I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 144: Yueyao, the daughter of Beique Emperor
"Baozi, freshly baked buns——"

"Fried fried dough sticks."

"Gold and silver pancakes, freshly made pancakes!"

"..."

The streets are bustling with people, and the sounds of vendors shouting and hawking are endless.

An old man and a young boy were walking on the busy street, attracting many people's attention.

Speaking of which, there is no shortage of handsome men in Qiandong City. The young master in the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion is a first-class handsome young man, but the young man walking by is really too handsome.

The young man was about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a sky-blue brocade robe, with a double fish pendant hanging on his white jade belt, and his long hair was tied up with a black headband. He had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, a handsome and elegant face, and a handsome appearance that could bring disaster to the country and the people.

"Wow, mother, look, that little boy is so handsome."

"Shh~ Stop yelling, aren't you ashamed?"

"Whose young man is that? He is more handsome than the little bully in Qiandong City."

"Such a handsome boy, I will never forget him once I have seen him. He must not be from our Qiandong City."

"..."

Chu Zhao seemed to be oblivious to the praises from the young girls and young women on the street. He walked slowly on the street with his back to his back, a pair of slender hands that were whiter than those of women in seclusion. His steps were steady and powerful, and his eyes that seemed to contain the gentle years would occasionally glance at the things around him.

I have to say that the people in Qiandong City are very simple and honest, and the public security is very good.

Under the governance of Baili Luochen, Marquis of Zhenxi, although the military's might remained undiminished, the military and civilians lived in harmony. The army was very peaceful towards the people, and the people loved the soldiers very much and were very close to each other, as could be seen from the fact that vendors dared to chat and laugh with patrolling soldiers.

Chu Zhao bought some buns and ate them while saying to Zhao An, "You see, after the fall of Western Chu, people still live their lives as they should. Everyone says Baili Luochen is a butcher, but even under the governance of this butcher, Qiandong City is probably even worse than Chujing back then."

Zhao An glanced around, his eyes dimmed, and he sighed: "The governance is indeed good, but many familiar faces and many familiar things are no longer seen."

Chu Zhao was not so sentimental and asked, "Are there any survivors of Western Chu in Qiandong City?"

"No more. Manager Zhao took the last batch away last year."

When the Western Chu State was destroyed, many people in the city of Lausang died.

The remaining small number were either captured by the Beili army and taken elsewhere, or were labeled criminals and driven to the outer cities or suburbs to do the hardest, most tiring and dirtiest work.

It can be confirmed that the people of the entire Qiandong City are now Beili people, not Xichu people.

They occupied the land and houses that originally belonged to the people of Western Chu, and enjoyed the prosperity and peace that should have belonged to the people of Western Chu.

Chu Zhao smiled faintly: "Very good, this way, I don't have to worry about anything in the future."

Just then, the sound of horse hooves rang out, accompanied by the sound of wheels rolling over the bluestone brick street.

Then a luxurious carriage made of sandalwood drove past Chu Zhao and Zhao An.

The carriage was driven by a cold-looking girl who looked to be in her teens. The carriage was covered with a layer of white gauze, and one could vaguely see a woman covered in white gauze sitting in the carriage.

The two white horses pulling the carriage were spotless; even Chu Zhao, who knew nothing about horses, could tell they were top-quality horses.

In modern society, it is definitely a limited edition Lamborghini.

You can't buy it with money.

You also need power!

Looking at the carriage passing by, Chu Zhao smiled and said to Zhao An, "Someone is leading the way, follow us!"

The two men followed the carriage at a leisurely pace, their steps not fast, looking like ordinary people walking, but they were able to keep up with the running carriage.

"Sir, that carriage is guarded by experts. Judging from their aura, they should be experts from the Free and Easy Heaven Realm... There are two of them."

Chu Zhao nodded: "I know, someone from Tianwaitian."

"Tianwaitian?"

Zhao An was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly: "Is the person in the carriage the princess of Beique?"

"If my guess is correct, it should be the Northern Palace Emperor's daughter - Yue Yao."

In fact, Yueyao and he are kindred spirits.

