Chapter 28
When the morning light first broke, the outline of Chang'an City gradually became clear in the mist. The simple city walls seemed to carry thousands of years of vicissitudes and glory. In the palace, above the magnificent hall, the atmosphere was extremely solemn. Du Ruhui, this old and wise prime minister, his face is full of traces of time. At this moment, his brows are furrowed and his eyes reveal deep worry. The memorial in his hand was like a heavy stone, weighing on his heart - the Black Tiger Gang, a notorious gang in the world, was quietly and frequently operating near Chang'an City. What was even more disturbing was that many of them were former members of the gang. A retainer in the prince's residence.
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial. The power of the Black Tiger Gang is growing day by day. If it is not curbed in time, it may endanger the peace of the country." Du Ruhui's voice was low and powerful, and every word was like a hammer. In the hearts of everyone present. He knew very well that mentioning the prince would touch the most sensitive nerve of the emperor on the dragon throne.
Li Shimin, the wise monarch who initiated the Zhenguan rule, seemed unusually silent at the moment. His face looked particularly stern under the candlelight, and there was an indescribable complex emotion between his brows. Whenever the word "prince" was mentioned, his eyes dimmed involuntarily, his fists trembled slightly under the dragon robe, and the veins on his forehead seemed to express his inner struggle and anger.
"Prince, Prince, what do you want me to do?" Li Shimin sighed secretly in his heart, and his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that past event that he didn't want to mention - the Xuanwumen incident. It was a bloody power struggle between brothers. Although he finally sat on the supreme throne, the weight and pain remained with him like a shadow and could not be erased.
"As Li Qingge said, the prince is not only weak, but also has evil intentions." Li Shimin murmured to himself, and these words were like a sharp blade, piercing his heart. But he also understands that as the king of a country, he cannot act based on personal emotions alone. He must consider the overall situation and be responsible for the peace of the people.
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of footsteps outside the hall, interrupting Li Shimin's thoughts. Everyone followed the sound and saw a woman in a light blue dress slowly walking into the hall. Her figure was as light as a willow blowing in the spring breeze, and there was an otherworldly temperament between her brows. She is Li Qingge, a woman who not only has outstanding talents, but also has keen political insight.
"Destroy them directly? Easy, but what are the consequences?" Li Qingge's voice was clear and firm, like a clear spring, instantly dousing the anxiety and uneasiness in the hall. Although her words were soft, each word was precise and struck the point. She knows very well that the world and the court have always been two parallel lines. Once they intersect, unpredictable consequences will inevitably occur.
Hearing this, Li Shimin’s eyes flashed with approval. He looked at Li Qingge as if he saw a light of hope. He knew that this woman could always bring him unexpected revelations with her unique perspective.
"You are right, we cannot act rashly." Li Shimin said in a deep voice. Although his voice was not high, it was full of unquestionable majesty. He looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and continued: "The Black Tiger Gang matter must be handled with caution. We must not only consider the immediate crisis, but also consider long-term stability."
Hearing this, the generals asked for battle one after another, their eyes flashing with fighting spirit and determination. Civil servants, on the other hand, appear to be more cautious. They are well aware of the complexity and dangers of Jianghu forces and are unwilling to get involved in this muddy water easily.
When Li Qingge saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he already had some concerns in his heart. She gently adjusted her sleeves and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may solve this dilemma."
When everyone heard this, they all cast curious glances. Li Qingge looked around and continued: "We can select some former martial arts masters from the military generals and let them challenge the Black Tiger Gang in their own name. In this way, we can not only show the strength and majesty of the imperial court, but also not It will cause a large-scale resistance in the world. At the same time, we can also take this opportunity to find out the forces behind the Black Tiger Gang and make plans."
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he had seen a crack. The key to the dilemma. He looked at Li Qingge, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude. He knew that this woman was not only extremely smart, but also had a sincere heart for the country and the people.
"Okay! Just as you say!" Li Shimin slapped the dragon chair and shouted loudly. His voice echoed in the hall, like an invisible force, inspiring everyone.
Thus, a battle of wits against the Black Tiger Gang quietly began. In this war without gunpowder, Li Qingge's wisdom and courage became the key. She not only helped Li Shimin solve the immediate crisis, but also found a delicate balance between the world and the court. And all of this will become an indelible story in the reign of Zhenguan.
