Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 145 Why? Lao Zhu: Because he is our father
The mountain behind the academy.

Fourth Master Zhu flew down in front of the exquisite little pavilion. He looked up and saw Zhao Xuanzhen in a simple and elegant dress standing in the corridor. Her black hair was pulled into a high bun, which made her skin fairer.

"You're back?" Her beautiful eyes seemed to reveal all kinds of charm in the blink of an eye.

Fourth Master Zhu felt that this woman was becoming more and more beautiful, and she must have been nourished by him during this time.

He walked over and picked up Zhao Xuanzhen arrogantly.

Zhao Xuanzhen quickly held his neck with both hands and glared: "What are you doing?"

Fourth Master Zhu walked directly to the room. After entering, he closed the door with his foot.

"It's... not dark yet..." Zhao Xuanzhen's face turned red.

She was thrown on the soft couch, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Fourth Master Zhu kissed her.

Soon, the soft couch creaked rhythmically.

Half an hour later.

Fourth Master Zhu was lying on his back, with Zhao Xuanzhen curled up in his arms, her fair arms hugging him tightly, her head resting on his shoulder, her beautiful face with a blush, making her even more charming and charming. .

"You're exposed." Fourth Master Zhu gently stroked her jade back.

"I hate it." Zhao Xuanzhen rolled her beautiful eyes at him, who didn't know how to show mercy.

"I mean, everyone in the capital now knows that I have hidden you in the back of the academy." Fourth Master Zhu hugged her waist and said.

Zhao Xuanzhen stood up in an instant, her black hair slipped, and the spring light bloomed.

She hit Fourth Master Zhu with a pair of wonderful punches: "Then you didn't tell me earlier? What if the Jin Yiwei came to arrest me?"

"I'm afraid that if you leave, I won't have another chance in the future." Fourth Master Zhu blinked.

Zhao Xuanzhen bared her teeth in anger.

Do you mean you want to have fun in the end? Regardless of my mother's safety?
"Don't worry, I will protect you." Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands, "With my ability, who can stop me?"

He stared intently at Zhao Xuanzhen, who was in full bloom. Her beauty so close at hand took his breath away.

No, I haven't had enough fun yet.

How could such a beautiful beauty be arrested? I don’t agree with my sense of justice.

……

The next day, Fengtian Hall went to court early.

After attending the court meeting, the ministers discussed matters, but no one mentioned the matter of Princess Beiyuan.

This time, Li Shanchang also learned the lesson and deliberately waited for others to mention it first. But when it was about to go to court, no one mentioned it, so he glanced at Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong understood it, but he couldn't come forward directly, so he turned his attention to Chen Ning, the imperial censor not far away.

Chen Ning, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, was demoted to Songjiang Prefecture due to the dispute between the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Governor. He performed well in the Songjiang Prefecture and was recommended by Hu Weiyong to join the Metropolitan Procuratorate and became the Censor.

Speaking of which, the last time he was demoted was due to Fourth Master Zhu. That troop deployment was caused by Fourth Master Zhu.

When Chen Ning received Hu Weiyong's eye contact, he stood up and reported: "Your Majesty, I heard that the streets and alleys in the capital are talking about the eldest princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. It is said that she is the Tanma Army Division lurking in the capital. Daru Huachi is the former shopkeeper of Feiyan Tower, Zhao Xuanzhen. But now, she is hidden in the back mountain of the academy by Fourth Master Zhu. The minister boldly petitions Your Majesty to order the arrest of Zhao Xuanzhen."

As soon as Chen Ning's report came down, several ministers immediately agreed.

They all agreed that since Zhao Xuanzhen was an enemy spy, the imperial court had the responsibility to arrest him and bring him to justice. What's more, she is the eldest princess of Beiyuan, and her status is of extremely high value to the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes swept across the crowd of ministers, and an imperceptible sneer flashed across his lips. He said in a deep voice: "Mao Xiang, please tell me."

The commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang, immediately stood up and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, I have known about this for a long time. Zhao Xuanzhen was captured by Master Zhu, and he thought it was safer to keep Zhao Xuanzhen with him. Wei Chen believed that, Fourth Master Zhu’s decision is very appropriate.”

All the ministers' eyes fell on him, and they were all shocked.

"Master Commander, what are you talking about?" Hu Weiyong shouted coldly, "Why should such an important person be placed with a Jianghu man?"

"Uh..." Mao Xiang said calmly, "With Fourth Master's sword!"

"Are you crazy?" Lu Zhongheng yelled angrily, "Do you know what you are talking about? Can't you Jin Yiwei keep an eye on Zhao Xuanzhen?"

"Everyone, General Chang Yuchun was quietly assassinated among thousands of troops. Who does my Jin Yiwei count?" Mao Xiang snorted, "My Jin Yiwei got the news that someone wants to kill Zhao Xuanzhen, but she can't die yet. , it will be of great use to my Ming Dynasty."

