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

Chapter 1263 My Master's Wife Said I Was So Cute!
Nangong Lingxu, the man who controls firsthand information in the martial arts world and is known as the all-knowing expert of the martial arts world with his spy network spread throughout the streets and alleys, brought more than just the things Xia Fengxiang asked.

Along with this came detailed intelligence about the no-man's-land, as well as many issues concerning the Western Regions after they were trampled by Zhao Wuxu's iron cavalry.

The things that happened in the Three No-Man's Land were not what Su Chang'an and Xia Fengxiang knew.

Instead, they provided a detailed list of swordsmen heading there, along with the current state of the Bitter Cold Sect and the fact that several members were still on the run.

Asking for the list wasn't because Xia Fengxiang intended to do anything to them, but simply to have a general idea of ​​what to do with them.

These swordsmen were heading to the Three No-Man's Land, just like many others who had previously traveled to Yan.

This helps Yu Taohua, who plans to block the door.

It's just a matter of going to one's death.

However, two unexpected events occurred. One was the arrival of Yuan Ruxi, who had reached the final stage of cultivation. He charged into battle and killed two of the enemy's old monsters before the actual battle even began.

Another unexpected thing was that Yu Taohua's dog, despite having lived in seclusion in the martial arts world for several years, had actually become stronger rather than weaker. He fought against more than 600 martial arts practitioners by himself, and the opposing side had more than a dozen people. He became more and more courageous as the battle progressed.

Finally standing amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, still with that same dog-like appearance, he uttered, "I'm as handsome as my brothers, so don't fall for me, little girls. I'm married with two kids." This made everyone understand.
He said one person would guard the gate.

They can truly guard this national border.

He said he single-handedly surrounded that group of cult members.

He really was the only one who surrounded them.

And this dog is a damn sword saint.

The dog mentioned here is the one that Nangong Lingxu addressed directly to the Emperor and Empress.

But Yu Taohua paid the price by destroying her rusty iron sword and suffering many external injuries as well as some internal injuries.

But it didn't matter, because after settling Yuan Ruxi, Yu Taohua immediately went to Shu.

According to Nangong Lingxu, they should have arrived in Shu by now, and it's just a matter of when to join the old blind man and the others in their attack.

There is another matter concerning Yuan Ruxi.

Nangong Lingxu wanted the Empress's approval regarding Yuan Ruxi's matter. Should it be included in the Shuyalou article? If so, should it be written truthfully, or according to what many people thought?

After a moment of silence, Su Chang'an replied, "Let's wait for Mr. Suancai to wake up. For now, let's just assume that he made way for his disciple Suancai, as outsiders would think."

Yuan Ruxi was able to gain the approval of the Great Grandmother to entrust Wan'er to him, and he was respected by a group of senior figures such as the Old Celestial Master, the Old Sword Saint, and Master Longshi.

It was never because of what he did this time, but simply because he made way for his disciple.

Instead, he opened up a path for all swordsmen and martial arts, and made way for everyone. He did not monopolize this path; it was a path that Wan'er could walk, and that everyone in the world could walk.

The price was giving up an opportunity to reach the level of Yan Yunxiao, Yu Taohua, the Old Celestial Master, and the Old Sword Saint!

He even ruined himself as a result.

According to the old master, that kid has no chance of reaching the third level; he has too many things on his mind and can't get over them.

There's not much to say about what happened in the Western Regions.

After all, Zhao Wuxu handled it too cleanly.

It was a simple matter of those who obeyed prospering and those who defied perished; those who did not comply were met with cannon fire breaching the city gates and iron cavalry charging straight in.

Compared to the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong's reign in the Western Regions was equally impressive.

So nothing major happened.

In other words, something happened within the Zoroastrian Church. Those who remained at the Zoroastrian headquarters were indiscriminately slaughtered by several Grandmasters of the Great Xia Dynasty. Not only did many key members die, but even several Dharma Kings perished.

These people were none other than the old buddies that Luo Changfeng had called over.

Over the course of several months, these individuals visited six or seven times, and this time it was the biggest disturbance they caused.

