Wei Lianyi's pretty face still had lingering lingering traces of it.
As for the horse the two sat on, it had already stopped working at this moment, and it was entrusting the two of them at the same time, making it extremely burdened.
Wei Lianyi glanced at the setting sun that was about to set over the mountain, and her pretty face suddenly turned ugly as she said, "If you miss my important event, I will chop it into pieces!"
The corner of Su Yu's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
These girls really fall out after enjoying it.
After all, I have just saved your life again. You can't express your gratitude by committing yourself to me?
Su Yu was slandering in his heart, but he said with a normal expression: "Don't worry, sir, I promise that I will win the first place in this summer hunt!"
Hearing Su Yu's words, Wei Lianyi's pretty face relaxed slightly.
She recalled her experience of being ambushed just now.
If Su Yu hadn't taken action, her fate might have been the same as that of her own horse.
At the critical moment of his own life and death, Su Yu also showed amazing fighting power and saved himself at the critical moment.
The strength he showed at that time was completely different from the strength he showed to others.
It's obvious that this guy is still hiding his strength, but he is just deliberately useless.
After getting dressed again, Wei Lianyi said calmly: "What are you going to do? There is still at most half an hour before the sun goes down. Plus we have to turn back, the time left for us is only a stick of incense!"
After saying that, she gave this guy an annoyed look.
It took more than two hours for this guy to do his work. During this period, she visited Paradise countless times.
Although this guy has worked hard and has merit, if he dares to miss her important event, he will still be severely punished!
Su Yu glanced at the sun that was about to set on the top of the mountain, and chuckled: "There is not enough time to hunt the sixth-level monsters again."
"Wait for me here for a while, I'll go and come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yu jumped up with dragon wings spread out behind him. The dragon wings suddenly shook and flew straight towards the direction of the Lingfeng Demon Ape.
"snort!"
Seeing Su Yu preparing to hunt down the Lingfeng Demon Ape, Wei Lianyi couldn't help but snorted coldly.
This guy said before that he couldn't hunt down the Lingfeng Demon Ape. How could he now have the confidence to hunt down the Lingfeng Demon Ape in just one stick of incense?
As expected, it is a man's mouth, a liar.
However, thinking of the previous scenes, Wei Lianyi's pretty face suddenly became a little unnatural, her whole body began to feel hot, and her eyes became blurred.
All over his body, only his mouth seemed to be hard.
She knew that she might never be able to escape from that guy's grasp.
"Roar~"
At this moment, the roar of the Lingfeng Demon Ape came from the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the Lingfeng Demon Ape let out a shrill roar, and then became quiet again.
It wasn't even time to finish half a stick of incense. It was only when Wei Lianyi was distracted for a moment that Su Yu had already turned back again.
"Go back, it's done."
Su Yu shook the demon crystal of Lingfeng Demon Ape and said with a calm smile.
Seeing Su Yu kill a fifth-level spiritual peak demon ape in an instant, Wei Lianyi's pretty face couldn't help but be a little startled, what state is this guy in now?
How did he grow to this point in just one year?
Even the fifth-level Spirit Peak Demon Ape can kill it in an instant.
Even a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior can't do this, right?
Could it be that he is already a Soul Palace realm warrior?
But how is this possible?
Seeing Wei Lianyi still looking absent-minded, Su Yu smiled evilly and said, "Sir, if we don't go back, the sun will set."
Wei Lianyi glanced at him, and then said: "We can only use the phoenix bracelet to hurry up."
As soon as she finished speaking, she used the secret technique of "Jun Lin Tian Xia" to force her cultivation to the Hidden Dragon Realm, and then poured a steady stream of vitality into the Phoenix Dance Bracelet.
When enough vitality merged into the phoenix bracelet, the whole body of the phoenix bracelet shook, and a phantom of the phoenix emerged.
"Hey."
The phantom of the phoenix suddenly fluttered its wings, carrying Wei Lianyi and Su Yu high into the sky, heading straight towards the camp outside the Qingtan Monster Forest.
"Wen Huaimin, hunted three seventh-level monsters and five eighth-level monsters."
