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

Chapter 239 Zhu Biao tearfully sends his brothers off: The Zhu family depends on the Zhu family

On the mountain behind the academy, the autumn wind rustled by like a knife.

Today is the day when the princes come to the back mountain to practice martial arts, so it is very lively. King Zhu Chong of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Ji of Wu, and King Zhu Zhen of Chu are practicing martial arts.

The King of Yan, Zhu Di, stood on a huge stone, with his hands behind his back, looking like a strict teacher, scolding everyone mercilessly:

"Look at you, after practicing for so long, why are you still so weak? You are so stupid!"

"Second brother, are you practicing boxing? Your arms and legs are as thin as hemp stalks. You need to strengthen your body. Make yourself strong first."

"Lao San, why are you staring at me? Are you dissatisfied? I can break the knife skills you practiced with just one blow."

"Old five and six, don't tell me that you are young. Back then, I started practicing when you were your age. Look at you now, you still want to join my Zhatian Gang? What a daydream."

The princes were gnashing their teeth while practicing, but they dared not speak out in anger. None of them could beat Zhu Di together. They can only practice hard, thinking about one day pressing Zhu Di to the ground and rubbing him.

After Zhu Di finished reprimanding him, he lay leisurely on the boulder, enjoying the sunshine, and sighed: "Oh, it's so boring. When can I go into battle to kill the enemy?"

She enthusiastically invited all the princes to come over for snacks. The princes gathered around one after another, devouring the delicious snacks, and did not forget to praise: "It's delicious...it's so delicious...the snacks made by the Dowager Empress are better than The queen’s is even more delicious.”

……

At this moment, a clear and sweet voice came: "Children, come and have a snack."

Huan'er put her hands on her hips with a satisfied look on her face.

"Toffee Princess... let go quickly... let go..." Zhu Di grinned in pain, "Isn't this just to train them?"

The princes were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and the snacks in their hands fell one after another. King Zhu Ping of Qin shouted in horror: "These bugs are coming for us. Aren't we going to be eaten to the point where no bones are left?"

Suddenly there was a strange noise in the ears of the people gathered on the boulder. Zhu Di was keenly aware that something was wrong. He stood up and looked down, and suddenly exclaimed: "Insects! Where are there so many insects?"

King Zhu Fan of Jin responded while practicing his sword: "My dear concubine, the fourth child won't let us eat today."

A cold voice came down: "I didn't expect that, kid, your physique is different from ordinary people, and you can actually repel insects! Very good, I will take you back and make you a medicine man."

"I must listen to you, the concubine. Even my mother and queen must listen to you." Zhu Di said with a smile on his face.

Under the boulder, densely packed insects surged upward like a tide, and the murderous aura emanating from them was frightening. Huan'er recognized the origin of these bugs at a glance. Her expression suddenly changed and she cried out, "They are Gu bugs!"

"Then what do I want them to eat?" Wen'er still pressed fiercely.

More and more bugs came from all directions, surrounding everyone on the boulder. Facing this unprecedented horrific scene, even the normally brave Weinger felt chills running down her spine and was helpless.

Zhu Di held his forehead and complained in his heart, brothers, don't be deceived by her. Back then, she was a little expert at cutting people, and she would kill people if she disagreed.

When Wu'er heard this, her beautiful eyes widened. She walked straight to Zhu Di who was lying on the boulder, reached out and grabbed his ears, and lifted him up: "Are you bullying your brothers again? You don't let them eat. ?”

Everyone looked up and saw a middle-aged man with light cyan skin walking out of the woods. He had a majestic figure and gave people a strange and terrifying sense of oppression. His eyes swept across the crowd sinisterly, and finally settled on Zhu Di with a fierce look. He said: "Today, you all have to be buried with my son."

He took off his pants neatly and peed in a circle along the boulder. What was shocking was that the Gu insects retreated and no longer dared to get close to the boulder. Zhu Di laughed triumphantly: "Quack, quack, my pee is invincible!"

Wen'er came over carrying an exquisite basket. She smiled and waved, "These are snacks made by me."

Rustling...Russling...

Seeing that the bugs were about to climb up the boulder, Zhu Di shouted: "Get away, I'll piss on them."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Weier let go of her hand with satisfaction.

"Who are you!" Wen'er shouted sharply.

"Miaojiang Poison Lord!" the middle-aged man said coldly.

Zhu Di instantly understood that this was Chi Shang's father, and he must have come for revenge. He decisively said to Du Jing: "Senior, are you here to avenge your son? This has nothing to do with us? You go to Fourth Master Zhu. If you don’t know where he is, I’ll show you the way.”

