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

Chapter 344
After finishing the communication with his father, Zhu Zhanqun turned off the water mirror, handed his daughter over to the nanny and wet nurse who were waiting on the side, and then got up and left the study.

Arriving at a side hall, several thousand households from Jinyiwei had been waiting here for a long time.

After several months of training, with Zhu Zhanqun's various elixirs and spiritual stones at hand, as well as the blessing of luck, these Jinyi guards have basically completed the practice of cultivating Qi into the body, and most of them are above the hundred official level. Entering the stage of refining Qi.

These Qianhu households have Zhu Zhanqun's personal guidance, and their cultivation has gone further. Although they have not gone through foundation building, they have also begun further cultivation.

Although it is impossible to break through the golden elixir realm of practicing Qi Huishen without going through foundation building, but in today's era when spiritual energy is exhausted and the path of spiritual practice is cut off, a master who has formed the golden elixir and is able to achieve the realm of Qi Huishen. Therefore, Zhu Zhanjun did not intend to cultivate higher-level practitioners.

It is like that among his Qingyu Guards, several thousand families have basically reached the threshold of practicing Qi and returning to the spirit. Among the general banner officials under his command, there are also some amazing and talented people who have reached the same level, but Zhu Zhanquan and Meng Qing Lin did not intend to teach them the foundation building method, but only taught them a method that could forcibly form pills to enter the realm of practicing Qi to return to the spirit.

As for Jin Yiwei, the treatment is naturally the same.

In addition to manpower control and political considerations, Zhu Zhanqi also had another major reason for doing this, which was that the higher the level of the practitioner, the greater the demand for spiritual energy.

Nowadays, those with the highest cultivation levels in the Jade Guard and Jinyi Guard have begun to consume spiritual stones to maintain their cultivation. If cultivators with higher realms are cultivated, the demand for spiritual stones and spiritual energy will also rise sharply.

This is still unaffordable for today's Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the level and level of strength of the Qingyu Guards and Jinyi Guards are the most suitable at the moment.

Neither will one be unable to cope with certain situations because of insufficient cultivation, nor will there be a lack of aura to maintain one's cultivation because one's cultivation has broken through the realm.

"Assemble all the masters of Qi refining realm in Jinyiwei and prepare to go on an errand with Gu." Zhu Zhanjuan directly issued the order to several Qianhu.

Now that he still holds the seal of the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he can naturally give them direct orders.

Of course, several Qianhu didn't resist at all. After receiving the order, one of the Qianhu who seemed to be the leader asked Zhu Zhanjuan: "May I ask the prince, what kind of errand is this? What preparations are needed?" "

The masters of refining Qi are already the highest level that Jinyiwei can produce nowadays, and even a few of them are only at this level.

It can be said that this part of the manpower is already the essence of the re-established Jinyiwei. Now Zhu Zhanqi wants to summon all the people who can refine Qi. Naturally, these Qianhu households need to ask clearly to avoid any mistakes. For Jinyiwei That's a huge loss.

Zhu Zhanqi naturally understands this. Although experts at the level of refining and transforming Qi can be easily trained in batches for him who has now recovered his cultivation level, after all, he wants to train such a batch of suitable ones. Manpower also requires time and resources, so it’s better not to waste it if you can.

Not to mention, when you take people out on errands, you always need to let them know what errands they are going to do and what preparations are needed.

So he didn't hide it and said directly to several Qianhu: "Do you still remember that I asked a Baihu named Lu Jianxing to investigate the assassination of the princess? A few days ago, this Lu Baihu sent back the news, saying that he had found it. In the body of a big shot in the shogunate army, there is a god enshrined in the family of that big shot, a god who can manifest his holiness.

Not only that, according to the information found by Lu Jianxing and others, the Japanese protoss has always been behind the shogunate. This is one of the main reasons why King Ning and the three kings of Liaodong on Honshu Island have been unable to attack for a long time.

The Japanese kings of the Northern Dynasties and important figures in the shogunate all know the secret behind this. I am also very interested in this, so I plan to take you to Honshu Island to find out what is going on behind this. "

Hearing what Zhu Zhanjuan said, the faces of several Qianhu households looked a little unhappy.

Although their cultivation has greatly improved now, although each of them dare not say that one ride can equal a thousand, they can still fight one against a hundred.

