The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 254: A few years later. (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

Northern Qi Imperial Palace, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Unlike her usual men's attire, today Zhan Doudou took off her hair crown and the dark gold robe she always wore and put on girlish attire.

Perhaps because she has been pretending to be a man for many years, Zhan Doudou, dressed in women's clothes, also has an indelible heroic spirit.

However, compared with the others present, although Zhan Doudou's appearance was pretty, she was far less charming than the eldest princess, and not even as pretty as the Queen Mother of Northern Qi.

This made the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, who was already worried that her daughter would not be able to please Mu Sheng, even less confident.

"Emperor, have you remembered everything the eldest princess told you?" the Queen Mother of Northern Qi confirmed again.

When Zhan Doudou heard her mother's question, she thought of the private matters that the eldest princess had told her last night, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He raised his hand and reached for the teacup on the table, but then pulled it back halfway and said calmly, "I'll remember it!"

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi knew what was going on as soon as she saw her daughter's expression. She was a little worried and instructed the eldest princess again: "Talk to the emperor again and find out what methods the Imperial Master likes."

"Yes, mother!" The eldest princess replied with a sweet smile, then moved closer to Zhan Doudou and whispered instructions.

When the Queen Mother of Northern Qi saw the two of them whispering shyly, an idea suddenly popped into her mind.

"How about asking the princess to help Doudou? Or let Doudou wear the dragon robe?"

As a winner who was able to stand out from the many concubines in the harem, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi knew very well what men like.

"No, no, this method is too low-key! It will only make the Imperial Master look down on Doudou!"

The Queen Mother of Northern Qi quickly threw this bold idea out of her mind.

At least not today!

"Squeak!"

The door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was pushed open from the outside, and Mu Sheng's tall and handsome figure stepped in.

"The Imperial Master is here!" The Queen Mother of Northern Qi smiled in surprise and hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"It's been a few months since we last met, and the Queen Mother is still as radiant as ever!" Mu Sheng took the Queen Mother of Northern Qi's hand without hesitation and praised her with a smile.

"The Imperial Master only knows how to make me happy. I'm already this old, how can I still be glorious!" The Queen Mother of Northern Qi took advantage of the situation to support Mu Sheng's arm and took him to sit between Zhan Doudou and the eldest princess.

It was the first time that Mu Sheng saw Zhan Doudou dressed in women's clothes, so he looked at her a few more times. Although she was not stunningly beautiful, she was still quite attractive to Mu Sheng because of her status as the emperor of Northern Qi.

It turns out that power is the best medical beauty, much better than rap.

Otherwise, how could so many beautiful women be vying to get close to those corrupt officials who are like fat pigs?
But Mu Sheng is different from those people. He enjoys the pleasure of conquering power.

Under Mu Sheng's undisguised gaze, Zhan Doudou felt as if he was sitting next to a stove. His body felt inexplicably hot and sweat began to form on his forehead.

"Your Majesty, I like your current look very much better than your usual attire. You can wear more clothes like this in the future."

Mu Sheng said this as he helped Zhan Doudou tuck her hair behind her ears and rubbed her cheek with his thumb a few times.

Feeling the warm touch of Mu Sheng's palm, Zhan Doudou felt his body getting hotter and hotter, as if he had a fever.

"It's easy to be seen if you wear it normally."

"So what if I saw it? I'll chop off the head of anyone who dares to object!" Mu Sheng said domineeringly: "As long as I'm here, you can wear whatever you want."

"Okay," Zhan Doudou nodded vigorously.

It feels so good to have someone to rely on. If possible, who would want to pretend to be someone day after day?
Upon seeing this, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi quickly glanced at the eldest princess, stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with in the harem, so I will take my leave first!
Emperor, you must entertain the Imperial Master well on my behalf!"

"Oh, I remember now. I made an appointment with Lili to go outing in the suburbs today." The eldest princess also stood up and said, "I haven't seen her for a long time. I was just about to hear her talk about her experience in Nanqing.

"Master Imperial Master, Your Majesty, I will take my leave first!"

Then the Queen Mother of Northern Qi and the eldest princess left the Palace of Tranquil Longevity together.

Zhan Doudou naturally understood why her mother and the eldest princess left, and she became more and more uneasy, not knowing where to put her hands.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng took her hand and placed it in his palm, and talked about what he did in Nanqing. Gradually, Zhan Doudou's mood calmed down.

Although his palms were still sweating, he no longer felt as helpless as before, and he could even rub them against Mu Sheng's palms from time to time.

