Chapter 27
"Watch it!" Before Li Qingge finished speaking, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Her eyes shone with determination and pride, as if she had everything under control. Suddenly, Long Teng's sword skills were displayed like clouds and flowing water. The sword was flashing, and her figure flickered in and out of the shadow of the sword, like a fierce dragon soaring in the sky on the wind. The momentum was simply frightening! A set of eighteen styles of sword techniques were performed continuously, with strong winds blowing all around. The sword techniques were so tight that they were like a dragnet with no loopholes. Every movement revealed unparalleled superb skills.
“Is this the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique?” One person was dumbfounded, his voice trembling with disbelief.
“It feels much better than what we learned!” Another person exclaimed, his eyes full of awe of Li Qingge’s skills.
"This sword technique has made up for all the shortcomings of Long Teng's sword technique. It is impeccable!" The third person murmured to himself, his eyes closely following Li Qingge's every movement, as if to make up for all the shortcomings of Long Teng's sword technique. All deeply imprinted in my mind.
"This is the real Longteng sword technique!" The three shouted in unison, their voices full of admiration and admiration for Li Qingge's skills.
Li Qingge stood up with her sword put away. Her figure was tall and proud, like a goddess of swordsmanship descending into the mortal world. The three people were stunned, their mouths opened wide, and they were too surprised to speak. Their legs began to weaken, and their eyes looked at Li Qingge full of awe and admiration.
The bald man clasped his fists, with awe evident in his words: "Excuse me, may I ask your surname?" There was a tremor in his voice, obviously he was shocked by Li Qingge's skills.
Li Qingge smiled slightly, with a hint of indifference and calmness in her smile. She threw the knife to the ground easily and put her hands behind her back, looking inscrutable: "I am the authentic successor of Longteng Sword Technique. Which senior of the Black Tiger Gang are you disciples?" There was a hint of majesty in her voice, It was as if a true master was asking his disciples.
"We are the disciples of our predecessors." The three of them answered in unison, with a hint of fear and uneasiness in their voices.
"I see." Li Qingge nodded, her eyes revealing a hint of understanding, "The Dragon Sword Technique originally had two branches, but part of it has been lost among your seniors, and I have completely mastered its essence." There was a hint of confidence and pride in her voice.
"In terms of seniority, I should be considered your senior's master. Kneel down quickly and call me master!" Li Qingge looked down at them with a hint of joking. There was a cunning light in her eyes, as if a naughty senior sister was teasing her junior brother.
"Master? You are so young, how could you be our master?" A person asked doubtfully, his eyes full of puzzlement and confusion.
"You're not lying to us, are you?" Another person also questioned, with a hint of hesitation and uneasiness in his voice.
“But his Dragon Soaring Sword Technique is undoubtedly authentic.” The third person muttered, his eyes fixed on Li Qingge, as if trying to find the answer.
"Could it be that Master is really the ancestor of our predecessors?" The three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts and confusion. But in the end, they wisely chose to kneel down. How could they dare to disrespect the power of Longteng's sword technique?
Li Qingge's face darkened and he threatened: "Assassinating Master is a crime of great disrespect! If this matter is reported to the Black Tiger Gang, do you know the consequences?" There was a hint of majesty and dignity in her voice. Stern, as if a true master was reprimanding his disciples.
The bald man smiled bitterly, wiped his sweat and said, "We were deceived by others, not out of intention." There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in his voice, and he was obviously intimidated by Li Qingge's majesty.
Zhang Laoer also quickly tried to please him: "Master, please calm down, we are really innocent." There was a hint of pleading and sincerity in his voice, as if a disciple who had made a mistake was begging for mercy from the master.
Li Qingge snorted coldly and said seriously: "I can not pursue this matter for the time being, but you must agree to me a condition." There was a hint of seriousness and seriousness in her voice, like a true master Assigning tasks to his disciples.
"Why do you want to assassinate me?" Li Qingge asked, her eyes flashing with sharp light, as if she wanted to see everything through.
With a bald face looking troubled, Li Qingge asked coldly: "If you don't tell the truth, you will practice my family law. You should know how powerful my family law is." There was a hint of threat and intimidation in her voice, like a real The master is interrogating his disciple.
