Empress: Living In The Mountains, My Daughter Praised Me As A God

Huo Yunxi's eyes were cold, and he took out a map and divided some relatively barren territories close to Bingling Kingdom with the three of them.

"Your Majesty! The territory has been drawn up. You can take over at any time with our contract!"

"Our father has already explained this. We and the Imperial Master can take full responsibility for all matters! Your Majesty, you can rest assured!"

The empress nodded and asked someone to bring up the map.

After reading it, he nodded with satisfaction.

Although it's barren... it's still territory. How much do you expect the other party to give you after winning this kind of bet?

"You came here this time, are you just giving us territory and treasures?"

Seeing Liu Qingxue's question, Huo Yunxi raised the corner of his mouth and spoke confidently and provocatively.

"Of course not! I heard that Bingling Country has both civil and military skills, and there is also Gu Yanwu, a great scholar who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"It just so happens that Zhu Zhishan, the Grand Tutor of the Fire Spirit Kingdom, and Dui Chuanchang, the prince, are both here today, so I would like to take advantage of today's opportunity to ask all the scholars of the Ice Spirit Kingdom for some advice on poetry and poetry!"

"Also... if you want to increase the odds a little this time, how about using the land of two states to bet? As long as your majesty wins, it will be equivalent to gaining the land of four states from our two countries. If you lose..."

"Not only must we return the territory we won, but we must also compensate each of us for one state. Your Majesty will not be afraid to respond to the territory that is presented to us, right?"

Huo Yunxi looked amused.

After saying that, a middle-aged man who looked a little arrogant and had six fingers on his right hand walked out from the attendants behind him. He was holding a folding fan in his hand.

Next to the man was a fat scholar with a mustache, giving people the impression of being old and cunning.

Hearing Huo Yunxi's words and looking at the two people who came out, the officials immediately exploded and couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"What? Zhu Zhishan? He is the same Zhu Zhishan who chose to retire after crushing Southern Domain's literary world and seizing second place among Southern Domain's four great talents?"

"I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect that he went to Huoling Kingdom and became a tutor. This is an opponent that even Gu Yanwu, the Minister of Rites, dare not say he is a sure winner!"

"And Dui Chuan's intestines are also there. I heard that a hundred years ago, the most talented man in Mu Ling Kingdom was punctured in his intestines and bleeds to death while gambling on his life with Dui Du!"

"Hiss... With these two people here, no wonder they dare to challenge our Bingling Kingdom. People with high skills are so bold!"

All the civil and military officials were talking about it. Everyone knew about the two people Huo Yunxi was talking about!

The fame and talent are even higher than those of Gu Yanwu. He is extremely strong. One is good at poetry and the other is good at couplets. Both of them are literary giants!

Even Du Ruhui, the imperial censor, and Li Chunfeng frowned, with solemn expressions on their faces.

As the saying goes, there is no falsehood in the reputation. Since the other party dares to use the land of the two states as a bet, I want to be sure of it!

In the past few years, the Bingling Kingdom has been in constant turmoil, and the empire has been unable to train them. It really has not produced any talents. In addition, now that Gu Yanwu has gone to provide disaster relief and is no longer in the imperial city, they can't think of anyone else who can compete with these two people.

For a moment, the empress and everyone fell into thinking.

Seeing that the empress frowned and remained silent, Huo Yunxi continued to taunt.

"Grrrr! This huge Bingling Kingdom has so many great scholars here. Are you afraid of a little girl like me?"

"The literary world of Bingling Kingdom is really in a mess. It seems that when we go back, we have to warn all students that the Qinghua Academy of Bingling Kingdom is just a decoration! It is misleading the students!"

"Sad...sad! Our Fire Spirit Kingdom is different. Famous teachers from major colleges gather together, and there are countless talents!"

That arrogant attitude is fully displayed!

Although the officials were angry, they did not dare to scold him because they... had no confidence!

Bingling Kingdom is a martial arts country, but it is indeed weak in literature.

But now that someone was provoking him, Liu Qingxue naturally could no longer refuse.

"Okay! I agree, come here! Invite all the top students from the major colleges, as well as the great Confucians and great writers!"

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Guan Zhong, who had remained silent and had no sense of presence, frowned and handed over his hands.

"Your Majesty! This move is inappropriate. If it fails, we will lose the land of four states. Even with the two states we won before, we still have to catch up with the two states."

"Please think twice, don't let the other party get into your trap!"

Hearing this, Liu Qingxue sighed.

This Guan Zhong was also an old minister. He was not only talented in the art of war, but also good at governing.

Moreover... he also founded the first brothel in Bingling Kingdom, and is the originator of brothels, widely loved and respected by LSPs.

It's just that he has been addicted to drinking and sex these years and doesn't take care of things very much, but it is undeniable that every suggestion from the other party is very useful.

