Chapter 393: The Empress is more open-minded than the Empress? ?

Zhou Qianhong looked around Lingqi Pavilion curiously, feeling a little surprised, because the commander-in-chief was not the only one who came today. The commander-in-chief of the Shence Army, General Li Xizhi, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Shence Army, General Li Jinxiu, were also here.

Actually, Zhou Qianhong didn't know much about the Shence Army. After all, the Shence Mansion had always existed, but the Shence Army did not fully appear until after Li Nishang's incident. Zhou Qianhong and others also learned about the existence of Li Jinxiu, a martial arts genius like the deputy commander Yan Ruyu.

And because they didn't have much contact, Li Jinxiu's existence had always made Zhou Qianhong and other people in the Chixia Army very curious.

Lian Wei was also very curious. After all, he was only 25 years old, but he was already an eighth-rank master. This was actually enough to be on the list of the younger generation of Shuya Tower, and even enough to be among the top five.

But it has always been unknown.

but.

What really makes Lian Wei curious is this Li Xizhi, who is in his forties but has reached his limit!

Lian Wei especially remembered clearly that this person had only been in the realm for a few months, but he had fought against [Sword King] Cao Shang and was not defeated, which was enough to show how strong he was. Although he had seen this person crying and screaming after being beaten by the commander-in-chief with two swords before.

But there is actually a saying in the martial arts world, if anyone can make Yan Yunxiao use her sword for the second time when fighting against others, then he must be a master in the realm of the ultimate. In this way, we can know how strong Li Xi is!

Moreover, Lian Wei knew very well that if Li Xizhi's name spread in the martial arts world, Li Xizhi would definitely be on the list of the best masters.

Zhou Qianhong looked at Li Jinxiu who was standing in the yard with the deputy commander. Although this girl was a head shorter than the deputy commander in terms of height and had a body similar to that of a cat, just looking at her, she had a straight back, was dressed in red and white armor, and had a long and refined ponytail hanging down to her waist. She was like a spear, and her eyes were the tip of the spear, sharp and exposed.

Zhou Qianhong thought for a moment and looked at Lian Wei beside her: "What are your chances of winning?"

Lian Wei knew that Zhou Qianhong meant his chances of winning if he were to compete with Li Jinxiu. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "I've never actually seen her take action."

Lian Wei had previously broken through to the sixth level, the same as Zhou Qianhong now.

But Zhou Qianhong knew very well that Lian Wei, a sixth-rank cultivator, was very different from herself, so she asked this question.

In the courtyard, Yan Yunxiao sat casually, on the steps at the edge of the hall, leaning against the pillar, with a wine jug at hand.

Li Xizhi stood beside Yan Yunxiao, somewhat envious of the big sister for being able to be so casual in front of His Majesty and the Empress. She thought about sitting down as well several times, but she didn't dare to move, so she had to stand.

Xia Fengxiang could clearly see Li Xizhi's movements. He smiled and said, "Sit down if you want."

Upon hearing this, Li Xizhi immediately shook his head: "Standing is quite comfortable."

Xia Fengxiang didn't say much, just smiled, but he also knew that Li Xizhi was still thinking about his previous mistake which led to him almost being stabbed by the leader of the Qingyi Sect and even caused Su Changan to be injured, so he felt a little guilty, which is why he was more respectful to him than before.

Yan Yunxiao ignored Li Xizhi and just looked at Su Changan.

Su Changan held in his hand a pitch-black knife with purple patterns. The patterns were faintly visible like fish scales, but could not be detected just by looking at it. However, they sparkled under the candlelight.

The knife is still in the horizontal blade style.

Regarding the style of the sword, Yan Yunxiao came up with two options. One was a broadsword. Since Su Changan was strong enough, there was no need to worry about the weight issue.

And with Acacia seeds, there are two knives, one long and one short, one light and one heavy, which are very suitable.

The other one is a little longer than the acacia seed, and is in the style of a horizontal sword under the bright moon.

But as we can see now, Su Changan chose the horizontal sword.

Mainly convenient to take.

And Su Changan thinks it’s cool to hold a sword in hand!

To match my temperament as the most beautiful woman in the world!

Although this beauty made Su Changan feel helpless, he had to accept it now. After all, he was already a beauty.

