He felt that Li Hongzhao's return this time was unpredictable, and she might be trapped in Tutu.
This was a good opportunity to intervene in the Great Meng royal family, and perhaps change the ownership of the Great Meng throne.
He would hand over his flying knife and then obtain Li Hongzhao's token.
In this way, he could easily sense her proximity, and even find her with this token.
He gazed into the distance, while concentrating on sensing, until Li Hongzhao walked out of his insight range, and he could still sense her direction.
He continued to sense, and after half an hour, he could still sense her.
The passing pedestrians hurried on their way.
Chu Zhiyuan and Zou Fang stood in the pavilion, out of place with the surroundings.
He suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the city gate.
He saw a group of guards surrounding a veiled girl leaving the city gate, her figure light and graceful.
Chu Zhiyuan recognized her as Cheng Miaozhen.
Cheng Miaozhen also saw Chu Zhiyuan, hesitated for a moment, and gracefully came to the pavilion.
Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fist and smiled, "Miss Cheng."
Cheng Miaozhen said, "What is the Heir doing here..."
"Sending off an old friend." Chu Zhiyuan said, "Is Miss Cheng here to welcome the Seventeenth Prince?"
Cheng Miaozhen nodded, "My elder brother will arrive in the capital today."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "A family reunion, congratulations."
Cheng Miaozhen nodded lightly, looking towards the end of the official road.
"My elder brother has no intention of fighting for the throne, he only wants to focus on cultivation."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "That's also good, quiet and leisurely, ---- if you stay in Yujing, it will be even quieter."
Cheng Miaozhen stared at him with her bright eyes, "I heard that Great Jing is going to negotiate peace with Great Meng."
"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan readily admitted.
This was something that had already been confirmed by Chu Qingyan, so there was no need to hide it from Cheng Miaozhen.
However, Cheng Miaozhen's news was quite well-informed.
"If you negotiate peace with Great Meng, will you break with Great Zhen?"
"...It's hard to say, but even if we break up, it won't affect the Princess Residence."
After all, she was a properly conferred Princess Jianing, a princess of Great Jing.
Moreover, Great Jing and Great Zhen have been splitting and reuniting, even if they break up, they will still reconcile in the future.
As for the future direction of the relationship between Great Jing and Great Zhen, he was not the emperor, so it was difficult to determine.
There were too many factors affecting the relationship between the two dynasties, and it was too difficult to predict.
Cheng Miaozhen nodded lightly, "I can't decide where my elder brother stays, it depends on his own ideas."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Is a top student of Wentian Cliff considered a true disciple?"
Cheng Miaozhen shook her head, "He is not a true disciple, he has not been taught the Wentian Secret Technique."
"Why is that?" Chu Zhiyuan asked.
As far as he knew, the aptitude of this Seventeenth Prince was extremely impressive.
"The Wentian Secret Technique will not be taught to members of the royal family."
"Why is that?"
"It was the agreement between Wentian Cliff and the Great Ancestor."
------ Since it was the idea of the Great Ancestor Emperor, there must be a reason for it.
No matter which dynasty's Great Ancestor Emperor, they were all top figures.
It was almost impossible for later generations to surpass them.
Therefore, the ancestral laws cannot be changed, and later dynasties almost all adhered to the ancestral laws.
It was very likely that this Great Ancestor was soft-hearted and didn't want his descendants to fall into pain.
The Wentian Secret Technique seemed mysterious, able to see the future, but little did they know that this was endless trouble and pain.
It would be good to be able to change the future after knowing it, but if you can't change it, then it is despair.
If you can change it, and you change it, then the backlash will never be small, and there will be more regrets and annoyances, endless troubles.
So it's best not to practice this technique.
This is to cut off the source of trouble, the Great Zhen Great Ancestor Emperor was also a powerful figure.
"Mother Consort wants to cook herself and invite you to a banquet to express her gratitude."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled, "It was just a coincidence, I actually took advantage of it."
Compared to being taught the Yin Yang Salvation Secret Scripture, helping Cheng Miaozhen perform this technique didn't cost him anything, but he gained the secret technique and the experience of performing it.
