One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 212
"Huh? What's the matter?"

Wu Lingzhao's expression changed, as if he had guessed something.

"About the throne."

Li Zhuowan sighed: "Queen, I don't want to be the emperor anymore."

"You child, why bring this up again?"

Wu Lingzhao was a little angry, "If you don't do it, who will do it?"

"You!"

Li Zhuowan said: "Is there anyone more suitable than you?"

"Wan'er, let's not talk about whether I can be the emperor, even if I become the emperor, won't I have to pass the throne to you in the future?"

Wu Lingzhao glared at Li Zhuowan, "Why bother? It may also cause turmoil in the world."

"Mother, you don't need to pass the throne to me."

Li Zhuowan smiled and said: "This emperor, you can keep doing it!"

"What is this called?"

Wu Lingzhao was stunned for a moment, and said, "How can I keep doing it?"

"You don't have to worry about it, I have my own way."

Li Zhuowan said: "As long as you are willing, everything will be fine."

"Ok?"

Wu Lingzhao heard the meaning of Li Zhuowan's words, and was taken aback, "Wan'er, at my age, my cultivation potential has reached its end, and it is difficult for me to improve my strength. Besides, I don't like cultivation."

"You don't need to practice."

While Li Zhuowan was talking, she suddenly took out a fairy peach and handed it out, "Take a look at what this is?"

"Isn't this a peach?"

Wu Lingzhao frowned, "What are you doing with a peach on your body?"

"This is no ordinary peach."

Li Zhuowan smiled and said, "This is Xiantao."

"Xiantao?"

Wu Lingzhao took Xiantao over and said, "Let me see."

"Mother, after you eat this fairy peach, you will be able to prolong your life, and there will be no problem in living for decades."

After Li Zhuowan finished speaking, she asked, "Do you understand what I mean?"

"is it?"

Wu Lingzhao stared blankly at this fairy peach, "It's so magical?"

"Yeah, try it."

Li Zhuowan urged: "Eat quickly."

"it is good."

Wu Lingzhao had been tempted a long time ago, without hesitation, he brought the peach to his mouth and took a bite.

Crunchy and sweet!

She ate slowly, chewing slowly, not wanting to waste a bit.

Li Zhuowan was not in a hurry, and just watched her eat from the sidelines.

After a long time, Wu Lingzhao finally finished eating this fairy peach and felt a little full.

Suddenly, she felt a change in her body.

"what?"

Wu Lingzhao got up and walked a few steps, feeling much lighter.

What's more, her sore waist and back didn't hurt anymore.

She walked to the dressing table, picked up the bronze mirror, and took a picture.I saw that the wrinkles on her face were reduced a lot, and she seemed to be several years younger all of a sudden.

"It's really a fairy peach!"

Wu Lingzhao murmured, looking at his face in disbelief.

"Queen, I have more here."

Li Zhuowan took out a space ring and handed it to Wu Lingzhao, "Look."

"and also?"

Surprised and delighted, Wu Lingzhao took the interspatial ring and scanned it with his divine sense, only to see that there were hundreds of various fairy fruits inside.

"so much?"

Wu Lingzhao was stunned, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

"Lu Qingfan's kind."

Li Zhuowan didn't hide anything.

"He can grow fairy fruit in the world?"

Wu Lingzhao was even more surprised, "He is too powerful, is there anything he can't do?"

"No!"

Li Zhuowan said with a smile: "Mother, after you eat a fairy fruit every day, your strength will increase a lot in a short time, and your lifespan will continue to increase. You can continue to be the emperor forever."

"Fortunately, you can figure it out. Is Lu Qingfan willing to eat this way?"

Wu Lingzhao still had doubts, "Didn't you secretly give it to me without telling him?"

"How come? This is something I discussed with Lu Qingfan in advance."

Li Zhuowan said: "He also agrees with you to be the emperor. Moreover, he has planted more than 300 celestial fruit trees. There is no end to the celestial fruits that ripen every day. You can eat them with confidence."

"Really?"

Wu Lingzhao no longer had any worries in his heart, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll accept it."

"Queen, you don't need to eat too much, just one fairy fruit a day is enough."

Li Zhuowan said: "Every once in a while, I will send you some fairy fruits."

"it is good."

Naturally, Wu Lingzhao would not refuse such a proposal.

Not to mention anything else, just prolonging life and maintaining beauty, these two points are enough.

Not to mention the ability to increase strength and other benefits.

"Mother, so you agree?"

Now that Li Zhuowan mentioned the incident just now, she gained confidence.

