Zongwu: More sons and more blessings, starting with Jiang Yuyan

Chapter 279
"Hong Ling, do you know that if you hadn't come this time, I would definitely refuse without hesitation."

Cao Chengzhi seriously put down the teacup in his hand: "Since you have spoken in person, for the people of Liming and for the stability of Ming Dynasty, I can agree to take action."

Zhan Hongling smiled: "Great!"

"However, I have one condition!"

Cao Chengzhi continued: "I always want to help those martial arts fellows who follow me. In the past, Hulong Villa suppressed martial arts, but now Zhu ignores the rebellion. Hulong Villa exists in name only. I want the seat of the owner of Hulong Villa!"

"From now on, I will be the new Marquis of the Martial Arts. I can only be responsible for monitoring the Wulin. No matter whether it is the East Factory or the West Factory, no one can interfere in the affairs of the Wulin."

When Zhan Hongling heard this, her complexion changed, and she lost her voice: "This is impossible!"

"The location of Hulong Villa is so important. It can be said that it is the last barrier to defend the capital. His Majesty will never hand it over to an outsider. Also, if a chivalrous man uses martial arts to violate the ban, His Majesty will never allow martial arts to be so detached from his control."

Cao Chengzhi shook his head: "I can't do it in vain. Besides, rules are meant to be broken. Now that the emperor is employing people, I believe he will make concessions."

"No, if His Majesty agrees to you, I'm afraid you will become the second Marquis in a short time. Your Majesty will not allow such a thing that threatens the stability of the country to happen."

"Since this is the case, I can take a step back. What do you think is the bottom line that the emperor and I can accept?"

Zhan Hongling thought for a while, and said seriously: "The matter of monitoring martial arts can be entrusted to you and me, and the East and West factories are responsible, what do you think?"

"You also know the relationship between our six doors and you. We have always stood by your side. At the same time, under your pressure, the East Factory and the West Factory have been unable to make any troubles. This condition can be regarded as an opportunity for His Majesty. Down the steps."

Cao Chengzhi readily agreed: "Yes."

"As for the Hulong Villa, I'm afraid there is no chance. You know that his position is too critical. It can be said that it is a battleground for military strategists. If you are allowed to take over the Hulong Villa, I am afraid that His Majesty will have trouble sleeping and eating."

Naturally, Cao Chengzhi also knew about this, and raising this condition was nothing more than a lion's mouth in order to bargain:

"I don't need Hulong Villa, but I want status, the status of a prince and the corresponding fiefdom."

Zhan Hongling was taken aback: "What? You want to crack the earth and seal the king?"

"You can think about it, with my current status in the world, I am probably no weaker than a prince. I really don't take the status of a prince seriously. What I want is just an attitude from the emperor. "

"On the other hand, just putting down Zhu Wushi's rebellion, this achievement is probably worthy of a prince's reward, right?"

"I believe the emperor will agree to my request."

Zhan Hongling pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "I will try to convey it to His Majesty, and try my best to meet your request."

"Thank you!"

Zhan Hongling left, and left with Cao Chengzhi's request, and the rest depends on what step Zhu Houzhao can do.

Jiang Yuyan came out and looked at Cao Chengzhi with a smile on her face: "For others, this princely position seems to be a step up to the sky, but as brother Chengzhi, I am afraid that he has wronged brother Chengzhi."

"It's enough to have this name. Today's Ming Dynasty is not just Zhu Wuli, a restless person. As long as we have the title of prince, it will be much more convenient for us to do whatever we do in the future."

"Oh? Is there anyone else who wants to rebel?"

Cao Chengzhi nodded: "The king of Nanping has long been unwilling to be a minister. Now that Zhu Wushi has raised the flag first, I am afraid that the plan of the king of Nanping will soon be implemented."

"So, that's interesting..."

……

In the end, under Zhan Hongling's needlework, Zhu Houzhao agreed to Cao Chengzhi's request, and made Cao Chengzhi the king of Cao, and Yichang City was his territory, enjoying the right to supervise the martial arts.

In fact, in Yichang City at this moment, except that it is not Cao Chengzhi's in name, officials large and small have long been infiltrated by the Cao Mansion, and in fact they have long been under Cao Chengzhi's control.

That's why Zhu Houzhao agreed so easily. For him, he just paid in the name of a prince, and he didn't pay anything in fact.

What Zhu Houzhao is most concerned about now is when will Zhu Wushi be completely resolved. Ever since he heard that Zhu Wushi attacked Cao's mansion and caused an earthquake like a natural disaster, Zhu Houzhao has had trouble sleeping and eating.

