Chapter 172 The Eldest Princess
Ye Li sat opposite the woman, and Zhao Wanqiu sat between them, making tea for them gracefully.
Looking at each other, the woman spoke first.
"Master Ye is a celebrity recently."
"Why, Yeling has received the news?"
"No, it's just that I have some connections and got some news from the human world."
"It's admirable to be in Yeling, and to keep an eye on every move of the human world."
Ye Li smiled, the woman didn't care about it, and she seemed to see that Ye Li's character didn't like to beat around the bush, so she didn't talk nonsense and said it bluntly.
"I'll just say, I think we have grounds for cooperation."
"Base?"
"That's right, an enemy's enemy is a friend, doesn't Master Ye think so?"
This woman also has a grudge against Wu Zhen? Hearing this, Ye Li looked at her without answering, apparently waiting for her to give him a reason.
It is obviously impossible for Ye Li to believe her with a few simple sentences. To cooperate, the first thing you need is honesty.
You can't see me investigate clearly, but I don't know anything about you.
Knowing what Ye Li was thinking, the woman was silent for a moment before speaking.
"My name is Zhou Yunbing."
He introduced his name, but Ye Li didn't respond to it.
"It's the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or it used to be."
Not hiding anything anymore, Zhou Yunbing bluntly revealed her identity.
The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she was the eldest daughter, but that was all in the past.
Originally, when the late emperor was in power, Zhou Yunbing was the most favored prince and concubine, but because she couldn't understand Wu Zhen, had power over the government and the public, and even regarded the emperor as a plaything in the palm of her hand, she was finally forced out by Wu Zhen. boundary.
Everything has to start after the death of the first emperor.
No one in this world is willing to be a marionette, let alone an emperor, and the same is true for the first emperor.
Although the late emperor had always obeyed Wu Zhen's words, in fact, this was all a performance, or it could be said to be a helpless act of the late emperor.
But secretly, the first emperor has been cultivating his own power.
He did this not for himself, but for the younger generation.
He knew that it was impossible for him to escape Wu Zhen's control in his life, but he had to seek a chance for his descendants.
Therefore, he spent his whole life, on the surface, with Wu Zhenxu and the snake, but secretly, he continued to cultivate his own strength.
And these powers, he has never used, because this is what he left for future generations.
I hope that the descendants of future generations can use this power to get rid of Wu Zhen's control and get rid of this cancer after they ascend the throne.
At the beginning, the person whom the late emperor was most optimistic about was Zhou Yunbing.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, female emperors were not a strange thing. Since Zhou Zu, there have been female emperors in history.
To put it bluntly, in this world, there is no discrimination between men and women, the common people are like this, and so is the royal family.
Everything depends on ability, and whoever has the strongest ability will be able to ascend to the Great Treasure, regardless of gender.
Moreover, when the empress succeeded to the throne, the child born would naturally also be Zhou Xin, so to put it bluntly, it would have no effect on the royal blood.
Originally, he had put all his hopes on Zhou Yunbing, but in the early stage when he felt that his time was approaching, the late emperor did gradually hand over the power in his hands to Zhou Yunbing's control bit by bit.
All this was done in secret. I thought Wu Zhen wouldn't notice it, but who would have thought, a flaw was revealed in the end, and Wu Zhen noticed it for some reason.
Wu Zhen, who learned of this, was naturally extremely furious.
When the Dongchuang incident happened, the late emperor knew that there was nothing he could do, so he could only secretly send Zhou Yunbing away and send her to Yeling in order to save her life.
As for himself, not long after Zhou Yunbing escaped, the late emperor passed away, and he declared that he died of a serious illness, which did not cause any disturbance at the beginning.
After that, the current emperor succeeded to the throne, that is, Zhou Yunbing's third younger brother.
As for her third brother, Zhou Yunbing knew very well that he had a submissive personality since he was a child, and for Wu Zhen, he was the best candidate.
"Now you know who I am?"
After talking about her own affairs, Zhou Yunbing still calmly looked at Ye Li and asked, Ye Li took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of him would be the eldest princess of the dynasty. Although he was a little surprised by Zhou Yunbing's identity, Ye Li still said calmly.
"Thanks to the eldest princess for being frank, but I have a question."
"Please say."
"Dare to ask the eldest princess, do you still have a bargaining chip to cooperate with me? You can't let me be your pawn, can you?"
Both parties should contribute to the cooperation, but Ye Li doesn't think that the eldest princess still has any power, or that he needs to see the bargaining chip in the eldest princess's hand.
After all, personally speaking, whether it is Zhao Wanqiu or the eldest princess Zhou Yunbing, they are ordinary people without any cultivation.
It's a bit ridiculous to cooperate with two ordinary people.
Hearing Ye Li's words, Zhao Wanqiu still lowered her head to make tea, wishing that everything around her had nothing to do with her, and Zhou Yunbing was not annoyed at all, and said as usual with a flat face.
"Master Ye wants to say that Wanqiu and I are just ordinary people, not qualified to cooperate with you?"
"It can be said that, and if it is only a unilateral contribution, I don't think it can be called cooperation. While the eldest princess needs my contribution, I think I should also see the benefits from the eldest princess, right?"
Ye Li's words were straightforward, Zhou Yunbing nodded.
"Indeed, in fact, since I was a child, I was detected to be born with a dead vein, and I was doomed to be unable to practice in my life."
"Furthermore, after the incident was exposed, the power hidden by the emperor was indeed hit by Wu Zhen."
"But this doesn't mean that the royal father has no back-ups. The power accumulated after exhausting his life, the royal father can't let them all be exposed."
"Since Master Ye wants to see the chips in my hand, I shouldn't refuse."
With that said, Zhou Yunbing got up and invited Ye Li.
"Also ask Master Ye to move."
Saying that, Zhou Yunbing walked out first, seeing this, Ye Li got up to follow, and Zhao Wanqiu.
In fact, Zhou Yunbing valued Ye Li for the same reason as Wu Zhen, both valued Ye Li's martial arts inheritance.
The potential of this thing is too great, and because of this, Wu Zhen and Qing Yunzi will get rid of Ye Li at all costs.
Because once you relax on this thing, there will be a large number of warriors in the human race.
At that time, it will be difficult to suppress it.
Zhou Yunbing also valued this point so much that he wanted Ye Li's support so much.
Because as long as you have Ye Li, it means you have an army of warriors. What kind of concept is this, regardless of monks, such an army is enough to sweep the entire dynasty.
