Chapter 465 Thoughts
Chu Zhiyuan left Mingyue Tower and went to the Supervision Department first to check the news in the north before returning to Prince Qing's Mansion.
On the lake in the back garden of Prince Qing's Mansion, in a small octagonal pavilion, a skinny old man and a handsome middle-aged man were engaged in a game of chess.
Sitting next to her was a beautiful woman in palace attire. She was in high spirits and wearing beads and jade, just like a fairy concubine.
She buried her head in playing the piano, and the sound of the piano was peaceful and quiet.
It was none other than Dazong Zheng Chu Qingyan, Prince Qing Chu Minghou, and Princess Bai Ningshuang.
The black and white stones on the chessboard are indistinguishable, and the situation is tragic.
Chu Minghou couldn't practice martial arts, but he was at the top level in chess and painting.
Chu Qingyan particularly liked and valued Chu Minghou. He was quite happy to stay in Prince Qing's Mansion and play several games with Chu Minghou every day.
Even though Chu Zhiyuan said that the danger was resolved, he still did not leave and stayed in Prince Qing's Mansion for a few more days.
Chu Zhiyuan came to the small pavilion.
Bai Ningshuang stroked the strings of the piano and waved her jade hands with a smile, signaling him not to disturb the two of them.
Chu Zhiyuan came to sit in front of her, looked at the chessboard with a smile, and shook his head.
Chu Qingyan's Heizi has fallen into a desperate situation, unable to save himself and struggling in vain.
Chu Qingyan stared at the chessboard, shrugged his nose, and hummed softly: "Are you going to see the woman?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Uncle, you should surrender, there is no need to struggle anymore."
Chu Qingyan snorted: "We're not in despair yet, I can make a comeback! ...Who are you meeting?"
Bai Ningshuang and Chu Minghou both looked over.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "This is His Highness Dameng Jiu."
"Li Hongzhao?" Chu Qingyan put down a sunspot with a solemn expression, as if a small sunspot was as heavy as a mountain.
Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and looked over: "It's best to stay away from her."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Bai Ningshuang said hurriedly: "Uncle Ninth, is it because she is Princess Dameng? This Ninth Highness is too beautiful and not dignified enough. She is not as good as Ruo Ling."
Chu Qingyan said: "She is different from the Xiao family girl, she is a real phoenix."
"Uncle Jiu, what's wrong with Phoenix?" Bai Ningshuang said, "You are too high-spirited?"
"Fate is hard." Chu Qingyan shook his head and stared at the chessboard to see how Chu Minghou would make his moves: "Most people can't keep it down."
"Uncle Ninth——!" Bai Ningshuang said angrily: "Don't say half-hearted words, make it clear, why can't the phoenix fall?"
Chu Qingyan chuckled and said: "You girl, all right, all right. You can't marry her unless you become the emperor. Otherwise, you will die if you marry her. This is the fate of the Phoenix bloodline."
"Is the Phoenix bloodline so powerful?" Bai Ningshuang said: "Isn't this equivalent to a curse?"
"It can't be said to be a curse. The benefits of the Phoenix bloodline are great. The Nine Heavens of Fengxiao can be directly accessed by the Grand Master, and it can be practiced very quickly."
"If you can't marry the person you want to marry, you will be unhappy for the rest of your life. What about the Grand Master?" Bai Ningshuang said.
Chu Qingyan shook his head helplessly: "Bai Yatou, you... are lucky to have married Minghou."
Chu Minghou chuckled and put down a white stone.
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head secretly.
Li Hongzhao does not want to get married, but wants to be an emperor, and his heart is as high as the sky.
He smiled and said: "Uncle, I heard that we are going to have peace talks with Dameng?"
"Well, it seems that peace talks are indeed necessary." Chu Qingyan solemnly picked up a black piece and looked around on the chessboard.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "The Emperor of Dameng is seriously ill and difficult to cure, what else can he do?"
Chu Qingyan said casually: "You are quite knowledgeable about the news. I just heard the news this morning."
"Really want peace talks?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "What about Dazhen?"
Chu Qingyan said: "It would be great if all three parties could live in peace."
