Chapter 708 Today's Queen~~~
"I heard that His Majesty directly sent hundreds of Grand Masters of the End to accompany the army!"
"Bragging! Hundreds of them. How many are there in Daxia combined? How could so many of them go at once? Is it possible?"
"Then how did you do it? Even if Marshal Meng, Marshal Li and Lord Du led the troops in person, it took less than twenty days to pacify Goguryeo and Korea. And that's even including the time spent on the road. What? Do you really think the other side is made of paper? It's a country after all, not some village or bandit den."
"If they really dispatched hundreds of Grandmasters of the End Realm, it is indeed possible, but it is unrealistic. Not to mention where there are so many Grandmasters of the End Realm, if there really were, they should have first destroyed Mobei, the Western Regions and the Zoroastrianism!"
"That's why it's so surprising. How can I put it? What do scholars call that? It's like a dream. My son told me that. I beat him up. How dare you say such nonsense? It's okay if you just dream about it, but you actually said that the court issued an official document. How can the court say such a thing? It took less than 20 days to destroy two countries, but when you go out, you find that it's true. How can you do that? Storytellers don't dare to make up stories like this."
"Someone said this morning that it was fake, but I don't think it can be fake. After all, it was announced by the court, and I heard that it was the news that was brought back by Marshal Zong himself."
…
After the rain, the sky cleared up and there was no more rain. On the roadside stalls, groups of four or five men gathered together, discussing the only thing they talked about in the morning, the imperial court announced that "there will no longer be two countries, Goguryeo and Korea, and the territories of the two countries will be the territory of Daxia from now on."
In the corner of the stall, Xia Tingyu, who had a pair of fox eyes, listened to the discussion of these people, and occasionally reached out to help Wu Daming wipe his mouth.
Xia Tingyu listened with great interest, but her face was calm and there was no fluctuation. It couldn't be said that she was not surprised. When she was planning to take Wu Daming out for a walk in the morning, she learned about this from her subordinates.
In addition to this incident, she also knew that the people of Mobei had destroyed the Uighurs, but the latter was not important, the main thing was the former.
I was naturally surprised when I first heard it.
But the next moment, she chuckled and then still took Wu Daming out.
If something like this happens, you should go out and take a look.
So I brought Wu Dameng here specially, not to listen to these things, but I just like coming to this stall. It's not that I like to eat the food in this stall, I just want to come here.
The pair of fox eyes were very alluring, and as Xia Tingyu kept looking back and forth at those who were talking, many people drooled, and some scholars even wanted to stand up and ask her name.
It’s a pity that Kun Ling is beside Xia Tingyu, full of murderous intent, and no one is allowed to enter.
Wu Daming held a big bowl of noodles and while slurping them he looked at the people around him, blinking his big eyes.
There seemed to be some injuries on her neck, but it was not caused by Su Wan'er when they were dueling with each other in a sword-fighting match, but the girl was accidentally injured when they met in the world before. It was a minor wound and nothing serious.
The little girl gulped down a big bowl of noodle soup with a look of satisfaction on her face, but when she saw that the stall also sold wontons, she became greedy again.
Unlike Jing Yu or the other juniors, losing to Su Wan'er did not affect Wu Daming's mood at all.
It may have something to do with Wu Daming's personality. After all, a little foodie doesn't care about winning or losing. Fighting and killing has never been the way of life in the little girl's mind. She only cares about eating, drinking, having fun, and eating when she wakes up from sleep.
So even though she lost to Su Wan'er, the little girl was calm as usual. She grinned at her grandfather and said, "I can't beat him."
Then it’s time to eat and drink.
I can't win, what can I do? Crying is useless.
Xia Tingyu saw that the little girl was not full yet, so he looked at Kun Ling, and Kun Ling stood up and ordered some more wontons.
Wu Daming was very satisfied. He looked at Xia Tingyu with a grin and said, "Sister Tingyu is the best person in the world."
Xia Tingyu rolled her eyes at Wu Dameng: "It's only here that her mouth looks like it was covered in honey!"
Wu Daming chuckled.
Xia Tingyu looked at Wu Daming and said, "However, in terms of eating and being sweet-talking, you are really suitable to be the Queen's apprentice."
After saying that, Xia Tingyu thought about Su Changan, then reached out and pinched Wu Daming's face and said, "It would be better if she was a little cuter."
Wu Dameng rubbed his face and said confidently: "I am already so cute. If I were cuter, would others still want to live?"
