Wandering the Heavens

"What! He did this?" The Queen Mother looked shocked.

"Mother, he was the one who planned the rebellion of the Shanxi soldiers. His original plan was to use the name of the ten generals to force me to agree to let him marry Su Xin. After I learned the news, I issued an edict to let the generals return to the defense zone. The generals abandoned by Shanxi were simple-minded and were instigated by him and the people arranged by Wan Sanqian to rebel. Saving his life is already the greatest amnesty for me." Zhengde continued to explain.

"It's Su Xin again. He disobeyed your father for this woman back then, and now... Is this woman the reincarnation of Su Daji?" The Queen Mother now blamed all the sins on Su Xin.

Just as the Queen Mother was sighing, the palace door opened and Zhu Wusi walked in slowly with a knife in his hand. The palace maids and eunuchs present were frightened by his appearance and fainted.

"You really are mother and son! Even your words are exactly the same!" Zhu Wusi stared at the Queen Mother and Zhengde with bloodshot eyes.

"Zhu Wusi, you still don't repent?" Zhengde did not panic because of Zhu Wusi's appearance.

"I'm not wrong! It's your family who is wrong. Now I, Zhu Wusi, am desperate. You don't think I will really obey that damn imperial edict! I'm the best martial artist in the world. Why should I listen to a weak emperor like you? I, Zhu Wusi, will not accept my fate!" Zhu Wusi pointed his knife at Zhengde and said.

"Come here, capture the traitor Zhu Wusi!" Zhengde ignored Zhu Wusi's madness.

"Shut up, I'm not a traitor, you are. I, Zhu Wusi, am unparalleled in wisdom and invincible in martial arts. The throne of the Ming Dynasty should have been mine. It's all because of these damn rules that I'm subordinate to others. Today, I'm going to take back what belongs to me." Zhu Wusi said angrily.

"Zhu Wusi, you are wrong. There are no damn rules in this world, only damn people! With your character, even in troubled times, you are just a hero and can never accomplish anything great, let alone now! If everyone is like you and doesn't follow the rules, or if they can not follow the rules because of their high martial arts skills, then what is the use of the court in this world? What is the use of the system?" Zhengde was still talking nonsense at this time.

"Don't you know that the strong are respected?" Zhu Wusi's defense was somewhat broken.

"Zhu Wusi, let me remind you that no matter how much you boast that your martial arts are the best in the world, it is still martial arts, not practicing Taoism and becoming an immortal. What's more, you are such a person with impure thoughts that even your skills are taken from others. How could God allow you to ascend to become a god?" Zhengde said as he glanced at Zhu Wusi from head to toe with disgust.

"Explain clearly, how can the martial arts I practice be taken from others?" Zhu Wusi is very much like Lu Bu in the New Three Kingdoms. When someone scolds him, he asks that person to prove his point.

"At the beginning, you sneaked into the masters of the eight major sects who were fighting against Gu Santong in Taihu Lake, and used conspiracy and tricks to defeat them one by one. After absorbing the power of 108 people, you killed them all and put the blame on Gu Santong. I have already found out about it. Also, I didn't make it public for the sake of the royal family's face. You don't really think that everything was done perfectly, do you?" Zhengde explained patiently.

"Impossible, those people died at the hands of Gu Santong, otherwise why didn't he explain why they were locked up in the Heavenly Prison for decades!" Zhu Wusi seemed to have come to his senses at this moment.

"Because he can deceive people but he dare not deceive God. Losing half a move is still losing, no matter what the reason is. Zhu Wusi, you still lost to him." Zhengde sneered.

"Shut up, you talk too much. I should have come in and killed you and your son!" Zhu Wusi seemed to have just remembered that he was here to fight to the death.

"Don't you think it's too late now?" Zhengde supported the empress dowager and walked out.

Zhu Wusi wanted to use his internal energy to chop someone down but he found that his dantian veins were empty. Not to mention his internal energy, he didn't even have the strength to lift the knife.

"What on earth did you do to me!"

"The reason why I have been talking to you for so long is just to wait for the poison in the air to take effect after you inhale it. You don't really think that I won't be on guard against a treacherous minister with great martial arts skills!"

