Chapter 373 Gathering the geniuses, Murong resigns
In the Human Emperor's Palace, Xia Wuyou did not immediately look at the letter in his hand, but first looked at the girl in blue who was standing in the hall with an indifferent expression.
Compared to the outstanding disciples sent by other major sects to participate in the celebration, she was more interested in the girl in front of her who was outside the plan.
After all, people who can break through the Seventh Realm under the age of twenty are rare.
What's more, the actual combat experience and the natural aura of a strong person displayed by the girl in blue are even more surprising.
Even at certain moments, Xia Wuyou felt that he was not facing a genius girl under twenty years old, but a master of a sect.
Of course, this funny thought flashed through her mind, and she quickly suppressed it.
Maybe it's just my own illusion. After all, no matter how you look at it, this woman named Shangguan Liushuang is just a girl now.
However, the surname Shangguan is the same as the founder of Tianjian Sect. I don’t know if there is any connection between the two?
Secretly guessing in his heart, Xia Wuyou looked at the girl in blue and asked, "Shangguan Liushuang, do you know why I sent someone to find you?"
Shangguan Liushuang frowned. After her competition with that brat, she was found by several mysterious masters who said that the Queen wanted to summon her.
Fortunately, she did have something to see Her Majesty the Queen when she came this time, so she did not refuse.
Of course, there is no way to refuse.
The strength of each of the four people who came to find him was above the Eighth Realm, and the four of them had a very close connection and cooperation.
If he were in his prime, he would not be afraid of these four people, but now his strength is beyond his ability to deal with them.
Fortunately, these four people did not lie. It was indeed the current Queen who was looking for her.
To be on the safe side, she handed over the letter written by Shen Ruge after meeting the rumored queen for the first time.
But the other party didn't read it carefully. After putting the letter aside, he asked himself.
Shangguan Liushuang frowned slightly when he heard this and thought about it carefully.
No one except Shen Ruge knows his true identity now.
Seeing the way the other party looked at her at this moment, and then combined with her previous actions, she roughly understood the meaning of the words of the queen in front of her.
Thinking about it, it was probably the strength he showed during the competition with that brat that aroused the other's curiosity.
Although she understood the general outline of the matter in her heart, Shangguan Liushuang remained calm on the surface. She just shook her head and said, "Reporting to your majesty, I don't know, so please let your majesty make it clear."
Although Xia Wuyou kept staring at the girl in blue, trying to discern something from her expression.
But to her disappointment, whether she really didn't know or was pretending too well, she didn't notice anything unusual.
The girl in blue in front of her seemed to have returned to a girl who was inexperienced in the world. The grand master's aura when she was confronting Murong Jianqiu was gone.
Sighing slightly in his heart, Xia Wuyou felt that he must have seen it wrong.
Putting away the distracting thoughts in his heart, Xia Wuyou looked at the girl in blue and said, "I see that you have reached the seventh realm at a young age, and you have extremely rich practical experience. You are indeed the best among the people I have seen over the years. I wonder if you would like to be the next protector of the country?"
For Xia Wuyou, who is now thirty years old, although her appearance has not changed much, she knows very well that her lifespan is only seventy years at most.
Seventy years may not be a long time for a practitioner, and even many people who have just entered the practice have longer lifespans than her.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
The cultivation method of the Human Emperor lineage is very special. When they get the benefit of being promoted to extremely strong strength in a short period of time, the price they have to pay is that the lifespan of each generation of Human Emperors is less than a hundred years old.
This is the mission that the ancestors of human emperors have carried out for thousands of years.
In addition to obtaining the supreme glory and lofty status, what they need to pay is a short lifespan.
Xia Wuyou didn't think he would be an exception.
By now, it was time for her to start thinking about the next Emperor.
Although she does not have an heir so far, she is already considering the team of the next Human Emperor to succeed him.
The girl in blue in front of her, not to mention her young age, is extremely powerful.
