This is your world

"So, you will definitely help him, right?!"

In the courtyard.

Dressed in white, Zhao Ying looked like a winter pear blossom, stunningly cold.

She stared coldly at the old man in the room and asked. The cold tone filled the air like a substantial blade.

The originally windless courtyard suddenly started to blow up with dead leaves, which were constantly circling in the courtyard.

The wind blew her waist-length green silk hair, flying with the hem of her skirt.

inside the room.

The old man was still sitting quietly on the futon, with his waist bent and his body hanging low.

At such an old age, he may be on the verge of death at any time.

But he still lives strong.

He looked at Zhao Ying in the courtyard, as if he was thinking about something in his deep and cloudy eyes.

After a moment, he suddenly coughed slightly.

Immediately, the strong wind in the courtyard suddenly disappeared completely.

The dead leaves slowly fell to the ground. There was no sound around, not even a faint breeze.

The old man did not answer Zhao Ying's question, but asked about another thing.

"Have you met your master?"

Zhao Ying's eyes narrowed and she said nothing.

She didn't!

In the past few months after leaving the capital, she traveled around Dazhao while inquiring about her master.

But unfortunately, she didn't get to see her master.

The master has never been seen again since he left a few years ago.

"If you see him, let him come and see me!"

The old man's voice was filled with vicissitudes of life: "If you think about it, I haven't seen him for almost ten years."

"In the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye, so much time has passed!"

The old man sighed and said some incomprehensible words.

Zhao Ying stared at the old man and said coldly: "You said that as the guardian of Dazhao, you will not participate in the internal struggle of the Dazhao royal family, right?"

The old man said hoarsely: "That's right!"

"I hope you mean what you say!"

Zhao Ying said coldly.

The old man glanced at her, as if he had expected something, and there was a somewhat meaningful look on his old face.

"I have been in seclusion these years, looking for that glimmer of opportunity. I always feel that something is a little bit worse, but I can't say how wrong it is..."

The old man's eyes were half-closed, and he disappeared into a deep sleep, muttering to himself: "I have been in seclusion for so long, but I have never been able to enter that state..."

Zhao Ying frowned slightly, stared at him deeply for a few times, then turned and left.

When Zhao Ying left the yard, the old man who was still sitting on the futon also disappeared without a trace.

The quiet courtyard seemed like no one had ever appeared.

…

On an autumn evening, the cool breeze blows.

The sky in the distance slowly illuminates the capital, and the sky is peaceful.

Zhao Ying, dressed in white, walked out of the forbidden area and stared blankly at the sky not far away.

The luster of the sunset shone on the side of her face, making her alluring white face particularly bright.

It was as if the sky had shed a layer of rays of light on her body, and her cold and unparalleled temperament was even higher.

The long white dress is like snow lotus on the cold peak of the ice field, giving people a feeling of being cold, aloof and unreachable.

That tall and slender figure, graceful curves, and exquisite appearance are even more captivating. However, at this moment, there seemed to be a certain solemnity on his face that could not be removed.

The falling clouds stretched her figure to an elongated length, and her reflection was reflected on the ground.

At this moment, cold and aloof!

Until a slight cough woke her up from her daze.

Zhao Ying suddenly turned her head, and there was a young man sitting quietly under the tree not far in front of her.

Sitting lazily on the branch, with a bored look on his face, he looked quietly at Zhao Ying on the ground, his expression calm but a bit complicated.

"You are indeed here!"

Immediately, the young man stood up and jumped down from the tree, landing smoothly on the ground.

Zhao Ying's cold eyes suddenly turned cold: "Is something wrong?"

"So there is."

Li Beifeng nodded and gave her a complicated look: "Your father told me!"

Zhao Ying seemed to think of something and then fell silent.

"How did you know I was here?"

"Guess."

Li Beifeng said relaxedly.

But under the gaze of Zhao Ying's cold and bright eyes, Li Beifeng shrugged his shoulders: "Zhou Qiuning guessed it."

"She told me there was a chance you would come here."

As she spoke, Li Beifeng glanced at the courtyard behind her and squinted his eyes slightly.

Forbidden land?

Jokhang Forbidden Land?

Zhou Qiuning mentioned that there was a master with unfathomable martial arts skills here.

How high? !

Zhao Ying's eyes turned cold, and she knew that it was Zhou Qiuning who did it again. Then he glanced at him coldly, left without saying a word.

Li Beifeng looked at her lonely figure and sighed softly: "Shall we talk?"

Zhao Ying stopped slightly, without looking back, and said coldly: "We have nothing to talk about!"

