Chapter 193 Ridiculous
Dajing Libu
The main courtyard where the Minister of Rites resides has a main house and two rows of side rooms on the left and right.

The clerks and officials coming and going were in a hurry.

A large portion of bright sunlight entered the main house, making it bright and soft.

Prince Zhuang sat behind a desk, closed his eyes and lay motionless, as if he had turned into a statue.

He has a square face and a solemn and awe-inspiring expression.

Chu Zhiyuan sat in the armchair next to him and looked at him quietly.

After a while, Chu Zhiyuan said, "Sir, am I being too reckless? Should I discuss this with the Ministry of War first?"

"Well..., we have to make decisions based on the situation. Under the circumstances at that time, we can't help but say hello first. Otherwise, I don't know how long I will have to argue with the Ministry of War."

"That……"

"This is a great idea!" Prince Zhuang said slowly, "For the sake of the country and the people, it is a good deal to exchange these useless people captured by the Great Mongolia for the lives of the evil sect monsters!"

This matter cannot be judged simply by the number of people killed, but also by its impact, the impact on the evil sect, the deterrence to the evil sect, and the impact on the entire martial arts world.

The destructive power of these evil sects and monsters is astonishing. It is possible that they have practiced some evil skills and can kill hundreds or thousands of innocent lives.

It is much better to destroy these monsters in advance and avoid innocent casualties than to kill them later.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Thank you, sir."

"You... don't have to be so steady, it's okay to be a little hasty," Prince Zhuang said with a smile, "You are the prince, don't be bound 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 a prince and a member of the officialdom, he actually has privileges and does not need to strictly follow the rules of officialdom.

Of course, you can only listen to half of this, not all of it.

If it is really as he said, and he can do whatever he wants, he will not be punished, but he will probably lose his official position.

Everyone has their own calculations.

Prince Zhuang said this because he was a cautious person and therefore would not be too radical.

But it can do greater things.

Prince Zhuang was the Minister of Rites. The more capable his subordinates were and the bigger the things they did, the more proud and credited he would be as their superior.

In the evening, after dinner, Chu Zhiyuan came to the Anguo Mansion.

The lanterns are on.

The back garden is already brightly lit.

Xiao Ruoling and Xiao Ruoyu were practicing sword skills in a small training ground between the flower gardens. One's sword light was as surging as raging waves, while the other's was as ethereal as swaying shadows among flowers.

When Chu Zhiyuan entered the mansion, Xiao Ruoling had just started a sword fight with Xiao Ruoyu.

Xiao Ruoyu is full of confidence.

He felt that his cultivation had advanced further and he had entered the innate realm. Moreover, this sword technique was most suitable for him. After practicing for just one day, he felt like he had practiced for a year. He had reached the level and was definitely stronger than Xiao Ruoling.

As a result, after the fight, he was again restricted.

The raging sword moves could not stop Xiao Ruoling's light, graceful, and unpredictable sword.

He was defeated at every turn and felt extremely frustrated.

When Chu Zhiyuan came to the side, he hadn't noticed 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 about my swordsmanship?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It can be considered as entry."

Xiao Ruoyu then realized Chu Zhiyuan and said unconvincedly: "Brother-in-law, my elder sister is just a beginner? What about me?"

"You suffer from a weak cultivation base, and you haven't really mastered the swordsmanship yet." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"Then will I be able to surpass my elder sister after I enter the sect?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If your eyesight is not good enough, no matter how good your swordsmanship is, it will be useless. You can't defend against her sword."

"But I just can't tell the truth." Xiao Ruoyu was helpless.

"Watch more sword techniques, and your eyesight will naturally improve." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "You can't train your eyesight like you train your skills. There's no point in being anxious."

"Okay." Xiao Ruoyu left dejectedly.

He was still tactful and didn't want to disturb the two of them being alone. After he left, Chu Zhiyuan duelled with Xiao Ruoling and gave her some pointers.

Xiao Ruoling had a very high level of comprehension, and Chu Zhiyuan was as insightful as a god, so he gave guidance and pushed the situation forward at just the right pace.

Stop when you feel you have had enough to avoid biting off more than you can chew.

The two returned to the pleasure boat.

After the two maids prepared the tea and snacks, they left, leaving only the two of them in the houseboat.

The two were alone in the room, and the atmosphere was filled with charm for a moment.

Xiao Ruoling then told him the news she had heard during the day.

After hearing about the disadvantages of Tongtian Grass, Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly: "As expected, it is so."

"There are quite a few Tongtian grasses in the secret place, we should be able to take some out." Xiao Ruoling said, "You can take a look at it when the time comes."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then I will benefit from it."

Xiao Ruoling gave him a blank look.

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 of them hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's heartbeats.

Chu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry. She was definitely his wife. She was like a feast. He should not be impatient. It was best to savor her slowly.

The two of them just snuggled up to each other quietly, experiencing the harmony of their souls.

After a while, Chu Zhiyuan talked about the confrontation with Li Hongzhao today.

Xiao Ruoling smiled and said, "She actually came to the Duke's Mansion, but I avoided her and she never came again."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It is indeed better to have less dealings with each other."

"Did the evil sect really appear in Taizhou this time?"

"It should be true."

"Then be very careful." Xiao Ruoling looked at him with concern: "The evil sect may want to kill the prince and the prince the most."

Few masters in the world dare to attack the crown prince and the prince, but the evil sect's demons like to kill the prince and the crown prince the most.

Even if you are a master, it would be dangerous if you encounter those evil monsters from the evil sect.

Their magic skills are so sinister and vicious that it is hard to guard against them.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I am now the Left Minister, why should I go into battle myself? I can just let the Zhenwu Division take action."

Xiao Ruoling smiled.

……

"I want to go along?" Chu Zhiyuan frowned slightly and stared at Li Hongzhao in front of him, looking at him as if he was a fool: "What's going on?"

The two were sitting in the elegant room of Mingyue Tower, still sitting in their original positions, as if time had gone back to the past.

The atmosphere in the room was tense.

Chu Zhiyuan stared at Li Hongzhao with an impatient look.

He was usually calm in front of others, but he showed no restraint in front of her. There was no need for him to be like that with his enemy.

Li Hongzhao was fearless and smiled: "If I don't watch it myself, how can I know how many evil sect monsters you have killed? You must be trying to fool me!"

“What about me?” Chu Zhiyuan pointed at himself: “If you are worried, just keep an eye on me. Why do you need me?… I am the left minister, not a master of the Zhenwu Division!”

"Are you scared?"

"I don't want to take the risk. There's no need to fight the evil sect monster in person."

"What about the masters of the Zhenwu Division?" Li Hongzhao asked, "Are they so cheap that they want to fight the evil cult monsters themselves?"

Chu Zhiyuan was silent.

This left him speechless.

I am the crown prince and the left vice minister, so my life is indeed more precious.

But you can think this way, but you can never say it out loud.

"Let's compete to see who has killed more evil sect monsters!" Li Hongzhao said with a proud smile, "Do you dare to compete?"

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "This idea is too ridiculous. I'm sorry I won't accompany you."