The sun shines through the carved window lattice, dappledly onto the magnificent hall, and the dust dances lightly in the light pillars, adding a touch of imperceptible tenderness to this solemn occasion. Li Shimin was sitting on the dragon chair, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and his brows revealed the aura of an emperor who was not angry and proud, but his eyes were shining with a strange light, which was the anticipation and anticipation for the strategy that was about to be revealed. confidence.
"If you want to deal with those people in the arena without going into a big fight? This is indeed a difficult problem." Li Shimin's voice was low and magnetic, echoing in the hall, as if every word contained a thousand meanings. The power of Jun. He gently rubbed the armrests of the dragon chair, thinking secretly in his heart. This thoughtful look made Li Qingge, who was standing quietly beside him, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Li Qingge, a woman wearing a light blue dress, has long hair like a waterfall, eyes like autumn water, and her eyebrows are both gentle and graceful, yet heroic. She stood among the ministers. Although she did not show off her appearance, her otherworldly temperament was hard to ignore. At this moment, a storm was surging in her heart: "This boy, Li Shimin, is really more and more impressive. A thought is like a spring breeze turning into rain, moistening things and resolving problems silently." An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. , the admiration for Li Shimin in my heart increased.
In the main hall, the atmosphere became solemn and full of expectation due to Li Shimin's proposal. The civil servants were either bowing their heads in thought or whispering to each other, trying to find inspiration from ancient books; the military generals were all gearing up, with eagerness in their eyes, as if they were ready to put on armor and show off their skills at any time. However, Li Shimin gently waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"I have made up my mind. To deal with the people in the world, we need to win with wisdom, not with force." His words were loud and clear, like morning bells and evening drums, ringing the alarm in everyone's hearts. "I want to find a man in the world who not only has strong martial arts skills, but also has wisdom and courage, who can single-handedly intimidate the heroes."
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into silence again, followed by more Lively discussion. The ministers exchanged opinions one after another, trying to search for the qualified candidate from their memories. However, as time passed, the expressions on their faces gradually turned from expectation to worry, and finally to confusion.
Changsun Wuji, the leader among the veterans, also looked troubled at this time. He slowly walked out of the queue, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful plan. However, there are many masters in the world. , Those who have been famous for a long time are not easy to control, and few of the younger generation can take on this important task."
Li Shimin frowned when he heard this, and he obviously realized this. The problem is difficult. He looked around, and his eyes finally landed on Li Qingge. At that moment, his eyes seemed to hold a thousand words, but they instantly became calm. Li Qingge felt the gaze and couldn't help but trembled slightly in her heart, but she quickly regained her composure and lowered her head as if nothing had happened.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not." A slightly old but energetic voice broke the silence. Everyone followed the voice and saw an old man with white beard and hair slowly speaking. Get out of the queue. This man was a hermit in the court. Although he did not appear often, he was respected by Li Shimin for his profound wisdom.
"I love you, but it doesn't matter." Li Shimin's tone was full of expectation.
The old man smiled slightly and looked deeply in the direction of Li Qingge: "Your Majesty, I heard that there is a woman in the rivers and lakes, named Li Qingge. Although she is not from a famous family, she has outstanding martial arts, wisdom and courage. She is also both talented and brave. He acts low-key and is not known to the world. This person may be able to take on this important task."
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the hall. The ministers all looked sideways and looked in Li Qingge's direction, with both surprise and curiosity in their eyes. Li Qingge himself was surprised and even more helpless. She never thought that she would be mentioned on such an occasion, nor did she expect that her identity would be revealed so easily.
When Li Shimin heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He quickly came to his senses, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Is this happening? Is what Aiqing said true?"
The old man nodded and confirmed: "It is absolutely true. I have seen his martial arts with my own eyes. It is really rare in this world."
When Li Shimin heard this, he already had a plan in mind. He looked at Li Qingge, with both inquiry and expectation in his eyes: "Li Qingge, are you willing to share my worries and go to the world to shock those young people?"
Li Qingge had mixed feelings in her heart, and she knew that she was going to do this. It was difficult and dangerous, but in the face of Li Shimin's expectation and trust, she finally nodded: "I am willing to go."
At that moment, thunderous applause sounded in the hall. Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction. He knew that he had made the right decision again. Li Qingge, on the other hand, secretly swore in his heart that he would live up to his trust and contribute his share of the peace of the Tang Dynasty with both wisdom and courage.
As Li Qingge agreed, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became relaxed. The ministers all looked at her with admiration, as if she was already a heroine who was about to go into battle. However, Li Qingge did not feel the slightest sense of relief in his heart. She knew that this trip would be one of the most difficult challenges in her life.
