Huangxiu

Chapter 476: Discussion
Chu Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Uncle Shi, she and I are enemies. If we meet, she will probably teach me a lesson first."

He could imagine what Li Hongzhao would do when he saw him again, and he would definitely try to humiliate him.

Why ask for trouble unless it's absolutely necessary?
Chu Mingrui smiled and said, "You are a Grandmaster now, she can't use the Emperor's Sword, right?"

"She may be able to do it." Chu Zhiyuan said.

After being suppressed for so long, I finally have the chance to hold my head high. How could I not show off and display my talents?
There is a high possibility that she will use the Emperor's Sword to show off her power.

She wanted to let out a sigh of relief, and her thoughts were clear, which might be related to the improvement of her cultivation.

Chu Mingrui smiled and said, "I know she won't kill you anyway... The Mongolian envoy will be here soon."

"Are you here to negotiate peace?"

"Da Meng has also discovered a secret place." Chu Mingrui said, "Let's explore this secret place together."

"Dazhen, Daming, and us, all three have discovered secret places," Chu Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking.

Chu Mingrui said: "Every thousand years, there will be a new secret place. This is not surprising."

"If this continues, there will be more and more secret places. Will there be secret places everywhere?"

Chu Mingrui smiled and said, "If time is long enough, it may not be impossible. We are lucky. This time it happened, and it will have nothing to do with us in the future."

No matter how long their lifespan is, they cannot live for a thousand years. Whether the secret place will appear by then and how many secret places will appear is none of their business.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.

But he secretly thought that achieving immortality was not as easy as he had imagined.

Let alone immortality, it’s hard to even live for a thousand years.

If you want to increase your lifespan, you must first reach the Grand Master level, but each level of the Grand Master level is so difficult.

Until now, I really have no confidence.

But no matter how little confidence you have, you must struggle hard. You must not waste this second life.

The two chatted casually, while Chu Mingxuan, Chu Zhiting, Chu Zhichuan and others listened from behind.

"It's all thanks to you for letting Saint Meng come here this time," Chu Mingrui said, "I almost lost my life."

"My great grandfather will also find the Worry-Free Sect." Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

I can think of the Wuyou Sect, and the emperor can also think of it, but he just hasn't taken action yet.

If we delay for a few more days, the emperor will probably ask the four great demon sects to work together to find a solution.

Eventually, we will ask the masters of Wuyou Sect to go there.

……

The five people soon arrived at the British palace.

After Chu Zhiyuan drank a cup of tea, he tactfully said goodbye and left.

Chu Mingrui just returned to Beijing and has a lot to do.

"Old Four, you stay." Chu Mingrui said, "I have something to tell you. Ting'er, go practice with your eighteenth uncle and Chuan'er."

Chu Mingxuan and Chu Zhichuan were dragged by Chu Zhiting to the backyard to practice martial arts.

Chu Zhiyuan followed Chu Mingrui to the study.

The two sat down separately.

"It's about the throne." Chu Mingrui sighed and said, "Have you thought about this?"

"Uncle Shi, I really want to wield the Emperor's Sword."

Chu Zhiyuan said frankly.

He didn't expect Chu Mingrui to reveal the matter directly.

This matter is too sensitive, so people are often careful not to touch it.

Although Chu Mingrui was a master in military strategy and a brilliant man, Chu Zhiyuan admired him very much.

But Chu Zhiyuan would not give up the throne just because of this, he would still fight for it.

The fundamental reason is the Emperor's Sword and the chance of immortality.

"Alas!" Chu Mingrui sighed, "Who doesn't want to be an emperor?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I don't think you want to, Uncle Shi."

"Haha..." Chu Mingrui smiled and said, "You still understand me." Chu Mingrui said with relief, "I am indeed not so keen on the throne. It's too tiring."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Shi doesn't want to control the strongest power in the world and dominate his own destiny?"

"You were stimulated." Chu Mingrui said with a smile: "Stimulated by the marriage?"

"Yes." Chu Zhiyuan said, "There are also matters concerning the palace."

"...That's right." Chu Mingrui nodded: "If I were you, I would also be angry that I can't control my own destiny and have no control over it."

He could fully understand Chu Zhiyuan's anger and ambition, and understood why Chu Zhiyuan wanted to be emperor.

What I really want is freedom.

I don't want to lose my freedom again, my personal freedom, and the freedom to marry any woman.

"I'm not as passionate as you. I just want to continue leading the team without involving too much energy."

"Uncle Shi, in fact, the emperor can decide the outcome of the war more than the army."

"That's not the case." Chu Mingrui shook his head: "Even if we have the upper hand, more troops, and better equipment, we may not win in a real fight. It depends on the general."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Shi wants to win battles all the time."

“Yes.” Chu Mingrui said: “What’s more, when I was young, I was eager for quick success and instant benefits, so I practiced the visualization method early on, which hurt my spirit and made it impossible for me to break through to the Grandmaster level. So I simply gave up and no longer had any extravagant hopes.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Uncle Shi, even if your spirit is injured, it doesn't mean you can't become a grandmaster."

"No matter how powerful the elixir is, it's useless." Chu Mingrui shook his head: "Even if I can restore my spirit and become a great master, I still don't want to sit on the throne."

He smiled and said, "You know, once you become a Grand Master, you can no longer stay in the army."

"Uncle Shi, haven't you stayed here long enough?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Life in the army is too hard."

Chu Mingrui shook his head: "I am used to the life in the army, but I am not used to the hustle and bustle here in Yujing. I prefer to deploy troops and win one victory after another."

Chu Zhiyuan suddenly understood and laughed: "Uncle Shi, are you doing this on purpose? ... When you were young, you made this decision, right?"

He immediately understood why Chu Mingrui practiced the visualization method even though he knew that he should not practice it in advance.

I was curious at the time, why he made such a mistake, it was so wrong.

It is very likely that when he was practicing the visualization method, he saw his true heart clearly and made a choice between the throne and being a general.

He gave up the throne and chose a general.

"Not bad." Chu Mingrui said.

Chu Zhiyuan sighed, "It's hard for my ninth brother and Aunt Wang. They think that you, Tenth Uncle, have worked too hard and don't want you to stay in the army any longer. They want you to return to Yujing and enjoy your life."

"They always thought that my words that I was not suffering and was enjoying it were words to comfort them, but they didn't know that I was telling the truth and they just didn't believe it."

Chu Mingrui looked helpless.

He had emphasized it several times, but they turned a deaf ear and insisted on treating it as a lie.

He was really helpless.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Chu Mingrui said: "Now it seems that your cultivation has improved too fast. It's a pity that you didn't have time to gain experience in the army."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He really had no intention of advancing; it was too dangerous.

"Father is now in his prime, it is impossible for him to abdicate within ten years. After ten years, who knows whether Ting'er and Chuan'er can become Grandmasters."

Chu Zhichuan and Chu Zhiting are also making rapid progress, and they may be able to become grandmasters in ten years.

The Emperor's Sword will no longer have only one choice at that time. Chu Zhiyuan's lack of merit will be fatal, and he will most likely not be chosen by the Emperor's Sword.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Let's wait and see, do our best and follow God's will."

It is almost impossible for Chu Mingxuan, Chu Zhiting, Chu Zhichuan and others to break through to the Grand Master level in ten years.

Of course, they may also suddenly encounter a fortuitous encounter, make rapid progress, and break through to the Grand Master level in a short period of time.

Chu Zhiyuan had nothing to say, this was the unpredictable fate.

Chu Mingrui said: "There is a way to make up for the loss of merit."
