Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains Chapter 2: The Kingdom of All Demons

Published:

About seventeen years later, it is the fourth year of Jianwen in the Ming Dynasty in the human world. Zhu Yuanzhang had been dead for many years. Due to the untimely death of Prince Zhu Biaoying, he passed his throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen, now Emperor Jianwen. But Zhu Yunwen failed to keep the country entrusted to him by his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang. Because of the implementation of the policy of reducing the vassal, his fourth uncle, King Zhu Di of Yan, rebelled in July of the first year of Jianwen. He entered the palace on three days; at this time, Emperor Jianwen was escaping from the secret passage along with several Jinyiwei guards who were responsible for protecting him while the palace was on fire; two days ago, he already knew that the capital was about to be lost. Next, he opened the three kits that his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang left him when he was dying. When he opened the first kit, there were only two words “arson” written on it. When he opened the second kit, he saw another When he opened the third kit with the word “substitute”, he found that there were no words on the note at all, only a picture like a secret passage;

“What do these three tips from Grandpa Huang mean?”

So he invited Chang Cheng, the most trusted advisor around him, to explain the meaning of the kit; Chang Cheng was the fourth son of Chang Yuchun, the famous founding general of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, he won the trust of Zhu Yuanzhang. Before Zhu Yuanzhang passed the throne to his grandson Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang recommended him to serve as Zhu Yunwen’s advisor when he became the emperor in the future. After Zhu Yunwen became emperor, Chang Cheng was one of the main advisers who advocated the policy of cutting down the vassal to consolidate the imperial power. Before Zhu Di, the king of Yan, had rebelled, Chang Cheng suggested to Zhu Yunwen to cut Zhu Di’s vassal first, but Zhu Yunwen had never Being able to listen to Jin Changcheng’s advice eventually led to the rebellion of the King of Yan, Zhu Di, which led to the tragedy of Zhu Di leading his army into the imperial city. When Changcheng saw the three tips Zhu Yunwen showed him, he analyzed it in his mind for a while, and suddenly he understood the meaning; so he said to Zhu Yunwen

“The late emperor really made a good plan, so he had expected such a day”

“Chang Aiqing, what are you talking about? Please explain it to me”

Zhu Yunwen said anxiously, so Chang Cheng went on to say

“Reporting to the emperor, the meaning of these three tips is this; arson is to burn down the palace before the Yan thieves attack the capital and then take the opportunity to escape”

After listening to Chang Cheng’s words, Zhu Yunwen muttered

“But how to escape”

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, wait for Wei Chen to explain to you one by one”

After finishing speaking, Chang Cheng went on to say

“The second tip is to ask you to find someone to die for you, so that the thief thinks that you have been burned to death by the fire; the third tip is to draw a secret passage. According to the minister’s inference, this The secret passage should be in the center of this hall”

After listening to Chang Cheng’s words, Zhu Yunwen was shocked and said

“Really? Then you can find it out for me”

Chang Cheng cupped his hands and said

“Submit, follow the order”

So Chang Cheng groped around the hall for a while according to the picture. At this time, he touched a switch that could move with experience; after a while, a man appeared under the throne of the emperor where Zhu Yunwen was sitting. There is a secret room that is slowly opened, and there is a ladder under the secret room to enter the secret room

“Your Majesty, this should be here; when the Yan thief invades the capital, you will order the palace to be burned down, and then escape through this secret passage, and the minister will wear your clothes and kill himself in the hall, so that the Yan thief will kill himself. would have thought you had died in the palace”

“No, that won’t work”

Zhu Yunwen just stopped and said, Zhu Yunwen’s heart has always been very kind, but it is precisely because of his kindness that he has lost his country; kindness has always been his most fatal weakness, and as a generation of kings, it is impossible to exist A little sympathetic; before he succeeded to the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang once reminded him that he must be ruthless after becoming emperor, otherwise he would suffer a big loss; but Zhu Yunwen never listened to his grandfather’s words and implemented the policy of reducing the vassal. Zhu Yunwen remembered that his fourth uncle Zhu Di had a love for him and never did anything to his fourth uncle Zhu Di, which led to today’s catastrophe.

“How can I sacrifice a loyal minister like you in order to let myself escape? Let’s go together”

“No need, Your Majesty, this minister is the main advisor who advocates the removal of the Yan thief’s vassal position, and the Yan thief will definitely not let me go; instead of letting me die at the hands of the Yan thief, it is better to die loyally for Your Majesty, and it is considered a death well deserved. Besides, the minister is the son of Chang Yuchun, the founding father of this dynasty, what about the family of the minister even if you forgive Yan thieves?”

After listening to this, Zhu Yunwen burst into tears, he sighed and said

“Chang Aiqing, I hurt you!”

“Your Majesty, please don’t say that. It is an honor for Wei Chen to die for Your Majesty”

On June 13th, Zhu Di led his army to formally invade the palace. At this time, the palace had been set on fire by Zhu Yunwen’s order. When Zhu Di entered the palace hall, he found a corpse wearing a dragon robe. The corpse has changed beyond recognition and it is impossible to tell whether the owner of the corpse is Emperor Jianwen or not; so Zhu Di ordered Zu Zuo around him to conduct an inspection, and Zu Zuo reported to Zhu Dihui after examining the body

“Report to King Yan, based on the bones and teeth of the corpse, it is inferred that the corpse must not belong to Jianwen. In addition, the villain also found this jade pendant on the corpse”

Zhu Di took a look at the jade pendant and found that the jade pendant was engraved with the word “Chang”. Zhu Di recognized this jade pendant. This jade pendant was a token of the first emperor Zhu Yuanzhang to the founding general Chang Yuchun’s fourth son, Chang Cheng

“It turned out to be the boy Chang Cheng”

Zhu Di stared at the corpse wearing the dragon robe on the ground and said, after finishing speaking, he held the jade pendant tightly and said viciously

“You were the one who advocated cutting my vassal position back then. Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen didn’t agree at that time. Do you think I would spare your family if you died like this?”

