“The female emperor…” The four couldn't help but sigh.
This sense of shock lingered.
“I really don't know what's so great about this Ninth Prince that she was chosen by the Great Meng Emperor to be the emperor and accepted by the Son of Heaven Sword.” Chu Ziting sighed.
Just thinking about the obstacles involved, one knows how difficult it was. First, the original emperor had to accept it, and then the Son of Heaven Sword had to accept it.” Chu Mingxuan and Chu Zhichuan turned to Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Mingxuan said, “Fourth Brother, you have a close relationship with this Ninth Prince. You know her very well, right?”
Chu Zhiyuan slowly nodded, “Li Hongzhao is indeed very powerful.”
Especially after experiencing his setbacks, whether it's martial arts cultivation, state of mind, or even wisdom, she has made qualitative leaps.
“I really didn't see it back then that she could become the emperor of Great Meng.” Chu Mingxuan shook his head.
“I didn't see it either.” Chu Zhichuan said.
“I didn't see it either.” Chu Ziting shook his head, “Fourth Brother, what about you?”
Chu Zhiyuan didn't want to lie, so he smiled and said, “She has the Phoenix bloodline, which should be the key.”
He had always known Li Hongzhao's ambition. After all, Li Hongzhao practiced the Phoenix Nine Heavens Art, and she was bound to become a Grandmaster.
He could only sigh at the wonder of the world and the unpredictability of fate, which often exceeded expectations.
“Phoenix blood…”
Chu Mingxuan suddenly nodded, “No wonder.”
The Phoenix bloodline is very rare and strange. It is said to be ancient true blood.
This kind of Phoenix bloodline can directly practice the Phoenix Nine Heavens Art to the Grandmaster realm, or even beyond.
“Fourth Brother, are you on good terms with this Ninth Prince?” Chu Ziting smiled.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “Not really good.”
Chu Zhichuan said, “Now that she is the emperor, will she still negotiate peace with us?”
Chu Zhiyuan pondered in silence.
Chu Zhichuan looked at him expectantly.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Tenth Uncle is already on the road and will arrive in the capital soon.”
Chu Mingrui and his party were traveling very slowly, dragging their feet, and would arrive in the capital in a couple of days.
Chu Ziting said, “I'm afraid Great Meng will start another war, and Father won't be able to rest.”
Chu Zhiyuan nodded, “If there really is a war, Tenth Uncle will have to leave the capital again.”
In the Great Jing army today, there is no general who can compare with Tenth Uncle.
“Alas…” Chu Ziting looked helpless, “Father's health can't stand this kind of torment.”
“Tenth Brother is suffering.” Chu Mingxuan sighed.
Chu Zhichuan looked admiring, “A true man should be like Tenth Uncle.”
One person's safety and health affect the eyes of the entire court and the entire world.
This is what a true man should do, not like himself, just muddling along and accomplishing nothing.
Chu Ziting wore a bitter face and sighed, “I guess there will still be a war.”
Almost all new emperors launch wars to secure their thrones.
Chu Zhiyuan said, “That's not necessarily the case.”
New emperors do almost always launch wars. If Li Hongzhao wins, her prestige will rise.
But if she loses, her throne will not be so stable.
So the risk of this matter is extremely high.
Li Hongzhao knows quite a bit about what happened in Yujing and knows the changes in the strength of the Great Jing army.
So she will be more cautious and will not easily start a war, lest she lose her prestige in one battle.
Once defeated, Great Meng will fall into turmoil because of this, and it will be difficult for her to calm it down.
“Won't there be a war?” Chu Ziting eagerly looked at him.
Chu Zhiyuan slowly said, “If she is really the emperor, she will not easily start a war.”
Chu Ziting breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Zhichuan said, “Fourth Brother, you know Li Hongzhao better, so there won't be a war easily… Then there won't be any war in the future?”
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Maybe there will be peace for a while.”
The so-called division after a long time must unite, and union after a long time must divide. It is difficult to say how long this peace can last.
According to historical laws, there will eventually be another war.
But this world is a world of cultivation, and this law may be affected by cultivation.
If he can step onto the Grandmaster realm in one fell swoop and inherit the Son of Heaven Sword, then he can guarantee peace.
Or there may be deeper entanglements between each other, such as jointly developing secret lands.
Great Jing and Great Zhen already have such a connection.
Chu Ziting said, “Fourth Brother, there are more and more evil sect demons, right?”
Chu Zhiyuan nodded, “The number of people entering the city is increasing every day.”
“Aren't they afraid of death?” Chu Ziting said, “Knowing that entering the city is death, they still want to come in one by one?”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “These demons cannot be speculated by common sense.”
“In my opinion, not enough have died!” Chu Zhichuan sneered, “If a few more die, let's see if they dare!”
Chu Mingxuan smiled and said, “Those who dared are all dead, and the rest will not dare!”
Chu Ziting said, “Fourth Brother, I have an idea. Is it like this? The more people die, the more they think the Evil Emperor's cave is real, right?”
“That's possible!” Chu Zhichuan clapped his hands.
Chu Mingxuan said, “Reasonable, reasonable.”
They looked at Chu Zhiyuan.
Chu Zhiyuan nodded thoughtfully, “It does make sense.”
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why they are rushing to Yujing so resolutely to die.
Chu Ziting said, “Then there will be more pouring in.”
“Kill them all! Kill them all!” Chu Mingxuan chuckled, “It would be good to kill all these demons.”
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Try to kill them all.”
After Chu Zhiyuan left the Eighteenth Prince's mansion, he walked slowly through the streets and alleys.
The lights were bright and the extravagance was intoxicating.
Yujing City was extremely lively, even more lively than during the day.
He walked slowly, and Zou Fang followed closely behind, with Guo Chi and the others guarding the surroundings.
Chu Zhiyuan also cleaned up the inner city of Yujing City.
Then he returned to the palace.
When he returned to the palace, Feng Xi greeted him and lowered his voice, “Your Highness, everything has been arranged.”
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slightly.
Feng Xi quietly retreated.
Chu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of the east of the city.
Cheng Yifeng woke up very early the next day with a splitting headache.
He drank too much wine yesterday and was too drunk. Even if it was fine wine, the taste of a hangover was still uncomfortable.
He got up lazily and came to the front hall with a pale face. He saw Consort Shu tending to the flowers and plants in the hall, and Cheng Miaozhen reading a scroll.
He sat down opposite Cheng Miaozhen with a thud and let out a long sigh.
Cheng Miaozhen beckoned for the maid to bring up the porridge.
“Big Brother, are you feeling better?”
“Alas…” Cheng Yifeng rubbed his eyebrows, “I actually got drunk?”
“You always boasted about your large capacity.” Consort Shu snorted, put down the scissors, and came to the table, “You get drunk as soon as you drink.” Cheng Yifeng sighed, “I performed abnormally and made the prince laugh.”
“You still know to be ashamed.” Consort Shu snorted.
The maid tiptoed to serve the porridge.
Cheng Yifeng took it and drank it all in one gulp, letting out a long breath, “Much better.”
Then he said, “Let's go, let's go out to eat!”
“Still going out?” Cheng Miaozhen said helplessly.
Cheng Yifeng said, “Let's eat all the big and small restaurants in Yujing first.”
Consort Shu said, “Then let's go.”
Cheng Miaozhen looked at her elder brother and mother, who both loved to join in the fun, and could only get up and follow.
They came to a restaurant, sat on the lively second floor, and as soon as they sat down, they heard the discussions next door.
The discussions were all about the Evil Emperor's cave that suddenly appeared last night.
The Evil Emperor's cave actually appeared, and it was in the east of the city.
