Many ministers thought that General Sun was incredibly foolish to support such a young empress who had no power whatsoever.

But no one expected it.

Within those two years, this young female emperor executed treacherous officials, seized military power, and won over the hearts of the people.

A woman who had just taken power and had almost no influence or confidants managed to subdue the entire court in less than two months!

General Sun, who was the first to support the girl, was even granted the imperial surname and renamed Xia Zheng.

In addition, he was appointed as the Grand General of Expedition.

As the name suggests, it represents the conquest of the Azure Sky Kingdom.

At that time, all the ministers were waiting to see what would happen.

The Grand General Who Conquers the Enemy?

Now that the He Kingdom is eyeing us covetously, the Cangqiong Kingdom is lucky if it can even protect itself, let alone conquer anyone.

The following month, the Kingdom of He sent an envoy.

The envoy was very arrogant, stating that the Azure Sky Kingdom would only need to submit to the Kingdom of He if it was willing to form a marriage alliance.

Then the Kingdom of Azure Sky would not be trampled by horses' hooves.

As for the marriage partners, they were the third prince of He Kingdom and Empress Xia Liuliu of Cangqiong Kingdom.

In the end, to everyone's surprise, the young empress responded by having the imprisoned prime minister Yan Song send her a gift box.

The gift box contained the head of an envoy from the Kingdom of He.

The He Kingdom was furious and killed Yan Song, the envoy of the Cang Qiong Kingdom, and sent troops to the Cang Qiong Kingdom.

Empress Xia Liuliu of the Azure Sky Kingdom removed her dragon robe, put on armor, and personally donned the armor to take to the battlefield as the supreme commander.

An incredibly dreamlike thing happened.

The Azure Sky Kingdom not only repelled the invasion of the He Kingdom, but also pressed its advantage and used the war to sustain itself!

In every battle, Empress Xia Liuliu of the Azure Sky Kingdom personally donned her armor and took to the front lines.

After each life-or-death battle, Xia Liuliu's prestige skyrocketed exponentially.

In particular, Xia Liuliu's combat strategies at every step, achieving victory with fewer troops, can be described as the art of war!

Xia Liuliu wins every battle!

All the soldiers of the Azure Sky Kingdom were energized, willing to dedicate their lives to their emperor.

In the end, the soldiers of the Azure Sky Kingdom, whose morale had reached its peak, overthrew the capital of the He Kingdom.

When the king and princes of the Kingdom of He were led to the guillotine, they still felt a sense of déjà vu.

I can't believe it's all real.

They racked their brains but couldn't fathom how an unknown, pampered princess could have accomplished such a feat!

The royal family of He Kingdom never understood this until their deaths.

After conquering the Kingdom of He, all the male members of the royal family were killed, and the female members were taken into the palace as maids.

Many people advised Xia Liuliu not to do this.

Taking a woman from a fallen kingdom as a maidservant—isn't that just asking for trouble and inviting assassination?

But Xia Liuliu didn't care at all.

After that, Xia Liuliu displayed her ruthless methods again, spending half a year to clean up the entire He Kingdom.

The Kingdom of He and the Kingdom of Cangqiong merged, and the territories between the two countries were connected to form a new city.

Everyone thought that Xia Liuliu would give up.

Today, Xia Liuliu has left her mark on the history of the vast sky, and even on the biographies of emperors in Qianlingzhou.

However, this young empress seemed far from satisfied with the status quo...

Another year later, this young empress conquered two more countries.

Two years have passed.

The Kingdom of Azure Sky.

From that ordinary dynasty that was beset by internal and external troubles.

In a very short period of time, the territory expanded sevenfold!

"My dear ministers, speak up! I'm asking you a question."

Seeing the silence of the officials, the empress, who was not yet twenty years old, slowly spoke.

All the civil and military officials were shaken to their core.

Even if they knew that His Majesty was only asking for their opinion.

But they were still sweating profusely and dared not speak.

Not to mention, the current court is not only filled with officials from the Cangqiong Kingdom, but also officials from the other four destroyed kingdoms.

Moreover, the officials who remained were mostly elites, ambitious and driven.

Those who lacked ambition and aspirations, and only thought about surrendering and living off their past achievements, were basically all eliminated.

Therefore, they were worried that if they said the wrong thing, they would have to retire and return to their hometown.

The Azure Sky Kingdom is now so powerful.

If he were to retire and return to his hometown now, that would be troublesome; it would feel like he'd lost a hundred million taels of gold...

Today's morning court session was to discuss two matters.

The first thing to do was to change the country's name and then its title.

The second thing was to move the capital.