Then he ordered the men beside him

“The order goes on, and Chang Cheng’s family will be punished by the nine clans”

At this time, one of his subordinates hesitated

“Reporting to King Yan, Chang Cheng is the fourth son of Chang Yuchun, the famous founding general of the country. The first emperor ordered to treat the Chang clan kindly. You are against the emperor’s order”

“I can’t control this. I only kill Chang Cheng’s descendants. As for Chang Yuchun’s other sons, I will treat them well”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Di said to the men who entered the palace with him

“Don’t tell anyone what you saw today. Just say that Emperor Jianwen has been burned to death. If anyone dares to leak a word, I will kill him and the nine clans. Did you hear that?”

Several subordinates answered in unison

“Got it, King Yan”

Three days later, Emperor Jianwen had successfully escaped from the palace along with several guards in Jinyi who protected him. They had been rushing eastward through Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and had reached the coast of the East China Sea. It was an endless sea. When they had reached the coast of the East China Sea, Zhu Di ordered the pursuers who were in ambush there to chase them here and surrounded Emperor Jianwen and others. The leader was a man wearing a black gauze hat and a The middle-aged man in red official uniform shouted to Emperor Jianwen on horseback

“Your Majesty, let’s capture it! You can’t escape. King Yan has ordered you to take your head, either you will kill it yourself, or we will do it”

A Jinyiwei standing next to Emperor Jianwen said angrily

“You fickle little people, Your Majesty treats you well at ordinary times. You are paid by the court’s salary, and you are paid by the court’s salary. Today, you dare to assassinate Your Majesty”

And the official said

“Don’t be stupid, now that King Yan has ruled the world, the future throne will belong to the King of Yan, the past emperor is no longer the emperor, he is now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river and it is difficult to protect himself, do you want to follow Did he die together?”

The five Jinyiwei guards who were responsible for protecting Zhu Yunwen raised their swords and said in unison

“I will never give up my heart to protect the emperor”

“Okay, since you’re going to die, then you can’t blame me”

After speaking, the official who came to kill Emperor Jianwen ordered

“Arrow”

In a short while, the arrows poured down like raindrops, and the five Jinyiwei were shot to death instantly

“How about it, Zhu Yunwen, do you want to kill yourself or do you want to be shot to death by random arrows like them”

The official said this contemptuously, but he didn’t expect that just after he finished saying this sentence, a golden dragon suddenly jumped out of the East China Sea, stunned everyone present including Zhu Yunwen; The golden dragon suddenly spewed out a green light from its mouth. When the green light shone on the dozen or so warriors who came to assassinate Zhu Yunwen, the dozen or so warriors instantly turned into a mass of powder and not even the bones were left. After seeing this, the leading official was almost scared to pee, so he hurriedly led the rest of his troops to escape without a trace. After everyone escaped, the golden dragon descended to Zhu Yunwen’s side and turned into a beautiful woman in a dark green silk dress, she was the queen of the Myriad Demons

“My benefactor, I finally found you”

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons smiled and said to Zhu Yunwen, who was full of doubts

“Do we know each other? I don’t seem to have seen you before”

“Has the benefactor forgot? You rescued a little dragon here more than a thousand years ago, when you were still a child, you rescued the dragon and released it into the sea, the one you rescued The dragon is me”

“Ah, really? It seems to be the case, but it’s like a dream”

Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes and said this in a daze. While talking, he recalled a dream he often had. In the dream, he really lived a thousand years ago. In the dream, he lived on the coast of the East China Sea. In a small fishing village, the residents of the village make a living by fishing. One day when he was playing alone at the beach, he found a wounded little golden dragon on the beach, so he secretly took the little golden dragon home and gave it to it. Heal the wounds, wait until the wound of the little golden dragon recovers, and then put it back into the sea. More than a thousand years have passed, and the fishing village that used to be long gone. When Zhu Yunwen opened his eyes, he guessed that

“Could that little boy be my past life? Could this dream be the memory of my past life?”

After listening to this sentence, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons said excitedly

“My benefactor, I finally found you; you saved my life in my last life, and I am willing to serve you in this life”

After speaking, she turned into a golden dragon and said to Zhu Yunwen

“Benefactor, ride on my back, I’m going to take you to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons”

Zhu Yunwen thought that there was no way for him to be chased by his fourth uncle in the human world, so he did not hesitate to ride the dragon’s back and decided to go to the Wan Yao Kingdom with the Queen of Wan Yao. The demon queen said

“Benefactor, hold my dragon beard, I’m going to fly”

After listening to the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, Zhu Yunwen clenched the dragon’s beard and took off together with the golden dragon transformed by the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons. When the golden dragon took off in mid-air, Zhu Yunwen, who was riding on the dragon’s back, asked

“How did you recognize me as the kid who saved you?”

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons replied

“Your head is a little out of the way, exactly like the little kid who saved me back then. I’ve been waiting for you on the shore of the East China Sea for over a thousand years. I never thought I’d meet you here.”

And the official who chased and killed Zhu Yunwen under the secret order of Zhu Di was scared away by the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and rushed back to the capital to meet Zhu Di, who had already become an emperor; after Zhu Di became emperor, he changed the era name to Yongle and the temple name to Yongle Chengzu; called Emperor Yongle by later generations; when he saw Zhu Xi, he told Zhu Xi all the encounters he had encountered when chasing Zhu Yunwen a few days ago; after Zhu Xi heard it, he analyzed it

“A golden dragon jumped out of the sea, and suddenly shot a green light from its mouth and burned more than a dozen warriors. This dragon is obviously here to rescue Zhu Yunwen; but what is its relationship with Zhu Yunwen, and why should it be rescued? What about him?”

