If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 323 Luck Constraints
In fact, the last time the shogunate hired practitioners to assassinate Lan Qier, the whole story had already been found out when Zhu Zhanchun knew about it.

Although the nihilistic monk was chopped into shreds by Zhu Zhanchun's flying sword, his soul was not shredded by the flying sword.

Moreover, for Zhu Zhanjuan, he could deduce the cause and effect of this incident through divination.

At the worst, although there are not many Jin Yiwei on Kyushu Island, they are still able to work and find out the matter.

The reason why Zhu Zhanchun had ignored it before and only asked someone to deal with it a few months later was that this kind of matter did not require him as a dignified prince to handle it personally.

He only needs to express his stance, and without even expressing his stance, the palace officials will cut off the heads of the participants, pickle them with lime, and send them to him. After inspection, they will be hung in the city gate building or in the building. There is dried bacon on the flagpole for the Chinese New Year.

This method of treatment is the so-called beheading in public, because in addition to beheading the criminal, it is also necessary to warn others not to commit the same crime.

The exposure of corpses is undoubtedly a very shocking warning method in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. In particular, the exposure of corpses is a very miserable ending for people in the Chinese Confucian cultural circle who pay attention to a burial.

To put it simply, there is no one to bury the person even if he dies, and there is no peace after death.

This is something that many people in this era are very difficult to accept and very fearful of.

Therefore, in many cases, the court only cut off the head when killing people. The so-called exposure of the body to the public meant hanging it on a flagpole for three days, and then the family members would be allowed to collect the body by default.

This is the origin of the saying that killing someone can only be done with a nod of the head.

After all, if you really wanted to open someone's coffin and slaughter their corpses, you wouldn't do it unless there was a blood feud.

Even if there is a blood feud, it would be enough to kill his whole family. There is no need to dig up all the ancestors' graves.

For those Japanese who dared to assassinate the princess, the deterrent effect of just beheading was not enough. Moreover, due to the special environment of the small island nation, death was not something worth worrying about.

They care neither about the life or death of others nor their own life or death.

From a certain perspective, they even regard those who have died as 'heroes', and while worshiping them, they are even more fearless of death.

Therefore, exposing corpses to the public has become a necessary deterrent method. At least for most ordinary Japanese people, this is a very useful method.

In fact, the officials of the palace did exactly this.

Zuo Changshi found Lan Qier's head guard, and after getting enough information from him, he asked the Kyushu guards to wipe out the local forces on Kyushu Island who participated in the attack on Lan Qier, and killed all his family members and related personnel. Uprooted.

The old samurai who led the team and his family walked neatly, and the whole family on the Huangquan Road was not alone. It can be said that they walked in a very beautiful way.

And his subordinates all felt grateful for the old warrior's kindness in the past. They all made a cross on their stomachs according to the Japanese tradition to express their love and longing for their old master, and went down to accompany him.

But the special envoy of the shogunate managed to escape with his life, and is still on Kyushu Island, hiding here and there.

Zhu Zhanchun was somewhat dissatisfied with Zuo Changshi and the others who had spent several months still not arresting anyone.

Although Kyushu Island is mountainous and there are many islands around it, if you really want to hide, it is normal for you to hide for several months without being able to find anyone. However, there is no definite answer to this matter after several months. The result is still unsatisfactory.

That's why Zhu Zhanjun asked Jin Yiwei to arrest people.

But he didn't pay much attention to this matter. He caught four decent guards and let them go to work.

As for why it was these four, we can only say that the hexagram he made meant that they could catch people and bring back unexpected results for Zhu Zhanyu.

Zhu Zhanjuan showed his expectation for this, so he let them go along with the flow.

Anyway, the hexagram is very auspicious, so it is always a good result.

Lu Jianxing and others who received the mission could not help but complain a little at this time, but it was difficult to disobey the order. They packed their luggage and weapons, put on the official uniforms of the Jin Yiwei and set off.

It was the first time for Ding Xiu to put on the official uniform of Jin Yiwei, so he was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't look like an official in official uniform.

Fortunately, the four of them are not Han generals, so they don't need to pay attention to their appearance and official authority. The official uniforms of the royal guards on them are the best deterrent.

It might be a little worse on Kyushu Island, but if it were in the Ming Dynasty, just the official uniform would be enough to scare people.

In addition, the four of them are now capable of refining Qi, so even if they meet practitioners, they can still deal with them.

And this was also the main reason why Zhu Zhanqi was relieved to let the four of them investigate this matter. After all, if he just sent ordinary Jinyi guards to investigate this matter, if he met a practitioner again, it would be a trivial matter if he didn't catch him. Jin Yiwei will probably never come back from beating the dog with meat buns.As for Zhu Zhanchun, after sending Lu Jianxing and others to work, he no longer paid attention to this matter, but returned his attention to the training of Jin Yiwei and Zheng Fan's army.

