Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 277 Gui Lichi’s escape route

In the early morning, the sky has not yet begun to turn white.

On the cold grassland, Zhu Xi sat cross-legged on the snow, apparently falling into a state of selflessness.

He came outside alone from the tribe, regardless of the cold environment, consolidating and trying new realms.

After nearly two years of arduous practice, and even so many years of dual practice with Mu Qiu and Xu Miaojin, he finally made a breakthrough tonight.

As his practice progressed and he transitioned from nourishing Qi to practicing Qi, he finally no longer had to simply refine Qi from his own blood.

I saw him breathing in and out, and there was a special spiritual energy being absorbed by him.

There was even an aura invisible to the naked eye surrounding him, entering from hundreds of acupuncture points all over his body and even from every pore.

These are the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which are completely different from gases such as air and oxygen. Except for monks who can feel it, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to detect it in their lifetime.

Zhu Qi closed his eyes tightly and felt the rapid influx of spiritual energy. Although he was not very skilled at the beginning, the absorption in just a moment was enough to equal the progress of several days or even ten days.

After all, he now draws spiritual energy from heaven and earth, instead of converting blood energy from himself.

After all, the energy of the human body is limited, but the aura of heaven and earth is infinite.

After a while, Zhu Chu took out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

"This path of spiritual practice is really not something that humans can persevere in. It's really not something that humans can do," Zhu Zhen couldn't help but complained crazily.

The reason why I say this is because Zhu Zhen's physical fitness is different from ordinary people due to the attributes improved by the system.

Coupled with the assistance of the dual cultivation techniques of Huangdi Neijing, he even made a lot of supplements after entering the capital.

Even so, it took him nearly two years to finally complete the first stage.

"If we go by the levels of those fantasy cultivation novels, I can be considered to have completed my Qi refining period," Zhu Zhen clenched his fist, thinking to himself, while trying to punch forward.

"Buzzing", Zhu Chu's punch not only caused a slight vibration in the air, but even a weak gas was punched out from his fist, drifted forward for a moment, and landed on the snow.

"Is this the release of true energy?" Zhu Zhen frowned and couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

But the next second, there was just a 'bang' sound, and the snow was exploded out of thin air, and a hole was opened in the hard ground that should have been frozen.

Zhu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he was overjoyed and laughed: "Hahahaha, this is right."

In fact, he only tried it a little bit, and he didn't release much Qi.

Unexpectedly, the effect was quite good.

Zhu Ming nodded with satisfaction and said to himself: "Although it seems that the true energy is not released much, now I am already a so-called innate master, how can it be simple? Although the power of this punch is definitely not as good as a machine gun The power of a bullet or a bomb's explosive pack. However, if it were a today's firecracker, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to achieve this kind of power."

Even if it were shot with a fire blunderbuss, it would be able to sink a few inches into the ground at most, but it would never explode or hit that deep.

And this is just a punch. What if the sword is used to display the so-called sword energy? so what?

The sword energy is sharp and can cause a large number of casualties.

"This is Kai Wushuang," Zhu Zhen raised his head, looking at the bright moon that was about to fall, and suddenly became extremely proud.

If they had broken through before the battle with Guilichi, I'm afraid Guilichi wouldn't be able to escape, not even the [-]-strong army.

"Huh? Is it snowing?" Zhu Zhen suddenly felt a little cool on his face. It turned out that snowflakes started falling at some point, and the second snowfall came on the grassland.

The snowflakes fell on Zhu Xi's body and melted quickly. He was even dressed in single clothes, like pajamas of this era.

As soon as he felt the breakthrough, he couldn't wait to run out without even having time to put on a coat.

But Zhu Chu didn't feel cold at all. Not only did his strong physical fitness make his blood surge, his whole body was as hot as a stove. As his true energy became more solid and deep, he could gradually ignore the influence of the outside temperature.

At least he can deal with ordinary spring, summer, autumn and winter indifferently. As for whether he can run to the North and South Pole without being afraid of the cold, he doesn't know because he hasn't tried it yet.

"We have to go back, otherwise the girl will be worried," Zhu Zhen stopped delaying and returned to the tribe not far away.