Gently pulling it out, Su Changan looked at the blade in his hand. The feeling alone was different from holding it under the bright moon.

I don’t know how to say it.

Only those who use a knife can feel it clearly.

Su Changan picked up a piece of paper on the table, threw it into the air, and then slashed at the paper with a knife.

The moment he swung the sword, Su Changan's sword intent wrapped around the blade and slashed towards the paper.

The moment the blade touches the paper!

The paper was not damaged at all.

This scene seemed strange to everyone.

People who didn't understand, such as Xia Fengxiang, frowned, thinking that there might be something wrong with the knife. After all, it should have been able to cut through the paper in one go.

But those who understood had expressions of surprise, like Li Xi, who looked at Su Changan in surprise.

Especially when Yan Yunxiao saw it, the corners of his mouth curled up.

But the next moment!

hiss~~~

The paper couldn't withstand the sharp blade and broke into two pieces, slowly falling to the ground.

Su Changan looked at the paper that was broken into two pieces, feeling helpless. After all, there was still some distance between them.

But this some.

Like the distance between heaven and earth, there is some distance.

Li Xizhi looked at Su Changan and asked, "Did your Majesty figure it out yourself?"

Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Not really. Aunt Yan demonstrated it to me before, but I didn't understand it. But when Aunt Yan was fighting those two at the End, I saw that her knife couldn't cut through the snowflakes, so I had some feeling about it. But now it's still a lot worse than a tiger drawing a cat, and I'm deliberately controlling it."

When Yan Yunxiao was teaching Su Changan how to use the sword, he said, "If you can figure it out, it will be great. If you can't figure it out, it will be nothing."

The "enlightenment" here actually refers to how to use a knife.

At least that's how Su Changan feels now.

After all, sword intent and sword energy can be trained, but how to use the sword depends on one's own talent, and it varies from person to person.

This has nothing to do with sword moves, it's just about how to use the sword in your hand.

It was not until a while ago that Su Changan understood this truth and also understood why Yan Yunxiao did not teach him any tricks at the beginning.

Hearing Su Changan's words, Li Xizhi clenched his fist in front of his chest and raised his thumb: "Your Majesty's talent is amazing. Just looking at the move you just made, even an ordinary person who has reached the limit of tricks would not be able to do it."

Li Xizhi said this from the bottom of his heart, mainly because he was shocked by Su Changan's move just now.

Because, Su Changan reached the ninth rank in just half a year, which was actually scary enough, but now he even encountered this thing.

It would be impossible not to be surprised by such talent!

When Su Changan heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this also true for guns?"

Li Xizhi nodded immediately: "The fundamental principle is the same, but it depends on how it is used. Strength and speed all have their own rules. Take the Zoroastrian Dharma King I recently practiced with, for example. The two scimitars of that old man are extremely fast. When they are used, they are like full moons, both offensive and defensive, and impeccable. This is his own way of using the sword."

After that, Li Xizhi added: "However, Madam, don't think about speed and strength. Your strange strength has actually opened up a path for you. Now it depends on how you walk this path firmly. This thing is different for everyone. If you really follow others, you will easily drive yourself to death. Cao Shang is like this. He has terrifying talent, but he used other people's swords and drove himself to death. That's why he wanted to take other paths to break through himself. People like him are people who take shortcuts to get by, paper tigers, so people like me can fight him."

Su Changan nodded. He was no longer the one who had just started learning martial arts. No matter how straightforward the explanation was at the beginning, he was still confused.

But now that I've heard it, I immediately understand its meaning.

but

In addition to this, Su Changan actually had a problem, which was that he fought too little.

Even though Lian Wei, Ruyu and the others are on his side, Su Changan always finds time to fight them.

But after the last assassination, Su Changan clearly felt the importance of fighting against others.

Su Changan had mentioned this to Yan Yunxiao before in Qingquan Palace, but Yan Yunxiao just said, "If we let you fight with others, firstly, we will be derelict in our duty, and secondly, His Majesty will not allow it, so Your Majesty, just practice like this. When your injury is healed, there will be plenty of ninth-grade Huanglong Guards waiting for you."

Su Changan was helpless, but also understood.

