"The Empress Dowager has decreed that the daughter of the Gu clan of the Xisha Kingdom should be chosen as the wife of the eldest son Zhi! It is a good marriage between the two countries."

Although Emperor Wu Cheng was in name only, Chu Zhi's wedding was still held according to the formal standards of a prince, with a lot of etiquette.

Zhao Cuo read out the marriage decree early the next morning under the Yuqing Gate of the Imperial City, witnessed by the officials who helped organize the wedding and his wife.

This was just the beginning of the etiquette. After that, he took the groom into the palace to meet the emperor and empress. Because the emperor was imprisoned in Qianxing Palace and could not get out, he had to go twice and time was tight.

'It's too tiring. If the Queen Mother hadn't told me to personally supervise this matter, I would have left it to my subordinates...'

The young father-in-law also said that he could be lazy and disobedient, but he would never neglect to follow the Queen Mother's instructions.

After everyone came out of the palace, they divided into two groups, going to the royal palace and the mansion where the Gu clan was located.

The team that went to welcome the bride was also mighty, with hundreds of soldiers clearing the way and eight colored sedans carrying them.

"Why does Your Highness look so pale?"

The Zhao thief immediately stood up among the many officials and guards.

Beside him was Chu Zhi, the eldest son of the emperor, who was wearing a red python robe.

The groom looked unhappy, his face was melancholy, and his unwillingness was already written on his face.

"When it comes to major events in life, it's inevitable that I'll be unsettled. It's my fault that the general is worried."

Chu Zhi forced a smile.

He is no longer nervous when facing Zhao Cuo now.

Probably Lord Shangfu really showed kindness to him.

"Your Highness has thought too much. The poison I planted for you this morning will keep you safe. If anything happens, please send someone to the Duke Zheng's Mansion to tell me."

Young Master Zhao said unhurriedly that he still remembered his promise to Queen Chen, so he would also be optimistic about Chu Zhi.

His Yourong is still pregnant. Seeing that something happened to his grown-up son, he is so sad that he has fetal contractions, but what should he do?

So he will still take good care of his stepson.

"The great general's kindness will never be forgotten even if I die! If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me to do it."

Chu Zhi bowed his hands with some emotion in his heart. He gradually understood that he was able to have a relatively free situation because of the face of the Zhao thief, and the emperor was under house arrest!

Two days ago, he also went to the Kunde Hall to meet his mother. His aunt, Queen Chen, repeatedly asked him to get close to General Zhao, but he didn't take it seriously.

But now he feels that he can say the words "Zhi is willing to worship the general as his adoptive father".

"That's all."

Zhao Cuo shook his head.

He looked up at the noon sky.

When a prince marries a wife, he does not need to go to the bride's house to welcome her as he did before. He only has to wait for the bride to be delivered to her.

"It's getting late, I'll take His Highness back home first, and then I'll go watch the procession of seeing off the bride."

Mr. Zhao said in a gentle tone.

He was still waiting to get off duty and go home as soon as possible.

There is still a beauty waiting to be fed in the house.

"Excuse me, General."

Chu Zhi agreed.

A group of people headed towards the west side of the palace.

The eldest son of the emperor had not yet received any canonization. He was supposed to live in the palace until he was granted the title of king before opening the palace. However, as soon as he entered the capital, he was arranged to live in Qixiang Palace on the edge of the imperial city.

"There will be fire-raisers following along the way. Your Highness can rest assured that no one will dare to make mistakes."

Zhao Thief sent another message to him on the road.

He felt that the Queen Mother seemed a little too cautious.

This is the capital city of Yu. The Holy Realm is here to seek death. He uses the forbidden army to open the way. Even the strong men of the Seventh Realm dare not violate the rules. In this case, they also send out a large sacrifice. Could it be...

'The female devil thinks that someone will ask a saint to take action. It's just a prince who can't get power. She won't make a big fuss about it, right?'

Zhao Cuo thought for a moment and still couldn't figure it out.

He couldn't know at this time.

There are two lines of sight above.

"I can't take action."

A cold voice rang out in the confined space above the capital.

