Chapter 789 Gu Lang, is it time to go to the palace to rest?
Gu Xu lowered his head and looked at the crown in his hand - it was entirely golden, carved with dragons, phoenixes, flowers and trees, and inlaid with various gems. It was the traditional style of female emperors in the wild world.
His expression was a little complicated for a moment.
This daughter is really unfilial! He was not willing to help his old father solve his problems at all.
He had originally planned to retire completely after defeating the enemy and become a leisurely emperor!
After all, being able to lie down and enjoy happiness, and be a wealthy and idle man, has always been his dream in his past and present lives.
However, looking at his daughter's rosy face and the undisguised joy in her golden-red eyes, Gu Xu couldn't help but feel weak.
He thought to himself that it would be too derelict of his duty as a father to place the burden of the entire country on the shoulders of a child who is still so young.
No matter what, let your father protect you from the wind and rain for a few more years, so that you can have a carefree and happy childhood.
When you grow up, I can retire in peace.
While Gu Xu was thinking, he reached out and gently rubbed Gu Qingyan's head. Then, with a thought in his mind, a rag doll wearing a gorgeous palace dress appeared out of thin air in his hand, and he thrust it into his daughter's hand with a smile.
"A new gift for you." He said with a smile.
"Dad, you are so kind!" A bright smile bloomed on Gu Qingyan's pretty face, and her eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
Gu Xu's seemingly ordinary action fell in the eyes of the strong men in the nearby wilderness, but it made them look in shock and awe.
Creating something out of nothing is not something ordinary monks can do.
Even strong men in the seventh and eighth realms would find it difficult to violate the rules of heaven and earth and conjure items out of thin air.
However, for Gu Xu, who has entered the ninth realm and can rewrite the rules at will, this is nothing more than a trivial matter like eating and drinking.
Everyone looked at the rag doll in Gu Qingyan's hand with fiery and focused eyes, as if they wanted to understand some profound truth about heaven and earth from this seemingly ordinary doll.
At this time, Gu Xu held the golden imperial crown in his hand, turned to Zhao Yan aside, and said in a somewhat joking tone: "The Queen Mother, how about you be the emperor? Look at how well you have managed the country in these years. Well organized, much better than me. I will be your back-up.”
Zhao Yan glared at him lightly and said angrily: "You have a good idea! You just want to trick me into working for you for nothing so that you can hook up with the little girl, don't you?"
With that said, she grabbed the crown in Gu Xu's hand and put it on his head.
Gu Xu quickly manipulated the power of Taoism, and before the imperial crown touched his head, he changed the women's imperial crown into the men's Yishan crown.
He secretly thought that he might be the first emperor in the history of the wilderness to have a posthumous title while he was still alive!
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
All civil and military officials once again prostrated themselves on the ground, kowtowed in worship, and the sound of the mountains roaring like thunder, shook the entire capital.
On this day, Daxia once again welcomed its first and supposedly greatest king.
…………
Later, Gu Xu and Zhao Yan returned to Changchun Garden.
As a strong man in the ninth realm, Gu Xu can now incarnate everything in the world. His consciousness can run at high speed in a multi-threaded manner, instantly gaining insight into everything in the world, processing an extremely large amount of information, and his efficiency is far higher than in his previous life. supercomputer.
He made several paper figures, attached a few strands of spiritual thoughts to their bodies, and asked them to review memorials, discuss state affairs with his ministers, and handle post-war affairs on his behalf.
For Gu Xu today, the method of transmitting information through memorials seems cumbersome and inefficient, and going to court with officials to discuss matters is even more procrastinating and time-consuming.
Now that his strength has been greatly improved and the overall level of Taoism in Dahuang has also improved, he will definitely carry out drastic reforms in Daxia's official system in the future to make it more in line with the actual situation of Dahuang and truly keep pace with the times.
But right now, the more important thing is to reunite with his wives.
As the haze of the long night disperses, Changchun Garden is bathed in the long-lost bright sunshine. The lake surface is sparkling, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. The branches of the willow trees sway gently in the wind, casting a mottled shadow.
By the lakeside, Shangguan Jinjin, wearing a long green dress, stands quietly under the shade of a willow tree.
There was a slight smile between her eyebrows, her fingers flicked the hanging wicker, and her eyes were fixed on Gu Xu who was walking towards her.
Next to him, Xiao Wanjun, dressed as a scholar, was sitting upright on a big stone. His loose robe could not hide his graceful and graceful figure.
Seeing Gu Xu's figure, she stood up immediately, her eyes seemed to be filled with a thousand words.
Gu Xu couldn't help but smile on his face, quickly stepped forward and hugged the two of them respectively.
He noticed that Shangguan Jin was a little thinner than before, and there were faint traces of tears on her face without any makeup. She had obviously cried not long ago.
As for Xiao Wanjun, as a mortal with no cultivation, her appearance has obviously become much haggard over the years, and there are a few strands of white hair faintly mixed in between the black hair, adding a touch of wind and frost to the original softness.
