Chapter 487 Protecting the Best Sister 29
"leader!"
Everyone in the caravan was stunned.
They watched their boss being taken away by Li Mingzhu and hurriedly rode their horses to rescue him.
As a result, he was stopped by Feng Da and others before he took a few steps.
The members of the caravan are blessed with fine horses, and each of them is a good horse driver, achieving unity between man and horse.
The members of the Holy Mother Gang had eaten a lot of good things from Li Mingzhu and received her careful guidance, so they all had great skills.
The two evenly matched sides fought each other in an instant.
Li Mingzhu had previously instructed not to kill the members of the caravan.
As for the caravan, their boss was still in the hands of the other party, and they were afraid of any mishaps, so they were a little hesitant to take action.
Both sides left room for maneuver, and started to slack off for unknown reasons while fighting.
Li Mingzhu handed Hua Rong over to her own general, then turned around and rushed back, tying up all the people she liked.
Anyone who had a say was captured by Li Mingzhu. The caravan was now at a loss and wandered around, not knowing what to do.
Li Mingzhu shouted to the caravan: "Use the horses to redeem the people!"
Huarong is the eldest and the most valuable, and must be exchanged for a thousand horses.
Counting down, each member of the caravan has his or her own price.
The caravan calculated for a long time and found that the ransom alone would cost most of their wealth.
How to do this?
But he had to save the person, so in the end Huarong's husband Qian Qing gritted his teeth and handed over both the person and the horse.
Li Mingzhu kept her word and released Hua Rong and the others.
Then that night, she tied up the same group of people again in the same way.
Hua Rong shouted in grief and anger: "You are cheating!"
Li Mingzhu curled her lips and said, "Then let me ask you, did I release you guys during the day as promised?"
Huarong: ...
Li Mingzhu continued to stab Huarong in the chest: "You guys are not strong enough, and you blame me?"
Huarong cursed: "You @%&¥beep beep..."
The amount of maternal content is amazing.
Li Mingzhu scratched his ears and spread his hands towards Huarong: "Give it to me!"
He couldn't win by fighting, and he was no match for his opponent by cheating. In the end, Hua Rong could only surrender in frustration.
Anyway, if they continue to give more, the caravan won’t have many horses left. It’s better to be sensible and have a good ending.
Li Mingzhu felt a little regretful: "Oh, I thought we could have a 'seven captures and seven releases' scene. Tsk tsk tsk~"
Huarong: ...
Are you human?!
After conquering the horse caravans, a large area from the southwest to the northwest was taken over by the Holy Mother Church.
The next one is Yu Xuan.
At this time, the name of the Holy Mother Church had already resounded throughout Daxia, and Yu Xuan naturally knew about it.
Looking at Li Mingzhu, who was standing in the lead wearing armor, Yu Xuan shouted, "The traitor must be executed!"
Li Mingzhu sneered: "Yu Xuan, have you forgotten how your title of General Zhenbei came to be?"
They are all traitors, the eldest brother doesn't say anything about the second brother.
Yu Xuan believed that he was canonized by the court and had a legitimate status. He could not tolerate Li Mingzhu's contempt, so he sent his generals to fight.
Seeing this, Li Mingzhu glanced at the side and said, "Feng Da, you go!"
"Okay, just wait and see!" Feng Da waved his sword and rushed towards the other party.
After a fierce battle, Yu Xuan's men were killed by Feng Da.
Feng Da yelled, “Who else?!”
"damn it!"
Yu Xuan was very angry and continued to send his men to fight.
However, three of them died in a row at Feng Da's knife.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yu Xuan quickly sounded the call to withdraw his troops.
How could Li Mingzhu let him go? He ordered the soldiers to beat the drums and rushed out on his own, "Kill!!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
One side is full of vigor and momentum, while the other side is retreating. The outcome is clear.
Yu Xuan has a group of people who are loyal to him and cannot be killed easily.
After a series of threats and inducements, Li Mingzhu finally subdued Yu Xuan and his gang.
On the other hand, Huang Tiancheng also successfully took over the Northeast region.
At this point, except for the area around Kyoto, the land around Daxia became the territory of the Holy Mother Church.
Li Mingzhu stopped his horse, looked out at Dadu, and murmured, "It's finally over!"
Bactrian Palace.
"Your Majesty, this is bad! The Holy Mother Church is invading!"
The chief eunuch stumbled in, and without caring about the rebellion, he shook the emperor who was sleeping soundly.
"Well?"
The emperor was awakened and drowsily woke up: "What did you say?"
"Your Majesty, the rebels have breached the city gates and are heading towards the Imperial City!"
"What?" The emperor was immediately awakened from his nap and stood up in panic, "Where's Sun Yao? What is he doing?!"
Sun Yao is the commander of the Jianzhang Camp, responsible for guarding the safety of Kyoto.
"Lord Sun... was killed by the rebels..." The eunuch chief fell to the ground and burst into tears.
The sound of swords and spears could be heard outside, accompanied by shouts of killing.
The emperor fell to the ground, his face as pale as paper.
In front of the Jinhe Hall, Zhang Rulan, dressed in gorgeous imperial attire, stood in front of the hanging sash step.
Li Mingzhu smiled and said to Zhang Rulan, "Sister, go ahead!"
