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

Chapter 159: The Qing Kingdom was shocked, and the whole world was shocked!
The capital city of Qing Kingdom.

This place is located in the central part of the empire, with flat terrain and many roads connecting to it. It was once a political and economic exchange center for the whole world, but now it has become as quiet as a crouching dragon.

It was early winter, but the city was unusually stuffy.

Looking down, there is little life, like a quiet crawling whirlpool, swallowing up all the sounds passing by. The bustling voices of people in the past are no longer there.

The news that the war on the front line had stopped had spread throughout the country, and naturally it contained the most important information. The people in the city did not pay much attention to the three states on the border, but were full of curiosity about the name of the enemy's witch queen. They all looked towards the direction of the palace unconsciously, as if there were answers to all their questions there.
"I heard that the second great master of Northern Qi appeared in the world. She was a teenage queen. She was very good at killing people. She killed thousands of our soldiers by herself!"

"Who told you that? Didn't they say he killed tens of thousands of people?"

Various fast horses carrying news traveled back and forth between the city and the palace. Everyone was talking about it. A woman even stood in the crowd holding an iron spoon and smiled disdainfully, "Your news is already out of date. I heard from my distant cousin's eldest nephew's brother-in-law who is in the army that the army has already counted the losses. The Little Demon Queen killed more than 200,000 people!"

As everyone's eyes shifted to the woman, and they glanced at the iron spoon in her hand, she put her hands on her waist and smiled smugly, "Don't disbelieve me, two hundred thousand deaths is enough! Someone might ask, even if it's killing two hundred thousand pigs, you'd be exhausted to death, right?"

"But who is the Grandmaster? When he starts fighting, the mountains collapse and the earth cracks, as if the heavens are angry. It's so scary!"

It's not that these people are indifferent and cold-blooded, they can remain indifferent when countless soldiers of their own country are killed and injured. It's just that Kyoto is too far away from the battlefield, and they haven't experienced war for a long time. In the past, Qing Kingdom only had victories and never lost. If they failed once, it was because of the incompetence of the generals, and they could get double the return from Northern Qi next time!

The soldiers who died were buried on the battlefield for the sake of celebrating the country, which was a matter of great honor.

As for the grandmaster who is like a land immortal, he has one in Northern Qi, and we have one in Qing Kingdom too!

Just as the crowd fell silent after hearing this, a loud roar suddenly came from outside the crowd: "You bitch, are you going to have breakfast or not? Where did you go when you were cooking?"

"Bah! If I don't do it, can't you do it yourself?" The woman would not indulge her man. She waved the iron spoon in her hand and spit out a muffled word. The saliva flew everywhere, making the crowd subconsciously take a few steps back.

"You bitch! Do you think I haven't thought of that? But the iron spoon is in your hand, and you want me to stir it with my hands!" The crowd made way, and then a worldly-minded man rushed in, snatched the iron spoon from the woman's hand, and then walked towards his house cursing.
Seeing this, several men in the crowd secretly looked down on them: I thought they were going to fight, but that's it? How can a grown man have the nerve to make such a fuss when he has to cook at home? It's not that I look down on him, but the food he cooks may not be as delicious as ours!
OK, OK, there’s nothing more to talk about. I have to go back and cook. The tigress at home must be getting impatient, right?
On the opposite side, a carriage passed slowly. Inside the carriage was a man in dark purple clothes. He had delicate features and a gentle yet unruly look.

Who else could it be if not Fan Xian?
He listened to the people's discussions becoming more and more exaggerated, and they were somewhat demonizing the fellow from Northern Qi. He shook his head helplessly, but he felt a little heavy in his heart. Just as he was about to commemorate the lives lost, he heard Wang Qinian's reminder from the carriage in front: "Sir, in another twenty breaths, we may meet the second prince's carriage. How about we take a detour?"

"What do you mean? Today is the morning court session, and His Majesty has specially ordered me to make an exception and attend the court meeting. Now I am almost too late, and Second Brother still has time to stop me?" Fan Xian asked softly.

"The person coming here doesn't look friendly~" Wang Qinian controlled the speed of the carriage and gradually slowed it down. "In my opinion, we should take a longer route. Maybe the time wasted won't be wasted later!"

Fan Xian thought about Li Chengze's past behavior. It was not surprising that Wang Qinian's intention might come true. He curled his lips slightly and said, "Drive your carriage. With the Second Prince accompanying you, you won't be late. Old Wang, why do I feel like you talk more than before?"

"Ouch!"

Wang Qinian laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible, but he still approached the docked team with caution and responded, "I have been with you for a long time, and the closer you are to the red, the more you will be known."

This simple sentence made Fan Xian stunned on the spot. He even ignored the Second Prince who was waving and greeting him from the outside.

Wang Qinian was surprised. Did he say something wrong?
But since Master Xiao Fan didn't ask me to stop, then I won't stop.
The carriage slowly bypassed Li Chengze's team, and after it was out of range, it began to slowly accelerate and headed towards the direction of the palace.

