Chapter 237 Hongwu meets Xiaoyao
Emperor Xiaokang's face condensed and he said: "Father, you are worried about the danger on the ninth brother's side. This letter is a trap set up by Zhao Kuangyin!"

Emperor Hongwu nodded and said: "Although Lao Jiu has good cultivation, he is still young after all. If he is careless, he may fall into Zhao Kuangyin's scheme!"

Emperor Xiaokang said with a gloomy face: "If this is the case, I'm afraid that Ninth Brother will..."

Emperor Hongwu said: "Biao'er, let's leave for the Song Empire immediately!"

Emperor Xiaokang: "Father! What are you doing?"

Emperor Hongwu: "If what Laojiu said in the letter is true, then Zhao Kuangyin is the founder of the Song Dynasty. In terms of identity, we have to go there in person; if this letter is the plot of Zhao Kuangyin, we have to go even more It’s a trip, Lao Jiutian is a genius, and he must not make any mistakes!”

"Biao'er, you have to be prepared after we leave! If Zhao Kuangyin returns, the imperial army will quickly move north to capture the territory of the Song Dynasty; if Zhao Kuangyin plans, the Northern Expedition army will quickly switch from offense to defense!"

"In addition, when we go north, we will issue a secret edict to summon the prince back! And let Xu Da prepare for it!"

As he said that, Emperor Hongwu narrowed his eyes and said: "The prince is back and will be in charge of the imperial capital. If what Lao Jiu said in his letter is true, we will bring Zhao Kuangyin back to the imperial capital. At that time, the prince and I will stay in the imperial capital, and you will go to the Song Empire in person to take charge of the affairs. Rectify the situation in the Song Dynasty’s territory and prepare for Lao Jiuxi’s entry into the grassland!”

Emperor Xiaokang's eyes turned red and he said, "Father!"

Although Emperor Hongwu didn't say anything, what would happen if this letter was Zhao Kuangyin's plan!You can show filial piety to Emperor Kang's wisdom, but how can you not see the danger!
In fact, whether this letter is true or false, as long as you wait a little longer, you will find out!But neither Emperor Hongwu nor Emperor Xiaokang said this!Because Zhu Qi was so important to the Ming Empire!
In the hearts of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Xiaokang, the Ming Empire can now live without itself, but it cannot live without Zhu Qi!With Zhu Qi's evil talent, as long as Zhu Qi does not die, the Ming Empire will surely stand at the pinnacle of the Chinese continent in the future!
Emperor Hongwu said gently: "Emperor, don't be childish!"

"It may not be a bad thing for us to go. Even if this letter is planned by Zhao Kuangyin, with Lao Jiu's cultivation, Zhao Kuangyin will never be able to kill him! As long as Lao Jiu is fine, Zhao Kuangyin has nothing to worry about!"

Xiaokang's tenth year, November!
Zhu Xiongying, the ambitious prince of the Ming Dynasty, returned to the capital of the Ming Dynasty with reluctance under the command of Emperor Hongwu!
Xu Da, the commander of the three Northern Expedition armies, also received a secret order from Emperor Hongwu!For a time, a tense atmosphere filled the Northern Expedition army!

Great Song Empire.

Aoshan Manor!

"Sharp sword, soft sword, heavy sword, heart sword; little friend, your four realms of swordsmanship are really extraordinary! It's just that the sharp sword, soft sword, and heavy sword are easy to cultivate, but I'm afraid it's hard to master the heart sword!" Xiaoyaozi couldn't bear it. Live sighed!
These days, Xiaoyaozi becomes more and more obsessed with discussing martial arts with Zhu Qi!Although Zhu Qi is young, his understanding of martial arts is truly terrifying!
Zhu Qi smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, be honest with your heart and be honest with your sword! This sword of the heart is difficult to say but easy to say!"

"Sincerity in the heart, sincerity in the sword! Honesty in the heart, sincerity in the sword! Haha! What I said, little friend, is the mystery of martial arts! Wen Dao has a saying of integrity and sincerity, and the same goes for martial arts! Different paths lead to the same goal!" Xiaoyao Ziman said He said with a happy face!
Zhu Qi: "There are three thousand Tao, all going to the same source! Huang Shang, who compiled the Taoist canon in the Song Dynasty, read through thousands of Taoist canons and became a master in one day. This is how it is! In ancient times, those who understood the great way of heaven and earth became a master in one day. There are quite a few sages out there!" Xiaoyaozi said: "I have heard about Huang Shang's story, but I have never looked into it in depth, but I didn't expect that there is great truth hidden in it!"

