The Bad Guys: Playing the Fake Li Xingyun at the Beginning

Su Ming stood up from the dragon throne. His thin figure exuded an indescribable imperial majesty, which made everyone feel uneasy.

He glanced at his highness and his ministers, and said in a loud voice, "I am the direct descendant of the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, God has blessed me. The spirits of my ancestors have been blessed by God. I have been blessed by God and have been blessed by God. I have been blessed by God and have been blessed by God!"

"This is the destiny of heaven. We will return to the Tang Dynasty. When you return, you can tell your master that I will take the throne. The world will be unified and the Kaiyuan era will reappear. Under the great trend, everything will turn to dust. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

The plain words exploded in the hearts of the messengers like thunderclaps out of the blue, shaking their minds.

This is not only a declaration, but also a warning.

No one expected that the new emperor's first speech after the enthronement ceremony would be so powerful. He made no effort to conceal his intentions and was not afraid of the fear of the princes of the world.

In the hall, Li Siyuan's eyes became even colder. He knew that this sentence was not only said to the envoys of the princes, but also to him. Combined with his previous actions, this was an obvious provocation!

However, the next moment, he smiled silently. This is interesting!

Wouldn't it be boring if the person sitting in that position was too useless?

Before the ministers could recover from what had just been said, Su Ming announced the end of the court meeting and left first, leaving a group of envoys and court officials with different thoughts standing there in a daze.

Then, all the officials left the scene one after another, and the envoys were led out of the palace by the servants and taken to the post house for reception.

······

Finally I can take off this clothes!

The first thing Su Ming did when he returned to the harem was to take off his clothes. The thick crown was very stuffy to wear. Even though he was immune to cold and heat, he still felt uncomfortable. No wonder this thing was later abolished. It was really inappropriate and it was natural for it to be eliminated by the times.

"Senior brother, you have made a fortune." In the hall, Lu Linxuan looked at the glittering gold and pearls in front of him. He was dazzled but reluctant to move away.

Women just like this kind of shiny things.

Su Ming was wearing thin clothes, sitting on a big box, smiling slightly, and said generously, "Junior sister, feel free to pick whatever you want, don't be polite to me."

A blush appeared on Lu Linxuan's face, "Senior Brother, this is inappropriate, right?" Although his face was full of embarrassment, his eyes were fixed on those pearls and jades, and he was reluctant to let go.

"It's okay, you can pick whatever you want."

Before she could say anything, Zhang Zifan walked into the hall, stared at Su Ming for a while, then bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

"My dear, please stand up." Su Ming sat sideways on the spot, raised his eyelids, and said with a smile.

When Zhang Zifan stood up, he saw Su Ming's nonchalant expression, and his serious face suddenly became tense, and he laughed uncontrollably, "Brother Li, you haven't changed."

Su Ming sighed deliberately, "Why? Do you have to kowtow to me every time you see me to feel good?"

Zhang Zifan was suddenly deeply moved. This was his brother. He would never change!

Seeing Zhang Zifan's expression, Su Ming secretly laughed in his heart and complained expressionlessly, "That dragon robe almost suffocated me. It's so thick and heavy. I won't wear it again next time."

Zhang Zifan laughed again, and the harmonious atmosphere between the two of them returned to the past. "Brother Li, do you know how many heroes in the world have gone to great lengths to get a dragon robe? I gave it to you, and you're not happy with it."

Su Ming rolled his eyes, "How about letting you be the emperor?"

Zhang Zifan did become the emperor in the sixth season, but unfortunately, his so-called representation of the Way of Heaven failed, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were separated from the Central Plains for hundreds of years until the rise of that cowherd boy, and they returned to the Central Plains.

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Zifan couldn't help but have a somewhat subtle feeling. He laughed for a moment, and without saying a word, he walked to the gift boxes and opened them, clicking his tongue constantly, with a look of surprise.

Suddenly, he turned his head and looked straight at Su Ming, "Brother Li, what are you going to do with those beauties they sent over?" After saying that, he winked at him and showed a smile that every man understood.

Speaking of those beauties, Su Ming suddenly remembered that the number of beauties sent over by the princes and vassal states today added up to almost several hundred.

Now, there is no need to go through so much trouble to hold a talent show among the public.

Although Su Ming was very happy in his heart, he pretended to be sad on the surface. "Alas, I don't know what to do. Brother Zhang, how about I give you a few? We are brothers, can you help me share more?"

Zhang Zifan's eyes lit up and he was about to speak when he suddenly shuddered and felt a murderous aura approaching. He turned around and saw Lu Linxuan's face full of anger.

"Zhang Zifan, if you dare to agree today, I will not forgive you!"

