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

Chapter 1322 Like master, like disciple
"Huh?" Su Zifan was stunned for a moment, looking at the prince he had brought back from the Western Regions.

Moreover, it wasn't just Su Zifan; Wu Juanzi, Qi Pei, Su Linhan, and others standing nearby all looked at this prince from the Western Regions with strange expressions.

Xia Fengxiang, wearing a veil, turned to look at the man from the Western Regions. He noticed that the man wore a wolf head emblem around his neck and that his clothes were also printed with wolf heads. He guessed that this man was probably a prince of the Turgesh Khanate in the Western Regions.

She remembered that he was the eldest son of Usumish Khan of the former Turgesh Khanate, and his name was Angella.

However, the Turgesh Khanate was not destroyed by the Bactrian Empire, but by the Abbasid Caliphate. Nevertheless, it continued to fight against the Abbasid Caliphate in the Western Regions in an attempt to reclaim its homeland.

When Zhao Wuxu and his men were traveling and negotiating peace in the Western Regions with their troops and firearms, the remnants of the Turgesh Khanate took the initiative to approach them, wanting to submit to the Great Xia and hand over all their troops to Zhao Wuxu.

Zhao Wuxu helped them reclaim some territory from the Abbasid Caliphate and settled those people. Then, he sent Su Zifan with all the nobles to Daxia.

Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "A marriage alliance?"

Su Zifan glanced at Xia Fengxiang but didn't say anything. He had just heard Su Zhaoxin say that this was Wu Dameng's aunt.

but
Looking at Prince Angela, Su Zifan had a strange expression and asked the same question as Xia Fengxiang: "A marriage alliance?"

Angella spoke up: "Our Turgesh Khanate has submitted to Great Xia. For the sake of a lasting alliance between our two countries, shouldn't we arrange a marriage?"

Xia Fengxiang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then he lowered his head and rubbed Wu Dameng's head, feeling a little amused. He thought of what his father had once told her: that Usumish Khan was a good king because even in death, he died protecting his people.

And his son.

According to the letter from Zhao Wuxu that Su Zifan brought back to Xia Fengxiang, the Turgesh Khanate submitted under the leadership of the prime minister. After completely submitting and seeing Zhao Wuxu give his people a home, the prime minister committed suicide on his homeland because he felt he had betrayed his country. As for the prince, Zhao Wuxu's assessment was that he was "completely unaware of his own situation."

I really don't know.

Hearing the Great Xia woman with the veil laugh, Angel frowned: "This matter involves two countries, is it really that funny?"

Xia Fengxiang smiled and looked at the others around the prince.

The visitors included not only people from the Turgesh Khanate, but also people from the kingdoms of Gumo, Xiye, and Cheshi, based on the patterns on their clothing.

So he looked at the people from the three kingdoms and asked with a smile, "Do you gentlemen also wish to form a marriage alliance with our Great Xia?"

Su Zifan looked at Xia Fengxiang with a puzzled expression. Why was this young mistress of the Wu family asking this?

But then I thought, this isn't something an ordinary person should ask.

However, Su Zifan was easygoing and didn't care about this.

However, the few low-ranking officials from the Court of State Ceremonial, dressed in blue robes, were taken aback. After glancing at Xia Fengxiang, they saw that General Su did not say anything and did not offer any further advice.

Furthermore, they also wanted to know if these people from the Western Regions had misjudged their own position and harbored such thoughts.

The man who came from Cheshi was middle-aged. He didn't speak, but just put his hand on his chest, not daring to say anything more, and he didn't dare to look around anymore.

The young man from the Western Night Kingdom glanced at Su Linhan, then hesitated to speak.

The young man from Gumo Kingdom said, "I have a wife and dare not think of marriage alliances."

Su Zifan asked with a smile, "Prince Amin, can your daughter be settled first?"

The prince of Gumo named Amin quickly shook his head: "I dare not presume to presume. And please just call me Amin, General. I am no longer a prince, but just an ordinary citizen of Great Xia."

