and tolerance, as if he really felt sorry for Li Qingge's failure.

"Change? What change?" Li Qingge was surprised. Her eyes revealed a bit of curiosity and confusion, as if she was really surprised by this change.

"A master suddenly appeared in the martial arts world, and the various sects became more united because of this. No one can touch them." Chang Sun Wuji stepped forward to help. His voice was steady and powerful, as if he was exonerating Li Qingge.

Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others also stood up to speak well of Li Qingge. The officials were all stunned, wondering what was going on. They exchanged doubts and confusion with each other through their eyes, but no one dared to stand up and say a word.

Li Qingge was also shocked: [These old officials always bully me, why did they suddenly change their ways today? Are they conquered by my beauty? ] Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile confidently, her hair fluttering in the wind. Her smile revealed a bit of pride and confidence, as if she was really confident in her charm.

Li Shimin saw this and secretly laughed at the girl's narcissism, but he had to admit that she was indeed quite charming. His eyes revealed a bit of admiration and recognition, as if he was really attracted by Li Qingge's charm.

"My dear ministers, you are right. We need to discuss this matter of our master carefully." Li Shimin said thoughtfully. His eyes revealed a bit of solemnity and deep thought, as if he was really worried about this matter of his master.

At this moment, a subtle voice came into Li Qingge's ears. It was her own voice: "Master? Are you referring to me? News spreads very quickly among the world, but they don't know the truth yet." There was a bit of surprise and pride in her voice, as if she was really surprised and proud of her identity.

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Li Qingge in disbelief, and then quickly regained his composure, but his heart was already in turmoil. His eyes revealed a bit of shock and confusion, as if he was really shocked by Li Qingge's identity.

Li Qingge's thoughts continued, and the content was even more shocking: "Those old ministers look loyal, but they are actually full of evil intentions. I don't know what they are thinking about secretly. Fortunately, I didn't reveal the truth, otherwise I would be in trouble again." There was a hint of pride and cunning in her voice, as if she was really proud of her own wit.

When Li Shimin heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. His facial muscles trembled slightly, and he was shocked in his heart: [This person is actually the master? It's incredible! ] His eyes revealed a bit of disbelief and shock, as if he was really shocked by Li Qingge's identity and couldn't speak.

Li Qingge hadn't finished speaking yet: "I only used a little trick to make everyone in the martial arts world treat me as their lord. They have to report everything to me first. This way, the Tang Dynasty can rest easy." There was a hint of pride and complacency in her voice, as if she was really satisfied with her strategy.

As soon as these words came out, Li Shimin was frozen in time, too shocked to speak. He finally understood that this guy was no ordinary person, he was the real mastermind behind the scenes! His eyes revealed a bit of admiration and shock, as if he was really impressed by Li Qingge's wisdom and tactics. He thought to himself, this girl is really amazing, she can actually come up with such a strategy to quell the chaos in the rivers and lakes. It seems that the future of the Tang Dynasty is really promising!

Li Shimin's heart was like a raging sea, one wave after another, and he couldn't stop at all. He sat on the dragon throne, his golden dragon robe gleaming faintly under the candlelight. On his majestic face, a look of shock flashed by, and he immediately regained his composure, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth. He deliberately hid it and acted with the young man, fearing that the news would leak out. In the hall, all officials stood in a solemn atmosphere, but no one dared to make a sound.

"My dear Cheng, do you have any advice on this matter?" Li Shimin asked with a smile, his eyes full of expectation, as if he was really seeking the opinion of an important official. His voice was gentle and deep, with a majesty that could not be ignored.

"This master is definitely not an ordinary person! We have to investigate thoroughly, maybe we can find a solution." Li Qingge quickly clasped her fists and saluted, her words were decisive, and her acting skills were impeccable. She was dressed in a light blue official uniform, with a jade belt around her waist, looking heroic, and her eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit. But she was secretly happy in her heart: [Investigate, investigate, everyone in the martial arts world worships me as a god, how could they betray me? Even if you investigate for ten days or half a month, don't think of finding my true identity.] Her eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, and the corners of her mouth curled up with an imperceptible smile.

Li Qingge is best at keeping a low profile and leaving no trace. She is very confident that even if the whole world is turned upside down, no one can find her shadow. Moreover, she has other thoughts in doing this, but no one can see the secret hidden in her smile. Her thoughts are like the deep night sky, dotted with stars, but no one can understand its meaning.

