Zhu Xiaobao even knew about the 'war preparation tax', and it seems that he had already entered the imperial city. Thinking about it, Yu Shichang can assassinate Zhu Xiaobao, and of course Zhu Xiaobao can also come here.

But Yu Shi'an is the king of a country after all, and he is still a little bold, not so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but said very depressedly: "You are wantonly recruiting troops and preparing to attack my Zirui Kingdom, of course we must also be prepared!" ”

"Hey, hey! I said, cousin, who was this Southern Zirui Country originally from? Who built this imperial city? We're just reclaiming our territory! Zhu Xiaobao said with a sneer.

"It's useless for you to catch me, it's impossible for me to disarm and surrender, and even if you kill me, it's no good. …… My father will change the emperor at most, or he will be in charge of the government himself. Alas, I'm not Yu Shichang, and my father doesn't care very much! All he cares about is Yu Shichang, who has a pure blood! Yu Shi'an said a little sadly.

"Hehe, I'm not here to kill you, I just want to talk to you, because I don't want the consequences of the two countries going to war and suffering heavy casualties, and this consequence will take many years to gradually recover!" Zhu Xiaobao shook his head and smiled.

"Are you saying you don't want to attack my Southern Zirui Country? So what do you want to do? Yu Shi'an asked a little puzzled.

"Reconciliation! The North and South Zirui Kingdom are combined into one, this is the best result, you can still seal the king's fiefdom and live your free life! Zhu Xiaobao nodded slightly and said.

"Huh! Or do you want me to surrender? This is impossible, even if I don't want to fight, I am willing to reconcile, but the people of the Southern Zirui Kingdom worship the White Tiger clan the most. The reason why those generals were willing to follow my father was because he was the person who had cultivated his mental method to the highest level after Yu Wanqiang, and now my second brother Yu Shichang has cultivated his mental method to the seventh layer, which is the height that Yu Wanqiang could only reach back then! And my second brother is still improving! Yu Shi'an said somewhat proudly.

"Humph! Your second brother didn't tell you, why did you come back with an injury this time when you went to North Zirui Kingdom? Why didn't you kill me? Why can't he wait to kill me? Think again, why do I dare to come here? Zhu Xiaobao proudly raised his head and said.

"Huh? He said that it was because the Vermilion Bird Clan's Vermilion Bird Law Ministers helped you, and there was also this Great Venerable who made a move! Yu Shi'an said in surprise, and seemed to be able to feel that Yu Shichang was hiding something.

"Fart! Lao Tzu didn't go at all that day, otherwise Yu Shichang's little rabbit cub would have come back alive? The old apprentice immediately shouted angrily, isn't this slandering him, a great venerable, he can't even take a martial venerable, and he also made Zhu Xiaobao seriously injured, isn't it too shameless to spread it! Originally, the old apprentice was annoyed that he failed to rescue Zhu Xiaobao when he was in place, but now when he heard this, he was even more furious!

"Huh! I said cousin, let's not talk about this for now, let's change places and sit down first, eat and chat, what do you think? It's better than sitting on a dragon bed and talking, right? Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile this time.

"Yes...... Be...... That's the best! Speaking of which, we are indeed cousins! When Yu Shichang heard this, he immediately nodded and said, let's not talk about whether he can be rescued, at least it won't be so embarrassing! Half of the clothes are taken off, and his concubine is still used as a cushion by Zhu Xiaobao, which is also too ugly!

Dressed again, Yu Shi'an also calmed down, it seems that Zhu Xiaobao has no ill will towards him. Since this is the case, it is better to talk about it, and he is not willing to go to war in his heart. That Ming Concubine also woke up at this time, standing behind Yu Shi'an, still trembling a little, her face was even more angry and anxious, she was sitting on her ass by Zhu Xiaobao just now, can she not be ashamed! Fortunately, Yu Shi'an didn't mind, and held her hand to show comfort.

