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

Chapter 249 Lao Zhu was shocked: The Witch King of Southern Xinjiang is the fourth child
The Witch King smiled coldly and looked at Zhu Di: "God of Gu? I will fight with you. If I lose, I will commit suicide! If I win, you will die! How about it?"

"Come and fight!" Zhu Di strode out.

Fourth Master Zhu did not stop him, but secretly prepared to give the Witch King a fatal blow at any time. He is good at playing dirty tricks, but what is fair? He doesn't care. Everyone is dead, so how can there be justice?
"My natal Gu is the most powerful Gu." The Witch King's tone revealed deep confidence and arrogance.

As he spoke, his body began to undergo changes, and he became thinner and thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye, but the aura around him became stronger and stronger, as if a powerful force was surging within his body.

Chi Li exclaimed: "The Witch King continuously compresses his muscles, causing his strength and speed to increase dramatically. His final power is said to be able to kill gods. It is indeed the most powerful Gu."

That's it!

Fourth Master Zhu frowned. Damn it, the Witch King has truly become as thin as a bolt of lightning.

"Hahaha, Gu God!" The Witch King laughed arrogantly, "Then I will come to kill the God today!"

Whoosh!
He had rushed towards Zhu Di like lightning. Due to the speed, a crack seemed to be torn open in the void wherever it passed. Facing this lightning-fast attack, Zhu Di remained motionless, with a sneer on his lips.

Because, in his eyes, the Witch King was too slow, as if he had been slowed down dozens of times.

boom!
Zhu Di grabbed the Witch King's fist. The Witch King turned pale in horror. He never expected that Zhu Di would easily catch his extremely fast punch.

The people around him were also stunned. They couldn't see clearly how Zhu Di was caught in this way. He was obviously motionless?

In fact, Zhu Di was much faster than the Witch King, so fast that it was almost impossible to capture traces of his movements. Because of this, people around him feel as if he has not moved.

……

"That's it?"

Zhu Di smiled contemptuously and clenched the Witch King's fist. A terrifying infuriating force violently attacked the Witch King along his fist, which shocked the Witch King. He tried to break free from Zhu Di's control, but he couldn't shake it off at all.

"You still claim to be the most powerful Gu?" Zhu Di snorted mockingly, and then suddenly waved his hand.

boom!
There was a loud noise, and the Witch King was thrown heavily to the ground, causing a cloud of dust to fly. Before he could spit out a mouthful of blood, he was picked up by Zhu Di again. Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment, as if Zhu Di was throwing sandbags, constantly smashing the Witch King to the ground, and then picked him up again, repeating the action.

Zhu Di's movements were fast and hard, and the sound of banging and banging was endless.

After dozens of consecutive hits, the ground was already pockmarked. Finally, Zhu Di smashed hard, knocking the Witch King deeply into the soil. At this time, the Witch King was covered in blood, and blood was still pouring out of his mouth.

Everyone was shocked!

The Witch King was a god-like existence in Miao territory, and he was defeated so easily. He was no match for the Gu God. It can be said that even in his strongest state, he is vulnerable to the Gu God.

boom!
Zhu Di stepped on the Witch King with a sneer on his face: "There is no need to commit suicide, I will personally send you on your way!"

boom!
He stepped down suddenly, and the Witch King and the soil beneath his feet suddenly shattered. A generation of wizard kings turned into dust and returned to heaven and earth in the blink of an eye.

"From today on, I am your king!" Zhu Di's eyes scanned the audience, and his voice revealed arrogance.

"See the Witch King!" Everyone present knelt down and worshiped.

Fourth Master Zhu rubbed his brows and looked at Zhu Di's figure. He had to admit that Zhu Di was becoming more and more kingly. His actions are ruthless and decisive, and he can compete with his father.

……

"Where is the imperial seal?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

This is their ultimate goal in coming to Miao territory, which is to obtain the imperial seal. Chi Xiong stood up and saluted Zhu Di respectfully: "Witch King, I know the exact location of the jade seal. It is hidden in this cave. But the box holding the jade seal has a voodoo mechanism. However, now you are the voodoo god. Naturally, he is not afraid of any evil spells.”

"Lead the way!" Zhu Di ordered succinctly.

Chi Xiong responded and led the way, followed closely by Zhu Di. Chi Li finally recovered from the previous shock. He took Fourth Master Zhu's arm and followed them closely.

This is the first of the twelve caves in Miaojiang. It is larger in scale than Feihua Cave. The internal passages are crisscrossed like a complex maze. But Chi Xiong was obviously very familiar with this place. He led everyone through the twists and turns of the passage and finally came to an empty cave. I saw an exquisite box hanging on the ceiling of the cave.

"The Imperial Seal is inside!" Chi Xiong raised his hand and pointed, "God Gu, only you can open it safely. There is a Gu insect hidden in the box. If you are not the God of Gu, you will die if you touch it."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di flew up without hesitation and easily removed the box. He immediately opened the lid of the box and saw that there was indeed a green Gu worm inside. However, the green Gu worm seemed to be frightened and remained motionless.

"It's really the jade seal passed down from the country." Zhu Di took out the jade seal and closed the box.

