Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Upon hearing the news, Wei Xueyan thought that Zhu Junkai was Shi Tianyu's son and she must protect him. Otherwise, she would be uneasy when she saw Shi Tianyu again. So Wei Xueyan hurriedly asked Master Longxiang to "transmit the sound over a thousand miles" to Shi Tianyu, informing him that Zhu Junkai was demoted to the King of Xiliang and would immediately go to the northwest to take up his post. She also dispatched Master Longxiang, the "Five Qians", Shao Qicong, Kou Yanming, Dongfang Xiao and others to escort Zhu Junkai to Liangzhou.

Master Longxiang, Shao Qicong, Dongfang Xiao and others disagreed. They said that they must have the order of the Nine Thousand Year Old Man to leave the capital. Their attitude suddenly changed 180 degrees.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian was mourning over Zhu Youxiao's body!
Wei Xueyan was very smart and she suddenly realized that the mentality and attitude of the super-high-level martial artists such as Master Longxiang, Shao Qichong, and Dongfang Xiao had changed because of the new king's accession to the throne.

Perhaps, these people had already been secretly bribed by people sent by the new emperor.

~

Although Wei Xueyan hated Shi Tianyu for having many wives and concubines, she had already fallen in love with him in her heart.

Wei Xueyan had no choice but to protect Zhu Junkai, so she hurriedly went to Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng for help, and made an extreme decision to ask Murong Sheng and Li Zhenhai to resign to protect Zhu Junkai.

In this way, Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng can stay in Liangzhou permanently and protect Zhu Junkai.

Moreover, Wei Xueyan made her position clear that money and food would definitely not be a problem and they would definitely be provided with good supplies. As for the salary, it would definitely be increased more than tenfold for Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng.

Moreover, Wei Xueyan immediately took out a few gold bricks and gave them to Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng respectively.

~

Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng both shook their heads and waved their hands. Neither of them took the gold bricks and were not moved by the money.

In official circles, they always maintain a clean style and never bow down for the sake of money.

Moreover, Murong Sheng refused to resign. He said that he was a servant of the court in life and a ghost of the court in death. In this life, he was only loyal to the court and the Emperor, and was not someone's pawn.

He said that after all, he was one of the "Embroidered Spring Swords" in the hands of the Emperor.

Wei Xueyan suddenly became very depressed and sad. Her eyes turned red and tears were about to fall.

So, Wei Xueyan gritted her teeth and said with a choked voice: "Okay! I'll go!"

However, she also knew that with her martial arts and He Xiangu and Ju Ping, she could not protect Zhu Junkai. The vast grassland, the thousands of miles of yellow sand, the desolate northwest, if Wan Yuankang really wanted to kill Zhu Junkai, how could Wei Xueyan and a few others resist?

~

Li Zhenhai blocked the way with his arm and said, "Princess, that's not what I meant. I will definitely follow your orders and go to the grassland to protect the prince on his journey west. So, princess, please don't misunderstand me. I just don't need these gold bricks. If I carry too many gold bricks, it will be a burden and it will be inconvenient to fight with others. Later, if I have difficulties in life, it won't be too late for you to help me."

At this moment, Murong Sheng also stated that there would be absolutely no problem for him to leave the capital now to protect the prince on his journey west. After escorting the prince safely to Liangzhou, he would immediately rush back to the capital.

Li Zhenhai immediately picked up his pen and wrote his resignation to the Jinyiwei Office.

With tears in her eyes, Wei Xueyan picked up the pen and wrote the word "agree".

At this time, Juping and He Xiangu had already neatly packed the tent, water and dry food and placed them on the saddle of the Arabian horse prepared for Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng.

~

Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng then rode out of the city at full speed and chased towards the west.

Li Zhenhai actually already knew that Zhu Junkai was Shi Tianyu's son. So, now, Li Zhenhai was more anxious than anyone else. He was really afraid that the warhorse would slow down and catch up with Zhu Junkai's body.

After Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng left the capital, the "Two Xuanming Elders" Lu Conglin and Guo Songye also left the capital quickly, galloping towards the grassland. After Ju Ping received a "pigeon letter" from the Jinyiwei spy, she reported the news to Wei Xueyan.

~

Wei Xueyan gritted her teeth and said hastily, "Never mind, I don't want to be a bird princess. Fairy, Juping, you two go and call Chen Hai and Zhang Ziran and follow me to the grassland. Quick! I'll go first."

He Xiangu hurriedly crossed her arms to stop Wei Xueyan and said sadly: "Princess, if you do this, there is no turning back. And Shi Tianyu has many wives and concubines and countless sons. Is it worth it for you to do this for him?"

Wei Xueyan's handsome face flushed red, but she said firmly: "Nothing is worth it. I just went to save the prince, not for Shi Tianyu." After that, she pushed He Xiangu away with one hand and left.

However, Ju Ping stopped Wei Xueyan with her arms crossed and said sadly: "Princess, once you take this step, there is no turning back. Next, the Ninth Thousand Years Old Man may be implicated by you."

~

Wei Xueyan was stunned, feeling extremely sad. It was really hard to choose, and tears immediately streamed down her cheeks. She had to save the son of her beloved, but on the other hand, her father's safety was at stake. She was worried about her own safety. What should she do? What should she do?
However, Wei Xueyan was startled for a moment, then raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and said, "What my father did was his own fault, and he cannot blame anyone else. Moreover, he abandoned his wife and daughter, which is already unjust. How can I, a weak woman, be able to protect a 9,000-year-old man whose power is second only to the emperor? Moreover, my father controls more than 200,000 Jinyiwei! For so many years, he has only been busy recruiting soldiers, but never asked where the money and food to support more than 200,000 people came from? In the past few years, it was Shi Tianyu who fed more than 200,000 people. Okay, stop talking nonsense. If you are willing, go find Chen Hai and Zhang Ziran and follow me. If you don't want to, don't stop me. Let's say goodbye forever!"

After saying that, he pushed Juping's hand away and trotted away. From the corridor on the third floor, he stepped on his feet, flew down, jumped on his horse, and rushed out of the Jinyiwei office.

She psychologically convinced herself to put the country first, protect Shi Tianyu's son, and protect her beloved.

As long as Shi Tianyu does not fall, the Ming Dynasty court can still be saved and the Ming Dynasty will not fall into Nurhaci's hands.

Wei Xueyan felt better after convincing herself with this reason.

So she rode her horse out of the city and headed west.

~

Wan Yuankang and others who escorted Zhu Junkai all rode top-quality horses.

Zhu Junkai sat in a carriage, accompanied by the four beauties of plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo, and guarding the carriage were Qingqing, An Yinqi and Li Yiyu and his wife. Leading the way was Shi Sanbing with a group of guards, and the rear was Wan Wankangbing with a group of soldiers.

We set out in the morning and by noon we had crossed many mountains and entered the grassland.

They took a short rest, ate some dry food and replenished some water, then set off again at Wanyuankang's urging.

Qingqing tried to persuade Wanyuankang, saying that the prince was only a six-year-old child after all, and might not be able to bear such a hasty journey.

Wanyuankang coldly asked Qingqing: "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Qingqing's pretty face also changed color, and she said coldly: "What do you think you are, a mere commander of the imperial guards? I am the daughter of Madam Fengsheng, so what? Do you want to go back to the palace to confront my mother?"

Wanyuankang snorted angrily, turned around and rode away, leading the way.

In this way, Qingqing had no way to persuade Wanyuankang anymore.

~

dusk.

The endless flat grassland has been dyed with autumn colors, and the grass is rolled into curls, scattered like stars in the golden color.

The rivers, lakes and forests embedded in it make the grassland colorful and harmonious between movement and stillness.

