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

Chapter 1319 Making Martial Arts Competitions Less Boring
The capital of the Great Xia Dynasty was bustling with activity due to the martial arts competition. People from all over the city flocked to the competition venue, like a river flowing endlessly.

The entire Imperial Guard was mobilized, along with the patrol battalion; the Jingzhao Prefecture had already begun its deployment.

Those foreign envoys, kings, princesses, and princes who had been brought earlier were taken there by officials from the Court of State Ceremonies and the Ministry of Rites.

And at the highest point of the Great Xia, atop the Hua'e Tower, which was built by Emperor Xuanzong in the past.

Empress Dowager Li Yunxian of the Great Xia Dynasty sat on the rooftop, looking at the martial arts arena, and picked up a wine pot.

But before the wine flask touched his lips, he suddenly stopped, a smile playing on his lips: "Let's begin."

Right next to her great-grandmother, Liu Qingru, the eldest daughter of the Liu family who was of a very high generation, looked at her great-grandmother with a puzzled expression.

Grandma spoke up: "Your first opponent is Yu Taohua, isn't it?"

Liu Qingru nodded.

Although Yu Taohua, Wu Qinhu, and the others had not yet arrived in the capital, the Old Celestial Master and others made the decision and directly registered them.

Grandma was quite blunt: "Then you're going to lose the first match, so it's no harm in telling you."

Liu Qingru lowered her eyes, but did not deny that she had seen Yu Taohua's sword before, and had also been questioned by Yu Taohua about her sword.

The man suddenly appeared at his secluded valley, demanding to know the sword technique. Before leaving, he remarked, "Grandma Liu is strong; it took me over thirty sword strikes to defeat you."

It's really hateful!
Grandma spoke up: "Little Chang'an is participating too."

Liu Qingru was taken aback and looked at the Grandmother: "The Empress participated?"

He immediately frowned, "If the Empress participated, wouldn't she be guaranteed first place?"

Grandma tossed the wine jug to Liu Qingru, then bent one leg, propped her cheek up with one hand, and said with a lazy and composed expression, "I'm joining too."

The moment the words left his mouth.
The great-grandmother, who originally looked like an old woman, instantly transformed into a young woman.

A long wind rose with the breeze, and her pale pink lips shone through.

Liu Qingru was about to drink when she heard this, so she looked at her great-grandmother and subconsciously asked, "Are you willing to draw your sword?"

Grandma laughed and said, "The first one I hit was the old blind man. That's perfect. I didn't slash him enough back then, and I always felt uneasy about it. He gouged out his own eyes, saying he didn't want to see this filthy world. It's only because I became Empress that I did that I cut out his tongue. What was he pretending to be? Now he can't even see the world."

After taking a sip of wine, Liu Qingru handed the wine pot back to the Grandmother. "No one can stop you and the Empress. Or are you going there because of her?"

Grandma smiled, glancing down at Miss Liu out of the corner of her eye: "If it were Hua Yan, she would be asking right now, 'Should we cause a scene at the martial arts competition?'"

Liu Qingru frowned: "I am not Yang Huayan, and she is not me!"

Grandma smiled and said, "Don't you think that martial arts demonstration was too boring?"

Grandma's lips curled up.

A long wind blew wildly, and the man laughed.

Just like the sword immortal I saw back then, he has never changed.

Liu Qingru stared at her great-grandmother for a moment, but then immediately realized something and asked, "How do we make a scene?"

Grandma looked at Liu Qingru: "So serious, still like this after all these years. I already told you, Xiao Chang'an participated. I told him that going to the martial arts demonstration wouldn't be boring, don't you understand?"

Having said that, he began to tilt his head back and drink.

Liu Qingru pondered for a moment, then looked at her great-grandmother: "Like you were back then?"

In the past, whenever there was a major event in the martial arts world, Li Yunxian would always be there, whether it was to abduct a bride or to stand with her sword in hand, surveying the crowd. In short, she would always make a complete mess of what was originally going to happen.

But it is precisely this utter mess that has become so popular and exciting for people in the martial arts world!
Grandma's deep eyes looked at the place where the martial arts competition was taking place. "The martial arts competition will not be chaotic and will continue, but wouldn't it be better if someone who can excite everyone came out? The martial arts world has been dead for too long and it's time to come back to life, especially since there are many people from foreign countries here."

At this point, Grandma couldn't help but chuckle and scold, "That girl Qingge only remembered at the last minute that this martial arts demonstration was for martial arts practitioners, but it was also for the common people and for those foreigners to watch. Since the army is unparalleled, what about those above the army? That child is just too sorry for that little bastard Chang'an."

Liu Qingru understood. "Do you want Her Majesty to display her strength in this martial arts competition, so that everyone can see the current Empress of Great Xia?"

Grandma smiled but didn't say anything more; instead, she took a sip of her drink.

Liu Qingru spoke up, saying, "You wouldn't have thought about these things before."

Li Yunxian in the past
Everything can be accomplished with a single sword strike.

The purest sword immortal!
The realm that all martial arts practitioners dream of.