Li Chengze's hands, like the smile on his face, froze in the air. He tilted his head to look at Xie Bian and asked, "Eh? What kind of illness did Fan Xian have? I'm just greeting him. How impolite."

"Maybe I'm not used to morning meetings yet. I got up too early and my neck is too itchy."

The cold-faced swordsman holding the sword was thinking about how to use the sword in his hand to chop off the head of the person in the opposite carriage.

"Too."

Li Chengze also felt bored, shook his non-mainstream side bangs, and returned to the car, "There will be a chance."

Two carriages arrived at the palace one after the other. There were also countless carriages of court officials with the same purpose. It was obvious that the scale of today's court meeting should be very large.
The main hall in the palace, Taiji Hall.

This is where the ministers discuss matters. Although it is also grand, it is a little smaller than that of Northern Qi. However, it seems to be of great importance because of the status of one person. At this time, all the civil and military officials have already been present, including the prince, the eldest princess, Prime Minister Lin, the wheelchair, and Fan Xian.

In the center, Qin Heng, who had just returned from the front line, was also there. He was looking around a little uneasily, waiting for His Majesty to arrive.

Above, four beautiful palace maids stood in a row, and surprisingly, Hong Sixiang was also waiting with his eyes closed, attracting countless people's attention. On the surface, he was the last resort of Qing Kingdom, just as outsiders had guessed.

"His Majesty has arrived!" Eunuch Hou's voice was heard, and all the civil and military officials knelt down.

Emperor Qing walked to the high and mighty dragon throne with a step that did not recognize his relatives, sat down, and asked directly: "Everyone, do you know the result of the battle on the front line?"

"Everyone in the government and the public, even among the people, are talking about it. It has never stopped!"

"Did you all hear it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a huge amount of pressure came upon them, making it difficult for the ministers to breathe. They all lowered their heads, and even their breathing became lighter, for fear of attracting attention to their presence.

Seeing that all the officials in the court were silent, Li Yunqian sighed: "It seems that you didn't hear it!"

He waved to the eunuch Hou beside him, who bowed and held up the battle report with both hands, came in front of all the court officials and read out the contents aloud. Although his voice was sharp but not loud, it was deafening in the quiet hall.

"Listen carefully and think about it carefully."

"This is the result of this battle!"

Everyone seemed to remember that they had gone out with their voices on, and turned to Emperor Qing to apologize, saying, "We are incompetent and have failed to obey the emperor's orders!"

In the crowd, Guo Youzhi gritted his teeth, and after asking for forgiveness, he was the first to stand up and explain: "Your Majesty, please don't blame us. This battle is not because we are incompetent, nor is it because the soldiers are afraid to risk their lives! According to the information I have learned, this defeat was caused by the sudden appearance of a demon queen in Northern Qi. This person is not very old, but has the cultivation of a grandmaster. She appeared on the battlefield regardless of her status, which is why we have the current result. It is not our fault!"

Emperor Qing glanced at Guo Youzhi calmly and asked, "News? Where did Guo Qing get the news from?"

"I was in a hurry and failed to explain clearly." He turned to look at Qin Heng in the center of the field, then turned around and saluted, saying: "The news came from General Qin. Now it has spread all over the world and everyone knows it."

Under the cold gaze of Emperor Qing, Guo Youzhi slowly retreated back to the line. After a pause, Li Yunqian raised his eyelids and faced the center of the field: "Qin Heng."

"I will be here." "Tell me what happened in detail. Don't leave out any details."

"Yes."

Qin Heng recalled the details, and then slowly recounted the battle on the front line: ".In this way, the Northern Qi Demon Queen revealed her true cultivation!"

"You mean to say that in a head-on fight, the little queen defeated Master Ye Liuyun?"

Suddenly, Princess Li Yunrui, who was kneeling at the lower left of Emperor Qing, spoke, but her tone was more curious than shocked and confused.
Qin Heng nodded slightly and confirmed in a deep voice: "One punch!"

“Although it was an unexpected attack, Master Ye was seriously injured with just one punch and retreated with spitting blood!”

It was clearly just a quiet voice, but it was like being uttered on the top of a mountain where everything was silent. Its lonely yet precise voice reached the ears of everyone, including Emperor Qing.

Li Yunrui's eyes narrowed, and even his tempting little mouth opened slightly, but the surprise and curiosity in his heart became even stronger.

Apart from her noble status, can a queen of a country really do the things of men with her body of a woman and surpass them?
This is the ultimate goal of the eldest princess!

Without relying on power or tricks, just relying on your own strength, you can make everyone in the world know and recognize you!
For some reason, the world-famous princess was extremely excited, and even the hidden hatred for Ye Qingmei in her deepest heart dissipated a little: See, no matter how stunning you are to the world, and no matter how many great things you have done to win the favor of the emperor brother, you are just stunning!

