The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 254: The best way to escape and hide
“Also, the problems you mentioned are very difficult. It seems that there is no good way to solve them now, but that may not be the case in the future.

As long as I unify the country and set an example for future generations, there will be an endless stream of descendants who will find ways to unify the country.

Sooner or later, there will be true unification and all problems will be solved."

“Unification is also a form of progress.

From ancient times to the present, isn't it the case that we humans have been constantly failing, constantly summarizing, and then constantly making progress, passing on the results from generation to generation, so that we can get to where we are today?
If everything is just as you said, if you keep sticking to the old ways, not daring to try, worrying about this and worrying about that, how can you make progress?

How is this different from those nobles who want the people of the Ming Dynasty to be slaves forever?"

Zhu Houzhao's voice and tone became more powerful, and his eyes became brighter.

It seems like something is constantly growing and becoming stronger.

Zhang Sanfeng's eyes also seemed to light up, as if he saw a new door and a new world.

He looked at the young man beside him with genuine admiration.

Yes, that's right.

Although there will certainly be many difficulties in the process, it will inevitably cost unimaginable prices.

But it is true.

If it were anyone else, he would definitely be hesitant and think twice whether to agree or not.
Because the price that might be paid is really too high.

It is so serious that it may even sacrifice the peace and even lives of several generations.

However, Zhang Sanfeng felt a rare impulse towards the young saint king beside him.

support him.

This is the principle of heaven and earth, and the principle of human development.

And what if he could create another miracle without spending too much?

He has already created many miracles, what if he creates another one?
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly woke up and realized that he had been unknowingly leaning towards the old ways and was afraid to easily step into unfamiliar areas.

Suppressing these thoughts, he calmed down and really considered whether unification was necessary.

The old man in black looked at Zhu Houzhao with a complicated expression at this time.

As if he had been shocked and something had reminded him of something, his eyes were vicissitudes, he was silent for a while, and then he sighed softly: "Your Majesty is right, for thousands of years, people have indeed progressed step by step in this way."

"Old man, I have decided to unify the world. Do you want to stop me?"

Zhu Houzhao pointed his long spear, with the sharp tip pointing directly at the old man in black.

The violent fighting spirit surged up again.

The old man in black glanced at Zhang Sanfeng and the northwest direction calmly, shook his head, and nodded.

He said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I admit that what you said makes sense and it also shocked me.

But I still don’t agree, because it involves too many uncertainties. If you are not careful, it may lead to hundreds of years or even longer of war and killing, and the whole world will pay an unimaginable price.

What you call progress may turn into regression.

Maybe there will be a day in the future when the world will be unified, but now, I don’t see the opportunity for unification.

Your steps to unify the world at this time are too radical."

"Radical or not? Is there a good time? It's not up to you to decide. It's up to me to decide.

If there is no opportunity, I will create it.

Radicalism in my hands can only be a good thing. "Every word of Zhu Houzhao contained a more confident and domineering will than before, and also revealed evil.

“Haha.” The old man in black shook his head and smiled, still not showing any sign of anger, but rather speaking more gently: “Your Majesty is right, what I said does not count.

But Your Majesty, sometimes, being too confident is not a good thing.

Let’s not talk about unifying the world, can you really unify the world?”

"I admit that you are the only one who has the chance to unify the world, otherwise I would not have come to you to say this.

But this chance is only a few points, it's too small.

There will be too many people who will prevent you from unifying the world.

Including my two sons.”

"Now." The old man in black suddenly became extremely serious, looked deeply at Zhu Houzhao, and said solemnly: "I will always watch over you.

Can you create opportunities? Will you cause too much harm to the world?
If you can’t, and if you can, I will stop you.”

"Then I'll knock you down first, old fellow." Zhu Houzhao said angrily, slashing down with his spear.

"boom!!"

The golden light became brighter, and Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji, who had returned at some point but had not shown up, also took action.

But Xiao Sanxiao's figure disappeared like a phantom.

There was only a drop of blood emitting an unusual smell left there, and then it was destroyed by Zhu Houzhao's blow.

"Your Majesty, don't think of killing me. When it comes to escaping and hiding, I am the best in the world.

I will always be watching over you."

Only a laugh was left, and no other traces.

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and sensed around, but found no trace.

Look at Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji.

Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji both shook their heads. "This man used his own blood to create a phantom clone that looked like real flesh and blood, and combined with the means of hiding and changing his aura, it was truly amazing. I didn't even notice when his real body left." Zhang Sanfeng said truthfully.

Probably when he wasn't too focused.

