System invasion, Queen fights monsters to upgrade, kills the system

The three people who returned to the palace secretly summoned Hua Qiuchuan immediately.

"Your servant Cai Qiuchuan pays respect to His Majesty."

"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."

After giving Hua Qiuchuan a seat, Yinshan Du and Xuzhou Jiao exchanged glances and began to ask questions.

"I summoned you here because I need to ask you something."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiuchuan immediately knelt down and saluted: "I don't know what your majesty wants to ask, I will tell you everything I know."

Tongfu saw the situation and helped Hua Qiuchuan up: "Guard Hua, His Majesty just has some routine questions to ask, Guard Hua, there is no need to be so nervous."

"Master Pu is right. My dear, just sit down and answer."

"As an emperor, I am so stupid that I didn't know that the harem was controlled by a thief. I am really derelict in my duty. If it weren't for Qiu Shan's careful investigation, I am afraid I would have been kept in the dark forever. Qiu Shan is such a talented person, I feel sorry for him."

Yinshandu was very humble, and as a superior he lacked his usual dignity, which made people want to open their hearts to him.

"Your Majesty, your words are too serious. Qiu Shan took the risk in order to expose the true identity of the deposed queen. Your Majesty did not pursue the fact that Qiu Shan and I swapped identities. My brother and I are very lucky. Moreover, Your Majesty also specially appointed Qiu Shan as the first-rank Protector of the Country Duke, which is the supreme honor."

Hua Qiuchuan knelt down again: "I thank your Majesty on behalf of Qiu Shan!"

Yinshan Du walked around the desk and helped him up himself: "My dear, please get up quickly. You don't know that Madre has been arrested and the entire guard station is leaderless. I can't sleep or eat well."

Speaking of this, Yinshan Du looked melancholy.

"After what happened with that vicious woman, I am really scared. The security of the palace is extremely important. You are the only one who has been with me since two years ago. As a first-rank sword-bearing guard, you are even more dedicated to your duties. Now in the entire palace, you are the only one I can trust."

"I wonder if you could try harder and take on this heavy responsibility?"

Hua Qiuchuan looked at the fragility in the eyes of this man standing at the top of the world, and his fighting spirit suddenly burned in his chest. He wanted to share His Majesty's worries.

"It is such an honor for Qiuchuan to be valued so highly by Your Majesty. I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty and die without hesitation!"

Yinshandu looked at Hua Qiuchuan who was kneeling on the ground to express his gratitude and nodded with satisfaction.

He really wanted Hua Qiuchuan to take this position. Just based on the deep blood feud between him and Hu Changqing, he would definitely uncover his hidden forces in the palace.

Hua Qiuchuan was very excited after getting promoted. He finally made it. But the excitement was gone before it lasted for a moment. Although he made it, Qiu Shan and Mei Zhen were gone.

Yinshandu watched Hua Qiuchuan's joy turn into sorrow, and knew in his heart that he must be thinking of Hua Qiushan, so he inserted himself directly.

"My dear, you are thinking of Qiushan. Qiushan and you are twins, and the relationship between you must be incomparable to that of ordinary brothers. Qiushan will definitely be very happy if he knows that you have been promoted."

"Your Majesty is right. Although Qiushan and I have the same face, our personalities are completely different. Qiushan is free and easy-going. He has liked strange things and things since he was a child. When my father taught him martial arts, he often slipped away halfway. Every time, I had to play two roles, which was very hard."

Perhaps because he thought of something funny, Hua Qiuchuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"I remember you said that Qiu Shan met a street performer when he was young?"

"Your Majesty, it is true. When Qiushan was six years old, an artist moved to our neighborhood. He was very powerful and could perform various transformations. Qiushan was very curious and stayed at his home every day. Perhaps because Qiushan was cute, the artist actually accepted Qiushan as his apprentice. Qiushan learned Qinggong from him."

"Since Qiu Shan is so powerful, how could he fall victim to that woman's murder? By the way, I have found out that the woman's name is Wu Lan, and she is the maid who died suddenly in the Taifu Mansion before."

"So, Wu Lan is not dead?" Hua Qiuchuan was very surprised.

"Well, she has been secretly entering and leaving the palace to do things for Hu Changqing. Moreover, she has never been discovered."

"So the person Meizhen and Qiushan noticed was actually her? How come she has such good kung fu?"

"Mei Zhen has known you for a long time, but has she never mentioned anything unusual about her?"

