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

Chapter 157 Uesugi Tiger dies!
“So brave!!!”

This moment came too fast and too suddenly for people to be prepared!

After many years of life and death, the ones he trusts the most are his personal guards. Who would be on guard against the people closest to them? If they were always on guard, they wouldn't be called personal guards!
The fact that there was a spy among the royal guards had already surprised Uesugi Tora, and now there is another one?

The moment the short blade entered his flesh, Uesugi Tiger finally reacted!
The joy and anticipation of having made a great contribution after a great victory made him let down his guard for a moment, and the cold blade continued to penetrate his flesh.

When Uesugi Tora tried his best to turn around quickly, he used his spear to knock away the iron fan that was attacking his neck. He endured the severe pain and twisted his body with a full burst of true energy. The short blade, which was made of unknown material, actually broke in the middle!
It can be seen that Uesugi Tiger's true energy has been tempered through thousands of trials, otherwise it would be impossible for him to shatter the blade with his physical body!
The attacker raised his lips, not as gentle and elegant as usual, nor as cautious as when facing the queen. At this moment, his face was filled with endless murderous intent and cruelty! Even the next move was extremely crazy!
I wanted to kill you with one move, but you insisted on enduring more pain.
madness!

Without any sluggishness or slowness, he hooked his wrist and with the cold inner energy, the iron fan flew out of his hand and became a hidden weapon, spinning and cutting towards Shang Shanhu's face!

Ruan Yu had empty hands at this time. He crossed his hands and reached inside his clothes. Two daggers flew out, delivering a fatal blow!

With a flick of his toes, he picked up another standard long sword that was scattered on the ground and pounced on Shangshanhu.

In this way, his identity and martial arts background have been completely exposed. This moment was chosen by him. He does not need to wait for the Queen's arrangement, so he naturally wants to prove his ability!
Another blow, just let me cut it again! Why can't the general fulfill my wish?

You lucky people are superior!

The spear was like a dancing dragon and phoenix, or an invading Shura. Uesugi Hu wielded it in his hand with great force. The folding fan flew away with greater kinetic energy. He only felt his arm go numb, and then he used his cultivation to infuse it to eliminate the sinister true energy attached to Ruan Yu.

He exerted his remaining strength and smashed the two flying daggers into pieces.

This is not a card game where one person plays one round. Everything happens in a flash!

Uesugi's mouth was bleeding, and he was not feeling well inside. He took advantage of the short break to shout at the people around him: "What are you still standing there for?"

These words were spoken to the remaining thirty or so guards.
In this small battlefield, not to mention the personal guards, even the surrounding Qing soldiers were stunned!
Did the Northern Qi Dynasty play so extravagantly?

As soon as the voice fell, people reacted - the fight continued, and the guards also rushed towards the center of the battle!

Their target was not the rebellious Ruan Yu, but
Uesugi Tiger!
"Hahaha, so that's how it is, so that's how it is!" Uesugi Tora fought bloody battles, and his offensive became more and more fierce. After exchanging three moves with Ruan Yu, he was forced to stop because his horse was exhausted and he had to kneel on all fours. He rolled twice on the spot, raised his leg and kicked a nearby guard away. His spear swept across, cutting five guards in half!

But the remaining guards showed no fear, and attacked together without fear of death. Not to mention Shangshan Hu, even Ruan Yu was shocked.
"What did the queen do to make these soldiers so reckless?"

Although Uesugi Tora looks ferocious at this moment, his body has actually become weak and powerless. The protective qi is no longer as strong as before, and there is a weak spot on his waist where the blade is not.

However, I don't know whether it was the desperate situation of being on the verge of death that made him rebound or it was more in line with his state of mind when he used martial arts, but for a moment, he was unable to defeat it and fell into a stalemate!

"What a great physique! Really, really great physique! Come on, let Ruan cut it again!"

Ruan Yu was already in a state of panic. The opponent's spear skills had improved subtly, and were already much stronger than his own. It seemed that Shang Shanhu had been holding back, and was close to the end of the ninth rank, and was about to escape his thinking range.
Why hasn't the poison taken effect yet?

Let me chop it again!!!
The folding fan flew back in a spin and was caught by Ruan Yu's palm, and pounced on Shangshanhu again. The guards who blocked his way were also hacked and killed by him without distinguishing between friend and foe, like a madman!
Both of them have bloodshot eyes.
Shangshanhu persisted for a long time, but he could not see any chance to break the deadlock. He felt heavy in his heart and had made up his mind. He would drag this group of people to hell with him even if he died! He suddenly let out a long howl, like a wounded lone wolf, crying to the moon, and exerted force on his feet, no longer defending with every move!

Another dozen guards fell down, and their lives were completely cut off before they hit the ground.