In the future, he might become the next Murong Jianqiu.
Shangguan Liushuang was slightly stunned when he heard the words suddenly spoken by the queen in front of him.
She had thought that the queen in front of her asked her to enter the palace because of her strength, but no matter what, she did not expect that the other party would recruit her as the next protector of the country.
Of course she knew what he meant by the person who protects the country.
Just as Shen Ruge said when he first returned to the Tianjian Sect, it was because Tianjian Sect served as the protector of the Great Xia Dynasty for two consecutive terms that it developed from a small sect at the beginning to the Great Xia it is today. Top sect.
What she didn't expect was that after experiencing Xie Yunliu and Murong Jianqiu, the identity of the third protector of the country would fall on her.
In this way, it coincides with his own plan.
It can even be said that the current situation is better than what I originally planned.
Although she was excited in her heart, Shangguan Liushuang still looked calm and composed on the surface. She even deliberately made an embarrassed look and said: "Thank you for your majesty's attention, Shangguan Liushuang is grateful. It's just that I am a member of the Tianjian Sect." Disciples, such important matters need to be discussed with the elders of the sect before you can reply to Your Majesty..."
Before Shangguan Liushuang could finish his words, a very calm female voice suddenly sounded outside the Human Emperor's Palace: "There is no need to discuss it. Since His Majesty values you, then just agree to it."
Shangguan Liushuang was shocked when he heard this and immediately looked back.
The next moment, Murong Jianqiu, who carried a long green sword on his back and held two very similar children, a boy and a girl, in his left and right hands, walked proudly into the Human Emperor's Palace.
Xia Wuyou, who had been sitting on the main seat, suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart when he saw Murong Jianqiu suddenly appearing here, especially with two children in his hands.
At this moment, of course she already knew who the two children beside Murong Jianqiu were.
Looking at the two familiar faces, Xia Wuyou was in a trance. Even though she has always been reluctant to think about it.
But at this moment, seeing this scene with her own eyes, she knew that she had completely failed.
Holding back the sourness in his heart, Xia Wuyou tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Jianqiu, you are here."
Murong Jianqiu didn't feel anything unusual. Hearing the words of the empress who was both his opponent and whom he had been dependent on for ten years, he nodded slightly and said to the two children: "Hurry and pay homage to Your Majesty."
Gu Ping and Gu An had been educated by their mother long ago.
Naturally, there was no stage fright at this time. After receiving the signal, the two of them quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Gu Ping, Gu An, I have met Her Majesty the Queen."
"Gu Ping, Gu An..."
Hearing the greetings from the two children, Xia Wuyou muttered their names while looking at the two little guys carefully.
Speaking of which, this was also the first time she saw the two little guys.
When these two little guys were born, they were brought back to the Immortal Sect by Murong Jianqiu.
Although she had chatted with Murong Jianqiu several times in the past ten years, she was rejected by him every time with various excuses.
But I didn't expect that now, I would see the two little guys again.
Seeing the two little guys staring at him, Xia Wuyou couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Okay, you two don't have to be polite, come to me and let me take a closer look."
Gu Ping and Gu An did not expect that the Queen in front of them would be so kind to them, and they couldn't help but look back at their mother.
Murong Jianqiu hesitated slightly, but when he caught Xia Wuyou's gaze, he finally nodded slightly to the two children, indicating that they could pass.
After receiving the signal from their mother, Gu Ping and Gu An walked up to the Emperor of Great Xia together.
Seeing the two little guys approaching him, who were still a little restrained, Xia Wuyou couldn't help but smile and said, "No need to be restrained, you didn't have this attitude when we met before."
Hearing the words of Her Majesty the Queen in front of them, Gu Ping and Gu An, who were still a little nervous, couldn't help but curiously looked up at the person in front of them, wanting to know when they were actually with this person. Have you met Her Majesty the Queen?
It's just fine if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, it makes the two of them even more confused.
