Huangxiu

Chapter 412: Keep the Knife
"This Mr. Gao is not stupid. He is not that easy to provoke. Don't worry." Li Hongzhao glanced at him and said, "Look how scared you are!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "I am as timid as a mouse..."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Li Hongzhao interrupted him: "Okay then, no need to hide from him."

She knew what Chu Zhiyuan would say next, words that would make her angry.

It’s better not to listen.

After a while, footsteps were heard and a maid said outside, "Your Highness, Master Gao is here."

"You're welcome." Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan sat at the table.

The door opened, Gao Jiuqu stood outside the door, clasped his fists and saluted: "Your Highness, I am Gao Jiuqu, honored."

Li Hongzhao smiled faintly: "I rashly invited Master Gao to come here. In fact, I have long heard of your great name. If I have the opportunity to meet you, I will naturally want to appreciate your style."

She was cold and reserved, looking down at Gao Jiuqu with pride as if from a high position.

Gao Jiuqiu, however, treated it as normal, knowing that this was the demeanor of a royal family.

He saw Chu Zhiyuan was there too, and smiled, "Prince."

Chu Zhiyuan stood up, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Gao, what a coincidence."

"The Crown Prince and His Highness are...?" Gao Jiuqu looked at the two of them in surprise.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It was just a coincidence."

Li Hongzhao smiled faintly and said, "It is indeed a coincidence today. First I ran into an acquaintance, and then I ran into you, Mr. Gao. Please take a seat."

Gao Jiuqiu was confused.

He was also very sensitive and vaguely felt that the relationship between the two was not that simple.

It seemed as if there was an undercurrent surging, containing anger and conflict.

He knew a lot about the duel between Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao.

But the specific relationship between the two is not clear, we only know that they are enemies rather than friends.

Looking at the subtle expressions of Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao, I knew that what I guessed was correct. The two were indeed competing and fighting secretly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Brother Gao, I heard that the seventeenth prince is coming down the mountain, so he is coming to our Dajing?"

"...The prince knows?" Gao Jiuqu was startled and said hurriedly: "The Seventeenth Prince is only here to visit the Eighteenth Prince."

Li Hongzhao glanced at Chu Zhiyuan.

This guy is so abominable. He just got the news from me and then ran to Gao Jiuqiu to show off.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "From what Brother Gao said, His Highness the Seventeenth Prince is coming for me, right?"

"Absolutely not." Gao Jiuqu waved his hand and said, "His Highness the Seventeenth Prince is intelligent and wise, and he will never do anything rash."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That's a pity... But I'm about to leave Yujing, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see His Highness the Seventeenth Prince."

"Is the prince going to Jihai Town?"

"Brother Gao also knows?"

"After hearing the news, with the prince taking action and the Phoenix Camp dispatched, it will be easy to capture them. It's a piece of cake."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I hope this goes smoothly. The Dalui Camp is going too far."

Li Hongzhao snorted, "The Daliu camp has gone too far, and the general Ding Shaoqiang is no good. In my opinion, both sides should be punished."

Chu Zhiyuan asked: "What do you think, Brother Gao?"

Gao Jiuqu clasped his fists and said, "I don't know the specific situation yet, so I dare not speak rashly."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "This is what an experienced person says. It's not like some people who rush to talk nonsense when they hear the news."

Li Hongzhao snorted, "For military affairs, we don't care about the specific details. We only care about the big actions. Those who make mistakes will be punished!"

Military matters are different from those involving ordinary people. They are all about rules and military discipline.

No matter what the inside story is, as long as military discipline is violated, the person will be punished.

Everyone has their own difficulties and reasons. Should we be considerate of them?
Wouldn’t that be a mess?

Gao Jiu Channel: "If the government forces the people to rebel, we should still be lenient."

Li Hongzhao snorted, "If officials force the people to rebel, both officials and the people will be punished."

