Chapter 682 Possible
If he really understood the Twelfth Princess, how could he not know that this was a bad idea?

He is so well-informed and pays so much attention to the news about the Twelfth Princess, how could he not know about her?
All in all, it proves that he did it on purpose.

He is intentionally harming himself.

This is the basic operation of the Third Prince Chu Lieyang, and his most common style of behavior.

All the princes avoided him and kept their distance from him.

Chu Lieyang shook his head: "I have good intentions, ninth brother, you can take care of yourself."

"What are you talking about? It's so lively?" The second prince Chu Liexuan came in with a smile and asked curiously.

"Second brother." Chu Zhiyuan clasped his fists and said with a smile.

Chu Liexuan said with a smile: "Ninth brother, what are you talking about?"

"The matter of the twelve princesses of the Phoenix Dynasty."

"Oh, the Yuanzhen Dynasty also proposed to the twelfth princess?" Chu Liexuan asked.

"Second brother also knows?"

"I just received the news." Chu Liexuan shook his head and said, "This is intentional, a deliberate provocation!"

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Isn't the Yuanzhen Dynasty fighting with them? Have they negotiated peace?"

"The fighting has ceased, and they are negotiating peace. I heard that the conditions are the same as ours." Chu Liexuan snorted and said, "The Phoenix Dynasty is too arrogant."

“Who made the Phoenix Dynasty the most powerful?” The third prince Chu Lieyang snorted.

"If the Yuanzhen Dynasty and the Phoenix Dynasty also cease fire..." Chu Zhiyuan's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Then we will almost go to war with the Phoenix Dynasty again."

The reason why the Phoenix Dynasty stopped fighting with the Yujing Dynasty was because they were at war with the Yuanzhen Dynasty and did not want to fight on two fronts.

Even so, they still put forward harsh conditions and forced the Yujing Dynasty to agree before they stopped fighting.

Now that the Yuanzhen Dynasty has also ceased war with them, the Phoenix Dynasty can go to war with any dynasty at any time.

The Phoenix Dynasty is the most martial and warlike, and never has a moment of leisure.

Chu Zhiyuan deduced that the two dynasties were going to go to war again.

This is indeed a big trouble for the Yujing Dynasty, but for him, it may be a good thing and a blessing.

Once the war breaks out, the armistice agreement between the two dynasties will naturally be torn up, and there will be no need for me, a hostage, to go to the Phoenix Dynasty.

"No way?" The Second Prince said, "The Phoenix Dynasty must have been seriously injured, otherwise they wouldn't have stopped fighting so easily."

"That's right." The third prince nodded solemnly.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at them, shook his head and said nothing.

They are too optimistic.

I don't know much about the Phoenix Dynasty either.

Through the memories of the two Phoenix Dynasty spirit guards, he gained a deeper understanding of the Phoenix Dynasty and realized that the original owner's previous understanding was superficial.

The Phoenix Dynasty emphasizes fighting to support fighting, and using war to improve one's state of mind and cultivation. This is their basic practice route.

Without war, they would improve slowly or even stagnate.

The threshold to become a Spirit Guard is too high. One may not meet the requirements to join the Spirit Guard. If one cannot become a Spirit Guard but still wants to improve, then one should join the army and fight on the battlefield to improve one's state of mind and cultivation.

The Phoenix Dynasty has been waging wars all the time, not because of the will of the imperial court, but because of the will and interests of everyone in the Phoenix Dynasty.

The three fell silent.

A moment later, footsteps were heard and the eldest prince Chu Liechu strode in.

Chu Zhiyuan and the other two clasped their fists and saluted, calling him "Big Brother."

Chu Liechu clasped his fists, sat next to Chu Zhiyuan, closed his eyes and prepared to start practicing.

Chu Liexuan said, "Brother, the Yuanzhen Dynasty is proposing marriage to the twelfth princess of the Fenghuang Dynasty. This is stepping on my ninth brother's face, and also on the face of our Yujing Dynasty."

Chu Liechu frowned and looked at Chu Zhiyuan.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Brother, do you know?"