The Queen of Northern Qi stood at the top from then on, being revered, feared and shocked by the people of the world!
What is a Grand Master?
Looking at the countries in the world today, Ku He is by his side, Si Gu Jian has been defeated, and there is no news of Ye Liuyun's injury. Only Hong Sixiang in front of him has not made a move yet. In this way, the little queen of Northern Qi is the strongest in the world! Her reputation in the future will also be the highest, and she is faintly invincible!
Suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Li Yunrui asked softly, "What's her name?"

It was an inexplicable digression, but strangely no one came to interrupt at this time. Even Emperor Qing acquiesced to his sister's question at this time, and no one knew what was on his mind in his eyes.

Qin Heng didn't dare to answer this because he didn't know, or to be more exact, he was not sure.

"Li An'er!"

The content of what Emperor Qing talked about with Lin Ruofu and others in the study that day was not leaked, so the princess did not know it yet. The speaker sounded, and the wheelchair slowly came out. Chen Pingping, who was sitting on it, slowly bowed and answered.

"Li An'er, Li An'er. It's a good name." Li Yunrui murmured a few words, and then smiled like a blooming peony and asked Chen Pingping: "Could the dean tell me more about this person?"

Not only her, but also the civil and military officials were curious.

After all, this person is a suspected Grandmaster. No matter what kind of news it is, it is always a good idea to know more. Knowing how much he knows about this person can also help us arrange the future deployment and attitude towards Northern Qi. Soon, I am afraid that the two countries will send envoys to negotiate!

Chen Pingping glanced at Hong Sixiang, who was as still as a clock, and had a lot of guesses in his mind. His eyes showed a nostalgic look for his old friend, and then he explained the information about this person who might be from the same place as the young lady: "According to the news reported by the courtyard, the Queen of Northern Qi, Li An'er, is so beautiful that the monarch of Qi fell in love with her at first sight; she has outstanding talents and can win the approval of Zhuang Mohan and subdue all officials; her ruthless and clever means can make the Queen Mother of Northern Qi avoid the edge and gather power to control the royal business; and the most frightening force, in my opinion, is also true!"

"This is what Si Gu Jian said"

"."

His heart was extremely complicated at this moment. He concealed his guess that Li Ang was a man in his words. All other emotions in his black and white eyes slowly dissipated, leaving only determination to replace everything.

"Sigh~"

When the President of the Overwatch Council made these remarks, not only the civil and military officials in the hall who were listening attentively, but even Fan Xian at the end could not help but gasp.

You know, it was not until before that Fan Xian realized that he was at the center of the vortex. He wanted to gain power or wealth for the people around him and for himself, and to preserve his current happy and stable life and become a powerful official!
Unexpectedly, a fellow villager who was so young had already accomplished all his goals in secret. It was really terrifying, wasn't it? Sister, maybe she was some big shot in her previous life?
In short, he is definitely not an ordinary person! He is much better than me who has been bedridden for a long time due to muscle weakness.
Unconsciously, he began to admire Lee Ang.
As Chen Pingping continued to speak, a vague image gradually became clear in everyone's mind. However, no one could describe that extremely beautiful face. They could only cast their eyes on Li Yunrui, guessing that if the princess was twenty years younger, she would look like that, right?

"With such talents and means, the young emperor of Northern Qi has a good vision." Li Yunrui sighed, as if she was resentful why her emperor brother could not learn from others. Looking at the people around him, she fell silent after the words fell, and fell into her own thoughts.

"Chen Pingping."

"His Majesty?"

The emperor frowned. Although the title of Grand Master was terrifying, he, the supreme ruler, did not take it seriously. As for these martial arts masters who were above the world, one day he would kill them all.

He looked directly into the eyes of Chen Pingping in the wheelchair and asked in a cold voice: "With the ability of the Supervisory Council, don't you know the whereabouts of Uncle Ye?"

"Did he escape successfully, or is he dead?"

died?

Your Majesty, what do you mean? Since ancient times, there has never been a Grandmaster in the world. Since the day when the Grandmaster appeared, no one has ever been able to kill a Grandmaster!

Even among grandmasters, there has never been any possibility of this happening!

Why does it sound like Your Majesty is guessing that Ye Liuyun died at the hands of the enemy?

The court, which had never been truly peaceful, became noisy again because of this question.

The name of the Sword Saint Si Gu Jian is known to the world. After listening to Qin Heng's description, everyone guessed that he would appear there. It must be the work of His Majesty. With such a backhand, combined with Master Ye's ability, how could he fall into the hands of the two great masters of the enemy country just to escape! ?

absurd!

Do not believe!

Then comes deep fear!

Chen Pingping sat upright in the wheelchair and slowly closed his eyes. His cold and poisonous words struck everyone's heart once again: "None of the people I sent out to support Master Ye returned. I think they were all killed. However, the spy planted in the Qi army did send back a message."

"Not long after the Grandmasters' Battle, several earth-shattering noises could be heard from a very far distance. Add to that the vibrations coming from their feet that were different from those brought by a charge on the battlefield, and they came to a conclusion."

"Master Ye, I'm afraid it's going to be very dangerous!"
