Dominate the Heavens: Starting from the Foreign History of Wulin

Chapter 363 The Successor of the Destiny Cult

Lu Ye looked at the two people in front of him calmly.

The younger one was only fifteen or sixteen years old and looked like a child. The man standing next to him was about twenty years old, with a very sturdy physique. He exuded an extraordinary aura from head to toe. One could tell at a glance that he was someone who was not easy to mess with.

The childish boy said, "Brother Huo, have you heard the rumor that the emperor intends to marry Prince Weiyi's daughter to the crown prince Zhu Yunwen?"

"Huh, more than just heard of it?"

The imposing young man said with disdain, "After the morning court session this morning, the emperor asked Nie Qingtong, the eunuch who holds the pen of the Imperial Household Department, to personally summon the crown prince Zhu Yunwen and Prince Weiyi to the imperial study and told them about the marriage proposal for Yunwen."

(Note: The author has no historical background, and the characters that appear are all existing characters in the novel!)
"Humph!"

The man said, "Who is Prince Weiyi? He fought in many battles in the south and the north and assisted the emperor in establishing the Ming Dynasty. Ninety-nine percent of the military are Prince Weiyi's students and former officials, and his martial arts skills are unfathomable. Even the emperor has to be respectful when he sees Prince Weiyi and regards him as a veteran of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor wants to ask for marriage for Zhu Yunwen. It can be said that his wishful thinking is obvious!"

"The emperor has most likely chosen Zhu Yunwen as the successor to the Ming Dynasty royal family. He is so short-sighted and stupid!"

The young man did not react at all to the person beside him directly scolding Zhu Yuanzhang for being stupid. Instead, he said in shock, "Did Zhu Yuanzhang really issue an order for Zhu Yunwen to marry the prince's daughter?"

Why do young people react this way?
The reason is very simple.

The so-called King Weiyi is not a real historical figure, but an outstanding master portrayed in the novel.

He is the leader of the Ghost King's Mansion, one of the three most famous evil dens in the martial arts world, the Ghost King Xu Ruowu.

At this moment, there were two women in the capital who were famous throughout the country.

The former is Xu Yeyue, the daughter of the Ghost King Xu Ruowu. As the saying goes, light returns to the sun and the moon, darkness returns to the void, so she is called Xu Yeyue.

Xu Yeyue is as her name suggests, like a bright moon in the sky, with a graceful figure and white clothes as white as snow, she is so beautiful that it is beyond description.

The latter is Zhuang Qingshuang, the only daughter of Nine-Fingered Piaoxiang Zhuang Jie, the leader of the Xining Sect, which ranks first in comprehensive strength among the eight righteous sects.

In ancient times, there was a goddess of frost, who liked to wear green clothes. She was as cold as ice and as proud as a winter plum!

Zhuang Qingshuang was like the goddess in the legend, as white as ice and jade, with icy skin and bones, like a cold plum blossom in the ice and snow, with a bone texture that was indescribable.

From ancient times to the present, in the capital city where the powerful and wealthy gather, what could be more attractive than a peerless beauty?

Therefore, all the high-ranking officials and young scholars in Yingtian City have extraordinary fantasies about the two!

The young man was inevitably shocked to hear that one of the two girls might get married.

however.

The magnanimous elder brother Huo said nonchalantly: "Brother Jing, don't worry. Although the princess will eventually marry, it will never be Zhu Yunwen!"

"what?"

Little Brother Jing said in disbelief: "This should be impossible. The emperor personally made the decision to propose marriage. Is there anyone in the world who can refuse?"

"hehe!"

Brother Huo sneered and said, "If it were someone else, they might not be qualified to refuse, but King Wei Yi is one of the people who can refuse!"

Brother Huo said, "When the emperor made such an absurd proposal, Prince Weiyi immediately rejected it without hesitation and told the emperor that his daughter Xu Yeyue was born with a charming body. Although she looked beautiful, ordinary men could never resist her. If Zhu Yunwen forced Xu Yeyue to marry him, she would die within three years."

"Of course this is a cover-up!"

Brother Huo said, "Everyone in the capital knows that Prince Weiyi is famous for his physiognomy. He has looked at the Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen and Prince of Yan Zhu Di successively and believed that the Crown Prince would die young and was not suitable to be the emperor. The throne should be passed to Prince of Yan. However, the emperor suspected that Prince Weiyi had spoken to Prince of Yan privately, so he insisted on supporting Yunwen's immature son. Haha, he refused to listen to Prince Weiyi's advice and even wanted to marry Prince Weiyi's daughter. He even wanted the prince to support him. Haha, are they dreaming?"

