Chu Zhiyuan was determined.

My main goal was achieved.

But this is just my goal.

The goal of the Dajing mission this time is to negotiate an armistice between the two Koreas.

But in his opinion, the most important thing is the agreement between the three dynasties to jointly suppress the evil sect.

As for the armistice treaty between the two Koreas, it is not that important.

Because the key to an armistice or not is not the treaty, but the situation between each other.

Once the situation calls for war, the treaty will be torn up.

This time the negotiations are mainly about trade and mutual market.

This is almost difficult to achieve.

Li Hongzhao still could not suppress the army and would not agree to these terms.

The most advantageous place to establish a trade market on the border is the military.

It is said that those who are close to the water get the moon first, those who are close to the mountains get the mountains, and those who are close to the sea get the sea.

With this trade market, the border army can get too many benefits, both tangible and intangible.

Once a trade market is formed, in addition to the military, too many rich and powerful people will benefit from it.

These are the vested interests.

This would create a huge obstacle to starting another war.

Interest is the basis of political attitude. Ministers in the DPRK and China will oppose war for the sake of the interests of their respective representatives.

If the frontier army benefits the most, then the frontier army will try its best to avoid war.

When Li Hongzhao could not suppress the border troops, agreeing to carry out mutual trade would further make control more difficult.

So he didn't hold out hope.

Li Hongzhao sat behind the Long Case and said lazily: "Where should we start?"

"Destroy the main altar." Chu Zhiyuan said: "Cut off their source of power and slowly take care of the rest."

"The main altar is not that easy to destroy, right?" Li Hongzhao said: "Not to mention whether we can find it or not, can we break it if we find it?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If we have help from the military and martial arts masters, it will not be difficult."

Use formation to fight against method.

With the military formation facing the heaven and earth formation, and with the assistance of martial arts masters, it is not that difficult to break the formation.

"In the army..." Li Hongzhao muttered.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

Li Hongzhao snorted: "Why are you laughing?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It's best to use the Cloud Riding Cavalry, but if that doesn't work, let our Thunder Spear Formation come over to help."

"Just the Cloud Rider!" Li Hongzhao said, "How many are needed?"

"At least a thousand."

"A thousand cloud-riding cavalry..." Li Hongzhao pondered and nodded slowly: "Okay!"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Have your guards ever practiced formations?"

Li Hongzhao shook his head and said: "Their formations are far inferior to the Cloud Riders."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Then let's go to the Cloud-Taking Iron Cavalry. I will take them to action first, and others will handle the rest of the negotiations."

"There's nothing else to talk about." Li Hongzhao said lazily, "There's no need to talk more."

Chu Zhiyuan said: "Both dynasties will benefit if they establish markets on the border."

Li Hongzhao glanced at him sideways, his phoenix eyes shining brightly.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "What about the secret place? Don't you want to share the secret place with each other?"

"No need." Li Hongzhao hummed, "Your secret place is not good either."

"Then let's talk about exchanging prisoners."

"This can be discussed." Li Hongzhao said.

This was her greatest achievement during her mission to Da Jing, and it was also the key to gaining support from some members of the military.

But now, by exchanging prisoners to gain the support of some of the lower-level sergeants, and then gaining the support of some of the upper-level officers through maneuvering, the army can almost be leveraged.

The army is not monolithic, and there are many factions, so it is difficult to withstand her every pull and attack.

Everyone in the field kept their mouths shut and listened to the two men setting the general trend in a few words.

Having said this, Li Hongzhao stood up and said, "I'm a little tired, so I won't stay with you any longer. You just have a drink and enjoy it."

She left lightly.

Everyone stood up and clasped their fists in greeting.

When she left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Li Hongzhao is a woman, she has amazing momentum. When she sits here, everyone is under pressure.

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

Chu Zhiyuan also said goodbye and left.

As soon as he walked out of Chengtian Hall, Wen Chengen came to greet him outside.

Chu Zhiyuan didn't say much and followed him forward.

He looked up at the night sky.

A bright moon hung high in the night sky, and the stars were dim.

A huge sword stood across the void, looming, dense white lines gathered on the sword, and the patterns on the sword's body were faintly flowing.

Strings of lanterns hung under the eaves of the palace, and strings of lanterns hung in mid-air, illuminating the surrounding area brightly without any blind spots.

Chu Zhiyuan came to a side hall.

Directly north of the side hall is an Arhat bed, surrounded by warm and soft decorations.

Li Hongzhao was lying on the Arhat bed.

The wide lake green robe gently clings to the graceful body, embroidered with flower patterns, and filled with luxury.

She held her head with one hand and looked lazily at Chu Zhiyuan who walked in.

A palace maid presented an embroidered embroidery piece. Chu Zhiyuan sat down, clasped his fists and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

"Where does joy come from?"

"As your cultivation level improves, your mastery of the Emperor's Sword will become stronger, right?"

"You are also diligent." Li Hongzhao hummed, "I really have you."

Once you reach the great master level, it is almost difficult to improve.

Almost everyone stayed on the first floor, and he quickly reached the second floor.

Now it seems that the second floor cannot stop him, so he is about to enter the third floor.

He was still one step ahead of himself.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Without the Emperor's Sword, I will not be your opponent after all."

Li Hongzhao said: "Now I can see why you want to destroy the evil sect so much."

Chu Zhiyuan smiled at her.

Li Hongzhao said: "Because killing evil sect demons will be beneficial to your cultivation, right?"

Chu Zhiyuan touched his palms and praised.

Li Hongzhao hummed: "When you reach the Grand Master, you can't kill people at will, but it doesn't matter if you kill monsters, so the monsters in this world become your training aids. Isn't this the method of the Ziyang Sutra?"

Chu Zhiyuan said: "If I kill one more, my thoughts will be clearer. If my thoughts are clearer, my spirit will be stronger, and my practice will naturally speed up."

"That's all?" Li Hongzhao was dubious.

She felt that Chu Zhiyuan advanced so quickly after becoming a Grand Master, it must be because of the evil sect.

However, the evil sect's mentality also stagnated after becoming a great master.

Therefore, he should not be borrowing from the evil sect's mental method, but should be a kind of realm-breaking magic technique that is based on killing.

"What else can I do?" Chu Zhiyuan had to admire her sensitivity.

Without the help of these evil sect demons, the Glazed Sword Sutra would not have been able to reach this level.

Killing monsters in secret places is also a way, but it is far inferior to the evil sect monsters.

He felt that if he killed all the evil sects and monsters in the world, he should be able to practice the Glazed Sword Sutra to perfection.

I just don’t know if I will be truly immortal and live forever.

Chu Zhiyuan immediately said: "There is no obstacle to your Phoenix bloodline cultivation. You have been able to improve your cultivation level at an extremely fast speed. Are you preparing to ascend in the future?"

Li Hongzhao frowned slightly and stared at him.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "I understand, you are indeed ready to ascend. According to your current speed of improvement, it shouldn't take too long, right?"

"If I don't straighten things out, the Emperor's Sword won't be able to help me ascend."

"Only by completely controlling the Emperor's Sword can one break through the void and soar away. But if one wants to completely control the Emperor's Sword, one must calm down one's psychology."

"...That's right." Li Hongzhao said.

He has great understanding, so it is not surprising that he can deduce these things.

Chu Zhiyuan said: "It takes enough time to be deeply rooted in people's hearts and to completely establish prestige...For you, ten years is enough."

He then smiled and said: "It seems that you will be promoted to the throne after being the emperor for ten years."

Li Hongzhao smiled proudly: "This time, I'm going to be one step ahead of you."