At this moment, the voice of the leader of the eunuchs came from outside the door, and he came to report to Yu Shi'an in fear, because there were five less guards, could he not be in a hurry!

But unexpectedly, Yu Shi'an walked out of the dormitory very calmly, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I invited two masters, and I was about to talk at night, you came just in time, let the imperial dining room prepare the wine and food again, and send it immediately!" And you just stay outside my dormitory, the people who pass the dishes can send it here, and the rest will be handed over to Concubine Ming! ”

Yu Shi'an didn't scream and wanted to escape, he knew the kung fu of these guards, I'm afraid he couldn't escape even if he wanted to! There's a Great Venerable one staring at you! Just talk about it, speaking of which, he has been suppressed by Yu Shichang for too long, and he still has some rebellious psychology in his heart, and it would be the best if he could not start a war! The current situation can't beat people at all!

"Yes......" The head of the imperial guard was also a little puzzled, but seeing that Yu Shi'an didn't seem to have any hints, nor did he panic, could it really be the master who was invited to talk at night? can enter the dormitory without knowing it, that is definitely a master! This guard is still a little self-aware.

The inside of the dormitory immediately became brightly lit again, and the cupboards in the imperial dining room were also a little depressed, and they just wanted to rest, and they were about to start working again, but they didn't dare to slack off, so they all took their places quickly, turned on the stove and lit a fire, and the imperial dining room was lively.

What's even funnier is that Zhu Xiaobao was wearing eunuch clothes, and even went to the imperial dining room with Yu Shi'an, and personally instructed those imperial chefs to cook dishes. The process from cutting vegetables to pickling and then firing is an eye-opener for those imperial chefs, and it is really the first time I have seen such a roasted dish. The key is that it is full of color and flavor, could it be that the emperor invited a god chef tonight? The Tai Guardian who followed behind Yu Shi'an seemed to have figured it out a little at this time! This emperor doesn't have any big ambitions, he just likes to enjoy ......

Returning to the dormitory, Yu Shi'an became more and more sure of Zhu Xiaobao's identity, and his cooking skills alone are the best proof of identity! And he began to recognize Zhu Xiaobao's suggestions a little, he likes the comfortable life of the peaceful and prosperous world!

However, the dishes in the imperial dining room were only sent to the outer room of the palace, and then they were brought in by Concubine Ming herself, and no one else was allowed to enter, and the imperial guard could only stay in the outer room, and of course the conversation inside could not be heard! But he was relieved, it seems that the emperor is not in danger, but is talking to people about wine!

"Hee-hee! Ming Imperial Princess, right? I was offended just now, please forgive me, this piece of superb exquisite carved milk silky soap will be given to you, which is a little reparation! Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile, this guy actually brought a piece of beautifully packaged soap, and even the old apprentice looked at it in a daze, I don't know what treasure he still has on him!

"Hmmm! Thank you, King Chitose! The famous princess immediately took it in surprise, held it in her hand and couldn't put it down, and actually owed a debt and gave a gift!

These concubines have long been famous for Zhu Xiaobao, because they all regard Zhu Xiaobao's high-end luxury goods as treasures, since those big merchants migrated to the North Zirui Kingdom, it is now difficult to get soap and toilet paper even in the palace, and the palace has no money, and the price of these things is high and scared to death, so many concubines' stocks have run out!

Yu Shi'an also looked at Zhu Xiaobao a little sluggishly, this guy actually came out with these things, the atmosphere on the scene was suddenly not so tense, and Yu Shi'an also felt that if the north and south Zirui Kingdom merged, I am afraid that his quality of life would be greatly improved!

"Hehe, cousin, you can see that I don't want to go to war. I prefer to maintain a comfortable and stable life, the merger of the two countries, the revitalization of all industries, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the national strength will be further enhanced, why not! Zhu Xiaobao said with a smile, and poured Yu Shi'an a glass of wine.