But if facing a real army and gods, this still makes people feel a little unsure.

But in the face of the prince's order, they did not have the qualifications and confidence to disobey and disrespect the order, especially since the Jin Yiwei was reorganized due to problems with the previous commander. It was the time for them to work with their heads in the air.

At this time, you have to go on a mission even if you know it is a fatal mission, not to mention you just don’t have the confidence?

Their bad expressions were simply because they were worried that their subordinates would lose all the money they had saved so well, making Jin Yiwei even more depressed in the future.

Of course Zhu Zhanjun noticed this, and then said: "According to the news from Lu Baihu, the strength of those so-called gods is only average, about the level of refining Qi. You may be able to deal with them one-on-one. A certain degree of difficulty, but not invincible.”

"I understand that I will die loyally to the imperial court!" When several thousand households heard what Zhu Zhanquan said, they immediately felt relieved and hurriedly expressed their loyalty to him.

Regarding such words of loyalty, Zhu Zhanquan dismissed them as nonsense and just waved his hands and said: "The loyal court does not look at what you say, but at what you do! No need to hang around here, everyone goes. Gather your subordinates and set off once everyone is gathered."

"Yes!" Several Qianhu didn't dare to neglect. After accepting the order with clasped fists, they immediately left the palace and went to summon their subordinates.

Watching these Qianhu leave, Meng Qinglin, who had been standing behind the curtain, walked out, came to Zhu Zhankun and asked him: "Are you attracted to the Japanese gods?"

"Yes, a clan of gods, although they are just some incense gods, if they can all be killed, it will definitely be of great benefit to the improvement of the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty and the establishment of the incense gods of the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that after killing them, the problem of the Japanese country will be solved. It's not a problem anymore." Zhu Zhanquan did not hide his thoughts in front of Meng Qinglin. After giving a simple explanation to Meng Qinglin, he asked: "So do you want to go together?" "I won't go, I think a Japanese protoss won't be difficult for you to deal with." Meng Qinglin shook his head, as if he was not interested in this.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhanyu didn't think anything was wrong, he just nodded, then held Meng Qinglin's Rouyi, smiled at her and said: "I heard that the Japanese protoss has the so-called three artifacts, I will give them to them if I find them." You bring it back, there is a mirror in it, it would be good for you to use it as a dressing mirror."

"I don't care about mere external things." Meng Qinglin just smiled at this, and then put her palm on Zhu Zhancheng's chest: "But I like everything you give me."

Hearing what Meng Qinglin said, Zhu Zhanquan hugged her and gave her a peck on the face, which made Meng Qinglin burst into tears...

------------------

On the other side, Lu Jianxing and others have finally recovered from their injuries, have recovered to most of their condition, and are discussing the next action plan.

"There has been news from Kyushu Island that His Royal Highness Prince Zheng is very interested in the Japanese gods. In the near future, he will lead all the masters of the Jin Yiwei to refine and refine Qi. They are ready to completely eliminate all the gods of Japan in one fell swoop." Shen Lian told the others. The three of them explained the news they had just received.

Although the injuries of the four of them are now almost healed, in order to avoid being discovered like last time, Shen Lian was the only one walking outside. He did all the work such as inquiring about news and purchasing supplies by himself.

As for the contact with Kyushu Island, he naturally had to rely on himself to contact the nearby Jinyiwei hidden stake.

"The prince is coming? This is too risky, isn't it? Didn't some of the Qianhu adults give me some advice?" When Lu Jianxing heard that Prince Zheng was coming in person, he suddenly showed a worried expression on his face.

However, Ding Xiu on the side said: "Ha! What a huge battle! Of all the masters in the realm of refining Qi in Jinyiwei, there are probably NO.80 people in a hundred, right? They went directly to the shogunate's lair and slaughtered them all. Enough is enough, this prince is very ambitious!"

Ding Xiu could see through things, and so could everyone else. They could all see that Zhu Zhanquan's large-scale battle was not just to deal with the Japanese gods, but was also intended to wipe out the shogunate rebels in one fell swoop. solve.

Although they have been hiding these days, Shen Lian has been outside to inquire about information and let them know that the reason why the shogunate army was able to withstand the attacks of the elite soldiers and generals under the four vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty for so long was due to some objective factors in the battle situation. , the main reason is that these Japanese gods blocked the army's attack.

