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

The palace that was rebuilt after the last large-scale destruction had actually been remodeled. There was a small space under the ground, about twenty square meters, which was empty and had nothing extra.

Above the head, there were countless piles of wood, bricks and stones, burying the light.

But these things cannot trap a grandmaster, so why should Emperor Qing do this?

Just as I was wondering, I heard the sound of the machine vibrating, and thick iron plates emerged from both sides of the exit, closing at a very fast speed.

Li An suddenly realized that this was Li Yunqian’s ultimate goal!
He stamped his foot, raised his sword, and slammed a brick that had fallen down with him upwards, blocking the closed iron plate exactly, leaving a gap for passing through. He did not stop, as he did not know what unknown dangers there were here, so he had to break through first.

With a light heart, the two turned into a shadow and rushed upwards. Just as they were about to escape from the dangerous place when the bricks and stones were broken, they did not expect that the hunched figure of Hong Sixiang appeared before them.
He was extremely fast. He took only one light step forward and slid a long distance. He stretched out his hand and crushed the stone into pieces, allowing the iron plate to be closed smoothly.

It was getting dark in front of his eyes, but Li An was still full of momentum from his leap, so he simply slashed at the iron plate with his sword, intending to break the impasse by force!

Ping——

Only a spark was left on the thick iron plate, and it deformed slightly. However, the toughness of the material was far beyond Li An's expectations, and he couldn't break it with one blow?
In desperation, Li An returned to the ground.

He did not act rashly again. The extreme darkness even made it difficult for people to tell their surroundings. He took out a torch from the space and lit it. Li An was not too worried about the oxygen content below, simply because he would not stay here for too long.

There was a slight vibration above his head, and Emperor Qing stared at the ground with a cold expression on his face. He was seriously injured at this moment, otherwise the footsteps would not have been so clear.

Although he didn't know that sound was transmitted through the vibration of objects, Li Yunqian knew that the Demon Queen could hear him. He just said calmly: "Let's end today's farce here!"

"Although it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, coming to the enemy's palace to assassinate the monarch is truly a crazy act. It is beyond my imagination."

"But the consolation is that you are not alone. At least there is someone who is with you. With you. To die together."

It seems that the time to kill Emperor Qing has passed.

Li Yunqian is very smart, but he is as greedy as Li An!
If Li An had used all his strength from the beginning, Emperor Qing would not have been careless and injured due to the lack of information, and his retreat would not have been cut off and he would have been forced to detonate the explosives he had already buried; and with Hong Sixiang, a puppet who was willing to completely let go of his physical body to receive the domineering true energy, Emperor Qing would have been equivalent to two great masters fighting against the enemy together in a short period of time. If he had revealed this trump card from the beginning, Li An would not have chosen to fight to the death
Both of them were very confident at the beginning, setting traps for each other to fall into, and at the same time they also stepped into the trap of the other party.
After all, both of them wanted to kill each other!
Li An frowned, and did not respond to Emperor Qing. He just sensed something, lowered his head and asked softly, "Are you awake?"

"Ah."

Ye Ling'er was a little weak at this time. She broke away from Li An's arms. Before she could stand firmly, she felt dizzy and fell again.

"You've lost too much blood. Take this medicine first!"

He took out a Ten-fold Tonic Pill and handed it to Ye Ling'er. After watching her swallow the pill, he gave her a simple bandage.

After her condition stabilized a little, Li An then used all his strength to circulate the mixed true energy in his body. A green light appeared on his body surface, and he suddenly slashed upwards with a sword, which split into three parts and hit three places at the same time as if he didn't care about any consequences.

The silver-white light jumped and flickered, and the top was like the strongest barrier, leaving only a few deep sword marks.

Lee Ang is testing the weak points of the defense
He bent the long sword in his hand and stabbed it upwards again, still in the old position. Feeling the remaining recoil in his hand, he came to a conclusion in his mind: although this iron wall is more than one meter thick and has super strong toughness, the strength of each attack will remain and accumulate layer by layer. It won't be long before this natural barrier can no longer withstand it and bursts open!

"That's quite a big deal. It must have cost a fortune to build this iron cage!?"

above the ground.

Feeling the shaking under his feet, Li Yunqian smiled gently, as if not caring about his injuries, and said, "Have you persisted?"

"It really took me a lot of effort to set up this dungeon in a few days without telling anyone."