According to Nangong Lingxu, Liu Fenggu's nephew, Liu Nuhai, was killed by a newly promoted Saint Son. All the other Saint Sons were also beheaded without exception. The Saint Maidens were spared, but one of them had a foul mouth, so Liu Nuhai also beheaded her. He also rescued several princesses and princes from the Western Regions who had been kidnapped as hostages.

Nangong Lingxu said with a smile that a princess seemed to have taken a fancy to Liu Nuhai, but Liu Nuhai tied her up and threw her onto the carriage back to the country.

They are currently on their way back.

They might run into Su Zifan, Zhao Huniu, and others who are escorting the spoils of war back on the way.

Xia Fengxiang was quite at ease about the situation in the Western Regions and didn't think too much about it. He trusted Zhao Wuxu just as much as he trusted Zong Ze and Du Yu in the northern desert.

The only place that felt uneasy was Sichuan.

It's easy to take over Shu now, and it's also easy to strip the Shu king of his military power, but it's too difficult to take it over without bloodshed or harming the people!
However, seeing that Nangong Lingxu mentioned the Western Regions...
Xia Fengxiang recalled that not long ago, Zhao Wuxu had secretly sent a memorial, saying that once the Zoroastrianism was dealt with in this battle, the troops could withdraw. He suggested that the Persians and the Abbasids should wait two years before he led his troops to fight them again. In particular, there was a Semitic people in the Abbasids, and the current Zoroastrianism incident was directly related to this people. Moreover, the internal power struggle in Persia was also related to this people.

Furthermore, Zhao Wuxu clearly wrote that this ethnic group frequently traveled along the Silk Road and by sea to trade with Daxia. They were able to cause trouble for the Abbasid Caliphate, Persia, and various Western Regions countries, so Daxia needed to make preparations as soon as possible.

Moreover, Zhao Wuxu made it clear that this was observed by Lu Xiufu, who was on the same list as Yan Shu, and after he sent people to investigate, it was indeed the case.

Xia Fengxiang had mentioned this to Su Chang'an.

When the Semitic people were mentioned, Su Chang'an immediately said something like, "Aren't those the Jews?"

Then Su Chang'an said, "Investigate, then kill him."

Su Chang'an rarely mentioned such matters, so Xia Fengxiang asked Shuyalou to investigate.

Naturally, he also inquired about Nangong Lingxu.

Nangong Lingxu presented a booklet, which recorded the Western Regions Merchant Guild where these Semitic peoples existed, as well as the locations of Semitic peoples who settled in various parts of Great Xia, and the trades they engaged in.

Most of them were in Dunhuang, Liuzhou, Sichuan, Lingnan, and coastal cities.

And just as Su Chang'an thought after learning about this, most of them were in business, and the vast majority of the money in the booklet was made in a very dirty way.

After reviewing the document, Su Chang'an instructed Nangong Lingxu: "Investigate thoroughly, make the matter public, and immediately notify the Shence Prefecture. Either kill them or expel them. Great Xia is tolerant, but that doesn't include them."

Xia Fengxiang didn't speak, but looking at Su Chang'an, he already knew how to respond to Zhao Wuxu.

I, as a man, rarely do these things, but if I do, I'm not wrong.

In particular, Xia Fengxiang was very interested in what the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce had been doing, especially after the downfall of the Ouyang family and others. He noticed that these people had started to take over the businesses that the Ouyang family and other powerful families had previously run. They were also involved in trading grains, sugarcane, and other goods under the guise of porcelain and tea, and there was the constant influx of people settling there.

This is very interesting.

But this matter is not urgent; Zhao Wuxu also needs to rest and recuperate.

Nangong Lingxu had too many things to report.

I arrived at noon.

It was already dusk when we left.

Once outside the palace gates, Nangong Lingxu finally breathed a deep sigh of relief.

The main reason is that Nangong Lingxu came here this time was to be scolded.

After all, it's about the Bitter Cold Sect, or the Wuping Town, or the remnants of Raojiang infiltrating the capital.