Now he has unceremoniously occupied the tent that should belong to Gui Lichi, opened the tent door, and Zhu Chu got in.

When they got to the back room, they saw that Xu Miaojin had not fallen asleep, but had been waiting for him to come back with a pair of big bright eyes.

"Aren't you sleepy? Aren't you tired?" Zhu Zhen got into the warm bed funny.

Xu Miaojin blushed and rolled her eyes at him. No matter how sleepy or tired she was, she still had to wait for him. Besides, she didn't know who was tormenting her?

She didn't mind the cold air brought back by Zhu Chu, so she snuggled up directly and asked, "How is it? Did you really achieve a breakthrough?"

Zhu Ming nodded and said with a smile: "You, sister, have a large part of the credit for this."

Xu Miaojin spat, not seriously.

Then Zhu Ming also described his feelings: "Only when you have passed the stage of nourishing qi and reached the state of qi training, can you truly be considered a beginner and can you truly come into contact with the aura of heaven and earth. Girl, this world is very big and broad. You must seize the time to catch up. Come up."

Compared with the limited blood energy in the body, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is truly infinite.

And so far in this world, except for the mysterious and mysterious Zhang Sanfeng, Zhu Ming has not met another monk. This means that only a few people can use the spiritual energy of the entire world.

Such huge resources will greatly improve Zhu Zhen's future practice progress.

The more I think about it, the more excited I get.

It's a pity that Xu Miaojin was really sleepy. She had been holding on waiting for him before, but now that he was back, she quickly fell asleep in his arms.

Zhu Ming had no choice but to endure his excitement, hugged the beauty and rested.

Then came the next day.

"Initiation of the Holy Khan."

Early in the morning, someone came to report.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that it was the way of calling the grassland people, because Zhu Ming had already warned his Ming army to continue to call him His Highness. After all, he, the Holy Khan, only targeted the grassland people for the sake of convenience. He had not yet done so in the Ming Dynasty. After ascending the throne, he was still the vassal king.

"Come in," Zhu Xi agreed.

Of course he and Xu Miaojin had already gotten up at this time, because there were no so-called domestic slaves in the tent, and Min Minte and the others were not allowed to come in to serve them, so Xu Miaojin was busy lighting a fire and preparing to boil water.

She doesn't need to come in person to cook, but she is still happy to help make a cup of hot tea for her man.

Originally, Zhu Chu wanted to help, but Xu Miaojin refused, saying that you are now known as the Holy Khan, how could you be so ridiculous when people see you?

I saw a grassland woman walk in, kneel down on one knee respectfully, and said: "Report to the Holy Khan, the leader of the Ordos tribe is here. I wanted to pay homage to you, but I was worried that you hadn't gotten up yet, so Lady Wuyuntana Let me ask if you are up and if it is convenient."

"Ordos tribe?" Zhu Zhen was stunned.

The woman explained: "Ms. Wuyuntana is from this tribe. Yesterday she sent someone overnight to notify the Ordos Department and asked her father to come this morning and prepare to surrender to you."

The Ordos tribe is an old noble tribe in Tatar with a long history. Although it is not as high as the Chahar tribe, it also followed Genghis Khan in the beginning.

"Wait a minute, Ordos Department? Isn't that the Ordos Grassland, which is the Hetao area?" Zhu Xi has been holding the grassland map recently to supplement his knowledge. He already knows that the Hetao area extends from Helan Mountain in the west to Hohhot in the east. Basically, it is right here. The Ordos grassland area.

But the problem is that the Hetao area is now the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"So our tribe has been driven out for a long time," a sigh came from outside the tent.

Immediately afterwards, Wuyuntana's voice came in, complaining: "Dad, the Holy Khan hasn't come to see you yet, so don't offend me."

The voice said: "The man who can make my pearl (Tana means pearl) be so highly respected, come to think of it, is definitely not comparable to Guilichi. It seems that the title of Holy Khan will be confirmed. . I just don’t know if the Holy Khan is willing to receive a bad old man like me, and whether he is willing to accept our refuge?" Zhu Chu raised his eyebrows and said outside: "Then come in. Am I still worried that you are going to assassinate me? Can’t do it?”