Angela and the prince of the Western Night Kingdom glanced at the man, their eyes filled with disdain.

Su Zifan smiled and looked at the prince of Xiye Kingdom who had spoken: "Were you looking at my Linhan with that gaze just now?"

Su Linhan paused, then looked at her fourth uncle.

The prince of the Western Kingdom quickly bowed and said, "If a marriage alliance is possible, I would like to marry this young lady."

Su Zifan gave a thumbs up: "You have good taste. In our family, this girl is number one in terms of elegance, and she is also favored by the Empress. You want to be my Su family's son-in-law and the Empress's brother-in-law at first sight?"

The prince of the Western Night Kingdom paused for a moment, then looked expectant: "General Su, may I?"

Su Zifan chuckled and ignored him, instead looking at Angela: "Is the prince serious?"

The Turgesh Khanate prince immediately nodded: "Of course I mean it. That woman is so powerful; in our country, powerful women should all belong to the king."

An official from the Court of State Ceremonial frowned, but was stopped by his colleague before he could speak.

Su Zifan laughed and said, "In our Great Xia, the most supreme and strongest woman is the Great Xia Empress. So you mean you still have your eyes on our Great Xia Emperor?"

When Su Zifan asked this question, everyone around him looked at Angela.

The officials from the Court of State Ceremonial, in particular, frowned and stared at Angella.

Wu Dameng looked up at Angela. Although she couldn't understand what the adults were saying, she understood this sentence.

This man has feelings for his teacher's wife.

That would be an insult to my master.

So Wu Dameng looked at Angela, waiting for his answer.

Angela said, "If possible, I would naturally be willing to enter the harem of the Great Xia Emperor in order to restore my country. Moreover, I have heard that although the Great Xia Emperor and Empress are deeply in love, they have no children. If I were to enter the palace, it would be perfect."

Snapped!
When this person got to this point...
A small figure threw a stone directly at Angela's face.

A scream immediately echoed throughout the training ground.

Everyone in the training ground was still immersed in the miraculous battle between the Sword Saint and the rising star.

Upon hearing this scream, everyone turned around.

There was a man from the Western Regions lying on the ground, clutching his head and wailing, while a little girl held a blood-stained stone with an innocent expression on her face.

And judging from their posture, they were planning to charge forward.

Suddenly, everyone looked around curiously. What was going on?
Su Zifan and the others were also surprised that Wu Dameng made a move so directly.

Wu Dameng didn't care about anything else. He took the stone and, in front of everyone, smashed it on Angela's head again.

I grew up in the mountains and was used to seeing beasts fighting each other and witnessing countless scenes of bloodshed.

Moreover, as someone who lives in the martial arts world, I have naturally seen many people fighting each other.

He also witnessed more and more people coming to seek revenge fighting with his parents, uncles, and the people in the village.

How could Wu Dameng possibly care about hitting someone?

She was also a member of the martial arts world.

Especially this time.
This person said, 'My master and his wife have no children.'

Rumors were rampant in the streets and alleys back then.

Wu Dameng naturally overheard some of it, but whenever she saw her master and mistress laughing happily, she became curious.

Later, I asked my master, "Master, didn't you care about what they said about you and your wife?"

Su Chang'an smiled and said, "Of course I care. But what can I do?"

I keep saying I'm a man, but nobody believes me. What can I do?
Wu Dameng heard him say "Oh".

When I got home, I asked Sister Qingning about it.

Su Qingning said, "My elder sister and sister-in-law must be very sad, but they can't show it, because they are the emperor and empress."

Wu Dameng wasn't very bright, but he knew this was something his master cared about.

But now this person is saying this, and even wants to enter the harem.
He insulted my master and his wife.

That master who was always so kind to her, always smiling and teaching her so much, always asking her how much money she had—she even insulted her master's wife, who always prepared everything perfectly for her.

Grandpa said that your master and mistress, who are truly good to you, are like your second parents.

so.
She wanted to kill this man.

