I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 659: The Queen Who Surprised Another Ten People in the World
The capital city was unusually bustling, with people coming and going, people from the martial arts world and the Western Regions, all flocking there, all coming for the world that was about to begin.

Firstly, they come to join in the fun and see something new; secondly, many people see the business here and want to give it a try.

Finally, there are the people from the martial arts world. They naturally come for the martial arts competition, and they have heard that the Queen Mother will make an appearance at the competition, which is a rare sight, even rarer than seeing other people from the martial arts world, so of course they will come to see this great opportunity.

Anyway, you can see all the scenery without spending a penny.

If you don’t see it, you won’t see it.

At the gate of the capital city, Xia Tingyu was accompanied by Kun Ling and an old man with curly beard.

Xia Tingyu was still charming as always. Her foxy eyes swept over many men, and just now a young swordsman was fooled. When he was peeking at Xia Tingyu, he bumped his head against a roadside pillar.

Xia Tingyu smiled sweetly at this and thought that the capital was still the better place. But as she glanced around, she felt that it was much more lively than Shudu.

Just as Xia Tingyu was about to leave, she noticed Kun Ling's gaze and looked back, only to find that the ten greatest people in the world whom she had spent so much effort to invite were standing at the city gate.

He already had a curly beard and his arms were bare, with strong muscles that were particularly noticeable. His arms were also covered with tattoos of tigers, leopards, wolves and bears. He looked very rough, or rather too rough. He was unique even among the people in the martial arts world, so naturally people would look at him a few more times.

However, Xia Tingyu didn't care about the gazes of the people around her. Instead, she looked at the old man curiously, and then looked at the little girl with a bun on her head and wearing black and white clothes beside the old man.

The little girl, about thirteen or fourteen years old, shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what was wrong.

The old man looked solemn, and slowly opened his eyes to look at Xia Tingyu: "Those people are really all here, and there are more than them. So many people have gathered in the capital. You asked me to protect you to the capital, are you hiding something from me?"

Xia Tingyu knew who the old man was talking about, and immediately said, "It was because I didn't know if anything would happen that I asked you to accompany me to the capital."

The old man ignored Xia Tingyu, but his face became serious. Then his eyes flashed and he took a step forward.

Others took a simple step, and when the old man stepped down, even the air seemed to become heavier, and a small gust of wind suddenly appeared under the old man's feet, blowing up the sand on the stone road.

Everyone around realized something was wrong, but because it disappeared so quickly, they just looked around in confusion and then went about their own business.

Wu Qinhu, one of the ten people in the world with the title of [Beast King], lost his solemn expression and turned to look at Xia Tingyu: "Let's go, it's okay. Let's go eat something. You told me a lot along the way."

Xia Tingyu pursed her lips lightly, put her hands behind her back, jumped to Wu Qinhu's side, leaned forward and tilted her head to look back at the old man: "Senior, was someone testing you just now?"

Wu Qinhu looked at Xia Tingyu, especially at her playful face. He was sure that with this girl's intelligence, she was well aware that there were many people watching her since she came to the capital, but she was still so relaxed. Wu Qinhu couldn't help but sigh again at her mentality at such a young age. She really deserved to be from an imperial family.

Wu Qinhu said, "Yu Taohua just greeted me, it's nothing."

Xia Tingyu was a little disappointed because she wanted to hear something more amazing, such as preventing Senior Wu from entering the capital.

After all, this was a meeting of ten people from all over the world, so Xia Tingyu naturally wanted to have some fun.

Wu Qinhu could see the disappointment on Xia Tingyu's face. This little fox was by his side the whole time, and sometimes his words and actions were all setting traps for him.

But Wu Qinhu was already quite old, so he could naturally see that these were just some fun things to kill time, so he didn't bother with the little girl.

However, seeing Xia Tingyu's disappointed face, Wu Qinhu said, "I have no enmity with these people, so there is no reason for them to stop me. Besides, Yan Yunxiao still owes me a favor, so naturally he doesn't want to do anything to me. It's just that I don't get along with Liu Xuer and Luo Changfeng, but Liu Xuer has a good temper, so her disagreement won't lead to a fight with me. I would like to ask Luo Changfeng, but he's a cripple now, so there's no reason for me to do it. It's just that the old poisoner from the Guxian Sect and the great shaman in Mobei, I have a martial arts competition with them, so I would fight directly if I met them, but they are not here, so I won't fight with anyone."

