Chapter 552: Stab Again
He didn't expect that Dameng had this trick.

He had to completely win over Dalie to his side and was determined to use Dalie to contain Dajing.

Dalie is indeed a small place, but it is also very troublesome.

Once Dalie deliberately makes trouble, he can force Dajing to clean up the eastern border.

The level of corruption in the eastern part of Dajing is very serious. If it is cleaned up, too many troubles will be exposed.

By then, one move will affect the entire Dajing area and there will be chaos.

Li Hongzhao's move was extremely powerful, and Dalie's ambition was big enough.

He actually dared to get close to Dameng and act as Dameng's vanguard.

This is a conclusion that Dajing can do nothing to them and that the strength of the Eastern Territory is not enough.

This means that he has gained a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Eastern Territory and has nothing to worry about.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The obstacle to clearing the eastern border lies in the court.

Various forces in the court were intertwined and mixed with each other, and even the emperor was powerless.

In his opinion, it is more difficult than exterminating the evil sect.

To exterminate the evil sect, as long as one has sufficient cultivation and uses his super senses, he can carry it out single-handedly and kill all the evil sect monsters.

However, clearing up the eastern border cannot be done alone, and officials are needed to carry it out.

Even if the officials have any intention of resisting, they don't even seem to be slacking off, and they all seem to be doing their best.

But things just didn't go smoothly, unexpected things kept happening, and progress was slow and difficult.

"Using the Great Energy to move the Great Scene is indeed a better move. The cost is very small, but the gain is great."

"As expected of His Majesty, you are extremely wise!"

"We were too honest in the beginning and only used force. Intelligence is still very useful."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"By the way, I heard that the envoys from Dajing are here too, and they are led by a prince."

"The Fourth Prince is said to be a powerful figure."

"No matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than the emperor? The youngest grandmaster in the world."

"It is impossible to be stronger than the emperor."

"..."

"Lao Shi, what does that expression mean?"

"I heard that this fourth prince has also achieved Grand Master status at a young age. He may very well be the next emperor."

"Oh, does this prince want to compete with the emperor? He overestimates his own abilities!"

"This fourth prince is quite powerful."

"No matter how powerful you are, you can never surpass the emperor. The emperor is the greatest genius in history."

"It is an honor for him to be below the emperor."

"……Yes."

"Old Shi, your expression is wrong. It seems that the Fourth Prince is more powerful than the Emperor."

"No, no, I don't mean that at all!"

"That's what you mean!"

Everyone at the table suddenly started arguing.

Xiao Ruoling glanced at Chu Zhiyuan with a half-smile.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head: "It seems that my reputation in Dameng is not worth mentioning."

"After all, the information on both sides is isolated." Xiao Ruoling said with a smile.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's strange that she has such a good reputation."

He originally thought that Li Hongzhao should not have a good reputation among the people.

In Dameng, men are respected and women have a low status, which is far inferior to that in Dajing.

In a country like this, a woman becoming emperor is almost destined to be opposed by everyone.

If the Emperor's Sword had not recognized its master, she would have been overthrown as soon as she sat on the throne.

But unexpectedly, after listening to these people's discussions, they actually praised Li Hongzhao very much.

He was already searching for the reason in his mind.

Firstly, the idea that the strong are respected is deeply rooted in the Mongol Empire. Li Hongzhao is the youngest grandmaster in the history of the Mongol Empire.

Second, Li Hongzhao is of Phoenix bloodline.

The bloodline of the Phoenix is ​​invaluable, and this is deeply rooted in people's minds.

In addition, after Li Hongzhao ascended the throne, he used tough means to suppress the royal family and the army, which made people see a tough and powerful emperor. Xiao Ruoling said softly: "The Emperor's Sword recognizes its master, and the people of the world believe in the Emperor's Sword."

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head: "But there are still many people who are not convinced, and she will have a lot of trouble."

The generals in the army must be dissatisfied with a woman like Li Hongzhao becoming the emperor.