Every single thing is a big deal.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's achievements are unparalleled. You have unified the four kingdoms and named the country 'Xia' after 'Qian'. I believe this is appropriate."

A middle-aged civil servant stepped forward and made the suggestion.

Although he was a fallen minister of the He Kingdom, he had ambitions and was employed by Xia Liuliu.

"No."

An old minister from the Azure Sky Kingdom stepped forward.

"I believe that we should not forget our roots. We can take the character '苍' (cāng) and name the country '穹' (qióng), which means both the vast sky and the renewal of the past."

"Hehe! Your Majesty needs to integrate the four kingdoms and gain the recognition of the people. If you continue to use the previous kingdom name, it may not be appropriate for the people of the other three kingdoms."

"What's wrong with that? The other three kingdoms were already annexed by the Azure Sky Kingdom."

"With such a magnanimous heart, what great things could you possibly accomplish?"

"You brat, what did you say!"

"Fine, I'll decide for myself..."

Just as the officials in the court were about to fight, the girl yawned and smiled.

"The country is named Qi, and its title is taken from the character 'Liu' from my name! The capital has been moved to the center where the four countries meet, and it is called Yandu."

Xia Liuliu said slowly.

"Does anyone have any objections?"

"We have no objections." All the civil and military officials bowed.

"Well."

The girl's lips curled slightly.

"To celebrate this joyous occasion, let's send an envoy to the sacred land of Qianling to bring my brother over."

"Yes."

"Oh, right."

The girl seemed to have thought of something and added.

"And what about our Imperial Preceptor Su? Don't forget, I miss him a little."

Chapter 286 Supporting Senior Brother Su!

After more than a month of travel, Su Li, along with Qin Sisi and Yue'er, finally returned to the Holy Land of Qianling.

Yue'er needs to have her spiritual roots tested before entering the sacred land of Qianling.

When testing her spiritual roots, they will naturally discover that Yue'er is a fairy.

So Su Li directly bribed the guy in charge of testing spiritual roots, and then Su Li came in person.

If Su Li does it herself, then the problem is very simple.

Yue'er passed the test smoothly and then entered Shufeng as Qin Sisi's maid.

Of course, this is only a temporary peace.

As Yue'er continues her cultivation, her identity will inevitably be exposed, which will cause even more trouble.

Junior Sister Qin might even be blamed for harboring a demon.

However, every year, the Holy Land of Qianling will have a "list of demon cultivators who have been naturalized".

The "List of Demon Cultivators to be Assimilated" is entirely the responsibility of the Holy Son.

Therefore, as long as Mu Liu ascends to the position of Holy Son, it would be a simple matter for me to talk to Mu Liu and ask for a spot.

Let's get Yue'er in first and talk about that later.

After thanking Su Li, Qin Sisi and Yue'er returned to Shufeng.

Having not returned for so many days, Su Li naturally hurriedly flew towards Yushang Peak.

"Senior brother?"

"Sister Qianyun~ Senior Brother is back..."

As Su Li gradually approached the summit of Feathered Peak, Silver Bell twitched her little nose, then raised her head, her bright eyes seeing her senior brother flying over.

Qianyun, who was hanging clothes to dry, turned her head, and a very subtle look flashed in her eyes.

"Senior brother~"

Silver Bell happily ran up to Su Li and tiptoed.

Su Li smiled and gently stroked the girl's long, silvery-white hair.

Yinling squinted her eyes happily as her senior brother patted her head, and nuzzled her head against his palm.

"Did Yinling listen to Sister Qianyun?" Stroking Yinling's head, Su Li's mood inexplicably improved.

It's like petting a cat; as you pet it, your whole body relaxes...

"Yes, yes, Silver Bell is very obedient."

Yinling gently placed her small hand on the back of her senior brother's hand, which was patting her head.

"I'll go boil water for my senior brother to take a bath first, and then we can have lunch."

Qianyun came up, gently straightened Su Li's collar, and lightly patted the leaves off Su Li's shoulder.

"OK, all right."

There was nothing unusual about seeing Qianyun and Yinling.

Su Li confirmed that Mu Liu and the disciples of Qianling Holy Land had kept their promise and had not revealed the news that he had stayed in Dark Beast City to face danger alone.

Indeed, if Qianyun and Yinling had known that he had ventured alone into Dark Beast City, they would have insisted on coming to find him long ago.

After taking a shower and putting on the clothes that Qianyun had dried and folded, Su Li finally got to eat the meal that Qianyun had cooked after many days.

While eating, Su Li inadvertently thought of Junior Sister Qin again.

Then Su Li glanced at Qian Yun.