The bald head was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and finally told the truth: "We were once the prince's disciples, and we were ordered by the old man to form an alliance with the prince. Later, when the prince lost power, we were dissatisfied, so we wanted to do harm to the master. I didn't expect that Master, you are also a descendant of Soaring Dragon." There was a hint of fear and uneasiness in his voice, obviously intimidated by Li Qingge's majesty.
When Li Qingge heard this, he suddenly realized. She secretly thought to herself: "I see. When the prince was deposed, I happened to be beside Li Shimin. He ordered the prince to abdicate. The prince may have mistakenly thought that it was me. Although it was not me, the misunderstanding was deep. This account It still has to be calculated." Her eyes shone with wisdom, as if a true master was thinking about how to solve this difficult problem.
So she waved her hand and said: "You go, go back and tell the old man that I will go find him personally." There was a hint of indifference and calmness in her voice, as if a real master was instructing her disciple.
After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Li Qingge had lost interest in these three people. Although he could kill them, he was afraid of causing more trouble, so he let them go. And now they are afraid and don't dare to make mistakes easily again. Her eyes shone with wisdom and calmness, as if a true master was handling all trivial matters.
"Thank you, Master, let's leave now!" After saying that, the three of them retreated hurriedly, and with quick movement, they disappeared on the roof in the blink of an eye. Their figures loomed in the night, like a flock of frightened birds escaping in a hurry.
Li Qingge looked at the direction they were leaving and sighed secretly: "The world of the Tang Dynasty is really unfathomable. There are no records of this in the history books. But it is not difficult to see from these clues that in fact it is also There is nothing to be afraid of." Her eyes shone with confidence and pride, as if a true master was looking down on the world.
At this time, the effect of the Netherworld Eye has disappeared, but the memory of Longteng Sword Technique is deeply imprinted in her mind. Although the inheritance was temporarily hidden, Li Qingge felt that it could be activated at any time. Her heart was filled with joy and expectation, as if a true master was looking forward to future challenges.
“The Nether Eye can copy martial arts and store them in memory, which can be activated at any time. In this way, I can absorb various martial arts infinitely and store them for use. I only need to find the right opportunity to activate the inheritance. "She whispered to herself softly, as if a real master was explaining his own martial arts philosophy.
"The Nether Eye is such an amazing thing!" Li Qingge smiled and raised her head to look at the sky, her heart filled with joy and pride. She knew that the world would be a more interesting and exciting place from now on. She will use her strength and wisdom to reveal the mysteries of this world and create her own legend. And the Nether Eye will become one of her most powerful weapons, helping her to stand firm in the world.
After killing the assassin, Li Qingge hurried to Cheng Mansion. Dad was waiting at the house, and she didn't dare to delay. The sun shines through the sparse clouds on her body, adding a bit of warmth to her already cold temperament. Her steps were brisk and powerful, and every step seemed so decisive, as if the battle just now was just a small episode in her life.
As soon as she entered the door, her father, Cheng Yaojin, stared at her eagerly, his eyes full of expectation. But he didn't say anything. He just said lightly: "The little thing is done." Then he turned around and went into the kitchen and started making delicious food. Her figure was busy in the kitchen, and her skillful movements seemed like she was born to be a chef. After a while, the fragrance penetrated into the nose, and the neighbors were all greedy, and they were muttering in their hearts, each one louder than the other.
For several days, the neighbors were curious as to why Cheng Mansion suddenly had a chef, but after asking around, they couldn't find out. Instead, I found that the chef had not been replaced at all. It turns out that when General Cheng is in a good mood, he likes to cook by himself, and all the meals for the whole family are made by him. When the interest is over, find a good cook instead. As soon as this news spread, everyone was stunned, wondering: Could these delicacies really be made by General Cheng, right? But then I thought about it and felt something was wrong. How could Li Qingge, who was usually so lazy, pick up the spatula? There must be a mysterious chef hiding in the mansion. Because of his special status, he is afraid of being poached by the emperor.
“Hmph, this is outrageous, I don’t believe he can cook!” A neighbor said with his lips curled up.
"My enemy, there must be a famous chef hiding in the house." Another neighbor agreed.
"Yes, he is probably just pretending. Who believes he can cook well?" A passerby shook his head.
“Alas, this guy can even play tricks on his cooking. He is really a loser.” Someone else sighed.