Li Hongzhao had no intention of showing weakness and wanted to use tougher measures to force the generals in the army to behave themselves.

There are also members of the royal family who are certainly not convinced and are also within Li Hongzhao's attack range.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Li Hongzhao is now extremely exhausted and has no energy to go to war with Dajing.

Xiao Ruoling and Chu Zhiyuan were eating their food while listening to what was happening next to them.

The food tasted different from the Dajing, with a richer flavor and stronger wine, and they both enjoyed the meal very much.

Chu Zhiyuan ate meat and drank wine while looking out the window: "Tianjing's defense is still far inferior to Yujing's."

As the lights come on, strings of lanterns light up, and the scene becomes more prosperous and lively.

Xiao Ruoling nodded gently: "They don't have a military command, they only have a city guard."

The two of them sat at the table, looking out the window at the people walking on the street and observing the number of city guards.

Compared with the garrison troops and city guards every few steps, the number of city guards in Dameng is several times less.

But the public security in Tianjing City was not bad. People wore swords and knives, but rarely engaged in physical combat.

He judged that the laws of Dameng were strict and had a strong deterrent effect on martial arts masters.

All the martial arts sects in the Great Mongolia were in harmony with the imperial court. They could all join the army and participate in the imperial court's martial arts examinations.

The imperial court’s control over the martial arts sects is, on the contrary, much stronger than that of Dajing.

Among the crowd, there were twenty evil sect masters, surrounding the restaurant.

In just one day, twenty more masters of the evil sect gathered together.

The grand master of Tianjing City is useless, and the masters of the evil sect are like a fish in water.

They are looking for an opportunity to assassinate.

“These guys,” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “are still thieves with evil intentions.”

"How many evil sects are there?" Xiao Ruoling frowned slightly.

The latest secret techniques of these evil sects and monsters are indeed effective and can deceive her intuition.

The Taiyin Great Form Refining made her intuition as sharp as that of a grandmaster.

It couldn't be hidden from her before, but now it has hidden from her intuition.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Twenty, and now two more have been added, and the number is still increasing."

"Did you all follow me here?"

"The group that followed us had already been wiped out. Now there are new ones, ignorant and fearless."

"This is not Yujing. If we really want to kill people..." Xiao Ruoling frowned slightly: "I'm afraid the great masters of Dameng will not agree."

"It's not me who wants to kill them, it's them who want to kill me, so how can I just surrender?" Chu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "You can't blame me for this, right?"

"Will they drive us away?" Xiao Ruoling asked.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

Xiao Ruoling said softly: "She can do this."

Li Hongzhao had always been unrestrained and imaginative in his actions, and now that he had the Emperor's Sword, he was no longer afraid of the Crown Prince.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted, “Unless she doesn’t want to talk to Dajing anymore.”

He then said, "They can't help it anymore, they want to take action!"

Xiao Ruoling suddenly became solemn.

Chu Zhiyuan turned his head and said, "Zou Fang, tell Guo Chi and the others to be careful, there is a demon from the evil sect coming."

Zou Fang responded solemnly, turned around and went to the next table, whispering to Guo Chi and the other three at the next table.

Guo Chi and the other three nodded, they were ready.

The three young men chatted and laughed as they entered the restaurant and walked towards Chu Zhiyuan.

They seemed to want to sit at the table not far from Chu Zhiyuan, and when they passed by Chu Zhiyuan, they suddenly drew their swords and stabbed him.

Guo Chi and his four companions had already made preparations in secret, and suddenly drew their swords and stabbed the three men in the back.

The three men ignored the swords of Guo Chi and the other four and continued to stab at Chu Zhiyuan.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Four swords pierced into the backs of the three men, and the tips of the swords protruded from their chests.

The tips of their swords also reached Chu Zhiyuan, but missed by only two inches and failed to touch Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruoling stepped back a foot, just in time to avoid the three swords.