As night falls, the moonlight is like water, filling the entire palace. Li Qingge stood alone in the imperial garden, looking at the bright moon, with a myriad of thoughts in his heart. She recalled her experiences over the years, from an unknown woman in the world to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty who had been entrusted with important tasks. It all seemed like a dream.
"Can I really do this?" she asked herself softly, with a hint of uncertainty in her voice. However, she soon became more convinced. "For the Tang Dynasty and for Li Shimin, I must do it." She clenched her fists, with a determined light shining in her eyes.
The next morning, Li Qingge set out on his journey to Jianghu. Wearing a tight-fitting outfit and carrying a long sword on her back, she walked on the official road in a heroic manner. The scenery along the way was picturesque, but she had no intention of enjoying it. There was only one thought in her mind: to find those people in the world as soon as possible and complete her mission.
After several days of running around, Li Qingge finally arrived at a place called "Fengyun Town". This is where people in the world gather, and it is also the destination of her trip. She walked into the town and saw shops on both sides of the street, bustling with people, and a bustling scene. However, behind this prosperity, there are countless undercurrents hidden.
Li Qingge knew that her trip was extremely dangerous, so she was extra cautious. She disguised herself as an ordinary traveler and went around the town asking for news. Soon, she learned an important clue: there was a master named "Iron Palm Invincible" in the world. This man was highly skilled in martial arts and domineering, and was feared by many people in the world. And recently, he has gathered a bunch of people with the intention of harming Datang.
After learning the news, Li Qingge secretly thought: "This person is my first target." She decided to find "Iron Palm Invincible" first and use it as a breakthrough to shock the entire world.
So, she began to search around the town for the whereabouts of "Iron Palm Invincible". After some inquiries and tracking, she finally found him in a remote courtyard. I saw that the man was tall and tall, with a stern face, and a pair of iron palms as sharp as steel knives. He was sitting in the courtyard practicing kung fu, and his energy was surging all over his body. It was obvious that his kung fu had reached the state of transformation.
Seeing this, Li Qingge was secretly on guard. She walked forward slowly, clasped her fists in salute and said, "My wife, Li Qingge, is here to pay a special visit to Senior Iron Palm."
Hearing this, "Iron Palm Invincible" opened his eyes and looked at Li Qingge coldly. , and then sneered: "Humph! It's another video of a little girl who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Go ahead, come on What do you want from me?"
Li Qingge smiled slightly and said calmly: "Senior, I have misunderstood. I am not here to cause trouble, but to discuss important matters."
"Oh. "Is it something important?" "Iron Palm Wudi" said with a hint of curiosity.
When Li Qingge saw this, he told everything about his purpose. Her words were sincere and clear, and she quickly touched the heart of "Iron Palm Invincible". However, this master of martial arts did not easily agree to her request. He sneered and said, "Huh! Do you think that with just a few words from you, you can make me give up the grudges that I have had for many years? You are too naive!"
Li Qingge was not discouraged when he heard this. She knows that people in the world value love and justice, but they also value strength and wisdom. So, she decided to use her actions to prove her sincerity and strength.
She drew her sword out of its scabbard, the light of the sword was like a dragon, and she immediately attacked the "Invincible Iron Palm". I saw that her figure was as light as a swallow, her sword skills were exquisite, and every move and every move contained deep internal power. The "Iron Palm Invincible" was not to be outdone. He waved his palms, the wind roared, and fiercely clashed with Li Qingge's sword.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably. The surrounding air seemed to be distorted by their internal force, making bursts of roaring sounds. However, as time passed, Li Qingge gradually gained the upper hand. Her swordsmanship became more and more powerful, and her attacks became more and more fierce. Finally, with a crisp sword cry, "Iron Palm Invincible" was knocked away by a sword and fell heavily to the ground.
"You...you actually..." He looked at Li Qingge in disbelief, his eyes full of shock and unwillingness.
Li Qingge put away his sword, walked slowly to him, and said in a calm tone: "Senior, the victory has been decided. I hope you can put the overall situation first and give up those unnecessary grudges. The Tang Dynasty and Jianghu could have been at peace with each other. Why do we have to fight to the death?"
"Iron Palm Invincible" heard this and was silent for a long time. Finally, he let out a long sigh and said: "That's all! I, Iron Palm Invincible, have been in the world all my life and have never obeyed anyone. But after seeing you today, I am convinced. You go! I will never fight against Datang again. The enemy is here."
