Chapter 2568: Xuanzang descended on Zhu Tianpeng, and four people gathered in the westward journey

 Every country has factional disputes.

The Qin family has great achievements and has five major factions: Qin, Jin, Han, Hebei, and Guanxi.

 In the Ming Dynasty, there were two major factions, Qi and Ming.

 How to balance the interests between the major factions, let them compete healthily, and make the country operate healthily? This is the real test of the king.

The reason why it is difficult for the Ming and Qi countries to merge is that, in addition to the different national policies of the two countries, the main contradiction is actually the uneven distribution of internal interests.

After Zhu Tianpeng promoted the merger of Ming and Qi, he must have led the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, so the civil and military officials of the original Ming Dynasty would naturally be more important, thus affecting the rights of Qi officials.

 From the perspective of officials from the Qi State, the reason why the Ming Dynasty is what it is today is all because of the full support of the Qi State.

Had it not been for the Qi State that wanted troops for soldiers and resources for resources, the Ming Kingdom would have been destroyed by the Wei and Song Dynasties long ago.

So, after the merger of the two countries, it is okay to give up the throne. If you can't even keep your original rights, then it is just killing the donkey.

 Zhu Di and Zhu Tianpeng understood the concerns of the Qi faction officials, but no matter how they guaranteed it, the civil and military officials of the Qi faction also understood that their rights would definitely be weakened after the merger of the two countries.

 Therefore, most of the officials of Qi State were extremely resistant to the merger of the two countries. Even if they could accept Zhu Di's rule, they still hoped that Qi State could maintain its autonomy.

But neither Zhu Di nor Zhu Tianpeng could accept it. After all, if Qi is autonomous, wouldn't it be equivalent to no merger?

Zhu Tianpeng hopes that Qi Ming will be completely merged. As the head of the Qi faction, he cannot refuse such a reasonable and humble request from his subordinates to retain their rights.

 After all, as the king of Qi, everyone in the Qi State recognized and trusted him, but he entrusted all the Qi State to Zhu Di. This was not a betrayal for the civil and military personnel of the Qi State.

Zhu Tianpeng felt guilty towards his subordinates, so it was naturally impossible for him to refuse even this, so he could only try his best to fight with Zhu Di.

Seeing Zhu Tianpeng's attitude, Zhu Di was also worried that if he was too tough, he would arouse Zhu Tianpeng's dissatisfaction and completely ruin the overall situation of the merger of the two countries.

Zhu Tianpeng can even entrust the entire country to himself, but he is stingy with even a little bit of rights. Will this make Zhu Tianpeng feel cold?

But if Zhu Tianpeng really agrees, within five years after the merger of the two countries, Qi officials will not move at all, and military power will return to the original generals, then what is the difference between merger and autonomy?

 Zhu Di is not a stingy person. He is willing to give Qi officials five years, but can Qin give him five years?

 In this regard, Zhu Di was in a dilemma.

Zhu Tianpeng also saw Zhu Di's dilemma. After thinking over and over again, he decided to take a step back and lobby his old subordinates.

When the civil and military officials of Qi Dynasty saw this, it was useless no matter how dissatisfied they were. After all, the lord didn't care. If he didn't fight for it, what was the use of these little pawns rushing up?

 The mutual compromise between Zhu Di and Zhu Tianpeng is also a process for Qi and Ming to resolve their internal disputes. Once completed, Qi and Ming will be able to completely complete their merger.

With all this in mind, Chang'e, who was well aware of the internal affairs of the two countries, was naturally unable to successfully complete the merger of the two countries, so she decided to let Zhu Tianpeng, the biggest pusher for the merger of the two countries, disappear.

Once Zhu Tianpeng disappears at this critical moment, the ministers of the Qi State will lose their leaders and their own interests will be harmed. Will they think that it was Zhu Di?

 Therefore, solving Zhu Tianpeng at this time will most likely destroy the merger of Qi and Ming. Even if it cannot destroy it, it will intensify the internal conflicts in Ming.

Now that Zhu Tianpeng has reached the level of the God of War, it is too difficult to capture him in the Ming Dynasty. However, as Zhu Tianpeng's adopted sister, Chang'e is very familiar with Zhu Tianpeng's daily life, and she has Chang'e as an internal agent. Naturally it is much easier.