"Investigate the master thoroughly?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he started to think: "Isn't this guy the master himself? Why does he need someone to investigate? Is he so confident that he is not afraid of being found out? Or does he have some magic that can make him invisible so that no one can find him?" Thinking of this, Li Shimin felt a little relieved and followed Li Qingge's play. There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, as if he had seen through Li Qingge's tricks, but was willing to cooperate.

He knew that Li Qingge must have a way to deal with those troubles. Although he didn't know how to do it, everyone in the martial arts world respected her as a teacher, so she must have some outstanding qualities. So he deliberately changed the subject and asked other ministers for their opinions: "What do you think?" His voice was gentle and majestic, as if he was really asking for everyone's opinions.

The ministers all agreed. Zhangsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling were even more anxious to find out the identity of their master so that the country could be stable. They all looked anxious, as if they were really worried about the safety of the country. Li Shimin nodded and ordered the government to find out the truth within three days. His voice was firm and powerful, as if he was really determined about this matter.

When talking about Li Qingge, the old ministers narrowed their eyes, waiting to see what would happen next. They all had cunning looks on their faces, as if they had seen through Li Qingge's tricks, but were happy to see how she would end. However, Li Shimin gently comforted Li Qingge and gave her the Calming Jade Dew as a reward. When the ministers saw this, they were all stunned, feeling unbalanced in their hearts: "This girl obviously failed in her duty, but she was rewarded instead of being punished? What's the logic!" They all looked dissatisfied, as if they were very puzzled by Li Shimin's reward.

But Li Qingge didn't care at all. She accepted the reward generously and thanked Li Shimin. Her face was filled with joy, as if she was really happy about the reward. No one dared to speak in the court. Everyone knew that Li Shimin and Li Qingge had a special relationship, and no one wanted to get into trouble. They all looked in awe, as if they were very afraid of the relationship between Li Shimin and Li Qingge.

"If there is nothing else, let's adjourn the court." Li Shimin waved his hand and took the eunuch back to the inner palace. He was so happy in his heart. The turmoil in the martial arts world could have been very serious, but Li Qingge easily settled it. He had a premonition that good things were about to happen, and couldn't help but sigh: "My dear, you are really the lucky star of my Tang Dynasty! God allows me to hear your voice and make us as kings and ministers. God bless the Tang Dynasty!" After saying this, he walked away with brisk steps, his face filled with joy. His back looked even taller and more majestic under the candlelight, as if he was really blessed by God.

Li Qingge stood there, looking at Li Shimin's departing back, with a meaningful smile on her lips. Her heart was full of confidence and pride, as if she had seen the future victory. She knew that no matter how turbulent the storm in the martial arts world was, she had the ability to calm it down. Because she was Li Qingge, the lucky star of the Tang Dynasty, and a legend in the martial arts world.

As the night deepened, the moonlight sprinkled on the earth like water, covering this prosperous capital with a layer of mysterious silver gauze. Li Qingge strolled alone under the palace wall, enjoying this rare tranquility. Her thoughts were as complicated as the stars in the night sky, with both longing for the future and memories of the past.

She recalled the scene when she first entered the martial arts world. At that time, she was still an ignorant girl, full of curiosity and yearning for the world. With her extraordinary talent and courage, she made a name for herself in the martial arts world and became a respected master. Along the way, she experienced countless ups and downs and witnessed the grievances and hatreds in the martial arts world. She knew the complexity and cruelty of this world, but she never gave up the pursuit of beautiful things.

Now, she has become an important official of the Tang Dynasty, shouldering the safety of the country and the stability of the martial arts world. She knows that she has a heavy responsibility, but she has never been afraid of challenges. Because she believes in her own ability and wisdom, and believes that no matter what difficulties she encounters, she can find a solution.

The night breeze brushed her cheeks, bringing a touch of coolness and comfort. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the rare tranquility and peace. She knew that no matter what challenges and difficulties she would encounter in the future, she would continue to move forward unswervingly and use her own strength to protect the beauty and peace of this world.

As the night deepened and the moonlight shone like water, Li Qingge slowly walked out of the hall. Every step seemed so heavy, she yawned continuously, and her eyes were full of sleepiness. Her clothes swayed gently, like the softest wind in the night sky, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue. Inside the hall, as she left, it seemed as if the wind and clouds suddenly surged. The ministers looked at each other, their eyes flashing with astonishment and confusion. This sudden change undoubtedly became the biggest mystery in their hearts.

