“She immediately agreed to it.”
Baili Qingchen did not expect a prime minister, Liu Wang, to be so haughty and reckoning could be so helpless when in need of help. Without discussing further terms, he immediately agreed to Qingyi's request and made a deal to release the men.
Meeting the black market ruler, could only be done by people who had special access. A kind of card that is a member in modern times, perhaps. That was why Qingyi was so confident that the prime minister would definitely agree. But on the other hand, the prime minister definitely did not know that Baili Qingchen and Qingyi had made other plans for him.
“A desperate person tends to agree on the help he needs,” as far as Qingyi.
It's pretty fun toying with a big state prime minister. When else could he deceive a high official so easily?
“Why should you use Wang Yiyuan?” ask Baili Qingchen.
“The Dark Market Ruler is amazing. Who wouldn't be curious about him?” answer Qingyi.
As expected, his answer must have made people shake their heads. So far, Qingyi was the strangest girl Baili Qingchen had ever met. She was the only woman who dared to debate him openly, resisted in a presumptuous manner, and said as she pleased.
The girls who admired him as the War God Bingyue were only able to look at him from afar, keep their words and be ashamed when crossing paths at banquets or in the middle of the city.
Not like Qingyi. Lately, they are quite close because they are involved in various problems together. Baili Qingchen had always known that Qingyi was actually always trying to avoid her. His indifference towards him made him even more interested, so he often forgot about Xiao Junjie's whereabouts and the reason why he kept him all this time.
When the promised day arrived, Qingyi set off at the time when the sun was already about to set. The prime minister said the black market ruler was willing to meet him on the condition that Qingyi not bring in a single bodyguard. Wang Yiyuan was only willing to meet him after Qingyi agreed to the terms and they promised to meet at a restaurant in the west of the city.
It was not Qingyi's name if she complied. Only a fool would agree to those terms without a stratagem. Before leaving, he had agreed with Baili Qingchen to leave together. When Qingyi met Wang Yiyuan, Baili Qingchen led an army with Cui Kong to capture them.
In the promised restaurant, the visitors were quiet because the restaurant owner was one of Wang Yiyuan's group. All customers have been evicted away on the grounds that this place has been specially rented.
Qingyi smelled the smell of sandalwood as she reached the end of the door. Behind him, the prime minister followed within two meters.
“Nona, please,” said the restaurant waiter on Qingyi. He led the way to the second floor. At the very end of the door he stopped.
“Ruler, guest has arrived,” waiter tells Wang Yiyuan.
Now Qingyi could clearly see that the black market ruler was a woman. That's amazing, considering doing such a big business is not an easy thing. At a glance, he saw that face was filled with pressure, yet there was always a calm aura flowing within it.
Wang Yiyuan watched Qingyi at a glance. The face is a bit like the prime minister. It's just that his nose is bigger and his mouth is thinner. Her skin was milky white, and that simple habit made her look very elegant.
There was an aura of great nobility exuding. It is fitting that King Changle loves this empress so much, Wang Yiyuan thought.
“What does Princess Consort Changle want until she agrees?” he asked when Qingyi was already sitting in front of him.
“I heard, the ruler of the Dark Market is so mysterious and not many people know him. What a fortune I can meet your real figure here,” Qingyi replied.
Wang Yiyuan chuckled. He had absolutely no idea how dangerous this Liu Qingyi who spoke in front of him was. Wang Yiyuan hated the imperial family, especially King Changle.
He was eager to kill everyone related to him. However since Qingyi was the only person who could save his men, he was forced to undo the intention.
After all, he was taken directly by the prime minister. Actually he was not very clear on the reason why this woman would trade with him. In the past, the imperial family had been abstaining from buying goods and agreeing with the black market.
They are like two opposite sides of a mirror. It is not uncommon for black market members to become fugitives for the imperial army for being a container of royal stolen goods.
“Tell the point. I don't like to mince words,” said Wang Yiyuan. Quite rarely he wants to meet prospective customers directly.
“I want a plaque Pavilion Litao.”
Neither the prime minister nor Wang Yiyuan, neither of them were not surprised. The Litao Pavilion Plaque? Does this make any sense?
“Can I know why you want it?”
“Yeah, simple. A few weeks ago someone sent them to kill me. I want to use the same people to send to their masters.”
The prime minister's face is ugly. Red, but not because of shame. He was angry but nervous. The sensation that accompanied Qingyi's last words was like a dagger ready to stab her at any moment.
Since when did he find out that the assassin was a member of the Litao Pavilion?
Wang Yiyuan was suspicious and stared at Qingyi incessantly. Strange, he thought. A Princess Empress shouldn't seem to have to interfere in a world she shouldn't have. Qingyi should have remained silent in the mansion and become a relaxed hostess, enjoying all the glory as Princess Consort Changle.
The outside world should not be known, especially for such dangerous things. Wang Yiyuan so thought, the girl in front of him is not a fool like people rumored.
Wang Yiyuan chuckled.
“I'm afraid Princess Consort Changle can't make up for it,” said Wang Yiyuan.
It was obvious that he was underestimating Qingyi. Qingyi responded by looking at him sharply, coldly, and intimidatedly. Wang Yiyuan was inevitably surprised.
“Of course. I wouldn't have come all the way here if I was just playing around.”
Wang Yiyuan was on guard. He asked Qingyi to issue a redeemer to have the access plaque of the Litao Pavilion. With his deft finger, Qingyi took out a few small crates filled with pure gold, then thrust them in front of Wang Yiyuan.
The prime minister was stunned, he had no idea where this pure gold came from. Did his daughter keep it in his shirt pocket? But wouldn't that be too heavy?