Only then did someone lift the door flap from outside, and then Wuyuntana walked in accompanied by an old man.

Wuyuntana is already a beautiful woman in her thirties, but her father is not too old. He looks to be in his forties, in his prime.

Zhu Ming asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Are you really father and daughter?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's absolutely true. I got married when I was fourteen, and had Tana when I was fifteen. Why, don't you Central Plains people also have girls of fifteen and hairpins, some of whom are ten? A four-year-old boy can already start a family?"

It seems that this old man has some knowledge.

In fact, what he said is right. In ancient times, people in the Central Plains also got married early.

For example, King Yan Zhu Di was born in the [-]th year of the late Yuan Dynasty, that is, [-], and in the ninth year of Hongwu, that is, [-], he married the eldest sister of the Xu family, Xu Miaoyun, when he was only sixteen years old. Bar.

This is still a royal wedding, and even if it is like this, it will only happen earlier among the people.

"What a beast," Zhu Ming said subconsciously.

Wuyuntana's father, the leader of the Ordos tribe, suddenly felt confused. How could this be said? He was the wife of Ming Media.

Xu Miaojin on the side also rolled his eyes at Zhu Chu.

Zhu Ming immediately realized, well, he is actually only fourteen years old, and Xu Miaojin is only fifteen years old?

It’s better not to mention it as much, it’s all for review.

"What's your name?" Zhu Xi asked, changing the subject.

"My name is Batu Buhua," Batu Buhua hurriedly bowed and said his name.

Batu means strong, and Buhua means cow. When combined, it means strong cow?

This is the naming style of prairie people. Men are mostly named after ferocious animals, such as tigers and cows.

Most women are decorated with flowers and plants.

"Are you here to surrender to me?" Zhu Ming continued to ask, straight to the point, without rambling, and naturally there was no need for small talk.

Batu Buhua nodded and agreed: "That's right. The old minister came immediately after getting the news about his daughter. However, the news is actually slow. The old minister feels that he is old, so in recent years, he has asked me His son Batu Timur (Timur means steel) was summoned by Guilichi."

"And this time, I also heard that you defeated Guilichi's army and even made him flee to our tribe in embarrassment. As a result, because the information came a step late, Guilichi took advantage of it, and even my dog He took the men from the tribe and left after him."

When Batu Buhua said this, Wuyuntana couldn't help but sigh: "I was worried that Dad and Adi would be deceived by Gui Lichi, so I sent a warning immediately."

"Then you should have said earlier that you gave up Guilichi and switched to the arms of the Holy Khan," Batu Buhua also complained.

Some details were revealed in the conversation between father and daughter. Naturally, Wuyuntana did not inform her parents' family as soon as Guilichi left the tribe. Obviously, she initially hoped that her parents' power could help Guilichi make a comeback.

But later she changed her mind and sent a message to her natal tribe overnight, but it was still too late.

Zhu Ming heard it, but did not express his position. He just smiled calmly and said: "It doesn't matter. At worst, we can call the people back in front of the battle. As long as they are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, how can this holy Khan have no tolerance?" A man’s measure.”

Batu Buhua breathed a sigh of relief. He already knew that Zhu Chu now had an army of hundreds of thousands. Once Zhu Chu angered their tribe, he would probably crush them.

At least if it was Gui Lichi's character, he would really dare to do that.

"It's a pity that the snow conditions today are not very good, which is not conducive to sending troops to pursue. Otherwise, we can prevent Guilichi from continuing to flee eastward and taking away the strong men of other tribes along the way," Batu Buhua sighed.

The main reason is that although Zhu Zhen has sent many people to spread the word about Guilichi's crimes to the entire grassland along the road, it still takes time for the news to spread quickly.

But now Gui Lichi has been killed by Zhu Zhen, and is fleeing all the way to the Hulunbuir Prairie in the east, and wants to take away the strong men of various tribes along the way, and then form a large-scale army again to make a comeback.

Zhu Ming's heart moved, he took out the grassland map and put it on the table, and said to Batu without saying hello: "Come here and see if you can point me to the direction where Gui Lichi is currently fleeing."