Or the other party discovered Wuji's arrival earlier.

There is absolutely no one in the world who can resist the three of them joining forces, not even if the ancient sages were alive or Bodhidharma was resurrected.

This person's true strength is still uncertain, but his skills are so strong that he is probably the best in the world.

The means of concealment are also beyond imagination.

Who is it?

There are indeed many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world, and strong people emerge in endlessly.

“This person is indeed terrifying. I did not find anything unusual before. Perhaps it is true as he said. In terms of the ability to escape and hide, this person is the best in the world.

As for this person's identity, I have some guesses."

Wuji spoke, facing the curious looks of Zhu Houzhao and the others, and said bluntly: "It should be the twelve panics in the legend."

"Twelve Fears?" Zhu Houzhao became even more curious.

"These Twelve Terrors were selected by a martial arts expert several decades ago in the western border area of ​​Ming Dynasty. They are twelve people and things he had seen in his life.

These twelve people and things were the most frightening and terrifying people and things he had ever seen in the martial arts world, so they were collectively called the Twelve Terrors.

Most of these twelve treasures are from the western part of the Ming Dynasty, most of them are magical weapons.

In the Central Plains of our Ming Dynasty, there are only Shaolin, Wudang, and a righteous and evil sect in northern Zhili.

The most unique thing is the twelfth panic, which is a person."

Wuji said, with a hint of fear in his tone, "No one knows this person's real name, and it is rumored that this person appeared in the martial arts world more than a thousand years ago.

After that, he would appear again in the martial arts world every hundred years.

No one knows how long this person lived or what his situation was.
Therefore, they are referred to as the Twelve Fears. "

"He appeared more than a thousand years ago, so doesn't that mean he has lived for at least a thousand years?
What an old bastard, no wonder he is so good at hiding, he was so close to me, and I didn't notice him, and he rescued that arrogant guy. "Zhu Houzhao was shocked and said with some dissatisfaction.

"This person really should not be underestimated. His power is beyond imagination and even far surpasses that of the founder of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Shitian.

And his two sons, the three of them are all celestial beings, the only one in the world." Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said.

Wuji nodded.

"It's okay. Next time we meet, I will definitely be able to knock that old guy down with just one slap." Zhu Houzhao said confidently without caring.

After a pause, he continued, "And I feel that he did not lie to us. The relationship between the three of them, father and son, is really bad, and it is difficult for them to join forces."

Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji looked at each other and only half believed what he said.

Because facts cannot be based on feelings alone.

"Let's not talk about that old guy. If he wants to see it, then let him see it. Don't let me find him.

"Old man Zhang, old monk, do you think what I said just now is right?" Zhu Houzhao said with a vengeance, and then looked at Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji with pride and expectation, which made it difficult for the two to answer.

After a moment of hesitation, the two glanced at each other, and Zhang Sanfeng understood and spoke first, saying solemnly: "Your Majesty, your words and those of the Twelve Panic are both very reasonable.

But the specific details will ultimately depend on what Your Majesty does.

Your Majesty treats me with sincerity, and I will be sincere in return.

Next, I will also watch Your Majesty’s efforts to unify the world and see how Your Majesty does.

Will you decide whether to help Your Majesty unify the world?"

This was the decision he made after thinking about it in such a short period of time.

There’s still time to wait and see.

"I think so too." Wuji added straightforwardly.

"That's just like that old bastard." Zhu Houzhao curled his lips, and then said confidently: "Okay, then you just wait and see, I want you to see if I can create an opportunity to unify the world?

Can you all willingly help me unify the world?"

"I hope Your Majesty is not angry." Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile.

"Angry? My mind is unmatched in the world. How could I be so easily angry?" Zhu Houzhao patted his chest and said heroically.

After a pause, he said seriously: "But it is true that I am a little depressed, you still don't trust me enough.

But I think that for talents like you, I need to be more patient, generous, and have more time.

I will give you a day when you will trust me enough to do what I can do."

"Thank you for your tolerance, Your Majesty." Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji said with a smile.

"Nothing." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand casually and looked at Wuji: "By the way, where is the Eighth Division?"

“Your Majesty, I only chased you for a short distance when I sensed that a strange strong man had joined your side.

Just in case, I turned back immediately and didn't chase after the Eighth Master." Wuji said calmly.

He knew very well that what happened to the Eighth Division was not the most important thing.

Zhu Houzhao’s safety is the most important issue, he cannot let anything go.

If he had not returned so quickly, he would not have been able to hear all of Zhu Houzhao's words, and would have been equally shocked.