Li Qingge felt happy when he heard this. She knew she had taken the first step successfully. She bowed deeply to "Iron Palm Invincible", then turned and left. Her figure gradually faded away in the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving behind a firm and lonely figure.
The moment the meeting ended, the hall seemed to be enveloped by an invisible layer of cold air. It was so quiet that only the occasional chirping of night birds could be heard outside the window. The ministers looked at each other, their eyes full of doubts and confusion about the plan proposed by Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. They shook their heads and sighed, not only because they doubted the plan itself, but also because they were afraid of the uncertainty that they might fall into. The dome of the main hall is high, and the candlelight flickers, making everyone's shadow long, seeming to express this heaviness and uneasiness.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, stood alone on the high platform, his eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate the thick dust of history and look straight into the future. In his heart, there was a calm lake, just because he had already laid out another chess game in his heart. He looked at the seemingly inconspicuous but actually hidden figure in the crowd - Li Qingge, with an imperceptible smile on his lips. Li Shimin knew very well that this misunderstood young man, with unknown tenacity and wisdom, was the best candidate for this mission.
Li Qingge, dressed in plain clothes, has a delicate face and an unruly and indifferent expression between his brows. He was supposed to be the most inconspicuous presence at the banquet, but he was pushed to the forefront because of this sudden "important task". Faced with Tang Taizong's inquiry, he refused without hesitation. There was a hint of joking hidden in that determination, as if he had already seen through everything. A complex look flashed across his eyes in an instant, showing both anticipation for unknown challenges and disdain for the prejudices of the world.
"Cheng Qing, do you really feel that there is nothing you can do?" Li Shimin's voice was gentle but firm, as if he could see into the deepest secrets of the human heart. There was both temptation and encouragement in his words, and he looked forward to Li Qingge showing his true self.
Hearing this, Li Qingge smiled bitterly in his heart. He knew that his reputation was just that of a prodigal in the eyes of the world, but they didn't know that he had endured and worked hard over the years. He looked up at Li Shimin, those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, making it impossible for him to escape anymore. So, he took a deep breath and decided to accept this challenge, not for anything else but to prove himself.
"Since your Majesty has a destiny, I should do my best." Although Li Qingge's words were brief, the words were full of meaning and ringing. In his words, there was both respect for the imperial power and confidence in his own abilities.
The hall suddenly exploded, and the ministers were talking one after another. Shock, doubt, worry...all kinds of emotions were intertwined together. Wei Zheng was even more anxious and stamped his feet. He knew that although Li Qingge was extraordinary, this task was so difficult that it was no longer a child's play. He wanted to persuade him again, but he saw that Li Shimin had turned and left, his back resolute and firm.
Li Qingge stood there, looking at the direction Li Shimin left, with mixed feelings in his heart. He understood that he had no retreat and could only move forward bravely. The cold sweat on his forehead looked particularly dazzling under the candlelight. It was his awe for the unknown challenge and a proof of his determination.
As night falls, the lights of the capital gradually light up, decorating this ancient city in a picturesque way. However, on the Yanyang Tower, the three important ministers had no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery. Their thoughts were all focused on Li Qingge. Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui, these three veteran ministers with extraordinary resourcefulness, are anxiously waiting for news from Qin Ming.
Qin Ming, as an old friend of Changsun Wuji, is good at inquiring about information and acts cautiously. This time he was entrusted with the important task of monitoring Li Qingge's every move. He arrived in a hurry, and the news he brought made Fang Xuanling and others even more curious and expectant.
“After General Cheng left the hall, he did not go back directly to his hometown. Instead, he went to the ruined temple in the east of the city alone.” There was a hint of mystery in Qin Ming’s words, “He met a mysterious man there. The old man talked for a long time, and it seemed that they had a close relationship. "
"The mysterious old man?" Fang Xuanling frowned when he heard this, and his heart was full of doubts. He knows very well that in the capital, people who can be called "mysterious" are by no means ordinary people. Could it be that there really was an expert behind Li Qingge?
Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui looked at each other with shock and expectation in their eyes. They realized that behind this seemingly simple task, there might be a more complex layout hidden. Therefore, the three decided to continue to monitor Li Qingge and uncover the secret behind him.
The moonlight is like water, filling the entire capital. Li Qingge sat alone in the ruined temple, playing chess with the mysterious old man. On the chessboard, the black and white chess pieces are intertwined, as if they are also telling the intertwining and reincarnation of fate. Although the old man's face was old, his eyes shone with wisdom, and his every word and deed revealed his deep expectations for Li Qingge.