Although they whispered so behind their backs, the scent was so alluring that everyone couldn't help but praise in their hearts: Absolutely amazing! The scent seems to be magical and irresistible. Whenever food is served, the neighbors can't help but crane their necks and take a few glances into Cheng's house, trying to spy on the true identity of the mysterious chef.
In the kitchen, Li Qingge put away the pots and pans and looked at the four dishes and one soup in front of him, feeling satisfied in his heart. It's been a long time since I cooked for my dad, so I have to let him enjoy it today. Her eyes shone with tenderness, as if at this moment, she was no longer the cold assassin, but a loving daughter. So, she personally carried the food all the way to the dining room.
"Oh, this smells so good, your cooking skills are so good again!" Cheng Yaojin's eyes lit up before the food was served, and he couldn't help but move his fingers. He looked at his daughter's gentle eyes, and a warmth surged in his heart. I think back then, this kid suddenly stopped visiting Huajieliuxiang and went into the kitchen instead. From time to time, he would tinker with some novel vegetables, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. He didn't know where the seeds came from. Cheng Yaojin was once worried that she had neglected her martial arts. After all, the Cheng family has been a military general for generations, and both of his sons were officials in the imperial court. One made meritorious service in the army, and the other was a dazzler in the Jinwu Guard. But Li Qingge just liked to play with the fields.
But looking at the food in front of me now, it is simply the level of an imperial chef! The aroma is so fragrant that it makes people drool just by looking at it. Not to mention that she also came up with ideas to promote farming and increase production and enrich the people. Isn’t this a great skill? What makes Cheng Yaojin even more happy is that this kid is still practicing swordsmanship secretly, and his swordsmanship on the martial arts field is getting more and more sophisticated. Cheng Yaojin was so excited. He felt that this boy had unlimited potential. He could become a master in anything he did. He was simply a genius!
Looking at his daughter's busy figure, he was filled with emotion. This daughter always brings surprises to him. I think back then she was just a little girl who only got into trouble, but now she has grown into such an outstanding woman. Cheng Yaojin has always been proud of his three-level axe, but he didn't expect that his daughter would be an even more talented master. Thinking of this, he felt happy and his eyes were a little moist.
"If your mother were still here, how happy she would be to see this scene." Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but feel sad. He recalled the warm scene of their family sitting together to eat when his wife was still alive. At that time, Li Qingge was just a child, always mischievous. But now, she has grown into a tall and graceful girl.
"Dad, the food is getting cold. Eat it while it's hot." Li Qingge reminded gently. She looked at her father's somewhat moist eyes, and felt a sense of sourness in her heart. She knew that her father had been missing her mother, and she had been working hard to make her father feel the warmth of home.
"You still remember what I like to eat. I'm not hurting you in vain." Cheng Yaojin smiled and took the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat happily. The braised pork melts in your mouth, and the sweet aroma is simply intoxicating. As he ate, he admired his daughter's craftsmanship, and his heart was filled with satisfaction and happiness.
"I brewed this wine specially for you. It has high alcohol content, so don't be greedy." Li Qingge said as he opened a jar of good wine. She hid this for her father, and even Li Shimin couldn't ask for it. The aroma of the wine hits your nostrils, making people ecstatic as soon as they smell it.
“Good wine!” Cheng Yaojin drank it all in one gulp and suddenly felt in high spirits. He felt the wonderful feeling of the wine flowing in his mouth, and he felt a little more love for his daughter in his heart.
“It’s strange, the wine shops in Chang’an city have recently had this kind of wine. Could it be your fault?” Cheng Yaojin thought of the recent lively scene in Chang’an wine shops, the strong smell of wine Pure, very different from before. He looked at his daughter's sly smile and understood something about it.
"Your Majesty has tasted my wine and wanted to open a winery with me, so I contributed some secret recipes." Li Qingge replied with a smile, looking calm and relaxed. There was a kind of confidence and calmness in her words, as if all this was just an episode in her life. But Cheng Yaojin knew how much hard work and effort his daughter had put behind this! He couldn't help but feel proud of his daughter's talent and hard work!