Chang'e has been lurking beside Zhu Tianpeng for many years. She knows that Zhu Tianpeng has always loved her, and she has not married yet because of her.

Zhu Tianpeng's true feelings gradually influenced Chang'e's frozen heart, but she did not dare to accept Zhu Tianpeng's intentions because she had impure intentions when she first came into contact with Zhu Tianpeng, so she thought she was not worthy of Zhu Tianpeng's affection. infatuation.

Moreover, Chang'e served the Qin Dynasty and was loyal to Liu Mu and Ying Hao, but Zhu Tianpeng was completely devoted to the Ming Dynasty. The two of them were destined to have no consequences.

Chang'e felt guilty towards Zhu Tianpeng, and as Tianzi No. 1 secret agent, she had considerable authority. She could even mobilize masters at the Grand Master level, she just needed to ask for instructions.

Therefore, although Chang'e decided to solve Zhu Tianpeng's problem for Da Qin, she was not planning to kill him. Instead, she was going to use extra tricks to capture him alive and imprison him for Da Qin.

In order to ensure that Zhu Tianpeng was captured alive, Chang'e not only prepared to dispatch hundreds of Black Ice Platform swordsmen, but also wanted Jia Xu to support her five master masters and a grand master.

After receiving Chang'e's request, Jia Xu felt that Chang'e's plan was feasible, and Zhu Tianpeng, who was still alive, might have other uses in the future.

So Jia Xu agreed to Chang'e's plan and sent three masters and two grand masters, one more grand master than Chang'e requested.

 The three masters are: Ye Gucheng, Gao Jianli, Ren Qianxing, Xuanjian, and Zhanri;

 The two great masters are: Dugu Qiubai and Xuanzang;

As for why Jia Xu sent Xuanzang, who was imprisoned in White Horse Temple, it was because Xuanzang had his Qi gate broken and lost all his power. After years of hard training, he finally regained his power.

In Buddhism, Bodhidharma has always been the only one serving the Qin Dynasty. Jia Xu did not want to waste Xuanzang, the great master's combat power, so he used coercion and inducement, hoping that Xuanzang would not be ignorant of good and evil.

Xuanzang was a man with nothing in all four aspects, so how could he easily be persecuted by Jia Xu? Naturally, he refused directly.

Jia Xu could not force a great master, but whenever there was a place where Xuanzang could be used, he would still habitually send someone to ask.

Xuanzang had refused all the previous tasks. Only this time when he learned that the person to be captured was Zhu Tianpeng, Xuanzang unexpectedly agreed.

Jia Xu was also very puzzled by this, so he asked Xuanzang why he was willing to take on this mission.

Xuanzang replied that he was only interested in Zhu Tianpeng. As far as Jia Xu knew, there were not many people who could interest Xuanzang. One of the former Zhao generals who was imprisoned in the sky prison, Shajuan Lian, and the King of Qi, Zhu Tianpeng, were another.

Jia Xu was not afraid that Xuanzang would be interested in Zhu Tianpeng, but Xuanzang had no desires or demands and was not interested in anything, so he naturally agreed to Xuanzang's participation in this operation.

After Chang'e received Jia Xu's support, she felt relieved and began to plan how to secretly kidnap Zhu Tianpeng back to Da Qin without disturbing the Ming Dynasty.

Chang'e planned for three months, and finally decided to ambush Zhu Tianpeng on his way back while he was reviewing the Qingnan Navy. Then he returned to Qingbei by water, and then secretly escorted Zhu Tianpeng back to Luoyang by land.

 Shenwu three years, May 15th.

After reviewing the Qingnan Navy, Zhu Tianpeng prepared to return to the Qi Prince's Mansion in Linzi, Qi County under the protection of five hundred guards, but he did not expect to be ambushed on the road.

The number of people who ambushed Zhu Tianpeng was less than a hundred, but they were all elites.

The first round of indiscriminate crossbow fire caused Zhu Tianpeng's elite guards to lose a lot of casualties, and the subsequent close combat was a one-sided massacre.

When Zhu Tianpeng discovered that among these assassins, the weakest one had second-rate combat power and that there were five master masters, he immediately understood that this group of people was sent by Great Qin. After all, only Great Qin could assemble such a large-scale attack. The killer group, and besides Da Qin, no other force can deal with him.