As the two ninth-rank warriors fought, the core of the battle shifted, sometimes jumping to the Northern Qi side, sometimes falling into the Qing army, but there were casualties everywhere!
The wounds on his body increased and Uesugi Tiger lost a lot of blood. He looked reluctantly in the direction of Uesugi Po at the back of the military camp, but in his heart he whispered words of apology to Sean; Godfather, I am incompetent and I am afraid I can't save you!
A huge force came from the ankle, and after a cracking sound, Uesugi Tiger's left leg was crushed by Ruan Yu. He was helpless and half-knelt on the ground with the gun in his hand, pointing the tip of the gun at everyone, showing a cautious and vigilant defensive posture.

Seeing that only Ruan Yu was left in front of him, waving his folding fan, he threw down the spear in his hand, took out the long sword from his waist and said slowly:
"Why do you want to kill me?"

Ruan Yu looked at him with a sneer, snorted, and responded as if she didn't care: "If you are angry with the queen, is there any other way except death? I have a friend who died miserably. At that time, he didn't even know that the queen was a grandmaster. I saw that something was wrong and told him not to be so impulsive! But he didn't listen."

"If you don't die, the queen will be unhappy. If she is unhappy, I will be the one who suffers. If you don't die, how can I take the throne!?"

Ruan Yu had misunderstood here. When he first met Li An, the latter was only at the ninth level of cultivation. Although he could be said to be invincible within the ninth level, he was not at the level of a grandmaster.

However, these were beyond Ruan Yu's horizons, so it was natural that there would be some misunderstandings.

Grandmaster?
Li An'er is a grandmaster? Hahaha, a grandmaster in his teens!
What is wrong with this world? Are people really different from each other, born different?

Shangshan Hu has practiced martial arts for many years, and his mind is strong and his cultivation has never been interrupted. He naturally understands that the road of cultivation is difficult, and the hardships are beyond the reach of outsiders. If it weren't for the guidance of his adoptive father in his childhood, the countless hidden worries during cultivation alone would have stumped 99% of the people in the world!
And what about the queen?

Who does she have to guide her?

According to Uesugi Tora's investigation, less than a year ago, the other party was still worried about his livelihood in the village - there is only one explanation!

Royal family! The little emperor and the queen mother!
What a good idea!

Not far away, a force of energy appeared in the whole place. The might was not oppressive, but it made everyone lose the will to fight. The Northern Qi soldiers were excited and full of energy, while the Qing army threw away their swords and surrendered.

The Grand Master has arrived!
Is Ku He back? It seems that what Ruan Yu said is true, and it can be regarded as confirming the identity of the Queen's Grandmaster. Otherwise, Ye Liuyun would not have been defeated so quickly.
Seeing that the other party looked at him but did not stop Ruan Yu from killing people, Uesugi Tiger knew that he could not escape today!
"Your Majesty is a man of great foresight and martial power. She is decisive in killing but also compassionate to the people. Uesugi Po is still useful. After I die, I wonder if the Imperial Master and Your Majesty can spare his life?" Uesugi Hu's face was calm, showing no emotion.

After all, he had expected this scene, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly, without even giving him a chance to redeem himself.
Ku He was chanting some scripture and he looked around the room but couldn't find the Qin father and son. A breeze mixed with a fishy smell blew over and he turned and left.

From beginning to end, he did not respond to any of Uesugi Tora's words.

Bang!
The swords collided, and the long sword in Uesugi Tiger's hand flew backwards. Ruan Yu closed his iron fan and stepped forward, crushing the opponent's remaining thick leg.

Half kneeling turned into full kneeling.

His hand loosened, and the standard long sword fell to the ground and stabbed into the not-so-hard ground. Ruan Yu stood with his hands behind his back, and the madness on his face disappeared. His expression changed from cold to gentle:

"In order to kill you, I have suffered a lot on this trip to Nanjing!" The image of an iron-faced judge flashed through Ruan Yu's mind, and he felt a sense of fear for no reason!
He glanced around without leaving a trace, as if the enemy could still chase him into the battlefield, making him feel terrified as if he was seeing a snake in the cup of wine.
He went to Nanjing City just to resume his old business, stole (robbed) some money, and invited (kidnapped) skilled craftsmen to make a set of jewelry for the empress. Unexpectedly, he met the Iron Judge whose reputation was growing!

After just two rounds, he fell into the hands of the opponent. That scene is still unforgettable.

He thought that he was doomed to fail in this life, and in order to shatter his beautiful dream, he wanted to die with a legitimate reason, so he used the name of working for the Queen and threatened the other party. Unexpectedly, shock and surprise often come so quickly and in no particular order.

The impartial and ruthless judge let me go!
He said: "Although you are working for the queen, you must also pay attention to the method and approach! Fortunately, you didn't kill anyone this time, and it can still be saved. If a murder case occurs, even if the queen is here, you will die!"

After saying this, he actually handed the banknotes on his body to me: "These are all the money of corrupt officials. After making the things needed for the queen, the rest will be handed over to the queen."

"I save it!"

“These craftsmen must be sent back too!”

