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

Chapter 138 The last straw, helpless biological child

The Black Armor Secret Guards are no secret to the people of Shaanxi, or even to the world.

Many people know that Zhu Jinzhen has such a mysterious army under his command, but few people know the identity of the secret guards, otherwise Li Shu would not be so shocked.

Li Su's identity as a secret guard also revealed a message.

The secret that Li Shu thought he had hidden perfectly must have been exposed in the eyes of his cousin, Prince Su, and even...

Li Shu was startled and quickly looked up. Sure enough, his sister Li Su nodded calmly at him: "It seems that you are not so stupid that you are hopeless."

Sure enough, the appearance of a secret guard means that there must be other secret guards around.

As for who it was, Li Shu turned his gaze to his elder brother Li Wu.

Li Wu shook his head: "Don't look at me. My ambition is to be in the army. I yearn to ride on a horse to kill the enemy and be rewarded with a title, not to walk in the darkness and protect the people of dawn as a mysterious armored secret guard."

It's not Li Wu, could it be...

Li Shu's pupils shrank and he looked at Li Zhao in disbelief.

"It's getting late."

Ignoring Li Shu's shocked expression, Li Zhao turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window, knowing that he should send this rebellious son away. Otherwise, if he delayed any longer until dawn, he would have to break his promise to Zhu Jinzhen.

As for the consequences, Li Zhao didn't dare to think about it.

"Wait, wait..." Li Shu was shocked, covering his broken arm and waving his hands repeatedly: "Dad, big brother, little sister, Su'er, please spare my life, and I will give you the thing I got."

"Water Dragon Ball?"

A cold voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

The door of the hall suddenly opened with a bang, and a group of Cang Yun soldiers walked in. The four in the front were holding green gauze lanterns, and the four behind were standing on the left and right, surrounding a woman in black armor, who walked towards them step by step with a smile.

"Greetings, Commander Yan."

Seeing this, Li Su hurriedly bowed.

She herself was a member of the secret guard, and although she had Zhu Jinzhen's support, she did not dare to become arrogant because of his favor.

Li Zhao and Li Wu also bowed and saluted: "Li Zhao, Li Wu, we pay our respects to Commander Yan."

"No need." Yan Yimei glanced at Li Zhao and smiled. He walked past a few people and came in front of Li Shu. He stretched out his right hand, and a female general of Cang Yun wearing a bronze mask next to him handed a box to her hand.

At the same time, a Cang Yun soldier quickly pulled over a chair.

Yan Yimei sat not far from Li Shu, holding the wooden box, and sneered, "The Water Dragon Pearl reappeared in Shaanxi and was obtained by you. It is indeed unexpected. But with just such a thing, you dare to think of surpassing His Highness?"

"Li Shu, how should I describe your stupidity?"

Seeing that even the Water Dragon Ball, which only he knew about, fell into Yan Yimei's hands, Li Shu's eyes flashed with deep despair, but he still said stubbornly: "Humph, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

"If I am given time to obtain the other Fire Dragon Ball and combine the power of the Water and Fire Dragon Balls, I will be able to sweep away all the immortals on land. Even Zhu Jinzhen, I can defeat him easily."

Yan Yimei burst out laughing. Although her eyes were as cold as ice, she was still amused.

Li Shu knew he was doomed and didn't want to be humble anymore. He looked at Yan Yimei, who was full of disdain, as if he had received a great stimulation, and jumped up and said, "What are you laughing at? Is what I said wrong?"

"Back then, the great hero Wentian possessed the Water, Fire, and Dragon Balls. His cultivation as a terrestrial immortal was said to be unprecedented, but when he faced Emperor Taizong Zhu Di, he was hunted down and had no way to escape. Otherwise, why do you think the Water, Fire, and Dragon Balls ended up scattered among the people?" "Don't look so arrogant and indifferent. Since you're about to die, I'll tell you one more thing. Back then, the great hero Wentian once fought against Phagpa."

"Guess what the result is?" Yan Yimei's expression was full of amusement.

Did Wentian, the previous owner of the Water and Fire Dragon Ball, fight with Bashiba?
Not only Li Shu, but the rest of the Li family also showed expressions of shock and surprise.

Although Li Shu was ambitious, he was not an idiot after all. He could certainly understand what Yan Yimei meant. The previous owner of the Water and Fire Dragon Ball, Wentian, had disappeared for more than a hundred years, and the great Mongol master, Ba Siba, had fought with Zhu Jinzhen outside Jiayuguan a few years ago.

You can imagine what the result will be.

Even with Li Shu's most optimistic guess, it was Ba Siba who lost.

It also means one thing.

Back then, Wentian must have paid an extremely painful price to achieve a small victory, but his cousin Zhu Jinzhen defeated the joint efforts of the three land immortals of Meng and Liao at the age of sixteen.

In other words, his ambitious idea of ​​collecting the water and fire dragon balls and then dominating the martial arts world, or even the world, and surpassing Zhu Jinzhen, is nothing but the fantasy of a jumping clown.

"Now, can you tell me the whereabouts of that Fire Dragon Ball?"

"Oh, so, you still need me?" A trace of astonishment flashed across Li Shu's desperate eyes, and then ecstasy. He even felt for a moment that he held the whereabouts of the Fire Dragon Ball. Even if he could not ask his cousin to reveal the matter, he might be able to use this transaction to exchange for a way to survive.

"choke!"

A cold and sharp knife flashed by, so fast that even Li Su, who was closest to Li Shu, had no time to react. Li Shu fell heavily to the ground, holding his throat.

"Why...why..." Li Shu covered his neck where blood was gushing out, and his pupils gradually lost focus.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhao, Li Wu, Li Su and others all showed expressions of pity.

Yan Yimei turned around and left with her men.

No explanation, no looking back.

"Oh!" Grandmother Li sighed and sat down dejectedly in her chair.

Although Li Shu was laughably stupid, he was her grandson after all. Not only did she have to bury her son, but she also had to watch him die in front of her. That kind of blow is not something that most people can bear.

In other words, she had also experienced countless ups and downs in life, which was why she did not faint like her daughter-in-law.

"Su'er, help your mother down to rest first, so as not to alarm her."

"Yes."

Hearing his grandmother's words, Li Su decisively supported the unconscious Mrs. Li and left quickly.

After making sure Li Su had left, the grandmother of the Li family looked at Li Zhao, Li Wu, and the youngest, Li Zhou, and asked meaningfully, "Did you see clearly?"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.

I didn't even understand what Grandmother Li was asking.

Li's grandmother was not angry. She took a few deep breaths and comforted herself silently. She said that her son Li Zhao was the one she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. Her grandsons were also her biological children. One was a reckless man who was obsessed with martial arts, and the other was still young.

Even if he is stupid, he takes after his father. Even if he looks stupid, he is still our father, our father.