Even if the anti-rebel army wiped out Zhu Wushi's army, he would not be able to leave Zhu Wushi behind. At that time, Zhu Wushi would directly act as an assassin, would he still survive?

Today, Zhu Houzhao is like crazy and wants to find a great master to protect him. For this reason, both the east and west factories are operating at full capacity, searching the world, trying to find the great master, even outside the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that great masters are so rare, even if the East and West factories searched at all costs, they still haven't found the slightest clue.

……

At the border, the anti-rebel forces responded by princes and princes from all walks of life finally gathered together and started a big battle with the ten generals.

Unexpectedly, it was not some well-known general who commanded the suppression of the rebel army, but the King of Nanping!
No one expected that the originally low-key King Nanping commanded the army to fight, and he was actually stronger than any general.

The top ten generals teamed up and retreated steadily under the attack of Nanping King. It can be said that they were defeated.

The battle turned out to be one-sided!

At this moment, Cao Chengzhi led many people from all corners of the country to sneak into Zhu Wushi's 'Imperial Palace'.

Knowing that Cao Chengzhi has become a prince, these people from all corners of the country worked even harder. Without waiting for Cao Chengzhi's order, they went to the palace guards one after another, fought with them, and opened a bloody path for Cao Chengzhi.

Several great masters headed by Cao Chengzhi, together with many master-level powerhouses, came to the 'Golden Palace' in such a swaggering manner.

"boom!"

The door of Jinluan Palace was kicked open. Unexpectedly, it was not filled with masters waiting for everyone to arrive. Instead, there was only Zhu Wuli, wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair.

When Zhu Wuwu saw the arrival of Cao Chengzhi and others, he said without joy or sorrow: "You are here."

Cao Chengzhi frowned. The situation in front of him was completely different from what he had imagined. Especially, Zhu ignored the white hair on his sideburns, making him look so sad, like a hero at the end of his life.

After a long time, Cao Chengzhi still nodded: "I'm here."

"Where is Jue Wushen? Where is the little old man? Why are you alone?"

Zhu Wuwu smiled slightly: "Haha, they are all gone. The battle in Cao Mansion has frightened them. They no longer have the courage to face you."

Hearing Zhu Wushi's words, everyone laughed out loud and said:
"Haha, congratulations to King Cao, even a great master would be frightened to see King Cao!"

"That's right, King Cao will rule the world forever, who dares to stop him?"

"King Cao is invincible!"

Cao Chengzhi looked weird. How could this happen?
How could the little old man run away without a fight?
There are even more unknown masters among the invisible people. If we really bring all the masters here, the outcome is still uncertain.

As for Juewushen Wushenjuegong, at least there is the great master Pojun, and one hundred thousand ghosts and Rakshasas. How could this kind of power admit defeat?
Moreover, they should be able to figure out that Yuyan has no combat power at this moment because of her pregnancy, one more Grandmaster over there, one less Grandmaster here, is enough to affect the battle situation.

"What happened? Do you know the true strength of the invisible man and Wushenjuegong?"

Ignoring any change in his expression, Zhu just said casually: "It seems that the Invisible Man and Wushenjue Palace still have hidden powers, and they are also extremely powerful, but these are none of my business."

"If Suxin is lost, so will my soul. Now that I have ascended to the Palace of Great Treasures, my dream in this life has come true, and I have no more nostalgia for the world."

"What? Su Xin lost?"

Cao Chengzhi's complexion changed, and he couldn't help taking a sneak peek at Cheng Shifei beside him. Fortunately, Cheng Shifei didn't know that Suxin was his biological mother at the moment, so he didn't respond, but had a puzzled expression on his face, obviously he didn't know Suxin who is it.

Seeing Zhu Wushi nodding, Cao Chengzhi couldn't help asking, "How did she lose it? Do you have any clues?"

"Why do you care so much about Su Xin?"

Seeing Zhu ignoring the hero's twilight, Cao Chengzhi thought for a while, but didn't hide it from him: "Suxin has a son who is my best friend, so I naturally want to care about her!"

"What? Su Xin actually has a son?"

Zhu Wushi only felt that the world was spinning at this moment, his head was full of green, and the original expression of wanting nothing, finally couldn't hold on:

"Whose child is it?"

Cao Chengzhi took a deep look at him: "You should already be clear, why bother to ask?"

"Yes...is it him?"

Zhu ignores the ups and downs in her heart, Su Xin has never been a casual woman, so there is only one person to be the father of the child...

