Chapter 255: Knocked down with a slap
“Forget it, let that old bald donkey live for another two years.” Zhu Houzhao said casually without being angry.
Wuji twitched the corner of his mouth and raised his eyes subconsciously.
‘Your Majesty, are you sure you are not scolding me in secret? ’
Looking carefully at Zhu Houzhao’s expression, it shouldn’t be the case.
Beside him, Zhang Sanfeng's expression remained unchanged, except for the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised imperceptibly.
"Let's go find Mr. Zheng and see how the situation is with him? Then return to Beijing immediately." Zhu Houzhao said decisively without noticing.
Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Sanfeng had no objection, and Wuji led the way, following the aura left by Mr. Zheng.
Not long after, they met Mr. Zheng who had returned.
"Your Majesty, after those two people escaped into the sea, they disappeared into the sea and disappeared. The old slave could not find them." Zheng Gongdao.
"Forget it if you can't find them. Since they show up, they will be caught one day." Zhu Houzhao said without paying much attention.
Then, he showed a smile and said: "Let's go back to Beijing. This time I fought quite happily and found two more, no, two enemies who were half hidden in the secret.
It has also eliminated Meng Yuan’s conspiracy, and allowed Old Man Zhang and Old Monk to further tie me to the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that I have won a great victory.
I want to return to Beijing to celebrate.” >
Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji were both relieved and helpless.
It was gratifying that Zhu Houzhao was not angry because all the four powerful men in the realm of heaven and man escaped, and all the prey that was about to be obtained was rescued.
After all, they are young people, so they can understand even if they are angry.
Helplessness is that sentence. In fact, there is no need to say it, but it was said openly and openly, which made the two of them feel a little helpless and embarrassed.
Being helpless and embarrassed, I also felt more at ease.
Naturally, they hope to face an emperor who is honest with themselves, rather than an emperor who is intrigued and scheming.
The four of them returned to Daming without any delay.
While flying, Zhu Houzhao said almost word for word what he had just said to the old bastard.
Of course, it is definitely a good idea to beautify yourself a little and make yourself more domineering and wise.
After telling everything just now, Zhu Houzhao looked at Mr. Zheng proudly and expectantly: "Old man, do you think what I said is right?"
Mr. Zheng suppressed the shock in his heart. , pondered for a moment, and then said firmly: "Your Majesty's words are of course right. I also believe that your Majesty can do it. I will fully support your Majesty."
He didn't worry as much as Zhang Sanfeng and others.
After Zhu Houzhao broke through to the realm of heaven and man, he completely let go of the burden in his heart and trusted the other party with all his strength.
Returning my identity to the same as a hundred years ago, I trust His Majesty Taizong and will not question it.
No, it’s more trust.
Because His Majesty Taizong is far less outstanding than His Majesty.
"Hahaha." Zhu Houzhao laughed happily, and turned to look at Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji triumphantly, "Old man Zhang, old monk, you two are not as discerning as the old man."
Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said nothing.
"Zhenren Zhang, Master Wuji, you said that only by looking at what His Majesty does can you decide whether to support His Majesty in unifying the world?
There has to be a certain level, right?
How far can your majesty go so far that you can support him?" Zheng Gong thought for a moment and asked.
"Isn't this simple?" Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji didn't respond. Zhu Houzhao immediately became so confident that he said arrogantly: "When I slap them down, I will naturally support them."
Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji His eyebrows twitched and his smile became a little wider.
"Your Majesty, if you can really defeat the poor monk with one slap, no, within ten moves, then of course your Majesty will have whatever you say." Wuji said with a smile.
He never thought that there was anyone in the world who could defeat him within ten moves.
No, it’s impossible even with a hundred moves.
But he also saw something about Zhu Houzhao's method of defeating that man just now. It was too extreme and domineering, and it was easy to determine the winner.
In the future, it would really be possible to defeat him within a hundred moves, so he raised the condition to ten moves.
It is absolutely impossible to defeat him within ten moves.
Unless Zhu Houzhao breaks through to heaven and man.
"The same goes for poor Taoists, but Your Majesty must keep his original intention unchanged." Zhang Sanfeng also added with a smile.
"Humph, you still dare to look down on me? Just wait, it won't take long." Zhu Houzhao glared at the two of them and said.
‘You obviously look down on us, right? ’
Zhang Sanfeng and the other two were speechless.
The atmosphere became more and more relaxed as the four of them got closer to Daming.
After the four people left, they were several miles west of the original battlefield.
Qiu Rui and Yuwen Chengdu looked at each other with shock that could not be concealed on their faces.
No more words, return quickly.
More than half an hour later, only four people, Yang Guang, Yang Lin, Qiu Rui, and Yuwen Chengdu, existed in a mansion in the city that had been initially cleared by the Sui army.
Qiu Rui and the two told everything they saw.
Yang Guang’s face became more solemn.
"Meng Yuan colluded with two unidentified heavenly and human experts in order to lure the Ming Dynasty's powerful men to come.
The Ming Dynasty saw the flaw, and Zhu Houzhao directly led three heavenly and human experts to fight with them.
