Chapter 791 Loss
Fu Zheng’s expression changed slightly, and she looked at Chu Zhiyuan: “Your Highness?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

The eldest prince and his entourage must be well guarded.

Even if you get assassinated, it won’t be a big deal.

The most dangerous situation in an assassination attempt is being caught off guard and not having enough guards.

The eldest prince’s actions would never go as far as this.

So nothing to worry about.

“Your Highness?”

“It shouldn’t be a big deal, otherwise the news would have spread a long time ago.”

“Could it be Yuan Zhen who did it again?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Such an assassination is asking for trouble, it is suicidal, I guess it’s not Yuan Zhen, only the demon tribe would do such a thing.”

Fu Zheng said: “This is because they cannot bear to see His Highness’ wedding.”

She felt as if the whole world was against this wedding.

Too many people are trying to stop this wedding and destroy this marriage.

Whether it was within the Phoenix Dynasty, the demon clan, or the Yuanzhen Dynasty, they all tried to stop the destruction, either openly or secretly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “Have you ever thought of a possibility that the news about the cave was not suppressed by the two princes?”

“Then who else?” Fu Zheng asked.

Lu Haoyuan also looked up.

Chu Zhiyuan gently pointed to the sky.

Fu Zheng was surprised.

Lu Haoyuan nodded thoughtfully.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “If we talk about the most sensitive ears and eyes, no one is better than this one.”

Fu Zheng frowned slightly: “If it is really this person, what should we do?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Just listen to her.”

Of course, the one who knows the emperor best is the Twelfth Princess.

I was just looking at flowers in the fog and could never get a clear picture of this most powerful emperor of the time.

The twelfth princess is very smart and should know more about the emperor.

As the three of them were talking, more and more people were discussing the assassination of the eldest prince of the Yujing Dynasty.

Some cursed that she deserved it and said that the twelfth princess should not be married to a Yujing man.

Some were so angry that they didn’t kill these guys and canceled the wedding.

Chu Zhiyuan frowned when he heard this.

The Yujing Dynasty was delighted with this marriage and felt that marrying a Phoenix Princess was an honor.

On the contrary, the people of the Phoenix Dynasty were opposed to this marriage.

She felt that she had been taken advantage of and that the Ninth Prince of the Yujing Dynasty was not worthy of the Twelfth Princess. If they were really to get married, the Eldest Prince should be worthy of the Twelfth Princess.

Various discussions arose one after another, from the assassination of the eldest prince to the wedding of the twelfth princess.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head after hearing this.

Fu Zheng snorted, “A bunch of fools!”

Lu Haoyuan remained silent.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “People’s will and opinions…”

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the palace.

The people’s will and opinions can still influence the emperor. I wonder if the emperor regrets it now or whether he will go back on his word.

Chu Zhiyuan stood up and said, “Let’s go to another one.”

“Yes.”

Fu Zheng stood up, took out a silver ingot from her sleeve and threw it on the table.

Lu Haoyuan followed him out.

Chu Zhiyuan brought them to Wenhua Building and asked them to find a place on the second floor, while he went to a private room on the third floor.

An old man with white beard and beard was sitting in the house, drinking slowly.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan coming in, he waved.

Chu Zhiyuan sat down: “Uncle Jiu.”

“Have you heard the news?”

“Brother, are they okay?”

“It’s okay, a bunch of crazy monsters didn’t hurt Chu’er and the others.”

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked, “Qiao’er and Zhen’er are not here, right?”

“I was persuaded to go back.”

“That’s good……”

Chu Hongwei put down his wine glass and frowned, “We all underestimated the madness of these monsters.”

The group had already been prepared for a sneak attack, but they didn’t expect the attack to be so fierce.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: “The loss of the guards was not small?”

“Six inner court guards died.” “…”

Chu Zhiyuan’s face darkened.

Each inner court guard has been carefully selected through layers of selection and has a clean background, good character and outstanding qualifications.

