Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

"Yes, it's the Five Nations Competition held every five years, and this time it's Dasheng's turn to host it." Luo Mangong personally brought her tea and stood beside her and whispered.

Xiao Zhixing put down the brush in his hand and dug out the relevant information about this matter.

Two hundred years ago, the five countries fought each other and no one could determine the winner. Finally, the kings of the five countries sat down to negotiate and proposed this compromise competition.

The competition includes literary and martial arts competitions.

The literary aspect includes poetry, songs, essays and strategies; the martial aspect includes individual combat and group combat capabilities.

The prizes for the competition are a bit of a joke. It is said that the prizes will be used to resolve controversial issues between the contestants based on the rankings, and the one who comes first will have the most say.

For example, if you occupy my territory, I, as the first person, have the right to demand that you give it back.

Why do we call it a joke? Because over the past two hundred years, the results of this competition have only been implemented a few times.

Most of the time, countries choose to shirk their responsibilities.

But they never get tired of organizing the Five-Nation Competition, and every time they do it they want to make it a grand event to show off their power among the five countries.

Xiao Zhixing picked up the pen again and sneered, "Shouldn't this kind of house-playing game be cancelled?"

She believes that whoever has the bigger fist is right, so it would be better to just fight with real swords and guns than to hold this kind of competition.

Luo Mangong bowed slightly, "It should indeed be cancelled, but after all, it is a custom of our ancestors. If our country does not participate, it will seem out of place."

Xiao Zhixing glanced at him and asked, "What does this have to do with me?"

He came here eagerly to bring up this matter, it couldn't be just a casual remark, could it?

Luo Mangong cupped his hands and said, "By order of His Majesty, I want you to be in charge of this competition on behalf of Dasheng."

Xiao Zhixing's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Your Majesty really wants to tire me to death. I just came back from the northern border and I want to rest for a few days."

Luo Mangong smiled apologetically, "You are the most talented young man in Dasheng, both civil and military, with outstanding achievements. If you stand there, Dasheng will win."

Xiao Zhixing nodded at him, "I didn't realize that Eunuch Luo was so sweet."

Luo Mangong smiled kindly.

At this point, she just accepted it and it wouldn't be a big deal to compete according to the previous rules.

And now the Northern Barbarians are divided into three parts. I wonder how they are going to come and participate in the event?

More than twenty days later, Xiao Zhixing returned to Shengjing again after three years.

Now I am a 19-year-old girl, and looking at the ancient and majestic city walls of Shengjing from afar, I feel quite familiar with it.

"Your Highness, there are people welcoming us from the front." Not far from the Shili Pavilion, Shi Jiaowu, who had good eyesight, hurriedly reported.

Xiao Zhixing couldn't help but smile, she knew who it was.

When the three years were up, the young men scattered in the thirteen states returned to Beijing one after another. Even Li Wenxiu, Lin Rushu and others came back earlier than her.

She was the last one to arrive. Oh, Mu Wan was with her, also in the team, and she came urgently from behind.

At this time, Huo Baijun and Xiong Chumo led the young men and they rode over on horseback.

"Your Majesty!"

"Prince Yuan Sheng!"

"Wanwan!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiao Zhixing smiled, "Hahaha, everyone, after three years, you are still as charming as ever!"

Huo Baijun and the others excitedly dismounted and saluted, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Zhixing jumped down and patted him and Xiong Chumo on the shoulders. "Very good. I am proud of you. Our General Huo and General Xiong are famous in the south and have not lost the reputation of our Xiao family army."

The two men grinned foolishly, without any trace of the majesty of young generals.

Lin Rushu led the others to exchange greetings with Mu Wan, then turned around and saluted her, "Your Majesty."

Xiao Zhixing helped them up one by one, his eyes gentle, "Our seven female monarchs are now famous all over the world, they are all great."

Zhao Xianyin's eyes were slightly red, and she covered her mouth with her hands and laughed softly, "We are not as good as the prince, we are just following his lead."

Xiao Zhixing couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Yinyin is still so lovable."

Zhao Xianyin teased her coquettishly, and everyone laughed.