After a long time, Mu Sheng looked out the window, and then looked at Zhan Doudou: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, I will help Your Majesty go to bed!"

'Is it getting late?'

Zhan Doudou looked at the still bright sunlight in confusion.

It was only the afternoon, and it was spring again, with long days and short nights. There were still two hours before dark.

"What are you looking at? I want to display the silver in broad daylight! Do you have any objection?" Mu Sheng said firmly.

Zhan Doudou certainly had no objection. In front of outsiders, she was the ruler of a country, but in front of Mu Sheng, she was just a weak woman who was powerless.

What could she do? She could only bow her head and say nothing to show her agreement.

So Mu Sheng picked up Zhan Doudou by the waist and strode into the bedroom.

"Your Majesty, why don't you reprimand me?"

"rebuke?"

"Yes, I have done something so offensive to Your Majesty. Your Majesty should use your majesty as an emperor to severely reprimand me!"

Zhan Doudou: ???

Let me scold him? What is the Imperial Master's hobby?
This item is not included in the precautions given by the eldest princess?

Zhan Doudou was a little hesitant, but looking at Mu Sheng's expectant eyes, he seemed to understand something and said nervously:

"How dare you, a rebellious minister, do such a thing to me! I will definitely give you a severe beating!"

"Just spanking? What about this?"

Zhan Doudou's face froze for a moment, and he began to stutter as he reprimanded her: "How dare you! I will drag you out, chop off your head, and lock you up in prison for a hundred years. You are not allowed to come out for a thousand years."

"My head is gone, what's the point of your Majesty keeping me in prison?"

"Then I'll detain you first, then make you do hard labor, and then I'll deprive you of food. When you're too old to move, I'll chop off your head."

"Ah! This is so cruel. I won't dare to do it again. If I stop now, Your Majesty, can you forgive me?"

"Humph! There's no point in stopping now. At most, I won't chop off your head." "Just not chopping off your head? Well, forget it. I'll continue! Your Majesty, be careful. I'm going to rebel against you!"

"Chu Ni? Not 忟." Before Zhan Doudou could correct Mu Sheng's wrong words, he was overturned by a wave like a tidal wave and lost the ability to speak.

Everything in the world has its own way. Mu Sheng has already comprehended many great ways. After comprehending the way of the emperor today, his immortal heart forged with all the ways has been taken a step further.

One day, he will comprehend more great ways of the heavens such as the way of devil, the way of monsters, the way of ghosts, the way of gods, the way of immortals, and so on, and become a man standing at the top of all ways.

After some reflection, to be honest, Mu Sheng believes that Northern Qi's way of governing the country is not as good as Southern Qing's policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom.

But the reason why he won was that the road construction was extremely noble and not something that ordinary people could build. And it was a new road, so Mu Sheng couldn't help but pave the road a few more times, laying a solid foundation for the national highway of Northern Qi.

"Okay, okay, then I'm relieved!"

Outside the Palace of Mental Cultivation, the Empress Dowager of Northern Qi leaned against the door with her butt sticking up, trying to listen to the noises inside. After vaguely hearing some low humming and singing, she stood up with relief.

"Now we just have to wait for Doudou to get pregnant with a dragon baby. Then I will be relieved!"

Then he looked at the eldest princess beside him and said, "Not only Doudou, you also have to work harder and give birth to a child for the Imperial Master before those women in Nanqing."

Previously, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi wanted her daughter Zhan Doudou to give birth to a legitimate son for Mu Sheng, but doesn’t Nanqing have more than a hundred competitors now?

She lowered her requirements and any woman from the Zhan family or even Northern Qi would be fine.

"I understand, child!" replied the eldest princess.

"As for those concubines, they can serve the imperial master after a while."

After giving a few more instructions, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi allowed the princess to leave. She stood alone outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation for a long time before slowly leaving.

Ten days later, Si Lili entered the palace and was crowned as queen.

Mu Sheng fulfilled Zhan Doudou's obligations as an emperor and made great contributions to the inheritance of the country.

A month later, the emperor and empress of Northern Qi became pregnant at the same time, which made the empress dowager of Northern Qi very happy.

Not long after that, the eldest princess also caused a murder, and the emperor ordered her to be given to the imperial teacher as a concubine. No one in the court objected.

Then, on a dark and windy night, in order to help her daughter keep an eye on her son-in-law and prevent him from running off to Nanqing to seek prostitutes during her daughter's pregnancy, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi, under the guidance of Mu Sheng, filmed a series of works called "**, you don't want to..."

