Chapter 35: Unacceptable Tasks
Xinwang Zhu Youzhen, the future Emperor Chongzhen, that is, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was forced by Li Zicheng to hang himself on the coal mountain, is said to have died a very poor death.
However, the current Zhu Youzhen is still a thirteen or fourteen-year-old young man, he sits on a high chariot, covered by a wind curtain, and his figure is extraordinary.
Since ancient times, it has been very rare for a vassal king to go out on patrol for the Son of Heaven, and it is even less common in the Ming Dynasty, which also shows that King Xin is very trusted by the emperor's brother.
There was also an old eunuch who rode in the chariot with King Xin.
Zuo Yi carefully observed that when King Xin was facing forward, his back was straight, and he paid attention to his demeanor.
But when he faced the eunuch, he bowed slightly, looking very respectful.
"What can make King Xin so respectful, isn't it Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the dynasty?" Zuo Yi muttered secretly in his heart.
At this time, the system prompt suddenly sounded in his head:
"Ding! The system generates a random task!"
"Random Task 1: Kill Zhu Youzhen, the king of Daming Xin, change the fortune of Daming, and reward 10,000 points of martial luck!"
"Random Quest 2: Kill Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the Great Ming Dynasty, change the fortune of the Great Ming, and reward a Black Wood Treasure Chest!"
Groove ......
Zuo Yi couldn't help but feel a pain in the egg.
The rewards for these two random tasks given by the system are quite powerful!
Especially in the second task, killing Wei Zhongxian can get a black wood treasure chest, which simply made Zuo Yi salivate, and his heart trembled three times!
Intuitively, this black wood treasure chest may not be as precious as the bronze treasure chest, but after all, it is a system product, so it must not be too bad.
But when you think about it, the difficulty of these two tasks is also a bit scary!
Frankly speaking, in Zuo Yi's opinion, these two goods are not good birds, and they can be said to have contributed greatly to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
Needless to say, although he was quite diligent after taking the position, it was a pity that his ability was limited and his vision was extremely poor.
In the final analysis, he is an incompetent and faint king, and it is not a pity to die.
As for Wei Zhongxian, the reason why he gained power was actually the Emperor of the Apocalypse who launched him to take the blame and check and balance the Donglin Party.
Later, when Wei Zhongxian carried more and more pots, and the Donglin Party became more and more weak, Emperor Tianqi may have accidentally revealed a trace of rabbit and dog cooking, and as a result, he was killed according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty emperor......
After the death of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian supported Chongzhen to ascend to the throne, but he still could not escape the fate of the rabbit and the dog, and soon died in the hands of Chongzhen.
As for whether these two people should die or not, Zuo Yi actually doesn't care.
All he cares about is whether he can complete the task, after all, 10,000 martial arts and a black wood treasure chest are really fragrant......
Even for the sake of a rich reward, the future Emperor Chongzhen and Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch, can be regarded as a well-deserved death, at least for Zuo Yi.
But when Zuo Yi made a little calculation, he gradually came to a conclusion - Zhu Youzhen could not be killed.
Let's not talk about whether he can kill Zhu Youzhen under the protection of countless guards, if Zhu Youzhen is stabbed to death here, I am afraid that all the martial arts figures in the entire Henan will be unlucky, including the Songshan faction and the Shaolin Temple.
As for Zuo Yi, who has seen King Xin's car today, it must be even more difficult to escape the fate of the end of the world.
This 10,000 martial arts is worth it, it's not easy to earn.
As for Wei Zhongxian......
Zuo Yi raised his gaze and quietly observed the old eunuch in the chariot.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank......
In the chariot.
Wei Zhongxian leisurely tasted the fragrant tea, and asked gently: "It's a long way to Shaanxi, and it's quite hard to bump along the way, can His Royal Highness King Xin still get used to it?"
When Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, heard this, he hurriedly leaned forward sideways, and said with a humble smile: "Xiao Wang went out to inspect Shaanxi for the emperor's brother and was ordered to investigate the theft of disaster relief grain.
However, the father-in-law was supposed to preside over the overall situation in the palace, but this time he had to accompany Xiao Wang to suffer this crime, which was really Xiao Wang's sin. β
Although Zhu Youzhen is not very old, he has a quick mind, transparent eyebrows, speaks very measuredly, and his position is also very low.
