Chapter 38
"This..." Li Shimin's smile froze instantly, and his heart felt cold. He thought Li Qingge had some great ideas, but unexpectedly he rejected him directly. At this moment, he seemed to hear a distant voice ringing in his ears. The voice was a little joking, but full of confidence.
【Ask me? Although I have a mountain of food, I cannot use it easily, lest I violate the rules of the system. 】
【Let’s talk about manpower. As the master of several sects in the world, they respect me like a god. As long as they give me a little benefit, I can gather a large group of people. 】
【There are also those foreigners, as long as there is money to be made, they will also flock here. 】
Li Qingge thought about it in her mind, and finally said: "In this world, there is no problem that money cannot solve." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had seen the victory in the future.
When Li Shimin heard this, a ray of hope seemed to shine into the abyss of despair. He thought in surprise: "This kid actually hid so much food and money? Where did she get all these huge sums of money?" The idea of river management burned in his heart again. "She alone wants to build a dam to control the river? No matter where her money comes from, her heart is already very rare."
Li Shimin is thinking about how to find an excuse to control the river. When the task was handed over to Li Qingge, she heard her voice again, with a hint of cunning and expectation in her voice.
[Although there is plenty of money and food, there must be a justifiable reason. 】
【That’s right! Money is a good person! 】
[He is now the richest man in Datang, and no one will doubt that he will provide the capital. 】
【How can we suggest that His Majesty is using money in the name of doing good deeds? 】
Li Qingge frowned, thinking about the important national matter of river management. If you succeed, you might even get a heavy reward from the system, return to your original world, create greater glory, and compete with the old horse. Thinking of this, her heart surged, and her eyes shone with determination.
"Qian Dashan?" Li Shimin suddenly realized that this kid is really smart! Doing good deeds through borrowing money not only solves the financial problem but also avoids unnecessary trouble. If the good person Qian can come forward, then food and money will not be a problem.
The monarch and his ministers exchanged a tacit look. Although they were calm on the surface, they were in a state of turmoil inside. Li Qingge's inadvertently revealed voice made Li Shimin more determined to hand over the important task of river management to her.
"It is not easy to manage the Yellow River, but if we back down, we will give up on the people downstream. If the Yellow River floods again, the lives of the people will be in danger." "This is definitely not what we in Datang should do! "So, my determination to control the Yellow River is as strong as a rock, and no one can shake it!" Li Shimin said with a serious face, his voice echoed in the empty hall, and all the officials were stunned after hearing this.
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the officials bowed their heads in agreement, but they had mixed feelings in their hearts. Some of them marveled at Li Qingge's intelligence, while others were worried about the arduous task of river management.
"Although the national treasury is empty, we can ask for help from wealthy private businessmen." "General Cheng, you worked very happily with Qian Dashan when you were controlling floods in Jiangnan. Can you visit him again? How about asking him to donate generously to help us manage the Yellow River?" Li Shimin looked at Li Qingge with a smile, his eyes full of expectation and trust.
"I will do my best." Li Qingge nodded in agreement, but was secretly happy in his heart.
【I was worried about how to attract the good man Qian, but Your Majesty actually brought it up first. How great! 】
[This saves a lot of trouble. Officials will definitely say that even with the help of rich and kind people, the Yellow River may not be able to be successfully controlled. 】
【But they don’t know who is the real richest man in the Tang Dynasty. 】
Li Qingge smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and the aura of wealth almost overflowed. Her heart was full of confidence and expectation, as if she had already seen the victory in the future. She knew that this battle to control the river would be an excellent opportunity for her to leave a mark in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
"Hey, this..."
The scene in front of them stunned the civil and military officials of the whole court. They couldn't believe their ears. Is Your Majesty asking for help from that kind man Qian? In the main hall, the candlelight flickered, reflecting on everyone's face, forming mottled light and shadow, adding to the incredible atmosphere.
Although the Qian family is as rich as any country, how can they pile up mountains of food in the blink of an eye? Even if he could, how could he be willing to donate it all? The doubts in everyone's minds are growing like wild weeds. They never imagined that the wise Li Shimin would come up with such an idea.
