Chapter 377 Qingying comes suddenly!
Chapter 377 Qingying comes suddenly!
Hearing Xiao Tiangui's direct question, Li Changsheng smiled indifferently.
"General, if you don't trust me, just assume I'm drunk and talking nonsense!"
After Li Changsheng finished speaking, he picked up another glass of wine, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tiangui also smiled and had a glass of wine.
After the banquet was over, the personal guards came to report that someone from the Imperial City Office had also arrived.
The person who came from the Imperial City Bureau is an old acquaintance.
Snow!
Li Changsheng was quite surprised to see Bai Xue coming.
"Baixue, why are you here?"
Bai Xue frowned slightly and said, "Why, you don't welcome me?"
Li Changsheng shook his head like a rattle and said, "How could that be? I thought it was too late for you to come. How could I not welcome you? I just felt a little surprised!"
After hearing Li Changsheng's explanation, Bai Xue smiled like a flower.
"Not only am I here, the Commander is here too!"
Li Changsheng seemed even more surprised when he heard that Qingying had also come.
"Qingying is here too? Isn't she in seclusion?"
Bai Xue replied, "I've already left the customs!"
"Now she has broken through the shackles of life and death and advanced to the rank of Heavenly Grandmaster!"
When talking about the "Heavenly Grandmaster", Bai Xue's clear eyes were filled with envy.
Li Changsheng said: "It won't be long before you can break through the bottleneck and become a Heavenly Grandmaster!"
After receiving Li Changsheng's encouragement, Bai Xue seemed very excited.
She clenched her fists tightly, thinking to herself that she must practice diligently and strive to reach the level of a Heavenly Grandmaster as soon as possible.
After a brief greeting, Li Changsheng turned the topic to Qingying.
"Bai Xue, didn't you say Qingying is here too? Where is she?"
"I'm here!"
Before Li Changsheng could finish his words, a voice as cold as ice suddenly came from outside the door.
When he saw Qingying coming, Li Changsheng clasped his hands together to express his congratulations.
"Sister Qingying, congratulations on your advancement to become a Heavenly Grandmaster!"
There was no change of emotion on Qingying's face. She just nodded slightly as a response.
Bai Xue was a little afraid of Qingying, so when she saw her coming, she quickly found an excuse and ran away.
Li Changsheng asked, "Sister Qingying, why are you here?"
Qingying replied coldly: "Carry out the mission!"
Li Changsheng asked curiously, "What mission?"
Qingying: "Do I need to report to you about the mission I'm carrying out?"
Li Changsheng: "..."
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course not. I'm just curious and just asking casually!"
Qingying said coldly: "Being too curious is not a good thing!"
Li Changsheng smiled awkwardly and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Qingying asked, "Hasn't Xiao Tiangui been staying in Yecheng all this time? No matter what orders Your Majesty gave, he always feigned illness and refused to leave. Why is he suddenly in Handan now?"
Li Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there are only two reasons why this great general suddenly came to Handan."
Qingying asked with interest: "Oh, what are the two reasons?"
Li Changsheng held up a finger and said, "First, seeing me suddenly capture Handan, he found it unbelievable and came to see the details in person!"
Qingying nodded slightly, agreeing with the reason Li Changsheng gave.
Not to mention Xiao Tiangui.
Even she and His Majesty were shocked when they learned that Li Changsheng had traveled thousands of miles and captured Handan City with lightning speed.
One of Qingying's purposes for coming here this time was to find out the truth of the battle report and see whether it was true or false, and whether there was any water in it.
It now seems that the situation is much better than described in the battle report.
Li Changsheng not only took over Handan City with thundering means.
Surprisingly, order was restored in the city in a short period of time.
In fact, the public security in this city is much better than during the reign of King Zhao.
Moreover, she also secretly observed Li Changsheng's new army, the Tiance Guard.
Whether in terms of combat effectiveness or military discipline, they have already become elite.
If this trend continues, we just need to drag the Tiance Guards back to the battlefield and fight a few tough battles head-on.
After experiencing the baptism of blood and war in this way, perhaps they can be completely reborn and become an elite force that can rival the Dragon Guards.
For Your Majesty, obtaining Li Changsheng is truly like a blessing from heaven.
Qingying thought for a while before asking another question.
"What about the second reason?"
Li Changsheng said, "If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Tiangui is testing the waters by getting involved himself to see how much tolerance His Majesty has for him."
Qingying pondered for a moment and carefully digested Li Changsheng's story.
"You mean to say that once Xiao Tiangui realizes that His Majesty's tolerance for him is limited and has already reached its limit, he will rise up in rebellion?"
Li Changsheng nodded solemnly: "Yes, otherwise, Xiao Tiangui would worry that his achievements would surpass his master and he would follow in the footsteps of Jiang Kuanglong and King Zhao, and end up with his entire family destroyed!"
"Therefore, if he feels that His Majesty is going to attack him with real weapons, he will definitely not sit still and wait for death!"
Qingying also agreed with what Li Changsheng said.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here from afar right after coming out of seclusion.
Before coming, she had already conducted detailed deductions with the Empress.
This is the worst possible way to deduce it.
Xiao Tiangui was worried that he would be purged, so he decided to take the initiative and rebel.
By then, Li Changsheng, who is His Majesty's right-hand man and confidant, will definitely become the general's primary target.
Qingying was concerned about Li Changsheng's safety, so she rushed here day and night.