"Xiong Yuanshan, hunted two seventh-level monsters and three eighth-level monsters."
"Yu Yuanji, hunt down two seventh-level monsters and three eighth-level monsters."
"Yan Shuying, hunted one seventh-level monster and four eighth-level monsters."
"."
"The eldest prince Wei Zongyuan hunted seven sixth-order monsters, eighteen seventh-order monsters, and eight eighth-order monsters."
Wow!
When they heard that Wei Zongyuan had hunted seven sixth-level monsters, the civil and military officials on the playground immediately started an uproar. Their faces were full of shock, as if they did not expect Wei Zongyuan's achievements to be so brilliant.
.
When everyone looked at Wei Zongyuan, their expressions suddenly became a little strange.
If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid the leader of this year's summer hunt is Wei Zongyuan, right?
At this moment, the referee read out the score of the second prince Wei Zongyue again.
"The second prince, Wei Zongyue, hunted seven sixth-order monsters, seventeen seventh-order monsters, and eighteen eighth-order monsters."
Wow!
After hearing the achievements of the second prince Wei Zongyue, the crowd once again burst into uproar.
"Oh my God, the eldest prince and the second prince actually hunted so many sixth-order monsters. In previous summer hunting years, I had never heard of anyone hunting sixth-order monsters, right? What happened this year?"
"Hey, there was no such thing as teaming up for summer hunting in previous years? The eldest prince and the second prince both found warriors from the Hidden Dragon Realm to form a team together. It makes sense that they can hunt so many sixth-level monsters."
"Yes, if it were the summer hunt in previous years, everyone would focus on participating, but this year's summer hunt is different. Your Majesty will use the Emperor's Sword as a reward. Can the eldest prince and the second prince not sacrifice their lives?"
"It seems as expected, this year's leader will probably be chosen from the eldest prince and the second prince."
"I just don't know who will end up being the leader of this year's summer hunt."
"In my opinion, it's probably the eldest prince. He hunted seven sixth-order monsters and eighteen seventh-order monsters. Although the second prince had a similar record to him, he only hunted seventeen seventh-order monsters.
Beast, it stands to reason that the eldest prince will win by a narrow margin."
"Although the second prince did not have an advantage in the number of seventh-order monsters hunted, the second prince hunted eighteen eighth-order monsters. On the other hand, the eldest prince only hunted eight eighth-order monsters. Then
The ten eighth-level monsters that the second prince hunted can’t be counted among them, right?”
"Even if the eldest prince hunts fewer eighth-order monsters, but even if the second prince hunts ten more eighth-order monsters, can these ten eighth-order monsters compare to one seventh-order monster?"
"Ten eighth-level monsters are not as good as one seventh-level monster?"
"."
The results achieved by the eldest prince and the second prince immediately aroused heated discussions. Some people thought that the eldest prince Wei Zongyuan should be the leader of this year's summer hunt, while others thought that the second prince Wei Zongyue should be the leader of this year's summer hunt.
The two sides fell into a stalemate.
"His Majesty."
Looking at the sunset in the distance, Wang Jinghui took a step forward and said respectfully: "It's time to announce the leader of this year's summer hunt."
Wei Jin chuckled and said: "Wang Aiqing, in your opinion, who should be the leader this year? The records of the two princes are so bad that I don't know who should be the leader this year."
Wang Jinghui said: "The eldest prince and the second prince hunted the same number of sixth-order monsters, but they were slightly better at hunting seventh-order monsters. This year, the eldest prince should be the leader."
Huo Yu, who was standing aside, stood up and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Although the second prince hunted fewer seventh-level monsters than the first prince, the number of eighth-level monsters hunted by both sides was still the same." In terms of monsters, the second prince has ten more monsters than the eldest prince. Logically speaking, ten eighth-level monsters are far better than one seventh-order monster! "
"The leader of this year's summer hunt should be the second prince!"
At this time, Shen Xiaohan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up again and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, although I am not a warrior, I also know that the strength of the seventh-order monster is far greater than that of the eighth-order monster. Since the eldest prince can Hunting one more seventh-level monster beast is enough to show that his record is far better than that of the second prince."
