Daming: From the Son of Heaven to the Leader of Comprehensive Martial Arts

"Yes, the ministers (slaves) obey the order!"

The time passed quickly and Hai Rui almost didn't sleep all night, sitting with Qin Huan to hand over the work, and the next day, he stayed at the door of the Li courtyard early the next day.

Zhu Qizhen got on the carriage again after a few days, and started on the road, "Wei Zhongxian, next time I stop, I will leave, and someone will take over from me here, so don't show your horse******** Wake up, don't worry, my lord." Wei Zhongxian said in a low voice, "Where is Guard Zhu?"

Originally, according to Zhu Qizhen's plan for this road, he just walked, and walked quickly. He almost saw Zhu Qi when he got off the car to rest for the night, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen. Now he has too much contact with Zhu Qi. If He is gone, Zhu Qi is the easiest person to see the flaws

"If you really can't hide it from him, just tell him."

Chapter 153 My name is Xu Xiake

Just when Zhu Qizhen was walking towards the exit quickly but thought that there was no other danger, there was a louder rustling sound. Zhu Qizhen moved his ears and determined a position, but he didn't see anything. bugs.But Zhu Qizhen didn't dare to take it lightly, he stood still and looked around.

The rustling was getting closer and louder.Zhu Qizhen seems to have seen something, but also seems to have seen nothing, he can't be sure of the direction, his sixth sense tells him that he is a little dangerous now.

"Sigh." Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt a tingling pain in his calf, that's right, it wasn't the itch just now, it was a tingling pain.

His Emperor's Dragon Robe is no longer working, it wasn't bitten by those bugs, Zhu Qizhen is very sure!

Suddenly Zhu Qizhen seemed to see a few snakes with black patterns and green stripes.Mixed among these bugs and weeds can't be seen at all.Zhu Qizhen felt that his calf was getting more and more painful. He knew that the snake was poisonous, so it can be said that there is nothing in this valley that is not poisonous.

His Emperor's Dragon Robe helped him take part of the poison, but the first level, the effect can be said to be insignificant, but it is better than nothing, at least part of the poison is covered, and he can last longer .

Just when Zhu Qizhen was looking carefully and killing those snakes, he rolled his eyes and saw the mark made by Cao Zhengchun at the exit. He seemed to see the place where the mark was made. Character?

"Flowers?" Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of something and looked around.

He looked for a snake carefully, and found that as long as there were flowers, the snake would not occupy or leave at all, and it could be said to stay far away from those flowers.Zhu Qizhen immediately made a leap of martial arts, and when he reached the side with flowers, only those insects followed, and those snakes stayed on the edge of the flowers, they didn't dare to come in, but they didn't leave either, as if they were unwilling to give up at this point.

Zhu Qizhen knew how he should go, he tied the flowers around his own legs, and sure enough when he walked out again, there were only insects, and those snakes followed him around, step by step.

This time Zhu Qizhen really walked out like a stroll in the courtyard.When he walked out, there seemed to be a restriction at the exit, obviously there were no flowers, but those snakes and insects did not dare to cross the boundary.

Zhu Qizhen continued to move forward. According to the marks left by Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Qizhen went very smoothly, but only very smoothly. There were a lot of dangers on the way. Kunlun Mountain is still the legendary Kunlun Mountain—mysterious and dangerous .

There is another jungle ahead, but the end can be seen. From this side, you can only see an open space.Zhu Qizhen walked in according to the sign.There is nothing particularly dangerous in the jungle, except that there are more insects and ants.

Wait until Zhu Qi passes through the jungle.Then he found that there was a swamp in front of him, and there were no corpses nearby. Zhu Qizhen guessed that they all sank into the swamp.

"Who!" Zhu Qizhen turned around, and there was someone behind an old tree.

"Young man, don't be afraid." A man came out from behind the ancient tree. The man was wearing a brocade white robe, which was slightly torn now. He must have finally come here. "I just can't get through this swamp, and no one wants to Help me. I just hid here."

Before Zhu Qizhen let go of his vigilance, most of the people left, and it was impossible for the remaining one to be here, but the impossible happened.