……

The two young men had no scruples and their voices went straight into the ears of people around them. Not only Lu Ye heard it clearly, but even Qi Tai, the head of the Ministry of War who was following him, heard it clearly.

however.

Unexpectedly, these people were discussing the important issue of royal succession so much, and openly supported Prince Yan, while showing disdain for the Crown Prince. However, Qi Tai merely showed anger and seemed completely helpless.

Lu Ye had a strange look on his face.

Qi Tai explained: "Brother Lu, do you know who the two people who were talking just now are?"

Lu Ye smiled and said, "One after another, they call Zhu Yuanzhang stupid, and one after another, they call Zhu Yunwen immature. In such a big capital, I'm afraid that apart from the Ghost King's Mansion, no one else has such strength!"

Qi Tai was shocked and said, "The capital is an important place, and the Jinyiwei are densely deployed. We cannot mention the emperor's name directly!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Lu Ye said nonchalantly: "The Jinyiwei can't do anything to me. In this world of ups and downs, strength is everything. I have peerless martial arts, so I can do whatever I want. Isn't the Ghost King Xu Ruowu the same?"

When Qi Tai heard this, he could only smile bitterly and took Lu Ye to a deserted place.

Qi Tai said, "Brother Lu's guess is spot on. That little brother Jing's real name is Jing Huan. His father, Jing Chengleng, is nicknamed Little Ghost King. He is actually a disciple of Ghost King Xu Ruowu. Because Xu Ruowu was given the title of Mighty and Righteous King, all his disciples call Xu Ruowu Mighty and Righteous King. Only in private... I'm afraid even in private, they rarely call him Master or something like that."

"As for that big brother Huo, he is even more incredible. The Ghost King's Palace has four generals and four little ghosts. The little ghost king Jing Chengleng is one of the four generals, and the evil lawyer Huo Yulei is one of the four little ghosts. These two people can be regarded as the core figures of the Ghost King's Palace. They can ignore the emperor's face and spread rumors about the crown prince in private!"

Lu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Zhu Yuanzhang just proposed a marriage this morning, and these two people are discussing it in public. I think they are trying to pass on the message to prevent Zhu Yuanzhang and his grandson from getting Xu Yeyue's attention. Their rejection is obvious!"

"If Mr. Lu's prediction is correct, it won't be long before Zhu Yuanzhang will send someone to visit and stop the rumors. At the same time, he will also stop Zhu Yunwen from thinking of marrying Xu Yeyue."

"What a void!"

Lu Ye said coldly: "You are spoiled by your favor and you are proud of your achievements. You think you are nothing and act recklessly like this!"

need to know.

Xu Ruowu and Zhu Yuanzhang were originally close friends.

The two people fell out because of two things.

The first thing was to decide on the capital. Xu Ruowu was well versed in Feng Shui, and after surveying the Feng Shui of the Ming Dynasty, he chose Shuntian Prefecture, which was where the Prince of Yan was currently in charge.

however.

Zhu Yuanzhang refused. He believed that although Mongolia had been expelled, the foreign countries, fearing the invasion of Ming Dynasty, had united as one to form an alliance. They shared the same hatred of the enemy and established their capital in the north. If he was there, it would certainly be foolproof. However, if a later successor took over, it would only take one setback in the northern capital to shake the foundation of the country.

On the contrary, it was Nanjing in the south. At this time, the south was becoming increasingly prosperous. The money and grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang alone could support the whole world. If one controlled Nanjing, all the money in the world would be in one's hands.

Even if our descendants are incompetent, losing once or twice is nothing. They can always fight back with their advantages in money, food and numbers.

Therefore, it is absolutely not allowed!

to be frank!
The two people are indeed top figures who are famous at the time, and both of them have extraordinary insights.

The emptiness and nothingness come from the dragon energy, and the mysterious north is determined to be the dragon's residence.

Zhu Yuanzhang relied entirely on his own great talent and strategy. He saw the worries of the ethnic groups outside the region at that time and felt the importance of money and food.

From this point of view, Lu Ye had to admit that the two people were really powerful and both had the strategy and vision to see through history.

However, it was precisely because of this incident that Xu Ruowu angrily broke with Zhu Yuanzhang.