"Ah."

"My ninth brother said that the Phoenix Dynasty is going to go to war with us again." The third prince Chu Lieyang laughed and said, "Isn't that possible?"

Chu Liechu looked at Chu Zhiyuan: "Ninth brother, do you think a war is about to start?" Chu Zhiyuan said solemnly: "The Phoenix Dynasty is like a galloping war horse and a speeding carriage. It can't stop and will definitely continue to wage war."

"Will you go to war with us?"

"Could it be with the Yuanzhen Dynasty? Why would we need a ceasefire then?"

"…That makes sense." Chu Liechu said slowly, "The important officials in the court also have this concern, so we are making preparations and have been transporting military rations."

"Impossible?" The third prince Chu Lieyang frowned: "How long has it been?"

"Who let the Yuanzhen Dynasty suddenly have a talented general? The Phoenix Dynasty couldn't gain any advantage, so they stopped the war." Chu Liechu said solemnly: "Compared to the Yuanzhen Dynasty, our Yujing Dynasty is weaker, so naturally they will turn to us."

"Can't we form an alliance with the Yuanzhen Dynasty?" Chu Zhiyuan said.

"It's useless." Chu Lieyang snorted, "I tried it. Both sides fought against the Phoenix Dynasty together, but they were still no match."

Chu Zhiyuan frowned.

The Phoenix Dynasty was able to fight two enemies at one time and not be at a disadvantage, which was really despairing.

"Besides, the alliances are also calculated against each other. They all want the other party to severely consume the power of the Phoenix Dynasty so that they can reduce their own losses."

Chu Zhiyuan felt speechless.

"Fortunately, the Phoenix Dynasty has no intention of destroying our two dynasties. We will fight but not destroy." Chu Liechu shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's just practice."

"If a war really breaks out, I, as a hostage, don't need to go, right?" Chu Zhiyuan said.

Chu Liechu nodded: "If the war breaks out before you get married, there is really no need to go."

"...That's good." Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

There is still one year left before the wedding.

During this year, the two dynasties had definitely gone to war, so he could no longer be the prince consort.

The third prince Chu Lieyang shook his head: "I don't think there will be a war. The Phoenix Dynasty also needs to slow down. If you, my ninth brother, can marry the twelfth princess, with the influence of the twelfth princess, you may be able to influence the decision of the Phoenix Dynasty and decide not to go to war with us, but with the Yuanzhen Dynasty."

Chu Zhiyuan's face changed: "Third brother, you are afraid that I won't die!"

The person who said this is despicable!

This is pushing yourself into the fire.

The second prince Chu Liexuan shook his head: "Third brother, you are still so bad!"

Chu Liechu looked at Chu Zhiyuan thoughtfully, then at the Second Prince.

Chu Zhiyuan snorted: "Brother, you don't think it makes sense, do you?"

Chu Liechu said sternly: "Third brother, what you said is not very authentic, but it does make some sense."

Chu Zhiyuan sneered: "Big brother wants me to die too?"

"If possible, you should get married in advance." Chu Liechu said, "See if you can turn the tide, ninth brother."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I don't have this ability."

"Ninth brother, you are not the same as before." Chu Liechu said with a smile: "If it were before, I would definitely not have such hope, but now there is a glimmer of hope."

Chu Zhiyuan sneered: "For this glimmer of hope, you don't care about my life?"

"Don't worry, Ninth Brother. The more dangerous it is, the less likely you are to die," Chu Liechu said, "Father will give you a life-saving treasure so that you can escape at the critical moment."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If they intend to kill me, this treasure may not be useful."

"Let's see what father says." Chu Liechu said.

Chu Zhiyuan's face looked ugly and became more and more gloomy.

They shuddered.

I know that his old temper is about to flare up again, and he's about to get angry and make a scene without caring about anything.

In this situation, it is better to avoid it.

After thinking about it, they sat down, closed their eyes and began to practice without saying a word.

Chu Zhiyuan stared at the eldest prince, then at the third prince, his eyes scorching.