The Queen in front of them seemed to be much younger and more beautiful than their mother, which surprised both of them.
Gu Ping couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty is so beautiful, even more beautiful than my mother."
When Xia Wuyou heard this compliment, even though his temperament had become much more stable in the past ten years, he couldn't help but feel happy at this moment.
Reaching out to hug Gu Ping, Xia Wuyou shook his head slightly and asked with a smile, "Really? Am I really more beautiful than your mother?"
"Hmm, although my mother is beautiful, she always has a straight face, unlike Your Majesty who always smiles when he sees everyone."
Hearing Gu Ping's words, Xia Wuyou couldn't help but glance at Murong Jianqiu who was unresponsive. Of course she knew why Murong Jianqiu behaved like this.
He sighed secretly in his heart and didn't say much. He just changed the subject and asked: "Since you two are both Jianqiu's children, there is no need to be so unfamiliar. Just call me Aunt Wuyou from now on."
Just after Xia Wuyou finished speaking, Gu An, who had been observing carefully for a long time, finally seemed to remember something and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wait a minute, I, you... I remembered, I know Who are you? You are the bastard who underestimated us... um..."
Xia Wuyou lowered his head slightly and looked at the little guy who turned embarrassed and silent after speaking halfway and couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that you have remembered it."
Gu An felt a burst of sweat at this moment.
In fact, after the close contact, he felt that the tone of Her Majesty the Queen's words seemed to have been heard somewhere before.
In particular, his demeanor and temperament, which treated everything very indifferently, made him feel even more familiar.
Considering what happened to the few of them after they entered the Imperial City, the only people they met and interacted with were probably the two masters and servants.
But at that time, my attitude seemed a bit bad?
Seeing that this little guy seemed a little scared, Xia Wuyou couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "Okay, don't be afraid. I admit that I do underestimate this little guy like you."
Murong Jianqiu, who didn't know what was going on, couldn't help but asked curiously when he saw this, "Your Majesty, you seem to know them two?"
Hearing this, Xia Wuyou told the story of his previous encounter with the two little guys. Murong Jianqiu frowned as he listened.
He couldn't say it, so he tried to pull his youngest son's ears again.
Seeing this, Gu An couldn't care about anything else at this time and hurriedly hid aside.
……
After a while, after finally figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, several people in the hall finally calmed down.
After Murong Jianqiu gathered the two children back to him, he looked at Shangguan Liushuang who had been waiting quietly and said: "Shangguan Liushuang, you can consider what your Majesty said before. This pair of It’s a great opportunity for you.”
Although according to seniority, Murong Jianqiu wanted to call the girl in blue in front of him his uncle.
Seeing Murong Jianqiu actually speaking to him and persuading Shangguan Liushuang, Xia Wuyou was also happy and said immediately, "Yes, as long as you agree, you don't have to worry about your cultivation path in the future."
Shangguan Liushuang, who had no objection at first, didn't say anything more when she heard the two of them taking turns to persuade her. She just took a deep look at the two little guys who were following Murong Jianqiu.
"In that case, I will promise your Majesty the little girl."
As if he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, Xia Wuyou couldn't help but be surprised for a moment: "Oh, really?"
Shangguan Liushuang responded calmly: "Of course it is. Thanks to His Majesty's respect, I dare not obey your orders."
Murong Jianqiu, who was on the side, saw that the deal between the two was concluded, with a faint smile on his lips. He took two steps forward to look at Xia Wuyou and told him his purpose.
"Now that your majesty has found the next person to protect the country, Jianqiu wants to resign and resign from the position of national advisor. Please agree to it."
Xia Wuyou, who had just harvested Shangguan Liushuang, couldn't help being shocked when he heard Murong Jianqiu's words of resignation. He stood up instantly and said, "What? Jianqiu, why are you like this? But where am I?" Offended you? Today's dynasty cannot do without you!" (End of Chapter)