"That's right, the undefeated naughty boy Gu Santong!"

"Ancient Tee!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words. This long-lost name has aroused countless memories of everyone.

In particular, Cheng Shifei even exclaimed: "My master?"

"Who is Su Xin? She actually has a child with my master?"

Cao Chengzhi didn't answer the question of right and wrong, but made a gesture of calmness and don't be impatient, and looked at Zhu Wushi: "Su Xin, how did you lose it?"

"Ancient three links! Ancient three links! Ancient three links!"

And Zhu ignored it as if he hadn't heard Cao Chengzhi's words, he roared three times, each more angry than the last, and bloodshot eyes appeared involuntarily:
"Why, I have never defeated you in my whole life! I won't give in, I won't give in!"

"what……"

Thousands of years of internal force erupted, and the Golden Luan Palace couldn't bear this force, and was bombarded by Zhu Wu's internal force and collapsed.

Fortunately, with a wave of Nanhai Shenni's right hand, an invisible light curtain blocked the internal force, and everyone sensed the huge gap between the two sides, and retreated one after another.

Yan Nantian took a step forward, swung the divine sword in his hand, and drew a bright sword light, cleaning up the ruins of the Jinluan Palace, and looked at Zhu Wuwu coldly.

"Did you think about this day when you sneaked up on me?"

With a flash of red shadow, Dongfang Bubai came behind Zhu Wushi, blocking his retreat.

Upon seeing this, Cao Chengzhi also moved to the left of Zhu Wuwu. In just a moment, Zhu Wuwu was surrounded by four people.

However, at this moment, Zhu Wushi looked like a madman, and he didn't seem to care at all. He just shouted with red eyes: "Death, death, death! I am not reconciled! I want this world to be buried with me!"

Countless dragon shadows emerged, majesticly bombarding them in all directions.

The people who had already left the ruins of the Jinluan Temple were all terrified. Even though they were so far away from the dragon shadow, everyone felt a heart-stopping pressure, as if any one of them could blow themselves into slag. .

However, for the four great masters on the field, this dragon shadow is no threat at all.

At this moment, Zhu Wushi was like a lunatic. Although his internal strength was strong, he was disorderly. The dragon shadow was flying wildly without any purpose, which caused him to fail to display all of his strength.

With a wave of Yitian Sword in Cao Chengzhi's hand, it was as if the sword world had descended, and thousands of sword qi emerged, and this space instantly turned into the domain of swords.

I saw Cao Chengzhi shouted:
"Namo Gatling Bodhisattva, thousands of sword qi condense into rain, [-] revolutions in one breath, save the world with great mercy!"

Under Cao Chengzhi's thoughts, thousands of sword qi were shot at Zhu Wushi like a rain of swords, and Long Ying was shot full of holes in an instant.

Even Zhu Wuwang, under the baptism of thousands of sword energies, his protective Gang Qi was broken after a moment, and countless scars appeared, making him look like a bloody man in an instant.

It can be seen that Zhu Wushi at this moment is obviously crazy, and he can't even display all of his strength.

"Divine Sword Art!"

Yan Nantian slashed out with the same move of the Divine Sword Jue. When he was in the Cao Mansion, there was no Divine Sword Jue that could cause any harm to Zhu Wushi. At this moment, it was as if the sword god had descended. It was so powerful that it was directly on Zhu Wushi's chest. Draw a deep visible bone scar.

Seeing that Zhu Wushi couldn't live anymore.

"puff……"

A mouthful of blood spewed out, and Zhu Wushi's aura instantly weakened.

"Oh, poor lover..."

Nanhai Shenni sighed softly, and pointed out several fingers in a row. The strange fingering blocked Zhu Wushi's body several big points one after another, and Zhu Wushi's red eyes finally calmed down.

Feeling his own injury, Zhu Wushi laughed bitterly: "Is this my fate..."

Cao Chengzhi came to Zhu Wushi and said, "How did Su Xin lose it? I can promise you to find her back. Moreover, I know the whereabouts of Tianxiang Cardamom in the third lesson."

Hearing Cao Chengzhi's words, Zhu Wushi finally regained his spirit: "I believe in you."

He tremblingly took out two Tianxiang cardamoms from his bosom: "These are the two Tianxiang cardamoms I found. Unfortunately, I didn't make up my mind to convince Su Xin, so I was forced to rebel in advance."

"During the battle of the Cao Mansion, Su Xin disappeared. I investigated everything, but found no clues. No one died in the entire palace, but Su Xin disappeared. ..."
