Chapter 793: Chapter 789: Losses

Fu Zheng’s expression changed slightly, looking at Chu Zhiyuan: ”Your Highness?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

The entourage of the Eldest Prince must surely have strict guards.

Even if there were an assassination attempt, it wouldn’t be a major issue.

The most dangerous scenario in an assassination is being caught off guard, lacking enough guards.

Such would absolutely not be the case for the Eldest Prince.

So there is nothing to worry about.

”Your Highness?”

”There should be no major issue, otherwise the news would have spread long ago.”

”Could it be Yuanzhen doing this again?”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Such an assassination is a fool’s errand, suicidal, probably not Yuanzhen, but perhaps only the Demon Clan would do such a thing.”

Fu Zheng said: ”This is because they cannot stand Your Highness’s royal marriage.”

She felt as if the whole world was at odds with this royal marriage.

Too many are stopping this marriage, sabotaging this alliance.

Whether from within the Phoenix Dynasty, or the Demon Clan, or Yuanzhen Dynasty, obstructing and sabotaging it openly or secretly.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Have you ever considered a possibility, that the news of the Cave Mansion was not snuffed out by the two princes.”

”Then who else?” Fu Zheng asked.

Lu Haoyuan also looked over.

Chu Zhiyuan gently pointed at the sky.

Fu Zheng was surprised.

Lu Haoyuan thoughtfully nodded.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”In terms of acute senses, none surpasses this person.”

Fu Zheng slightly furrowed her elegant brows: ”If it truly is this person, what do we do?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Follow her lead.”

The one who knows the Emperor best is, of course, the Twelfth Princess.

He himself is merely observing through a mist, never able to clearly see this most powerful Emperor of the era.

The Twelfth Princess, shrewdly intelligent, should understand the Emperor more thoroughly.

As the three spoke, rumors about the assassination attempt on the Eldest Prince of the Jade Dynasty grew increasingly widespread.

Some cursed them, saying that the Twelfth Princess should never be given to a Jade Dynasty person.

Some were resentful, lamenting that they hadn’t managed to kill these people, thereby canceling the marriage.

Chu Zhiyuan listened, frowning deeply.

The Jade Dynasty was elated about this marriage, considering marrying a Phoenix Princess a glory.

The Phoenix Dynasty, however, held a contrasting sentiment with the populace opposing this marriage.

They felt cheated, believing that the Ninth Prince of the Jade Dynasty was unworthy of the Twelfth Princess, and if a marriage must occur, only the Eldest Prince was worthy of the Twelfth Princess.

Various discussions arose one after another, turning from the Eldest Prince’s assassination back to the Twelfth Princess’s royal marriage.

Chu Zhiyuan listened, shaking his head frequently.

Fu Zheng huffed lightly: ”A bunch of fools!”

Lu Haoyuan remained silent.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Popular sentiment and public opinion...”

He raised his head to look in the direction of the Imperial Palace.

The popular sentiment and public opinion still can influence the Emperor. He wondered if the Emperor was now regretting, reconsidering.

Chu Zhiyuan stood up and said: ”Let’s go, let’s change places.”

”Yes.”

Fu Zheng stood up, took a silver ingot from her sleeve and tossed it onto the table.

Lu Haoyuan followed them out.

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

An elderly man, with white eyebrows and beard, sat leisurely drinking wine inside.

Seeing Chu Zhiyuan come in, he waved him over.

Chu Zhiyuan sat down: ”Uncle Nine.”

”Heard the news?”

”Are my brother and them okay?”

”No problem, a bunch of crazy ones from the Demon Clan, haven’t hurt Chu’er and them.”

Chu Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He then said: ”Qiao’er and Zhen’er didn’t come, did they?”

”Convinced to return.”

”That’s good...”

Chu Hongwei put down the wine cup, frowning: ”We all underestimated the madness of these Demon Clan.”

This group had been prepared for an ambush and assassination, yet hadn’t expected such a fierce attack.

Chu Zhiyuan asked: ”Were there significant losses among the guards?”

”Six Imperial Guards died.”

”...”

Chu Zhiyuan’s face darkened.

