Dominate the Heavens: Starting from the Foreign History of Wulin

Chapter 367 The Transaction between Lu Ye and Zhu Yuanzhang

Lu Ye finally met Zhu Yuanzhang, but because he was summoned in the evening, he did not see Chen Yuzhen, also known as Concubine Chen, Zhu Yuanzhang's most beloved concubine in the world of romance!
Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite concubine Chen Yuzhen was one of the top ten beauties in Central Plains, ranking sixth.

As for the so-called two beauties of the capital, Xu Yeyue ranked third, and Zhuang Qingshuang was only ranked seventh. From this we can see how beautiful Chen Yuzhen is.

This girl has a pretty face, star-like eyes that hide sorrow, and her expression has a lot of the cold and lonely temperament that Kankan has.

Xu Yeyue plus Chen Yuzhen is almost equivalent to Yu Xianxian!
The temperament that Kankan possesses is exactly the combination of the two women.

The ten great beauties in the Central Plains are actually ranked. However, except for Qin Mengyao who ranks first, who is slightly better, the other nine beauties are actually of similar levels and are all first-tier beauties.

Strictly speaking, Xu Yeyue, Zhuang Qingshuang, and Chen Yuzhen all have their own strengths and are hard to tell apart.

Chen Yuzhen is not only extremely beautiful, but also has top-notch background and martial arts talent.

Like Bai Fanghua, Chen Yuzhen is also from the Tianming Sect.

Sixty years ago, Shan Yuru, the direct disciple of the Tianming Sect, made her debut. When Shan Yuru made her debut, she was not alone, but was followed by a young and beautiful maid, who was equivalent to Shan Yuru's junior sister. She had no name, but she and Shan Yuru were like sisters.

In the fierce battle between the evil and the righteous, Shan Yuru's maid, who was like a sister to her, died tragically, leaving behind a daughter. It is rumored that the daughter looks exactly like Chen Yuzhen, with outstanding appearance. Shan Yuru trained her carefully, and when she was older, she sent her to practice with the senior master of the martial arts world, the Poison Queen Zheng Fahong. The woman cultivated a body of poison skills, but inexplicably fell in love with the flower-collecting bee Xue Mingyu. Xue Mingyu was lustful and hunted for beautiful women everywhere. The woman died of depression and left behind a daughter. The daughter she shared with Xue Mingyu was Chen Yuzhen!
Although Chen Yuzhen is a disciple of Shan Yuru's grandson, in fact, he is at the same level as Bai Fanghua, which is equivalent to the two direct disciples of Tianming Sect.

Chen Yuzhen's martial arts skills are powerful and unpredictable. Like Jin Bingyun, he has never really used any force.

but.

She had two impromptu experiences. The first was against Zhu Yuanzhang. She used her poison skills to poison Zhu Yuanzhang without leaving any trace. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't even suppress the poison and died after saying a few words in a hurry. With Zhu Yuanzhang's martial arts skills, he couldn't even leave a complete last word. You can see how powerful this woman was.

The second time was the battle with Lengyan. In the mental confrontation, he completely defeated Pang Ban's disciple Lengyan with his charm, causing Lengyan to rarely hesitate between the forces of Pang Ban and Shan Yuru.

Of course, Pang Ban’s charm was even more terrifying. When Lengyan saw Pang Ban, he immediately regained his senses. However, even at that time, he was still obsessed with Chen Yuzhen.

It can be imagined that Chen Yu is really amazing!

Just think about it, in a place like the Imperial Palace where there are so many masters, a young and beautiful woman can thrive like a fish in water. Even a man like Zhu Yuanzhang was poisoned, but in the end Chen Yuzhen escaped unscathed. You can see how difficult this woman is!

It would have been fine if Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know Chen Yuzhen's true origins at the beginning.

Later, Han Bai sensed Chen Yuzhen's true background. Zhu Yuanzhang knew Chen Yuzhen's situation, but he still couldn't stop and died tragically of poisoning.

From this point, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang had already been defeated without realizing it!

Bewitched by the magic of charm.

Otherwise, how could he not be ruthless enough to take action and get rid of Chen Yuzhen once and for all even though he knew that the other party had ill intentions?
In short, Chen Yuzhen is very strong, and may be as good as Bai Fanghua. However, she has not actually made a move, so it is hard to be sure at what level her martial arts skills are.