"Your Majesty, which song are you singing?" An old minister stroked his beard, frowning, and his eyes were full of confusion.
“This method is really confusing.” Another minister shook his head, looking confused.
"Although Qian Dashan is a good man, he can't give away his entire property, right? Besides, his little wealth may not be enough to manage the river." A young official whispered softly, revealing in his words A little worried.
"Yes, managing the river is more difficult and risky than fighting a war." Another general agreed, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, what do you think?" A minister couldn't help but ask, with a bit of urgency in his voice.
When His Majesty makes a decision, everyone will praise it even if not all of them say good things. Today was uncharacteristically no one dared to agree. Use a good man's money to control the river? And send some unreliable people to do it? This is simply a fantasy!
Everyone has turned their attention to veterans such as Fang Xuanling, hoping that they can stand up and say a few words. But Fang Xuanling and the others were also confused and had not yet come to their senses. Their eyes revealed a bit of confusion and confusion, as if they were also shocked by His Majesty's decision.
At this moment, Wei Zheng took a step forward as if he had woken up from a dream, his face serious. He knew that the Qian family was rich, but he didn't believe that Qian Dashan could be so generous. If this matter is messed up, not only will the river fail to be cured, but it may also become a laughing stock for future generations. When the time comes, it will be written off in the history books, and what will be left is just a joke, right?
"Your Majesty, you should think twice before you act!" Wei Zheng's voice was filled with sincerity and worry.
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin interrupted Wei Zheng's words with a wave of his hand, his face obviously unhappy. There was some firmness and determination in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
"No need to say more, I have made up my mind. Within three days, General Cheng will have news. Before that, I have my own arrangements. Within a few days, my plan will be successful." Li Shimin There was a bit of confidence and majesty in his voice.
After saying that, he clasped his hands behind his back, turned around and walked towards the inner hall, with a smug smile on his lips. There was a bit of mystery and confidence in that smile, as if he had already seen his future success.
Li Qingge, who was standing aside, felt so excited in his heart. Her eyes shone with excitement and anticipation, as if she had already seen her future glory.
【I didn’t expect this task to be so important? If the river control is successful, it will be a major event that will benefit all generations. I will definitely be rewarded when the time comes. ] Li Qingge thought to herself, the corners of her mouth curved, and her eyes were full of longing.
[When the time comes, I don’t know how much honor your Majesty will give me. Am I really the chosen one? ] She thought proudly in her heart, as if she had seen herself standing at the pinnacle of glory.
Since traveling to this world, Li Qingge has relied on the system for help and gained a lot of benefits. But compared with those real chosen ones, I always feel that there is still something missing. The greatest achievement is to become a master of martial arts. Well now, a major task like river management falls on our shoulders. If we can succeed, it will be truly earth-shattering.
"We must act quickly. First, cultivate more fertile fields to ensure sufficient food." Li Qingge thought secretly in her heart, with a bit of determination and determination in her eyes.
"We have to find a way to get the money and manpower together." She frowned. Although she was excited, she also knew that the task was difficult and she had to go into battle in person.
Thinking of this, she slowly walked out of the hall with her hands behind her back. There is a certain calmness and confidence in her steps, as if she has seen future success.
The officials also came out one after another, looking at her with strange eyes, full of confusion and doubts on their faces. They didn't understand why His Majesty would give such an important task to a person who seemed so relaxed. This is simply making fun of Datang's future!
"What song is your Majesty singing? How can such a big thing as river management be such a trivial matter?" A minister couldn't help but muttered, with a bit of dissatisfaction and doubt in his voice.
"That kid is a waste. How can he succeed? I'm afraid even the gods can't help him." Another minister echoed, with a bit of contempt and disdain in his eyes.
"That's right. If there is not enough money and food, our Tang Dynasty will really become a joke." A young official whispered softly, with a bit of worry and uneasiness in his voice.
"The foreigners know this and still don't laugh out loud?" Another general snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with anger and dissatisfaction.