Even if His Majesty has his own spies, the Shuya Tower, which claims to know everything under the heavens, only learns about these things after they have already happened.

Even these things put the Empress in danger.

He failed to do his job properly, so it's only natural that he got scolded.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty did not mention it at all, and even before leaving, the Empress gave him some braised offal to eat.

I'm ashamed.
When leaving the palace, Yan Yunxiao was still with him, but as soon as they stepped out of the palace gate, Nangong Lingxu turned back to look at Yan Yunxiao.

But then he noticed the way Yan Yunxiao was looking at him.

He immediately took a step back: "What are you doing? I'm not good with violence!"

Yan Yunxiao smirked: "It's nothing. I wasn't here last time you came. You were busy this time, so I didn't have time to ask you something."

Nangong Lingxu glanced at the disciple running towards him, then looked at Yan Yunxiao: "You should have asked earlier. You're acting like you're going to attack me. Don't you know I'm too old to be scared?"

Yan Yunxiao asked, "Why is my daughter ranked nineteenth?"

Nangong Lingxu was stunned for a moment, thinking something was wrong!
Nangong Lingxu looked at Yan Yunxiao: "Yan Ruyu was able to go up because she is naturally beautiful. Is there any need to ask?"

Yan Yunxiao looked at Nangong Lingxu: "That girl, is she pretty?"

Nangong Lingxu pouted and looked at Yan Yunxiao. What kind of mother is she! She even thinks her daughter isn't pretty?
Yan Yunxiao continued to frown: "The Empress and His Majesty said she's gained weight, gained weight?"

Nangong Lingxu looked at Yan Yunxiao: "Yan Yunxiao, don't think that just because I can't beat you, you can talk to me like that. Don't you know your own daughter? Whether she's fat or not, let me see her first!"

Yan Yunxiao smiled gently: "Remember to tell that girl after you've finished reading it."

After saying this, Yan Yunxiao turned and left.

Nangong Lingxu was confused, but seeing the evil star leave, he breathed a sigh of relief. More than ten years ago, this evil star suddenly came to Shuya Tower and didn't destroy it. He was really traumatized.

Seeing Yan Yunxiao leave, Nangong Lingxu turned back to look at his little grand-disciple.

He only ran over after he saw the brat standing still, watching Yan Yunxiao walk into Chengtian Gate.

Nangong Lingxu cursed loudly, "You bastard!"

This young grand-disciple is considered to have decent talent in Shuyalou. Before he even turned thirty, he already possessed the strength of a ninth-rank disciple. Although he couldn't compare to those on the Mountain Peak Ranking, it was still quite impressive, considering that Shuyalou wasn't a place where martial prowess was paramount.

The young man named Tu Nan looked at Nangong Lingxu and said, "I thought the Grand Commander was going to make a move against you."

Nangong Lingxu was furious. "You knew they were going to make a move, so why didn't you come up and stop them?"

Upon hearing this, Tu Nan chuckled lightly: "Master is just joking. Should I stop you?"

Nangong Lingxu raised his hand.

Tu Nan immediately dodged: "It's better to just hit you than for the two of us to get hit together."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Lingxu became even angrier and kicked out.

However, Tu Nan seemed used to it, and followed with a grin, then looked at his advisor: "Advisor, what does the Empress look like? Have you seen her?"

Nangong Lingxu retorted, "Nonsense! How could I not see the Empress?"

After saying that, Nangong Lingxu thought of the Empress's appearance, hesitated for a moment, and then laughed, "It's hard to say, but the appearance you care about is a hundred times better than the paintings by the painters in our building."

Tu Nan's eyes widened immediately: "No wonder the white mist drove him crazy and he still couldn't draw it."

Nangong Lingxu waved his hand: "It's not appropriate to speak ill of a sage. Let's stop here. We'll be staying in the capital for a while. If you're lucky, you might be able to see him. But where's your junior sister? Did she run off again?"

Tu Nan laughed and said, "They said they went to find Wu Dameng."