So, after Su Changan put the knife back into the sheath, he said, "Can Aunt Yan arrange for me to try out the knife when I have time?"

Yan Yunxiao nodded.

Xia Fengxiang heard this and sighed helplessly. He was definitely worried in his heart, after all, swords and knives have no eyes, but he didn't stop him. He practiced martial arts before just because Su Changan wanted to practice, so he let him practice. Who would have thought that he would reach this level, and now that it has come to this point, naturally he also hopes to reach the limit.

Li Xizhi smiled and continued, "My queen, even if you don't use a sword, once you reach the limit, with your extraordinary strength and physique, you will definitely be able to stand on the top of the mountain of martial artists in the world. To be disrespectful, you, as a girl, stand on the top of the mountain of martial artists, with thousands of martial artists under your feet, overlooking the heroes. This will definitely make those martial artists unhappy. The best woman in the world is also the best martial artist in the world. I feel happy for you, my queen, and..."

When Li Xizhi said this, he noticed Yan Yunxiao looking at him, and immediately changed his words: "And, then there is but! You use the sword, that's even more amazing! Your talent, wow, you have reached the ninth level in two steps, and you have even touched the threshold of the end. It's just that this matter has not been made known to the world, otherwise, you are the peak of the younger generation, and you will be the peak if you stand there! Moreover, this time we go south, and we have just enough time to participate in the sword-raising conference. Your Majesty, take your acacia seed and this sword out, and there may be two more famous swords in the world! If you are willing, if there are people in the martial arts world who are blind to participate in the sword-raising conference along the way, I will hold a big flag and shout loudly, and you can kill them randomly. Just thinking about it is impressive!"

Hearing Li Xizhi's words, Su Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Xia Fengxiang even rolled his eyes. He was too lazy to pay attention to Li Xizhi's nonsense.

Yan Ruyu and others on the side looked at the commander-in-chief who could now be called a master helplessly.

Yan Yunxiao looked at Li Xizhi and said, "You said you were very tired these past two days, but I don't think you are tired at all. When you get back, play with me for a few rounds. This will be a good opportunity for everyone to see the abilities of a great master like you, and to hear your loud noises."

Hearing this, Li Xizhi twisted her face and looked at Yan Yunxiao: "No, sister, I just want to talk to the queen about the affairs of the martial arts world, or..."

When Li Xizhi said this, he shut up, mainly because he saw Yan Yunxiao had the intention to use his sword.

But I also realized in my heart that what I was saying was nonsense!

Does the Queen care about these things?

Or in other words

Why would Her Majesty care about what the martial artists of this world pursue?

With one order, I can kill all those people in the martial arts world for you. What's the point of pursuing the top of the mountain?

Thinking of this, Li Xizhi stole a glance at His Majesty.

He noticed that Xia Fengxiang was looking at him and smiling, and he didn't look angry.

Seeing that His Majesty was not angry, Li Xizhi breathed a sigh of relief.

But thinking about being beaten by the big sister, Li Xi subconsciously went to look for Maomao, hoping to ask for some medicine or something, but when he looked over, he found that the little girl was nowhere to be seen.

Li Jinxiu looked at her father and sighed, thinking that he deserved to be taught a lesson by Commander Yan for talking so much.

And it is also thanks to the generosity of Her Majesty and His Majesty for not blaming me.

Otherwise you will be in big trouble!

But at the same time, Li Jinxiu secretly glanced at the Queen.

She had not seen Su Changan many times, so many that she could only count them on the ten fingers of her hands, but every time she saw him, she was surprised and delighted.

Be it martial arts or anything else.

And every time she saw him, she would sigh and wonder how could someone in the world be so beautiful.

According to those people in Shen Ce Mansion

The beauty of the Empress is as charming as the moon, her thoughts are innocent, she is one-of-a-kind in this world, a banished immortal!

Especially in terms of martial arts talent, Li Jinxiu always felt it incredible, because there really is such a person in the world who is both talented in literature and martial arts, and looks like a fairy!

Su Changan put away the knife in his hand and noticed that Li Jinxiu was looking at him, and immediately smiled at her.

Li Jinxiu immediately withdrew her gaze and her heart beat faster.