"What is going on? General Cheng failed to complete the emperor's task and knew nothing about our master. We know this, but he acts as if nothing has happened. The emperor is so majestic on weekdays, why is he so tolerant today?" A minister whispered, his brows full of confusion.

"Yes, the emperor is not angry. Instead, he gives rewards and smiles. It's really puzzling." Another minister echoed, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Your Majesty has always been fair and selfless. His actions today are really unusual." The third minister murmured, with a hint of confusion in his tone.

Everyone's eyes turned to Wei Zheng. This important official who was known for his outspokenness and courage to remonstrate was unusually silent today. Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, and he walked away leisurely with his hands behind his back, leaving behind a lot of speculation and doubt.

"Mr. Wei usually speaks his mind and doesn't even give the emperor face. Why is he so silent today?" a minister asked in confusion, his eyes full of inquiry.

"There must be something behind this." Another minister responded in a low voice, with a thoughtful gleam in his eyes.

"Perhaps we think too simply. Duke Wei must have his considerations for his silence." The third minister guessed, with a bit of awe in his tone.

"What is the emperor's intention?" Another minister couldn't help but ask, his brows full of curiosity.

"Is it related to General Cheng?" someone asked, with a searching look in his eyes.

"What does it have to do with General Cheng if the emperor indulges his son so much?" another minister asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty is extremely wise, and there must be a hidden purpose behind his actions. If I am not mistaken, this matter must be related to General Cheng." An old minister said slowly, with some certainty in his tone.

"I heard that General Cheng has been in poor health recently and has been worried about his son. Perhaps the emperor sent a master to help secretly to reassure General Cheng." Someone speculated. When this was said, everyone suddenly realized and praised the emperor's thoughtfulness. However, after Wei Zheng left the hall, his face gradually darkened, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself: "The emperor's intentions, how can you easily guess?"

"Although that kid often fails to complete his mission, he always manages to turn danger into safety. On the surface, it seems irrelevant, but in fact, it is full of mysteries." Wei Zheng shook his head and sighed softly. He knew in his heart that the emperor's mind was unfathomable.

The moonlight was bright, illuminating Cheng Yaojin's residence. In the martial arts training ground, a figure was as agile as flying, swinging two axes with vigorous force. He was sweating, his eyes were like torches, and he was majestic. This person was Cheng Yaojin, who did not look sick at all, but was as strong as an ox. If those old ministers saw this scene, they would be scared to death.

When Li Qingge returned home, she was exhausted and fell asleep. The day's hard work made her feel sleepy. Although she didn't notice it when she returned, she felt sleepy again after the emperor's tossing. "Ding!" The system suddenly sent a message: "Host, you hide your merits and don't show off. I will grant you the 'Do Nothing and Lie Flat Award'." Li Qingge fell asleep without even reading it, muttering in her heart: "Just give me the award, don't disturb my sleep!"

Not long after, "Ding!" The system sent another message: "Even the top rewards can't shake your determination to lie down, so we double the equipment critical strike reward!" However, Li Qingge was sleeping like a pig and was completely unaware of all this. The surroundings returned to peace again.

The next morning, the sun rose and everything woke up. Li Qingge woke up yawning, rubbing her sleepy eyes, still looking a little confused. "Oh, it's time to go to the fields." After saying that, she refreshed herself, quickly washed and ate, then rode a fast horse and leisurely went to the fields. At this time, the morning market in Chang'an City was very lively, with people coming and going. When everyone saw Li Qingge, they all laughed secretly, but no one dared to say anything.

"Although this person has outstanding appearance, why is she so listless?" Everyone was discussing privately, but no one knew her secret last night. Li Qingge rode a horse, passing through the bustling streets, and the breeze brushed across her cheeks, taking away a trace of fatigue. Her heart was full of expectations for the future. No matter how turbulent yesterday was, today's sunshine was still warm, and life would continue. And those secrets and speculations about her, like the wind in Chang'an City, blew gently and then quietly dissipated.

"Oh, it's really strange! This kid from the Cheng family, who was originally inconspicuous, can actually become a general. God must be joking!" An old man dressed in coarse cloth shook his head, his face full of confusion and surprise, as if this incident overturned his cognition for many years.