As soon as the good wine came out, the whole Tang Dynasty was shaken. The aroma of wine seems to travel through time and space, evoking the purest desire deep in people's hearts. But Li Qingge believed in letting things take their own course, and didn't want to spread the secret of winemaking everywhere, so she only confessed it to her father, Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Yaojin, a hero of the Tang Dynasty, was very happy when he heard about his daughter's secret. He patted his thigh and smiled from ear to ear: "Okay! Everyone should try such a good thing. You did the right thing!" His face was full of pride, and he knew that his daughter was pretending to What matters is the overall situation, the tens of millions of people. If someone else gets this secret recipe, they will get a treasure that is so precious that they would hide it in their arms for fear of losing it and hold it in their mouths for fear of it melting. But in Li Qingge's eyes, this secret recipe is just like something you can find on the Internet, not that mysterious.
"Dad, don't drink wine sold outside in the future. What I brew is the real thing." Li Qingge said with a proud smile, her eyes shining with confidence, as if she had seen the future. Countless people tasted the wine she brewed and were full of praise.
"Okay, I'll take a few bottles with me when I go out to appreciate my daughter's craftsmanship." Cheng Yaojin agreed with a smile, his voice full of doting and pride for his daughter.
In the restaurant, the father and daughter chatted happily and laughed constantly. Even the servants outside the door felt warm in their hearts. Even though Li Qingge was usually carefree and informal, he was unambiguous about his filial piety. She understands Cheng Yaojin's preferences and what he loves most. Everyone looked at it and felt that the father and daughter were not like father and daughter, but more like buddies. They talked about everything and were very close.
In the evening, Cheng Yaojin came back drunk, his face flushed, and he muttered: "Good wine, really good wine!" Li Qingge lay on the bed and worked on her "green field." This name sounds domineering, but it is actually a high-tech monitoring and storage artifact. It is so powerful. There is unlimited space inside it, so it doesn’t matter how much food is stored. This is the real baby bump, which is Li Qingge's favorite.
As soon as I opened the "Green Field", the farmland inside was renovated, and the wheat seedlings were green and growing happily. Those wheat seedlings seemed to be alive, jumping and dancing in front of Li Qingge's eyes, which made people feel happy.
【Watching these lives thrive is so wonderful! ] Li Qingge sighed secretly in his heart, her eyes were full of tenderness and expectation.
[It will be time to harvest again in a while, and we have to send grain to the south of the Yangtze River. I wonder if Qian Dashan can bear this surprise. ] She thought, with a sly smile on her lips. Qian Dashanren was a wealthy businessman from the south of the Yangtze River. He was very generous in hoarding and donating food. This time, Li Qingge planned to give him a big surprise with food from the "green field", which even scared him so much that his eyes would fall out.
Thinking of this, Li Qingge could hardly contain his anticipation. She seemed to have seen Qian Dashanren's surprised expression and heard his admiring words.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Another crowd gathered at the gate of the city. The curious babies followed the grain truck and ran to the outskirts. The confusion in their hearts was like a knotted rope. They wanted to see how the grain truck was filled.
The suburbs are desolate, with not even a warehouse in sight. But the grain truck was filled with grain in the blink of an eye, and everyone was stunned. The Qian family's clerk skillfully drove the car to the palace. The common people looked at me and I looked at you, with confused expressions on their faces. "What's going on? Why is the bus full in the blink of an eye?" A person asked in confusion, scratching his head.
"Have you seen it? What is the principle of this?" Another person also asked with a puzzled look.
"I came a little late, and the food was all full. Isn't this strange?" A latecomer said in surprise.
"If there is a warehouse, it must be near here, right?" A person said looking around.
“Could it be underground?” Another person guessed.
Everyone looked around and saw that the ground was hard and there was not even a trace of new soil. Their doubts became more serious, and they shook their heads in confusion. For a time, people were panicked. Everyone said that this was something evil, and the source of the food became a mystery.
“Could it be that Mr. Qian is a god who descends to earth and fills up the food supply with just a wave of his hand?” one person said jokingly.
“It’s either a god or a ghost!” someone said seriously. As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed, and a chill went straight up their spines. They looked around and saw that it was very desolate, and the crows' cries were very sad, which made it even more terrifying.
"Come on, hurry up, there's a lot of evil here." One person said fearfully.
"Qian Dashan must have a secret weapon, otherwise how could he conjure food out of thin air?" another person guessed.
"Yes, there is a constant supply of food, and there is no warehouse in sight. There is definitely something fishy about this!" Another person also agreed.
Everyone was talking a lot and was so scared that they ran away one by one without even bringing their heads back. They ran so fast, as if there were pursuers chasing them.