There were also some herdsmen cutting grass. They harvested the yellow grass and tied it into strong bales half a person's height. They scattered them in an orderly manner on the slopes of the hillside. They were yellow, crispy and round, like harmonious three-dimensional patterns on a carpet.

~

Wan Yuankang and Shi San led a group of people disguised as imperial guards, including Wan Shenle, the leader of the "Yanyan Gong", and his disciples Wan Nengshan, Wan Duliu, Wan Qianzheng, Wan Shijia and others, who had escorted Zhu Junkai to the grassland and had walked more than 600 miles.

Wanyuankang rode his horse to the carriage and suggested that Zhu Junkai rest on the grassland for a night before continuing.

Wanyuankang also pointed to the small hill in front and said that the hill could block the wind at night. If a wild wolf attacked, everyone could climb trees and escape quickly.

Zhu Junkai nodded, his face showing melancholy.

He is very smart, but too young.

Wan Yuankang was also the commander of the Imperial Guards, and his authority was evident.

An Yinqi and Li Yiyu were just cooks.

"Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo" and Qingqing were only palace maids at that time.

There are also two eunuchs.

How can such a team compete with Wanyuankang’s authority?

What's more, if Wanyuankang really launches an attack now, Zhu Junkai and his team will be destroyed by Wanyuankang, and they will probably die unjustly and tragically, and will never be discovered.

~

Ah! Difficult! Therefore, Zhu Junkai, who was still young, looked melancholy.

In the carriage, he whispered to "Mei Lan Ju Zhu" that he would quietly get rid of Wan Yuankang and others as soon as it got dark and midnight arrived. "Mei Lan Ju Zhu" and other four beauties also agreed with concern.

Mei Qing would occasionally lift the curtain of the carriage, and would whisper to Qingqing, the horse-riding guard standing beside the carriage.

~

Qingqing also agreed. She had seen that Wanyuankang, Shi San and others were not good people. Their appearances were in their hearts. Wanyuankang and others had evil intentions. But now, it was still daytime. There was no way to hide in the prairie. There was no way to avoid Wanyuankang and others. She could only wait patiently for the night to fall and use the cover of darkness to escape.

~

So Wanyuankang and others went to set up tents.

At dinner, everyone ate roasted lamb legs bought from the Beijing Roast Whole Lamb Restaurant. Wan Wankang, Shi San and others drank some wine, while the others gathered around Zhu Junkai to drink water and eat roasted lamb.

After dinner, the sky was dark and the curtains fell. On the grassland, the withering autumn leaves, the loneliness of the autumn wind and the beauty of the autumn night were all visible.

The wild wolves howled and began to rush towards the tent of Zhu Junkai and others in groups.

Wanyuankang hurriedly ordered the guards to cut the grass with knives and to light piles of fire around the cut grass.

The wolves that came around were afraid of fire and did not dare to cross the fire, let alone the grass belt. They just surrounded the grass belt and howled from time to time. The sharp howl was very piercing and frightening.

Soon, more and more wild wolves surrounded them.

~

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the fire spread rapidly, crossing the narrow grass strip and burning the trees around the tent. The flames seemed to be dancing like thousands of golden snakes. In an instant, they had burned the tents and surrounded Zhu Junkai, Qingqing and others in a sea of ​​fire.

Wan Yuankang shouted, "Your Highness, I will lead my troops to fight our way out." After that, he led his men to fly away, and they all jumped out of the burning area which was dozens of feet wide.

On the periphery, suddenly countless people who looked like herdsmen threw bundles of dry and yellow grass into the burning area.

Then, the burning area became wider and wider, and the entire surrounding area of ​​hundreds of feet was engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

The wild wolves screamed and fled the scene.

Thick smoke was everywhere and Wanyuankang couldn't see clearly what he was doing. Qingqing, "Mei, Lan, Ju, Zhu", An Yinqi and his wife, Zhu Junkai and others couldn't see clearly.

