This is your world

Chapter 714 Negotiation collapse

In a deserted town.

Li Beifeng and Zhao Ying appeared in the town, walking slowly through the streets of the town.

Under the kind invitation of Prince Zhaonan, the two of them were left to stay here temporarily. Zhao Ying did not refuse, and Li Beifeng naturally had no reason to refuse.

As for what Prince Zhaonan’s purpose was in keeping the two of them? Don’t know yet! But before they break up, everything still maintains a delicate balance.

On the other side, Prince Zhaonan was called away by an emergency call from the front. Before leaving, he specifically asked his servant and maid to take good care of the two of them.

Li Beifeng and Zhao Ying stayed in the room for a while and decided to go out for a walk.

Heavily armed soldiers could be seen patrolling and passing by everywhere, and a chilling atmosphere enveloped the town. The town was in shambles and there was a foul smell in the air.

"I have some impressions here. It used to be quite prosperous..."

Li Beifeng looked at the town in front of him and sighed softly.

The town is not too far from Ping'an County, and Li Beifeng has heard of it. But I didn't expect that the town would look like this now.

There are many houses in the town that have collapsed and become ruins. The doors of every house are closed, and there are not even a few people in sight on the streets.

Except for the patrolling soldiers passing by, there was no one else. The surroundings were quiet and extremely desolate.

Zhao Ying looked at this scene and remained silent.

“I don’t know what’s going on in Ping’an County!”

Li Beifeng said silently.

Ping'an County is not far from here and is very close to the war. I don't know what's going on now?

And Lijia Village, are the villagers okay? !

This war has affected too many people. From Zhongzhou to Nanzhou, Li Beifeng came to the front line and witnessed these tragedies with his own eyes.

His heart was heavy.

Even though he is now the prince of Northern Qi, he still does not want to see so many innocent people suffer the devastation of war.

Zhao Ying stopped and raised her eyes to look not far away, and then Li Beifeng also followed her gaze.

"got windy!"

Zhao Ying suddenly spoke softly.

Li Beifeng was startled, and then he noticed that the branches not far away were swaying and the dense forest was rustling.

The autumn wind is howling and raging, constantly eroding the small town!

The cold wind howling in the sky rippled between the sky and the earth, making this desolate town even more miserable.

The cold wind howled, blowing on Zhao Ying's face and blowing her long clothes away.

"yes!"

Li Beifeng was a little emotional.

got windy!

Another year has passed.

"It's cold, let's go back!"

Li Beifeng looked back at her and spoke softly.

"Um."

Zhao Ying nodded slightly, and the two turned back.

When they returned to the tent, when the soldier outside the door saw Li Beifeng standing side by side with the eldest princess, the look on his face finally became unbearable and he gradually became frightened and uneasy.

In the distance, the sounds of war could be heard, and the rumble continued.

There were still faint sounds of fighting, and a new round of fighting started again.

This time the fighting lasted for half a day and gradually subsided.

In the evening, Prince Zhaonan appeared tiredly in the military camp.

"Your Majesty!"

The military advisor on the side stepped forward and wanted to say something. Prince Zhaonan waved his hands, stared at the sand table, and remained silent for a long time.

It wasn't until a long time later that Prince Zhaonan sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, if this stalemate continues, it may not be too beneficial to us..."

At this time, the military advisor gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we just..."

Prince Zhaonan had an expressionless face and waved his hand to stop the military advisor from continuing.

Then he raised his eyes: "Where is Ying'er?"

Seeing this, the military advisor sighed deeply, and then replied: "It's settled!"

"Prepare the food and wine. I want to have a family dinner with my niece!"

"..."

Night time.

On the east side of the town, in a restaurant.

In the backyard hall.

There is a table with a dazzling array of dishes, including delicacies from all over the world!

There were three people sitting at the table.

Prince Zhaonan, Zhao Ying, and Li Beifeng.

It was supposed to be a family dinner for the Zhao family, but Li Beifeng was also called over by Prince Zhaonan.

Obviously, Prince Zhaonan recognized Li Beifeng's identity. Although they are not married yet, Zhao Ying is now pregnant with his child. In the eyes of Prince Zhaonan, Li Beifeng has actually become Zhao Ying's husband.

During the dinner, Li Beifeng didn't say much, he just sat next to Zhao Ying in silence.

As if reminiscing about old times, Prince Zhaonan chatted with Zhao Ying about their daily life and the Zhao family's family affairs. His expression and brows were full of the loving care of his elders.

In a daze, it seemed that the middle-aged man in front of him was not Prince Zhaonan of Dazhao, not the prince who dragged Dazhao into the quagmire of war, but a kind elder, chatting with the younger generation about daily affairs at home.