All the officials were heartbroken. They could not understand why His Majesty made such a decision. Is it really a wrong step and a wrong step? Their hearts were full of doubts and uneasiness, as if they saw the bleak future of Datang.
However, Li Qingge ignored these doubts and dissatisfaction. She just had a contemptuous smile on her lips, and her eyes shone with a bit of confidence. She knows that excellent people are always prone to jealousy and resentment. This is normal. She doesn't care what these officials think, because she knows that she has the golden finger of the system, and as long as she works hard, she will succeed.
Li Qingge's figure gradually faded away, leaving the whole court with sighs and confusion. But her heart was already filled with longing and expectations for the future. She knows that this will be a difficult battle, but she also believes that as long as she works hard, she will be able to create a glorious era of her own.
Speaking of this guy Li Qingge, what is his background? Hey, many people murmured in private that he was just a young man with no real abilities! If it weren't for his father Cheng Yaojin's well-known name, he might never have even thought about stepping into this court in his entire life. If everyone doesn't talk to him directly, it's because of General Cheng's face. After all, Cheng Yaojin fought on the battlefield throughout his life and made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Who can disrespect him? Who is not afraid?
It’s strange, why is our Majesty so fascinated by him? This is really confusing. Is it possible that the recent rumors are true? Are you saying that there is some confusion between Li Qingge and His Majesty? Oh, if this were true, the hat on General Cheng’s head would be shiny green! As soon as these words came out, everyone's thoughts became more determined, and they all cast questioning glances, but they did not dare to discuss it openly.
While there was a lot of discussion, a voice suddenly came from a loud voice, which shocked everyone. "Don't underestimate me. Who said Li Qingge is good for nothing? Think about it, why does Mr. Qian Dashan always donate food so generously? Isn't it because of General Cheng's face?" Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads and saw Fang Xuan. Ling strode over with a look of righteousness on his face.
"Master Fang, what do you mean by this?" Upon hearing this, everyone frowned and looked at Fang Xuanling, their hearts filled with curiosity and doubt. Fang Xuanling smoothed his beard, smiled, and said slowly, with eyes shining: "Don't forget, Qian Dashan's charity started after General Cheng's visit. From then on, donating food became a priority. It's not broken. I don't believe that General Cheng was not involved in this matter!" After saying that, he smiled bitterly, walked out of the palace gate leisurely, leaving all the officials looking at each other.
After a while, everyone started to whisper. "Master Fang, do you mean that there is some secret behind General Cheng that we don't know about?" "Well, this sounds reasonable." "It seems that this kid Li Qingge is really not simple!" At this time, Li Qingge The image in everyone's mind has completely changed, and doubts are everywhere.
As for our Li Qingge, he had already left the palace gate, mounted a fast horse, and returned to Cheng Mansion in a hurry. She was wearing an elegant dress with fluttering skirts, like a fairy descending to earth. After returning to the Cheng Mansion, she first lay down on the brocade couch, rested for a while, and enjoyed the tranquility and serenity of the mansion. Then as usual, she strolled to the back garden, played with flowers and plants, and then went to look at the thousand acres of fertile land. She was thinking in her mind that if she could find a way to reclaim this wasteland to grow food, then she would not have to worry about river management.
【Oh, I hope the system can open a backdoor, otherwise I have to ask that guy Li Shimin to give me a piece of land. 】 Li Qingge muttered to himself, "Although this wilderness is huge, it's difficult to get him to open his mouth and grant land!" ] She sighed and decided to try her Tiangong Lao Niu. If Lao Niu could do it, wouldn't this land automatically become hers?
"Tiangong Lao Niu, come out!" Li Qingge looked around to make sure no one was peeping, and then released Lao Niu from the system. The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and there was lightning and thunder, as if the whole world was shaken. With a flash of golden light, Lao Niu turned into a dragon-shaped shadow and appeared majestically in mid-air, like an invincible god of war.
"Roar——!" Lao Niu roared out, mixed with the thunder, making the whole city of Chang'an tremble. The livestock and poultry were so frightened that they ran around. When the people looked up, they felt awe in their hearts that was beyond words. They all started talking: "What on earth is going on?"