“Do you know that this mission is extremely difficult and unusual?” The old man spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful.
Li Qingge smiled slightly, with firm eyes: "Disciple understands. But it is precisely because of this that it becomes more valuable. I am willing to risk my life just to prove my innocence and ability."
< b r>A hint of approval flashed in the old man's eyes: "Okay! You are ambitious. But you have to remember that true wisdom does not lie in defeating a huge enemy, but in overcoming strength with softness and winning with wisdom." Li Qingge was thoughtful after hearing this. He nodded. He understood that the old man's words contained profound philosophy and were also the best guidance for his mission. He secretly vowed to live up to his expectations and complete this seemingly impossible task.
......
In the following days, Li Qingge seemed to have changed. He no longer indulged in the indulgence and uninhibition of the past, but began to study the information and strategies related to the mission with great concentration. He traveled to every corner of the capital, talking to all kinds of people, collecting information, and looking for ways to break the situation. His figure shuttled through the night, like a cunning fox, observing everything in the dark.
Fang Xuanling and others also gradually discovered the changes in Li Qingge through Qin Ming's surveillance. They were surprised by his diligence and wisdom, and were even more curious about the mysterious old man behind him. They realized that this mission might not be as simple as they thought, and Li Qingge was by no means the "waste" in their eyes.
Finally, amidst everyone's expectations and suspicions, Li Qingge ushered in the last moment of the mission. He stood in the main hall, facing the doubts of the officials and the expectations of Li Shimin, and calmly stated his plan. His words were clear and powerful, and his logic was rigorous and impeccable, shocking everyone present.
The moment Li Shimin announced that the mission was successful, the entire hall was boiling. The ministers all looked at Li Qingge with admiration. They finally understood that this young man who had been misunderstood was actually a real hero. And Li Qingge also found his own value and dignity at this moment.
The moonlight is still bright and the stars are still shining. Upstairs in Yanyang Tower, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Du Ruhui raised their glasses and cheered for Li Qingge's success. They know that this victory belongs not only to Li Qingge, but also to all those who have the courage to challenge themselves and pursue the truth. And the story of Li Qingge will also become a legend and will be praised by future generations forever.
[In the early morning, the glazed tiles of the palace glow softly in the morning light, like an awakening dragon, quietly guarding this prosperous imperial capital. Li Qingge, a seemingly ordinary woman, dressed in simple casual clothes, followed closely behind the burly figure of General Cheng Yaojin. Although his steps were neither hasty nor slow, his eyes shone with subtle cunning and expectation. . 】
【Stepping out of the palace gate, a breeze blows in your face, mixed with the fragrance of flowers in early spring and the smoke of fireworks in the market, making people feel relaxed and happy. Cheng Yaojin did not go straight to the military camp as usual, but turned to a quiet path leading to his mansion. Beside the road, peach blossoms are just beginning to bloom, their pink petals dancing gently in the wind, as if they are paving a warm road home for this battle-hardened general. 】
[After entering the mansion, Cheng Yaojin actually cooked the food himself. This scene shocked Qin Ming who was following him. In the kitchen, the fire is jumping, and the hot oil in the iron pot is crackling. Cheng Yaojin is wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand. His movements are skillful and powerful, completely ignoring the sweat sliding down his forehead, dripping into the pot, and turning into curls. The heat rises. What fills the air is not only the aroma of food, but also an indescribable smell of home, warm and familiar. 】
[Qin Ming stood outside the door, looking through the half-open door, looking at the busy figure, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He seemed to be able to imagine that behind those simple home-cooked meals, there were deep affection for his family, as well as complex emotions intertwined with toughness and tenderness on the battlefield. The corners of Qin Ming's mouth turned up unconsciously, and the light in his eyes reflected both his desire for delicious food and his envy of this warm scene. 】
[The afternoon sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on every corner of the Cheng Mansion, giving this ancient mansion a golden coat. Cheng Yaojin took a nap after dinner. He still did not forget the important events of his family and country in his sleep. His brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, as if he was planning an unknown battle situation in his dream. 】
【At this time, in the backyard, Li Qingge was taking advantage of the sunshine to carefully take care of the green vegetables. She holds a spade in hand and gently turns the soil. Every seedling is like her child, needing her care and care. Her movements were gentle and focused, and her eyes revealed an extraordinary calmness and determination. In her opinion, this small vegetable garden is not only the sustenance of life, but also a pure land of her inner world. 】
