Chapter 65: A Year Later
Half a year later, all the people of the five major factions imprisoned in the Dadu Wan'an Temple were killed by the Yuan court.
And at this time~ Wudang Mountain received the news that Song Qingshu was beheaded by Lu Ming. Song Yuanqiao was in tears, and Zhang Sanfeng sighed behind closed doors.
Another year later, although there were no five major factions in the Central Plains, the Ming Sect Army was still fighting against the Yuan Court. As a result, Zhao Min was taken back from command. The two elders of Xuan Ming and others obeyed the orders of King Ruyang from the beginning.
On this day, in an ordinary house in Maozhou, this place was bought by Zhu Yuanzhang a year ago as the second base camp for Lu Ming, Yang Xiao and others to live in.
"Sect Master, for more than a year, my subordinates have been holding back a question in their hearts. Yang Xiao wanted to speak and stopped.
Lu Ming took his eyes off the Heart Seal Sutra in his hand, raised his head slightly and replied, "But it's okay to say it!"
"Since a year ago, Zhu Yuanzhang has held a dragon slaying knife in his hand. The subordinates of this knife knew that it was given to Zhu Yuanzhang by the sect leader after the Ruijin Banner Zhuang Zheng was reforged. But why did you give it to him, my subordinates don't know!"
"In recent days, from Haozhou to Dadu, all the territory taken by the Ming Sect Army is rumored ~ It is rumored that he Zhu Yuanzhang is the true son of heaven, holding a dragon slaying knife, and he dares not to obey the world!"
After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he knew that he was cautious, and he had already lowered his head and waited for an answer.
When Lu Ming heard this, he put down the Heart Seal Sutra brought by Zhu Yuanzhang not long ago, looked at him and asked: "Yang Xiao~ After the disappearance of the previous Yang Sect Master, why can't you rectify the Ming Sect?
"Not everyone can have power. You and I are higher than him in martial arts Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know how much, but in the barracks, do you think there will be soldiers who will listen to you and me?"
Yang Xiao arched his hand: "My subordinates are ashamed, because of their arrogant personality when they were young, they were not in harmony with their brothers in the sect. Later~ naturally it was unpopular. ”
Lu Ming shook his head slightly, and then replied: "You and I are different from him after all, if you can do a good job as this light left envoy, you are already at the peak of your own power." And I, although I don't know how, intend to get away. ”
"You and I are already free people, but now that thousands of people are caught in fire and water, we have to plunge into the game. Wouldn't it be better to wait until the world is settled, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, live in seclusion, and supervise the Ninth Five-Year Plan?"
Yang Xiao smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, some people don't worry about us and don't want us to live in seclusion~"
"It's okay!"
Lu Ming waved his hand: "His life of Zhu Yuanzhang is still in my hands, and what he gave him that day was not only the dragon slaying knife and Wu Mu's suicide note." ”
"Sect Master!you~!" Yang Xiao was taken aback when he heard this.
"Don't be surprised! Now even you can see that Zhu Laosi's ambitions, do you still think that he has laid down the country and will retreat to meritocracy for the sake of the Ming religious rules?"
Lu Ming sneered, and then said slowly: "This~ is also for the sake of the brothers in the sect, since ancient times, there are many people who call the emperor and queen unkind, and there are not a few things about unloading the mill and killing donkeys." If he is divided into people, I will ensure that he will die well. ”
In Yang Xiao's opinion, this statement was indeed true, but he was even more surprised that the person in front of him could even put down the throne gently.
And more than a year ago, I saw the clues of Zhu Yuanzhang. If you kill him at that time, although there will be some turmoil, the throne can be controlled.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and Lu Ming got up unhurriedly.
The reason why I came to the front line this time was also to better help the righteous army to destroy the Yuan court as soon as possible.
And he, who deeply understands his weakness, also sent Xiao Zhiruo to Spirit Snake Island long ago. Now that the realm is now Jinhua's mother-in-law, mother and daughter and Xie Xun are all nursing there, but no one will know where Xiao Zhiruo is.
And then again, the little girl Jiuyin True Scripture is becoming more and more proficient, even if there is danger, she is not without a fight.
"Sect Master, just now a letter was sent back by General Xu Da. Said that it must be handed over to the sect leader in person!"
Kneeling on one knee is a steward behind here, who is considered Xu Da's cronies.
Lu Ming took the letter and opened it to take a look:
The king of Ruyang ordered the two elders of Xuan Ming and others to ambush outside the military camp, and yesterday he captured General Zhu and returned to the palace, and is now imprisoned in the dungeon of Dadu. I hope that the sect master will save him quickly!
Yang Xiao took the letter and read it, and asked suspiciously: "Kutoutuo, this person is the master of the daughter of the King of Ruyang, a native of the Western Regions, why did he give us this news?"
"What does Yang Zuo think?" Lu Ming asked.
"This matter is either fake, or it lures the enemy deeper. If Zhu Laosi is really gone, then he may also be dead!" Yang Xiao replied.
However, Lu Ming shook his head, and then said: "This bitter head is a person from my Ming Sect. What he said was definitely not a lie to us. And Zhu Laosi could not be killed. ”
"The Yuan court is now losing and retreating, and killing Zhu Yuanzhang will not solve the big problem. On the contrary, the mourning soldiers will win, and you must know that there is still a Xu Da on the front line. Killing Zhu Laosi will only backfire!"
Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "The sect leader said that Kutoutuo is from my Ming Sect? Who is he? My subordinates don't remember that there was a person from the Western Regions in the sect. ”
Lu Ming first waved his hand to the steward below: "Go down and prepare the horse, Yang Zuo and I will leave immediately." ”
Then he replied to Yang Xiao: "Same as your identity, Fan Yao, the right envoy of light." Let's go, we need to go!"
Yang Xiao, who was full of doubts, didn't ask much when he saw this, but now he knew the methods of this sect leader. It seems that it is like being able to pinch and calculate, and always anticipate the enemy's opportunity. Just like Zhu Laosi, who now has a different heart, he has already seen it thoroughly.
Out of the courtyard, Lu Ming and Yang Xiao got on their horses and galloped away. The two of them still have to go to Xu Da's side first, and they can only save people after understanding the situation.
Two days later~
At the cost of exhausting three horses along the way, the two finally arrived at Xu Da's military camp.
At this time, Xu Da was discussing the military situation in the camp, and there was also a rescue matter. When Lu Ming came, he immediately stopped the meeting and went out to greet him.
"Subordinates, wait, welcome to the sect leader!"
Lu Ming looked at the next crowd, and there was only one Xu Da in the 9 fears, who was sincerely welcomed because of the grace of saving his life.
As for the others, I'm afraid that I will feel more or less aggrieved in my heart~
Soon after, after the salute, the people entered the tent. Xu Da wanted Lu Ming to sit on the upper seat, but was pushed back by him. It couldn't be helped, and he ended up sitting there by himself.
"A few days ago, an arrow struck outside the city, but it was not aimed at the soldiers. Instead, he brought a letter. But Brother Zhu is indeed missing!" Xu Da said.
"You wait here, I'll go with Yang Zuo's envoy to explore the truth and talk about it!"