Batu was stunned for a moment. When he saw the accurate picture of the grassland, he couldn't help but feel horrified. He couldn't help but secretly look at Zhu Zhen's expression and thought to himself, why could Zhongyuan have such accurate information?

It seems that the Central Plains has been preparing for the grassland for a long time.

Not to mention that Gui Lichi lost unjustly this time, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty in the Central Plains will once again step onto the grassland and even break through the Northern Yuan Royal Court again.

However, Batu Buhua soon calmed down, because now they are equivalent to putting eggs in separate baskets. If Guilichi wins, his son Batu Timur will be able to profit and be reused by Guilichi. .

And once Guilichi loses, their father and daughter have already taken refuge with the Holy Khan. Even if the Central Plains Dynasty wants to liquidate, they don't have to worry. They can even call back their son and the men in the tribe if the situation goes wrong.

It can be said to be prepared with both hands.

These prairie people are not stupid, especially these old nobles. Many of their ancestors and fathers may have even served as officials in the Central Plains. And the higher the upper class prairie people are, the more they admire Han culture and learn Chinese characters. Glory.

So they also have the cunning and intelligent side of the Central Plains people.

The cunning here is not a derogatory term, but a last resort for survival.

If Batu Buhua had not received news about his daughter and had not arrived in time, God knows whether their tribe would have been trampled upon.

With complicated thoughts in his mind, Batu Buhua began to draw Gui Lichi's escape route with his fingers.

At this time, Zhu Chu had entered the Mobei grassland from outside Zhenguan, Ningxia, and not only occupied most of the grassland on the west side, but even conquered all the way to the middle of the Hohhot prairie.

Further ahead, you have to pass Yanmen Pass, which means passing through the Shanxi border area and going straight to the Hebei border area.

"This is where our tribe is now," Batu Buhua took the initiative to point out the location of his tribe. Originally, their Ordos tribe was in the Hetao area.

But the Hetao area now belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and they were forced to leave their home territory and come to the other side, closer to the Oarabu grassland.

The ghost Lichi passed by their tribe and took away [-] strong men. He should be heading to Jining Road at this time.

Jining Road, which is the modern Ulanqab City, was set up as the Bahrain Left Wing Center Banner during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. It was also one of the four Mongolian six banners that successively submitted to the Qing court.

However, during the Yuan Dynasty, Jining Road had been set up here, and the name Jining came from this.

It turns out that there are villages on the grasslands, and there are also environments suitable for long-term living, and they are not all absolute nomads.

"That is the territory of the Tumut tribe, and the current leader is called Altan," Batu Buhua introduced the situation there.

Tatar has several well-established noble tribes. For example, Arutai was born in the Asut tribe, and Guilichi's headquarters should be called the Chahar tribe. They were considered to be great nobles canonized by Genghis Khan.

In addition, there are those from Wuyuntana, the Ordos tribe of Batu Buhua, and then there is the Tumut tribe.

As a long-established noble, their power is not bad, and this Jining Road is close to Datong Town. As one of the nine important towns, Datong Town is guarded against them.

"But, outside Yanmen Pass?" Zhu Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly and had some concerns in his mind. Why not go see the third brother?

Thinking of this, Zhu Ming made up his mind and shouted outside the account: "Call the leaders of each department, as well as the three commanders Wang Fu, Niu Sheng, and Peng Yue, to come and discuss the matter."

"Here."

Someone immediately outside the tent took the order and conveyed it.

In just a moment, the tribal leaders and several commanders and generals of the Ming army arrived at Zhu Zhen's tent.

Zhu Ming looked at the talented lineup under his tent, and couldn't help but feel satisfied, and then made his own decision: "Gui Lichi ran away all the way, taking away the strong men from all the grassland tribes along the way. He may really have to gather hundreds of thousands in the near future. Army.”

"If we don't get rid of this beast, it will definitely become a hidden danger. So I decided to continue to pursue Guilichi immediately. I won't be able to sleep until he dies."

"The whole army listens to the order and sets out for Datong Town."