After he finished speaking, the other princes all glared at him and cursed in their hearts, "That's our grandfather. Fourth, you betrayed your grandfather without any hesitation?"
……

"No need, I will kill you, and I will wait here for him." Du Gong's whole body was filled with a gloomy murderous aura. "If he doesn't come, I will go straight to the palace and let the entire Zhu family bury my son with him."

"Is there really no room for negotiation?" Zhu Di spread his hands helplessly.

"Suffer death!" Du Gong shouted sternly.

He suddenly stretched out his hand forward, and a blue Gu insect slowly crawled out from his palm. As soon as this Gu worm appeared, the surrounding Gu worms that were originally besieging the boulder seemed to be greatly frightened, and they all rushed towards the boulder crazily.

"What can we do? What should we do?" King Qin Zhu Xiang shouted anxiously.

"What else can we do? We can only fight to the death!" Jin King Zhu Fan shouted, "You and I are brothers here. We must break through a bloody path to let the younger brother escape first."

Suddenly, hearing a scolding sound, Zhu Di slashed his palm with a knife, and blood spurted out. He quickly waved his arm, blood splashed everywhere, and the charging Gu insects suddenly twitched a few times and died after being drenched in blood. Even the blue Gu worm stopped moving immediately after smelling Zhu Di's blood, as if it was very frightened.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this, and Huer also asked in surprise: "Zhu Di, your blood can actually poison Gu insects?"

Zhu Di spread his hands again and replied with a wry smile: "Who am I, young master? I am full of treasures."

A look of surprise flashed across Du Gong's face. He stared at Zhu Di and looked up and down carefully: "You really surprised me. I didn't expect that this trip to the Central Plains would bring such an unexpected harvest. You may very well It’s the Gu God Body that we in Miaojiang Twelve Cave have been searching for for thousands of years.”

"Gu God Body? Is it amazing?" Zhu Di shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Since I am so important, young master, then you can just arrest me. Let my brothers go, they are all useless, you kill them It doesn’t make any difference.”

"Fourth brother, what nonsense are you talking about? If you want to arrest me, arrest me. I am your third brother." King Zhu Fan of Jin stepped forward.

"It's better to arrest me...after all, I am the second brother." King Qin Zhu Xi also said timidly.

"Humph, there's no need to argue. You'll all die today!" Du Gong laughed ferociously, and suddenly jumped up and attacked everyone. …

choke!
A sharp sword light pierced the sky, Du Gong's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly dodged, but was still forced back by the sword energy. He steadied himself and asked sternly: "Who is coming?"

Zhang Xuansu held a long sword in his hand and stepped forward in the air. His voice was as cold as ice: "I don't want to commit more murders, but today, I will kill you with the sword!"

After saying this, his body was like lightning, and he rushed towards the poisonous male. Du Gong's face was distorted, and poisonous mist surrounded him. He kept releasing poisonous insects, and at the same time he sneered: "Humph, a mere Taoist priest dares to get close to me? You are looking for death...ah..."

Zhang Xuansu actually ignored the insects and poisonous mist, and penetrated the poisonous man with a lightning-like sword. Du Gong let out a long, shrill and unwilling roar, and struck Zhang Xuansu with both palms, but Zhang Xuansu flew back quickly. After he landed, he shouted to the princes: "Run!"

"Elder brother, are you poisoned?" Zhu Di exclaimed.

"Leave me alone, run!" Zhang Xuansu urged anxiously, "The Poison Master is about to release his natal poison. Once it is released, I can't stop it."

Wan'er picked up Zhu Zhu and Zhu Zhen with one hand and swept them to the attic in the distance without hesitation. Qin Wang Zhu Fang and Jin Wang Zhu Fan also followed closely and quickly fled the scene. Zhu Di rushed to Zhang Xuansu without hesitation: "Elder brother, I will take you with me!"

"Go to hell!" The poisonous man, covered in blood, roared and rushed forward. A purple life Gu crawled out of his body, exuding a frightening aura, "You will all be buried with my son!"

scold!
Regardless of being poisoned, Zhang Xuansu stood in front of Zhu Di and extended his sword. The terrifying sword energy penetrated Du Gong, but the poisonous mist on Du Gong took the opportunity to attack Zhang Xuansu again. At the same time, the purple Gu insect flew out quickly and headed towards Zhu Di.

