I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 204 Untitled
"Let's not talk about the war that followed, what happened next?"

Lei Mengsha looked curious: "What happened later? Why did the master show mercy?"

"Why would Li Changsheng show mercy?"

Chu Zhao was also a little curious and looked at Wu Zuoshi next to him. After all, Wu Zuoshi was one of the parties involved.

Wu Zuoshi shook his head and said, "I don't know why Mr. Li showed mercy, but after that battle, the Lord made a promise with Mr. Li that he would never enter Tianqi again."

Chu Zhao hummed and continued the previous topic.

"After that, my father-in-law and the four guardians escaped. They had originally planned to surrender to Beili... According to him, he surrendered sincerely at that time, but you should know the situation in Beique. It is a country where everyone practices martial arts. How could Xiao Chongjing not be worried? So Xiao Chongjing, who had just ascended the throne, issued an order to destroy the country. Ye Yu had no choice but to lead his troops to invade Beique."

Chu Zhao took a breath and continued, "You, the Beili court, misjudged Ye Yu, thinking that he hated Beique to the core. In fact, Ye Yu had no hatred towards his homeland. He deliberately slowed down his journey, so that although Beique was eventually destroyed, many of Beique's soldiers and civilians escaped, and Beique Yue's royal family was able to survive in the world because of this."

If the intelligence was correct, Ye Yu was convicted of treason that year, and one of the charges seemed to be that he deliberately slowed down the army's journey, so Ye Yu's death was not too unjust.

"Can such a person be called loyal to the country?"

Chu Zhao sneered, looked at Ye Dingzhi and said, "Although my wife was able to survive because of your father, I still think that he is not a loyal person to the country."

"Is it wrong for my father to miss his homeland?" Ye Dingzhi seemed to be asking Chu Zhao, but also seemed to be asking himself.

"It's not wrong, but what he did was wrong."

"If you were General Ye, what would you do?" Xiao Ruofeng asked curiously.

Chu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "When the three kingdoms besieged Beili, if I were Ye Yu, I would not lead troops to resist Beique, but would choose to lead troops to deal with Nanjue or Xichu. Don't say that the emperor's order cannot be disobeyed. Given his relationship with your father at the time, the power he held, and the situation at the time, your grandfather and the court would never have forced him."

"Maybe you are right, but if it wasn't General Ye Yu, if it was my grandfather who resisted Beique, there wouldn't be so many people alive in Beique, right?" Baili Dongjun retorted.

"So, even though he was originally from Beique and led his troops to destroy his homeland, there are still people among the Beique survivors who are grateful to him. But don't forget that he was the general of Beili at that time. Can he be considered loyal to Beili?"

"This……"

Baili Dongjun was speechless again.

"Compared to your grandfather Baili Luochen's cruelty to my Xichu, Ye Yu can't be considered loyal to Beili, so Xiao Chongjing targeted the Ye family instead of your Baili family."

Chu Zhao laughed and said to Ye Dingzhi: "Of course, in my opinion, your father is not loyal to the country, whether it is Beili or Beique, but to say that he is plotting treason is a complete frame-up. The biggest mistake your father made in his life was that he trusted Xiao Chongjing too much."

"Wait a moment."

Lei Mengsha asked in confusion, "Wasn't it Prince Qing who framed General Ye Yu? Why do I hear from you that it was His Majesty?"

"Aren't you investigating Ye Yu's treason case? Why are you asking me?"

Lei Mengsha turned to look at Xiao Ruofeng, but saw that Xiao Ruofeng had his head down and remained silent.

At this moment, Lei Mengsha didn't understand at all, and exclaimed: "It really is Your Majesty!"

"Xiao Ruofeng."

Chu Zhao shouted.

Xiao Ruofeng raised his head: "What advice does the Emperor Chu have?"

"It's not about teaching, I just want to talk to you." Chu Zhao shook his head and smiled. "Many people advised me not to restore the country, even my wife advised me, because once I raise the banner of restoring the country, the world will inevitably fall into war, and countless people will be destroyed and displaced. If I were not the prince of Western Chu, but the prince of Northern Que, I said I would not restore the country, do you believe it?"

Xiao Ruofeng was silent, looked at Chu Zhao, thought about it carefully, and finally said honestly: "I don't know."

I don’t know whether to believe it or not.

Because he really couldn't see through the young emperor in front of him at all.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but I can tell you clearly that I won't."

"why?"

“I have been hunted by you Beili over the years, and I have been to many places. During this time, I have seen the disputes among the powerful and wealthy, and I have also seen the freedom and happiness of poor families. In the final analysis, it is only the desires of the superiors that drive them, while ordinary people just need a stable home.

The Beique survivors have worked hard for fifteen years to get to where they are now. Although life is difficult, at least they are alive and living a relatively stable life. But if a war is launched against Beili, the homes that the Beique survivors have rebuilt with great difficulty will be destroyed in an instant. "

Chu Zhao's voice was a little low, and he finally sighed: "Unfortunately, I am not the prince of Beique, but the prince of Xichu."

