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

Chapter 69: Shuiyue and his party, add a piece of clothing, martial arts self-cultivation furnace opens
Almost when Lian Chengbi left, Zhu Jinzhen also stepped in from outside the door and landed in the position where he had just been.

"Patriarch, is there no time to lose?"

"Has it reached the beginning of the plot? The Shuiyuedongtian clan leader is about to die suddenly?"

Zhu Jinzhen's eyes lit up, and as if shrinking the earth into an inch, he quickly flew towards a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was the most abundant. In a blink of an eye, he was thousands of feet away. In a few breaths, he appeared in front of a towering mountain like a cloud.

"The use of sleight of hand and illusion is truly superb."

"If I hadn't become a celestial being, I would have found it difficult to discover that this towering mountain could be fake." Zhu Jinzhen couldn't help but admire it. This magic of illusion, which combined the inspiration of heaven and earth to create illusions and barriers, was really new to him.

However, this little trick couldn't stop him.

Zhu Jinzhen waved his hand, and a door appeared before him. He then grasped the door handle and silently said to himself, "Anywhere Door, I want to go in."

"Crack!"

As the door handle turned, the moment Zhu Jinzhen pushed the door open, what came into view was a dazzling room, just like the Langhuan Library where the Emperor of Heaven stored his books, with neatly arranged and piled up like mountains of scrolls everywhere.

"It's really a good baby."

Zhu Jinzhen stepped in with satisfaction and waited for about a few minutes. After finding that he had not touched any barrier or spell, he began to observe the library of Shuiyue Cave with peace of mind.

"Second brother, wait for me."

"Hey, I can't wait any longer."

"I come at a really bad time." Zhu Jinzhen picked up a scroll, then closed the portal, silently said in his heart that he would return to the study in Tiance Mansion, then pushed open the door and walked in, and put away the portal as well.

The next moment, a door somewhere in the library was pushed open, and two young figures rushed in.

"Don't bother me, Tongxin. I'm looking for some ancient books that can cure Dad's illness. Can you go play somewhere else first?"

"Then let me help too."

"you……"

Tong Zhan wanted to refuse, but thinking about his younger brother's talent and good luck, he thought he might find something unexpected. So he nodded and pointed in another direction: "Okay, you go over there and I'll go this way."

"okay."

Childishness skipped towards the books on the other side of the library.

And in Tiance Mansion, in Zhu Jinzhen’s study.

He held the scroll, feeling a little confused.

"Oracle bones?"

Zhu Jinzhen read the whole article with densely packed words, and he could not recognize any of them except the ones that looked like "dragon".

Helplessly, Zhu Jinzhen could only throw it on the bookshelf.

"Your Highness."

"Wang Qing, are you awake?"

Zhu Jinzhen turned around and saw that it was Changsun Wangqing who came.

Changsun Wangqing came up behind Zhu Jinzhen and gently massaged his shoulders. "Yimei came to report that His Highness is planning to hold a military exercise, so I came to take a look."

Zhu Jinzhen narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and leaned on Changsun Wangqing's body: "I didn't think it through. I should have told them not to disturb you."

"I am not that delicate. Since Your Highness is holding a military exercise, how can I, as the commander-in-chief of Cang Yun, stay out of it?"

"It's called a martial arts performance, but in reality, it's just an opportunity to intimidate the emperor and make him put aside his inappropriate thoughts."

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid that this might backfire?"

"Not afraid."

Zhu Jinzhen smiled faintly, grabbed the hand on his shoulder, and pulled Changsun Wangqing into his arms. He said with a smile, "Even if the emperor is really blinded by greed, the worst that can happen is that he will just stage another Taizong Jingnan drama and sweep away all the enemies. I'm not ready yet, but that doesn't mean I need to be patient."

"When the time comes, Wangqing, please remind me to put on more clothes!"

Changsun Wangqing chuckled, "Your Highness, how could you personally remind others to add more clothes for you?"

Of course she knew what that 'dress' meant.

It was because he knew this that Changsun Wangqing was overjoyed.

Zhu Jinzhen also shook his head and laughed, but seeing Changsun Wangqing's beautiful smile, he still teased, "Would you be willing to give me another piece of clothing?"