Occasionally, he chatted with Li Beifeng about some things, testing Li Beifeng's identity in his tone, but Li Beifeng was still able to do so without revealing any flaws.

After a meal, it was quite enjoyable.

"Yinger, in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed and you have grown up!"

Prince Zhaonan sighed: "Uncle Huang is already old too!"

"I still remember the days when I was drinking and shooting arrows with your father. I can still remember them vividly. I didn't expect that so much time has passed in the blink of an eye, and things have changed!"

Zhao Ying glanced at the emperor's uncle calmly, remained silent for a moment, and then said: "If the emperor's uncle wants to see my father, there is still a chance."

Have the opportunity?

Let Prince Zhaonan go to the capital?

Isn't this delivered to your door?

Prince Zhaonan's expression remained unchanged, as if he had thought of something: "By the way, speaking of this matter, I would like to ask..."

"Is your father really coming back to life?"

Prince Zhaonan stared at Zhao Ying and asked this question that he had always been concerned about.

Return from the dead?

How could there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?

More than half a year ago, Emperor Zhao was assassinated, and Zhao Jing's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion. But more than half a year later, Emperor Zhao suddenly came back to life, returned to the Zhao court, deposed Zhao Jing, and regained the throne?

Isn't this a joke?

Isn't this a living farce? !

Prince Zhaonan couldn't accept it no matter what, and until now, he was still not sure whether it was true or not.

"That's right!"

Zhao Ying nodded calmly: "My father was assassinated by Zhao Jing, but luckily he didn't die and survived. Now he has returned to the palace and is in good health!"

"So it's true?!"

Prince Zhaonan had a look of shock on his face and muttered to himself for a long time before suddenly giving a wry smile.

"Everything in the world is unpredictable. I never thought there would be such a magical thing in this world!"

Prince Zhaonan's eyes were very complicated. After a long time, he sighed, then looked at Zhao Ying, and suddenly asked: "Well, Ying'er, you came all the way to see the emperor this time. Could it be that you were influenced by your father?" The emperor’s order?”

Hearing this, Li Beifeng's heart suddenly tightened and he glanced at Zhao Ying inadvertently.

Zhao Ying remained calm and nodded calmly: "Yes!"

"As expected!"

Prince Zhaonan was in a daze.

"Uncle Emperor, stop it!"

Zhao Ying was silent for a moment, her beautiful eyes fell on Prince Zhaonan, and she suddenly said: "Now that my father has returned to the throne, Dazhao can't afford any trouble. If you persist in rebelling, it will be extremely detrimental to Dazhao. Uncle Emperor, give up!" "

"give up?!"

A meaningful smile appeared on Prince Zhaonan's face: "Ying'er, do you think I still have a chance to give up?"

"I have no way out. If I give up, will your father let me go?"

Zhao Ying said in a deep voice: "I will tell everything to my father. My father will not embarrass you too much because of our years of brotherhood."

"Yinger, you are too naive!"

Prince Zhaonan shook his head and sighed: "Your father is not that simple... I know him too well, and he will not let me go. Eighteen years ago, he framed me, and I lost, lost I am convinced..."

"Do you know? Eighteen years ago, he wanted to kill me and wipe out the roots!"

As if he thought of something, Prince Zhaonan's eyes were slightly cold: "I gave up everything, I was willing to give up everything I had spent half my life, so that he could spare my life without any suspicion... Do you think that this time he Will you let me go?"

Zhao Ying was silent.

Indeed, she understands her father!

The emperor's uncle's rebellion has already offended his father. How could his father spare his uncle?

"I can't look back, and I don't plan to look back!"

Prince Zhaonan squinted his eyes and shook his head.

He is not willing to give in!

He lost that year!

But this time, he hasn't lost yet!

Over the years, he has been secretly conserving power. He recruits talented people from all over the world for his own use. At the same time, he secretly inserts countless informants inside Jokhang to win over aristocratic families in the Jiangnan area!

Now, with the support of almost the entire Jiangnan clan, he has a large number of troops, and he already has the capital to compete with the Jokhang court!

He is one step closer to the throne that was originally supposed to be his.

How could he give up under such circumstances?

It is impossible to give up!

"Uncle Emperor, if this continues, the war will only lead to a loss of life, and the people will not be able to survive."

Zhao Ying's tone was low: "You can't bear to watch the Great Zhao Kingdom be destroyed?"

"I have no choice!"

Prince Zhaonan sighed, his eyes gradually becoming colder: "This is a contest between me and your father. Now that he is still alive, the grudge between me and him will have a winner sooner or later!"

Zhao Ying was silent.

She really wanted to persuade the emperor's uncle to stop being stubborn.

But now, she could see his determination from his expression.

She also realized that she couldn't persuade him.

Uncle Huang will not give up.

This is already a dead end.

