"I'll go, you've finally appeared! Lord Boss!"

Li Ran knelt down in the crowd, raised his head slightly, and saw that the empress was wearing a red dragon robe with a suitable cut, curves, and a hem somewhat similar to the cheongsam of the previous life, and slowly walked towards this side.

"Damn, she's dressed like this...... It's too unrestrained, isn't it?"

Li Ran exclaimed in his heart.

It turned out that the empress did not wear a domineering imperial crown this time, but a beautiful and solemn royal phoenix crown on her head, and on both sides of her neck, a pair of white and flat fragrant shoulders like congealed fat were generously revealed.

Moreover, from Li Ran's point of view, I could just clearly glimpse the pair of snow-white and full superb long legs under the skirt, swinging elegantly.

Well, this leg curve, it's a pity that there are no high heels in this ancient world, otherwise it would be perfect.

Although he accidentally previewed it in advance last night, at this moment, seeing this pair of god-level beautiful legs again, Li Ran couldn't help but admire slightly.

Of course, it must be a simple appreciation, just like appreciating a fine art painting.

No matter when, as the bottom line of a righteous man and a gentleman, there must still be a drop!

He was about to lower his head when he glanced at it inattentively—tortoise!

Today's Heavenly Maiden, with exquisite makeup, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, looks full of charm, and the whole country is bewitching and peerless!

From a distance, it's exciting!

"it, this empress is okay today, right? This is the imperial superintendent of the Xiao family's royal family, not to mention dressing so foul, and dressing up so beautifully, this ...... Is this singing that play?"

"Although I don't know much about it in private, but in my impression, the image of Empress Xuanyue in front of her subjects is that kind of very serious and majestic, and she doesn't smile, even when I saw her for the first time in the palace that day, I didn't see her wearing such delicate makeup?

"Oh-I see!"

Li Ran's heart was open, and a handsome little face suddenly appeared in his mind, which was naturally Wei Yuhong's dead sissy.

While thinking about it, he was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly found that the empress was also looking at him!

A few meters apart, and the pair of charming and noble phoenix eyes, far away, Li Ran was shocked in his heart, so he was ready to avoid his gaze and lowered his head, but he didn't expect it......

The other party actually smiled at him, and that smile was simply like a cloud opening snow and a cloud, which made people feel warm!

"Yes, this Xuanyue Empress seems to be determined to support our Li family, and this wave is stable. 」

Li Ran couldn't help but feel a lot more steady.

"Mother Emperor, it's good that you're here!"

Xiao Wan'er jumped up and said aggrievedly: "They ...... Bullying my family's gentleman and squire doesn't know martial arts!"

Only then did the empress retract her gaze, looked at her little daughter, and lovingly stroked Xiao Wan'er's forehead: "Don't talk nonsense, my little baby, here are all our own family, and no one will bully anyone." ”

"Am I right, Elder Heartless?"

The empress's phoenix eyes glanced at Xiao Wuxin and Du Jianxiong on the side.

Her expression seems to be plain, but her eyes are deep, but there is a hidden majesty and persecution of the arrogant world, which makes people dare not look directly and refute at all.

"I ......"

Although the woman in front of her was her own niece, Xiao Wuxin deeply understood that the methods of this Xuanyue Emperor were not comparable to the empress of the previous dynasty, she gritted her teeth, and she was really a little cowardly.

Xiao Wuxin lowered his head, his eyes rolled, and he glanced at his niece Xiao Lingqiu secretly, seeing that the latter nodded affirmatively at her, he had to grit his teeth and say:

"Your Majesty, this gentleman's servant Li Ran is not proficient in martial arts, but my great Xuan ancestor is in front of me, anyone who has no martial arts qualifications will never be entered into the Xiao family's clan registration, as a second-generation elder, today I can only enforce the law with iron hands, deprive this person of the phoenix boots under his feet, and expel him from the inner palace!"

"Okay, very good, Elder Wuxin is so iron-faced and selfless, I am very relieved. ”

The corners of the empress's mouth flashed with a smile, and she couldn't see her joy or anger at all: "If I just think that this Li Ran is an unborn martial arts genius, what should I do?"

"This ......"

Xiao Wuxin's face was hesitant, and he was speechless for a while, when the thin old man next to him, Du Jianxiong, walked over and said categorically: "Your Majesty, I have just explored the inner breath of this son, he has not yet been tempered at such an age, and there is no possibility of entering the martial arts, if Your Majesty insists on going his own way and sheltering this person, my husband and wife will not dare to say anything, but if the matter is big, I am afraid that the two elders of "Qingwei" and "Chenfeng" will not be able to talk about it. ”

Compared with his wife Xiao Wuxin, he said this neither humbly nor arrogantly, and there was no trace of fear on his face.