"It didn't happen before, but now it does!"

Li Beifeng said calmly: "Now, we are comrades on the same front... Our target is Zhao Jing, isn't it?"

Zhao Ying still didn't look back, she said coldly: "Zhao Jing, I will solve it, I don't need you!"

"You can't solve it!"

Unexpectedly, Li Beifeng shook his head slightly and said calmly: "The Zhao Jing of today is no longer the same person as before."

Zhao Ying was silent and didn't speak.

But he didn't leave either.

Didn't even turn around.

What was left to Li Beifeng was a lonely figure.

Li Beifeng looked at her quietly, hiding a hint of complexity in his eyes, and said calmly: "Your father has a saying that there is no eternal enemy in this world... Although you and I have different identities and positions, at the moment, You and I both have the same goals!”

"You want to save Dazhao, but the building will collapse. I want to lead the Northern Qi Dynasty to restore the country and get back everything that belongs to us. Now the enemy in front of you and me is the same!"

"So, let's have a nice chat!"

silence!

There was a long silence.

The sunset gradually sets in the distance, and the last ray of light gradually dissipates from Zhao Ying's cold and delicate body.

The sky gradually darkened.

The two stood quietly, facing each other in silence, without anyone speaking first.

Li Beifeng stared at her back. He didn't know what he thought of, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She still hasn't changed!

She hasn't left yet, which means she has an answer.

Li Beifeng walked forward slowly, came to her, and looked at her quietly: "Now, we have to sit down and have a good chat about how to deal with our common enemy... As for the grievances between us, we will discuss it later. Forget it, how about it?"

Zhao Ying was still silent. She stared at Li Beifeng coldly, then turned and left without saying a word.

Li Beifeng stood there, staring at the line of white clothes in the darkness. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of joy in his heart.

Then, he quickly stepped forward and kept up with her pace.

The dark courtyard was empty.

Two figures climbed over the wall and fell into the courtyard one after another. They were dressed in white and walked along the courtyard to the backyard and arrived at the door of a room.

"Squeak!"

She gently pushed open the room, and when she was about to walk in, she seemed to think of something, and turned back to glance coldly at the figure not far away.

"Don't come in!"

The voice was cold and a little repulsive.

Li Beifeng stopped where he was, without speaking, and looked around quietly.

He is no stranger here.

The eldest princess’s mansion!

Zhao Ying's residence in the palace.

Since Zhao Ying left a few months ago, the princess's mansion seemed to be a lot more desolate, and there was no trace of the servants' maids in the mansion.

Li Beifeng stood outside the door and glanced into the room... What did she bring herself here for?

"Crack!"

The oil lamp in the room was illuminated, and Zhao Ying walked into the room. Her beautiful eyes scanned everything in the room, and there was a trace of nostalgia in her cold eyes.

Looking around, Zhao Ying took out something from the cabinet on the side.

Then he turned and left the room and came to another side courtyard.

Li Beifeng was stunned for a moment and followed closely.

…

In the lobby of the side courtyard, there are blue smoke and birds.

In the dim lobby, candlelight flickered, Zhao Ying stood quietly in front of the hall, with a solemn expression and lowered eyes.

Not far in front of her, there were several spiritual tablets.

After Zhao Ying finished lighting the incense in silence, she closed her eyes and looked calm.

At this moment, the dim environment and her quiet body almost merged into one.

Outside the lobby, Li Beifeng watched this scene quietly, his eyes falling on the spiritual tablet.

The spiritual tablet in the middle is none other than Zhao Ying's mother, the former empress of Zhao.

What surprised Li Beifeng was that besides the queen, there were two spiritual tablets around her. Li Beifeng even saw the words Xie Jinxiu on one of the spiritual tablets.

Seeing this, Li Beifeng looked startled and a little surprised.

Xie Jinxiu?

Isn't this Su Yi's biological mother?

At the same time, she was also the personal maid of the former Queen.

But why is her spiritual place here?

Li Beifeng was thinking a lot, and his eyes fell on another spiritual tablet with an unfamiliar name.

How is this going?

Li Beifeng squinted his eyes, feeling a little strange.

It’s understandable that Zhao Ying paid homage to her mother, but why is Xie Jinxiu’s spiritual tablet also here?

Even though Xie Jinxiu was Zhao Ying's personal maid behind the scenes, why did she set up a separate spiritual tablet here?

Not understanding the reason, Li Beifeng was silent for a moment, then walked into the lobby and came to Zhao Ying's side.