Chu Zhiyuan shook his head and said nothing.
These words can only deceive the people. Chu Qingyan voted for the black piece and said helplessly: "I blame you for losing this set, because I can't concentrate and can't turn over!"
Chu Zhiyuan laughed.
Bai Ningshuang said in surprise: "Uncle Jiu, do you really want peace talks? Is Emperor Dameng really going to die?"
"I guess he got too carried away during his training and is about to pass on the throne." Chu Qingyan said: "When the new emperor ascends the throne, his thoughts are all on sitting tight in his seat. How can he think about fighting?"
"Obsessed?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Did any of our previous emperors become possessed?"
"Yes." Chu Qingyan nodded: "It's just that no one knows it. The fifth emperor Gaozong was obsessed with madness. Fortunately, the sixth emperor Xuanzong was wise and martial and became a grandmaster early, otherwise he would be in trouble."
"Why did you become obsessed?" Chu Zhiyuan said: "Can't the Emperor's Sword protect itself?"
"Who said that the Emperor's Sword can protect you from going crazy?"
"Will you still go crazy when you become a great master?"
"You are also a grand master now, and you also know the difficulties of cultivation. It would be okay if you were an ordinary grand master. As the emperor, your heart is higher than the sky, how can you be willing to do so."
"...too."
Chu Qingyan shook his head: "I just want to remind you that when you reach this state, you have to calm down, pursue a free and easy life, let nature take its course, and no longer be able to practice hard, rush and fight like before. That's right Going crazy.”
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
Chu Qingyan said: "The Grand Master's breakthrough is different from the first two floors. The Jade Tower and the Bronze Tower are more like dead things, while the Golden Tower is a living thing. It will not be passively beaten and will not fight back. It will bite back."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.
The Golden Tower can swallow up spiritual power. Even if you practice contemplation, some spiritual energy will inevitably float to the Golden Tower.
It's just that compared to before, most of them will focus on the objects they are visualizing.
The longer the time goes by, the stronger and more spiritual the Golden Building becomes, and the more severe the backlash will be.
Therefore, if you want to make a breakthrough, you must do it as early as possible and never delay it.
The golden period is when you set foot on the Grand Master, and you must not let it go.
"Anyway, let's take this as a warning." Chu Qingyan shook his head: "The emperor of Dameng is probably in his prime, he is arrogant and insists on breaking through, which has led to the current situation. Fortunately, the eldest prince of Dameng is Cheng Da I am a master, otherwise..."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "What will happen if there is no great master to succeed?"
Chu Qingyan hummed: "The emperor's sword has no owner, that is, the dragon and the snake rise from the land, and the world is in turmoil."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded solemnly.
Without the Emperor's Sword, the royal family would not have absolutely overwhelming power.
How can the great masters keep this in mind?
What's more, all the martial arts sects and forces in the world will be unscrupulous.
Under such circumstances, how can the world not be in chaos?
Chu Zhiyuan looked in the direction of Dameng, thoughtfully, his eyes shining.
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Qingyan simply pushed the chess pieces into the box next to him, stopped playing, and turned to Chu Zhiyuan: "You have many ideas, what do you think?"
Chu Zhiyuan said: "If Dameng's Emperor's Sword has no owner to choose from..."
"You kid, please don't have such an idea!" Chu Qingyan said: "Unless Emperor Dameng is dead, he can activate the Emperor's Sword even if he is obsessed with it."
Chu Zhiyuan looked in Dameng's direction.
Chu Qingyan said: "Assassinating the prince will cause endless troubles. It is best not to have such an idea...Besides, Emperor Dameng must have a back-up plan. What's more, how do you know this is not a trap?"
Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.
His eyes turned to the direction of Sifang Pavilion and fell on Li Hongzhao.
The range of the super-sensing cave photo is already six kilometers, enough to cover the Sifang Pavilion.
Li Hongzhao was sitting in the small courtyard of the Dameng Pavilion, listening to Su Qiuyan, who had a dusty look on his face.
In addition to Su Qiuyan, there are three middle-aged men, all of whom are great masters.