Although Qingqing had experienced some ups and downs with Shi Tianyu, she had always been helped by Helan Minyue and had never seen the big battle tonight. "Mei, Lan, Ju and Zhu" were originally beautiful palace maids. They were selected to the palace and had always lived by Keshi's side. They had never seen big storms. And they followed Keshi, and in terms of living treatment, they were pretty good people.

~At this time, the fire surrounding the tent was getting more and more intense.

Soon, even the tent was on fire.

The two eunuchs were suffocated by the thick smoke and fell into the sea of ​​fire, being burned into two charred corpses.

Although Qingqing and the five beauties of "Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo" used the breath-holding technique, they still had to open their mouths from time to time to breathe in and out.

Zhu Junkai was having difficulty breathing due to the thick smoke. Just like Qingqing and the five beauties including Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo, although he used the breath-holding technique, he still had to open his mouth to breathe from time to time.

Now, Zhu Junkai felt a little dizzy and began to lose his balance, but Wanyuankang and others still did not come to rescue him.

Moreover, from time to time, bundles of hay were thrown into the sea of ​​fire from the outside, and the wind fanned the flames, causing them to roll in violently.

~

However, facing this disaster, Zhu Junkai remained calm. He did not yell or shout, as if he was facing death calmly.

After taking a lot of "magic pills" sent by Shi Tianyu and the elixirs from various martial arts sects given to him by Master Longxiang and others, Zhu Junkai's physique has obviously improved a lot, and his ability to withstand pressure and blows has been significantly enhanced.

An Yinqi suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, the situation is not good. We can now confirm that the culprit who caused the fire is Wanyuan Kang. He must be following the order of the new emperor to assassinate you. Your Highness, please hold your breath. I am here to save you! Ladies, please protect your Highness. Please don't blame me!"

~

Li Yiyu hurriedly brought the quilt over, An Yinqi picked up the water bag, wet the quilt, and then wrapped the wet quilt around Zhu Junkai.

In the face of danger, Qingqing and "Mei, Lan, Ju, Zhu" learned another trick. They hurriedly picked up the water bags and poured water on their hair and clothes. Because the water was not enough, they used the remaining water to wet another quilt.

An Yinqi yelled at Li Yiyu, "Old woman, I will lead the way in front of you, you carry the prince and follow me."

After saying that, he wrapped the soaked quilt around himself, leaped up, flew into the air, and landed in the sea of ​​fire more than thirty feet away, and yelled again: "Old woman, hurry up, throw the prince over here."

~

Li Yiyu then grabbed Zhu Junkai, who was wrapped in another wet quilt, and threw him at An Yinqi.

Unexpectedly, in the sea of ​​fire, someone suddenly jumped out from the air and slapped Zhu Junkai with his palm.

Qingqing screamed, "Wanyuankang, you are indeed a traitor! Humph!"

He suddenly pulled out the crescent-shaped sword that he had exchanged with Yan Wan, and swung it in the air to hit Wan Yuankang who was about to hit Zhu Junkai. Then he stepped forward, stretched out his hand to grab the handle of the crescent-shaped sword, and flew into the air as the sword rushed forward.

She instantly flew across the sea of ​​fire, reached out and grabbed Zhu Junkai, then floated into the sea of ​​fire.

~

The sea of ​​fire was too large, and Qingqing couldn't fly across the entire sea of ​​fire at once, so she could only stop halfway.

Fortunately, her whole body was wet, and the fire could not burn Qingqing immediately.

Qingqing threw Zhu Junkai towards An Yinqi like a ball.

This move was really beyond Wan Wankang's expectations.

Wanyuankang never expected that Qingqing, a beautiful girl, was so fearless that she dared to fall into the sea of ​​fire.

So Wanyuankang slapped Qingqing with his palm.

~

At this time, the four beauties of "Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo" all held meteorite swords, flew over, and floated down, joining Qingqing, using swords and knives to block Wanyuankang's palms.

