I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 1204 Your Majesty the Empress: You've quietly climbed to this level?

Lian Xinglan actually knew that the Empress would come to the Su residence today, since he lived there and would always discuss literature and scholarship with Su Zimu whenever he had free time. He would use swordsmanship as a starting point, and Su Zimu would break it down.

The two seemed like old friends who had met too late, and this was always the case, which made Wu He a little jealous.

However, Lian Xinglan must attend the Yue Prince's Mansion today; otherwise, he would definitely stay at the Su Mansion to consult with Su Chang'an about some artistic conceptions and ask the old sword saint for advice. He must make all the necessary preparations.

With his son Lian Qiao and his two apprentices Yu Jin and Xia Ke, Lian Xinglan first went to a winery called "Wine Flower Ferry". With such a name, it was naturally not lacking in fine wines and immortal brews. But to be honest, the storefront was very small, but it had a great reputation in the capital. Moreover, you could smell the aroma of wine as soon as you got close.

After buying the wine, Lian Xinglan first delivered it to Grandpa Luo.

The two apprentices had been here for a few days and had already met with Grandpa Luo. Today was the second time they were introduced to each other again. There was also a selfish reason behind this: Grandpa Luo wanted to share his thoughts on the state of mind with his apprentice, Yu Jin.

Luo Changfeng didn't care about any of that. He just felt that the world was peaceful, the mountains and rivers were green, the city was bustling, and he could enjoy drinking with old and new friends. It was just a casual chat anyway.

But not today.

After a brief chat with Grandpa Luo, Lian Xinglan led the three of them to the Yue Prince's Mansion.

Lian Xinglan often visits the Yue Prince's Mansion, but today's visit is slightly different. After all, today is a bit formal, and the people who came are not as casual as usual. Impressive.

"Xinglan is here, come in quickly, they're all inside."

Led by the steward of the Yue King's Mansion, they walked along a winding corridor to a large courtyard. Inside, the Old Celestial Master, the Old Sword Saint, and others sat, as did Master Longshi, whose face was bruised and swollen.

They are all senior figures, but the current leaders of each sect are nowhere to be seen.

These are the disciples and followers of these individuals.

Lian Xinglan smiled and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

The three people behind Lianqiao quickly greeted him.

Especially when Ke Xia heard Lian Qiao explain the identity of the newcomer, she was so frightened that she pursed her lips and forgot how to clasp her hands in greeting.

Good heavens, this courtyard is full of legends from the older generation! I've seen living people here!
The old swordsman looked at Ke Xia and said, "This girl is quite interesting. She can't compare to Lian Wei, but she's a promising talent."

Lian Xinglan smiled and then turned and walked into the main hall of the courtyard.

Lianqiao and the other two followed behind.

But as soon as they reached the entrance of the main hall, Lian Qiao's expression froze, and he suddenly understood why his father had come to the Dali Temple to find him today, and why he said that he wanted to participate in something today.

Looking around
All the top-tier sects in the martial arts world, as long as they reach the capital, all the leaders are there!

Even if they are not the heads of their respective sects, they still have a voice within their sects.

Seated at the very top was none other than Qing Shuang, the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain. Standing beside him was Lian Qiao, whom he also recognized. He was also known as Daoist Chenxin, the ancestor of King Xia of Yue. Next to him were Master Baoxian of Yulong Temple, Li Shangwang of Yuanyin Sect, Mi Gangfeng of Heluo Mountain, Liu Qianlei, the eldest of the brothers from Liuyue Village, and Wu Jue and Wu Huaisu from Beast Forest. In addition, there were Qing Shu, Ouhua, and Qing Lian from Luoying Mountain, the couple She Wang and Li Cai from Duanbing Mountain, and many other sects.

Even those familiar with Qiao numbered a dozen or so sects, and there were several others whose origins were unknown.

Without exception, they were all people in charge.

The senior figures outside the courtyard, and the leaders of various factions within the courtyard.

It is clear that today's meeting is a dialogue between various sects, rather than a casual chat as usual.

Xia subconsciously rubbed her hands together. Her master said it was just a place for the younger generation to get to know each other, so why were there so many seniors? And they all looked so fierce. She should have gone with her master's wife to experience the banquets of the nobles in the capital!
Qing Shuang nodded slightly to Lian Xinglan, then said loudly, "Now that everyone is here, I'll get straight to the point. Everyone, during your time in the capital, please make sure your disciples don't cause trouble. If they do, not only will the government come after you, but I will also come to your door."

The words were simple, but direct enough.

This is roughly how the top leaders of all Taoist sects in the world earned their titles.

There are people you can't beat, one inside the house, a few outside, and besides that, there aren't many in the world.