Su Changan didn't say anything more, but took off the bright moon and looked at Yan Yunxiao: "Put this knife back to you, aunt?"

Yan Yunxiao shook his head and said, "Take them all. Although the Moonlight Sword is not a good sword, it has been used for a long time by you, Madam, and it is quite handy. You can throw it away when it breaks. Keep the other two swords for now, and think of them as an extra skirt-pressing sword."

Su Changan nodded. He didn't care. It was just a matter of having an extra knife on his waist.

Although the waist is thin, it is not so thin that it will break if cut too many times.

On the other hand, Li Xizhi said with a smile: "Sister, that is the Feng family's heirloom. It was once the third most famous sword in the world, and the Feng family still cares about it."

Yan Yunxiao said "Oh" without caring at all.

When Li Xizhi heard this, he smiled bitterly.

But if you think about it carefully, it seems to be just an "oh". After all, if you really ask the Big Sister to recall the incident of chopping off Feng Shayan, a female swordsman who was one of the best in using a knife back then, it is likely that the Big Sister would not be able to remember it.

The main reason is that there are too many people being chopped.

There are more famous people!

However, when Xia Fengxiang heard about the Feng family, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it the Feng family that defected to the King of Shu?"

Li Xizhi nodded immediately: "Yes."

Although Li Xizhi was confused, as the commander-in-chief of the Divine Strategy Palace, these matters were handled by him, so he knew them very well.

Xia Fengxiang did not ask any more questions. It was enough to just mention a martial arts sect. There was no need to say more.

Li Xizhi would not say anything more. Although the Feng family was powerful, that was in the past. Ever since Yan Yunxiao cut off the future of the Feng family with a single blow, the family has fallen into decline. A family without any ultimate masters is not worth saying anything more in front of His Majesty.

but

Li Xizhi watched the Empress finish her talk, and then he talked about the main purpose of his trip: "Your Majesty, everything has been arranged for you and the Empress to go south in a few days. I will be with you and be responsible for your safety. After all, it is a private visit, so there should not be too many people, but I still arranged for 3,000 Shen Ce soldiers to follow behind secretly."

It had been decided long ago that Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang would go to the south.

And Xia Fengxiang handed the case over to Li Xizhi for handling.

After all, Yan Yunxiao is too famous and attracts too much attention, so it is best for him to be their escort, so it would be best if Li Xizhi, who basically never appears in public, could be the one to take charge.

Moreover, since this trip is incognito, it can be regarded as a journey through the world.

It’s just right for the Shen Ce Mansion to handle the affairs of the martial arts world.

When Su Changan heard this, he wanted to ask how the three thousand Shen Ce troops followed secretly, but after thinking about it, he felt that he would know when the time came, so he didn't ask.

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Just arrange it. As for the time, we should set off in fourteen days."

Li Xizhi clasped his fists and responded.

This may not sound like a big deal, but it must be reported clearly to the emperor.

Yan Yunxiao is here to deliver a knife.

Li Xizhi came to report on the preparations for the trip south. As for the route planning on the road, it was not Li Xizhi's turn to arrange it. It depended on Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, so there was nothing to say.

It was Li Xizhi who asked Xia Fengxiang for help, wanting to take Li Jinxiu with him.

The reason is simple: he wants Li Jinxiu to meet other masters.

Yan Yunxiao also mentioned this matter and expressed his desire to meet him.

Unlike Yan Ruyu, who once wandered the world alone for several months.

Li Jinxiu has been in the capital since he was born, and has been staying in the Shence Army since he grew up, and has never been out of the house, so this trip out as a guard is the best opportunity for him to see the world.

Xia Fengxiang naturally did not refuse.

This was actually a very big matter and had to be reported to the emperor for approval. However, because Li Jinxiu was the deputy commander of the Shence Army, if he was directly arranged by Li Xizhi to go south, it would be considered as deserting his post.

It's done.

Whether it was Yan Yunxiao or Li Xizhi, they naturally left directly.

Just when I left.

Li Xizhi pursed her lips, looked at Yan Yunxiao, and then looked at the Emperor and the Empress with pitiful eyes.

Because as far as he knew, the only people in the world who could command Yan Yunxiao were these two, plus the great master Li Xizhi in the palace whose identity he did not know.

but.