At this time, Li Qingge walked out of the path in the forest, smiled bitterly and shook his head. She lamented that the people of Chang'an were so curious that they followed her here. Fortunately, there is the concealment of the "green field", otherwise the secret of these thousands of acres of fertile land would have spread throughout the world. We have to make a big fuss, and then we will be in trouble.
So, you still have to be more careful. Li Qingge secretly decided that he must keep this secret in order to preserve this hard-won peace. She looked at the people who were leaving, and an inexplicable emotion surged in her heart. It is both helpless to them and lucky to myself. She is grateful that she has a "green field" that can bring peace and happiness to herself and those around her.
If there are no mistakes, this autumn harvest and the active donation of food by the wealthy businessmen of the Tang Dynasty, the disaster relief difficulties in the south of the Yangtze River will be solved soon. And the next harvest is in sight, the golden rice fields are glowing in the sun, and the heavy ears of rice hang their heads, as if telling people the joy to come. The grain will enter our warehouse steadily, adding another strength to the prosperity of Datang.
The most gratifying thing is that Qing Ge studied it carefully last night. Her bright eyes shone with the light of wisdom, as if she could discern the mysteries of all things in the world. She discovered that storing food in those green and vibrant places can avoid moisture and insects, and the food can be stored longer. This idea undoubtedly finds a new solution to the problem of grain storage.
Speaking of the silver in the cornucopia, although it can solve the urgent needs of the people in Jiangnan, I am also worried that if this silver flows into the Datang market, it will cause the price of silver to fall. Therefore, it is better to keep this money for emergencies.
The early morning sunshine shines on the streets of Chang'an City, which is very lively. Qingge went into the city alone. She was wearing a light blue dress and her steps were light, like a blooming lotus. Sure enough, just as I thought, Chang'an City was very lively and everyone was talking about it.
"The good man Qian is really kind-hearted. I thought he had given all he had, but I didn't expect to donate so much food." An old man in ragged clothes sighed, his eyes shining with gratitude.
"I'm afraid he has emptied his family fortune this time. It's amazing that a rich man from Chang'an City can accumulate so much food in such a short period of time." A man who looked like a businessman admired, His eyes were full of admiration.
“I also want to go into business and make money!” A young man said excitedly, as if he saw hope for the future in his eyes.
“Now it seems that there is a real future in doing business.” Another person echoed, his eyes shining with longing.
Everyone is curious, why does food have to be handed over in such a desolate place? Everyone was staring at the wasteland with great interest. The wasteland was located on the outskirts of Chang'an City. It was desolate and silent, with only a few dead trees standing there alone. However, at this time, he became the center of attention.
At the same time, there was a lot of discussion in the palace. In the splendid palace, the veterans were all moved by Qian Dashanren's actions. They were dressed in gorgeous court clothes and had serious and solemn faces. They thought Qian Dashan had done his best, but they didn't expect him to donate so much food.
“We in the Tang Dynasty are really blessed to have such kind people.” An old minister said with emotion, his eyes full of relief.
"Qian Dashan is indeed well-deserved. Only giving him a plaque and a bronze medal seems not enough to commend his merits. He should be given an official title." Another veteran agreed, his eyes twinkling. with a glow of admiration.
"But His Majesty doesn't seem to care much about this matter. He has always made clear rewards and punishments. Why this time..." an old minister said doubtfully, his brows furrowed, as if he was puzzled by His Majesty's attitude. .
Everyone can’t figure it out. Qian Toyota’s approach is simply unprecedented and unprecedented. He is so eager to help His Majesty relieve his worries. According to common sense, His Majesty will definitely reward him heavily. Why just forget about it now?
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Shimin, thinking this was quite strange. Li Shimin was wearing a dragon robe, with a majestic and deep face. He sat on the dragon chair, looking at the ministers, but he had his own plans in mind.
At this time, Wei Zheng finally couldn't help it. He took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty..."
Li Shimin said lightly: "Qian Dashan did this for The purpose of relieving the people's suffering is not to ask for reward. If I force him to reward him, it will violate his original intention." His voice was calm and firm, as if he had seen through everything.
The emperor knew very well that these grains were actually donated by Qingge, and it would be a waste to reward Toyota with money. So he only gave him a plaque and a bronze medal to express his feelings. He is well aware of Qingge's talent and wisdom, and also understands that her heart is not about fame and wealth.
