The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 48: New Dragon Takes Over Old Dragon
"Your Majesty, your words are sincere. If you need me, I will do my best and will do my best."

A tall, thin and upright figure with calm eyes and a look of wisdom spoke solemnly, with a hint of the martial arts world in his tone.

Zhu Youtang did not hide anything and revealed his plan in its entirety, then he quietly looked at the mighty king of the Ming Dynasty.

He is also the only living king of a different surname in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, although this prince has a transcendent status, his influence in the court is very small now, and many people have never even heard of his name.

Not as high as his reputation as the Ghost King in the martial arts world.

However, the level of trust is beyond doubt.

After a moment's silence, the Mighty King of the Great Ming Dynasty said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, this plan is extremely bold, and the core is the Crown Prince. I wonder if this old minister can meet His Majesty first?"

"I have already sent someone to call the prince over." Zhu Youtang said without surprise.

Xu Ruowu, apart from possessing the strength of a grandmaster, is also well-known for his ability to communicate with ghosts and gods and to read people's minds.

He must have wanted to see Zhao'er's face, and he happened to want to listen.

Not long after.

"Dad, what do you want me to do? Is there anyone powerful you can introduce to me?"

The voice arrived before the body arrived, echoing throughout the palace with a bit of recklessness, carelessness and expectation.

Xu Ruowu remained calm as he watched a figure, still childish but already beginning to show signs of strength, rush into the palace like a dragon or tiger, unstoppable.

Finally saw it!
A thought flashed through his mind and he looked intently.

The next moment, there was a slight surprise in his eyes.

What a real dragon and tiger!
Looking more closely, shock appeared in the depths of his eyes.

Unpredictable!
"Grand Master! He is indeed a powerful man. Dad, is this also my uncle?" Zhu Houzhao said as he approached intimately and looked at Xu Ruowu curiously.

Xu Ruowu was stunned by this action. He wanted to take a step back, but held back.

"Zhao'er, this is my mighty king of the Ming Dynasty, you must not be rude to me." Zhu Youtang raised his hand and said.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince," Xu Ruowu said with a slight bow.

"Mighty King! I know, he is the only king of a different surname in the Ming Dynasty.

Proficient in ghosts, gods and physiognomy.

"Old prince, how do I communicate with ghosts and gods? Can you teach me?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he said more intimately with some expectation.

"If Your Highness is interested, I will tell you everything." Xu Ruowu said gently as he continued to observe calmly.

"Okay, hahaha, old prince, please teach me quickly." Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and said impatiently.

"Zhao'er, the war is the most important thing. Let's talk about other things after the war." Zhu Youtang said to Xu Ruowu.

Zhu Houzhao thought about it and decided that, indeed, he had to fight the war first.

He nodded, and then said a little worriedly: "Okay, old prince, after the war, you have to teach me."

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Xu Ruowu said with a smile.

"Old Prince, what do you think of this battle?" Zhu Youtang looked at Xu Ruowudao.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to follow Your Highness into the war." Xu Ruowu said solemnly.

Zhu Youtang smiled with satisfaction.

It is not an empty choice, but the meaning represented by this choice.

Xu Ruowu believed that if there were no accidents in this battle, Zhaoer would return safely.

"With another great master, I will surely be even more invincible." Zhu Houzhao laughed happily when he heard it.

After discussing some details, Zhu Houzhao left, and Zhu Youtang immediately asked, "How is it?"

"Your Majesty, I only saw three words: unfathomable." Xu Ruowuzhi said.

"Unpredictable~!" Zhu Youtang frowned, "What does this mean?"

"Just as it is so precious that it is beyond words, I cannot predict the future of Your Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Ruowu said solemnly.

"It's priceless! Old Prince, do you mean that Zhao'er's future will be infinitely bright?" Zhu Youtang said a little excitedly.

"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. I can't be sure, but I am more inclined to the former." Xu Ruowu was silent for a moment and said cautiously.

"Hahaha, great." Zhu Youtang laughed happily. He felt more relieved when he heard Xu Ruowu's words.

Xu Ruowu looked at Zhu Youtang's face calmly and frowned secretly.

Only a few months.

When I estimated that Your Majesty's life span should have been thirty-six.

Is the power of the unpredictable face so overbearing?

He was clearly not yet an adult, only a dozen years old. Logically, he should still be growing, but even the emperor could not resist him.

Anyone who stands in the way will die.

True dragons rise and old dragons fall.

This battle may be the beginning of the prince's rise.

"Old Prince and Crown Prince, I'm sorry to trouble you." After laughing, Zhu Youtang said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will protect your safety until my death." Xu Ruowu responded immediately.

I was calm about the life and death I had just observed.

Because he has seen too much death.

Even the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty could only be moved by numbers of two or three digits.

The person in front of me is not among them.

But after hesitating for a moment, he said with a heavy face, "Your Majesty, I have something to say that may offend the majesty of heaven. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"Your Highness, please feel free to speak. I will never be angry." Zhu Youtang said with a magnanimous smile.

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself, otherwise I'm afraid..." Xu Ruowu showed an unspeakable secret on his face.

Zhu Youtang's face froze, but he really didn't look angry. He just sighed, "Old Prince, you can see that my body can't hold on for much longer."

The emperor of the Zhu family was indeed a rare and generous person.

Xu Ruowu had no thoughts for a moment and couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Prince, how long can I hold on?" Zhu Youtang cheered up and asked in a solemn voice.

"I'm afraid, less than ten months." Xu Ruowu said in a low voice.

After saying this, his face turned pale and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Zhu Youtang was shocked, but when he saw his expression, he suddenly understood. He suppressed his turbulent emotions and said quickly, "Old Prince, I have caused you trouble."

Any fortune teller who reveals the secrets of heaven will be punished by heaven.

This is especially serious when it comes to the life span of a country's emperor.

"This is what I should do." Xu Ruowu said in a deep voice, enduring the consequences of his declining will.

He has no regrets in his heart, and he will say it out loud no matter how many times it happens.

First, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor must make preparations early.

Second, it was for himself. The moment he saw it, he was already in the game.

It is a part of the succession process between the old dragon and the new dragon.

"Your Highness, please go and rest first. I also need to think carefully about this." Zhu Youtang said with a gloomy expression.

"I'll take my leave." Xu Ruowu bowed.

After Xu Ruowu left, Zhu Youtang looked even more depressed.

It’s not even October yet!
God, why have you been so unkind to me?
Zhu Youtang looked into the distance with confused eyes, and suddenly, he shook his head and cheered up.

Fortunately, I still have my photo.

This battle, this battle... must be fought.

The time should be enough for me to survive this battle.

We must survive this battle.

(Please read and support me, thank you.)