"Your Majesty, Mei Zhen rarely mentioned her to me, and only mentioned her in a few words. Wu Lan has always been a loner, and nothing unusual happened when she was with Hu Changqing. Hu Changqing valued her much more than the Mei sisters. As for her sudden death, Mei Zhen also said that she was hastily buried, and no one in the palace had seen her body."

Yinshandu rubbed his hands and thought for a long time, then nodded and said, "Well, in this case, we are on the same page."

"I never thought that her martial arts skills were so strong that even Qiu Shan was no match for her."

Yinshandu gradually started to bring the topic back to the main topic: "Did Qiushan tell us who she is?"

"Your Majesty, Qiu Shan was seriously injured at the time. He just said that Wu Lan was invulnerable to swords and spears and had strange moves. Qiu Shan was just lucky to injure her."

"Oh? What method did Akiyama use? He was lucky enough to injure her and send out such important information."

"I don't know. I only know that Akiyama's hands were covered with carbon powder, and some of it remained when he grabbed my hand tightly."

Yinshandu and ordinary Xuzhou Jiao looked at each other again. Could it be carbon powder?

"What weapons does Akiyama usually use?"

"Your Majesty, Akiyama is just like me. He can use swords and knives, and he also has some skills with dual swords. However, Akiyama usually carries a thunder ball with him."

"Thunderball? Can you still find it now?"

Hua Qiuchuan looked at Yinshandu's interested expression and nodded, "Of course, since it is Qiushan's relic, I have kept it well. Your Majesty, do you want to see it?"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you to bring it to me as soon as possible. I also want to see what a thunder ball that can beat a master looks like. If possible, it would be best if it could be equipped to the soldiers guarding the border, so that I won't have to worry about foreign invasions."

Hua Qiuchuan's blood boiled when he heard these words. He hurriedly saluted Yin Shandu and said, "I will take it right away and serve Your Majesty and my great hermit soldiers."

After saying this, he hurriedly left.

"My dear, please stay. If Qiu Shan has other relics, please bring them along. Qiu Shan is a man of great talent. If he had not been harmed by a traitor, he would have definitely benefited our Great Hidden Dynasty. We would not have been able to find only a few things from his relics. This is all my fault. I am sorry to Qiu Shan."

"My dear, please."

Hua Qiuchuan looked at the emperor who was bowing to him and felt sad for a moment. Yes, Qiushan was so outstanding. If he were still alive, he would have achieved something.

He quickly lifted up Yinshan Du's arm and wiped the tears from his eyes: "Your Majesty, before we entered the palace, we brothers swore that we would be loyal to the emperor and serve the country for the rest of our lives. Qiushan just fulfilled his mission. Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself. I will go home and get Qiushan's relics."

After saying this, he took his leave.

The three of them looked at Hua Qiuchuan leaving the Lizheng Hall with mixed emotions. If it weren't for Hu Changqing and the system, that willful young man would have surely shined.

Tonggong retracted his gaze: "Your Majesty, do you think that what Hua Qiushan used was carbon powder and thunder balls?"

"Master, have you ever heard of this thing?"

Yinshan Du asked as he pulled out a book from the bookshelf next to him, opened a page and handed it to Tongfan. Thunderball was written on it.

Pugong glanced at it and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is it. Hua Qiushan should have used this. I have seen it once before. Its lethality is roughly the same as the hole left by Wu Lan."

"But what is this carbon powder used for?"

Yinshan Ferry is also puzzled. According to Hua Qiuchuan, Hua Qiushan's hands were covered with carbon powder when he was dying. It must have been what he touched in the last moments. If it was not contaminated during the fight with Wu Lan, then it must have been touched when he was escaping from the palace.

But can a thunderball hit the system with just one? Isn't that too easy?

"Your Majesty, do you also think it's too simple? Logically speaking, even if the system uses Wu Lan's mortal body, it should be invulnerable to swords and guns. How could it be seriously injured by a thunder ball?"

Yinshan Du nodded. This was what puzzled him.

"We can only wait for Hua Qiuchuan to bring back the relics before we can see any clues."

I also think that apart from this, there is really no other way at the moment.

Yinshandu suddenly felt that no one around him seemed to hear Xuzhou Jiao's voice: "By the way, why hasn't Jiaojiao spoken a word?"

The two looked at each other and quickly turned back to look for it, but when they looked back, the ghost was no longer there.

Where are the ghosts?