Emperor Qing also knew that this iron room would not be able to trap the Demon Queen for long, but his killing move was not as simple as just trapping Li An.
The surroundings seemed very quiet. As if afraid of disturbing Emperor Qing, Hong Sixiang walked silently in front of him, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please withdraw for a moment and go to the back to heal your wounds. I am watching over you here, so there will be no mistakes."

"No!"

Emperor Qing's chest was sunken, and there was a deep sword scar on the inner armor under the outer robe. The sword scar extended from his left shoulder to the right abdomen. The wound was red and white, as if it had almost split him in half.
However, these still did not affect his full-throated command: "I will wait here and wait for a result."

"The Queen of Northern Qi has come from afar to visit my palace. How can I not treat her warmly?"

Inside the basement, a dark, sticky liquid silently flowed on the walls around it. At first, the speed was a little slow, but after a while, it spread rapidly, filling up all the grooves on the ground, and gradually gathered towards the two people in the center.
"These should be stone paint, which is very flammable and difficult to preserve!"

With the flickering light of the torch, Ye Ling'er covered her lips lightly and cried out in surprise: "Quick! Quick! Put out the torch!"

"This space is so small that it only takes a tiny spark to completely ignite all of this!"

She thought Li An didn't know the nature and functions of these things, so she hurriedly reminded him.

However, Li An just shook his head slowly, and had no intention of extinguishing the torch: "It's useless. Since Emperor Qing prepared this thing, how can he not have a backup plan? Even if we don't light the torch, he will add another fire at the right time."

"Then what should we do? It's airtight here. If a fire breaks out, we will be suffocated to death even if we are not burned to charcoal!"

"What, are you scared?"

Ye Ling'er, who was a little anxious just now, was shocked when she heard the words, and then she calmed down completely. However, her calmness was mixed with a hint of heartache.
"I'm not afraid! What should I be afraid of?"

Tears suddenly flashed in Ye Ling'er's eyes, which were particularly eye-catching under the light of the fire. She bit her lip and said stubbornly: "Since His Majesty wants me to die, how can I not die? Even if I can get out today, I can't escape the guilt in the end."

"I just didn't expect that the person who wanted to kill me first was actually my eldest brother!"

A look of sadness emerged in her eyes as she recalled her elder brother Ye Wan's evasive look when countless arrows were shot at her in the crowd just now.

Yes, she was guilty.

It would be a sin to have rashly contacted the Queen of Northern Qi. In order not to bring trouble to the family that was already in an awkward and difficult situation, perhaps it would be most appropriate for her to die here today.
"But you shouldn't die here! You are the Queen of Northern Qi, of noble status, but compared to me, you are nothing."

Ye Ling'er could already feel the stickiness under her feet. She knew that time was running out. She took two steps forward and tightly grasped the corner of Li An's clothes. Her voice was once again filled with anxiety as she said, "How about you just give in to His Majesty! At least save your life. With how much the Emperor of Northern Qi values ​​you, I'm sure she will be willing to exchange you back at any price!"

As the saying goes, caring too much will lead to confusion. This was the only solution Ye Ling'er could think of with her little remaining rationality!
She really didn't understand the general situation, didn't know the true meaning of the Grand Master, and still wished that His Majesty would let Li An live, but she could understand that as Li An's woman, the Empress of Qi should be like her, willing to pay any price for Li An's safety! "You are really stupid, Emperor Qing finally gained a little advantage, how could he easily release the threat?"

As if responding to Li An's words, flames quickly ignited around the walls, and the dancing heat was rushing towards the two of them like fangs and claws, as if it had intelligence.
Seeing all her worries come true, Ye Ling'er was left with only despair in her eyes.

"Is this my end? I feel so ashamed of my father."

Ye Ling'er had also seen Li An take action just now.

Although he could cause damage to the iron wall, he could not escape in a short period of time. If he was not dragged down by this burden, I think he would still have a hope of escaping!
Thinking of this, she tightened the cloth in her hand and said in a hurry: "You are a grandmaster. It is said that grandmasters have unpredictable means and are not like ordinary people! This fire should not hurt you. No! It should definitely not hurt you!"

"Promise me, you will live!"

The fire was getting more and more intense, and the temperature in the room was gradually rising. If it weren't for Li Ang's true qi blocking it, I'm afraid that in just a moment, the two of them would turn into fire men. How could they have a chance to say goodbye?
Seeing that Li An didn't respond for a long time, she thought that Li An couldn't do anything about it.