After listening to Zhu Xi’s words, Daoyan, a monk beside him, spoke; Daoyan was the most trusted counsellor and counselor around Zhu Xi. His real name was Yao Guangxiao, and he encouraged Zhu Xi to rebel and launch a calamity. The main planner of the battle was him.

“Your Majesty, have you heard of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons?”

Zhu Di replied

“I have heard of this. When I was young, I heard from my father that there was an island on the easternmost side of the coast of the East China Sea, and that was the kingdom of ten thousand demons, that is, the ruling center of all the demons in the world; for hundreds of years No one dares to approach that isolated island, as long as they approach, they will be eaten by monsters”

“Well, you’re right. I think that golden dragon must have come from Wan Yao Nation, and I deduce that Zhu Yunwen must have been brought to Wan Yao Island by that dragon now”

“It’s just that I don’t understand, what does this kid Zhu Yunwen have to do with Wan Yaoguo?”

Zhu Di said, after speaking, he remembered an incident when he talked to Zhu Yunwen from his father Zhu Yuanzhang

“I remembered that Zhu Yunwen once said when he was talking to his father that he had been having a dream recently, dreaming that he lived in a fishing village more than a thousand years ago, which happened to be in the East China Sea. Bin, he rescued a little dragon when he lived in that fishing village, and when the little dragon’s wound healed, he put the dragon back into the sea”

After listening to Zhu Di’s narration, Yao Guangxiao speculated that

“According to the old monk’s judgment, the dragon Zhu Yunwen saved in his dream must be the one that took him away now; the dream Zhu Yunwen had must be the memory of his previous life, and that dragon had a lot of respect for Zhu Yunwen. Well, if Zhu Yunwen makes a comeback with the help of the power of Wan Yaoguo, it is not impossible.”

This is exactly what Zhu Di is most worried about

“If he makes a comeback with the help of the power of Wan Yao Nation, we will definitely not be able to defeat those monsters. If he starts a war with Wan Yao Nation, it will cause disputes between the human and monster worlds, so the best way is to remove Zhu Yunwen from Wan Yao. After being cheated out of the country, kill them, so as to avoid future troubles.”

At this time, Zhu Yunwen has arrived at the Land of Ten Thousand Demons safely with the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons. Under the leadership of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, the two enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Ten Thousand Demons Country Island together; in fact, Ten Thousand Demons Country is not as scary as people think. The plants on it have been growing relatively well, with green mountains and green water, waterfalls, butterflies, streams, rivers, grasses and flowers are presented here one by one; the monsters here all live the same life as humans, some small The goblins play by the river every day, and the big goblins fish by the river like some ordinary humans, chop wood on the green hills, and then go home to make a fire to cook. Many, six or seven demon cubs can be born at one time; after seeing this scene, Zhu Yunwen asked

“You have so many goblins, and Wan Yao Island is so small, aren’t you afraid of being infested with demons?”

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons smiled and said

“These ordinary goblins don’t have long lifespans. They will die when they are twenty-five or six years old. After they die, their bodies will disappear automatically and do not need to be buried. The long-lived ones are old demons like me, but Long-lived monsters need to be cultivated for a long time before they can become humanoids. If they continue to practice, they can live forever. The long-lived monsters here are usually fox monsters.”

“Why”

“Because the fox demons like to go to the human world to play and seduce some men in the human world; if you want to seduce men in the human world, you have to cultivate yourself into a beautiful woman. Women are the most charming and attractive of the five realms, and they often confuse people with their beauty and eventually **** their blood and eat their hearts.”

After listening to this, Zhu Yunwen said suddenly

“Oh, it’s no wonder that in the human world there are often legends about fox demons seducing men and finally killing them”

After listening to Zhu Yunwen’s words, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons sneered

“Okay, let me show you the plants of our Wan Yao Kingdom”

After she finished speaking, she took Zhu Yunwen’s hand and ran up, passing through a long waterfall and a small stream, and finally landed gently on a green lawn by the pond; at this time, Zhu Yunwen saw a grove growing beside the pond. A tree full of strange fruits. The leaves of this tree are extremely lush, and on the branches that are vertically down grows a large number of strange fruits; The bright red and red skin has soft golden thorns; the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons picked one of them and put it on Zhu Yunwen’s mouth and said with a smile

“This fruit is called Jinsihongguo. It represents the fruit of love in our country of ten thousand demons. Eat it quickly”

“Jinsihongguo, this is the first time I’ve heard such a strange name”

After he finished speaking, he was about to take the golden red fruit from the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons. Who knows, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons actually retracted her hand and said

“No, I want to feed you”

“Why?”

“Why not just feed you”

“Alright then”

So Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and took a bite of the golden red fruit that the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons stuffed into his mouth; when he tasted it slowly in his mouth, he felt that his mouth was full of juiciness and flesh, much like a mango. The taste does not feel like mango, but like hawthorn. The thin golden thorns on the fruit are not prickly at all. When chewing, it is like eating bean sprouts. The taste of golden thorns is also very refreshing. It was as sweet as a hawthorn; he thought that he had grown up in the palace for so many years and had eaten so many fruits from Fanbang, and it was the first time he had eaten such delicious fruit, when he was enjoying the gold. When the silk red fruit was delicious, I suddenly heard the sweet, squeamish and loving voice of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons

“How is it? Is it delicious?”