Fourth Master Zhu couldn't wait to reach out and take the jade seal, only to see the eight seal characters "Ordered by Heaven, Live Long and Prosperous" clearly engraved on the front of the jade seal. He immediately beamed with joy: "That's it! It's finally back in the hands of the Central Plains Dynasty."

With this national jade seal, it will help bear the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and the dilemma of the Zhu family royal family will be greatly alleviated. …

night.

There was a raging fire burning in the cave. Zhu Di was sitting on the throne. He looked a little like a young emperor. He swept his eyes and said in a deep voice: "You should know the identity of this king. He is the King of Yan of the Ming Dynasty. Now It’s your Witch King again. I will form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty on your behalf.”

"I sincerely obey the Witch King's order." Everyone bowed in unison.

"I will not treat you badly." Zhu Di stood up, "Now the Ming army is in overwhelming strength and has captured Kunming. When I return, I will send people to send supplies up the mountain."

Everyone was overjoyed after hearing this. Zhu Di smiled slightly: "I will report to my father to set aside an autonomous region north of Quzhou. If you want to live in the mountains, you can go out."

"Thank you King Wu." Chi Xiong bowed excitedly, "King Wu, we in Miao territory are also willing to contribute. We have 30,000 Miao soldiers. King Wu can bring them to assist the Ming Emperor in attacking the Duan clan in Dali."

"That's great!" Zhu Di spread his hands, "After that, southern Xinjiang will belong to the Ming Dynasty. You can come to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. I will allocate part of my financial resources to continue to support you."

After hearing this, everyone was eager to give it a try. They yearned for the Central Plains. Zhu Di asked them to re-elect the twelve cave masters, and then discussed the matter of leading 30,000 Miao soldiers out of the mountain, led by Chi Xiong and Chi Li, and going together with Zhu Di, the new Witch King.

Fourth Master Zhu looked at Zhu Di with a sense of relief that the Zhu family's son had grown up.

……

Diancang Mountain has a steep terrain, winding like a dragon. The 100,000-strong army of the Duan family in Dali stood firm at the Dragon Head and Dragon Tail Passes, which were the only way to Dali. The terrain was so dangerous that it could be said that one man was in charge of the pass and no one could get past it.

Zhu Yuanzhang led 100,000 elites out of Kunming City. When they arrived at the pass and faced the towering pass, he frowned. The defense of the pass in front of us was stronger than that of Kunming City, and the artillery range could not reach the pass, which made a strong attack particularly difficult. Moreover, the road in front of the pass is narrow and the army cannot deploy. If we attack forcefully, it will be tantamount to letting the soldiers march forward to die.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard and win this level!" Mu Ying knelt on one knee with a firm voice.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Fighting does not rely on brute force, but on brains. We will not do such a business in exchange for victory with the lives of soldiers."

"However, it seems that the only way to attack this pass is to attack it by force." Mu Ying insisted, "I can select a group of elites and quietly approach the pass tower, and your Majesty, you will lead the musketry team of the Shenji Battalion to cover us. Wait until I climb the pass tower. Fight your way out and open the door from the inside."

Mu Ying once trained a group of agile soldiers who were good at climbing and could even use arrows shot into the city wall to quickly climb up the tower. But Zhu Yuanzhang still shook his head. He patted Mu Ying on the shoulder and said: "This gate tower is different from ordinary city walls. Its height is extraordinary. If we think about it again, there will always be better ways to defeat the enemy."

Mu Ying knew in her heart that His Majesty would not want to see too many casualties in the expedition.

At this moment, a local chieftain hurried over and bowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, the Witch King has arrived with 30,000 Miao soldiers. He plans to launch a fierce attack from the pass tonight. By then, the Ming army will only need to concentrate on attacking the pass. Can."

"Witch King?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled, "He is actually willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty?"

"He is the new Witch King," the chieftain explained. "He is eager to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty and promised to win this pass as a meeting gift to the Ming Emperor."

"Okay!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly, "Then we will wait and see!"

He waved the toast to retreat. At this time, Mu Ying frowned, approached Zhu Yuanzhang and reminded: "Your Majesty, you must be on guard against fraud!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands relaxedly: "We will just wait and see what happens. If there is a big battle in the pass tonight, once the door is opened, we will rush in. You have the whole army ready for battle."

"According to the order." Mu Ying nodded and accepted the order.

……

In the night, the moonlight was as bright as silver, shining on the 100,000 Ming troops who were waiting in formation.

Zhu Yuanzhang, riding a war horse, stood in front of the formation, staring deeply at the pass ahead. Suddenly, fierce shouts of killing rang out in the pass, and then fire shot into the sky, turning half of the sky red. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with joy and he decisively ordered: "The whole army attacks!"

Mu Ying frowned slightly and asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, is this a scam?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said confidently: "We are all people who have experienced hundreds of battles. Can't we even distinguish the true from the false?"

As he said that, he took the lead, "The whole army is pressing forward and we will go straight to the pass!"

One hundred thousand Ming troops rushed forward like a raging flood. Not long after, the pass was opened from the inside, and the Ming army poured in like a tide. Zhu Yuanzhang rode his horse into the pass and saw that it was already a sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, a large group of people came galloping toward them, and a loud voice came: "The Witch King has arrived, requesting an audience with the Ming Emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up and saw an energetic young man sitting on the horseback headed by him opposite. He exhaled in surprise: "Fourth child?"