This is the second time.

With Wu Dameng's strength, it goes without saying how Angela would fare.

Those watching from the sidelines, some of whom were seeing something like this for the first time, turned deathly pale instantly. Some even screamed, "Murder!"

Xia Fengxiang was startled when he saw Wu Dameng suddenly like this, but he quickly stepped forward and picked her up.

Wu Dameng threw down the stone in his hand, looked at his teacher's wife, blinked, and didn't know what to say.

Su Zifan also realized what was happening at this moment. He glanced at Wu Dameng, then looked at the prince of the Turgesh Khanate on the ground.

Obediently
This little girl is so ruthless?
But without saying anything more, he stepped forward and grabbed the Khanate guard who had come to check on Angela, placing one hand on his shoulder: "What, are you going to draw your sword?"

The guard paused, then turned to look at Su Zifan, pursing his lips. "That little girl killed our prince; she must be killed."

Swish!
Su Zifan drew his knife with his other hand, his movements incredibly fluid!

And in the instant the sword is drawn!

Su Zifan had already stabbed the guard through the throat!

"Damn it, how dare he threaten to kill my niece on my Great Xia territory?" Su Zifan casually tossed the severed head aside.

Without saying anything more, he turned his head to look at the pale-faced prince of the Western Night Kingdom, grabbed him by the head. Having fought for many years, Su Zifan naturally had some strength.

He lifted the prince of the Western Night Kingdom with one hand and said, "You son of a bitch, a marriage alliance? You really think you're a prince? You're even eyeing the Queen's sister. Don't you have any self-awareness?"

At this point, Su Zifan looked at the many Western Region people around him: "Listen up, all of you! We call you king and prince because our Great Xia is giving you face. If you don't take that face, then die. If you surrender to our Great Xia, then you have submitted to our Great Xia. The Turgesh Khanate and the Western Regions are gone. Only Great Xia remains. And the reason we brought you to Great Xia is simply to give you the opportunity to become citizens of our Great Xia capital. If you don't want this opportunity, and you still think you are of noble status, talking about marriage alliances with our Great Xia..."

At this point, Su Zifan looked at the former prince of Xiye Kingdom: "What do you think will happen?"

The prince of the Western Night Kingdom shook his head, trembling: "I was wrong, General Su, I was wrong."

Su Zifan casually tossed the prince of the Western Night Kingdom aside and looked at the surrounding people: "Listen up, everyone. From now on, within my Great Xia, if any people from the Western Regions act like they're some kind of king or prince, acting all high and mighty, don't lay a hand on them. Laying a hand on them is against the law, but reporting them to the authorities is not. They are just ordinary people, citizens of Great Xia just like us. The former territories of the various kingdoms in the Western Regions now belong to my Great Xia, so when I say Great Xia, I include that area. Today, this man called himself a prince of the Turgesh Khanate, shamelessly wanting to form a marriage alliance with my Great Xia, and even dared to spout nonsense about wanting to enter the harem, insulting my emperor and empress. He deserves to die. If anyone disagrees, step forward now and let's talk."

As soon as he spoke, Su Zifan's gaze swept over the Western Region people, and he placed one hand on the hilt of his sword. The Western Region people all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

In particular, the middle-aged man from Cheshi Kingdom and Amin, the former prince of Gumo Kingdom, bowed respectfully to Su Zifan.

From the moment those two started talking so arrogantly, they knew something bad was going to happen, so one of them didn't dare to speak, while the other immediately stated his position.

Xia Fengxiang glanced at her and said nothing. He simply put Wu Dameng down and jokingly scolded, "You've gotten so fat, I can't carry you anymore."

Wu Dameng looked at his master's wife with his eyebrows forming an "eight" shape, but seeing that she didn't blame him for doing that, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because taking action is definitely something we'll have to do.

but.
She was prepared to be scolded, but her teacher's wife didn't scold her.

