Chapter 99: The Old Man Guarding the National Gate



"Then...what about you guys?" Xiang Hua asked tentatively.

"Anyone of us can participate." General Pineapple responded arrogantly.

"Fuck you, you are being hypocritical, what's the basis for that?"

"Why? Why do you say that?"

General Pineapple roared, and the elite soldiers drew their swords again.

"Okay, okay, you guys are awesome, that's enough!" Xiang Hua sighed. If you fall behind, you will be beaten, and this was fully demonstrated at this moment.

The people of Big Pineapple Country are gearing up to show off their singing skills and bring glory to their country.

The people in the Big Melon Country all hung their heads, like weathered eggplants, old and wilted.

The old Prime Minister Gongsun Tudou calculated with his fingers and found that there were not many people over 50 years old who were still alive, and even fewer who could sing.

There is no way. In this era, the average life expectancy is short and living to 60 years old is already a long life.

Most people die in their 40s or at most 50s.

Except for the prime minister, everyone over 50 years old in Dagua Kingdom has already returned home to retire.

It’s really hard to find anyone at this moment.

"Prime Minister, can you sing?" The only person Xiang Hua could think of now was Gongsun Tudou.

"I...I can't." Gongsun Tudou lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

When the country was facing life and death and he was the one who depended on him to save the country and the people, he just couldn't sing.

well……

The emperor also sighed. His singing was okay, but his age was not right.

He is only in his thirties, in the prime of his life, and he also wants to show his abilities, but he is not old enough.

"Howl a few times and I'll listen." Xiang Hua was not giving up.

"All right." Gongsun Tudou sighed, "Ahem... the river flows eastwards, and the stars in the sky form the Big Dipper~"

Gongsun Tudou became more and more excited as he sang. He suddenly felt that his singing was pretty good, even a little nice. He might even be able to beat Big Pineapple.

When he finished singing, he couldn't wait to ask, "My dear Xiao Xiang, how was my singing?"

"Not very good!" Xiang Hua shook her head in pain. This was even uglier than Eunuch Liu's duck voice.

Every word was out of tune, and if she hadn't heard the original version, she wouldn't have known what song he was singing.

Gongsun Tudou sang out of tune and everyone thought it was his original song.

A hero song, but he managed to sing it to the tune of deep love and misty rain.

Gongsun Tudou suffered the expected blow. He was sad for only a second and then he put the matter behind him.

Xiang Hua couldn't find a suitable candidate and had to ask the system for help.

[My dear little melon, do you know that there are people in the country of big melon who are good at singing?]

System: [That’s a lot. ]

【What about people over 50 years old? Are there any? 】

[Host, aren't you making things difficult for this system? ]

So, you don’t know?

[What a joke! I am a famous little melon, how could I know anything? The emperor's mother is a good singer and her age is also suitable.]

Xiang Hua was stunned. The Emperor's mother? That must be the Empress Dowager?

She was just hesitating about how to talk to the emperor when she heard Gongsun Tudou say.

"Your Majesty, I recommend the Empress Dowager. She was a famous lark in her time."

Emperor Dagua did not hesitate at all and immediately sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager.

Everyone has to contribute to the country's security.

The Emperor understood this principle, and so did the Empress Dowager.

Soon a large sedan chair arrived at the execution ground. The Empress Dowager lifted the heavy curtain and walked down tremblingly.

Although she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, her eyes were cloudy and she was trembling with every step, as if she would fall to the ground if the wind blew.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager!"

Everyone in the Big Gua Kingdom saluted together. General Pineapple snorted. How could this old lady, who couldn't even stand steadily, sing?

I'm afraid I won't be able to catch my breath and it will be game over.

General Pineapple thought so, but he didn't say it.

Xiang Hua thought so too, she didn't say it, but her inner thoughts betrayed her.

[What the hell is the old prime minister doing? Is this the lark he mentioned? It’s over, it’s over, we’re going to lose this game again! ]

Everyone gasped. It was over, it was over. Xiang Hua had offended another big shot.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager glared at her fiercely, "You little girl who looks down on others, I will teach you a lesson later."

"Big Melon, what's wrong with you? How can you be the emperor? The foreigners are bullying us!"

The Empress Dowager came up and twisted the Emperor's ear and scolded him.

Xiang Hua rubbed her eyes. This little old lady looked half dead when she first gave birth.

How come he becomes lively again as soon as he starts hitting someone?

Even his speech was full of energy, not at all like a man in his fifties.

"Empress Mother, I am an unfilial son! Please come out and save the country!" The Great Gua Emperor hugged his mother, crying and sobbing like a tearful man!

He also wants the country to be prosperous and the people to be healthy, but he can't do it!

"Alright, alright, get up, I'll take care of the rest!"

The Empress Dowager patted her chest, full of confidence.

"Oh, little old lady, you have bad breath. Did you eat garlic and not brush your teeth?"

General Pineapple teased as he wiped his sword.

The elite soldiers of the Big Pineapple Kingdom also joined in the commotion.

"There really is no one in Dagua anymore. They actually let a 50-year-old lady guard the national border. It's so funny!"

"Hahaha, if the old lady with bound feet can win, I will stand upside down and eat shit!"

When the Empress Dowager heard these dirty words, her face turned ugly.

She turned around and looked at her good-for-nothing son, feeling extremely angry.

"Are you just going to sit there and watch as the foreigners bully me?"

The Emperor Dagua looked helpless. They were not just bullying people, they were trying to kill people!

If you lose, we will all die without a burial place.

The Empress Dowager held a wrinkled handkerchief in her wrinkled hands.

"A woman of the Yehenara clan will never stop. I want to take back everything that belongs to me! The foreigners have gone too far in bullying me! I, Yingzi of the Yehenara clan, solemnly swear today to declare war on the Great Pineapple Kingdom! I want the foreigners dead!"

At this moment, the Empress Dowager exuded an aura of nobility that made people dare not look directly at her. Although she was old, she was still radiant, and her eyes revealed extraordinary wisdom and majesty.

Xiang Hua was stunned. "Yingzi is mighty, Yingzi is domineering, Yingzi is amazing!"

The Empress Dowager frowned at first. She wondered what alien language the girl was speaking. She couldn't understand it.

But it sounds like a compliment, and it becomes more pleasing to the ear after hearing it many times.

The Empress Dowager never expected that after so many years, she would be standing on the front line against the enemy again!

She remembered her father's teachings. Yehenara was her surname and resisting the foreign powers was her destiny!

The people in Dagua Country were very excited and cheered along with Xiang Hua.

General Pineapple snorted coldly, "Oh, you old woman are quite arrogant. I advise you to restrain yourself, or you will have nowhere to cry when you lose."

The Empress Dowager: "I live to go crazy. I will restrain your mother. I will put your mother in Leifeng Pagoda!"