Zhao Ying, who was originally silent, seemed to notice something. She opened her eyes and glanced at Li Beifeng beside her.

"Can I put some incense on it?"

Li Beifeng looked at her calmly.

Zhao Ying said nothing, but frowned slightly, staring at his face without saying a word.

"Thanks!"

Li Beifeng spoke.

He understood Zhao Ying's character. If she didn't refuse, that was permission.

Good guess!

Li Beifeng took out three incense sticks, lit them on the oil lamp nearby, worshiped, and offered incense...

Xie Jinxiu is Su Yi's biological mother and Li Beifeng's future mother-in-law. Although they have never met her, Li Beifeng has a lot of respect for her.

Now that he has seen her spirit tablet, Li Beifeng naturally wants to pay homage to her.

Zhao Ying stared at Li Beifeng's movements, a look of confusion appeared on her cold face, and her brows furrowed deeper.

After finishing the incense, Li Beifeng breathed a deep sigh of relief. Looking back, he saw Zhao Ying staring at him with a very strange look.

"Can I ask a question?"

Li Beifeng thought for a while, looked at her and asked, "Who are these two?"

Zhao Ying came back to her senses, glanced at the other two souls, remained silent for a moment, and said coldly: "They were my mother's personal maids when she was still alive, and they once saved my mother's life and mine!"

Li Beifeng understood!

Saved a life?

Isn't that the time my aunt broke into the Jokhang Palace eighteen years ago?

This is gratitude!

I am grateful to the two of them for saving the lives of Zhao Ying and her mother.

"you……"

Zhao Ying stared at Li Beifeng, her cold eyes bright, as if she wanted to see through something: "Why do you worship my mother?!"

In the dim night, Zhao Ying's eyes were particularly attractive.

Under her burning gaze, for some reason, Li Beifeng felt a twinge of guilt in his heart.

He calmed down and said calmly: "The elder has passed away, why not worship the younger generation?"

Of course he would not name the person he was actually worshiping.

Zhao Ying stared at Li Beifeng and said coldly: "You lied!"

How could you deceive her with such lame excuses?

After Zhao Ying took a deep look at Li Beifeng, she looked away, turned her head, and said coldly: "My queen mother does not need your worship."

Li Beifeng chuckled lightly and said nothing. Looking at Zhao Ying, who was covered in cold air at this time, Li Beifeng suddenly seemed to have returned to a few months ago.

Nothing seems to have changed.

Can see Zhao Ying again, can appear in front of her again. Li Beifeng was in a good mood.

After worshiping her mother, Zhao Ying turned around and left, appearing in the backyard.

There was no one in the huge princess mansion.

Zhao Ying stopped in the courtyard, glanced back at him, and said coldly: "What do you want to talk about? Just tell me!"

Li Beifeng looked at her cold expression, which seemed to be deliberately cold and charming.

He sighed softly: "How is your health? Are you feeling better?"

Zhao Ying's cold expression was startled, as if she didn't expect Li Beifeng to ask about this.

After being distracted for a moment, she quickly said coldly: "You don't need to worry about this!"

"If you are in good health, we can work together well and complete our big plan!"

Li Beifeng looked at her face and said, "Shall I help you with a medical examination?"

"unnecessary!"

Zhao Ying still refused coldly, but there was a hint of panic in this refusal.

She quickly turned her head, shifted her gaze to the side, and said coldly: "If you have anything to talk about, please tell me immediately. If you don't say anything, I'll leave!"

Seeing this, Li Beifeng was silent for a moment, and then he got down to business: "Your father, did you say that he would assist Zuo to ascend the throne to you as emperor?"

Zhao Ying was startled and said nothing.

"Do you believe it?"

Li Beifeng asked calmly.

Zhao Ying was silent for a moment, "Father will never lie to me."

"how about you?"

Li Beifeng asked, "What do you think?"

Zhao Ying continued to be silent, and after a long time she said coldly: "Since ancient times, there has been no precedent for a woman to be the emperor. If I ascend the throne, I will be blocked by the people of the world. I am afraid it will cause too much trouble, or even be counterproductive..."

Her concerns are not without reason.

For a woman to be the emperor is a shocking thing.

How could anyone in the world agree?

Nowadays, Da Zhao is shaky and facing the danger of splitting. If she were to become the emperor at this time, whether she could silence the people of the world would be a big question.

"That's not what I asked!"

Li Beifeng looked at her face quietly and said slowly: "What I'm asking is, do you want to be the emperor?"

Zhao Ying said coldly, "What's the difference?"