"Sister Qingying, you haven't eaten yet, come over, I'll have someone prepare it for you right away!"
Qingying shook her head: "No, since you have nothing to do here, I have to rush back tonight to report the details to His Majesty!"
Li Changsheng was very surprised to hear that Qingying was about to leave after just arriving.
"Sister Qingying, take a night's rest before you leave. You don't take care of yourself. If you exhaust yourself, I'll be heartbroken!"
Qingying rolled her eyes at Li Changsheng and said, "Stop talking nonsense in front of me. I think you're just hoping I'll leave soon!"
Li Changsheng said, "Sister Qingying, the heavens and the earth can bear witness to this. I have never had such thoughts before!"
Qingying rolled her eyes, and the word "disbelief" was almost written on her face.
Suddenly, she thought of something else and asked, "By the way, I heard that you killed Zhao Wuji. Is this true?"
Li Changsheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's true!"
Qingying still found it hard to believe and asked, "Did you kill him alone?"
Li Changsheng: "..."
If I am not a person, then am I half a person?
"I guess so, Sister Qingying, what's wrong? Is there any problem with this?"
Qingying shook her head: "It's okay!"
"Please take me out of the city. I have something to tell you!"
Li Changsheng nodded and headed out of the city with Qingying.
After leaving Handan City, Li Changsheng saw that Qingying had not spoken a word, so he asked curiously.
"Sister Qingying, is there anything else you want to tell me?"
Qingying said, "After this matter is settled, His Majesty intends to have you go to Yannan!"
Li Changsheng asked, "What happened to Yannan? Wasn't Xiao Yunyong there to wipe out the Tiandi League?"
Qingying said, "After Xiao Yunyong went to Yannan, the Tiandi Alliance was not only not destroyed, but it became more and more serious."
"Now, the Tiandao League in the south and north of Yan is almost connected into one."
"Even the governor of Yannan County sent by His Majesty died suddenly and inexplicably."
"Your Majesty suspects that Xiao Yunyong is responsible for the county governor's death, so he asked you to go over and investigate thoroughly."
"By the way, let's destroy the Tiandao League as well."
Li Changsheng: "..."
The empress not only asked him to investigate the death of the Yannan County Magistrate.
He was also asked to destroy the Tiandao League along the way.
What does this make him the empire's fire chief?
Seeing Li Changsheng's slightly solemn expression, Qingying frowned slightly and asked, "Why, you don't want to go?"
Li Changsheng shook his head repeatedly: "Not really, I'm very willing!"
He and the empress have long known each other well and understand each other's personalities very well.
Once something is determined, no one can change it.
Therefore, although Li Changsheng was somewhat reluctant, he went to Yannan.
But I still agreed happily.
"Sister Qingying, should I go directly to Yannan, or go back to Luodu first?"
Qingying said, "Let's go back to Luodu first. His Majesty may have other things to tell you!"
Li Changsheng asked: "When will I go back?"
Qingying said: "Once we have arranged things here, we can return home!"
Qingying looked up at the night sky and said, "We're already thirty miles out of the city. Don't send me off any longer. Let's go back!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng immediately showed an expression of reluctance to leave.
"Sister Qingying, you said we haven't seen each other for so long. I really can't bear to part ways right after we met. Can't you stay and accompany me for another night so that I can ease my longing for you!"
Hearing Li Changsheng suddenly say so many disgusting words gave Qingying goosebumps all over her body.
"If you want me to stay for one night, that's fine, but I have a request!"
Li Changsheng was startled when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "What request?"
Qingying said, "Defeat me!"
Li Changsheng also wanted to know how powerful Qingying was after he was promoted to the Heavenly Grandmaster.
So he readily agreed.
Afterwards, the two of them came to a quiet valley.
Standing opposite each other!
A gust of night wind blew towards them, making the corners of their clothes rustle.
"Sister Qingying, you make the first move!"
Qingying naturally did not show any courtesy to Li Changsheng and immediately performed the Liuyun Zhuiyue technique.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Li Changsheng.
"So fast!"
Even though Li Changsheng was known for his physical skills, he was still shocked when he saw Qingying, who was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing mysteriously.
Just as he was in shock, he saw a shadow breaking through the air and slashing down.
Seeing this, Li Changsheng quickly raised his arms to block.
"Dang clang!"
Although Qingying and Li Changsheng did not use weapons.
But the sound of metal collision still broke out.
The violent true energy quickly spread out in all directions like water waves.
Even the nearby flowers, plants, and trees were completely destroyed, mixed with flying sand and rocks, dancing in the air.
"Dengdengdeng!"
After a violent collision, Li Changsheng and Qingying both retreated almost at the same time.
Both sides retreated more than ten steps before they both managed to stabilize their center of gravity.
Li Changsheng felt Qingying's attack was so sharp that he was quite shocked.
It seems that Qingying has just broken through and been promoted to the celestial grandmaster.
But the combat power he displayed was in no way inferior to that of the veteran heavenly-level grandmaster Zhao Wuji.
Compared to Li Changsheng, Qingying was even more shocked.
She never expected that her previous move could not break Li Changsheng's defense.
It seems that this guy has really received the true teachings of Buddhism.
If you want to defeat him, it seems you have to get serious!
Thinking of this, Qingying's mind changed and her eyes became as focused as a rainbow.
The hems of clothes rustled without wind...