Zhu Yunwen quickly nodded and replied

“Well, delicious, delicious, I have never eaten this fruit in the palace before”

At this moment, when Zhu Yunwen was not paying attention, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons made a false gesture as if she was about to fall into the water next to the fruit tree; at this time, Zhu Yunwen quickly put down the golden red fruit he ate and flew away They ran to the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and hugged her willow-like slender waist and pulled her up. During the process of pulling the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons to the shore of the small pond, the two of them made a big 360-degree rotation. The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons was very comfortable lying in Zhu Yunwen’s arms and looked at the handsome and handsome young man who was once an emperor with a smile on her face;

“Are you all right?”

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons still kept her sweet and lovely smile and replied

“I’m fine”

After they finished speaking, the two were looking at each other affectionately. Zhu Yunwen seemed to see her love for him in the charming big eyes of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, while the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons received from Zhu Yunwen. Those deep eyes also saw that his heart at this moment had already moved his true feelings towards him; so the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons took the initiative to close her eyes and asked Zhu Yunwen to come and kiss her. When she closed her eyes, she looked like She looks like a pure and beautiful girl who doesn’t eat human fireworks. Although she is the lord of the demon kingdom, she is a woman after all, and what she desires most is still the love of a man. At this time, Zhu Yunwen had already had a real love for this beautiful queen with a pure face. From the moment she first saw her transformed into a human form, she fell in love with her unknowingly. This kind of love and His love for the queen in the palace in the past was completely different from the love for concubines, because it was true love and not as hypocritical as the love in the palace. So he also closed his eyes and wanted to kiss the pure and beautiful Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, but at this moment a fox demon who rushed over to report to the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons destroyed their good deeds. This fox demon was dressed in pale green silk clothes, with a pair of charming big eyes, a pair of good-looking eyebrows like willow leaves, a small mouth like Yin Tao, and skin that was as white as suet but bloody. Compared with the beauty of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, she seems to be on the same level; I saw her flying to the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and Zhu Yunwen as if being blown by the wind, reporting to her master, Queen of Ten Thousand Demons

“Report to the Queen, all the demon ministers have set up today’s banquet according to your instructions, waiting for you to come to the banquet”

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons replied

“Okay, I got it. You go down, I and this son of Zhu will be here soon”

At this time, the fox demon wearing light green silk clothes carefully looked at Zhu Yunwen’s face for a while and said with a smile

“Queen, is this the descendant of your former savior? You are so handsome, Queen, you really have a vision”

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons shyly said to her

“Go, go, what’s your business? You go and tell them now that we’ll be over in a minute”

After listening to the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, the fox demon wearing light green silk clothes slowly took off like a breeze, and flew towards the fairy cave of Ten Thousand Demons. At this time, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons smiled and took Zhu Yunwen’s hand and said

“Come on, let’s go to the fairy cave together for a banquet”

After she finished speaking, she took Zhu Yunwen and jumped, flying towards the direction of Wan Yaoxian Cave like clouds and fog; when the two of them came to the entrance of Wan Yaoxian Cave, the two very handsome guards at the entrance of the cave had already turned into The humanoid male monster put down the spear in his hand and said hello to the queen immediately

“Welcome to the Queen”

“Hmm”

When the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons nodded, she took Zhu Yunwen into the fairy cave. Zhu Yunwen carefully observed everything in the fairy cave. He found that the layout of the cave was similar to the layout of the palace hall, but the color and scale were a little different. The pillars in the cave were made of jade, and the floor was made of jade blocks. There is also a roll of red carpet on the floor, and the top of the cave is covered with a string of shining pearls, which illuminates the scenery in the cave as clearly as day. The common things such as the study room, tables and chairs, incense burners, etc. that are often seen in the hall can be seen almost everywhere here; at this time, all the male demons and female demons in the human form stood up like the civil and military officials above the court. The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons pays tribute

“Welcome to the Queen”

“Well, good”

After the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons finished speaking, she made a gesture to tell them to sit down quickly, so the monsters who turned into humanoids all sat down. Zhu Yunwen was still observing everything around him. He found that there were obviously more banshees in the cave than male demons, and all the banshees were as beautiful as flowers and jade. The maids, concubines and concubines are much better-looking. The food on the long banquet table is not as disgusting as the legends say. Except for fruits, petals and some medicinal herbs, there is no such thing as human heart and human flesh. It seems disgusting; at this time, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons was walking along the red carpet in the direction of her throne holding Zhu Yunwen’s arm. Zhu Yunwen glanced at the throne of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, which was almost the same as when she was the emperor. The width, length and shape of the throne are exactly the same, except that the queen’s throne is carved out of jade. When the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and Zhu Yunwen walked to the throne together, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons actually let Zhu Yunwen sit down first in front of her ministers; such a move surprised all the demon officials and officials present. Her Majesty the Queen is such a humble and respectful person, such a person is definitely not an ordinary person. When Zhu Yunwen sat on the throne of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons uneasy, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons sat down with him; then the Queen introduced to her civil and military officials

“My ministers, this person’s name is Zhu Yunwen. He used to be the king of the human world. Because he was deprived of the throne by his relatives, he was exiled to us. In the past, he saved this king’s life; in order to repay the life-saving grace of his previous life, this king decided to give up the throne and serve him for the rest of his life”

Speaking of this, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons suddenly knelt in front of Zhu Yunwen and said

“The subordinate sees the king of all demons”

After listening to this, Zhu Yunwen asked suspiciously

“What did you say? I’m the king of demons?”

Then the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons went on to say

“From today on, you are the king of our Wan Yao Nation, and I am no longer the Queen of Wan Yao Nation. From now on, you will be in charge of everything in Wan Yao Nation, and your subordinates are willing to follow the king for life. , go through fire and water, never give up.”

