Chapter 464 Dissuasion

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised that if the British king returned to Beijing, who would take over the northern territory?

Now the northern border has regained its disadvantage and is on par with Mongolia.

But this was because of the British king's reputation and his strong control over the army.

With the reputation of the British king and his superb military talent, he was able to regain his disadvantage.

Neither the princes nor the generals have the prestige and handsomeness of the King of England.

Once the King of England leaves, you can imagine that the situation in the north will suddenly decline again.

After he received the letter, he suddenly received another letter, but it was Li Hongzhao who sent someone to invite him to Mingyue Tower.

…

Chu Zhiyuan came to the elegant room in Mingyue Tower that Li Hongzhao always liked.

Li Hongzhao was wearing a fiery red shirt and was sitting quietly at the table with a calm expression.

After Chu Zhiyuan entered the room, he looked her up and down.

"What are you looking at?!" Li Hongzhao put down his wine glass and snorted.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "The sun is rising to the west. It's really rare to see you like this."

Since they met Li Hongzhao, they have been tit-for-tat every time they met, fighting with each other non-stop.

It's rare to see such peace now.

"I'm going back to Tianjing." Li Hongzhao said calmly.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at her.

Li Hongzhao said: "Get ready to leave tomorrow."

Chu Zhiyuan wanted to see if what she said was true or false. When he found out that it was true, he asked, "Are you in such a hurry?"

Although she left suddenly, this was Yujing after all, not Tianjing.

She will have to leave sooner or later. It seems that her cultivation level is almost enough. She can just practice the rest slowly and there is no need to worry about herself anymore.

Li Hongzhao hummed: "You don't have anything to ask?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Have you offended the emperor? Or maybe the emperor thinks you are not doing 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 his head and said: "I find it strange too, but this news does not come out of nowhere."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and thought.

He will think this is a joke.

There has never been peace between Dameng and Dajing. Only the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

When Dameng declined, there was peace in the north of Dajing.

When Dameng rises, smoke billows from the peaks in the north of Dajing, forming a ball.

Whether it is war or peace, it all depends on the strength of Dameng.

Dajing is almost always on the defensive, and there are very few people crossing the northern border into Dameng.

The relationship between Dajing and Dameng is different from the relationship between Dajing and Dazhen.

The customs of Dajing and Dazhen are similar, and they have been separated and combined for thousands of years.

But Da Jing and Dameng have never gotten along, never had peace talks, and have always been in a state of war.

It sounds ridiculous that the two dynasties want to have peace talks now.

Li Hongzhao said calmly: "Since we are going to have peace talks, there is no use for me here."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Why the peace talks? Because of the secret place? Dameng also left the secret place?"

Li Hongzhao shook his head.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and said, "Why is that?... Without big enough interests or changes, it is impossible for the two dynasties to cease the war, unless..., is there any change in the Emperor of Dameng?"

Dameng and Dajing have been fighting for so many years, and the current emperor of Dameng is in the stage of making great efforts to govern. How can it be possible to stop the war?

Unless there are huge benefits, such as the emergence of a new secret place, or other major events.

But I didn't hear the news at all.

"Father is seriously ill." Li Hongzhao said calmly.

Chu Zhiyuan was surprised.

Li Hongzhao said coldly: "I am very curious about why my father is seriously ill."

"Seriously ill..." Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

As an emperor, his cultivation level is naturally that of a great master, and a great master is invulnerable to all diseases.

Unless you reach the end of your lifespan, you will die without any illness in a short period of time.

The Grand Master was seriously ill, and there was only one possibility: he was seriously injured.

Emperor Dameng holds the Emperor's Sword, who in the world can seriously injure him?

Not even Emperor Dajing or Emperor Dazhen can do it, unless they join forces.

Li Hongzhao hummed: "Why do you think my father is seriously ill?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "I don't know."

"Didn't receive the message?"

"There is no news at all." Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "Do you have any doubts?"

"...It's hard to say." Li Hongzhao looked solemn.

Chu Zhiyuan stood up, walked a few steps with his hands behind his hands, and finally stopped: "Actually, the best response is to wait and see what happens, don't rush back."

The emperor is connected to the world, and his actions can affect the whole world. Once something goes wrong, the whole world will be in turmoil.

The closer you get to the emperor, the more severe the turmoil will be. The royal family, dignitaries, and Tianjing will all be in whirlpools, and they will be shattered into pieces if they are not careful.

It would be unwise for Li Hongzhao to go back at this time.

We must first find out what is going on with the emperor, and then it is not too late to go back.

Li Hongzhao hummed: "If you stay here, it will be too late for anything."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and smiled: "You have been blinded by ambition. Even if you are a grand master now, what is the use? With your merits, can you make the Emperor's Sword recognize its master?"

"In the entire royal family, the only one who has stepped into the Grand Master position is the eldest brother, and the eldest brother doesn't like these mundane things." Li Hongzhao said: "I will also step into the Grand Master position."

She felt that she would be able to become a great master on her way back to Tianjing from here.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If you become the Grand Master, can you become the Emperor?"

"It may not be possible."

"Not to mention the Emperor's Sword. Even if the eldest prince doesn't like worldly things, he is a man and you are a woman. It is impossible for you to do what the people want."

"..."

"Unless you have a huge amount of meritorious service, far surpassing that of the eldest prince, and the public support... In a few decades, there will be hope for you, but now there is no hope at all, so there is no need to act rashly."

"Can……"

Li Hongzhao's face was solemn.

She finally calmed down, but she was still a little unwilling.

Chu Zhiyuan said calmly: "What's more, why has the emperor ordered you to go back even though he hasn't had any results yet?"

"Father didn't order us to come here," Li Hongzhao said.

"If something happens to the emperor, it will be useless for you to go back. If nothing happens, if you go back in a hurry, it will be too conspicuous and attract people's attention, making your ambition known."

"I'm worried about my father, so there's nothing wrong with going back in a hurry."

"Who will believe what you say?...The emperor, the eldest prince, the princes and court officials, I am afraid that none of them will believe it, right?"

"..."

"Where is Mr. Su? Let Mr. Su go back and have a look before we talk. The Grand Master can travel faster."

"Mr. Su has already gone back to check on the situation."

Li Hongzhao was already moved, but did not agree immediately.

He agreed directly, as if he had listened to Chu Zhiyuan, and felt embarrassed.

"By the way," Chu Zhiyuan said, "When will those evil sect statues in Dameng arrive?"

"How can I think of getting these for you now!" Li Hongzhao said angrily.
