In the days since Shang Yu disappeared, Zhu Yuanzhang sent his general Xu Da to attack Changzhou, and Zhang Shicheng sent his younger brother Zhang Jiuliu to help. As a result, Xu Da set up an ambush, and Zhang Jiuliu was captured dozens of miles outside the city on Anyang Slope.

Soon, Hua Yunlong and other generals defeated Zhang Shicheng's other younger brother Zhang Shixin north of Jiuguan Town, and killed thousands of enemy soldiers. After repeated failures, Zhang Shicheng panicked and immediately sent someone to send a letter to Zhu Yuanzhang, expressing his willingness to send 500 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver and 200,000 stones of grain, intending to make peace between the two sides.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry at this time, first there was the detention of the envoy, and then the assassination of the domestic official Shang Yu, the reply listed Zhang Shicheng's ten major crimes, and asked Zhang Shicheng to immediately release the envoy from the previous detention place, and inform Shang Yu's whereabouts.

Zhang Shicheng was very willing to let the envoy return. But he didn't know Shang Yu's whereabouts, and he already knew the death of Lu Zhong and the more than 100 soldiers who infiltrated Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, and as a result, he couldn't hand over Shang Yu, so Zhu Yuanzhang once again ordered the army to recapture Changzhou Mansion.

After several days of siege, Zhu Yuanzhang's army finally recaptured Changzhou Mansion. Xu Da is good at siege warfare, and he successfully conquered Changshu in a few days. It was under these circumstances that Zhang Shicheng finally officially accepted the title of "Taiwei" of the Yuan Dynasty and became one of the rulers of the richest areas in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 2,000 li, exceeding the Jianghuai River in the north, Haosi in the west, reaching the sea in the east, and connecting Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangnan in the south.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stopped attacking temporarily, and no one knew the reason at all.

In Yingtianfu, when Zhu Yuanzhang received frequent secret reports from the front, he suddenly received a report from hundreds of secret soldiers in the Shuaifu.

"Report to the Generalissimo, the same shock suddenly sounded at two o'clock today, and the news came that Lord Shang is safe and sound, and Lord Shang asks the Generalissimo not to worry." The secret soldiers who were kneeling on the ground were very happy at this time, and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang very much.

"Really? Where is my virtuous brother now? Whether you are injured or not, come quickly! Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the map of the various forces in the south of the Yangtze River, and when he heard the words of this secret soldier, he immediately stood up in surprise and asked.

"Generalissimo, Lord Shang was rescued by the immortals, but the immortals were in a hurry to leave, but they accidentally threw the adults outside the capital thousands of miles away, and Lord Shang actually supervised the construction of a planetarium in the palace of the capital of Yuan at this time, and took advantage of this opportunity to make a co-shocker, so that the news could be exchanged with the generalissimo after a month, and the details are in this account, and the generalissimo is invited to take a look!" When the secret soldier said this, he raised a notebook in his hand above his head and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"I have long heard Shang Yu Xian Brother say that his master is suspected of being an immortal, this time Shang Yu Xian Brother was able to survive the hateful Lu Zhong and nearly a hundred crossbow bowmen, it seems that it should be his master's doing, but he actually abandoned him in the capital thousands of miles away on the second day, this is really unimaginable! I'd like to see what kind of experience my brother has experienced. Zhu Yuanzhang was even more surprised when he heard this.

Thousands of miles away in Dadu, even if it takes twenty days to ride a fast horse and gallop non-stop, Shang Yu was actually thrown near Dadu, and he also entered the Yuan Court Palace mysteriously, and it seemed that a building was going to be built for the Yuan Court Emperor, which Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't understand at all, but he was sure that Shang Yu would never be committed to serving the Yuan Court, so he immediately read it carefully after he took the notebook, and forgot to sit down for a while.

“…… Pretending to be a craftsman, he found that the master had left a secret message in the book ordering him to use the art of craftsmanship to make the Yuan Court Emperor addicted to it, so that his energy could not focus on political affairs, and to be able to keep the Yuan Hui Emperor was the best way to make the Yuan Court unable to gather the strength of all the tribes. The younger brother Shang Yu will take a ship south in the spring of next year, and he will leave the Yuan Dynasty merchant ship in Taiping Port and return through the area controlled by Zhang Shicheng......

"There is such a strange thing in this world, and Master Shang Yuxian is actually the founding patriarch of the Iron Shirt Gate, which is really amazing! More than 1,000 years ago, the immortals arranged for Shang Yu to go to the capital of Yuan to confuse Emperor Yuan Hui. And the virtuous brother will also return to our army in the spring, but this matter must not be spread outside! Zhu Yuanzhang immediately muttered with joy on his face.

"Zhou Qionghai, you are now the leader of the secret soldiers in the marshal's mansion, this matter can only be notified to the secret army commander Zhao Qing and the mother of Shang Yuxian's brother, the rest of the people are not allowed to know about it, and ordered Zhao Qing to come to Anxian County for a period of time, and when Shang Yuxian's brother returns, I will let him reinstate his official and be smoothly transferred to the marshal's mansion, and I must not lose this wise general again. Let's go, quickly reassure Shang Yu's mother, so that she won't be too sad. Zhu Yuanzhang said to this secret soldier with a serious face.

"Obey the Generalissimo's orders!" The secret soldier named Zhou Qionghai heard this order and immediately responded to the order with joy, there is nothing more important than this Shang Yu who taught him alive in the world, he is just an ordinary teenager, but since entering the secret camp because of his willingness to endure hardships and be diligent in learning, his grades have been continuously improved, which can surpass other young secret soldiers in one fell swoop to become a hundred households, the Luo brothers can only be said to have some strength and killing skills, and Zhou Qionghai knows how to learn the method of communication in the number of the same shock from Shang Yu, and also learned many methods of battle formations, At this time, he has become one of Zhu Yuanzhang's extremely powerful subordinates, and his importance is only slightly weaker than Xu Da's generals.

Shang Yu was in the temporary residence in front of the Celestial Observatory at this time, looking at the two moon pendants that shone with light blue light in his hands with satisfaction.

"Is it this object that can be used to animate the puppet in front of you and give the illusion that it is a living person? If I hadn't gotten that method of making it from my master, I wouldn't have been able to complete it with my previous mastery, but fortunately there was no one at this time, and no one dared to peep at all the items in this room. ”

"I don't know if I can succeed, if I do! You're ready to move on to the next stage! Shang Yu said this, and he was not sure that he merged the two pieces of moon pendant in his hand, and a light blue light like a wave of light blue light poked towards the head of a humanoid object in front of him.

The body of a humanoid object is composed of an extremely complex structure, and it shone with an extremely bright black light. The humanoid object was surrounded by thousands of objects of the same color.

"In order to make it, I used the production of water music as a cover, hoping that it would really succeed as the master said." After poking the two combined pieces of the combined moon pendant into the head of the humanoid object, Shang Yu began to stare at it intently......