Then the civil and military officials under the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons also said in unison

“Go through fire and water, never give up; go through fire and water, never give up”

“You don’t even want your own country for me, is it worth it?”

Zhu Yunwen asked, and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons said

“For the man I love the most, let alone the country, I would not hesitate to take my life”

After speaking, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons took out the jade seal of Ten Thousand Demons and presented it to Zhu Yunwen, saying

“I ask the king of the Wan Yao Kingdom to officially ascend to the throne and lead the kingdom of the demon king”

His Royal Highness’s civil and military officials also followed the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and said in unison

“I ask the king of the Wan Yao Kingdom to officially ascend to the throne and lead the kingdom of thousands of monsters”

At this time, when Zhu Yunwen saw that the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and her subordinates were so sincere in recommending him as the King of Ten Thousand Demons, it would be a little disrespectful if he continued to hesitate, so he stood up and took the jade seal of Ten Thousand Demons. He said in the tone of the emperor

“Okay, from today on, I will be the king of the Wan Yao Kingdom, and I will always enjoy peace with all things in the world”

Just as Zhu Yunwen’s voice fell, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons and her subordinate civil and military officials continued to shout in unison

“Long live the king of demons, long live the king of demons, long live the king of demons”

After three long live calls, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons showed her true feelings to Zhu Yunwen, who had just become the king of Ten Thousand Demons, in front of the ministers of Ten Thousand Demons

“The King of Wan Yao Kingdom, his subordinates have a small request, I hope His Majesty can agree”

“What request? Hurry up and say, I will promise you”

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons said shyly at this time

“Your Majesty would like to ask His Majesty to make me Queen. Your Majesty used to be your savior. The first time your Majesty saw His Majesty, your heart had been in love with His Majesty. I begged…request…request…”

At this time, the queen has become like a little girl who is in love, bowing her head shyly, and her snow-white cheeks suddenly become as bright as rouge; she forcibly suppressed her shy emotions and state, then closed his eyes and said quickly

“I ask Your Majesty to agree to my marriage proposal, make me queen, and my subordinates are willing to follow His Majesty for life”

At this time, Zhu Yunwen also showed his true feelings to the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons

“Actually, I have already fallen in love with you from the first moment I saw you. Since we are in love with each other, I might as soon as possible decree you to be queen, and we will marry today”

After listening to Zhu Yunwen’s words, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons immediately knelt down again and said very gratefully

“Thank you, Your Majesty,”

“Alright, the Queen, please get up”

At this time, there was a warm applause from under the main hall; that night, Zhu Yunwen and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons held a lively wedding; although Zhu Yunwen did not become the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, but now he does He was the king of the Myriad Demon Kingdom, and he also married a beautiful and beautiful wife who loved him deeply. When he thought of this, he felt very satisfied. The so-called “successful loss of horses” is a blessing in disguise; this is how people’s life is, If there is loss, there will be gain, and if there is gain, there will be loss. Although it is a special pity to lose one of the most precious things, but only after the loss will you gain something more precious. After the wedding ceremony, Zhu Yunwen returned to the bridal chamber and gently lifted off the veil of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons. After seeing the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons in such a bridal costume, Zhu Yunwen had mixed feelings;

“I can’t believe that even though I, Zhu Yunwen, did not become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I became the king of the Wan Yao Kingdom, and married someone I really liked as my wife. It seems that God treats me well”

“Yes, you saved my life in the past life, but today I can marry you in this life. It seems that the fate of the two of us is destined”

At this time, Zhu Yunwen suddenly remembered an important thing

“By the way, lady, what’s your real name! I can’t call you the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons like the ministers do”

And the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons also thought of this at this time

“That’s right, we are already husband and wife, I should tell my husband my name too”

After speaking, the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons said her name

“My name is Nightshade, my grandfather used to be a dragon that Xuanyuan Huangdi rode when he fought against Chiyou. He died in the battle of Huangdi’s battle against Chiyou. Later, after Huangdi defeated Chiyou, in order to repay my grandfather, he established The Yellow Emperor gave this island to my father to the east of the coast of the East China Sea and named this island the Land of Ten Thousand Demons, making it the center of all the monsters that rule the world for generations.”

After listening to this, Zhu Yunwen finally understood

“Your family has guarded this island of ten thousand demons and ruled the country of ten thousand demons for generations, but now you are giving it to a mortal like me for nothing. What’s the trouble with you?”

At this time, nightshade suddenly fell into Zhu Yunwen’s arms and said

“I can give up my life for the most lovable man in my life, what’s a mere island of ten thousand demons?”

After she finished speaking, she left Zhu Yunwen’s arms, and then Yun Gong spit out a golden pill from her mouth and gently caught it with her hand

“This golden pill is the Golden Pill of Ten Thousand Demons. It is the treasure of our Ten Thousand Demon Nation. It contains the essence of my thousands of years of cultivation. Eat it quickly; after eating it, you will be qualified to become the Ten Thousand Demon Nation. the king”

Zhu Yunwen took the golden pill and said hesitantly

“This golden elixir contains the essence of your thousands of years of cultivation. If I eat it, the essence of your thousands of years of cultivation will not be in vain.

“Xianggong, you don’t have to worry about this, you just need to take it. After taking it, you will have unfathomable mana and an immortal body. If you want to rule the Ten Thousand Demons, you must have both of these. Because you are a mortal after all and cannot get these things through cultivation.”