Zhu Houzhao powerfully defeated a powerful man in heaven, but was stopped by an old man in black. "
Yang Guang said softly, his tone became heavier, and suddenly his eyes appeared. He said firmly: "Immediately send people to find those three strange heavenly beings. They joined forces with Meng Yuan, not necessarily because they are too close to Meng Yuan, but probably just to deal with the Ming Kingdom together.
It's only a few miles away. They may have discovered you, but they didn't kill you. The fact that Zhu Houzhao didn't show up after they left is the best proof.
Tell them that I, the Sui Dynasty, am willing to ask them to serve as our imperial advisors. Whatever they want, as long as I, the Sui Dynasty, have it, I can give it to them. "
The three people present were shocked.
"Your Majesty, those three people have unknown origins and strange identities after all. "Yang Lin hesitated.
"Uncle Wang, I, the Sui Dynasty, have no more choices and must take this gamble. "Yang Guang said decisively.
Yang Lin remained silent and stopped speaking.
"It's a pity that you didn't hear what Zhu Houzhao said to the old man in black, otherwise you might be able to know something about their identities." Yang Guang sighed.
Qiu Rui and the two were helpless. It was impossible to listen to the conversation between several people in the realm of heaven and humans separated by several miles.
Yang Guang also understood this, no longer thinking about it, and said in a deep voice: "I will just send people to find those three strong men of heaven. In addition, the army will be dispatched immediately. I will destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop."< br>
Yang Lin and the others frowned slightly. The army was already very tired. Are they going to dispatch now?
But thinking about Sui's current predicament, he nodded and went to do it immediately.
···
On the afternoon of August 30, Zhu Houzhao and Zheng Gong returned to the capital together.
Zhang Sanfeng and Wuji did not come. Even if Zhu Houzhao invited them to celebrate together, he declined.
After the four returned to Lu Di, they separated.
Four days have passed, and indeed nothing happened in the capital.
After all, for most officials, it is normal for His Majesty to be absent from the morning court for a long time.
Without the morning court, they would not be able to see His Majesty.
Four days, nothing.
The girls were not surprised either. They were all martial arts practitioners and it was normal for them to be in seclusion for a few days.
Only the three elders in the cabinet were more serious than before, apparently aware of something.
Not surprising either.
Frontfoot had just finished discussing the matter of the Eighth Master, and His Majesty Hinfoot suddenly went into seclusion.
If they couldn't guess it, they wouldn't be able to sit in this seat.
But I guessed that there was nothing I could do, and I had to help cover it up. I could only worry secretly, be more cautious, and be loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
After Zhu Houzhao returned, he immediately called over the three elders of the cabinet who were discussing that day, Gu Xichao and Guo Bujing.
“Hahaha, you don’t know that I made a wise and decisive decision that day.
Old man Liu, you said we should be stable, but the realm of the three heavens and humans is not stable enough.< br>
Lao Gu, you said you can't let go of the opportunity.
You are not as smart as me. I will have the best of both worlds and send the four heavenly beings directly.
Steady did not miss the opportunity. "
"That Eighth Master, although cunning and cunning, actually secretly colluded with the two heavenly beings.
Fortunately, I was a little deeper, and it only took a few, um, a dozen moves to defeat one person..."
Zhu Houzhao proudly followed Liu Jian and Gu Xichao As he spoke, he danced and gestured from time to time.
Although the five people listening were helpless at His Majesty's sudden appearance, they were really sweating.
Especially Gu Xichao, he never expected that four heavenly beings would appear.
Although His Majesty said that the last one who appeared was just to save his two sons and had no real intention to be an enemy of Ming Dynasty.
But what if?
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Gu Xichao immediately said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I misjudged the strong men and gods who colluded with Meng Yuan. Please punish me."
Wei Jinzhong Zhang on the side I opened my mouth and closed it, feeling unhappy in my heart.
Don’t you see that what His Majesty wants most now is true ‘praise’?
"Lao Gu, you are not wrong in your estimate. Your estimate is very accurate. It's just two people. Even if that old bastard doesn't say anything, he may not be the enemy of our Ming Dynasty.
You still have merit. I'm glad I really went, otherwise how would I know that there are two damn little bastards who secretly want to be enemies of my Ming Dynasty?
If I didn't know it all the time, maybe my Ming Dynasty is up to something. When the time comes, we will suffer a big loss and suffer heavy losses." Zhu Houzhao said seriously.
That old bastard, he actually doesn’t have much hostility.
Because he could feel that the other party was not a real bad person, and it was normal to save his son.
Although he is also very unhappy, he doesn't have much murderous intention at the moment. He thinks that he doesn't like killing people that much, and he is the most tolerant.
But he must kill those two little bastards.
Colluding with Meng Yuan and wanting to surround and kill the Ming Dynasty’s powerful men has already touched his bottom line.
Must be killed.
If the old bastard is saved again, then we will kill him together.
"Your Majesty~!" Gu Xichao felt moved and guilty.
Secretly warning myself to be more cautious.
"Speaking of which, there is still a lack of information." Zhu Houzhao put down his hand, looked at Guo Bujing and said: "No one thought that there would be such a father and son, three powerful men and gods.
Lao Guo, try your best to find out as much information as possible about these three bastards. They are very powerful, so be careful and secretive.”
"I understand."