If it was in Qiandong City, Xiao Ruofeng would not understand what Chu Zhao meant.

But now, he understands!

Because after returning from Qiandong City, he specifically asked the school's intelligence organizations Dieying and Baixiaotang to investigate the situation of the remnants of Western Chu in Beili.

Lei Mengsha glanced at Xiao Ruofeng and sighed.

Ye Dingzhi glanced at Chu Zhao and remained silent.

Only Master Baili, who was born into a life of luxury, asked in confusion, "They are all princes of fallen nations, what's the difference between Xichu and Beique?"

"Because although the lives of the survivors of Beique are hard, they at least have a home, but the survivors of Xichu... we Beili did not give them a home." Xiao Ruofeng sighed.

"It seems that you have done some special research after returning to Tianqi City." Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Your father is not a good emperor. He did not give us Chu people any chance to survive. It was he who forced us to resist. Your brother will not be a good emperor either..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ruofeng interrupted and said, "My brother is still good."

Xiao Ruojin, leaving Xiao Ruofeng aside, is a standout among the Beili princes.

But this is just a dwarf trying to pick a general.

Chu Zhao snorted and suddenly said, "If Lei Mengsha wants to go to the battlefield in the future, let him resist us Xi Chu."

"Well, thank you!"

Lei Mengsha: "..."

We are clearly talking about him, so why does he seem like an outsider?

Also, what on earth were these two guys talking about? Why couldn't he understand anything at all?
"Hey, do you two understand what they are saying?" Lei Mengsha asked Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi.

Baili Dongjun shook his head, looking confused.

Ye Dingzhi said thoughtfully: "Brother Lei, do you have a good relationship with my senior brother?"

"That is required."

Ye Dingzhi said "oh" in understanding, and then nothing else happened. He had no intention of answering the two people's questions.

"Okay, get on board, it's time for you to leave."

Ye Dingzhi hummed, clasped his fists towards his good brother Baili Dongjun and said, "I don't know when we will meet again. I hope that when we meet again, you and I will both be famous throughout the world."

Baili Dongjun nodded: "I hope we'll meet again in the martial arts world, you and I will still be young."

After a reluctant farewell.

The Western Chu Emperor Chu Zhao, the Yuelu Academy Dean Chen Ru, the Southern Sword Immortal Yu Shengmo, the Confucian Immortal Gu Chen who goes by the alias Wuming, the Western Chu Sili Supervisor Zhao An, the Tianwai Tian Wuzuo Envoy and a group of six people, together with Xiao Ruofeng, Baili Dongjun and Lei Mengsha, returned to Tianqi.

Along the way, the two sides talked and laughed, and those who didn't know would think they were close friends.

Actually...

On the long street of Tianqi City, Xiao Ruofeng clasped his fists and said, "From today on, you and I will be enemies."

He is the prince of Beili, and Chu Zhao is the emperor of Western Chu who is determined to restore his country. Even if they become friends in the future, they are still enemies who are born to be enemies. Chu Zhao hummed and turned around and said, "Mr. Chen, are you going with me, or are you going to the academy with Xiao Ruofeng to see Li Changsheng?"

"I'm going to meet Mr. Li."

Chu Zhao nodded: "Then see you at Fanruo Temple in three days."

After the two sides parted ways and the group of four returned to the school, Xiao Ruofeng went straight to Prince Jingyu's Palace.

The news that Chu Zhao led his men into Prince Jingyu's mansion early in the morning, and then left Tianqi City with Ye Dingzhi and Prince Jingyu's concubine Yi Wenjun in a dignified manner had spread to all the major mansions.

As expected, all the major mansions maintained absolute silence.

The Dali Temple was still carrying out the search as usual, and the Jingzhao Yinfu also sent people to arrest people, but they didn't even leave the city gates. Only Prince Jingyu, who was usually calm, seemed to be furious in the palace.

Of course, everyone can understand.

After all, no man can tolerate having green grassland on his head.

Originally, Xiao Ruofeng came to Prince Jingyu's Mansion to comfort his brother, who was born to the same mother as him. However, he found that his brother was sitting in the pavilion drinking tea leisurely, and showed no signs of being angry at all.

"Ye Dingzhi is gone?"

Xiao Ruofeng nodded: "Well, let's go."

"General Ye is a good man." This was a treasonous statement. If it were to get out, he would be punished even if he was a prince, but Xiao Ruojin said it casually.

"Sister-in-law..."

Xiao Ruojin interrupted, "She is my concubine, no one can change that, she will come back sooner or later."

"I hope you don't mind, brother."

Xiao Ruojin didn't want to continue this topic, and asked in a deep voice: "Chu Zhao is gone?"

Xiao Ruofeng picked up the teacup and blew away the tea, then said slowly, "No, he went back to the city. Judging from the direction he left, it should be the Heavenly Sword Pavilion."

"When Chu Zhao came to the palace today, he said that he would kill father in a few days." Xiao Ruojin looked worried.

Xiao Ruofeng took a sip of tea and said affirmatively: "He can't be killed."

