Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 112: Zhu Di's inquiry about Zhu Houcong's identity (6K)

Zhu Di and Zhu Biao were both slightly stunned.

Can the splashes caused by artillery shells fly so far?
At this time, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di suddenly thought of Lan Yu's fighting style.

The main point is not to be afraid of death, and the brave will win when two meet in a narrow road. Sometimes, the enemy is attacked by firearms and artillery.

They will soon lose their combat effectiveness, and at this time you need to seize the opportunity and figure out when the enemy's morale will collapse.

Then command the army to attack.

The closer the guess time is, the more captives and spoils you can capture, but it is also more dangerous.

The damage caused by artillery is small, the explosion is the main thing, the splash caused by the explosion.

Look.

Lan Yu, this madman, probably rushed forward without waiting for the artillery to stop firing.

Although it is risky, Lan Yu's tactic is indeed powerful.

Under the cover of artillery, the cavalry charged, and if the enemy did not have a good military discipline system, it would be easily defeated.

"Forget it, as long as you come back safely, you still need to keep a good distance when you charge into battle in the future."

Lan Yu said indifferently.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern..."

Lan Yu looked at Zhu Di, still somewhat wary.

Ever since the last competition, he has remembered Zhu Di in his heart. He is Zhu Biao's best friend.

Perhaps Zhu Biao was not on guard against his younger brothers, but as his close friends and elders, they naturally had to be on guard to see if anyone was coveting the throne.

However, what he didn't expect was that Zhu Di actually showed his abilities.

He actually chose not to become a vassal.

Directly accompany Zhu Biao and become a prince who is a miracle doctor.

"Well, my father is very busy, so he specially ordered me to come and welcome you."

"Let's go."

Apart from the Northern Expedition, nothing major happened this year.

Zhu Di waited quietly for time to pass faster.

I dream a lot and sometimes I really lose track of time.

Fortunately, there is a three-day buffer, otherwise the accelerated passage of time would really make people lose the sense of time.

Without a concept of time, people will go crazy and collapse sooner or later.

……

at the same time.

In the tavern, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping were still playing cards.

The more he lost, the more unwilling Zhu Gaoxu became to accept the defeat.

In order to prevent Zhu Gaoxu from getting angry, Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping deliberately lost to Zhu Gaoxu.

But he still refused to accept it.

I played more than thirty games, and finally won one.

This was totally unacceptable to the competitive Zhu Gaoxu.

"I just don't believe it. My luck is so bad today! I don't even have a good hand!"

As he said this, he was about to fight Zhu Gaosui for three hundred rounds.

Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping spoke quickly.

"Second brother, why don't you just forget it? Maybe you are just unlucky today."

"Tomorrow, come back tomorrow."

It seems that if the fighting continues, Zhu Gaoxu will really get angry.

Zhu Gaoxu got angry, and they couldn't beat either of them, and both were killed.

Fortunately, at this moment, Zhu Gaosui suddenly saw a figure standing at the door.

It was the old Taoist priest.

When he saw the old Taoist priest, Zhu Gaosui put away his playful smile and stood up suddenly.

He looked at the old Taoist priest with a solemn expression.

I finally waited for you.

At this time, Di Ping also stood up quickly.

All eyes turned to the old Taoist priest.

"Sure enough, the doorbell didn't ring."

Of course, they did not act rashly.

If I scare him away, I don’t know when I’ll be able to snare him again.

The old Taoist priest, wearing a Taoist robe, walked towards Zhuang Mu with steps that followed the hexagrams.

At this time, Zhuang Mu naturally also saw the old Taoist priest.

When the old Taoist priest looked at Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping in front of him.

His eyes were very alert.

The looks in these people's eyes were extremely unfriendly.

Out of vigilance, he couldn't help but take two steps back.

As long as there is danger, he will retreat immediately.

Seeing the old Taoist priest preparing to run away, Zhu Gaosui quickly sat down.

He laughed and said, "Hahaha, go on."

Although Di Ping didn't know why Zhu Gaosui did this, it was definitely right for him to follow his lead.

Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a moment, looked at the old Taoist priest, and then sat down.

At this time, Zhu Gaosui spoke in a low voice.

"Don't act rashly, lest he escape again. Let's continue playing cards."

Zhu Gaoxu and Di Ping looked at each other and nodded.

The result was something Zhu Gaosui did not expect.

The old Taoist priest hesitated at the door for nearly half an hour.

That’s right, he was looking at them for a full half hour.

This has already made him alarmed. His suspicion is too strong.

They checked the old Taoist priest's identity, there was actually nothing else to it, it was just that the old man was displeased with him.

Therefore, there is no need to make the situation awkward.

The old Taoist priest was still struggling at this time.

"These three people look very strange. If I go any further, my life might be in danger."

"But I want to dream and become a god."

"I've already figured out how to escape from the descendants' arrows. Am I just going to give up like this?"

"No, but what if these three people plot against me while I'm dreaming?"

"Or... bring someone in?"

Suspicion and desire, two emotions were swirling and fighting in the old Taoist's mind.

Suspicion made him afraid that these people would do something bad to him.

Desire, in these days, he has been thinking hard almost every day, how to avoid the arrows of Hou Yi and survive from his hands.

As long as he can survive from the hands of his descendants, he will be the only sun in the sky, the only light.

But once you walk out of this door, you can't be sure when it will open next time.

Zhuang Mu looked at the old Taoist priest at the door.

Guessing in mind.

His paranoia is extremely serious, and it is not from the Yongle Dynasty. He has skin ulcers and looks like an emperor.

One can feel that this old Taoist priest has a very gloomy mind, which is not something an ordinary old Taoist priest can possess.

Moreover, he is very afraid of death.

For a glass of wine, test yourself twice, and make sure it is not poisonous several times before you dare to drink it.

In addition, his Taoist name is Fei Yuan Zhen Jun, who is extremely eager to cultivate immortality.

The clothing and other things are also in the style of the Ming Dynasty
Relying on these, we can basically judge the identity of the old Taoist priest in front of us.

Among the people I know, only Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houcong, meets these conditions.

Suspicious, afraid of death, and extremely intelligent.

When playing cards, he was able to compete with Yao Guangxiao and had an excellent memory.

At the same time, the skin is ulcerated, probably caused by taking the elixir.

If I remember correctly, the old Taoist priest didn't take the elixir himself in the early days. Later, when he got older, he started to take the elixir himself.

I didn't expect that two emperors of the Ming Dynasty could gather in this small tavern of mine.

What a coincidence.

However, if I remember correctly, Jiajing should have lived in Xiyuan for a long time. How could he come to my place for no reason?

It seems that Jiajing's old suspicious habit has come back and he will probably leave the tavern soon.

After all, the brothers Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxu are indeed scary.

At this time, Jiajing hesitated at the door, glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and the other two, and then glanced at Zhu Di and Zhu Wei.

Finally, he turned his gaze towards Zhuang Mu.

He adjusted his clothes, took a deep breath, and walked towards Zhuang Mu with steady steps.

His desire to become an immortal through practicing Taoism made him take this step boldly for the first time.

"I want wine that can make me dream."

Before Zhuang Mu could respond, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly stood up and shouted happily, "Big Bomb! I won! Hahahaha."

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu standing up, Zhu Gaosui kicked him twice.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Zhu Gaoxu coughed twice: "Ahem, sorry."

Zhuang Mu naturally ignored him at this time and pushed the wine directly in front of Zhu Houcong.

This time, Zhu Houcong did not doubt or suspect Zhuang Mu. He took the glass of wine and passed by Zhu Di.

Come to the lounge chair at the edge.

After drinking the glass of wine, he lay down on the recliner, quietly waiting to fall into a dream.

Gradually, Zhu Houcong began to fall into a dream.

……

Still high above, still looking down on all living beings.

There are still nine suns around me, but the only difference is... no one knows where their descendants have gone.

It just so happened that he could experience the solar body for a while longer, seemingly in addition to normal movement.

There are still many limitations on the Sun's body.

At this time, he felt that his true form was like a bird.

After training, the body resembles the shape of a crane, with two scriptures under a thousand pine trees.

I came to ask but I can't help but say, the clouds are in the sky and the water is in the bottle.

In an instant, Zhu Houcong turned into a golden crow. Looking at this scene, Zhu Houcong was ecstatic.

"Hahaha! So this is my true form! The Golden Crow."

"So this is what it feels like to travel between heaven and earth and be free."

After Zhu Houcong turned into the Golden Crow, he began to travel between heaven and earth, but wherever he went, he saw everything withered and flourishing.

As long as you get close to these plants and organisms, the high temperature emitted from your body will drain their water.

"Strange, where is Hou Yi?"

He couldn't believe that he had flown a thousand miles in just thirty breaths.

Hou Yi could even shoot himself.

……

In the tavern.

Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping came to Zhuang Mu at this time.

He then asked, "Zhuang Mu, what does the immortal dream that the old Taoist just mentioned mean?"

“Is this a dream of becoming an immortal?”

Zhu Gaoxu was a little curious. After all, they were clear about Zhuang Mu's methods, and the dream was extremely real.

Isn't the dream of being an immortal the dream of being an immortal? This is much more interesting than being an emperor.

Looking at the curious eyes of the three people, Zhuang Mu nodded.

"Why? Are you interested too?"

Zhu Gaoxu naturally nodded without hesitation.

"Who doesn't want to become an immortal? Just give us a cup, one for each!"

Although Zhu Gaoxu's dreaming time is cooling down, Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping's dreaming time has not yet cooled down.

As long as Zhu Gaosui or Di Ping is the main dreamer, they can experience the feeling of being an immortal together.

Zhuang Mu did not refuse.

Then he looked towards Yao Guangxiao and said, "Old monk, do you want it?"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head.

To be honest, when he was a Taoist priest, he did think about seeking immortals and asking for the way, but later he thought it through.

What's the point of seeking immortals and asking for the truth? If you believe in it, it exists; if you don't, it doesn't exist. There must be real immortals.

Taoism, there are so many people in Taoism, why is there no one who has successfully become an immortal?

Seeing this, Zhuang Mu immediately prepared three glasses of wine.

Pushed in front of the three people.

"Third brother, you will be the main dreamer this time, drink quickly! I can't wait to experience what it feels like to be an immortal."

Zhu Gaosui took the wine handed to him by Zhu Gaoxu.

At this moment, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

With the corner of his mouth slightly raised, he turned and looked at Zhu Houcong who had just fallen asleep.

"Second brother, why do you need me to be the dream master?" "Isn't there a ready-made one?"

When Zhu Gaoxu heard this, he was stunned. Yes! This old Taoist priest was dreaming of immortality.

It’s ready.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Hahaha, yes, why didn't I think of that?"

Not only can you experience the feeling of being an immortal, but you can also test the identity of this old Taoist priest.

Kill two birds with one stone. The third brother is smart and thoughtful.

So Zhu Gaoxu drank the wine without hesitation.

He came to the old Taoist priest's side and lay down. Just as he was about to hold the old Taoist priest's hand.

But I found that... the old Taoist priest's skin had ulcerated.

This scene immediately made Zhu Gaoxu frown.

"Third brother, this man's skin is ulcerated, could he be sick?"

If it's contagious, then we're screwed, right?
Zhu Gaosui also remained silent. Who was this person? Why did he have skin disease?

When the three of them hesitated, Zhuang Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, this person's illness is not an infectious disease. He just ate too many pills, which caused the skin to ulcerate."

“It’s not contagious.”

After getting Zhuang Mu's answer, the three of them felt relieved and shook Zhu Houcong's hand.

Fortunately, there is no ulcer on the palm, only the skin on the arm is ulcerated, so it should be fine if I don’t touch it.

As Zhu Gaoxu fell asleep, Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping also fell asleep.

……

Soon, Zhu Gaoxu gradually woke up. At this time, he found that his upper body was naked and his body was strong and powerful.

Holding a bow in his hand.

He could feel that his body contained very powerful strength.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly discovered.

"Why is it so hot?"

When he looked up, Zhu Gaoxu was stunned.

Damn, why are there ten suns wandering above my head?

Is this the world of becoming immortal? Even the sun is so different that it takes ten of them.