"His father was a world-famous warrior, but when it comes to this kid, the saying 'like father, like son' doesn't seem to be true." A chubby woman nearby, holding a basket of freshly bought vegetables, also joined the discussion, smiling so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

The people around were shaking their heads, some even talking loudly and laughing without paying attention to the fact that Li Qingge was not far away. There was a hint of teasing and confusion in their words, as if this matter had become their best topic of conversation after dinner.

Li Qingge turned a deaf ear to these gossips, just like a gust of wind blowing by, leaving nothing behind. She rode on a tall horse, with an upright posture and a heroic look between her eyebrows. She was so happy in her heart. How could these people understand the benefits of ruling by doing nothing? Moreover, the earth-shaking things she had done before were all thanks to the mysterious inaction system. This matter could not be told casually, otherwise it would scare people to death. However, the rewards given by the system were indeed tempting, so she was happy to continue to hide it.

"Hey? It seems the system gave me something last night?" Li Qingge pondered in her heart, with a playful smile on her lips. Her eyes were shining with curiosity and anticipation, like a mysterious gift waiting to be opened.

"Forget it, no rush. Let me take a look at the thousand acres of fertile land." Having made up her mind, she urged her horse and galloped leisurely towards the fertile land.

The breeze was blowing, the sky was clear blue, and a few white clouds were floating leisurely. Li Qingge rode her horse through the green fields, feeling particularly relaxed. She almost wanted to lie down and take a nap again, but when she thought about checking the system's rewards, she resisted the urge to sleep.

She quietly activated the hidden button of the green field, silently chanting a spell in her heart. In the blink of an eye, the wasteland in front of her turned into a golden wheat field, with waves of wheat rolling and the air filled with the fragrance of harvest, as if even the sky had become higher and bluer.

Li Qingge took a deep breath and beamed with joy. "The harvest is getting better every year, it's really gratifying!" Her eyes sparkled with satisfaction and pride, as if this golden wheat field was a masterpiece she had painted herself.

"All the wheat from these thousand acres of land can be stored in the system warehouse for emergency use." She thought to herself, with a wise smile on her face. She knew what these grains meant to the Tang Dynasty.

"The Tang Dynasty has been hit by natural disasters and man-made disasters over the years. These grains will be of great use when the time comes." She whispered to herself, her eyes revealing deep worry and concern. She knew that all her efforts were for the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"We still need the help of Mr. Qian to spread this kindness." She smiled slightly, and she had already made up her mind. She knew that Mr. Qian's prestige and influence in Chang'an City were enough to spread this kindness to more people.

After saying that, Li Qingge smiled slightly and summoned the old bull from the Heavenly Palace. The old bull roared and rushed straight into the sky. The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and the sun and moon lost their light, as if even the heaven and earth were shaken.

The people of Chang'an were all stunned, looking up at the change in the sky with a look of disbelief on their faces. They discussed and speculated whether it was God's will or man's will.

People in the Astronomical Observatory were also in a state of panic, with many discussions. "The stars were fine yesterday, how come the weather suddenly changed?" An elderly astronomer frowned, his face full of confusion and worry.

"Does this strange phenomenon in the sky mean that something big is going to happen in the Tang Dynasty?" Another young astronomer joined the discussion, his voice trembling with anxiety.

"The Tang Dynasty has been hit by many disasters recently. We must observe the celestial phenomena carefully tonight. Maybe we can see something." The person in charge of the Astronomical Observatory said in a deep voice, his eyes revealing deep worry and determination.

The people in the Astronomical Observatory all had serious expressions on their faces, busy observing the celestial phenomena, but no one could figure out what was going on. They only knew that this strange phenomenon from the sky was definitely not an ordinary thing.

At this time, the old cow in Tiangong had finished harvesting and quickly entered the system storage compartment. Li Qingge stored the wheat in the warehouse of Qingcong Domain. Although he didn't touch the real thing, he felt so satisfied in his heart, as if he had harvested the whole world.

When she felt better, she thought about going to talk to Mr. Qian. But after taking a few steps, she remembered the reward from the system last night. "I almost forgot. The system gave me a good thing while I was asleep last night." She thought to herself, with an expectant smile on her face.

"I am famous in the martial arts world, but I have never revealed my true identity. This reward must be related to the martial arts world." She had a plan in mind, and opened the system storage compartment with great interest. She saw a black token lying there quietly, with ancient characters engraved on it. Although it was blurred, it exuded an extraordinary aura.