Lu Ye shook his head. It had been more than half a day since he came to this world, but he had not seen even one of the so-called ten beauties.

Lu Ye raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on the dragon table.

Logically speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang should be 69 years old at this moment, and he should pass away in a year at most.

however.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, without any sense of oldness.

Lu Ye knew that this was because Xuanmen’s internal strength was extremely profound.

Zhu Yuanzhang learned from Peng Yingyu, the top master on the previous generation's black list. Peng Yingyu was a veteran master-level master, and Zhu Yuanzhang was about the same. At this moment, he should be at the same level as Liaowu and Lengyan.

With such powerful strength, plus ambushes by masters inside and outside, it is no wonder that Zhu Yuanzhang is not afraid of the grandmaster at all.

But Lu Ye was not afraid of him. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang, he just smiled and said loudly, "I wonder why the emperor summoned me?"

"Be bold!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, the eunuch Nie Qingtong who followed him immediately said angrily: "Why don't you kneel down and salute when you see Your Majesty?"

"Oh?"

Lu Ye smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you want me, Lu Ye, to salute you?"

With the martial arts skills that Lu Ye possessed at that time, not calling him Zhu Yuanzhang as soon as they met was already giving Zhu Yuanzhang face. The martial artists present should know this well.

If these people still want to push their luck, then it’s not a question of whether Lu Ye gives them face or not, but whether he is shameless and deliberately wants to turn against them.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang achieved great success, he was already a master in the underworld. He was well aware of these situations and immediately stopped him, saying, "Just look at Mr. Lu calling me the emperor instead of Zhu Yuanzhang. It can be seen that he is giving face to the Ming Dynasty. Qingtong must not be rude!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Nie Qingtong to prepare a chair for Lu Ye in the imperial study. After Lu Ye sat down, he spoke: "I was in the palace not long ago. I heard about your skills. I was really shocked. Forgive me for being frank. Even 40 years ago, only the famous magician Pang Ban could match your skills. You are definitely not an unknown person. I wonder what your name is and where you came from?"

Lu Ye smiled and said, "I am Lu Ye, a Taoist. I accidentally got the magic skills and went from Taoism to magic. Now my martial arts can be divided into two parts, one is Taoist internal skills, and the other is magic. At this moment, Taoist martial arts still have the upper hand, but I have planned to abandon Taoism and follow magic in order to make further progress. Is the emperor satisfied with this statement?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he almost didn't think twice and said directly: "I would like to ask, sir, where did you get your magic skills? Did you trade with the Magic Master Palace or other magic masters, or..."

Lu Ye said: "I got it by slaying demons and monsters!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Then, sir, do you have any relationship with the two major magic sects in the martial arts world today, the Magic Master Palace and the Tianming Sect?"

Lu Ye said: "I plan to find Shan Yuru, subdue the Tianming Sect, and fight with Pang Ban's magic master palace. I wonder if this counts as having a relationship?"

Hearing Lu Ye say this, Zhu Yuanzhang finally showed a satisfied look and smiled, "Sir, since you said so, I can finally rest assured!"

Lu Ye said: "I know what the emperor is worried about. To put it bluntly, he is worried that I have a relationship with the Magic Master Palace or the tribes outside the domain. Lu Ye is a Han Chinese. These people are of course my sworn enemies. The emperor has no doubt about this!"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "So, sir, you came out this time mainly to fight against Pang Ban?"

"Yes!"

Lu Ye said: "Your Majesty, do you know that in a month, the Magic Master Palace will return to the arena."

"Oh, in a month?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Liao Wu both showed surprised expressions. Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Where did you get this information, sir?"

Lu Ye said: "I naturally have my own sources of intelligence. There is no way this matter can be wrong. Pang Ban has been in seclusion for 40 years. During these 40 years, he has recruited followers and cultivated experts. As far as I know, Pang Ban not only has three disciples, four guardians, ten evil spirits, and various cavalry under his command, but also countless elite troops."

"And this is merely the strength of the Magician Palace."

Lu Ye said: "In addition to the Magician Palace, Pangban has also gathered four major tribes from outside the region behind him, the Jurchens, the Oirat, the Khwarezmians, and the Mongols. Each force is full of experts!"