This is just the first thing. The second thing is to appoint a crown prince!
This again involves Xu Ruowu's second ability. Xu Ruowu makes a living from feng shui, metaphysics, and physiognomy.

After much effort, he calculated through physiognomy that the Prince of Yan could be the ruler of the world!

Isn't this a joke?
The Prince of Yan has occupied the northern frontier for a long time. All his power and troops are in the north. If the Prince of Yan gains control of the world, he will have to move the capital.

Why did Zhu Yuanzhang make Nanjing the capital? Don’t you have any idea?
It is to provide future generations with a deep living space.

As a result, you established the King of Yan?
Zhu Yunwen's family, starting from the generation of Zhu Yunwen's father Zhu Biao, began to show benevolence and connect the inner and outer worlds. At the same time, Zhu Yunwen's grandmother was the leader of the Tianming Sect. Do you know who opened the Qinhuai River? Do you know how many wives and concubines of the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty were Zhu Yunwen's people?
simply put!
The Qinhuai River and part of the brothel power belonged to Zhu Yunwen.

There were one hundred officials in the Ming Dynasty, and seventy of them, or wives and concubines, were Zhu Yunwen's people. It goes without saying who these people supported.

Choose King Yan?
Even Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned!

You can just ask the ministers, and more than 95 percent of them support Zhu Yunwen as emperor!

therefore.

Zhu Yuanzhang refused again.

Because of this, the two once close friends broke up completely!

Hearing Lu Ye's unbridled sneer, Qi Tai agreed and said, "Ghost King Xu Ruo Wu, the Crown Prince, Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng have been dissatisfied with him for a long time. However, this man has made great contributions, and his disciples are spread all over the military. He cannot be dealt with easily!"

From this sentence, Lu Ye had already guessed that Zhu Yunwen's forces had already started to take action in secret to confront the Ghost King's Palace.

At this moment, the two sides are in an irreconcilable situation!
Lu Ye had already made a plan and was planning to help Zhu Yunwen. However, he couldn't be the first to speak about this matter. With his current strength, he would have to rely on the other party to come and ask in person before he would agree.
Otherwise, wouldn't he be so disrespectful?

Qi Tai was an important official of Zhu Yunwen's faction. Although his heart was with Yunwen and he knew that Lu Ye was a master, he did not recruit him immediately.

Qi Tai looked up at the sky and suddenly said cheerfully, "I wonder how much Brother Lu knows about the Qinhuai River, and whether he has any interest in this place?"

Lu Ye appeared calm on the surface, but in fact he had already guessed Qi Tai's thoughts.

Qinhuai River?
Isn't that your family's business?

"I see!"

Lu Ye secretly thought: "These people from the Tianming Sect don't trust me enough, so they plan to lure me into the Qinhuai River, use my beauty to get to know my identity and background, and then act accordingly!"

"Zhu Yunwen, the Tianming Sect, is really extremely cautious!"

Thinking of this, Lu Ye said happily: "To be honest, I am also a lustful person, but I have no interest in prostitutes. I am only interested in the so-called courtesans and prostitutes."

"Hahaha..." Qi Tai said in a loud voice, "A true hero is naturally romantic. Brother Lu is a hero in the world. How can he be lustful? It should be said that he is romantic. Brother Lu can rest assured. Qinhuai River is definitely not the simple transaction of money and sex that Brother Lu thinks."

"How can the courtesans who are truly famous throughout the world be ordinary people? These people are all extremely beautiful and talented, waiting to be sold at a high price. Many of them are innocent and only sell their skills but not their bodies!"

"Brother Lu, if you go there today, maybe someone will take a fancy to you and you may even find a lover!"

Lu Ye's eyes flickered.

I immediately realized Shan Yuru's wisdom from these words.

The martial arts that Shan Yuru practices is called "Canna Dafa", which has eighteen levels. When one completes all eighteen levels, he becomes a grandmaster.

Forty years ago, she was defeated in a dispute with Yan Jing'an, the abbot of Cihang Jingzhai. Instead of being completely defeated, she gained some enlightenment as a result.

Understand that showing off with your looks is not as good as engaging in a mental confrontation!
Thus he reached the ultimate state of "spiritual control, confrontation between men and women", and for forty years he sat there in silence, no longer talking about love between men and women.

From the Qinhuai River she managed, we can see the woman's methods. They were not to seduce people with their beauty, or even if there was any element of sex, but they were full of means of competition between men and women, and she took the art of seduction to the extreme.

