Wu Yueniang said: "Great King, as far as the concubines know, it was not the soldiers of Tianma City who intercepted and killed Princess Xingyue halfway, but the people of the Ghost King Sect. ”

Qin Haodong has been watching quietly from the side, and from Wu Yueniang's performance, he can guess that Xiahou Hongxiang, the old thing, should have come to Tianma City first, and the two of them are definitely the same dog.

Zhao Xianlong turned his head to look at Shangguan Qiong: "Is that the case?

Shangguan Qiong has always been upright by nature, and is only loyal to King Zhao Xianlong, although she saw that Wu Yueniang was excusing Xiahou Hongxiang, she still said without scruples: "Great King, although those thieves wear the mask of the Ghost King Sect, the minister can see that they are not from the Ghost King Sect, but the soldiers of Tianma City disguised as the Ghost King Sect. ”

Zhao Xianlong frowned and asked, "How did you find out?"

Shangguan Qiong took out a bloodstained Zhushen arrow and said: "Great King, this is the Zhushen arrow that shot the injured minister, and the 20 palace guards brought by the minister all died under the Zhushen arrow.

Except for the elite soldiers of the kingdom, who else can have the Divine Arrow? Therefore, these people are not from the Ghost King Sect at all, but the soldiers of Tianma City in disguise. ”

Before Zhao Xianlong could speak, Wu Yueniang said directly: "King, the matter about the Zhushen Arrow has just been told to me by Xiahou Hongxiang.

Just two nights ago, Tianma City encountered a large-scale attack by the Ghost King Sect, and not only was the spirit stone in the vault stolen, but also three thousand Zhushen arrows were lost. ”

Zhao Xianlong's face showed a look of consternation, "There is still such a thing?"

Wu Yueniang said: "That's true, the concubine guessed that the reason why those people from the Ghost King Sect stole the Zhushen Arrow was to blame Xiahou Hongxiang.

General Xiahou Hongxiang is the pillar of the country, and he has killed countless thieves of the Ghost King Sect over the years, so he will naturally be resented by them, and it is normal to be framed by design, but the king must not be deceived by these thieves. ”

Speaking of this, she said to Zhao Xingyue again: "Xingyue, you have been in Tianma City for the past few days, have you been attacked by the Ghost King Sect?"

"This ......"

Although Zhao Xingyue didn't want to help Xia and Hong Xiang speak, it was not easy to lie after all, so she could only nod and say: "That's true, the Ghost King Sect launched an attack in Tianma City the night before yesterday, and sent a large number of people to assassinate my friend. ”

Wu Yueniang said to Zhao Xianlong again: "See, King, this is the trick of the Ghost King Sect, the purpose is to drive a wedge between the monarchs and ministers of our Xuanwu Kingdom. ”

"This woman is really amazing!"

Qin Haodong secretly admired in his heart that Wu Yueniang was able to seize all favorable conditions to defend herself, true and false, and her methods were extremely clever.

At this time, Shangguan Qiong said again: "But in the process of intercepting and killing, I obviously heard Xiahou Hongxiang speak, that is his voice, I can't be wrong." ”

"Actually, this is nothing, the Ghost King Sect is scheming, since he wants to blame General Xiahou, it is expected to come up with some small means. ”

Wu Yueniang suddenly changed her voice when she said this, and she actually spoke exactly like Shangguan Qiong, "King, like this kind of small method of changing the voice of speech, the concubines have also learned some of it, do you think what I said is like it." ”

Shangguan Qiong was dumbfounded, she didn't expect Wu Yueniang to have this kind of ability, learn from him to speak vividly, if you close your eyes, you can't really tell which one is true and which one is false, and she was speechless for a while.

Seeing that Wu Yueniang said it was reasonable, Zhao Xianlong hesitated for a moment and said: "Even if the last robbery and killing is not counted, the Xiahou family should be punished for being disrespectful to Princess Xingyue one after another." ”

"The king is right, these are all the faults of Xiahou Hongxiang's lax discipline. ”

Wu Yueniang seemed to be holding Zhao Xianlong and saying, but it invisibly reduced Xiahou Hongxiang's guilt.

She then said: "However, several people in the Xiahou family have been punished as they deserve, Xiahou Zhen is dead, Xiahou Chun is now a waste, and even the eldest Sun Lan has been severely punished by Xiahou Hongxiang."

General Xiahou Hongxiang has already promised me that he will strictly discipline his family when he goes back, and this kind of thing will never happen again. ”

"It's amazing!"

Wu Yueniang's performance was not weaker than the heroine in the court drama, just a few simple words, even with a beating, the great crime of Xiahou Hongxiang's rebellion was eliminated.

Zhao Xianlong said: "In this way, let this matter go for a while, Shangguan Qiong, you will immediately send someone to check and see if there is any other relevant evidence."

If Xiahou Hongxiang really rebelled, this king would never be spared, but he could not easily wronged his loyal ministers. ”

"Obey the order!"

After saying what should have been said, Shangguan Qiong stepped aside and stopped talking.

Zhao Xingyue was unwilling, and was hesitating to say something more, but then she heard Wu Yueniang say again: "King, Xingyue is not small, Sister Chen had already engaged her to marry before, but this girl secretly ran out."

Now that the people have returned, you see if this family business should be decided. ”

Before, she had already married Zhao Xingyue to Chen Ruyi, the son of her sworn friend Chen Xuanling, and now she brought up the old matter again, and immediately diverted the attention of the present.

Now not only Zhao Xianlong, but even Zhao Xingyue's attention has shifted to this marriage.

She said eagerly: "Father, I want to make my own decisions about my daughter's marriage." ”

"Xingyue, what you said is not right. Wu Yueniang put on a respectful posture and said, "Since ancient times, the parents have been in charge of major marriage matters, although your mother left early, but I, as an aunt, should also be responsible for your marriage."

