The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

A young girl in training clothes looked at Li Qingshan with an extremely serious expression and questioned him.

"Li Qingshan, do you know your crime?"

Li Qingshan looked at the woman in the distance, raised an eyebrow slightly, and then remembered her identity.

Xiao Ruoli, the third young lady of the Marquis's mansion, is a legendary martial arts fanatic.

Her martial arts talent is exceptionally strong; there are even rumors that Xiao Ruoli will be able to enter the True Qi Realm before the age of twenty-five.

It should be understood that even if an ordinary person starts practicing martial arts and has sufficient resources, it will still take several years to hone their skills and generate internal strength.

As for breaking through to the True Qi Realm, one needs either sufficient resources or strong comprehension; moreover, both are indispensable.

"I really don't know, please enlighten me, Miss."

After giving a slight bow, Li Qingshan spoke in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant.

Upon seeing a servant dare to treat her like this, a ruthless glint flashed in Xiao Ruoli's eyes.

But then, as if she had thought of something, she suppressed her thoughts and said coldly.

"The eldest aunt was a member of the imperial family and was even granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady."

Based solely on your actions today, you are worthy of exile.

Imperial relatives?

A first-rank imperial consort?

Upon hearing these two titles, Li Qingshan couldn't help but twitch slightly between his brows.

He seemed to understand why the vast Changning Marquis's mansion was able to continue operating after the Marquis's death.

However, Li Qingshan quickly calmed down thanks to his extraordinary willpower.

"Third Miss, you might as well speak frankly. If you really wanted to punish me, the First Madam would have already taken me down instead of rewarding me with treasures."

Li Qingshan said calmly.

However, his right hand was slightly clenched inside his sleeve. If the third young lady in front of him insisted on making things difficult for him, he could try to escape.

Li Qingshan had no concept of feudal ethics or moral principles.

"Hahaha, Li Qingshan, what a fine Li Qingshan! Not only did he solve a mess for my Changning Marquis's mansion, but he also demonstrated outstanding martial arts talent."

Even that slut, my eldest sister, couldn't drain you dry. It seems you have quite a few secrets to hide.

Xiao Ruoqing was not in a hurry. Instead, she looked down at Li Qingshan and recounted everything that had happened to him during this period.

"You flatter me, Miss. If there's nothing else, I must hurry back to Shuiyun Pavilion. Business has been quite busy lately."

Li Qingshan cupped his hands in greeting and prepared to leave.

Who cares what this third young lady is planning?

At worst, I'll just not take the bait.

"I want you to be my servant, for four days from now will be the anniversary of my dead father's death."

That day, I need you to do one thing for me!

Xiao Ruoqing recounted her plans without any hesitation, displaying the boldness of a martial artist.

……

Lin'an City.

The streets were filled with the shouts of vendors, and many pedestrians were coming and going, making the whole street lively.

"Candied hawthorn skewers, two coins a skewer!"

"Steamed buns, fragrant and delicious steamed buns, freshly steamed!"

"The new silks in our shop are of good quality and inexpensive."

Li Qingshan walked down the street, but it felt as if a huge boulder was weighing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Faced with the unexpected turn of events, Li Qingshan couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"Damn it, why drag me into something so dangerous?"

"And that Marquis of Changning, couldn't he have died a little later, giving me enough time to develop?"

Just now.

Xiao Ruoli recounted her plan—

"I want you to be used by me."

"In the coming anniversary of their death, some in the court will inevitably cause trouble. At that time, I will use my True Qi Realm strength to suppress them, but the remaining villains will require you and others to take action and eliminate them one by one."

The plan is good and simple.

The problem is, Li Qingshan simply doesn't want to get involved in these messy affairs.

Who knows what tricks and schemes those people who want to bring down the Marquis of Changning's mansion will use?

Now, the cult's heiress and the Ninth Madam who wants to run away have also gotten involved.

Li Qingshan slowly pieced together everything he knew, then couldn't help but rub his brows.

"Fortunately, the Second Miss should be able to protect me, but we need to find a way to write the poem to commemorate Marquis Changning first."

With that in mind, Li Qingshan decided to stop wasting his energy and started eating heartily at the noodle stall next to him.

He ate three bowls in a row before feeling satisfied. He wiped his mouth, left the money for the meal, and left.

However, the noodle stall owner, who had been engrossed in cooking, raised his weathered face, then lowered it even further.

Only a whisper, barely audible, moved from his lips.

"As expected, this child looks almost exactly like the son of the Northern King, just as the intelligence indicated. He could even be mistaken for the real thing."

It's a pity this boy's strength is so weak. If he were at the peak of True Qi, he might really be able to replace the son of the Northern King...

Upon arriving at Shuiyun Pavilion, Li Qingshan's initially composed expression gradually turned serious.

"At least four pairs of eyes locked onto me just now, and there are probably even more people scrutinizing me from the shadows."

Who could it be? Is it Chen Liang and his group, or is it that Miss San is worried about me?

Li Qingshan, who was a king of soldiers in his previous life, was extremely perceptive.

He noticed something was wrong with the noodle stall owner immediately.

But the remaining gazes from the shadows made him temporarily abandon his plan to leave.

"Master, you're finally back! I was so bored. Did anything interesting happen while you were out?"

Qianqian, who was weaving among various weapons, couldn't help but smile and say something when she saw Li Qingshan return.

After patting Qianqian's head, Li Qingshan began to recount his experiences with a touch of helplessness.

"Wow, the Changning Marquis's residence is so complicated, even more complicated than the Empress's palace back then."

Qianqian's eyes widened, and she said in a somewhat crisp voice.

"It's more than complicated; the waters of this Marquis's mansion run too deep. I haven't even met the other ladies yet."

"And this is already the result... If I provoke more, I might not even survive the next day."

Li Qingshan smiled helplessly, and then set up the starting stance from the "Divine Dragon Fist Manual" in the courtyard.

Let him be strong, Li Qingshan believed that his strength could break through everything.

However, after circling around, Qianqian seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but say something.

"Master, while you were away, that servant named Wu Ziming was acting suspiciously."

And it keeps glancing at my true form; you'd better be careful.

Li Qingshan gave a cold laugh.

"Don't worry, I've known for a long time that Wu Ziming is no good person. He was planted by someone else to spy on us."

Li Qingshan had a sudden thought when he sensed a probing gaze. He looked up and his eyes met those of Wu Ziming on the upper floor.

"This...this, how is this possible?"
