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

Chapter 233 The master behind Zhu Yuanzhang shocked the Fourth Master

Huitong Pavilion.

Chi Shang's face was as gloomy as water, and he suddenly smashed the table with his palm. His ferocious laughter was full of threats: "Hmph, if you really make me anxious, I will spread poison all over the capital! How can I, as the son of a poisonous man, be here? Humiliated?"

"Don't forget the purpose of our trip!" Xianfang said coldly, "If you lose something because of a small thing, you will be imprisoned in a poisonous cave when you go back." "You..." Chi Shang gritted his teeth.

"You were defeated at the hands of a child and were humiliated for the Twelve Cave. You didn't know how to work hard and only knew how to vent your anger on innocent people. If Mr. Po knew that you were so worthless, would you still want to become the master of the cave?" Xianfang His eyes were full of sarcasm.

Chi Shang glared at Xianfang angrily, but was speechless. His anger was aroused by Xianfang's sarcasm. His fists were clenched and veins popped out on his forehead. Duan Shi, who was watching the commotion on the side, finally stood up to smooth things over and chuckled: "Master Chi, you have to be patient. This is not Miao territory after all."

"Forbearance? You know how to endure!" Chi Shang sneered, "That Witch Queen looks down on us. The Ming Emperor didn't summon us at all and didn't take it seriously at all."

"Then you challenge the Witch Queen!"

"You..." Chi Shang's eyes were almost split.

He has been suppressed by the talented Xianfang since he was a child. He is not the best among the young generation in Twelve Dong. Although he is the son of a poisonous man, he is laughed at by many people behind his back.

"What's wrong with me just killing a brothel girl? I want to kill her again!" Chi Shang was completely angered by Xianfang's words and roared.

Suddenly, a cold voice came from outside: "It turns out you really killed Narcissus, so take your life!"

boom!
The door suddenly shattered, and Fourth Master Zhu flew in and rushed towards Chi Shang. Chi Shang was furious. He raised his hand and released countless insects, roaring: "Die, all of them die!"

Fourth Master Zhu raised his arm and smashed it down, condensing Haoran Qi, causing the surrounding air to fluctuate violently. In an instant, those Gu insects dissipated like crushed dust.

Chi Shang was horrified and waved his arms in fear, wanting to release the Gu worm again. But Fourth Master Zhu had already come to him and pointed on his forehead. A majestic energy instantly poured into Chi Shang's mind and hit his internal organs along his blood vessels.

boom! puff!
After a muffled sound, Chi Shang spat out a mouthful of blood as if he had been hit hard, and fell heavily to the ground. His eyes were full of horror and unwillingness: "It's impossible...my Gu actually broke..."

Before he finished speaking, he twitched several times and died completely.

All this happened so fast that Duan Shi and Xianfang had no time to save people.

……

"It's over, Chi Shang is dead." Duan Shi's face turned pale, "He is the son of Duke Du, you just wait to suffer Duke Du's wrath."

"Poison Master?" Fourth Master Zhu sneered disdainfully, "Then I will destroy Twelve Cave and see what he can do to me!"

Xianfang took a deep breath and tried to calm down the shock in her heart. She turned to Fourth Master Zhu solemnly, bowed slightly and saluted: "I dare to ask, senior, are you the Ming Emperor?"

Fourth Master Zhu glanced at the crowd coldly, his voice as cold as frost: "Why did you come to Beijing this time? Could it be that you are not seeking peace, but have ulterior motives?"

When Duan Shi heard this, he quickly bowed and saluted, and explained with sincerity: "Your Majesty Mingjian, we do come to seek peace with sincerity. But the court ignores us, and we are really at our wits' end."

"The Duan family of Dali." A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Mr. Zhu's lips, "I didn't expect that there would be unworthy descendants like you."

He remembered the TV series he watched in his previous life, including Dali Duan's Yi Yang Finger, Six Meridians Divine Sword and so on. He spread his hands and said: "It is said that the Duan family's martial arts is very domineering. I'll give it a try."

Duan Shi smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed: "This junior knows that he is no match for the Supreme Emperor, otherwise Chi Shang would not have died here."

"You have to take action even if you don't take action." Fourth Master Zhu's eyes were serious, "I am still angry and will continue to kill people."

He exuded a strong murderous aura and instantly enveloped the entire room. Duan Shi and Xianfang's expressions changed drastically, and they felt an unprecedented sense of oppression. Xianfang tried to activate the Gu worms in her body to fight back, but to her horror, those Gu worms seemed to feel the terrifying aura of Master Zhu and showed no reaction at all.

