"What's wrong?" Xiao Leng frowned. A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. He glanced at Gu Qiangwei and took the book back from Gu Qiangwei with a frown. He said, "This was left to me by a woman."

"Then where is she now and what is your relationship with her?" Gu Qiangwei's eyes flashed a trace of shock as she stared at Xiao Leng. She couldn't wait to get an answer. Her eyes were filled with hope. If there really was a woman who had transmigrated here, then Gu Qiangwei would have someone to rely on in this world.

"She left. A few years ago, she suddenly entered the palace to be my maid. Afterwards, she expressed her feelings to me and I rejected her. Then, she left." Xiao Leng glanced at Gu Qiangwei. A hint of nostalgia flashed across his eyes. That person was just like Gu Qiangwei. He was also very interesting, but it was a pity.

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Gu Qiangwei's originally hopeful face. With a sigh, she whispered, "I'm really blind to like you."

"You." Hearing that, a hint of coldness flashed across Xiao Leng's eyes. His face was tense and he said with a frown, "Why are you asking about her?"

"No reason. This poem probably wants to tell you that she won't turn back." Gu Qiangwei glanced at Xiao Leng as he returned the book to him.

"Hmph." Hearing that, Xiao Leng sneered and shook his head without replying.

"Do you know what happened to the Gu family four years ago?" Gu Qiangwei poked her hand and looked up at Xiao Leng. Last time, she asked Lee Mingzhi the same question, but since Lee Mingzhi was too busy and forgot to answer, Gu Qiangwei had no choice but to ask Xiao Leng.

"Four years ago, Prime Minister Gu embezzled the silver for disaster relief and even killed the supervisor who was sent to the disaster area. The evidence is conclusive." Xiao Leng raised his eyebrows as a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes. He gently flipped the book in his hand and asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"Turn over the case." If the Gu family was truly guilty, then don't say anything. If they weren't guilty, then Gu Qiangwei definitely wouldn't have seen them being wronged for no reason. Even if they took over this body, Gu Qiangwei would seriously investigate.

"Hmph." The corner of his mouth hooked up in disdain, he shook his head and said: "The Gu family has a big family, nothing more. Prime Minister Gu has many aides, and they couldn't do anything about it back then. After four years, it's even harder for you to turn the case than ascending to the heavens.

"It's not easy for you to overthrow the emperor. You might very well die without a burial ground. Aren't you going to have to face difficulties? Of course I can." A trace of a smile flashed across Gu Qiangwei's eyes. She looked at Xiao Leng firmly and said.

Xiao Leng nodded slightly and said, "Whatever you want. I won't care if something happens to you."

In the days that followed, Gu Qiangwei also felt that her hands and feet were too weak to hold on to even half of her strength. That was why she felt that she should join in the training as well.

It was a sunny day outside. Gu Qiangwei had arrived at the training base early in the morning, and the soldiers had already started their training.

Xiao Leng also came today. He glanced at Gu Qiangwei and smiled, "After training for so long, let me see your capabilities."

Hearing that, Gu Qiangwei was stunned, she had never seen Xiao Leng fight before. Thinking that she was in the black belt after all, so she couldn't lose face, a trace of a smile flashed in her eyes, "Come."

He suddenly reached out his hand to lock Gu Qiangwei's throat, and a trace of coldness and surprise flashed across Gu Qiangwei's eyes. Xiao Leng was too fast, like a gust of wind, Gu Qiangwei couldn't help but retreat until she was pushed against the wall, then she suddenly extended her arm to block Xiao Leng's claw.

Xiao Leng pinched Gu Qiangwei's arm, a trace of coldness flashing across his eyes.

Gu Qiangwei reacted quickly. When Xiao Leng grabbed his arm, her other hand also held Xiao Leng's wrist tightly.

Gu Qiangwei turned her body and escaped from Xiao Leng's hand. The corner of Xiao Leng's mouth curved into a smile as his other hand also reached out towards Gu Qiangwei.

A trace of coldness flashed across Gu Qiangwei's eyes. She bent down and slipped under Xiao Leng's armpit.

A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Leng's eyes. He reached out his hand to grab Gu Qiangwei, but Gu Qiangwei held Xiao Leng's wrist with one hand and circled around Xiao Leng like a fish. Xiao Leng couldn't grab her at all.

While Xiao Leng was getting confused, Gu Qiangwei suddenly grabbed the back of Xiao Leng's hand and threw him behind her back.

