The Sweeping King fled tens of feet in embarrassment and turned around a mountain wall. There seemed to be no Zhu Army soldiers here, only a dense forest with lush branches and leaves. He was happy in his heart that he finally escaped. All he had to do was find a cave to hide in, wait for the incident here to be over, and then come out after two days, then he could escape from the mountain.
Just as he was about to get into the dense forest, he suddenly heard a soft whistle, and hundreds of people came out of the forest. The leader was less than thirty years old. He looked very young, but his temperament was calm and his gestures were calm. If the clouds stop and the mountains stand, they have their own momentum.
He was shocked, could this person be
I just heard the man chuckle and say: "Baishui Zhuba, I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
The Sweeping King was really scared out of his wits: "Youhow did you know that I would appear here?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I have laid out the plan, so I can naturally predict how you will go. I deliberately missed a loophole in the thorn forest, just waiting for you to abandon your accomplices and escape. If you escape like this, you will kill your loyal confidants." All my men gave it to me.¡±
After hearing this, the Sweeping King felt a cold sweat break out from his head and flow down his cheeks. He regretted that he should have given up his men. If there were still a few men around him, he would still be able to fight, but He is now alone, and even if he wants to fight, he has no chance of winning.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was seriously looking at the Sweeping King. His shining eyes scanned the Sweeping King from top to bottom. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and his eyes were fixed on the Sweeping King's waist. There is a jade pendant hanging on it.
The Sweeping King felt Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and couldn't help but look down the way he came from, and also saw the jade pendant. It was a top-quality piece of jade, with a warm texture and no trace of color. People knew at a glance that it was not ordinary. If you get to the land of Jiangnan where fireworks are extravagant, this piece of jade can be sold for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. In fact, this piece of jade is more than this price, because it also has a powerful story. Anyone who heard the origin of this jade would price it at least one million taels of silver.
The Sweeping King quickly took off the jade from his waist, stretched out his hands forward, and said to please: "Brother Zhu Ba, please let me live. Brother, I have no repayment, so I will present this beautiful jade"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak. His mind had been aroused by this piece of jade, and he drifted to the previous life.
Ma Xiaotian, who was beside him, saw that Brother Zhu Ba seemed to be a little distracted, fearing that the King of Sweepers would suddenly launch a conspiracy. Then he took a step forward, stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and shouted: "What do we need this piece of jade from you for? It would be too ridiculous to use it to buy your life."
When the Sweeping King saw Ma Xiaotian coming out to speak, he knew that he was an extremely important leader in the Zhu army. So he laughed and said: "This elder brother doesn't know something. This jade was the favorite of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He buried this jade with the tomb of Emperor Renzu Zhu Wusi. Brother, I captured Feng Yang, ransacked the royal ancestral tomb. This is the best thing obtained from the tomb. Hey, it¡¯s not a brother¡¯s boast. If this jade is sold to someone who knows the goods, it can sell for at least a million taels, just because it is Zhu Wusi. Among the burial objects, even a broken earthen jar is worth a lot of money."
After hearing what he said, the leaders of the Zhu army took a breath and were shocked by the origin of this jade. After all, the leaders of the Zhu army were all from lowly backgrounds, so they would inevitably be a little angry when they heard the origin of this jade.
Ma Xiaotian took half a step back. He said stubbornly: "How do I know if it is true?"
Among the people standing in the scene, only Zhu Yuanzhang knew it best. That piece of jade was indeed real. It was the beautiful jade that he personally placed next to his father's bones when he moved his father Zhu Wusi to Fengyang Mausoleum for burial in his previous life.
Zhu Wusi was a very poor poor farmer with a miserable life. In the fourth year of Zhizheng in the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1344), severe drought and locust plague occurred in Huaibei, and diseases were prevalent. Zhu Wusi failed to escape this disaster and died miserably of starvation. , he did not leave many memories to Zhu Yuanzhang, but the remaining memories were somewhat loving. Many years after his death, his son Zhengqi finally became a great treasure, posthumously named him Emperor Injo, and was buried with great splendor. , this poor farmer thought he could live a stable life underground, but he didn't expect that more than two hundred years later, he would be dug up and invaded again
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes slowly turned red, and a bloodthirsty smell oozed from his body. The sweeping king standing opposite him felt a huge murderous aura coming toward him, and his body trembled and he almost fell down. On the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to control his emotions, waved his hand, and said calmly: "Take him down! He must live."
A look of despair flashed in the Sweeping King's eyes, and he threw the jade in his hand to the ground. With a snap, the precious jade shattered on the rock. He reached out to pull out the simple knife from his waist. At this time, Ma Xiaotian had already rushed up and swung the knife towards the sweeper king's chest.?
The Sweeping King pulled out his knife and struck it horizontally. There was a soft "dang" sound, and Ma Xiaotian was shocked back half a step. Unexpectedly, the Sweeping King was also quite capable.
Ma Xiaotian raised the knife with all his strength, held two saber flowers, and rushed towards the Sweeping King. The red lady next to him said: "Ma Xiaotian, can you do it? I'll help you too!"