"What is this?" She muttered to herself, with a gleam of curiosity in her eyes. She lightly tapped it, and the token was in her hand. It was heavy and cold, and it was definitely not an ordinary item.

"It's made of bronze and so heavy, it must be a treasure." She secretly admired it in her heart, with a happy smile on her face. She carefully examined the token, trying to find out its purpose and origin.

"How do I use this thing?" She scratched her head and smiled bitterly. Although she knew it was a good thing, she couldn't figure out how to use it without a systematic explanation. However, she always felt that this token had an inexplicable connection with her Dantian Qi, and it was definitely not something from the mortal world.

"Looking at this, it looks like a token that can summon people. Could it be some heavenly soldiers or generals?" She guessed secretly in her heart, but shook her head. She knew that this token must be related to the martial arts world and it was unlikely to be a summons for heavenly soldiers or generals.

"How do I use it?" She scratched her head again and decided to put it away for now and study it slowly later. She believed that one day, she would uncover the mystery of this token.

What she didn't expect was that the moment she touched the token, the entire martial arts world was shaken. Those magical weapons seemed to have come to life and trembled wildly. Those holding swords and knives all frowned and looked at the weapons in their hands in surprise, as if they had suddenly come alive.

"What's going on? Why did my sword suddenly react?" A swordsman in blue, holding a long sword, looked puzzled and shocked. The tip of his sword trembled slightly, as if an invisible force was pulling it.

"Strange! My sword is clearly a dead object, how come it seems to have consciousness now?" Another swordsman in black encountered the same situation. His sword body trembled slightly, making a buzzing sound, as if there was a surge of life force.

"Who can tell me what happened?" For a moment, the top masters in the martial arts world were shocked as never before. The weapons in their hands kept behaving strangely, leaving them puzzled. This sudden change plunged the entire martial arts world into an unprecedented mystery.

How could they know that the unusual features of those swords were actually inextricably linked to the mysterious token in my hand. The token exuded a faint green light, and was engraved with complex runes. Every time I touched it, I seemed to feel an ancient and powerful force surging in it. I tried countless times to unlock its secrets, but always to no avail. Now, my interest in studying the token has faded, and I casually threw it into the system's storage space, which was filled with all kinds of rare treasures, each carrying different stories and memories.

Then, I rode my horse, a black horse with snow-white hooves, named "Zhuifeng". It took me straight to Qian Dashanren's bank. The morning sun shone on the streets of Chang'an, covering this ancient city with a golden coat. The breeze blew by, bringing bursts of fresh air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

There were people coming and going in front of the bank, it was very lively, like a market. Mr. Qian was sitting in a rocking chair. He seemed to be rounder after not seeing him for a few days, and his eyes were almost squeezed out by the smile on his face. He was dressed gorgeously, and his silk clothes sparkled in the sun. He wore several huge gold rings on his fingers, which sparkled. The bank's business is so prosperous, all thanks to me, Li Qingge. If it weren't for the 100,000 taels of silver injected like timely rain, how could the bank be so prosperous? In addition, my good deed of donating grain has spread to the outside of Chang'an City, attracting merchants from afar to come from thousands of miles away and deposit their money here. They think that Mr. Qian must be a great good man to do such a compassionate thing for the people, and they feel at ease to hand over their money to him.

I walked into the bank and saw that it was bustling with people. The third shopkeeper and a dozen of his assistants were busy issuing bills and saving money. They were sweating profusely, but they all enjoyed it. Their faces were filled with satisfied and happy smiles, as if they felt the sweetness and happiness of life.

At this time, a figure walked into the bank slowly and everyone exclaimed: "Isn't this Brother Cheng?" When Mr. Qian heard this, he immediately jumped up from his chair, smiled, bowed and greeted him. His respect was simply amazing. As he walked, he waved his hand to signal the guys to make room for me.

"Oh, business is good recently." I, Li Qingge, was a little surprised when I saw this scene. There are so many wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City. It's so lively early in the morning, just like a market. I looked around and saw that the bank was luxuriously decorated, with precious calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and various exquisite porcelains on the counters. Everything looked so magnificent.

"This is all thanks to you. Without your help, my bank would have closed down long ago." Mr. Qian said gratefully, with a brighter smile on his face. As he spoke, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, looking a little nervous and embarrassed.