After listening to Solanum nigrum’s words, Zhu Yunwen said very moved

“In order for me to rule the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, I have to sacrifice your thousands of years of practice. I feel really sorry for my husband, but I took this golden elixir in order to have an immortal body to stay with you as my husband. “

After speaking, Zhu Yunwen swallowed the golden pill without hesitation; after taking the golden pill, Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt that there was a powerful force moving around in his body, and soon he felt that he was able to control these strength. Seeing his reaction, nightshade said happily

“Xiang Gong, you already have an immortal body”

After listening to the lady’s words, Zhu Yunwen hugged his lady in his arms and said

“My lady, we two will live together forever in this life”

Since Zhu Yunwen took the Ten Thousand Demons Golden Pill, his mana has become stronger and stronger, and he has become the No. 1 character with the deepest and strongest internal strength in the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, while the mana of Nightshade has become inferior Before, after losing the Golden Elixir of Ten Thousand Demons, she has completely lost the powerful effect of Golden Elixir in her body, but she does not feel regret or regret, because it is enough to have her husband to protect her; after becoming the king of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom Zhu Yunwen feels that he is more free than he was when he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because there are no court rules set down by his grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang, and there is no need to worry about intrigue with brothers and sisters and ministers. You can do whatever you want here. What can be done, this unrestrained feeling is something he has never enjoyed before. After Zhu Yunwen became the king of the Myriad Demons, he moved all the management systems he had when he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty here, and strictly stipulated that the fox demons were not allowed to continue killing innocent men indiscriminately to seduce men in the human world, and using magic All the fox demons have opened up the internal strength of the whole body, so that they no longer have to eat human hearts to make a living. Strictly prohibiting individual monsters from harming the world, advocating peaceful coexistence with human beings, to protect the stability between the human and monster worlds, fully demonstrated him as a model of a generation of wise men; he once fantasized about becoming the most wise king in the history of the Ming Dynasty, but But his fourth uncle didn’t give him this chance. If the Battle of Jingnan hadn’t happened, he might have really become a very effective king in the history of the Ming Dynasty; in terms of personal feelings, his relationship with his wife Solanum Kui The relationship has always been very good, and the couple have always gotten along very well. Although they have not given birth to a boy and a girl, they are very comfortable and comfortable.

Three years later, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Ming Chengzu, Zhu Di, dispatched a two-hundred and four-year-old army led by Zheng He in order to promote the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty and promote the close connection and trade between the Ming Dynasty and the world. A huge fleet of more than ten ships and 27,400 crew members set off from Suzhou and Liujiagang to visit countries around the world; Zheng He, formerly known as Ma Sanbao, was born in a family in Xianyang, Yunnan. The army attacked Yunnan. The 10-year-old Ma Sanbao was taken captive into the Ming camp and became an **** in the palace, and later entered Zhu Di’s palace of the Prince of Yan. In the Jingnan Incident, he made military exploits for Zhu Di in Zhengzhou, Hebei. In the second year of Yongle’s reign, Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Chengzu, believed that the surname Ma could not be placed in the Three Treasures Hall, so he gave Ma Sanbao the surname of Zheng in the Nanjing Imperial Book “Zheng” and changed his name to He. Now he is serving as the **** of internal officials and supervisors under Zhu Di. second only to the supervisor. In addition, he is a superb martial arts master; before Zheng He was ordered to visit Nanyang and other countries around the world, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di secretly summoned him in his study.

“Zheng He, do you know why I ordered you to go to Nanyang?”

Zheng He cupped his hands and replied

“Back to the emperor, in order to carry forward the power of my Daming Dynasty and promote the friendly exchanges between my Daming and Southeast Asian countries and countries in the world”

“Well, that’s right”

Zhu Di finished and took a sip of the tea on the table and then continued

“But I have a very special task for you”

After listening to Zhu Di’s words, Zheng He immediately understood what he wanted to say next

“Is it about Zhu Yunwen?”

“Yes, you really expected things like God, I didn’t see you wrong, you have followed me for so many years, and you can almost understand anything I think about”

After speaking, Zhu Di stood up on the seat in his study and said while walking

“Actually, Zhu Yunwen is not dead. He escaped from the secret passage of the palace with several Jinyiwei three years ago. The one who was burned to death was his chief counselor Chang Cheng; He kept walking eastward to the coast of the East China Sea and was stopped by the officers and soldiers I secretly sent to intercept him, but who knew that a golden dragon rescued him at this time. I have concluded that this kid Zhu Yunwen must be in the Wan Yao Kingdom by now”

After listening to Zhu Di’s words, Zheng He also analyzed the words

“Well, the emperor is right. The coast of the East China Sea is very close to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, and that dragon must have come from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons”

At this time, Zhu Di stopped walking and continued talking with his back to Zheng He

“So I ordered you to lead your fleet to surround Wanyao Island and force them to hand over Zhu Yunwen. Don’t take the initiative to start a war with Wanyao Kingdom, because I don’t want to provoke a dispute between the human and monster worlds”

After speaking, Zhu Di suddenly turned around to face Zheng He and took out a roll of imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to him

“This imperial decree is for you to read to that boy Zhu Yunwen. Don’t open it until the critical moment. Wait until he is tricked into the boat and then kill him, understand?”

Zheng He took the imperial decree and replied

“WeChen understands”

When Zheng He’s fleet sailed to the coast of the East China Sea, Zheng He commanded the ship to continue eastward; at this time, his assistant Ma Huan reminded him

“Master Zheng, if you drive further east, you will reach the Wan Yao Kingdom. There are many monsters on the island of the Wan Yao Kingdom. There are folk rumors that any ships that approach the island will be attacked by the monsters on the island, and the crew will be given to the monsters by the monsters. Eat, let’s take a detour, sir.”

