Chapter 1080: Incident
t the corner of her mouth, watching Yunliu's actions with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.Her eyes scanned over the two of them, and then she surprisingly found that the two actually seemed... rath..."What did you say"
Zhao Li glared with wide eyes, "Who else wants this palace's life"
Zhou Zhiyao saw that Zhao Li hadn't understood, and he let out a deep sigh. "Your Highness," he said, "You know very well the capability of the King of Beijang. He is now on a completely different level from before. The current King of Beijang... we can't afford to provoke him."
Besides, all the people we sent out have died within the Bei Jiang Wangfu. There are only a few guards left to protect Your Highness, and Han Yun is unwilling to let the Qingyun Pavilion help. If Your Highness leaves now, once Bei Jiang Wang’s men block your way outside the capital along with the princess, the consequences will be unimaginable.
He wasn't trying to alarm anyone, but he now saw things clearly. The current King of Beijiang was not the same as the one who had gone on a diplomatic mission to Xuan Country years ago. He was far more powerful, and no longer someone that their prince and princess could bully at will.
Let's not mention anything else, just say that the maidservant beside Princess Beijang is capable of dealing with him and the Third Prince. Just now, if one more person had come, he and the Third Prince wouldn't have been able to escape at all!
Thinking about this, Zhou Zhiyao felt uneasy and was afraid that they wouldn't be able to return from this trip.
The more panicked he became, the more he forced himself to calm down and analyze carefully. After doing so, he was very clear that if they left the capital now, they would probably only have a dead end!
After Zhou Zhiyao said this, Zhao Li was not an ignorant fool either, so he also understood what Zhou Zhiyao meant.
Because he had thoroughly understood Zhou Zhiyao's words, Zhao Li felt as if the sky had suddenly cracked open and struck him with lightning. He was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over him from head to toe, leaving him completely numb.
Yes!
How could he suddenly forget that most of the guards around him died at Beijiang Wangfu Now, there were only about twenty guards left.
In addition, having fought the maidservant beside An Xue Tang just now, he was even more apprehensive of the 'experts' in Beijang王府.
Even a little maid has such good martial arts skills, then what about the others in the Northern Border Prince's Mansion
If the masters from the Mo Yun Jing school went to take their lives, would he and Zhao Si be able to return to Xuan Guo safely
It's unthinkable!
The deeper he thought, the paler Zhao Li's face became. He stood stiffly in place, not moving at all, only feeling a cold sweat flowing down his spine.
Only now did he realize the kind of terrifying man he had provoked!
After a moment of silence, Zhao Li suddenly looked at Zhou Zhiyao, his voice slightly panicked:
"So what should I do now What happened in the palace just now couldn't be hidden from Mo Yunjing, he definitely won't let me off! What should we do now We can't leave the capital at this moment, are we just going to wait for Mo Yunjing to clean us up"
" "
Zhou Zhiyao's expression was rather grim. He had always known that the prince he had chosen wasn't very capable, but he never expected Zhao Li to be so foolish.
He chose to become Zhao Li's aide because he believed that as the Emperor's most beloved son, Zhao Li had a greater chance of inheriting the throne than any other prince.
And, Zhao Li being dimwitted is a good thing for him. Zhao Li isn't good at what he does, and he excels at what Zhao Li struggles with. This way, Zhao Li will become dependent on him, and only when Zhao Li eventually ascends the throne will his career reach its peak.
He wanted to ascend the throne and become the prime minister, second only to the emperor, but he could only achieve this by manipulating Zhao Li.
Now looking at Zhao Li's foolish and incompetent performance, he felt deeply powerless in his heart. At this point, he had to admit that he had indeed chosen the wrong master.
Zhao Li had been waiting for Zhou Zhiyao to come up with a plan, but as time went on, he noticed something was wrong with Zhou Zhiyao. He seemed lost, his eyes vacant and dull, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.
Zhao Li had never seen Zhou Zhiyao like this before, he frowned deeply, "What's wrong with you"
Zhou Zhiyao came back to his senses and shook his head slightly. "I apologize, Your Highness. I was just thinking about something."
No matter what, he chose this path. Regrets were useless. His life and future were all tied to Zhao Li. Therefore, no matter what, no matter how foolish Zhao Li became, for himself, for the family's glory, he had to find a way to protect him.
Not only must we keep him safe, but we must also find a way to get him into that position!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiyao concealed all his despondent emotions. He looked at Zhao Li and then suggested, "Your Highness, if we want to survive and leave the capital city of Tianba Kingdom, besides finding someone who can protect us, there's no other way."
Who can protect them
Zhao Li pondered for a moment, "You want this palace to return to the palace To find the Emperor of Tianba and have him protect us"
"…"
Zhou Zhiyao's heart was truly filled with helplessness, but it wasn't surprising that Zhao Li first thought of the Emperor of Tianba Country. After all, the majesty of a nation's ruler is something most people wouldn't dare to challenge.
If one can gain the protection of a ruler, there should generally be no problems.
The current situation in the Heavenly Hegemony Nation is not like ordinary situations.
Now, the Emperor of Tianba Kingdom can only rely on Mo Yunjing. So, no matter what Mo Yunjing wants to do, even if the Emperor of Tianba Kingdom is reluctant in his heart, he can only compromise when Mo Yunjing persists.
After all, the current Tianba Kingdom still relies on Mo Yunjing to repel the enemy troops.
So now, if one were to seek out the Emperor of Tianba Kingdom, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's den.
Zhou Zhiyao patiently explained the reasons to Zhao Li before saying his own thoughts, "Now in this capital city, I'm afraid only Tianba country's Fourth Prince, Mo Yunze, can stand against the King of Beijang."
"Do you want me to cooperate with Mo Yunze"
"For now, this is the only option."
Mo Yunze wanted to ascend the throne, he needed Xuan Guo's support. After all, they came to Tianba Guo this time to find a partner for cooperation.
Originally, they had chosen Mo Yunjing as their target. Before entering the capital, they planned for Princess Six, Zhao Si, to become the mistress of the Beijang Wangfu. This way, they could tie Mo Yunjing to them.
With the name of the God of War, Mo Yun Jing, by his side, Zhao Li reaching that position is only a matter of time.
>To their surprise, things didn't go as planned. Not only could King of the Northern Border not cooperate with them, but he was now highly likely to take their lives. This left them no choice but to lower their expectations and seek cooperation from Mo Yunze instead.
As long as Mo Yunze agrees to cooperate with them, someone from his side will naturally escort them back to Xuan Country.
Zhao Li also understood this point. Now that he was almost dead, he naturally wouldn't care about cooperating with anyone. As long as he could safely return to Xuan Guo, let alone cooperate with Mo Yunze, even if he cooperated with cats and dogs, he would agree.
Thinking of this, Zhao Li hurriedly said, "Then what are we waiting for, let's go to Mo Yunze's residence."
Zhou Zhiyao nodded slightly. "Your Highness, this road leads directly to the Prince's Residence. When we left the palace earlier, I instructed others to return quickly and gather necessary items before the King of Beijang and his entourage left the palace. They should be on their way to the Fourth Prince's Residence now."
Zhao Li didn't expect Zhou Zhiyao to have everything arranged. He was about to say something, but at that moment, a cold light flashed from inside the carriage. An arrow appeared out of nowhere, flying straight towards Zhao Li's head.motionless faces, Zhao Li stared straight at Zhao Si on the ground. No matter how distressed or painful Zhao Si was, no matter how humbly he pleaded with him, Zhao Li remained unmoved.Zhao Si's pitifu...