"Come, come, come in, I'll have someone make you some good tea." He led me into the inner room. The inner room was more spacious and bright, with several comfortable chairs and tea tables. After a while, the waiter brought the fragrant tea. The fragrance of the tea was overflowing, and I knew it was good stuff as soon as I smelled it. The whole room was filled with fragrance. I took a sip of the tea and felt that the tea was mellow and full of aftertaste.

"Good tea." I took a sip, but I thought to myself: "Although this tea is good, it is still a little bit inferior to what I usually drink. I must let him taste what is really good tea next time." I changed my mind and began to think: "In addition to crops, this fine tea is also a good way to make money." My business mind suddenly became active. I began to imagine how to promote these teas to more distant places so that more people can taste their mellow fragrance.

"Brother Cheng, do you have any advice for me?" Qian Dashan asked politely, with a stiff smile on his face, and he seemed a little nervous. He clasped his hands together, and his eyes revealed a hint of expectation and uneasiness.

"Oh, I came to see the latest interest, it's time to give it to me." I said with a smile. When Mr. Qian heard this, he immediately clapped his hands, lifted the door curtain, and several assistants came in holding brocade boxes and placed them in front of me.

"What is this?" I frowned, looking at the brocade box in front of me with some confusion. The brocade box was embroidered with intricate patterns, which looked extremely exquisite.

"Interest. You have deposited so much money in our bank, so we have to give you something in return. I hope you are satisfied." Mr. Qian smiled and opened the brocade box. Inside was a dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry, jewels and jade articles, each of which was worth a lot of money.

"It's just some gold and silver jewelry." I said lightly, and took another sip of tea. I was not interested in these gold and silver jewelry. Although they were precious, they could not move my heart.

"This..." When Mr. Qian saw my attitude, he felt a little embarrassed and sweat broke out on his forehead. He kept muttering in his heart: "Why is this guy not interested at all? Is he not interested in these gold, silver and jewelry?" He began to panic and didn't know how to deal with my indifference.

"This is just a small part of it. There are more. I guarantee you will be satisfied!" Mr. Qian gritted his teeth and clapped his hands again. The guys came in again and brought a heavier brocade box. They carefully placed the brocade box on the table and then stepped aside.

Mr. Qian looked at me expectantly, hoping to get a satisfactory response from me. He forced a smile, but his heart was in turmoil. He rubbed his hands nervously, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety.

"I think you are satisfied this time?" he asked tentatively.

"Forget about the interest, I don't need it." I waved my hand and said impatiently. In the past, my eyes would light up when I saw money, but now it's different. I am no longer the businessman who runs around for money. Now I have higher aspirations and a broader vision.

"I have a cornucopia, a good thing that makes money. If I don't touch it for a few days, it will be full. Money is like floating clouds to me." I was secretly proud of myself, thinking that I was a rich man now. I began to enjoy the fun and satisfaction brought by life, and no longer worried about money.

"Brother Cheng..." When Mr. Qian heard this, he was stunned and looked at me with a puzzled look on his face. His heartbeat quickened and he couldn't believe his ears. He had never seen anyone who was so uninterested in money.

"I have said something, and I cannot take it back. You can keep the money for me first. You can use it as you like, and I don't need to pay interest." I smiled lightly, looking very generous. My trust in Mr. Qian made me willing to give the money to him. At the same time, I also enjoyed the sense of accomplishment of being able to help others and benefit the people.

"Brother Cheng, you are really my adopted parents! If you have any instructions in the future, I will do it for you even if it means going through fire and water!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian was so happy that he almost jumped up. He patted his chest and promised, with a smile on his face that was brighter than ever. He was so happy in his heart: "With so much money, he doesn't even ask for interest and lets me use it as I please? Although I don't know how long he will save it, even if it's ten days or half a month, I can still make a lot. Looking at his look, it doesn't seem like he will take it out in a short time. The money comes from unknown sources, maybe it can be saved for several years. By then, won't this money be the same as mine?" Thinking of this, Mr. Qian was simply overjoyed.

"Actually, I came here today to ask you for help with something." I said with a smile, finally getting to the point. I looked at Mr. Qian's expectant eyes, and I had already made up my mind. I knew that he would do his best to help me accomplish this matter. And I will continue to use my wisdom and strength to create more miracles and possibilities.
