Suddenly, the two of them burst into laughter at the same time, and the tense atmosphere immediately disappeared. Hu Xiaotian clasped his fists and said: "Master Zhu, I am here sincerely and have no intention of going against the imperial court. Please tell me clearly." Zhu Tao and Feng Xiaoyu said: "Under the Putian, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, is it the land of the king? Your Majesty. In today¡¯s world of saints, Ming, and fraternity, how can we not be generous with others? As long as the Jiuyi people are willing to surrender and become subjects, the Ming Dynasty will not refuse anyone who comes.¡± Hu Xiaotian secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said: ¡°To be honest, there are still divisions within the divine religion. The two factions, the Main War Faction and the Main Peace Faction, refuse to give in to each other. In order to avoid any complications, I hope Master Zhu can keep the secret temporarily so that I have enough time to fully control the divine religion." Zhu Tao muttered: "I'll give you five years. How?" Hu Xiaotian said: "Five years is enough!"
Zhu Tao walked back and forth for a few steps with his hands behind his back, and then said: "Master Hu is a handsome young man. He has courage and skill, but he lacks convincing achievements. If you want to impress the emperor with just a few words, it is far from enough. And the emperor has many things to do, so he may not take this into account. Keep the records in your heart. Therefore, you should first prove your sincerity and ability, so that I can add fuel to the flames and wave the flag."
Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. How can I have the opportunity to express my sincerity to the emperor?"
Zhu Tao smiled slightly and said, "You only need to give me two things."
Hu Xiaotian¡¯s secret payment couldn¡¯t be Xuanzong¡¯s head or the demon sect¡¯s magical power, right? He was secretly awestruck in his heart and asked: "Please tell me, sir, what kind of rare treasure is it?"
Zhu Tao raised two fingers and said solemnly: "First, always hand over the firearms of the Lei family and not give them to others. Second, try to take back the Song and Yuan jade seals intact from the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. This is If these two things can be accomplished, His Majesty Longyan will be delighted and everything will be easy to discuss."
Hu Xiaotian said: "The first thing is not difficult. I have never thought about making firearms privately, so I just hand it over. As for what happened to the jade seal of Song and Yuan Dynasty? I would like to hear the details."
It turns out that when Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to the Northern Expedition with the intention of regaining the Central Plains, the Mongolian emperor saw that his troops and horses were defeated repeatedly in battles. He could not help but feel fear and secretly sent his confidants back to the grassland with the jade seal passed down from the country and handed it over to the tribe for safekeeping. This jade seal has been handed down since Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty. It not only symbolizes the orthodoxy of Zhongzhou, but also symbolizes the imperial power granted by heaven. It has the supreme status in a country's politics. If an emperor cannot control the jade seal, his throne will be unstable and his country will not be prosperous. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the unobtainable imperial seal became his biggest hidden pain, so he repeatedly sent troops deep into the grasslands and deserts to hunt down the Mongolian royal family. At that time, Cao Guogong Li Wenzhong once led his army into the heart of the grassland, broke through the sweat accounts, and bravely captured the jade seal and returned it to the south. He was greatly praised by Zhu Yuanzhang. Unexpectedly, after expert appraisal, the jade seal was actually a fake! Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and rebuked Li Wenzhong for deceiving the emperor. From then on, he took away his military power and left him idle until his death in depression. Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is old, his desire to return the imperial seal has become even stronger. Whoever can fulfill his long-cherished wish will definitely receive extremely generous rewards.
After hearing this, Hu Xiaotian was secretly shocked. The national jade seal involves the fate of the country and the change of imperial power. It is of such great significance. How could the Mongols give up so easily? Beiyuan's desire to revive has not died, and he still dreams of one day restoring the glory of his ancestors. When he sets foot in the Central Plains again, he will definitely send experts to guard him. He frowned and said: "In the past, Cao Guogong was an unparalleled hero. He led thousands of troops into battle and failed to charge. How can I dare to talk about success?"
Zhu Tao said: "The jade seal is light and easy to move and hide. What's more, the grassland is vast and boundless. Even if a large army is dispatched, it is difficult to intercept it. Only by sending strange troops to surprise thousands of miles and surprise them unprepared can there be any hope of success. You may say yes or no. ?" The Mongols are not fools. If the Ming army attacks with great fanfare, they will have enough time to escape with their treasures.
Hu Xiaotian had to admit that Zhu Tao's words were reasonable. He had the magic of disguise, and it was easy to sneak into the Mongols. Once the whereabouts of the jade seal are discovered, and the masters of the Demon Cult are contacted to launch a surprise attack, the success or failure should be 50-50. At that moment, he said with emotion: "Okay, I will try my best to get the jade seal back! If I am lucky enough to succeed, I just ask you to fulfill today's promise."