"What did I promise?"

Wu Lingzhao knew why and asked.

"Promise to be the emperor for me!"

Li Zhuowan said: "You also know that this is the best solution."

"Okay, I promise you."

Wu Lingzhao also figured it out, if she forced her daughter to be the emperor, her daughter would definitely be unhappy doing it.

More importantly, her daughter could no longer be by Lu Qingfan's side.

After that, the relationship between her daughter and Lu Qingfan will gradually fade away.

This is what Wu Lingzhao doesn't want to see.

The most important thing is that she is not so repulsive about being an emperor, and even has some expectations.

"Great!"

Li Zhuowan let out a cry of joy, put her arms around Wu Lingzhao, and said with a big laugh, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

She finally got what she wanted, and settled a worry.

From now on, she will have no worries, no restraints, and can always be by Lu Qingfan's side.

No matter where Lu Qingfan went, she would follow.

"Okay, you can accompany me to see Lu Qingfan now."

Wu Lingzhao smiled and patted his daughter on the back.

"Ah."

Li Zhuowan got up from Wu Lingzhao's arms, held her mother's hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

The mother and daughter walked out of Kunning Palace, holding hands and shoulder to shoulder.

Seeing the two of them coming out, Lu Qingfan jumped out of the carriage.

"Mr. Lu."

Wu Lingzhao approached with a smile on his face, "Why don't you go in?"

"I can be anywhere."

Lu Qingfan nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, escorting Wan'er all the way back!"

Wu Lingzhao suddenly bowed to Lu Qingfan, "This is what I should have told you seven years ago, and it has been delayed until now."

"It's okay, you don't have to be polite."

Lu Qingfan waved his hand.

"Okay, I won't say any more polite words, let's go in and drink tea."

Wu Lingzhao stood up and looked at Lu Qingfan with a smile.

"it is good."

Lu Qingfan did not refuse.

……

……

Royal study.

Lu Qingfan and Li Zhuowan sat side by side.

Several court ladies waited on the side.

"Your Majesty, Sun Hengyuan seeks an audience."

"Announce him in."

"Yes."

After a while, Sun Hengyuan entered the imperial study.

Li Zhuowan waved her hand, and the maids all retreated.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"Meet Mr. Lu!"

Sun Hengyuan lifted the hem of his clothes and was about to bow down.

"Don't be too polite, just sit down."

Li Zhuowan waved her hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sun Hengyuan sat down opposite the two.

Li Zhuowan's eyes swept over Sun Hengyuan's face, feeling his current strength.

Eight products.

Compared with Li Zhuowan, he is naturally much worse, but he can be regarded as a leader among his peers.

It should be no problem for him to go to Wuzhou.

This is the best candidate Li Zhuowan can think of.

Not only because of Sun Hengyuan's strength, but also because of Sun Hengyuan's identity.

He is a shadow guard.

Few people know of his existence.

Moreover, not only is he strong, but he is also good at concealment. He is also good at tracking, assassination, and investigation.

With him cooperating with Liu Xinran, Li Zhuowan felt relieved.

"Commander Sun, I have entrusted you with an important task."

"Your Majesty, please order."

Sun Hengyuan nodded slightly.

"Go to Wuzhou, hide your identity there, find a way to get in touch with Liu Xinran, the guard commander of the Wu Palace, and tell me that I sent you there."

Li Zhuowan said: "Liu Xinran will naturally know who you are. After the two of you meet, you and her agree on the time and place to meet and the way to pass the news. I won't say much about these. You are better than me."

"Liu Xinran is in Prince Wu's Mansion. She is mainly responsible for collecting evidence of rebellion against King Wu. After obtaining the evidence, she will hand it over to you as soon as possible."

"When the time comes, you have to pass on the news to me and make sure that you all leave safely."

Speaking of this, Li Zhuowan glanced at Sun Hengyuan, "Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Sun Hengyuan responded loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the task."

"it is good."

Li Zhuowan said: "You choose a few capable subordinates from the shadow guards, and go to Wuzhou with you. There should not be too many people, but strong and clever ones."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Sun Hengyuan nodded.

"When the time comes, you will send the news directly to Xielong Pass."

Li Zhuowan instructed: "I will be there in the future, don't go to the wrong place."

"Yes."

"After the matter is completed, you and Liu Xinran will go to Xielong Pass to find me."

Li Zhuowan thought for a while and said, "I will personally reward you when the time comes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you go down."

Li Zhuowan waved her hand.

"Yes."

Sun Hengyuan turned and walked out of the imperial study.