Xiao Leng's heart turned cold and a hint of shock flashed across his eyes. By the time Xiao Leng reacted, it was already too late. He had already soared into the sky.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Xiao Leng's eyes. He suddenly patted Gu Qiangwei's shoulder and escaped from his past hands. After circling twice in the air, he slowly landed on the ground and patted his clothes gently with a calm look.

Gu Qiangwei was unlucky. Originally, fighting with Xiao Leng had taken a lot of effort, but in the end, she was slapped by Xiao Leng. Gu Qiangwei fell flat on her face.

"Alright." The soldiers standing outside could not help but start celebrating loudly. Gu Qiangwei crawled on the ground, slowly stood up and rubbed her waist. "Ouch."

Xiao Leng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Gu Qiangwei and said, "I'm still lacking a little bit, but to be able to withstand one of my attacks is already quite good."

Gu Qiangwei raised her head and rolled her eyes as she looked at Gu Qiangwei, "I've twisted my waist, so you have to take responsibility. You have to pay me."

Xueruun couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this. She glanced at Gu Qiangwei before shaking her head helplessly. "Stop pretending. You clearly supported yourself when you fell down."

Gu Qiangwei clapped her hands, looked at Xiao Leng and said, "Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm, you're really awesome. What's the big deal if you bully a little kid like me? If you have the ability to fight with a general."

Gu Qiangwei knew that the ancient martial arts were very complicated, and the strange moves were endless. It was because she was too young.

"He can't beat me." Xiao Leng slowly put on his sleeves and lightly waved his fan. His hair didn't show any signs of messy hair, he looked at the warriors training outside, Fengxian's training method was indeed good, this was a new training method, first strengthening the soldiers' foundation, then training their reaction ability, it was also very good.

When Gu Qiangwei heard what Xiao Leng said, her eyes widened and her mouth opened so wide that an egg could fit inside. A trace of disbelief flashed across her eyes as she swallowed her saliva.

How great was Xiao Leng's martial arts.

"Don't underestimate him. The general's martial arts were taught to him by Madam." Xueruun said as she covered the corner of her mouth, smiling slightly as she narrowed her eyes.

Hearing that, Gu Qiangwei's face looked even more incredulous. She glanced at the tall woman standing in front of her with her chest out and eyes full of shock. Perhaps Xiao Leng didn't have many advantages compared to her.

"Gu Qiangwei, you should train harder." Suddenly, Xiao Leng turned around and looked at Gu Qiangwei. A hint of a smile flashed across his eyes as he slowly said this with a frown.

Hearing that, a hint of darkness flashed across Gu Qiangwei's face. She frowned heavily and thought that she had never thought about Xiao Leng before. Xiao Leng was such a hateful person.

"You mean, they've got something going on, some unspeakable secret?" A hint of coldness flashed across the emperor's eyes as he looked at State Duke Qi. He frowned and threw the imperial report away.

"Yes." Ann Yuan hurriedly nodded as a trace of hatred flashed across his face. He looked at the emperor and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Lee Mingzhi and his wife went to the wooden house where the disaster relief happened more and more frequently. How come there must be some unspeakable secret?"

"What evidence do you have?" The emperor looked at Ann Yuan and a trace of boredom flashed across his eyes. He frowned. This Ann Yuan must have something on his mind to cause such a ruckus here, which made the emperor feel uneasy.

"Your majesty, there are often food shipments in. This old official suspects that Lee Mingzhi is secretly training the army inside." Ann Yuan looked at the emperor with a face full of loyalty and sighed. "The emperor treats Lee Mingzhi so well. If he still does such a thing, then it would be too unfair for the emperor."

"Is that true?" Hearing this, the emperor's face changed. A hint of shock flashed in his eyes, and he fiercely frowned as he spoke. The emperor was already suspicious, so how could he sit still when he heard Ann Yuan's words?

"Last time, County Head Yiping brought some workers to ask the workers about the repairs. The workers said it was to build a place like a training field." Ann Yuan had been following Gu Qiangwei since a long time ago. At this moment, Gu Qiangwei didn't know that Wu Tie had also found Gu Qiangwei's workers. He had spoken of this under threat, otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to come and tell the Emperor about it.

"How preposterous." Hearing this, the Emperor slammed the table. A trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. He frowned and said, "What a good County Head Yiping and what a good General Xuanhe. Look into this for me."

The emperor's eyes were about to spew fire.