Grandma smiled and looked at Liu Qingru: "I used to be a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person of the martial arts world), but now I am the great-grandmother of the Emperor of Heaven."

Liu Qingru actually disliked Li Yunxian's identity because it trapped the free and unrestrained sword immortal.

However, Liu Qingru was extremely good at maintaining her composure, so her expression remained unchanged. She simply looked at the Grandmother and said, "The Empress is good, but she is not you."

Grandma looked back and said, "You all know it wasn't me, but you still keep thinking it was me. Ha, you guys are just taking advantage of this kid's lack of experience in the underworld."

As soon as he finished speaking, a cool summer breeze swept by. "That's why I let him experience the thrill of the martial arts world."

When the summer breeze falls on the martial arts training ground
As the wind rises, the blossoms on the trees flutter down like snowflakes.

Liu Huangwu had already placed his hand on his waist and walked towards the young girl.

Su Chang'an looked at Liu Huangwu and sighed, but he took the spear from behind him, twisted it slightly, and the spear closed, with the red tassel on the spearhead rotating gently.

"Everyone, make way here."

The old celestial master suddenly appeared.

But it was also at this moment.
Liu Huangwu laughed, and in the instant he lunged forward, he drew his long sword from his waist!

Liu Huangwu couldn't beat Yan Yunxiao, and there was no need to waste her energy, so she decided to admit defeat as soon as she stepped onto the stage. After all, Yunxiao was too ruthless, and there was no need to be beaten for no reason.

But what if my hands are itchy?
Now that such a young girl has emerged, doing what Li Yunxian and Yan Yunxiao did before, it's only natural to give it a try!
The moment Liu Huangwu drew the [Fire God] sword, flames enveloped the blade.

Su Chang'an held his gun in one hand, the tip touching the ground. As he saw Liu Huangwu charging towards him, he dragged his gun and charged out as well.

The spear tip scraped the ground, sparks flying, while the tassel fluttered open.

The moment he started, the tip of the spear touched the ground, his wrist flicked, the spear hummed, and in the instant he turned, the spear thrust out.

Keng!
The tip of the spear collided directly with the blade in Liu Huangwu's hand.

The two weapons were then deflected.

But Liu Huangwu then leaned forward, the Vulcan Blade in his hand touching the ground, the blade sweeping swiftly along the ground.

From bottom to top, a blade trailing flames slashed out.

Su Chang'an stepped back.

The swords were no more than half a finger's width in front of him.

“Interesting!” Liu Huangwu said.

Then, he placed his other hand on the hilt of the sword, and the sword strike that was originally meant to be delivered from bottom to top suddenly pressed down.

Instead, the cut was made from top to bottom!

Su Chang'an thrust out his spear in that instant!
Sparks flew as the blade scraped against the gun barrel!

Liu Huangwu leaned forward, the blade grazing the spear shaft, and slashed straight at Su Chang'an's hand holding the spear.

Su Chang'an spread his five fingers and released the spear. The instant he did so, he grabbed the end of the spear with his other hand, and then placed the other hand under the end of the spear.

The blade is closing in!

Su Chang'an crossed his hands, and the spear suddenly spun.

boom!
Su Chang'an kicked the end of the spear, which transformed into a tornado and shot straight at Liu Huangwu.

As Liu Huangwu hurriedly sheathed her sword, she quickly retreated, trying to avoid the spear.

But as the spear spun, the air currents accompanied the surroundings, drawing in the flames on the Fire God Blade, transforming it into a fiery spear that hurtled directly towards him.

Liu Huangwu stomped his foot on the ground, let out a loud snort, and unleashed his inner energy. Then, he slashed at the spear with his sword, causing the spear shaft to tremble!
But Su Chang'an still appeared at this moment, holding a gun in one hand, the tip of the gun touching the ground, the long gun bent, and he used the force of the bent long gun to rush towards Liu Huangwu.

Liu Huangwu's expression froze for a moment!
The tip of the spear touched the ground, a cold glint flashing in its light.

The spear tip suddenly ripped up the ground, transforming into a slash that went from bottom to top, the red tassel drawing a crimson arc.

Upon seeing this, Liu Huangwu leaned back.

The tip of the spear grazed the tip of his nose, and blood seeped from Liu Huangwu's nose.

Before Liu Huangwu could react
The woman in red, wielding a long spear, changed her stance, her robes fluttering, and appeared behind Liu Huangwu without anyone noticing.

Liu Huangwu's expression froze!
He just turned around!
The woman in red, without withdrawing her gun, turned her back to the old man and thrust the gun out.

Back carbine!
The tip of the spear stopped less than half a finger's width in front of Liu Huangwu's throat.

The summer breeze carried petals and green leaves, which were shattered by the gunfire and scattered into tiny fragments. The woman in red, holding a gun in one hand, looked at Liu Huangwu with sparkling eyes, her figure heroic and dashing.

The wind stopped, and the flowers fell.

She stood with her gun sheathed, the red tassel hanging down, the tip of the gun still gleaming coldly.

A few withered petals clung to his shoulder, but slid off gently as Su Chang'an clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Senior, you should admit defeat. How about I get a roasted lamb leg over there?"