Zhu Tao perked up and laughed: "As long as you get the jade seal, you can choose from all the states and counties in the world!"
"A word from a gentleman!"
¡°It¡¯s hard to chase a horse!¡±
The two slapped each other three times in a row, which was regarded as an agreement. Zhu Tao gave some gentle words of encouragement and explained some details on identifying the authenticity of the jade seal, and then served tea to see the guests off. When Hu Xiaotian's figure disappeared, the smile on Zhu Tao's lips quickly faded and he said in a deep voice: "Come out!"
"Yes." Just hearing the sound of footsteps, a person walked out quickly from behind the corner door, bowed down on the ground, and said respectfully: "Kowtow to the commander, Sir Tongzhi!"
Zhu Tao lowered his eyes slightly, a trace of disgust, a trace of pride, and a bit of obscure coldness flashed across his face, and he said lightly: "Did you hear clearly what Hu Xiaotian said just now?"
The man's shoulders trembled slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Young man heard it clearly! As long as the adults are willing to support me, I can do my best."??Always be driven by adults! "
Zhu Tao said: "It is said that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light today, you will surely have a great success in the future. When the time is right, I will recommend it to the Holy One and reward you with a title. What to do next, you have to think about it. Be aware. Get up, stop kneeling!"
"Thank you for the gift, sir." The man raised his head, with a humble look on his face, and there was a vicious flame buried deep in his eyes. He was clearly Cheng Ying!
Leaving the alley and getting on the carriage again, Hu Xiaotian finally relaxed, but felt his vest was cold. Zhu Tao's words are full of wit and his intentions are unpredictable, but he is an extremely difficult opponent to deal with. Even though he tried hard to figure it out, he couldn't figure out Zhu Tao's true thoughts, and he always felt that something was missing. The only thing that can be certain is that whether it is Mongolia or the Ming Dynasty, the jade seal passed down is extremely important!
Mongolia is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. It has a cold climate and a vast territory. The various tribes are mixed and indistinguishable, and they live in pursuit of water and grass. Although Meng Yuan lost to the Ming Dynasty and gave up the colorful world of the Central Plains, his strength is still the highest among all the tribes outside the Great Wall, with hundreds of thousands of people who can control strings. There are countless masters from all races who serve for him. Moreover, there are many martial arts schools outside the Great Wall, which are very different from those in the middle-earth martial arts. It is difficult to know the details of the opponent's killing moves in advance. If you want to break through the siege and seize the jade seal, you have to pass five levels and kill six generals, and pay a heavy price.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a murderous aura falling from the sky, making my hair stand on end. Just hearing the soft sound of the crossbow, dozens of crossbow arrows suddenly shot through the air, sealing the space in front, back, left and right. Hu Xiaotian's expression changed with astonishment. At this moment when the whole city was on alert, who dared to take the risk and launch a sniper attack on the street? You must know that crossbows are classified as first-class contraband by the imperial court, and those who keep them privately will be punished as treason, not to mention that they are used in important places in the capital! The main messenger is either crazy, or he doesn't know the power of it at all. In addition, his visit to Zhu Tao was classified as top secret. How could the assassin know the inside story? Who leaked the news? Could it be that Zhu Tao secretly gave instructions? Hearing the cold wind approaching, he smashed the floor of the carriage with his palm and swished into the hole.
The next moment, the crossbow arrows were shot down. The coachman and the horses screamed and neighed at the same time. The car body trembled and rolled over, and the axle rubbed violently against the bluestone ground, making a harsh scream. In the blink of an eye, three rounds of crossbow arrows were fired, pricking the entire carriage like a hedgehog, and black blood flowed rapidly.
"Come on!" With a deliberately changed voice, the four strong men suddenly pounced down, and the hammers and copper bars in their hands were fiercely smashed towards the carriage. They were so powerful that even if the opponent turned into a corpse, they would hit them on the spot. Don't stop until it becomes meat sauce. The moment the weapons were deployed, the carriage suddenly exploded, and countless wood fragments and broken arrow shafts flew away, shooting in all directions. The four strong men were so aware that they instinctively closed their eyes while using their body-protecting skills.
At this moment, a black shadow shot up from the ground, twisted its body, and squeezed out of the gaps between the weapons. Without waiting for the opponent to react, it jumped onto the roof ridge on one side.
"Stop!" Before the shouting stopped, a brilliant sword energy struck in front of his face, fierce and decisive. At the same time, seven or eight other vicious hidden weapons flew towards the tile surface. Hu Xiaotian made a mistake with his foot and kicked up tiles to block the enemy's attack. I saw broken tiles flying, cold light flickering, and masked men constantly joining the battle group, surrounding him like a revolving door and killing them desperately.
