As Li Beifeng slowly spoke out, the expression on Emperor Zhao's face gradually became thicker.

He quietly stared at the appearance of Li Beifeng in front of him, a handsome young man!

His temperament and appearance were all very familiar, so familiar that Emperor Zhao felt a little confused for a moment.

"It's really you!"

Emperor Zhao spoke in a deep voice.

From Li Beifeng's face, he saw the heroic appearance of the former Northern Qi Emperor.

No wonder his eyes are so familiar... His eyes are so similar to that of the Empress of Northern Qi!

"Very surprised?!"

Li Beifeng looked at him and asked.

"Kind of!"

Emperor Zhao spoke slowly, his eyes slightly complicated. He never imagined that the young man in front of him would be the orphan of Northern Qi.

Prince of Northern Qi? !

His biggest enemy!

However, now, he is being saved by his biggest enemy!

This has to be said to be an irony!

"I knew about your existence back then, and I ordered the massacre of the Northern Qi royal family. Unexpectedly, I still left you as a fish that slipped through the net!" Emperor Zhao said solemnly.

In order to prevent the resurgence of the Northern Qi Dynasty, no one in the Northern Qi royal family was spared.

But unexpectedly, Li Beifeng survived!

"Yeah, maybe this is fate!"

Li Beifeng also felt a little emotional: "God won't let me die, let me live... Of course, this is probably your fate in Dazhao, right?"

Emperor Zhao was silent!

Life?

Is all of this really life?

"Northern Qi has been subjugated for more than ten years, and now it no longer exists!"

Emperor Zhao was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "It shouldn't exist anymore!"

Li Beifeng sneered: "It seems like you don't have the final say whether Northern Qi should exist? Could it be that you were also a righteous master when you killed Northern Qi?"

Emperor Zhao said in a deep voice: "Back then, you, the Northern Qi Dynasty, were located in the north of Jozhao and were eyeing our border with Jozhao. Naturally, I couldn't just sit idly by and ignore it!"

"So, this is why you killed me, Northern Qi?"

"I gave you Bei Qi a chance!"

Emperor Zhao said coldly: "Your Northern Qi will merge with us, Da Zhao. This is the general trend!"

"Is this the general trend?"

Li Beifeng seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "What is the general trend? For your own selfish desires, you have displaced countless people in the world. Is this the general trend for you?"

[To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】

"For your benefit, hundreds of thousands of our people in Northern Qi have become homeless. Is this also your general trend?"

Emperor Zhao said coldly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the eternal truth!"

"And now that I, Northern Qi, have made a comeback, is it also a general trend?"

Emperor Zhao was silent!

Now that Beizhou was in chaos, the restoration of the Northern Qi Dynasty was an established fact, and he was powerless to change it.

Li Beifeng pulled up a chair and sat down, looking a little lazy: "You can't stop it, and you can't change anything. Now you are no longer the emperor of Jozhao. Don't forget, it was me who saved you!"

His words seemed to remind Emperor Zhao, who stared at Li Beifeng complicatedly, and said after a long time: "I regret that I didn't eradicate you completely back then!"

"No, you already did it, you just didn't do it!"

Li Beifeng had an expressionless face: "When Sunset City was destroyed, how many people did you kill and how many evils did you do in Dazhao? The people of Northern Qi still remember these blood debts!"

Emperor Zhao was silent.

"So, it is all your fault that Dazhao has reached this stage."

Li Beifeng shook his head gently: "You are the initiator of all this!"

Emperor Zhao said in a cold voice: "I opened up the territory and expanded the territory and unified the Zhao Dynasty. The great achievements I have done are as great as those of Taizu. What does it have to do with me that the Zhao Dynasty has fallen into the current situation?"

"Great achievements?"

Li Beifeng sneered, with a sarcastic smile on his face: "I heard that you regard the annexation of Northern Qi as your achievement and the thing you are most proud of in your life. But are you sure you are doing the right thing?"

Emperor Zhao stared at Li Beifeng and said nothing.

"In the eighteen years since Beizhou was annexed by you, Dazhao, have the people of Beizhou had a good life? As the emperor of Dazhao, have you ever cared about the lives of the people of Beizhou?"

"you have not!"

Li Beifeng looked at him and sneered: "Last winter when it snowed heavily, do you know how many people froze to death in Beizhou? Do you really care about how many people were displaced and how many people froze to death on the streets? Is this what you call merit? Using the lives of innocent people You will use your life to build up your life experience, and then the historian will praise you as an emperor through the ages?"

"I'm afraid, this is your true purpose. As for the unruly people in your eyes, their life and death has nothing to do with you. What's more, they are not strictly your people?!"

Facing Li Beifeng's burning eyes, Emperor Zhao was completely silent!

Not another word was said.

"So, you don't have to tell me how great and righteous you are. I don't want to hear it, and I can't listen. What's more, you are no longer Emperor Zhaozhao!"

