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

Chapter 153: Kill with a knife from the palace to the east city gate to break the situation
Jinyiwei Yamen.

"Fourth Master Zhu is here, he is here, and he is here with a six-foot-long sword." Ding Xiu rushed into the official residence of Mao Xiang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, in a panic, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.

Mao Xiang weakly waved his hand to signal him to calm down. He was already accustomed to this man's ability to get into trouble, and was even a little numb.

Fourth Master Zhu got into a fight and got into the palace. Could he get into more trouble than this?
"Sir...my dear commander..." Fourth Master Zhu's familiar and arrogant voice sounded outside the door, and then he strode in with the striking long knife.

Mao Xiang, with a black streak on his head, stood up to greet him.

Ever since he listened to the emperor's words and recruited Fourth Master Zhu as a secret guard, he felt that he was exhausted both physically and mentally and would die suddenly sooner or later.

"Fourth Master, this is the return of the king." Mao Xiang immediately put on a smile, "Your battle in front of the Huitong Pavilion was really generous. My admiration for you is like a torrential river, continuous and endless. The Yellow River is overflowing, and it is out of control. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading in a cold window, and seeing the famous figures of ancient and modern times, including you! It is really an honor for me to see you here. I will burn incense to worship my ancestors when I go home. , thank our ancestors for their kindness."

Fourth Master Zhu glared: "This is what I taught you. You should use it on Zhu Yuanzhang, don't use it on me."

Mao Xiang chuckled.

He asked Fourth Master Zhu to sit down and make tea himself.

"Your Majesty, the fourth master proposes to kill to break the situation." Mao Xiang solemnly bowed and saluted.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Fourth Master Zhu spread his hands speechlessly: "Of course it's up to you big guys to solve it. What can I, a little charlatan, do?"

"No, Fourth Master, don't leave." Mao Xiang immediately grabbed him, "You discovered this matter, you have to solve it."

……

"Actually, there is a way." Fourth Master Zhu's eyes were cold, "break the situation with killing!"

Mao Xiang hurriedly stepped in, his face extremely serious, and he bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, I have something urgent to say."

"Your Majesty, Fourth Master Zhu personally visited today and revealed an important discovery to me." Mao Xiang's voice was deep and powerful, and he described Wu Yu's story in detail.

Destroy the Ming Dragon Vein? This is tantamount to shaking the foundation of his Zhu family. A sharp cold light flashed in his eyes.

Mao Xiang was startled: "So, the purpose of the Beiyuan mission this time is to destroy our dragon veins? This move is so cruel that it will draw fuel from the bottom of the cauldron."

Fourth Master Zhu took a sip of tea, and then said seriously: "I came today because I have something serious to say."

As he spoke, he glanced cautiously at the eunuchs and maids standing on both sides.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood and immediately understood Mao Xiang's concerns. He waved his hand to signal the eunuchs and maids to leave, leaving only Prince Zhu Biao by his side.

Fourth Master Zhu said with a black line: "Shut up!"

Mao Xiang held on to him: "Fourth Master, my admiration for you is like a surging river, endless, and like the overflowing Yellow River..."

"The Beiyuan mission is secretive. We might as well retaliate and take decisive action." Mao Xiang explained, "Of course it does not mean a large-scale attack, but a precise assassination. Didn't four of the Thirteenth Wing of Mengwu come? We can get rid of them first. Lose two of them. Fourth Master Zhu also suspects that Chi Laowen is the murderer of General Chang."

He told the story about Wu Yu always going to Qinhuai River and Zhongshan in the past two days, and emphasized that it was the dragon vein, and told his guess.

"After that, I'm leaving." Fourth Master Zhu stood up.

He had no choice but to sit down and discuss with Mao Xiang what to do.

"Why kill to break the situation?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but interjected eagerly.

Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Biao frowned: "The Thirteen Mengwu Wings are all highly skilled in martial arts. How easy is it to assassinate them?"

"Master Zhu said that he is willing to personally help." Mao Xiang leaned over and saluted again, his voice firm.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, seeming to weigh the pros and cons. Finally, he waved his hand: "We need to think about it. Mao Xiang, I will report back tomorrow."

Mao Xiang nodded and respectfully left the hall.

After Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne and meditated for a while, he got up and walked out of the hall, rushing to Wuying Hall.

He came to the side hall.

Mr. Li, who was wearing purple clothes, and Mr. Wei, who was wearing green clothes, were still reading the Taoist classics.

"See your Majesty." The two of them bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"There is an urgent matter." Zhu Yuanzhang repeated what Mao Xiang had just reported.

……

After hearing this, Mr. Li in Ziyi frowned deeply: "Destroy the dragon's veins? Qin Shihuang didn't even do it. It shouldn't be possible for her alone, but she must have other means."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "What we are worried about now is her other methods. After all, she is a woman who has lived for more than a hundred years. She is not still a human, she has become a monster."

Mr. Wei in Tsing Yi stood up suddenly, as if he remembered something. He rummaged through a pile of ancient books, and finally took out a book, flipped through it quickly, and then handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Your Majesty, there is a record here. It is said that powerful alchemists during the Qin and Han Dynasties were able to change part of the dragon's veins, thereby affecting people with dragon energy."