However, the people of the Great Xia surrounding them, including ordinary citizens and martial arts practitioners, turned from surprise to anger upon hearing General Su's words, but there was also a hint of delight.

Everyone says they won the battle.

But there was no real sense of what kind of victory it was, since the imperial court had not issued any official documents; it was all just talk about the victory among the people.

Now this general is saying that the Western Regions are all part of our Great Xia territory?

This is hardly a victory.

This is like directly conquering a country and then expanding its territory!
"Zifan, what's this?"

Wu Xingba rushed over, glanced at the ground, and then looked at Su Zifan.

Su Zifan saw Wu Xingba and whispered a few words in his ear. Wu Xingba frowned and said, "Clean this up. Don't spoil everyone's mood for watching the martial arts competition and having fun."

Then look at Wu Dameng.

Wu Xingba stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Miss Wu, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Wu Dameng: "Huh?"

After Wu Xingba chuckled, he glanced at Xia Fengxiang and the others, told Su Zifan that he would clean up the mess himself and that they should leave it to them, and then left with his men.

The officials from the Court of State Ceremonial knew what to do, and immediately walked with smiles toward the prince of Gumo Kingdom and the middle-aged man from Cheshi. They even helped the prince of Xiye Kingdom up and continued to talk about the details of the martial arts demonstration, without mentioning anything about what had just happened.

People around them were talking amongst themselves, all eyes on Wu Dameng.

That little girl was really ruthless.

However, some discerning and skilled martial artists could tell at a glance that although the girl looked young, she was already a fifth-rank expert in external martial arts. Compared to the fact that a deserving person had died, this matter shocked them even more.

Which major sect has raised this precious little darling?

Su Zifan flicked Wu Dameng on the head, "You brat, you acted so fast, I didn't even finish the story I had prepared in my mind."

Then she added, "But you were a bit ruthless. Fortunately, I had prepared for this in advance. Otherwise, you brat, you would have needed the Empress to protect you. After all, killing someone in the street is still a crime under the law in Great Xia."

Wu Dameng trembled her lips, somewhat embarrassed: "I didn't want to either."

Xia Fengxiang smiled and then looked at Su Zifan: "General Su, please don't blame this child. After all, it was the fault of those people from the Western Regions."

Upon hearing this, Su Zifan looked at Xia Fengxiang and said with a smile, "Young lady Wu, you should keep quiet for now. If we don't scare the child a little, it won't do."

"Little sister?" Xia Fengxiang smiled at Su Zifan, then nodded, "Brother Su is right, little sister understands."

Su Zifan chuckled and said, "But you're really good, sister. Your question about the arranged marriage and that smile led to what happened later. Otherwise, things would have been a bit more complicated for me today. I should thank you too."

Xia Fengxiang chuckled and said, "I just find it laughable, Brother Su, you don't need to be so polite."

Su Zifan chuckled, not caring that the Western Region people beside him were listening.

Out on business?
Was this a deliberate tactic to lure them here?
In an instant, these people from the Western Regions understood what was going on.

Su Zifan, however, seemed unconcerned about all of this and looked at everyone, saying, "Alright, I'll take them to explore the surrounding area. You guys do your thing."

"Fourth Uncle!"

But at this time...
Su Qingning suddenly jumped out, giving Su Zifan a surprise.

Zhao Huniu, Xia Yaomo, and Li Yueyue were all behind him.

……

Meanwhile, on Su Chang'an's side...
Upon learning what had happened over there, these seasoned veterans, each a cunning old fox, chuckled and said nothing more.

The affairs of the imperial court are none of their business. As long as the martial arts exercises continue, they can do whatever they want.

Yang Huayan didn't care about this anymore.

Yang Huayan approached Su Chang'an with some snacks and said seriously, "Little sister, these are the snacks that the emperor and empress eat in the palace. I got them through connections. Here, have some. How about you lose to me later?"

……

P.S.: Just to clarify, updates have been a bit scattered this month due to various things, but the word count hasn't decreased.
