Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 137: Confidence, Confidence? Or Stupidity?

"ε=(ο｀*)))Alas!"

"Since you know this, why are you so naive? I have entered the Zhixuan realm. I can send my energy a hundred steps with a flick of my finger. I am invincible. You and I are less than three meters apart. Put down the dagger, go out and kill yourself, don't let mother see."

Li Wuchang sighed deeply, not knowing whether to be glad that his brother was not a complete fool without brains, or to be sad that he only had such a little bit of cleverness.

Not to mention that they were less than three meters apart, even ten meters away.

He wanted to save people, and with Li Wu's ability, he was able to make Li Shu unable to react.

"Hehe, hehe, haha, hahahahahaha!"

Li Shu's laughter gradually grew louder and louder, and finally he laughed out loud, almost like a madman.

"Brother, big brother, my good big brother."

"Am I really that bad in your eyes?"

As he spoke, Li Shu's aura erupted, sweeping towards the Li family members with an overwhelming sense of oppression. The first to bear the brunt of the attack was Li Wu, who stood in front of him.

"You... refer to the Xuan realm?" Li Wu's pupils shrank, as if he saw something incredible.

He has always been well aware of his brother's abilities.

Although he has some martial arts skills, he is not even at the upper third level. How could he suddenly have the cultivation level of the Zhixuan realm?
Li Shu looked at the stunned Li Wu, a smug smile plastered across his face as he laughed wildly. "Do you know why I knew colluding with the barbarians from the Mongol Yuan Dynasty was a grave offense and would surely lead to my own death if exposed? I also knew that if my cousin knew I had betrayed him, I would also be dead, yet I still took a gamble?"

Li Zhao, Li Wu and others all fell silent.

This is also what they can't figure out.

Although Li Shu was not the eldest son, the Li family had always treated him well. His eldest brother Li Wu was even more kind and righteous, having already established a lot of family property for him.

Logically speaking, he had no reason to retaliate against the Li family and betray Zhu Jinzhen.

But Li Shu did it anyway.

Li Zhao, Li Wu and others were puzzled by this.

"Because I have had an amazing adventure. If you give me time, I will be able to enter the realm of earthly immortals in less than three years. Once I obtain another thing, I am confident that I can surpass Zhu Jinzhen within five years and carve out a great cause."

"Live forever and become an immortal."

When Li Shu was excited, his eyes flashed with madness, and his face showed undisguised ambition, as if he had already foreseen that he would become a terrestrial immortal in the future, or even achieve immortality and carve out a future of great ambitions and hegemony.

Li Zhao, Li Wu and others looked at each other, and their original expectations turned into disappointment.

Li Wu stared at Li Shu as if he were an idiot. "Your so-called fortuitous encounter only allowed you to reach the Profound Finger Realm. How dare you boast of surpassing your cousin? Do you know what kind of person he is?"

"Sixteen years old, the number one immortal on earth."

"Is it possible for you to be comparable with them by relying on external forces?"

"Ridiculous, foolish, stupid, idiotic."

Li Wu shook his head repeatedly, extremely disappointed with his brother who couldn't grasp the reality.

His cousin showed his extraordinary abilities when he was sixteen years old. He single-handedly defeated three land immortals from the Meng and Liao dynasties. There are only a few such achievements in history.

Li Shu also wants to compete with him, or even surpass him?
"Oh, big brother, you are also a person of limited knowledge." Li Shu didn't take it seriously when he heard it. Instead, he sneered: "I won't argue with you on this verbal battle. Dad, do as I ask, otherwise..."

The sharp edge of the dagger pierced the skin, causing the blood that was already seeping out to bleed continuously.

Li Su didn't cry or shout, but tears kept falling down.

As if I couldn't feel the pain.

"Ugh!"

Li Zhao sighed again. He sighed more tonight than in the entire first half of his life. He looked at the stubborn Li Shu and shook his head. "Even if I prepare everything for you, can you escape from Lanzhou?"

He once again discovered the naivety and stupidity of his son, Li Shu. This was Lanzhou Prefecture, the base camp of his nephew, where countless masters were hidden in secret. The bloody night in Lanzhou a few days ago and the rebellion of Zhuanglangwei had not caused any waves.

Could it be that Li Shu thought that his Zhixuan cultivation level could be more powerful than Zhuanglangwei?
"Hmph, as long as I can leave Lanzhou Prefecture, I'll be free to swim even if the sea is wide and the sky is high. Even if Zhu Jinzhen has extraordinary abilities, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack to find me. It will only take a few years, hmph..."

After hearing this, Li Wu couldn't help but look at his father Li Zhao and his mother. He really wanted to ask if Li Shu had hit his head when he was a child, or if he was not his biological son, otherwise how could he be so stupid?

There are three hundred Cang Yun soldiers outside the door.

Even if they intended to let Li Shu go, he would definitely be hacked to pieces the moment he stepped out of the house.

Still leaving Lanzhou Prefecture, where the sky is high and the birds fly freely?
That night, when the secret guards were on duty, even the Grandmaster of Astronomy was shot dead before he could escape from a distance of ten feet. Why did Li Shu do that? Because he was stupid?

Li Zhao closed his eyes and tried to make a final effort: "I'll say this one last time. Let your sister go. I will ask Zhen'er to leave you with an intact body. We will also announce that you died of illness and try not to implicate your children."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Li Shu not only did not put down the dagger, but instead sneered: "If Dad refuses to agree, then I can only forgive my unfilial behavior."

As for children? Li Shu didn't even mention them.

As long as he could survive, Li Shu thought he would have as many children as he wanted.

"Your brother is right, you are indeed stupid." Li Zhao looked at the ruthless Li Shu, who had even targeted him, his wife, and his disabled mother. He was completely disappointed in him.

What do you mean?
Li Shu was not really hopelessly stupid after all, and he heard the hidden meaning in Li Zhao's words.

"boom!"

Li Shu's figure flew out without any warning.

Before Li Shu could be surprised, he stepped on the hand holding the dagger.

Accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, Li Shu covered his arm and wailed miserably.

A graceful figure stood in front of Li Shu. Her expression was no longer filled with despair and sadness, but rather frighteningly cold. She looked down at Li Shu and said, "Brother, you are truly extremely stupid."

"You, you actually know martial arts?" Li Shu even forgot to wail. Looking at Li Su with a frosty face in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

"Have you forgotten that your sister was born with a deficiency and also has a Sanyin meridian deficiency, and was predicted to not live past twenty?" Li Zhao wasn't surprised at all, only disappointed in Li Shu. "With Zhen'er's personality, he always strives for perfection. How could he stop at just curing Su'er?"

"You think you are so amazing for having achieved the Zhixuan realm, but you don't know that your sister, with Zhen'er's help, has only spent two years to enter the Zhixuan realm from scratch, and now she is even on the verge of achieving the goal! With your limited ability, if Su'er hadn't been completely defenseless against you, you wouldn't even be able to get close to her."

Li Shu also showed a mocking look on his face.

His sister was a true martial arts prodigy. As soon as she entered the Zhixuan realm, she defeated several Zhixuan realm masters with ease. When she went on missions with the secret guards, she killed no less than ten Zhixuan masters.

Kidnap her?
Even the Great Joyful Bodhisattva whom Miaojiang met at that time didn't dare to think so.

Li Su spread out his hands and said, "Hand it over."

Li Shu's pupils shrank and his face was full of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

Li Su snorted coldly and said expressionlessly, "This is Lanzhou Prefecture. Nothing can be hidden from my cousin's eyes and ears. As long as the news reaches my cousin's ears, there is nothing he can't find out."

"You have great ambitions, but why do you lack brains?"

"Do you really think you can surpass your cousin by getting that thing?"

Li Su's eyes were full of disdain. If her cousin was so simple, how could the Mongols and the Liao Dynasty be repelled back then? And they would not have dared to fight each other again in these years.

Aren’t you afraid that what happened on the battlefield will happen again?
Unfortunately, even Li Su understood such a simple truth, but Li Shu did not.

This time, he even nearly implicated the entire Li family, causing everyone to be buried with him.

After hearing this, Li Shu was able to confirm his guess.

He laughed bitterly: "I never thought that Su'er, you are also a secret guard?!"

Li Su nodded calmly. She had not hidden this matter from her parents, and even Li Wu knew about it. Only Li Shu didn't care much about her, so he didn't know the inside story.