"Prime Minister, if I avoid the challenge from other countries and refuse to fight, then where will the literary world of Bingling Country be placed? How will the students under my command be able to raise their heads in the future?"

"This... not only brings shame to me, but also brings shame to the entire empire! Ever since the founding of the Bingling Kingdom, we have faced difficulties head-on, so no matter whether we can win or not, we cannot avoid fighting!"

Liu Qingxue's heart is like a mirror, and there are not many talents in the imperial literary world.

If there is another major blow and the Chinese people are completely disappointed in the literary world and academies, then the majority of students may go abroad to study in other empires.

By then... the brain drain rate will be even greater. This is a matter of focusing on the present at the expense of the future.

Guan Zhong naturally thought of this and shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty! If you really want to fight, you might as well send someone to call Gu Yanwu back from the disaster area. Tianjie can fly very quickly, and he should be able to arrive at night!"

"With him in charge...it should be safer!"

The empress thought for two seconds and nodded.

"Since Princess Guantao wants to discuss with all the literary giants under my command, please come and go to the disaster area to recall the Minister of Rites back!"

As soon as he gave the order, Zhu Jun, who was a heaven-level man, immediately accepted the order, and his body turned and shot straight into the sky!

Huo Yunxi didn't care. Even if Gu Yanwu came, she was absolutely sure of winning.

An hour passed in a flash, and the top talents and gentlemen from Bingling Kingdom had all arrived!

"Your Majesty, since the people are almost here, let's get started!"

"The questions will be presented by Your Majesty, and they will be presented next to each other. You can do them together or one by one!"

After the two parties bowed their hands and saluted, Zhu Zhishan stepped out and directly asked the empress to write a poem for the poem. His contemptuous gesture made all the talented people in Bingling Kingdom angry.

"Damn it! How dare you talk so shamelessly? I will definitely deal with you, an arrogant person!"

"So what if you are one of the four great talents? We still don't believe it. There are so many people who can't compare to you, Zhu Zhishan!"

Zhu Zhishan threw away his folding fan, shook his head and laughed, with an arrogant attitude.

"Oh, just you? It's still 20,000 years too early to defeat me!"

The atmosphere was tense.

Under Liu Qingxue's topic, the two parties fought back and forth.

But after a few poems warmed up, the Bingling Kingdom side was soon at a disadvantage!

The four great talents were indeed not comparable to ordinary students. Even the gentlemen in the academy were crushed, and the group was forced to sweat in cold sweat and became anxious.

After all, Zhu Zhishan is a leader in his field!

"No! This one doesn't work either. It can't compare to his poems at all!"

"Damn it! Why is he so strong? Thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river! Don't bully a young man into poverty!"

Facing the angry howls of everyone, Zhu Zhishan's eyes were scornful, and the six fingers of his right hand were gently pinched.

"Incompetent and furious! Is this what you are doing? I wish I had high regard for you!"

"Thirty years in Hedong? It's useless to give you three hundred years. Waste is waste! How can talent be made up for by hard work?"

After hearing this, everyone was unwilling to accept it. Even if they couldn't compete, their mouths were still tough.

"Hmph! Why are you so crazy? When Mr. Gu comes back, you will be embarrassed!"

"That's right! Mr. Gu is a well-known scholar in Southern Domain. Isn't it easy to deal with you?"

The empress' face also darkened. She didn't expect that so many talented men and scholars under her command would be so vulnerable.

Minister of Rites...I rely on you!

"Gu Yanwu? Haha... I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Zhu Zhishan's lips curled up slightly and he shook his head. There was no nervousness in his eyes, but he was extremely relaxed.

Obviously he didn't take Gu Yanwu to heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of breaking through the sky.

I saw two streams of light landing on the ground, and Zhu Jun rushed in first, panting with an afro on his head.

"Your Majesty, I have brought Gu Yanwu here!"

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yanwu, who had a gray beard and had his hair blown out by the strong wind, also stepped in.

Seeing the two Matt Killers entering the arena, everyone seemed to feel that hope was smiling at them!

"Gu Shangshu, please teach this arrogant guy a lesson!"

"That's right! We are no match for him. We hope that Gu Shangshu can turn the tide and establish our position in the literary world of Bingling Country!"

Gu Yanwu was already on the road and heard Zhu Jun tell what happened.

Facing the compliments from everyone, Gu Yanwu bowed his hand towards the empress.

"His Majesty!"

"No need to be too polite, but I would like to ask Shangshu Gu how confident he is?"

Liu Qingxue asked.

Gu Yanwu glanced at Zhu Zhishan, then turned his head, his eyes particularly solemn.

"Your Majesty, I am only 30% sure!"

Hearing this, Liu Qingxue was shocked and changed her color.

You must know that Gu Yanwu has been famous for a long time, and she is the leader in the literary world of Bingling Country!

For many years, no one has been able to shake his position, but now...

"What? Even you are only 30% sure? So what should we do?"