As for the grudges in the martial arts world, the higher you go, the less important they are. Unless it is a huge grudge, when ten people meet, at most they will fight each other, and then sit at a table to drink again.

At worst, they will just turn around and leave. There will be no life-and-death struggle. If there is, they will be killed completely. They will have no enemies left, otherwise they would not have stayed in their own territory.

Xia Tingyu nodded after hearing this. She didn't seem disappointed. She just looked down at the little girl and said, "Big Mengzi, sister will take you to eat something delicious?"

The little girl named Wu Daming, who is Wu Qinhu's granddaughter, nodded vigorously. She had been enduring all the way and listened to Sister Tingyu talking about the delicious food in the capital. She couldn't wait to try it.

In fact, Wu Daming was originally Wu Dameng, which was given by his father. Wu Qinhu was in seclusion at that time. When he came out, he heard that his granddaughter was called this name. He immediately got angry and changed the name to the current Meng.

Xia Tingyu stretched out her hand, and Da Mengzi naturally held it.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Wu Qinhu felt somewhat relieved, but he glanced at Xia Tingyu and sighed again, thinking how great it would be if he had not been born in the Shu King's family.

But at this time, Wu Qinhu's expression froze and he looked at a scholar just in front of him.

The scholar was also looking at him with a gentle smile.

Kun Ling was originally thinking about catching up with his young lady, but when he noticed this scholar, Kun Ling's expression suddenly changed.

The person in front of me is indeed a scholar, but he is a scholar of limited ability.

In the martial arts world, it is better to meet a ferocious man than to meet a scholar who mingles with the people, because it is not the way a gentleman should use words rather than fists. Those scholars will use both words and fists to attack you.

Wu Qinhu waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It would be strange if no one came to find me when I got to the capital."

Hearing this, Kun Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Xia Tingyu naturally noticed the scholar at this time. While looking at him, Hu'er smiled softly: "Senior, you were sent by Commander Yan to find Senior Wu, right? I won't let you come to my door like this."

But after saying that, Xia Tingyu narrowed her eyes and smiled sweetly: "However, should I call you senior or uncle-master?"

The middle-aged scholar smiled. When he heard his junior fellow apprentice say that he had accepted an apprentice, he was actually a little surprised. His junior fellow apprentice was so talented and intelligent that he had always wanted to meet the only person in the world who would be so talented as to accept him as an apprentice.

Now that I see him, he is smarter than his apprentice.

At least just seeing how calm I am, my apprentice needs to learn from me.

His identity can be recognized by the white magatama hanging around his waist. His junior brother also has one, but it is black. One black and one white. These are the light and dark ornaments of the Yi Zixuan sect leader.

He didn't think about hiding his identity in front of Xia Tingyu. After all, there were thirteen of them, and the current emperor didn't think of keeping them in the dark.

Zhuge Jia, the master of Yizixuan, who is also one of the thirteen left and right guards, Bai Ze, smiled and took out a short knife from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Tingyu: "I heard from my junior brother that you like to use short knives. This knife is called Yilan. It is my gift. When you have time in the future, go to Yizixuan to meet your master, and maybe you can find a gift for him."

After saying that, Zhuge Jia smiled and said, "If your master doesn't give it to you, you have to ask for it. Be frank, otherwise he likes to play dumb the most."

Xia Tingyu was not polite at all. After saying "Okay", he took the knife in his hand.

But looking at Zhuge Jia, Xia Tingyu lowered his head to look at the girl: "Big Mengzi, do you want to eat mutton soup with steamed buns? Even though that place is a roadside stall, it tastes delicious."

Da Mengzi's saliva was about to flow out, and she nodded vigorously. She was willing to eat anything. She was not picky about food. Even if she was thrown into the mountains, Da Mengzi could walk out safely while eating grass and holding a fish in her hands.

Zhuge Jia smiled.

Xia Tingyu immediately said, "Shall we go over there and reserve a good seat for you two?"

Zhuge Jia nodded, but did not approve of Xia Tingyu's vision. If he didn't even have these basic things, how could he control those brothers and sisters in Shu, and how could he be accepted as a disciple by his junior brother.

Zhuge Jia looked at Wu Qinhu who was walking forward and immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Senior."

Wu Qinhu looked at Zhuge Jia and asked, "Is he entering the imperial court?"

Zhuge Jia did not hide it: "There are always some ambitions that I want to realize."