At the beginning, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about the ten suns in the sky. He wanted to find Zhu Gaosui and Di Ping first.

"Old Third, Di Ping, where are you?"

Just as I shouted this, a voice rang out.

"Prince Han, I'm here!"

Zhu Gaoxu looked around and saw that because of the ten suns in the sky, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees had dried up.

After looking around, I couldn't find Di Ping anywhere.

"Di Ping, where are you? Why can't I see you?"

Di Ping quickly said, "Prince Han, I am in your hands."

In hand?

This bow? Zhu Gaoxu was stunned. Looking at the big bow in his hand, he asked tentatively, "Di Ping, is this you?"

The bow trembled slightly, and then a voice came out: "Prince Han, it's me."

Zhu Gaoxu: …

Di Ping: ...

Is this how it is played in the world of immortal cultivation? It can actually turn into a bow?

Fortunately, Zhuang Mu appeared at this time.

"Hello, how are you both."

When he saw Zhuang Mu, Zhu Gaoxu quickly explained: "Zhuang Mu, what's going on?"

"How did Di Ping turn into a bow?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Mu explained.

"Oh, this, the world of immortal cultivation is like this."

"Putting a person in a weapon and refining a person into a weapon is normal. Don't worry too much about it."

"Of course, the most important thing is the position that this guest has given himself in his heart."

“The choice of characters is sometimes based on your own perception of yourself.”

Obviously, Di Ping has always believed that he is just a weapon.

As a Jinyiwei, you only need weapons that are loyal to the emperor.

Naturally, it became a weapon.

"Don't underestimate this bow. It's a divine weapon."

As a general, Zhu Gaoxu naturally knew the importance of weapons to his soldiers.

He could feel the extraordinary nature of the bow in his hand.

Holding the bow, Zhu Gaoxu felt that he was very strong now, so he asked.

"So what should I do now?"

"Your name is Hou Yi. As for what you are going to do now, I don't think I need to say more."

Hou Yi? Why does this name sound familiar?

At this time, Di Ping spread the word: "Your Majesty, Hou Yi shot down the sun."

When Zhu Gaoxu heard the words "Houyi shooting the sun", he suddenly remembered.

My mother seemed to have told me this little story when I was a child. It seemed that she told me this story when I just learned to read.

"I see. It means shooting down the nine suns in the sky, right?"

Without waiting for Zhuang Mu to respond.

Zhu Gaoxu immediately drew his bow, took aim, and prepared to test his accuracy first.

But he never expected that Zhuang Mu would smile faintly and say, "I advise you to change your target."

"Change it? Why?"

"Because he's your brother."

Obviously, Zhu Gaoxu became Houyi, Di Ping became the bow, and Zhu Gaosui became the Golden Crow, one of the ten suns in the sky.

When he saw Zhu Gaosui become the sun, he was a little surprised.

Since this person is Zhu Gaosui, it is naturally impossible for him to kill his brother for the sake of justice.

So he turned the arrow, aimed at one of the suns, pulled the bowstring to its full length, and then an arrow appeared in his hand.

Let go! Whoosh!

The arrow cut through the sky and passed straight past the sun.

Oops, missed.

I haven't practiced archery for a long time, so I'm a little rusty, but I'm not afraid.

continue!

With the second arrow, Zhu Gaoxu easily shot the sun hanging in the sky.

Then, a creature that looked like a bird fell down with an arrow stuck in its body.

Zhu Houcong and Zhu Gaosui were both a little panicked when they saw this scene.

Especially Zhu Houcong.

"Houyi!"

"I want to see if you can hit me."

The rest of the suns began to flee frantically. Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu directly shot three arrows at them.

call out!call out!call out!
I could immediately feel that the air was much cooler.

Zhu Gaosui then discovered that this person did not seem to be aiming at him, so he guessed that this person should be his second brother.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Gaosui transformed into a golden crow and came to the ground.

Facing Zhu Gaoxu who was still aiming and shooting arrows, he asked tentatively: "Second brother?"

Zhu Gaoxu still aimed at the remaining suns and said perfunctorily.

"Old Three, wait a moment while I shoot down the other suns."

At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu asked: "Zhuang Mu, what role does the old Taoist priest play?"

Zhuang Mu pointed at a golden crow that was fleeing madly.

"That's the one you shot several arrows at."

I have to say that Jiajing was indeed very smart and knew that there was no way to escape the straight line.

He used the other Golden Crows as shields and moved in an S shape, causing Zhu Gaoxu to shoot several times in a row without hitting the target.

"No wonder, I was wondering why I couldn't shoot."

The other Golden Crows only knew how to run in a straight line, but the old Taoist priest's Golden Crow was very special.

Soon, there were only two golden crows left in the sky, and the rest were shot down by Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Houcong looked up at the sky and saw that he was the only sun, and he felt relieved.

As a result, when looking at the ground, I saw that there was actually a golden crow beside Houyi.

Zhu Houcong was stunned.

“Give me an explanation!!!”

Zhuang Mu came to Zhu Houcong in an instant and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhu Houcong pointed at the Golden Crow beside Zhu Gaoxu and said angrily.

"Didn't we agree that I just need to survive? Why didn't Hou Yi shoot the golden crow next to him?!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Mu explained.

"Oh, well, it doesn't say that Jinwu can't bribe Houyi."

"This Golden Crow is related to Hou Yi."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui were brothers, so they were indeed related.

Bribery? Relationship?

Originally, these two words sounded normal to him, and they were not unpleasant at all.

Because he is the object of bribery, the object of relationship, and the beneficiary.

And now, Zhu Houcong has become a victim, and naturally he hates these two words to the extreme.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was also preparing to scare the old Taoist priest.

He continued to draw his bow and aim at Zhu Houcong.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Houcong suddenly felt a little tired.

I have finally managed to use these so-called "brothers and sisters" as shields.

In the end you told me that the peaches were picked by someone with connections.

Alas, the way of immortality is unfair!
Is it impossible to survive in the fairy world without some background?

Just when Zhu Houcong had no choice but to close his eyes and accept the fact.

Houyi did not shoot the arrow.

Instead, he slowly put down the bow. This scene made Zhu Houcong stunned.

"This is?"

Immediately afterwards, the "connected person" Jinwu Zhu Gaosui came in front of Zhu Houcong.

And said in a bird's language: "Brother, don't be so nervous, we won't hurt you."

"Now, I ask you questions."

Although he didn't understand what he was going to do, Zhu Houcong nodded in order to save his life.

Then, two golden crows came to the ground, and Zhu Gaosui immediately asked.

"Who are you? Where are you from? What's your name?"

As soon as Zhu Gaosui opened his mouth, Zhu Houcong noticed something was wrong.

Strange, isn’t this Golden Crow a brother or sister of mine?
Why would you ask such a weird question?

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Houcong did not reveal his true identity, but just said lightly.

"I am a Taoist priest, and my nickname is Fei Yuan Zhen Jun."

Zhu Gaosui was a little impatient, as he knew all these things.

"I know. I'm asking you, what's your real name? Where are you from?"

Zhu Houcong didn't react at first and answered directly.

"My name is Zhu Hou..."

The voice paused. Did he know that he was a Taoist priest?

Could it be the two people in the tavern?

Sensing something unusual, Zhu Houcong directly severed his own heart meridians, and then the dream world collapsed.

Then Zhu Houcong woke up.

When I got up, I saw someone holding my hand.

Zhu Houcong looked towards Zhuang Mu and he already knew in his mind that Houyi and Jinwu were these two people.

Although I don’t know what role the other person plays, he or she should be in my dream.

Zhu Houcong was just about to stand up and leave.

Coincidentally, Zhu Di also woke up at this time.

Seeing Zhu Houcong beside him, he said, "Taoist, if I am not mistaken, you should also be the emperor."

Zhu Houcong was about to step out of the tavern when he stopped.

Me? Also?

His expression was unusually cold.

During the Jiajing reign, a traitor who called himself "I" appeared, and he was completely unaware of it.

It's happening right under our noses. How rampant.

Just because he lives in the Western Garden and doesn't attend court doesn't mean that he really doesn't care about anything or ask anything.

Zhu Di stood up, rubbed his head, and asked, "Which dynasty are you the emperor of?"