Although Beique established Shengtian Sect and took control of Tianwaitian, it was actually a destroyed country.

A princess of a fallen country, a prince of a fallen country, there is nothing wrong with them saying they are kindred spirits.

Of course, the life of the princess of a fallen country was much better than that of the prince of a fallen country.

"Sir, what is Princess Yueyao doing in Qiandong City?"

"She does whatever we do."

"She is here for Gu Chen too?" Chu Zhao hummed, "She probably wants to ask Gu Chen to help Tianwaitian. As for what exactly she is here for, it is unknown."

As they were talking, the carriage turned a corner and stopped.

"You two, I wonder why you have been following me all the way?"

The sound came from the carriage, but it sounded clear and pleasant, as if it came from the clouds.

"We just want to ask Miss Yueyao to lead the way. We have no ill intentions."

In fact, he had a map given by Chen Ping, but it was too rough and a little difficult to understand. He had planned to ask questions along the way after breakfast, but he didn't expect to meet the princess of Beique, which would save him some trouble.

There was silence in the carriage.

After a long while, a girl in white clothes and a white veil walked down from the carriage.

Seeing the young man in front of her, the girl couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise in her exposed eyes.

What a handsome boy!

Yue Yao was amazed in her heart, but asked calmly on the surface: "I wonder how you know me, sir?"

The boy is so handsome that anyone who has seen him will definitely be impressed.

So Yueyao was very sure that she had never seen the boy in front of her, so how did he know her?

Wait a minute, a natural martial vein?!
This is really hard to find, and it takes no effort to get there.

As she was thinking, two figures appeared in front of her.

The two figures, one fat and one thin, were two of the Four Great Masters of Tianwai Tian.

can't.

No sky.

The four great masters of the Heaven Beyond Heaven, namely, No Law, No Heaven, No Form and No Zuo, are all masters of the Free and Easy Heaven Realm.

"Miss."

The two men shouted, and the tall and thin one suddenly saluted and said, "Greetings to His Majesty the Ninth Prince and the Chief Eunuch."

"Western Chu has been destroyed, so where does the Ninth Prince come from?" Chu Zhao shook his head and smiled, "It's useless. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've lost a lot of weight. It seems that the food in Tianwaitian is not very good. How about you follow me?"

Unable to: “…”

The reason why he didn't want to show up before was actually because the Ninth Prince was too enthusiastic and he couldn't handle it.

Yue Yao, who heard the conversation between the two, suddenly remembered one thing. That was about six or seven years ago, her father and Wu Bang went out to do business. After returning, he suddenly announced that he would go into seclusion to practice Xu Nian Gong. But before the seclusion, he mentioned that she or her sister Yue Qing should marry the Ninth Prince of Xichu who escaped death.

"Are you Chu Zhao, the ninth prince of Western Chu?"

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the princess of Beique opposite him seemed to suddenly become a little shy.

Is it because he is too handsome that the girl feels embarrassed?

It has to be said that what makes him most satisfied in this life is his appearance.

With his current appearance, if he were in modern society, he could work at least 20 years less.

Chu Zhao nodded and said nothing.

Zhao An, who was half a step behind him, bowed slightly and said, "This old servant greets Princess Yueyao."

"Bei Que has long been dead, so let's not talk about the princess's words."

Yue Yao's tone was filled with sadness. She turned her head slightly to look at Chu Zhao and said slowly, "Ninth Prince, isn't it inappropriate to poach people from Tianwai Tian in front of me?"

"It's just a joke, Princess, don't mind it. Is your father okay?"

What I said before was not a joke at all. Do you think she is stupid?!

Yue Yao snorted in her heart, but said politely on the surface: "My father is fine, thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

You are quite a good actor. If I hadn’t known that Yuefeng City was closed, I would have been fooled by you.

"is it?"

Chu Zhao smiled faintly, "Princess, now that we have finished chatting, isn't it time to leave?"

"What do you mean by that, Your Highness?"

"Aren't you going to look for Gu Chen? It just so happens that I am also going to look for Gu Chen, so please lead the way, Princess."