[As the sun set, the sky was dyed with gorgeous sunset glow. Cheng Yaojin finally walked out of the room and put on clean clothes, with a bit of satisfaction and relaxation on his face. He stood in the courtyard, looking at the setting sun in the distance, with many thoughts in his mind. He knew that these calm days might just be the calm before the storm, but he was more willing to cherish this rare peace and face the upcoming unknown with a peaceful heart. 】
[At the same time, three ministers, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui, were discussing Cheng Yaojin’s actions in Yanyang Tower. Everyone’s face was full of confusion and confusion. concern. They didn't understand why His Majesty valued a person who seemed to have nothing to do so much, and they didn't understand what the deep meaning was hidden behind it. 】
[At this moment, a crisp system prompt sounded in Li Qingge's mind, breaking the silence around him. She smiled slightly, secretly happy in her heart. She knew that this was another new reward given to her by the Wuwei Lying System - golden soft armor. This sudden surprise made her full of confidence and expectations for the upcoming challenges. 】
【Night falls, the lights in Cheng Mansion are brightly lit, Li Qingge is sitting in the study, gently stroking the shining golden soft armor in his hand, feeling an unprecedented sense of power in his heart. She knew that this was not only a defensive treasure, but also an important weapon for her to protect herself and those around her in this power game. 】
[Looking at the bright starry sky outside the window, Li Qingge secretly vowed in her heart: No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, she will deal with it calmly with a heart of inaction, and write a legend of her own in her own way. . 】
【At this time, in the Yanyang Tower, the three ministers were still immersed in their own thoughts. No one knew that in this peaceful night, a story about change and growth was quietly beginning. . 】
Li Qingge, a woman with graceful figure and picturesque features, her name has long been well-known in the world. Not only does she have superb martial arts skills, but she also has an indomitable heart, always pursuing a higher martial arts realm. On this day, when she saw the legendary golden soft armor, her heart suddenly bloomed like a spring flower, and she was overjoyed. She was originally the top master in the world, but she didn't expect that the system would give her such a treasure. Once the two treasures were combined, she would not be afraid of any challenge, no matter how many masters there were in the world of Tang Dynasty.
This golden soft armor is said to be incredibly strong. It is a rare treasure that has been forged countless times. Even if you stand there for three days and three nights, there won't be even a crack in it. According to legend, it is as light as a feather, but can withstand all kinds of weapons in the world, and is invulnerable to water and fire. It is called a martial arts treasure.
Thinking of this, Li Qingge was so excited that his heart beat faster and he blurted out: "Put on the soft gold silk armor!" Before he finished speaking, the armor seemed to have been summoned, turning into a soft light and gathering gently. Her palm. The light dissipated, revealing a piece of soft armor as thin as cicada's wings. It felt extremely smooth, as if it was something otherworldly.
She took a closer look and saw that this armor was really extraordinary. It shone with a faint metallic luster, but was extremely soft, as if it could dance with the wind. What's even more amazing is that it is actually resistant to swords, water and fire. If the system hadn't given her a lot of good things before, she wouldn't have believed her eyes.
Now she believes it. With this armor, she is simply invincible, immortal! She was very happy, thinking: "With it, I can move freely among thousands of troops, come and go freely, how exciting!" Her eyes were shining with excitement, as if she had seen herself in the Tang Dynasty. The heroic posture of galloping freely.
However, Li Qingge suddenly realized that he seemed a little dizzy, and his face turned red. She calls herself a pure girl, why did she suddenly have such wild thoughts? She shook her head, trying to calm down.
"No, I have to test the power of this armor first, lest I find out it's just a decoration when we get into a fight." Li Qingge was always cautious in doing things, and she had to verify what the system said before she believed it. So, she took a deep breath, concentrated her energy, and covered her body with soft armor.
With a thought, the armor seemed to be weightless, and she put it on in a swish. It also emitted a soft light, covering her whole body tightly, even her face. Don't let it go. The light was warm and soft, as if covering her with an invisible shield.
"Wow! This armor is really all-round and has no blind spots. It not only protects my vitals, but also protects every inch of my skin." Li Qingge said in surprise, reaching out and touching his face. . The touch was as warm as jade and as smooth as silk, and she couldn't help but sigh: "It's like an indestructible body! What do you call golden soft armor? Just call it the indestructible buff."
She laughed. I touched my face and felt that my skin was warm and smooth, as tender as tofu. After all, she usually eats and drinks well, goes to bed early and gets up early, so her skin is naturally smooth and delicate, like a full moon. Wearing this armor, she felt as if she was not wearing any, light and comfortable, and she was amazed again.