Kong Jingyi, the Minister of Rites, stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, although the second prince hunted one less seventh-order monster beast than the first prince, he hunted ten more eighth-order monster beasts than the first prince. Yi Weichen In my opinion, the ten eighth-level monsters that the second prince hunted were at least worth two seventh-level monsters."
"His Majesty."
"His Majesty."
The two forces spoke out in support of their two princes, and the situation once again reached a stalemate.
As for the neutral party, their expressions were a little weird at the moment. They each looked at each other with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.
As a member of the court, everyone has a clear mind.
The reason for this scene is because the reward for the leader this year is the Emperor's Sword.
As long as this year's reward is not the Emperor's Sword, these two forces will not fight over the leader of Lao Shizi.
If you want to win, let me win. Anyway, it has nothing to do with me.
But now it is related to the Emperor Sword, the sword that shows the identity of the prince, so the position of leader must not be given up.
The Emperor's Sword represents the position of the prince, and neither party can give it to the other.
When Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui on the outside saw this scene, they both gloated a little.
"Hey, it's really wonderful."
Liang Yuxuan lowered his voice and said with a wicked smile: "It's really not in vain to be lucky enough to watch such a good show."
Sun Xicui chuckled and said: "From what I see, I'm afraid this time, the eldest prince and the second prince will have another tie."
Liang Yuxuan glanced at the direction of the monster forest and sighed: "Master Wei and Brother Su haven't come back yet, and I don't know what their record is?"
"Although Mr. Wei was able to use secret techniques to advance to the Hidden Dragon Realm for a short period of time, the time was too short. Being able to hunt down a sixth-level monster is already a very good achievement."
Sun Xichui shook his head and said: "As for Brother Su, although he has the perfect strength of the Yuyue Realm, he has not practiced any powerful Xuan-level martial arts. He only has a Xuanbing Yue Dao in his hand. I'm afraid The record will be very bad. They haven't come back yet. They probably know that this record is really unattainable, so they chose to give up the results of this summer hunting."
"yes."
Liang Yuxuan nodded and agreed with Sun Xicui's statement.
Wei Lianyi approached Su Yu to participate in this summer hunt because he needed someone to make up the numbers.
The two of them were able to hunt down a sixth-level monster, which was already a very good achievement.
The sun is about to set now, and they haven't shown up yet. They probably gave up on this summer hunt and waited for everyone to disperse before returning to the camp in despair.
"slow!"
Listening to the bickering between the two parties, Wei Jin couldn't help but have a headache.
Seeing Wei Jin come forward, the dispute between the two parties came to an abrupt end, and they all looked at Wei Jin.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wei Jin chuckled and said, "Lianyi hasn't come back yet. Maybe she can give me a big surprise. The position of leader is not in a hurry."
"唳~"
Before Wei Jin finished speaking, a loud cry suddenly came out. Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and their eyes all looked in the direction of the sound.
At the end of the field of vision, a fiery red phoenix with a wingspan of more than ten feet was seen flying towards the camp.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the bird with fiery red wings was already above everyone's heads, and then landed suddenly.
When the phantom of the phoenix dispersed, Su Yu and Wei Lianyi in the field came into view.
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Wei Jin took a deep look at Su Yu.
Facing Wei Jin's gaze, Su Yu suddenly felt a ray of light on his back, as if he had discovered something bad he had done.
"It's impossible. I wear an instrument that blocks my spiritual consciousness. Unless he is promoted to the Martial Saint, everything that happens between Wei Lianyi and me will not be discovered by him."
Su Yu cursed in his heart and secretly warned himself not to scare himself.
Any old father would probably have misunderstandings if he saw his daughter spending a day alone in the forest with a hot-blooded man.
I think it was the same in Wei and Jin Dynasties.
He cupped his fists and bowed to Wei Jin, and then retreated very wisely.
Wei Jin chuckled and said, "Lianyi, how many monsters have you hunted?"
As Wei Jin asked, all the civil and military officials present looked at Wei Lianyi.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wei Lianyi took out the hunted monsters and the monster ear crystals one by one.