He got all the benefits, and he was still thanked, he didn't feel so at ease.
Cheng Miaozhen said, "After all, you helped save Mother Consort, ------ is it inconvenient, do you want to avoid suspicion?"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed and waved his hand, "Alright, then let's find a time."
Cheng Miaozhen said, "My elder brother is here, why not today?"
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Today is your family reunion day, I won't be an eyesore, let's do it another day."
"...Then how about three days later?" Cheng Miaozhen said.
Chu Zhiyuan was a little helpless and could only nod.
Cheng Miaozhen showed a hint of a smile.
In fact, she didn't want to invite Chu Zhiyuan to a banquet, after all, it would be awkward for the two of them to be together.
But Consort Shu had been repeatedly nagging in her ear, insisting on seeing this famous Fourth Heir.
She could only agree.
She also knew that Chu Zhiyuan was unwilling, so she could only shamelessly invite him.
In the end, she still invited him.
It could be considered an explanation to her Mother Consort.
"Little Sister!" A clear laugh came from a distance.
Immediately, a burly figure rushed over quickly, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye, stirring up a gust of wind.
"Elder Brother!" Cheng Miaozhen was immediately delighted and went forward to greet him.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at this burly youth, with thick eyebrows, a lion nose, and a wide mouth, rugged and bold.
This surprised Chu Zhiyuan quite a bit.
In his imagination, this Seventeenth Prince should be a handsome man.
But the result was so rugged and bold, standing with Cheng Miaozhen, they really didn't look alike.
Only vaguely between the eyebrows there were some similarities, saying they were siblings was not surprising.
This was the Seventeenth Prince of the Great Zhen Dynasty, Cheng Yifeng.
Cheng Yifeng patted Cheng Miaozhen on the shoulder, turned his head to look at Chu Zhiyuan, and cupped his fist, "This brother is...?
"Elder Brother, this is the Fourth Heir."
"Oh?" Cheng Yifeng immediately cupped his fist and smiled, "I have long admired your name, Fourth Heir, thank you, thank you!"
Chu Zhiyuan cupped his fist and smiled, "Seventeenth Prince, you have worked hard all the way."
He could see that Cheng Yifeng was travel-worn, with a face full of wind and frost.
Obviously, he had been rushing without stopping.
As a prince, he didn't even have a close-fitting eunuch by his side, nor did he have guards, just him alone, he was really brave. No matter what, he was still a prince, even if there were no Grand Masters secretly protecting him, he should have guards.
If he was a Grand Master like himself, then there was nothing to say, he didn't need guards.
But he was only a Grand Master Sixth Level.
Walking alone in the world, rushing from Great Zhen to Great Jing, one can only say he was brave and lucky.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Seventeenth Prince has just arrived, I won't bother you, I will visit another day, I will take my leave first."
As he spoke, he cupped his fist and left.
Before leaving, he nodded slightly to Cheng Miao.
Cheng Miaozhen hurriedly said, "Don't forget the third day, the evening of the eighteenth, the Princess Residence."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded in agreement, cupped his fist again with Cheng Yifeng, and turned around, taking Zou Fang away.
Cheng Yifeng watched his back disappear into the city gate, turned his head to look at Cheng Miaozhen, "Why is this Fourth Heir here? He wouldn't be here specifically to welcome me, would he?"
His eyes wandered over Cheng Miaozhen's face.
Cheng Miaozhen felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and hurriedly said, "He came to see off a friend."
"Is it a man or a woman?"
"...I didn't ask." Cheng Miao shook her head and hurriedly said, "Elder Brother, let's talk about you first."
Her relationship with Chu Zhiyuan was awkward, and she felt awkward whenever he was mentioned.
Cheng Yifeng left the pavilion and walked outside.
Cheng Miaozhen hurriedly followed, walking side by side with him, asking about his experiences at Wentian Cliff.
Cheng Yifeng picked out some thrilling and exciting things to tell her.
But Cheng Miaozhen heard the unfinished meaning in his words, and keenly realized that there was a woman.