The red lady drew her sword and was about to jump out to help, when she suddenly felt someone next to her grab her sleeve and pull her back. She stumbled two steps away and was about to protest when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang walking forward slowly and saying: "I will go in person."
Lady Hong was stunned immediately: "Brother Zhu Ba wants to take action personally? Wow what is going on? I have never seen him take action."
In fact, not only her, but also many newly joined soldiers and small leaders were dumbfounded: "Isn't it? Brother Zhu Ba wants to take action himself?"
"What's happening here?"
"Is Brother Zhu Ba good at fighting?"
It's no wonder that only the oldest group of soldiers and leaders in the Zhu army had seen Zhu Yuanzhang take action in person. Those who joined later had only seen him commanding the army, but were not lucky enough to see him take action. Many recruits only thought that Zhu Bage was a Confucian generals, like Xu Renjie, have little skill.
Wang Er and several veterans, on the other hand, raised their hands and said, "You haven't seen Brother Zhu take action, it's because you are unlucky. We old brothers have seen it."
At this time, Ma Xiaotian was fighting with the Sweeper King. Two simple knives were flying. The soldiers next to him wanted to step forward to help Ma Xiaotian, but they were stopped by Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. Zhu Yuanzhang stepped closer to the battle circle between Ma Xiaotian and the Sweeper King. Next to him, he suddenly pulled out the knife hanging from his waist, stretched it out to the middle, and separated the two people.
It's true that he hasn't made a move for a long time, but he has never stopped practicing over the years. Occasionally, he would practice a few moves with Wang Er. His martial arts skills were not sparse. When Ma Xiaotian was blocked by him, he drew his sword and retreated, but Wang Er was sweeping the floor. With a ferocious laugh, he slashed at Zhu Yuanzhang with his sword.
??What scenes have you not seen in your life as a soldier? This kind of cold knife could not hurt him at all. Zhu Yuanzhang made a wrong step to the side. This step was so small that it could be said that there was no obvious dodge at all. The sweeper's sword almost touched his shoulder. It was empty. Everyone was shocked by Zhu Yuanzhang's boldness. Dodging the knife like this was almost like risking his life.
What they don¡¯t know is that Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed risking his life. His martial arts may not be higher than that of the Sweeping King, but he still has to avenge himself for burning his father Zhu Wusi¡¯s mausoleum. If you want to defeat an opponent who is no weaker than yourself as soon as possible, you must be surprised, attack him unprepared, and have the aura to fight to the death.
The Sweeper King swung his sword in the air and was really shocked. Especially when the other party used such a dangerous way to dodge, it shocked him even more. He couldn't help but think to himself: Could this be the boldness of a skilled person? ? Zhu Ba's martial arts skills are so high that he doesn't look down on me at all, so he uses this method to avoid my sword?
When he thought of this, his mind was in a state of confusion. Zhu Yuanzhang twisted the knife in his hand and wrenched the sweeping king's hand away.
The sweeping king was shocked, what should he do without the knife?
But Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, threw aside the knife in his hand, and said coldly: "I said I want to capture you alive, but it's better not to play with the knife. If I accidentally kill you by mistake, wouldn't it be an advantage for you?" I'll save myself three thousand knives."
The sweeping king was furious and horrified at the same time. He quickly raised his fist and punched him, but his confidence had been greatly dampened by Zhu Yuanzhang's two consecutive blows. This punch was also soft and lost its strength.
I saw Zhu Yuanzhang shortening his body, nimbly dodging his fist, and then moving downwards and upwards, punching the Sweeping King on the chin, causing his whole body to bounce upward, before he could adjust back to his posture. He felt Zhu Yuanzhang's fist fall on his stomach again. The punch was so hard that he bowed forward and rolled up like a shrimp. Then Zhu Yuanzhang's fists kept coming down, specifically hitting those positions that couldn't be killed but were painful.
One punch, another punch, another punch
The sweeping king was beaten until his nose was bleeding, and his mouth was full of blood. All the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart. His body, which had long lost the power to resist, was like a big sandbag, and could only tremble and swing under Zhu Yuanzhang's fist. .
The soldiers of the Zhu Army had never seen Zhu Yuanzhang beating an enemy in such a brutal way, and they were all stunned. The Red Lady, who had been talking to Zhu Yuanzhang of all ages, could not help but be deeply moved when she saw his momentum. Feeling afraid, people, the older they get, the less courageous they become. Only when you learn more things can you understand fear and fear. The same is true for Red Lady. She couldn't help but look at Zhu Yuanzhang with a little more awe.
After Zhu Yuanzhang beat him for a long time, the churning blood in his chest slowly calmed down, and heHe closed his fist and hummed: "Betray the rebels, take refuge with the government, and then turn around to attack your own people. This is what you will end up with"
The soldiers had no doubt that he was there, but they didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang just found an excuse to beat someone.
"I just heard Zhu Yuanzhang say again: "In order to give other surrender elements a warning, take this guy back and execute him in Lingchi, cut him with three thousand knives"
The left and right people did not dare to have any objections and said in unison: "Yes!"
