Chapter 692 Discussing Cooperation

"Ying'er, you are my favorite daughter and the one I have the highest hopes for. I believe you will not let me down, right?"

Emperor Zhao's face was full of hope. He quietly looked at Zhao Ying in front of him. Ying'er had never let him down.

Since the Qintiansi was handed over to her, every step she took over the years has not let him down.

She is smart, sharp and knows how to use power. Not only did she inherit his martial arts talent and unfathomable martial arts, she was also quite skilled in statecraft.

Therefore, Emperor Zhao has always liked this daughter and was relieved to hand over all the power of the court to her.

If there is only one regret, it is probably that she is a woman! Otherwise, the kingdom of Dazhao would never be Zhao Jing's turn.

But for Emperor Zhao now, these seem to no longer be restrictions! As a person who has "died" once, he no longer has the same thoughts as before.

When he was in power, Emperor Zhao did not think about this problem! However, since the founding of Dazhao, there has never been a precedent of a female emperor. If he brought up this matter, he would certainly be strongly opposed by the old officials in the court.

It's as difficult as ascending to heaven!

Therefore, Emperor Zhao had no choice but to choose Zhao Jing.

But now, things are different now.

Emperor Zhao, who had died once, finally made up his mind.

"..."

Silence!

A long silence.

Zhao Ying looked at Emperor Zhao in front of him quietly and said, "Father, do you want me to take over the political affairs of Dazhao? Or, take over the throne of Dazhao?!"

"Now Dazhao is in crisis, and the only person I can rely on now is you, Ying'er!"

Zhao Ying was silent: "I am afraid that I can't take on this important task, and it is difficult to convince the people!"

"I believe you can!"

Emperor Zhao's eyes were full of trust: "You have never let me down!"

Zhao Ying was silent again.

She had guessed the answer!

However, when she heard it from her father's mouth, she was still a little dazed.

As if thinking of something, Zhao Ying's voice became a little deeper: "Is my father's health serious?"

"My father won't live long!"

Emperor Zhao sighed and shook his head: "I know my father's health best. Although he was saved this time, I was still affected. In addition..."

Emperor Zhao squinted his eyes, seeming a little confused: "I was injured and left with a hidden disease. Over the years, I have been trying to cure the hidden disease. However, to no avail, and was betrayed by the person I trusted the most!"

"I am afraid that my body can't hold on for much longer now!"

"..."

Back then, Li Wushuang broke into the Dazhao Palace and almost killed Emperor Zhao! Emperor Zhao survived by chance, but he was also seriously injured and left with a hidden disease.

Over the years, he tried every way to cure the hidden disease in his body, but to no avail.

As the hidden disease became more and more serious, he had to rely on the folk prescriptions of wandering sorcerers to suppress the injuries in his body. Although the folk prescriptions were useful, they also dragged down his body.

The immortality he pursued was ultimately nothing.

"Father, there are many famous doctors in the world, and there will always be someone who can cure you!"

Zhao Ying spoke coldly.

Emperor Zhao sighed: "I have looked for famous doctors all over the world, but without exception, they are ineffective!"

Zhao Ying hesitated.

A familiar face appeared in her mind, and at the same time, her mood also changed slightly.

She was silent, not knowing whether to speak.

"My life is not long, but this Dazhao Kingdom cannot be defeated in my hands. Now Dazhao is facing internal and external troubles, and I can't sit idly by!"

At this time, Emperor Zhao spoke slowly, his voice gradually became cold, and his momentum changed.

"Ying'er, this Dazhao Kingdom was fought for by my ancestors of the Zhao family, and it must not be destroyed in my hands. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhao Ying was silent.

She understood!

It was also an expected answer.

It's just...

"I'm not sure!"

"It's okay, I believe in you!"

Emperor Zhao looked at her and said, "You will definitely be a qualified leader. Apart from your daughter, you are my favorite candidate. It's a pity..."

Emperor Zhao sighed and soon thought of something.

"By the way, Ying'er, do you know him?!"

Emperor Zhao suddenly thought of something and asked.

When he asked to see Zhao Ying, to Emperor Zhao's surprise, the young man really found Ying'er.

Zhao Ying was silent and nodded: "Yes."

"You and him..."

Emperor Zhao seemed to think of something and narrowed his eyes: "What is the relationship?"

Hearing his father's question, Zhao Ying's face showed a trace of trance. But soon, it disappeared.

She shook her head gently: "Not familiar."

"Not familiar?"

This answer made Emperor Zhao startled.

