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

Chapter 156 Zhu Biao is confused: Grandpa is missing again!
At dusk, the golden afterglow shines on the white walls of the inn, adding a bit of quaint charm to it. The convoy slowly arrived at this inn and stayed here tonight.

Zhao Xuanzhen jumped out of the carriage lightly. She frowned slightly and seemed a little tired. After gently signaling to Fourth Master Zhu, she went back to her room to rest early, leaving Fourth Master Zhu to have dinner with Zhu Biao.

Next to Zhu Biao, an old man in purple stood quietly. His eyes were deep, his posture was upright, and he exuded an extraordinary temperament. Fourth Master Zhu was not surprised when he saw this. After all, when the prince travels, there must be experts guarding him.

"Fourth Master, this is Mr. Li." Zhu Biao introduced both parties, his tone full of respect.

Mr. Li, who was dressed in purple, smiled slightly at Fourth Master Zhu, clasped his fists and saluted, "Fourth Master, I have admired your name for a long time. I am glad to see you today. I am honored to meet you."

Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands indifferently and said with a smile: "I am just a person from the world, how can I be famous?"

There was a bit of self-deprecation and ease in his tone.

The three of them sat around a simple table with four plates of ordinary dishes: one plate of meat, one plate of pickles, and two plates of green vegetables. Although the dishes were simple, the three of them ate them with gusto.

At the same time, the Imperial Guards were also dining in the courtyard of the inn. They lit blazing torches, sat around the campfire, and chatted about their experiences during the journey while enjoying dinner.

During the dinner, Mr. Li showed great interest in Fourth Master Zhu's martial arts attainments. He asked with a smile: "Fourth Master's martial arts are fierce and domineering. I wonder who he is from?"

"Poison King, your poison skills are getting more and more powerful." Zhebie looked around, looking at the unconscious Forbidden Army on the ground and the silent inn, and couldn't help but sigh.

……

Fourth Master Zhu blinked and spread his hands helplessly: "Hey, I said I was self-taught, do you believe it?"

However, just when they were about to light the torch, a strong sense of dizziness hit them. Their minds were confused and their bodies fell involuntarily.

His eyes were full of recognition and appreciation for Fourth Master Zhu.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. We have to hurry up and act!" Wu Yu interrupted the conversation between the two, and she glanced around with a cold look.

Mr. Li laughed loudly when he heard this and nodded in praise: "Believe it! Martial arts in the world were originally created by predecessors. Fourth Master is extremely talented. It is not surprising that he can create his own martial arts."

Fourth Master Zhu took a sip of wine, pondered for a while and said, "Hey, I'm not sure. I hope I can figure it out this time when I return to Fengyang."

……

Not long after, everyone in the station fell into a coma, and the entire station fell into deathly silence.

"Quick! Light the torches!" The patrols realized that the situation was not good and hurriedly tried to light the torches to disperse the strange fog.

"Hmph, it's a pity that my poison can't spread over a wide area, otherwise these guys would have died long ago." The Poison King snorted coldly.

After a tiring day's journey, everyone went to bed early after dinner.

As time went by, the fog around the station became thicker and thicker, like a huge magic shield that tightly enveloped the entire station. In the thick fog, there is a confused world, and even the companions close in front of you cannot see clearly.

The patrolling Imperial Guards were also yawning constantly, but they were holding on to their spirits. There was no room for negligence in protecting the Crown Prince.

Then, she moved and flew up to the second floor of the inn lightly. When Zhebie and Du Wang saw this, they immediately followed him.

late at night.

"Eh? Why is this fog getting thicker and thicker?" A patrolman suddenly frowned and looked around in confusion.

Zhu Biao also smiled and asked: "Fourth Master, I heard that you are also from Fengyang?"

At this moment, three figures quietly emerged from the mist, none other than Wu Yu, Zhebie and Poison King. Their expressions were stern, and their eyes revealed fierce murderous intent.

"Yes, this fog is indeed unusually heavy." Another soldier agreed. Their sight was blocked by the thick fog, and even their companions who were close at hand became blurred.

As soon as Wu Yu landed, he saw a brilliant sword light coming out of the broken window in the room, sweeping over like lightning. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she quickly struck out with her palm, shattering the flying sword light.

There was a loud bang, the surrounding void shook, and air waves surged. Wu Yu's figure swayed and he took several steps back before regaining his balance. After the sword light dissipated, a man was seen standing in the corridor holding a six-foot-long sword with flying silver hair. It was Fourth Master Zhu.

"Hey, your target is really the prince." Fourth Master Zhu sneered, with a chill in his eyes, "If you can't defeat him on the battlefield, why don't you resort to such despicable means as assassination?"

"Fourth Master, since you are looking for death, then I will help you." Wu Yu's eyes were cold and he winked at Zhebie and Poison King. The three of them formed a siege and surrounded Fourth Master Zhu in the middle.

Fourth Master Zhu glanced at the three of them, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile that was not a smile. He was not afraid, but full of fighting spirit.

Zhebie drew his bow and arrow and aimed at Fourth Master Zhu. The Poison King laughed ferociously, exuding a rich purple energy and approaching Fourth Master Zhu. The two of them, one far away and one close, cooperated tacitly and wanted to take down Fourth Master Zhu in one fell swoop.