Afterwards, the two began to fight, and there was another chaos.

While they were playing, a eunuch walked up to Su Ming and said, "Your Majesty, the three beauties sent by King Qi want to see you. They said they have something important to report?"

Su Ming raised his eyebrows. The empress wanted to see him for something?

"Let's go over and have a look!"

Soon, he arrived at a palace and opened the door, only to see three familiar figures—the empress sent the Three Holy Princesses to him!

Chapter 37 Playing Hard to Get, Obtaining Xiao Li's Flying Dagger

Before, he was still wondering why the empress would send him beautiful women. Unexpectedly, the ones she sent were the Nine Holy Maidens of Huanyinfang, Miaochengtian, Xuanjingtian, and Guangmutian.

The three beauties, each with different postures and good martial arts skills, can be regarded as rare beauties. However, the time that Li Xingyun has been in contact with these three people is not long, so he is not worried about being exposed.

"Long time no see, how is the Empress doing lately?"

Miao Chengtian exchanged a glance with the other two and saluted, "May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Su Ming waved his hand and said gently, "We are all family, there is no need to be so formal. By the way, what does the Empress want to see me about?"

Miao Chengtian and the others came to Luoyang just for this matter. They quickly took out a letter from their sleeves and presented it with both hands.

After receiving the envelope, Su Ming opened it and read it quickly. The beautiful handwriting was mixed with a bit of sharpness. The empress wrote to him mainly to inquire about his recent situation and the affairs of the Bad People. By the way, she also sent Xuan Jingtian and the other two to him as his subordinates so that it would be convenient for them to contact him in the future.

Soon, he finished reading the letter. Su Ming frowned, hesitating whether to repeat what he had said to deceive Zhang Zifan and the others. Unlike Zhang Zifan and the others, although the empress had some feelings for Li Xingyun, they were not many, and she was now the King of Qi and would consider more gains and losses.

The most important thing is that he doesn't know whether his words can impress the empress and make her become his helper.

Seeing his frown, Miao Chengtian and the other two couldn't help but show a trace of worry in their eyes. The three of them came to Luoyang to explore the way for the empress in advance.

After thinking for a moment, Su Ming finally made a decision. He planned to hide the reason. Now was not the time to reveal his true colors. According to his plan, the empress was going to come to Luoyang. If he told her now, it would disrupt his rhythm.

Then, his frown relaxed, his expression returned to normal, and he handed the letter to them, saying without reservation, "This is a letter from the empress to me, please take a look."

The three took the letter and read it quickly. After reading the letter, they immediately knelt on the ground to express their loyalty. Miao Chengtian was the eldest sister among the three and took the initiative to speak, "Your Majesty, the Empress gave us to you. From now on, we are your Majesty's people. If you need anything in the future, just tell us. We three sisters will never say no."

Su Ming smiled and reached out to help her up. "You don't have to do this. The empress has been kind to me. How could I, Li Xingyun, repay kindness with hatred and take someone else's love? You are her trusted confidants and sisters. Staying with me will not affect the overall situation. Now that this matter is over, you should hurry back to Fengxiang Mansion."

It seemed like a refusal, but in fact he was playing hard to get. He was sure that the three of them would not disobey the orders of the empress, and he did this just to better subdue them.

Sure enough, as he expected, the three of them knelt on the ground again to express their submission.

Su Ming sighed and said reluctantly, "Well, okay, since you insist, I have no choice but to agree. If you don't want to stay with me in the future, just let me know in advance so that I can take you back."

Hearing this, the three women were deeply moved. Master Li is still the same Master Li. He hasn't changed at all.

Afterwards, Su Ming personally wrote a letter and asked them to send someone to deliver it to Fengxiang Prefecture. The letter did not contain any secrets. It briefly answered the empress's questions, did not mention the Bad People, and invited her to visit Luoyang.

After the letter was written, the three of them hurried to deliver it and then took their leave.

In the hall, Su Ming stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of mockery. With the Empress's mind, he would definitely become suspicious after reading this letter, because it seemed that he answered the Empress's questions, but in fact the whole letter was nonsense and meaningless.

Especially the last sentence, which would make her think that she was asking for help.

Because until now, she still didn't know the reason why Li Xingyun became emperor. She knew that this was Yuan Tiangang's arrangement, but she was still in the dark about what happened.

Su Ming planned to let her verify this issue herself. For Li Xingyun, she would definitely come!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh, feeling like he had become a villain.

The reason why the protagonist is the protagonist is that he always has a group of trustworthy companions around him who will help him at all costs. The villain, on the other hand, always distrusts the people around him, is alone from beginning to end, and rarely has close friends.

