The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 332 Sister-in-law is good at sunshine (4600 words)
One for inner strength, the other for physical body.

Speaking of it and looking at it, it seems like it is destiny.

Yuan Tiangang thought in his heart and shook his head slightly at the second young master of the Li family.

Born at the wrong time.

"The Thirteen Tai Chi Moves that can break the sky have also reached the third level. That's fast." Duke Zheng said happily again.

They all knew how difficult it was to practice the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi.

It is truly rare that Shi Potian could reach this level by studying the Thirteen Forms of Tai Chi in just one or two years.

"Yes." Zhang Sanfeng responded with great satisfaction: "Potian's talent in martial arts is indeed rare in the world.

Use the thirteen Tai Chi postures to lay the foundation, and use the Yi Jin Jing to focus on internal strength.

In another year or two, I should be able to break through to the Grandmaster level."

After a pause, he continued, “Yuanba’s speed should be faster.

At the current rate, he will be able to reach the ultimate level of physical grandmaster next year.

Fellow Daoist Yuan, his fate?"

"After working together with fellow Taoists Tianjizi and others to calculate, Yuanba's fate will end when he breaks through to the realm of heaven and man, as expected." Yuan Tiangang said with a slightly condensed and serious expression.

When Zhang Sanfeng and Zheng Gong heard this, their expressions also became serious.

One can imagine how terrifying the heavenly tribulation that comes just after breaking through to the realm of heaven and man will be.

"There is another way to trigger the fate calamity in advance." Yuan Tiangang said hesitantly.

Zhang Sanfeng and the other two looked over.

"Yuan Ba ​​is an unrivaled battlefield killer. If we can kill a brave general with a special fate and who is related to Yuan Ba.

Maybe it can trigger the fate calamity in advance." Yuan Tiangang said solemnly.

Zhang Sanfeng and the other two seemed to be thinking about something. After a few breaths, Duke Zheng asked, "Your Majesty, do you know?"

"Once the calculation results come out, they will be reported to His Majesty immediately." Yuan Tiangang nodded.

Without waiting for the two to ask, he continued, "Your Majesty asked me which situation would be more beneficial to Yuan Ba?"

“If Yuanba reaches the realm of heaven and man, the life calamity will befall him, and its power will be extremely terrifying. If Yuanba goes through the calamity alone, he will definitely die.

But after crossing this period, Yuanba's potential will be further stimulated.

However, if he kills a powerful general with a special fate and triggers the calamity in advance, the power will be smaller. Yuanba will have to face the calamity alone and he will be in danger of death.

If Yuanba survives the catastrophe in this way, his potential will inevitably be reduced. "

"Your Majesty asked again, can anyone else help Yuanba overcome his tribulation?

I answer truthfully, yes.

His Majesty said, it doesn’t matter, he will take action when the time comes.”

After hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Zhang Sanfeng and Zheng Gong both frowned.

"What will happen if Your Majesty lends a helping hand?" Duke Zheng asked directly.

"We can't be sure for now." Yuan Tiangang knew what the two were worried about and shook his head.

"Have you found a powerful general with a special fate?" Duke Zheng asked again.

"There is some clue in Sui Kingdom." Yuan Tiangang said frankly.

Duke Zheng nodded slightly, his eyes slightly dim, but said nothing more.

“In fact, after a few of us made some calculations, we vaguely realized that there is another method that can help Yuanba safely survive the calamity of life and death.

However, several fellow Taoists need to take care of their health and cannot continue to deduce.

Therefore, I am preparing to find a good friend in a few days and ask him to work together to figure out this method. "Yuan Tiangang said in a firm tone.

Zhang Sanfeng and Zheng Gong's brows relaxed slightly.

If there is a safer way, that would be great.

The three of them communicated for a while, and then Zhu Houzhao finished his teaching. He came over with his two silly brothers, looking refreshed.

"Three old men, you can have fun as you please. I will take the two of them out for a walk."

After saying that, he took the two excited teenagers to change their clothes and went out of the palace to go shopping.

The most lively and prosperous capital of the Ming Dynasty, the most attractive place in the world, is extremely attractive to Shi Potian and Li Yuanba.

The main reason is that they have lived in wild mountains and wilderness, or in lonely cages since childhood, so they are naturally curious and intrigued by such lively scenes.

Even if I have seen it many times, I am still happy.

So from time to time, after Zhu Houzhao taught them a lesson, he would take these two silly brothers around the capital.

"How many times have I told you that you should walk with dignity, hold your head high, and ignore your relatives. That's what a real man does."

"If you like it, buy it. We have money, so you can buy whatever you want, as long as you don't snatch it away."

"How old are you? You still like to eat candied haws. How can a hero eat such childish things?
Forget it, give it here, big brother, let me taste it for you and see if it tastes good. "

"See? The reason why the capital of the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous is all thanks to me, your big brother. With me as your big brother leading you, you will definitely go down in history.

You have to protect this prosperity in the future, understand?"

·····
While eating, drinking and having fun, Zhu Houzhao gave instructions from time to time, and the three of them were very happy.

As we walked, we arrived at the Imperial College.

Thinking of something, he went straight to a large room in the medical school, as if he had ignored everyone along the way.

At this time, several great doctors in the medical school, including Cheng Lingsu, Ping Yizhi and others, were constantly discussing and exploring around Yin Zhong in the center.

They did not notice Zhu Houzhao's arrival, but Yin Zhong noticed and immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The sound startled everyone and they turned around and saluted quickly.

"No need to be so polite, I'm just taking a look." Zhu Houzhao said casually, holding some snacks in each hand.

Not to mention Shi Potian and Li Yuanba behind him, their hands and bodies were filled with all kinds of snacks, and their mouths never stopped.

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Lingsu walked naturally to Zhu Houzhao, her pretty and refined face showing a smile that came from the heart.

Zhu Houzhao also showed a friendly smile, freed one hand, and habitually touched Cheng Lingsu's little head, "Lingsu, how are you doing recently?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Lingsu is fine." Cheng Lingsu narrowed her big eyes and smiled with curved eyebrows, like a kitten enjoying Zhu Houzhao's head pat.

"I'm giving you a gift to help you break through to the innate realm. Do you like it?" Zhu Houzhao said proudly.

He had carefully selected the sword he gave as a gift.

"Lingsu likes it very much. I haven't thanked Your Majesty yet." Cheng Lingsu said happily.

Although she did not use the sword, after she received the sword, she would hold it in her hand and dance with it a few times every day.

"We are all family, what is there to thank?" Zhu Houzhao said happily.

"Oh, I haven't introduced two people to you yet." Zhu Houzhao pointed at the two silly brothers behind him and said, "The two brothers I recognize are the second oldest Shi Potian and the third oldest Li Yuanba. They are also your brothers now.

You two, call someone quickly."

Everyone looked over, all curious and surprised.

Shi Potian stopped eating, looked at Cheng Lingsu with clear eyes, smiled innocently and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Li Yuanba said while chewing.

Cheng Lingsu's fair cheeks suddenly turned red with embarrassment and she quickly glanced at Zhu Houzhao.

"Stupid." Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and scolded lightly: "Call me sister."

Cheng Lingsu's heart suddenly darkened.

"Hello, sister. Big brother, sister is so beautiful, aren't you my sister-in-law?" Shi Potian called out obediently, then scratched his head, puzzled.

In his impression, the most beautiful sisters are all his sisters-in-law.

Why isn’t this equally beautiful sister one of them?

Li Yuanba's clear and ignorant eyes brightened slightly at this moment, and he said loudly: "Brother, this is not your sister-in-law, I will help you snatch her away and make her your sister-in-law."

He always remembered that with more sisters-in-law, his elder brother had no time to take care of him.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned. What a mess.

His eyes widened: "Do I need you to rob me?"

"Your Majesty." Just when Zhu Houzhao was about to scold his two foolish brothers, Cheng Lingsu's cheerful voice sounded, persuading: "Yuanba is still young and doesn't understand many things. Don't blame him."

At this moment, Cheng Lingsu's beautiful face was full of smiles.

The look he gave Shi Potian and Li Yuanba was very gentle and kind.

I immediately treated them as my own brothers.

Li Yuanba, who instinctively shrank his neck when his elder brother glared at him, smiled happily and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so nice, just as nice as other sisters-in-law."

Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to say anything, Cheng Lingsu nodded and said with a friendly smile: "Yuanba is also very good, I will take you out to play later, okay?"

"Okay." Li Yuanba's eyes widened and he nodded happily. He hadn't had enough fun yet.

"Where's Potian?" Cheng Lingsu looked at Shi Potian. She was extremely smart and an expert in both medicine and poison, so she saw a lot in a short time.

Both of your Majesty's brothers are not normal.

"Yeah, okay." Shi Potian also nodded repeatedly. He hadn't had enough fun yet.

"Your Majesty, can Lingsu take Potian and Yuanba out for a walk later?" Cheng Lingsu then looked at Zhu Houzhao and said obediently.

"No problem." Zhu Houzhao didn't even think about it, and the words he wanted to say just now disappeared from his mind.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Lingsu said happily, and then asked, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?"

"I took them out of the palace for a walk, and then I thought of Lao and Yin Zhong. How is his injury? Is there any way to treat it?" Zhu Houzhao then remembered his purpose and looked at Yin Zhong.

The expressions of the people who had been watching the excitement for a long time did not change, as if they had seen or heard nothing that had just happened.

But I don’t really have nothing in my mind.

"It seems that it is only a matter of time before Cheng Lingsu enters the palace as a concubine. We should be more careful in the future."

This is the idea of ​​several doctors including Ping Yizhi and Sai Huatuo.

Yin Zhong only looked at Cheng Lingsu a few times and understood why Cheng Lingsu was so young but still dominated the group.

The reason why even treasures like Dragon Balls are in his control.

It's not just because of his extraordinary medical skills, more importantly, it's also because of Zhu Houzhao.

But he didn't care about this relationship.

After all, Yin Tianxue is only his descendant, not his daughter.

It is normal for a figure like Zhu Houzhao to have many outstanding concubines.

His attention was more on Shi Potian and Li Yuanba.

These two young men are not simple.

Especially this Li Yuanba, his physical body has probably reached the level of a grandmaster.

Considering his age, it is truly shocking.

No wonder Zhu Houzhao considered him his younger brother.

Following Zhu Houzhao's words and gaze, everyone's thoughts shifted to business.

"Thank you very much for your concern, Your Majesty." Yin Zhong spoke first.

Several doctors looked at Cheng Lingsu with serious expressions.

Obviously, Cheng Lingsu was the main person and she was the one who answered.

"Your Majesty, we have just conducted a careful inspection and test and found that the dragon balls are indeed effective, but to what extent they can achieve still requires further careful testing," Cheng Lingsu said seriously.

"Well, you guys try your best, and just tell me if you need anything.

Yin Zhong, you also need to be patient and cooperate with the doctors." Zhu Houzhao said.

Everyone agreed.

Zhu Houzhao did not delay Cheng Lingsu and the others' discussion, and took his two silly brothers to wander around the Imperial College.

Less than half an hour later, Cheng Lingsu came alone and took Shi Potian and the other man out shopping.

Zhu Houzhao followed naturally.

It was not until the sun set that Zhu Houzhao brought Shi Potian and the other two back to the palace.

He once again wanted Cheng Lingsu to go to dinner with him.

Formally introduce this good sister to all the concubines.

But Cheng Lingsu refused again, which was a rare display of firmness on her part when facing Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to put her in a difficult position, so he didn't force her.

Watching the familiar figure disappear, Cheng Lingsu took a deep breath, full of fighting spirit.

"I will never enter the palace as a younger sister."

····
The time came to March of the seventh year of Shengwu.

The war in the north of the Sui Dynasty started again.

The sounds of brutal fighting once again spread throughout the world.

The tense atmosphere in the world, which had just been reduced due to the New Year and the cold winter, was raised to a higher level.

Because everyone knows that as time goes by, the battlefield of the Sui Dynasty will inevitably move towards a result.

And the result means that the scale of the war will continue to expand.

The vast majority of people in the world, especially those in small countries, with very few exceptions, do not want that to happen.

But things didn't go the way they thought.

The Battle of Taiyuan became increasingly brutal.

Every day, countless people are devoured by this flesh-and-blood grindstone, but Taiyuan can still hold on on the front battlefield.

However, as the war losses increased, the rear of Taiyuan gradually became unstable.

These instabilities came from the major aristocratic families and also from the uprising armies in various places.

More people of the Sui Dynasty who could not survive had to rebel.

Even the aristocratic families cannot control this situation.

Because these aristocratic families can decide whether an uprising can reach a higher level.

But they were unable to control the sporadic emergence of rebel forces.

In place after place, people who could no longer survive gathered together to rebel.

Most of them were quickly suppressed, after all, such rebellions were very weak.

But their numbers are large and their distribution is wide. If one is eradicated here, two will appear in other places.

The Sui Dynasty had already sent all its elite forces to the north, and it was too late to put out the fire.

Moreover, the uprisings in these places were suppressed, the population decreased, and many aspects were destroyed, so the local government and aristocratic families had even less to exploit.

The collapse is happening like a snowball and is still getting bigger.

Yang Guang became increasingly angry in the palace.

"A bunch of unruly people, unruly people, a bunch of unruly people, the soldiers at the front are fighting against the Tartars, and these unruly people dare to rebel.

Damn it, damn it all."

Furious curses echoed throughout the hall, and the high-ranking officials of the Sui Dynasty present fell silent.

"Why haven't the new batch of soldiers and military rations gathered yet?" Yang Guang, who was angry for a while, suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice.

Like an angry dragon that was forced into a desperate situation, it stared at the officials below fiercely and cruelly.

Even though most of these officials already had other ideas in mind, they couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment.

"Your Majesty, there are more and more people rebelling now.

The situation in all places is not good, I am afraid it will be delayed for a while." A minister stood up and said solemnly.

"Delay? I can delay, but can the front line delay?
Ten days, ten days at most, we must gather them together and send them to the front line."

····
In Daxing city.

In a magnificent mansion.

An old woman with white hair looked worried and was thinking about something.

"Grandma." At this time, a young figure walked in and called out affectionately.

The figure has clear eyes and a gentle face, revealing a sense of innocence and kindness.

"Rizhao, you're out of quarantine. Come here, grandma has something to tell you." The old woman said with a kind smile.

"Grandma, what's the matter?" the young figure asked curiously.

"Rizhao, pack up and let the housekeeper take you to Daming." The old woman said seriously.

"Go to Ming Dynasty! Why go to Ming Dynasty?" the young figure asked in surprise.

"The Great Sui Dynasty can no longer hold on, and the entire Sui Dynasty will soon be in complete chaos.

You are the only bloodline of the General Jingguo Mansion, and you must not be lost.

So, you have to go to Daming, Daming is the safest place in the world." The old woman explained patiently and without question.

The young figure frowned, but instead of refusing, he asked, "Grandma, will you go to Daming with me?"

"Grandma can't leave yet. The General Jingguo's Mansion still needs you to take care of some things. After you finish those things, I will go to Daming to find Rizhao for you." The old woman smiled.

"Then I'll go with grandma." The young figure said immediately.

"Rizhao, be obedient. You go first, grandma will come to find you soon." The old woman's face became serious.
