The empress's leather-covered hand froze slightly, then she put down the wine glass with a smile.
"Well, I will have a frank talk with Your Highness. If Your Highness can tell me the reason, I will hand over the Longquan Sword to Your Highness."
Let’s be honest, this is not good…
Looking at the main hall where they were alone, Li Jing thought secretly.
The empress stood up, walked to the center of the hall with her hands behind her hands, and looked straight at Li Jing with her beautiful eyes.
"How did you know that I was not your brother? How did you learn about my brother?"
"I hope you think clearly about the limits of my tolerance when you speak..."
"Miao territory, twelve caves."
Li Jing put down the wine glass and lightly interrupted the empress' words.
The empress was startled, and then her beautiful eyes widened. She was obviously a little angry because her words were interrupted by Li Jing.
Unexpectedly, the empress looked a little cute when she was angry...
"Li Maozhen listened to Yuan Tiangang and ran away from the Qi Kingdom for fifteen years. It would be for you to rule the Qi Kingdom for fifteen years as a daughter, just for the secret of the Longquan Sword."
Li Jing simply stopped eating and stood up to face the empress.
"Yuan Tiangang coaxed him to go to Twelve Cave to learn about the Longquan treasure, but Twelve Cave is just a rumor after all..."
"You also know that Twelve Cave is just a rumor, and it has been fifteen years since my brother left. How did you get the news about him!"
The empress spoke coldly, clenching the fingers of her hands hidden behind her, staring at Li Jing with burning eyes.
Li Jing was stunned. He really hadn't figured out how to make up this reason, but he still looked at the empress without blinking.
"Have you ever heard of divination?"
Without giving the empress time to react, Li Jing walked around the table in front of her and began to pace left and right, tapping her fingers in the air.
"One line determines good and bad luck, and life is impermanent. Although blessings, misfortunes, sorrows and joys can be measured, the hexagrams are always empty if the temperament is not grouped."
After a pause and forgetting what to say next, Li Jing turned around with an inscrutable look on his face: "Based on the hexagram technique I learned from Yuan Tiangang, I can predict that Li Maozhen has indeed found the Twelve Cave..."
The empress' voice was already somewhat sulky.
"Li Jing! Do you think I'm a fool?"
Not fooled?
Li Jing shrugged and approached the empress.
"Whether you believe it or not, my news is absolutely true. It is true that Li Maozhen is in Twelve Cave now, and I can find the location of Twelve Cave with some effort..."
"Anyway, he will return to the Central Plains soon."
Her fists were clenched, and the empress's plain face was tense.
"Is this true?"
Li Jing raised her head and thought seriously, then nodded solemnly.
"Absolutely serious!"
The empress, dressed in men's clothing, nodded upon hearing this and walked up to the head of the palace. Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly and watched her figure slowly climb up the steps step by step.
What does she want to do?
Li Jing looked behind the table on the steps and saw a bright long sword hanging on the wall.
Why doesn’t this woman believe me?
"Sister Empress, don't be impulsive! Everything I say is absolutely true!"
The empress unsheathed her sword, her phoenix eyes slightly cold, and she stood on the high steps and pointed the sword at Li Jing from a distance.
"Li Jing, I have given you opportunities again and again, but you have teased me again and again. Do you really think I am made of clay?"
Angry voices kept reverberating in the empty hall, and Li Jing suddenly understood why she was so angry.
After all, she always thought she was joking about her brother who had been missing for fifteen years...
I do not have it!
Li Jing was miserable and couldn't say: "How can you believe that what I said is true..."
A light flashed in his head, and Li Jing raised his hand: "In this way, I can take you to find your brother! It's up to you whether you believe it or not!"
Hearing the empress' sneer, Li Jing saw the long sword flying over instantly and inserting into the floor at her feet.
"Do you think I am very idle?"
Li Jing frowned and rubbed her hands, "This..."
Li Jing bent down and pulled out the long sword from the ground, straightened up and pinched his eyebrows.
"Since you won't believe me no matter what, just kill me with one sword."
