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

Chapter 1308 Empress: You still have to listen to your wife!
The martial arts demonstration took place in that open space outside the city.

This open space was originally intended to be the site of the Xiongquwei, the guards stationed to protect the capital.

This was also the main reason why Li Nishang, Yang Guofu, and Xia Chenfeng competed for the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards.

After all, a military camp with a strength of three thousand men was stationed just ten miles outside the capital, under the command of the Imperial Guard Commander. Which power-hungry person wouldn't want to get their hands on it?

But later, Li Nishang got into trouble, Xia Chenfeng went into seclusion, and Yang Guofu also disappeared.

After a while, the matter was put on hold.

Xia Fengxiang had no intention of setting up another Xiongqu Guard, so the vacant land was left unused.

Unexpectedly, it was used to build an arena for this martial arts competition.

The place was so large that after the four large arenas were built, Tian Gui, the Vice Minister of Works, saw how big the place was and asked Li Jiulang, Zhang Gu and others to come and discuss whether they should build a commercial street or something similar.

After all, the investment promotion that the Empress organized this time raised a lot of money. Besides the tangible silver, gold, and prizes, there was still some left over.

So the three of them put their heads together and then consulted with the old master and other senior figures who had initiated this conference.

They immediately built those stalls.

It allows local residents to set up stalls, allows people from the underworld to do business, and most importantly, allows investors to advertise here.

The best of both worlds.

After all, people in the martial arts world are generous, so snacks and drinks are a must.

However, because of this, after consulting with Su Chang'an, Li Jiulang specifically asked Wu Xingba, the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Qi Qiuqing, the deputy commander of the Chixia Army, to send some people to maintain order.

They secretly hired Qi Pei's ghostwriter to keep an eye on things. They weren't worried about anyone deliberately causing trouble, but they were afraid that someone might get drunk and act crazy, ruining everyone's fun.

Therefore, this event was of a large scale.
Unprecedented!

Even those seasoned veterans who pride themselves on having participated in countless martial arts tournaments, large and small, are no match for that grand principle.
Looking at the wooden stalls lining both sides, the huge arena in the distance, and the sea of ​​people, I gasped.

For no reason at all, someone said, "What is this?"

Lian Xinglan.
This swordsman, destined to be included in the next update of the Book Pavilion rankings, is now the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Pavilion, whose sword energy is now restrained and whose sword intent is nowhere to be seen.

There's also his wife, a ninth-rank swordsman with the strength of a former disciple of the Medicine Immortal Valley. But it's clear to anyone with eyes that she's probably already reached the limit; it just depends on whether she's willing to overcome that inner demon trap.

In addition, there was an old Taoist priest by his side, Huo De Zhenren, the current grandmaster of Haoyang Mountain. He looked unorthodox, but his killing power was extremely high, especially his ability to read people by observing their aura, which was truly remarkable.

Finally, there was a middle-aged female swordsman named Lu Liuyun. She had only recently entered the final stage of swordsmanship, and her sword intent was still strong, exuding a powerful and imposing aura.

She comes from a third-rate sect called Qingping Sword Sect in Shu, but with someone like her, it's no surprise that they'll soon be promoted to second-rate, or even first-rate.

Lian Xinglan was not surprised that Lu Liuyun was able to reach the End Realm.

Just as the Old Celestial Master and the Fire Virtue Master said, the martial fortune of a Grandmaster of the Ultimate Realm is limited; for every one who dies, another will surely rise to prominence.

It all depends on how many die and how many become.

Whether it was the battle in the northern deserts or in the western regions, the death toll was endless.

It was as if the number of people who died in the martial arts world over the past ten years or so had reached the limit in just over a year.

It is precisely because of this that the end has become much clearer.

Conversely, even more people actually died.

Seeing this, Lu Liuyun couldn't help but say, "I really didn't expect this event to go to such lengths."

Master Huode squinted at a little child in the crowd: "There are quite a few talented children here. Lu girl, didn't you come here this time to take on more disciples and make your Qingping Sword Sect bigger and stronger? You'd better keep your eyes open."