"Alas! Brother, it's not that I don't want to merge, to be honest, I, the emperor, am also very aggrieved. But one thing is certain, that is, all the civil and military generals are looking at this White Tiger clan, and they don't have the highest mental cultivation. You also know that the Southern Zirui Kingdom is the world that the White Tiger clan has beaten down! Yu Shi'an took a sip of wine, then sighed and said.

"Oh? Then now Yu Shichang's mental cultivation should be the highest? It's only the seventh layer! Hum! Zhu Xiaobao snorted a little disdainfully.

"What? What the? The seventh layer only? Brother, the first emperor Yu Wanqiang was the seventh layer, and he had already laid such a big foundation! Until now, those civil ministers and military generals are still often thanking the great achievements of the first emperor! Yu Shi'an exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't the seventh floor remarkable?" Zhu Xiaobao was also a little surprised to see Yu Shi'an's exaggerated expression, although it took some effort to advance himself, but it was not too difficult!

"Of course, haven't you seen that Yu Shichang is not only at the seventh layer of the mind now, but even his own cultivation has reached Wuzun, you have fought with him, you should already know it, right? His White Tiger Law is said to have surpassed Yu Wanqiang back then, and he has also comprehended a natural skill, which is the first genius who can comprehend a natural skill in hundreds of years! Although I don't like his arrogance, I have to admit that his talent is too good! My father only has him as a son in his eyes, and I am just an ornament, just to help them ensure their supply! If you really want me to reconcile, unless......" Yu Shi'an stopped in the middle of speaking, because he thought it was impossible, and he didn't dare to say it.

"Unless what? Cousin, you've been drinking and chatting with me, what else don't you dare to say? Zhu Xiaobao's eyes lit up, and then he poured Yu Shi'an a glass of wine. Concubine Ming also diligently served Yu Shi'an with vegetables on the side, but now she is biased towards Zhu Xiaobao in her heart, to put it bluntly, those high-end luxury goods in place, she is already biased towards Zhu Xiaobao!

"Alright! Unless you can prove that you are stronger than Yu Shichang, I am not talking about martial arts cultivation, but mental cultivation, and the most important thing for the people of the White Tiger clan is the cultivation of the mental method, because the White Tiger inheritance can only be opened if the mental method is cultivated to the seventh layer or above! Yu Shi'an said ruthlessly, he has always had a deep grudge against Yu Shichang, and now he hopes that Zhu Xiaobao can be stronger than Yu Shichang, although he is still not optimistic about Zhu Xiaobao in his heart.

"Oh? It's not that hard. The difficult thing is how to prove that I am stronger than Yu Shichang in front of the people of the White Tiger Clan! Zhu Xiaobao nodded, thinking about this more difficult question, now the inheritance place is Yu Wanfeng and the people who checked it, if he goes, the risk seems to be too great! And there is also a Wind Venerable who didn't show up, this guy is not very easy to mess with! The old apprentice is at most a tie with him!

"Huh! Master, this matter must not be impulsive, it is still necessary to think long-term! The old apprentice hurriedly said on the side, he knew that at most, he could help Xiaobao drag the Wind Venerable, wouldn't the rest depend on Zhu Xiaobao alone!

"Well, let's not talk about that, cousin, if I can prove that I am stronger than Yu Shichang, and it is much stronger, then what promise can you make?" Zhu Xiaobao's expression was more serious at this time. He needed an attitude from Yu Shi'an.

"As long as you can prove that you are stronger than him, I will help you spread it out immediately, and when the time comes, those civil and military generals will also change their positions. I will open the gates of the city to welcome you in. Then you must take over the position of patriarch of the White Tiger clan in the land of inheritance, huh...... If you abolish Yu Shichang again, otherwise I will definitely not be at ease! Yu Shi'an thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, this is betraying his father and brother! But Yu Shi'an has long been resentful, and now such a choice is reasonable!

"Of course, there is also Yu Wanfeng, this father and son can't let go. Back then, it was Yu Wanfeng who drove my sister out of the South Zirui Kingdom, causing me to lose my memory and be reduced to slavery! Zhu Xiaobao said a little ruthlessly.