Xia Fengxiang remained indifferent and turned a blind eye.

Su Changan wanted to show some sympathy, but Xia Fengxiang stopped him by putting his hand on his leg, so he ignored it.

The result was that Li Xizhi left pitifully with Yan Yunxiao, and Li Jinxiu naturally left with them.

Watching people leave.

Su Changan had never talked to Xia Fengxiang about going to the south in the near future. After all, there was nothing to talk about, and the two of them had talked a lot before.

Moreover, the Queen has important matters to share with her wife first!

Su Changan just patted his wife gently.

Xia Fengxiang turned around.

Su Changan took out the black knife and asked, "Are you envious? Isn't it cool? A black knife! And it has purple patterns! You don't even have it!"

After that, Su Changan said, "But I feel sorry for you, so I'll let you touch it."

As he said this, he brought the black knife to Xia Fengxiang.

Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes and turned his head away. He was too lazy to pay attention to this childish person!

You are so grown up, but you are still like a child!

Su Changan curled his lips when he saw this, then after thinking for a while, he walked to where Xia Fengxiang turned his head, coughed, held the knife, and made a very handsome pose: "Just tell me if it's handsome or not! Don't just be envious!"

When Xia Fengxiang saw Su Changan following him, he rolled his eyes again, then looked at Su Changan and clenched his fists.

Seeing this, Su Changan walked away silently in order to avoid being beaten, and then looked at Yan Ruyu, Lian Wei, Xun Xia and others.

When everyone saw this, they immediately smiled bitterly.

but.

Before Su Changan could say anything.

The cat, who had been busy doing something in his room since he came back, came over with a piece of paper in his hand.

Seeing the cat, Su Changan spoke immediately.

but.

He hasn't spoken yet!

Maomao gave Su Changan a thumbs up and said, "Very handsome, very good looking!"

As soon as the cat said this.

Everyone in Lingqi Pavilion looked at Maomao in surprise.

Including Xia Fengxiang.

It also includes Su Changan.

After all, normally, whenever the Queen looked like this, Maomao would definitely say something directly to make her sad. She had never praised her like this before!

Therefore, Xun Xia, Yan Ruyu and others all looked at the serious-looking Mao Mao with surprise.

Su Changan pursed his lips and touched Mao Mao's forehead uncomfortably: "Did you finally take the wrong poison and go crazy?"

When Maomao heard this, her eyebrows twitched for a moment, but she held it back!

Then he still looked at Su Changan expressionlessly, and gave her a thumbs up: "Your Majesty is very beautiful!"

Seeing this, Su Changan turned around and looked at Xia Fengxiang: "Mother, call Mr. Zhang over!"

Xia Fengxiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and looked at Maomao in confusion.

Su Changan looked at Maomao again.

The cat immediately said: "It's beautiful!"

Su Changan was helpless again.

But what was I going to say?

Su Changan suddenly remembered something, because something like this happened last time, when Maomao wanted to go home and Maomao tried to please him.

Thinking of this, Su Changan looked at Maomao and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me."

When Maomao heard this, he realized that he had been discovered, so he avoided her gaze and made a click of the tongue. But after thinking for a moment, he still looked at Su Changan with a serious face: "I just completed the task you assigned to me!"

Maomao handed the paper to Su Changan, saying, "And don't make it sound like I'm praising you only when I have something to ask you! You are the most beautiful queen in my mind!"

Su Changan looked at the cat, was silent for a moment, then took the paper in his hand and looked at it.

At the same time, Xia Fengxiang also came over curiously to read the content.

The content is simple.

There are three words written at the top of the page: leave request.

The content is.

Dear Queen, I, your personal physician Maomao, have decided to use the vacation you promised me to visit my sisters in Dunhuang because the weather is very good now and I have already got some things they really like. Please approve it.

From your most adorable and supportive medical officer, Cat.

Look at this leave application.

Xia Fengxiang was puzzled for a moment: "Leave request?"

Maomao nodded: "My queen said that if you want to ask for leave, you have to write it like this."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan.

Su Changan was helpless. In fact, he was just bored last time, and Maomao wanted to go out of the palace to buy something without him, so he teased Maomao and asked for leave by asking for leave.

but

It doesn't matter!