Many of the older royal children in the audience secretly trembled in their hearts, knowing that they were afraid that they were going to witness a bloody storm of royal infighting today!

Li Ran's heart was also tight, and he naturally knew where Du Jianxiong's words of the tough Empress Xuanyue came from......

It is the only remaining generation of elders of the Xiao family's royal family, "Qingwei" and "Chenfeng"!

These two elders are now over 100 years old, and the elder named "Qingwei" is the sister of Daxuan's "Empress Guangji" and the aunt of Empress Guanghua, who is one generation higher than Xiao Wuxin and Du Jianxiong.

And this "Morrowind" elder is naturally her gentleman, and he is also the former "martial saint" of the Great Xuan Empire.

The two of them are also the only special example of the combination of a pair of emperors and martial saints in the 800 years since the founding of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

Of course, the reason why this "Qingwei" elder is highly respected by the empresses of all dynasties is not only because of her seniority and the former glory of her monarch and servant "Martial Saint".

Rather, this woman is particularly awesome in herself.

A hundred years ago, a major event occurred in the Great Xuan Empire that shook the whole country.

The strongest martial saint in history, a mythical figure rarely seen in martial arts for thousands of years, "Nangong Wuji" launched a rebellion!

At that time, although the reigning "Empress Guangji" acted in time to destroy Nangong Wuji's plan, the latter was too strong, and he was killed from the imperial city with the strength of one person, and was besieged in the northern suburbs of the imperial capital by 100,000 royal elites and martial arts masters, and he couldn't take him for a long time.

The situation was stalemate for two days, and on the night of the third day, it was this "Qingwei" elder who, for some reason, used some method to mobilize the most mysterious and powerful "Near-Divine Guard" in the empire, which killed Nangong Wuji, a peerless hero.

It was also the first time, the first time in the history of the Great Xuan Dynasty, that the "Near Divine Guard" left the Temple of the Goddess and walked out of the palace gate to fight!

Since then, the status of this princess Qingwei in the court has become increasingly noble, and Empress Guangji is also extremely important to this sister, and even before her death, she made a will to pass on the throne to her.

However, Qingwei resolutely refused to obey and insisted on giving up the throne to the youngest daughter of Empress Guangji, who later became Empress Guanghua.

At this point, Princess Qingwei has become an elder of Qingwei, as long as she lives for one day, her status in the Xiao family's royal family is second only to the current empress, and even better in a sense.

As soon as the royal disciples heard that Du Jianxiong had moved out of Elder Qingwei, they immediately understood in their hearts, I am afraid that even this domineering Empress Xuanyue, known as the Emperor of Zhongxing, could only retreat for the time being.

On the other side, Xiao Wan'er also pursed her lips, her face was very heavy, she climbed Li Ran's hand and said, "Li Ran, what if...... If you really leave the palace this time, I will find a way to get you back! Don't worry, my Xiao Wan'er counts when she speaks, although I don't know what grievances you have with my eldest sister...... But I'm definitely not going to let her bully you!"

Hearing this, Li Ran was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, looked at this stubborn little face in a daze, only felt a rare warmth in his heart, and also smiled: "Don't worry, princess, with your words, I, Li Ran, will not let you down." ”

Yes, there are some decisions, as long as he, an immortal cultivator, is willing to do it, what are these stinky fish and rotten shrimp?

"You...... What do you mean by that?" Xiao Wan'er's eyes flashed, and at this moment, she was vaguely looking forward to this magical young man bringing miracles again!

Li Ran was about to speak, when the Empress Xuanyue, who was watching the audience, smiled softly and said, "Elder Du, are you using Elder Qingwei to suppress me?"

"Don't dare. Elder Ben is just realistic. Du Jianxiong's face was cold, but he was still not afraid.

"Elder Du, today is just in front of my royal future talents, I only say one thing, you listen well, everyone listens well, my will, it is the will of heaven, what I have decided to do, this whole world, in Kyushu, no one can resist, and similarly, no one can override my head, understand?"

Her voice was cold and low, but with a domineering and invisible awe-inspiring momentum, which suddenly made the audience tremble, and the atmosphere seemed to be involved in the Arctic ice field, terrifying and cold.

When Du Jianxiong heard this, his face trembled, and his tenacious and unyielding momentum was also consumed by most of it.

"Your Majesty!"

The female elder Xiao Wuxin finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said stubbornly: "You are the Son of Heaven above all else, but ...... But you can't go against the ancestral system and go against the sky!"

"Contrary to the ancestral system, against the sky. ”

Empress Xuanyue muttered these eight words, and her fiery red lips gradually rose and smiled.

Her gaze first glanced at Xiao Wuxin and Du Jianxiong, then passed through everyone, and finally fell on the silent eldest princess, Xiao Lingqiu.

Then, she said word by word: "Remember, I have already done these eight words once eighteen years ago, don't force me to do it a second time." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts seemed to fall to the bottom, and they trembled!