"Who are you and what's your name?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

The man bent down, "My name is Xu Xiake. I'm just a person who likes adventure travel. I heard that the Kunlun Mountains are steep and steep. Many people died. I also heard that everyone in the martial arts wanted to explore Kunlun, so they followed, passed the front, and the back I can't get through this swamp."

Xu Xiake?The famous geographer, explorer and travel writer?Is it Xu Xiake who wrote "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes" and is known as "the strange man through the ages"?

"You are Xu Xiake?" Zhu Qizhen put away his sword and asked.

Xu Xiake came out and confronted Zhu Qizhen, "Master, have you heard of me?"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and didn't say much, looking at the swamp in front of him, if he expected correctly, this place should be the place where Kunlun Mountain is covered with frozen soil.The place covered with permafrost is several meters thick, and it is a very large solid reservoir. When the temperature rises in summer, it becomes a swamp, and the swamp will immediately submerge the corpses.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Xu Xiake and asked, "You have been here all this time, but how did you see how those people got there?"

Speaking of this, Xu Xiake's eyes flashed a hint of unbearable, "Those people have been stuck here for two days, and everyone who tried to pass all fell into the swamp without a foothold, and what was even more terrifying was the people who fell into the swamp." If they don’t move or struggle, they will sink in an instant, as if something is pulling them down, unlike ordinary swamps where they can live longer without moving.”

Xu Xiake sighed, "Those people seem to have no way to pass, they will not be one of them, those who they don't like, those with weak martial arts are thrown into the swamp one by one, just take advantage of the few seconds before they sink in, Treat those people as footholds and pass by."

"Then why are you okay?" It stands to reason that if those people are really like what Xu Xiake said, then they can't let Xu Xiake's floor mat go.

"This is because when I was in Death Valley, I discovered that the flower is the nemesis of the snake, and I saved the owner of the Hulong Villa, Zhu Wushi, who was next to him. I always quarrel with the people from Hulong Mountain Villa, but it is true that they are together."

As soon as Xu Xiake finished talking about Zhu Qizhen, he knew who he was talking about. The people who followed at Hulong Mountain Villa were not weak in martial arts, and they dared to ignore Zhu. There was no other person except Cao Zhengchun.

"So he's protecting you?"

"Yes, I saved him at the time, so when he was about to throw people into the swamp, he blocked me behind him and didn't let those people move me. Those people protested when they heard that they were going to use them as footsteps. There was a fight, but the martial arts are not crowded, so the result will naturally remain the same." Xu Xiake said.

"The man let me go back the same way after he finished protecting me. I also feel that I am not suitable for the next road. After all, it is already dangerous to get here. I don't have martial arts yet, and the next step is a dead end."

"Then why don't you go and wait here?"

"The man said to let me wait for someone here, tell him the danger of this swamp, and he has no other way to tell, if the person I'm waiting for can't get through, I hope I can persuade me to go back together, the man said He must live up to the expectations of those he waited for."

This is Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zhengchun who has given all his loyalty to him. "Then why did you tell me?"

Chapter 154 Young Master, Your Eyes Say It All

"No one else came over these two days, and you were not surprised when I mentioned the people around Hulong Villa. It can be seen that you have a clue in your heart, and you probably know who that person is. You should That's the one I'm waiting for." Xu Xiake said with a smile, "If you don't come in these two days, I can't wait anymore, I don't have much food left."

"You're very smart," Zhu Qizhen said, "So are you going back now?"

"Yes, the man promised me that as long as I wait for you here, when he comes out, he will tell me what happened behind this mountain range, tell me what he saw and heard, and give me a reference. If I don't leave, That may become a reference for others." Xu Xiake smiled helplessly.

"If you believe me, just go down the mountain and wait, find a place to live, and you won't be disappointed when he comes down." Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, this person is really self-aware, and he didn't follow blindly.

It would be possible for others to directly ask Cao Zhengchun to take him over with this life-saving grace and protect themselves.This Xu Xiake is very sensible and sensible.

Xu Xiake went behind the old tree to pick up his own things, but in fact there was nothing left after so many days.