Instead, after taking another look at the leave application, Su Changan looked at Maomao and said, "It's okay to go to Dunhuang to see your family, but how are you going to go? I will arrange someone here."

Maomao immediately shook her head, then looked at Su Changan and said seriously: "Everything has been found. In three days, a chamber of commerce will leave for Dunhuang, and I can just take their car."

After saying that, Maomao took out a few packets of medicine from his arms, held them between his fingers, and said seriously, "And I also made poison for myself to defend myself, so safety is not a problem."

Then, Maomao unbuttoned his coat, turned out the inside and said, "I have embroidered many pockets here. The silver can be exchanged for banknotes and put them all in. It is also very safe!"

Afterwards, Maomao looked at Su Changan and gave him a thumbs up. His cat ears also stood up immediately, with an expression of "I'm awesome" on his face: "I've taken care of everything, so don't worry! You just need to approve it!"

When speaking, the cat's eyes seemed to have turned into vertical pupils, and its tail was wagging behind its butt, as if it was saying "please praise me" and "please agree to it".

Su Changan looked at Mao Mao like this and said helplessly: "Is this what you went out to do today?"

The cat nodded vigorously.

Su Changan smiled, then looked at Maomao and said, "I'm worried about you being alone. I'll find someone to go with you."

When Maomao heard this, he immediately puffed up his cheeks and looked unhappy.

Seeing this, Su Changan reached out and pinched Mao Mao's cheek: "There is no room for negotiation on this matter, and it doesn't prevent you from looking after your family. I'm just protecting your people."

Maomao pursed his lips in frustration, knowing he couldn't object.

"Dunhuang?" Xia Fengxiang looked at Maomao from the side, "Then let Ruyu go with you."

Hearing this, Su Changan, Maomao, and Yan Ruyu all looked at Xia Fengxiang in surprise.

Xia Fengxiang sat down at the table again and said, "As for Dunhuang, I have something I need to confirm. I originally wanted to go there myself, but time doesn't allow it. Since you are going, I'll let Ruyu go with you."

Maomao looked at Xia Fengxiang and blinked.

Then

Maomao walked up to Xia Fengxiang, bowed deeply, and said sincerely, "You are indeed more open-minded than the Queen."

After that, Maomao said seriously: "I will bring you a gift."

Xia Fengxiang smiled and looked at the cat in front of him. Although it looked serious, it seemed to have a pair of ears on its head and a tail behind it, which was swinging its tail wildly because it was happy.

Su Changan curled his lips, looked at the cat's appearance, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't stop you from going."

…

Xia Fengxiang asked Yan Ruyu to go to Dunhuang, actually to look for Zhao Wuxiu. The destination was not in Dunhuang, but it was just along the way.

The purpose is to see what is happening in the Western Regions and to see some things about artillery and muskets.

but

It's not just cats who need to leave temporarily.

There is also the Temple of King Xia of Yue, where Taoist Master Chen Xin is located.

This person waited for the court meeting to end early the next morning and then ran to Lingqi Pavilion to say goodbye.

Xia Fengxiang had known for a long time that his second brother was leaving, so he didn't feel sad at all. He just said, "When you find your eldest brother, ask him to come back and tell him that I miss him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin expressed his affirmative opinion.

Except for the dust heart.

The little guy Su Zhaoxin also has to leave.

However, Su Changan had known for a long time that Su Zhaoxin was leaving. He had heard from Su Wan'er that Su Zhaoxin wanted to join the army and this time he wanted to go to the border with his parents.

But Su Zhaoxin followed Su Zifan, and Hong Shiyi told him in advance when he entered the palace. According to the little thing, "I told him in advance that when I was leaving, I left directly, so that I wouldn't be reluctant to leave. We men don't do those greasy things."

Before leaving, Su Zhaoxin emphasized that Su Changan should not come to see him off. He really shouldn't come. I'm not being pretentious. He has already told his family about this.

Then, Su Zhaoxin asked Su Changan to wait for him to come back after he had accomplished great deeds.

Su Changan naturally didn't take it seriously. After all, it was nothing for such a little kid to accomplish such a great feat.

But she still nodded and said she would wait for him to come back.

And the whole capital

People left Beijing in an endless stream.