"Then she must be controlled by the imperial court." Tang Shengzong said angrily.

Mao Xiang's cold gaze swept across, murderous intent revealed in his eyes:
"Everyone here, let me ask you, do you know the Thirteenth Wing of Mengwu? General Chang may have been killed by them. If the Thirteenth Wing comes, who of you can stop it?"

"Master Zhu and I used Zhao Xuanzhen's plan to lure the Thirteen Wings here to avenge General Chang! You sons of bitches, you can't help, why are you here to talk nonsense? Sabotage my plan?"

"If I know who among you leaked the news, I will definitely let him go to the prison to experience it."

After he finished cursing, he bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. They forced me to curse."

All the officials in the main hall were bewildered by the scolding.

Is this another trick?

"Mao Xiang has already reported to us about Princess Beiyuan, and we know everything about it." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were like daggers, "Why do you ask Fourth Master Zhu? Why is he..."

He almost blurted out that he is our father.

However, he still held back and said coldly: "He is the number one master in the Ming Dynasty!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar. His Majesty actually valued Fourth Master Zhu so much.

Li Shanchang secretly thought it was a dangerous situation, but fortunately he didn't say anything this time.

……

After the morning session, Mao Xiang came out of Fengtian Hall and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he reported it to the emperor yesterday, and the emperor actually agreed with Fourth Master Zhu and left Zhao Xuanzhen in the back hill of the academy. Moreover, His Majesty the Emperor also discussed today's speech with him.

"Your Majesty treats Fourth Master as a true relative." Mao Xiang sighed inwardly.

He was about to go back to Jinyiwei Yamen, but before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang acted like a prime minister, with a calm demeanor and a slight smile: "Master Commander, are you not afraid that Fourth Master Zhu will lose Zhao Xuanzhen?"

Mao Xiang spread his hands and said, "If Fourth Master Zhu has the ability to catch him, he will have the ability to keep an eye on him."

Li Shanchang smiled half-heartedly: "If the eldest princess of Beiyuan is lost, Fourth Master Zhu will be guilty of a big sin."

The corner of Mao Xiang's mouth curled up into a sneer.

He secretly mocked Li Shanchang and this group of noble Huaixi nobles in his heart, why don't they give up? If you want to kill Fourth Master Zhu, it will be your worst decision.

"Then you don't have to worry about it, Prime Minister." Mao Xiang sneered.

After saying that, he strode away and sprayed in the court today, venting his depression for days and feeling refreshed now.

As for having grudges with courtiers?
The day he became the commander of the Jinyiwei, he didn't care about this anymore.

Because the emperor wanted the courtiers to sweat profusely when they saw him.

Li Shanchang watched Mao Xiang go away, a chill flashing in his eyes. Hu Weiyong, who was standing next to him, snorted coldly: "Isn't it just a dog? What's the air?"

"But he is His Majesty's dog." Li Shanchang chuckled.

"Prime Minister, this is an opportunity to kill Fourth Master Zhu. We can't give up like this." Hu Weiyong said. "No hurry!" Li Shanchang said coldly, "If Zhao Xuanzhen is lost or dies, will Fourth Master Zhu be guilty of a serious crime?"

Hu Weiyong was stunned.

It seems that Li Shanchang is full of confidence.

……

The mountain behind the academy is filled with mist and the scenery is pleasant.

Fourth Master Zhu is training hard. His upper body is bare and his muscles are well defined. Holding a huge boulder in each hand, he squatted and stood up, his movements powerful and smooth. Sweat fell from his forehead, reflecting his angular face.

Zhao Xuanzhen, who was wearing a long purple dress, knelt down beside the table gently and elegantly, gently pinching the tea leaves with her slender jade fingers and putting them into the teapot.

There was a gentle smile on her beautiful face, and her narrow eyes were a bit lazy and charming, and she seemed to enjoy making tea.

After making a cup of tea, she picked it up and took a sip slowly, her eyes falling on Fourth Master Zhu who was training downstairs.

She didn't seem to be worried at all about her whereabouts being exposed.

"Master, Mistress." Zhu Di hurriedly came up from the mountain, "I have good news for you. The imperial court will not come to arrest Master."

Zhao Xuanzhen's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise.

She guessed that this must be done by Fourth Master Zhu, but how did he do it as a Jianghu man?
Zhu Di ran up to Fourth Master Zhu and waved: "Master, Mao Xiang asked me to tell you to put your heart in your pelvis. The court has taken care of it. But you can't let Bei Yuan... let Master Niang lose it. .”

"Haha, she throws it every night, many times." Fourth Master Zhu continued to squat.

"Ah? Mistress, does she lose it every night?" Zhu Di looked up at Zhao Xuanzhen on the second floor of the attic in confusion.

"Yes, I shout every night, I'm about to lose it, I'm going to lose it." Fourth Master Zhu dropped the boulder in his hand, looked up at Zhao Xuanzhen and raised an eyebrow, "Isn't that right?"

