Chapter 369 Confrontation
Li Hongzhao was still in that private room.

She was wearing a red palace dress, which made her skin look white and smooth.

Leaning lazily against the window frame, her eyes calm as she looked down at the people coming and going on the street.

When Chu Zhiyuan came in, what he saw was her flaming red lips and stunning beauty.

She had an indifferent expression, as if she were a goddess looking down on the world.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled, clasped his fists and said, "Has the Phoenix Blood Pill arrived?"

Li Hongzhao turned around, and a cold jade box flew out of her sleeves and shot towards Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan took it, opened it and took a look.

The ten red pills were each the size of a longan, symmetrical and flawless.

Li Hongzhao glanced at him and sneered, "Are you afraid that I will cheat? I am not you!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and closed the Cold Jade Box: "How have I ever cheated? How is Dameng doing recently? Has it been beaten badly on the battlefield?"

Li Hongzhao said disdainfully: "It's just a temporary setback, why are you so proud of it!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's not a minor setback, right? The Cloud-Stepping Iron Cavalry can't stop the Lightning Spear Formation."

He learned from Chu Mingrui's letter that the North had won a number of victories recently.

Two more captains were killed.

The centurions of Dameng are the backbone of the army, and the loss of one of them is of great significance.

A total of eight centurions died in the thunder spear formation, which was a heavy loss.

The Stepping Cloud Cavalry has no way to deal with the Thunder Spear Formation so far. They can only be on guard again and again and avoid it in advance.

Li Hongzhao sneered: "I haven't congratulated you yet, you are going to marry the eighteenth princess, a stunning beauty. You must be very proud to have two stunning beauties as your concubines, right?"

Of course she knew what Chu Zhiyuan was thinking. He didn't want to marry Princess Dazhen and didn't want to have anything to do with Dazhen.

But Dazhen insisted on marrying the princess to Chu Zhiyuan.

In the end, Dazhen got what she wanted and married the Eighteenth Princess to Chu Zhiyuan.

According to the information she received, Dazhen had already confirmed it and Emperor Dajing had agreed.

No matter how reluctant Chu Zhiyuan was, he could not go against the order of Emperor Dajing.

She could imagine how aggrieved Chu Zhiyuan was, so she deliberately poked his wound and hurt each other.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I am so lucky to have such a beautiful woman. Naturally, I am very proud of it."

Even if he decided to break up this marriage, he could not show weakness in front of Li Hongzhao.

"Humph." Li Hongzhao sneered: "I'm afraid you can't afford this good fortune!"

"Why can't you afford it?" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "This eighteenth princess is a virtuous person, one of the best candidates for the princess. Countless men in the world envy me to death."

"Hehehe..." Li Hongzhao suddenly burst into laughter, and her body shook.

The red palace dress shook and trembled along with her body, surging.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned and stared at her.

Li Hongzhao reluctantly stopped smiling and shook his head, saying, "A woman was forced into the palace, and you're still being stubborn!... You must be so angry, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and changed the subject, not wanting her to provoke him any further, and said, "Did the Great Mongolian delegation go to Daguang?"

The only way to stop Daguan from attacking Dalie and to stop Daguan from taking advantage of the situation is to send an envoy to persuade them in person.

Sending a letter or giving something cannot stop the actions of the Daguang Dynasty.

The hatred between the two dynasties was too deep to be resolved or reconciled and could only be suppressed.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "How can I know the news of Dameng when I am here?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It seems that an envoy has been sent out."

Li Hongzhao's face darkened and he said coldly, "Chu Zhiyuan, be careful!"

She cursed inwardly.

I shouldn't have met Chu Zhiyuan. I accidentally let his secret slip out.

But every time I meet him, it is a challenge, a huge challenge.

After each challenge, one can improve his Fengli Jiutian Jue further.

Dazhen's Gao Jiuqu used him as a whetstone, and he did the same.

Chu Zhiyuan is the best whetstone, the one and only whetstone in the world.