"There is one more thing I want to discuss with you."

Li Zhuowan turned his head and looked at Lu Qingfan.

"You say it."

Lu Qingfan nodded slightly.

"I would like to reward several courtiers before abdicating."

Li Zhuowan expressed her thoughts, "The official position is a trivial matter, the main reason is that I want to give each of these people a fairy fruit."

"It's a small matter, you can decide for yourself."

Lu Qingfan smiled, "It's just a few fairy fruits, which are dispensable to me."

"But to them, it is a treasure!"

Li Zhuowan also laughed, "How can I not discuss it with you?"

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, let's do it."

Lu Qingfan said: "There are a few people who really helped you a lot."

"Ah."

Li Zhuowan yelled outside, "Come here."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Several court ladies ran in.

Li Zhuowan said: "Pass down my order to let the king of Yunnan Li Xiuyuan and the general Li Jing come to Beijing quickly, I want to see them."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

……

……

a few days later.

Kyoto, Hall of Supreme Harmony.

early morning.

Li Zhuowan was sitting high on the dragon chair.

The ministers were divided into two rows and stood below.

Civil servants and generals stand in a row each.

"Xuan!"

Li Zhuowan waved to Xiao Qi beside her.

"Yes."

Xiaoqi took out an imperial decree and read it aloud.

"...The prime minister of Zuo, Shangguan Yao, is specially appointed as the Duke of Huguo, with a reward of one thousand taels, ten thousand taels of silver, three thousand households in the township, and a fairy peach!"

As soon as Xiaoqi finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion among the officials.

"Xiantao?"

"what is that?"

"Could it be a fairy from the heavens?"

"After eating, can you become a fairy?"

They didn't care much about the previous rewards, but this fairy peach really aroused their interest.

At this moment, a little court lady walked up to Shangguan Yao with a tray in both hands.

There is a fairy peach in the tray.

"Master Shangguan, this is the fairy peach that His Majesty bestowed upon you. It will be the best if you eat it now."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Yao picked up the peach and ate it in front of everyone.

He ate slowly and carefully.

All the ministers were staring at Shangguan Yao.

The little maid was also waiting at the side, and when Shangguan Yao finished eating the fairy peach, the little maid smiled and said, "Master Shangguan, please put the peach pit here."

"it is good."

Shangguan Yao put the peach pits on the tray, and the little maid turned and left.

"what?"

Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Master Shangguan, why have you become younger?"

"is it?"

Shangguan Yao touched his face, the skin was indeed much smoother, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be much less.

"Yes."

"I think you are ten years younger."

"Amazing."

"Is this the effect of Xiantao?"

Everyone's eyes turned on Shangguan Yao's face, and their eyes were full of envy.

At this time, Xiaoqi's voice sounded again.

"...General Li Jing is appointed as the Lord of the Town, with a reward of one thousand taels, ten thousand taels of silver, three thousand households in the city, and a fairy peach!"

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Li Jing quickly thanked him.

He was extremely excited at this moment, especially after seeing the effect of Xiantao, he couldn't wait to eat a Xiantao.

Recently, he often thinks that if he can be younger than a teenager, he is willing to trade all his current fame and status.

Unexpectedly, not only has he realized it now, but he has not paid anything, and he has even gained more fame.

How could this make him not overjoyed?
"General Li, this is Xiantao, you can eat it now."

The little maid came to Li Jing with a tray and offered the fairy peach.

"it is good."

Li Jing picked up the peach and ate it into his mouth without hesitation.

He ate very quickly, and he finished one peach without even savoring the taste of the peach.

The little maid collected the peach pits, turned around and left.

Li Jing touched his face, immediately overjoyed.

Then he felt his body again, and he was even more delighted.

Very good!
He felt that he had returned to more than ten years ago, and turned back into the invincible military god!
"Congratulations, General Lee!"

"General Lee is 20 years younger."

Everyone congratulated Li Jing one after another, with envy in their eyes.

They also wanted such a reward.

But will it be their turn?
"...Wei Zhe, the censor Zhongcheng, is specially appointed as the Marquis of An Guo, with a reward of one thousand taels, ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand households in the food town, and one fairy fruit!"

Following Xiaoqi's voice, the little maid came to Wei Zhe with a tray.

In the tray is a fairy fruit.

"Master Wei, please."

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Wei Zhe picked up the fairy fruit and ate it in a few mouthfuls.

"Congratulations, Master Wei!"

"Congratulations, Master Wei!"

Amid the congratulations from everyone, Wei Zhe was in a good mood.

"Thank you all!"