Zhu Di reached out to help Zhang Xuansu, but suddenly felt pain in his arm. He looked down and saw that the purple Gu insect had landed on his arm and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Du Gong watched helplessly as his life Gu disappeared into Zhu Di's body, with incredible horror and despair on his face: "This...how is this possible..."

Before he finished speaking, his body trembled violently, and he fell straight down, dying.

……

Zhang Xuansu saw the purple Gu worm entering Zhu Di's body, and he felt numb: "You...are you okay?"

Zhu Di felt weird, but he didn't feel uncomfortable anywhere. He frowned in confusion: "Is it okay? Is the bug hiding in your body?"

He sat down immediately, his luck was all over his body, but there was nothing unusual. Zhang Xuansu doesn't understand Gu, but he is definitely worried. He saw a bug crawling into his body. How can he not be worried?
Swish!
There was a sound of breaking through the air, and Fourth Master Zhu flew down next to them and asked hurriedly: "Has Mr. Po been here?"

Zhu Di spread his hands speechlessly: "Grandpa, when you come, we can only collect the bodies for us. If senior brother hadn't arrived in time, all of us would have been here today."

Fourth Master Zhu glanced at Du Gong's body on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "I've only been away for a little while, who knows. Xuan Su, thanks to you."

Zhang Xuansu looked sad, pointed at Zhu Di and said: "Master, the third junior brother has a Gu crawling into his body, and it is the poisonous poisonous worm."

"What?" Mr. Zhu was shocked.

"Grandpa, I'm fine." Zhu Di waved his hand carelessly.

Fourth Master Zhu personally checked his body and found no abnormalities. He frowned tightly and said, "I will send them back first, and then I will take you to find the Miao saint."

Zhu Di nodded, he was not worried at all.

……

Qianqing Palace.

Fourth Master Zhu brought back King Zhu Fang of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, King Zhu Zhu of Wu, and King Zhu Zhen of Chu, and told Zhu Yuanzhang about the life and death scene in the back mountain of the academy today.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid, but praised: "Well done. We are very happy that you brothers can help each other before danger."

Fourth Master Zhu: "!!!"

Damn, all five of your sons were almost killed. Did your focus go astray?
"Second brother and third child, you are all adults." Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly, "Then it's time to go out and practice. In this way, second child, you go to your Uncle Xu's army in the north and follow him to fight. Third brother, you go to your grandfather's water. Master, go kill the Japanese pirates."

Fourth Master Zhu nodded slowly. He also agreed. Only when the adult children of the Zhu family are sent out to gain experience will they become talents in the future. Only when they are strong enough can they become qualified vassal kings and bear the fate of their bodies.

"Father, is it too dangerous?" Zhu Biao asked worriedly.

"In the world of the Zhu family, if the Zhu family doesn't work hard, who will?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"My son, I obey the decree." Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan bowed together.

……

The next day, a banquet was held in the East Palace, and Zhu Biao saw off his younger brothers Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan who were about to go on an expedition.

"Second brother, third brother." Zhu Biao picked up the wine glass, with deep emotion in his voice, "I am going to the military camp. I must practice hard and improve my martial arts. In the future, my eldest brother will need the two of you to help me and protect the Ming Dynasty together."

Zhu Fan patted his chest with great enthusiasm and said swornly: "Prince, brother, don't worry. I will definitely become a powerful general, open up territories for you, and protect the Ming Dynasty."

"Me too, I will definitely live up to my brother's expectations." Zhu Xi nodded in agreement.

Zhu Biao drank it all in one gulp, and then picked up the food for his two younger brothers with his own hands. He tried his best to put a smile on his face: "Come, eat food, eat food. In the army, there will be no such delicious food, and there will be a lot of suffering waiting for you to eat." . However, my father is right, if our Zhu family doesn’t work hard for us, who will really work hard for us?”

"Brother, we are not afraid of hardship." Zhu Fan said categorically, "As descendants of the Zhu family, we will never embarrass the Zhu family. I will also make contributions on the battlefield and bring glory to the Zhu family."

"Brother, please rest assured." Zhu Ping also expressed his stance seriously.

"Okay, then big brother is waiting for your good news." Zhu Biao said with emotion, "After arriving at the military camp, remember to write to big brother often to report that you are safe. Don't be like the fourth brother who stayed in the north for a few times last year. Months, but I haven’t even written a letter.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile a little bitterly.

"Yes, brother." Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan responded in unison.

Zhu Biao looked at his two younger brothers with tears in his eyes. Even children from ordinary people's families would not go to the military camp so early.
