[Section 13] Destruction
Zhu Di led his troops to inspect the corpses of Ma Erbao and Duoyan Sanwei.
In a jungle, there was a patch of yellow grass and dead books. It was completely different from the surrounding green land, and it looked particularly scary.
There were also corpses scattered on the grass. The soldiers counted them and found that there were 113 corpses in total. All the three guards of Duoyan and Ma Erbao were wiped out.
Zhu Di was surrounded by a group of guards and sat on a chair to drink tea and rest in a temporary shed. From a distance, Ma Sanbao and Yao Guangxiao looked at the bodies of Ma Erbao and Nie Xiaoping.
He looked closely at the injury, his brows furrowed, as if he had no clue.
Yao Guangxiao was also known as Monk Daoyan. At this time, Yao Guangxiao had already returned to secular life. Only a few people knew that Yao was a Shaolin monk before. Everyone thought that he was a Qing guest and Zhu Di's military advisor.
Ma Sanbao is the younger brother of Ma Erbao and is also a member of the Hui ethnic group in Yunnan. He was also subjected to castration and is now always guarding the newly appointed Yongle Emperor Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Sanbao's martial arts was more powerful than his elder brother. Ma Erbao was taught the Liuli Cloud Spider Hand, but Ma Sanbao was taught another evil kung fu called the Dumoluo Divine Kung Fu. At first, the masters of the Delhi Sultanate only passed this kung fu on to his younger brother.
Because his elder brother was not talented enough and his internal strength did not reach the level of practicing the magical skill of saving Mara, only Ma Sanbao learned this advanced evil martial arts. Mara is the unbounded demon king in Western Buddhism, who originally created this kung fu.
People from the Sultanate of Delhi were deeply aware of the hardships of practicing this skill, so they said that after learning the Demon-Destroying Gong, they could actually save the unbounded demon king, which shows how powerful the Demon-Destroying Magic Kung Fu is. Ma Sanbao was tortured by the palace, and he practiced it without being disturbed by the desires of the world.
By practicing martial arts with concentration, he was able to reach a level that had never been reached by the masters of the Delhi Sultanate.
King Ning led the Duoyan Guards across the desert for twenty years. Even Zhu Di, who was good at fighting, admired the Duoyan Guards very much. The Mongolian, Jiannu and other tribes all stayed away from the Duoyan Guards.
However, the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty was led by three highly skilled warriors: Blood Eagle, Afterimage, and Jibao. They had more than a hundred carefully selected cavalry, and they were all wiped out in one battle. Zhu Di felt that this was not something that only a few people could do, and this was bound to happen.
It was the work of an entire army. Although it was a pity to lose Duoyan Sanwei and Ma Erbao, Zhu Di thought about when he could take this powerful team under his banner and fight for it. The solution to the northern barbarian issue must be just around the corner.
Yao Guangxiao thought differently. He looked at the scene and thought about what happened. He could see that everyone was poisoned and died, but what kind of poison was this? How was it poisoned? There was no thought at all.
Yao Guangxiao was born in Shaolin. He has learned the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin. He has reached the advanced level of internal strength and has a wide range of knowledge. He has been in the world for decades and has few opponents. But after thinking about it, he has never heard of such a powerful poison that can kill people with a snap of his fingers.
More than a hundred people. The Book of Poisons describes all the poisons in the world. The last chapter of the book describes the seven major poisons in the world: Crane Crown Red, Nantian Spider, Black Lacquer Baoshu Pill, Hundred-step Snake Venom, Green Scorpion, Golden Thread Mushroom, and Heaven and Earth Luohua.
.Each poison has a detailed introduction, including toxicity, usage, antidote, etc. But among them, only the page of Tiandi Luohua is blank, with only one sentence: I only heard its name, but not its details.
There is no record of this in the Bible.
Yao Guangxiao is familiar with all kinds of poisons. He has seen the first six poisons, all of which are fatal poisons. However, judging from this scene, the poison spread and spread, and its roots followed the vines for tens of feet, and everything was withered.