When Zhu Tianpeng saw this, how could he not know that there must be people from Da Qin around him, and their status was not that great.

His review of the navy this time was completely impromptu. There were only a few people who knew about it, and each of them was in a high position. If any of them turned to Qin, it would be a disaster for Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Tianpeng no longer cared about who the traitor was. Instead, he laughed at himself and said, "I don't even have a great master. Does Jia Xu look down on me?"

 As for why it is said to be Jia Xu and not Ying Hao?

As we all know, Jia Xu is in charge of Black Ice Terrace. All matters related to assassinations in Da Qin must have been done by this old poisoner, and Ying Hao, as the emperor, has never cared about it.

Zhu Tianpeng is from Qi State, so he is naturally surrounded by expert guards, and there are two master masters, but he can only hold back two master masters, but the opponent has five master masters.

Zhu Tianpeng quickly sent people to ask for help, and at the same time ordered the guards to form formations, fight and retreat, but the killer group was like dog skin plaster and could not be shaken off at all, forcing Zhu Tianpeng to face the three masters personally.

 “One sword can separate the world.”

 “Yi Shuihan.”

 “Flying immortals outside the sky.”

The three masters Ren Qianxing, Gao Jianli, and Ye Gucheng each used their own special skills, but they were resolved one by one by Zhu Tianpeng.

Even if the three masters joined forces to attack, Zhu Tianpeng was still able to handle it with ease, and even gained the upper hand after twenty moves. He suppressed the three masters with his own strength. The power of the **** of war was undoubtedly displayed.

 “Tianyuan’s strike.”

After a loud shout, Zhu Tianpeng knocked back three masters at the same time with a full blow. Among them, Ren Qianxing was injured and vomited blood.

Just when Zhu Tianpeng was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, Dugu Qiubai and Xuanzang fell from the sky together.

Dugu Qiubei said: "You go and deal with the others, Zhu Tianpeng will be handed over to me."

 “Yes, my lord.”

Ren Qianxing, Gao Jianli, and Ye Gucheng decisively took the order and went to kill the guards who were not yet dead.

Dugu Qiu didn't say many ruthless words to defeat the enemy. He started to fight at the top or bytes. Seeing that Zhu Tianpeng was using a long weapon, he decisively used the spear-breaking style of Dugu's Nine Swords. This move was specially designed to restrain spears, halberds, spears, etc. Sticks and other long weapons.

 “King Qi, follow me and use the spear-breaking move.”

Hearing this, Zhu Tianpeng couldn't help but secretly groan in his heart. After all, the attack power of the swordsman master was famously strong, but he could only bite the bullet and go ahead.

Just a few moves against Zhu Tianpeng, Dugu Qiubai discovered that Zhu Tianpeng's strength did not match the intelligence. His internal strength was only at the peak of the early stage of a grandmaster, but his physical strength had reached the grand master level in advance.

Examples like Zhu Tianpeng are very popular among Gods of War.

Although there are many military generals who have both internal and external skills, they focus more on external skills. After all, strength and durability are emphasized on the battlefield, and a strong body has a greater chance of survival.

People like Jiang Song, Gao Chong, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, etc. have reached the Grand Master level in terms of physical strength, but their internal strength is still stuck at the Grand Master level.

 It is also because the physical body has reached the Grand Master level. With his tyrannical strength and rich combat experience, the God of War can compete with the Grand Master.

The physical strength of Li Cunxiao, Sun Lingming, and Li Yuanba is even inferior to that of many late-stage grandmasters and even peak grandmasters, so they can defeat or even counter-kill the grandmasters with their internal strength.

Zhu Tianpeng relies on his powerful body and rich combat experience, even if he faces the Grand Master level Dugu Qiu, he will not lose in a short time.

But there is Xuanzang next to him. Once these two people join forces, Zhu Tianpeng may not be able to hold on for even one round.

Xuanzang listened to the screams around him and closed his eyes with compassion. After reciting "Amitabha", he took out the rosary beads from his neck and punched them out.

Zhu Tianpeng was fully focused on dealing with Dugu Qiubai and couldn't care about anything else. He was caught off guard and was hit in the abdomen by a rosary, causing him to vomit blood and fly out.