Wan Wankang then grinned grimly, and waved the "Bone-Dissolving Palm" with his left palm, and used the "Kunlun Flame Skill" with his right palm. His arms were like steel, and his palms were like sharp axes. His two palms, one cold and one hot, pounced on Qingqing and the five beauties, including "Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum, and Bamboo".

Qingqing, Meilan, Juzhu and others had discussed this all the way here, so naturally they would not fight Wanyuankang head-on.

Then, the beauties waved their swords and flew away again.

Wanyuankang's palms missed, he tapped his feet, floated up, and waved his palms in the air to slap Qingqing and the other beauties such as "plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo".

Qingqing and the five beauties, including Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo, hurriedly floated into the sea of ​​fire. Relying on the advantage of being wet all over, they tapped their feet and flew away in the air, thus avoiding Wanyuankang's palms. However, after several rounds in the sea of ​​fire, the clothes of Qingqing and the other beauties, including Plum, Orchid, Chrysanthemum and Bamboo, had been dried. However, they had already floated out of the sea of ​​fire and finally escaped.

~

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng are here to rescue you! Your Highness, don't worry!"

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and Li Zhenhai and Murong Sheng came galloping on their horses, shouting loudly from afar.

An Yinqi caught Zhu Junkai in mid-air and threw him towards Li Zhenhai, shouting, "Lord Li, Wan Yuankang wants to kill us, please catch the little prince!" After shouting, he threw Zhu Junkai towards Li Zhenhai.

Li Zhenhai jumped off his horse and reached out to take it.

However, Shi San suddenly flew over with a knife in his hand and slashed at Li Zhenhai's arms as fast as lightning.

Li Zhenhai gritted his teeth and did not dodge or evade. Despite the risk of breaking his arms, he took Zhu Junkai, spun in the air, and threw Zhu Junkai towards Murong Sheng.

Swish, swish, swish! Ouch! Li Zhenhai was hit on the back by Shi San's three knives, and his clothes were immediately stained with blood.

Li Zhenhai screamed instinctively.

However, Li Zhenhai had already thrown Zhu Junkai into the air towards Murong Sheng.

Murong Sheng learned from the lesson of Li Zhenhai being attacked in mid-air, and instantly drew his sword, holding it to protect himself, and stretched out his arm with one hand to take over Zhu Junkai. However, his back was blown by the breeze, and Wan Shenle, the leader of "Yanyan Gong", had already slapped Murong Sheng on the back.

Murong Sheng didn't even turn his head and swung his sword back.

~

Bang!
Wan Shenle was actually wearing a pair of meteorite iron gloves. Murong Sheng chopped off Wan Shenle's arms with a sword, making a loud noise that shook the sky and the earth. The two of them instantly fell into the sea of ​​fire and were instantly on fire.

But at this moment, Murong Sheng threw Zhu Junkai out.

An Yinqi flew out of the hundred-foot sea of ​​fire and caught Zhu Junkai in mid-air.

Wan Shenle, the master of "Yan Yan Gong", and his disciples Wan Nengshan, Wan Duliu, Wan Qianzheng, Wan Shijia and others drew their swords one after another and rushed towards An Yinqi with their left palms and right swords.

An Yinqi threw the wet quilt he used to protect himself at Murong Sheng, picked up Zhu Junkai and ran away.

At this time, Li Yiyu also flew into the air and floated out of the sea of ​​fire.

Wanyuankang ignored Qingqing, plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, bamboo and other beauties, and quickly waved his palms to slap An Yinqi.

Moreover, Wan Yuankang shouted in the air: "Stupid chef, it turns out that you are the Iron Palm Wu Zhong of the Jiangnan branch of the Ming Cult who has been hiding deep inside! Humph! Tonight, you and Xiao Lingling and her husband, the wanted criminals of the imperial court, will never escape from my grasp again!"