Hearing what Zhu Qizhen said, he turned his head and smiled, "Of course I believe it." He meant that I would wait for you.

"Didn't that person ask you to persuade me to leave?" Zhu Qizhen also smiled.

Xu Xiake put his things back on his shoulders, "From the beginning, I didn't intend to persuade you. If you can't make it through, then you can't commit suicide and walk into the swamp by yourself. If you can make it through, I won't say anything."

"Then you are not afraid that I will give it a try if I am not sure?" Zhu Qizhen wanted to ask why this person is still so calm until now, he found out, when Xu Xiake said that those people would use them as a stepping stone There was no fear or anxiety in his eyes.

Of course, it is also possible that after so many days, even if he was uneasy and afraid, Zhu Qizhen felt that he was not afraid, and there was no other reason.

That being the case, the question arises for an explorer who doesn't return to martial arts at all, why is he so indifferent to life, even to his own life?

"To tell you the truth, my lord, I think that people can do whatever they want in life." Xu Xiake carried his things on his back and walked towards the way he came. People who turn back, you don’t flinch in front of you, you can only move forward, your eyes say it all, son.”

Zhu Qizhen looked at the back of Xu Xiake leaving, and knew that he would definitely be waiting at the foot of the mountain, no matter how long.Zhu Qizhen smiled, this... is also a wonderful person.

Looking at the swamp in front of him, Zhu Qizhen was really in trouble, because he really had nothing to do.Zhu Qizhen leaned under the old tree that Xu Xiake had made, and looked at the scene in front of him.A little unreal.

Is there really no other way?Even if there is no way, only that way, then he has no one else to step on, let alone he can't do such a thing, if he does such a thing as the king of a country, then his Ming Dynasty will really be separated Not far away. ,

Was there really nothing else that could be his stepping stone? !Is he going to be stuck here?

Not far away, a snake ate a frog. Just as the snake was about to get into the grass and leave, an eagle suddenly leaned over. The snake ate the last supper in its life.Heh, Zhu Qizhen thought that it really is that one thing descends and one thing ah, all things that generate and restrain each other.

Um?Allelopathy?If all changes remain the same, then there must be a way to pass through this swamp, just like the previous martial arts people have passed?What else can I do?Something else... something else... there must be something he forgot, there must be something to help him get through the swamp...

Frogs, snakes, eagles, swamps... "Snake! It's a snake! A snake in Death Valley!" Zhu Qizhen jumped on his forehead, no matter whether it's useful or not, let's catch it first!

So Zhu Qizhen returned the same way, and stood a foot away from the exit of Death Valley to attract those snakes. Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into this place, the army of insects came out again. After a while, Zhu Qizhen concentrated I saw a very well-hidden snake approaching, the so-called grabbing a snake and grabbing seven inches.

Zhu Qizhen was lucky in martial arts, quick and accurate, and caught a snake in one fell swoop, and threw it into the straw basket he had woven in advance.The rest is simple, Zhu Qizhen doesn't look at those bugs at all, and those bugs don't threaten him at all.

All the snakes came slowly, and after catching a basket of snakes, Zhu Qizhen quickly jumped to the exit, and the rest of the snakes were afraid and dared not come out.

Zhu Qizhen was in a good mood and returned to the swamp with a basket in hand.With the mentality of trying, Zhu Qizhen grabbed a snake out of the basket, Zhu Qizhen looked at the snake in his hand, couldn't help it, shook his head, "Tsk, it's really ugly."

Zhu Qizhen put the snake on the swamp, one second...two seconds...three seconds...five seconds...ten seconds, it didn't sink!The snake floated safely on the swamp and was able to swim around in the swamp.

That's right, that's right, the Kunlun Mountains must leave people with a way out, there is always a way.Didn't someone say that, as long as the thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties!

Zhu Qizhen put the straw basket on his back, and with a run-up luck, he jumped and stepped on the snake just now, and threw more snakes down with one hand, keeping his foot on it.It is said that the light snake did not sink when it entered the swamp, and the snake he stepped on did not sink, and they were all alive.

