Chapter 249 Reveal
"My lord, His Highness the Twelve Prince Darie is ready to leave."
"Finally leaving?" Chu Zhiyuan sat in the Grand Master's chair, noncommittal.
Gao Lingfeng looked at his face and said slowly: "It is said that it was because of the injury... We had martial arts masters who affected Chi Yu during the conflict and the twelfth prince was injured."
"Is the injury serious?" Chu Zhiyuan put down the file in his hand and said lazily: "You are injured and you want to leave? Don't you heal your injury first before leaving?"
"The Twelve Princes think our Yujing is too unsafe, so they can't wait to leave and return to Dalie."
"..."
"Sir..." Gao Lingfeng hesitated.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "But it doesn't matter."
Gao Lingfeng said slowly: "This matter is a bit strange... When the Zhenwu Division was tracking down these martial arts masters, it turned out to be nothing."
The imperial court often takes matters involving foreign missions very seriously, and the Zhenwu Division also knows this rule.
No matter what, there should be an explanation.
For these martial arts masters, it is not a big sin because they only hurt people but did not kill them, and they did not hurt people intentionally.
After being caught, the punishment will not be too severe, just to make everyone look good.
But this time Zhenwu Division didn't catch anyone, as if they were deliberately conniving and deliberately embarrassing the twelfth prince of Dalie.
This was the dissatisfaction of the Twelve Princes, who wanted to force the Zhenwu Division to take action by leaving.
In fact, it is a disguised form of pressure.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Did you ask Zhenwu Si why?"
"Secretary Zhenwu said that these people escaped and disappeared without trace, and could not be traced."
"Isn't it perfunctory?"
"It's not like perfunctory, so this matter is a bit weird."
"Well, forget it then." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Gao Lingfeng was startled and didn't know why.
"I'm going to take a look at this twelfth prince and send him off, so as not to say that our great scene is not full of vigor and vitality."
"...Yes." Gao Lingfeng felt something was wrong.
He was also a keen person and noticed the disdain and dissatisfaction towards the Twelve Princes in Chu Zhiyuan's tone and demeanor.
Could it be that these twelve princes offended the crown prince?
Probably not. The princes from the Great Lie Dynasty were all extremely humble and flattering, and they regarded themselves as subordinates.
Never dare to offend the prince.
——
Chu Zhiyuan slowly came outside the Sifang Pavilion.
Cheng Tianfeng has left, and there are no longer Lingshuang cavalry guarding both ends of Sifangguan Street.
After the Lingshuang Cavalry left, the Cloud Riding Cavalry retracted and only guarded the Dameng Pavilion of the Sifang Pavilion, ignoring the rest.
At first glance, the Lingshuang Cavalry looked more arrogant and domineering than the Cloud Riding Cavalry.
The Cloud Rider is more low-key and restrained.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at the empty streets on both sides, feeling a little unaccustomed to it, and missed Cheng Tianfeng.
Cheng Tianfeng was his treasure and had given him a lot of things. It was thanks to him that he entered the country so quickly.
Thinking of this, he slowly said: "Master Gao, how is Brother Cheng doing? Are there any twists and turns?"
He expected that Cheng Tianfeng's journey away would not be so peaceful.
If Dameng wanted to destroy the alliance between the two dynasties, he would have to make a fuss about Cheng Tianfeng.
Even if they don't take action themselves, they will encourage the martial arts masters in Dajing to take action.
The martial arts masters in Dajing were unable to kill Cheng Tianfeng, but they were able to harass Cheng Tianfeng, thus forcing Cheng Tianfeng to kill.
If Cheng Tianfeng was fooled and killed, the people of Dajing would definitely be angry. If he spreads the word again, the army officers and generals might not be able to see it and start a feud, and the two dynasties would eventually turn against each other again.
"I haven't heard the news yet." Gao Lingfeng whispered: "Prince Cheng and the others left secretly and will not reveal their itinerary."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "I hope I can keep the secret."
The two of them had just stepped onto Sifangguan Street. After walking a few steps, they suddenly heard a clear chirp rising into the sky.
The chirping sound is like a crane or a phoenix.
Gao Lingfeng's face changed slightly and he whispered: "Is she Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess Dameng?"
Such a clear chirping sound had sounded once before, alarming half of Jade City.
The Ninth Princess of Dameng made a breakthrough on the eve of the competition with the Fourth Prince, which touched the hearts of countless people.
This time the sound was generally the same.
It should still be her.
Chu Zhiyuan noticed Li Hongzhao's situation and chuckled: "Another breakthrough!"