"Did His Majesty's river control work offend God?" Everyone was so panicked that no one dared to mess up. Guess.
Looking at the wilderness, dark clouds were pressing down, like fog. Li Qingge stood in the wind, his clothes fluttering, but his face was not panic at all. She looked at the dragons and tigers roaring in the sky with a smile, feeling so proud in her heart. She thought to herself: "Tiangong Lao Niu is different. He can split the sky. Isn't it a piece of cake to cultivate wasteland? As long as Lao Niu comes out, this land will be as soft as tofu. When the time comes, this land will be as soft as tofu." But it’s mine! Hey, my green territory can be expanded again!”
Although Li Qingge felt confident, his hands were still sweating. She took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Tiangong Lao Niu! It's time to take action!" As soon as she finished speaking, a thunder struck down. The old cow rushed down following the thunder, as if it was about to tear the earth apart. But just as he was about to be buried, he seemed to have hit some barrier. He twisted his body a few times and rose up into the sky, lingering in the dark clouds, not daring to come down again.
"Oops! Misstep!" Li Qingge's face turned dark when he saw this posture, and his heart felt as cold as if he had eaten a popsicle. She stared at the old cow in the sky with wide eyes, filled with doubts and unwillingness. She thought to herself: "What's going on? Is there anything special about this wasteland? Why can't even the old cows plow it?" She frowned and began to think carefully.
[It seems that it is simply not feasible to exploit the loopholes in the system to open up this wilderness. ] Li Qingge stood in front of the window, looking at the vast uncultivated land outside the window, thinking secretly in his heart. The sun shines through the sparse clouds and shines on her face, coating her slightly firm outline with a soft golden edge. Her eyes were deep, as if she could see into the essence of everything in the world, but at this moment, there was a trace of unnoticeable worry.
[In other words, as I thought, if I want to get this so-called wilderness, I must have it given to me by Li Shimin. 】 She sighed softly, turned back to the desk, and lightly traced the map on the desk with her fingertips. The wasteland was like an unsolved mystery, lying quietly in her plan. Her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was weighing the pros and cons.
[It is easy to make a contribution, but it is inevitable that you will become famous all over the world. In this way, you will...] Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden inspiration, and a cunning light flashed in her eyes. Li Qingge stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the prosperous Chang'an City in the distance, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, and there was a look of surprise on her face, as if she had a flash of inspiration and found the key to solving the problem. "No, I don't have to ask him to reward me with this land. If I pay for it..." She whispered to herself, her eyes shining with confidence.
The corners of Li Qingge's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mischievous smile. It was a smile that mixed wisdom and cunning, making people wonder what she would do next. At this moment, a bold idea emerged in her heart, like a bud bursting out of the ground in spring, full of vitality and hope.
In Tongbao Bank, there was a lot of people and excitement. The collision of copper coins, silver and gold ingots was like sweet music, reverberating in the bank, making up the most beautiful sound in the world. Here is the intersection of wealth and dreams, attracting the attention of countless people.
In a shady spot in the backyard, Qian Toyota was lying on a rocking chair, enjoying a moment of tranquility. He opened his eyes slightly, with a satisfied look on his face, as if the prosperity of the world was under his control.
"The sound just now should be the sound of white gold. If I guess correctly, it is a wealthy businessman from other places who came to deposit money." He murmured to himself, with a trace of pride flashing in his eyes.
"Our business at Tongbao Bank is getting better and better, and our wealth is booming! All this is thanks to big brother." He was filled with emotion, and he couldn't help but think of Li Qingge's heroic figure in his mind. Awe and gratitude.
However, the next second, his brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. Although that kid is a God of Wealth, in life, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. Although it is difficult to guess what kind of huge power he has behind him, he is obviously tied to him. Whether it is blessing or misfortune depends entirely on God's will. However, Qian Toyota doesn't really care at the moment. Even if disaster eventually befell him, he had once been famous, and had the reputation of "Qian Dashan", and even shocked the entire city of Chang'an. Thinking about it this way, he already felt that he had no regrets in this life.