However, at this moment, the window of the prince's room next door broke open instantly. Two figures rushed out like ghosts and pounced directly on Zhebie and Poison King. The two sides instantly fell into a melee, and the two men fought equally well with Zhebie and Poison King. Especially the woman in red, completely ignored the poisonous attack of the Poison King.

Fourth Master Zhu saw this and was secretly frightened. He originally thought that the old man in purple clothes beside the prince would take action, but he did not expect that there were other masters beside the prince. The strength of these people cannot be underestimated.

"Retreat!" Wu Yu saw that the situation was not good and decisively ordered a retreat. She could see that the other party was well prepared and had good strength. This operation can no longer cast a spell on the prince, and continuing to entangle him will only be detrimental to himself.

"Don't go." Fourth Master Zhu dodged and chased after Wu Yu, trying to intercept Wu Yu. However, Wu Yu chuckled: "Fourth Master, if you have the guts, come after me." Before she finished speaking, her figure had turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the night.

Fourth Master Zhu chased after him.

The two figures shuttled through the night sky as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye they were out of the range of the inn, rushing towards the distance. Wu Yu moved forward quickly and seemed to have no intention of stopping.

And Fourth Master Zhu also followed closely behind her.

……

Swish!Swish!
The two flew down to the river, and in an instant, they exchanged moves in the air.

"Fourth Master, we had no enmity in the past and have no enmity today, so why bother pushing each other so hard?" Wu Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, his eyes as charming as silk.

"Did you use the same method to assassinate Chang Yuchun?" Mr. Zhu's eyes were like daggers.

"Yes, but that has nothing to do with me." Wu Yu spread his hands in an understatement, "That was the joint effort of Poison King and Chi Laowen, and Chang Yuchun was also a bit stupid."

"In that case, I killed Chi Laowen, and he deserved his death." Fourth Master Zhu sneered again and again, with murderous intent.

"It turns out that you are really killing me!" Wu Yu's voice was cold, and a cold light flashed in his beautiful eyes, "Then I can't let you go!"

Before he finished speaking, the two of them moved at the same time. It was like two meteors colliding fiercely in the night sky, causing the surrounding void to seem distorted. Wu Yu's centuries-old skills are no small matter. Her aura surged, and her moves were deadly. Fourth Master Zhu also had a powerful aura, and the long sword in his hand bloomed with a dazzling blood-red light.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and the two exchanged moves. Wu Yu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a proud smile. Her palm suddenly released a rich purple energy, shrouding Fourth Master Zhu.

"Poisonous!" Fourth Master Zhu was caught off guard and inhaled part of the purple gas. He suddenly felt dizzy and his internal energy was not functioning smoothly.

"Hahaha, Fourth Master, only women and villains are difficult to care for, and it is dangerous to get close to them." Wu Yu sneered, with pride and ridicule in his words.

puff!
Fourth Master Zhu spat out a mouthful of black blood and his body was shaking. He stood with his sword in place, forcibly supporting his body so as not to fall. However, the poison has invaded his meridians, and even his iron-clad body cannot resist it.

"Very poisonous! Even Fourth Master, you can't handle it." Wu Yu flew to the ground and looked at Fourth Master Zhu up and down with a pair of beautiful eyes.

puff!
Fourth Master Zhu spurted out another mouthful of black blood, and the knife could no longer support him.

Bang!

He fell to the ground.

Wu Yu sneered and strode towards Fourth Master Zhu. She didn't want this man to die yet, so it would be useful to stay.

When she walked to Fourth Master Zhu, suddenly, Fourth Master Zhu on the ground suddenly rose up and punched her. She was caught off guard and could only wave her palms to resist.

boom!
The fists and palms met and made a deafening sound! Fourth Master Zhu used his last strength to launch the most powerful killing move! Wu Yu felt that his internal organs suddenly surged, as if they were about to collapse.

puff puff~
She spurted out several mouthfuls of blood and spilled it onto the ground, turning it red! In the end, her legs weakened and she knelt on the ground with one hand on the ground to barely prevent herself from falling!

"It's better now. I can't move anymore." Fourth Master Zhu looked at Wu Yu with a sneer.

Although he was also suffering from severe poison, he had the upper hand at the moment. As long as he could recover first, he could easily kill Wu Yu.

"Well, it depends on who can bear it!" Wu Yu gritted his teeth and sat up cross-legged and began to perform exercises to heal his injuries.

Both of them understood that whoever recovered from the current situation could control the other's life and death, so they both tried their best to heal their injuries and regain their strength.

……

Station.

Na Zhebie and Poison King ran away.

Everyone woke up from their drowsiness, the poison was dispersed by the woman in red, and the Forbidden Army began to patrol again.

Prince Zhu Biao asked loudly and urgently: "Where is Fourth Master Zhu? Where is Fourth Master Zhu?"

Mr. Li in purple clothes reported to him: "Your Highness, Fourth Master is chasing the female assassin."

"You've been gone for so long and you haven't come back yet?" Zhu Biao was very worried.

Zhao Xuanzhen came out of the room, her face also full of anxiety: "Don't chase the poor bandit. What if the other party has an ambush?"

At this time, a forbidden soldier hurriedly came up to report: "Your Highness, our people have searched the surrounding area, but they have not found Fourth Master Zhu."

Zhu Biao is numb!

Grandpa won’t lose it again, right? How are you going to explain to your father this time?