"Let's talk about Mongolia first. Mongolia has five great masters, Li Chimei, Qiang Wangsheng, You Chidi, Meng Da and Meng Er. Your Majesty should know the strength of these five masters better than I do."

"call!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a long breath. Everyone knew that Li Chimei was a master of the same level as the Ghost King Xu Ruowu. In other words, she was at the level of Shan Yuruo, a master.

Qiang Wangsheng and You Chidi are ordinary masters.

Meng Da and Meng Er are both new masters.

The five great masters are extraordinary, and there is no master below the Grandmaster.

However in reality.

Lu Ye said: "In terms of the number of masters, Khwarezm is stronger than Mongolia. Of course, Zhen Sushan of Khwarezm is only a leader recommended by the Semites. Her subordinates are not all masters of Khwarezm. They include Semites and more than ten other ethnic groups."

"Zhen Sushan is a genius from Khwarezm, the leader of the Semites. Her martial arts skills are comparable to those of Prince of Yan Zhu Di, and her wisdom is unparalleled in the world. Under her command, there are two major systems and ten great masters."

"The first system consists of seven masters who are willing to submit to Zhen Sushan and are loyal to her. Purple-eyed Demon Lord Hua Zha'ao is Zhen Sushan's uncle and a veteran master. The veteran master of the Copper Sect Shan Chayue, the rough man and pretty girl Guang Yingcheng, Ya Hanqing, the left and right pioneers Yan Muliang and Zhuo Yuanyuan are all ordinary masters, and there is also the general Semu Tuo who has just entered the master level. There are a total of seven masters." "The second system consists of masters who are powerful, confident in their own strength, and do not completely obey Zhen Sushan. There are three of them, namely the number one master of the Semu tribe, the Wild Wolf Renbi, the Bloodsucking Shovel Pingdong, and the Mountain Lion Hara Weng. The Wild Wolf Renbi is the number one master of the Semu tribe. Although his martial arts have not reached the master level, he is also a veteran master, but he is undoubtedly a master who is very close to the master level. The two masters who are loyal to him have all reached the level of ordinary masters."

"The power of these two clans alone, together with the Magician Palace, is already unimaginably strong."

"And the other side also has the Evil Sand Castle, one of the three great evil dens in the martial arts world, and two other extremely powerful nations, the Jurchens and the Oirat!"

"Pang Ban was invincible 40 years ago. Forty years later, his magic skills have become even more profound. It is natural that when he returns to the martial arts world with such a huge martial arts and national power, he only needs to enter the Central Plains to easily make all the underworld forces bow down to him. The forces of Chen Youliang, who used to hate Your Majesty, such as the Phantom Sword Sect, one of the three major evil caves, and the Yellow River Gang, surrendered at the sight of him... By then, the power will usher in further expansion..."

Lu Ye asked: "Has the emperor thought about how to deal with this crisis?"

After hearing Lu Ye's introduction one by one, even Zhu Yuanzhang and Liao Wu, who originally did not take the foreign forces seriously, could not help but look solemn.

original.

The two of them thought that with Pang Ban's pride, even if he returned to the underworld, he could at most stir up a bloody storm alone.

What the hell?

Pang Ban actually had helpers when he looked for someone to fight, and there were so many helpers?
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang had already handed over the matter of Pang Ban to the eight major righteous sects. Now, after hearing that the eight major righteous sects were like a piece of cake under Pang Ban's methods, could they stop the magician Pang Ban and the four foreign tribes?
wrong!

The main task of the eight major sects is to fight against Pang Ban, and the power of the Demon Master's Palace can barely be included in it.

Lu Ye said: "Lu has also heard about the emperor's countermeasures, which is nothing more than the alliance of the eight major sects against the Magic Master Palace!"

Lu Ye shook his head repeatedly. Did Zhu Yuanzhang underestimate Pang Ban too much?

Among the eight major sects of the righteous path, the two most powerful masters, who have reached the ultimate level of grandmasters, are the Monk Wuxiang and the Immortal.

The old masters, including Shaolin Sect Leader Bu Wen, Sword Monk Bu She, Wudang Sect’s Chun Yang Zi, and Bodhi Garden’s Fa Ke, except for these six masters, the others are ordinary masters, those who have just entered the Grandmaster stage.