Changsun Wangqing smiled, knowing that her Highness was in a playful mood, and was happy to join in the fun. "Later, I'll order Yimei's skilled craftsmen from the Secret Guard to make you ten different styles of clothing for you to try on."

"Pick until you're satisfied." "How dare you! Such a big deal is not something you can take lightly." Zhu Jinzhen deliberately raised his voice and shouted, then changed the subject and lifted Changsun Wangqing's chin: "Unless, Wangqing, let me help you pick out two of your phoenix robes."

Zhang Sun Wangqing's eyes trembled, but he pretended to be weak: "Your Highness, you won't do anything bad, will you?"

Thinking of some of his prince's preferences and interests, Changsun Wangqing couldn't help but shudder.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Jinzhen's palm slapped directly on Changsun Wangqing's round buttocks, and looked at her with a dark face: "Wangqing, were you thinking about something bad in your mind just now?"

"No, no." Changsun Wangqing turned his head away, not daring to look him in the eye.

"I don't believe it, unless..."

As Zhu Jinzhen spoke, he leaned close to Changsun Wangqing's ear and told him some conditions that made Changsun Wangqing blush.

"How about it?"

Changsun Wangqing blushed and nodded with a trembling voice: "I will obey you."

Zhu Jinzhen hugged Changsun Wangqing tightly with satisfaction.

……

About an hour and a half later.

Zhu Jinzhencai took his eldest grandson Wangqing out of the room and came to a secret room underground that had been prepared in Tiance Mansion.

"Your Highness, the catalog you requested is ready."

"Your Highness, these are the soldiers from the Tiance and Cangyun armies who are the most tight-lipped and have the worst martial arts talent."

Changsun Wangqing and Li Chengen stood on both sides and spoke at the same time.

"We pay our respects to His Highness. May Your Highness live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand thousand years."

"No need to be so formal." Zhu Jinzhen waved his hand and helped everyone up from a distance.

"The seven of you enter different parts of this furnace in order." As Zhu Jinzhen spoke, the martial arts self-cultivation furnace several people tall placed in front of him opened, revealing seven directions.

The soldiers of Cang Yun and Tian Ce, except for those who were recruited later, were absolutely loyal to Zhu Jinzhen. Even though they were faced with an eight-diagram furnace that was several people tall and seemed to have a flickering flame, they stepped in decisively.

“Throw Gu Santong in.”

"Yes."

Yang Ning stepped out and bowed.

Zhu Jinzhen pointed to the exposed corner of the martial arts self-cultivation furnace: "Qian position."

"Yes." Yang Ning did not hesitate to throw Gu Santong, who had washed up, had his five senses sealed, and was in a coma, into the Bagua furnace.

"Let's begin. Let me see your limits."

As Zhu Jinzhen's mind moved, the martial arts self-cultivation furnace closed completely. There were no earth-shattering visions, no painful howls, no torture worse than death, etc.

But the people waiting outside could clearly hear all kinds of surprising sounds coming from the furnace.

"Your Highness, I have suddenly gained a lot of insights into martial arts."

"The same is true for me."

"Your Highness, I seem to have suddenly comprehended the unique skills called Vajra Indestructible Divine Art and Absorbing Power Great Art, and my attainments are quite profound."

"Hey, my Prideful Blood Fighting Will and Iron Prison Law are also increasing. How can this be?"

The people waiting outside looked at each other in confusion.

Except for Zhu Jinzhen, no one knew what had happened.

"According to the information provided by the system, this martial arts self-cultivation furnace can share skills, insights, and realms. If it can truly be a one-to-one replica, then when the furnace is opened, there will be seven more powerful little golden men of the Celestial Realm."

"Like the indestructible divine power of wearing golden armor, it is very suitable for fighting on the battlefield."

"With the existence of Gu Santong, combined with the martial arts self-cultivation furnace, I can transform all those soldiers with low talent into Gu Santong at their peak in the shortest possible time."

"The formation of an army of celestial phenomena is just around the corner."

A faint smile appeared on Zhu Jinzhen's face, and he just hoped that the emperor would not be scared.