Ku Yue was holding a large steamed bun. With her size, she could sit cross-legged on this big chair.

Upon hearing Qing Shuang's words, Ku Yue poked Feng Xu, the lord of Feng Lai Manor from Yuzhou, who was once one of the top ten candidates in the world, but was later squeezed out and has not made a move in recent years, so his strength is unknown.

But there were six disciples standing behind him, the most of any person present.

Seeing Kuyue's reaction, Feng Xu chuckled, "Sister Kuyue, please stop teasing me."

Snapped!
But Ku Yue jumped up and slapped Feng Xu on the back of the head: "Call me 'Sa'! Take a piss and look at yourself! Call me 'Big Sister' and I'm your sister! Bah! I'm still young!"

Qing Shuang glanced at Ku Yue and remained silent.

The one we can't beat inside is this guy.

This person has an even worse temper than me.

Seeing this, the disciples of Fenglai Manor behind Feng Xu wanted to step forward, but they kept silent, remembering their master's repeated instructions.

Feng Xu scratched the back of his head and looked at Ku Yue: "What should we call it?"

Ku Yue said, "Call her Chan Nu or Ku Yue."

Feng Xu curled his lip. "At such an old age, still acting like a little girl, have you no shame?"
She Yue was used to seeing her master like this, but looking at these sects, she couldn't help but sigh. If she had known she was coming to a place like this, she should have gone to the Su residence with the Empress.

In the courtyard outside, the old celestial master and the others saw the crying moon and shook their heads with smiles, but no one spoke.

Yunxiao isn't here, and this little girl is like this.

The group in the courtyard are all retired; they don't need to say anything about the affairs of this generation.

Every generation has its own leader of the Shedaomen (a type of martial arts sect).

Liu Qianlei, the eldest master of Liuyue Village, is a ninth-rank cultivator, but he hasn't reached the limit yet. He shouldn't be qualified to participate today, but Fifth Master Liu Fenggu is still on his way to the capital, and Grandfather Liu Huangwu is still forging a sword and doesn't care about these things, so only he can come.

Liu Qianlei said, "Master, let's get straight to the second thing."

Bao Xian smiled and said, "The second thing I want to talk about is that you all have your own conflicts, whether they are between you or with those unaffiliated people who came to the capital. Keep them to yourselves. At least in the capital, please don't cause any trouble. My Emperor and Empress have enough troubles already. Every little thing less is better. Otherwise, this humble monk will have to break his vow of celibacy."

When Bao Xian stood up, he put his hands together and looked at everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Bao Xian.

Sitting in the lower seat, Wei Hao, the instructor of the Four Seas Whale Riders from the Jiaozhou sea area, looked at Bao Xian: "Brother Yan, what if those rogues want to cause trouble? Recently, some people have started to take on noble families in the capital as disciples to build relationships."

Bao Xian looked at Wei Hao: "Instructor Wei, if you don't cause trouble, then there's nothing to worry about. I was talking about the troublemaker." "Alright! Then I won't kill him." Wei Hao nodded, but immediately added: "However, Brother Yan, I've only been in the capital for two days, and I'd like to ask if I can see my sister-in-law and the Empress."

Bao Xian smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law has been in a bad mood these past few days, so it's best not to see her. As for the Empress, I'm not sure about that."

As she spoke, Baoxian pointed at Kuyue: "Ask her."

Kuyue uttered a soft "Hmm?" and looked at Weihao.

Wei Hao glanced at Ku Yue, then remained silent.

I don't want to talk to Kuyue.

He hates her!

Luo Yingshan, having replaced her master who had announced his retirement from the martial world, and Qing Shu, who was designated as the next mountain lord, said softly, "Since we are in the capital, we must naturally abide by the rules of the capital. Today, because there are more and more people, and more small matters have arisen, Senior Yan and the Celestial Master summoned us here. We will naturally follow the rules of the capital. However, I would like to ask, what should we do about the whereabouts of those senior hermits?"

Standing behind Qing Shu were Qing Lian, Ou Hua, and several other female disciples. Most importantly, Li Xing Yue was also there.

However, Li Xingyue, like a curious child, looked around and occasionally met She Yue's gaze. She gently bit her lip, indicating that she wanted to leave!

Sheyue nodded earnestly, indicating that she also wanted to leave!

Bao Xian said, "The idle Jianghu people in the capital who have some strength have been notified by the Thirteen Valiant Guards and the Shence Mansion. As for the children, they won't be notified. They've only caused minor trouble, and the Zhuodaolang (a martial arts instructor) is there to handle it."

