Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

The Empress sighed softly.

She sensed the sincerity of the person in front of her.

But as a king or noble, it was impossible for her to easily open her heart to others.

From the day she took the throne from her brother, she was no longer herself.

"Let's not talk about that old geezer for now, let's take a look at the betrothal gifts I brought."

Qin Chuan naturally understood the Empress's predicament, and the Longquan Sword was prepared for this very moment.

"This is……"

The Empress looked at the heavy sword in Qin Chuan's hand and felt her heart skip a beat:

"Longquan Sword?!"

Rumors had long circulated in the martial arts world that the Xuanming Sect had discovered Lu Youjie's whereabouts and sent the Black and White Impermanence to seize the Longquan Sword, but their plans were thwarted by Tian Anxing from the Bad Guys.

Based on Qin Chuan's self-disclosure of his identity, she naturally guessed the origin of this heavy sword.

"The King of Qi must have heard of the legend of the Longquan Sword."

Qin Chuan placed the Longquan Sword on the table in front of the Empress and said:

"What I want to say is that these rumors were actually spread by Yuan Tiangang's orders to the Bad People, including the Dragon Spring Treasure Box."

"what?!"

The Empress completely lost control of her facial expressions, and even her voice reverted to its natural tone.

But she didn't care about any of that and kept asking:

"Was the Dragon Spring Treasure Box also deliberately revealed by the Bad Commander?"

Qin Chuan nodded, revealing Yuan Tiangang's true colors and exposing the Empress's identity:

"That old bastard deliberately let your brother know the secret of the Dragon Spring Treasure Box, in order to lure him away from the Central Plains!"

Chapter 33 The King of Qi and Empress, War Suddenly Breaks Out!

Why did the Bad Commander do this?

The Empress tried her best to control her emotions, but a look of worry and anger still showed on her face.

He was worried about his brother's situation and angry at Yuan Tiangang's scheming.

“Your elder brother is too ambitious and capable. Yuan Tiangang will not allow him to end the chaos and become the ruler of the world.”

As Qin Chuan spoke, he felt a sense of shared suffering.

His situation was similar to Li Maozhen's; both had the ambition and ability to end the chaos, but they faced a formidable obstacle: Yuan Tiangang.

"According to you, Yuan Tiangang is invincible. Why doesn't he just attack my brother directly instead of going through all this roundabout methods?"

As the Empress gradually regained her composure, she discovered the biggest problem.

"Because that old codger is playing a grand game."

Qin Chuan said with a touch of emotion:

"The whole world serves as bait, but he alone holds the rod!"

For three hundred years, Yuan Tiangang has been the mastermind and architect of the world's chess game.

From encouraging Emperor Yang of Sui to launch three campaigns against Goguryeo to assisting Li Shimin in creating the Zhenguan era of prosperity.

From the Wei River Alliance to the great defeat of the Turks, from the deposition of the king and the establishment of Wu to the reign of two emperors.

Even the An Lushan Rebellion and Huang Chao's rebellion were orchestrated by Yuan Tiangang.

He treated everyone as pawns, trapping them in a game of chess called 'All Under Heaven'.

“Yuan Tiangang…”

Listening to Qin Chuan's explanation, the Empress finally understood just how much weight this name carried.

She felt even more worried about her brother.

Qin Chuan understood her feelings and offered a slight spoiler to comfort her:

“You don’t need to worry about your brother. As long as he is still in Raojiang Twelve Caves, he will be safe.”

“Even if you are Yuan Tiangang’s disciple, he will not let you off easily if you tell me these things.”

The Empress suddenly turned slightly to the side, a glint of light flashing in her eyes:

"Why do you have to..."

Qin Chuan told her almost everything about Yuan Tiangang, and how could she not be moved by such a heartfelt revelation?

"Hearing you say that makes my trip worthwhile."

Qin Chuan smiled at her.

Yuan Tiangang thought he was trying to impress the Empress with the enormous profits involved in the Longquan Treasure behind the Longquan Sword.

But the Longquan sword was actually just a prelude.

What he wanted was to exchange true feelings with the Empress.

Controlling the Illusionary Sound Pavilion is nowhere as direct as winning the Empress's heart.

"So, from the very beginning, you knew that I was both the King of Qi and the Empress?"

The empress finally realized what was happening.

"I'm not blind."

Qin Chuan laughed heartily.

"Then why... did you repeatedly tease me?"

The empress's face flushed crimson, her beauty breathtaking.

She recalled the first time they met, when Qin Chuan made it clear that he had feelings for her, which made her furious.

Later, in order to hunt her down, the Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui almost exhausted the entire Xuanming Sect.

He stepped forward and saved her from dire straits.

Afterwards, he expressed his feelings to her again, and she, as the Prince of Qi, discussed marriage with him.

Recalling that scene now, her cheeks flushed.

"A fair maiden is sought after by a gentleman; how can you say it's teasing?"

Qin Chuan smiled and looked at Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian:

"Don't you agree?"

“What you say is true, sir.”

Miao Chengtian covered his mouth and chuckled:

"The Empress is stunningly beautiful; every man would want to pursue her!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xuan Jingtian nodded repeatedly:

"Young Master Qin is wise and brave, and is the perfect match for the Empress! Perhaps, in the future, they will create a beautiful love story like that of Nongyu and Xiao Shi!"

The two women are truly sisters; their teamwork is impeccable.

Father, like son.

They could all see that this young master Qin had deep feelings for the empress.

The Empress was also experiencing a surge of romantic luck, but due to her status, she couldn't express it openly.

As the Nine Heavenly Saintesses and the Empress's confidantes, they knew best the Empress's hardships.

For the sake of the Qi Kingdom, the Empress sacrificed too much and gave too much. Countless nights she spent in sorrow, unable to shed tears.

Now that such an outstanding man has finally entered her heart, they must do everything they can to help him achieve this wonderful marriage.

"Stop talking nonsense..."

The Empress was somewhat embarrassed; she hadn't expected that Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian would actually help Qin Chuan 'deal with' her.

"Xue'er, you tell us!"

With a quick glance, the Empress grasped at Ji Ruxue as her lifeline.

Ji Ruxue is still young. Although she is a little adult, she doesn't understand anything about matters between men and women and would definitely not follow along.

But Ji Ruxue had no idea what the Empress wanted her to say, so she could only speak her mind:

"This humble servant believes that Young Master Qin and the Empress would be a very well-matched pair."

Upon hearing this, Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian started making a fuss again:

"Right, right!"

For a moment, the entire Prince Qi's mansion was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"It's been so many years since this happened..."

The Empress suddenly paused.

Before his elder brother left, the Prince Qi's residence was filled with laughter and joy.

She thought she would never see such a scene again, and that the Prince Qi's mansion would remain desolate forever.

But with his arrival, not only the Prince Qi's mansion, but also her heart, warmed up.

"The Queen... of Qi!"

Another celestial maiden hurried in.

She was Guangmu Tian, ​​whose beauty was no less than that of Miaocheng Tian and Xuanjing Tian, ​​and she wore a distinctive smoky eye makeup.

Guangmu Tian looked hurried, as if she had something important to discuss. When she saw Qin Chuan there, she hesitated whether to speak.

The Empress had now reverted to her usual stern and aloof demeanor, and said calmly:
