Obtain the divine power at the beginning

She maintained a cold and indifferent attitude, as if she didn't care about anything in the world.

Then, she said to Li Zicheng in a contemptuous tone, "General Li, your humility is really admirable! However, I only exchanged an empty city for the loss of your thirteen brave generals and twenty-six thousand soldiers, and I don't think I have suffered any loss. What's more, I just asked you to temporarily guard my Tongguan for a few days. You have worked hard! General Li, have you had your meal?"

Tang Meiling's attitude is like the plum blossoms in the cold winter, cold and beautiful.

Zhao Jianqing was furious. Leaning on the iron crutch in his hand for support, he raised his finger excitedly, pointed at Tang Meiling, and asked sternly: "Tang Meiling, what are you planning? Have you forgotten who gave you the honor of the Queen of Martial Arts and who awarded you the award?" His voice echoed in the air, full of anger and questioning.

Seeing this, Generals Aobai and Longtanhu became furious and stepped forward, ready to kill Zhao Jianqing.

However, Tang Meiling waved to Generals Aobai and Longtanhu and whispered, "Generals, please stand back to your original positions!"

Although her voice was soft, it carried an unquestionable majesty.

Aobai and Longtanhu retreated reluctantly. They seemed more cautious this time and returned to their original positions silently without saying the word "Zha" again.

Tang Meiling said to Zhao Jianqing in a sarcastic tone and contemptuously, "Zhao Jianqing, open your eyes wide and look carefully. This is the court of the general. It is not a place where you can do whatever you want in the mountains. This is a place with rules and laws. You country bumpkins can't mess around here. The general's dragon and tiger generals are guarding here. How dare you, a mere country bumpkin, cause trouble here? It's an unrealistic fantasy. You'd better stand here respectfully and don't humiliate yourself here."

After she finished speaking, she waved at Zhao Jianqing again, treating him as if he were a servant, without concealing her contempt and disdain.

Tang Meiling's eyes were full of contempt, telling Zhao Jianqing that Zhao Jianqing was just an insignificant existence in this court, and was not worth the general's efforts at all.

~

Zhong Wanqiang raised his finger angrily and pointed it at Tang Meiling. The anger on his face was like a volcanic eruption, difficult to suppress.

His breathing was rapid and his chest heaved violently.

However, at this moment, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, and couldn't express his inner resentment in words.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng immediately raised his head and stretched out his hand to stop Zhong Wanqiang from doing anything reckless.

~

Immediately afterwards, Li Zicheng bowed deeply to Tang Meiling with an extremely respectful attitude.

His words were full of sincerity, expressing his deep apology: "General Tang, I came here with a sincere heart to apologize to you.

The loss of Xi'an made all of us feel extremely sad and regretful. As General Tang said, we sacrificed 13 brave generals and 26,000 soldiers in this battle, but in the end we only got an empty city. More importantly, this empty city only became the gateway to guard Tongguan, and the price we paid was so high that it was really regrettable.

After careful consideration, I have come here today to express my deepest apologies to you, hoping to alleviate your regrets a little."

~

Then, Li Zicheng took a deep breath, and continued in a thick-skinned and firm tone: "We are well aware that this failure has brought huge losses to the various rebel armies. Not only has our team suffered heavy losses, but the people have also suffered endless suffering.

We are willing to take responsibility and accept the punishment from General Tang and will never shirk our responsibilities.

However, we hope to get Mr. Tang's understanding and support and work together for our future. We believe that only by uniting as one can we overcome the current difficulties, regain our strength and create greater glory. "

~

Zhong Wanqiang, Zhao Jianqing, He Biduo, Wu Zhenzi and other martial artists present were all in deep silence at this moment, as if they were tightly bound by an invisible force and unable to break free.

They all knew that the passage of time had quietly changed Tang Meiling. She was no longer the pampered rich lady of the past, but had transformed into a commander of the three armies who led a strong army, guarded strategic locations, and was both wise and brave. In their hearts, the image of Tang Meiling became more and more noble, like a towering mountain that people looked up to but could not cross.

Everyone present could feel an invisible pressure, as if the passage of time had stopped at this moment.

Their eyes were all complicated and filled with helplessness.

Tang Meiling's transformation is not only external, but also internal. Her former weakness and innocence have long been worn away by the years, replaced by a kind of perseverance and courage, a leader's temperament that can lead the army into battle.

The martial artists present, whether it was Zhong Wanqiang, Zhao Jianqing, He Biduo or Wu Zhenzi, all felt deeply the tremendous change in Tang Meiling.

The rise of Tang Meiling forced those who once looked down on her to re-examine their positions. Her existence has brought about subtle changes in the entire martial arts world. Now, Tang Meiling is no longer the little girl who needs protection from others, but has become a powerful being who can protect others.

~

Hong Sigu was extremely surprised. He stared at Tang Meiling in amazement, feeling an indescribable chill in his heart.

His eyes were full of shock and disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.

He once boasted that he was a man of extraordinary wisdom and thought he could use tricks to call the wind and rain in the martial arts world, and he had a very high opinion of himself.

He always felt that he was the one who could control the overall situation and make plans.

However, Tang Meiling's wisdom and means made Hong Sigu feel ashamed, as if he was just an ignorant child in front of Tang Meiling. Hong Sigu now realized that he was just an insignificant little character in front of Tang Meiling.

His self-confidence completely collapsed at this moment.

~

Tang Meiling cast a meaningful look at Li Zicheng, and with a hint of indifference in her tone, she slowly said: "In this chaotic era, meaningless chatting is really a waste of time.

As the saying goes, hostility is not eternal, and friendship is not unbreakable. The only thing that is eternal is interest.

In this turbulent and uneasy era, everyone's life is full of hardships and challenges.

Please tell me directly how much food and fodder you need? How much silver do you need? I will fully agree to give you the support you need. Of course, you must state in detail your plan to attack the officers and soldiers.

If your plan is thorough and detailed, then I will provide more silver and food as a token of support. But if your plan has omissions, then I can only temporarily provide basic supplies to solve the urgent problem. "

~

Tang Meiling's almsgiving attitude aroused extreme anger among Zhong Wanqiang, Zhao Jianqing, He Biduo and others.

They were so angry that their eyes were bloodshot and they were burning with rage.

However, Li Zicheng was well aware that in order to achieve great things, he must learn to be tolerant at the right time.

He bowed slightly to Tang Meiling, clasped his hands together, and said respectfully: "Please invite Chief Zhong and others. The main goal is to assassinate Shi Mo and Wei Yao. The secondary goal is to at least force Shi Mo to abdicate. As long as Shi Mo leaves the rebellion army, our army will no longer be afraid of the Ming army."

Li Zicheng bowed to Tang Meiling again to express his respect, and then explained that if they could get rid of the two men, Shi Mo and Wei Yao, their cause would be more successful. The secondary goal was to at least force Shi Mo to abdicate, because Shi Mo's existence posed a huge threat to their various rebel armies. As long as Shi Mo left the rebellion army, the various rebel armies would no longer fear the Ming army.

Li Zicheng's words were full of wisdom and foresight, which made everyone present look at him with admiration.

~

"Haha!" After hearing this, Tang Meiling smiled brightly, as if she had seen through everything.

The result she expected was to make Shi Tianyu abdicate and separate him from Wei Xueyan. As long as Shi Tianyu could leave the rebellion army, the civil strife in the Ming court would continue, and the Qing Dynasty would be the ultimate beneficiary.

She knew very well that once Shi Tianyu left, the power struggle within the Ming court would intensify, thus weakening their power and creating favorable conditions for the rise of the Qing Dynasty. Although Li Zicheng and his subordinates fought hard, they might only lay the foundation for the Qing Dynasty in the future.

Then, Tang Meiling giggled, and her smile bloomed like a flower, just like a fragrant orchid or winter plum, and she looked particularly pretty and charming.

However, her laughter was full of pride and confidence, as if she had already seen the glorious future of the Qing Dynasty.

~

Li Zicheng keenly noticed a smile on Tang Meiling's face.

So he seized this rare opportunity and requested support in the form of silver and grain.

He bowed respectfully and said, "General Tang, I beg you to give me 5,000 dan of grain and 10,000 taels of silver. Currently, most of the soldiers of the various rebel armies are hungry and urgently need your support."

After hearing this, Tang Meiling agreed to Li Zicheng's request generously, and then shouted loudly: "Xun Jinchi, you go and allocate silver and grain to General Li immediately. I believe that General Li has hidden a lot of soldiers outside the pass, let them escort the silver and grain back. We must keep our promises and not break our promises!"

Although Xun Jinchi was a little confused, he always obeyed the orders of this "junior sister", so he took action immediately after receiving the order and quickly allocated the required silver and grain to ensure that Li Zicheng could successfully bring these supplies back to the outside of the Great Wall to support the hungry rebel soldiers.

~

Tang Meiling then said to Li Zicheng: "General Li, it is very late now and the cooks have gone to rest.

This general will not keep you here for dinner. You just wait for half an incense stick, and the silver and grain will be delivered.

I feel a little sleepy now, so I'm going to take a rest first. Sorry for the rudeness. If I hear good news about you in the future, I will consider giving up Tongguan to you. "After saying that, she stood up, left a word, and walked away.

~

Tang Meiling did feel sleepy, but her mood became cheerful.

She returned to her boudoir, went to bed with her clothes on, and fell into a deep sleep.

She slept very soundly and peacefully. In her dream, she seemed to see Li Zicheng leading the rebel army to victory outside the Great Wall, and she herself was in Tongguan to welcome their return.

Her mood became even happier, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

~

Under the cover of night, sparse stars occasionally twinkled, the dew was bitingly cold, and the cold wind cut the air mercilessly like a knife. Li Zicheng, Zhong Wanqiang and his party carried heavy silver and grain on their shoulders and moved carefully and secretly along the rugged mountain road. They knew the difficulties and obstacles on the way, but for the sake of their mission, they had to grit their teeth and move forward step by step.

Wu Zhenzi complained as he walked: "Damn it, we have really become beggars. Alas! The World Martial Alliance has made Tang Meiling the biggest winner. It's fucking weird. She has the reputation of a queen and military power, and we all have to ask her for help. Hey! What kind of world is this!"

Only after leaving Tongguan did he dare to vent his dissatisfaction, he was really unwilling to accept it.