Wu Qinhu nodded and didn't say much. Everyone has their own aspirations. Some people yearn for the rivers and lakes, while some people are born to look up to the court. Everyone has their own wishes and he doesn't allow others to say too much.

There were quite a few people sitting at the mutton soup stall, but Xia Tingyu still found a way to get two tables.

When Wu Qinhu and Zhuge Jia sat down, Da Mengzi said that he wanted a large bowl of soup and five or six steamed buns to soak in it.

The stall owner quickly said that the bowl was indeed big enough, but with so many steamed buns in it, the soup was absorbed and it didn't taste good.

Da Mengzi felt a little lost.

At the same time, Xia Tingyu said, "Give me three bowls, one bowl with the whole steamed bun in it, one bowl with half a steamed bun, and one bowl with the steamed bun alone, and just the soup will do."

The shop owner was puzzled when he heard this.

However, Xia Tingyu did not explain anything, but leaned close to Da Mengzi's ear and said, "I saw the Queen eat like this before, it was so delicious."

Da Mengzi nodded immediately and said, let’s do it this way.

The shop owner was puzzled, but turned around and did as he was told respectfully.

Some people at the surrounding tables felt a little strange when they heard this, but looking at Xia Tingyu's appearance, they didn't dare to look at her directly, so they lowered their heads and peeked at her, as if every second look would be a bonus.

Some of them were originally talking nonstop, but at this time they looked at Xia Tingyu and took a big sip of soup.

The girl at the same table was a little unhappy. She cursed and said, "Look! Tell me what happened in Huaiyuanfang!"

Hearing this, the man who was drinking the soup almost choked, but he put down the bowl and was about to continue speaking. The other people at the table immediately pricked up their ears.

The incident in Huaiyuanfang is a very big deal in the capital now. It is the first major event of its kind.

The man said, "They are surrounded. There are a lot of people gathered in front of the gate of the Zoroastrian temple every day, especially the scholars from the Imperial Academy, who all want the master of ceremonies to give an explanation."

Someone said, "We all know this. Just now you said, what did Yang Guofu, Wu Xingba and the others do?"

The man immediately said, "Check them one by one! Check every Zoroastrian in Huaiyuanfang, house by house. You wouldn't know if you didn't check. We didn't find out the assassination of the queen and His Majesty, but we found out a lot of other dirty things. Right now, the jails of Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Justice are all filled with people, including people from Daxia and the Western Regions. There are all kinds of things going on. It's going to be a blast."

"I heard from my cousin in Jingzhao Prefecture that the Queen Mother was alarmed by a case of human trafficking. It was all because of the bastards here colluding with the people from the Western Regions to send our children to the Western Regions, and vice versa. The Queen Mother ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the matter personally. Yang Guofu was involved in the campaign to eliminate crime and evil, but such a big thing came out. It was said that Yang Guofu ran to Your Majesty to apologize for his crime."

The person sitting at the same table looked disdainful, "If the one-eyed fat guy doesn't plead guilty, he should die! He's lucky to be alive and still be an official. But it's unlucky not to mention him. Why doesn't he go to the empress to plead guilty?" Another person said, "Your Majesty ordered the empress to live in seclusion in Lingqi Pavilion to recuperate, have you forgotten? The empress must be really angry about the human trafficking, otherwise she might not have issued the order. She can make a person as angry as a Bodhisattva, and it's probably not just as simple as trafficking children. Damn it, these people!"

The man reacted immediately, but immediately said: "What about the assassination of your majesty and the queen? Is that it?"

The man who spoke immediately said, "How can that be possible? The Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice are investigating personally. The Shen Ce Mansion has also been dispatched. They have arrested many Zoroastrian leaders for interrogation. Only the Grand Master of Ceremonies is still fine."

At this point, the man whispered, "But I guess this matter will end here. After all, all the assassins are dead. If you really want to do something to Zoroastrianism, think about how many people in Luoan City believe in Zoroastrianism. Some of them are possessed by demons, saying things like "Isn't the Queen fine?" Why do you still keep going after the Zoroastrians?"

When the people at the same table heard this, they all clicked their tongues. Someone spat and cursed, "A bunch of people who are not worthy of being our Daxia people! They should be thrown into the desert of the Western Regions. Who are you? They have already attacked your Majesty and the Queen, and you don't allow a thorough investigation? If you want me, I will put a knife to your neck!"

This person spoke in a very low voice. There were really too many people who mainly believed in Zoroastrianism, or Zoroastrianism.