"Isn't this Schrödinger's golden armor? Does it exist or not?" A trace of doubt flashed in her mind, worrying that this armor had any special triggering conditions. If it doesn't work if the conditions are not met, that would be terrible. She frowned, trying to calm down.
"The touch is so light, how can there be any triggering conditions?" She muttered in her heart, but decided to be careful. So, she ran to the martial arts training ground with a serious face, picked up a sword and tried it. She thought: "It would be great if this armor could automatically defend, so that I wouldn't have to think about how to use it all the time."
She was too lazy to say those second-rate words to activate the armor, so she just stabbed it gently with her sword. Touch the palm of your hand. Unexpectedly, the place where the sword tip just touched seemed to be blocked by metal armor, unable to penetrate at all. She exerted a little force before she felt that the tip of the sword encountered an obstacle, and the armor had already absorbed all the power on the sword.
“Wow! This is awesome!” Li Qingge jumped up with excitement, “It can indeed defend automatically! The system really understands me, and it gave me such a lazy way to protect me, but it’s still an absolute defense. Here!" She smiled happily, as if she had seen her invincible figure in the world.
She quickly said thank you to the system, and then became even more ecstatic. With this absolute defense, what else is she afraid of? Even if the greatest swordsman in the Tang Dynasty came, he would not be able to hurt her even a hair. She stood with her sword in hand, her eyes shining with confidence and unruly light.
And every time the sword touches the armor, the system will remind her how much her defense value has been reduced. However, the defense value was followed by a long string of nines, as if it had not decreased at all. She smiled and shook her head, thinking: "This system is really considerate, even the defense value is displayed to me in such detail."
"Hahaha! Great Tang Dynasty, I, Li Qingge, am here! Tomorrow I will let you know what it means to be truly invincible!" She stood with her sword in hand, looking up to the sky and smiling, her eyes filled with disdain for everyone. Her laughter was clear and sweet, as if filled with endless confidence and pride. She knew that with this golden soft armor, she would write her own legendary chapter in the Tang Dynasty.
After laughing, he put down the gleaming long sword and yawned one after another, as if all the fatigue of the past days poured out at this moment. He lazily walked into the bedroom, his steps heavy, and he looked exhausted. Li Qingge, who was once the emperor's favorite, now seemed so ordinary, as if all the glory and glory had been cut off with the closing of the door.
"This job was a blast. Even if I have stronger defense and strength, I still don't want to compete for the vain title of 'No. 1 in the world'." She said to herself, There was a bit of self-deprecation and relief in her voice, "No. 1 in the world? How can it be more comfortable than lying on the bed!" As she said that, she smiled softly. The smile contained both indifference to worldly fame and fortune, and helplessness to her own situation.
......
On the second day, the sky just turned white, and a faint morning light penetrated the mist, casting a mysterious veil on this ancient imperial city. In the main hall of the palace, officials stood neatly under hundreds of steps. Their figures stretched in the morning light, looking both solemn and anxious. Everyone was talking a lot, and the topic all revolved around one person - Li Qingge.
"This guy, who was a popular figure in front of the emperor yesterday, has been thrown into a hot potato in the blink of an eye. If he fails to complete the task, his life will be in danger." An old minister whispered, his eyes full of worry.
"Yes, I heard that this mission is extremely dangerous and dangerous, and even an extraordinary general cannot guarantee everything." Another official answered, his voice trembling.
Thinking of this, everyone murmured in their hearts. They exchanged glances, trying to find some comfort or answer in each other's eyes.
"I went to see Old General Cheng yesterday to ask him to intercede with His Majesty and take back his life. But the old man turned out to be very happy. He looked happy and said that this was a good opportunity for his son to gain experience." An old minister said with a smile on his face. He looked sad, shook his head, and had doubts in his eyes. His words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding generals were stunned. They looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe their ears.
"Experience? It sounds very high-end, but if you succeed, you will be rewarded. If you fail, you can learn lessons and keep trying. But if Li Qingge's experience fails, it will be a matter of moving his head. How can ordinary experience be compared? "A young general couldn't help but say, with a bit of indignation and confusion in his voice.
"This... General Cheng probably didn't realize the seriousness of the matter. Jun Wu said, if his son messes up, your majesty will not show mercy." Another general muttered, his His eyes were full of worry.