After roaring, he jumped up and slashed at An Yinqi with his palm, but then he slashed diagonally in the air towards Li Yiyu.

By making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, he actually wanted to kill Li Yiyu in an instant.

~

Li Zhenhai was suddenly stunned. He was in a sea of ​​fire and his whole body was instantly on fire.

Because of the blood feud of the Ming Cult's Jiangnan branch, Li Zhenhai was also involved, which led to Li Zhenhai and Shi Yuyan remaining unmarried for the rest of their lives.

The tiger general Wu Zhong Iron Palm and the couple Xiao Lingling, the Double-edged Blade, from the Jiangnan branch of the Ming Cult, had been missing since the bloody battle that year. No one had ever seen them alive or dead. Unexpectedly, they were recommended by Shi Tianyu to be imperial chefs in the palace.

The world is so unpredictable that it really caught Li Zhenhai off guard.

Seeing that Li Zhenhai was instantly on fire, Murong Sheng reached out to grab it and wrapped the wet quilt around himself. He waved the sword a few times and then jumped into the sea of ​​fire. He knocked down Shi San who was trying to kill Li Zhenhai with one sword, then took off his own quilt and wrapped it around Li Zhenhai to put out the fire on Li Zhenhai. He then grabbed Li Zhenhai and threw him out.

Then, Murong Sheng stepped on his feet and flew out with the sword in hand. He flipped in the air and pounced at Wanshi Jia with his left fist and sword in his right.

Crack! Wan Shi Jia was instantly split in half by Murong Sheng's sword and died tragically outside the sea of ​​fire.

Li Zhenhai instantly cleared his mind, drew his sword, and started a duel with Wan Shenle.

More than 20 disciples of Wan Shenle, the master of "Yanyan Gong", including Wan Nengshan, Wan Duliu, Wan Qianzheng, etc., each with a left palm and a right knife, rushed towards Li Zhenhai from the southeast, northwest, and northeast directions.

~

At this moment, the two Xuanming Elders Lu Conglin and Guo Songye suddenly flew down from the sky and reached out to grab Zhu Junkai, who was wrapped in a quilt, from An Yinqi's hands. An Yinqi suddenly jumped up and pushed Zhu Junkai sideways, thus avoiding the grab of the two Xuanming Elders with Zhu Junkai's death and saving Li Yiyu's life.

Wanyuankang slapped Zhu Junkai, who was wrapped in a quilt, with both of his palms. It was silent and disappeared in an instant, like a drop in the ocean.

~

"Your Highness!" Upon seeing this, the five beauties Qingqing, Mei, Lan, Ju, Zhu and others burst into tears and cried miserably.

None of the five beauties expected that An Yinqi was even more vicious than Wan Yuankang and actually used Zhu Junkai as a shield.

At this moment, Wei Xueyan had already arrived on horseback. She burst into tears and suddenly cried out, "Prince! Prince!" She quickly jumped off the horse, drew her sword in the air, and stabbed Wan Yuankang.

Wanyuankang stretched out his hand and flicked out a finger.

Clang! Wanyuankang flicked Wei Xueyan's sword away with one finger.

Under the shock of Wan Yuankang's swift power, Wei Xueyan was shocked and flew into the air.

Wanyuankang slashed his palm horizontally again, chopping towards An Yinqi's neck.

An Yinqi threw the quilt into the sea of ​​fire, and swung his palm towards Wanyuankang like a mountain, his palm force was so strong that it was like splitting a stone. Bang! In an instant, the four palms collided, and a loud noise shook the earth.

Both of them were flying in the air, floating three meters away.

But Wanyuankang is as stable as Mount Tai.

However, An Yinqi lost his balance and immediately vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Qingqing, Meilan, Juzhu wailed again, "Prince! Wuuwu!"

The five beauties rushed into the sea of ​​fire without hesitation to save Zhu Junkai who was in the fire.