"No, no, no, it's not about their lives, as long as it doesn't threaten me!" Yu Shi'an hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and said eagerly, no matter what, it is also his father and half-brother! He's not going to do that much!

"Hehe, understand, abolish their cultivation and let them spend the rest of their lives in peace! I see what you mean! Zhu Xiaobao suddenly smiled slightly, it seems that this Yu Shi'an is not ruthless enough, but he has a better impression of Yu Shi'an, such people often do not have much of a threat.

"And! I want to have my own fiefdom, or at least a prince! Yu Shi'an also immediately put forward his own conditions.

"No problem! Give you a county, make you the king of leisure, your fief is completely managed and operated by you, and all taxes belong to you, and you don't need to pay them. And all the goods under my name are supplied at cost price, which will definitely make your fiefdom the richest county! Zhu Xiaobao said boldly, as long as the number of private soldiers is controlled, the others can agree to him.

"Really? That's great! If that's really the case, I won't have to live this kind of scared life all day in the second half of my life! Yu Shi'an said yearningly.

He, the emperor, is really aggrieved, has no real power, and his hands are always tight. Even the Ming Imperial Concubine behind her looked at Zhu Xiaobao in surprise, of course she knew Yu Shi'an's embarrassing situation, and it was really better to be a happy prince!

"Hmmm! Okay, so let's talk about it for today, and we'll go back first. Remember, don't spread the word about today, are your guards reliable? Zhu Xiaobao got the most satisfactory promise, and he planned to go back, what he wanted to consider was how to let the people of the White Tiger Clan know that his mental cultivation had surpassed Yu Shichang's, this was the problem to go back and think about it!

"No problem, don't worry, these are my personal guards, and they have followed me since I was a child! Well, you can take this jade card, if you want to come to me again, you can easily come in with this jade card! Unexpectedly, Yu Shi'an was really thoughtful, and gave Zhu Xiaobao a special jade plate before leaving.

However, there is really no problem at all in terms of secrecy, because Yu Wanfeng and Yu Shichang have no precautions against him at all, they have already thrown the throne to him, what else can he do out of the ordinary? So there is no eyeliner and internal response around him at all, because there is no need for it at all!

This time it's good, the two of them came out of the palace in a carriage, and the leader of the guard personally drove to see each other, and the guard was also cautious along the way, because the pressure given to him by the old apprentice was too strong, and he couldn't bear it!

But back at the inn, Zhu Xiaobao and the old apprentice had a fierce dispute, because Zhu Xiaobao wanted to go to the inheritance place of the White Tiger clan. And the old apprentice is resolutely opposed, he is really worried about the safety of Zhu Xiaobao!

"Master, don't be in a hurry about this matter, you can't take such a big risk in the future! If either the Great Venerable of Ice and Fire or the Great Venerable of Wu Wei were here, I would not object to you! But now I'm alone, and at most I can only deal with the Wind Venerable alone! It's too risky! It's not worth it! The old apprentice said very excitedly, in his opinion, Zhu Xiaobao still has a lot of time, if he cultivates his mind to the eighth layer, wouldn't it crush Yu Shichang!

"Huh! Okay, let's not fight! Old apprentice, I'm afraid you have forgotten that even you great Venerables in the inheritance land can't be within five hundred steps, right? So if I enter the Land of Inheritance, Venerable Wind will not be a threat! And you forgot? Venerable Feng is nominally Yu Shi'an's master, not Yu Shichang's master! So I don't think it's that risky! Zhu Xiaobao was very moved when he saw the old apprentice's red face, and hugged the old apprentice and said affectionately.

"That's not okay, Venerable Wind is moody, you must not take it lightly, if he is waiting for you outside the inheritance land, wouldn't it be very dangerous! Yu Shichang alone is now a cut above your martial arts! The old apprentice still shook his head and said.

"Why don't you go to the Venerable Wind first? See what he means? ”

"Huh? That's fine! Kitchen knife to me! ”