These inner court guards are all candidates for future generals or important officials.

“This group of demon clan masters, there are two venerables, and 18 people who have perfected their transformation, and they also used the blood burning secret technique, they are like crazy.”

“How many are left?”

“two.”

“…”

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression became uglier.

Twenty of them came, but only two were left, and six of their own inner court guards were killed.

It was a disastrous defeat.

Chu Hongwei filled two glasses of wine, the two men clinked their glasses and drank in silence.

Chu Zhiyuan felt that it was difficult to relieve his depression, and slowly asked: “Where are the big brother and the others?”

“We will arrive at the Imperial City at noon today.”

“Noon…noon…”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

“Zhao’er, what are you going to do?”

Chu Hongwei saw that he had a gloomy expression, scorching eyes, and murderous intent, and guessed that he was going to take action.

Chu Zhiyuan said: “How can you retreat peacefully after offending my Yujing envoys?”

“They still have two venerables left, and the sixteenth transformation is complete!”

“I will do my best.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

“The wedding is about to begin, so don’t let anything go wrong. There are too many people waiting to see you make a fool of yourself.”

“clear.”

“I wish you really understood.” Chu Hongwei didn’t think he understood at all.

Even if he understood, it wouldn’t stop him from taking risky actions.

Chu Zhiyuan stood up and said, “Uncle Jiu, I’ll go then, and…”

He told the story of Lu Haoyuan.

Lu Haoyuan’s identity must be kept secret, but he cannot hide it from others and cannot hide it from Chu Hongwei.

Because Chu Hongwei still needs to do a lot of things to deal with Lu Haoyuan’s aftermath.

He wanted to bring his family to the imperial city of Yujing and allow them to communicate secretly.

At the same time, he would secretly keep an eye on Lu Haoyuan to see if he had any abnormal behavior.

It can also be regarded as a kind of protection for Lu Haoyuan, preventing Yuan Zhen’s Tingfeng Pavilion from finding him.

Chu Hongwei frowned: “Why would you accept him? It will cause endless trouble.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “It is still very useful.”

“If he can betray you once, he can betray you again. Besides, he is from Yuanzhen after all. How can he follow you wholeheartedly?”

“He was loyal enough, but he ran into me and his state of mind was broken by me. It won’t be so easy next time.”

He has a deeper understanding of human nature and knows that human will and spirit are fragile.

Sometimes, we can face death with courage, but sometimes we are vulnerable.

No matter how strong-willed a person is, he will collapse if he encounters someone powerful enough.

But Lu Haoyuan was unlucky and ran into himself, so he was eventually defeated.

But how many people like you are there in the world?
Lu Haoyuan is from Yuanzhen and a disciple of Yunyang Peak, but his loyalty to Yuanzhen has almost been exhausted.

Rather than worrying about his betrayal, he valued Lu Haoyuan’s understanding of Yuan Zhen more.

Especially the thinking habits of the Yuanzhen people, which are difficult to understand in a short period of time.

If you want to deal with Yuan Zhen, you must first understand Yuan Zhen, and Lu Haoyuan is an important way.

It doesn’t matter if I really betray you in the future.

Chu Hongwei said helplessly: “Okay, as long as you know what’s going on.”

……

Chu Zhiyuan stood on the top of a mountain, looking down at the convoy opposite.

Twenty-four carriages moved slowly along the official road, with guards patrolling in front, behind, and on both sides.

He didn’t need clairvoyance to see their low morale with his naked eyes even though they were more than 300 meters away.

Although the guards tried to cheer up, they could not hide their frustration, anger and hatred.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes wandered among the guards.

These guards were all wearing silver armor and helmets, making their faces almost unrecognizable.

It is also unclear which one is the leader.

It fell on one of the knights and he recognized it as the eldest prince Chu Liechu.

He touched the jade ring.

A moment later, Chu Liechu and four other venerables left the main group and appeared in front of Chu Zhiyuan using his lightness skills.