Zhao Xuanzhen blushed and gave him a sharp look: "What kind of master are you?"

Zhu Di was even more confused and didn't understand at all.

Fourth Master Zhu kicked him: "Okay, you go and give me more food and drink to go up the mountain. I estimate that I will have to stay in the mountain for a while."

A charming smile appeared on Zhao Xuanzhen's lips: "That's not necessary. Since everyone knows I'm hiding here, I can go down the mountain."

Fourth Master Zhu was stunned.

Zhao Xuanzhen sighed softly: "I just wanted to go back to Feiyan Tower for a visit."

Fourth Master Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up again.

With Feiyan in Feiyan Tower and Zhao Xuanzhen, his long-held idea can be realized.

……

Fourth Master Zhu took Zhao Xuanzhen back to Feiyan Tower.

The girls in the building cried excitedly when they saw her coming back.

Fourth Master Zhu knew that if Zhao Xuanzhen's identity was revealed, it would definitely be accompanied by danger, so he almost didn't leave the building and lived a life without shame.

It wasn't until his waist couldn't bear it anymore that he realized that men can't indulge in gentleness, as it can easily sap their ambition.

Therefore, he retreated in the building and prohibited sexual intercourse with women.

This night.

The moonlight was hazy and the heat was oppressive. Fourth Master Zhu, who was sitting cross-legged in the room meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, and a light flashed in his eyes.

Swish!
The six-foot-long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and his whole body shot into the sky like an arrow from the string. Accompanied by a loud bang.

Bang!

The roof was broken through easily by him, and he landed firmly on the roof, facing a man in black who was retreating continuously.

"Spying on me?" Mr. Zhu said with a long sword, "You pervert!"

As he slashed with his sword, the violent sword energy was suddenly released, sweeping away like a raging frenzy.

啷~
There was a sword roar, and the man in black stabbed with his sword.

The sword energy and sword energy crisscrossed each other, unparalleledly sharp, and each collision produced a crisp metallic collision sound.

clang!
The two of them exchanged moves and retreated at the same time, with shock in their eyes.

Fourth Master Zhu was secretly frightened. He met another master. He was not weak to the master of the Earth Sect. Why are there so many masters recently? Have I come to the world of martial arts?
"Ah~"

Suddenly, a scream came from downstairs, it was Zhao Xuanzhen's voice.

Fourth Master Zhu did not hesitate at all and flew down. He saw Zhao Xuanzhen facing off against a man in black.

Zhao Xuanzhen's long sword is as powerful as a swimming dragon, and her moves are fierce and decisive. However, the man in black was obviously stronger than her, and his sword moves were cunning and sinister. Zhao Xuanzhen had already been hit in the shoulder by the sword.

call out!
The man in black suddenly felt a terrifying sword energy, and the next moment, he saw a brilliant and incomparable sword light coming towards him.

clang!
He raised his sword to block, and the sword broke with a sound, but the terrifying sword energy did not dissipate and directly penetrated the big tree behind.

"What a crazy knife!" The man in black flew and landed on the roof, standing side by side with another man in black.

"If you have the seed, let it go!" Fourth Master Zhu clenched the knife in his hand.

"Next time, I will kill you!" The two men in black sneered and flew away.

Fourth Master Zhu quickly turned around to look at Zhao Xuanzhen behind him.

Zhao Xuanzhen frowned slightly, enduring the pain: "Why are you watching? Help me bandage the wound."

Fourth Master Zhu shrugged: "I didn't expect that your swordsmanship is very good."

Zhao Xuanzhen glared at him angrily, and she was also secretly shocked. Although she was not a top expert in Beiyuan, her swordsmanship was also first-rate. Today, she could not beat the man in black.

……

The next day, Wenhua Hall.

The Grand Governor Li Wenzhong went up to the palace, hurriedly walking, with doubts on his face, and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, there is news from Beiyuan that they are going to send a mission to take back their eldest princess. For this reason, they are willing to release our captive."

Zhu Yuanzhang's hand that was criticizing Zhezi suddenly stopped, and he snorted: "The news spreads really fast, do you want to exchange prisoners, right? Okay, let them come!"

"I will reply immediately." Li Wenzhong bowed.

"This time when their delegation comes to Beijing, you send troops to escort them all the way." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, "Pay attention and observe, we feel that the person who comes here is not good."

"According to the order." Li Wenzhong nodded.

"Also, why don't you take Nai'er with you?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "Let him meet his old friends."

Li Wenzhong knew in his heart that His Majesty was worried about Naier Buhua, even though he had surrendered for two years.

After Zhu Yuanzhang watched Li Wenzhong leave, he frowned and thought for a moment, and immediately summoned Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

The Beiyuan delegation is coming. For the sake of the eldest princess, Mao Xiang has to inform Fourth Master Zhu.

Why not notify yourself?

Then Fourth Master Zhu saw that the beauty was about to be replaced, why didn't he get angry? Let Mao Xiang bear the Fourth Master's anger.