Every Imperial Guard undergoes layers of selection, carefully picked, with clear backgrounds, good character, and outstanding talent.

These Imperial Guards are all future generals or important ministers.

”These Demon Clan experts, there were two Venerables, and eighteen Perfection Transformation Intent, even used the Blood Burning Secret Technique, like lunatics.”

”How many did they leave behind?”

”Two.”

”...”

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression grew increasingly grim.

They came with twenty, only left two behind, while killing eight of their Imperial Guards.

This was a disastrous defeat.

Chu Hongwei poured two cups of wine, the two touched cups, each drank in silence.

Chu Zhiyuan felt stifling frustration and slowly said: ”Where have my brother and them reached?”

”They will arrive at the Imperial City by noon today.”

”Noon... noon...”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded slowly.

”Zhao’er, what are you planning to do?”

Chu Hongwei saw his somber, intense expression, sharp eyes, murderous intent, and guessed he intended to take action.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”How can I let those who attacked the Yujing Envoy leave peacefully!”

”They still have two Venerables left, sixteen Perfection Transformation Intent!”

”I will act within my limits.” Chu Zhiyuan said.

”The royal marriage is imminent, make sure no mishaps occur, there are too many waiting to laugh at us.”

”Understood.”

”You truly understand, I hope.” Chu Hongwei doubted he truly did.

Even if he understood, it couldn’t stop his risky action.

Chu Zhiyuan stood and said: ”Uncle Nine, then I will take my leave, also...”

He spoke of the matter regarding Lu Haoyuan.

Lu Haoyuan’s identity needed to be kept secret, but he couldn’t hide it from Chu Hongwei.

Because he still needed Chu Hongwei to do many tasks, handling Lu Haoyuan’s aftermath.

He needed to bring his family to the Imperial City of Yujing, secretly allow them to communicate.

At the same time, he would secretly monitor Lu Haoyuan, watching for any abnormal behavior.

It was also a way to protect Lu Haoyuan, preventing Yuanzhen’s Listening Wind Pavilion from finding him.

Chu Hongwei furrowed his frost-like brows: ”Why did you take him on? It’s endless trouble.”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”He still has great use.”

”If he can betray once, he can betray again, besides, he is a Yuanzhen person, how could he wholeheartedly follow you?”

”His loyalty is still sufficient, he just happened upon me, plus his Mental State was broken by me, next time wouldn’t be so easy.”

He had a profound understanding of human nature, knowing that human will and spirit are fragile.

Sometimes, one can die heroically, yet sometimes crumble easily.

No matter how strong-willed a person, facing someone formidable enough, would collapse.

And Lu Haoyuan was unlucky enough to encounter him, thus eventually being dismantled.

However, how many like him exist in the world?

Lu Haoyuan was a Yuanzhen person, also a disciple of Yunyang Peak, yet his loyalty to Yuanzhen was nearly depleted.

Compared to the worry about his betrayal, he valued more Lu Haoyuan’s understanding of Yuanzhen.

Especially Yuanzhen people’s thinking habits, which are difficult to comprehend in a short time.

To deal with Yuanzhen, one must first understand Yuanzhen. Lu Haoyuan is an essential gateway.

Should he truly betray in the future, it would be inconsequential.

Chu Hongwei helplessly said: ”Alright, as long as you have a clear plan.”

...

Chu Zhiyuan stood atop a mountain peak, gazing at the convoy opposite.

Twenty-four carriages, moving slowly along the main road, with guards patrolling front and back.

Even at over three hundred meters away, he didn’t need Super Sense, and could see their low morale with the naked eye.

The guards, though forcing themselves to be alert, couldn’t hide their annoyance, anger, and resentment.

Chu Zhiyuan’s eyes wandered among the guards.

These guards were all clad in silver armor, helmets making their faces almost indistinguishable.

It couldn’t be seen who the leader was.

His gaze landed on one of the riders, recognizing him as the Eldest Prince, Chu Liechu.

He touched the Jadeite Ring.

A moment later, Chu Liechu brought four Venerables, leaving the main force, using Qinggong to appear before Chu Zhiyuan.