The hall was full of people, and bursts of exclamations came from time to time, which were praise and admiration for Qian Dashan and his bank.
“Is this the money bank of Mr. Qian Dashan?” a wealthy businessman from other places exclaimed, his eyes full of awe.
"I heard that the owner here is a very kind person! He even donated all the food for the floods in the south of the Yangtze River." Another wealthy businessman said, his tone full of admiration.
"All the grain? Isn't this looking down on Mr. Qian? He just took out some of the grain in his warehouse and solved the problem of floods in the south of the Yangtze River." The person next to him corrected, with a twinkle in his eye Endless worship of money Toyota.
“Only a part?”
“Of course! I heard that he has an inexhaustible granary. If you take out a bag of grain from it, the granary will be It’s amazing to be able to replenish two bags of food automatically.”
“So, he is the richest man in the Tang Dynasty?”
“Is that necessary?”
Although these words are exaggerated and legendary, they are undoubtedly praising Qian Toyota's generosity and wealth. And Qian Toyota, whenever he heard such a voice, he couldn't help but sneer, secretly laughing at the ignorance and naivety of the world.
An inexhaustible granary? What a joke! How could such a thing happen in this world? Isn't it because of General Cheng that the food was able to appear smoothly? Moreover, the source of the food was unknown and could only be donated by one's own hands, which shows how thoughtful General Cheng was. On the surface, he seems to be a complete waste and has a very bad reputation in Chang'an City. However, only Qian Toyota knows how deep his city is.
Every time he thought of this, Qian Toyota couldn't help but take a deep breath, and felt a chill down his spine. He always felt that the water in Chang'an was too deep, and behind Li Qingge, there was an unimaginable power.
"Master, someone wants to see you." At this moment, a waiter walked in quickly, interrupting Qian Toyota's thoughts.
Qian Toyota frowned and rolled his eyes: "No! Didn't you see that I am lying here to rest?" He suddenly felt anxious. Since he became famous, there has been a steady stream of wealthy businessmen coming here. Absolutely, it made him extremely annoyed.
However, the guy did not retreat, but said hesitantly: "But..."
"There is nothing good to say. I just need to tell those who ask for a meeting that I am not feeling well today and let them know." Go as far as you can," Qian Toyota interrupted impatiently.
"Really? Mr. Qian Dashan shut the door on me so quickly?" At this moment, a slow voice suddenly sounded behind the guy, with a bit of joking and ridicule. .
Qian Toyota's expression changed, and he hurriedly turned over to sit up, but fell directly from the recliner. The moment he got up, his face was already filled with a smile, as if he had seen a long-lost relative.
"It turns out to be the eldest brother! Where did the eldest brother come from? Just tell me if you have any orders, and I will try my best to do it." He said respectfully, his back suddenly sank, and his face was filled with tears. A flattering look.
Seeing this scene in front of him, the guy couldn't help but be confused. What's going on? This young man looks very ordinary. Why would the boss call him brother? And it looked like he was meeting his real big brother.
"Why don't you hurry up and make tea? What are you doing here?" Qian Toyota kicked the guy in the butt and urged.
“Yes, yes, yes!” The waiter suddenly realized and hurriedly ran to make the best tea.
"Business has been very good recently." Li Qingge said casually with a faint smile, and then sat casually on the recliner, as if this was her home.
"It's all thanks to my eldest brother. Without my eldest brother, my Tongbao Bank would never have the scale it is today, and it would never have such a good business." Qian Toyota nodded and bowed, naturally he didn't dare Take credit for yourself.
"I came here today because I have something important for you to do." Li Qingge said calmly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.
"I heard... I heard a little bit. Could it be that this matter has something to do with my eldest brother?" Qian Toyota's expression changed, and he was suddenly shocked. Why did the elder brother suddenly bring up this matter? Could it be...
Sure enough, at this moment, Li Qingge said lightly: "Although it has nothing to do with me, it has something to do with you. Today you have to do something for me."
"No matter what you say, big brother, I will try my best to do it." Qian Toyota straightened his waist, looking obligated.