Li Beifeng looked at Emperor Zhao quietly and sneered: "If you weren't still useful, I wouldn't have saved you!"

silence!

A long silence!

Li Beifeng's words seemed to completely shock Emperor Zhao. He looked at Li Beifeng, and his deep eyes fell into silence at this moment.

The temperament and methods of the young man in front of him were beyond his expectations.

Is this the orphan of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the crown prince of the Northern Qi Dynasty? !

The current leader of Northern Qi is also his enemy of Zhao?

Such a powerful enemy made Emperor Zhao uneasy!

It wasn't until a long time later that he raised his head again and stared at Li Beifeng: "I know your purpose. Are you keeping me here to deal with my traitor?"

"That's right!"

Li Beifeng admitted it simply.

"I can cooperate with you!"

Emperor Zhao stared at Li Beifeng with his deep eyes.

"cooperate?"

Li Beifeng glanced at him: "What qualifications do you have to cooperate with me?"

Emperor Zhao was silent for a while and said: "With your ability, even if I am in your hands, it will be difficult to deal with Zhao Jing. But with my help, there is no chance!"

Li Beifeng said nothing, but looked at Emperor Zhao in front of him playfully.

Does he think he is a fool?

Now that Emperor Zhao is in his hands, why should he cooperate with him if he keeps Emperor Zhao's life?

Emperor Zhao looked at Li Beifeng calmly and said in a deep voice: "Now that Dazhao has fallen to such an extent in the hands of my traitorous son, and is in danger, my younger brother is eyeing the throne of the capital. If the throne of Dazhao falls into his hands, I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for you, Northern Qi, to restore your country by then!”

"Whether it is Nizi or Zhao Qi, they are not the most suitable successors to our Dazhao. Once the world is determined, there will be no possibility of peace between them and you, Northern Qi. Can you, Northern Qi, stop me?"

Li Beifeng's eyes were cold.

Of course he knew this.

Both Zhao Jing and Zhao Qi hated Beiqi to the core, and it was absolutely impossible for them to tolerate the existence of Beiqi.

To be precise, no matter who is the ruler of Dazhao, they will never allow Northern Qi to recover.

In the eyes of the people of Jozhao, Beizhou is already Jozhao's territory. Once the Northern Qi Dynasty was restored and Beizhou was ceded, and the people were angry, no ruler would be able to withstand popular opinion.

Therefore, don't look at the happy cooperation between Li Beifeng and Zhao Jing now. Once the Jokhang civil strife ends and the Jokhang court finds time, the first one to deal with will be Northern Qi.

There is no solution to this problem!

Li Beifeng naturally knew this, so his ultimate purpose of coming to the capital of Jozhao this time was to continue the civil strife in Jozhao.

The longer the better!

The best thing is... to split Jokhang!

"Then what do you think I should do?"

Li Beifeng glanced at him and asked.

Emperor Zhao looked at Li Beifeng, his eyes gradually calming down, and he said: "There is actually no deep hatred between my Dazhao and your Northern Qi. Even eighteen years ago, Dazhao destroyed your world in Northern Qi. But for more than ten years, I have always been We are working hard to integrate the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty into the Zhao Dynasty. Intermarrying, relocating the population, unifying the written language and currency..."

"Nowadays, the land of Beizhou is full of my people of Jozhao, and the territory of my Jozhao is also full of your people of Northern Qi. The two countries have actually exchanged their needs and become one family..."

Li Beifeng said nothing, but there was a slight sneer in his eyes.

What Emperor Zhao said is true. Over the past eighteen years, the people of Da Zhao and the people of Northern Qi have indeed communicated with each other. They have gradually integrated due to intermarriage and population migration.

But the problem is, the time is too short!

If this continues for a hundred or so years...even fifty years, two generations may be enough to gradually eliminate the national hatred.

But eighteen years is too short and absolutely impossible!

Did Da Zhao and Bei Qi become a family?

It’s a bit fanciful!

"Now that I am gone, why can't you and I sit down and talk about cooperation?!"

Emperor Zhao looked at Li Beifeng calmly.

"Do you think that's possible?"

Li Beifeng said calmly.

"Why not?"

Li Beifeng said coldly: "How many people of our Northern Qi royal family did you massacre in Da Zhao? In this blood feud, our people of Northern Qi and you, Da Zhao, are at odds with each other!"

"There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests!"

Emperor Zhao sighed softly: "If Northern Qi really wants to restore the country and gain a firm foothold, do you think you can get around Da Zhao?"

"Or? Are you confident that Northern Qi can rival Dazhao?"

Li Beifeng remained silent and stared coldly at Emperor Zhao in front of him.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Of course he knew very well that even though Beiqi's wings were gradually becoming more mature, it was almost impossible to compete with Da Zhao.