He knew his daughter, and his daughter would not say such strange words casually.

As if thinking of something, Emperor Zhao's voice was slightly low: "What's his name? Who is he?!"

Zhao Ying was silent for a while, and then he said silently: "His name is Li Beifeng!"

"Li Beifeng?"

Emperor Zhao silently recited the name, which seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Father, Beizhou is in chaos!"

At this time, Zhao Ying slowly opened his mouth and said calmly: "The rebels of Beiqi took advantage of the situation and occupied many cities in Beizhou, eyeing our northern border covetously!"

"What?!!"

This news almost startled Emperor Zhao from the bed, and he couldn't believe it: "How is this possible?!"

Northern Qi rebels?

He was not unfamiliar with this.

Eighteen years ago, Emperor Zhao was full of vigor and after destroying Northern Qi, he incorporated Beizhou into the territory of Dazhao.

But in the past eighteen years, the remnants of Northern Qi have never given up the idea of ​​restoring their country. Over the years, there have been constant rebellious forces.

In order to suppress the remnants of Northern Qi, Emperor Zhao appointed He Wansheng as the governor of Beizhou, and he was in charge of the Beizhou area.

The effect is remarkable!

Under the command of He Wansheng, although the remnants of Northern Qi have never given up restoring their country in the past ten years, they have never caused too much waves.

As time goes by, the remnants of Northern Qi are not a big deal after all.

But now, when Emperor Zhao learned that Northern Qi had occupied many cities in Beizhou, he was shocked!

He was in a coma for several months, and the world changed drastically!

Zhao Qi rebelled, and Beizhou was also in chaos!

"What's going on?"

Emperor Zhao looked cold, staring at Zhao Ying: "Why is Beizhou in chaos? How can the old party of Northern Qi have such strength? Where is He Wansheng? What is he doing?!"

Zhao Ying said calmly: "The old party of Northern Qi attacked Xiyang City, He Wansheng was seriously injured, and Xiyang City was lost. Now the situation in Beizhou is chaotic, and the army of Northern Qi is eyeing it covetously. Father..."

She paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The restoration of the Northern Qi country is unstoppable, and everything is too late!"

"How is it possible?!"

Emperor Zhao still couldn't believe this fact, and was shocked and angry: "When did the old party of Northern Qi have such strength?! Are all my Dazhao army good-for-nothings?"

Zhao Ying said: "Li Wushuang has been preparing for more than ten years and has accumulated a strong foundation. My Dazhao court neglected the management of Beizhou, giving them an opportunity, and more importantly..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Ying's voice was slightly cold, and there was an indescribable look on her expressionless face.

"Father, when Northern Qi fell, the child left behind by the royal family of Northern Qi... He is still alive!"

Emperor Zhao was stunned and realized something: "You mean, the remnants of Northern Qi are still alive? He appeared?! The leader of the remnants of Northern Qi is now the heir to the throne of Northern Qi?! The crown prince of Northern Qi?!!"

"Yes."

Zhao Ying nodded expressionlessly.

"So that's it, so that's it..."

Emperor Zhao murmured, his face full of disbelief.

"I have long said that we must eradicate the roots of Northern Qi. For so many years, the Imperial Astronomical Department has been trying to completely exterminate the remnants of Northern Qi, but has never found that child..."

Emperor Zhao's eyes were full of coldness: "Who is that evil seed? How did he escape my search?!"

Zhao Ying's eyes became extremely complicated at this moment. She seemed to hesitate for a long time and never spoke.

Emperor Zhao noticed the change in her expression and stared at her: "What's wrong?"

When he saw the tangled look on Zhao Ying's face, Emperor Zhao seemed to think of something, looked up at the door, and his face suddenly changed.

"Is it him?!!"

"..."

Outside the door.

In the yard.

Li Beifeng sat under the eaves, leaning lazily against a pillar.

Beside him stood two female disciples of Ruyi Tower, with some fruits and snacks beside them.

Li Beifeng put the snacks into his mouth from time to time, glanced at the closed room not far away, expressionless.

I don't know what he was thinking.

"Young Master?"

A female disciple beside him glanced at Li Beifeng quietly.

"Hmm?" Li Beifeng turned around.

"Can I ask you a question?" The female disciple asked cautiously.

"Go ahead!"

Li Beifeng put a grape into his mouth and asked lazily.

"Are you married to the leader?"

The female disciple asked gossipingly.

Li Beifeng often came here, and everyone was familiar with this Mr. Li. In addition, Mr. Li was approachable and had never ordered them to bully them, so the disciples of Ruyi Tower had a good relationship with him.