"You will meet the emperor in person today to buy the wasteland in the north of the city. No matter how much it costs, you must succeed!" Li Qingge's words were concise and clear, but revealed unquestionable determination.
"What?" Qian Toyota was shocked, his eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't believe his ears. He never expected that Li Qingge would ask him to do such a thing. However, looking at Li Qingge's determined eyes, he knew that he had to go all out on this matter.
Qian Toyota was stunned for a moment, and then quickly came to his senses, his face regaining its former calmness and shrewdness. "Don't worry, brother, I will go all out on this matter, but..." He paused slightly, seeming a little worried, "Although that piece of wasteland seems useless, if the emperor knows our intentions, I'm afraid it will be expensive."< br>
Li Qingge smiled softly, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes. "Price is not an issue, the key is speed and confidentiality. You need to complete the transaction as quickly as possible, and do not let outsiders know that the matter is related to us. As for the silver, I will arrange it myself."
Qian Toyota News He said that although he had doubts in his heart, what was more important was his trust and respect for Li Qingge. He nodded and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I understand what was done. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to meet the saint, and I will definitely live up to my trust."
The next day, Qian Fengtian was born. Wearing gorgeous clothes and holding a name card, he stepped into the gate of the palace. After some dealings, he finally got the opportunity to meet Li Shimin. In the imperial study, Qian Fengtao talked eloquently, asking the emperor to grant him the wasteland in the north of the city to reclaim on the grounds of developing agriculture and benefiting the people, and promised to invest a lot of money to turn it into fertile land.
After hearing this, Li Shimin was quite moved. In addition, Qian Toyota had a good reputation among the people, so he readily agreed and sold the wasteland to Qian Toyota at a symbolic price. The transaction was completed quickly and quietly, just as Li Qingge wanted.
When the news came back, Li Qingge was heartbroken. She knew that this was only the first step of the plan. In the days that followed, she made secret arrangements and used Qian Toyota's bank as a cover to quietly inject funds into the development of wasteland. At the same time, she recruited skilled craftsmen to design and build a series of water conservancy facilities, which gradually brought life to the originally barren land.
A few months later, when a scene of lush greenery and abundant crops appeared in front of the world, everyone was shocked. Li Qingge, on the other hand, stood high up, looking at the land transformed by her single-handed planning, and her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment and pride.
She has not forgotten her original intention. This land is not only her wealth, but also the cornerstone for her to realize her ideals. She decided to build this place into a comprehensive community integrating agriculture, handicrafts, and education, so that more people could benefit and truly realize the "paradise" in her heart.
Qian Toyota also gained unprecedented prestige and benefits from this cooperation. He is even more convinced that following Li Qingge is the wisest choice in his life. The cooperation between the two not only changed the fate of that wasteland, but also quietly rewrote the future of Chang'an and even the entire Tang Dynasty.
In the 22nd year of Qianlong's reign, the capital city was as prosperous as a dream, but it also hid mysteries. The spring breeze blows through the winding alleys of the Bada Hutong, and they all seem to carry some unknown secrets. Deep in this alley, Baixiang Tower is like an enchanting flower in the dark night, quietly blooming with its temptation and danger. Behind this building, there is an inconspicuous small courtyard hidden. In the small courtyard, a dilapidated woodshed with the door tightly closed seems to be the epitome of all the suffering in the world.
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong, I really want to go home!" This weak cry is like the faintest starlight in the night sky. It tries hard to penetrate the darkness, but is ruthlessly blocked in the end. Devour.
"Mom, Dad, where are you? Take me home quickly." The girl's voice was filled with endless longing and despair. Every call she made was like a heavy hammer. It touches the heart of Li Qingge who is also trapped here.
"I really don't want to entertain those guests. The people here all have hideous faces. Who can save me from this sea of misery?" This helpless plea is like the last words in winter. A fallen leaf falls alone, but no one cares about it.
