Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

Chapter 359 Li Jinglong offers advice!

"You planned ahead of time. It's not shameful to lose to you."

"Thanks for the compliment!"

"But aren't you going to say something?"

"What did your highness want me to say?"

Wang Kangshun looked at Zhu Xiongying and said calmly.

"With such a big incident happening to the White Lotus Sect, you must have moved those branches a long time ago, right?"

Wang Kangshun looked at Zhu Xiongying in astonishment and couldn't help but sigh: "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"At such a young age, you can see so clearly."

"Are the descendants of your Zhu family really so excellent?"

"Tell me about it!"

"Where did you transfer them all?"

"Your Highness, that is the fire of my White Lotus Sect. Do you think I will tell it?"

"Will I destroy the White Lotus' thousand-year foundation just to save my own life?"

"Isn't it a bit too contemptuous of your Highness to defend the title?"

Zhu Xiongying showed a meaningful smile. When Diwu Lekang, who was in the prison van, saw Zhu Xiongying's smile, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Master, please speak!"

"His methods are so horrible and totally inhumane."

Diwu Lekang quickly reminded him, thinking back to that time it was simply a nightmare.

"Shut up!"

"You traitor, you have no right to speak here."

Wang Kangshun scolded immediately.

Wang Kangshun was very angry about Diwu Lekang's betrayal of the White Lotus Sect.

"Master, I'm doing this for your own good!"

"Shut up! Traitor, I should have finished you off in the first place."

"Ugh!"

Diwu Lekang sighed helplessly, it was difficult to persuade the damned ghost with kind words.

"Eunuch Wang, you really won't tell me?"

"Your Highness, feel free to use whatever tricks you have!"

"I'm already a eunuch, what kind of punishment is there that I can't bear?"

Wang Kangshun said very confidently.

"it is good!"

"Disable his martial arts skills and put him in a prisoner van."

"Yes!"

At this time, Yuan Tiangang also came back with his men and placed more than a dozen heads in front of Zhu Xiongying.

"well done!"

"Keep on going!"

"Yes!"

......................................................

Liaodong battlefield!

When the Jurchens were shrinking their territory, they set many traps, causing the Ming army to suffer heavy losses.

Heavy casualties!

"Damn it, no wonder they were willing to give up their territory, it turns out this is what happened."

"Damn it! Yao Guangxiao is so vicious!"

"The granaries in the cities I took over were all empty."

"..."

The generals kept complaining, and Lan Yu, who was sitting on the throne, had an extremely gloomy expression on his face.

"General Lan, this is obviously a conspiracy. They are depleting our forces."

"I didn't expect they could set so many traps in such a short time."

"I really underestimated them."

Lan Yu said with a gloomy face.

"Master Lan, how do we deal with this now?"

"Pass the order down. Stop taking over the territory first. No more casualties can occur."

"Stop and rest!"

"Yes!"

Chang Sheng immediately went down to pass on the order.

"General Lan, let's rest now. They will definitely send people to harass us. Some cities are short of food and grass."

"Once we are surrounded, we will have to send troops to support us. With Yao Guangxiao's wisdom, he will definitely send someone to ambush us along the way."

"In this way, they can eat up our troops on both sides. In the long run, they will eat us away bit by bit."

Guo Ying on the side spoke up, saying that he was indeed a veteran who had experienced many battles and had a unique vision.

Lan Yu nodded: "You are right, the current situation is somewhat unfavorable to us."

"But Yao Guangxiao is very capable, and I, Lan Yu, am no pushover either."

"Since those cities have no food supplies, we should just give up on them. Occupying them will only become a burden to us."

"Withdraw all the people. We can't let them defeat us one by one."

"Yes!"

Chang Sheng immediately went down to pass on the order.

"Master Lan, aren't the Bad People hiding among the Jurchens? I think we can take advantage of this."

"Oh? Tell me!"

Lan Yu looked at Li Jinglong with interest.

"General Lan, the Jurchens are now shrinking their territory, so they must be gathered together to prevent being divided and surrounded by us."

"They must be closely connected. If that's the case, then they will form a huge encirclement and eat us up in one bite."

"We are superior to them in both manpower and equipment, so it won't be a problem to eat them."

After hearing this, Lan Yu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"The second girl is fine!"

