My mission

After the butler left, the secret guard in the dark appeared.

He knelt on one knee, bowed his head and clasped his fists, and reported to Qingyin: "Master, Li Shimin ran away from home and is now almost in Luoyang City."

After hearing what was said, Qingyin's mouth corners slightly raised and a barely perceptible smile flashed in her eyes.

She said softly, "Okay, I understand. Go make the arrangements and I'll run into him later."

After receiving the order, the secret guard clasped his fists again and said, "Yes, Master. I will arrange it right away and will definitely satisfy you."

After the secret guard finished speaking, he stood up and left, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

Qing Yin looked at the direction where the secret guard left, thinking to herself: "Li Shimin, Li Shimin, I didn't expect you to come to my door before I took any action.

Once I lead you back to Chang'an City, my mandatory tasks one and two will be completed quickly.

Then, I can wander around freely again.

Hahaha~ I feel happy just thinking about it~"

Thinking of this, Qingyin couldn't help but grinned until his teeth were invisible.

After laughing, Qingyin turned around and went back to the room, changed into men's clothes, and prepared to go out and pretend to meet by chance.

She knew that this encounter would be an important step in his plan, and would determine how quickly the mandatory mission could be completed.

As long as she could successfully meet Li Shimin and lead him back to Chang'an City, her mission would be accomplished.

So, on the bustling streets of Chang'an City, Qingyin was dressed in men's clothes, looking heroic.

Her appearance attracted a lot of attention, but she didn't care and continued walking leisurely.

Suddenly, Qingyin's attention was attracted by a man with extraordinary temperament.

The man was tall and handsome, with an extraordinary temperament between his brows.

Qingyin's heart moved, and she couldn't help but walk forward, wanting to get to know this man.

"My name is Li Shimin. May I ask your name?"

The man took the initiative to speak, his voice deep and magnetic.

Qingyin was delighted. She didn't expect that this man was Li Shimin!

She immediately replied, "My last name is Qing, and my given name is Yin. I am so lucky to meet you on the street today."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Mr. Qingyin, nice to meet you. Seeing your elegant demeanor, you must be a talented person."

Qingyin said modestly: "I don't deserve it, I just know a little about literature."

Li Shimin said: "Mr. Qingyin is too modest. I just heard you reciting a poem, the artistic conception of the poem is profound and memorable.

I wonder if Mr. Qingyin is interested in discussing poetry with me?"

Qingyin was secretly delighted. She didn't expect that Li Shimin was actually interested in poetry.

She immediately agreed: "Of course, I am very willing to discuss poetry with you, sir."

So the two of them walked and talked, from poetry and songs to their ideals in life, and the more they talked, the more they got along.

Li Shimin admired Qingyin's talent very much, and Qingyin also deeply admired Li Shimin's insight and vision.

Before they knew it, they had walked a long way.

Finally, Li Shimin said: "Mr. Qingyin, it is a great honor to meet you today. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future."

Qingyin also said: "Take care, young master, and we'll see you again if we're lucky."

After the two parted, Qingyin felt a lot of emotions.

In the following days, Qingyin deliberately created opportunities for encounters with Li Shimin many times, making him feel that there was a deep connection between the two.

But because Qingyin had always been dressed as a man, Li Shimin didn't know that she was a woman.

When Li Shimin was about to return to Chang'an, he invited Qingyin: "Qingyin, I admire your talent very much. Would you like to go back to Chang'an with me?"

When Qingyin heard what Li Shimin said, she knew that the encounters and conversations during this period had made him very impressed with her.

But she disguised herself as a man, and after returning to Chang'an, she could not guarantee that her identity would not be exposed.

This made Qingyin extremely distressed, and a distressed expression appeared on her face.

After asking, Li Shimin kept observing Qingyin's expression and immediately noticed the distress on her face.

He instantly realized that it was his question that made Qingyin embarrassed.

He suppressed his reluctance and said, "Qingyin, if it is inconvenient for you to go to Chang'an with me, just tell me directly, there is no need to worry so much."

At this time, Li Shimin had not yet realized that his attachment to Qingyin was not just due to his reluctance to part with his good friend, but had other reasons.

However, he did not know Qingyin's identity as a woman, so his emotions were like a butterfly trapped in the dark, unable to dance.

At this time, Qingyin thought about whether she should confess her identity as a woman directly to Li Shimin, but she was afraid that it would affect the brotherhood between the two.

In the end, Qingyin decided not to confess and to keep it a secret as long as possible.

Perhaps, only after completing the mandatory task would Li Shimin discover that she was a woman.

By that time, her mission had been completed, and it didn't matter whether she could continue to be brothers with Li Shimin.

Anyway, the mission has been completed, and she can leave this mission world at any time if she wants.

That’s right, Li Shimin’s sincerity is pitiful. He really treats Qingyin as a good brother now.

So Qingyin said, "Brother Li, I have a child, and I don't feel comfortable leaving me alone in Luoyang City."

Li Shimin heard that Qingyin was so distressed because of the child.

Then he said, "Then Qingyin, you can take the child with you, so you can feel more at ease."

When Qingyin heard this, she thought about it seriously.

Finally, she decided that it would be a good idea to take Qing Miaohan with her to Chang'an City.

She would be really worried if she left Qing Miaohan, the naughty and daring little kid, alone in Luoyang City.

She was always worried that Qing Miaohan would get into trouble or that she would be hurt.

Then, when she was on a mission, she would often be distracted by thinking about her, worrying whether she would be in danger or being bullied.

Moreover, she felt that if she took her with her, if someone really wanted to deal with her or attack the little girl, she would be able to rescue her in time.

Thinking of this, Qingyin made up her mind and decided to take Qing Miaohan with her.

So, Qingyin said with a firm look in her eyes: "Okay, I will listen to Brother Li and take the child with me to Chang'an."

Li Shimin looked at Qingyin and felt inexplicably moved.

He knew that Qingyin's action required great courage and determination, and he also understood his trust and reliance on him.

Li Shimin patted Qingyin's shoulder and said softly, "Qingyin, don't worry, I'm here, you and the child will be fine."

After hearing this, Qingyin felt a little more at ease.

She nodded and said, "Brother Li, I'm unfamiliar with Chang'an, so I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on."

There seemed to be a hint of helplessness and self-mockery in her tone, as if she had foreseen the difficulties in the future.