How can these masters stop Pang Ban’s five armies? The gap is too big!
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "From what Brother Lu said, if Pang Ban returns to the underworld, the underworld will also become one of Pang Ban's forces!"

Lu Ye shook his head and said, "It can only be said that most of the underworld will be like this. For example, Xiaoyao Sect, Shiwu Village, Yellow River Gang, Xiangshui Gang, Buyi Gang, these five gangs may surrender, and these five gangs are powerful, not inferior to the eight major sects of the righteous path. Of course, some righteous sects will also attach themselves to them, such as Nanhai Sect and Hengshan Sect..."

"This is why I entered the capital. Facing such a powerful force, I cannot resist it completely alone, no matter how strong my martial arts are. I need the help of the Ming Dynasty. Originally, I was planning to find Zhu Yunwen for cooperation, but I didn't expect to meet Hu Weiyong first. His Shenwu Navy is quite important. If we use it, it can play the role of fighting on all sides. One hundred thousand troops, in the hands of a strong man, are of extraordinary use."

After hearing Lu Ye's proposal and analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang considered it secretly.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you want to be an official, I can give you an idle official position and send you to contact all parties and the governor to fight against Pang Ban's forces. As for Hu Weiyong? It's better for you to stay away from him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang’s meaning was very clear.

He supported Lu Ye in dealing with Pang Ban.

However, at most I will give you an honorary position, and Lu Ye will need to contact the people under your command himself, and I don’t care how you fight.

Does Zhu Yuanzhang have the power to deal with the martial arts world?

some!

Zhu Yuanzhang's force to deal with the martial arts world included two parts. One was the "Dragon-Slaying Group" derived from the Jinyiwei, which was led by Lengyan. This force was completely composed of martial arts masters and was used to deal with the gangs within the Ming Dynasty.

The second is the alliance of eight righteous sects derived from Ye Sudong's royal guard. This force is designed to deal with the evil forces outside the Middle-earth.

However, these two forces are all Zhu Yuanzhang's foundation, and can be said to be the basis of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to put them directly in the hands of an untrustworthy master like Lu Ye.

and so.

After repeated consideration, Zhu Yuanzhang decided that you should not even think about your other strengths, and you are not to touch my mighty navy!
Lu Ye rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Is there anyone in this world who talks about things like this?

He is not willing to pay anything and still wants Lu Ye to hand over the Shenwu Navy that he has obtained. Isn't this just dreaming?
Lu Ye said: "If this is what the emperor intends to do, I think there is no need for us to continue the discussion."

"No!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly, "Sir, you have misunderstood my meaning. My meaning is that the Shenwu Navy is related to the Hu Weiyong Party, and you'd better not interfere. Now in the Ming Dynasty, there are several parties, including the Crown Prince Party, the Prince of Yan Party, the Hu Weiyong Party, the Lan Yu Party... You'd better get close to Yun Wen. In fact, Yun Wen also has his own armed forces under his command, and you may be able to train them. In addition, with the help of the Crown Prince, it should be easier for you to summon various martial arts forces and use them for your own benefit!"

"I see. Then it was me, Lu Ye, who misunderstood His Majesty!"

Lu Ye said: "Leaving Hu Weiyong and assisting Zhu Yunwen, there is absolutely no problem at all, please issue an order, Your Majesty!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was immediately delighted and said, "In that case, Mr. Lu will be appointed as the Crown Prince's Junior Guardian, responsible for educating the Crown Prince in military affairs. In addition, he will be in charge of the sixteen guards on the left and right who protect the Crown Prince. What do you think, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Ye thought for a while.

At this moment in the Ming Dynasty, the power of the Eastern Palace was divided into three parts: the Prince's Grand Tutor, the Prince's Grand Preceptor, and the Prince's Grand Protector. They were basically all high-ranking officials in the capital, such as Lan Yu, Xu Da and others. The Prince's Grand Preceptor was just a nominal position.

Being the Prince's Guardian, Lu Ye had direct control over the military affairs of the left and right guards of Zhu Yunwen's Eastern Palace.

The armed forces of the Eastern Palace were divided into the Left Guard Square and the Right Guard Square, with eight guards in each square, for a total of sixteen guards. Wei was the name of a unique armed force in the Ming Dynasty, such as the Jinyiwei. The establishment of one guard should be 5,600 people.