Zhang Rulan nodded, turned around and slowly walked up the stairs step by step.
Behind her, Li Mingzhu slowly drew out her sword and smiled at the Royal Guards who were charging towards her from a distance.
"kill!"
In the 21st year of Yongping, Xia was destroyed, and Empress Zhang Rulan ascended the throne, established Guohua, and established the Zhaoyang era.
…………
"Aunt, I want to go to sea!"
Li Mingzhu was sitting in the yard drinking milk tea and eating melon seeds when Zhang Cang ran in excitedly from outside.
Seeing the leisurely Li Mingzhu, Zhang Cang curled his lips, sat down next to her, picked up the teapot on the table and started drinking "ton ton ton".
Li Mingzhu was curious: "What did you just say? Going out to sea?"
Zhang Cang wiped his mouth and sighed, "It's all those people who have nothing better to do than to eat. They keep nagging me all day long, saying things like the Crown Princess is still young and her future is uncertain. I'm the only male in the Zhang family, and they'll help me ascend the throne, blah blah blah..."
He grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said as he ate them, "They're all treating me like a fool! If they really had a way to deal with the emperor, would they still come to me?"
After Zhang Rulan came to power, she immediately started a large-scale purge. All the corrupt officials were killed, and the ground in Caishikou was stained red with blood.
Li Mingzhu: “…Yes!”
So the original person was a fool who believed everything others said, and ended up hurting himself and others.
"Cousin, you're here too!"
Princess Zhang Yi ran in from outside, holding a mace. "You've come just in time. Will you practice with me?"
Zhang Cang quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, no, no, I can't beat you!"
Seven years ago, Zhang Rulan gave birth to a daughter, Zhang Yi. In order to stabilize people's hearts, she was directly canonized as the Crown Princess.
Considering that there were too many things to do in the early days of the founding of the country, Zhang Rulan entrusted Zhang Yi to the care of Li Mingzhu and concentrated on competing with the ministers in wits and courage.
If a feudal dynasty implemented a democratic election system, it would cause national turmoil.
The country had just stabilized and Li Mingzhu did not want to make a big fuss, so at Zhang Rulan's request, she helped her give birth to a daughter smoothly.
In the early days of the founding of the country, the continuation of bloodline can stabilize the people's hearts.
In order to ensure that her sister would not have any worries, Li Mingzhu worked hard as "Dehua" and brought Zhang Yi to her side to teach him carefully.
Zhang Yi was smart and clever, and he inherited Zhang Rulan's cleverness. Even at a young age, he could make others run around in circles.
"Cousin, are those people trying to get you to join them again?" Zhang Yi grinned. "Now that the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the Queen Mother is in the public's favor, why don't they give up?"
Li Mingzhu never hid important matters from Zhang Yi, so Zhang Yi knew exactly what those people were thinking.
"That's right!" Zhang Cang complained to Zhang Yi, "Why don't you grow up? If you grow up, I won't have to worry about you anymore!"
Zhang Yi smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Yi knew from a young age that she would become an emperor in the future, so she studied hard and exercised, striving to become a good crown princess with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor.
Zhang Cang felt itchy and reached out to grab the mace, but he couldn't lift it.
"Wow, it's so heavy!" Zhang Cang was shocked. "Is this another gift from the Duke of Zhenguo?"
When the dynasty was first established, all of Zhang Rulan's old team members were rewarded.
Huang Tiancheng was conferred the title of Duke of Zhenguo and concurrently served as the leader of Jianzhang Camp, enjoying unrivalled prestige.
Zhang Rulan wanted to have a baby and needed seeds, so Li Mingzhu was picky and found several men for her.
Huang Tiancheng is one of them.
However, until Zhang Rulan gave birth to Zhang Yi, no one knew who Zhang Yi's biological father was.
"What I want is a child, a qualified heir." Zhang Rulan blew on the ink on the memorial, rather nonchalantly. "As for who her father is, it doesn't matter."
In response to this, Li Mingzhu said: My sister is right!
Huang Tiancheng is indeed sincere to Zhang Rulan. He has not married or had children for so many years, and there is not even a woman in his house.
In his heart, Zhang Yi is his child.
but……
Li Mingzhu looked at Zhang Yi's fair and pretty face and felt that it should not be the case.
Hearing Zhang Cang's words, Zhang Yi nodded: "Yes, last time I casually asked for a mace, he brought it to me."
"Tsk tsk," Zhang Cang shook his head, "Love-brained, love-brained!"
Li Mingzhu smiled without saying a word, just eating melon seeds.
Zhang Cang and Zhang Yi argued for a while before returning to the topic: "Aunt, aren't you preparing to go to sea now? Can I go with you then?"
Li Mingzhu looked at Zhang Cang and touched his chin: "It's not impossible, but what about your wife and children?"
Zhang Cang scratched his head: "Uh..." He had never thought about this.
Li Mingzhu gave him a look of disdain: "Scumbag! Come on, you'd better stay in the capital. When I leave, I'll need you to help the emperor."
Zhang Cang was helpless: "Alright!"
In the 19th year of Zhaoyang, large ships sailed out from a port in southern China, and the scene was grand.
Li Mingzhu stood at the bow, looking at the vast water, feeling very proud.
She waved her hand and said, "Let's go!"
Our journey is to the sea of stars!