Hu Xiaotian was shocked and angry. Each of these assassins had extraordinary skills. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he couldn't resist him. What's more, he didn't carry a sword with him on this trip. How could he break the killing situation with his bare hands? Although the other party tried their best to cover it up, he could still conclude through clues that the assassins were proficient in demonic techniques! In other words, it was his fellow members of the Demon Sect who wanted to kill him, a disciple of Xuanzong! Is it the main fighting faction within the demon sect who launched the murderous plan, or is it Dugu Yuyang who secretly carries out the murder?
With a loud bang, Hu Xiaotian stepped through the ridge of the roof and fell straight into the room. His energy was everywhere. He used all the objects within reach as hidden weapons and swarmed at the enemies around him. When life and death were at stake, he no longer cared about innocence. He hit the wall like a mad bull, stirring up dust in the sky to cover his body. However, mud and rocks were flying, broken trees were flying, figures were rolling, and cold blades were intersecting, making the originally deserted streets full of smoke. At this moment, it was impossible for reinforcements to appear to relieve the siege. The only way to force the assassins to retreat was to rely on the intervention of night-watch soldiers or royal guards.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Hu Xiaotian broke through the last earth wall, and there was an empty vegetable field in front of him. Not even a small tree could be seen within a few dozen feet. He couldn't help but secretly groan in pain. He used his right hand to wrap and untie it, skillfully deflecting the copper rod swept from the side. He then braced the deadly mad knife and blasted out with his left fist, knocking the assassin in front of him flying several times. Husband. Just as he was about to change his body, his ankle suddenly tightened and was silently entangled by a black soft rope. His body was sluggish, and there was a slight chill under his side, and there was another inch-long wound.
Hu Xiaotian was angry and aggrieved at the same time. Was he going to die before leaving the army? He leaned over and grabbed the soft rope and pulled it, and the assassin flew over involuntarily.He grabbed his vest with one hand and his calf with the other, and used it as a human-shaped weapon to block left and right. The assassins didn't care about the life or death of their companions. They stabbed and chopped the unlucky guy to pieces in a blink of an eye. Hu Xiaotian pumped his arms and suddenly threw the corpse with a roar. When the enemy was dodging, he clasped his claws quickly and grabbed another person in his hands. When the assassins saw him repeating his old tricks, they all frowned, looked at each other and jumped back, still tightly surrounding him on three levels inside and three outside. In the darkness, someone didn't know who shouted: "Bring in the crossbow arrows quickly!"
Hu Xiaotian secretly felt chilled. He looked around at the dozens of masked assassins and said angrily: "You are all disciples of the God's Cult. Why do you want to join forces to kill me? If the Cult Leader finds out, you will die without a burial place!"
Hearing the word "leader", all the assassins took a breath, and there were different changes in everyone's eyes. Regardless of whether they admit it or not, Hu Xiaotian and Xuanzong are the real masters and disciples, and they are one of the candidates with the right to succeed the leader. What they did is tantamount to committing the following crime and touching Xuanzong's rebellion. Suddenly someone said coldly: "As long as the corpses are destroyed and traces are destroyed, and the words are strictly kept, how can the leader find out the truth? If you don't kill him, you will be in trouble!" The assassins thought that it was true. Could it be that they stopped midway? Will there be good fruit to eat? It would be better to kill someone and silence them to eliminate future troubles forever!
The murderous aura is condensed, as cold as frost
At this moment, a wisp of gentle breeze blew by, as if spring had arrived, completely melting the chill in the field. Everyone seemed to feel something, and turned to look around in unison. I saw a white shadow flashing, and a middle-aged scribe with simple and neat clothes, elegant and handsome appearance descended from the sky. His face was like a crown jewel, his eyebrows were as long as his temples, his dark eyes were bottomless, and there was a faint smile hanging on the corner of his lips. Even though he was facing a large group of murderous demons, he still had a gentle demeanor. Like looking at a group of naughty and rebellious students, the calm appearance hides extremely powerful self-confidence. When he glanced lightly, every assassin was shocked and unconsciously felt small and weak.
With just one glance, the souls of all the demons are snatched away by it.
Hu Xiaotian was so blessed that he threw away the assassin in his hand, bowed deeply and said, "Junior Hu Xiaotian is a disciple of the Master of Xuan Sect. He has met the great master!"
Great, sect, master! These three words were like thunder and thunderbolts, hitting the assassins' heads fiercely, making their eardrums ring and they looked at each other in shock. Besides Jun Wangyou, who else is the only one in the martial arts world who enjoys the title of "Grand Master"? That was a peak powerhouse on par with Xuanzong! Everyone was like a naughty boy who had made a mistake, hurriedly putting away their weapons, not knowing how to speak.
