Heartbroken, Princess Qingyue made the same decision as the envoy. If it can be used for your own use, keep it, otherwise, cut it off!
After thinking for a moment, Princess Qingyue said to the general beside her: "Use it if you can, and kill it if you can't!"
"My subordinates understand!" the general responded.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know that because of the two competitions, he had been targeted by the most terrifying Princess of Silver Moon Kingdom in the world. Otherwise, even if he is beaten to death, he will not show his true face to others.
The old Taoist priest taught him many ways to be mindful in the world, and he even left the human skin-mask behind.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan was sitting in front of the hall boiling water and making tea. Xiaoyun, who had disappeared for several days, finally moved everything Li Xiuyuan needed for him.
"What are you thinking about? You look like you're in a daze. Wouldn't you be happy if you weren't staying here?" Queen Changsun, who was sitting opposite Li Xiuyuan, looked at him and asked lightly.
Li Xiuyuan muttered and replied softly: "I think it will take some time to finish copying the Queen's scriptures, and then I will start my own practice."
"The road to spiritual practice is long, don't be too impatient..." The queen sighed softly, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
"Why don't you hurry? If you are not careful, you will be captured and used as a fat sheep. I don't want to happen again."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the outrageously beautiful woman in front of him, but he didn't have the usual fear. He thought that he had only been in the palace for a few days, and his skills had not improved, but his courage had become a lot bigger.
A smile flashed in the queen's eyes. In fact, she and King Qin had talked about Li Xiuyuan more than once. Just because this guy is too young to be made an official, otherwise I would even think of making him a general.
There were many generals in the kingdom, but when it came to actually employing them, none of them were very useful. They were all like sick cats, which made her and King Qin really angry.
He is well-informed, capable of practicing Taoism and Buddhism, and has amazing archery skills. Apart from being younger, there is no other problem. The key is that this little guy also has Shura bloodline, which is rare in Tianfeng King City.
Even in the Tianfeng Kingdom, which is called Shura City in the Shura Realm, there are only a few families with pure Shura bloodline? Could it be that this guy is the son of the noble family who has been left behind by the people?
It's just that in the past ten years, there has been no mention of anyone's missing son?
You have to know who in the family with Shura blood does not regard their child as a treasure, how can they let him live in the world without caring?
"Stay here and practice well. If you need anything, tell Xiaoyun. The emperor and I will try our best to meet your requirements. Also, if you win the second game, what reward do you want? Tell me."
Queen Changsun looked at Li Xiuyuan and said quietly, she was ready to accept the lion's big mouth from this little Taoist priest.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan looked at her and shook his head, and replied calmly: "I don't want anything, I just want to practice in peace. Can someone send me some firewood, rice, oil and salt? I won't bother to send food to me in the future, no. Habit."
Ever since the old Taoist priest picked up Li Xiuyuan, the master and apprentice of the two schools have been hunting together and cooking together. He has long been accustomed to this pace of life, and it is really awkward to have someone take care of him all of a sudden.
The queen was startled. She didn't expect that Li Xiuyuan would make such a simple request. This was hardly even a request. There are so many cooks in the palace, how can there be a shortage of food and drink for Li Xiuyuan?
Unexpectedly, he was not used to being waited on. This really impressed Queen Changsun.
Looking back at Xiaoyun, she said: "Then let the imperial kitchen send some daily necessities, and we will replenish them every few days in the future."
"In that case, I would like to thank my concubine and Your Majesty for your grace."
With his life guaranteed and no longer afraid of others disturbing him, Li Xiuyuan decided to close the door, ignore anyone, and complete his practice with peace of mind.
"You brewed the tea very well. When I have free time, I will bring Yun'er over to drink tea. Yun'er will bring some new tea this year and leave it here. It is rare for this palace to have a little girl who understands tea. Guy."
Xiaoyun nodded, looked at Li Xiuyuan and laughed. If you want to avoid us, there is no way!
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, his mouth opened but he couldn't say a word. Could it be that I have no time and want to practice? I don’t want to see the Queen. I want to copy scriptures?
"Stay well, the days are still long!" Queen Changsun said lightly.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, the expression on his face changed again and again, and finally looked at the queen helplessly and replied: "In the next few days, I will have to spend the whole day copying this scripture for the empress.
"Oh, I forgot about this. Let's take a look at how many copies we copied." Queen Changsun asked calmly.
"It's almost done. I'll be able to finish copying one volume in a few days."
Li Xiuyuan stood up and walked to the bookshelf, took down a small portion of the scriptures he had copied, handed them to Empress Changsun who was following him, and then sighed softly.
"Well, it's not bad. This font looks strong and powerful. Keep working hard." Queen Changsun just turned the first page, and her eyes lit up and she felt happy.
"This is not urgent. Please give me a little more time." Li Xiuyuan's heart tightened and he immediately changed his tone. He doesn't want to become a copying machine, his goal is to practice.
"That's right, there shouldn't be any more competitions in the coming days. Just stay here." Queen Changsun looked at him and said calmly.
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he was secretly happy that he could finally have a quiet life.
It's just that Xiaoyun is not a light-saving lamp. She looked at Li Xiuyuan and asked: "Little Taoist priest, why did I see you changed the name of this small courtyard?"
Queen Changsun was stunned, looked up at Li Xiuyuan and asked, "Tell me, what did you change the name of my courtyard to? I remember it was called Guanyuan before."
"Your Majesty, you remember correctly, this is Guanyuan." Xiaoyun answered.
When Li Xiuyuan quarreled with Xiaoyun, he suddenly felt unhappy. I thought that if you don't like it, you can change it back after I leave. Why bring it up in front of the Queen? Isn't this causing trouble?