There was no poison in his memory that had such characteristics. Yao Guangxiao was shocked: "Is it really the legendary Luohua of Heaven and Earth, the datura flower poison taken from the boundary between heaven and earth?"
Yao Guangxiao pointed to Nie Xiaoping's hand and asked Ma Sanbao, "Do you know what kind of poison this is?"
Ma Sanbao shook his head and said he had never heard of it.
Yao Guangxiao frowned. Seeing Yao Guangxiao thinking hard, Zhu Di called them over and asked, "What did you find?"
"Your Majesty, he probably died of a powerful poison. But from the corpses of all the people, none of the poisons matched this characteristic. Therefore, Wei Chen guessed that this was a poison that rarely appeared, and it might be in the scriptures.
There are few records in Lidu about the Luohua of Heaven and Earth. It is said that the source of the poison is extremely difficult to obtain, difficult to make, and there is no cure. It comes from a mysterious family. "
"Mysterious family? Which family?" Zhu Di asked in a higher tone.
"Your Majesty, I am not clear about this. Please give me some more time."
"So, is Emperor Jianwen alive or dead? Do you know?"
Ma Sanbao didn't speak much. He just shook his head and said, "I don't know." Zhu Di had always trusted Ma Sanbao because he was concise and to the point, and he was honest in his work and did not make mistakes.
Yao Guangxiao continued: "Based on this scene, it is speculated that Emperor Jianwen was the only one who survived. This man saved Emperor Jianwen and killed everyone." Yao Guangxiao pointed at Nie Xiaoping and said that this man's palms were ulcerated and his entire arm was damaged.
Like black coal. Others are not, so it can be seen that he is the one who sends out the poison.
Seeing this man standing tall and majestic, Zhu Di asked, "Who is this man?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know. There is no information about this person. Please investigate carefully."
"That Duoyan Sanwei reported yesterday that there were traces of Emperor Jianwen. If there is no body of Emperor Jianwen at the scene, then he must have escaped. From the scene, it seems that Emperor Jianwen went south." Yao Guangxiao pointed to the withered yellow line.
Lu said.
"If you want to see a person in life and a corpse in death, you must find Emperor Jianwen, otherwise I will not be able to sleep or eat well."
"Your Majesty, I suggest that this important task be carried out by Sanbao. Only Sanbao has the ability, martial arts, and courage to do this."
Yao Guangxiao's mind changed quickly. In this crisis, Ma Sanbao and Yao Guangxiao had the most credit. If we really want to reward according to merit, Ma Sanbao, who saved Zhu Di several times in life and death situations, might have the greater credit. Taking advantage of this incident
, moving Sanbao away from the center of power will make his position more stable.
Zhu Di looked sideways at Yao Guangxiao, not knowing what he was thinking. Zhu Di had other problems in his mind. Although he was grateful to Ma Sanbao for saving him many times, he was a Hui man and would be besieged by the Han in the future in terms of government affairs. In his heart
Deep down, Han people are still put first. Handing over this important task can directly lead to Tianting, which can be said to be a high-level position. But it cleverly places him outside the core. Although it is a suspicion of trust, it is even more avoidable.
Mouth and tongue.
Zhu Di paused and said, "Sanbao, I'll leave this task to you. Yao Guangxiao has other military and political matters to do. From now on, you can concentrate on searching for Emperor Jianwen. Any resources are at your disposal, and
You can give advice at any time and report it carefully without any worries."
"Yes." Ma Sanbao replied.
As soon as Zhu Di left, he suddenly turned back and said to Yao Guangxiao: "In accordance with my will, Ma Sanbao made great contributions in the battle of Zhengcunba. He was given the surname Zheng and the name He, and he was raised from the slave status. From today on, you
His name is Zheng He."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ma Sanbao happily agreed loudly. It was a great honor to be given a surname. Removing his slave status also proved that he was no longer a slave of Prince Yan's palace, but an upright official. He raised his head and happened to meet Yao Guangxiao.