Lu Ye smiled and said happily: "Let's follow Brother Qi's advice and go for a walk along the Qinhuai River!"

To be honest, Lu Ye also wanted to see with his own eyes what abilities the demon girl trained by Shan Yuru had.
The two walked together!

By the time they arrived at the Qinhuai River, night had already fallen. The river was gradually brightly lit, and countless dignitaries gathered from all directions!
suddenly.

Lu Ye looked sharply in one direction and noticed a figure.

The figure Lu Ye saw looked to be in his thirties or forties, tall, with flowing black hair, a calm demeanor, steady steps, and an indescribable fascinating aura. He was accompanied by a man in gray, and was looking in Lu Ye's direction.

Lu Ye sensed something and looked over.

When the two people's eyes met, they both had an intuition that he was a master.

but.

Lu Ye felt that the other party should be a veteran master-level expert.

However, the tall man was unsure about Lu Ye's strength and felt that he should be at the same level.

Qi Tai glanced at the opposite side and whispered to Lu Ye, "It's the Ghost King Xu Ruowu, and one of the four great generals of the Ghost King's Palace, Shuang Jue Guai Bi Tianyan. Bi Tianyan's great-grandfather Shuang Jue Guai Bi Kongqing once followed Grandmaster Chuan Ying to break into Jingyan Palace. From then on, we can know how powerful Bi Tianyan is. His family martial arts are definitely not weak. With the guidance of the Ghost King, who is only one level below the Grandmaster, Qi is no match for him!"

"Ok!"

Lu Ye nodded slightly.

He knew that the four great generals of the Ghost King's Palace were all just entering the Grandmaster level, and were indeed at the same level as Qi Tai.

The world is full of powerful people who can turn things upside down!

Among them, the strong players are divided into several levels, which is a little different from the division in the Tang Dynasty world where there are not many strong players.

Because there is the well-known martial arts "Fairy Air among Flowers", this method is used to divide the martial arts realm into several levels.

The fifteenth level of Huajian Fairyland, the beginning of the Grandmaster, the level of Qi Tai and the four generals of the Ghost King's Mansion is equal to the level of Bai Qing'er at the beginning in the Tang Dynasty world.

The sixteenth level of Huajian Immortal Aura, ordinary masters, the four guardians of the Magic Master Palace, the ten evil gods who can destroy the sky and the earth, and even the weaker masters on the black list are all at this level. Hou Xibai was at this level when he debuted in the Tang Dynasty world.

The seventeenth level of Huajian Fairyland, the old masters, the masters on the black list, the Poison Hand Qian Luo, the Poison Doctor Lie Zhenbei, the Left-Handed Knife Feng Han… the strong masters on the black list are all at this level, including Tianjun Xi Ying and others who have just entered the old master level in the Tang Dynasty.

The eighteenth level of Huajian Fairyland is known as the ultimate realm of the Grandmaster. The Japanese Shuiyue Sect who defeated Qian Luo in a single fight, Shan Yuru who is stronger than Shuiyue, Qin Mengyao who has not yet broken through, Shaolin Monk Wuxiang, Changbai Sect's immortal... belong to this level, which is equivalent to Zhu Yuyan, Zhao Deyan and others in the Tang Dynasty world.

Two people are talking.

suddenly.

Not far away, a brightly lit pleasure boat was coming from a distance.

The pleasure boat was obviously not a boat owned by a respectable family. At the bow of the boat, a woman in white was sitting upright, playing the zither with her eyes downcast. The sound of the zither was melodious and endless.

The originally noisy Qinhuai River gradually became quiet.

Although in Lu Ye's eyes, this woman in white was still not stunningly beautiful, she was only at the level of Bai Qing'er, not at the level of Kankan.

however.

This group of dignitaries from Yingtian Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty obviously had little knowledge and were already shocked by her beauty. The woman in white who appeared before them was graceful and her white clothes were whiter than snow.

The jet-black hair fluttered in the breeze from the lake, looking indescribably free and easy.

The piano sound disappeared!

The beauty finally raised her head, looked around with a calm expression, and suddenly looked in the direction of Lu Ye and the others, allowing Lu Ye to deeply see the true appearance of the woman in front of him. Her oval face was framed by a pair of bright eyes, which shone with the light of wisdom. Her straight and delicate facial features gave people a clean and holy temperament. Her plump red lips were as bright as the peony sun, which made people unable to look directly at them.

"I am Bai Fanghua. This is the first time I have shown my skills in public. Thank you all for your support!"

