Chapter 253 Roots
Li Hongzhao glared at him hatefully.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at him.

Su Qiuyan watched from the side and shook her head, then disappeared in a flash, leaving only two people in the courtyard.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Your Highness, I won another game."

"Humph, it's just a win." Li Hongzhao said disdainfully: "What's the point of finding him back?"

"If we find him, we can break the situation of Dameng and make Dalie stop in his tracks."

"How ridiculous!" Li Hongzhao curled her red lips.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This twelfth prince is a genius of the Da Lie Dynasty. His words are effective in front of the emperor."

"It is not the place for a prince to comment on important matters of the court, let alone a twelfth prince!"

"Your Highness, you are the ninth princess of the Great Mongolia, the ninth child, and a princess. Aren't you still deeply involved in the affairs of the Great Mongolia?"

"How can I be like him!"

“Is it because of the Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Art?” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile, “The Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Art leads directly to the Grandmaster level, so he is treating you like a Grandmaster?”

"...Almost." Li Hongzhao snorted.

He revealed the secret in one sentence.

Because of his Phoenix Cry Nine Heavens Technique, he was enjoying the power and status of a grandmaster in advance.

How could the only one among all the princes and princesses who was certain to become a grandmaster have the same status as other princes and princesses?
Chu Zhiyuan said: "His Royal Highness the Twelfth Prince is the most talented among all the princes."

"Did you convince him?"

"It's enough to rescue him!" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "You kidnapped him and pretended to be him. If he doesn't hold a grudge against you, then you'd be a saint!"

"How can personal grudges interfere with the affairs of the court?"

"Haha..." Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Your Highness is really good at talking big. You won't let the affairs of the court interfere with your personal grudges?"

"..."

"For example, if it weren't for the hostility between Da Meng and Da Jing, could we have become true friends?"

"No!" Li Hongzhao snorted without hesitation.

I feel annoyed and my teeth itch when I see him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I didn't tell the truth."

Li Hongzhao sneered.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Dali Chao will not dance with you this time and will not mess around again."

"What about the Daguang Dynasty?" Li Hongzhao snorted.

"There is also the Daguang Dynasty?" Chu Zhiyuan looked at her in surprise.

Li Hongzhao glanced at him sideways, trying to see his expression clearly to see whether he really didn't know or was pretending.

“Haha…” Chu Zhiyuan clapped his hands and laughed: “Your Highness, do you really think I don’t know that Daguang is with you?”

Li Hongzhao frowned and glared at him, wishing he could draw his sword and strike him. His look was so hateful.

He is the only one in the world who dares to play tricks on me like this.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "The Da Lie Dynasty and the Da Guang Dynasty have always been enemies. It is a great achievement for you, the Dameng Dynasty, to bring them together."

"I am naturally very capable."

"It must have cost a very high price, right?"

"You want to know?"

"Forget it. Now all these costs will be wasted. It's really a pity."

"You are so hypocritical, Chu Zhiyuan!"

“I really feel sorry for you.” Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: “It must have been a huge price to pay. You were just one step away from success, but you failed at the last moment.”

Li Hongzhao curled her red lips and sneered in her heart.

It was indeed a huge price to pay, giving Dalie and Daguangchao an immortal tree respectively.

The fruit of the immortal tree is called the immortal fruit. After taking it, one can extend one's life by ten years.

The Phoenix Immortality Pill can only extend one's life.

This immortal tree is only found in the imperial garden of Dameng. It does not exist anywhere else in the world.

The immortal tree has been delivered, but what has not been handed over is the method of growing the immortal tree. How to make it grow strong and bear fruit both require unique methods.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the Dalie Dynasty and the Daguang Dynasty changing their minds.

Their emperors are not Da Jing and Daming, not all of them are grand masters, and their lifespans are not that long.

The higher the position of the emperor, the more he fears death.

Ten years of life is enough for them to take risks.

What's more, if Dajing really wanted to fight back, they would have Dameng in front to block it, so they didn't have to be too afraid. Dameng had already made it clear that Dajing was strong in the north and weak in the south, strong in the west and weak in the east, eliminating their fear of Dajing.

Dajing is now just an empty shell, especially the eastern region, which has no combat power at all. Even if it really takes action, it will not be able to do anything to Dalie and Daguang.

Chu Zhiyuan shone a light on her, and after noticing her expression, he frowned, knowing that this matter would be troublesome.

It seems that we need to first figure out what Dameng gave to Dalie and Daguang before we can prescribe the right medicine.

That depends on the twelfth prince.

He has now stood on Dajing's side, hates Dameng so much, and can't wait to go back and change Dalie's position.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Okay, now that we've rescued him, this matter is over."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

This is absolutely hypocritical.

How could it possibly come to an end? He must be trying to find his own flaws and look for opportunities to counterattack.

"Chu Zhiyuan, do you know Lu Yaofeng?"

"Lu Yaofeng... never heard of him." Chu Zhiyuan's heart shuddered, feeling strange.

"Forget it then." Li Hongzhao said, "Let me find someone who knows about it. It's normal for you not to know since you are so young."

"Who is this Lu Yaofeng?"

"A great master of our Dameng."

"How would I know him?"

"More than a thousand years ago, he came to the Great Jing Dynasty from the Great Mongolia and fell in love with a girl. In the end, the girl died unexpectedly. He lived a lonely life and was a tragic figure. Grandmaster... I'm afraid the longer he lives, the more torture he will suffer."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Lu Yaofeng..."

The more he chewed on the name, the more frightened he felt.

Finally found the source of the danger.

I have always felt that something was wrong and that there was a deadly danger in the East, and I have been looking for who or what force it was.

It turned out that it had fallen on this person, the great master from a thousand years ago, who should have been dead by now.

Then why do I feel so terrified and uneasy when his name is mentioned, and why does my intuition keep warning me?

He smiled calmly and said, "Are you looking for Lu Yaofeng's corpse? Or the cave?"

Li Hongzhao said: "If you help, we can explore this cave together."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "How do we divide the money?"

"You talk about profit first, what a disgusting face you have!...How about half for each of us?" Li Hongzhao snorted, "If you get the secret book, both of you can read it. If you get the rest, we can split it in half."

"Okay." Chu Zhiyuan readily agreed: "Then tell me the approximate location of Lu Yaofeng's cave."

"I have a map, but I don't know how far it has deviated." Li Hongzhao took out an old map from his sleeves.

He slowly and carefully opened it and spread it on the stone table.

Chu Zhiyuan went forward to take a look.

Although this map is old and different from the current one, the direction is correct.

The cave was indeed located due east.

He looked up at Li Hongzhao.

Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "How is it?"

Chu Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Who exactly is this Lu Yaofeng? Please tell me in detail."

"He was known as the best palmist in the world with his Qiankun Six Absolute Palms. If he hadn't been trapped by love, he wouldn't have left Dameng and come to Dajing, and died in a foreign land."

"Why didn't he return to Dameng after the woman died?"

"Maybe he wants to accompany that woman."

"Who is that woman?"

“…I don’t know about that.”

"It's better to figure it out." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

But my heart was extremely solemn and excited.

He was worried that Lu Yaofeng was too dangerous, but he was also excited that he had finally found the source of the danger and no longer had to spend energy and effort searching for it.

Now I can feel completely at ease.

"Then let's all go and ask around." Li Hongzhao said, "Actually, it's not that necessary. What we're looking for is Lu Yaofeng's cave, not that woman's. She's been dead for many years."

Chu Zhiyuan insisted: "It's better to find out clearly."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you." Li Hongzhao snorted.