Zhu Qizhen reached the other shore, looked back at the swamp, looked at those snakes, didn't know what he was thinking, took a look before turning around and moving on.

The signs Cao Zhengchun left behind became more and more frequent, indicating that he was not far away from them.It is even possible to see them at any time, so Zhu Qizhen took out a silver area mask from his arms and put it on his face. The mask didn't cover the whole face, and the jaw was exposed.On the contrary, it looks heroic and has characteristics.

Finally, after Zhu Qizhen passed another "Paradise" with a large river of piranhas and many birds and animals, Zhu Qizhen finally saw them.

Some of those people were dressed in rags, and it was impossible to tell that these people were all famous people in the Jianghu. Even Zhu ignoring Cao Zhengchun and the others were in a mess.He was the neatest of the bunch.

These people were all standing together, obviously there was a road in front of them, it was an open space, but there were only two sporadic two standing in the open space.

But the two of them were clearly out of shape, and they danced and danced, looking very much like... lunatics?Then, in front of Zhu Qizhen, two bolts of lightning fell from the sky, and the people in the open space disappeared, their bodies were scorched and black, and there were several identical corpses lying around them.

Chapter 155 Do you think there are suddenly more people wearing masks?

"What... what's going on here, thunder on a sunny day?"

"There are so many dangers in the Kunlun Mountains!"

"Go back... go back..."

Sure enough, seeing these tired people felt even more frightened, and completely regretted coming to this Kunlun Mountains. What kind of Kunlun mirror, no more, no more, how can the magic mirror have a life?

Cao Zhengchun also worked hard to come here, the road was so dangerous and so dangerous, and he bothered to confront Zhu Wushi, he was already tired, anyway, he couldn't make it through this time, so Cao Zhengchun wanted to look around Is there a good place to take a rest first.

In the end, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you can see Zhu Qizhen at a glance.

Cao Zhengchun rubbed his eyes, touched the three stalls of Xichang next to him, and said in a low voice, "Look, does that look like Your Majesty?"

After going through this journey, no matter how hard the East and West factories did not deal with each other, they were very harmonious when they met Zhu Wushi, the same enemy.There are not many fans left with them.It is even more necessary to be consistent with the outside world.

Ma Jinliang said, "It seems...it's His Majesty. Didn't His Majesty say he would come? Suddenly there is a masked figure, so it looks like His Majesty's god here, so it's probably His Majesty."

Said that Ma Jinliang also elbowed Tan Luzi, "Do you think there are more people wearing masks suddenly?"

Tan Luzi turned to Ma Jinliang, "You won't go and see?" He said as he brushed his hair, caring about his image.

Ma Jinliang didn't feel anything, maybe he was used to it.But Cao Zhengchun's teeth were sore when he watched Tan Luzi's hair brushing, he really was what kind of master and what kind of slave.Yuhuatian himself dresses up like a little boy every day, and his subordinates are also like this. If you don't learn from the good, you will learn from the bad.

Cao Zhengchun looked at himself, there were too many scratches, but looking at Tan Luzi, he was much cleaner than him, Cao Zhengchun's mouth twitched.

Ignoring them, Cao Zhengchun turned around and walked towards Zhu Qizhen, whether it was true or not, he had to confirm it.

When Cao Zhengchun walked in front of Zhu Qizhen, he suddenly didn't know how to speak. If he asked directly, it would be fine if it was His Majesty. If not, wouldn't he just tell His Majesty's whereabouts directly?

The other three leaders watched Cao Zhengchun walk straight past, then stood still suddenly, just looked at the masked man, and did not speak.

"What... is he doing?" Ji Xueyong asked doubtfully.

Ma Jinliang and Tan Luzi shook their heads, Tan Luzi said, "Who knows?"

Then the three of them stopped talking and looked towards Cao Zhengchun. After all, it was really important whether that person was His Majesty.It stands to reason that His Majesty should have arrived early these days, and if there is any delay, he should have arrived in these two days.

Cao Zhengchun over there didn't know which tendon was cramping, and unconsciously said, "The king of heaven covers the tiger of the earth?"