Kun Ling was helpless.
Xia Tingyu even laughed and scolded: "The more I look at him, the more suitable he is to be the Empress's disciple!"
Wu Daming was confused for a moment, but suddenly he heard again about the destruction of Goguryeo and Korea, and it seemed to be new news.
It is said that the loss of troops and horses was also very small.
This is even more mysterious.
The war lasted less than twenty days, but two countries were destroyed and the loss of troops was very small?
Although Wu Daming is young, he actually doesn't understand these things.
However, when she was in the Beast Forest, she often heard her senior brothers and sisters talking about things like the King of Shu would rebel.
Hearing this, Wu Dameng turned his head to look at Xia Tingyu and asked in a low voice: "Sister, are you afraid?"
Xia Tingyu was stunned for a moment, but this foxy woman was so smart that she guessed what Wu Daming meant and immediately gave the little girl a slap on the head: "What am I afraid of? You keep talking nonsense and be careful not to get caught. I don't care about you!"
Wu Daming rubbed the place where he was hit, looking aggrieved: "I also heard that your father was going to rebel or something."
Xia Ting hit him again, then laughed and scolded: "You are talking nonsense about something I don't know. Believe it or not, I will send you to the government right now and accuse you of spreading rumors and slandering the prince. Then I will chop off your head."
Wu Daming looked aggrieved.
Xia Tingyu smiled and stopped joking. He said, "It's a good thing that the court has such an army. Don't think about those things with your little head."
Wu Daming said "Oh" and stopped thinking about it.
Xia Tingyu, on the other hand, looked at the crowd with his fox eyes. At this time, those people were still talking about this matter, but at this moment, the tone of the conversation had changed to "Our Great Xia is so powerful and majestic. If this news spreads to the Western Regions, Tubo and Mobei, won't those sons of bitches be scared to death! ? "Your Majesty is so powerful. We haven't expanded our territory in Great Xia for many years! Even the previous emperor only recovered some territory." And some people were saying something like "It is rumored that the army suddenly became so powerful that it could take down two countries in less than 20 days. It has something to do with the Queen." "First, the Queen shocked everyone in the world, and now she has become a god. Then there is this matter. I am about to cry when I think about it. Is our Great Xia finally going to return to its peak again?"
Some even whispered something like, "Do you think the King of Shu dares to rebel?"
Xia Tingyu listened with great interest, but he didn't seem to care at all about what these people said. He just listened.
Xia Tingyu's thoughts were never easily guessed by others. Just like in Shu, the King of Shu had a good reputation among the people, which was actually thanks to Xia Tingyu.
Moreover, in the hearts of the people, this princess is much better than the King of Shu.
A smart person should have restrained himself at this time, but this princess didn't care at all that her father would suspect her, and continued to do what she was supposed to do, just like she was guessing.
She doesn't even care about her brothers who are eyeing her as if she is the heir.
And this time, he was eager to send Wu Qinhu, one of the top ten people in the world, to the court instead of recruiting him for his father.
After hearing this, Su Wenqing and the others smiled helplessly. They really couldn't guess what this little fox was thinking.
But a sudden familiar voice made Xia Tingyu look in the direction of the voice.
I saw Xun Kuang, Yan Shu and Zuo Shaoweng standing in front of the stall, seemingly wanting to buy some food.
When Xia Tingyu looked over.
Xun Kuang, with a depressed look on his face, turned his head for no reason.
The four looked into each other's eyes.
Xun Kuang cursed inwardly why he met this person!
But Xia Tingyu's mouth corners raised, which is very interesting!
Xia Tingyu was not polite and immediately stood up and bowed to Xun Kuang, then glanced at the stool beside him.
After doing this, Xia Tingyu looked at Kun Ling again.
Kun Ling, who was not allowed to enter, immediately understood and walked towards Xun Kuang.
Come and sit down.
But I ask you to come.
The two approaches can be described as one.
Xun Kuang saw that he was depressed. He had just suffered a setback from the Queen Mother, so why did he meet this even more troublesome person when he came out?
And judging from the situation, it’s impossible not to go.
So after greeting Yan Shu and Zuo Shaoweng, Xun Kuang came to where Xia Tingyu was.
After seeing Xun Kuang sitting down, Xia Tingyu glanced at Yan Shu and Zuo Shaoweng, and said directly without being polite: "When I went out today, I felt that something good would happen, but I didn't expect to meet Xun Dasiye."
