Chapter 247 Princess Langhuan
Xu Mujun.

He is considered to be a top-notch existence in the entire Dayu.

It's not just his innate martial arts skills, the most important thing is his contribution to Dayu.

More than forty years ago, he suppressed the Nanyue County and expanded the territory.

Ten years ago, they expelled the Wu State, occupied the Heishan Pass of the Wu State, and even conquered two states of the Wu State, which was also an achievement in expanding the territory.

If Wu State had not produced a peerless empress who led the army to retake the two states of Manghuang, the territory of Dayu would have increased by about one-fifth!

Even so, Heishan Pass was still in the hands of Dayu at this time, and it always maintained the initiative against the Wu State.

In recent years, he has led troops to suppress domestic rebellions and made great contributions.

Even in some states and armies in the south, rumors have spread that "they only know General Xu but not the emperor."

The rumors were spreading like wildfire, and many ministers in the court were waiting for Xu Mujun to fall, and some were even taking actions in secret.

After all, those who are more powerful than their master are something that every emperor fears.

Faced with this situation, Xu Mujun "took the initiative" to hand over his own stains and handles to the court and Zheng Yi.

The simplest way is to constantly seek rewards from the court based on military achievements.

Land, mansions, gold, silver, beauties, and even official positions.

Today, there are more than 500 people in the entire Xu family, including its main branch and branches, and almost everyone holds an official position!
Even their guard dog was given the title of "imperial dog" and was given the royal food!
However, he was discovered by Zheng Yi, who quickly calmed his mind, making Xu Mujun more loyal and suppressing the rebellion in the south.

Now, at the spiritual testing ceremony in the capital area, another person with spiritual roots has emerged from the Xu family.

In this way...the Xu family seems to be more stable.

Zheng Yi nodded and said, "Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"You have good martial arts skills. What realm are you at?"

"Your Majesty, I have just entered the first level of martial arts cultivation."

"A warrior of the first rank..."

Zheng Yi also looked at him sideways. A fifteen-year-old first-grade warrior was even more monstrous than Xu Qingluan was back then.

In addition to the influence of his innate energy, the biggest factor is that his own physique is also very good.

Xu Fengxiong suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"I am devoted to martial arts, can I withdraw from today's spirit testing ceremony?"

Zheng Yi frowned: "Why?"

"Having spiritual roots is destiny, so why should we seek far away instead of near?"

Xu Fengxiong said with a fiery look in his eyes: "I am devoted to martial arts. Since I was a child, I have vowed to become a martial arts expert like my uncle and protect Dayu."

"But if I choose to become a monk, I will most likely have to remain in seclusion for many years and will not be able to go to the battlefield."

"Also, I want to join the army and go to the battlefield to kill the enemy..."

Zheng Yi felt a little helpless. What was going on with this group of people?
Before, there was Wang Anshi who was unwilling to cultivate immortality, and now there is Xu Fengxiong who is unwilling to cultivate immortality.

Thinking back to the past, he spent a lot of effort in cultivating immortality.

Why is it that these two people have treated cultivating immortals so tantamount to discarding them?

Besides, how is it possible to become a martial arts master like Xu Mujun?

Everyone knows that Xu Mujun's martial arts skills are above the innate level.

But how many people know that in addition to the spiritual realm, there is also a martial god realm above the innate realm!
Xu Mujun’s true cultivation level is above the innate level, and even above that!

From ancient times to the present, no one in the entire Xuancang Realm has achieved this.

How many people in the future will be able to reach this level?

"Feng Xiong! What nonsense are you talking about!"

At this time, another voice was heard. It turned out to be from Concubine Duan Xu Qingluan who was sitting on the right side of Zheng Yi.

Her beautiful eyes were a little disappointed, but also a little worried as she said, "No matter what position you hold, you can serve the country, and it's not just on the battlefield."

"By becoming a monk, I can better protect Dayu and fight for the country."

"Auntie...Yes, Concubine Duan."

Xu Fengxiong looked respectful, but he still had his own ideas in his mind.

"Father~!"

At this time, Zheng Yuhuan rushed up like a bull. Zheng Yi quickly stood up from the dragon throne, squatted down, and hugged Yuhuan in his arms.

"Cuckoo~"

"Yuhuan, you're already eight years old, why are you still so aggressive?"

"Yuhuan likes father~"

Behind her, several little princesses followed and looked at Zheng Yuhuan with envy as she was sitting in Zheng Yi's arms.

Zheng Yuhuan's mother is the queen, so she can play around in front of Zheng Yi.

As for them, they have been educated by their mothers since childhood, and this kind of parent-child activity can only take place in their own palaces and be close to their father.

Zheng Yi also motioned for his daughters to come over and asked curiously, "Aren't you playing over there? What's wrong?"

Zheng Yuhuan spoke first: "It's that little Shitou, so stupid that he can't even play the game of Eagle Catches Chicken taught by the Emperor. It makes me so angry~!"

"small stone?"

"That's the little boy that Father asked us to play with just now~"

"Oh, Shi Xiaofeng, right?"

Zheng Yi looked over and saw Shi Xiaofeng still standing in the corner timidly, looking over here. Zheng Yi couldn't help but feel a little amused.

These kids are really...

"Hey, father..."

Zheng Yuhuan suddenly stared at Xu Fengxiong, shook his arm vigorously and said, "Who is this big brother? Can we let him play with us?"

Zheng Yi's mind suddenly moved, and he said, "Xu Fengxiong."

"The humble position is here."

"Since you don't want to cultivate immortality, I will give you a chance."

"Your Majesty, please clarify."

"My third princess, Zheng Yuhuan, is just eight years old this year."

Zheng Yi held Zheng Yuhuan in his arms, patted her little head and said, "Since you don't want to cultivate immortality, then why don't you compete with the Third Princess?"