"Giggles, King Xin laughed, the old slave was born to work hard, but he didn't deserve to be so elevated by His Highness. Wei Zhongxian smiled like an old hen, and seemed to be very useful.
Zhu Youzhen hurriedly smiled softly: "Deserved, deserved, my father-in-law works for state affairs all day long, which can be described as a thousand years of merit, I am a useless idle king, and I can ride in the same car with my father-in-law, I am already ......a privilege in my third life."
Got it, got itβ
A cicada chirp came from a willow tree on the side of the road, adding a little heat to this scorching summer.
Xinwang Zhu Youzhen raised his eyebrows invisibly, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, but he didn't know if it was hot or caused by too much pressure.
Wei Zhongxian squinted his old eyes and said with a meaningful smile: "It's just summer, these insects have begun to call, and the people who call are dry, but unfortunately they don't understand the truth that the earlier they call, the sooner they die." β
King Xin's hands trembled uncontrollably, his eyes flashed, and he pretended to be angry: "These damn insects, they dare to disturb their father-in-law, it's a great crime!
"No need. β
Wei Zhongxian interrupted King Xin with a loud voice, and said with a sinister smile: "Since it is a great crime, it is cheap to get rid of them, and it is ...... to give them death."
Sneering β
With a flick of his fingers, a few wisps of white light flew out of his hand, and the sound of cicadas on the trees disappeared in an instant.
A few dozen meters away from the willow tree, Zuo Yi relied on his extraordinary eyesight to see that there was an embroidery needle nailed to the heads of the three cicadas......
"it! Wei Zhongxian turned out to be a martial arts master! embroidery needle...... Could it be that his cultivation is also a sunflower treasure book?"
Zuo Yi couldn't help but be shocked.
This Wei Zhongxian seems to be by no means Wei Zhongxian in the embroidered spring knife, nor Wei Zhongxian in the smiling and proud rivers and lakes, let alone Wei Zhongxian in the official history, so which world is he from......
Zuo Yi couldn't think of it for the time being, but he didn't bother to think about it.
Anyway, as long as he knew that his current self was definitely not Wei Zhongxian's opponent, it would be enough.
Fifty steps away, the strength of killing three cicadas with embroidery needles is too terrifying, and a first-class master can't do it, right?
No matter how good the reward is, you have to have a life to get it.
"System, you're naughty again, find a cool place to stay......"
Zuo Yi finally made up his mind and gave up these two tasks that made him excited.
However, he also thought in his heart that when his strength increased in the future, these two tasks would not be impossible to accept......
As the car drove away, the pedestrians on the side of the road got up and continued to move forward.
As soon as Zuo Yi stood up, he heard a voice speaking to himself:
"Dare to ask this son, but the 'wind with a sword, a hundred steps invincible' Zuo Yi Zuo Shaoxia?"
Zuo Yi turned around and looked at it, and found that it were three Songshan Sect disciples wearing dark red clothes and carrying long swords.
The leader was about thirty years old, with a slender figure, well-eyed eyebrows, and a short beard, staring at him with a glittering gaze.
Zuo Yi arched his hand and said: "It's Zuo Yi below, I don't know if the three are ......"
The short-bearded middle-aged man laughed happily and said, "Hahahaha! Great! Senior Brother Zuo! We finally found you!"
Let me introduce myself, my name is Di Xiu, and I am the eldest disciple of Ling Zun.
The three of us were ordered by the head of the sect to welcome you up the mountain, but fortunately, Senior Brother Jiang had sharp eyes and saw you from afar, otherwise we would have almost missed it. β
"Three senior brothers, Zuo Yi is polite. I didn't expect to bother the three senior brothers to deliberately go down the mountain for a run, and it was hard work. Zuo Yi said politely.
Zuo Yi was not surprised that his father sent someone to greet him.
After all, the disturbances between him and Lin Pingzhi in the past three months were not small, and it was impossible for the Songshan faction not to be unaware.
The three of Di Xiu were proud when they saw that Zuo Yi did not hold his identity, but was humble and polite, and they all secretly had a good impression of Zuo Yi.
Di Xiu smiled: "Senior Brother Zuo is too polite, this is what we should do." Senior Brother Zuo, let's get on the road as soon as possible, and strive to return to the mountain gate before dark, Shizun has been thinking about you these days, don't let him wait for a long time......"
"Good!"