Although the Eastern Palace has sixteen guard-level commanders of this rank, in reality, there is only the strength of two guard quarters in total, which is 11,120 people.

That is to say, although there were only two regiments of troops, sixteen regimental commanders were appointed.

Ten thousand elite soldiers are considered one of the more powerful forces in the capital.

The most important thing is Zhu Yunwen's identity, coupled with the armed forces behind him, he was able to recruit soldiers and horses, and it can be said that he was invincible.

Lu Ye was quite satisfied with the position of Prince's Guardian and readily accepted Zhu Yuanzhang's proposal to distance himself from Hu Weiyong.

Anyway, he had given the demon seed to Hu Weiyong.

At this moment, he could transmit his will into Hu Weiyong's body anytime and anywhere, and it had nothing to do with whether he was with Hu Weiyong or not.

How would Zhu Yuanzhang know this!
Send someone to arrange for Lu Ye to go down and rest.

Zhu Yuanzhang planned to wait until the next day, then send someone to call Zhu Yunwen over, tell him what had happened, have Zhu Yunwen come forward to pay his respects, and send Lu Ye to the crown prince's party to strengthen Zhu Yunwen's power.

See Lu Ye leave.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liao Wu beside him and said in a deep voice: "Master, what do you think of Lu Ye?"

Liao Wu thought for a moment and said, "I silently practiced the Wu Nian Zen of my sect and sensed the inner energy of him. The Taoist mind method is endless, so he is indeed a Taoist master. However, there are evil thoughts in his spiritual sea, so he must have practiced the spiritual secrets of the demon sect. There should be no problem with his identity and origin."

"As for what Lu Ye said about Pangban's massive incursion into the Central Plains, I think it is very likely, because Pangban is indeed closely connected with Mongolia, and it is natural for foreign countries to form an alliance with us, as they fear our invasion. This is probably true!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "Of course I know that Pang Ban's power is real, but I am a little unsure of his origin and purpose. Master Liaowu, can you confirm which Taoist sect he belongs to?"

Liao Wu shook his head repeatedly and said, "I can't be sure, because Taoist masters often hide their identities for dozens or hundreds of years and suddenly appear. No one knows where they live in seclusion or what kind of inheritance they have experienced. There is no way to investigate. Moreover, from time to time, Taoists will have geniuses like Zhang Sanfeng who create something out of nothing and suddenly appear."

(Note: Some people mentioned that Zhang Sanfeng was not in Fanyunfuyu, because during the period when Pangban was rampant, the best master was Shaolin Juejie, and Zhang Sanfeng could not have been defeated by Pangban and Juejie. This makes sense. However, the four great masters of Wudang, Chunyangzi, Feibai, Tiantong, and Xiaobandaoren, are all second-generation Wudang disciples, which means they are Zhang Sanfeng's disciples. Could it be that Zhang Sanfeng ascended to heaven in advance, or fell asleep, slept for thirty years, and is still sleeping now? I personally think it's outrageous.)
……

While Zhu Yuanzhang and Liao Wu were guessing again and again.

Lu Ye returned to Hu Weiyong's house to find Bai Fanghua, and went to the Eastern Palace to report together.

At this moment Bai Fanghua has already started.

She first practiced the Cai Nu Dafa, so of course it was impossible for her to directly start the Eighteen Styles of Bodhidharma. First of all, she needed to know how to coordinate two completely different martial arts.
Therefore, the first thing Bai Fanghua watched was Shi Zhixuan's Immortal Seal!
"The other shore mind method is neither on this shore nor on the other shore. It moves as the heart desires, and the body follows the mind's illusion. It's powerful, really powerful. Shi Zhixuan is really amazing. The Flower Fairy Qi and the Heaven-Repairing Qi, two completely different martial arts, were easily controlled by him with such a unique mind method. However, this skill is like sailing in the raging sea. Controlling completely opposite martial arts still has risks. If you twist it, you may go astray. If you get the Tai Chi Thirteen Forms, you can practice both positive and negative at the same time, and the two poles will return to one. If you still can't return to one with the other shore mind method and the Tai Chi Thirteen Forms, then you are a fool! Once you cultivate to the other shore, you can practice Bodhidharma martial arts, try to get started, and embark on the road to becoming a grandmaster!"
