Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

His back was tall and imposing, like an indestructible mountain, giving people an endless sense of oppression.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Footsteps gradually approached, breaking the silence.

Chen Pingping walked steadily to Li Chengtian's side, bowed respectfully, and said:

"See Your Majesty."

Li Chengtian didn't turn around, continuing to look at the scenery ahead, and asked calmly, "What is it?"

Chen Pingping bowed slightly and said in a solemn tone:

"Your Majesty, I have just received a message that Si Gu Jian of Dongyi City has broken through his cultivation again. He has learned that Your Majesty is about to lead an expedition in person and wants to challenge Your Majesty to a duel at the border between Qing Kingdom and Northern Qi in five days."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengtian's lips curled into a disdainful sneer, as if he were mocking an overconfident ant.

His eyes revealed unparalleled confidence and disdain as he said calmly:

"What is Si Gu Jian? He's just an ant, yet he dares to provoke me."

Tell him to cherish his last moments in Dongyi City.

"Once I destroy Northern Qi, my next target will be its Dongyi City."

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Chen Pingping couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Just as he had expected, His Majesty didn't take the challenge from Si Gu Jian seriously at all.

That's understandable. With His Majesty's strength, how could he possibly be interested in an opponent like Si Gu Jian?

However, Chen Pingping still said with some concern:

"Your Majesty, if you refuse the challenge outright, it may damage your reputation!"

After all, the world does not know Your Majesty's true strength; they only think that Your Majesty is afraid of Si Gu Jian.

Moreover, Si Gu Jian has been famous in the martial arts world for many years; his reputation is well-deserved.

After listening to Chen Pingping's words, Li Chengtian remained silent for a moment, pondering to himself.

After a while, he slowly spoke:

"Since that's the case, then I shall accept this challenge! I will personally lead the expedition this time, and use the Four-Looking Sword to consecrate the flag and sound the horn for the national war against Qibei."

After hearing this, Chen Pingping finally felt relieved.

After all, Li Chengtian was determined to become an emperor for all ages, so how could he allow himself to be tainted even in the slightest at such a crucial moment?

So, he said to Li Chengtian with utmost respect:

"Your Majesty is wise. With Grandmaster Si Gu Jian as our banner, the morale of our Qing Kingdom's army will surely rise to its peak. Destroying the Northern Qi Kingdom in one fell swoop will be a simple matter."

Li Chengtian nodded slightly in agreement after hearing Chen Pingping's words.

Just then, Han Diaosi entered with Madam Wang and bowed to Li Chengtian, saying:

"Your Majesty, I have brought the person you wish to see."

Upon hearing Han Diaosi's report, Li Chengtian slowly withdrew his gaze from the distance, turned around, and looked at Madam Wang behind Han Diaosi.

Seeing that Li Chengtian was looking at her, Madam Wang quickly knelt down and bowed, saying:

"This humble woman greets Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Li Chengtian smiled slightly and said softly:

"Please rise, Madam!"

Then he said to Chen Pingping:

"Dean Chen, you may leave now!"

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Chen Pingping glanced at Madam Wang and secretly guessed:

"Who exactly is this woman? Could she be His Majesty's mistress, whom he's keeping outside the palace and is now preparing to bring back?"

However, he knew very well that these were not matters for him to concern himself with, so he quickly bowed and said:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After saying that, he slowly walked into the Imperial Study.

After Chen Pingping left, Li Chengtian finally spoke:

“Two temple messengers came to the palace last night.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang did not show much surprise or other emotions. She simply gazed at Li Chengtian quietly, as if waiting for him to continue.

Seeing this, Li Chengtian stopped trying to keep them in suspense and continued:

"The two temple messengers have been killed by Eunuch Han, and I haven't disposed of their bodies yet."

I've been thinking that you, Madam, possess the ability to reform these people. I wonder if you could perhaps reshape them and make them work for me?

"I am extremely dissatisfied with the current defenses of the palace!"

Then Li Chengtian said with a gloomy expression,

"Even the palace of a monarch can be entered at will by a Grandmaster!"

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Madam Wang quickly comforted them, "We can't entirely blame the Imperial Guards. After all, the Grandmaster's strength is still too great, so it's normal that they couldn't detect it."

"But that's not a reason!"

Li Chengtian snorted coldly, "How can my palace be so easily broken into? This is simply a slap in the face!"

Madam Wang remained silent for a moment, then cautiously asked:

"Then, Your Majesty, how do you intend to strengthen the defenses of the palace?"

A cold glint flashed in Li Chengtian's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "I want to build an army of robots similar to temple messengers to guard the palace for me!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Wang's expression changed slightly, but she remained calm and, after a moment of contemplation, said:

“If Your Majesty can find the black box that Ye Qingmei left in Daqing, I can modify the temple messenger to make it what Your Majesty desires. However…”

"But what?" Li Chengtian pressed.

"With the current materials and equipment, it is probably unrealistic to build such a robot army."

Lady Wang answered truthfully, "I need the equipment and materials from the temple to mass-produce them, but it will also take quite a while to produce the quantity Your Majesty requires."

Li Chengtian nodded in agreement. In fact, he had already anticipated this outcome, as it was no easy task to create a team of Grandmaster robots capable of guarding the palace.

Then, Li Chengtian slowly began to speak:

"Alright! I'll have Minister Fan send you that black box you mentioned later."

First, go with Han Diaosi to Guangxin Palace to meet the current head of the underwear industry.

From now on, you will work with her to manage underwear and expand the commercial empire of the Qing Kingdom.

He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Madam Wang, as if trying to see right through her, before continuing:

"This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Madam Wang was startled.

She originally thought she would only be responsible for some simple things, but she didn't expect Li Chengtian to ask her to get involved in the royal family's affairs.

What a great trust and high regard this is!

She quickly stood up, bowed respectfully, and said with tears of gratitude:

"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will certainly not let you down."

Her eyes shone with determination, indicating that she would do her best and live up to the trust placed in her.

Li Chengtian looked at Madam Wang, whose face was resolute, and nodded in satisfaction.

He knew that only in this way could he make the other party feel his sincerity and determination.

He smiled slightly, then said to Han Diaosi:

"Take Madam Wang to Guangxin Palace first. After the two of them have reached an agreement, you can personally escort Madam Wang out of the palace."

"Once Fan Jian brings the black trap, you will take it and the two corpses to Madam Wang for disposal."

Upon hearing Li Chengtian's instruction, Han Diaosi immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After performing the formalities, he went directly to Madam Wang's side and said, "Madam Wang, please come with me."

Chapter 79 The army marches out to destroy Northern Qi; the Western Mang emperor, upon learning this, is in a panic.

Lady Wang arrived at Guangxin Palace with light steps, led by Han Diaosi.

Yan Xiaoyi saw Han Diaosi from afar and noticed that he was accompanied by a woman. Intrigued, he quickly approached and asked:

"Eunuch Han, what is this?"

Han Diaosi merely glanced at Yan Xiaoyi before speaking directly:

"By order of His Majesty, I have brought Lady Wang to see Her Highness the Eldest Princess. Is the Eldest Princess in the palace?"

Upon hearing Han Diaosi say that he was acting on His Majesty's orders, Yan Xiaoyi immediately became serious and respectfully replied:
