The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 311 Breakthrough
"This matter is of great importance. I still need to consider it carefully and cannot give you an answer yet. I hope you can forgive me." Li Yuan said frankly with gratitude.

"Of course." Master Yuan nodded, and then said solemnly: "But it is best to make a decision before the Mongol army marches south."

"I understand." Li Yuan nodded.

After saying a few more words, Master Yuan left, and Li Yuan and his son remained silent for a few breaths.

"Dad, my fourth brother..." Li Shimin's tone was worried and heavy, but he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Tell me what you think." Li Yuan said unusually calmly.

"Dad, of the two paths Master Yuan mentioned, the first one is the best for Yuan Ba.

Let's hide for a few years first, when Yuanba is stronger, maybe there will be a turnaround." Li Shimin gritted his teeth secretly.

Li Yuan said nothing, but just looked at Li Shimin deeply.

After a few breaths, Li Shimin lowered his head and continued in a low voice: "But for my Li family, the second way is more worth a try."

Li Yuan's eyes softened a little, "Go on."

Li Shimin sighed in his heart, his heart hardened, and he continued: "Send Yuanba to Daming. If Emperor Shengwu can accept Yuanba, my Li family will also greatly improve its status in the heart of Emperor Shengwu.

If the Ming Dynasty occupied the Sui Kingdom, then the many aristocratic families within the Sui Kingdom might not be headed by my Li family. "

“If the Holy Martial Emperor does not accept Yuanba, he will never reject Yuanba or kill him immediately.

Instead, put it aside for later and remove it secretly.

Regardless of what happens, my Li family has shown sincerity to the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said expressionlessly: "Shimin, you must remember that no matter when or where, you must always put your family first."

"Yes, son, I understand." Li Shimin replied solemnly.

"Ah." As the clan leader, Li Yuan, as a father, took the leading position and sighed softly, "Your fourth brother is my biological son, how can I not care about him?
However, as the head of the family, the father must make a choice.

For the prosperity of the family, everyone has to make sacrifices, including the father. "

"Son understands your difficulties, father." Li Shimin nodded.

"Well, you don't have to worry too much. I think going to Ming Dynasty is indeed the best way for Yuanba.

Given the character of the Emperor Shengwu, he would definitely be able to accommodate Yuan Ba.

As for the first way, humph, ridiculous." Li Yuan's eyes became sharp, and he said with disdain: "Can hiding in the mountains for a few years solve the problem?

In the end, you still have to face your fate, right?"

Li Shimin nodded in agreement.

But he knew in his heart that the most important reason was family.

It is a time of chaos and great strife. The fourth brother makes the Li family feel embarrassed, but the fourth brother is also a huge bargaining chip that may bring huge benefits to the Li family, allowing them to safely survive the chaotic times and even become stronger.

How could the Li family let the fourth brother live in seclusion in the mountains?

As for the fact that the Li family may have an additional grandmaster who is a powerful person in a few years, who knows what the Li family will become in a few years in this chaotic world?

Moreover, my fourth brother’s mind is not normal, and there is also that fateful disaster.

Also, will it be safe if you reach the Grand Master level before being born again?

It's impossible. By then, the various countries will not be able to accommodate my fourth brother.

It is impossible for the Li family to give up their immediate interests and gamble on a future that is completely uncertain and has little hope a few years later.

Unless they can be sure that the fourth brother can reach the realm of heaven and man in a few years, only then will the Li family be willing to take a gamble.

But this is also impossible. Putting aside other things, the fate is like a sword hanging over your head.

He will either become a general when Fourth Brother breaks through to the level of Grand Master, or he will descend when he breaks through to the level of Heaven and Man.

If you can’t get through, you will die.

There is no way the Li family would go gambling.

So there is only the second way.

Li Shimin felt very unwilling, not only because of his fourth brother's matter, but also because of the feeling that his life and death were out of control.

But he had no choice but to endure it.

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that Emperor Shengwu had ambitions to rule the world and would most likely accommodate his fourth brother.

"Dad, why don't you send my fourth brother to the Ming Dynasty now?" Li Shimin thought for a while and said.

Now that he had made the decision, he was extremely decisive.

"You are still young." Li Yuan sighed and said meaningfully, "Don't be impatient, we need to wait and see.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is fighting against the Mongols, Jin, and Liao.

Although the Ming Dynasty had a profound foundation and astonishing power, it was not necessarily as stable as a mountain.

What if the Mongols really occupied the Sui Dynasty?

Let's wait and see. Before your fourth brother breaks through to the Grandmaster level, we can continue to watch."

Li Shimin's heart tightened and he wanted to say something, but when he thought of his family, he remained silent.

Youzhou.

Luo Yi, Duke of Yanshan, known as the King of Beiping in the north, and Song Que, Duke of Zhennan, a member of the Song warlord in the south, were the two major warlord forces in the Sui Dynasty, one in the south and one in the north.

There is no need to say much about its strength.

The Li family complained that Yang Guang's reinforcements had not arrived yet, and the Luo family would also complain.

