Chapter 418: The Selfish Virtuous King
Zhu Hongwu looked at Tian Min who was kneeling in front of him and said with disdain.
"Do you think I really need your loyalty?!"
"However, you are indeed of some use to me!"
After saying that, Zhu Hongwu stretched out a big hand and lifted up Tian Min, who was kneeling in front of him.
Feeling the strength of Zhu Hongwu's big hands on his neck, Tian Min felt as if he was suffocating.
As the feeling of suffocation came over him, Tian Min kept kicking his feet in the air.
Looking at Tian Min who was struggling, Zhu Hongwu laughed even more happily.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how enviable, such a young body."
"As expected, you are a martial artist at the post-natal grandmaster level that Brother Tian and I have supported."
"In such a short time, he was able to break through to the middle stage of the acquired grandmaster!"
"It seems that your blood is enough to keep me alive."
After saying that, Zhu Hongwu exerted a little force on his hands, and Tian Min completely lost all consciousness.
Seeing that Tian Min had lost consciousness, Zhu Hongwu picked him up and walked out of the study.
Several generals and a group of imperial guards guarding outside the study looked at Tian Min in Zhu Hongwu's hands.
Without saying anything, they rushed forward and surrounded Zhu Hongwu.
"Zhu Family Ancestor, where are you taking His Majesty?!"
"Put your majesty down quickly, or don't blame me for being rude!"
As they spoke, several generals took the lead in drawing the long swords at their waists.
A group of imperial guards raised their weapons and surrounded Zhu Hongwu.
Facing the obstruction of the crowd, Zhu Hongwu spoke loudly and calmly.
"What are you doing? Get out of here!"
"I am following His Majesty's order to take His Majesty to practice in seclusion. I wonder if any of you dare to stop me!"
As Zhu Hongwu finished speaking, all the imperial guards began .
Several leading generals were also equally confused.
In their view, Zhu Hongwu's words were unreliable.
But the only person who can prove everything right now is Tian Min, who has lost consciousness.
They had no way of knowing whether what Zhu Hongwu said was true or false.
After some inner struggle, several generals could only choose to believe Zhu Hongwu temporarily.
"In that case, then we are being rude!"
"Everyone, get out of the way, don't delay His Majesty's retreat!"
Seeing that the leading generals had made way, the imperial guards had no choice but to make way as well.
Looking at this scene, Zhu Hongwu nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, when your majesty wakes up, I will personally recommend you for the credit!"
After saying that, Zhu Hongwu carried Tian Min back to the small courtyard where he and Tian Cuifeng had been in seclusion before.
At this time, the bodies of the four great priests and Tian Cuifeng in the entire courtyard had been picked up.
Zhu Hongwu carried Tian Min and walked straight into the room.
After entering the room, Zhu Hongwu directly threw Tian Min to the ground.
Looking at Tian Min who was still in a coma, Zhu Hongwu couldn't help but grin.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect that in the end, I would still be the better one."
“Brother Tian, Brother Tian, you didn’t expect that I would plot against you!”
As Zhu Hongwu spoke, he took out the secret method that Tian Cuifeng had stolen from the ancient holy land from his arms.
There were a few large ancient seal characters printed on this tattered surface of the secret book.
The method of burning blood to increase longevity!
This secret method is the one that Tian Cuifeng prepared to use as a blood sacrifice to Tian Min in order to increase his own lifespan.
Zhu Hongwu stroked the secret book with his hand in ecstasy, his eyes filled with greed.
Soon, Zhu Hongwu began to look through this secret book.
And according to the contents of the secret method, Tian Min was stripped naked.
It was thrown into a furnace that Tian Cuifeng had prepared long ago.
After placing Tian Min into the alchemy furnace, Zhu Hongwu began to circulate his internal energy according to the secret method.
And, he used his other hand to light the fire under the furnace.
Then, he controlled his internal energy and poured it into the alchemy furnace.
After doing these things, Zhu Hongwu condensed a blade of energy and cut his wrist.
Then he took off his clothes and jumped up.
He jumped into the alchemy furnace and sat cross-legged in front of Tian Min's body.
Looking at Tian Min, the blood had almost flooded the entire bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Zhu Hongwu smiled slightly and slowly closed his eyes.
And according to the method recorded in the secret technique, he activated the internal energy of his body.
He began to control his own blood essence and transform it into Tian Min's blood essence.
Of course, these essence and blood did not appear out of thin air.
Instead, it was condensed by Zhu Hongwu using the internal energy and the fire outside the alchemy furnace under him!
With the exchange of essence and blood, Tian Min's life breath became weaker and weaker.
On the other hand, Zhu Hongwu, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, seemed to have regained vitality.
The most obvious thing is the white hair, which is slowly turning into black!
At the same time, in the Wanping City Lord’s Mansion.
After discussing with Yu Yongyuan, Jiang Chen decided not to delay any further.
Take advantage of this opportunity to capture Nanxi County in one go!
After making the decision, Jiang Chen gave the order.
For a moment, the Yan State army, which had been silent for several days, took action again.
Watching the Yan army leaving Wanping City and heading towards Nanxi County.
The people of Wanping City actually came to the city gate spontaneously.
He watched as the Yan army, which had been enemies just a few days ago, marched towards Nanxi County.
Looking at the people of Wanping City who came spontaneously to see him off, Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
“The human heart is such an interesting thing.”
"When I led my troops to attack Wanping City just now, these people were terrified."
"Now, they are eager for me to bring people to stay."
After hearing Jiang Chen's words, Gongsun Liang, who came with the second batch of Yan State troops to enter Qi, also said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. It shows that Your Majesty is in the hearts of these people."
"He is a good emperor and a virtuous ruler!"
As Gongsun Liang finished speaking, Jiang Chen shook his head in self-mockery.
"I am only pursuing my own selfish desires. How can I be considered a virtuous king?"
"However, I hope to unify the rest of the countries in my lifetime."
"Let the world no longer suffer from the chaos of war, and let the people live in peace."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he turned over and walked down from the Qilin beast, returning to the huge chariot that belonged to him.
In this way, the 400,000 Yan army handed over Wanping City to the second batch of 50,000 Yan army that entered Qi.
They all left Wanping City and followed Jiang Chen northwards towards Nanxi County!
Jiang Chen returned to the chariot and sat on the black dragon throne.
He closed his eyes and rested, not knowing what he was thinking about...