But Zheng He’s heart is still attached to the mission arranged by the emperor, even if he encounters a big risk, he must move forward bravely; so he said to Ma Huan with a serious expression

“I came to rescue Emperor Jianwen who was besieged in the Wanyao Kingdom by the emperor’s secret order. Now that Emperor Jianwen is imprisoned on Wanyao Island by monsters, how can I see death without saving”

After speaking, he ordered Ma Huan

“Ma Huan, I now order you to lead a warship to surround the Island of Ten Thousand Demons, hurry up”

Without thinking about it, Ma Huan arched his arms and answered directly

“Ma Huan obeys”

After an hour, when Zheng He’s fleet approached Wan Yao Island, it divided into two and surrounded the entire Wan Yao Nation; at this time, in the fairy cave of Wan Yao Nation , a demon soldier who has not yet cultivated into human form is reporting this situation to the king of ten thousand demons, Zhu Yunwen

“Report, Your Majesty, the ships of the Ming Dynasty have surrounded our country of all demons”

“How many ships are there and who are they?”

“Report to the king, there are many ships, the commander at the head seems to be a eunuch, and the queen is leading a group of sirens to confront them”

“What did you say?”

At this time, on a certain beachhead in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, Zheng He was standing on the bow of a treasure ship he was riding on, talking to nightshade standing on a huge reef on the beachhead, while the surrounding nightshade Then there are some weird looking sirens

“What do you mean by leading a fleet to surround our Ten Thousand Demon Island? Do you want to start a war between the human world and the demon world?”

After listening to Solanum nigrum, Zheng He said

“I came to take our Emperor Jianwen back by the imperial decree of our current emperor; I know that our Emperor Jianwen was kidnapped by the goblins of your Wan Yaoguo a few years ago, and now I want to take him back to Beijing, as long as you If you are willing to hand him over, I will immediately lead the fleet to withdraw from Wan Yao Island, otherwise I will use cannons to raze your Wan Yao Kingdom to the ground”

“Hahaha, just relying on your few broken ships, you dare to oppose our Wan Yao Nation, as long as our Myriad Monster Nation’s Kraken can overturn your entire ship pair, let you and your men fell into the sea to feed the fish”

“I know the abilities of your Myriad Demon Kingdom goblins, but if you insist on fighting, we will accompany you to the end. We won’t leave until you take Emperor Jianwen back, and we will stick here until you get your hands on it. until they are handed over”

At this time, Solanum nigrum decided to show Zheng He some color, so that they could retreat in spite of the difficulties

“Being out of control, the little ones, let them fall into the sea one by one to feed the sharks”

After she finished speaking, some of the sea monsters around her jumped into the sea and turned into giant squid and octopuses that used their tentacles to entangle some of the ships led by Zheng He and drag them to the ground. At the bottom of the sea, Zheng He’s ships lost five ships at once. When Zheng He saw this, he immediately ordered his warships to concentrate their firepower on the direction of Solanum. Hit the target, just when Zheng He and his men thought that nightshade had been bombarded to death by their cannons, they didn’t expect that after a puff of smoke, the dozen steel **** that had just been fired were all suspended in the air. The cannonball is surrounded by a green light, and below the green light is the beautiful shadow of Solanum vulgaris

“Give it back to you”

After Solanum nigrum shouted, the dozen or so shells were reflected on Zheng He’s ships, and at that moment, four more ships were either sunk or destroyed; at this time, Zheng He was angry, He tore off his black robe angrily, then jumped and used his inner strength to rise into the air, using his light power to fly into the mid-air where nightshade was suspended and fighting with nightshade, and then the two of them descended to a certain place in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. The fight continued on the shore; during the fight, Zheng He shot hundreds of embroidery needles with colorful lines from his sleeves at nightshade and shouted

“Let you see my unique trick, Sunflower Collection”

“Sunflower Collection” is a martial arts book created by Zheng He himself. This martial arts book was hidden in the Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian after Zheng He’s death, and was later recorded as a treasure book from memory by Yue Su and Cai Zifeng, disciples of Huashan School. The remnant was able to reappear in the rivers and lakes, which in turn led to the battle between the Five Sacred Sword Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect. At this time, Solanum nigrum’s hands were immediately entangled by the lines brought by the sudden flying needle. When she used her internal strength to try to get rid of the lines, she found that her arms were wrapped more and more tightly. This is because she has For the first time in her life, she was defeated by human beings. After losing the effect of Wan Yao Jin Dan, she could no longer resist the offensive of martial arts masters like Zheng He because of the greatly reduced skills; when Zheng He wanted to send another needle into the dragon When Aoi was in his heart, a green light struck him powerfully and threw him into the air

“Stop”

Zhu Yunwen shouted after withdrawing his palm. When Zheng He fell from mid-air to the shore and got up to stand firm, he realized that the palm was actually sent by Zhu Yunwen. At this time, Zhu Yunwen was holding asked his lady nightshade with concern

“Long’er, are you alright”

Long Kui looked at his husband affectionately, said Zhu Yunwen

“I’m fine, husband, you’re finally here”

At this time, Zhu Yunwen let go of the nightshade and went straight to Zheng He and asked

“Did Zhu Di send you here?”

Zheng He hurriedly bowed his hands and saluted after seeing Zhu Yunwen

“My minister Zheng He sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, I report back to your majesty that I, the Great Emperor Yongle, want to take you back and re-establish you as the emperor of our Ming Dynasty”

But Zhu Yunwen doesn’t eat his way

“I am no longer the emperor of Ming Dynasty, I am now the king of Wan Yao Kingdom, and I do not want to go back”

At this time, Solanum nigrum rushed to Zhu Yunwen’s side and said to Zheng He

“He is now the king of the Myriad Demons. It’s not uncommon for him to be the emperor of your Ming Dynasty, so get out of here”

“What, have you become the king of the Wan Yao Kingdom?”