"what do you mean……"

Xiao Ruofeng knew what he meant and shook his head, saying, "No, sir, I won't take action again for the time being, but in addition to sir, there is also Master Xie in Tianqi City."

"Have you seen that person?"

Xiao Ruofeng put down the teacup, did not answer, stood up and said: "Since brother has nothing to do, I will take my leave first."

"In such a hurry to leave?"

"I'm moving back to the palace today, so I have to go take a look."

There is a big city to the west of Beili. That city once belonged to Western Chu and was the first military fortress of Western Chu at that time. It was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The name of the city was Langya.

Three years ago, a rebellion occurred in Langya City. Xiao Ruofeng led the army to quell the rebellion. After returning home, His Majesty praised his merits and named him the King of Langya. Xiao Ruofeng became the first prince of his generation to be awarded the title of king. However, three years have passed and he has not officially moved into his own palace, saying that he does not live up to the name. His Majesty has praised him a lot but has never urged him to do so, so that now people do not officially call him the King of Langya, but still call him the Ninth Prince.

The ninth prince, Xiao Ruofeng.

However, from today onwards, there is no Ninth Prince Xiao Ruofeng in Beili, only King of Langya Xiao Ruofeng!

Tianjian Pavilion, which is the number one building in the world.

As soon as Chu Zhao and his group of five arrived, the sword slave guarding the Tianjian Pavilion felt the sword in his hand vibrate uncontrollably.

Not only them, but even the Xuanfeng Sword in Yu Shengmo's hand also made a sword-ringing sound.

At this moment, a sword beam with captivating sword energy came straight towards Chu Zhao from the third floor of Tianjian Pavilion.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Zhao An shouted loudly and was about to block the incoming sword light.

But the sword light seemed to have a spirit and bypassed Zhao An, stopping in mid-air in front of Chu Zhao, and then the light dissipated, revealing its original true appearance.

"This is?"

The Heaven-Slaying Sword, the best sword in the world, is also known as the Sword of Heaven.

It is said that it was forged by the ancient sword-making god using copper from Shou Mountain and has been passed down for thousands of years. Only the chosen ones have the right to wield the sword, and only those with destiny can obtain it. Its power is extremely terrifying and can cut through heaven and earth.

Chu Zhao grasped the hilt of the sword and swung it gently, and everyone seemed to hear the sound of the sword.

"The Heavenly Sword has a spirit. Could this... be the legendary sword that proactively recognized its master?!"

The sword slaves gasped.

At the same time, Xie Zhize's voice was heard from the Tianjian Pavilion.

"Tian Zhan has recognized his master. It seems that Emperor Chu is indeed the one destined by heaven."

"Whether it is destiny or not cannot be determined by a sword, and I don't believe in fate. I only believe in myself." Chu Zhao said, and threw the Tianzhan Sword in his hand back without any reluctance.

Everyone present was stunned, with different expressions, some were pity, some were surprised, some were astonished, and some looked at him as if he was a fool...

For a moment, one could hear a pin drop outside the Tianjian Pavilion.

After a long while, Gu Chen and Yu Shengmo came back to their senses first. Yu Shengmo asked in a complicated tone, "That's the Heaven Slashing Sword. You just threw it away like that?"

Chu Zhao said calmly: "I have my own sword, and my sword is the best in the world."

"Hahaha……"

Xie Zhize in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion laughed and praised: "Your Majesty Chu is very courageous. Please come upstairs and have a chat."

No one knew what Chu Zhao talked about with Beili’s first tutor. All they knew was that Chu Zhao’s face didn’t look very good after he came out.

Then, an imperial decree was issued from the Tianqi Palace - Xiaoyao Tianjing was not allowed to get involved in the war between the two countries.

Apocalypse City, inside the Imperial Palace.

Xiao Chongjing's golden dragon robe fluttered in the wind. He stood on the highest moon-reflecting platform in the palace, looking at the school in the moonlight in the distance, and sighed: "Grandmaster, do you think I was too impulsive in what I did before?"

Qi Tianchen, the imperial teacher with white hair and beard but handsome face, stood beside him. He flicked the whisk in his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's actions are not impulsive. They are all for Beili. However, your Majesty only sees Beili, and you only see him for a few decades."

Xiao Chongjing sighed: "That Li Changsheng...is looking at the whole world, and he's looking at a few hundred years."

"As Your Majesty said, I have checked all the ancient books in the library. Mr. Li should be the protector of Beili. Whether it is cultivating a peerless talent like the King of Langya, or accepting the naturally talented Baili Dongjun as a disciple, or openly defending the son of the Emperor of Western Chu, they are all his plans to protect the country." Qi Tianchen replied.

"Are there really people in the world who can live for hundreds of years?" Xiao Chongjing murmured.

"Among us Taoist immortals, there are indeed earthly immortals, but it is not easy to live for more than a hundred years. Those who can live for hundreds of years must have paid a price that ordinary people cannot accept, and they must also accept responsibilities that ordinary people cannot bear."

"I understand."

Xiao Chongjing coughed lightly and asked, "Have the remnants of Western Chu left?"