"If you win, then I will agree to give you a position as a general. You will lead a group of troops to Xuzhou to help suppress the rebellion."

"But if..."

"His Majesty!"

Xu Fengxiong said quickly: "I have learned the art of killing on the battlefield. Princess Langhuan is a beautiful woman, how can I attack her?"

“Hehehe…” Zheng Yi smiled faintly and said, “Xu Fengxiong, this is the opportunity I give you. You must not look down on my Princess Langhuan.”

Xu Fengxiong thought for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, could it be that Princess Langhuan is a cultivator?"

"good."

"Humph!"

At this time, Zheng Yuhuan, who was sitting on Zheng Yi's lap, also said, "Big brother, don't look down on others. Many people in the palace are no match for me."

"How about we have a competition?"

Xu Fengxiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that since you are a princess, of course the people in the palace wouldn't dare to really do anything to you.

But now...

He didn't want to fight with a little girl, but the emperor's order had been given.

"That's it."

Zheng Yi made the final decision and said, "Xu Fengxiong, you compete with Princess Langhuan."

"If you win, you won't have to cultivate immortality anymore. I will also keep my promise and promote you to lieutenant general, leading an army on your own."

"But if you lose, you will have to stay in my 'Yuelong Palace' and practice."

Xu Fengxiong looked at his aunt helplessly, but found that her eyes were full of excitement and eagerness to try, and she was obviously very interested in this matter.

"Fengxiong, be careful. Auntie will cheer you on. Hahaha~"

"Your humble servant... obeys your order!"

Following the emperor's order, the people around immediately made way for a huge open space for the two men to compete in flute playing.

More than ten palace guards quickly formed a circle to ensure that the princess would not be hurt.

The other little princesses and princes also came over excitedly and shouted loudly.

"Come on, sister!"

"Beat him like a pig!"

"Come on, Sister Yuhuan~!"

Zheng Yi's sudden inspiration attracted the attention of other concubines, who were all talking in low voices.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit impulsive? Not to mention Xu Fengxiong's martial arts strength, he is already fifteen years old, and Princess Langhuan is only eight years old~"

"You don't understand. Princess Langhuan is only eight years old, but she is already a monk~"

"Monk? Can you really breathe out smoke?"

"I do not know either……"

On the dragon throne, Zheng Yi held Zheng Yuhuan in his arms and whispered something in her ear, causing Zheng Yuhuan to giggle.

Soon she jumped off Zheng Yi's legs and walked to the center of the ring with her head raised.

Chen Liancang appeared silently: "Princess, are you ready?"

"Grandpa Chen, I'm ready, let's get started."

"it is good!"

Chen Liancang glanced at Xu Fengxiong, his eyes full of warning.

Xu Fengxiong was helpless as well. It seemed that he could only pretend that he had lost.

"This is an important place for the royal family. Swords and knives have no eyes. Xu Fengxiong, do you want to equip yourself with weapons?"

Xu Fengxiong immediately said: "Of course not."

"Okay, let the competition begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fengxiong did not move, but waited for Zheng Yuhuan to make a move.

Zheng Yuhuan chuckled, and suddenly made hand gestures with both hands, very slowly and methodically, making the people around her smile.

The Queen looked at Zheng Yuhuan with some concern and whispered, "Your Majesty, will Huan'er be in danger? Why don't you let her come back?"

"Queen, don't worry. I believe in Yu Huan..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Yuhuan finished the gesture with both hands.

A faint wave of magical power surged out of her body.

In an instant, three fist-sized flames formed in front of her at a speed visible to the naked eye, and turned into three lifelike firebirds!
"Wow...!"

This move caused countless discussions among people around.

"Fire! Firebird!"

"Princess Langhuan is so amazing! She can actually control fire!"

“Immortal! He is truly an immortal…!”

Amid the exclamations, Zheng Yuhuan kept smiling. She pointed forward with one hand and three firebirds immediately chirped clearly and rushed towards Xu Fengxiong at an extremely fast speed.

After doing all this, she slapped her waist again, and the storage bag shook. A petal-shaped magic weapon flew out of the storage bag with a whistling sound, and it turned into a ball of light curtain, protecting Zheng Yuhuan inside.

A medium-grade magical weapon, white lotus petals!
This is a mid-grade magic weapon that Zheng Yi found in the storage bag of the White Lotus Mother, and he gave it to Zheng Yuhuan as a reward.

At this moment, Xu Fengxiong's eyes were extremely calm. Facing the three attacking firebirds, he immediately felt a scorching heat wave.

He was startled and immediately realized that he couldn't fight head-on and could only use his body speed to dodge.

But the three little birds were like leeches on the tarsal bones and quickly caught up.

Feeling the heat coming from behind, he immediately lowered his body and rolled to avoid the situation.

The internal force was flowing in his body, but he didn't dare to punch.

Faced with the three firebirds that kept flying and chasing him, he was actually helpless for a moment.

At this moment, Zheng Yuhuan's voice suddenly rang out.

"Grandpa Chen, throw him a weapon!"

"Princess?"

"Hurry up! I heard that the most famous weapon of the Xu family is the "Hundred Battles Blood Blade". How can you use it without a blade in your hand?"

"This is!"

Chen Liancang responded helplessly and reached behind him. The goose-feather knife in the hand of an imperial guard suddenly trembled and shot out, rushing towards Xu Fengxiong.

"Well done!"

Xu Fengxiong yelled and reached out to grab the knife.

As his internal energy flowed, the goose-feather knife in his hand immediately emitted a sinister aura.

Feeling the heat wave behind him, Xu Fengxiong took the opportunity to fight behind him.

"Hundred Battles Blood Blade!"

"break!"

"boom……!"