"These years have really made you tired!" Gu Xu said softly.
His consciousness enveloped the entire Changchun Garden, and everything that had happened in the past few years was recalled in his mind like a tide - in the imperial study room not far away, the shadows of Zhao Yan, Shangguan Jin and Xiao Wanjun vaguely appeared. They were sitting or standing, talking solemnly about state affairs. He knew very well how heavy the pressure was on their shoulders when his pillar of support fell.
"Your Majesty saved the world twice, how can we do nothing?" Shangguan Jin smiled faintly and said, "Always try your best to make the world you protect with your life a better place."
"I have no cultivation and cannot help you fight against powerful enemies. I can only try my best to do some mundane things within my power," Xiao Wanjun said with a slightly trembling voice, "I never thought that I would see you again in my lifetime."
"I once promised you that I would keep you young forever and live forever," Gu Xu said seriously, "Since I have promised, I will definitely do it."
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and gently held Xiao Wanjun's face.
Her skin is still smooth and fair, like fine porcelain, but her cheeks are slightly thinner than they were a few years ago.
The invisible power of Tao poured into her body from Gu Xu's fingertips.
Time seemed to be reversing on her body, and her face gradually glowed with youthful brilliance, returning to the way it looked when they first met a few years ago - her face was like jade, her lips were like red dots, and her phoenix eyes were full of hope, smart and bright. , as if all the earthly wind and frost had never touched her.
Xiao Wanjun used to be around Gu Xu, but she always felt a little inferior.
Gu Xu is not only powerful, but his appearance is always fixed at the age of eighteen, but she is only a mortal, destined to age day by day.
Beauty is the thing she considers most precious but is also the most afraid of losing.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She often worries that if her appearance grows old, will he gradually get tired of her?
However, at this moment, when she looked at the reflection in the lake and saw that she had returned to her youthful appearance at her peak, the silver hair hidden between her black hair had all disappeared, the inferiority complex in her heart finally faded a bit. Standing next to him, she no longer felt so ashamed.
Then, Gu Xu's eyes turned to Shangguan Jin.
She is now only at the fifth level of cultivation, and she still cannot escape the shackles of time, and is destined to grow older as time goes by.
"No!" Shangguan Jin waved his hands repeatedly, "I still want to try to break through to the realm of a saint! If I really become an old woman and haven't succeeded in becoming a saint, please help me again!"
"Okay." Gu Xu agreed with a smile.
At this time, Zhao Yan, who had been standing quietly aside, tugged on his sleeves and whispered: "Gu Lang, you have been back for so long, should you go to the palace to rest?"
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, her head moved closer to his ear, and her hot breath gently brushed his neck, bringing a tingling feeling.
Obviously, the "rest" she said was by no means "rest" in the literal sense.
"Are you greedy so quickly?" Gu Xu teased.
"Nonsense," Zhao Yan responded confidently, "ordinary people would starve to death without eating for three days and three nights, let alone suffer like us for several years!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she unceremoniously took one of Gu Xu's arms in her arms and dragged him towards the bedroom.
"The Queen is right."
Shangguan Jin on the side was smiling, with a hint of cunning on his face, and his eyebrows were curved, like a clever little fox, and he hugged Gu Xu's other arm not to be outdone.
Perhaps it was because in the years since Gu Xu passed away, they had been handling state affairs together day and night in the Imperial Study Room. Zhao Yan and Shangguan Jin no longer often had tit-for-tat confrontations like before, but instead had a tacit understanding like sisters.
Xiao Wanjun stood there, hesitant.
As a latecomer, she could never be as unscrupulous around Gu Xu as Zhao Yan and Shangguan Jin, and was always a little reserved and respectful.
Even when the candles went out at night, she would always do whatever Gu Xu asked her to do obediently.
She always felt that with her own status, it was difficult to play with him without reservation like they did.
However, seeing the two sisters and her husband who had been together day and night about to go away together, she couldn't help but feel empty in her heart, and an unprecedented sense of loneliness came to her heart.
At this moment, Shangguan Jin stretched out his free hand to grab her, and said with a smile: "Sister Wanjun, come with us! With the strength of the two of us, we can't fight against him alone. We have to add You have the hope of winning against him!”
After hearing her words, Gu Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.
When he was still in the eighth realm, these three people were no match for him.
Now that he has entered the ninth realm, his physical body has become more powerful and more closely connected with the power of heaven and earth, almost like a perpetual motion machine.
With the three of them together, do they want to defeat him?
So cute and innocent!
The four of them laughed and joked and entered the palace together.
The curtains slowly lowered, completely isolating the inside of the house from the outside.
Outside the window, a strong wind suddenly passed by, causing waves to rise on the lake. The awning boat moored on the lake rose and fell with the wind.
From day to night, and from night to day, the waves never ceased, and the awning boat never rested for a moment.