"Of course, of course"

Too suspenseful!
Fortunately, I didn't pick up the business of killing when I returned to my old job, otherwise his death would have been in vain.
Another point!
Madam! You never told me that the Iron Judge was also your man? Could you have told me beforehand, just to give me a heads up? The tip of the Judge's pen was only a centimeter away from my throat at that time!

Putting aside his worries, he also vented some of his fear and anger during the fight with Uesugi Tora. He turned his head and said slowly, "I can't make the decision about Uesugi Po. Your Majesty hasn't returned to the camp yet. I guess she has something important to do."

"General, I still hope that you can regain your former unruly self, so that I can be more decisive when we take action!"

With the corners of his mouth raised, Uesugi Tora seemed to want to smile.

The current situation has nothing to do with status differences or lack of strength. Although the other party's use of poison is despicable, it is only caused by his own mentality.
It seems that my adoptive father had predicted right about me: I can only be a general, and never serve in the court!
The adoptive father understood this truth, but was imprisoned because of hatred; he himself did not understand this truth, and perished because of his arrogance; but his adopted son Uesugi Poshang could still be saved.
"I don't know what means Her Majesty used to convince these guards to betray so thoroughly."

Turning his head to look at the soldiers who were already dealing with the bodies and collecting the bodies from the battlefield, everyone seemed to be oblivious to the situation here, and they were moving the bodies swiftly. Uesugi Tora laughed at himself, "The guards who knew about it are all dead, and my death has nothing to do with the queen. Later, perhaps I will be charged with some crime and announced to the world. But, if I leave a letter saying 'committing suicide out of fear of punishment', perhaps it can save the queen a lot of trouble!"

The faint smile on Ruan Yu's face slowly faded, and he asked curiously, "You're willing to ignore your reputation for the sake of Uesugi Po?"

"Just for one Uesugi Po!"

Uesugi Tiger said in a deep voice, looking at Ruan Yu with eyes filled with nothing but determination and murderous intent!
Between men, sometimes just a glance can move their hearts and make them cry with excitement. Conversely, it can also be explained.

Nodding, Ruan Yu looked away and said noncommittally: "I will do my best, and the general's words will be passed on to the queen intactly!"

"In that case, thank you very much!"

I sighed in my heart, thinking that this time I have implicated my adopted son for the sake of my adopted father, so it’s not just a gain, right?

Oh, how can you tell whether you make a profit or a loss in life?
puff!
The true energy surged, and with one breath and one grip, he held the sword in his palm as if drinking wine, "Your Majesty! I am ashamed of the Great Qi, ashamed of Your Majesty, and ashamed of the Queen."

The sound was heard for miles around. All the soldiers who heard it stopped what they were doing, as if they were mourning for the general. After a moment, they resumed their actions and everything was back to normal.

However, the famous general of Daqi, Uesugi Tora, died at this time.

"Someone, come! Pack up Uesugi Tiger's body and leave it for the Queen to decide when she returns!"

Several soldiers came to Ruan Yu and collected the general's body. When they were about to leave, they were stopped by Ruan Yu: "Where is Shangshan Po now?"

"Major General Uesugi Po was injured in battle earlier and is currently recuperating in the rear camp."

The soldier said uncertainly: "The wounded camp is on the left side at the rear, between tents 7 to 9!"

"I understand. Thank you for telling me."

The soldiers were a little surprised, but they still bent their bodies slightly and got busy again.

Ruan Yu walked slowly around, took back his short sword and two short knives and put them close to his body, struck his left palm with the iron fan, looked in the direction of the wounded camp and pondered for a few breaths, then strode forward with determination.
He was going to kill someone!

He can handle these small matters himself, so why should he bother the Empress and make her worry?

The ninth tent of the wounded camp. Because Uesugi Po was injured before the end of the battle, he was moved here to recuperate. He was not treated differently from others because of his different status.
Inside, shouts were heard one after another.

This is what the collision of cold weapons is like. Either you die on the spot, or you wait to die with missing limbs. In short, these people are not considered tough guys in Uesugi Po's opinion!
Despite the pain in his body, after taking the medicine, Uesugi Po still fell asleep listening to the melody - he had to take the time to rest and recover, because if things went as expected, there would be a lot of fighting in the future.

I can't let myself be a burden to my adoptive father!

In his sleep, he only felt someone approaching him, and then his head felt numb, his eyes went dark, and he lost consciousness.

Ruan Yu held the sword in his left hand, and the tip of the blade was deeply inserted into Shangshanpo's temple. A faint whitish liquid mixed with blood quickly spread out on the blade and then became turbid again.

"I'm not breaking my promise, am I? I've done my best, so it shouldn't be too painful."

After shaking his hand to remove the blood stains on it, he put the sword back into the sheath. Ruan Yu clapped his hands and sighed: "As for passing on the message, I will wait until the queen asks or when I can remember it."

"talk later!"