Realizing this, Zhao Ying's heart suddenly sank.

Could it be that we have to reach that point in the end?

"Ying'er, the emperor has watched you grow up, and the emperor doesn't want you to get involved in this matter."

The coldness in Prince Zhaonan's eyes gradually dissipated, and he looked at Zhao Ying with a doting look in his eyes.

"Now that you are pregnant, you should take good care of the fetus and give birth to the child."

As he said that, Prince Zhaonan's eyes fell on Li Beifeng beside him and said: "You two are not married yet. If you two are willing, how about I be the witness and let you two officially get married?"

marriage?

Li Beifeng was startled, he did not expect Prince Zhaonan to say such words. But soon, he vaguely noticed something in Prince Zhaonan's eyes...

He was about to say something, but Zhao Ying shook her head slightly: "It's still too early to get married, so we should wait..."

Zhao Ying lowered her head and said softly: "Let's wait until the child is born."

Prince Zhaonan was startled for a moment, then nodded: "That's fine!"

"In that case, then Ying'er, you can rest assured and raise the baby here. I will hire the best midwife to take care of you, so that the baby can be born safely."

"..."

It's quiet at night.

In the inn behind the restaurant.

inside the room.

Li Beifeng and Zhao Yingjing were sitting at the table. The oil lamp on the table was on, illuminating their faces.

Li Beifeng glanced at her and hesitated to speak.

Zhao Ying noticed his eyes and said calmly: "Just say what you want to say?"

"It seems like your uncle doesn't want to let us leave!"

Li Beifeng sighed.

Zhao Ying raised her eyes slightly, and then slowly lowered her eyes.

No words were spoken.

"He wants us to get married. On the surface, he wants to get married, but in fact, he wants to keep you and me here..."

Li Beifeng squinted his eyes, and he could see through Prince Zhaonan's purpose and thoughts at a glance: "Letting you stay here to raise your child is just to keep you here and become a pawn for him to use!"

As the eldest princess of Dazhao, Zhao Ying could cause a huge blow to Dazhao if she was kept in the hands of Prince Zhaonan.

"I know!"

Zhao Ying's eyes were calm, and she had already seen through all this.

"If nothing else, we should be under house arrest!"

Li Beifeng glanced outside the inn door, it was quiet. But I can feel that there are experts surrounding the inn and guarding it.

Now that Dazhao and the rebels are at war with each other, Zhao Ying comes to see Prince Zhaonan at this time. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that something is wrong, and there must be fraud!

But Prince Zhaonan still met Zhao Ying. It is impossible to say that he has no purpose!

Keeping Zhao Ying may be his biggest goal.

However, Prince Zhaonan and Zhao Ying still have the same family relationship as before. Therefore, the two never had any disagreements and maintained a delicate balance.

"Since there is no way to talk about it, there is only the last way to go!"

Li Beifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression gradually became serious.

The ultimate goal of his and Zhao Ying's visit this time was naturally to capture Prince Zhaonan.

Since Prince Zhaonan could not be persuaded to stop, he could only proceed according to the original plan.

However, Zhao Ying remained silent: "I can't do it."

The emperor's uncle was very kind to her, but now she couldn't do it for her to turn against the emperor's uncle and take his life.

"I know."

Li Beifeng sighed, if Zhao Ying really succeeded, he would have to doubt whether Zhao Ying was really cruel and unkind.

How cold-blooded would it be to be able to kill such a good uncle to her?

"If you are unwilling to kill him, then I'm afraid we can only..."

Li Beifeng thought for a while and looked up at her.

Zhao Ying looked into Li Beifeng's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"Then let's do it!"

Li Beifeng nodded, glanced at the night outside, and yawned: "It's getting late, go to bed early."

Zhao Ying said nothing and stood up slowly.

After taking two steps, he seemed to realize something. He turned around and saw Li Beifeng following him.

"You can't kick me out tonight, can you?"

Li Beifeng pointed to the door: "Your uncle's people are watching. If you kick me out, he will be suspicious."

Prince Zhaonan knew about the relationship between Li Beifeng and Zhao Ying, so he naturally arranged the two of them in the same room.

If Li Beifeng is kicked out now, it may indeed arouse suspicion.

Zhao Ying was silent, did not speak, and came to the bed silently.

When Li Beifeng saw this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Didn't refuse?

Default?

There's drama! !

He immediately beamed with joy and stepped forward.

He already has children, but he hasn't been touched yet...Li Beifeng always has the illusion that he loves to be a father.

Now he is trying to make up a ticket!

However, as soon as he came over, he saw Zhao Ying picking up the quilt on the bed and throwing it to Li Beifeng. Her cold face glanced at the ground.

"You sleep on the floor!"

The tone was cold and left no room for doubt.

"ah?"

"..."