After bowing to Master Huode, Lu Liuyun said, "Thank you, senior. Although I have this selfish reason for coming to the capital, my real purpose is to meet the Sword Immortal and Her Majesty the Empress."

Master Huode raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice: "I heard that Yu Taohua stole your undergarment back then?"

Lian Xinglan coughed and immediately turned her head away.

Wu He glared at Lian Xinglan.

Isn't it obvious that this was said by her own husband?

Lu Liuyun smiled calmly: "That happened so many years ago. He's married and has children now, it's all in the past. But this time, I heard that An Miao'er from Miaoyinfang is here too."

Wu He chuckled and looked at Lian Xinglan, "Your lover is here too. Why didn't you tell me?"

Lian Xinglan immediately showed a flustered expression: "Madam, Miao'er and I are fine, you know that."

Seeing this, Huo De Zhenren gave Lu Liuyun a thumbs up.

Lu Liuyun smiled gently.

He then turned to his disciples and said, "You should all go and prepare yourselves. Remember not to cause trouble."

The disciples immediately bowed to their master and the other seniors before leaving.

However, just as Lu Liuyun turned around to ask Huo De Zhenren about other matters, her gaze caught sight of a woman wearing a mask and carrying a long spear.

Just by looking at them, you can tell that they are both newly promoted to the highest level, just like yourself.

Looking at this person, Lu Liuyun turned to Huode Zhenren: "After I arrived in the capital, I heard that Her Majesty the Empress likes to travel incognito with her face covered. Wherever there is trouble, she will definitely appear. I wonder if Her Majesty will come here today."

Upon hearing this, Master Huode pursed his lips and said, "It's hard to say, and if he really wants to hide, we won't be able to find him. But there's one thing: if you see someone who has no aura at all, who is more ordinary than an ordinary person, and who is accompanied by a little girl, Lu Yatou, be very polite to him."

However, despite saying that, Master Huode's gaze was fixed on the woman with the high ponytail and the long spear on her back. Another newly promoted cultivator, but who was she, without any sect or faction? She was using a long spear, but her foundation was incredibly solid, and her strength was not bad.

Lu Liuyun, being naturally carefree, said with a smile, "Of course I wouldn't do what Liu Fenggu and the others did. On the contrary, my disciples admire the Empress very much, especially her title of the best in the world. They all want to behold her. They also envy her story with the Emperor."

The Su Chang'an mentioned by people in the martial arts world is no less than the former sword immortal Li Yunxian, and his benevolent demeanor is comparable to that of Su Qichi.

Most importantly, he is young and good-looking, extremely capable, and also devoted and single-minded in love.

How could the young girls not be tempted after hearing that?

Being devoted to someone is the greatest romance in the world.

Lian Xinglan interjected at this moment: "If your disciples really saw the Empress's appearance, they would definitely be so nervous that they wouldn't be able to speak. The Empress wouldn't say much either. After a few polite words, they would be speechless and disperse. They would then regret meeting her in embarrassment."

Lu Liuyun looked at Lian Xinglan: "Ke Xia?"

Lian Xinglan nodded.

My little apprentice, ever since the first time he saw the Empress and that thing happened between them, now blushes and hides somewhere whenever the Empress is mentioned.

However, Master Huode sighed, "It's better not to see him. If we do, it will only cause us elders a lot of worry."

As he spoke, Huo De Zhenren walked forward.

Lu Liuyun looked at Huo De Zhenren's back with some confusion.

Lian Xinglan smiled helplessly. She had heard the Old Celestial Master mention the disciple from Haoyang Mountain who had actually mastered the Six Lines Divination Technique.

This was a deep-seated worry for Huo De Zhenren.

Because of this past experience, Lian Xinglan has always avoided letting Banxia meet with the Empress again.

In short, the charm was too great, and as time went by, it became a distant liking. I'm not afraid of being rejected if I confess my feelings, but I'm afraid of this distant liking hidden in my heart.

Wu He then spotted Su Linhan in the distance and gestured to Lian Xinglan.