Even though Jokhang is now in civil strife, as a unified country, its strength cannot be underestimated.

Northern Qi's attempt to compete with Dazhao was completely wishful thinking.

Right now, for Northern Qi's rapid rise, the person who needs to be thanked the most is probably Zhao Qi!

"I plan to hand over this kingdom of Dazhao to Ying'er!"

Emperor Zhao spoke calmly.

Li Beifeng was shocked and stared at him in disbelief: "What do you mean?"

"Ying'er is the most suitable person to lead Dazhao. Apart from being a daughter, she is my favorite heir! But now, none of this is important..."

Emperor Zhao looked at Li Beifeng calmly: "I want to support her to rise to power!"

Hearing the news, Li Beifeng's heart trembled, still a little unbelievable.

Zhao Ying takes over?

Will she inherit the Jokhang throne?

Queen Jokhang? !

If it had been anyone else, this news might have been a bit shocking, but Li Beifeng was only briefly shocked and quickly calmed down.

He stared at Emperor Zhao and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

What does the change of imperial power in Da Zhao have to do with the crown prince of Northern Qi?

Why did Emperor Zhao mention this to him? !

"Ying'er is the most suitable and the only person who can lead Dazhao. She is different from Zhao Jing and Zhao Qi. Only if she takes the position can we peacefully coexist with you, Northern Qi!"

Emperor Zhao paused for a moment and said: "Perhaps we can put aside the grudges between our two countries and turn the hostility into friendship!"

He looked at Li Beifeng quietly. Judging from Ying'er's reaction just now, Emperor Zhao was keenly aware that the relationship between Ying'er and Li Beifeng was unusual.

Since he is the prince of Northern Qi, why does Ying'er know him so well?

Why could he call Yinger here again?

Emperor Zhao already had some kind of guess in his mind!

Li Beifeng just sneered: "Do you think I believe it?"

Resolve the grievances between the two countries?

It sounds nice, but how can the blood feud between the two countries be resolved?

"Marriage!"

Emperor Zhao looked at Li Beifeng and said slowly: "I can betroth Ying'er to you!"

At this moment, Li Beifeng, who originally had a sneer on his face, was instantly stunned.

The cold evening wind blew in the deep palace.

In autumn, the Jokhang Palace feels a little more desolate.

Perhaps due to the successive defeats in the war ahead, the news spread to the capital and also to the palace.

Countless people in the palace feel uneasy about their fate!

The forbidden land of Zhaozhao.

For several months, the inside and outside of the forbidden area became desolate.

The imperial army that used to guard this place has also disappeared.

A figure dressed in plain white appeared outside the forbidden area, her long snowy skirt swaying gently in the wind, and the green gauze hanging behind her back fluttering gently.

Behind the soft and slender hands, a dignified and noble temperament is instantly revealed.

Three thousand blue hairs were combed and combed behind her back with bamboo hairpins as flowing clouds. A pair of scissor-sharp eyes were as clear as water, and there seemed to be stars twinkling in them. No powder was applied, and her face was facing the sky, but she still looked beautiful.

Her gentle footsteps made a rustling sound on the fallen leaves.

Not long after, she stopped in the courtyard and looked into the room with cold eyes.

The dusty door was slightly closed, as if no one had been there for a long time.

But she could feel the sound of breathing within the wall.

She gently raised her hand and waved her sleeves.

In an instant, a strong gust of wind came out of his sleeves.

"boom!"

The closed door fell apart instantly.

Dust filled the air, and a thin figure could be seen dimly sitting cross-legged on a futon.

He was as skinny as a stick, as if there was not much flesh on his body, his head was lowered, and his withered white hair was messy, as if he hadn't taken care of it for several years.

The violent sound seemed to disturb the old man on the futon.

He made a slight movement and slowly raised his head.

Under the withered white hair, there is an old face, with deep sunken eyes, like two black holes, which looks shocking.

"you again!"

The hoarse voice was like a dying old man, without a trace of strength.

"What are you doing here?!"

Outside the door, the woman in white said in a cold tone: "I want an answer!"

silence!

The old man said: "You haven't found the answer yet?"

She remained silent.

After a long time, she said coldly: "Now our Jokhang Building is about to collapse and there are many crises. As the guardian of my Jokhang, why do you live here so far?!"

"What does Dazhao's life and death have to do with me?"

"Why?"

The old man did not answer this question.

Her voice was particularly cold: "Are you from Zhao Jing?!"

The old man shook his head: "I don't belong to anyone!"

"I'll kill him!"

Her eyes were cold and murderous.

The old man still didn't say anything, but after a long silence, he glanced at her, with a hint of surprise in his expression.

"Your strength seems to have improved a lot compared to the last time we met. Presumably, you are not far away from that step, right?"

However, he soon shook his head.

"The strength is good, but you are still no match for me!"