Jinyiwei's training camp was chosen on an island off the coast of Fugang. There was a volcano on the seabed not far from the island. Zhu Zhanqi set up a formation here to extract the power of the earth's veins to maintain the consumption of Jinyiwei's training camp.

However, the bulk of the daily consumption of the Jinyiwei training camp is not to provide the spiritual energy for the daily training of these Jinyiwei trainees, but to promote the operation of the formation, use the formation to improve their physical fitness, and train them into Tao soldiers.

With the assistance of the power of earth veins, Zhu Zhanqi no longer needs to use his luck to refine elixirs and medicines as he did when he trained the Jade Guard.

It's just that the power of the earth's veins can only be found in the place where Zhu Zhanquan has arranged the formation. If these Jin Yiwei don't have the help of other unexpected factors, reaching the limit of refining Qi will be their limit.

It is completely impossible for them to break through to the state of practicing Qi and returning to the spirit to form a golden elixir.

If this could be achieved, Dujiaban would not have been unable to break through the deadlock that had lasted nearly a hundred years from the Yuan Dynasty to the present.

Therefore, the cultivation method that Jin Yiwei received was still the Qi Luck cultivation method developed by Zhu Zhanqi, which has been proven to be problem-free and very useful for Hu Shanxiang.

It's just that the luck that these Jin Yiwei use to practice is not their own personal luck, but the Jin Yiwei's luck that they can share through their status as Jin Yiwei.

Of course, this part of the luck is not strong, especially since Jin Yiwei had just experienced the impact of the Ji Gang case, and now it is the time when the luck is declining.

Even though the prince Zhu Zhanquan took over, it was considered that the declining fortunes of Jinyiwei were supported, but it was still not enough to satisfy all the training of Jinyiwei.

So this is also the reason why Zhu Zhanqi clearly has the method of Qi Luck cultivation in his hand, but still wants to extract the power of earth veins.

After all, the spiritual energy transformed by the power of the earth's veins can effectively improve the cultivation of these Jin Yiwei in daily training and practice.

The barracks on Aso Mountain have the same principle and layout, but the person in charge there is Meng Qinglin.

She plans to retrain and build the Jade Guards using dragon secrets, not only to improve their cultivation, but also to upgrade their equipment.

The original Qingyu Guards were Tao soldiers that Zhu Zhanyu created with the help of his own luck. Their cultivation was closely related to his luck.

It can be said that the stronger Zhu Zhanquan's luck is, the stronger the Qingyu Guard's cultivation will be.

The strength of the Qingyu Guard will also drive Zhu Zhanyu's fortune to rise, which can be said to be a mutually beneficial thing.

Previously, the Qing Jade Guard fought fiercely in Mobei, and after helping Zhu Zhanquan kill the generals and capture the flag to win the battle, his fortune has been significantly improved, and at the same time, a number of people in the Qing Jade Guard have reached the level of refinement. Thousand households in Qi realm.

The Qing Jade Guard's cultivation is affected by luck. The higher the military rank, the more luck they can get. Naturally, their cultivation will also increase accordingly.

It's just that this kind of cultivation that relies on luck is not their true level. Once they leave the Jade Guard and lose the luck blessing brought by the official position of the Jade Guard, their cultivation will plummet.

Of course, if someone is ruthless enough to use his luck to practice, his cultivation will not decline too much without the luck blessing brought by his official position.

And if they just retire at a normal age, they will only have to bear the decline in cultivation after losing the blessing of luck, and will not suffer the backlash.

But if it is the kind of person who is declared a traitor or dismissed from office, the impact of the backlash of luck will be serious. It is not uncommon for the unlucky ones to lose their cultivation.

This can be regarded as Zhu Zhanqi's control over Jinyiwei itself. After all, things like Ji Gang had just happened before, and there was still no practitioner involved.

If there are practitioners involved, if someone is thinking about plotting to usurp the throne, there must be means to restrain it.

Similarly, this is also the key to Zhu Zhanyu's courage to let go of training the Kyushu Guards.

Most of the soldiers of the Kyushu Guard are Japanese natives of Kyushu Island, and only some of them are the family members of the Qingyu Guards who moved from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty to Zhu Zhanquan.

Although the Kyushu Guards had followed Zhu Zhanquan to Northern Xinjiang and proved their loyalty during the Northern Expedition, there were still some Japanese who only superficially surrendered.

Coupled with some of the scandalous things this nation has done in later generations, Zhu Zhanquan instinctively distrusted them, so there was no lack of restraints.

In this way, Zhu Zhanjun can cultivate them with confidence and make them a powerful force in his hands.

After all, the Qingyu Guard only has one guard, the Tianjin Guard only has three guards, and the Kyushu Guard has six guards.