After saying that, Tu Nan said, "Master, although it seems that many people know that Wu Dameng has become the Empress's disciple, in reality, it is only among the senior figures and some ministers in the court. The news has not really spread yet. Even my junior sister doesn't know. Should we spread this news?"

Nangong Lingxu shook his head: "Don't go out unless instructed to do so. Don't cause trouble. But I do need to meet Suancai and Wu Dameng in person. However, I'll go find Luo Changfeng now."

Tu Nan was taken aback: "What do you want to do by going to Senior Luo? You haven't offended the Empress, so you want to ask Senior Luo for help, have you?"

Nangong Lingxu kicked him out: "You dog, I hope your master does well! I was just scared by Yan Yunxiao, I need to read a couple of erotic books to calm my nerves, and then talk to Luo Changfeng about the Empress, to ask her what she really meant. If she really meant that, I need to write it down right away."

Tu Nan was completely confused and didn't understand what was being written.
……

Inside a restaurant not far from the Su residence.

Wu Dameng was indulging in a feast.

Sitting directly opposite Wu Dameng was a round-faced girl in red, with two short swords crossed at her waist. Her short hair gave her a spirited look. As she watched Wu Dameng eat, she said, "Every time I see you, you act like you haven't eaten. Has the Su family mistreated you?"

Wu Dameng shook her head: "No, sister, my master's wife is very good to me! Especially, especially good! And I'm so cute, who would be bad to me?"

The little girl's surname is also Wu, and her name is Wu Juanzi. She is Wu Dameng's cousin.

From a young age, Wu Qinhu sent him to Shuya Tower to learn martial arts, saying that it was more suitable for that place than for the Beast Forest.

Wu Juanzi reached out and wiped Wu Dameng's mouth: "I heard from Third Uncle that you haven't been to his and Fifth Aunt's place yet?"

Wu Dameng shook her head: "No, I've been there before, but I always get delayed halfway there, so I haven't been able to go. I've been busy these past few days, but I'll go as soon as I'm ready!"

Wu Juanzi laughed and said, "It wasn't a big deal that I went. I got a lecture from my fifth aunt after I went, which was really annoying."

Wu Dameng swallowed the chicken leg in one gulp: "Sister, that's because you're not cute. I'm so cute that even Auntie can't bear to scold me."

Wu Juanzi frowned and scolded, "You brat! Why don't you mention that you were beaten to tears by that pickled cabbage? And this time I'm here to stand up for you!"

Wu Dameng paused for a moment, then immediately said, "You can't beat her."

Snapped!
Wu Juanzi slammed her hand on the table.

Seeing that everyone around him was looking over, he timidly sat down again, then looked at Wu Dameng and said, "Me, a dignified seventh-rank swordsman! Can't even beat a little girl?"

Wu Dameng immediately said, "She is also a seventh-rank swordsman, and she is very good to me. So what if I make her cry? She has made many people cry. I am considered lucky."

Wu Juanzi was taken aback: "Isn't she a fifth-rank official?"

Wu Dameng said, "Seventh rank!"

Wu Juanzi pouted: "Then I'll go beat her up when I'm at the eighth rank!"

Wu Dameng glanced at his older sister and sighed. She's always been like this, bullying the weak and fearing the strong. It's really worrying about her future. It's giving me a headache.

But Wu Juanzi looked at Wu Dameng and said, "However, you keep saying you're cute. You're such a grown-up, why are you still so narcissistic? There are plenty of cute girls in Beijing!"

Wu Dameng was displeased and immediately glared at her: "Even my teacher's wife says I'm cute."

Wu Juanzi was immediately taken aback. The eldest wife of the Su family?
So he immediately said, "Your master's wife is just trying to make you happy!"

She added, "And how can you lie to a child? I'll have a serious talk with your master's wife later! I'll ask her face to face!"

Wu Dameng immediately retorted, "No, that's not it! My master's wife said I'm especially cute, and I think I'm cute too, otherwise why would everyone like me! You're just jealous! Besides..."

At this point, Wu Dameng glanced at Wu Juanzi's chest and immediately said, "Auntie said you're flat-chested and don't look like a girl at all. She told me to eat more so I won't look like you!"
