Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 119 Opportunity!

One day in early October.

The roads changed from crisscrossing to being straight. When the carriage was moving forward, people living outside the city could be seen from time to time at first. However, the further north they went, the fewer people there were, until finally only animals could be seen jumping by from time to time.

It has been three days since the convoy left Shangjing City.

Inside the carriage, the two people who were chatting just a moment ago shut up tacitly. Then a hearty and heroic voice came to my ears: "The name of Saint Haitang has spread throughout the countries. Luo has also heard of her for a long time. I wonder if she is just a name for nothing?"

There were two people standing on several huge rocks that looked like stairs in front of the road, as if they were waiting for their arrival.

"Be alert!" Xu Chu shouted.

As the leader of the escort team, he had drawn his spear and mounted his horse to protect the carriage, while the soldiers in the team also drew their swords and waited with indifferent and cold expressions.

"Jinyiwei?" One of the two people blocking the way seemed a little confused.

The other person smiled and said, "I should have expected this and been prepared."

The carriage curtain opened, and Haitang Duoduo jumped down, spinning the silver axe in her palm twice. She looked up and asked, "I've been following you all the way. Do you think the scenery here is very beautiful and suitable for you to be buried here forever?"

The two looked at each other and nodded, then walked silently to the front of the team, looked around and carefully explored the surroundings, and then explained: "This place is indeed suitable for eternal sleep, no matter who it is."

"Who are you?" Li An's curious eyes appeared in the carriage.

"I've met Empress Dowager De."

The former seemed to be not good at talking to people in high positions. He bowed to Li An and then turned to his teammates and nodded, "Brother Luo, you should speak."

"What's the point of reading so many books?" Luo Qi frowned slightly and looked at the carriage without hesitation. "Our names are not worth mentioning. We have received the order of Prince Gong and are waiting here to send the queen on her way."

Li An nodded slightly, feeling that the two of them were getting closer, and said with a smile: "You are quite direct and don't hide anything. I really admire you."

"Here the world is quiet, and I can speak freely."

Luo Qi's cold voice sounded at the right time, giving Li An enough face. It made the two of them look not like assassins, but just martial arts masters who came here to compete with Haitang Duoduo.

There are a lot of people in the convoy, and it would be difficult for the two of them to leave no one alive. They dare to speak so frankly, maybe they have other support?
As if he knew what Li An was thinking at the moment, he responded, "It's just the two of us this time."

"The Nanqing army has won victory after victory. The troops stationed from Cangzhou Road have already advanced to the natural barrier of the river. Prince Gong predicts that Daqi will be defeated within three months. When Daqi sends envoys to Nanqing to negotiate peace, the conditions will be harsh." Luo Qi said calmly, "The court is incompetent, so it is better to let capable people take the lead. It may be better for the country and the people. What do you think?"

"Is this what Chen Pingping said to Zhan Gaohong?"

Li An nodded thoughtfully: "A mere Prince Gong cannot support the two of you~"

Luo Qi's sword had already left his body. The scholar-like man beside him stepped forward and said, "I am Ruan Yu, your Majesty, please do not blame Brother Luo for what he said. However, this is indeed a solution. The right words are always unpleasant to the ear, and your Majesty does not need to be angry about this."

"Why did you choose Prince Gong? How do you know that Zhan Gaohong can ensure the safety of Da Qi?" Li An's interest seemed to be fading, and he was playing with the gift box prepared by the little emperor. "Besides you two, does Prince Gong have any other ninth-rank experts?"

The Northern Qi had a vast territory, and although the people there were not as martial as those in the Southern Qing, there were always some talented people in the martial arts world.

Li An was not surprised by the arrival of some unknown strongmen who had never appeared in the original novel. If there were only a few ninth-rank masters in Northern Qi, that would have surprised Li An. "Brother Luo, wait a moment. I will answer the queen's question before fighting."

Ruan Yu bowed and responded calmly, as if talking about an insignificant topic, "We were all prisoners originally. It was not us who chose His Royal Highness Prince Gong, but only he would accept us. As for the specific talent of Prince Gong, it doesn't matter if Your Majesty doesn't know, but in my opinion, he is better than His Majesty. At least, under the same circumstances, His Royal Highness Prince Gong would not let a woman oppress him."

"As for the other ninth-rank masters, maybe there are some, but I don't know who they are."

Quite interesting!

His words implicitly implied that the Queen Mother controlled the government and that it was untrue that the mother and son were fighting for power.

Roche just stood there quietly without interrupting. He listened attentively and tapped his forehead from time to time. The two of them seemed to respect each other and had a very good relationship.

However, Haitang Duoduo, who was standing beside the carriage, couldn't help but be stunned.

"It seems that Zhan Gaohong is risking everything this time, and wants to use this battle to achieve all his goals in one fell swoop." Li An wanted to be patient, but in the end he couldn't help laughing.

The ability of Prince Gong has been well demonstrated. Not to mention the real situation of the little emperor, he didn't even see through the drama between the mother and the son. What great things do you expect him to accomplish?
"How strong are his subordinates now? Has Uesugi Tora joined forces with him for food and grass?" Li An's attention returned to the brocade box with a focused expression and elegant posture.

Ruan Yu shook her head slowly and did not respond to Li Ang's question.

He simply pulled out a special folding fan from his bosom and said thoughtfully, "The power of the queen is growing day by day, and there are no other redundant voices in the court. I think the queen mother is now only in name only, and His Royal Highness Prince Gong has no extra choice."

"Today, if the two of us can keep the Saint Girl and the Queen alive, Your Highness can still fight for the throne; but if the two of us unfortunately die here, Your Highness will immediately surrender to Nanqing and get the throne of a vassal state, and then you can plan for it slowly!"

"My queen, for the sake of the people of Da Qi, please agree to this and die bravely!"

This strange way of thinking left Ang Lee speechless.

It's not that he can't refute the other party, but he really can't reason with extreme people.

After a moment of silence, Li An murmured, "Your Majesty is orthodox, well-versed in poetry and books, skilled in archery and horsemanship, and has the support of the national teacher behind him, and I am also helping him in the court. Now the power of Da Qi is gathered in one place, and its strength is incomparable to before."

"You don't know whether the reason why I went to Qingshan to meet the Imperial Master was because of the matter of conferring the title of Queen, so..." Li An was still very imposing when he was serious. At least from this appearance, it was very intimidating. He raised his head and asked, "Are you scared?"

"Your Majesty is frank, so I will speak frankly."

"This is how the world is now. Strength is often higher than ideal. The two of us are humble people. How could we have imagined that one day we would be able to influence the political situation of Da Qi? Therefore, everything depends on human effort!"

"Fear is always unavoidable, but your Majesty may have been careless during this trip."

"We are indeed afraid, but this is also ours."

Zheng!
The friction between the iron tools made a harsh sound, and Ruan Yu and the other man were ejected like a sharp sword!

"Chance!"