Lian Xinglan laughed and said, "What are we going to do when the children are with each other?"

Wu He glared at Lian Xinglan. No wonder Lin Han was a little reserved when she saw you.

Su Linhan came with Gu Chiyu.

But right now, I've run into Qi Pei.

Qi Pei was dressed in loose clothes as always, exposing his shoulders, with a short sword hanging horizontally behind his waist and a long sword hanging on one side.

Beside her, Qu Youwei, also wearing a mask, smiled and bowed to Su Linhan and Gu Chiyu.

"Where's Cui Yu'er? Did she bring Di Renjie and the others?" Qi Pei asked Gu Chiyu.

Gu Chiyu laughed and said, "Yu'er was seconded to the Court of State Ceremonial because she is good at the languages ​​of the Western Regions. Di Renjie and the others are taking lessons with Grandpa. I don't know how long they can continue. Anyway, I'm really itching to come here."

Looking at Gu Chiyu's energetic demeanor, Qi Pei said, "Having a man makes all the difference; even the way you talk changes." Upon hearing this, Gu Chiyu immediately looked at Qi Pei, ready to say something harsh.

But seeing Qi Pei's eyes, he swallowed his words. Back when he was studying at Baima Academy, Qi Pei was a tyrant, the kind who really went all out.

Qu Youwei and Su Linhan couldn't help but laugh.

Qi Pei looked around and asked Gu Chiyu, "Where's your man?"

Gu Chiyu glared at Qi Pei: "Can't you speak properly? Just because you're an official doesn't mean you're all that. I'm an official too!"

Qi Pei laughed and said, "My rank is higher than yours."

Gu Chiyu was speechless for a moment, then turned his head away from Qi Pei: "The person who went to study in Japan said he might arrive today. He has a good friend with him, and he and Zuo Shaoweng went to wait for him."

Qi Pei said "Oh," and then added, "So you can't do it either? I left you here and went to find your friends. Should I find some people to teach you?"

Gu Chiyu looked at Qi Pei: "Qi Pei, don't think I can't beat you! Don't forget that I have a good relationship with Lian Wei!"

Qi Pei couldn't help but smile, and stopped teasing him. He said with a smile, "I'm not kidding you anymore. But I heard that your old man doesn't agree now? Wasn't he clamoring for Yan Shu to agree before?"

Gu Chiyu said, "That's just Grandpa's personality, don't pay him any mind. But you...did you participate in the martial arts competition?"

Qi Pei shook his head: "My skills are just for show. I'd only embarrass myself if I went up there. I'm afraid some people here might get drunk and cause trouble, so I brought my brothers here to keep an eye on things."

At this point, Qi Pei looked at Su Linhan: "Your Majesty, perhaps you will come disguised?"

Qu Youwei bit her lip and looked up at Su Linhan with a hopeful expression.

Su Linhan shook her head: "I don't know. Eldest sister is very free-spirited. She doesn't tell anyone about many things and does whatever comes to mind. Perhaps she will come to such a grand occasion as today?"

Qu Youwei lowered her head and sighed.

Qi Pei's eyes flashed with disappointment, but just as he was about to speak, he noticed a small stall to the side.

It's a peach shortbread stall.

A female warrior carrying a long spear and wearing a mask is in front.

The shop owner looked at the female knight-errant in front of him, both amused and exasperated: "Oh my, female knight-errant, your jewelry is quite something. It's enough to buy me, let alone the peach cakes. You only took two peach cakes and you want to use this? Why don't you just take it? It's such a good day. You forgot to bring any money with you. You're not trying to rob an old man on purpose."

A female warrior wearing a mask.
It was actually Su Chang'an.

Hearing what the boss said, I felt a pang of anxiety. I left in such a hurry that I forgot about the money.

After all, I don't usually carry money when I go out, and I only remembered this when I was about to pay.

However, looking at the shop owner's expression, Su Chang'an said, "In that case, I won't take it. I'm sorry to disturb your business."

As they were talking, they were about to put the peach shortbread back.

But at this time...
"I've given it to you." Qi Pei walked up to Su Chang'an, holding a few coins in his hand, and handed them to the shopkeeper.