Gao Lingfeng was surprised: "This Ninth Princess is really amazing!"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Let's go and congratulate His Highness Ninth Prince."
Gao Lingfeng said: "Sir, I will wait outside."
"Yeah, that's fine." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Gao Lingfeng was avoiding suspicion. He is the heir apparent and does not need to avoid suspicion, but Gao Lingfeng is afraid of avoiding the Ninth Princess Dameng.
Dameng’s secret spies are too strong, so it’s best not to come into contact with them.
Chu Zhiyuan strolled to the front of the Dameng Pavilion.
Soon someone went in to report.
Amid a pleasant chuckle, Li Hongzhao appeared in front of him in a pink palace dress.
Radiant and beautiful.
"Oh, what a coincidence. If you came a step earlier, you might have interrupted my practice and my breakthrough."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and clasped his fists: "Congratulations, Your Highness, have you reached the fourth heaven?"
"That's right, I have to thank you for stepping into the fourth heaven." Li Hongzhao smiled like a flower: "Without your stimulation, I wouldn't have been able to improve so fast."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "So, the Fengzi Jiutian Jue becomes stronger with more setbacks, more intense stimulation, and faster progress?"
"That's right." Li Hongzhao waved his jade hand: "Come in and talk."
Chu Zhiyuan entered with a smile.
The Cloud Riders on both sides stared at him coldly, with strong hostility.
They all knew that Chu Zhiyuan once led his army to massacre more than two hundred of their comrades in the Cloud Riding Cavalry.
This revenge must be avenged!
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at them and said to Li Hongzhao: "How many soldiers and generals have you Dameng killed in my Dajing? When you came to Yujing, were you ever treated harshly by the court and looked down upon by officials?"
"What's wrong?" Li Hongzhao snorted: "I can't let them pretend to smile on you, can I?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Don't have a smiling face, and don't stare with such big eyes. It looks scary."
Li Hongzhao curled her red lips: "No wonder, you have always been as timid as a mouse."
Chu Zhiyuan's smile became even brighter, and he chuckled: "Yes, I am as timid as a mouse, but I am already at the eighth level."
"Isn't it the seventh level?"
Li Hongzhao's smile suddenly froze.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I came here to tell His Highness the good news. Not long ago, I broke through and entered the eighth heaven. We are all happy together."
Li Hongzhao lowered his face and said coldly: "I'm so happy!"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed, shook his head and said: "Then let me tell you another piece of good news, Ruo Ling has become the Saint of the Moon Palace."
"...That's really good news!" Li Hongzhao bit her red lip, her teeth were white and neat, and her red lip looked like it was about to be bitten, and hummed: "Sister Xiao has become a saint, you have got a lot of good things, right?"
She knew that there was a secret place in Yaoyue Palace.
As a saint, she would give her future husband some miraculous elixirs and natural treasures. As long as they were not excessive, no one would say anything.
Damn Chu Zhiyuan, he doesn't think well of himself.
Just when he had a breakthrough, just when he was excited, he would pop out to ruin his mood.
He is simply his own nemesis!
Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "It's nothing, it can't be too much. It's just three tall grasses."
"Did Yaoyue Palace really make Sister Xiao a saint?"
Chu Zhiyuan said with emotion: "It's beyond my expectation. I originally thought it was just for fun."
Li Hongzhao smiled again: "Sister Xiao became a saint, didn't your princess fly away?"
"It won't be too late to get married after she steps down as a saint."
"Can you wait?"
"For the great master, this is not long."
"Hmph, you can't become a grandmaster!" Li Hongzhao sneered.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I came here to congratulate His Highness, and also to see off the Twelve Princes of Da Lie. The Twelve Princes are preparing to return. Your Highness, why don't you come and take a look?"
Li Hongzhao suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at him warily.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Your Highness, please see this master of Wuxiang Sect with your own eyes."
"Nonsense." Li Hongzhao snorted: "Where is the master of Wuxiang Sect!"
"Then let's take a look?" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "See how I can expose him?"
Li Hongzhao narrowed her eyes and hummed: "Why don't you cheat on me?"
"Your Highness, please——!"
"...just go!"
Li Hongzhao didn't want to go, but was worried about what Chu Zhiyuan said, so he decided to go and have a look.
——
Dalie Hall
The twelfth prince Xu Jingren stood in the center of the courtyard with a solemn expression, looking up at the sky.
He felt inexplicable pressure.
There seemed to be invisible forces oppressing me all around.
This is an ominous feeling, I am afraid that my identity has been exposed!