"No gift!" Jun Wangyou waved his hand gently and said loudly: "The master of Xuanzong has accepted a good disciple. Even I am a little envious of him." The voice paused and then said: "Originally, there was no internal fighting in your sect. It's my responsibility to take care of it, but the capital is no more important than others. How can I allow you to wantonly intrude on the people and do whatever you want? If the imperial city is alerted, soldiers and horses are dispatched, and the other tribes come to inquire, then there will be endless disasters. What happened tonight I don¡¯t want to pursue it, you just compensate the residents for their losses and then disperse on your own!¡±
"Yes!" The assassins were like eggplants beaten by frost, they stopped and dispersed.
Hu Xiaotian said respectfully: "Grand master, junior"
Jun Wangyou interrupted him and said: "Xiaotian, your master and I are on equal terms and respect each other, so please call me 'uncle' and don't mention any false names like master."
Hu Xiaotian never expected that Jun Wangyou would be so approachable. He was excited and proud at the same time, so he followed his words and said, "Uncle Jun, my nephew has reached such a high level."
Jun Wangyou smiled and said, "What are you talking about! Do you want your master to look down on me? It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. Come with me." After saying that, he flew through the sky and arrived at the shore of Mochou Lake in a moment.
It¡¯s late at night, the moon is bright, the stars are sparse, the lake is rippling, and the water vapor is cool.
Jun Wangyou put his hands behind his hands and looked at the deep lake, and said calmly: "You secretly entered the capital, I'm afraid it wasn't just for a date with Haoming, right?"
Hu Xiaotian's mind turned quickly, and he decided not to express any concern about Tang Xue. Instead, he told Xuanzong that he was entrusted by Xuanzong to urge the Jiuyi people to surrender to the imperial court. He even revealed the details of the negotiation with Zhu Tao this time. Presumably with Jun Wangyou's mind and status, he would never spread it around.
Jun Wangyou sighed: "Brother Xuan is compassionate, has kind thoughts, and has the courage to break the differences between Han and foreigners. How can his thoughts and actions be tainted with the word 'devil'? Even I feel ashamed of myself." Ah. Xiaotian, the journey is long, difficult and dangerous, and your responsibility is as heavy as Mount Tai!"
Hu Xiaotian said solemnly: "I have long planned to work hard and dedicate myself to it. But I am not familiar with Mr. Zhu Tao and Zhu. I dare to ask Uncle Jun, how credible is his promise?"
Jun Wangyou shook his head and smiled: "You are such a naughty little kid, even I want to take advantage of you (read the full text of Endless Arms)!"
Hu Xiaotian said shamelessly: "You think of yourself as an 'uncle', so you should give it to me."Can my nephew give me some advice? Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for you if your nephew defrauded others of the money you sold him, wouldn't you? "
Jun Wangyou pondered for a while and then said slowly: "Zhu Tao was born in the military. He has been in power in recent years. He has great ambitions and deep calculations. He has always been regarded as insignificant by people in the world. However, he proposed an exchange for the national jade seal. The conditions are not just random talk, there is indeed a high possibility. Of course, if the emperor is willing to nod and express his position, then there is no need to worry." He stopped talking. After all, the matter involves the change of imperial power, and there are many secrets that cannot be revealed.
Hu Xiaotian couldn¡¯t help but ask: ¡°Since the jade seal is so important, why don¡¯t you take action?¡±
Jun Wangyou said in a deep voice: "Compared to the jade seal, the safety of the emperor today is more important. If I hadn't been in charge of the capital, wouldn't the demons and ghosts from all sides have caused trouble? Xiaotian, you have never experienced military dangers and wars, so you have no idea. How terrible those dead soldiers were! To this day, those who attempt to regicide and rebel are still running in secret, advancing one after another, and they will never be able to kill them all."
Hu Xiaotian suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Jun Wangyou was as invisible as a dragon and rarely appeared in the world. It turned out that he had assumed the heavy responsibility of guarding Zhu Yuanzhang and lived silently in the shadows - this man who wanted to be lonely was actually the guardian of the Ming Empire. God! After thinking about this, he couldn't help but scratch his head and said: "If you can't leave the capital, wouldn't my master's wish to have a decisive battle with you come to nothing?"
A strange light surged in Jun Wangyou's eyes, and a strong will to fight instantly burned, and he said word by word: "Life is short, and it is too cold at high places! When you die today and return to the west, I will personally go to the Snowy Mountains to kill your master. My wish!¡± (To be continued.