The Xiao Wuxin couple and Xiao Lingqiu on the side were sweating like rain, and the expression on their faces was terrified to the extreme!

Eighteen years ago......

What happened eighteen years ago?

In 834, the third princess Xiao Xuanyue united with Murong Yu, the chief staff officer of the Governor's Office, to launch a coup d'état, bloody the Forbidden Palace, imprison the Qingya Empress, and slaughter and exile the opposition clan elders, a total of more than ten people!

Li Ran's heart was also shocked, in his opinion, Empress Xuanyue's words were not just to protect him, but to some people.

Xiao Lingqiu, a stupid woman, in order to confront the second princess Xiao Qingxue, snared the clutches of the henchmen, and dared to enter the "Zongwu Yuan", the supreme place of the royal family, no wonder Empress Xuanyue wanted to warn solemnly.

He Li Ran, now he can be regarded as riding the light of this wave of royal fighting.

However, even so, he could not sit still any longer.

In order for the foundation of their Li family's three fathers and sons to be stable in the future, he must show off this wave.

He knew very well that this heavenly lady like the sun and moon would never use her light to shine on those who had no use value for her, or in other words, even if it was a temporary favor, it would have a certain timeliness.

Once this person loses his shining point, he can immediately discard it, and there are too many examples of the current dynasty.

Now, she has come up with this for herself, and she does not hesitate to open the Sect Affairs Academy, although this is actually to warn Xiao Lingqiu, but she should do something and balance it.

With this in mind, Li Ran walked out, bowed down to this magnificent figure that shocked the audience, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to come to the stage to give it a try, the minister has practiced magical martial arts since he was a child, and he can extinguish this everlasting candle without the slightest internal strength." ”

"You ......" The empress looked at him stunned for a second, and then frowned sternly and said: "Are you serious?

"The minister is absolutely not lying, please wait and see. Li Ran's handsome face did not have the slightest ripple, he slowly stood up and walked towards the stage.

When everyone saw him coming, they all looked in awe and moved out of the way.

Xiao Lingqiu, Xie Huan, Xiao Wuxin and the others looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces changed brilliantly and were extremely complicated.

"You're crazy!

Under the gaze of the audience, a thin figure chased after him and dragged Li Ran back.

It was the fourth princess Xiao Wan'er who chased after the gentleman who died by herself.

"Your Highness. ”

Li Ran smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, looked down at this delicate girl who was a whole head shorter than himself, and said softly: "Thank you for not giving up and fighting for the minister, the minister is very moved in his heart, and now ...... It's time for you to save face. ”

After speaking, under the gaze of everyone in the audience, he touched her head gently without hesitation, and turned away.

Seeing Li Ran walking onto the stage without hesitation, the Heavenly Maiden who was high in the distance pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she finally held back.

Then, Li Ran came to the front of the stage and stood still, looked at the candle on the offering table, raised his eyes and asked, "As long as I stand five meters away and extinguish all these three long candles, it can prove my martial arts strength, is that so, Elder Wuxin?"

Audience, Na Xiao Wuxin was stunned for a second, then thought for a while, and said: "There is no need to be like this, if Li Shilang can extinguish an everlasting candle at a close distance, no matter what external force is used, Elder Ben will be regarded as a martial arts genius like no other." ”

"Oh, that's right. Li Ran glanced at the Changming candle on the table, and then retreated ten meters away!

Just when everyone was stunned, a dead and provocative voice came from the stage:

"Huh. Can you put more ever-bright candles, these three are obviously not enough for me to perform. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was terrified.

A few seconds later, Elder Nadu snorted coldly and took the lead in speaking: "Li Shilang's tone is not small, the previous Xie Wushi, with outstanding talent and excellent martial arts, everyone can see it, and they have only extinguished three at once, but you haven't even completed the quenching, are you sure you want to challenge his record?"

"Challenge his record?"

Li Ran sneered, then deliberately glanced at Xiao Lingqiu, and said word by word: "This Brother Xie has already been a defeated general under my subordinates, and he has completely lost to me in poetry and writing, and the women and children in the entire imperial capital know it, and now he has attainments in martial arts, how can he compare with me?"

Xiao Lingqiu's mother-in-law did these one after another, which really made him a little angry, and he was so sharp that he didn't bother to care about anything.

Just one word, cool.

Offstage, Xiao Lingqiu's lips twitched, and in the light of her eyes, a faint anger really burst out, but she immediately calmed down and said in a flat tone: "Okay, I don't know how many ever-bright candles Li Shilang plans to use to show his magic skills?"

"This ......" Li Ran frowned, thought for a while, and said casually: "Let's ...... Let's have a hundred. ”

The audience was dumbfounded, silent.

Isn't that a mental illness?

Everyone thought to themselves.