There was a chill in her heart. She had never encountered such a powerful master before, and she was suppressed to death. However, she did not give up her struggle, but tried to calm down and respectfully saluted Fourth Master Zhu: "Your Majesty, the murderer has been executed, do you still want to implicate the innocent?"

"Yes!" Mr. Zhu's voice was cold and firm, "What can you do to me?"

Duan Shi was paralyzed. This emperor was so overbearing and unreasonable. Despair filled his heart. Was he going to die here? If I had known earlier, I would not have come to the capital of Ming Dynasty.

……

"Your Majesty." Xianfang bowed and said, "How about I exchange a piece of information for the lives of our mission?"

"That depends on whether the information is worth it." Fourth Master Zhu snorted.

"Absolutely worth it!" Xianfang walked up to him, leaned closer, and whispered, "The jade seal passed down from the Central Plains is at Twelve Cave in the Miao Territory. It was brought by the crown prince of the Later Tang Dynasty."

"Seriously?" Fourth Master Zhu was secretly shocked, staring at Xianfang closely.

"It's absolutely true, but I can't get it." Xianfang frowned slightly, "The national jade seal is protected by a kind of Gu."

"Okay, I will spare your lives. I hope you can take care of yourself." Fourth Master Zhu waved his sleeves and left.

He wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang the news. The Jade Seal of the State was made by the First Emperor of Qin using He's jade. On the front, there are eight seal characters engraved on it: "Ordered by Heaven, you will live long and prosperous." When emperors of all dynasties received it, they expressed that they were orthodox and had been given by Heaven. But this imperial seal was lost in the Later Tang Dynasty and never appeared again.

It is really possible that he went to Miao territory, otherwise there must have been clues to the imperial seal passed down in the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and the emperors all wanted to get it. Fourth Master Zhu hurriedly came to Wenhua Hall, but did not see Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that he had gone to Wuying Hall.

Fourth Master Zhu flew to Wuying Hall, barged in directly, and shouted: "Zhu Chongba, come out!"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the side hall of Wuying Hall with two old men. One of the old men, Mr. Zhu had seen before, was Mr. Li who followed Zhu Biao when he went to Fengyang that year.

"Dad, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

"I have something to tell you." Fourth Master Zhu glanced at the two old men and asked, "Who are these two?"

"This is Mr. Li. He is the only remaining lineage of alchemists. His ancestors made great achievements during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the old man in green and said, "This is Mr. Wei, the only pre-Qin Qi practitioner who has been handed down. I can live to this day thanks to them." "See the Supreme Emperor." The two old men bowed together.

"So you are the masters behind Chongba." Fourth Master Zhu smiled.

He was secretly shocked that there were no alchemists after the Han Dynasty, but there was still one beside Zhu Yuanzhang. The alchemists were too mysterious and he didn't understand them well.

As for the Qi Refiners in the Pre-Qin Dynasty, they are even more mysterious. The Pre-Qin Dynasty was an era full of mysterious legends, and the Qi Refiners disappeared mysteriously after the Qin Dynasty.

"Dad, why do you want to see me so urgently?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask, as if he wanted to change the subject.

Fourth Master Zhu knew it, but he did not ask the two old men for more details. After all, this was Zhu Yuanzhang's trump card. He paused and said solemnly: "I already know the whereabouts of the Imperial Seal. It is hidden in the Twelve Cave in the Miao Territory!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "No wonder it has not been found in the Central Plains for hundreds of years. However, that thing is just a symbol to us and is not very important."

However, Mr. Li and Mr. Wei seemed extremely excited. Mr. Li hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the significance of the national jade seal is far more than this! If we can get it, we can ease the Zhu family's current predicament!"

Mr. Wei also responded eagerly: "Yes! Isn't the Zhu family very lucky? Aren't they worried that the greatest prosperity will inevitably lead to decline? If you get the Chuan Guo Jade Seal, the Chuan Guo Jade Seal can withstand part of the luck and ease the Zhu family's current predicament. , although it still can’t be solved in the end, at least it can be alleviated for a few decades, and we will have enough time to find a solution.”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Fourth Master Zhu were both overjoyed, and they must get the imperial seal. Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said: "Then we will conquer the King of Liang first? Let's go back and discuss it with the generals."

"We don't necessarily need to send out a large army." Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands, "I'll take a quick trip and I'll catch you."

