Chapter 66 "The Mistress's Savior"
"Qing'er."
Qi Ming, dressed in the Beggars' Sect uniform, twirled around with a flourish, looked at his yet-to-be-married wife, and asked with a smile:
"Does my outfit look promising?"
Li Qinglu chuckled: "Only four bags? That's hardly enough to be a gang leader! But I think it's more than enough to be a prince consort."
"No joke."
Qi Ming's expression turned serious: "Yipintang and the Beggars' Sect are at odds. If I were to attack them in the future, would you be angry?"
Li Qinglu complained: "You call my grandma a witch every day and even fight with her. Am I angry? What they do has nothing to do with me. For the rest of my life, I am only a member of your Qi family."
"That's true."
Qi Ming said in a serious tone: "Princess Wencheng's marriage and Wang Zhaojun's departure from the border do not prevent the Tang Dynasty from fighting the Tibetans and the Han Dynasty from fighting the Xiongnu."
Li Qinglu blinked and said, "Are they both beautiful, or am I, the princess, more beautiful? I think I'm the most beautiful."
Qi Ming praised them generously: "They have the beauty to make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and you, Qing'er, have the beauty to shame the moon and flowers."
The phrase "sinking fish and falling geese" appeared relatively early, but "closing the moon and shamed flowers" appeared in Yuan dynasty drama.
Li Qinglu happily said, "Thank you for the compliment, husband!"
After saying that, she jumped into Qi Ming's arms again.
Qi Ming laughed and said, "You, a princess of noble birth, are a perfect match for a stinking beggar like me."
Li Qinglu giggled sweetly, "I'd be happy to be paired with them, but as for other princesses or illegitimate princesses, I might not be willing!"
What's wrong with the princess?
Even the Princess of Zhennan is worthy of her!
Dao Baifeng had no idea that the cripple was Duan Yanqing.
He wanted to find the ugliest, most despicable, and filthy beggar's lover in the world to get revenge on Duan Zhengchun's philandering.
It worked on the first try.
That is, Duan Yu.
If that person wasn't Duan Yanqing, the legitimate ruler of Dali, then the entire Dali region would have been usurped.
and so.
Qi Ming is not Duan Zhengchun.
Duan Zhengchun was a womanizer, but he was deeply affectionate towards each of them, and was even willing to die for them.
Qi Ming cannot, or even is incapable of, having feelings. For him, true love is just a burden, something he doesn't need to possess; he'll be content with fake affection!
After chatting for a while, Qi instructed, "Stay home obediently. Things are not peaceful these days. I'm going to the branch headquarters right away and won't be back until tonight."
Li Qinglu nodded: "You also need to be careful. Your martial arts are the best in the world, but when others use poison, it's hard to guard against!"
"Sad Breeze" is very powerful.
A niche similar to "Ten Fragrant Softening Powder".
Even the best players can't defend against it.
"With the protection of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, I am immune to all poisons. I can only withstand the effects of the poison, but there are brothels in the city, so I don't need to worry."
"You pervert! You have a wife at home, why do you still go to brothels? Believe me or not, I'll bite you to death!"
"Too early."
"I've already come of age! Humph, I know, you just want to see my cousin first, and if she's prettier, you'll marry her, right?"
"no."
"Swear it!"
"I swear, Qing'er will always be number one in my heart."
"Yunniang should be second; the other women shouldn't have any positions, okay?"
"What should I do if the Imperial Concubine bestows a marriage upon me?"
"You already called her a vixen, why are you still bothered by this? You're just after your cousin, I'm ignoring you!"
"..."
That being said.
When Qi Ming returned home that evening, the girl still squeezed onto his bed and demanded that he tell her about what he had seen and heard that day.
Of course I have seen and heard about it.
But not in the major branch.
The Kang and Quan gang's actions were not a temporary stunt.
They won over other branch factions.
Of course, Qi Ming shouldn't have known about this, since he was in the Dayi branch that hadn't been won over.
But this doesn't prevent him from arriving at this conclusion through "forced reasoning"...
After all, after Qiao Feng left, the Beggars' Sect needed a leader who was not only highly skilled in martial arts but also had top-notch wisdom!
"Is it really that amazing?"
Li Qinglu exclaimed excitedly, "Honey, you have to take me with you after this happens!"
Qi Ming slapped him: "That's for later. Now go to sleep and stop bothering me."
"Okay, I'm going back to sleep."
"Sleep here with me, and don't wake Yunniang again."
"..."
Li Qinglu actually wanted to go back.
Because Qi Ming would wake her up before dawn every day and urge her to practice her skills, but if she and Yun Niang asked to sleep in, they would be less likely to be urged, since there's a lot of people involved!
***
If you think about something too much, it will seem strange.
For example, the Beggars' Sect.
A sect that primarily uses unilateral extortion as its means of operation, yet possesses formidable martial prowess, seems incredibly strange! Is it a gang, or a tax department of the Song Dynasty? It's clearly illogical.
However, using various means to "rob the rich and help the poor" does not fit the chivalrous character of the Beggars' Sect.
Therefore, the Beggars' Sect also had tertiary industries and land.
They have a stable source of income.
Each branch naturally also has its own private property.
As a rising star in the Dayi branch, Qi Ming was naturally able to get involved in some local business and understand the situation, which prepared him for becoming the leader in the future.
Three days later.
A group of people arrived in Suzhou.
details as follows:
Duan Zhengchun, Dao Baifeng, Qin Hongmian, and Gan Baobao.
Duan Yu, Mu Wanqing, and Zhong Ling, siblings.
The two eminent monks of Tenryu-ji Temple, Honsang and Honsang.
Several of Duan Zhengchun's retainers.
Cui Baiquan, a member of the Funiu School, who was hiding in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion under the pseudonym "Mr. Huo," and his nephew Guo Yanzhi.
This is the lineup from Dali.
The Tibetan contingent consisted only of Kumārajīva.
But with his fighting prowess, the Duan family members were no match for him.
He is one of the "Four Masters" and is very strong in actual combat.
However, due to their status, they needed a respectable excuse and could not act against the Dali royal family at will.
It wouldn't matter if we took action against "Murong Fu".
Therefore, we must help "Murong Fu" to prevent this son of an old friend from being outnumbered and unable to protect his sword manual.
Mantuo Villa.
The maid Xiao Cui said awkwardly, "Those Dali people outnumbered us and the nannies didn't dare to make a move."
Madam Wang snorted and said nothing more.
She looks just like Li Qiushui.
But it's even more perverse.
Because of Duan Zhengchun, her thinking became even more extreme. She would treat anyone who came to Suzhou with a Dali accent as fertilizer to nourish the camellias she planted.
It's not that she loves flowers that much.
Instead, since there are many camellias in Dali, she used this method to remember her Chun-ge.
But that's not the most outrageous part!
She also has a peculiar habit that Qi Ming is willing to call "the savior of mistresses"!
Because she enjoys forcing men to kill their wives so that the mistress can become the legal wife!
But just like how a certain Yao spoke up for the mistress when she was a mistress, but then defended the wife after she became the wife, what would happen if she really became Duan Zhengchun's princess?
Can those unfortunate wives, and the men who refused to kill their wives and were used as fertilizer, ever be brought back to life?
Another bully who preys on the weak.
Everyone in Duan Zhengchun's group spoke with a Dali accent, but because they outnumbered them, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
Duan Zhengchun didn't dare to come over either.
Dao Baifeng, Qin Hongmian, and Gan Baobao are all watching!
But after Xiao Cui described it, Li Qingluo realized that the person who came was Duan Zhengchun.
Then she won't be afraid!