In addition, Mr. Li was the leader's man, which made everyone feel more intimate.

Li Beifeng was stunned, glanced at her, and smiled: "Why are you asking this?"

"Everyone is very concerned!"

The female disciple smiled: "Everyone hasn't seen the leader for a long time, I don't know how the leader is doing!"

Li Beifeng smiled: "She is very good!"

"Then, did Mr. Li marry the leader?"

Li Beifeng hesitated for a moment and shook his head gently: "Not yet."

"Ah?"

The female disciple was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why?"

"I don't know!"

Li Beifeng sighed lightly.

He also wanted to know why Su Yi rejected his proposal!

Of course, maybe that was not a proposal.

But Su Yi did reject him, and Li Beifeng didn't know the reason.

What happened?

Su Yi was unwilling to say, so the only person who knew was Zheng Ning... one of his future father-in-laws!

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng was a little angry.

He didn't have much good feelings for his future cheap father-in-law!

The first meeting almost cost Li Beifeng his life. Then he didn't know what he said to Su Yi, which made Su Yi unwilling to marry him.

If it weren't for him saving Qi Ling and Qing Ning that night, Li Beifeng would never let him meet Su Yi.

What did he say to Su Yi?

It's unknown!

After hearing this, the two female disciples were surprised, but they didn't continue to ask.

After all, it was a private matter between the leader and Mr. Li. Although they got along well with Mr. Li, they would not overstep their boundaries.

"By the way, sir, can I ask another question?"

"Hmm?"

"Who is that person inside?"

The female disciple couldn't help asking.

They have taken care of the middle-aged man for several months, but they still don't know his identity. Why is the young master so concerned?

"Guess?"

Li Beifeng smiled, his eyes fell on the closed door, squinting his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

"He is a big shot..."

I don't know how long it took.

"Squeak!"

The door of the room was pushed open.

Zhao Ying, dressed in white, appeared at the door and quietly looked at Li Beifeng under the eaves over there. Li Beifeng under the eaves seemed to be talking to two female disciples, with a smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Ying frowned slightly.

At this time, Li Beifeng's sight happened to look over. The moment the two looked at each other, Zhao Ying quickly turned his eyes away.

Then he jumped up and disappeared from the yard.

"So amazing!"

The female disciples behind him stared at the figure in white clothes leaving in a daze.

They could feel that she was very good at martial arts and was so beautiful.

"Young Master, who is she?"

The female disciple couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, but she looks like..."

The two female disciples murmured to themselves, and one of them wondered: "White clothes, so beautiful, and so good at martial arts, could it be..."

In an instant, a person appeared in their minds.

"Zhao Ying?!"

"Zhao Ying, the eldest princess of Dazhao?!!"

The pupils of the two female disciples showed disbelief, and they couldn't help looking at Li Beifeng: "Young Master, she is..."

"That's right!"

Li Beifeng raised the corner of his mouth, and then turned over from the fence under the eaves.

"Okay, remember to keep it secret, you go down first!"

Li Beifeng waved his hand, came to the outside of the room, and walked in. In the quiet room, Li Beifeng saw Emperor Zhao again.

Emperor Zhao was leaning on the bed, his eyes fixed on Li Beifeng.

Calm, but there seemed to be a bit of indescribable complexity in the calm.

It seemed that there was still some coldness brewing in the air.

"Have you finished talking?"

Li Beifeng looked at him, crossed his arms and smiled: "The reunion of father and daughter should be very touching, right?"

"Yes!"

Emperor Zhao spoke slowly, but his eyes were always on Li Beifeng: "I underestimated you. Your background and methods are beyond my expectations!"

"It seems that she told you everything?" Li Beifeng smiled.

Emperor Zhao looked at him and said calmly: "This is not your original appearance, right?"

Standing in front of him, Li Beifeng's extremely ordinary appearance formed a sharp contrast with his sharp eyes.

Li Beifeng chuckled and gently stretched out his hand to slowly remove the silk mask on his face.

Soon, a handsome man's face appeared in front of Emperor Zhao. Like a young man, elegant and profound, but also a bit handsome.

Li Beifeng, who had returned to his original appearance, seemed to have changed his temperament. He looked at Emperor Zhao in front of him and said playfully, "Let me introduce myself to you now. My name is Li Beifeng, the orphan prince of Northern Qi!"

"Yes, it's the Northern Qi that you destroyed eighteen years ago!"

"..."