Zhengde let go of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother straightened up and tore off the human skin mask on her face, revealing a familiar face.

"Uncle, have you always thought this way? Yun Luo has been listening to your deeds since he was a child, and he wants to be a chivalrous man like you."

"What do kids know! You have been spoiled by everyone since you were a child, so you can only dream like that. Because my mother was of humble origin, I have been looked down upon in the palace and lived in humiliation. Even the rewards I received during festivals were less than those of the crown prince. Do you know how sad I am?" The poison in Zhu Wusi's body had made it impossible for him to stand. He could only kneel down and complain about his misfortune in the palace.

Yunluo herself was not the empress dowager's biological child, but the empress dowager and the emperor did not dislike her because of her background. One reason for this was naturally because she was born a daughter, but the most important thing was that the empress dowager really treated her as her own child.

As for Zhu Wusi saying that the rewards during festivals are less than those of the crown prince, why doesn't he go to heaven!

I don't know where all this resentment comes from.

"Uncle, the royal family has never treated you unfairly! Think about who in the royal family has more power than you, why are you still not satisfied?" Yun Luo shook his head.

"Hmph, it's just a matter of success and failure. You two brothers and sisters don't have to be so hypocritical. If you want to kill me, just kill me!" Zhu Wushi's words were tough, but he was really unwilling to accept it.

"Come here, take the imperial prisoner Zhu Wusi to the Heavenly Prison and imprison him for life." Zhengde said no more.

Zhu Wusi was dragged into the East Factory. Two guards carried him into the prison. Passing by the prison cell that made him feel humiliated, he was finally taken to the deepest part. He became more and more uncomfortable.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Zhu Wusi, you have lost your title and clan member status, so please be careful how you call yourself." Yu Xian said lazily, holding onto an iron tablet.

"Cao Zhengchun, you traitor, you instigated the emperor to kill loyal officials, you..." Zhu Wusi knew where this place was.

"Hehe, Zhu Wusi, didn't you say that the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit? Why don't you dare to admit that you lost?" Yu Xian felt extremely happy when he saw Zhu Wusi who was shackled with special hand and foot shackles.

"Look here, is it familiar? Gu Santong, with his pride, stayed here until his death, and never crossed the iron monument engraved with your name. But you, Zhu Wusi, openly enjoy this stolen honor, which really makes our family look down on you."

Yu Xian tried his best and the entire iron tablet was pushed into the blue bricks under his feet.

"Your martial arts are impossible. I am the best in the world!" Zhu Wusi shouted, shaking his head.

"Number one in the world?"

Yu Xian stretched out his hand and Zhu Wusi was sucked into his hand. He then used the Bei Ming Divine Art and all of Zhu Wusi's complicated skills were plundered by Yu Xian in an instant.

"You...how come you also know the technique of absorbing energy?" Zhu Wusi asked desperately as he fell weakly on the cold ground.

"This is called Bei Ming Divine Art, Zhu Wusi, you probably don't know the consequences of practicing the power-absorbing technique without any scruples. If you don't practice the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art, your body will be blown up by the complicated skills sooner or later, and nothing will be left of it. I saved your life!" Yu Xian felt that he was really kind.

"Impossible, I don't believe there is any other martial arts in this world that can absorb the power of others!"

Zhu Wusi felt himself being lifted up again, with a sharp pain in his shoulder blade. Two iron hooks pierced through him and hung him up.

That’s not all. The dead eunuch slapped and hit him all over his body, making him feel very uncomfortable.

"How dare you treat me like this!" Zhu Wusi is worthy of being the protagonist. He did not faint even after all this torture.

"There's nothing I can do! Your character is not as good as Gu Santong, so in order to make you stay in peace in this prison, I have to use some means. From today on, you, Zhu Wusi, will never be able to see the sun again until you die, and don't even think about practicing martial arts. I just did something to you, and you will never be able to recover your martial arts in this lifetime. Zhu Wusi, the sins you have committed will come back to you sooner or later, and you deserve it!" Yu Xian rarely gave a long speech.
