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

Chapter 80: A Gentleman Dies for His Friend, a Dragon Comes from the West

"This gift is really not light!"

"A bowl of Yuxu porridge and a hundred-year-old red fruit."

"There are also house deeds, land deeds, and famous horses. You can choose any martial arts text from His Royal Highness Prince Su's Sutra Library."

"Who could refuse this?"

Lu Xiaofeng kept practicing his skills along the way, and kept sighing that a gentleman would die for his confidant. Zhu Jinzhen was not only a great hero who served his country and his people, but also a man whose name would be passed down through the ages in the family tree. Moreover, he arranged so many practical benefits for him in all aspects as soon as they met.

He believes that even the most malicious people will inevitably be convinced.

Not to mention people like him and Ximen Chuxue who were won over.

He finally understood the real reason why Sikong Zhaixing was so willing to sacrifice his life and betray his good friend without mercy.

What if it were him?

If I don't break Sikong Zhaixing's legs and bring them before Zhu Jinzhen, I will be unworthy of this courtesy.

Hua Manlou also smiled and shook his head, "The Hua family also has assassins who have been trained or recruited since childhood, but compared to His Royal Highness Prince Su, they are nothing."

Zhu Jinzhen's approach set a precedent in the world.

Never before in the past and present has anyone won the hearts of the people like Zhu Jinzhen.

Although the secret guards were not death warriors, Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng and others knew that there were countless secret guards who were willing to die for Zhu Jinzhen, including Sikong Zhaixing in front of them.

"arrive."

Sikong Zhaixing didn't know what Hua Manlou, Lu Xiaofeng and others were thinking, so he took them to a flag at the Cangyun base.

"This is the Cang Yun flag bestowed upon Cang Yun by His Highness himself. It symbolizes supreme glory."

“With the same virtue, we have the same heart, and with the same heart, we have the same spirit.”

Sikong Zhaixing turned around, his face solemn and serious. He looked at Lu Xiaofeng and the other two and said in a deep voice, "Those of us who belong to Cang Yun are brothers and sisters in arms. We must protect each other until our death. Anyone who betrays the country, breaks faith, acts unjustly, or harms the people out of selfish desires will be dealt with by Cang Yun. Things that go against the Cang Yun creed will be judged on right and wrong, without any room for negotiation. The movement of Cang Yun is not caused by the opening of the sky, the rumbling of thunder, or the cessation of frost."

"This is the Cang Yun oath, and also the oath of the Xuanjia Secret Guard."

"The rules and regulations for the Secret Guards are very relaxed. As long as they don't betray their trust and don't harm the people, they can basically do whatever they want when they don't have a mission."

Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Ximen Chuxue nodded solemnly.

Then, under the leadership of Sikong Zhaixing, they took a solemn oath under the Cangyun flag, declaring that they had officially joined the Secret Guard.

After everything happened last night, Sikong Zhaixing's expression relaxed again.

"With the Secret Guard badge, you can enter the Secret Guard's Sutra Library once for free."

"In addition, the Secret Guard has a martial arts lecture hall. All of them are land immortals and celestial masters who explain the ultimate principles of martial arts. They help the Secret Guard sort out the difficult-to-understand martial arts secrets. It's held once a month, so don't miss it."

"If you're lucky enough, you might even get to meet His Highness and have him give you a lecture in the martial arts hall." Sikong Zhaixing said this with a look of longing on his face. Their Highness's insights into martial arts were extraordinary, and he could always clearly explain what they didn't understand.

The only regret for the secret guards is that their prince will only randomly choose one or two days every year to give random military lectures in the secret guards' military academy.

Sikong Zhaixing has never encountered this before in all the years since he joined the Secret Guard, and he has always regretted it.

Lu Xiaofeng continued to ask: "Is there anything else that needs attention?"

"Your most urgent task is to refine the medicinal properties of the Yuxu Porridge and the Centennial Vermillion Fruit..."

Sikong Zhaixing deliberately revealed a shifty expression as he said this, teasing, "This is a valuable item. If you accidentally 'lose' it, you'll suffer a huge loss."

Ximen Chuixue snorted arrogantly, "No one can steal the Hundred Years Red Fruit from me, not even the King of Kings, Chu Liuxiang, the Thief Saint, or the Thief God."

"Having said that, the old monkey's reminder does make sense."

Lu Xiaofeng shrugged and said, "Holding the Hundred-Year Vermilion Fruit is like carrying gold through a busy market. We are not afraid of thieves stealing it, but we are afraid of thieves taking advantage of it. It is better to use it as soon as possible to feel at ease."

Hua Manlou agreed: "Well, Lu Xiaofeng's words make sense."

"Then let's go to my place first." Sikong Zhaixing pinched his chin, walked in front, and led a few people to his residence in Jiayuguan.

……

The next day, early morning.

After Zhu Jinzhen was dressed with the help of the beauty, he heard the report from the secret guard.

"Your Highness, the Six Gates' God of Constables Liu Dufeng and Guo Zhentao, the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Qinglong, and the East Factory's Liu Xi and others are outside the Tiance Palace, requesting to see Your Highness!"

"It came quite quickly."

"I don't have time to deal with them. Take them to see the emperor."

Zhu Jinzhen said without raising his head.

He was not surprised at all that people from the court could find this place.

After all, Changsun Wangqing and Yang Ning went to the God of Wealth Inn in a mighty force to capture, oh no, to hire someone, and they had no intention of hiding it from anyone. If they couldn't find out within one day, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang could basically all go back home to farm.

Zhu Jinzhen already knew everything he wanted to know.

It doesn’t matter whether the emperor stays in our hands or not.

He didn't need to use the emperor to control the princes.

Suddenly, Zhu Jinzhen frowned: "You came so quickly."

He could feel a powerful aura approaching, an almost divine pressure!

Above the western sky, a crimson rainbow light streaked across the sky.

Yin Zhong unleashed his Dragon Divine Art, transforming into a dragon. Its body stretched a hundred feet, and every scale gleamed with dazzling light. A terrifying dragon aura enveloped him, and wherever he passed, clouds rolled and thunder roared.

"This aura, a land immortal?"

"Such a domineering aura, simply inhuman."

"A land immortal?"

"I have already entered the realm of earthly immortals, and my strength is comparable to that of the head coach, yet I still feel palpitations in the face of this power. This person is truly extraordinary."

Figures walked out from Tiance Mansion, Cangyun Army, and Jiayuguan. They ascended to the sky and looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance. Everyone looked alert.

Swish!
Changsun Wangqing, wearing a Tianluo mask, appeared before Tiance and Cangyun's generals like a ghost, pointing his long sword: "Stop him! Without Your Highness's permission, not even a land immortal can fly over Jiayu Pass."

"As ordered!"

One after another, figures moved fiercely, carrying the aura of heaven and earth and rushing towards the vaguely visible dragon shadow.

"Ow~!"

The sound of the dragon's roar shook the sky, like thunder exploding in the sky.

Along with the sound of the dragon's roar, a powerful aura that made people unable to resist appeared out of nowhere, as if an ancient ferocious beast was wreaking havoc on the world, dangerous and terrifying.

The aura it exuded alone was enough to make the people of Jiayuguan breathless.

"How dare you! How dare you act so recklessly in front of Jiayu Pass?"

"Without His Highness's order, not even the gods are allowed to pass."

"Get out of here, Marshal."

Changsun Wangqing raised the long sword upside down and slashed across the sky. The sword light tore through the sky and earth, and the dazzling sword light exploded to a hundred feet in an instant, slashing down towards the sea of ​​clouds!

With one blow, the clouds were torn apart, as if the sky and the earth were split in two.