"At this point, Yang Guang actually took the opportunity to suppress us. He is really hopeless." Luo Yi said bitterly with a gloomy face.

Below, several trusted generals immediately followed suit and started cursing Yang Guang.

Luo Yi nodded secretly. After discussing military affairs, Luo Yi left behind one person, who was young, handsome and heroic. He was his son Luo Cheng.

"Cheng'er, your father has decided to send you to Ming Dynasty." Luo Yi looked at his son and said seriously.

"Daming! Dad, how can I go to Daming at this time?" Luo Cheng was shocked and quickly refused.

"It is at this time that you must go to Ming Dynasty." Luo Yi said with a straight face and without any doubt.

Luo Cheng wanted to refute, but he was afraid of his father's majesty and dared not say more. "Once the Mongol army moves south, this place will soon become a living hell.

Seeing that Yang Guang is hopeless, it's too dangerous for you to stay here.

You are the only heir of my Luo family, and nothing can happen to you, so you have to go to Daming.

Take your mother and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun to Ming."

“Don’t rush to join the Ming court, wait a moment.

It just so happens that your cousin is also in the Ming Dynasty. He has now broken through to the innate realm and is the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty’s army.

When you arrive in Daming, go find him directly and ask him to help you settle down.

You must remember, if I die in this battle, you will immediately join the Ming Dynasty.

If I'm not dead yet, you can wait a little longer." Luo Yi said expressionlessly.

Luo Cheng's eyes immediately turned red, and he shook his head and said, "Dad, I won't leave."

"Cheng'er." Luo Yi's face darkened and he scolded, "As a man, how can you be so fussy and act like a girl?
You have grown up, and you have to support the Luo family, do you understand?"

Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement under his father's gaze.

"Okay." Luo Yi smiled.

In mid-to-late November, extremely brutal battles broke out in Youzhou and Taiyuan.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties. Finally, on the eve of the arrival of reinforcements from the Sui Dynasty, coupled with heavy snowfall, the Tiele and Tuyuhun retreated covered in wounds.

This heavy snow seemed to have made the whole world quiet.

The cold winter slightly reduced the murderous aura that permeated the world.

But everyone knows that this is only temporary.

All the forces involved are accumulating strength and waiting to explode.

By then, the world will surely fall into a greater cloud of war.

Time flies and it’s December.

December 18th.

Tai Chi Thirteen Forms Level 49995 (Not yet qualified: 50000/)

The fourth level of Mingshen Wudian (107660/120000)

Another day of sun has arrived. Zhu Houzhao stopped practicing and looked at his talent.

Immediately, excitement appeared on his face.

finally reached.

"Old man, Old man Zhang, Old man Wuji, come on, follow me to break through."

With an impatient voice transmission, the three Zheng Gongs who were in different places were suddenly surprised and happy, full of anticipation.

A breakthrough is coming!

Without alarming anyone else, Zhu Houzhao just gave Wei Jinzhong a few instructions and then quietly headed southeast.

Soon, Zheng Gong, Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji reunited with Zhu Houzhao, and they only brought Shi Potian with them.

The three of them looked very solemn and serious, which made Shi Potian behave himself and not dare to ask any more questions.

After walking for more than 300 miles, Zhu Houzhao stopped in a wilderness deep in the mountains.

"I'm starting, you all watch carefully."

Zhu Houzhao said this with high spirits and full of confidence, and then began to practice the fourth level of Tai Chi Thirteen Postures.

This fourth level of Tai Chi Thirteen Postures may no longer be called Tai Chi Thirteen Postures.

It should be said that it is the 72 forms of Tai Chi.

Each move is also much more complicated than the third level.

Every move seems to carry the natural connotation of heaven and earth.

Zheng Gong, Zhang Sanfeng and the other two had seen this many times, but every time they still couldn't help but sigh.

Starting from the very beginning of the Thirteen Tai Chi Postures, layer by layer, His Majesty forcibly opened up another path to heaven.

It is also different from other magical skills in that it is mainly used to strengthen the foundation.

Even Duke Zheng and his companions felt incredible countless times.

As they deepened their practice of the second and third levels of the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi, this sense of wonder became more and more intense.

"Potian, watch carefully and don't make any sound." Zhang Sanfeng reminded Shi Potian who was also watching with great interest.

Shi Potian nodded heavily.

It takes about two quarters of an hour to complete the 72 Tai Chi moves.

After the fight, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be in a trance, or even obsessed with something.

At this moment, he was integrated with the heaven and earth. He was the sky, he was the earth, he was the mountains, rivers, and all things in nature.

The body moved naturally and performed the 72 Tai Chi moves again.

However, the 72 Tai Chi postures have changed, little by little, as if they are transforming, evolving, and becoming perfect.

"boom!"

As a result, the power of heaven and earth poured into his body crazily, and the scope became larger and larger, until it included an area of ​​more than fifty miles.

Zheng Gong, Zhang Sanfeng, Wuji and Shi Potian were already moved by what they saw.

Shi Potian simply felt reverence and admiration.

Big brother is so awesome!

Duke Zheng was more happy.

Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji were so shocked that they couldn't help but look at each other.