After saying that, Bao Xian looked at everyone and said, "Actually, what I wanted to tell you today is to not cause any trouble. After all, not long ago, the traitors from Raojiang attempted to assassinate Prince An and Princess An. We need to keep an eye on each other. Moreover, the rebellion of the Gu Immortal Sect in Raojiang has caused quite a stir. More than ten villages have rebelled, and the old poison master has killed a lot of people. There may be remnants who have colluded with other people with bad intentions in the capital. So I spoke a bit domineeringly to the Celestial Master just now. Please forgive me."

Bao Xian clasped her hands together, then looked up and said, "In short, I don't want the people of the capital to be disturbed, and I don't want His Majesty and the Empress to be troubled by these matters."

Everyone stood up and clasped their hands in a fist salute to Bao Xian.

Once you arrive in the capital, it's best not to cause trouble; that's a tacit rule.

But if there are too many people, even if you don't cause trouble, trouble will come knocking on your door.

So, after hearing this, everyone understands that this is the court sending the Asura of the Thirteen Guards on the Left and Right, and the Celestial Master standing in front of Prince Yue, to convey a message: don't cause trouble.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Shangwang of the Yuanyin Sect said, "Let's resolve this conflict on the arena. But I'm thinking, what if someone with stronger skills goes to a weaker arena to fight? How do we explain that?"

"Just kill them." Fifth Shuang stepped in with one foot, speaking lightly with a smile on his face.

Upon seeing the Fifth Pair enter, the members of Daoxia Island and Huadaowu immediately stood up.

Li Xingyue looked at this kind-looking uncle. To be honest, when she came to the Yue Prince's Mansion with these senior sisters, this uncle had been chatting with her.

结果
How can you keep talking about murder?

And this is the agenda.

Li Xingyue was curious because she heard that the major martial arts sects were sitting down to discuss a martial arts competition. She also thought about participating and then telling Qingning about it, since Qingning really liked these kinds of things.

But
Why do these people always talk about murder?

They have no regard for the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty!
Seeing the expression on Li Xingyue's face, Qinglian smiled gently and said, "It's nothing."

Li Xingyue nodded.

At this moment, Li Xingyue saw that all the kind-looking elderly people outside the door had entered the lobby.

Bao Xian smiled and said, "Her Majesty said that the imperial court will help with the construction of the arena and other matters. As for how to do it, just follow the rules of the martial arts world."

Mi Gangfeng stood up and said, "If you bully the weak, or try to hide your strength and bully someone in a weaker arena to win prizes, you're dead! If you're capable, try to escape from us old folks. That's impressive. The rules don't restrict those with ability, but if you're not capable, then follow the rules."

From the moment the Celestial Master and his entourage entered the hall, everyone stood up.

When Mi Gangfeng's grandson, Mi Anzai, watched these most senior elders walk into the hall, he felt a sense of suffocation. This suffocation came from the gentle and kind-looking elders.

Moreover, not only Mi An was there, but also Lian Qiao, Yu Jin, Ke Xia, and all the other young people standing there, including Li Changtiao, felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Looking at those senior figures, I inexplicably dared not look at them.

Even the leaders of various sects bowed and greeted each other, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression.

These bits.
They look kind, but each of them has taken dozens or even hundreds of lives on their shoulders. They are people who came out of the most chaotic era of the martial arts world.

"This martial arts competition was initiated by us old men, so we've come in to chat. Does everyone have any objections?" The old master smiled and looked at everyone.

"Ok?"

However, just after the old master finished speaking, the most carefree and also the most eccentric Kuyue suddenly stood up from her chair, sniffing the air as she stood up.

"What are you doing, holding a martial arts tournament? Can I participate?"

But as everyone watched Kuyue's sudden action with curiosity, wondering if this eccentric old woman had started again, everyone's expression froze.

Because someone had somehow appeared inside the house.

It suddenly appeared in full view of everyone.

Feng Xu and the others were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. There was no aura, no sensation, yet the person was right in front of them.

"No wonder it smells so good, just like the food made by the chef at the Su family's mansion! Did you bring me some?"

With a snap, Kuyue pounced on Su Chang'an.

Su Chang'an pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket, with a little oil stain on it, and looked down at Ku Yue: "I didn't bring you any dishes, but I brought a menu, and it's a little oily. Smell it and see if it smells good."

Having said that, he raised his hand to remove the veil and looked at Liu Xuer with a chuckle. But before he could speak, he saw Li Xingyue standing behind him and Su Chang'an's expression froze: "You've secretly managed to get into a martial arts tournament of this caliber? No wonder you're my sister!"

Li Xingyue looked embarrassed, glancing left and right, wishing she could disappear into the ground. Sister Chang'an was acting like this again.

Liu Xuer gently patted Su Chang'an's hand, "Don't tease Xingyue."

"Greetings, Your Highness." Bao Xian and the others looked at Su Chang'an and bowed.