Xiao Zhixing paused, then reached out and patted Zhao Xi, who was standing there silently with a thin face, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Zhao Xi's throat tightened instantly.

Only she herself knew how hard her life had been during the past three years, being caught between Zhao Xianyin and the Feng family.

On one side are like-minded friends, and on the other side are aggressive relatives.

She managed to hold on with just one breath, but she was unwilling to give up.

As one of the Seven Lady Kings, she didn't want to be any worse than them.

Seeing this, Zhao Xianyin held Zhao Xi's hand and comforted him silently.

Li Jun led the others to pay their respects, "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for three years. Your elegance is beyond our reach."

Three years ago, she was merely Prince Yuansheng, a rising star, and a madman who was unworthy of her position.

And now, she is the brightest sun in Qianyuan Continent, shining for thousands of miles.

Xiao Zhixing smiled, "Don't be modest, everyone. Everyone who comes out of our Junziyuan is pretty good."

For a moment, everyone was talking and laughing, very happy.

When they arrived at Wuliting, they took the usual rest and washed up. Xiao Zhixing and his men set up camp and they returned to Shengjing first.

Luo Man said: "There will be an entry ceremony tomorrow. Your Majesty will lead all the officials to welcome us in person."

After doing it once, Xiao Zhixing became familiar with it.

He continued to read memorials and handle affairs all night long. The next day, he got up in high spirits and put on his armor.

Once again, there was a bustling celebration with flowers and a ceremony even grander than the last time.

Xiao Zhixing and his soldiers stood before the emperor.

Fulu sang the imperial edict of reward loudly, and even Huo Baijun, Xiong Chumo, Mu Wan and others were among them, and they became Generals of the Central Army.

"…I hereby grant King Yuansheng the right to meet the emperor without kneeling, grant him the golden armor of the emperor, grant him the power to manage the military and political affairs of the twelve states in the north, and grant him the title of Grand Marshal of the Armies of the World. I decree this!"

The scene was completely silent, and Li Xiao did not fall down thanks to the help of several of his old ministers.

Not to mention the other ministers, each of them became a wooden sculpture.

They knew that the emperor was now completely crazy.

What’s the difference between this and giving the throne to Xiao Zhixing?

Some members of the Zhao clan had grim expressions on their faces. If it weren't for Zhao Zhong's stern warning, they would have almost jumped up to object on the spot.

Zhao Yunqi seemed not to notice the expressions on the ministers' faces, as if their parents had died.

He personally took the imperial edict, walked in front of Xiao Zhixing, who was as tall as him, and smiled gently, "Come, Yuansheng, take this imperial edict."

Xiao Zhixing met his eyes that showed no other emotions, then lowered his eyes to stare at the bright yellow imperial edict.

Under the gaze of the crowd, she hesitated for only a moment before accepting the imperial edict with both hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

She heard the Emperor System say weakly: "Zhao Yunqi, you must be doing this on purpose. You are forcing me, right?"

Zhao Yunqi said calmly, "I don't want to cause any more trouble for Dasheng. I want to become the founding emperor of this country. This is my selfish desire. If I don't force you, you will still hesitate."

"Old friend, you have to believe in me. My choice is the best for you!"

The Emperor System fell into a long silence.

When Xiao Zhixing entered the palace and all the ministers sat down for the celebration banquet, they heard it say indifferently: "Zhao Yunqi, you won. You are indeed the most cunning."

Zhao Yunqi just smiled and said nothing more.

Xiao Zhixing inexplicably became more alert. She didn't believe that the stubborn Emperor System would completely surrender.

Maybe he's holding back some big moves.

At the scene, the emperor raised his glass to celebrate with his ministers, and then drank a glass with her alone. The banquet ended peacefully.

After the emperor left, Xiao Zhixing bowed to Li Xiao and others.

Just like when she first appeared, everyone watched her get up and leave first.

But at this time, many officials followed her and left, almost half of the court.

There are military generals, Bai Fengmei, and more than ten people from the Gentlemen's Court.

Li Xiao held the cup with a complicated expression.
