As soon as Chu Qiu said this, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
Ding!
"The system has successfully signed in! Reward: Iron Skin Technique.”
"This Iron Skin technique will be completely fused with the host within three days.”
Hearing the system's voice, Chu Qiu couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
F * ck, Li Er had already become like this. The reward from the system was actually the invulnerable Iron Shirt.
The system's imagination was really big.
I like it.
……
Chu Qiu had already signed in earlier and obtained techniques such as divine-level archery, Overlord's divine power, and Emperor's Might and Fury.
This time, he obtained the Iron Skin Technique.
He really couldn't wait to come three days later and wait for the Iron Skin Technique to fuse with him so that he could experience it properly.
Chu Qiu, as a top student from the future, had transmigrated here for more than ten years.
Just because he looked exactly like Li Er, he was captured and brought to the palace to be Li Shiming's 'stand-in'.
From then on, he was trapped in this place and lived without sunlight for many years.
Substitutes were also known as shadows in this era.
This was Li Shiming's last 'amulet.'
To put it bluntly, he was rushing to the front to die for him so that he could have a chance to live.
Perhaps other people in this world also had shadows.
However, the person who valued the shadow the most was probably Li Shiming.
For this " shadow ", Li Shimin specially established a huge and mysterious secret guard organization-" Shadow Guard ".
There were many experts among the Shadow Guards.
Experts with all kinds of skills.
Usually, they would send someone to train Chu Qiu.
He trained him to ride a horse and shoot arrows, military strategies, speech, and mannerisms.
Then, he would make Chu Qiu's every move, every word, and action no different from Li Shiming's.
More importantly, it was to cultivate his absolute loyalty to Li Shiming.
Only when the shadow was loyal to the master from the beginning to the end could the master use the shadow to achieve the corresponding purpose.
Fortunately, Chu Qiu's performance as Li Shiming's temporary replacement made Li Shiming feel that Chu Qiu's loyalty was definitely up to standard.
Most importantly, Li Shi Min had an absolute power behind him that could crush a small fry like Chu Qiu into ashes.
As a 'marionette,' Chu Qiu had no choice but to be loyal!!
However, Chu Qiu knew that since ancient times, people like him had had extremely tragic endings.
After they were no longer useful, they would usually be killed by the monarch in front of him or even personally.
In order to avoid posing a threat to the future king.
It was not that Chu Qiu had not thought of escaping or resisting, but he had given up because of his lack of strength.
Fortunately, he activated the check-in system.
It allowed him to see a ray of hope that would end this dark life.
……
The check-in system. As long as the host completed the check-ins at different places, they would receive the corresponding rewards.
Even if one continuously signed in at a place, they could still obtain rewards.
All these years, Chu Qiu had only managed to walk out of this canyon and see the sun after replacing Li Shi Min for a dozen times.
But even so, he had completed quite a number of check-ins.
For example:
Sign in at the royal study. Reward: Emperor's Prestige Technique.
Sign in at the Armory. Reward: Soul Severing Saber Technique.
Sign in in front of the rockery in the imperial garden. Reward: Cao Shaoqin, the Duke of the East Chamber, and 3,000 East Chamber natives.
Help Li Shimin inspect the warehouse of the Ministry of Works and sign in front of a pile of machinery. Reward: Heavenly Craftsmanship.
The Ministry of Revenue signed in and rewarded him with crop seeds.
Receive the Goguryeon envoys for Li Shimin, watch the Hercules 'performance, and sign in. Reward: Overlord's Divine Power.
He inspected the army for Li Shi Min, signed in on horseback, and received 3,000 white-robed soldiers.
He checked the documents of the Ministry of Justice and signed in front of the prison of the Ministry of Justice. He received Shen Lian, the commander of the Jinyiwei, Yu Huatian, the supervisor of the West Factory, 3,000 Jinyiwei, and 3,000 West Factory guards.
You will be rewarded with a Longevity Pill that increases your lifespan by ten years.
……
And so on.
At present, Chu Qiu's strength was not only enough to make a tripod, but he also knew a few sets of peerless martial arts and obtained the skills to create all kinds of inventions. He also had 3,000 White Robed Army, 3,000 Embroidered Uniform Guards, and 3,000 West Factory Guards…
Their strength was limited in resisting Li Shi Min.
However, he wasn't Li Shiming's puppet anymore.
Chu Qiu knew that as a 'shadow', he knew too many secrets.
His final destination was to die under Li Shiming's blade.
Therefore, he was especially vigilant. As long as something went wrong, Chu Qiu would strike first.
This time, Li Shiming was bedridden from the poison arrow. Chu Qiu, who had been in hiding for ten years, finally had the chance to make a name for himself.
……
Chu Qiu looked at the motionless Li Shi Min on the couch.
Chu Qiu's originally calm expression deliberately revealed a hint of worry.
Li Shi Min struggled to turn his eyes to look at Chu Qiu.
" Chu Qing, this is the most difficult test for you and me. Cough cough…"
"I might need one to two months, or even longer, before I can return to normal. Let you go out and replace me, go to court, and handle government affairs. It's still the same as before, doing more things and talking less…"
"You need to summarize all the contents of the memorials outside and all the decisions you are prepared to make in advance and hand them over to the Empress. She will report to me and only execute them after I agree…"
"Yes."
Chu Qiu nodded silently.
"Cough cough! You are not allowed to take half a step into the palace where all the concubines live in the harem. The Empress will be fully responsible for everything that might happen in the harem during this one's absence. As for this one being unable to visit the concubines in the near future, this one will have an explanation later!”
"Yes."
Chu Qiu nodded.
"On your head…cough cough…"
Li Shi Min's eyes were rolling wildly, his face was filled with pain, as if he couldn't speak.
"There is always a sword hanging in the air." Chu Qiu helped him complete his sentence and said slowly,""This subject will always be Your Majesty's shadow. To be able to be loyal to Your Majesty is this subject's eternal glory. This subject will definitely sacrifice his life to repay the Emperor's kindness!”
Li Shi Min's eyes stopped moving, and a gratified expression appeared on his face.
"You can go out and see those ministers…"
Li Shi Min said.