This resulted in several armies being unable to attack important cities controlled by the shogunate for a long time.

"But it's really strange. A small country like Japan has gods protecting its cities and practitioners walking around the world. Why don't we have these in the Ming Dynasty?" Ding Xiu on the side said something broken again, but he got it right. In the hearts of the three brothers.

Although they have always been disliked, they still know the information that Jin Yiwei should know.

The three brothers naturally knew that before the few years when King Zheng was active in the Ming Dynasty, there were no divine manifestations or practitioners walking around.

Of course, the latter may be something they don't know.

After all, the sects of Jin Yichuan and Ding Xiu both have cultivation methods that can allow their cultivation to break through to the realm of refining Qi. There is no reason why those famous sects and Buddhist and Taoist sects cannot have this ability.

It can't be said that Jin Yichuan and Ding Xiu are from special sects, so they have the inheritance of cultivation methods. Other famous sects are just fake, but they are just ordinary sects despite their great achievements, right?
"I have heard about this. It is said that Mr. Liu Bowen of Qingtian cut off the dragon vein of our Ming Dynasty and cut off the path of cultivation, which made the world what it is now. In the past, our Ming Dynasty also had gods and practitioners. "Lu Jianxing is older after all, and he still has some understanding of these secrets. However, after he talked about some rumors he had heard, he brought the topic back to the topic: "His Royal Highness Prince Zheng came here in person this time, just in case someone takes advantage of the opportunity. Assassinating the prince, I don’t know how much trouble it will cause!”

"My Lord Baihu, don't be so vain. His Highness Prince Zheng is a fierce general who rides into battle alone in Northern Xinjiang and can capture enemy chieftains alive on the battlefield. Do you want to hurt him with this kind of assassination? Unless it's... The imperial guards around him are just like nothing. Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about how to perform well in front of the prince and strive to get more credit!" Ding Xiu acted very unconcerned. He was originally doing this without any foundation. As a businessman, he knew very well how difficult it was to assassinate such a fierce general on the battlefield.

Therefore, he was not worried about Prince Zheng's safety at all. He was just thinking about how to perform well in front of the prince and gain more credit and benefits for himself.

"I think what Ding Xiu said is reasonable. The prince's safety is not something we should worry about. Several thousand households must be more concerned about it than us." Shen Lian stood by Ding Xiu at this time and persuaded his eldest brother: "Brother, let's put together the plan we made before. We should find a way to lure the big shot of the shogunate out before the prince and the others come. It would be a great achievement to capture him and present him to the prince!"

Shen Lian's words immediately gained the support of Ding Xiu. He was very enthusiastic about meritorious service. The reason why Ding Xiu agreed to Lu Jianxing's joining Jin Yiwei was to obtain cultivation resources from Jin Yiwei.

Making meritorious deeds, and making great merit, is undoubtedly the best way to earn resources for cultivation.

And right in front of them, there is a great achievement waiting for them to obtain it.

Lu Jianxing couldn't help but hesitate for a while when Shen Lian said this, and Ding Xiu was provoking him. Finally, he decided to settle the matter before King Zheng arrived and offer a big gift to His Highness King Zheng.

"In this case, we must act as soon as possible. It is not far from Kyushu Island. Even if Prince Zheng's horse and carriage are slow, there will not be much time left for us." Now that he has made up his mind, Lu Jianxing is not a loser. He had a sloppy temper, so he immediately worked with his two brothers and Ding Xiu to figure out how to lure out the big shot in the shogunate.

"I have been inquiring around for news these days, and I learned that there are several Zhuangzi nearby who have complained a lot about the shogunate and have the tendency to engage in Tu Yikui. If we contact them as Jinyiwei, we promise that as long as they are willing to help, they can get With Ming's recognition and support, they must be willing to be the bait to help lure out the big shot in the shogunate." Shen Lian was the first to speak and put forward a suggestion that seemed feasible.

Although Lu Jianxing was worried about this, he didn't care much at this time, so he said to Shen Lian: "Okay, second brother, please contact the village leaders. As long as they are willing to help, I am willing to express my merits to the prince for them! As long as we succeed this time, we brothers will be able to prosper in the future!"
