Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1234 - 291: Battle of Destiny, Chen 94 vs Zhu Chong
Originally, the plan of Prince Ruyang was to capture the disobedient Jianghu people in Jiangnan at one go, provided it did not attract the attention of powerful figures like those from the Heavenly List, then he would dare to launch a massacre. Unfortunately, he managed to attract the attention of Master Kudu, ranked fifth on the Heavenly List.
Thus, the first plan could not be executed and had to be handled according to the rules.
Of course, this was also part of Prince Ruyang’s consideration. As a leader of a major force, it was common to prepare multiple plans; if one failed, just switch to another. Moreover, Prince Ruyang’s approach this ti was open and visible.
And Master Kudu and Song Yuanqiao, although they were not familiar with Prince Ruyang, had interacted with him before, so when Prince Ruyang claid to be a guardian of the younger generation, the two dismissed it as re nonsense.
Had it not been for the two of them here at Imperial Temple, Hero Niu would likely have been dismbered by Prince Ruyang.
Therefore, they also smiled along with Prince Ruyang, creating an eerie atmosphere around the eerie grins of the three major figures.
anwhile, Lord Wuxiang had already stepped onto the arena, and Han Baiyi was pulled away by the people from the Prince Mansion.
Lord Wuxiang announced, "Han Baiyi loses, the second match was won by the Imperial Temple, Young Hero Niu!"
Zhu Yuanzhang turned and bowed with clasped fists to those around him, "Thank you for letting win!"
His face still showed a sincere smile, if people hadn’t witnessed his earlier display of power, they might have thought he was easy to bully.
Nonetheless, Zhu Yuanzhang’s strength earned applause from everyone, especially because, this ti, they Jianghu people were on the sa side, and Zhu Yuanzhang’s victory over Han Baiyi lifted their spirits. Hence, they were quite admiring of Zhu Yuanzhang, cheering loudly.
Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you all, if any fellow Jianghu person is willing to discuss martial arts with , you are welco to visit Haozhou. I, Niu, will surely welco you warmly."
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted again into discussions, many expressing intentions to visit Haozhou to discuss martial arts with Hero Niu.
Zhu Yuanzhang’s lips curled up, "Of course, not only you, anyone practicing martial arts is welco to co to Haozhou; my Haozhou welcos you all!"
"I would also appreciate it if Jianghu friends spread the word, thank you all!"
With these words, the people below cheered loudly; hearing this feedback, Zhu Yuanzhang’s lips curled up again—it worked, haha, it really worked!
His purpose in coming to Longxing Prefecture, beyond that Wu Mu’s Legacy, was largely to enhance Haozhou’s reputation. Zhu Yuanzhang had ambitions swallowing the heavens, but he needed high-level help.
Before recruiting talent, he must have his own reputation; without na recognition, how could he recruit heroes?
Thus, Zhu Yuanzhang fully utilized the advertising effect, inviting heroes from across the land to Haozhou—not just for discussing martial arts.
Of course not; once they arrive, he would surely offer fine wine and dining, and then discuss martial arts. Discuss the grand state of the world; talk about this corrupt, despised Daqian Dynasty, discuss grand plots of kingship and overthrowing the old dynasty to establish a new one.
That’s Zhu Yuanzhang’s purpose, having painstakingly studied martial arts for twenty years; no one knew his na. But now, lighting up the arena all at once, soon the whole world would know his na!
Zhu Yuanzhang accomplished his objective, and his na was destined to shine!
At this mont, he achieved half his goal, and the remaining half was to claim first place at this tournant. This would increase the value of his invitation, and he could also get the upper volu of "Wu Mu’s Legacy" to combine with what he had, thus completing the set.
His "Wu Mu’s Legacy" was problematic; it only contained the second half, which required extrely high military strategy talent to comprehend.
Yes, Zhu Yuanzhang himself, after twenty years, only understood it partially.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered his second younger brother, Xu Da, was a genius; this guy actually understood "Wu Mu’s Legacy." He once transcribed part of it for Xu Da to read.
Unexpectedly, his younger brother really understood it and even drew inferences from it.
At that mont, Zhu Yuanzhang realized this brother has a limitless future; his military achievents could likely never be matched by Zhu Yuanzhang in his lifeti.
So Zhu Yuanzhang handed half of "Wu Mu’s Legacy" and three sets of arrays to Xu Da for study. Zhu Yuanzhang dared not show everything; after all, he was highly suspicious, even if Xu Da was his dearest brother.
They both grew up naked together, yet Zhu Yuanzhang was still uneasy. His upbringing, including the ti living with his grandfather, involved hearing many stories from the Qian Song era, including many mind-blowing events.
Zhu Yuanzhang rembered these stories, knowing human hearts are not to be trusted; no one won’t betray, just that the stakes aren’t high enough.
Therefore, he wanted strong military capability himself, but "Wu Mu’s Legacy" was truly incomprehensible to him.
Hence he pinned his hope on that upper volu of "Wu Mu’s Legacy"; while the lower volu was deep military strategy application, surely the upper volu would impart basic principles of military strategy. With these, he could understand what the lower volu conveyed.
Wouldn’t he also be able to achieve divine wisdom in military strategy?
Thinking along these lines, Zhu Yuanzhang looked toward the high stage where "Wu Mu’s Legacy" was placed.
It must be mine.
Only one battle remains; regardless of the opponent, he must win.
anwhile, below the arena, Chen Jie was stopping He Yishou, preparing to participate in this match on behalf of He Yishou.