Zheng He asked in surprise

“That’s right, I’ve already taken the Wan Yao Jindan and now I have boundless mana. I’m no longer the Zhu Yunwen I used to be. You go back and tell Zhu Di, and reassure him that I, Zhu Yunwen, will never compete with him for the throne. For the sake of no injustice and no enmity between you and me, I’ll let you go, and now I’ll take your fleet out of the Myriad Demons.”

As soon as Zhu Yunwen finished speaking, Zheng He watched from the shore and watched all the ships he led had been entangled by the tentacles of squids and octopuses that had long been turned into sea monsters; watching Zheng He panicked At the time, Zhu Yunwen said contemptuously

“Have you seen it? Your ship has now been completely controlled by the siren of my Wan Yao Kingdom. As long as I give an order, your subordinates will be buried in the belly of the fish. How’s it going, where are you going? don’t go”

At this time, Zheng He no longer had any bargaining chips to negotiate with Zhu Yunwen. Seeing that his fleet was so threatened, he had to compromise with Zhu Yunwen

“Ok, I’m leaving, please let them go”

After a while, under the order of Zhu Yunwen, the Krakens took the initiative to let go of the ship led by Zheng He; then, Zheng He led his fleet to leave the Wan Yao Kingdom in a hurry. After returning to the capital, Zheng He returned the unopened imperial decree that Zhu Xi had given him to Zhu Xi, and told Zhu Xi what he had encountered when he led the fleet to surround the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons. After hearing this, Zhu Xi was shocked and said.

“What, do you say that Zhu Yunwen is now the king of the Wan Yao Kingdom?”

Zheng He cupped his hands and replied

“Yes, Your Majesty. He also said that he no longer wants to return to the Central Plains, and will never compete with you for the throne, so that you can be the emperor with peace of mind”

At night, Zhu Di, who was sleeping in the bedroom, was suddenly awakened by a green light; he suddenly found a figure standing beside his bed. When he took a closer look, he realized that this person was actually the nephew Zhu Yunwen he had always wanted to get rid of; he quickly got up and looked at Zhu Yunwen in a panic and said in a panic

“You…what are you doing here? How did you get in?”

“I came to see my fourth uncle because I missed my fourth uncle!”

At this time, Zhu Di hurriedly shouted to the door

“Come on, there are assassins; escort, escort”

“Don’t shout, all your people have been given by me using the Dingshan method, and even if you hear it, you won’t be able to come and save you”

“What do you want?”

Zhu Di asked helplessly while avoiding Zhu Yunwen for fear that he would murder him

“What do you want? I want to ask what do you want?”

After speaking, Zhu Yunwen approached his fourth uncle Zhu Di, but Zhu Di avoided him like a plague god, so Zhu Yunwen approached Zhu Di and said

“I have already read the imperial edict that you handed over to Zheng He. You pretended to invite me back in the imperial edict and asked me to continue to be the emperor. In fact, you wanted to trick me into the boat and kill me, right?”

“How…how did you know?”

Zhu Di asked while hiding

“Zheng He told me the truth before he left the Wan Yao Kingdom”

At this time, Zhu Yunwen stopped chasing Zhu Di, he sat on the bed where Zhu Di was sleeping and continued to say

“Fourth uncle, you not only took away my throne, but also killed so many of my ministers and relatives. When I escaped from the secret passage, you ordered me to be hunted down. When I escaped to the Myriad Demons, you actually Want Zheng He to assassinate me; do you really become so ruthless and unrighteous, do you feel at ease if you have to behead me and kill you?”

After listening to Zhu Yunwen’s words, Zhu Di explained

“Yunwen, although you and I are uncle and nephew, but for my own selfish interests, I have no choice but to do this; Yunwen, uncle knows that he is sorry for you, uncle…”

When Zhu Di wanted to continue, Zhu Yunwen interrupted him angrily

“Shut up for me, you still have the face to say it’s my uncle, can you be so ignorant of your family for your throne? I tell you, since the day you raised an army against me, I haven’t recognized it again. You are an uncle; you took my throne, killed my loyal ministers, and killed my relatives. I should have killed you a long time ago, but I can’t kill you, because you are the emperor now. If you die, the human world will be destroyed. In chaos, the people will suffer, so I won’t kill you”

After listening to this, Zhu Di finally let go of the hanging heart, so he dared to ask tentatively

“You…really don’t kill me?”

After hearing this, Zhu Yunwen stood up and shook his head disappointedly and looked into Zhu Di’s eyes and said

“As a dignified king of a country, you are so greedy for life and fear of death. When you kill others, you are so ruthless and unscrupulous. Now when people want to kill you, you are like a tortoise with a shriveled head”

After speaking, he took a few steps forward and turned his back to Zhu Di and continued

“Although I won’t kill you now, it doesn’t mean I won’t kill you in the future. As long as you are wise and wise in the future, you will manage the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner so that the people can live a good life. Naturally, I will not look for you, but if you If you become a tyrant or a stupefied monarch, as long as you do something wrong to the people of the Ming Dynasty, I will sneak into your palace while you are sleeping and cut off your head like today, and you will even know how you died. I don’t know.”

After speaking, Zhu Yunwen looked up to the sky with a long smile, and then disappeared into Zhu Di’s bedroom as a wisp of blue smoke, leaving only Zhu Di alone watching the phantom at the moment of Zhu Yunwen’s departure, thinking, reflecting, and at the same time repent.

From there, Zhu Di never mentioned anything about Emperor Jianwen again. He was diligent in political affairs, devoted himself to governing the country, inherited the rule of Hongwu, created a prosperous age of Yongle, and built the Ming Dynasty into the most powerful nation in the world at that time. richest country.