The empress narrowed her eyes, "If I don't kill you, I will hand you over to a bad guy..."
"Wait!"
Li Jing raised her hand and looked up at the frowning empress: "Come down, come closer and I'll tell you."
The empress sneered with her hands behind her hands, and then lightly jumped down from the high steps, so that the distance between the two was less than one meter.
"The last sentence, I understand that you don't get along with the bad handsome man, so I will give you one last chance, otherwise I will definitely hand you over to the bad handsome man."
Li Jing pondered for a moment, then took two steps forward and handed over the long sword.
"Li Maozhen left Qi State and went to Twelve Cave for the secret of Longquan Sword."
The empress frowned and heard Li Jing's voice lowered.
"I know where this Longquan treasure is..."
The empress raised her long eyebrows and raised her lips slightly: "Just you? A child in your prime?"
Li Jing felt that he had met his match. He had been in this world for more than a few years, and he had never met a woman who made him feel so miserable.
"You bitch, can you listen to what I have to say first! Don't think that because you are a woman, I should let you go!"
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Jing threw the sword to the ground and turned around to stare coldly.
Then he saw a pair of cold and emotionless eyes.
"This is the first time in all these years that I have met someone who calls me that..."
Yes, Li Jing raised his hands, "Auntie, I won't argue with you. Yuan Tiangang coaxed Li Maozhen to find Twelve Cave in order to let him unlock a treasure box about the secret of Longquan Sword..."
"After unlocking the treasure box, you still need to find a little kid, because only he knows the specific location of the Longquan treasure..."
Li Jing finished speaking in one breath without even a pause. He took a breath and looked at the empress with a "how are you doing" expression.
The empress' lips curled up.
"Is this little brat you?"
Li Jing took a deep breath and took a step closer to the empress. Their noses were almost touching. The empress frowned slightly. Just as she was about to distance them, Li Jing held her shoulders down.
"Not everyone is interested in the Longquan Treasure. Your brother left Qi Country to go to Twelve Cave. I don't care if it's for Qi Country, himself or the world."
"Staying alone has always been the rule I follow. I can tell you where this treasure is now."
"But you and your Qi country..."
Li Jing looked at the empress with tight lips and lowered her voice.
"It can't be defended."
The breaths of the two people seemed to be entangled together. The empress stared at the infinite distance between the two people and was suddenly stunned.
The white skin in front of her eyes was slightly reddish, and the phoenix eyes on her oval face were slightly narrowed. Although she was dressed as a man, she still had a familiar light fragrance.
Li Jing subconsciously pinched the empress's white chin and raised her face: "What, do you still think I'm a brat?"
The air suddenly froze, leaving only the woman in front of him with his eyes widening in disbelief and Li Jing's nerves suddenly stiffened.
Li Jing was slapped hard on the left side of her face. She covered her face and staggered back two steps.
It's over, it's too big...
Li Jing suddenly wanted to chop off his own hand, but he couldn't help but do it when he looked at her face!
The empress' face was expressionless and her eyes were cold.
"I haven't noticed that you are a prostitute yet."
Rubbing her face, which was slightly swollen, Li Jing took a step back, glanced at the empress's face, and took two cautious steps back.
"I'm too drunk today. I've disturbed King Qi. I'm going to resign and leave..."
A sarcastic sneer appeared on the empress's face, but Li Jing no longer cared about it. She only felt her face burning and stepped back towards the door.
I don’t know if this woman will commit murder, but it’s better to escape first.
You bitch, I'll chop it up for you when I get back!
Li Jing closed the door as if to escape. Li Jing didn't dare to look at what the empress inside was doing. She raised her right hand and spat in a low voice.
Hearing the sound of footsteps leaving in a panic outside, the empress sat back down at her square table, raised the wine she had not drank just now, and looked at the pair of phoenix eyes reflected in the wine glass.
He poured the drink on the ground angrily, stood up and picked up the long sword that Li Jing had thrown on the ground.
Feeling a little hot on her face, the empress put the sword on the table again and exhaled slightly.
"lecher……"