Li Qingge reluctantly opened his heavy eyelids, the world in front of him was blurry and dim. She struggled to see everything around her clearly, and saw that this small space was crowded with more than a dozen young girls. Their faces looked particularly childish under the dim light, but their eyes were full of fear and pain. They were wearing tattered long-sleeved clothes, and their hands and feet were tightly bound by thick hemp ropes, as if they were birds imprisoned by fate and had lost the freedom to fly.
"Where is this? Have I traveled through time again?" Li Qingge was confused. She tried to recall why she appeared here, but her mind went blank. Only a severe headache came like a tide.
Suddenly, a strong memory pierced the night sky like lightning, illuminating her thoughts.
Travelled through time!
I actually traveled through time again!
This time, she actually traveled to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!
The original owner of this body, also named Li Qingge, was a helpless girl who was adopted by a peasant couple named Jin. She was supposed to live an ordinary and happy life, but due to an accident, her parents died and she was also The evil uncle was sold into a brothel.
Li Qingge's heart sank to the bottom. She looked around and felt what these girls were going through. Some of them were abducted, some were robbed, and some were sold by their relatives. Each of them was burdened with an unknown tragic story. But she, the soul who originally traveled to the Tang Dynasty, unexpectedly became one of them. This fate made her feel extremely desperate.
“Alas!” Li Qingge sighed bitterly in her heart. She thought of the heroines in those time-travel novels, who were either high-ranking princesses, princesses, or the prince’s sidekicks, enjoying the glory, wealth, and love. But she became a rural girl in the dust, facing unknown fear and humiliation.
Just when she was feeling discouraged, a soft and cute voice suddenly sounded in her mind, like a ray of warm sunshine in spring, penetrating the cold and darkness.
【Ding! It is detected that the host has traveled through time and the system is activating...】
system? Li Qingge was stunned for a moment, and then an indescribable joy surged in his heart. Goldfinger is coming! As an old reader of time travel and rebirth stories, she is well aware of the power and magic of the system. With the system, she may be able to change her own destiny, and even change the tragedy of this era.
Just as she was immersed in joy, the system's voice sounded again, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
[The system has been activated, please host choose a life template! 】
[1. A royal princess, recognize her ancestors and return to her clan, help her mother defeat her favorite concubine, support her brothers to succeed to the throne, find a talented and beautiful consort, and live a happy life! 】
[Second, rebel and become king, sweep the feudal dross into the dust of history, build a new society where men and women are equal, and become a heroine who will leave a name in history! 】
Li Qingge was stunned, royal princess? She was filled with doubts. Wasn't Li Qingge an orphan? Why did she suddenly become a royal princess?
[Answer the host, your current true body is actually the fifth daughter of the Emperor Qianlong and his successor Nala, the direct descendant of Princess Gu Lun, the authentic Golden Branch and Jade Leaf. ] The system's voice was calm and firm, as if it was revealing a fate that had already been determined.
Li Qingge had mixed feelings in her heart. She was both surprised and confused. It turns out that she is the most noble daughter of this era and the flesh and blood of Emperor Qianlong. But why did she end up here and become a poor woman in a brothel? What kind of secrets and conspiracies are hidden in this?
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner turmoil. No matter what happened in the past, now that she has a system, she has a chance to change her destiny. She must seize this opportunity to find a bright way out for herself and for these girls who are also behind bars.
So, she made a firm choice: "I choose... to rebel and become king!" Although her voice was small, it was full of determination and strength. She knows that this is a road full of thorns, but she is willing to challenge this unfair world for the sake of freedom and equality, and for those who are suffering like her.
The system's voice sounded again, with a hint of approval: [Host selection was successful, the Rebellion King template has been loaded. Please prepare your hosts for the upcoming challenges. 】
Li Qingge closed his eyes and felt the power surging within his body. She knew that from this moment on, her destiny would completely change. She is no longer the weak village girl, but Princess Gu Lun who is about to cause a storm. She will use her wisdom and courage to bring unprecedented changes to this era.
In this revolution, she not only wants to fight for freedom for herself, but also creates a better future for those who have been tricked by fate like her. She believes that as long as there is light in the heart, hope will never be extinguished.
