Chaoyang himself was stunned for a moment, Yin Cheng was not such a naive person...
"But... the fruit was mostly spoiled when it was delivered here." The Imperial Guard was a little worried and looked at Xiao Junze tentatively.
"Hmph." Xiao Junze sneered, disapprovingly. "Since the princess likes to eat, I will change it to fresh fruit and bring it to the princess."
"No need, bring the cherry fruits." Chaoyang shook his head.
Xiao Junze clenched his fingers subconsciously. Just because it was given to him by Yin Cheng, he was reluctant to throw it away even if it broke.
Looking at the fruit sent by the imperial army, Chaoyang smiled helplessly. Yin Cheng was always reminding Chaoyang that he must go back to save him as soon as possible, otherwise he would rot in the palace like this fruit.
Xiao Junze looked at Chaoyang quietly, his heart hurting.
My fingers were clenched under the table until the veins popped out.
Seeing the bad fruit brought by Yin Cheng, she could smile so happily...
Is it true, have you fallen in love with Yin Cheng?
"Your Majesty, where were you talking about just now?" Chaoyang asked the palace maid to select the fruits, wash them, and sit back on the stone table.
Xiao Junze slowly loosened his fingers and looked up at Chaoyang. "Do you know about the selection of saints in Dark Charm Tower?"
He doesn't want to give up...
I can't even give up.
Chaoyang was stunned for a moment, why did Xiao Junze suddenly become serious? "Yeah, I know."
"Bai Yue has killed other competitors, and now you are her biggest competition." Bai Yue can only become the Saint of the Western Regions by killing Chaoyang. "You... what do you think of the position of the Saint of the Western Regions?"
Even though he was unwilling to let Chaoyang participate in the selection of the saint, and he was unwilling to have Chaoyang have anything to do with the Western Region, he still wanted to respect Chaoyang's own choice.
"The Saint of the Western Regions is a being above the imperial power. With the current situation in the Western Regions, the rights of the Saint can even influence the imperial power." Once upon a time, in the era of Mother Bai Li, the Saint was already a being who was inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Today, the Western Region has declined, and the royal family has withered. Once a saint is selected, she will be supreme.
Chaoyang narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. "Chaoyang helped His Majesty deal with Shen Yunrou and Shen Qingzhou, and completely consolidated Fengtian's imperial power. Then, Your Majesty...should you also help Chaoyang appropriately?"
Obviously, Chaoyang wants to compete for the position of saint.
Xiao Junze clenched his fingers again and looked up at Chaoyang. "If you want it, I will kill Baiyue."
Worshiping the moon is now just fish and meat on the chopping board. The reason why Xiao Junze kept worshiping the moon is to save it for the rising sun.
"No, she is still useful." Chaoyang subconsciously avoided looking into Xiao Junze's eyes. "Chaoyang needs your Majesty's help for something else."
He knew Bai Yue's identity but still kept her in the palace, was it for...himself?
"You have to control it well." Xiao Junze knew that he was still useful to Chaoyang... but Baiyue was not that easy to control.
"I will kill her, but not now." Baiyue wanted the treasure map, and it was obvious that the other party had greater ambitions.
She and Bai Yue are currently using each other. When Bai Yue is no longer useful, she must get rid of him as soon as possible.
"Chao'er..." Xiao Junze spoke again. "Shen Yunrou is Shen Qingzhou's daughter after all. It's not easy."
To deal with Shen Qingzhou, you must use your strength to target his weaknesses, but Shen Yunrou is definitely not Shen Qingzhou's weakness.
"One thing defeats another. If it's worshiping the moon versus Shen Yunrou, who do you think will win?" Chaoyang quietly poured a cup of peach blossom wine and tasted it carefully.
Even though he doesn't drink often, Chaoyang still feels that this wine tastes silky and smooth. "Good wine..."
Sure enough, I can't stop drinking this wine.
"Them?" Xiao Junze's voice stiffened. Did Chaoyang want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight?
"Baiyue wants the treasures of the Gujia Dynasty, and my condition is to get rid of Shen Yunrou." Chaoyang said very lightly.
Xiao Junze softened his heart a little and took his time. At least Chaoyang was now willing to talk to him.
Previously, Chaoyang didn't even want to talk to him.
Even though he knew that Chaoyang was trying to use him now, Xiao Junze was willing to do so.
"Gujia Dynasty..." This treasure is what Xiao Junze has always wanted.
It was rumored that the treasure and the art of war were obtained, and the right time, place and people gathered together.
If you have enough military pay, it proves that you have a strong legion. If you have a strong enough army and have the method of manipulating and transporting troops, you will be invincible and have no opponent.
"Mr. Gui Gu once predicted that the world will be reunited after a long period of division. The treasures and military books of the Gujia Dynasty will become the only salvation in the war-torn era."
To unify the world, one must have the right time, right place, right people, and the right people, both of which are indispensable.
"Yes, we are living in troubled times now. Heroes emerge in large numbers. If we obtain treasures, we will have the capital to start an uprising." Chaoyang nodded.
Baiyue's ambition is not just that of a saint from the Western Regions. Once she has power, she needs treasures. With treasures, she can make up for the current shortage of troops in the Western Regions.
The Western Region will return to its peak moment.
"Do you have the treasure map in your hand?" Xiao Junze looked at Chaoyang warily.
Chaoyang put down the wine cup and looked up at Xiao Junze. "Does your Majesty want it?"
Chaoyang is testing Xiao Junze.
The treasure map is something that everyone wants to get, and Xiao Junze has shown desire from the beginning.
"Chao'er, don't mention the treasure to anyone again." Xiao Junze frowned, still looking around cautiously.
Does Chaoyang know that once word spreads that Chaoyang has a treasure map in his hand, it will be more attractive than a hunting order from the Western Regions.
At that time, not only Jianghu organizations, but also emperors from all over the world will regard Chaoyang as honey.
At that time, he might not even be able to protect Chaoyang.
"Why?" Chaoyang looked at Xiao Junze meaningfully.
How could she not know what this meant...
However, she wanted to know what Xiao Junze was thinking.
"You are a smart man. If the treasure thing is leaked to Baoyue... do you know..." Xiao Junze's pressure was very low and he stood up suddenly, obviously a little angry.
How could Chaoyang do business with someone like Baiyue?
"When she made a deal with me, she was sure that she could hold me firmly in her hand. Since Bai Yue is so confident, of course I...can't live up to her good intentions." Bai Yue thought she was smart, so she made a deal with Chaoyang. She made a deal to help Chaoyang get rid of Shen Yunrou. If Chaoyang didn't fulfill his promise by then, she would spread the word that Chaoyang had a treasure in his hands.
Just the hunting order has almost caused Chaoyang to die many times. If all countries know that the treasure is in Chaoyang's hands, how many days can she be stable?
By then, let alone freedom, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you will still be stared at.
Worship the moon, you are so smart.
"What a pity..." Chaoyang drank one glass after another. The peach blossom wine was silky and slightly sweet. He thought the wine was not strong, but ended up... a little tipsy. "She doesn't know me very well."
Chaoyang smiled at Xiao Junze.
Xiao Junze's eyes were stagnant, and his body and soul seemed to be trapped a little bit.
Chaoyang drank a pot of peach blossom wine, and now her jade-white cheeks glowed with a light pink color like peach blossoms.
The impact on Xiao Junze's soul was like a huge stone falling on the lake.
Quickly looking away, Xiao Junze seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat.
"Your Majesty, let me tell you a secret..."
Chaoyang laughed out loud while drinking. "I...actually don't know where the treasure is..."
