Chapter 59 Cannot Be Given Away
That morning.
When Qi Ming woke up, he was supervising Yun Niang's morning lessons when a maid came to report that the Empress Dowager had invited him.
Li Qiushui truly loves handsome men; she invites him to tea, meals, and martial arts discussions every day.
Of course, we must discuss martial arts; otherwise, why would Master Qi agree to go?
However, when it came to martial arts, this vixen would still use that hot, melodious, and seductive voice to tease him.
You can't say anything!
Because that's just how her voice is.
This is both innate talent and something cultivated through flattering senior brothers, junior brothers, and other handsome young men.
That's just her nature.
She can't be hard-hearted in front of a handsome man she hasn't yet won over, and may even compromise her principles.
If we were to discuss something like this...
We cannot talk about this carelessly.
If Xiao Feng is Wu Song, then is Ma Ying-jeou's wife Jinlian? And isn't this Western Xia Empress Dowager the same?
But then again, whether or not you talk to them isn't up to you, since your brother might not agree.
If Mr. Wu Dalang were to be flattered by this vixen, he would probably think that he was no longer some short, ugly man, but the number one romantic rogue in Qinghe County, or even the number one in the whole land, and would become so arrogant that he would let her manipulate and control him at will.
Qi Ming wasn't worried about that.
He had been a genuine playboy before, and even before his transmigration, he had encountered bewitching women far more alluring than this vixen. He wasn't afraid of this situation at all, and replied:
"I'm currently teaching my apprentice; I'll go over this afternoon."
It has a bit of the flavor of Brother Lian angrily rebuking Sister Dongfang.
Upon hearing this, the maid didn't press the matter further and went back to report.
When Li Qiushui found out, she was naturally not offended; on the contrary, she loved him even more.
But she also knew that she was old and disfigured, and that under normal circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for her to succeed. That was one reason!
Secondly, even if she couldn't succeed, she hoped that Qi Ming could be relied upon by her to go to Lingjiu Palace and help her fight Tianshan Tonglao.
Based on these two points, she devised a brilliant plan!
afternoon.
When Qi Ming arrived at the entrance of the sleeping quarters, a young girl ran out while wiping away tears and bumped straight into him.
This woman was none other than Princess Li Qinglu of Yinchuan.
Li Qiushui's genes are very strong.
Her granddaughter bears a striking resemblance to her; with tears streaming down her face, she is a pitiful sight and indeed a beautiful young woman.
Of course, Qi Ming couldn't possibly be easily pounced on by her, let alone fall in love at first sight.
He reached out and helped her up, feigning concern, and said:
"Young lady, what makes you so sad?"
Li Qiushui stepped out, her face veiled, her eyes cold and stern.
"Qinglu, this is a matter of national importance. How can you refuse to marry just because you say so? Our country is constantly at war, and our national strength is gradually declining. We are about to form a marriage alliance with Tibet to jointly resist the Liao and Song dynasties. Who else but you should be in charge of this marriage alliance?"
Li Qinglu is a little drama queen. Upon hearing her grandmother's words, she immediately burst into tears again and hugged Qi Ming's waist.
Qi Ming cooperated fully, a look of reluctance on his face, and said to Li Qiushui:
"If Tibet is truly willing, they will cooperate even without a marriage alliance. Why make things difficult for this young woman? She is young and should be finding a man she likes. On the contrary, it is you..."
Li Qiushui gritted her teeth and said, "What's wrong with me?"
Qi Ming bluntly said, "If you disregard your looks, you're still a stunning beauty, and since you don't have a man, you should be sent for a political marriage!"
Li Qiushui was furious: "You, you little thief, you're truly despicable! Take this!"
Having said that, she flew forward like a graceful fairy to launch a close-range attack.
Having read extensively in martial arts classics and possessing the Lesser Formless Skill, she unleashed countless ingenious moves, leaving the audience breathless.
Qi Ming, however, remained unfazed. He immediately released his granddaughter and used the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique, employing various Shaolin skills, to counter her moves, fighting fast against fast, making it a close and evenly matched contest.
Before long, they arrived at the edge of an artificial lake in the back hall.
Li Qiushui stood on the railing, asking with great curiosity:
"You little thief, who exactly is your master, that revered monk?"
Qi Ming snorted: "Who said knowing Shaolin skills makes you a monk? My master is proficient in Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism. His mastery is beyond the comprehension of a wicked woman like you who craves male yang energy to maintain her youth! Are you still going to fight or not? If not, I'm taking my leave!"
"Giggle giggle..."
Li Qiushui giggled, her body trembling, and said in a sweet voice:
"I'll stop fighting! I've been living in the palace for too long and I'm feeling restless. Please stay a few more days and keep me company. You love martial arts, so as a reward, you can take any of the secret manuals of my Xiaoyao Sect."
"Take whatever you want?"
Qi Ming's attitude was firm: "I've never heard of the Free and Unfettered Sect, and I don't know what kind of sect you are. If you ask me to take it, would anyone else agree? I don't want the secret manual! As long as you do one thing for me, I'll stay for five more days, otherwise I'll leave in three days."
Li Qiushui smiled and asked, "What is it?"
Qi Mingyi said righteously, "Don't force that girl to marry into a foreign land."
"No!"
Li Qiushui's expression changed, and she said, "This is a major event for our country, and it's none of your business, a Song person, to interfere!"
Qi Ming cupped his hands in greeting: "In that case, the journey is long and arduous. I will be leaving in three days, and we will never meet again! If you have any other tricks up your sleeve, bring them on, I will accept them!"
Having said that, he turned and went back to the front hall.
Li Qiushui's eyes were like water as she mistook Qi Ming for Wuyazi, and she called out to him in a daze:
"Senior brother, dear senior brother, I still love you! I'm just angry that you were distracted by that jade statue, that you were jealous of it, and that's why you flirted with other people, trying to provoke you. Who knew you would leave in anger and never come back! Do you know that I killed all those young men and sank them to the bottom of the lake? Alas, heartless senior brother!"
Qi Ming felt a chill run down his spine, but pretended not to hear it and quickened his pace.
Avenge the handsome young men... Don't make your Doflamingo laugh.
If you want to enforce the law in the world of martial arts, there will be no end to the laws you can enforce.
After regaining her senses, Li Qiushui didn't feel embarrassed.
She's an old woman, what wouldn't she dare say?
at night.
The inner study.
Li Qiushui asked, "Qinglu, what do you think of him?"
Li Qinglu said shyly, "Brother Qi is outstanding in talent, appearance and martial arts, but he is a Song person and I'm afraid he won't want to stay and become my son-in-law."
At first glance, she seems to be quite resourceful in the original work.
He gave his own maid, as well as Xu Zhu's four maids, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, to Duan Yu.
In reality, Xu Zhu is not interested in women, and his personality is easy to understand.
Qi Ming would not follow his example, after all, giving away a girl was a major taboo, it was something that could not be done!
Li Qiushui smiled gently: "You can go with him. Jiangnan is a good place, much better than here."
Li Qinglu hesitated, "What if we encounter Uncle Ding..."
Since this storyline is not part of the 97 version, but rather part of the original work.
Ding Chunqiu would indeed frequently visit Mantuo Manor to act as Li Qingluo's father.
Kumārajīva's Lesser Formless Skill also came from there, only he was missing one volume.
The reason Ding Chunqiu didn't learn it...
At 14 years old, shouldn't he already know calculus?
Kumārajīva, however, was a top student and could still learn even if he was missing one book.
Li Qiushui said coldly, "Once that boy marries you, he will be a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, and it will be natural to clean up the sect."
