If this is the case, Li Cunren would rather deal with Lin Yu.
But at the same time, there are great opportunities for manipulation. When necessary, she can even choose to give up Hei Wuchang directly.

If Li Cunren wanted to do it, he could have dealt with King Qi and the Empress before Lin Yu came back.

Killing them is not necessarily possible, but maybe it can make them behave themselves.

“It seems to work.”

Li Cunren thought to himself.

"How about it, have you thought about it?"

Hei Wuchang noticed Li Cunren's hesitant expression and thought to himself that his plan was probably almost done.

Hei Wuchang knew what Li Cunren would do, and even planned to encourage her to do so.

Because he concealed the fact that in Qi Country, besides what he said, there was another even more terrifying guy.

"Okay, I agree to your terms."

Li Cunren finally nodded.

"Besides, if you just wait for Lin Yu to show up before taking action, it would be a very stupid thing to do."

Hei Wuchang reminded Li Cunren.

"I'll lay out everything I can before then."

Li Cunren said softly.

"Then...it depends on your sincerity."

Hei Wuchang said softly.

Li Cunren left quietly.

Hei Wuchang has achieved his goal. Hei Wuchang guessed that the person who fought with him in that space was most likely from Qi State.

He will appear and take action when necessary. He is extremely powerful and unstoppable.

If Li Cunren wants to deal with some people in advance, he will not be able to get around the empress.

Hei Wuchang didn't know where the man went after the place collapsed, but he thought he would appear if the empress was in danger.

Just like Hei Wuchang was originally following behind the empress.

The empress sat on the main seat in Huanyin Pavilion, and many saints knelt below. Huanyin Pavilion also arranged a seat for Lu Linxuan in the corner on the side.

She can only be considered safe if she can be seen at all times.

Ever since the constructed space collapsed, Hei Wuchang has not appeared again, and the shadow that has always shrouded his heart seemed to suddenly dissipate.

No one can be sure whether Hei Wuchang left Qi State or gave up his original purpose.

The empress was able to learn about Lin Yu through Huanyinfang and knew that he was on his way back to Qi State.

It may only take a few days for me to come back.

But after careful consideration by the empress, she ultimately did not let the people from Huanyinfang tell Lin Yu about Hei Wuchang's arrival and the current situation of Qi State.

Because there is no way to guarantee whether Hei Wuchang is really still monitoring all this.

"Why, with all of you, you can't find her?"

The empress looked a little angry, but not because of Hei Wuchang, because Hei Wuchang had already shown up.

The person the empress asked Huanyinfang to find was Li Cunren. If Lu Linxuan did not lie, then Li Cunren was still in Qi State.

Hei Wuchang is indeed in the dark, but at least he is mentally prepared. However, if Li Cunren continues to hide, it will be a huge disaster.

So many people in Huanyinfang couldn't find her, which gave the empress a headache.

But the empress had to admit this reality. No matter how many arrangements were made, it would be meaningless. This was a pure difference in strength.

The empress dispersed everyone and returned to her room alone.

The saints originally planned to say something nice to the empress, or to act coquettishly, in order to make the empress feel better.

This trick has always worked. In the past, the Saints had always been able to use various means to please the Empress.

Strictly speaking, the Empress is not really like a head parent to Huanyinfang. To be precise, she is more like a sister.

No matter how strict she is, no matter how harsh her words are, she will always protect her sisters.

But this time the saints were defeated. They were even forced back by the empress's eyes when they just approached the door of the room.

It seemed that in the eyes of the empress, they couldn't even enter the door.

In fact, the empress didn't necessarily have to face them in that manner, but she just wanted to be alone now.

She needs quiet.

But there was one disobedient kid who just kept rubbing his head outside the door.

"Why, do you have to make me angry to feel better?"

"I told you not to come in without my permission."

The empress shouted out loud. She could clearly feel that there was someone outside. She didn't even need to look for a shadow; she could hear the footsteps with her ears.

But in the end, the door of the room was pushed open.

The empress turned around suddenly, she wanted to see clearly who was so blind, but when she saw who it was, she was suddenly stunned.

The person who came had a mask on her face. She had a graceful figure, but her appearance could not be seen clearly. She was carrying a weapon on her back, and the clothes she was wearing had the logo of Tongwenguan.

"Li Cunren?"

The empress asked tentatively.

"It's me. I came here to do something. I hope the Empress can cooperate, because this will be a good thing for both of us."

Li Cunren went straight to the point.

"What do you want from me?"

"We have no plans to attack Qi Country for now. Of course, as long as you are willing to cooperate, your life will be safe. There is only one thing I need the Empress to do."

"You may have to stay in this room for the next few days."

"Of course, to ensure everything goes well, I will stay here as well."

"If you are in danger, I will help you. If you need anything, just tell me. Of course, I will not stop you from doing any official business."

"Just stay here."

Li Cunren said softly.

While staring at the empress, she slowed down her pace and approached slowly. She was wary of the possibility that the empress would counterattack.

You will also take control of all the details that follow.

"In other words, you need me to become a puppet, right?"

The empress said calmly.

"No, no, no, you don't have to be nervous. I've made it very clear that I won't interfere with any of your decisions, and it's only a few days."

Li Cunren seemed to have lowered her posture, but in fact, the words she said were more like coercion.

"It's for Lin Yu, right? To kill Lin Yu, this is Hei Wuchang's goal, and you, have you cooperated with Hei Wuchang?"

The empress looked at Li Cunren with amusement in her eyes.

"Please don't think too much. I am just following orders. As for why I do this, that is not something I can think about."

Li Cunren smiled. "I understand."

The empress took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

"Thank you for your cooperation. I can assure you that you have made the most correct choice. Regarding this, I will report it to King Jin when I return to Tongwen Pavilion."

"Please believe that Tongwenguan and Huanyinfang have never been enemies, and the same is true between Jin and Qi."

Li Cunren bowed slightly and clasped his fists.

In her opinion, the outcome of this matter did not need to be specifically explained, because the empress actually had no other choice.

"Humph, you have no chance of returning alive."

The decision the empress actually made was completely different from what Li Cunren expected.

Not only did the empress refuse, she even took the initiative to attack Li Cunren. The empress of Huanyinfang has been famous for a long time, and she has long been a top-notch master in the world.

Although she is a woman, she has full explosive power when her body moves.

The empress's inner strength surged and her expression became extremely serious.

She was prepared to bear any consequences, even her own death.

What she wants to fight for is the dignity as an empress.

The empress did not take direct action against Hei Wuchang and missed the opportunity to protect Huanyinfang. She still regrets it now.

There wasn't a moment in that day when I didn't regret the decisions I had made.

After all, the empress is still a woman, a young woman even. Qi State is not hers. She is just forced to move forward because of the responsibilities she shoulders.

No one has ever taught her how to govern a country, but the empress will never make the same mistakes again.

If you compromise for the first time, there will be a second time, and by then no one will take Qi State seriously.

So now the empress not only has to refuse, but also has to maintain her own dignity.

"You have to think carefully about what the consequences of doing this will be."

Li Cunren stretched out his hand and shook hands with the empress.

The internal force in the palm surged outward, and the surrounding air began to ripple like the surface of a pool of water.

"Of course I know what I'm doing. As for the result, it's because I've thought about it and that's why I need to do it."

The empress pulled her hand back, but she had no intention of stopping the attack.

Every time she attacked, she was aiming at Li Cunren's face, forcing Li Cunren to retreat continuously.

Li Cunren's mind kept thinking that she couldn't really kill the empress here. If she really did that, she would have no way to explain to Prince Jin when she returned.

For the sake of a Black Impermanence, endless troubles are caused.

When he first agreed to Hei Wuchang, Li Cunren only thought that the empress was a sensible person and would eventually compromise.