Wu Dameng was stunned while eating wontons. Didn't he hear the magpie calling when he went out in the morning? Didn't you say it was unlucky? He even corrected her by saying that he didn't like magpies, so hearing the magpie calling was unlucky. Why did he say it was a good thing now?
Xun Kuang blushed: "Your Highness, you are joking."
Then he looked up at the pair of foxy eyes and the sly smile, and Xun Kuang was sweating profusely. There was nothing he could do. He had to do this to talk and chat with this person.
Xia Tingyu chuckled and spoke directly: "I heard that Xun Siye didn't plan to participate in the literary gathering I wanted to organize at first. Did you participate because the Lord Jijiu asked you to?"
Xun Kuang immediately spoke up: "It's mainly because I'm too busy. Your Highness knows that I have to go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Shangshu to help out everywhere, so I really can't get away."
Xia Tingyu nodded: "That's right, Lord Xun is so busy, and he drinks everywhere. Compared to me, national affairs and drinking are the most important things. Alas. When I was a child, I admired you so much for your talent, but I was wrong after all."
After saying that, Xia Tingyu sighed again, looking aggrieved.
Xun Kuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, that's why he didn't want to see this person, but he still said immediately: "Tomorrow, Xun will definitely be there, and Yan Shu, Zuo Shaoweng and others will definitely be there too."
Although he said so, Xun Kuang looked at Xia Tingyu's aggrieved look, almost crying, and called out to him, "Your Highness!"
But I regretted it even more in my heart, I should have taken another path.
He was going to the palace to meet the Queen.
The reason for the meeting is actually not important, because the real purpose is to see if I can get the three poems from yesterday, even just one will do.
Before entering the palace, in order to please the Empress, I knew that the Empress liked to eat the mutton noodle soup and wontons here, so I thought of buying some specially.
How did I meet Xia Tingyu?
Xia Tingyu's expression changed instantly, and she showed a charming smile: "Then Xun Siye, will you write a poem? You haven't written poetry for a long time, right? You were trapped by love before, but now lovers are finally together, so you can write it now."
Xun Kuang immediately said: "The princess must have invited the queen. Since the queen is here, we won't make a fool of ourselves."
Xia Tingyu immediately said, "He refused and couldn't come."
Xun Kuang was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "This..."
Xia Tingyu looked at Xun Kuang's expression, then looked at Yan Shu and Zuo Shaoweng who were looking at each other with regret and helplessness on their faces.
So, he smiled and asked, "I heard that the three poems written by the queen last night were all unfinished, and the last one only had a title. But even so, it made many writers at the banquet dream about it. Lord Siye is thinking, if the queen were to attend, would she write it?"
Xun Kuang really thought so, and he had nothing to hide. As for why Xia Tingyu knew so many details, there were so many people participating yesterday, it was impossible to hide it. It was also because the matter of destroying two countries in less than 20 days was too big, so no one discussed it. Otherwise, it would definitely be another topic, and a big one at that.
After all, in this world, among all the literati and poets, only the Queen Mother has the ability to make so many people care about her with just two lines of poetry and a title.
Moreover, Xun Kuang knew that they were not the only ones who came to the palace to see the Queen today.
I heard that Lord Cao Shen brought some interesting things into the palace early in the morning.
Xia Tingyu smiled and said, "I think that even if the queen participates, she may not write it. After all, if she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to."
After that, Xia Tingyu smiled and continued, "And if I were you, I wouldn't think of buying some things to go see the Empress. If there are too many people, the Empress will be annoyed and won't write to you at that time."
Xun Kuang frowned. This was the truth.
Just by looking at Xia Tingyu, Xun Kuang discovered that this princess had only met the Empress many times, but she knew the Empress quite well.
Xia Tingyu looked at Xun Kuang. For the first time, her fox eyes moved away from Xun Kuang, as if she was afraid that Xun Kuang would find out something. But she still said, "But..."
But only one word was uttered.
Xia Tingyu was stunned for a moment and looked behind him for no reason.
There stood a girl in a white dress with a blue lining, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a green sword in her hand. At first glance, she looked like a female knight.
But next to this female hero, there stood a little girl carrying a small cloth bag.
There was also a woman without a knife on her.
Xia Tingyu's fox eyes lit up in surprise. The princess was not surprised by all the things she had just heard, but now she was surprised when she saw this person.
The moment Xun Kuang saw it, he could no longer sit still and stood up.
The "female warrior" wearing a bamboo hat also noticed this and turned her head to look over.