Zhu Qizhen was stunned on the spot, originally he thought that Cao Zhengchun recognized him when he walked towards him, but he wondered if his disguise was so bad?Can Zhu ignore it easily?And if those three people from West Factory recognized him, why didn't they come over?

As a result, he saw Cao Zhengchun walking in front of him and stopped talking. Just when he was curious and ready to speak, he heard Cao Zhengchun suddenly say, what the hell?Are you checking the password with him?Didn't recognize him?

It should be because he didn't recognize him, otherwise Cao Zhengchun must have praised him first when he saw him.Zhu Qizhen felt a group of crows flying over his head, and said speechlessly, "Cao Zhengchun, what are you doing?!"

Hearing this voice, and hearing the familiar name being spoken so beautifully, Cao Zhengchun was instantly agitated, and lowered his voice tightly, "Your Majesty, you are finally here. This slave has been waiting so hard for you."

Thanks to the fact that he can't attract attention outside, Cao Zhengchun didn't let go of his hands and feet to perform, even the facial expressions were quite a lot, and the tearful "servant" knew that His Majesty's wise and powerful will definitely come, and the obstacles in front of him were completely in the way. I can't miss you!"

There is no need to be so exaggerated.He is also a man, not a god.Zhu Wushi also saw that the road ahead was fruitless, so he looked around to see if there was another way out.

As a result, he saw all the people in the West Factory looking in the same direction. Looking in their direction, he saw Cao Zhengchun standing in front of a strange masked man. Words such as "wise" and "obstacle".

But Zhu ignored the certainty that this man was not among them in the first place, he could only come later.There was no one else around him, which meant that either all the people with him were dead in front, or he broke in by himself.

No matter what kind of possibility it is, it shows that the visitor is not a fuel-efficient lamp, at least his martial arts are not weak.Now he is still acquainted with Dongchang, so there is definitely no possibility of being with him, Zhu Wushi.

Heh, I thought the emperor sent people from the East Factory to contain me, but when I set off, I found that not only the people from the East Factory, but also the people from the West Factory came to disgust me.He managed to calm down, thinking that there was no more, and now there is another person who has a good relationship with Dongchang and is not weak in martial arts.

Heh, I really think highly of him, Zhu Wushi.

It's all here, Zhu Wushi took the initiative to walk towards Zhu Qizhen in line with the old saying of knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and winning every battle.

But he saw Cao Zhengchun walking over with that masked man, "Thank you, Lord Hou." Then he flicked his neck and walked past him so perfectly.Went to join those people from West Factory.

He was curious, the East and the West are always incompatible, so why did they all unanimously choke on Zhu ignoring this time?It was useless when His Majesty asked them to get along with each other before, but now that he came here, did he change when he saw Zhu Wushi?

He saw those people from the West Factory pass by Cao Zhengchun and after saying something, they bowed their hands respectfully to the masked man.Zhu Wushi guessed that Cao Zhengchun should be introducing the masked man just now.

Oh, why, now the two factories are so good that even the people introduced by the East Factory are so easy to accept?The fact that the two factories are so good is not what Zhu Wushi would like to see.

"Cao Zheng, don't you want to introduce this brother to Ben Hou?" Zhu Wu walked over and called Cao Zhengchun by his pseudonym outside. After all, Cao Zhengchun was a member of the imperial court, so he was not suitable to participate in the affairs of Jianghu.

At this point, Zhu Wushi is very cooperative. After all, if there is a lot of trouble, he will not be easy to do in the Jianghu. "Even if you can introduce these three, then Benhou should also know about it. When you are away from home, you have many friends." . " After speaking, he pointed to the three stalls of Xichang normally, and said the last sentence while looking at Zhu Qizhen.

Cao Zhengchun looked at Zhu Wushi and laughed, "Master Hou wants to make friends, there must be many people who are willing to be friends with you, as for the young man next to me, that is not up to me to decide."

Zhu ignored it and smiled indifferently, "Cao Zheng is right, making friends is purely voluntary. I just don't know if this son is willing."