After hearing what the emperor said, everyone suddenly understood and nodded in agreement. How could Qian Dashan donate food just for the sake of fame? He has already become famous all over the world and does not need to donate to gain fame. His donation of food this time was purely to save the people from the fire and water. His kind deeds made people deeply admired and grateful.
So whether there is a reward or not, it is the same for Toyota. Everyone's doubts disappeared as if they were poured with clean water. They understand that true acts of kindness do not require reward or recognition from others. As long as you can help others, that is the greatest happiness and satisfaction.
"Your Majesty..." At this time Qingge walked into the hall. She was wearing a light blue dress and walked as lightly as a blooming lotus. She saluted respectfully and said: "I, Qingge, are here to see Your Majesty."
"Cheng Aiqing, you are here and I was looking for you." Li Shimin smiled and said to Qingge that he regarded him as a meritorious official of the Tang Dynasty, "This I'm very satisfied that you did a good job in the disaster relief work."
But he chose to keep this matter secret. Outsiders didn't know that this was actually Qing Ge's credit. What a shame. If outsiders knew about it, Qingge would definitely receive more praise and respect.
"Your Majesty, you have ordered me to do my best." Qing Ge replied, but in his heart he was wondering what Li Shimin wanted to do, "Li Shimin, I know that every time you come to me, you come here for profit. This I already gave you the secret recipe for brewing wine, what do you want? Besides, I helped you with such a big favor. The credit for the disaster relief is not a small one.”
Li Shimin felt a little frightened when he heard Qing Ge's voice. He thought that the seriousness of the floods in Jiangnan would have caused a catastrophe and shaken the foundation of the country if Qingge had not come to help. He is well aware of Qing Ge's talent and wisdom and understands her importance to him.
"Although reports say that tens of thousands of people were affected by the flood in Jiangnan, the situation is actually more serious." Li Shimin said solemnly, "Fortunately, this guy took action to control the disaster. This is a great contribution to saving the country!" "He secretly praised Qing Ge in his heart and almost wanted to reward Qing Ge heavily, but in the end he held back.
Because rewarding Qingge now will definitely attract criticism. So he had to change the topic and mention wine making to appease Qing Ge, "Cheng Aiqing, the strong wine you brewed with your secret recipe has become popular in Chang'an City." Li Shimin said with a smile.
Fang Xuanling and other ministers were shocked. They did not expect that such good wine was brewed by Qingge. The popular spirits in Chang'an city have been praised by everyone recently, and now I know it is the masterpiece of Qingge. They all looked at Qing Ge with admiration and admiration.
This guy is really not a fuel-efficient lamp! He even has a genius for making wine! The ministers expressed their admiration and praise for Qing Ge. They were well aware of Qingge's talent and wisdom and understood her contribution to the Tang Dynasty. They believe that Qingge will continue to contribute to the prosperity and development of Datang in the days to come.
In the blink of an eye, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Qingge's face, and that look of confusion was unprecedented. In the main hall, candlelight flickered, reflecting faces full of curiosity and inquiry. Li Qingge, this woman who usually keeps a low profile, has now become the center of attention.
When Li Qingge saw the battle, he frowned slightly and murmured in his heart: "Hey, I hid the secret brewing recipe in the first place because I was afraid of an embarrassing situation like today." She then thought again. I thought: "Li Shimin, if he mentions this in public, I Isn’t this about to be pushed to the forefront? How can I keep a low profile?” Then I thought: “What if I can’t keep a low profile? I still have hope for system rewards. How can Datang be prosperous and powerful without rewards?” , Li Qingge felt entangled in his heart, and his balls hurt so much. Her eyes swept over everyone's faces, trying to find a hint of understanding or sympathy, but she only saw more confusion and curiosity.
She recalled the little tricks she had deliberately left in the secret recipe, but she didn't expect that they were almost ignored. Li Shimin's expression suddenly changed, his body trembled slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and he said in surprise: "Oh, I almost forgot about this! We can't let this kid become famous easily, otherwise my god-level reward will be wasted. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then murmured to himself: "Foreshadowing? What he said is..." After a while, Li Shimin suddenly understood the mystery behind Li Qingge's words.