While the two were talking about martial arts, a powerful energy came from far and near, quickly heading towards Aoshan Manor!

Feeling the tyrannical energy, Xiaoyaozi's expression changed, but his heart felt slightly bitter!I have lived in seclusion in Aoshan for hundreds of years, and it is rare to see such land gods. I did not expect that now, in just a few days, two land gods will come to my door!
Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin) didn't know this qi mechanism, but Zhu Qi was very familiar with it!The person coming is none other than Emperor Hongwu!
A vigorous qi steamed up in the manor, far away from the qi coming from afar!
Sensing Zhu Qi's energy, Emperor Hongwu finally felt relieved!
If Zhu Qi were in trouble, his Qi would never be so harmonious and lively!

Now it seems that what Zhu Qi said in his letter may be true!Putting aside his worries, Emperor Hongwu became more and more curious about how Zhu Qi subdued Zhao Kuangyin, the great ancestor of the Song Dynasty!
"Zhu Qi pays homage to his father!"

As soon as Emperor Hongwu appeared in the courtyard, Zhu Qi came forward to pay his respects!
Emperor Hongwu smiled and pulled Zhu Qi up and said: "You! But you are playing wild outside, and you want us to come find you personally!"

Zhu Qi chuckled and said to Emperor Hongwu: "Father, my son, I have found a great sage for the empire these days!"

With that said, Zhu Qi led Emperor Hongwu to the pavilion and said: "Father, this is Xiaoyaozi, the leader of Xiaoyao Sect. Senior Xiaoyaozi has made great achievements in creation, and he is a master in the land of gods and immortals!"

Regarding the identity of Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin), Zhu Qi had already explained it in his letter. Seeing that Zhu Qi only pointed out the identity of Xiaoyaozi Zhao Kuangyin, Emperor Hongwu also pretended not to know!
"I've seen fellow Taoist, I'm an ignorant kid, I'm disturbing my fellow Taoist!" Emperor Hongwu cooperated very well and gave Xiaoyaozi all the courtesy!
Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin) didn't expect that Emperor Hongwu was actually a warrior in the realm of land gods. He was suddenly shocked and didn't dare to be too big!

"Xiaoyaozi has met fellow Taoist!"

The Ming Empire had only been established for a few decades. Not only did Zhu Qi appear, but even Emperor Hongwu was promoted to a land god!
A father and son from one family, two supreme beings, how terrifying!

How much heritage does the Ming Empire have?
Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin) couldn't help but complain in his heart while returning the gift!
"Father, senior Xiaoyaozi has agreed to serve me as a tribute to the Ming Empire!" Zhu Qi said pretending to be happy!

Emperor Hongwu's eyes lit up and he said: "Oh! My fellow Taoist is willing to join the Ming Empire as a worshipper. What a blessing to the empire!" Emperor Hongwu's acting skills were perfect, as if he had just learned about it, and there was no difference at all!
Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin) knows all about Zhu Qi and Emperor Hongwu's acting!You must know that Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin) was the founding ancestor of the Song Dynasty, and his wisdom was no worse than that of Emperor Hongwu!
However, Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin) didn’t have any ideas!

After all, if Zhao Kuangyin met Emperor Hongwu, the scene would be too embarrassing!The founding emperor of one country surrendered to the founding emperor of another!No one would believe it!
Since meeting Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin), Emperor Hongwu seemed to understand why Xiaoyaozi (Zhao Kuangyin) defected to the Ming Empire!
Today's Xiaoyaozi is really a Taoist master, and he is no longer the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty!
The ethereal energy of Taoism is very strong in Xiaoyaozi. I am afraid that Xiaoyaozi's character is even more indifferent than Zhang Sanfeng!
If Xiaoyaozi hadn't been Zhao Kuangyin, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have been protected by the Song Dynasty royal family, and he would have imitated Fuyaozi Chen Tuan and lived in seclusion in the mountains!

"You kindly invite me, little friend, how dare I refuse!" Xiaoyaozi said with a faint smile, but there was no emotion or anger in it!
