Chapter 193 Absurd
Dajing Rites
The main courtyard where the Minister of Rites is located has a main room and two rows of side rooms on the left and right.
Scriveners and officials came and went in a hurry.
Most of the main house has bright sunlight, making it bright and soft.
Prince Zhuang sat behind a table, closed his eyes and remained motionless, as if he had turned into a statue.
He has a face with Chinese characters and a solemn expression, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
Chu Zhiyuan sat in the Taishi chair next to him and looked at him quietly.
After a long while, Chu Zhiyuan said: "Sir, am I doing this too much? Should I discuss it with the Ministry of War first?"
"Well..., the matter is urgent. Under the circumstances, there is no way to say hello first. Otherwise, I don't know how long we will be arguing with the Ministry of War."
"Then..."
"This is a very good thing!" Prince Zhuang said slowly: "For the country and the people, it is a great deal to use Dameng to capture these useless people in exchange for the lives of evil sect monsters!"
This matter cannot only be calculated based on the number of people killed, but also its impact, the impact on the evil sect, the shock to the evil sect, and the impact on the entire martial arts world.
The destructive power of these evil sect monsters is astonishing. They may have practiced an evil skill and can harm hundreds or thousands of innocent lives.
It is much better to eliminate these demons in advance and avoid innocent casualties than to exterminate them after killing people.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Thank you, sir."
"You..., you don't have to be so prudent in your actions, it doesn't hurt to be more cautious," Prince Zhuang said with a smile: "You are the prince, don't be constrained by the red tape and rules of the officialdom and lose your enthusiasm for doing things!"
"Yes, thank you sir!" Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.
He understood what Prince Zhuang meant.
As the heir apparent, he actually has privileges in the officialdom and does not need to strictly follow official rules.
Of course, you can only listen to half of this, not all of it.
If he really wants to do what he says and do whatever he wants without being punished, he may not be able to protect his official position.
Everyone has their own calculations.
Prince Zhuang said this because he acted prudently, so he would not be radical at all.
But greater things can be done.
Prince Zhuang is the Minister of Rites, and the more capable his subordinates are, the greater the work they can do. As a superior officer, he also has a bright face and merits.
——
In the evening, after dinner, Chu Zhiyuan came to Duke Anguo's mansion.
The lanterns are on.
The back garden was already brightly lit.
Xiao Ruoling and Xiao Ruoyu were practicing swordsmanship in the small martial arts field between the gardens. The light of one sword was like a raging wave, and the other was as wispy as a sparse shadow among flowers.
When Chu Zhiyuan entered the house, Xiao Ruoling and Xiao Ruoyu had just started a sword duel.
Xiao Ruoyu is full of confidence.
I feel that my cultivation has taken a step further and I have entered the innate realm, and this swordsmanship is the most suitable for me. After practicing for a day, I feel that after practicing for a year, I am beginning to have the temperament, and I must be better than Xiao Ruoling.
As a result, after the fight, their hands were tied again.
The sword moves like raging waves could not stop Xiao Ruoling's light, elegant and unpredictable sword.
He was retreating steadily and felt extremely frustrated.
When Chu Zhiyuan came to the side, he hadn't noticed it yet.
When he was stabbed in the chest by a sword, he could only stagger back and look at Xiao Ruoling unwillingly.
Xiao Ruoling looked at Chu Zhiyuan with a smile: "How is my swordsmanship?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "It's considered a beginner."
Only then did Xiao Ruoyu notice Chu Zhiyuan and said unconvinced: "Brother-in-law, eldest sister is just starting out now? What about me?"
"You are at a disadvantage because your cultivation is weak, and your swordsmanship is not yet a real beginner." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.
"Then will I be able to beat my eldest sister when I get started?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "If you don't have enough eyesight, it's useless no matter how good your swordsmanship is. You can't guard against her sword."
"But I just can't tell the truth." Xiao Ruoyu was helpless.
"Watch more swordsmanship. Watching more will naturally improve your eyesight." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Practice your eyesight and do not practice it like you practice martial arts. There is no point in rushing."
"Okay." Xiao Ruoyu left dejectedly.
He still had a look and didn't want to disturb the two of them when they were alone. After he left, Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling competed with each other with swords and exchanged a few words.
Xiao Ruoling's understanding was extremely high, and Chu Zhiyuan was as enlightened as a god. He pushed the boat forward just right with the guidance of the current.
Stop when you feel it’s almost done to avoid biting off more than you can chew.
The two returned to the boat.
After the two little maids made tea and snacks, they left, leaving only the two of them in the boat.
The two were alone in the house, filled with a charming atmosphere for a while.
Xiao Ruoling then told the news she had learned during the day.
After hearing the disadvantages of Tongtiancao, Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "It's true, as expected."
"There are a lot of Babel grass in the secret place, I should be able to get some out." Xiao Ruoling said: "You can take a look at it then."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Then I will take advantage of it."
Xiao Ruoling rolled her eyes at him.
This charming look made Chu Zhiyuan unable to control himself. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
Warm and fragrant soft jade enters the arms.
The two hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's heartbeats.
Chu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry. She was definitely his wife. It was like a big meal. It was not advisable to be impatient. Savoring it slowly was the best thing.
The two just cuddled up quietly, feeling the connection between their hearts.
After a while, Chu Zhiyuan talked about today's confrontation with Li Hongzhao again.
Xiao Ruoling pursed her lips and smiled: "She actually came to the Duke's Mansion, but I avoided seeing her and never came again."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "It's really better to have less contact."
"Did the evil sect really appear in Taizhou this time?"
"It should be true."
"Then be extremely careful." Xiao Ruoling looked at him with concern: "The evil sect may want to kill the crown prince and the prince the most."
Masters from all walks of life in the world rarely dare to attack the prince and the prince, but the demons of the evil sect like to kill the prince and the prince the most.
Even if you are a master, you are still in danger when you encounter those monsters from the evil sect.
Their demon skills are insidious and vicious, making them difficult to guard against.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I am Zuo Shilang now, why do I have to go into battle personally? Just let the Zhenwu Division take action."
Xiao Ruoling smiled.
……
"Should I follow you?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned slightly and stared at Li Hongzhao in front of him, looking like a fool: "What kind of trouble is this?"
The two of them were sitting in the elegant room in Mingyue Tower, still sitting in their original positions, as if time had gone back in time.
The atmosphere in the room was tense.
Chu Zhiyuan stared at Li Hongzhao with an impatient expression.
He was usually calm in front of others, but he didn't restrain his emotions in front of her. There was no need to do this to an enemy.
Li Hongzhao was confident and smiled: "If you don't watch it personally, how would you know how many evil sect monsters you have killed? You will definitely fool me!"
"What about me?" Chu Zhiyuan pointed to himself: "Don't worry, just stare, why do you need me?... I am Zuo Shilang, not a master of Zhenwu Division!"
"Are you scared?"
"If you don't want to take this risk, there is no need to fight with the evil sect demon in person."
"What about the masters of the Zhenwu Division?" Li Hongzhao said: "They are so cheap that they want to fight the evil cult in person?"
Chu Zhiyuan was silent.
This left him speechless.
He is the heir apparent, and he is the Zuo Shilang. Life is indeed more precious.
But you can think so, but you must never say these words.
"The two of us will compete to see who can kill more demons from the evil sect!" Li Hongzhao said with a proud smile, "Do you dare to compete?"
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "This idea is too ridiculous, I won't accept it."