It turns out that when Li Shimin mentioned the liquor, he originally wanted to discuss it and give Li Qingge 10% of the money earned from brewing. Moreover, this was not a one-time thing, but a long-term benefit. But now it seems that this good thing has turned into trouble.
Li Shimin smiled and said to Li Qingge: "Your secret recipe still has a lot of flaws. I had people try it several times before correcting it." He continued: "And your secret recipe is also good. You didn’t develop it yourself, you bought it, so the credit can’t be too great. However, you have to keep your eyes open when you buy the secret recipe in the future.”
When Li Qingge heard this, he felt excited and happy, knowing that the foreshadowing he had left had finally come in handy. She quickly thanked her and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind." She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself, "What a risk! If it weren't for that foreshadowing, I would have been scared to death today. Li Shimin, Li Shimin, just remind me. , why do you have to say it in front of so many people?”
< br>She pondered again: "I originally thought that Li Shimin brewed good wine just to share a piece of the pie with me, which made me terribly torn between being famous and not being famous. Fortunately, my foreshadowing worked. "She was secretly glad in her heart, and at the same time she admired Li Shimin's wit and foresight.
When Li Qingge handed over the secret recipe, he played a clever trick and used river water instead of spring water. Everyone knows that river water cannot be as sweet as spring water, and it is naturally much worse when used for making wine. So, whoever gets the secret recipe will definitely use spring water to brew it, so the secret recipe will be incomplete. The wine brewed according to this flawed secret recipe will definitely not taste good. In this way, although she presented a seemingly amazing secret recipe, she actually had no merit to speak of and could not attract much attention. She could just live her own life peacefully.
Only then did all the civil and military officials react. They all showed expressions of realization, and then looked at Li Qingge with contemptuous eyes. They all muttered in their hearts: "How can this kid write such a secret recipe? It turned out to be bought, and there are so many problems that have to be repaired by the winemaker." They exchanged glances with each other, seeming to confirm each other. thought, and then they all showed disdainful smiles.
But they also had something they couldn't figure out: How could His Majesty discuss brewing in the court? Although spirits are delicious, can they be served on the table? They don't know that this strong liquor is very useful. Not only can it be drunk, but it can also make a lot of money. By Li Qingge's time, wine-making technology had reached its peak, and those who loved drinking couldn't put it down. So, the secret recipe presented by Li Qingge is the best among liquors. It transcends the times. Sooner or later, it will bring about earth-shaking changes in the brewing industry of the Tang Dynasty and even the world.
It didn't take long for this spirit to become so popular in the Tang Dynasty that even foreign businessmen were vying to buy it and transport it back to their own countries to sell. In this way, it not only enriched the Tang Dynasty's treasury, but also added a lot of luster to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. But this is all later.
As for Li Qingge, he didn’t take it seriously. She also didn't expect that the secret recipe she handed over so casually could actually contribute to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. She stood in the main hall, looking at the different expressions of the civil and military officials, but her heart felt peaceful. She knew that her goal had been achieved, and it no longer mattered whether she was famous or low-key.
Li Shimin felt a lot more relaxed when he saw that Jiangnan's matter had finally been resolved satisfactorily. He was about to retreat from the court and take a rest when he suddenly heard Du Ruhui say: "Your Majesty! There has been some unrest in the world recently! Our secret investigation found that the Black Tiger Gang is causing trouble, and several ministers have been targeted by them. . ”
Du Ruhui has always been calm in his work. He calmly sent someone to investigate and found out that several ministers had been murdered by the Black Tiger Gang. The conspiracy behind this is unfathomable! It can't be solved by one person alone!
Li Shimin frowned when he heard the name "Black Tiger Gang". He thought to himself: "These Jianghu sects are just noisy and noisy at ordinary times, and they can't become a big deal." But then he thought about it, when he conquered the world, he also used their power. Therefore, they have been tolerated. However, if they dare to make any changes, it will only take a matter of minutes to destroy them!
Li Shimin suddenly remembered that Li Qingge had mentioned the Black Tiger Gang to him before, and he couldn't help but feel shocked: "How dare Bald Qiang and the others follow the ministers? Do they have any rebellious intentions?" When he thought that Li Qingge had also been raped Having been harmed by the Black Tiger Gang, Li Shimin's face darkened, and he said angrily: "My blessed general, how could I let you guys bully me!" His voice echoed in the hall, with a sense of anger. Undoubted majesty and power.
