Huangxiu

Chapter 292 Reward
Li Hongzhao bit her red lips, her bright eyes twinkling, looking particularly charming and attractive.

Chu Zhiyuan, however, remained calm and said with a smile: "Unfortunately, you are not the emperor, so your words are not so effective."

"…How can you believe it?"

"I don't know either." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If you were me, would you believe Dameng's promise?"

"...I will ask the Mongols to withdraw their troops now." Li Hongzhao stared at Chu Zhiyuan with his bright eyes: "How do you think?"

Chu Zhiyuan pondered.

Seeing that he was indeed interested, Li Hongzhao said hurriedly, "This is a bit of sincerity, but we also have a condition."

"tell me the story."

"The great Mongolian martial arts masters have also joined the martial arts hall."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Aren't you asking me to hand over the secret?"

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Hand over the secret. Who knows if it will work?"

Just like martial arts, even if you know the techniques, not everyone can practice it.

Chu Zhiyuan's comprehension is so strong that it is rare in the world. The secret he mentioned is probably not something that others can master.

It may not work even if you say it.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to let him give you some advice directly.

Da Meng's goal is not to master the secret in his own hands, but to maintain the current balance of power.

Once this point is clear, there is no need to ask for his so-called secret.

You can study this slowly and work your way back through the breakthrough process of these disciples.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Then let's withdraw our troops first and let the Mongols send another delegation to negotiate. The specific terms still need to be discussed with the court. I am just a prince."

These high-ranking officials in the court may not be as good as me in terms of martial arts and understanding, but they are far better than me in handling such matters.

All he could think about was peace talks. As for what to do next and how to prevent Dameng from going back on his word, he had no idea for the moment.

It still depends on the wisdom of these high-ranking officials in the court.

Li Hongzhao said solemnly: "Okay, I will ask the Mongols to withdraw their troops first, and then send an envoy over."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: "Your Highness, I admire you."

It is really remarkable that he can make such a prompt decision.

Li Hongzhao said: "But I also need a proof, to prove that you really have this ability and are not lying."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "If you don't believe it, forget it. Why bother proving it?"

Li Hongzhao rolled his eyes at him and said, "You said you could advance your Xiantian Perfection to Grandmaster level in ten days. Do you think Dameng would believe it? ... To save yourself some trouble, why don't you send your two Xiantian Perfection to Grandmaster level first?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

"Chu Zhiyuan, you are too stingy!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "Even if the talks fail, two Grandmasters won't get in the way!"

"I have a narrow mind, there's nothing I can do." Chu Zhiyuan directly blocked her mouth.

He knew what Li Hongzhao was going to say next: Your vision is too narrow.

"Your vision is too narrow!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "How can you compete for the throne with such a vision?"

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: "What throne are you fighting for?"

"Enough!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "Why are you pretending in front of me!... We both know each other."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and waved his hand: "Your Highness is unfathomable, I am not as good as you."

Li Hongzhao glanced at him sideways, charming and attractive.

Chu Zhiyuan lowered his eyes and drank tea, pretending to be unable to bear her beauty.

As her cultivation improved, she became more charming and beautiful, so radiant that it was impossible to look directly at her.

This Nine Heavens Phoenix Cry Technique is indeed mysterious.

He has super senses and is as calm as a god, so how could he be easily shaken?

Only if you open your heart actively can Xiao Ruoling come in. If you don't open your heart, her beauty will be useless to him.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Originally, you were unsuccessful in your achievements and far inferior to Prince Ying, but now it's different. You are on par with Prince Ying. Next, it all depends on when you can become a Grandmaster."

The British king made great military achievements in resisting foreign invasion.

However, Chu Zhiyuan's move strengthened Dajing's martial arts and the Dajing court. His contribution to Dajing may not be inferior to that of King Ying.

Even better.

After all, the military achievements were not just the King’s, but Chu Zhiyuan changed Dajing’s strength all by himself.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's too early to say these things. Who can predict the future? I'm sorry I won't send you off."

He picked up the tea again.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Okay, then I'll go!" She stood up and walked away with her graceful figure.

-

"Oh..." Bai Ningshuang let out a long sigh.

She sat down slowly, rubbed her cheek, and glared at Chu Zhiyuan with reproach.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Chu Yi stepped forward to help Bai Ningshuang, gently punching her shoulders and waist: "Mom, tell me quickly."

"My face is numb from all the smiling today." Bai Ningshuang said unhappily, "It's just a waste of my smile."

"Brother is in trouble?" Chu Yi's eyes lit up.

Li Suyue also sat aside, keeping her head down and not saying anything.

Chu Minghou smiled and said, "Is it about the martial arts hall?"

Bai Ningshuang snorted: "What else could it be!"

Chu Minghou shook his head and smiled, "I am the same. I was pestered so much that everyone came up to me to get close to me. It was as if I had suddenly become silver. Everyone liked me."

Bai Ningshuang said: "Me too, every lady invited me to speak to them, and I couldn't refuse, so I had to meet them, one after another."

"Mother, what are these ladies saying?"

"Just some casual conversation."

"Didn't I ask you to let Big Brother help me?"

"Why are these ladies so anxious?" Bai Ningshuang said unhappily, "Even if they wanted to beg for mercy, they wouldn't say it clearly, let alone directly."

These ladies are all very capable. Even if they don't understand these things, they will learn them after a few years of immersion in the palace.

Of course, I won’t say these words right away, but I will first get closer to you and then say these things further.

"Brother is really popular now, hehe." Chu Yi's eyes lit up.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "This is not a good thing."

Chu Minghou said: "They don't think about it. If Yuan'er really wants to make an exception, how much trouble will it cause? If Yuan'er really wants to do this, who will still care about the rules of the court?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Father, don't worry."

He knew that Chu Minghou was pointing at him.

No exception can be made, otherwise there will be endless trouble, not only the trouble of personal relationships, but also the anger of the court.

Chu Minghou smiled and said, "You naturally know the pros and cons of this."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If you don't show any human feelings, you will be blamed."

Bai Ningshuang snorted: "Go ahead and complain, there's no need to pay attention to these unreasonable people."

Chu Minghou said: "I will report to my father and give you an imperial decree. If you break the rules, you will be severely punished."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

This is the safest way.

Just at this moment, Feng Xi's report came from outside that Huang Cheng had arrived.

Chu Zhiyuan was cheered up.

Huang Cheng naturally brought the emperor's order.

Soon, Huang Cheng entered the front hall accompanied by two middle-aged eunuchs in red.

Chu Zhiyuan stepped forward and greeted him with a fist.

Huang Cheng said with a smile: "My Lord, Prince, Princess, Princess, I want to congratulate you."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "What is the will of the Royal Grandfather?"

Huang Cheng smiled and took the imperial edict covered with golden silk from the sandalwood tray: "It's for the princess."

Bai Ningshuang was startled: "I——?"

Chu Zhiyuan opened the imperial edict and handed it to Bai Ningshuang with a smile: "Congratulations, mother."

Bai Ningshuang took it and quickly said in surprise: "You actually rewarded me with a farm."

Huang Cheng smiled and said, "There is also a reward for Lord Bai."

Bai Ningshuang's eyes were filled with even more surprise.

"The emperor said that the prince is like this, most likely because of the princess's teaching, so he should be rewarded."

Bai Ningshuang smiled sweetly, "Father is wise."

　The rest of the updates will be during the day.