"For example, if the dragon energy of the destined person is gradually lost, the fate of the country will also be gradually lost, and the purpose of destroying the country will be achieved. Or, the opposite is done, and the dragon energy of the destined person is increased violently, allowing him to bear it. If you can't stop it, you will die suddenly. In history, some kings died suddenly, maybe because of this." "Of course, changing the dragon vein is not something ordinary alchemists can do. Even if they can do it, they will be punished by God. Therefore, throughout the ages, this situation has Very little."

"After the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were even fewer because the alchemists disappeared. The Taoist sect that replaced them prohibited such practices that were against God's will."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Mr. Li in purple.

Because Mr. Li is an alchemist, his family is the only line of alchemists in the Central Plains.

"Your Majesty, don't look at me like that." Mr. Li waved his hand quickly, "I can't modify the dragon veins."

"It seems that Wu Yu may have used this method." Zhu Yuanzhang felt a chill running down his spine, "Then it's us she wants to influence?"

Mr. Li and Mr. Wei both nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly: "From a beggar to an emperor, we started with a bowl and ended up with a world. Can she change it if she wants?"

He decided in his heart that he would follow Fourth Master Zhu's wishes and kill him to break the situation.

As expected, these Beiyuan people were not here to exchange prisoners, but to cause trouble.

Then kill!

……

On this day, in the solemn lobby of the Ministry of Rites, an intense and intense negotiation was going on. Officials from the Ministry of Rites sat opposite Chi Laowen, the representative of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the atmosphere was tense.

"Your people have been gone for more than ten days, why haven't you brought our prisoners to Jizhou City yet?" The official of the Ministry of Rites said in a stern tone with obvious dissatisfaction, "You grassland cavalry are not known for their speed. They come and go like the wind. ?"

Chi Laowen smiled contemptuously: "Of course it's because your Han prisoners have slowed down our progress. Huh, just wait slowly, why are you in a hurry?"

The official of the Ministry of Rites was furious when he heard this: "I don't think you are negotiating in good faith at all. If that's the case, then go back to the grassland."

A sinister look flashed across Chi Laowen's face, and he sneered: "What? You don't want more than 10,000 prisoners? That's great, if we kill them, we can make the grassland more fertile."

"You...you prairie barbarian!" The official of the Ministry of Rites was shaking with anger, pointing at Chi Laowen's nose and cursing.

Chi Laowen slammed the table, and there was a loud "click" sound. The solid table instantly shattered and collapsed. This sudden move frightened the officials of the Ministry of Rites, their faces turned pale, and they all took a few steps back, fearing that this furious prairie man would do something even crazier.

"Hahaha, you sheep from the Central Plains are so weak and can be bullied!" Chi Laowen laughed wildly and strode away, very arrogantly.

After he left the gate of the Ministry of Etiquette, he was ready to return to the Huitong Hall.

……

Dangdang Dangdang!
At this time, a fierce metal collision suddenly came.

He suddenly looked up and saw a man in black robe slowly walking towards him dragging two huge long knives. The black robe tightly wrapped his body, revealing only a pair of cold eyes. He held an eight-foot-long knife in each hand. The blade rubbed against the ground, causing sparks to fly.

"Yuan Gou!" The man in black robe yelled at Chi Laowen, "I will take your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two knives in his hands slashed towards Chi Laowen with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Seeking death!" Chi Laowen clenched his fists and faced him.

He dodged quickly, and although he escaped the direct attack of the blade, the blazing sword energy scraped through his chest like fire, leaving a burning pain.

He was so horrified that he didn't dare to stop for a moment, turned around and ran away.

The man in black robe chased after him: "Yuan Gou, where are you running!"

Under the scorching sun, the pair of knives seemed to be attached to flames, carrying unparalleled momentum and sparks straight towards Chi Laowen's back.

Chi Laowen tried his best to avoid it, but his whole body was burned by the hot sword energy, causing burning pain.

He ran all the way to the gate of the east city and was able to escape from the city before he could see it.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a heat on the top of his head, and a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart. He raised his head in horror and saw the man in black robe rising into the air, slashing down with a thunderous force with both swords.

Chi Laowen wanted to dodge, but his whole body was firmly locked by the sword energy and he could not move. He could only watch helplessly as the two long knives struck his head with unstoppable force.

scold!
The two swords slashed down, and a puff of blood flew out.

Chi Laowen was cut into three parts and his body was not intact.

The man in black robe looked coldly at the corpse on the ground, then turned around and left, dragging the two eight-foot-long knives.

When Wu Yu hurried over, she only had time to see a receding figure outside the city and the deep mark left by the blade across the ground.

The strong smell of blood and the residual warmth of the sword spirit still lingered in the air.

"Easily kill Chi Laowen!" Wu Yu looked horrified, "Who is that double swordsman?"

She, who had always been calm, was also panicking at the moment, because once Chi Laowen died, she would lose a significant amount of her combat power, and the things she had to do in the future would become more variable.