Chen Ruyi, I have seen that child, not only handsome, but also extremely talented, he has reached the early stage of integration at a young age, what are you not satisfied with such a young talent?"

If she said this in the past, Zhao Xingyue wouldn't dare to say anything, but today's Zhao Xingyue is no longer the timid girl she used to be.

"Queen Mother, you must have been deceived by others, as far as I know, Chen Ruyi is good at eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and often does some things that bully men and women and hurt nature and reason, how can this kind of person be called a young talent?"

Wu Yueniang was slightly stunned, and then quickly regained her composure.

"Xingyue, it's nothing that young people love to play a little, it's not a big deal, you are the princess of our Xuanwu Kingdom, as long as you marry him, he can't be obedient and obedient, he can do whatever he wants.

The most important thing is that Chen Ruyi does have the ability, he has already reached the cultivation stage of the merger period at a young age, and has the reputation of the eight-armed little divine dragon, looking at our Xuanwu Kingdom, there are not many such outstanding talents. ”

"No, I won't marry Chen Ruyi anyway!"

In the past, Zhao Xingyue, who lacked courage, dared to resist this marriage, let alone now.

She no longer paid attention to Wu Yueniang, turned her head to Zhao Xianlong and said, "Father, my daughter already has a sweetheart." ”

Zhao Xianlong was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile on his face: "Xingyue, tell your father which son you like?"

Wu Yueniang frowned, she didn't expect that in just over a month, Zhao Xingyue's personality had changed so much, not only daring to openly rebel against her own opinions, but also having someone she liked.

Zhao Xingyue pulled Qin Haodong's arm and said, "Father, what I like is Brother Qin." This time I went to the seventh-level Futu Pagoda to practice, if it weren't for Brother Qin, I would have died a long time ago. ”

Zhao Xianlong carefully looked at Qin Haodong from head to toe, then nodded and said, "The young man is good!"

Wu Yueniang naturally wouldn't let Zhao Xingyue escape from the palm of her hand so easily, she said to Qin Haodong: "Young man, where are you from?

Seeing Zhao Xingyue's earnest eyes, Qin Haodong naturally didn't want to flinch, and said indifferently: "Back to the queen mother, I am just an ordinary person, without a father or mother, studying at Xuanwu Academy. ”

"Ordinary people, this is not right with our Xuanwu royal family!" Wu Yueniang asked again, "Then how is your current cultivation, what kind of realm have you reached?"

The Xuanwu Continent respects martial arts, even if he has a bad background, if he can overwhelm the others in terms of cultivation, he can also occupy a place.

Qin Haodong said: "I am a cultivator of the Great Perfection of the Refining Void Realm. ”

"The cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Void Realm, it is said that you are excellent at your age, but it is still a little worse than Chen Ruyi. ”

Wu Yueniang turned back to Zhao Xianlong and said: "Your Majesty, you have also seen that although this young man is good, he is not as good as Chen Ruyi in terms of family background and cultivation, I think he is not worthy of our Princess Xingyue." ”

Zhao Xingyue hurriedly said: "Brother Qin saved my life, and he is also the person I like, and my son begs my father to fulfill it." ”

Wu Yueniang said: "Xingyue, he saved your life, we can thank you a lot, but marriage is not a child's play, and you can't be emotional." ”

Seeing that Zhao Xianlong still had a trace of hesitation, Princess Xingyue said: "Father, since the queen mother said that Chen Ruyi is excellent, let him have a competition with Brother Qin, and whoever wins the daughter will marry whomever he wants!"

Although Chen Ruyi's cultivation has reached the early stage of integration, Qin Haodong's combat power Zhao Xingyue has seen it, and only one three-legged golden toad can beat the invincible opponent in the entire integration period, so he put forward such a competition for marriage.

"That's a good idea. Zhao Xianlong immediately agreed, and said happily, "If you want to marry Princess Xingyue of this king, you must have the ability."

It's so decided, let Chen Ruyi and Qin Haodong have a competition, whoever wins is the king's concubine. ”

Wu Yueniang's expression changed slightly, and then said: "The concubine also thinks this idea is good, but we still have to standardize the rules of the game in detail, otherwise it will be unfair." ”

Zhao Xianlong said: "What good proposal does the queen have?"

Wu Yueniang said: "This young man was born poor and has no family background, so he must be incomparable with Chen Ruyi in terms of financial resources and treasures.

Therefore, the concubine suggested that the two of them only rely on their own cultivation to fight, and they were not allowed to use any divine weapons, nor were they allowed to help each other with the help of any magical beasts, so as to ensure fairness to him. ”

After saying this, Zhao Xingyue's expression immediately changed greatly, in her opinion, Qin Haodong's biggest reliance was the three-legged golden toad.

However, the rules formulated by Wu Yueniang did not allow Warcraft to participate in the war, and on the surface, it seemed that they were helping Qin Haodong, but in fact, they directly weakened his combat effectiveness.

Qin Haodong looked indifferent, it seemed that this woman knew a lot about herself from Xiahou Hongxiang, and she also inquired about the matter of the three-legged golden toad.

However, he didn't care, even if he didn't use the three-legged golden toad, he was completely sure that he would clean up Chen Ruyi in the early stage of the merger.

"It's still the queen's thoughtfulness. Zhao Xianlong looked at Zhao Xingyue and Qin Haodong, "What do you think of the queen's proposal?"

"This ......"

Zhao Xingyue wanted to refute, but she couldn't find a suitable reason, after all, what Wu Yueniang said was too high-sounding.

Qin Haodong said: "Thank you Queen Mother for thinking thoughtfully, I don't have any opinions!"