"Of course!"

Li Beifeng nodded: "It doesn't matter whether there has been a woman as emperor since ancient times. If not, it's not a bad idea to start with you. As long as you are willing, everything will not be a problem!"

"What I want to ask is, do you really want to be this emperor? Do you really want to get the taste of power? Or are you unable to bear the sight of Dazhao and choose to bear all this for the so-called responsibility?"

Zhao Ying's originally cold face showed some indescribable confusion.

Does she want to be emperor?

There seems to be no answer to this question.

She said silently: "It's not important!"

"No, this is important!"

Li Beifeng looked at her face and sighed softly: "No matter what, I still don't want you to force yourself."

Zhao Ying looked stunned, her beautiful eyes staring at Li Beifeng's face, and there was suddenly an indescribable emotion on her face.

She felt a sudden tremor somewhere in her heart...

This made her a little panicked, and she subconsciously averted her eyes, lowered her head, and stared at the ground. Her black hair covered up the panic that appeared unexpectedly on her face.

"Of course, the main reason is that I am worried that one day in the future..."

Li Beifeng shook his head and said in a slightly complicated tone: "I don't hope that we will become enemies on the battlefield, let alone that we will meet each other in battle."

Zhao Ying lowered her head and remained silent.

As if she had been thinking for a long time, she slowly raised her head, her face regained its cold look, glanced at Li Beifeng, and said, "I want to be the emperor!"

The voice was cold and firm, as if he had made up his mind.

"Have you thought about it?"

Zhao Ying did not answer his question, but just looked at him coldly: "After all, you and I are not from the same world. It makes me the emperor. If you ascend the throne as the emperor of Northern Qi, you and I will eventually meet in war. It is inevitable. !”

Seeing her expression, Li Beifeng shook his head: "The restoration of the Northern Qi Dynasty is an inevitable trend, and you can't stop it."

"Even if you ascend the throne as emperor and put down the rebellion of your imperial uncle, Zhao's vitality will definitely be severely damaged. Under such circumstances, do you still want to go to war with me, Northern Qi?"

Zhao Ying was silent.

Li Beifeng said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many innocent people will be involved in this war? How many people between the two countries will die because of you and me? Is this what you want to see?"

"In the past, your father died in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Now it seems that this is the most stupid thing he has ever done in his life. Under the general trend, no one can change the outcome. If you and I go to war, we will only lose. Even if you win a tragic victory, What else can you get?!"

Zhao Ying was silent, her eyes still cold, but her expression seemed thoughtful.

"Then what do you think we should do?" she said coldly.

"The war between Dazhao and Northern Qi has ceased. You, Dazhao, have returned Northern Qi's former territory to us. The two countries have signed a treaty of friendship. From then on, they will not invade each other. They will open up towns and cities and exchange what they need..."

Li Beifeng spoke slowly.

This is his ultimate goal now!

When Emperor Zhao mentioned before that he wanted to support Zhao Ying to ascend the throne as emperor, this idea arose uncontrollably in Li Beifeng's mind.

It might be difficult if it were anyone else, but if the ruler of Dazhao is Zhao Ying. Then, this matter has a glimmer of hope.

It also made Li Beifeng suddenly change his mind.

It is Li Beifeng's mission and responsibility to restore the Northern Qi Dynasty and take back the territory lost by the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Beyond that, he was unwilling to add to the war. For ordinary people, every extra day of war means more people will suffer.

And as a result, more innocent lives will be lost in Li Beifeng's hands!

The most important thing is to restore the country of Northern Qi, stabilize the people of Northern Qi, and let the people of Northern Qi live a stable life.

If Northern Qi can take back Beizhou, Li Beifeng's mission will be completed.

As for the rest, it is to balance the relationship with Jokhang and think about how to ease the relationship between the two countries.

"Do you think that's possible?"

After Zhao Ying's eyes were temporarily absent-minded, they quickly returned to coldness: "Your people in Northern Qi hate me, Dazhao, to the bone. There is a blood feud between the two countries. How do you let it go? How do you resolve it?"

"That's better than dragging the people of the two countries into the mud of war again, causing all life to be ruined!"

Li Beifeng looked at her calmly: "Time can change everything. With the efforts of you and me, Dazhao and Beiqi may not be impossible! If it doesn't work in ten years, then twenty years. If it doesn't work in twenty years, then fifty years. Fifty years If it still doesn’t work, just a hundred years…”

"Starting from you and me, as long as we work together, we may one day be able to resolve the hatred between the people of the two countries!"
