Chapter 4: Mirror Demon "Master Xiang..." Hua Hanchun witnessed Hu Weiyong's head falling to the ground with his own eyes. He was so angry and his injuries flared up that he spit out a mouthful of blood. Mao Xiang seized the opportunity and thrust his finger back, pressing the Danzhong acupoint on his body, sealing his acupoints and destroying his martial arts skills. "I kill you!" The sturdy man looked at the head on the ground, then at the corpse in his arms. His eyes immediately turned red and he rushed towards Zhao Wumian like a mad beast. Just as Jiang Huan was about to attack, Yun Qi waved his hand casually and a light palm strike hit the sturdy man's chest. The next moment, the sturdy man exploded with blood and flesh flying everywhere, and he was torn into pieces! "Everything that should come, and everything that shouldn't come, has come." Yun Qi looked at Mao Xiang and said, "Master Mao, it's time to close the net."
"Yes." Mao Xiang nodded immediately and waved his hand, and all the Jinyiwei who had come to their senses rushed towards the remaining men in black. The massacre begins. Jiang Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief, walked over quickly, and looked at the unconscious Zhao Wumian: "Eunuch Yun, what is he doing..." Yun Qi felt his pulse for a moment, understood clearly, and said: "His meridians and physique are several times stronger than those of ordinary people, which is a good thing. However, a dragon that is too arrogant will regret, and fullness cannot last long. This is also a congenital defect. It's okay, it's just a backlash, it's not a big deal." There is a method of cleansing the meridians and marrow in the palace, but if you do it, it may cure the disease, but you will no longer have such good innate qualifications. "I see." Jiang Huan looked at the head on the ground and exclaimed: "No wonder he was only in the first realm, but he was able to wake up the fastest and achieve such a great result. Old Zhao is not honest. He has such a treasure hidden at home, but he didn't say a word! If I had known this, I would not have let him come. Now the situation is a bit bad..." Zhao Wumian killed Hu Weiyong with his own hands. Although he was executing the execution on behalf of others, in the eyes of Hu's party, he was the culprit who killed Hu Weiyong! If you don't dare to retaliate against the emperor, then you dare not retaliate against such a small person? If Zhao Wumian had not interfered at the critical moment this time, neither he nor Mao Xiang would have had a good outcome. He was grateful in his heart and had good thoughts in mind, so he said a few more words and was a little worried about him. Yun Qi didn't take it seriously and said calmly, "He has performed well and has won the emperor's favor. He will naturally help him find a solution. Don't worry, those who kill Jinyiwei are guilty of treason and their entire clans should be executed. Those people dare not come openly." "That's what the father-in-law said." Jiang Huan said, "This time, Zhao Wumian, despite the huge difference in cultivation, faced the challenge head-on and bravely killed the enemy. He can be regarded as loyal and brave. I think the word 'test' can be removed. I will finish writing the document and report it to the governor. Please, eunuch, submit it to His Majesty on my behalf." "It is natural to do what one should do." Yun Qi waved his hand, and a young eunuch ran over and carried Zhao Wumian on his back: "The emperor has a secret order before returning to the palace, ordering me to pass on a set of skills as a reward. I will take him away first." Jiang Huan clasped his fists and saluted: "Goodbye, eunuch." Yun Qi walked away with his hands behind his back. On the other side, the Jinyiwei had also finished their killing, and the prisoners and men in black fell to the ground. Mao Xiang stood sternly with a bloody sword in his hand. The entire execution ground was littered with dead bodies and the air was filled with blood.
…… When Zhao Wumian woke up again, it was already late. The setting sun shines into the room through the window, giving a sense of tranquility and peace. He sat up and found that it was an unfamiliar residence. Although it was cold in the first month of the year, there were potted green plants all around, making it warm as spring inside and out. "woke up?" Yun Qi came over with a bowl of medicine in his hand: "You have a body like a dragon, so you should be more careful in the future. Drink this bowl of medicine to nourish your meridians first." Zhao Wumian took it and said, "Thank you very much. May I ask your Excellency..." Yun Qi said: "My surname is Yun and my name is Qi. I am just a servant beside the emperor." Zhao Wumian suddenly realized: "It turned out to be Eunuch Yun from the Imperial Palace. My father mentioned him before. Thank you for your help." Yun Qi waved his hand: "If you want to thank someone, thank His Majesty. You have amazing talent and high understanding. I believe you already knew the situation when you drew your sword." Zhao Wumian smiled: "It's just that the people of the Hu party hate me to the core, and the nobles of Huaixi don't like me. The big trees have all fallen, and the remaining monkeys are just grasshoppers in autumn. Relying on the majesty's majesty, there is nothing to be afraid of." "Oh?" Yun Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise and said with a smile: "I can't tell. Captain Zhao is young and talented, but he is also a smooth talker. However, this is a good point. I will report it truthfully. Don't worry, the emperor never hesitates to praise those who have made contributions." That is. He is generous when it comes to awards and ruthless when it comes to killing. Zhao Wumian just needs to listen to it. In history, even Mao Xiang, the first commander of the Zhenfu Division whose name was recorded in history books, who had made countless contributions and helped Zhu Yuanzhang kill nobles, was finally thrown into the imperial prison and died to appease public anger. Not to mention the other Jinyiwei. In this world, the concentration of imperial power in one person may lead to fewer compromises, but it does not necessarily mean that one will be immune. Some things can be done, while some things need to be done more slowly. It's no use working under Lao Zhu if you just do things recklessly. If you don't use your brain, you might be thrown out like a dirty glove at any time. The Hu Weiyong case was only one of the four major cases of the Hongwu reign, and there were three more to come. And this matter was not over yet. The more than 300 people beheaded today were just the beginning, and more than 30,000 people would die as a result of this in the future! The Jinyiwei did not have a good ending during the Hongwu Dynasty, and was eventually disbanded... Zhao Wumian didn’t know how the game’s plot would evolve, so it was better to be cautious. He had to try his best to avoid making enemies with court officials on the premise of being "loyal". Now that he had killed Hu Weiyong with his own hands, it would be impossible for Hu's party to be implicated. This was one less thing to worry about. However, this kind of method could no longer be used in subsequent cases such as the Lan Yu case. Because Jiang Huan, who helped Zhu Yuanzhang to bring up the Lan Yu case, was eventually given a cup of poisoned wine... The thought of working under a boss like this makes me depressed.