Without this whetstone, he would not be able to reach his current realm and level. In just over two months, he has risen to the sixth level, which is rare in the world.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "What are you being careful about?"

"Be careful with Wen Tianya," Li Hongzhao said, "You can't escape Wen Tianya's plan."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled without saying anything.

Li Hongzhao's words were somewhat exaggerated, but they were obviously not groundless.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Don't you want to know what Wen Tianya is planning?"

"Do not want to."

"Then I will say it."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's nothing more than the throne and inheritance."

He speculated that Wen Tianya wanted to find out why he was improving so fast and wanted to find out the real mystery.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Sure enough, he's not stupid."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "There is nothing to hide. I don't have anything to plan for. Aren't you curious about why I've made such rapid progress?"

"Not curious." Li Hongzhao curled his lips.

His progress was fast, and my own progress was not slow either. It just seemed slow compared to his. Compared with anyone else, my progress was incredibly fast.

But what secrets do you have?
It’s just that the martial arts technique is powerful.

Chu Zhiyuan's secret can be seen through at a glance. He has good aptitude, high comprehension, and excellent methods of cultivation. After all, he has the support of the Dajing royal family and has some top inheritances.

With his high level of comprehension and high aptitude, he may have mastered some top-notch inheritances, which will promote each other and enable him to advance by leaps and bounds.

Li Hongzhao said: "I think Wen Tianya saw the future, saw that you will become the emperor in the future."

Chu Zhiyuan laughed and shook his head, saying, "It is impossible for the inheritance of the throne to be seen. The Emperor's Sword will block the secrets."

Li Hongzhao frowned slightly and snorted, "You know this too?"

"You'll understand it if you think about it for a while." Chu Zhiyuan looked at her with a smile.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "You are the only one who is smart, and everyone else is stupid!... This Princess Eighteen has a brother, and his aptitude is also top-notch, but he has been practicing hard at Wentian Cliff, and has not attracted anyone's attention."

"Seventeenth Prince?" Chu Zhiyuan nodded: "His aptitude is not bad either?"

"He is also an outstanding figure." Li Hongzhao said: "He may challenge the throne in the future."

Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking about something.

Li Hongzhao glanced at him and said, "If you mistreat Princess Eighteen, he will never give up. Who knows, Dajing and Dazhen might turn against each other and start fighting."

She looked gloating.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "How do you know that I will definitely treat Princess Eighteen unfairly?"

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Because you are a heartless person, you don't understand romance, you are rude and impolite, which woman can stand it? Only Xiao sister, any other woman can't stand it, not to mention this beautiful lady, she will never indulge you, you two..."

She giggled, her red lips and white teeth sparkling with beauty.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, "Don't bother with that. By the way, has any new secret place appeared in your Dameng?"

Her super senses were pushed to the limit, and the cave light enveloped her tightly, not missing any of her changes.

"A new secret place?" Li Hongzhao glanced at him, his eyes flickering, and he chuckled, "Did you, Dajing, discover a new secret place?"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He immediately noticed two points.

Dameng did not discover the new secret place, but Dazhen found out that the new secret place had already been known by Dameng.

The secret spies of Da Meng are truly omnipresent.

Li Hongzhao snorted, "What's the use of having a new secret place? What we lack is not cultivation resources, but a grandmaster!"

“If you, Dameng, are wise, you should stop fighting now.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “Think about it, the number of Grandmasters in Dajing will increase explosively, and Dazhen has a new secret place. If we continue to fight, we will only lose!”

Li Hongzhao sneered.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Please persuade your father more. The situation is different now. We can't count on Dalie and Dayong anymore. Is there still a chance of winning?"

Li Hongzhao glanced at him with his eyes rolling, "Don't worry about it."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It seems that you tried to persuade him, but he was scolded by your father, right?"

Li Hongzhao snorted, "Tell me, if the Grand Master of Wentianya were to assassinate you, would he succeed? Using the Eighteenth Princess to replace a prince like you, both sides would be able to get away with it, right?"