When they saw the demon crystals and demon beast ears piled up like a hill, the expressions of all the civil and military officials all changed, as if they did not expect Wei Lianyi to have such a terrifying harvest.
Immediately after the inspection officials counted the monsters Wei Lianyi had hunted one by one, they reported Wei Lianyi's summer hunting record.
"Third Princess Wei Lianyi hunted one fifth-order monster, six sixth-order monsters, fourteen seventh-order monsters, and thirty-nine eighth-order monsters."
Wow!
This terrifying record made everyone present's expressions change drastically, as if they had heard wrongly.
A fifth-level monster?
This. How is this possible?
That was a Hidden Dragon Realm monster. Wei Lianyi actually hunted and killed a Hidden Dragon Realm monster?
Even if she is a Hidden Dragon Realm warrior, it might not be realistic to hunt down a fifth-level monster, right?
Could it be said that she already has the cultivation level of Soul Palace?
But how is this possible?
How old is she?
Even Cao Zhen, who was on this trip to protect the safety of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, opened his eyes from his bowed head and looked at Wei Lianyi with a look of surprise on his face.
The eldest prince Wei Zongyuan and the second prince Wei Zongyue also looked extremely ugly at this moment.
Wei Lianyi's summer hunting record is incomparable to both of them combined.
Such a result was simply a slap in the face.
Wei Jin looked around and saw the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.
He chuckled and said: "It seems that there is no suspense about the leader of this year's summer hunt."
Upon hearing Wei Jin's words, all seven members of the cabinet were silent for a while.
It's really unimaginable how she and Su Yu could hunt so many monsters.
However, for both parties, Wei Lianyi's victory as the leader is not necessarily a good thing. On the contrary, it allows both parties to take a step back, so as not to make a fool of themselves in front of the civil and military officials.
"I announce that this year's leader is Wei Lianyi!"
In front of all the civil and military officials, Wei Jin loudly announced the leader of this year's summer hunt. At the same time, he took the Emperor's Sword presented by his father-in-law and handed it to Wei Lianyi.
"Ripple, this is the reward for the leader of this summer hunt."
Wei Lianyi took the Emperor's Sword and said respectfully: "Thank you, Father."
After Wei Lianyi took over the Emperor's Sword, Wei Jin looked around again and said loudly: "Ever since Wei saw it, this Emperor's Sword has been passed down to his successors from the current emperor."
"Now that I have handed over the Emperor's Sword to Wei Lianyi, I am here to announce an important decision!"
"From now on, we will make the third princess Wei Lianyi the crown prince!"
This short sentence shook the minds of civil and military officials like thunder.
None of the civil and military officials expected that the Wei and Jin Dynasties would take advantage of the situation and establish Wei Lianyi as the crown prince here.
Even the family members of the civil and military officials were stunned at this moment, as if they had heard wrongly.
Make the third princess the crown prince?
Isn’t the third princess born as a girl?
How can she assume the position of crown prince?
On the other hand, Su Yu outside the court seemed to have expected it, with a strange evil smile on his lips.
As for Liang Yuxuan and Sun Xicui, who were standing next to him, they had already opened their mouths and were watching the development of the situation in a daze.
"I'm afraid there will be something good to watch next."
Su Yu cursed in his heart.
Sure enough, as he expected, almost the moment Wei Jin announced that Wei Lianyi would be crowned prince, Wang Jinghui, the chief minister of the dynasty, had already stepped forward.
"Old minister, I beg your Majesty to take back your order!"
Wang Jinghui lamented: "Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a woman to succeed to the throne!"
"As a daughter, how can the third princess be the crown prince and succeed her to the throne?"
As soon as Wang Jinghui finished speaking, six cabinet members also came out and said in unison: "I beg your Majesty to take back your order!"
Immediately afterwards, all the civil and military officials said in unison: "Your Majesty, please take back your order!"
Seeing that all the civil and military officials were trying to prevent her from becoming the crown prince, Wei Lianyi's pretty face looked a little ugly.
Although Su Yu had asked her to prepare before, now she saw that all the civil and military officials were preventing her from becoming the crown prince.
She finally knew how many obstacles she faced if she wanted to become a prince.