The man continued, "But, our queen is kind. I heard from my cousin that the queen personally ordered that no one should disturb the people of Huaiyuanfang from celebrating the festival, or disrupt the lives of ordinary people. You said that your illness has worsened because of this, and you still care about those ungrateful people! Alas, such a good person, and someone wants to assassinate her?"

Several people were talking.

Xia Tingyu was stunned. Su Changan and that damn girl Xia Qingge were assassinated again? And it sounded like it was done by Zoroastrianism?
Xia Tingyu had never heard of this matter, and when he heard that Su Changan's condition worsened because of this matter, he frowned even more.

The Zoroastrians assassinated Xia Qingge and Su Changan. No matter how Xia Tingyu thought about it, it was outrageous, unless the Zoroastrians were crazy and didn't want to live anymore.

Or maybe the target of the Zoroastrianism was actually someone else, and they just happened to meet the two of them, such as Zhao Wuxiu?

Xia Tingyu was thinking in her mind, but when she saw the mutton soup being served, she smiled and thanked the stall owner, then looked at Da Mengzi and motioned for her to start eating!
As long as Su Changan is fine, that's enough.

As for that girl Xia Qingge, even though I care about her she dislikes me, so why should I care about her? Regardless of whether or not I, as her sister, will be sad, I will naturally ignore her.

However, this matter cannot be figured out right now. Many aspects still need to be understood in detail, so Xia Tingyu is not in a hurry.

Wu Qinhu had naturally heard about this as well, and looked at Zhuge Jia: "Yan Yunxiao asked you to come to me because of this?"

Zhuge Jia smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief did not ask me to come. I came here on my own. As for the Huaiyuanfang matter, someone else is taking care of it. It is not my turn."

Just as Zhuge Jia finished speaking, the cute girl over there said "delicious", which made Zhuge Jia look over. Looking at the girl with the bun-shaped hair, he smiled softly: "Why did you bring your granddaughter with you on this trip? As far as I know, you love this child the most among your grandchildren."

Wu Qinhu picked up the water bowl and said, "It's not like we're going through fire and water. What's the point of bringing my granddaughter with me? Besides, I'll bring her out to broaden her horizons so she doesn't have to stay in the mountains all the time. Also, I heard that Yuan Ruxi has a good disciple named Suancai, who is about the same age as this kid. I'll bring her here to see if she's as good as the rumors say."

Zhuge Jia understood the meaning of this, so he smiled and said, "Then you have come at the right time, the world meeting will start soon, and you can take the child with you for a stroll then."

He would not cause trouble, so he brought his granddaughter out. What he did was just a matter of underworld affairs, not involving the court.

It would be worth the trip to get such words from this person.

Wu Qinhu knew what Zhuge Jia meant, so he said, "When I was young, I went to the Imperial College, but I never went in to see the place that all the students in the world yearn for. Now that you are an official in the court, is there any way for me to go in and take a look? Or I can go directly to Yan Yunxiao."

When he was young, Wu Qinhu loved reading and practicing martial arts. Although he was born a hunter in the mountains, it did not prevent him from doing these two things.

He got good skins from hunting and sold them to buy books. He didn't care if people laughed at him.

"I was so absorbed in reading that I didn't realize spring had already come." For Wu Qinhu, reading is a game of inner demons.

However, he did not study for fame, wealth or power. He was not interested in those things. He just wanted to understand the truth.

Once you know the principles, it will be easier to do things after learning martial arts, so read books to understand the principles so that you will know when to punch and when to retract your punch.

When he grew up and traveled around the world, he came to the capital and looked at the scholars at the gate of the Imperial College. At that time, Wu Qinhu met an old man. After chatting with the old man, the old man said that if he wanted to go in, he could go in and take a look.

Wu Qinhu refused, thinking he had no right to stand there, but the old man said, "It's not pleasant to peek at the moon through a crack."

Wu Qinhu didn't figure it out at the beginning, but after he read more and learned more martial arts, he realized that it is better to play with the moon on the stage than to glimpse it through a crack.

This is what reading books is like. Yearning to go to the Imperial College but not going in is just like peeping at the moon through a crack.

So this time, he wanted to go in and take a look.

But in addition to this, Wu Qinhu has another unique skill, playing chess.

He once played ten games with the old master of Yizixuan, who is now the best in the world, [Qi Jia].