“I can give you more if you feel not enough.”
“Princess Changle turned out to have a lot of wealth,” said Wang Yiyuan. His eyes were not tempted at all, and he was even more suspicious.
In order to ascertain his suspicions, Wang Yiyuan pretended to take out a single access plaque to the Litao Pavilion and put it on the table. Wang Yiyuan thrust it out slowly while continuing to face off against Qingyi. At the same time, the sound of fireworks echoed through the air and shocked everyone.
Qingyi instantly snatched the access plaque as fast as lightning until Wang Yiyuan did not see exactly his movements. As the beacon had been lit, the imperial army led by Baili Qingchen and Cui Kong immediately moved to surround the restaurant. Dozens of soldiers lined up while pointing their weapons at the restaurant.
“Liu Qingyi, you set me up?” Wang Yiyuan asked angrily. Goddamnit! He's off guard!
Wang Yiyuan took out a belt sword wrapped around his waist. Then, a fight between Qingyi and Wang Yiyuan ensued. The prime minister retreated to a corner, watching the fight with wide eyes.
Two women of not much different age swung swords at each other, attacking each other until this room was destroyed in a few seconds.
Qingyi no longer used a golf stick, but a real sword. That sword was the one Baili Qingchen used on the battlefield.
Weighing up to two kilograms, but since Baili Qingchen had already trained her, Qingyi could swing her around like swinging a broomstick. The metal tempo is clashing with each other until it sounds ‘prang’ non-stop. Occasionally it also shimmers when reflecting the light of the candle.
Qingyi was cornered from being caught off guard for a few seconds. Right at that moment, the door was broken and Baili Qingchen appeared with another sword in her hand. The sword was much sharper, larger, and beautifully carved than the one Qingyi held. The raze of his face turned ghastly as he saw Qingyi being cornered and trying to resist Wang Yiyuan's attack.
“How dare you hurt Princess Empress Changle!”
Then, Baili Qingchen jumped up until Wang Yiyuan was forced to unleash her attack. The man stood before Qingyi, protecting her and stretching out his hands. The tip of his sword was already covered in the blood of Wang Yiyuan's dark guard troops, it was perfectly fine to be supplemented with the blood of his great master.
Merely, Baili Qingchen was shocked as she clearly saw what Wang Yiyuan's face looked like.
No way! That's not possible! Baili Qingchen repeatedly exclaimed inwardly.
“What are you waiting for? You want us dead huh?” annoyed Qingyi. Ck, this woman, can't say a little good?
Baili Qingchen seemed to have regained consciousness. He swung his sword and pointed it at Wang Yiyuan's neck. Wang Yiyuan laughed. Truly, he did not think that the person he hated had come to give up his life! Wang Yiyuan's spirit rose many times over and he grew even more sinister.
“Baili Qingchen! If I don't kill you tonight, then my brother's grudge will never be avenged! Die!”
“Only with your ability, want to kill me?”
The fight goes back. Qingyi watched in a corner of the room, letting Baili Qingchen fight against Wang Yiyuan. Qingyi exclaimed a few times and warned Baili Qingchen whenever Wang Yiyuan was about to attack her.
At present, Qingyi is like a football supporter watching a live broadcast of the match from the field. Instead of helping out, he instead stood there and ate some popcorn that Yinghao brought from the dimensional space.
"Come on! Defeat and finish Wang Yiyuan! No, don't kill him! Just hurt his hand!" exclaim Qingyi. His voice interrupted Baili Qingchen's concentration. He thought, his wife is really insensitive!
In this fight, Baili Qingchen was clearly very superior. His sword snatched Wang Yiyuan's arm several times and left a trail of tears there. His blood was dripping on the floor. Even so, Wang Yiyuan still did not give up. He still swung his sword even though most missed the mark.
“Wang Yiyuan! You better give up, Baili Qingchen can still let your life live!” exclaim Qingyi.
The prime minister stared at his daughter's horror. In her eyes, Qingyi was no longer the weak girl who often defied when oppressed and tortured. He was like a terrible monster. See, her husband fought and she instead cheered him like that! This is totally insane!
“Ckck…. Wang Yiyuan was really stubborn,” decak Qingyi.
With a quick movement, he was already behind Wang Yiyuan and kicked his calf. The sword in the woman's hand instantly fell down and she was like being forced to kneel.
That was when, Qingyi instantly grabbed Wang Yiyuan's two hands and handcuffed them behind her back. Wang Yiyuan tried to break away, but in vain because the thing that bound him was very strong. Wang Yiyuan was successfully incapacitated!
Baili Qingchen walked over to Qingyi, then grabbed the girl's right hand. There was a sabetrical wound that extended and spilled blood. However, Qingyi did not seem to take it at all. His hands were full of delicious popcorn. His blood did not flow because Qingyi had swallowed the blood-clotting pill, until his open wound tasted nothing.
"Truly reckless!" baili Qingchen. Qingyi raised a shoulder of indifferent marks.
The soldiers entered and immediately subdued Wang Yiyuan. The woman looked down on Baili Qingchen and Liu Qingyi. Then, his gaze turned to the prime minister. His hatred is huge and he says, “It's not over.”
The prime minister avoided that look. As Wang Yiyuan was actually taken away, she breathed a sigh of relief. It was Qingyi who was with Baili Qingchen. Shamelessly, he asked, “Qingyi, what about my request?”
Qingyi turned her head, then smirked. He's approaching the prime minister. Qingyi whispered, “Prime minister, I'll tell you one thing. Those guys, I caught it myself.”
Instantly, the look on the prime minister's face turned deathly pale. End already!