In the void, a woman with silver hair hanging straight down to her waist stood in the air. Her face and figure seemed to be in another space, making it impossible for people to see clearly, as if she was there or not.

On the other side, a handsome middle-aged man stood in mid-air with a normal expression, looking at the long red dragon below with changing eyes. He knew that Chu Zhi was among them, but he could do nothing.

"Your Highness, the Eldest Princess, the Demon Court doesn't want Zhao Cuo to conquer the Seven Kingdoms in one fell swoop, right? Now he is sure of victory."

King Han narrowed his eyes and spoke.

"yes."

The afterimage in the sky is Boluan Pinellia.

Her figure became more and more hazy, like a bubble that might break at any time.

As the mist and shadow moved, she seemed to glance at the man in a python robe not far away, and spoke calmly.

"I heard you say that you want the Xisha Kingdom to go to war with Dayu, but is this the case?"

"How dare the little king deceive His Highness?"

King Han clenched his fists and said.

"If I remain indifferent, the Chu family will belong to the Queen. How will I face my ancestors at that point?"

He seemed to be very aware that he was seeking skin from a tiger. Every word seemed to show struggle, and his tone also contained resistance to the demon clan.

"So, you want me to convince the Gu tribe to use troops against you to delay the war in the southwest?"

Xia Yaonv's voice was still flat and almost cold.

"exactly."

King Han nodded solemnly.

"My king has sent people to the Xisha Kingdom to lobby. Only with the help of Demon Court can they send troops."

He had already made an agreement with the Gu tribe about sending troops and promised to cede the land of the four southwest prefectures, but it was still impossible for White Wolf to do so with nothing.

At first Emperor Yongzhao wanted to form an alliance with the Xisha Kingdom, but when Zhao Cuo led his troops to stop them, they simply retreated.

If possible, no one would choose war easily. This is the last resort.

"What's the point of doing this?"

Boluan Banxia said indifferently.

"Even if the Gu clan joins the war, it will be difficult to change the current situation."

"Yes, after the Southern Army swallowed up the Huainan Kingdom and half of Southern Xinjiang, its morale has become unstoppable."

King Han said sadly, what he wants to do now is to prevent Zhao Cuo from successfully suppressing the rebellion before next summer.

"I still have to fight for a chance of survival for Dayu. His Majesty Emperor Yongzhao in Qi is the Chu family's only hope. He cannot be defeated no matter what."

He also lowered his head as he spoke, with contempt in his eyes. This was the expression he had when he mentioned the emperor who was chased and beaten by Zhao thieves.

"not enough."

Her Royal Highness the Princess spoke calmly.

She didn't particularly believe in King Han's purpose.

But it doesn't matter, she also wants to delay Zhao Cuo's progress in the south, so that Dayu's money and food will be consumed in the battle against the rebellion.

'Does this King of Han want to be the Human Emperor? As long as the Queen Mother Zhao is still alive, the Chu family has no chance.'

She recited something in her mind.

In fact, the Demon Court also hopes that the Demon Queen will lose power in the internal fighting among the human race.

This woman is so terrifying, there is no flaw at any time, and the demon clan is also a headache.

"The Gu clan is not enough to hold Zhao Cuo back. If you can get the Dragon clan to join in, our clan will provide food and grass to the Xisha Kingdom for them to join the war."

Xia Yaonv said calmly that this was also her goal, to drag Dayu down in a long civil war.

She couldn't let Zhao Thief regain the Seven Kingdoms easily.

Then it will be impossible for Demon Court to go south to compete.

"Your Highness has guessed it."

King Han said firmly.

"I still have contact with His Majesty. He has convinced the Dragon Clan to send troops to resist Zhao Cuo after the spring begins."

The "Your Majesty" in his mouth, of course, refers to Emperor Yongzhao.

"oh?"

Boluan Banxia's expression fluctuated.

"If it is true as you said, I will also go to Xisha Kingdom in the future to persuade the leader of Xisha Kingdom to send troops."

She was even planning to put the demon clan to death personally. In short, she could not let Dayu unify smoothly. If it really got to that point, their demon clan might be in civil strife.