She then deployed the large formation she had prepared for a long time, consisting of one hundred and eighty beautiful girls, which trapped Mu Sheng in Northern Qi for half a year.

After that, Mu Sheng traveled back and forth between Northern Qi and Southern Qing. Two months before Zhan Doudou was due to give birth, the women in Southern Qing also became pregnant one after another.

At the same time, exchanges between Qi and Qing became more and more frequent, and cooperation was carried out in many areas such as trade, military, and politics.

At the end of the year, Zhan Doudou and Si Lili each gave birth to a son, and at the beginning of the next year, the eldest princess also gave birth to a son. The Queen Mother of Northern Qi, well, the Queen Mother of Northern Qi was not pregnant.

In the autumn of the following year, Princess Lin Wan'er, Princess Sang Wen, and Princess Roujia each gave birth to a baby boy, and Ye Ling'er and Fan Ruoruo gave birth to two daughters.

In the winter of the same year, Emperor Qing caught a cold and died. Before his death, he appointed the prince born to Lin Wan'er as the heir to the throne, and the imperial teacher Mu Sheng took over the regent power.

Another year later, Haitang Duoduo led the Qiqing coalition forces to the outside of Dongyi City.

However, before she could give the order to attack the city, Si Gu Jian, the patron saint of Dongyi, opened the city gate with a group of disciples and surrendered the entire city to Haitang Duoduo.

Haitang Duoduo looked at the Dongyi City that was conquered without any effort and tentatively suggested, "How about we go through the process?
You guys resist for a while, and then surrender after I take action?"

"No, that's not good, it's not necessary!" Si Gu Jian refused sternly.

Not to mention that monster Mu Sheng, as soon as Haitang Duoduo arrived, he sensed the aura of the other party's grandmaster.

Counting Ku He, Northern Qi had three Grand Masters, accounting for three quarters of the number of Grand Masters in the world. What was there for him to hesitate about?

Why are there still four grand masters?

Is there really such a thing as luck? Is there only enough luck in this world for four great masters?
hiss!
Si Gu Jian suddenly felt something was wrong. If this was true, wouldn’t he be in danger?

"How about we have a fight?" Haitang Duoduo continued.

You really want a fight, not to kill me?

Si Gu Jian looked around vigilantly, but found nothing.

However, this does not mean that there is no danger. After all, he could not sense Mu Sheng's aura.

"No need for that. I'm no match for you. I surrender!" Si Gu Jian showed the decisiveness and efficiency that a swordsman should have.

"How do you know you are no match for me without even fighting? Old man, aren't you being too perfunctory?" Haitang Duoduo was a little unhappy.

There are only four great masters in the world, and Mu Sheng's strength is far beyond his own. Fighting him is like a child fighting an adult. If he doesn't give in, he can't beat him, but if he gives in, there's no point.

As for his own master, Ku He, who practiced the Tianyi Dao, he always felt that he was taught by a master who could not break his moves, which was meaningless.

So when she learned that they were going to fight the Dongyi, Haitang Duoduo volunteered to come.

But who would have thought that the little old man Si Gu Jian had no pride of a swordsman at all and gave in without even fighting.

"No, we have to fight!"

"Then hit me!" Si Gu Jian said as he lay down on the ground, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of being burned.

"Forget it, let's not fight anymore!" Haitang Duoduo had no choice but to give up the idea of a fierce battle.

Afterwards, he led his men to take over Dongyi City.

After she left, Si Gu Jian stood up with the help of his disciple Yun Zhilan.

"Master, why do you have to go to this extent?" Yun Zhilan didn't quite understand what his master did.

Even if Haitang Duoduo is a grandmaster, this approach of avoiding battle is too beneath the dignity of a grandmaster.

Si Gu Jian waved his hand and said nothing.

Ever since he witnessed the god-like battle between Mu Sheng and Wu Zhu that day, Si Gu Jian no longer felt that the Grand Master was anything special.

Can the dignity of a great master block the rays of divine light? Can a person survive after a big hole is torn in the head and his internal organs are burned?
If not, then what else is there to be arrogant about?
With the submission of Dongyi City, there was no longer the danger of war between the three kingdoms, and the people ushered in a rare period of peace.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years have passed.

The three former kingdoms of Qi, Qing and Dongyi, as well as areas such as Xihu, have all disappeared from the map.

What replaced it was a country spanning thousands of kilometers from east to west, north to south, the Great Qin Empire!

　The world ends tomorrow.