"Absolutely not!" Mr. Li hurriedly dissuaded him, "The Twelve Cave in the Miao Territory is strange and mysterious, and the martial arts of the Central Plains may not be able to be used there. Your Majesty, please don't be careless about this matter!"

"Mr. Li is right." Mr. Wei said solemnly, "We don't know anything about voodoo. If we go there rashly, we will be in danger."

After listening to the words of the two old men, Fourth Master Zhu fell into deep thought. He also felt that he could not act rashly.

……

Come out of Wuying Palace.

The father and son walked slowly on the royal road. Zhu Yuanzhang frowned tightly: "Since the Imperial Seal can alleviate the Zhu family's predicament, we must get it. But dad, we don't want you to take risks."

Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands and asked helplessly: "In your opinion, what should we do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and said firmly: "This matter is not urgent. According to the latest intelligence from Jinyiwei, King Liang not only sent a mission to us, but also secretly sent a mission to Beiyuan."

"Humph, as a descendant of Kublai Khan, King Liang naturally loves Bei Yuan. He will never truly surrender to the Ming Dynasty." Fourth Master Zhu snorted coldly.

"I know this too." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "But if they unite and launch an offensive from the north and the south at the same time, it will indeed be a big trouble for us. When the Ming Dynasty was first built, what we need is Recuperating and recuperating, we are temporarily unable to cope with a two-front battle."

"You're right, this matter does need long-term consideration." Fourth Master Zhu nodded, "I'll leave the war to you. I will go and learn more about Miao's Gu skills. When I am fully prepared, I will Let’s go to Miaojiang Twelve Cave to find out.”

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his father's words.

"By the way, can you lend me the two masters next to you?" Fourth Master Zhu suddenly asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "It's best not to. Their main responsibility is to protect the safety of the palace. Although the world is peaceful now, everything is afraid of eventuality. The palace is filled with the royal family of the Zhu family. If something goes wrong, What's wrong, how can we afford it?"

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Fourth Master Zhu gently patted him on the shoulder. He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang had lost relatives since he was a child, so he paid special attention to the safety of his family. However, fate always seems to be playing tricks on him, making him constantly face the pain of losing loved ones.

"Chongba, you are right to do this." Fourth Master Zhu encouraged, "Protecting the safety of your family is more important than anything else."

He secretly made a vow in his heart that he would do his best to prevent those tragedies from happening. The fifteenth year of Hongwu and the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu are two critical time points, and there is still time to change.

……

At night, we will stay together in the hotel.

Wu Yu came quietly to Xianfang's door like a ghost. Her arrival was silent, not even disturbed by the breeze. Xianfang's voice came faintly through the door: "Witch Queen, since you are here, please come in."

"There is some bad news." Wu Yu pushed open the door and walked in with a slight frown on his eyebrows. "There was news from the palace that the love poison for the prince failed. The bug was spat out and died."

Xianfang was concentrating on making tea. When she heard the news, she did not raise her head, but said softly: "As expected, if everyone could be easily infected, we would have been invincible. Chi Shang's original proposal ”

"Fortunately, the palace was not alarmed." Wu Yu sat down slowly, with a hint of relief in his tone, "I heard that the Supreme Emperor once came in person and killed Chi Shang with one move?"

"He deserves to die!" Xianfang snorted coldly, her tone full of disdain.

"If Duke Du knew about this, I'm afraid he would be furious, right?" Wu Yu smiled slightly, as if looking forward to the next good show, "After all, Chi Shang is Duke Du's only son."

"So," Xianfang raised her head, a cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes, "I have sent a message to Duke Du. He will definitely come to the capital, and there will be a good show by then."

"Hahaha, the saint is indeed very clever!" Wu Yumei smiled and clapped her hands in praise, "Indeed, only by making the capital more lively can the Zhu family get into more trouble."

Xianfang poured Wu Yu a cup of fragrant tea and took a sip from the cup herself. She seemed to enjoy this moment of tranquility and the fragrance of tea. After thinking about it for a long time, she sighed softly: "It's a pity that these actions can't really shake the overall situation of the Zhu family."

"Yes, just wait a few more years!" Wu Yu said with a smile, "The Zhu family's misfortune will continue. Except for him, Zhu Yuanzhang, anyone may face misfortune."

"Then I'm really looking forward to it." Xianfang smiled slightly.

She and Wu Yu looked at each other, a hint of cunning and expectation flashed in their eyes. They knew that a bigger storm was quietly brewing.

　At the beginning of the month, please give me a monthly pass, guys.