Not only was Wei Lianyi's face a bit ugly, Wei Jin's expression was also a bit livid at the moment.
He looked around and said calmly: "Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there has been no precedent for a woman to succeed to the throne, but there is no rule that women cannot succeed to the throne. Why should you, my beloved ministers, disobey me?"
"Do you think that Lianyi is not qualified to be the crown prince and succeed me to the throne?"
"Isn't the blood on her body mine?"
"Lianyi's ability to hunt down enough monsters in this summer hunt, capture the leader and capture the Emperor's Sword has already proven her strength!"
All the civil and military officials said nothing, but looked at Wang Jinghui from the corners of their eyes.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wang Jinghui said respectfully: "What your Majesty said is true. Although in the Wei Dynasty, there is no rule that women cannot succeed to the throne."
"But if a woman succeeds to the throne, there will inevitably be many disadvantages."
"As the saying goes, men should marry when they are young and women should marry when they are young. Women have always been married as wives, supporting their husbands and raising children."
"Even ordinary people follow this tradition, let alone a country?"
"If one day the third princess succeeds to the throne and has a prince with the monarch, should the prince take the emperor's surname or the monarch's surname?"
"There is already a precedent in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Hundreds of years ago, the Western Zhou Dynasty's empress Zhou Xuan married the state minister Nangong Longting, which caused the subsequent Western Zhou emperors to rename themselves Nangong and became the laughing stock of the world!"
"Your Majesty, the imperial family of the Wei Dynasty must not have such a person who only makes people laugh after dinner."
"absurd!"
Wei Jin glanced at him and said calmly: "The way to govern a country has always been governed by the capable."
"Lianyi joined the Zhenwu Division in just two years. He started as a Zhenwu Guard at the lowest level. In just two years, he was promoted to the position of Zhenfu. He also helped me put down the rebellion in Yanzhou. He has made great contributions."
"And you, Wang Jinghui, want her to follow traditional etiquette and raise her husband and children?"
"Wang Jinghui, as the chief minister of the dynasty, you should help me find a suitable candidate to succeed me as emperor, but you only see the gains and losses in front of you."
"I think you are an old fool?"
Wang Jinghui said in a deep voice: "Whether I am old and confused will be judged by future generations!"
Wei Jin looked at him coldly and said calmly: "What if I insist on making her the crown prince?"
Wang Jinghui said: "If your Majesty insists on doing something perverse and rebellious, I beg your Majesty to allow me to beg for the bones."
Hearing Wang Jinghui's words, Wei Jin looked ugly and said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"
"Since Your Majesty wants to keep his word, I really don't know where else I can assist Your Majesty, so I might as well go into seclusion in the countryside."
"Okay, you want to beg for bones, right?"
Wei Jin said coldly: "I agree."
After hearing what Wei Jin said, Shen Xiaohan, the Minister of Punishment, also stood up.
"Your Majesty, I would like to beg for the bones."
"Your Majesty, I would like to beg for the bones."
Immediately after, Qi Xikun, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Huo Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came out one after another. In the end, the civil and military officials had already knelt on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Su Yu couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
As he expected, as a woman, Wei Lianyi's background was still too weak, even if the emperor was on her side.
How could the civil and military officials tolerate themselves kneeling in front of a woman every morning when they were so arrogant?
Looking at the large group of people kneeling in front of him, Wei Lianyi knew that he was probably going to put the matter on hold for the time being.
But she had already expected this outcome.
What she wants is to join the fight for the crown prince, and now it's time to sign up and try out the reputation of these guys.
"snort!"
Wei Jin snorted coldly and walked away with a livid complexion.
He knew very well that there was no point in continuing to persist.
Even if he is an emperor, it is impossible for him to carry out his decision when all civil and military officials are opposed to it.
After all, the battle for the crown prince ended in vain due to the persuasion of hundreds of civil and military officials.
But all civil and military officials knew very well in their hearts that Wei Jin would not give up, and neither would Wei Lianyi.
Of course, they won't give up.
Since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there has never been a female successor, and it will never happen in the future.
And I am afraid that the next battle for the crown prince will be the real undercurrent.