However, the sequelae of "God is jealous of talented people" requires relying on the Ming Dynasty's intelligence network, so they can only accept it with a pinch of their nose. Zhao Wumian secretly complained in his heart but appeared respectful on the surface. Yun Qi was very satisfied with his attitude. He took out a secret book from his wide robe and handed it to Zhao Wumian. "Don't worry. The remnants of Yipintang are too busy to take care of themselves. The most stubborn ones have already died. The rest, without Hua Hanchun's magical power to protect them, have no time to escape. No one dares to stay in Beijing. As for those nobles, with His Majesty in charge, they dare not attack you. However, the duties of the Jinyiwei are not only to protect the capital and supervise the officials, but also to suppress the warriors of the world and kill the beasts in the mountains and seas. You will have to leave Beijing one day, so His Majesty has specially ordered me to bring this technique to you." Zhao Wumian looked down and saw four big characters written on the cover: "Actor's Treasure Mirror". Yun Qi added: "Middle level of earth rank." "Earth steps?" Zhao Wumian couldn't help but show a look of surprise. According to the known game settings, contemporary martial arts, magic weapons, and natural treasures are divided into four phases and twelve levels. The four phases are heaven, earth, black and yellow, and each phase is further divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. The Earth Level is already the level of peerless divine power, second only to the miraculous Heaven Level. The "Killing Waves Art" and "Ten Miles of Mad Blade" that his original body practiced were only the lowest level of the Yellow Grade. Even during the internal testing phase, Zhao Wumian only got a copy of the lower level of the Profound Grade. That secret book is very famous and is called "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth". I didn't expect that Lao Zhu was so generous and gave me a local rank right at the start! If this thing were to be released into the martial arts world, it would definitely cause a bloody storm. "Yes." Yun Qi introduced: "The creator of this technique is Jing Xinmo, a very favored actor during the reign of Emperor Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty. He took a unique approach and integrated 'acting' into martial arts to create this technique, which can mobilize the true qi in the body to change one's appearance and imitate other people's appearance and martial arts, making the fake look real. During the Song Dynasty, the great thief Song Sigong, who was a threat to Bashu, got this method by chance. He only understood a little bit of it, but it has been changed into thousands of forms, making it extremely difficult to catch. Since you can learn "Jinghong Treading Snow Step" just by watching, your understanding is naturally far superior to his, and perhaps you can make this method famous all over the world. " "Jinghong Treading Snow Steps" is the unique skill of the previous generation of the demon sect Tianji Palace, and it is also a earth-level skill. Since Zhao Wumian could understand just by "watching", it would not be difficult for him to learn "The Actor's Treasure Mirror". What surprised Zhao Wumian was not the martial arts itself, but that he did not expect Zhu Yuanzhang to be so generous. However, after listening to the introduction, he understood what they meant. They wanted to rely on disguise and face changing to avoid the entanglement of the Hu party. I have to say, it's really thoughtful. Zhao Wumian was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Eunuch!" Yun Qi was even more satisfied, and nodded, "You can understand it so quickly, it's worth the painstaking efforts of His Majesty. The two fourth-level masters of Yipintang, Hua Hanchun was captured, but there is also the Mad Lion Wu Zefeng, who has cultivated this skill. Under the Heaven-level secret technique, no one can see through your disguise, and he is no exception. This will also make it easier for you to do your job for His Majesty." "I understand." Zhao Wumian clasped his fists and said, "Wumian will definitely concentrate on his training and live up to His Majesty's cultivation!" "So good." Yun Qi took out a short dagger that was shining with cold light, and the sword energy was so fierce and imminent. Zhao Wumian recognized that this dagger was the magic weapon used by the sturdy man who escaped underground to cut off Hanjiang’s black gold lock.
Yun Qi said: "This is the [Cold Moon Blade] that Jing Ke used to assassinate Qin Shi Huang. It can cut iron like mud and is extremely powerful. It's a pity that it is a little short. It can only be used for danger, not for justice. The emperor has ordered that you should use it for self-defense." "..." so generous? Secret manuals of magical skills, magical weapons, all of them are given here? Zhao Wumian blinked his eyes and said with tears of gratitude: "Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful for your grace and will never forget it!" His voice became choked up while he spoke. Yun Qi saw this and his expression became gentler. He smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet... I didn't give you these two things for free." Zhao Wumian understood what he meant: "I don't know what you want me to do, please tell me clearly, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" "Captain Zhao is smart and intelligent, truly extraordinary." Yun Qi praised him and said, "There is no rush for this matter. Hua Hanchun and the Tibetan monk have just been imprisoned. It will take time to find out the connection behind them. When the truth comes out, you will need to take action. It is getting late now, so go back and report that you are safe. You will be promoted to a centurion tomorrow, so don't forget to report to the government office." Zhao Wumian’s realm is low, so there is nothing that he has to do. Since it has nothing to do with strength, it certainly has to do with stance. Zhao Wumian probably understood what was going on, and said readily, "Yes. Take care, eunuch. Wumian will take his leave first." …… (End of this chapter)