Whether it was smoke or sadness, tears once again flowed from Ye Ling'er's eyes. However, in such a desperate situation, she straightened her clothes and smiled widely, murmuring as if she was both regretful and relieved: "Forget it, forget it. It would be great to die with you. Although we are not husband and wife in name, we are husband and wife in reality. I think I won't feel lonely even in the underworld!"

This smile seemed to be contagious, and Li An also started laughing.

"Do you regret meeting me?"

"No regrets!"

Ye Ling'er shook her head. She didn't know why Li An still asked this question at this point. "Not only do I not regret it, I also feel very lucky and happy!"

She looked into Li An's eyes and felt that the latter's eyes became exceptionally bright because of the leaping flames.

"This feeling is something I haven't experienced in 19 years!"

"Well, as long as you don't regret it, let's leave here first and talk about other things later." Li An said casually while scratching the ground with his long sword, "This Emperor Qing is really passionate. He's quite hot right now!"

"What?"

Ye Ling'er stared at Li An infatuatedly, and couldn't even finish her words.

"What? I mean, get out of here. Can't you see that I'm sweating all over? I have to take a shower later. I don't know if Doudou will be so mad at me for disappearing without a reason that he won't even leave the bath water."

"You mean we can get out?"

"Why not?" Li An's answer was a little strange, but his hands moved faster. "Why, do you still want to stay here and steam in the sauna? This hobby is not bad~"

Soon, a square door appeared under the feet of the two.

After checking once and confirming that all the corners were connected by sword marks, Li An put his arm around Ye Ling'er's waist, who was still in a daze, and yelled "Pineapple and Jackfruit" and rushed to the ground:

"Woohoo~~"

A flash of white light passed by, and the figures of the two people just magically disappeared in this space. If it weren't for some tattered cloth still burning in the fire, it could prove that all this was not false, as if the two people had never appeared here.
The door on the ground suddenly disappeared after new air was pumped in, and returned to its normal state. It must be that Li Ang disconnected the connection on the other side of the door.

The addition of fresh oxygen made the fire even more intense.

The crackling sound of the burning flames was like the fire spirits applauding and bidding farewell to Li Ang and the others: No, man, this is a miracle of resurrection?

This was not the first time Xu Chu had seen God.

But the arch in front of them was clearly standing there, and the building behind it could be seen at a glance, but the empress still suddenly walked out with a woman in her arms.
He might be ill.

I don't know if the queen will still use me as the commander of the imperial guards after she finds out that I have an eye disease.
"Your Majesty, are you back in the palace? It's still early at this hour, have you eaten?"

"Eh? Xu Chu, why are you here?"

Letting go of Ye Ling'er who was still in shock, Li An patted the ashes off his body and looked a little embarrassed. This embarrassing scene was seen by Xu Chu again, he deserved to be punished!
Upon hearing this, Xu Chu hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, I was just doing a routine inspection in the palace. I just happened to be here at this time. I didn't wait here on purpose."

Done!

With just one look, Xu Chu knew what the queen was thinking.
Having been with the Empress for such a long time, how could he not know the Empress's temperament? She was a person who could be found to have faults even if she had no flaws, and everything depended on her own will.

It was really my bad luck. It looked like the Empress had been on a long journey and must have encountered some troubles. But why did I see her in this state?

There is no need to guess, you will definitely be penalized for taking the left foot first!
"No need to explain!"

Li An waved his sleeves and interrupted:

"Go, tell someone to clear out an empty palace for this girl to stay in! As for whether I've had breakfast or not, it's only dawn today, and I've just returned from a trip, so where can I get something to eat?"

"You really have no vision at all!"

Huh? The queen's attitude seems to be pretty good, so I guess I should be fine.
Xu Chu quickly clasped his fists and saluted, then gave an order to the soldiers behind him before leading Ye Ling'er to her residence. He responded with a relaxed tone, "Please wait a moment, Madam. Breakfast will be served to you in a moment!"

"and many more!"

Li An noticed Xu Chu's leg that had just taken a few steps, and asked softly, "You took the left leg first, right? I hate it most when someone takes the left leg first in front of me!"

Xu Chu's body froze, his legs raised in the air, not knowing what to do: "."

I was still careless! (End of this chapter)