"I thought you only knew how to run to the Qinhuai River, but now it seems you have something to offer."

"Lan Shuai, are you praising me? Or are you scolding me?"

"You boy!"

Lan Yu scolded with a smile.

"Second girl, they have set up many traps, and they must have more bases."

"How do we deal with these traps?"

Guo Ying on the side spoke up.

"Simple!"

"Why not just let the bad guys steal the trap map?"

"With the trap map, we can avoid or destroy it. Isn't that okay?"

Lan Yu nodded: "Yes! This plan is feasible!"

"I will submit another memorial to His Majesty, asking him to mobilize some AK47s from the Ministry of Industry."

"Although there are not many, we should be able to form an elite team specifically for breaking through the enemy's defenses."

"This is a good idea!"

Guo Ying immediately agreed.

"it is good!"

"Then it's settled!"

"Second girl, you are responsible for contacting the bad guys and asking them for help."

"If you can win, you will be credited with the achievement!"

"Thank you, Commander Lan!"

Li Jinglong turned around with a smile and went to do his work.

..............................

Night is falling!

In a jungle!
Li Jinglong was sitting under a tree, fiddling with the snow on the ground out of boredom.

"Why haven't you come yet? It's been so long."

"These bad guys won't ignore me, right?"

He was a little worried, after all, the Bad People only obeyed Zhu Xiongying's orders.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, almost scaring Li Jinglong to death.

"Hey, brother, are you walking without making any sound?"

"Don't you know that scaring people to death can be a problem?"

Li Jinglong patted his chest with lingering fear.

"What do you want from us?"

"The Jurchens left many traps before they evacuated, causing us heavy casualties. We need you to help us get the trap map so that we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Any more?"

"Uh……"

"temporarily unavailable!"

Li Jinglong shook his head.

"The trap map will be delivered to the camp in five days."

After saying that, the person disappeared.

"Oh my god! Where did His Highness find these perverts? Are they human or ghosts?"

He shuddered and turned away!

………………………………………………Yingtian Prefecture!
Zhu Xiongying and his group slowly walked into the city gate of Yingtian without attracting much attention.

Go straight to the palace!

In the imperial study room!

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Gang who was kneeling in front of him, his eyes filled with anger and even more of a sense of disappointment.

"Old Three, what do you want to do?"

"Ah? You think I'm not annoying enough, or that your mother doesn't cry enough, right?"

"Before it was the fourth brother, and now it's you. What do you two brothers want to do?"

"Why would a shitty emperor not hesitate to attack his own family members, especially his descendants?"

"You are really promising!"

"They colluded with the White Lotus Sect and the Grassland Sect, nearly costing the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers."

"You are even worse than the fourth one, and more hateful."

Zhu Gang was scolded so hard by Zhu Yuanzhang that he dared not breathe and kept his head down, not daring to speak. In the past, whenever he made a mistake, he would look to Zhu Biao and ask Zhu Biao to plead for him.

He didn't dare to do that now. Facing his elder brother, he still felt a little guilty. After all, Zhu Biao really had nothing to say about them.

It would have been fine if I hadn’t seen him, but as soon as I saw Zhu Biao, I felt guilty.

"say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted, and Zhu Gang trembled all over.

"Father...your son...your son..."

Zhu Gang hesitated for a long time but couldn't say a word, even though he was showing off his power in Taiyuan Prefecture.

In front of Zhu Yuanzhang, he was just a wilted little chicken.

"What? You can't even speak now?"

"Old Four was much better than you back then. At least he didn't stutter when he spoke."

Zhu Gang took a deep breath and said, "Father, I know I was wrong, but I have already done it. It is useless to regret it now."

"I only ask you to let Jihui and the others go. They know nothing about this matter. They are still young and are your grandchildren."

"Please don't imprison them!"

Zhu Gang didn't want his son to be imprisoned since childhood like Zhu Gaoxu and others. If he did that, he would definitely be ruined.

"My life was originally given to me by my father. If you want to kill me or chop me up, I will never complain."

"Oh! Do you think that if you do this, we will think you are very courageous and brave?"

"You are my son, why are you putting on airs in front of your father?"

"I really don't understand why he wants to be a prince instead of a prince and get the throne."

"Do you think it's so easy to be an emperor?"

"Do you know how to handle government affairs?"

