What surprised Chu Zhiyuan was, if the King of Ying returned to the capital, who would take over the Northern Territory?
The current Northern Territory has already turned the tables and is on par with the Great Meng.
But this is because of the King of Ying's prestige and his strong control over the army.
It was by relying on the King of Ying's reputation and superb military talent that he turned the tide.
Neither the Dukes nor the generals have the prestige and talent of the King of Ying.
Once the King of Ying leaves, it is foreseeable that the situation in the Northern Territory will immediately decline again.
After receiving the letter, he suddenly received another one, but it was Li Hongzhao who sent someone over to invite him to the Mingyue Tower.
Chu Zhiyuan arrived at the elegant room in Mingyue Tower that Li Hongzhao always liked.
Li Hongzhao, dressed in a fiery red silk robe, was sitting quietly at the table, her expression calm.
After Chu Zhiyuan entered the room, he looked her up and down a few times.
"What are you looking at?!" Li Hongzhao put down her wine glass and snorted.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The sun has risen in the west, it is really rare to see you like this."
Since knowing Li Hongzhao, every time the two met, they were always at odds, tit-for-tat, engaging in fierce verbal battles.
It is rare to see such a peaceful appearance now.
"I'm going back to Tianjing," Li Hongzhao said indifferently.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.
Li Hongzhao said, "Preparing to set off tomorrow."
Chu Zhiyuan wanted to see if she was telling the truth, and found that this was true, so he said, "So urgent?"
Although she left suddenly, this is Yujing after all, not Tianjing.
She was going to leave sooner or later. It seems that her cultivation is almost enough, and she can slowly practice the rest, so she doesn't need to entangle with herself anymore.
Li Hongzhao snorted: "Don't you have anything to ask?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Did you offend the emperor? Or does the emperor think you are not doing your job well and wants to replace you?"
Li Hongzhao said: "I heard that the two dynasties are going to start peace talks."
"Peace talks?" Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "How is that possible."
Li Hongzhao shook her head and said: "I also find it bizarre, but this news will not come out of nowhere."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and pondered.
He would think this is a joke.
The Great Meng and the Great Jing have never been at peace. There is only the east wind overwhelming the west wind, or the west wind overwhelming the east wind.
When the Great Meng declines, the northern border of the Great Jing is peaceful.
When the Great Meng rises, the northern border of the Great Jing is filled with smoke and they fight into a团.
Whether to fight or make peace depends entirely on the strength of the Great Meng.
The Great Jing is almost always on the defensive, and rarely crosses the northern border to enter the Great Meng.
The relationship between the Great Jing and the Great Meng is different from the relationship between the Great Jing and the Great Zhen.
The Great Jing and the Great Zhen have similar customs, and they have been divided and reunited for thousands of years.
But the Great Jing and the Great Meng have never been united, have never had peace talks, and have always been in a state of war.
Now the two dynasties are actually going to have peace talks, how absurd does this sound?
Li Hongzhao said indifferently: "Since we are going to have peace talks, I am useless here."
The Great Meng and the Great Jing have been fighting for so many years, and the current emperor of the Great Meng is in a stage of vigorous governance.
How could he stop the war?
Unless there is a huge interest, such as the emergence of a new Secret Realm, or other major events.
But I haven't heard any news about it.
"Father is seriously ill," Li Hongzhao said indifferently.
Chu Zhiyuan was surprised.
Li Hongzhao said coldly: "I am very curious as to why Father is seriously ill."
"Seriously ill — — —"
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
As an emperor, his cultivation is naturally a Grandmaster, and Grandmasters are immune to all diseases.
Unless he reaches the end of his lifespan, he will die suddenly in a short period of time.
A Grandmaster is seriously ill, there is only one possibility, he has been seriously injured,
The Great Meng emperor holds the Son of Heaven Sword, who in the world can seriously injure him?
Even the Great Jing emperor or the Great Zhen emperor cannot do it, unless the two join forces.
Li Hongzhao snorted: "Why do you think Father is seriously ill?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I don't know."
"Didn't receive any news?"
"Not a single piece of news." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Do you have any suspicions?"
" . — — — · It's hard to say." Li Hongzhao's expression was solemn.
Chu Zhiyuan stood up, walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and finally stopped: "Actually, the best response is to wait and see what happens,
Don't rush back."
The emperor is related to the world, and a single move affects the whole body. Once a problem occurs, the entire world will be turbulent.
The closer you are to the emperor, the more turbulent it will be. The royal family, dignitaries, and Tianjing will all be whirlpools, and a little carelessness will lead to death.
It is unwise for Li Hongzhao to go back at this time.
First, find out what is wrong with the emperor, and it will not be too late to go back.
Li Hongzhao snorted: "Staying here, it will be too late for anything."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled: "You are blinded by ambition. Even if you are a Grandmaster now, what is the use? With your merits, can you make the Son of Heaven Sword recognize you as its master?"
"In the entire royal family, only the eldest brother has stepped into the Grandmaster realm, and the eldest brother does not like these mundane matters." Li Hongzhao said: "I will also step into the Grandmaster realm."
She felt that she would be able to step into the Grandmaster realm on the way back to Tianjing from here.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "If you become a Grandmaster, you can become the emperor?"
"Not necessarily impossible."
"Let's not talk about the Son of Heaven Sword, even the First Prince, even if he doesn't like mundane matters, he is a man, and you are a woman. With the support of the people, it is impossible for you."
"Unless you have a huge amount of merit, far exceeding the First Prince, and the support of the people, — -- In a few decades, you will have hope, but now there is no hope at all, there is no need to act rashly."
"But — — ."
Li Hongzhao's face was solemn.
She finally calmed down, but she was still a little unwilling.
Chu Zhiyuan said calmly: "Moreover, there is no conclusion on what is wrong with the emperor, has he ordered you to go back?
"Father has not given any orders." Li Hongzhao said.
"If something happens to the emperor, it is useless for you to go back. If nothing happens, your hasty return will be too conspicuous, attracting attention, and letting people know your ambition."
"I am worried about Father, there is nothing wrong with rushing back. "
"Who would believe what you said? — — - The emperor, the First Prince, the princes, and the courtiers, I'm afraid none of them would believe it, right?"
"What about Mr. Su? Let Mr. Su go back and take a look first, Grandmasters travel faster."
"Mr. Su has already gone back to see the situation."
Li Hongzhao was already tempted, but did not immediately agree.
Directly agreeing would be like listening to Chu Zhiyuan, and she couldn't get over it.
"By the way," Chu Zhiyuan said: "When will the evil sect statues of the Great Meng arrive?"
"I don't have the mood to get you these things now!" Li Hongzhao said unhappily.
Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Is the matter of the evil sect a trivial matter? Maybe this time it was done by the evil sect! — — — — - And the matter of Uncle Shi, is it really not your Great Meng?"
"Absolutely not!" Li Hongzhao replied decisively.
Chu Zhiyuan took a deep look at her: "Okay, send the statues over as soon as possible."
"As long as your Great Jing's are not good?"
"Whether it is Great Jing, Great Meng, or Great Zhen, as long as there are statues of the evil sect, I want them."
"— · Okay." Li Hongzhao snorted.
Chu Zhiyuan had mentioned it before.
These evil sect statues are useless, and it doesn't matter if they are given to Chu Zhiyuan.
It would be best if the evil sect could be destroyed, and it could also better entangle Chu Zhiyuan and let him do less other things.