But I didn't expect the empress to have such a fierce personality.

Li Cunren suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have just tied up Hei Wuchang and took him away.

Anyway, King Jin didn't specify what kind of condition Hei Wuchang must be in, as long as he is alive, that's fine.

"In the palm strike we faced each other earlier, the Empress might have thought that we were equally matched, but in reality, this was just the result of me hiding my strength."

"You are no match for me."

Li Cunren is still giving his final exhortations.

“You have to try to know.”

The Empress's fighting style is very smart, her movements are graceful and clean, and each of her shots is extremely precise.

He dodged again using his body shape, and then waited for the opportunity for Li Cunren to reveal a flaw.

The empress learned all her martial arts from King Qi. She had the habit of practicing martial arts since she was very young, and she had fought with him many times over the years.

Rich combat experience is almost her most powerful weapon.

The empress was very confident at first, but as time passed, she suddenly found that Li Cunren could completely withstand all her attacks.

It seemed that Li Cunren had anticipated what moves the empress would use and the angle she would attack at a certain moment.

For several moments, the empress suddenly realized that she seemed to have been seen through.

But even if it was true, even if she was really no match for Li Cunren, she had no intention of giving up.

"She is no match for me, she is no match for me!"

The empress growled in her heart.

This was the method King Qi taught her when she was very young.

If you don't have confidence when practicing martial arts, you won't get any feedback in actual combat.

Without self-confidence, even if you have great talents, you won’t be able to fully utilize them.

Sometimes using false lies to numb yourself is a good way.

The empress hooked the long sword hanging on the wall with her toes, the blade spun in the air, and the empress grabbed it in her palm.

Stabbed straight towards Li Cunren's chest.

The empress had tried her best to do it quickly, but when the sword was about to pierce Li Cunren's skin, she only used two fingers to clamp the empress's sword.

The empress was weaker than hers, and no matter how hard she tried, the sword could not move forward even a little bit.

Li Cunren applied a little force with his fingers, and the sword blade broke into pieces.

Li Cunren stretched his hand behind him, and the two same swords were unsheathed, with cold light flashing before his eyes.

The empress turned over and retreated, but Li Cunren was now determined to make the empress realize the gap between the two sides, so that perhaps this would make the empress calm down.

The empress was forced to start defending. Li Cunren danced with both swords very well, and the empress's eyes were dazzled. She had to concentrate, otherwise she would be caught by the swords.

Once the opportunity is seized, she will be subjected to a torrent of attacks, and the sword will be able to cut through any of her vital points.

This is how the battle between masters is. Once a flaw is discovered, it is almost equivalent to death.

Li Cunren has been practicing martial arts since she was young, and the long sword is indeed what she is good at, but she has no intention of using it to win.

Because this is too slow and also very dangerous. If the empress is really hurt, Li Cunren doesn't want to see this.

Li Cunren just wanted to teach the empress a lesson.

For this purpose, she had no intention of using her sword to kill the empress. Her real killing move was the hidden weapon in her sleeve.

When the sword was dancing, the empress was extremely focused and she did not notice what suddenly shot out from Li Cunren's sleeve.

Even after ejaculation, she had no way of reacting.

Li Cunren has used this technique more than once, and it worked every time, and the empress was no exception.

The frequently swung long sword will hide the movements well under the sleeves.

Li Cunren's movements were very wide and sharp at a certain moment, but the empress did not find it unusual and thought that there was just some mistake in Li Cunren's movements.

The empress couldn't see clearly, but Li Cunren could see that the hidden weapon was about to hit the empress's body.

But at this moment, an invisible airflow suddenly came and bounced away all the hidden weapons shot by Li Cunren.

Li Cunren was startled. It was obvious that someone was protecting her in an invisible place.

Li Cunren's first reaction was Lin Yu, but if it was him, there was no need to hide in the dark, and the timing was not right. (End of this chapter)