Smile sweetly.

Bai Fanghua spoke loudly in a voice as sweet and melodious as the sound of nature.

Qi Tai seemed to have known this for a long time and didn't take it seriously.

However, Lu Ye's expression changed instantly.

It turned out to be Bai Fanghua who showed up and displayed his skills. Lu Ye instantly grasped the changing timeline at the moment.

Bai Fanghua is the most famous prostitute in Qinhuai River, second only to Lian Xiuxiu, the most famous prostitute in the world.

Simultaneously.

She is also the next leader of the Tianming Sect, the successor of the magic sect cultivated by Shan Yuru with great effort. Don't be fooled by this woman's young age and her hidden appearance. In fact, she has profound magic skills and has reached the seventeenth level of the Cai Nu Dafa, which is the same level as her master Shan Yuru.

When Bai Fanghua first appeared in the original novel, she was already the most famous prostitute in Qinhuai River, second only to Lian Xiuxiu.

At the same time, with the help of his friendship with the Ghost King Xu Ruowu, he worshipped Xu Ruowu as his godfather, and with the help of Xu Ruowu, he hooked up with the King of Yan, and naturally became the King of Yan's lover, becoming a nail that could not be harder for the Tianming Sect to infiltrate the camp of the King of Yan, Zhu Di.

Combined with Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal for marriage at the morning court today, Lu Ye could clearly feel the struggle between the two major camps.

In the morning, Shan Yuru showed her affection to Xu Ruowu, but was rejected. In the evening, she sent the most outstanding successor of the younger generation of the Yingui Sect. And the Ghost King Xu Ruowu brought the Bi Tianyan to the Qinhuai River by coincidence...

In this situation, who dares to say that they are not competing secretly?

"Bai Fanghua, one of the nine martial arts prodigies of the younger generation, and the lover of King Yan..."

Lu Ye began to think.

The so-called nine geniuses of the younger generation refer to nine young geniuses from outside the Middle-earth who are invincible and aiming for the grandmaster level, or even one step closer.

In this era, there are as many as nine.

The first is the little magician "Fang Yeyu", a disciple cultivated by Pang Ban with great effort.

The second is Qi Changzheng, the best swordsman of the younger generation of the Langfanyun Nujiao Gang.

Next is Feng Xinglie, a disciple of the evil spirit Li Ruohai.

The Mongolian outstanding genius master Eagle Flying.

The prodigal Han Bai was taught the magic seed by Chi Zunxin by chance, and he cultivated the magic in his Taoist heart. He also got the War God Atlas and practiced the War God Atlas with him.

The other four are women.

Zhen Sushan, a talented beauty from Khwarezm.

The Jurchen princess Jin Buyao, whose Han Chinese name is Meng Qingqing.

Qin Mengyao, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai.

Bai Fanghua, the successor to the Tianming Sect's leader.

Since Jin Bingyun has never fought directly, he is not included in the list. If Jin Bingyun from Cihang Jingzhai is included, then there are five men and five women.

Never think that men are necessarily stronger than women.

Really not!

Zhen Sushan's martial arts skills are even better than those of the young Mongolian master Ying Fei.

Meng Qingqing attacked Qi Changzheng, who had grown into a veteran master and was almost at the peak of his powers. Seeing that Qi Changzheng was distracted, she waited for him to come to his senses before challenging him to a fight, because she was not willing to take any advantage. As a result, they fought fairly and Qi Changzheng was killed and fled in panic.

Bai Fanghua's martial arts were restrained by Han Bai's demon species, but he still showed strong fighting ability.

Qin Mengyao even surpassed all the younger generations and went a step further by plotting to kill Shan Yuru, an old master who was a headache for everyone.

These four women are all extremely cruel!
He is extremely gifted and powerful!
Among all the ladies, Bai Fanghua's appearance is relatively inferior, not enough to be listed among the top beauties who can turn the tide.

Qin Mengyao and Zhen Sushan are in the first tier.

Of course, Lu Ye would not stop the plan of the Tianming Sect for the sake of lust. However, it was extremely boring that such a genius was conspired to be the lover of Prince Yan, but was finally exposed, making all the arrangements useless!

In martial arts novels, the most unreliable thing is the beauty trap!
Especially when facing the Yan Wang camp with three protagonists, any strategy is fine, but the beauty trap must never be used.

Since Lu Ye has already chosen Zhu Yunwen's camp, it is naturally necessary for him to save himself this useless effort!