Zhuge Jia said, "Actually, there is no need to bother. You can go directly to Senior Luo. He has a close relationship with the Imperial Academy's Chief Priest. Moreover, Senior's chess skills are enough to convince Chief Priest Mu."

Wu Qinhu was not vague. He pointed out the way for him, so he just did it himself and did not bother Zhuge Jiale. However, he looked at Zhuge Jiale and said, "It's been a long time since I played chess with you."

Zhuge Jia immediately shook his head: "Senior played ten games of chess with my master, and I have only mastered seven games so far, which is not enough to play chess with you."

Wu Qinhu has read a lot of books and understands many principles. Although he looks rough, like a tiger, he is also known as the "King of Beasts", but he is thoughtful and very reasonable.

So he didn't say much, but just asked: "Liu Fenggu, Yu Taohua, and Liu Xuer are in the capital because of the Queen?"

Zhuge Jia shook his head: "Yu Taohua is not."

The implication is that the other two are.

Wu Qinhu continued to ask: "He came to the capital to fight with Yan Yunxiao?"

Zhuge Jia said: "Senior, you should know why Yu Taohua came."

Wu Qinhu put down the water bowl and looked at Zhuge Jia: "Is he really still alive?! In the capital?"

His tone was a little excited. He had seen that person's demeanor before, but he was still a rookie back then. However, he still could not forget the way he drew his sword.

Zhuge Jia shook his head: "I don't know."

Wu Qinhu was silent for a moment and said, "If that person is really in the capital, I have no regrets coming to the capital!"

Zhuge Jia didn't say anything. As for what that handsome man looked like, he naturally had never seen him before, but he had heard his master mention that there was only one person in the world who could destroy Yi Zixuan's huge natural jade chessboard with one sword. Moreover, Yi Zixuan didn't hold a grudge against him. Instead, whenever his master thought of him, his face was full of longing and joy. What kind of person was that?

If possible, Zhuge Jia also wanted to meet him.

Zhuge Jia looked at Wu Qinhu and said, "Senior, why don't you ask the Queen for me?"

Wu Qinhu said: "It's better not to ask."

I want to ask, but if I ask some things will be involved, so it’s better not to ask.

Zhuge Jia smiled and said, "That's why Senior didn't ask the commander-in-chief to come in person."

But then, Zhuge Jia took out a piece of paper from his arms and said, "Just because you don't ask doesn't mean you won't come. This is what the Empress asked me to pass on to you."

Wu Qinhu frowned slightly and took it out in front of Xia Tingyu, which meant that it was not something to be concealed, or that he didn't care whether he would tell Xia Tingyu or not.

But
What do you want from me?

Wu Qinhu frowned slightly, thought about it, took the paper, looked at Zhuge Jia's calm expression, could not tell anything.

Xia Tingyu also heard it and was a little curious, but she didn't go over in the end. She would just pester Grandpa Wu to tell her later.

Wu Qinhu opened the paper and his expression froze for a moment. Then he looked up at Zhuge Jia with a strange look.

Zhuge Jia said: "I don't know what the content of the paper is, but the commander-in-chief asked me to tell you. Don't be surprised when you see the content. The queen is such a person."

Wu Qinhu frowned again and looked down at the paper again.

The handwriting is ugly.

To be honest, although Wu Qinhu was curious about the Empress, he did not want to get too deeply involved in state affairs, so he never thought of meeting the Empress, who was the new and most peculiar person in the world.

but now
The calligraphy was so ugly that Wu Qinhu wanted to see what kind of poet could write such calligraphy.

The handwriting reflects the character of the person. Is he really the number one on the Rouge List?

And this content
"Senior, I know your [Beast Forest] has all kinds of animals. Are there any pandas? Also known as iron-eating beasts, white bears. If there are any, can you give me two, young ones are best?"

The more he read the content, the more he wanted Wu Qinhu to meet the queen.

……

Su Changan sneezed and sat in Lingqi Pavilion, looking at the gate of the courtyard, feeling a little anxious because Lu Cai said he was back.

Moreover, Zhou Qianhong came back first and said that Lu Cai had changed a lot.

This made Su Changan want to see it even more.

The one who was as anxious as Su Changan was Maomao who was standing at the gate of the courtyard. Maomao was anxious because Lu Cai had just returned from Raojiang!

There must be poison on him.

……

Ps: It’s a long chapter, so the update is a little late. I’m not sure if there will be a second chapter. If there is, you can check it out tomorrow morning. I’m trying to adjust my work and rest schedule.