"Experience? This is not experience at all. It is simply pushing into a pit of fire!" An old minister sighed, his voice full of helplessness and grief.
"Could it be that His Majesty saw that General Cheng was incompetent and deliberately gave him problems?" As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces darkened, and they realized that the matter was not simple. Everyone knows that this guy Li Qingge has mediocre abilities. But His Majesty had no doubts about her and always asked her opinion on big and small matters. Everyone was anxious, thinking that His Majesty must have been obsessed with something.
Suddenly one day, His Majesty seemed to wake up and began to distance himself from this former favorite. Thinking of the ridiculous things she had done before, His Majesty became even more angry. But if you want to suddenly kick your favorite out, there must be a reason. So everyone speculated whether His Majesty wanted to take this opportunity to kill the Cheng family and his son. Thinking of His Majesty's iron-fisted methods during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, everyone's heart was pounding.
"This is a tricky matter. I'm afraid General Cheng will also be implicated." An old minister whispered, his voice full of worry and helplessness.
"That's right. If General Cheng can't save his son, how can General Tieniu just sit back and do nothing? With his fiery temper, he might risk his life to remonstrate with him, which will cause trouble if he offends Long Yan. "Yes." Another official answered, his eyes flashing with worry and uneasiness.
"Could it be that... Your Majesty, even General Tieniu..." Before he could finish his words, everyone's expressions had changed drastically. They realized that things had reached a critical juncture, and a storm seemed to be coming.
"The bird is gone but the bow is hidden, the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked." Is this historical lesson going to happen again to the Cheng family and his son? The veterans were trembling with fear and their faces were as pale as paper. They looked at each other with fear and despair in their eyes.
"Go to court!" At this moment, a little eunuch came slowly over with a whisk in his hand and shouted in a high voice. His voice was like a sharp knife, instantly cutting through the silence of the hall.
The ministers' hearts were in their throats. They were originally worried about Li Qingge, but now they began to fear their own fate. Your Majesty’s thoughts are truly unfathomable! They walked into the hall respectfully with an uneasy mood.
Suddenly, they discovered that Fang Xuanling and others were smiling, with an unfathomable meaning in their eyes. They seemed to have anticipated everything before them, as if everything was under their control.
"My lords, why should you worry? Everything your Majesty does is out of helplessness and for the sake of the overall situation! How could he do what you are worried about?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile, and there was something hidden in his words. It's full of mystery, as if every word contains deep meaning.
"Sir, do you have any suggestions?" An old minister's expression changed and he asked in a low voice. His voice was full of expectation and anxiety, as if he hoped Fang Xuanling could give them a clear answer.
"I dare not take it seriously. But what I want to say is when has His Majesty ever done something unreasonable? Since you have given the important task to General Cheng, you must believe that he can complete it." Fang Xuanling said calmly, "Even if he can't finish it, Your Majesty will find a way to help him." His words were like a reassurance, making the originally anxious ministers feel a little more at ease.
After saying these words, Fang Xuanling walked through the ministers with a smile, leaving the officials with stunned expressions. They looked at each other and finally realized. It turns out that Mr. Fang was telling everyone that His Majesty was not trying to embarrass Li Qingge but was testing her and training her.
Thinking of this, everyone’s knots were suddenly relieved and their mood suddenly became brighter. It turns out that His Majesty did not want Li Qingge’s life but wanted her to perform meritorious service! If nothing goes wrong, Li Qingge's status will skyrocket, and he may even become an important minister below one person and above ten thousand people.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but start to think: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you still say that he is not your illegitimate son? Although this was just a joke, it revealed the ministers' speculation and expectations about Li Qingge's future status.
"All the ministers have the right to report early but not to withdraw from the court." Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair calmly and calmly, with a smile on his face and a loud and powerful voice. He seemed to have everything under control and knew the thoughts of the ministers well.
The officials looked at me and I looked at you, but no one stood up to speak. At the beginning of the morning court, everyone was still thinking of risking their lives to remonstrate, but now they all understand that remonstrating at this time will hinder Li Qingge's career and anger His Majesty. So the best option is to wait and see.
"Since there is nothing to do, please retreat." Li Shimin smiled and waved his hand, indicating to the young eunuch to announce his resignation. His smile was both majestic and loving, like a father watching his child grow.
The little eunuch understood this and hurriedly picked up the memorial and followed Li Shimin into the inner hall. His steps were brisk and agile, as if he was also happy for the smooth ending of this morning court. Outside the main hall, the sun has filled the entire imperial city, and a new day has begun again.