Then he looked at Su Chang'an and said, "Young lady, it's just a matter of a few coins, there's no need to say more. Besides, your headdress is indeed precious. It's fate that we met today."

Su Chang'an looked at Qi Pei.

Actually, I just saw Qi Pei and Lin Han here.

Before we change it, we absolutely have to call Linhan over to pay.

But this is something that can't be known by others.

So they stopped calling it.

However, seeing that Qi Pei had acted righteously and that the money had already reached the shop owner, Su Chang'an didn't stand on ceremony. He looked at Qi Pei, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "I am Liu Su. I will have someone deliver the money to Boss Qi later."

Qi Pei was taken aback and looked at Su Chang'an: "Miss Liu, do you know me?"

Su Chang'an said, "I've heard of the leader of the 'Catching Swordsman' gang."

After saying that, Su Chang'an didn't say anything more. He took the peach shortbread, bowed to Qi Pei, and said that he was going to go and check on the other side because he was going to participate in the competition later.

And so I took my leave.

Qi Pei didn't mince words; it was just a matter of a few coins, nothing to worry about.

Looking at this girl, Qi Pei found her straightforward and wanted to get to know her.

Su Linhan looked at Su Chang'an walking past her, her expression puzzled for a moment, and then she looked at Su Chang'an.

big sister?
Can.
A quick glance.

Not an older sister.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chiyu asked when he noticed Su Linhan's unusual behavior.

Su Linhan shook her head: "I mistook that female knight-errant for my older sister."

Qi Pei stepped forward and said, "It's not Your Highness."

Su Linhan nodded.

Qi Pei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it's very flat."

Then, looking at Gu Chiyu, she said, "They're even flatter than you. And that one's is bigger than Lin Han's."

Gu Chiyu saw Qi Pei pointing to his own chest, and then looking at Su Linhan's chest.

He immediately looked at Qi Pei, his anger showing: "Fourth Brother Qi! Do you believe I'll fight you to the death!"

Su Chang'an heard the commotion behind him.

how to say
There were quite a few acquaintances; I had only walked a few steps when I saw more acquaintances ahead of me.

Liu Fenggu, Gongsun Chunu, Feng Jingtang, Bai Danrong, and one other person.

The person was a woman, extremely beautiful, gentle and refined, and appeared even more elegant than Lin Han.

Her name is An Miao'er. She is an elder of Miaoyin Palace and the one who accepted Yan Qi as a disciple on behalf of her master. By all accounts, Su Chang'an should call her Uncle An.

However, it is worth mentioning that Su Chang'an saw white vapor.

Bai Qi looked pale and listless, and he was wearing a straw hat, so he looked like he hadn't been out for a very long time.

As far as Su Chang'an knew, Bai Qi had been painting in the capital.

To put it simply, it's about painting Su Chang'an.

But things didn't go smoothly, so he went into seclusion.

The two of them, Caiyunjian and Longjun, standing there were extremely eye-catching.

However, when Su Chang'an walked past them and stopped in front of the fence to look at the arena, Caiyun looked at her.

Liu Fenggu and the others also looked at him.

However, he only glanced at it before looking away.

Su Chang'an saw doubt in Caiyun's eyes, but it disappeared the next moment.

Su Chang'an could tell that they were seeing his 'fake breasts'.

As he ate the peach shortbread, Su Chang'an thought to himself, "So that's the deeper meaning my wife had in mind."

If it weren't for her breasts, she would have been recognized just by touching Qing Ning.

I still have to listen to my wife.

Thinking this, Su Chang'an took a bite of peach shortbread and looked at the scale of the arena.

But Liu Fenggu's words also reached my ears.

"Don't worry, it won't break. When I fought the Empress, I held back when I was about to injure her with my sword. I know what I'm doing on this stage."

……

P.S.: I'm already in the final stages of one of the two major climaxes, which will come back in quick succession. I'm still thinking about the new book; I've written a lot of drafts that I didn't finish, sigh! Once it's complete, I'll release a separate chapter.