“Do you know how to ensure that the people have enough food to eat?”

"For someone like you, you only know how to fight, what else can you do?"

"If the Ming Dynasty falls into your hands, within a few years, people from all over the country will rise up and leave you dead without a burial place."

"How many years has it been since the previous Yuan Dynasty was destroyed? Have you forgotten?"

"The people have suffered so much from the war, and they have been exchanging their children for food. They need a stable era."

"Rest and recuperate. Do you have the kindness of your elder brother?"

Zhu Gang was speechless after being scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You are all our sons, but our family is different from others."

"Why should we establish the system of primogeniture?"

"It's all for stability, for the world to no longer be in turmoil, do you understand?"

"And your mother, do you know how many tears she shed behind the scenes because of the matter of the fourth child?"

"You come again now, do you think your mother isn't sad enough?"

"Don't tell me you want your mother to be too sad and die so that you can be happy, right?"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more excited and angry he became.

Speaking of his mother, Zhu Gang was somewhat moved. He knew best what his mother was like.

"Father, this is not what I meant!"

"I didn't think that much!"

"Didn't think that much?"

"Humph! You are such a disloyal and unfilial son."

"We'll beat you to death!"

As he said that, he immediately took off his boots and rushed towards Zhu Gang, starting to beat him up.

Zhu Gang was beaten so hard that he screamed!
Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying on the side watched quietly. If it were in the past, he would definitely step forward to stop it.

But now... hehe...

After an unknown amount of time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally stopped.

At this time, Zhu Gang had been beaten black and blue. If he had not been there the whole time, he would probably not have been recognized.

"Erhu!"

"exist!"

"Lock this beast up in the clan house and wait for your punishment."

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang waved his hand, and two bad guys took Zhu Gang away.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed deeply.

"You little bastard! Where are the people from the White Lotus Sect?"

"outside!"

"Bring it in!"

Immediately, two Jinyiwei dragged Wang Kangshun in.

"Grandpa Emperor, this person is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Wang Kangshun."

"In order to hide, he entered the Prince of Jin's Mansion and became a eunuch, serving Third Uncle."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Wang Kangshun and asked, "Are you the leader of the White Lotus Sect?"

"Quite cunning!"

"Knowing that he is hiding in the Prince Jin's Mansion."

"Humph! Zhu Chongba, you have a good grandson, otherwise why do you think you are looking for me?"

"presumptuous!"

Zhu Biao scolded him immediately. Zhu Yuanzhang hated being called Zhu Chongba the most, of course, except for Empress Ma.

"You're so brave, you bastard!"

"Feel your neck. How many heads are there for us to chop off?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Wang Kangshun.

"Ha! Zhu Chongba, you can't scare me!"

"You were just a beggar at the beginning. If it weren't for our White Lotus Sect, Han Shantong, and Guo Zixing, would you be where you are today?"

"He also ordered Liao Yongzhong to use a poisonous scheme to sink the young Ming King into the Yangtze River. How could such an ungrateful person sit on the throne?"

"God is so blind!"

Snapped……

A big slap in the face!

Wang Kangshun was beaten so hard that he saw stars and a streak of blood hung from the corner of his mouth.

"Ha ha……"

"Why? Your Highness thinks I'm wrong?"

"That's right! After all, he is your grandfather. Even if he is wrong, it is still right."

There was a look of sarcasm on Wang Kangshun's face.

"Old man, I have been very polite to you all along the way. Do you think I am a gentleman?"

Zhu Xiongying stared at Wang Kangshun.

"I am naturally aware of your Highness's methods. Not only is there the benevolence of your Highness the Crown Prince, but there is also the decisiveness of your Majesty the Emperor."

"But do you think you can cover up your grandfather's crime in this way?"

"Wang Kangshun, you are so outrageous!"

"What? Kill me?"

Zhu Biao's face was gloomy. He knew that now was not the time to kill Wang Kangshun, and he had to get something out of him.

If you kill him, you will fall into his provocation.

Snapped……

Another big bag was thrown over, and Wang Kangshun, who was originally swollen on one side, now looked smaller.

"Humph!"

"Zhu Xiongying, is this all you have?"

"It seems that rumors may not be true!"

Wang Kangshun looked at Zhu Xiongying with disdain.

"You're so anxious, aren't you, old man?"
