Chapter 412 Keep the knife

"This Mr. Gao is not stupid, and he is not easily provoked. Don't worry." Li Hongzhao squinted at him and said, "Look at how scared you are!"

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

"Okay, okay!" Li Hongzhao interrupted him hastily: "That's okay, there's no need to avoid him."

She knew what Chu Zhiyuan said next would make her angry.

It is better to simply not listen.

After a while, footsteps sounded, and a maid said outside: "Your Highness, Mr. Gao is here."

"Please." Li Hongzhao said.

Chu Zhiyuan sat at the table.

The door opened, and Gao Jiuqu stood outside the door, clasping his fists and saluting: "Your Majesty, Ninth Prince, I am now polite to you, Gao Jiuqu."

Li Hongzhao smiled faintly: "I invite Mr. Gao here rashly. I have admired Mr. Gao for a long time. If I have the opportunity to meet him, I will naturally appreciate his style."

She is cold and reserved, as proud as if she were looking down at Gao Jiuqu from a high place.

However, Gao Jiuqu regarded it as normal and knew that this was the style of Jinzhiyuye.

Seeing that Chu Zhiyuan was there, he cupped his fists and smiled: "Your Majesty."

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

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

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It happened by chance."

Li Hongzhao smiled lightly and said, "Today is indeed a coincidence. First I bump into an acquaintance, and then I bump into you, Mr. Gao. Please sit down."

Gao Jiuqu was confused.

His senses were also keen, and he vaguely felt that the relationship between the two was not that simple.

It seems like an undercurrent is surging, and it seems to contain anger and conflict.

He knew very much about the martial arts contest between Chu Zhiyuan and Li Hongzhao.

But we don’t know the specific relationship between the two. We only know roughly that they are enemies rather than friends.

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

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Brother Gao, I heard that the seventeenth prince came down from the mountain and wanted to come to our grand scene?"

"...The Crown Prince knows?" Gao Jiuqu was startled and said hurriedly: "His Royal Highness Seventeenth is just here to visit His Highness Eighteenth."

Li Hongzhao glanced sideways at Chu Zhiyuan.

This guy is so hateful. As soon as he got the news from him, he went to Gao Jiuqu to show off.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Looking at what Brother Gao means, His Highness Seventeenth is here for me, right?"

"Absolutely not." Gao Jiuqu hurriedly waved his hands and said, "His Royal Highness Seventeenth is intelligent and enlightened. He sees things clearly and will never act recklessly."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "That's a pity...but I am leaving Yujing soon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see His Highness Seventeenth."

"The prince is going to Jihai Town?"

"Brother Gao also knows?"

"After hearing the news, the Crown Prince and the Phoenix Battalion are dispatched. Naturally, we can capture him easily. It's a piece of cake."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I hope it goes smoothly, Daliu Camp has gone too far."

Li Hongzhao snorted: "The riots in Daliu camp have gone too far, and the commander-in-chief Ding Shaoqiang is not good at it. In my opinion, both sides should be punished."

Chu Zhiyuan said, "What do you think, Brother Gao?"

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

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "This is what a mature person says. It's not like some people who talk nonsense as soon as they hear the news."

Li Hongzhao hummed: "When it comes to military matters, I don't care about the specific details. I only care about big actions. Any mistakes will be punished!"

Matters in the military are different from those involving ordinary people. They are about rules and military discipline.

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

Everyone has their own difficulties and reasons, should we all be considerate?

Wouldn’t that be a mess?

Gaojiu Channel: "If the government forces the people to rebel, they still have to be lenient."

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

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

Li Hongzhao said: "But what if we are not ordinary people, but soldiers?"

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

Li Hongzhao smiled lightly: "Master Gao, you can't run an army like this."

Managing an army is different from governing a people.

Gao Jiuqu was helpless: "It seems that I am indeed not a military leader."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "It is said that kindness does not lead to soldiers. If Brother Gao you were to lead soldiers, you would not be able to bear it first, and you would not be able to pass the test in your heart, and your mood would collapse."

"Yes." Gao Jiuqu nodded.

He knew that he was not qualified to run the army because of his family affairs, so he could not harden his heart.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If His Highness Seventeenth comes here and really wants to find me, then give this to His Highness Seventeenth."

Suddenly there was a light on his waist, and the Mingyue Sword came out of its sheath and struck the table lightly.

The corner of the table fell silently, and was caught by the Mingyue Knife and gently placed in front of Gao Jiuqu.

Gao Jiuqu was confused.

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

But he couldn't react, as if he suddenly became dull.

If this knife was aimed at him, he probably wouldn't be able to avoid it.

This knife is really unusual!

The more he thought about it, the more unusual it became.

Chu Zhiyuan returned the sword to its sheath and said with a smile: "Let us show His Highness the Seventeenth Highness this corner of the table."

"What's there to see here?" Li Hongzhao picked up the corner of the table with his jade hands in confusion.

The corners of a triangular table have three sharp corners and three smooth sides.

Then her face changed slightly, her white clothes suddenly bulged, and her face turned pale.

The phoenix eyes became blurred and absent-minded.

The corner of the table fell off her hand.

The Mingyue Knife appeared silently, gently laid it sideways, caught it just right, and put it back to its original position.

Gao Jiuqu looked at Li Hongzhao in surprise.

Knowing that she had just mobilized her whole body's strength, she obviously still couldn't stop it.

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

How was this injured?

Is it because of this table corner?

When he thought of this, he looked at the corner of the table, but he didn't feel anything strange.

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

Suddenly a long knife appeared in front of his eyes, bright and clear like a bright moon in the sky.

The long knife cut off his head.

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

The light of the sword fell, and everything in front of him suddenly went dark.

His chest was vomiting, his blood was surging, his internal organs were churning, and he was so uncomfortable that he wished he could pass out.

Chu Zhiyuan looked at him quietly.

Li Hongzhao had come to his senses and glared at Chu Zhiyuan: "You did it on purpose, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan looked at Gao Jiuqu with a smile: "I didn't ask you to see 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 white teeth and said bitterly: "Is this the sword technique you have been practicing recently?"

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

"...The best thing is to be unprepared, let's attack by sneak attack!" Li Hongzhao bit his flaming red lips even tighter.

Chu Zhiyuan chuckled lightly and shook his head silently.

Li Hongzhao's mouth is too harsh.

A mouthful of blood suddenly gushes out from the corner of Gao Jiuqu's mouth and seeps out from the corner of his mouth.

Li Hongzhao was surprised.

Gao Jiuqu was the master of Perfection, and his cultivation was far better than his own. Why was he injured more seriously than his own?

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

There are only four updates today, so I’m too embarrassed to see anyone.