"Isn't this a misunderstanding of right and wrong?" Gao Jiuqu disagreed: "The people who were forced to rebel were too wronged."

Li Hongzhao asked: "But what if it's not civilians, but soldiers?"

"This..." Gao Jiuqu hesitated: "It depends on the situation."

Li Hongzhao smiled faintly: "Mr. Gao, you can't lead the army like this."

Managing the army is different from managing the people. Gao Jiuqu said helplessly: "It seems that I am not the one who can manage the army."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "As the saying goes, a kind person cannot command an army. If you, Brother Gao, command the army, you will not be able to bear it first. You will not be able to get over the hurdle in your heart and your state of mind will collapse."

"Yes." Gao Jiuqiu nodded.

He knew his own situation and was definitely not suited to commanding an army, so he couldn't harden his heart.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If His Majesty the Seventeenth Prince comes here and really wants to look for me, then give this to His Majesty the Seventeenth Prince."

His waist suddenly lit up, and the Moonlight Blade was unsheathed, lightly slashing towards the table.

The corner of the table fell silently, was caught by the Moonlight Blade, and gently placed in front of Gao Jiuqiu.

Gao Jiuqiu was puzzled.

He felt that the knife was light, without a trace of fireworks, and the speed was not fast.

But I couldn't react, as if I had suddenly become dull.

If this knife was aimed at me, I would be unable to avoid it.

This knife is really unusual!
The more he thought about it, the more unusual it seemed.

Chu Zhiyuan returned the sword to its sheath and said with a smile, "Let His Highness the Seventeenth Prince have a look at this corner of the table."

"What's so good about this?" Li Hongzhao picked up the corner of the table with her hands in confusion.

The three corners of the triangular table are sharp and the three sides are smooth.

Her expression then changed slightly, her white clothes suddenly bulged, and her face turned pale.

The phoenix's eyes became blurred and absent-minded.

The corner of the table fell from her jade hand.

The Moonlight Blade appeared silently, gently placed horizontally, caught it just right, and put it back to its original position.

Gao Jiuqu looked at Li Hongzhao in surprise.

I know that she has just mobilized all her strength, but she obviously still couldn't stop it.

Looking at her pale face and flushed cheeks, I knew she was injured.

How did this injury occur?
Is it because of the corner of the table?

When he thought of this, he looked intently at the corner of the table, but felt nothing unusual.

So he picked it up like Li Hongzhao did and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, a long sword appeared before my eyes, as bright and clear as a full moon in the sky.

The long sword chopped down on the head.

I tried my best to dodge but couldn't, I tried to block it but couldn't.

The knife flashed and everything in front of my eyes suddenly went dark.

His chest was nauseous and he wanted to vomit, his blood was boiling, his internal organs were churning, and he felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to faint.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him quietly.

Li Hongzhao had come back to his senses and glared at Chu Zhiyuan fiercely: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Gao Jiuqu with a smile: "I didn't ask you to watch it, did I?"

"... Despicable!" Li Hongzhao snorted, "This is a sneak attack!"

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and did not refute.

Li Hongzhao bit her red lips with her white teeth and said angrily, "Is this the sword technique you have been practicing recently?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Gao Jiuqu and asked with a smile, "How powerful is it?"

"…The key to success is to catch the enemy off guard, so just launch a sneak attack!" Li Hongzhao bit his flaming red lips even tighter.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled and shook his head without saying anything.

Li Hongzhao is too tough.

Gao Jiuqiu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth.

Li Hongzhao was surprised.

Gao Jiuqu is a perfect grandmaster, his cultivation is far superior to his own, so why is he more seriously injured than himself?

Since his cultivation was not as good as Chu Zhiyuan's, it was not surprising that he was injured by Chu Zhiyuan's sword intent. However, Gao Jiuqiu, whose cultivation was even better than Chu Zhiyuan's, was also injured by the sword intent.

　There are only four updates today. I am too embarrassed to see anyone.