What Su Ming is doing now is to slowly usurp everything about Li Xingyun, from his identity to his status, his friends, his future and his past.

At this moment, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind, [The progress of the fake Li Xingyun has reached 70%, reward: Xiao Li's Flying Dagger. ]

The familiar part came again. Su Ming was curious, was this reward due to the forbearance and revenge he had shown in the Tai Chi Hall before, or was it due to his hypocrisy this time?

A mess of thoughts flashed through his mind, he shook his head, and said silently in his heart: Receive the system reward.

The next moment, a wave of insights about hidden weapons came to his mind, including the forging method of Xiao Li's Flying Dagger and various techniques of hidden weapons. It greatly improved his understanding of martial arts and even allowed him to see a glimpse of the realm above the Great Heavenly Position.

Xiao Li's flying knife never failed.

Xiao Li's Flying Dagger is not a hidden weapon, but an obvious weapon, which is beyond the level of hidden weapons. Even Shangguan Jinhong, whose martial arts skills are higher than Li Xunhuan, cannot dodge this knife.

It can be said to be the best in the world. However, the power of Xiao Li Flying Dagger depends on the person, not the martial arts. In the process of absorbing and understanding, Su Ming's fingers have become more flexible.

Thinking that his last name happened to be Li, Su Ming couldn't help but laugh. It is always good to have many skills. With this martial art, he will be more confident in dealing with Li Siyuan. He can even fight against Yuan Tiangang.

Since coming to this world, Su Ming always remembered that martial arts is his foundation. Without strong martial arts, no matter how high his status is, it will be nothing but ordinary.

······

However, what Su Ming didn't know was that at the highest point in the Luoyang Imperial Palace, a dark figure was overlooking the entire imperial city. This person was the bad commander Yuan Tiangang.

The Tang Emperor's ascension to the throne was announced to the world. How could he be absent from such a grand event? From the very beginning, he had been observing everything in secret.

The breeze made his clothes flutter, and his dark eyes were filled with cold light. "I have given you the opportunity. If you embark on this path, whether you can seize this opportunity to rebuild the country depends on you."

Yuan Tiangang looked up at the sky, as if he saw the shining stars through the sky: "After a hundred years of playing chess, there is finally a change. Li Chunfeng, I remember the divination back then. Now it seems that the way of heaven is unpredictable, and you and I have been deeply trapped in it."

"Now, the tiger has returned to the mountains, and I don't know when the real dragon will come out to the sea. Li Xingyun, Li Xingyun, please don't let me down." The hoarse voice dissipated in the wind, but the person had disappeared.

Chapter 38: Vent bad breath

Just after the hour of Yin, drums sounded in the palace, the gate was opened under the control of the imperial guards, and all the officials followed in.

Early in the morning, Su Ming got up, washed, and changed into court robes. Before, he did not accept palace maids because he was not used to it. However, the crown and court robes were very complicated clothes. It would take at least half an hour for one person to put them on.

So he just gave up, this thing was just too troublesome.

However, except for washing and changing clothes in the morning, the palace maids could not get close to him at other times. He knew that there must be Li Siyuan's people among them, so he was always on guard.

But now, he can accept the service of the palace maids with peace of mind. With the Three Holy Ladies of Huanyinfang here, he can leave these matters to them with peace of mind.

When they were in Qi State, they often served the empress and were already familiar with the process.

The drum beat three times and the court meeting officially began.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Su Ming wore a black dragon robe and sat on the throne. "My dear ministers, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The court officials slowly stood up, holding their tablets.

He coughed lightly and began to call the roll. "Lord Kong, the envoys from the princes sent gifts yesterday. How is the list of gifts you drafted going?"

Kong Xianwen's heart skipped a beat when his name was called, but he couldn't avoid it, so he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the list drafted by the Ministry of Rites has been completed. I beg Your Majesty to review it."

After saying this, he took out a memorial from his sleeve.

The eunuch standing on the side ran over swiftly, took the memorial and presented it to Su Ming.

He took the memorial and opened it, and lines of text came into view: "Appoint Prince Qi as the General Zhenbei, and reward him with 10,000 taels of gold, 20,000 pieces of Shu brocade, 10 boxes of jewels, and 50 beauties; appoint Prince Jin as the General Dingwu, and reward him with 30,000 taels of gold, 100,000 pieces of Shu brocade, 50 boxes of jewels, and 200 beauties."

Yesterday at the court meeting, he deliberately skipped Li Siyuan, but he didn't expect these two people to ignore his wishes and add Li Siyuan. It seems that they are determined to follow Li Siyuan to the end.