Seeing the queen's frown, Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "Back to the queen, the Taoist temple on the mountain is called Yunqi, and I suddenly changed this garden to look like it."
"Guanyuan, Yunqi. It sounds pretty good. What's the point of Yunqi? Let me tell you."
Empress Changsun, who had originally planned to get up and leave, sat down with peace of mind, intending to listen to Li Xiuyuan's explanation.
Li Xiuyuan curled his lips, looked at the two of them and replied: "When you walk to a water-poor place, sit and watch the clouds rise. That's the truth!" After saying this, he carefully added tea to the two of them.
Since you're not leaving, let's have tea. This is what Li Xiuyuan still likes to do.
When Empress Changsun heard this, she couldn't help but murmur to herself: "Walk to the poor place and sit and watch the clouds rise! It's interesting. I'll go back and talk to the emperor about it. Maybe I'll give you another reward!"
After picking up Li Xiuyuan's tea, Empress Changsun felt a shocking sensation in her heart.
Isn't this just two lines of poem talking about the current situation of Tianfeng Kingdom? The Tianfeng Kingdom, which has not fought for many years, has gradually weakened its military strength. In the eyes of the Silver Moon Kingdom and other kingdoms, it is just a piece of fat.
Just like Li Xiuyuan, who was caught by bandits when he came down the mountain and sold as a fat sheep, in the eyes of the Silver Moon Kingdom, how could the Tianfeng Kingdom not be a fat sheep?
The bet that was already a lost bet was about to lose money and land, but unexpectedly it turned around overnight and bought Tianfeng Kingdom at least ten years.
Queen Changsun and King Qin were confident that they would spend ten years rebuilding the kingdom's army so that they could resist the enemy outside the country's borders and no longer be manipulated by others as before.
Thinking of this, Queen Changsun looked at Li Xiuyuan and laughed: "You fat sheep, since you didn't let the bandits sell it, you should practice well in the palace. Try to become a tiger that goes down the mountain in a few years and seek revenge on them." "
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said calmly: "If I just want to seek revenge from them, what is the difference between me and them? Is it possible that people will call me a big bandit?"
Queen Changsun was startled when she heard this, and was speechless for a long time.
This was a life-and-death hatred for someone to catch and sell as a fat sheep, but the guy in front of him just smiled and wiped it away.
This is something that both myself and the emperor absolutely cannot do. Whoever has a grudge must avenge it, and it must be retaliated ruthlessly to relieve the grudge. Otherwise, why would a gentleman not talk about revenge for ten years?
Looking at the queen's dazed look, Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "These bandits live on the edge of the knife. I saw with my own eyes that the bandit who captured me was beheaded by the swordsman of Taoyuan, and then the swordsman of Taoyuan was poisoned by the bandits of Tianfeng Kingdom. Kill!"
"When will the injustice be repaid? I don't have the leisure to do so!" Li Xiuyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Xiaoyun, who was sitting aside in a daze, moved her mouth, and after a long while, she finally managed to say: "You little monster!"
...
The palace, which had been quiet for two days, finally received good news on the third day.
It turned out that the envoy of the Silver Moon Kingdom sent a letter, saying that the Silver Moon Kingdom would admit defeat in the second competition, and the third competition would not be held until three years later. The location and method of the competition would be negotiated by both parties.
This is undoubtedly great news for the current Tianfeng Kingdom.
The army had time to train and adjust, and the national strength had three years to gather. These three years were rare for the Tianfeng Kingdom.
King Qin shouted directly in the main hall: "What does that little guy want? I will satisfy him!"
A group of courtiers also echoed: "Your Majesty is wise, such meritorious officials should be heavily rewarded."
Empress Changsun, who was sitting aside, smiled lightly and said: "That guy didn't want anything, he just asked me for some firewood, rice, oil and salt. He said he was not used to being served by others and wanted to practice by himself."
Not only the King of Qin, but also a group of ministers were deeply shocked by the Queen's words. This was the perfect opportunity to ask for grace from the emperor, but the little Taoist priest actually didn't want anything.
"Queen, did you hear me correctly? That little guy just wanted something so simple?"
"That's right. In short, let him practice well alone and don't disturb him for the time being. After all, he is too young. Let's wait a few more years." Empress Changsun looked at King Qin and said seriously.
In her eyes, Li Xiuyuan is a child who has not grown up and needs more care so that he can have time to grow up and avoid being kidnapped again.
"Then you can't just send him away like this. If he doesn't want it, I have to reward him, so just reward him with a thousand gold coins. What does the queen think?"
From King Qin's point of view, even a thousand pieces of gold was a small amount. After all, if they lost, the Tianfeng Kingdom would have to lose money and cede territory as a bet, and they couldn't afford to lose.
"He lives and eats in the palace, how can he spend so much on fun? I think we should cut it in half!" Queen Changsun knew that the treasury was weak in recent years and it was not easy for King Qin to lead the family, so she took it upon herself to cut it in half.
Although the queen spoke calmly, the courtiers in the hall trembled.
Whoever you mess with in Tianfeng Kingdom, don’t mess with Queen Changsun. He is so cruel to the meritorious people around him, let alone the ministers who have made no achievements in the court.
King Qin was stunned, looked at the Queen deeply, and then said with a smile: "I followed the Queen's words and rewarded Li Xiuyuan five hundred gold coins."
Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting in the room copying scriptures, sneezed inexplicably, and thought to himself, who is this that is upset with me? I just sat here quietly and copied scriptures without disturbing anyone.
